I don't think gigabit Ethernet is common ( yet ). 10/100 is. The Arnedale board, with an Exynos 5 has sata and 10/100. Samsungs on a push in South Korea with partners. It's happening a little in the US too with TI partnering with Phytec and others.

This som doesn't have sata either.

Life: Reading more books. I've read more book in the last two years than I have in the rest of my life, both in physical and in audio forms. It's amazing what little bits of information you pick up from all kinds of different books.

Programming: Learning Node. It got me excited about development again, which caused me to get out and meet other developers in my community. I was so enamored with it that I quit my day job in order to have more time to learn Node and many other new web technologies. As a bonus, I used the stuff I learned in that time to get a new job that I like more and make nearly twice the income at.
I blow $220 a lot more often than once every three years (the frequency with which I buy a computer), and on things a lot less important and time-consuming than swapping RAM.
This is probably just to compete with Google+, which does the same thing, and which Google has advertised on YouTube about (man loses phone with pictures of baby daughter, oh look, they're safe on Google+!).
It's pretty quick and dirty... purl.ly links will detect a 404 at the destination and redirect you to the google cache instead. Works great if that page is in the google cache, but it may not be.

I'll get around to caching the full content of the destinations at time of purl.ly creation next, and serve that if google is missing it.
Agreed, this is all too common. Not to mention these supposed developer boards should not have audio, or half of the USB ports on offer. I would actually prefer dual gigabit LAN, as I'd guess most of us would prefer using these boards for headless operation (accessible via a browser for an end user). From what I've seen, most hobbyists aren't planning on making a mobile device, but more something like this:

I've actually built what I refer to as my steambox, which is just a desktop computer hooked up to the tv in the living room. It's got a few 360 controllers plugged in and we've been playing games on that instead of the 360 that's also there. Stuff like dungeon defenders and Jamestown actually have great splitscreen, but we can also grab our laptops and have a 4 player game with each of us getting our own screen.
It's more flexible.
Also it's way easier to play youtube or whatever since it's actually got a keyboard.
Not to mention that Steam sales are great. PC is cheaper.

> I'm pretty sure the only way to minimize bugs is to write less code.

Please think about what you are saying. Such an overly broad statement is so easy to shoot down, I'm sure there are plenty of other ways of minimizing bugs. NASA and Boeing have this figured out, for example, although it is incredibly expensive (formal verification, independent redundancy, extensive testing, static analysis, etc...).
XSS where you least expect it
I have also thought of using them. One option if it doesn't scale is use ajax and get list from servers from what user types and still use this to skip the js/css work. Still reduces the work needed by quiet a bit.
Hey, thanks for giving me your first impression. GA blasts you with lots of long tail keywords. It'll be up to you to figure out similar keywords yourself and check the competitiveness. Also, the competitiveness ranking from the Adwords API is based on how many people are bidding on that keyword, not how hard it is to rank in the search engine results. The application I'm building would analyze your inbound keywords and tell you which ones you should rank for.

People could use the GA API and Adwords API to build something similar. But that just goes into the argument of whether to build or to buy. Businesses would probably spend the money instead of building it themselves and wasting their engineer's time.

Tell me if you have any thoughts on my response. I'm thinking I really need to clarify the landing page but I'd rather finish building the MVP.
Those slides are fantastic. Seriously great content, especially the "start the e-mail with the template" slide. Thanks for linking that.

On the second "simple or fancy" slide, what were the results of the data on that? Same (general) results as the first slide?
There's a limit of maximum 100.000 users/tokens for new Twitter clients. That's still $100 000 for $1 Twitter apps ($70 000 after Apple/Google takes their share), so it's not the end of the world of Twitter apps, but it won't make any developers rich either.

Getting 100 000 users for paid apps is very rare, Falcon Pro has just between 1000 and 5000 users so far for example. It's was just recently released though. If it starts to become popular "too fast" the price can just be raised.
Never taking unemployment while without work -- may I ask why?
I'd like to see an article that explains the difference between UI design and UX design, with examples.

The problem there is that if you ask three different designers you'll get at least four different answers ;-)

UX is a relatively new term. Coined by Don Norman on 1993 for his role at Apple it's morphed and tweaked in the intervening time and still means different things to different folk. The Elements of UX diagram from Jesse James Garrett is as good a definition as any http://www.jjg.net/elements/pdf/elements.pdf.

UI Design used to be generally read something as a pretty broad domain - similar to UX - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_interface_design for example. However, I sometimes see it used now to refer to somebody with a narrower speciality of doing the visual design work on interfaces that have been designed by others.

The communities of practice are still rapidly evolving. Hard and fast definitions don't really apply.
Sounds like a good museum.

I read mostly to see what was unsettling. Perhaps an exhibit debunking evolution? No, it's this: "But it is almost bizarre to see a major exhibit about energy whose central focus is on fracking and its machinery, even if the process ultimately transforms American energy production".

