He's saying that when they write an app, they'll release the code if it's a Tech app, but not if it's a movie app.
Things they didn't write, like Silverlight, don't come into that equation.
Founded a gaming company, very ambitious goals which in hindsight were highly unrealistic for the team size. Spent loads of savings and family money, got into a startup accelerator program with small funding. 3 Years later the product was released but nowhere near profitable.
Had 6 employees, now down to 2 doing consulting in web development and still paying back the debt.

Lesson learned: First time founders, start small.
Exactly what is in my Mind, an Intel DC SSD Cache in between would be a much better option. Or In fact ANY SSD Cached solution. HDD just dont hold up any more. Even if they are Enterprise HDD with 2x Cache and 2x Port Speed.
Damn people. Our one was off warm milk very early, weened herself at 3 months old, and hates hats. Try telling old biddies that she isn't cold, hates hates and prefers cold milk. Keep on keeping on.

Edit: And that reads like I'm competing with you. I'm not, because that just as bad. Remembering the loud comments and idiocy of strangers makes me a touch wild.
The Great Depression was not during the international gold standard period. By the time it rolled around, central banks controlled the money supply of every advanced economy, and in the midst of the Depression, the U.S. government further left gold-redeemable currency by enacting Executive Order 6102, which ordered all private citizens to turn in their gold, criminalized private gold possession, and made dollars irredeemable in gold.

But let's grant that the Great Depression, along with the Long Depression, was during the gold standard's reign. That's two serious economic contractions interspersing mostly long periods of expansion. Compared to the last several decades, which has been marked by several 'lost decades' for the Middle Class, the gold standard era doesn't look bad.
I'm not rich enough that my life wouldn't be changed by lots of money, but I know startups pretty well.

I invest around $10K once a year in a startup, usually with a friend who I believe strongly in. One of them so far was a disaster, and oddly enough he was the highest profile of these investments. One was quite lucrative. Another is looking to be a great return, having recently raised at more than 10x.

I don't think investing 5% of your income and/or capital in startups is a bad idea if you have reason to believe someone will be successful.

The key is to consider the money lost once you invest it. Don't expect anything back.
There are so many incubators now. The only way this can scale is that there needs to be an incubator for incubators. This will bring the complexity closer to O(log n) rather than O(n).
Wine. Wine prices are based mostly on arbitrary criteria, not on actual quality.

If you blind taste test wines, it looks like there's nearly no correlation between price and quality above $5-$10 a bottle.

yeah, usually there are provoking stories on both side. I work in a radiology department that has a strong obstetric focus, and obviously that leads to a particular view. I hope her reasons don't have too much trauma behind them, but suspect they do.
Exactly my thoughts. The Ivy E5 is just so much better in Power/Performance. I dont understand why they need to update now, not Earlier or later.
I read that you said you saved up. And I think the "relentless execution" stuff is great. Good stuff. But, you're talking about unemployment, so even though you have saved, if you can make all this money, couldn't you work just a little more save more than you'd get on unemployment. You realize that is not manna from heaven money It "ain't that much" in other words.

I get that it is potentially a "moral" and not a "practical" decision but it could a practical or legal issue if you are committing fraud to get the money, just a thought. But if you think that's the best choice for you; go for it, I guess.
I am saying that the people making more dynamic websites believe that what they are doing is better than ye olden dayes of the webbe. Sometimes they're wrong; sometimes they're not. When people make new things that they think are better than the old things, that's called progress.

I'm fascinated that you could work in tech and still manage to seize one small moment in technological time and declare it the peak of goodness. You realize, don't you that people do that with every moment of technological time?

I'm not denying that by your criteria the web was better then. I'm just saying that seizing upon the particular set of aesthetic criteria from the age when one is most impressionable and decrying all that comes after as worse has never been an effective way of changing things back.

Zeppelins are also technical possible. They're just not economically feasible.

People are often perfectly happy to present content as content. But when their economic interests lead them to another approach, aesthetic outrage from a tiny minority won't change that.

I would do whatever I can to reduce the risks of it failing. You first need to identify the things that could keep you from succeeding and eliminate those obstacles. With an app, the most risk is probably product market risk. There's probably very little technology risk. You need to build something that people want. The only way to do that is to show it to people and see if they want it. If you're waiting in line for something, you can show your app to people around you. Watching people use your app also helps a lot with iterating. You have some concept of how your apps works, but other people may not. Also marketing to a specific target niche to gain traction. A good book for this is Crossing The Chasm.
Because you are not looking at the right place. Even OVH sells much cheaper Dedicated Servers then what you get in Softlayer.
Wow, I had to scroll a long long long way to finally get a reasonable suggestion on how to fix problems like this. A problem that potentially EVERY software has, regardless of framework or language. Kudos to you.

