As many other have said, this looks similar to Trello. It may be worth looking into how they have their UI set up.

Noticeable differences - In trello, the button which will action something is located close to where you would expect the result.

eg. The new card functionality is at the bottom of the column, the new column functionality is in the top right.
Further "more advanced" functionality is hidden in drop down menus for which the indicator appears on hover.
High stakes players (best targets for such attacks) usually don't play more than 3-4 tables at once - there just isn't enough action nowadays, and with hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line, even they (they are often multitasking gods by an ordinary human standard) ackonwledge that focusing on smaller number of tables might be a good idea...
What the hell man? Chrome OS has been a God send for my sister in law who's broken every other computer she's ever used within a year either by installing a virus or physically breaking it. While it's a niche market, I think it works well in these cases: user just needs a web browser and family member doesn't want to be IT support every time he/she breaks something.
Android Studio is a fork of the OSS IDEA by Google. IntelliJ IDEA is the version released by the actual company and is not affiliated with Google.
Lisbon Treaty is an EU Consitution. They needed to change the name from Constitution to Treaty once French and Dutch voted no. That's how much they respect democratic process. They hate democracy, they call it 'populism'. Nobody can quit EU - look at Greece! They are not allowed to. They have to suffer in Euro prison forever, till the German banks will be repaid each and every euro-cent! And even if someone quits then - looking at the EU history - they will be voting every year to re-join till they eventually say 'yes'. Again, no respect for democratic process. Any vote that's not in alignment with the EU unelected officials like Barroso (Marxist) or Van Rumpoy is called 'populism', 'nazism', 'anti-democratic'. Go to hell with your Marxism, stop spreading this cancer on this beautiful continent.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riding-like_sitting might be. I personally use a saddle chair at work these days, although there are fewer serious studies done on the subject than I'd like. One of the evident benefits of sitting higher is that it's less effort to stand up, walk around, and also work standing up (if you have an easily adjustable desk).

In fact a lot of the Chinese devices ship with something closely resembling the open-source parts of Android, shipping with apps cobbled from here and there (to make up for the lack of Play access).
In a few things I've made that use it I do it in the background so state is maintained between sessions (load the data during initialisation, save it on any state change). It's important to inform the user that it's storing things locally, and include a UI element that allows the user to clear all the data easily, and possibly let users switch storage off (for shared computers). I use it in mobile things so that's not really a problem for me.
This is of a kind with the guy who decided to pretend to be an arsehole Google employee at a demonstration against their buses. It goes right against the points they're trying to make: why pretend to be on the 'other side'? Obviously because the other side isn't acting the way you claim them to be.
I've been programming for 31 years, 22 of which are professional experience. This list was hilarious. If it wasn't meant as a joke then you take yourself way too seriously.
Android Studio is built off of the codebase[0] from IntelliJ 13. The JetBrains products like RubyMine, WebStorm, and seem to be built off of the same core IDE with plugins for languages/platforms and features. So most of the functionality is really just in plugins, and of course IntelliJ probably offers additional Android development functionality for a price.

> I'm with everyone else here.

Because I'm not? Or are you just knee-jerk assuming that because I dare to raise any comment at all, I'm opposed to the general idea?

Don't assume that ending the war on drugs will free up some large, discrete sum of money that you can go and promise away on "sweet social programs". The money saved (of which there will be plenty) is in hundreds, even thousands, of small pools across all levels of government, all of which are perpetually money-starved, and it will be gone like dew on a summer morning before you'll get anywhere near it.
I also heard rumors about horseracing - which would be great, but very unlikely. The area is unlikely to get any worse no matter what they do.
I'm pretty sure it's the sofa, not the posture.
Sell to HN: Android game
I'm no longer interested in maintaining an Android game I've developed which has been live for about a year. It has 7976 current installs and 67343 total installs, runs on amazon ec2 (free tier) and s3 for image storage.

Instead of just shutting it down, I thought maybe someone might be willing to take it as their own and improve it.

If anyone's interested, please make an offer. Thanks.

> 5.Cool, I will take a look at them, I haven't been too sure on save options. The initial idea was that developers wanted to save something they could then send to a PM who could load the same thing make changes and maybe send back.

To me (and I am no usability expert so, ya know, 'grain of salt' and all that), this sounds more like an "Export" operation than a "Save" operation. I agree with the parent that localStorage or IndexedDB would be good, and combining one of them with auto-save would be even better. Perhaps the 'Save' button in the menu could then be changed to 'Export' or something?

EDIT:

Also, the use of localStorage could make this 'todo' from the README partly obsolete:

> online persistence if there was demand. this does however mean accounts which isn't cool but maybe the notion of guest accounts and persistent accounts whereby multiple boards could be saved.

LocalStorage wouldn't enable a user to get their boards from anywhere, but could help, as the parent says, with the 'oops i closed my browser' case.

