just had a quick look at it but i've had the best experience adding a paid option to it as soon as it works enough to support this. start with low prices, but get somebody to actually pay for it.

it might take weeks to get a payment, you can route up paypal for it, make it a yearly payment one off fee or something. keep it low.

as soon as you have someone paying for it, your speed will greatly increase, you'll be working and focusing more on working around that person to make their experience top notch. you'll most likely receive an e-mail from that person soon. it's not your regular type of customer. this person is special, he/her will start e-mailing you with ideas. work with them, see what you can do to make it happen.

the rest will be history. if you reach this point, it'll go fast.

edit:
and just to add, in my last project, i've had to refund over 25 customers (my decision, didn't ask for it), since the service was down for a few days, some things went undetected, stuff like that. it helps making sure you work smarter and more aware moving forward.
Judge blocks California’s new ban on anonymity for sex offenders
Because there are other reasons to be against same-sex marriage laws. I am an advocate of a general marriage law, allowing two consenting adults to marry whatever their gender, race, age, and so on. However, I don't think it is a good idea to have two different laws for the same thing, marriage, as it makes the law-system more messy, difficult to maintain, opening up all possibilities of treatment differences, and so on. I prefer to have the law system as simple and clear as possible and amending laws or adding laws to cover all kinds of exceptions is detrimental to that.
Thanks! Glad you like it. Yeah, I've got some features I would like to add but am holding back b/c they would result in increased operating costs. I'll need to make a decision in the next 6 months or so.
Orbit: Visual Code Editor for BonsaiJS
1. Not all side projects are posted as Show HN. For example, I know some cool hardware hacks that never get posted.

2. Not all side projects are yet developed. Some may never be ready for a Show HN but I want to know about them.

3. I find it informative to talk to developers when they are still developing it. This is the time they talk about problems and solutions and don't make a marketing pitch.

4. Main reason : I want to know what problems people are currently working on. It helps me in brainstorming and getting ideas for my own side projects.

It's a dice rolling app called 'Time to Die', I did it in about 2 months of evenings. I had never programmed in Java before.

I started making a website:
http://www.talesfromthemoshpit.com/ What I've done there isn't really functional yet. It's taken about a month of evenings. I had never used HTML, CSS, PHP, SQL or JavaScript before.

I kind of lost interest in my website when my Raspberry Pi arrived, and since I have been working on a home media centre. It's going quite well so far, I'm doing it in Perl, which seems to be quite a fun language.

You appear to be have come across a cultural conflict since you are approaching this as if it were a product when in actuality it is an OSS project. There is no motivation or desire on the part of the developers to sell anything to you, hence the lack of marketing. Marketing is generally a non-term in this culture. Good ideas spread through word of mouth here. Outside of the world of business, the responsibility for learning about new things is placed squarely on the side of the end user (this includes end users promoting projects to each other), not the developers.

But to answer your question, this project is an incredible engineering feat. E17 is built on top of a set of libraries which provide lightening fast rendering even on the CPU. The previous incarnation of Enlightenment, E16, was considered to be one of the most advanced window managers for it's time due to the rich eye candy it provided (and this was back in the days of KDE 1 when everything else looked grey and boring). E17 has been in development for a very long time much to the dismay of many a geek. It is the Duke Nukem Forever of window managers. It's not as impressive in this era of compositing window managers (though it can do that too), but if you ever find yourself wanting to use a slick WM on a Pentium 2 then this will run as smooth as silk.

I was just talking about the apparent problem of not having a stable theme API.

The developers never promised to provide a stable theme API, even selecting themes as a user is basically only possible via "gnome-tweak-tool", so this had "alpha code" written all over it from the beginning.

E.g., the attitude of the dev in response to reasonable argument from his users in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485846 is pretty much "I'm not changing it, just because". That would make me rant and foam at the mouth because a reasoned approach patently failed in this case.

