Top reasons why teams fail with acceptance testing
I facilitated an openspace session on acceptance testing and collaboration between business people, developers and testers at CITCON Europe last week. We started with a list of five common reasons why I’ve seen teams fail with acceptance testing but added five more during the discussion, so here’s an expanded top 10 list...

After looking at the actual site, the worst thing about it turns out to be the logo. Seriously, the two squids holding tentacles is one of the most disturbing SFW images I've seen in a while.

Anyways, I don't see anything about this that's as horribly unethical as the picture the article is trying to paint. It's certainly not as bad as the Get Satisfaction fiasco, where GS was doing everything short of directly claiming to be an official support channel for companies that had no affiliation. This is just a lame aggregation with a lamer business model. I'm more disappointed in Seth for a lack of creativity, style, and value.
To determine if you have reactive hypoglycemia you go through something called a 5 hour GTT (Glucose Tolerance Test), which is hell if you really do have the disorder. Essentially you fast after drinking a sugary drinks, and they test your blood at intervals to see what it does. A Reactive Hypoglycemic will spike, then crash, unlike a normal person who will have a smaller rise then pretty much stay there. See, she normally has to eat ridiculously healthy food every 2 hours to stay even, otherwise she crashes.

It starts with cold sweats, then degenerates into nausea, confusion and a rotten mood. It never gets that bad with her anymore, we have a good system going now. When she is upset about something the first thing I ask is: when's the last time you ate?

If you want to know more about it, check out her site: http://www.reactivehypoglycemia.info/articles/
Apologies for the slightly off topic comment: Whats the 5th rendering engine? Text only, like lynx? Or mobile phone browsers? Or am I missing a popular one? I'm counting WebKit (Safari, Chrome), Trident (IE), Gecko (Firefox) and Presto (Opera). What am I missing?

Thanks!

I wonder what SQL Server Web Edition is and how it is different from regular SQL Server - is it non-relational?

And how is Windows Web Server different from regular Windows Server - can't you install Apache or IIS on any Windows?
Bemoans Lily, "You don't start out in music with the Ferraris. Instead you get a huge debt from your record company, which you spend years working your arse off to repay. When you manage to get a contract, all those pretty videos and posters advertising your album have to be paid for and as the artist, you have to pay for them. I've only just finished paying off all the money I owe my record company. I'm lucky that I've been successful and managed to pay it back, but not everyone's so lucky."

Isn't that the whole problem? That the (rapidly disintegrating) status quo is more about financing, marketing and controlled distribution than it is about music? Technology has made most of this redundant. High quality recording equipment is within anyone's grasp. Marketing and distribution cost nothing but savvy and persistence. The piracy phenomenon hasn't arisen through tight-fisted teens not wanting to pay for goods. It has arisen because the middleman, despite realizing himself redundant, is refusing to let go of the goose.

There's nothing new about the US economy being highly dependent on the military. It's after all a news sites here. This article I submitted is news, it's a new way of "business".

Looking at the site I'd say they've definitely run it past a TM and Copyright lawyer. That site is slick as scumbags, IMO - disclaimers abound from the trademark disclaimer front-and-centre to the "we didn't aggragate this Google did" subtitles.

Neat. I worked on a computer vision version of the same general concept. My version took into account 3-D information and also supported spin ("english").

You wouldn't, but if your brand is big enough you don't have a choice. It's just a new way to blackmail businesses - as if you went to a corp and said "I'm creating an advert about you that's going to show in all your Google searches, pay me enough and I'll make it friendly, don't pay and we'll make sure everyone hates you".
Facebook in text tagging feature introduced, very similar to twitter tags
"You are, of course, entitled to your opinion."

Thank you, very kind of you. I thought you rather assume that I am not entitled to it. Thus you try to subdue it by voting it down and telling me not to submit stuff like that. You are really very generous.

"Ignoring my comment on the healthcare post (which I only did because you submitted a bunch of them in a reasonably short space of time and the HN gimmick was too good to pass up)"

Are you some kind of weird stalker or something voting everything down of mine or on a particular topic? Get a life then. Btw. I wouldn't need to resubmit stuff when people wouldn't block it from being seen. People who like to decide what others are allowed to see should work as censors for China but stop policing democratic communities.

"the vast majority of submissions and votes, is very tech startup oriented"

Yes, indeed it is, which sometimes gets a little boring. HN is not strictly a niche topical community it deals with everything hackers might interest so please let the hackers themselves decide, here 6 of them did. I don't see a problem with the occasional non-Ruby, TechCrunch or startup article.

