this. I noticed a significant battery life increase after the first few days. The reason? I wasn't playing with it all the time and I had everything tweaked the way I want. A lot of apps by default assume you want everything on and always connected, which causes the battery life to be shorter.
"And if people really had to pay $4 for the History Channel for just 30 minutes of Storage Wars a month(is that the right channel?), they would probably skip it.
There is also the loss of option value. (I can flip to MTV if my friends call me up and tell me there's something I need to watch, even though I really did program both my TV and DVR to remove MTV from its listings.)"

These are your opinions, though, not a persuasive argument for a person who will never regret not having the option to pay for television they will never watch.
It would be great if someone (esp. the generator's authors or users) could comment on how this is different than the other Pythyon static site generators, such as Pelican. Based on the docs, it appears that it's built with easy deployment to S3 in mind.

There is mtpfs, which mounts the storage over MTP using FUSE, but it's finicky. Since I have problems in Windows as well, I've been using FTP over Wi-Fi as much as possible, but it's quite slow compared to wired file transfer. So for large files, I'm still stuck hoping that it'll somehow work.

- Ribbon (https://www.ribbon.co) is hiring. Full time in San Francisco. Front-end Developers, Designers, Rails Devs.

- Looking to add to our team of five. Ribbon is building a frictionless payments and ecommerce platform that does the transaction wherever the buyer is. Imagine purchasing an item without leaving Facebook, or buying directly from within the Twitter stream, or through email. That's what we're building for consumers, businesses and developers in an elegant way with a huge focus on design. Looking for someone excited at the stage we're at - dealing with first customers, ramping up traction, figuring out new product direction and features - and also excited about the challenges we'll face, like making payments simplified for consumers and dealing with huge technical issues with fraud and building payments infrastructure.

We went through AngelPad in the fall and raised a big seed round from great investors. Awesome office in San Francisco, penthouse floor with views of twin peaks and the ballpark in soma.

- Some recent press coverage for more details:

It's amazing that considering Ruby's philosphy we didn't have named arguments until now. I think this was a case where the idiom of using hashes as named arguments working well enough that the core team didn't feel the need to address it earlier, still proper keyword arguments are going to be great.

I read this, and then wondered why it managed to get on the front page on HN. Just because it mentions perl and C++?
Honestly, I'd repurpose it for use in coastal disaster relief. The reactors and desalination facilities could provide emergency power and water, and if it were set up to carry helicopters instead of airplanes it could serve as a base of rescue operations.
OK, so he hates the new phone's screen, battery life and camera but likes its case. He hated the old phone's case and UI "improvements" by Samsung, but he liked its battery life. He compares these to the iPhone, which he says is better than both of them.

So basically, this article is saying he thinks the iPhone is the best. The only strange part is where he doesn't get the iPhone he craves at the end, but gets instead a model that he is unhappy with.
Ah yes, phone typos strike again. You'd think I would have learned to proof-read my posts by now...

Sure, ZNGA went down 6% yesterday, to about the same price it was on Wednesday, which is still 15% more than it was a couple weeks earlier.

Not sure about Zynga as a company, but it's easy to overreact to the market's reaction to this news.
I looked at Hyde, Cactus and Pelican, but confess I can't recall what I didn't like about the first two. Nothing seems obviously wrong with them. Maybe they looked unmaintained or not as mature as Jekyll, although Cactus has a bunch of recent commits so that doesn't seem right. With Pelican I was scared off when I saw the license (Affero GPL, which forces you to provide source if you use the code on a live site, or something like that).

Sorry this isn't a more useful comparison. I wanted to find a good-enough SSG quickly, so my search was pretty shallow.

It's worth noting that Zynga has diversified revenue streams other than the games themselves: they have a pending Draw Something TV show [1] and physical merchandise [2].

That probably won't be enough to save the company, though. It wouldn't surprise me if Zynga pivots into a Rovio.

"DTrace can be used to get a global overview of a running system, such as the amount of memory, CPU time, filesystem and network resources used by the active processes. It can also provide much more fine-grained information, such as a log of the arguments with which a specific function is being called, or a list of the processes accessing a specific file."

For anyone else that wasn't aware what Dtrace does.

The Olympics was saved. IBM was saved."

Box (Box.com), specifically platform: developers.box.com, box.com/platform

You can find all of our recent awesome news here: http://www.crunchbase.com/company/box

Hiring for two positions:

- Platform Engineer

You'll be building and designing APIs on the Box platform from front to back. Box is an enterprise software company, but we build and design our APIs to be on par with the best consumer APIs out there e.g. Twilio, Stripe, etc (you can see our documentation here: developers.box.com/docs). All experience levels are welcome to apply.

- Associate Product Manager

Ideal for someone looking to get into product management that may not have experience as a PM already. You'll work with all areas of the company (engineering, sales, marketing, business development, other PMs) to determine what direction to take the Box platform in and figure out what the necessary steps are to get to that direction from a product perspective. As you'll be working with APIs, a strong technical background is necessary (i.e. you have enough technical clout to be an engineer)

If you are interested in either or both, please contact me directly: sean@box.com

CircleCI: designers, frontend, backendend engineers.

At CircleCI (https://circleci.com), we're building Heroku for Continuous Integration. We're taking a boring concept and making it revolutionary.

