Although you can make most shapes with a CNC machining center, there are definitely optimal shapes and non-optimal shapes. Seemingly simple things like the ratio between inside corner radius and depth of a pocket can drive the cost up. (eg. a small pocket radius forces the machine to use a smaller/weaker cutter, at depths the tool deflects/chatters and becomes less accurate). It's basically the core of design for manufacturability/lean design thought process.

3D printing avoids a lot of those concerns, but for most metal things I still think it's more trouble than it's worth.

I take it that all of your applications involve public content with minimal if any enhancements to logged in users?
I think after being in business for over a decade, 37signals is way past being called a startup.

Ember is primarily for web apps, not web sites. Apps that require a login are not concerned about crawlability. So, if you're just building websites, you are correct to not choose Ember.js.

Also, it's trivial to have some pieces of your app rendered by rails or whatever you're using server side.

We're using Ember to build the next generation of our product (a web app) and it has been an extremely pleasurable experience.
Branding is as important as product or software development for startups. I'm not talking about selecting cool colors, having a nice logo or tagline, but purposely making strategic marketing decisions so that it's not left to chance or, even worse, your competitors.
I don't think it's a problem, just thought it was interesting.

I have preached this for a while too. Time is worthless, it is up to you to maximize its value by making decisions to increase income or reduce expense.
No, it doesn't.

But who the hell cares?
Sorry that was unclear. I was referring to the modern backlash against multitasking. Specifically, I'm sure that I can't think productively about more than one thing at a time.

There's no question that this system was a technological achievement though and that having access to more than one running program at a time is a good thing.
Yep. Afghan gunsmiths can recreate an AK47 from raw materials.
Not only would it have to be implemented very well, but you have to get the normal people to use it too or else it's worthless.

Wanting to use on your own terms services that depend on network effects generally means either not using the services or shouting into an empty well.
I too find it very odd that Facebook would require a startup to spend more money with them in order to change their page name. It just doesn't seem right.
I have a web app that I've been using for awhile for this kind of thing. Each note is a markdown document that's versioned in a database. I can create new notes via email (using the excellent Mailgun). There's also a pretty full-featured API which lets me do interesting things with notes.

My original goal for it was as a way to get ideas out of my head and onto "paper". It used to be that I would have an idea and then it would circle around my head for weeks while my subconscious tried to work out all the implications.

The thing I use almost every day, though, is the append API call, which just appends a timestamp and some arbitrary markdown to an existing note. I wrote a little script that appends to a particular note, and I run it automatically after consequential actions at work. I also use it to write journal entries about what I'm working on, both for work and side projects.

I've been meaning to get it fit for public consumption and set up somewhere but I haven't gotten around to it. If anyone wants to give it a test run, let me know. If there's a market I might just try to monitize it :)
Good stuff. The era of deep integrations is over. Being nimble is kind now.
"So what they're saying is, Samsung is the same as Apple?"
Yeah, it's true that good technical questions are an interactive process. But I'm not too confident that the OP actually saw the complexity in that question, and the many naive responses certainly did not. Also in the context of trying to come up with code on the spot, knowing how that infinite sum is going to converge strikes me as a quite helpful piece of trivia.

... although maybe my gripe only came about from knowing enough to immediately see that there had to be some kind of convergence bound, but not knowing/figuring exactly what it was.
>Facebook is, in a way, damaging the industry. PG already spoke about how their mishandled IPO could hurt the funding landscape for startups.

I don't know about that. Even if facebook prices never again reach the IPO price, a lot of facebook was sold at IPO price. How much of that money went back to investors and Engineers here in the valley? if most of it did, then we've got a lot more cash floating around now than before.
Basic food costs, which is most of what we're talking about, don't actually vary that much (if anything, they tend to be cheaper in the developed world due to subsidies). It's true that Indian poor pay much less in rent and clothing. But food makes up the bulk of what they have to buy each day, and they don't get a meaningful discount (beyond assistance programs like the one described in the linked article).
This was a serious question. My vision is not what it was when I was younger. I am finding more and more websites are very difficult for me to read, and this one was unreadable for me without the help of Evernote's Clearly extension.

I am a firm believer in the utility of web frameworks, and I'm always willing to look at new ones. I assumed that the tutorial website had been built using Ember.js, and my first impression was not favorable.
I was concerned about this as well, but I'm successfully using an Ember app as just part of my application. The plan is to use multiple ember apps within the same rails app.
I wrote this a little earlier regarding the announcement:

I believe mass-produced street guns will be more cost effective and reliable for the foreseeable future. However, the likelihood of this being used as a reason to regulate 3D printing or 3D design files shouldn't be ignored.
I don't know if it's really that odd. Jason's feelings about the way a company should be run may have been at odds with the way Groupon was run. However, that wasn't what Andrew asked Jason to provide guidance on.

