You still have to feed the fish, so it's not really closed. But it is reasonably self-contained in combination with using vegetable waste to breed fly larvae which go on to feed the fish.

The difficult thing about aquaponics is the cyclomatic complexity (to use a software term). Basically everything feeds into everything else. At first you might think that the system is in balance, but in fact it rarely is. Plants and fish will be added and removed regularly, each agent having different nutritional needs at different stages in their lifecycle. Disease or infestation of plants or animals can be difficult to deal with, as any pesticide or herbicide will cycle through the complete system. There simply aren't any cheap off-the-shelf sensors to monitor things you care about, so you need to do regular physical checks with chemical kits.

Aquaponics is a fun, but very hard, problem to solve correctly. You can learn a lot from it, and it is a great system for people who like to learn a bit about everything.
I think it was a good post overall, but what got to me was his lack of doing anything about his issues.

When it comes to a machine that's roll-able without persistent local storage, he merely wishes for it to be a reality? I can understand if, through working with Google, the only research in that area is tied to the Chromebook, but still. He certainly has the capability to cause influence (First link on hn), but he's not getting into the core of the problem. I love this guy just as much as the rest of the community, but I find it puzzling steps aren't already being taken to make this next dream of his a reality. I also agree that cloud is not the answer for everything, so it would be enlightening for a new tablet-esque roll able device to be made that swims against the general Mac-inspired cloud tablet trend. But if Rob Pike isn't going to make it a reality, I doubt someone else will release it in his vision or to his liking. Perhaps he has a few ideas or tricks to make things "just work". And that's what I'd look forward to.
You are not your customers!

If is irrelevant what you would pay or how much value you would get from the service. If a good tour helps to retain just one subscription customer a month, that easily justifies x10 the $3 price.

I've never gotten anything close to 10h battery life out of my Nexus 7.

And I left out the cameras. The iPad Mini has (it appears) an actually good camera, whereas the Kindle Fire has none and the Nexus 7 (I think) only has a (poor) front camera -- never figured out how to use it if it's there.

Concatenating JS doesn't make sense when you are site like Apple.

They have a lot of mini sites that are quite different from each other e.g. Store, iPad, Home Page, Support, Developer that you may access directly and which may have 90% of JS in common. So they trade off first load for subsequent visits.
But Nguyen understands the arithmetic of Silicon Valley, and anyway he isn't one to reflect. "I never get emotional," says Nguyen, who hasn't spoken to his parents in six years. "I can have the biggest argument with someone, and five minutes later, I won't even remember that it happened." He's not even particularly attached to his name. In third grade, he had a crush on a classmate whose mother asked him his name. "I go, 'Vu.' She goes, 'Bill,' and I go, 'Aha!' And all my friends have called me Bill since then," recalls Nguyen. "My whole point was, I don't care what people call me. It's like, whatever's easier for people, I'm totally cool with it." He adds, "There is no Vietnamese person in the history of the world born with the name Bill. It's a total facade."

In the long run, I know this type of battle is crucial (past experience has shown that even just a few dozen hours of such grappling can lay the foundation for multiple publications).

My two cents: next time you're going to talk about scaling, learn about scaling, hire somebody who knows about scaling, and don't write yet another tool that attempts to make mysql into a professional solution: it cannot work.
I priced my side project at $5/month, because it was the lowest amount of money that made it worth doing the work.

I did A/B testing before I started charging, and there was no difference between charging $12/year, $3/month, $4/month, and $5/month. Which is crazy, but it reached statistical significance according to optimizely. And fewer customers for the same money sounded good to me.

Kim is massive attention seeker. He wants to be a hero and lots of people think he is some kind of rogue warrior going against the man.

The truth is that he is going to milk this to the very last cent for all of his product launches. You saw his house and his lifestyle, do you think the Pirate Bay guys live like that? Even before being released, he was saying the media companies are afraid of his new site MegaBox. Ridiculous... .
He has a long history of criminal activities of all kinds, just look at his wiki page.

The 9p protocol addresses a lot of the network activity described in the article, but I'm not sure what Rob Pike could do to make the hardware he describes a reality. All the examples you gave were software.

And all of the above are B2B products, whereas the OP described B2C products.

That's a very important point to make: There's a comfort zone of about $5 a month that the typical consumer will pay for SaaS software. There really is no cap for businesses, as it's much easier to gauge the ROI of software that eliminates a position vs. software that tracks your runs.

You can use acme with a MacBook. First of all Cmd-x, Cmd-c and Cmd-v works. Second, Cmd and Option with the mousepad gives you clicks on buttons 2 and 3.

Still I prefer to have a mouse when I am working on larger texts because it is so much easier to do text rearrangement with a mouse.

A correctly set up acme on a mac is surprisingly effective.
I can't speak for every country, but as I work for a French telecom, I happen to know the figures for this on our own network.

Firstly, the vast majority (around 80%) of browsing on mobile devices is going through wifi. It turns out that at least in France, most people that use mobile devices seem to use those devices in areas where they have wifi available (at home, or in the office) most of the time. This of course means that as soon as you increase landline data speeds, you also increase mobile data speeds, because most mobile usage is routed through landlines.

Secondly, even when clients are out and about, they often have 3G coverage which is not too far off wifi speeds (a typical 3G connection has about a third of the bandwidth of a typical landline/wifi connection). OK, it's a third of the speed, but it's the same order of magnitude, and it only applies about 20% of the time.