We have traction and revenue and funding. Our customers love us, because we move quickly and provide amazing support. All employees talk to customers and are on support rotation.

We're written in Clojure. We eat our own dogfood, DevOps, A/B test, do Continuous Deployment and Customer Development.

The frontend is a fat javascript client, using HamlCoffee, Less and Knockout.

Backend engineers should know Clojure or another 'weird' language (Haskell, Scala, Scheme, etc), and Linux Devops (C compilation model, make, packaging).

We're looking for: designers that can write HTML & CSS, Frontend Engineers and Backend Engineers.

We're still a small team, so you'll have a large impact on company culture, direction, and product. We're highly influenced by Valve's Employee handbook, and flat cultures like those of Stripe and GitHub.

Contact us at jobs@circleci.com. Include samples of awesome stuff you've done.

San Francisco | Fullstack Engineer, Backend Engineer and Frontend Developer | Perfect Audience

What We Do: We've built the world's first and easiest Facebook ad retargeting solution, and we have much more ambitious plans. We believe advertising is a critical part of the internet economy, and want to help small business and publishers succeed with solutions that just work.

Who We Are: We're a team of four, split between some of us doing the selling and the rest of us doing the building. We want to bring in more designers and developers to help us keep building new features as fast as we can. Ideally these folks will be ready to dive into anything, pitching in when fires come up. But, they will also own some piece of the product where we need expertise.

Traction: We are increasing our revenue by 25% every week and it's going to do nothing but accelerate with some big clients we have lined up in the coming months.

What we look for in teammates:
Smart, really smart
Eager to join a growing startup
Has a “maker” attitude
Good at communicating (ready to discuss features, bugs, architecture, etc.)
Language never trumps experience - but if you know Rails, Mongo and Javascript things will go faster
Appreciation for puns and movie quotes
Experience in advertising is a HUGE plus

Backend Engineer
About the Position: We're looking for someone to be the primary backend person at Perfect Audience. This person will guide us as we think about restructuring our data storage and help us prepare for more data influx and more demanding data analysis and visualization.
What we are looking for:
Solid understanding of database paradigms and architecture
Ability to look at a series of customer or team needs and help us pull together the right technology, queries and optimizations
Ability to cover DBA or Sys Admin needs is awesome

Full Stack Engineer
About the Position: We're a team of full-stack engineers who enjoy database design, application logic, and standards-based frontends. We are always looking for more smart generalists to come join us. This is a chance to work on every facet of a successful web app and grow your engineering skillset.
What we are looking for:
Solid software development foundation
Ability to architect, develop, and test key infrastructure
Understanding of performance and design tradeoffs, without compromising quality
Experience scaling up webapps and services for rapid growth is a plus

Front End Designer / Developer
About the position: We regularly get complimented on our design and interface, but we don't want it to just be better than the enterprise tools - we want it to be delightful. We want a skilled individual to come in and own the design and user experience.
What we are looking for:
Someone as comfortable editing masks in Photoshop as tweaking CSS in a text editor
Innate understanding of, and instinct for, design and user experience
Experience seeking input from end users
Ability to carry design from ideation and wireframes all the way through solid HTML, CSS and Javascript
Experience with enterprise or B2B tools is a plus

I wasn't trying to say anything contrary to this.
It would be nice if you eliminated a few lines -

"You suddenly realise that you need to find a web hosting service to host your super cool site..."

"Obviously you need a pro plan.. not just an amateur(<-sp check!) free one..."

"You start Googling for some services..."

Perhaps you could cut some out like so:

"You realise that you need a pro web hosting service to host your super cool site..."

Also, consider spacing the lines out more. Compare the screen that starts "You are really in a hurry to choose one..." vs the screen that starts "But then..."
Etsy - Remote - Hadoop

I'm looking to expand the team that makes Etsy's big data infrastructure awesome, reliable, and easy to use, supporting search, personalization, analytics, and many other product teams throughout Etsy. We work primarily in Scala and Ruby on top of Hadoop and Cascading. We have a strong culture of investing in developer tools and open sourcing them when they're ready: check out https://github.com/etsy for examples of what we're contributing to. It doesn't matter where you live, though being in the same time zone as the continental US would be an asset. Ping me at avi@etsy.com if you're interested.
Glad I didn't wait and sprang for the Note II. Fantastic display and most importantly, for me, the battery life is incredible. This week I went over 40 hours on a single charge. That includes 4G use, as well as streaming a full length show on Netflix on maximum brightness. To top it off, when the battery stops holding a charge, I can simply pull it out and replace it with a new one for a few bucks.
I use "Folder Sync". It runs on the phone, can be configured to start when on charger and on home wifi. will keep your phone synced with designated network shares.

Canada has already solved most of the typical nuclear problems with the CANDU design and ecosystem.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fe/CANDU_fue...

CANDU runs on natural uranium so the waste products are actually less radioactive than what we take out of the earth, as well CANDU can burn nuclear waste from light water reactors alleviating the need for Yucca mountain.

Lets look at it's meltdown profile, CANDU reactors need heavy water to function, if you replace the heavy water with light water fission stops, no meltdown. Also before the reactor would ever get to that point the fuel bundles deform, halting meltdown.

CANDU reactors are designed to put less radioactive material back into the earth than came out of it, and when problems occur in a CANDU design it fails safe.