Lots of Android users who bought Play-licensed Android devices make do without access to Play Store, as you can only get access if you link your Google account to your Android device. There are other free to use app stores and most FOSS apps have apk downloads available.
This makes sense for projects, but how does it work for the perpetual parts of running a business. Who takes care of payroll, tax filing, keeping the infrastructure running, etc.?

Are these perpetual, "projects?"

As others have pointed out, $3B is not a small amount of money.

Also, most of the money spent in the drug war doesn't go through the DEA.

For example, DEA doesn"t run prisons. It costs about $50000 to keep someone in prison. We have about 3 million prisoners in the US. Suppose only 10% of them are in prison for drug offenses. That's about $15 billion/year. Pencils out to $50/year for each US citizen. So about $200/year per taxpayer.

Think a little and you won't have trouble finding other sources of waste. Wasted police time. Lost productivity of the imprisoned. Truancy among children with missing fathers.

Personally, I'd rather give the $200 to a harm reduction program.

Not really actually. With the free community edition, you only get to manage "java" which doesn't work for me since i work with different programming languages with lots of front-end stuff as well.

>> The money saved (of which there will be plenty) is in hundreds, even thousands, of small pools across all levels of government, all of which are perpetually money-starved, and it will be gone like dew on a summer morning before you'll get anywhere near it.

Naive response - well excellent, by the sounds of it we've just freed up a whole bunch of funds in all sorts of areas for all sorts of other important stuff.

More cynical response - government waste and perpetual hunger for more cash is a constant and something else we should be fighting anyway.

Either way, I'm of the opinion that even if all the money disappeared off into a vacuum, the WoD is counterproductive. Even if we kept paying the DEA to just hang around and scratch its collective butt all day, we'd be making a positive change to society by stopping all action in the pointless 'war'.
i think its quite well established that space and time break down as approximations at the small scale.

i also think that gravity is interesting because in GR there really isn't such a thing - its an artefact of the geometry of space and time - because of how we perceive the passing of time.

i'm not sure exactly how time would fall out of gravity... afaik the quantum mechanical descriptions usually break the magic trick of GR and make it into a graviton field, which depends on some background time.

i do wonder why we pursue theories which our existing theories show to be unlikely to be fundamental... thinking about the limits, near the planck scale we find that it is impossible to tell if an event is before or after, or if a thing is one or two things, or if its seperated in x or y... the simple conclusion imo is that space and time are approximations that are useful at everyday scales, but have no physical reality.

> it's still not that easy to start your own company

So maybe the people that do so want to get rewarded for all the risk they are taking, and don't want to give equal shares and votes to the people who come later?

I know it's not what you meant, but it's very easy to start your own company, legally at least, at least in places like the US and UK.

Your body generally prevents you from drinking too much water, and from eating too much food, etc. Besides, water and food is a necessity while heroin is not (far from it, almost no one will ever need it).

And that's what the person above meant: it's not the highly addictive or the easily lethal nature of heroin that is a problem, but the combination of both. Most things that combine these two attributes are illegal.

However, I go agree that there is a problem with the fact that it is so addictive that making it illegal makes things worse because of low quality products. Doesn't undermine the point of the post above though. In an ideal world, no one would try to get heroin.

I'm not the person you're replying to, but there are my comments.

1. Skip any modals. First time users don't care about loading configuration, and current users don't care about it that often that it merits such prominent placing. Have sensible defaults, and load them automatically.

1a. Sensible defaults are hard to achieve :) Measure user activity and see how people *actually* use the product, and extract your default behaviour from that.

1b. There is already a "load" link at the menu, that's enough for users to load config later.

2. Have you ever used Trello? They serve a similar purpose, and have a nice solution to this: the bottom of a column ("list", in their parlance) is clickable, to create a new card.

3. FWIW, I've grown to expect a small gear on the top-right as being the menu, and end up always clicking there when I'm looking for something I can't immediately find on the main interface.

4. There is no #4 :)

5. You could also check into external services that provide a save api, such as Google Drive or Dropbox. Localstorage would be cool, but my usage pattern includes accessing from different devices, and having the data saves somewhere externally accessible is crucial.

6. Undo. Have undo. You can completely forget about confirmation if you have undo. It's not trivial to implement, but man. Have undo :)

And congratulations, it's a cool product :)

BTW: grandparent, I'll look at that book as well, thanks :)

IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio FAQ: http://bit.ly/1d7U0Kg

Q: Is Android Studio a fork of IntelliJ IDEA?

A: No. Android Studio and the Android plugin for IntelliJ IDEA are built from the same code, and all of the changes in Android Studio are, and will continue to be, available in IntelliJ IDEA releases.
It could also be the low frequency signal problem.

