Hahaha, Hey Ryan. Totally agree. If you don't need to do this, DON'T.
I have experienced plenty of earthquakes where one person felt it quite strongly and another living nearby didn't.

How easy it is to feel varies depending on what floor you're on, how well constructed your building is, what kind of ground you're standing on, etc, etc, etc.

Furthermore at that distance the earthquake should be a slow roller, which means that someone who is focused on something might not notice while another person in the same room could notice, realize how much motion there is, and freak out. I've been there as well - as the person watching a movie who ignored an earthquake that everyone outside of the movie was quite aware of.

So the fact that you live in Moscow and didn't feel it is not grounds to call BS on someone else claiming that they felt it.

This "pop" usage of zen hurts my religious sensibilities. zen is about a being a lotus in a dirt-pool.

I'm sorry about it. I assume the word is also used in a sense of being calm and out of clutter.

Is't my dumb solution better than yours, for me atleast ?

If your solution works for you, it is definitely better. If you think others also would subscribe to your solution, do post it.

WTF is so zen about full-screen ?

IMHO, Zen is not just about fullscreen. It is about how much minimalistic and uncluttered your experience is.

Why aren't you solving real problems for bloggers, getting heard in a sea of me-too's, separating propaganda from truth.

I didn't start this project to solve problems for bloggers, there are plenty of them solving it really well. It is a niche problem that I had.
I don't if that is a Valley thing though. Many people, particularly intellectuals would choose the first. However, let's be honest how many of those Valley startups are on a path to contribute anything remotely close to that level, even if they were maximally successful? Many of them are like "We're changing the way people sell houses" or "We are disrupting the auto-insurance industry" and that's fine but it's hardly the stuff of Newton or Leibniz.

So if you take different point from the article, it may make sense to attempt to achieve whatever your goal is another way than slaving away for 3 years on some "Growth Hacker" startup that goes nowhere, because, again, it's not going to get books written about you 200 years from now. Or not.
To be fair, the iPhone did totally broadside the existing phone makers. Had there been hype years before, and prototypes floating around a year earlier, they'd have had a more time to react. (Not like they reacted very well anyways.)
I did the same on https://www.mila.com

It's fairly simple but it took some time to figure out the right sequence and timing for it to run smoothly across all devices / browsers.
Would be you interested in teaming up to make a separate project to provide the layout to make your blog look like a svbtle blog? I used to Obvtse but I didn't like it because it the over head of a Rails application.
Algol, and its formal EBNF description, is definitely the easiest language I have ever worked with. Burroughs, now Unisys, had an immensely powerful combination of true stack based hardware, a compact OS that supported parallel running across systems as well as programs, and various tailored flavours of Algol for comms, database and other use. A great development environment, decades ahead of its time. Alas C and Unix were cheaper and Burroughs never really understood that there was a market other than big tin users.

But yes, even now when I write Ruby or Python or Go, I miss the clarity of Algol.
I agree but not all start-ups are for mass public consumption. Also what you're essentially talking about are marketing channels, this can be time consuming if not managed properly.
Ya setting shouldRasterize = YES would be bassackwards for animating CAShapeLayer. I actually found animating the path attribute incredibly easy and performant with CAKeyframeAnimations.

Another note with -drawRect and animations, I messed around with CADisplayLink and -drawRect to make animations. Beware of doing this, it was a performance hog. It was a simple animation in a large rect, and by the time I had optimized the drawing area, I could have finished the entire project.

I wonder, would CAShapeLayer become more of a resource hog with more points in the path (or more complex arcs), or does it happen with the overall size of the path?
If this is true, this lack of transparency with developers (note that is it not about an event for the public, it is about communication with developers), which hurts those who tried to get in fare and square and failed the most, is a start to another regression in Apple's history.
You mean a trailer park? Like the ones that have been torn down to make room for luxury buildings?
There are products that are very popular in niche (or not so) places, and practically no one heard of them outside.

As a game developer I've seen plenty of those. You'll hear about them only from game developers, and other non-game developers almost never heard of them. And these are not graphics/animation/movie related - they things for managing/debugging memory/leaks/profiling/file I/O/etc.

I'm not sure how well these middleware providers do, but if they are small teams (sometimes just one person), and they keep good history, and are able to make $100,000 a year - then why not, especially if you can do other things in the mean time.

