Worst board in America: HP, Yahoo, RIM compete for dubious prize [infographic]
We're using Delphi with various component packs. It would be very expensive to buy all the components at once but we bought all the tools necessary during the previous years one by one. If you want to make Windows apps and you can ignore developer community's hostility against Pascal, then I would recommend Delphi, but if you plan on making cross-platform solutions then take a look at Qt.

Pirating will happen, that's inevitable. The main thing here is not to make your paying customers victims in the fight against pirates and not to worry too much about your software in torrents. Make sure your keys can't be easily generated; people tend to avoid using modified executables for reasonable fear of viruses but have no problems using pirated keys.
This will be my takeaway tl;dr: "Crunch does not make the product ship sooner — it makes the product ready later. Crunch does not make the product better — it makes the product worse."

Far too many people in management don't get, or just choose to ignore, that.

I think I've already left a comment on a similar thread about leading a team through crunch with one of the devs still doing 6 hour days. Some more time has passed and I have to say even when the rest of the team are doing 8 hour days it still feels like there's a difference in focus, intuition and problem-solving.

Of course all that is highly subjective, but it made me think about how to measure the.. craftsmanship? Anyway, intuitively it feels like having a few more hours away from the office would give us some more time to subconciously process the problems and tasks at hand, and when we come back to work we're better prepared for it.

It can't be impossible to conduct some kind of test on this, can it?

Depends on how you work… Photoshop use is not really standardised, it’s just that you are expected to put individual elements in individual layers.

Large web consulting forms expect the visual designer to work this way, to drop a PSD that they can then convert to a template for their CMS… But working in this way you’re relegated to a role of providing a visual look, not really designing the interaction of the site…

Also on a technoligical level it becomes harder tot exploit the possibilities of javascript etc. if you think in a static fashion. if you want more influence you either need to work in a more ping-pong fashion with a developer, or develop yourself.

In both cases I find myself rarely using Photoshop, preferring an iterative process, with sketches on paper and in HTML.

I had this problem when I wanted to buy phpStorm. It costs 94.05 EUR (which I view as expensive for a personal license) with a one-year upgrade.

Why can't you give me fixes for the version I purchased and then sell the next major version ?

Years ago it was the same thing with Trillian IM. While I happily paid Reaper (a DAW) that gives me two major versions.
Thanks, very enjoyable read.
Working with HTTPS and HttpClient
That wasn't my experience. Like I said 10-20% of people could genuinely get more done in their 12th hour and such. It doesn't mean that they never got up from their desks, but it was true that they couldn't get that amount of work done in 8 hours. And it went on for months.

That said, there was lots of downtime, mainly for people whose brains were burnt like mine. Never multi hour lunches though.

It would be surprising if on a talented team there simply weren't people who had much more stamina than others, or just enjoyed their work much more. I'm not saying there's something to be glorified or emulated there.
Yup, that's my case, i miss the easy workflow of other languages with "more feature". I miss native namespace and packaging, class, a code completion that works... etc
I felt a strong urge to downvote this. It sounds like a paternalistic excuse to dismiss the whole article, but then...

Isn't it the case that they can do more in the same amount of time, not work longer? Either way it's a net win, but I don't think you need superpowers to be successful.
I found I could get better than 2:1 against extortionist fairly easily by mixing up my strategy as well.

This is exactly the attitude everyone is challenging.

This is the superman myth, it doesn't exist.

If Bob, our intrepid entrepreneur, actually worked 40 hours a week he wouldn't spend so much time faffing. The 'busy work' disappears. Overall productivity drops the more you work long hours.

I've nowhere near your experience with entrepreneurs, I totally admit, but one of the symptoms I've noticed in crunch entrepreneurs is their mental diarrhoea, they take 15-20 minutes rambling on talking to you about a decision you've asked for that they normally would have made in a minute or 2. You start walking away and then suddenly they have another point/thought. They're mentally exhausted. I can reflect back on myself and see the same thing when I was doing crazy hours.

Some of these people have succeeded, some haven't.

But the person them self doesn't notice. They still think they are operating at high productivity.

> won't change into 1:3 as advertised because from this step I will always defect.

From the description of the extortionist strategy in the demo: "The only way you can avoid being taken advantage of is to resign yourself to the meagre rewards of mutual defection, and to defect on every turn."

So: yes, indeed you can do that, but then your long-run score will be rotten because it will look like a vast succession of (D,D) plays, 1 point each. If you let the Extortionist extort you, you will get substantially more points.
I will almost on principle not buy IAP games.

When I see IAP I tag the games mentally as.

1. Not caring about gameplay.
2. Make all interactions designed to get me to an IAP.

Its way bad for me, as I like strategy/simulataion games, and most of them on IOS have IAP.
I understand why investors might want to get in but why would a company like this take investment? It seems like it would be pretty easy to bootstrap and build a sustainable business from. If they had given it away for free I could understand the need for investment but not when they were making money from the day it launched.
Odd sentence construction:

a rockstar team ... successfully exited the company to Yahoo

I assume this is trying to invoke the jargon use of "an exit", but in this context it has a garden-path reading implying that the team succeeded in quitting the company. I probably would've just said "successfully sold the company".
Watch the embedded video, it's a great illustration of the article. :-)
> she has the ability and right to make decisions influencing her own life and death.

