That's similar to what I tried to do, or rather what I thought I was doing for awhile. I'd consider HN a place for "early drafts" of blog posts, idea being that I'd stumble upon something thought-provoking here, be inspired to make a novel observation, and then use that as the seed for a full blog post.

In practice, I just kept writing more and more of these "early drafts" and didn't write any blog articles for nearly a year.
Hmm, this is interesting. Do you know how long ago this service became available? My company launched a responsive form app last week, so I'm not sure which of us was first. http://www.coffeecup.com/web-form-builder/

Either way, it's great to see more elements of web design going responsive — not just site layouts! I was looking at responsive jQuery sliders earlier as well.
It would be prohibitively expensive. Several megabytes of cache already take up about half of the CPU die size.

Think about how much larger a CPU would have to be to include an entire gigabyte of cache, much less multiple gigabytes.
Having to paste ten boiler-plate arguments to a group of functions...

To prepare for a presentation at Ignite Phoenix (which has its own particular set of rules) I used Screenflow to record myself speaking over the automated slide changes.

I wrote out my talk first, as an essay. I then read it and adjusted it based on how well it matched the automated slide changes and how easy/natural it was for me to say it.

I ended up with a video I could play over and over, listen to, and then recite from memory. I also printed my slides on index cards, along with some notes on what was supposed to be said for that slide, and had them with me since, as I it happened, when i gave my talk I needed some prompts.

I also practiced a lot. I hate it, but it helps, so there you go.

Ignite talks are a different sort of animal, where timing is very important (since you have no control over the slide change speed). But I found this approach of use for more casual presentations; it's still a good idea to have a good idea of how much time you will take and how well it all flows.

What I found was that you can start with something that would take 30 minutes to read to a crowd, edit out the cruft, the joke slides, and the amusing-but-unimportant factoids, and whittle you talk down to something punchy and concise.

Most talks are too long. Modulo topic and subject complexity I'd say they should be no more than 20 minutes.

Even if you're not doing an Ignite talk, plan as if you were and be mindful about how and why you make it longer. Don't give people an excuse to be checking Twitter or HN while you're speaking.

I would like some advice on how I can be a really great programmer.

Start asking questions to those better than you and listen. Always listen. Write code. Clone repos and learn how something someone else wrote works. Above all, never stop learning. Stay hungry. Programming is not the destination, but the vessel to what you want to accomplish. Also, listen to your parents, take care of your eyesight, and above all, don't listen to those who call you names because you spend a lot of time in the computer. :)

Good luck.
Most publishers that have terrible apps also have terrible sites. Apps that get very little usage today are hardly going to get better if users don't start using them. Building an easier onramp for apps is going to increase app usage and cause publishers to build better apps.
It's just a fanciful name for their content marketplace. The name making sense is less important than building the association between what the business does and the symbol that is the word.

Sometimes a fanciful name is better than a logical name because it decreases the risk of ambiguity among consumers (and so you don't end up in legal battles over very generic sounding names as can be seen with both Apple and Amazon using App Store). It also means their scope isn't limited by their name and they can move into new markets.

Apple, Amazon, Google, and many others all have company names that make no sense and I vastly prefer that to the more accurate names Consumer Electronics or Search Corporation.

Desktop Apps: The Final Frontier for HTML5
Ask HN: Are there *any* unbiased SSL review sites?
I need to buy a wildcard SSL certificate. I took a look at some of the rating sites like sslreview.com, sslshopper.com, bestsslcertificate.com, all of which appear to be owned by an SSL issuer -- in other words, totally biased and filled with fake reviews. What's a developer to do?
It was an offer letter, not an application; and was sent to me on a Friday, and needed to be returned the same day (and I didn't have access to a printer).
I do it with iMovie. Moreover, sometimes I rehearse some parts more times. Even more, you can upload the video and ask your friend to watch it.

Probably one of the easiest advice to implement which improves quality a lot.

Disclaimer: I was organizer of event series where ~12 speakers give 5 minute talks.

Absolutely, and all the major publishers analyse piracy numbers in extreme detail.

But I still question the assumption that they play games because they've been pirated. Pirated games have retention rates just like legitimate copies.
I suspected but it's getting really hard to weed them out lately.
U waterloo:Expect my graduate school application in a few weeks time
I recently refinanced my house, and realized that there was a potential for a LOT of this sort of thing. So I paid the app store a few dollars for a PDF modification program, and just put a shortcut to a scanned signature of mine, and added that in the right places. Requested the documents as email instead of fax, and emailed them back. Totally acceptable and saved a bunch of time (in waiting for the printer and scanner) and money (in paper and ink).
1) The environmental burden is simply offshored from the West to China along with offshore manufacturing. The environmental impacts are also offshored since they suffer the majority of them. It's ludicrous for someone enjoying the fruit of globalization along with clean air and clean water to blame China for destroying the environment. No, you are the one destroying it since you are part of the globalization. You are the one allowing the multinationals to skew local environment laws by offshoring, in the guise of capitalism. You are the enabler of the environment problems.