Kaizen and SCRUM in its most condensed form.
It's been a year. Those unenforceable non-competes usually last about that long as do the terms baring you from poaching old colleagues. I'd pay the couple hundred bucks to have my attorney review my previous contract while I was negotiating my new improved salary (you have domain experience...) at the competitor if it seems like the right fit.

Begin rant: This is business. I don't know why people in tech seem to forget that so often and feel like they owe previous or existing employers something special beyond the time an effort they are paying for. You don't owe them anything more. Maybe it's because tech is filled with younger folks who have yet to be screwed over or treated like a resource to be used and profited from and don't know better. In other industries people move firms AND take their entire client list with them all the time.
Maybe someone should do something like that to show how ridiculous DMCA can be
In principle if bitcoin takes off you could hold a bitcoin account and purchase things in bitcoin directly, making some of your transactions not subject to the "cash out" overlooking.
When i got into this cycle i was in a desperate place.

I got out of my first startup because "Chinese importers" had driven prices down so much that I couldn't turn a decent profit.

A few weeks later, i got in touch with my manufacturer about a new product for the iPhone 5 and as they were in the process of manufacturing my new product, i listed it on amazon for pre-orders.

I was selling about 10 pieces an hour and had a few thousand pounds in my account after about 5-days, enough to cover my manufacturing costs.

Then amazon reached out that my account had been blocked because it was somehow related to another account they have previously blocked and i cant continue to sell with them or open another account.

They froze my funds and cancelled my account, so i had to refund all those pre-orders and at the time amazon was 99.9 percent of my sales(big mistake)

After that disappointment, i was a bit depressed and decided to leave that business and come into web startups.

I started learning how to code and while i do enjoy coding, its not something i really want to do as much as something i felt (at least at that time) that i had to do. I think it was this mental block + the mild(not clinical)depression that caused me to continue to procrastinate this way.

I was like this for i think about 6 months.. it was bad.

Along with a complete lifestyle optimization (i went in hard on reorganizing my life to be efficient), the big change came when i started working on another promising project - i now had something to look forward to and a hope to hold on-to and i think that's what really made the difference and got me "productive" again.

I can send you details about my lifestyle optimization if you are interested.

Don't refrain from buying because diamonds are hard to extract, and people have to work hard for it. But, because the whole trade is dirty, and you don't want to take part in it. All diamonds are dirty because of the conflict diamonds, there can be no non-conflict diamonds. By purchasing diamonds, you are helping to keep the prices up and funding the blood diamonds as well.
> PostgreSQL has the slowest database restore procedure the world has ever seen. So backups are basically useless for anything bigger than "trivial". Master/Slave replication is death for HA.

What's wrong with hot standby, log shipping and heartbeat?

> Plus the free RDBMSs need enforced clustered indexes. This crontab stuff is for chumps. 99% of the time an enforced cluster would be preferable to increased insert performance for 99% of web-apps.

TED - Bruce Feiler: Agile programming -- for your family
Well, there is a fundamental difference between some of these retired API in the past and this one:

in the first case the developer is the user adopting the API, and enhancing his own service with it, without the end user noticing it.

With this new API the end users of the product will be people with google accounts which will be able to seamlessly interact with 3rd party products. This greatly benefits the company as a platform, which seems to be the recent focus (which led to unpopular unfortunate choices as dropping "leaf" products).

It's ok to criticize that choice etc, but that's another topic.
I guess that if you want to build an application which leverages on the google's ecosystem, it's a reasonably safe bet it won't be dropped soon, as google has a immediate return from it (unlike translate API for instance).
Well to complete the analogy, he stole a tiny bit of the juice from the battery to charge his mobile phone while he was at it.
>>I find it shocking that there are people that think that a woman wanting financial security makes that woman a 'gold-digger'.

Is it?

And why exactly is it the man's responsibility to provide financial security for the woman?

And I always thought women wanted equal rights. Its seems they only want a life long vacation at some body else's expense.
I came across the artwork of Ben Wiseman[1] yesterday, and it struck me how similar in style and color his work is to a lot of the flat designs in question.

However, my experiences with art and artists would lead me to believe that most of them wouldn't even be aware with what to do with a DMCA notice. It's concerning to see such a ham fisted tactic trickling its way through culture.

The idea[2] of issuing a takedown of the Art Institute of Chicago is both funny but also troubling because it's bound to happen sooner or later.

I tried running some PPC ads once, for a month or so. I spent a lot of cash and got nowhere. Curiously I showed a healthy conversion rate on some ads, which encouraged me.

I spent an entire day tracking down a lot of these things. Turned out that in every single case, there was no sale, and I couldn't believe in a million years that traffic from these sites were really following my ads.

I stopped spending money with Google. A year later they sent me a voucher and begged me to try again. So I tweaked some settings, cut the list right down and spent their $150. Same results.