If you're driving in New York City, there are constantly people trying to jump in front of you. Out in the burbs you'll hardly ever see someone walking, so if someone walks in front of you, you may have zoned out and failed to detect it in time.
Well, the biggest problem for me, as a brazilian, is that the illegal drugs trade here allows the drug lords to have so much wealth to be able to corrupt so many people (police, judges, politicians) and afford so many weapons (military assault weapons, grenades, RPGs -- yes, they have been known to down a police helicopter or two).
This far outweighs the problem of having a minority of people getting addicted to crack. Let's use this money to treat them.
Congrats ! I like the lightweight minimalist approach. The email feature is really neat ! A reason why I tried but stoped using trello, asana or others is because I thought it was overkill for early stages, and all we needed was a todo list inside a mail, but the mail clients doesn't make it easy and practical...

I agree with the feedback on the menu, and the possibility to rearrange the items in the same column.

Version 13 is very awesome. We've been finishing our intellij plugin and are so close to having it be usable that it could be user ready in like 2 days which will be awesome because then I can spend more time using the new intellij. I'm also glad they fixed the git colors in the Darkula theme.

> Some of them have done pretty well.

So you retract your earlier statement? :p

> they would have outcompeted traditional companies.

50 years is a very short time for a few companies to out-compete the tradition of the world. Companies from a few hundred years ago had horrific human rights abuses; only now do we see the general attitude being supportive enough of ethical issues to actually dissuade companies from going down that path, and even today this is only a minor effect.

> rewarded for all the risk they are taking

Then perhaps we also need ways of founding a company that doesn't need all the risk to be taken on by a few people.
You can outsource payroll, general accounting and tax stuff fairly easily. Serviced offices give you rooms, desks, chairs, someone to answer the phone, toilets, kitchens, physical security etc.
After getting his hands on a Chromebook Pixel, the father of Linux said:

THANK YOU GOOGLE

With the web as a platform, Chrome deserves all the attention on HN. I do not even understand where your animosity comes from, when reading your post. None of your is even specific to Chrome OS. It would hold true for any fridge or toaster with embedded Linux. Yup, those are consumption-centric as well. In fact, I am a consumer too. Shoot me.

As for attacking the Linux community: Sparked by Android and ChromeOS, Google has soared into the top 10 of Linux contributors and seems very committed to keep Linux healthy.
i thought every action was spooky and at a distance?

if you drop down to the smallest scales you can't tell if two things are in contact. i'm inclined to think that an infinitesemally continuous universe is an approximation we use to make the math 'easier' - in fact so are space and time - and even countability.

our best theories indicate that at small scales you can't actually tell if things are separated or not - or even if there are one or two - or even if events happen first or second.

thinking about a tiny 'almost a black hole' clock on the planck scale can reveal this very quickly with only the most basic of QM, SR and GR relations... below a certain tick rate it will collapse into a black hole and stop working, or the uncertainty effects will smear out the results so that you can't tell which tick comes first, or the error in the ticks exceeds the length of the ticks. in essense space and time are unmeasurable in the context of semi-classical QFT + GR theories

I hear you, IDEA is awesome but quite heavy, most IDEs are today as they are built on languages that run on vms. I tend to have one heavy IDE and a lightweight text editor opened at the same time. That's the best solution.
hey mhsutton,

Thanks for the feedback, yeah I was happy to get something done that I am happy to use and share. My idea has been to create something easy enough for people to use and customize and make their own.

Yeah the loading config modal seems to have thrown a couple, that was another comment that was made. Someone also suggested maybe ditching the intro modal and just letting people discover for themselves.

as per the menu, thank you for that, that's been brought up and I'm thinking based on other feedback of moving the menu items into the header so you don't have to open and close it. the tab was something else I created as a UI component and I guess I just wanted to have a go at using it in real world environment.

I had used trello quite some time ago but couldn't remember it and I guess the thing I like with tyto is that I don't need an account and its just a simple UI. My main thing was to implement whilst learning and brushing up on some tech using templating languages like handlebars.

Thanks again for the feedback and I'll look at moving the menu.
I feel like that wouldn't send a great message about the quality of the product.It would probably be better for Nest if they had some sort of reliable failsafe you could easily access to make it much dumber.

>If that was true, this guy would have predicted that Bitcoin would reach 1000 USD 6 months ago and be awesomely rich.

For one, not every estimation is equally possible at all times. As I wrote above, "given enough information". Also, some things (like the eventual failure of something) might be easier to estimate than others (price spikes). If I spin a spin top toy I can easily predict it will reach a rest state, but not what it's movements will be before that.

Second, he might had invested in bitcoin, for all we know.

Third, he might be incompetent in his predictions -- which only speaks about him, and says nothing about if it's possible to estimate the supply and demand of something (and thus it's eventual price).

Biotech has different rules. Investments tend to be much larger but the Vc's get a larger percentage. It's probably fairer and more straightforward than what happens to most web startups, where the initial take is a small percentage but the Vc's demand rapid growth and risk-taking. (That is, I'd rather the VC's take 90% upfront for $100 million than take 20% but ensure, by how they manage the company and the risks they force me to take, that they get 90% of the upside in the end.)