"You are free to disagree"

Thank you again for this generosity but it's not something you allow me to do, I have the same right to voice my opinion here as you do.

P.S.: Ever since I'm on the Web (1997) people like you always shouted "off topic". In most cases where they succeeded the places they did it on died off due to their topical limitations as the subjects evolved.
80-20 Gives You Wings
The Internet brings the 80-20 rule to new heights - giving rise to great websites such as Aviary.com
Way too little. Way too late. I fail to see how this could be of interest to anyone, certainly not to anyone not already on the Microsoft stack.
Who is this guy anyways? I saw lots of submits to his blogs on HN and other sites, but they seemed short, shallow and uninteresting, so I figured they were posted because Seth Godin is some kind of authority, not because they were so good posts. But I never figured out when and how he became such an authority.

Guinness celebrates 250 years of stout brewing today
I got together with a couple of friends who are also technology company founders and started a podcast. It's a roundtable discussion of issues facing company founders in whatever stage they find themselves. I'm building a product on the side but the other two participants have established companies in two different areas - casual game development and developer tools.

This is the "pilot" episode and is presented without editing. Think of it as the alpha release. We'll be doing Episode 1 soon.

Cool Things You Can Do with Shared EBS Snapshots
I agree in the sense that Iraq is current affairs... though invading armies often rewarded useful locals, when setting up client states. (Recently, I saw "Terry Jones' Barbarians," which depicted an instance when this went disastrously wrong for the Roman Empire in the city I'm currently living in... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Jones%27_Barbarians)
I'd say we can expect a sudden surge of augmented reality apps over the next, maybe, two years. It should be pretty interesting! What I like about these is that they use readily available consumer devices - it was waiting to happen, of course, but it took a bit. Personally, I would love to see more stuff done with audio though, something I worked on in uni.

There are some people who would send your typical HR bunny screaming from the interview in panic, yet would perform very well if you could just lock them in a room and push food and energy drinks under the door. Take my father-in-law (please!!), the Asperger's poster child. Here's a guy who can fix any kind of mechanical or electrical device (making his own parts and tools if necessary) and can explain in horrifically painful detail how just about everything in the universe works, but talks and talks and talks (mostly about himself) from the moment he wakes up till the moment he falls asleep. A great guy in many ways. A genius even. But a complete failure (and a real nuisance) in social interactions. In the right setting he'd be a high value employee, in the wrong setting he could destroy an organization.
I got it from another posting right before mine. I'm sorry I offended you and your beloved coding sensei.

Just because people disagree does not mean they censor you. Furthermore, freedom of speech is not guaranteed on this site. Basically, you can only say stuff on pg's terms and his terms include the flagging process available to all.

6 people upvoted, more have flagged it. That's not a single person "subduing" you, that's people deciding they don't think this submission is the kind of stuff they want to see on HN. That's their right. But as a "social media power user" you knew that right? Right?

Ruby Exceptions And Exception Handling
I feel bad dissin' her, since the whole Internet's dissed her by now, but let me throw in the fact that she only became famous when her first album's tracks leaked online, because that's the killer for me.
That was pretty much my thought; "how is this not going to be drowned in spam?" (they even have an API I think)

Presumably they're fairly confident in their ability to filter spam and to automatically rank such comments fairly low, but I can't help feeling that this will still be contingent on enough high-quality contributions, ie enough serious uptake. I suppose we'll see soon enough.
The point is for Seth to make money.

"I come to HN because I find interesting and RELEVANT news"

Exactly. You don't contribute much of value though with your zero submissions. People who only manage to criticize others while using the community resources and not contributing to those should not try to teach others who do contribute regularly. Try to find some relevant stories first to share and then tell me how you do it not before you even tried.
good idea. i think we need more of experience sharing. The alpha status is clear when listening to it, but it will likely disapear as you practice.

5 Questions for A StartUp Accelerator
Hm, and where am I on this scale?

I am pretty convinced that there are two types of events, those I can control and those I cannot control. I cannot control idiots in cars, so I cannot control if someone runs me over on my way to university, killing or crippling me, so I cannot control this change of my live.

However, I can certainly control that I get a good university degree and become a good developer and get to know people (even though this is always a hard internal struggling for some strongly introverted person like me).

But I guess, overall I agree with this article, which coincides with my basic principles (basically everything boiling down to: Failure is progress. Make things better or fail trying.), so yeah. With those remarks: good article :)
One year on, Android's not quite there yet
To my knowledge the "web" editions (used them before, briefly) are just trimmed down fluff removed copies. They're built specifically for serving web content and don't have quite as many services and features installed as you would expect from a server meant to be say, an AD domain.