2) What is China's absolutely atrocious record against the rest of the world?

3) This one is on the spot.
>I'd say the big plus is that you can safely target only the newer releases without a problem, because power users just rush out and buy the newest iPhone when it comes out.

Even more than that, the adoption rate for users on existing devices is just incredible.

So new devices with the newest version of the OS sell like hotcakes, existing users upgrade like crazy, and Apple pushes new version quite far backwards across those existing devices to boot.
The problem: Get more people to start using bikes worldwide.

The solution: Make cities more bike friendly.

Its going to come down to urban planning, incentives, and community programs. Cheaper more affordable bikes are certainly a component of increasing adoption, but if you really want to move the needle we need the developed and developing world to look a bit more like the Netherlands, and not Texas.

How is this a 'good deal' for Netflix and it's subscribers?

We've got this great feature coming up, IN THREE YEARS!.

yay?
This may be great news for Netflix and I really do hope some of the Disney stuff makes it over the pond to the UK.

One thing i've noticed though (especially in the UK) is that it's becoming a three way licensing battle. I think eventually we'll have each major VOD provider (Sky, LoveFilm and Netflix) have exclusive licensing arrangements with 1/3rd of the content providers each so to enjoy a full range of content you'd need subscriptions to all three. I wish they'd compete on other factors other than exclusive licensing arrangements.
Google I/O 2013
On HN I waste time trying to correct people who will never in a million years be swayed by a random internet comment.

Have you not seen the xkcd cartoon "Duty Calls" before?

http://xkcd.com/386/

Painful experience after being regularly online since 1992 (!) has taught me that there is always someone wrong on the Internet. Sometimes there is even someone (but I am not referring to this thread, not at all) who has a top comment on a widely viewed thread on HN who is nonetheless wrong. I try not to worry about that too much. Surely in the "old days" before there was instantaneous international written communication available to the masses things were even worse. I have learned from quite a few of your posts (including this one to which I reply) and I have learned from a lot of people here on HN. I try not to invest too much worry or self-esteem into trying single-handedly to correct all the mistaken ideas in the world.

That deal also includes first-run rights to direct-to-video releases, which will begin appearing on Netflix in 2013. What's more, the two companies have also announced a separate multi-year agreement that will see popular Disney catalog titles like Dumbo and Alice in Wonderland be made available on Netflix beginning today.

How come DuckDuckGo is so famous, and nobody knows about StartPage? https://startpage.com

Check out all the features it has, it's way superior if you ask me.
You can do both, and in between there is a third way of specifying different variables in variables.less to get e.g. a different font, or link color without much hacking involved. It really depends on how much you intend to deviate from the standard look.

Over time, as more people re-use Bootstrap, it seems to be getting more customisable with less hardcoded assumptions so more is possible just via variables.

Bootswatch has some examples of how to make things look quite different while not diverging too much from Bootstrap code so that you can pull in upstream changes with relative ease.

LESS is pretty cool, even aside from Bootstrap, so it might be worth looking at that anyway.

Demiba - Watch music videos live: a Node.js project a friend and I built
Ah, great! Thanks for letting me know. I went ahead and sent in my application a few minutes ago :)
Thanks for seeing the value in my (somewhat avantgarde) argument.

I'd be happy with the app availability indicator as well. The native app would still remain within the confines of the browser, so that you could easily navigate away. People don't install apps today because it takes time to download them, and the browsing experience is interrupted by switching to a different app.
The main difference between the RT (10 hour life) and the Pro (4 hour life) is the CPU, isn't it?

A peak 17W vs 10W draw is a pretty big difference. And that's peak power; Haswell may be even better at idling. We might see 6 or 7 hours on the next Pro (wild guess).
The agreement is a huge deal, but I agree three years out is a long time to wait! I find the exclusive part hard to believe. In the next three years something may supersede Netflix and Disney will want to be able to switch.
I don't know many SLR photo shooters who store their RAW files in the cloud. They're too big, and you can't upload them to flickr anyways. Video is even bigger. For people creating content using images or video, cloud storage will have to wait for Google Fiber for all.
140 characters is enough for a title and a link; is it really that different from "following" the HN front page?
Is this overload feeling a side-effect or a design feature? Companies like Twitter and Facebook want you to spend more time on their websites, but is there a way to design a system that supports more healthful or effective social interaction and media consumption?
It's not even like this is a long article. It's literally a 140 word paragraph.
Yeah, I was wondering if it was MAC based. I ordered one so I'll see how badly it breaks once they actually ship them. It's too bad because they probably could do something clever like cross service 802.1x. One SSID for enrollment and the other using 802.1x for all enrolled people (perhaps using a service-wide SSID so you could "roam").

Pagers, in their niche, are better than any other technology available. Considering how often my phone battery runs dead by accident, I feel a lot more comfortable with surgeons having pagers that run for months off a single AAA battery.

