As someone who has a product in this space, some thoughts/ideas:

* Not everyone bills hourly. Include daily and weekly rates.

* It took me a while to figure out how to add a project when wanting to create a time log. Maybe have a "Quick Add" option in the projects dropdown?

* Include currency support. I've found that a lot more companies than I expected price in multiple currencies.

* The "Add Manual" time function could be a little more prominent. Not everyone will want to use a timer.

Best of luck!

Following an incorrect tutorial that is supposed to bestow security is as useful as following ritualistic acts intended to bestow wealth.

What would you do if you lead Microsoft on mobile in 2004?
A couple of days ago, Steve Ballmer expressed his regrets of mobile strategy :“ We would have a stronger position in the phone market today, for example, if I could redo last ten years. ” That is an interesting question. Now think about this: if you were leading the Microsoft on 2004, what would you do?

Here is my answer: (because the characters limit, I will continue in comments)
Obviously we need a new mobile system, but DO NOT bundle it with a new PC system. Win7 is an infrequent beloved edition, it would have a long product life cycle. And the N-in-one notion does not have any market attractive factors: If I am using a PC without touchable screen, so how could the Metro's cool color squares help me?

Now figure out the true advantage of MS they accumulated in past decades. The answer : the programs and games users rely on to live every day, and the enormous user data, like documents, photos, videos.If you are an elder pc game player, you would know that people always want to play their beloved old games on new windows system. Thousands and thousands hard disks were only sold to stuff with videos and audios.

So that is the point: the new mobile system must take advantage of the programs and files which they already owned on their PC. The good news is: if the mobile and PC system both are marked with widows brand, it would be much easier to connect them together for MS.

First create a Resource share center, including PC, phone and pad, to provide a convenient way to access and distribute user's photos ,films and so on. Any devices once get the privilege of the share system could freely check the resources in the system ,yet the very data file may locate in another device's disk.

Try to visualize such scenes: when you must break from watching film on PC - eg. WC - take the phone with you ,and go to the share center ,check the recent play history, click it and continue the viewing experience. Or book : view PDFs on the PC from a pad, and all the bookmarks and reading process are automatically synchronized.And the browser, synchronize opening tabs of different devices. The chrome has provided a solution based on cloud, but it is not quick and robust enough. The solution mainly using LAN of family and work space would be more efficient and economical.

Then it is the programs' turn.Look back to the unbelievable success of the ios app store, the fact is more unbelievable : Why did MS not set up their own software store in the past dacades? There were so many popular programs running on windows, they could be sold with the windows system CD, or even pre-installed in PC, just leaving users the choice option.

Now is the time to utilize MS's big influence on software market. Ask the public to vote for matches like <the most useful software for you><What is your most expected PC program on mobile>, find the top developers on windows platform.For years most of these creative smart guys have not received reasonable rewards - even nothing at all. Provide them with consistent system environment and develop tools, they might find the old resouce codes in corners of harddisk and reuse them.

The further strategy is: encourage PC and mobile work cooperatively.For example, use phone as a controller when PC plays PPT.Let clever developers find more ways, MS's work is to prepare robust communicating API. The idea of surface - substitution for both PC and pad - is totally wrong. You should peddle a PC, then a phone, pad in addition, and all run windows on them.

So what is your opinion?
“We can have so much fun with this,” the co-founder of LocoMobi, Barney Pell, who is also its chairman, said. “Imagine knowing that people who park here also park there – you’ve found the nearby stores, their affinities. You could advertise to them, offer personalized services, provide ‘passive loyalty’ points that welcome them back to an area.”

Even if you're 100% ethically OK with this for a business to do, that's a really fucked up definition of fun.
Which technically should be sorted out through the market price. Ethanol is only viable when corn is cheap, which is only reached when supply greatly exceeds demand. However, then you run into people not liking their jobs tied to the random fluctuations of the corn market.

I think this was on HN earlier too. It's slightly different from what I had in mind, however; generating and then running Asm from Lisp is not quite the same as being able to embed instructions inside any function that manipulate the contents of lists directly, which can be easily done in C/C++.