Here is some (probably outdated, and not full page) - http://www.gamemiddleware.org/

I for one love Deja Insight - but who has heard of it? http://www.dejatools.com/dejainsight

It's awesome product (not free, not open source, and not VTune/prof contentder) - but the nice GUI that it has, with tracking back makes it awesome little product that I've been using for the last 3-4 years at the studio (and only 2-3 more people, the rest of the studio doesn't know much about it - they use other things).
As much as the Occupy movement made a splash in the news, I haven't really seen an impact in the employment prospects of my circles in NY. I haven't seen a single person leave finance other than on the grounds of being overworked and burnt out.
yep, because they are living a dream, and hope.
I feel about this much the same way I feel about the endless proliferation of Markdown variants; if we could all agree on one simplification, sure, but the current situation where we haven't really stinks. For instance, ask early Gmail users about putting + in the email.

So while I agree with you in principle, in practice it seems infeasible. The differences bite in practice, unfortunately.
I agree with most of the things you said. In fact there are two major reasons why I want to start a company. Number 1 being that I want to be able to get my kids a great education and the other is that I want to innovate something that will help everyones life, I want to majorly contribuite to society.
Creating multiple SSH keys is an interesting form of obfuscation, but it relies on trimming your bash command history and not using ssh-config files.
Speaking of hate and like, I hate that the popularization of the word "skeumorphism" gives engineers a false sense of confidence and understanding when discussing design. The designers and writers that use this word make their living from the tech industry so they understandably pander to this engineering culture.

On the other hand, many designers read HN so they can talk nonsense about engineering topics. It goes both ways.
What about in five years, when the same teens are college students?
Why? People with "low aspirations" are not necessarily bad people, nor unsuitable mates. Everyone needs something different in their lives. All I'm saying is that "self-improvement for the sake of dating" is terrible advice. Most people want to go on dates with people who are attractive, and self-improvement is often an anti-pattern for that. Yes, we'd like to think that everyone has real standards (versus superficial ones), we'd probably even like to think that we set real, personality standards for ourselves, but that doesn't get you out meeting people, and it can be extremely intimidating when you actually do.

It's merely bad advice because that's not what people are looking for. Even people who might intellectually think "oh, I'm looking for a good guy/good gal" are not six times out of ten (that's a made-up statistic)
Exactly.

"Can I help you?"
"Nope. Just looking..."
"OK. Just let me know if you need any assistance."

Perfect. I have help if I need it. If I was initially too shy to ask, the door was opened for me. No pressure.

Of course we're talking typical retail, set up for self service. This model doesn't always apply, and you shouldn't blindly apply it.

I use Craigslist often for work. They have been slowly improving it and I don't have any major complaints.

Since CL was an early entrant to the space, I think you will have a huge challenge getting a critical mass of users. Maybe you can create an add-on to enhance CL rather than compete with it?
The contract says "administrative charge". My bill says "administrative fee". In the dictionary, there is a difference between a charge and a fee. So to the lawyer -- is there a difference between a charge and a fee? If so, then there's an out.
Arguably 3 should be covered by user prompt.
If someone gets hold if your smart card, they can enter a wrong pass phrase to remove your private key, right? So, you have to have multiple of these smart cards (that all share the same private key), some in your wallet, some in your house and some in a bank or vault somewhere. Otherwise, you can lose access to your private keys forever.

Am I right, or I'm missing something?
So in addition, 'spell check' for likely domains. People probably don't mean to type 'gmale.com' -- but don't prevent them from doing so, if that's what they really meant.
Did Facebook "plan to scale beyond the niche"? Or were they just lucky?
Agree, but this is not an example of a regex problem.
Ada Lovelace credited with first computer programming language; wrote an algorithm for the Analytical Engine (early mechanical computer)

This is often credited as the first computer program ever written and by extension she is often credited as the first computer programmer. Those are great things and accurate as far as I know, but I think saying that she created the first programming language is a bit disingenuous.
How do you even prevent that? You need some seriously broken code to catch a system wide short-cut.
If using IPs in an email address you are supposed to surround it with square brackets anyway.

I wouldn't add IP address support to an email regex because I'd rather turn away such perverse data anyway. Nobody uses IP-based email addresses.
I'm having trouble clicking from a "reward" to the invest page... Maybe add buttons to these or make the whole thing clickable.
Oklahoma: Mobile Communication in the Wake of a Tornado
I agree, and it's interesting to see the resistance around here. I think a lot of people don't really want to take a hard look at their own motivations because they're afraid they might not like what they see. I don't think the illusion of money-driven happiness is at all limited to the startup world. The rat race exists in a whole lot of other careers too--law, medicine, engineering, finance, showbiz, and so on.