Even this case isn't as clear-cut as you make it out to be, especially if you look at comment #14.
I don't understand this reasoning. Sure, not everyone is a design genius. But, if you're not (and how do you know?), what are you supposed to do?

It just seem like you're arguing that everyone (except Jobs) should not try to have any control over the project they're working on at all, but just implement whatever any user requests.

However, that is not gonna produce anything useful, nor will it help you when what different users want conflict, and its most definitely not a good way to allocate the sparse resources there is.
Good point. So it turns out that MM is supposed to mean "thousand thousand" in the world of finance, but it is indeed not a correct roman numeral. Old school.

I was thinking, wow, at university I had classes from 8am to about 4pm 4 days a week (Wednesday afternoons were "free")

Evenings were spent cracking the books and in the computer lab when I needed access to resources I couldn't get over the network.

Still managed to work part time.

Tasks can expand to fill the allotted time, that's true. But, conversely, if you don't have enough time to contemplate and to fail, you often don't chose the best route. You do what's familiar rather than what's correct.

Yes - there are a good number of sensor sets out there and (like this example) quite a few systemic approaches that parley your data through a third party app - but neither approach does it for me at this stage - although something like that may evolve.

I want my set of interconnected things to self organise a data set about the current state [I am not explaining this well]. To explore such a approach then I will need to write software that explores how multiple data items can construct a body of knowledge (is the wrong word but it will do for now) about the state of the whole. Can't do that through someone else's web app.
Just tried this out and all I can say is WOW. Extremely fast, responsive and more eye candy than any other terminal emulator I've seen. Could this be the year of the E17 desktop?

You should do it, it really shows you how far you've come when you revisit a project from your past, even only 6 months earlier, you can see how you have improved.
Utterly backwards. "We need a login page" is exactly agile; you should be taking more ownership of the product rather than being content to be a dumb code monkey following an explicit spec. Just give me high-level requirements and access to a customer to ask questions.
i think this is a really good idea!!! the "reminder" could also be a question which you have to answer correctly. if you do, you won't be prompted for that specific item again for some time. if you answer incorrectly, the question will appear again soon after.
My side project is http://www.imobee.com.br, it's a real estate search engine for Brazil...

We are trying to build something close to Trulia because our real estate sites suck bad.

We are still on alpha and only the main interface is working, but we will add a lot of statistics and analysis to it so it can become useful.

I want to work on something where people can leave comments/reviews about rented property they have lived in. Whenever I move to a new place I always find myself wanting to ask the last person why they left, so I can be aware beforehand if the shower leaks, or the rooms are damp or the landlord is useless. I've found sites that have reviews of landlords or letting agents, but not of the actual properties themselves.

I'd love to know if anyone else thinks this is feasible/useful.

Well, you can tell if your users start complaining--Gnome 3--or your products aren't successful.

Users of Gnome 3 are being very vocal with genuine (and some not-so-genuine) complaints about how the design process is going and what the final product is like. Since the Gnome guys are now in the cult of design dictatorship, they are always right no matter what--even at the expense of their own users--and their users are wrong to complain. The result will be an ultimately failed product. (I would bet money that at some point in the next 2-5 years Ubuntu will fork significant parts, if not the entirety, of Gnome--and when the 500lb gorilla picks up his toys and leaves, the game's over.)

Yes, a product must have some kind of vision, and at the end of the day someone's got to implement it, regardless of their talent. But humble designers recognize complaints and the needs of their users. Design dictators ignore them, because the dictators are by definition always right. That's a bad attitude to have, because most designers aren't perfect--but the human ego loves having control and loves being right. When people are told that success means being opinionated, it's a very easy thing to agree with, because everyone thinks their own opinions are the best.

People may also want to check out the official response from AMD over at the Register.

Useful Yes. Feasible? Depends.
This is the really bizarre thing. In the name of consistency, people build GNOME apps, KDE apps, Ubuntu apps to comply with the relevant design and human interface guidelines. Then we go and use Firefox and Libreoffice, which don't exactly fit into any of the desktops.