> The result: thousands of customers in 11 cities watching broadcast TV -- the most popular channels on television -- at a fraction of the subscription price of a cable or satellite package (monthly Aereo fees are as low as $8). But those customers are in jeopardy of losing their service.

This is the heart of the issue, isn't it? Aereo can provide this service for so cheap because it's using someone else's content for free. They don't themselves create or provide anything users actually want to buy--they just distribute the work of other people, and do so without compensating the people who created the products that are actually in demand.

I don't really buy Aereo's claim that somehow this implicates cloud computing. Lawyers and technologists can argue about how Aereo's array of individual antennas interacts with the public performance aspects of the Copyright Act, but I think ordinary users wouldn't view Aereo as a "cloud computing service" akin to Drop Box, but simply a website where they can stream TV shows for very cheap (ala Hulu).

Theory: Wearable tech (hardware) company is a software company
No, it's not automatic. You just start a task, work on it and stop it when you're done. How an automatic solution that you use actually works? Does it track usage time for all apps?
That title, does not need a comma.
It's not just about whether it is possible in theory though. I'm sure it is, but if it's too complicated, it won't see adoption. The point I was making is that expressibility isn't just important in your programming language, it's important for your verification scheme as well.

Which tech books are on your list that are not how to, manual or instructional?

They can be fiction or non-fiction.
But that is exactly the point I'm trying to make. A coach won't be able to do a dribble (soccer) or sprint for the header goal, the same way a manager shouldn't be writing the unit tests or OAuth login, but both are involved in their fields and don't magically forget the rules of the sport or what OOP is.

I'm not advocating that bad managers should learn through google, but if you were a good developer and didn't program for 10 years, if the time came to decide between TDD or BDD for the project (though that should be a Team Lead or CTO job, not a PM) he should be able to brush up quickly. Maybe not decide if you should use Shoulda or xUnit or whatever, but have a general picture of what the developers they are managing are talking about.

I have no qualms with profanity, but I admit I had a negative reaction when I saw "fuck" so prominently leveraged in a blog post about company culture.

For someone who wants to have a certain level of professional decorum at work, the use of "fuck" in your CEO's blog post about your company's culture would certainly be exclusionary.

It's also quite likely to drive away even-tempered contributors in favor of a "bro" audience.

>The author attacks blog posts that state the current best-practices

No, I'm attacking the fact that people blingly follow blog posts that have been, at some point, what their author believed were best practices.

> But then goes on to recommend several books that are even more out of date than the blog posts.</cite>

Which is fine, as long as they are read for what they are supposed to be: Either introductions or specializing on a specific topic. I wouldn't have chosen them otherwise.

> Second, instead of allowing sysadmins to find and follow simple, well-researched best-practices, the author instead wants each person to thoroughly research the annals of cryptography in order to then come to their 'own' conclusion

It is up to your own self-conception as a sysadmin as to how deep you want to dive. When interviewing (non-junior grade) sysadmins, I challenge them on security knowledge just as much as other skills. And I know I'm not alone with that. A certain degree of security awareness is not a "nice to have" typoe additional skill. It's vital for everyone that has machines connected to the internet. How far he/she can dive is solely limited by the economics and time constrains. Which is why sensible defaults are needed from vendors and distros (see my other response).

> Most sysadmins won't do this.

Which is a real problem, and again, there should be some effort remedying this, but currently there isn't. That's why I plea to sit down and at least learn about the basics. What "the basics" are obviously depends greatly on your educational background, but if AES, RC4 and PFS do not ring a bell, and you are a professional sysadmin who runs SSL-secured web servers, you are not worth your money.

> (this why you're always told not to roll your own cryptography)

Nobody said anything about rolling your own cryptography. But if you at least have read one of Ivan's books, you can at least make a /qualified decision/ on how credible a config proposed in a "random blog post" is, without having to come up with the complete solution by yourself.

> find the current best practices from a reputable source (like Qualys) and use those.

Which is ok -- if you run a small setup and you at least use SSLLabs to verify your setup. The more responsibility you have, and the more security is required, the more you should dive in and have a qualified opinion on how your SSL/TLS setup should look like.
Some screenshots, workflow would be nice to have before I sign up. I sort of get what it does, but not quite. I do however appreciate the brevity of the site. Not much BS, straight and to the point.