I think most people chase money based on the perception that it will raise them to some higher plane of existence. But the reality is that every time you break into some new level, there's always just another level waiting above you, enticing you to double down. This article has a strong point: instead of chasing abstract advancement, figure out what it <i>actually is</i> that you want, <i>and then</i> strategize how to get it. And better yet, strategize how you can enjoy the journey. You might actually achieve definitive satisfaction that way and also be able to look back on your life and not feel as though half of it was spent in an unfulfilling chase.
Don't do that in your .bash_profile unless you run login shells on all of your terminals!

Setting HISTFILE propagates that setting to child shells - unsetting HISFILE does not.
No doubt. I remember watching that match on TV when it originally happened, and just being stunned. Coming back from a 10+ point defecit is hard enough in high-school wrestling, much less at the NCAA finals level.

Definitely a testament to perseverance, grit and determination.
If you are not familiar with Linux (for example, you're working on Windows or mostly doing web-development), it could entirely be. Mac OS is more friendly, but I certainly saw many developers that didn't scratch the surface and directly went with XCode/ObjC/iOS. In that sense, you can build a career without ever considering OSS development/usage.

What's best for somebody that, as of now, is questioning which project should be looking at? If you don't know what you're looking for, any advice is just as good as a google or github search (ie: useless).

If you start by having fun, even by publishing your random projects, you will be dragged in by dependencies (that's ironic). I would rather recommend choosing something fun to work with than a random project to look at.
From my experience a user will almost always remember the password they've just entered, even if they got the email wrong. They should be able to login to a not-yet activated account and be presented with the option to correct the email for the activation email to be sent to. There's no potential for abuse there.

I don't feel like there's that much pressure on the startup, I'm just concentrating full-time on it for a while. If I run out of savings I'll pick up some freelance stuff and keep working on it, just not full-time. I guess it all depends on your unique circumstances.
Well, you're implying there's a great deal of foresight and future investment going on :P

I don't think the turnover from Facebook is currently high enough for "management", as it were, to care about the opinions of a few teenagers.

My wife's family is from Iowa, but nobody would mistake Des Moines for the city that never sleeps. Even its most fervent partisans. That's the way analogies work.
There's a big difference going from a demoable app to production-ready software.

So much so, that it's exceptionally rare for a single individual to do both.

The worst managers don't see this, and mistake a well-made prototype for a finished app.

But as Elon Musk has said, "The first step is to establish that something is possible; then probability will occur."

I have done something similar -- I've run ssh-agent on my phone, then I ssh from my phone to my PC with the agent-forward (-A) option so that any ssh connections I do from my PC forwards the authentication requests to my phone. (This was with my Nokia N900 phone -- I'm working on setting up a similar thing for Android).
Cool. Feel free to steal. :) I think of it as one more channel for feedback, as to not miss out on insights otherwise lost.

@topicstarter: consider taking a break. Things usually make more sense once you've taken a breather and focus on other things in life than "doing a startup". It can provide you with a new sense of perspective on your current situation (i.e. it's not as bad as you think it is).

Moreover, creating well executed solutions is a hard thing to do, period. Try adjusting your goals on what you hope to get out of your startup: not only financially but intrinsically as well. Setting the bar too high on day 1 is the same as setting yourself up for failure. Taking things one step at a time works much more motivating and allows you to iterate to your desired end-goal.

Also, consider reading up less about what others do. In particular, consider reading up less about other people's successes and so forth. They can easily create this feeling of "being a failure" for not having been able to achieve that just yet. Startups tend to fail more often than not, although I wouldn't necessarily be too comfortable to use the word "fail" in this context: it's often a necessary thing to learn what one did wrong and how one can improve. In that sense, you might want to take another look at your undertakings of the past few years :)
Yet another reason I love lastpass. None of this nonsense anymore.
The Z can have a 1080p screen if you want. It's also an extremely light laptop as is, so I think adding the extra battery won't make it all that heavy.

I'm not sure what the article claims here. This is the first dated inscription but the positional arabic notation (with a zero like glyph) had been in use for at least 300 years earlier. If you consider other place value systems the concept of a 'separator' goes back much farther.