True, but at the end of the day her decision is likely to rest on the advice given to her from an authority. If the doctor isn't following the proposed rules, then it makes the entire thing a fiasco. I guess I should be stressing how important the doctor's role is in the decision process of the patient.

Just a side note, wouldn't the polar opposite of my mentioned case, be where a person tells another person that if they sign a contract then they will kill them?

I wish you the best of luck on your game, I still believe there's plenty of people like us who feel this way as well.
I look at Limbo, Braid or Meat Boy, and they get it. They are great games with no BS.

I don't mind iap for other type of apps, in fact, it's a cool thing, you select only the features you need and you upgrade accordingly. But on games, it's crap, and it must go away.
Maybe so, but what proportion of these apps generate revenue for those who buy and use them? How many such apps help people design things, build things, monitor things, simulate things, and discover things? How many mobile apps exist to run accounting, payroll, and HR? Server software that supports mobile clients isn't itself a "mobile app", unless your claim is simply that mobile devices can replace PCs being used as "dumb terminals", which, while true, means the more interesting software components will often be the non-"mobile" bits.

Even "mobile apps are the future of video games" is only true if the market for games that are neither "casual" nor inherently "social" suddenly dries up.

A somewhat more subtle example of what my friend refers to as "vouns" (ie. nouns used as verbs) - regularly "gifted" to the English speaking peoples of the world by the Americans.

Although exit is of course a verb, it's use in this sentence is pretty confusing given the fact that they're undoubtedly referering to "an exit".
Apple: Our 3G isn't Samsung's 3G
People say a lot of things. You need a business plan, and you need customers. It's ridiculous to think you'll get customers interested in you if they don't know what you're doing. But I think the question is do you do this under NDA?

Now an entirely different issue is if you have any value in keeping your business plan a secret? Most people in business and in Silicon Valley will agree that ideas are cheap and come about often, and it is mostly all about execution.

To that end, I believe that you gain little by keeping your business idea secret, unless you want to be a cool kid and have the lamers at techcrunch or whatever has replaced them with do a big splash.

I believe your best bet is to talk with folks about what you're doing, pitch potential customers and investors and competitors equally, and don't be worried about keeping anything secret.

The counter to this, is that you want your messaging to be clear. If your message is too broad, and you tell too many people too many different things, they'll dismiss you as unclear.

And as a startup you will be unclear. So only share what you're doing with folks you trust, but not because you fear competitors will steal your idea, but because you only get one chance to make a first impression, so be careful how you use that one chance.

I doubt very much that Groupon has that kind of moolah to be throwing around :) Let's just leave it at that.

(In my original comment, I considered including that the biggest risk to the business plan is Groupon, and that therefore the business plan should include hedging or insuring against non-payment for groupon reasons. But thought that was too mean-spirited and negative; I hope groupon does well sustainably and indefinitely - by helping small businesses, not at their expense.)
The original link you submitted is very interesting as well. From what I understand this massive text describes a simple automatic caching strategy.

A part of the system figures out what resources are requested the most and caches them. Then it sends them over to the client together with a minimum page skeleton that can request more things once it's loaded. Based on the cookie, the system knows what additional parts that are being rendered in the background so once the cached parts are loaded, the remaining things can be delivered. This makes it possible to instantly respond and start rendering the website so tasks that maybe take 200ms to compute on the server side don't delay the response.

This is the first time I read an entire software patent. If all it takes to get one of those patents is taking a simple concept and blow it up to 11000 words, I must really ask myself why I spend my time writing software and not software patents.

Even though I think this is a nice idea for scaling high-traffic websites and having them be responsive also when server-side rendering takes relatively long, this is something that belongs in a technical blog post, not a patent. Being able to patent those kind of "inventions" really doesn't seem to benefit anyone.

The impression I get from the (software-)patent system is that its only current purpose is to have a cold war style arms race so large companies don't just nuke each other. In the end, all the big players have tons of "nuclear weapons" in their basements that they cannot get rid of and everybody else has to be afraid of pissing them off by competing with them.

The longer patents like this one are allowed, the worse the effect on business and innovation. This really has to stop.

Our Burmese cats actually do seem to be a bit guilty after they do something bad, also they are very social. Having said that, Burmese cats do have a reputation for being amongst the most dog-like of cat breeds.
Take a look at Bridge (https://www.getbridge.com). You could use that to create a worker responsible for sending mail. Use Bridge to asynchronously route emails to that worker. When you need to scale your send mail worker, just fire up more instances of that worker and Bridge load balances and scales your worker queue.

Absolutely. I wouldn't call texting on a phone (even an old-fashioned one with physical buttons) safer than operating a GPS though. The same bumps and swerves of the road you point out can cause the phone to slip from your hands, fall on the floor and cause an accident, to just name an example.

From what I understand, this is not about cookies.
It's about cookies storing information about pending server-side background tasks so the cached parts of a website can be sent out immediately and the slower server-side tasks can send over the results later without that resulting in a delayed response. If your slowest task takes 500ms, you simply spawn a worker who takes care of the task, immediately send out all things that are in the cache and then have your website render in <100ms. At 500ms, the rest will be filled in. It also seems to include a mechanism to figure out what resources are the most cacheable ones from the usage patterns of the clients.

It's still a joke, but it's more than just setting cookies.

The parable about the elephant and the goldfish was wonderful.