What this means is that a mobile user is getting data at (100 * 0.8) + (33 * 0.2) = 86% bandwidth of a landline connection. This means that a 16% increase in landline bandwidth would be enough to balance out everyone moving to mobile devices. Landline bandwidth has of course improved a lot more than 16% in the last few years, and not everyone has moved to exclusively mobile device web-browsing. So yes, I think it's fair to say that the average bandwidth of web users has gone up, at least in France.
Totally agree. It inspired me to build http://strfti.me, and eventually the stamp gem.

There is an important difference though. You are sharing your data, but you are not sharing your programs and their current setup. That is, if you forget to save your file, it won't be on Dropbox. Plan9 is way more persistent here, as it has a lot of tools which can be brought back to the state you left them in on one machine.

It is awfully nice to have a persistent environment. Dropbox is definitely partway towards that goal, but it doesn't hammer in the nail fully.

What's unseparated about it? Maintenance doesn't have to be performed on the rendered final product. Template systems and processing pipelines are pretty common for letting devs keep code structured in useful ways while still allowing for optimal end results.
Indeed. The libertarian in me rejoices at the 'one man against the world' dynamic of his story.
You answered most of the question I came here to ask. How about chording though? I'm under the impression that there are actions that are triggered by all three mouse buttons simultaneously.

I'm hoping to give acme a serious try (I have it installed), but I need to be sure I won't have to start using a three button mouse rather than whatever is provided by my system.
Thank you, updated the article to reflect that
For me there are definitely days when I do a lot and find myself wondering why I was unproductive at the end of the day. Generally it happens when I do things that aren't directly programming. I will find myself feeling blue at the end of the day because I haven't accomplished any useful programming. Then I stop and think, and realized I spent hours e-mailing customers and potential customers, and all afternoon working on my taxes. Not a bad day's work, but because I'm biased to think of programming as my real work, it feels like I haven't accomplished anything.

Of course, there are also days when it feels like I haven't accomplished anything because I haven't actually accomplished anything.

Co-create photo albums

Totally agree. We have about 500 devs on enterprise github (which is totally different than github:fi) and it is terrible. There have been so many issues including constant service failures that require reboot, missing / disabled features, poor ui choices that we are still cleaning up, the list goes on.

I still can't even limit access to it using an ldap group. If someone works for the company, then they can access it. Totally unacceptable for a product that licenses based on numbers of seats.
the worst thing about this whole megaupload fubar is that Mr Schmitz gets airtime again. I had hoped that he would have disappeared for good. He was an annoying fake back when he only operated in Germany and didn't get any better over the years.

Polish.

You can make a turd look like a professional web-site with enough polish. But even if you do that it is still a turd.

People will come to your site if it has great content even if it doesn't look "professional." Polish just makes them more likely to stay but not really more likely to return (content does that).

Polish is all about getting both the "big" things right but also about getting the little tiny details right too. If you spend hours considering if your site should have rounded corners on the CSS boxes then you're doing it right...

Nothing AFAIK. The kernel part has already been open source in the Raspberry Pi kernel fork: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-3.2.27/drivers...

The userland part is the implementation of hardware accelerated OpenGL ES 2 and OpenMAX (video acceleration), at least.
Object-Oriented Programming Sucks
No. I should have, but at the time I wasn't getting very much traffic so it was hard to test many options and achieve significance. I was honestly surprised people would pay more than $12/year, and just counted my blessings.
I'm not GP, but I also though "about-face" was an error.

I'm impressed as well, but there are errors like:
"e-bokgiganten" (the e-book giant), "type IT consultant Linn.." (wrote the IT consultant..) and I don't think "Spread Monday blog post" is correct either? (On Monday the blog-post about .. spread)
etc..

Still impressive though :)

Eyes-Open Self-Hypnosis to Summon the Warrior within and Conquer Life's Problems
I submitted this yesterday but it didn't get much traction, so I thought I'd take one more kick at the can.

The website is Summon the Warrior: http://summonthewarrior.com/

Any insights and opinions on the concept or website are appreciated.
Yes. This part in the details section:

"Simultaneous Device Usage: Up to 4 simultaneous devices, per publisher limits"

means that it has DRM.
AFAIK everything that runs on the ARM is now open source. The firmware of the GPU itself could still be a blob.
That's very cool, I hope NVidia follows suit wishful thinking.

What mixed message? The article seems to be agreeing with the ad. Regarding that not all R&D being subsidized or auto-entrepreneur status being used by low turnover businesses, isn't that how it should be?
No, userland means that it runs in user space, as opposed to within the kernel. Firmware is another matter of course.
> If you spend hours considering if your site should have rounded corners on the CSS boxes then you're doing it right...

Only if you've previously spent hours making sure the content is the best it can be.
Spot on. I believe in the long run smartphones are going to replace a huge part of what are now separate devices or utilities. Yet the pc might be the only prevailing device because some functionalities cannot be emulated on a smartphone.

I clicked the link seeing the high point count and thinking I might find some gems of productivity I could pull into my own daily routine, but instead I found some discussion of clouds and terminals and other things that are philosophically interesting but tangibly well argued and discussed ad nauseam.

Of course, the article is tiny and talks abstractly about something that everyone has an opinion on, so of course it has up lots of votes.

I am disappoint.
Yes, but all our kernel code was already open. Everything that runs on the ARM is now FOSS.
Not a friend but an ally.
I might get blasted for this but I always found Github a little on the pricey side from a personal perspective.

I mean I love how they treat the OSS community and I like the product they ship, but $12/month for what is essentially a worse product than what DropBox gives you for free.
I think you will have an easier time learning the environment if you use a 3-button mouse, but it's not a requirement. I spend some entire days in acme on a MacBook Air, and the keyboard modifiers and %-C, %-V, %-X keyboard shortcuts on the Mac work well for me.