Then again, I'm a scientist and we are trained from the beginning to keep a good lab notebook. If it isn't in the notebook, it didn't happen!
>If company needs programmer and programmer needs job, the relationship is more or less symmetrical. If the company doesn't really need a programmer that much, I guess you are right that the programmer is not in a position to do anything except lick boots.

Only if there's one programmer for the job. If there are many equally skilled programmers applying and interviewing for the position, then the company absolutely has the power.

And to be clear, I never said that the interviewee should be willing to take abuse or insults. However, it is perfectly valid for an interviewer to see how the interviewee handles constructive criticism of their work. That can tell a lot about an applicant, especially on how they might fit in your company's culture.

"I hate to break this to you, but science is not steered by marketing, by "more clicks". It's steered by evidence"

Of course it is. Evidence you get from research which get funded by sparking peoples interest...which can be helped a long way by marketing. But I'll give you that the title was kind of linkbait-y (and funny)

JQuery Conference 2012 presentations released
I'm not seeing why you think the answer is "no," then.

(a) Knowingly? The blog post (and the changing and then changing-back of the UA) makes this clear. (Though if he had happened to inadvertently had his UA set to mobile before hand, maybe to test something the day before, and never even saw the other screen... but once he saw it, and consciously decided to get around the higher price, it hits the "knowingly" requirement.)

(b) "Access a system used by the federal government, a financial institution, or a system used in interstate commerce"? The Gogo system seems pretty clearly an interstate commerce system to me, what with the whole used-across-the-country thing and the charging-for-access part.

(c) Without authorization? He specifically notes that he saw they charged different prices for different devices and purchased the option for a device that was not the type he was using. So he did not purchase authorization to use it from a laptop.
I've now shipped an Ember.js application and a knockout.js application. I enjoyed ember quite a bit but feel that knockout gives me all the magic with half the complexity.

It is true as the author mentions that it doesn't aim to fix the UI/statefullness issue, but I slapped on Backbone Routing on to my knockout code and it made capturing 'state' and urls a breeze.

The last time I used ember was 0.9.6 and I don't think this routing stuff was even in it so I was excited to see talk about it. Unfortunately it looks to be even more complicated then I expected it to. :(

Knockout may be creating some massive memory footprint in the background that will bite me down the line, but I'm writing significantly less code than I was with Ember. For example, In ember you have to create view objects and if you want your view objects to sync data with your controller you have to explicitly define them:

App.userController = Ember.Object.create({

content: Ember.Object.create({

firstName: "Albert",

lastName: "Hofmann",

posts: 25,

hobbies: "Riding bicycles"

})

});

App.UserView = Ember.View.extend({

templateName: 'user',

firstNameBinding: 'App.userController.content.firstName',

lastNameBinding: 'App.userController.content.lastName'

});

Now I get to do my handlebars template
<script>

<div>{{firstName}}</div>

</script>

In knockout just have to do:
App.UserController = {

content = ko.observable(new content());

}

ko.applyBindings(App.UserController);

And now I get to do a knockout template inline with my html:

<div data-bind="text: content.firstName"></div>

It just seems like there are fewer steps with knockout and I'm getting more done. The html is a lot uglier, but it also clearer what is going on when I read it.

The ember guys have come a long way on their doc and they should be commended on it. I like the patterns they are talking about I'm just not sold that it has to be done the way they are doing it. Thanks to the author for putting together such an in depth post to me in the right direction in getting back into Ember.

You are missing the same point he is missing and one more :)

Its not Apple vs MS/Nokia vs Samsung+Motorola+.... as you are claiming. There are myriad of other manufacturers who are making Win8 devices both phone and PCs/tablets.

Also android being free is a myth. It just cost Samsung a billion for making android phone (somewhat indirectly though) also MS has been after a bunch of the android makers for license fees. So what makes it free?
You're confusing Gogo's website with Gogo's WiFi network. It's not too hard to argue that he had authorization to access Gogo's WiFi network from a phone, but not from a laptop.

Facebook Business Model | Saving The Social Network
People in general don't like there time wasted and if you had mad a descision then yes you could say "Sorry but I'm going to agree we would not be a good fit and lets finish up early as I have taken enough of your time". The smart thing is to remember interviews work both ways and if you have concerns then ask them directly in a way that its a show breaker and put the onus upon them. There might be a situation were you dont like something and by telling them then they may very well change it and as such your saving alot of time and potentual mistake. They may very well say it wont happen or give a vauge promise and from that you also know were you stand with clarity and are also in a better position to say sorry for taking up your time and end there. Both can end on a good note, the later is the smarter play though.