I was tempted to try it out just to see what it was. I'm not sure if the lack of product info will encourage more people to try your product. But ultimately you'll have to figure out how it affects conversions

As my comment may already suggest, I did not try the product. I wasn't sure about how much of a pain it would be to set up just to try it and then realize it's not something I'm looking for. Hope the feedback helps!
Are Pro Wrestlers Dying at an Unusual Rate?
I believe they are on to something but I'd suggest looking at an existing model that has been around for decades, specifically the Moose, Lions, Masons, Rotary, American Legion and many others.

These clubs put you into a community. When my father-in-law comes to visit he usually goes to the American Legion down the street, that's his Breather spot. My dad would visit other Lions clubs when he was travelling out of town.

I'd suggest looking into how clubs operate. When I travel I would really like to have something between AirBNB and the Moose Lodge. Something that is...

1) Members only. It's a casual membership that includes a yearly fee to weed out people that are likely to trash the place.

2) Open to multiple members. This might be contradictory to where they are going but as a traveller I don't mind a few other travellers around me. I just don't want to be in a coffee house. I could stand 3 or 4 other people if there was enough room. Instead of saying "You are blocking off this room for X hours" make it an option. If you want exclusive privacy then you must rent the room for a minimum of 4 hours @ $25 an hour. Otherwise it's first-come-first-serve with a limit of X people depending on size. The more members the lower the hourly rate (spread it between them).

Neat idea.
I've been using this for a while. I usually go to curl if I need to do any really heavy work but it's a handy quick tool.

I need to track my work time to get a measure of how much should I bill my clients and to get statistics about the work I do while "freelancing", but I really don't like time trackers.

I tried to use Freckle but I always forgot to start the timer or to stop it.

So one day I had the idea to mix the concept of the Pomodoro Technique time management with usual time trackers and Tomatoes[1] born.

Tomatoes is a open source web-based time tracker that helps you track your time while optimizing your time and keeping you productive using the Pomodoro Technique. It really helped me a lot.

I don't think it's a "market failure" so much as people not being willing to accept that "Sorry, today the value for the corn you painstakingly grew is close to $0", and they've been told since at least the '30s that the Federal government will take care of them (well, back then, it would if they were Democrats).

The New Deal policies, BTW, both raised food prices while the same USDA (US Department of Agriculture) estimated 25% of the population was malnourished, which was confirmed by the WWII draft. Which lead to the Federal school lunch program, which was eventually widely extended to breakfast, and now even dinner I hear in some places.

Pretty much the same reasoning, I was genuinely expecting Google to come up with something manufacturers would adopt, and other than an eventual high end actual Apple TV for it to be pretty much everywhere. Especially because there's a big crossover (Samsung, Sony, LG) between mobile and TV manufacturers. I really don't see myself buying a smart TV in the current market, seems like such a missed opportunity.

I regularly book from Kayak, and I like their predictor.

A sensitivity setting would be nice. For example, when it says the fare is likely to increase in the next few days, does that mean increase by $40 or increase by $140? I'm more likely to give up a probable saving of $40 to be comfortable in knowing my flight is finally booked, but I would wait if it's $140. I imagine everyone's tolerance is different, which is why the sensitivity setting would be nice.
can you create and send invoices to clients through this?
Your test is intended to convey to the reader that your function does addition and provide an example of how to access that function. The functional part of the test is to verify that your claim is true, rather than the stories of yore when the documentation often didn't match what the code actually did.

As a nice side effect, when you refactor your function in the future and you mistakenly turn it into multiplication, the test will give you a sanity check that you meant for it to do addition. Perhaps not a big deal in your contrived example, but is huge in the real world where functions are not quite so simple.

Testing is not for verifying a function is mathematically correct.
Ah, but finding equivalence classes of states is quite tricky! Obviously the naive approach of enumerating states and assigning them to equivalence classes is dead on arrival. You might be hinting at examining control flow predicates with your example. This technique is called predicate abstraction and underlies a lot of the SLAM effort. It works in certain scenarios - A statement which more or less captures the state of the field itself.