I couldn't disagree more, Craigslist is where all the best deals are, most sites like Auto Trader (and my own http://www.AUsedCar.com) are mostly dealers. So yes, there are less scams, but you also get less deals...
This is an interesting upside to studio consolidation. With this deal, Netflix has access to Pixar and LucasFilm titles too.
I think there's a funny balance - or maybe it's an inflection point - where you go from being mad at Netflix over a scarce catalogue to being mad at the content providers for keeping their movies and TV shows to themselves.

I don't know whether to think "Geez, get with the times, Netflix" or the same, but for Disney.
> If you're buying a car on CL...

I disagree completely. I've bought and sold numerous cars on Craigslist and always got exactly what I expected. I take the car for a drive, take it to a mechanic I know well, then get the mechanic to run down the list of "issues" with buyer and seller present. The mechanic usually says something like "I wouldn't pay more than $x based on the issues".

99% of the time that's the price we agree on, and that's that.
The YC philosophy that it is better to include a winner than to try and weed out possible failures might be appropriate for HN as well.

Most people won't find HN interesting as an aggregator. Of those who find it interesting, few will be inclined to participate. Only a subset of those will ultimately make significant comments on a regular basis.

The leader board is a select place, but who will make it can't be accurately predicted at the widest part of the funnel.
Usually procedures and policies are put in place because of out of ordinary incidents. Haven't seen DMCA notice from HN for the longest time and it pops up now. Can we assume someone actually tried to sue HN for copyright infringement on the user-submitted content?
Yes you can, but that opens a different app and takes you away from Safari and its browsing history.
I personally have sold 2 used cars on Craigslist, each for $5-6,000 cash (blue book values). From my standpoint, it was fabulous. I paid no seller's fees, was able to schedule the test drives at my convenience, and sold both cars within days. If anything, the demand was shockingly good.

And, I sold good cars. So I knew no one was being scammed.
"Rainy" means cloudy -- same psychological effect. Seattle has 58 sunny days a year (I can't believe it) and 220 overcast days a year, the largest of any major US city.

Labavit sounded great, until I read this part:

"To ensure maximum security, passwords are hashed using the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA). SHA takes the plaintext password as its input and produces a random 512 bit string as the output. With only the SHA output, it is cryptographically impossible to determine the original input. Effectively, hashing is a repeatable one-way process."
Nope. Note the use of "auto" in the OP's message. With GCD the developer has to manually indicate where parallelism happens. There are numerous other systems for doing that.

The hard problem is making the compiler automatically figure it out, and as OP says they haven't done so usefully (yet).
Crystal Meth (variation!) Could Stave Off the Flu
IANAL, but I did just look up what looks like the current version of the relevant part of the DMCA[1]. Unless there's one of those funny legal things I don't understand going on, it appears fairly black and white that failing to provide an e-mail address for the designated agent basically nullifies the entire safe harbor provision (see (c)(2)(A)). Whether that is actually what Y Combinator are worried about we don't know, of course; I can't be the only person wondering what prompted this change on a site like HN where DMCA notices/abuse don't seem likely problems under normal circumstances. Or maybe YC's lawyers just know more about the law than I do. :-)

What are the odds that Google can pull off an orderly registration this time? Considering prior years IO registration, and the recent Nexus 4 fun, I would say about nil.
Other companies have a more comprehensive cross-platform solution already. E.g., http://www.zenprise.com/solutions/mobile-application-managem... -- not only does this let you deploy apps selectively to iOS and Android devices belonging to specific users/groups in your enterprise, it also tracks all data/files these apps touch on the phone and makes sure that data is killed whenever the apps are removed or the phone is lost/stolen. Also does the same for downloaded email local-store or downloaded email attachments.

If an enterprise is Android-only, the Google solution is OK. If you're really doing a corporate deployment, something like Zenprise is a better way to go.

Presumably the reason it isn't happening "right now" is that Disney has current contracts that don't expire until then. The good news is that Disney, a major content provider, has recognized that a streaming company, NetFlix is worth negotiating with like a cable network company, like Stars, Encore, HBO, Etc.

Progress is not quick but that is only because one has to wait for existing contracts to expire (their are usually penalties for breaking them early).
Typeform as a service will be available in Beta from January 2013 onwards. The team behind typeform have been working on the project for the last 18 months. In fact there is allot of R&D behind the project in that it's not just about making the design responsive but also the user experience, not to mention the complexity in carrying this user experience across devices.
Netflix's business model is based on a relatively fixed number of hours of streaming per account, and basing licensing fees off of that number of hours.
I don't know about UK pricing, but here in the US subscribing to Hulu Plus, Netflix, and specific shows on Amazon and iTunes (e.g. Mythbusters) is still much cheaper than a monthly cable subscription.

I was trying to distill some good advice for OP, but you said something that struck a chord, and so I'm just going to reiterate it:

>"tell 'em what you're going to be telling them, tell them, and then tell 'em what you told 'em".

Telling them exactly what you're going to tell them provides an incredibly effective anchor for their attention. It gives them a quick mental road map, and the opportunity for them to think about and place each point you make on that map as you move through the presentation.