In my experience, being "in review" for a very long time means that something in your app has triggered an internal discussion. Since it's internal, it's entirely opaque to you. Imagine that there is a group of people wrangling their schedules to meet a few times and talk about your app, if it helps. It might even be true.

But aside from that possibility, I know that iOS review times have grown lengthy due to the huge number of apps being readied for the iOS 6 / iPhone 5 release. Pure speculation on my part, but I guess it's possible that Mac app reviewers have been temporarily reallocated to iOS app reviews.
No, this is a competitor to SalesForce's Chatter and the like, not Sharepoint (which is more of an enterprise content management tool).

The implications for sharing in a social sense aren't as significant as that for work - especially if you happen to work in a more tightly secured workplace - how many families or friend groups will kick you out for inadvertently sharing sensitive data? - that's a real potential career limiting move in the enterprise space.
Different reasons for why the principle doesn't hold water resonate with different people. The tax issue was more about "if you already do this, beware of ...", not about why it's wrong (that's the rest of the post).

eevilspock, who is obsessive about food, the anorexic saying "I don't need to focus on food" or the person saying "there are different ways of utilizing food, I should be thoughtful which is healthier for me and for my current goals"?

There's a case to be made that being the third person who says "All my life are defined by the exact amount of calories I'm eating" is unhealthy like the first one, but saying that these are the only kind of people who gain value by food advice is a stretch.

Hmmm... was looking at signing up for online accountancy package today. Went to Kashflow and saw their page on API with a headline 'Welcome, Code Monkeys.'

They dont need to learn how to love math, they already do. What you cant teach them is to love a system designed two hundred years ago to teach very ignorant people about math. Most of the people who "hate" math do so because they were forced to "learn" it through an antiquated system. I hated my math classes, yet was always the top score on the annual standarized tests. Its not about math, but about how they teach it.

Best way to teach math? Same way as with other science. Use it. Dont teach kids fractions because of fractions. Show them how fractions work in the real world. My 10 year old niece was having trouble with the multiplication. Why? Because her teacher made them say it in front of the whole class. I went ahead and sat her down. Booted up ubuntu and taught her how multiplication works with javascript. She sat for around one hour toying with the code I wrote for her.

What do you think is more fun?

- Standing in front of other kids who are making fun of you and saying the multiplication tables.

- Writing done the following code and tinkering with it and calculating what the answer will be.

var base = 5;
var num = 4;

var total = num * base;

document.write(total);

//She spent one hour with those four lines of code, and learned more about multiplication. She is now learning python. :)

> Evidence you get from research which get funded by sparking peoples interest...which can be helped a long way by marketing.

Marketing is about persuasion, about emotion, not reason. Science requires a dispassionate pursuit of evidence, without the slightest preference for any given outcome.

> I assume people would actually read the project description before giving their money away.

An idealist. Fair enough. But many people will invest based on what they think the project is about, rather than their actual understanding of it. For example, in a recent survey 51% of respondents believed "cloud computing" had something to do with the weather -- even people who used some aspect of cloud computing in their daily lives.

> I am the originator...and I didn't change anything

Really? I assumed that only the originator could change the title of a submission, and I have a hard time believing that anyone else could change a title. Not that I doubt you, I just see a lot of room for mischief or unfairness.
"We built our own analytic software." "We built a page logger."

wat.

Seriously, doesn't any use the technology that was given to them in the late 90s? Apache write log files. Open source packages analyze these log files. If your web server can't write compatible log files, you have a problem. If the code you are writing can't tell it's being run or that all its parts aren't being loaded, you have a problem. Don't want to go with log files? Fine, have each of your page scripts dump a row into a database table. This sorta reaches back to a comment I had about web security - why is "analytics" a non-solved problem on your server such that you need Google (et al.) to do the job for you?

Then there's these web stacks/frameworks that think they have to re-invent the web server. But that's another peeve for another thread.
talk to at least 2-3 accountants/CPA before you do anything. Good CPAs will always give you a free 20 min. consultant which should give you an idea of who to go with. Incorporating is not just about paperwork. It is about knowing the tricks of the business which any good CPA will know. I can recommend you talking to Allan at http://www.ratafia.com. I just fired my previous accountant and talked to him. To be fair, I have not started using his service yet but the things he discused on phone, made sense and made me realize how bad my first accountant was.