Whether you hate fracking, love fracking, or like me just don't know enough to have an opinion, it seems like a great exhibit to visit. It really is transforming energy production in the US and it should be more widely understood.
Kudos! I really like it and will use it.
There is a problem with RegExp links: 404 errors.
http://overapi.com/javascript/jsref_regexp_charset.asp
Definitely. It just seems to go against the intent. But it’s not like my project isn’t littered with JS files, so a line of JavaScript more or less probably won’t make much of a dent. Especially when it is a fairly lightweight service.

I already have a fair amount of HTML5 fall-back code and whatnot.
APK Decompiling Modifying and Rebuilding
Life: Started getting up early and going to the gym every morning. I wake up at 0530 and then I go to the gym, shower, and eat breakfast before I leave for work at about 0800. Having that much time in the morning greatly reduces stress, so I do it even if I skip working out for a day.

Programming: Joining the local meetup groups, attending both areas where I am very knowledgeable and areas I want to know more about. I've learned a lot and I've met hundreds of inspiring people. Giving talks at the meetup groups is also very rewarding and highly recommended.
Were you working in Seattle, or just on vacation? Two kids I graduated highschool with work at MSFT out there, curious how big of a HN meetup it is out there...been thinking about actually moving to the left coast within the next few years, never been there but would like to be. I'm currently working on a health IT startup about 30 mins outside of NYC, it's just me and 2 others, but I'm the only technical guy...looking to find some other technical people who want to solve tough problems in health IT that's why I'm looking to start attending some meetups in the city...is anyone else here interested, or currently working in health IT?
Tried the service and got two errors first,

I cannot add a URL that does not have "http"
I cannot type a URL that has "https"

Would be nice to be able to add https adresses and add them in any form.

Also an idea, make it as a web browser plugin so I can change the url in the brower and add it to my link library. Then it's even better. I don't like detours.

Question, what happen if I prul.ly a Url once then the content changes and I want to save the new content as well (Different content, same url)?

Anyway, I really like the concept, keep going!

Life choice : better internship over grades.
Programming choice : giving up php in favour of python.
Boring? Depends how you use it. You can do a lot with weight, size, colour, etc.

Going for a serif/sans-serif pairing is a classic choice - and can also work well. But it can also lead to more opportunities to get things "wrong".

Constraints are useful in design.

Also in most UX situations boring is way better than bad ;-)

Hi All.

I'm Clive, Wintron's non-programmer colleague and the guy who tried FizzBuzz on the piece of paper.

I feel fascinated by the fact people are examining the approach I took, and a little flattered by the nice remarks people have made about the fact I should maybe move on to learn a programming language. Maybe I will.

If I'm honest, I don't understand all the observations people have made, but there's one I do understand, and wanted to shed some light on: the point about iteration.

The exercise reminded me of some kind of in-the-round drinking game, where everyone is determining the responses one by one, as an iteration of the last number.
Consequently, this shaped the way I approached the problem.

In retrospect, I completely see that I would have been better off simply counting from 1 to 100, then translating each of the 100 numbers into how it should be displayed (Fizz, Buzz, FizzBuzz or as a number). But recreating the drinking game in my head, it made perfect sense to me that each number is determined by being an iteration of the last one. That feels to me like I count in real life.

Thanks again for taking an interest, and yes, maybe I will ask Wintron/Steve to teach me some programming!

Clive
P90x will work, but the key is diet. CrossFit will work too, but again the key is diet. P90x provides that meal planning. Stick to that and workout and it will work. Or go slow carb and hit up CrossFit. But the key thing to remember is that you can't out train a bad diet. Garbage in == garbage out.

The first startup I'm seriously trying to build: http://folkrobots.com

It's only a landing page at the moment, working on finishing the MVP within this month.

What I'm trying to build is a SEO tool that analyze your inbound traffic and gives you a list of keywords to target. It'll analyze the keywords and related keywords and check how competitive they are for you, automatically.

Give me lots of feedback please. If anything confuses you, please let me know.
Ah yes I see, thanks for the clarification.
My advice: start climbing. It's like going to the gym but fun.
Working out and writing software are like beer and chocolate.

Taxes don't have to be this complicated and loophole filled. Almost any scheme you can think of would be better. A flat tax would be fine and save us so much grief.
Why do you maintain this is just a fad? I walk that same distance every day on my treadmill desk. It's helped my chronic back problem and it's better for my joints because it prevents bad posture. What's wrong with it?

Oh I know that it all existed before, I am just commenting on how prevalent it is and how much it is built in by design.

To be honest I think you are slightly out of date in thinking torrent sites are just the 'retail' level. The majority of pre retail releases of movies (CAM/R5/Screener/HDTV etc) these days are done by p2p groups. A huge amount of pre release leaks of bluray disks come from Chinese bittorrent sites. A huge proportion of games get uploaded to p2p sites before getting pred and many games are cracked by p2p groups before the scene groups get to them (with several notable cases of scene groups 'stealing' p2p releases).