This isn't necessarily evidence that they understood zero as a number as opposed to a concept. By 1000 in Europe they used a symbol as a placeholder that looked superficially similar to our modern glyph of zero. When explaining it, however, it was clear it was simply a placeholder that could always be omitted and was "sometimes useful" and was absolutely not really a number. It isn't clear that the glyph used here or in Europe was anything more than an elaborate 'dot.' It certainly didn't seem to be be transmitted as a recognizable glpyh but each culture rendered it in the way most convenient as a counting and placeholder aid.
I suppose that's true. That's really only one of my complaints though. I care much more about the content (or lack thereof) than I do about the annoying popup.

Point taken though :).

I know what the VIX is, what is the source of social media sentiment? Seems like a lot of potential for distortion.
> The solution will probably entail geolocation, semi-anonymity, and perhaps ephemeral (that is, non-persistent) IRC-like chatrooms.

Checkout chatimity.com (my startup). This part of your comment is spot on for us :) It is a geolocation based, pseudonymous IRC-style place with some behavioral tracking and modulation to keep the place clean and civilized.
Not sure what the Occupy movement has to do with it- I'm talking about engineers in the startup industry. NYC barely had a startup industry a few years ago, now I know a great many talented engineers employed by it.

People might not be leaving finance, but I'm not sure how many engineers are going to it. It's definitely not "cool" here any more.
There were hype in spades leading up to the iPhone launch, though. And it is not like it was revolutionary in any other way than that it changed the business model of media and mobile phones previously in favor and control of the telcos to one in favor and control of Apple.
We built a proprietary natural language processing engine which parses social media data looking for the specific "attitudes" bullishness and bearishness.
Depending on the cards and their configuration, you could generate the key outside (say, on a trusted machine at home) and upload it to the card. If the cards gets stolen, and you trust the security of the card to not leak the key, you could just get yourself a new one and upload the old key again.

The other philosophy is to generate the key on the RSA card, and never allow the card to export it. Then you consider the private key dispensable and will have to update all systems to accept a new card's private key.
Looks, good but uses TIOBE and is missing C# in second table (high-level, multi-paradigm, cross-platform, used in gamedev, webdev, enterprise, used by Stack Overflow, Stack Exchange, Unity3d, Mono etc.).
I wish we could say we were entirely unbiased! The truth is we do love Double beyond the product itself because the team (David, Marc, Jay and Farhad) is awesome to work with. I mentioned that it was a bit challenging to use the first version we got, but they've iterated on improvements very quickly. (They've also been very patient and collaborative with problems on our side.) We can't wait to see what's coming next.
I guess facebook has truly become a utility: It's a semi-monopolist users hate, but they find it too hard to cut the cord. Sounds like AT&T, Comcast etc.
I should be more clear because there is a crush of data on the page. Look at the "10 Days Correlations Chart" de-select all but the Bull/VIX. Sorry, still working on the UI.

Exactly, of course you should focus on your most profitable demographic when launching a new product. But once you have a sustainable business it's important to think about where your money will be coming from in the future.

I doubt anyone will say that tobacco companies marketing to teenagers is a bad idea because they can't even buy the product yet. It ensures the long term profitability of the company.
Of course, one could have been T.S. Eliot, with a reasonable case to be made that you were the greatest poet of the 20th century, and find yourself working in a sub-basement of a bank for eight years to support yourself while pursuing your true vocation.

"So one must find out
how to become happy oneself.
Wanting to transform the world

is like trying to cover the whole world with leather
to avoid the pain of walking on stones and thorns.
It is much simpler to wear shoes."

The fact that 3DES is slower is actually an advantage if you are trying to prevent against brute-force attacks. Given that we are encrypting binary data, it's unlikely that knowledge of the plaintext (for example, knowing that it's probably US-ASCII and so the 8th bit is probably always zero) is not going to be available to the attacker. Other potential attacks, such as related plaintext attacks, will also not be available to the attacker. Given that brute force attacks are the most likely threat scenario, using a 3DES which is slower is a reasonable choice.

Cool, mjpeg might make more sense for vnc though, they animate fine ff at least.
I didn't start this project to solve problems for bloggers, there are plenty of them solving it really well. It is a niche problem that I had.

This. The startup-oriented audience sometimes forgets that people don't always start a project that scratches a universal itch. Sometimes you just want to make a small bit of your own life better and then share the solution with the world, just in case it helps someone else, too.