I may be slightly off here, but this was my understanding of it.

One trend I see is towards more specialization i.e,. less big blocks as you go to the right.

It's neat to see how farming has gone from a major percentage of workers to almost nothing. I kept hoping to see some big block of jobs in our time that could go away in the next 100 years. But nothing jumped out at me.

Didn't think of the Google searches. Still, it seems only suckers would pay up.
Great opportunity, poor execution.

Big companies are concerned about their image. The net does change how PR is done, and no-one yet knows how to do it. So making that problem managable is an important contribution. Let's be clear: for a big company, $400 pcm is a rounding error for PR expense. The real question is whether that expense will actually do them any good. And so we move to execution:

The info on the actual pages is not helpful. There's no way to get a sense of "what is being said". It's almost as confusing as trying to get the info by browsing the net. I think a solution would be something like "google trends/news for social media". For example, amazon's PR problem isn't apparent at all: http://www.squidoo.com/amazon-in-public In fact, it looks like mostly amazon PR. For it to be taken seriously, the raw information needs to be clear and neutral (like Google not having pay-for-placement search results).

But the biggest problem is whether anyone will actually look at these pages, apart from PR departments. Consumers don't use brands like that. Before you buy a Coke, do you usually have the urge to see how their branding is going? Possibly, bloggers/reporter will use it, and will see the PR response at the same time, and therefore it helps disseminate the company's message.

But the problem/opportunity is real, and this suggests a startup: a google-for-brands. The technical challenge is to work out how to extract the relevant, valuable information; the marketing challenge is to get known (e.g. quoted by bloggers, by news services). Then, you can work out a way to charge for it. Perhaps like a Gallup poll; or a newswire service.
The iPhone Development Story: One Year Later
I guess my response to that is filtered because I don't believe in an interventionist God, but you make two good points.

Firstly, that an open mind (about anything - I made an analogy to Pascal's Wager but didn't introduce God into the discussion) is important. So often "I know" means "I say No" to possibility.

Secondly, I was initially inclined to think that giving God some agency in one's life defeats the initial argument I wanted to make about choice and power in life. On reflection, if you do believe in a God that can influence your reality, and believe you can communicate with her, then it's just another way of choosing dreams / goals and working to create them, and feeling like an important part of the whole universe.

Because the .NET framework actually is a nice development environment? Especially with MVC?

I'm interested in it, as I am forced to use VB @ work (no, I don't like VB, I'd much rather use C# on the .NET platform, and I do when I do personal dev with .NET) and honestly, I have yet to find a development environment quite as nice as what VS offers.

I think it offers a great way for developers who work as cogs to enhance their sidebusiness and cut their costs, I do a lot of work on multiple platforms, but I've considered signing up and pushing some clients towards .NET because it's a rich development environment and now actually cheap enough to do small sites with on the side.
Interesting.

I tend to just build stuff myself from source and use GNU stow. I'm amazed I hear so little about stow, it's so useful.

I just configure with a prefix arg of something like /usr/local/stow/package-version, then use stow to install in /usr/local/{bin,etc,lib} etc. etc. Works equally well in one's home directory, which is what I used to do at work.

AggData: Datasets created from scraping the web
I agree with you in principle but not in practice. Yes, feel-good bulshit is bad, yes, people should study more, etc. I just don't think you would really like to breed a country full of tied-down people trained to death to repeat and worship whatever it is they learned at school.

I tend to think of myself as intelligent enough, and I know for sure that I would never survive school with drilled exercises and a classical education (I find most of the classic authors dull and naive; latin is an overrated language; the greek philosophers, specially, only sound smart when read with tons of allowances like one reads the bible). Also, any sort of education focused on getting exercises and drills "right" without discussion will only breed conformists and people without creativity.

I don't know. The way it sounds to me is that there is a worship of some sorts of classical culture and discipline that I find deplorable. What I would change in american schooling would be: more geography, real history (without turning famous people such as the founding fathers or Ben Franklin or Abe Lincoln into mythological images and instead studying them in their socio-political context with all flaws included), less emphasis on pseudo-cultural non-academic activities (debating club, etc) in admissions office.

I won't argue that it's perfect for Web Development. However, from the offer, it seems to point at having the free software host (in production) your website. If your business grows where you need additional products or services that expand beyond this offer, you must upgrade if you decide to stick within the Microsoft framework.

There is no "unlock" functionality to go from Web Edition to anything else -- you must format and reload. It's one of the features to help upsell customers to purchase Standard/Enterprise from the beginning.