My overriding impression is that display ads, PPC ads and the like are an absolute cesspool of fraud and it's a waste of time trying to untangle the mess.
Another "missed" option: Got seed funding to pay the bills until it ran out or the company became profitable/raised another round.
> This is why many women will accept, at the rational level, that diamonds are horrible and stupid and even evil (since they fuel all kinds of violence in Africa, where they are mined). But most of them will not be able to bring themselves to accept substitutes such as sapphires, rubies, or emeralds. Because that would make their female friends think that the guy does not value them as much (or that they weren't able to find a guy who finds them worthy enough for a diamond).

This is, sadly, so very very true.

When I was proposing I wanted to get an alternative precious stone that would be actually rate - or, at least, a man-made diamond. I told my SO everything about how they're not rare, the price-fixing, the conflict diamonds - but she barely budged because of what her friends would think of it. I managed to sell the idea of a man-made diamond, but eventually had to settle for a natural one which wasn't sourced from Africa because of just how rare they are and how difficult it was to ship them to my country.
Isn't this just a failure in the art of delegation? Having every maintainer read every ticket clearly doesn't scale...
I didn't know anything about Malcolm until now, but I learned Django 6 months ago to start my startup. Using it has been one of the greatest pleasures of my software development career. I understand from the comments that I owe no small portion of this to Malcolm. Without Django, my startup probably doesn't exist, and for that, I'm deeply grateful. My condolences to those who knew him personally.
> And the very fact that even people don't see anything wrong with "autonomous cars", probably "because this time the company in charge is going to create a separate network whis is really secure" is precisely part of the problem.

Why do autonomous cars need to be on a network at all? The ones I built were never remotely accessible...
And you couldn't have any third party apps on an original iPhone. So?
Its all about social status and peer pressure. Most marketing tends to revolve around this.
Of course creating a need where there isn't any works as well.
I apologize, it looks like coinbase servers hit a snag today and they aren't generating transactions in a timely manner. Hopefully they will fix this soon! They are a good service, but haven't figured out the load problems yet.
No, there isn't. If the girl is even slightly intelligent, she will want proof of that financial security and a diamond ring is adequate proof that she can verify on her own.
You got that backwards. Inflation is when the price of money falls relative to other goods.
It's annoying to have to click twice to get to the link.
As opposed to Google operating in China.
Github needs an option for repo owners to replace the "Please review the guidelines for contributing to this repository" text on the issue submission page. Or maybe even an obnoxious interstitial page where you have to confirm that you've read the repo-specific notice before being taken to the page with the issue submission form.
> I'm not sure there are any commercial products that were in the App Store and were then removed because of a change in Apple's TOS

Well, at the very least, the removal gun has been pointed at a lot of commercial apps when Apple has decided to "re-interpret" the TOS.

For instance, it used to be standard practice to kick someone out to your website to buy an ebook (i.e. the appropriate alternative to IAP). Over the course of several months, it became a TOS violation.

Apps that required an external subscription used to include sign-up links on their login screen. Now they don't.

How many commercial apps were hit by the Apple's app store programming language restriction?

Or, if we're including the Mac App Store, how many apps and developers have left it over sandboxing?

Yes, Apple isn't likely to shut down their app store completely. But, whenever they want, they can (and might sometimes do) kill a part of it that you care about, for their own internal reasons.
I've been working with @birdsarah at the PyCon sprints on our first commit to Django. We've had super patient help from core developers Julien, Carl, Aymeric and Honza. Then I wanted to get in touch with one of the people who'd originally worked on the refactoring we're working on, and it was Malcolm, who I'd never heard of, and I was told he'd died the previous evening, and obviously I felt sad about that.
Is the price of diamonds in the U.S. really that high?

I spent quite a chunk of change on an engagement ring for my fiancée, but it was closer to a week's salary. I think if I'd spent three months salary on it the rock would be so big she wouldn't be able to lift her hand.

I'm making good money, but we're not exactly talking Fortune-500 CEO levels here.
Here's a recap:

Is that guy serious?
I can so easily relate to this. Although I deal with only a fraction of the GitHub traffic that Jeremy does, it's still demoralising at times, and dominates the effort I spend on OSS. It's the equivalent of every widget owner having the CEO's home number, and it being culturally normal to call to discuss any problem or even idea for minor tweak.

One possibility I've wondered about is making the GitHub issues list read-only, except for project maintainers. Then bug reports and feature requests would go initially only to the project's forum or IRC channel, which has much less maintenance cost, because threads or conversations don't need to be "closed". If they attract enough attention (because they describe a painful bug, or a really good idea), then a project maintainer is likely to notice and choose to file an issue.
I have a small website that run on a custom built framework. I pay $10 a month.

So far digitalocean works like a charm, recently I've had a swarm of visitors from reddit and didnt hurt a bit. I say so far I am satisfied with the service.