The one area where I feel like the scene could be said to be in a different league is in preing TV, but even that is slipping with p2p groups uploading full .ts streams and itunes rips.
I think it's simply that most of these devboards are produced by the SoC manufacturers with the idea of popularising/making it easy to develop products for their SoC. So the peripherals you get are the ones the SoC has, and traditionally most of these SoCs are aimed at the mobile space, which doesn't have SATA or ethernet or PCI (ethernet on these devboards is often USB-ethernet). As the A15-based SoCs (eg exynos5) appear I'm hoping to see more SoCs aimed less solidly at the mobile market, and with a wider mix of onboard devices.
I think it expects you to combine the addition and multiplication, like this:

(/ (+ 5 4 (- 2 (- 3 (+ 6 (/ 4 5))))) (* 3 (- 6 2) (- 2 7)))
The autograder checks for (+ 5 4 (- 2 ...)), instead of nesting the additions. You can view the source to see the grader. I'm not sure how to make it accomodate all the ways it could be nested though.
"Sender pays" is a good way of stopping those pesky citizens from communicating and turning the interwebs into a TV-like experience.
Life: Going Paleo (not 100% strict but maybe 80%) and focusing on everything that alters my mood and testing it to see if removing it makes a difference (alcohol, caffeine, excess sugar, etc)

Programming: focusing on building a business with software and not getting so anal about every line of code. Learning to be lean in all ways possible really helped here.
Your ideas intrigue me sir, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Many of the comments here are arguing that walking desks aren't necessary because one can just exercise outside of working hours. What they're failing to consider is new research that shows that sitting all day and then exercising is still unhealthy on the whole. Walking desks are intended to reduce the number of hours just sitting. They're not intended to be your daily workout/break from the monitor, etc.
Not really a start-up, but some things I've been working on, mostly in an attempt to get in the habit of shipping stuff opposed to writing.

1. Kill long meetings (http://killlongmeetings.com/). Counts the time and calculates the money you're spending in a meeting.

2. Where to pee in Antwerp (http://antwerp-wheretopee.apphb.com/). The city of Antwerp (Belgium) has opened up some of its data. This mobile web app get all the toilets in Antwerp and sorts them by distance. Shows that the browser is already capable of running these sort of apps; beats building 3 native apps.

3. Culture in Antwerp (http://antwerp-culture.apphb.com/). Also for the city of Antwerp. This is just a POC which should show that their current site (http://www.antwerpen.be/eCache/ABE/80/34/031.html) is visually very unattractive.

> The CL spec is about 1000 pages printed

The spec covers not just the language itself, but the whole standard library.

> The R5RS Scheme specification is 50 pages.

And with those 50 pages, you can not do anything useful out of the box. Yeah, you can solve SICP excercises, but thats essentially it. All useful features are implementation specific, and the Scheme ecosystem is more fragmented than the Balkan. Scheme code is essentially non-portable amongst the 1001 existing implementation. You dont write "Scheme" directly. You write code either for "Guile" or for "Chicken" or "Bigloo". PLT doesnt even call their implementation Scheme any more, they call it Racket. You dont write Scheme, you write Racket.

This leads to the question of why a standard was nescessary at all, if youre not standardizing a critical amount of features to enable portable code.

Bad idea. The radiocommunication satellites are also regulated by ITU: http://www.itu.int/en/about/Pages/whatwedo.aspx .

This is the SOC in the Nexus 10 right? Is someone working on a linux port for the N10?

How's the video acceleration on this? I need to start a blog. I read like 2-3 hours worth of ARM news once or twice a week trying to track down the best HW/SW/price combination for a simple dumb XBMC-upnp frontend.

The Rockchip devices have pretty crap support, though AMLogic released some sources that might help. Allwinner is finally making progress via AW's CedarX, though it's apparently still sufficiently buggy and they're back at the mercy of Allwinner.

I've yet to see much about the Samsung setup though. I love the Exynos and would very happily spend another $100 in an attempt to find the right thing.

That having been said, there are ~$50 versions of the HDMI stick that have powerful Cortex A9s in them that make these look over priced.

Until there is a open-source program that replicates what Ableton Live offers (seamless and easy-to-use integration of audio recording and nonlinear editing with MIDI production), no one will consider using an open-source tool.

The biggest hurdle from my point of view is that low-latency audio on operating systems that are not Windows or OS X is a joke. Some organization needs to sink and huge chunk of developer time into either improving the user and developer experience of JACK or writing something new. Maybe once that is in place and starts shipping in vanilla Ubuntu (no special kernel requirement either!) the user software developers will be able to start catching up with the tools available on the Win/Mac platforms.
Don't quote me on this, but I think that feature might be new in 4.2. Can't find it on my HP TouchPad running CM10 either.

Hey Charlie, the second slide was just another example showing contrast between plain and fancy -- more of a talking point during the class. Both of them were reader submitted so I didn't have any data.

It's something I'm interested to test a little more. In general, plain text is a pretty safe, high performing option. However, I've heard that a well designed HTML email has done better in A/B tests. I want to find the proof.
Why not check the result and also check for the presence of parentheses? That way you can verify the result and make sure nobody's just copying and pasting in an answer.

One could easily do something like (-2.466..) as the answer, but given that you just need a simple way to verify answers, I think my strategy works well.
I'm working a nights/weekend startup that positively conflicts with the subject matter: a better kiteboarding forecast service/app. http://kitecaster.com The idea is to model how kiteable a spot is based on the location, your schedule/equipment, and of course the weather.