Consistency is nice, but I'll take good inconsistent software over mediocre consistent applications. Only a couple of key apps, like file managers, really seem worth linking with the desktop.
I don't think the criticism is solely because features are missing; it's the fact that existing features are removed and the process by which those changes are communicated ahead of time (seemingly, they're not).
While the placement may be conventional, it's actually quite easy to miss the fact that there's some text in all that orange. At first it looks like it's simply another part of the header. Certainly, I didn't notice it until I went back to look for it.

I've been working on http://www.hupland.com for almost a year. The idea is to help you to improve your Heads Up NL skill by playing, studying your games, and monitoring your ELO rating. I had this problem myself few years back when I was a graduate student struggling with financial issues. I was trying to earn some money on online poker sites but I couldn't afford learning by losing first. I'm pretty close to the MVP-version launch (only 1 feature: play with friend).

One thing I've learnt was that it is really easy to get distracted due to all context switches and conflict responsibilities. So I try my best to touch the code every day (even 1 line CSS change is good enough).

Sure, I think most people aren't that unhappy about TV ads. I very possibly get a better deal from ITV at £0/year plus ads than £145/year to the BBC with no ads. $100/month and ads seemed pretty expensive to me, that's all - but really my point was just that regardless of what the parent poster pays for TV and still gets ads, that doesn't justify similar behaviour in a completely different industry.
Upon what would it depend do you think? From a technical standpoint I wouldn't expect it to need a huge amount of engineering, as I wouldn't expect a huge amount of concurrent users. I have been vaguely concerned about the legal aspect; would leaving a negative review be seen as slander/libel? I'm sure there must be some legal protection for this based upon the hundreds of product review websites.

So two things I would like to point out.

1. Gnome is at 3.6 they have many things that are changing rapidly. I don't expect them to limit the things they can do to make the DE _better_ just so that they have a stable API for themes.

2. I actually find myself liking gnome3 and gnome shell better then Xfce ( my fallback for the early days of gnome3 ).

The workflow they introduced hurt at first because it was different and scary, but its so natural now I find myself missing it when I work in Xfce or KDE. I know there are some developers who value above all else the freedom and ideals espoused by the FOSS movement and want a system stack that is true to those principles above all others. I am actually enjoying a well _designed_ and coherent desktop experience. Also I have the source code if something really is bothering me I can change it, but I am finding after 15+ years of tweaking config files to get everything to work the way I wanted it to I am now content to just have something that works out of the box even if I have to acclimate myself to some of its nuances. It turns out most of the time what I thought was a problem actually works better for me once I get used to it.
extremely well done
This was actually a lot of fun for a few minutes. I felt a little nostalgia for BBS games.

I think it could do with mnemonics for the more tedious commands to type (eg. le/lw/ls/ln for look east etc. and fe/fw/fs/fn (fire) me/mw/ms/mn etc. etc.). I think a 'run' command that moves you away from the last gunshot (or in a random direction) would also be a welcome addition... either that or make players harder to kill. Otherwise, it was fun walking around a level mostly on memory. The exit directions became very handy.
(really) nice site + curation, but what's the target audience? it seems like it's going to be too high priced / limited numbers for mass market sales? do you display prices to registered users? if not, how do you expect to filter large amounts of queries (i'm confused about the balance between wide audience and price / quality)? is the best way to see this as a portal to established (commercial) galleries (with a few "big" exhibits thrown in to keep it looking good)? if so, how do you plan to attract return visitors?

i know i asked similar questions here before, so apologies if this is to the same team. also, from that discussion, are you worried about people's reluctance to buy before seeing "for real"? maybe location filtering would be useful?

(finally, maybe just me, but i was (am?) confused by your use of "collection" and whether that meant creating on-line "favourites" or actually owning a piece of art).

oh, and this seems to be aimed at the us market, but op is italian
