Crappy t-shirt designs. I have a bunch of random shirt designs (I am no designer, just made some mediocre SVGs with funny ideas I had in Inkscape), and sell them on the German spreadshirt marketplace, makes about 20 Euros/month.

Most of them trivially translate to the English-speaking market, I should really do that. Does anyone have a hint where the best place to sell 'low-end' t-shirt designs in the US is?
You make a prototype by cobbling stuff together and show off the user interaction points, not by making a finished product or by dealing with FCC/UL/CE/etc. This will likely cost a few thousand USD worth of parts/assembly/tools/etc if you are counting your time as free (but could be done for less if you already have a decent amount of electronics around).

Once your idea has been validated with potential customers, then you start designing. If you will have low sales numbers (ie: 10k or less/year) then look for having high value and high margins (few hundred dollar price and 50% gross margins). If you will have high sales numbers (100k+ or 1M+ per year) then you can get down below the $100 price point and lower your margins somewhat (but I suggest staying above 25% gross margin).

Expect that your BOM (bill of materials) for the electronics parts, when priced at your yearly volume pricing, will be 1/3 of the cost of your product. Then add your margin to get the sale price. If you're selling retail, account for 25-50% margin for the retailers in addition to your margin (so customer may pay 3x what it costs you to build the product for).

Regarding eInk screens, going to large sizes (ie: Kindle DX range) is going to cost you a lot for the screen. Assume Amazon make very little profit on Kindle devices and you're in the ball park for how much their BOM costs them. Your competition for electronic picture frames are under $100 sale price retail, so I suggest you focus on differentiation so that customers aren't comparing your product to the <$100 picture frames if you want to be successful.

Also, 'yummyfajitas criticizes or disagrees with male people all the time too. It's only natural, if you omit vapid posts of agreement from your repertoire, that you're always going to be seen disagreeing with and criticizing people.

Edit: Oh, I see that you've made these inane responses to yummyfajitas before. We can see an analog in your past comment:

> You don't create as much discussion going the other way - there are no posts from you askng why society accepts most corporate boards having no women or asking why society accepts discrimination against people with Arab sounding names. All your questions are about why it's okay to discriminate against white males in these kinds of programmes.

And yummyfajitas's reply:

> No one on HN is defending discrimination against people with Arab sounding names.

Perhaps the same sort of observation might be found on this axis of discussion?

And this isn't the first time you've made some metacommentary aboutq yummyfajitas's posting history. This time it's "hatred of women", last time it was racism. What are you gonna try next time?

Hi hosay123,

The App Engine team has a proactive policy about posting about downtime:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/google-appengine-dow...

Since the team highlights basically anything that looks like it is impacting customers, the issues don't always warrant a stand-alone blog post, but you'll notice that generally speaking the last post in each thread is a full public post-mortem with diagnosis and remediation.

Let me know if there's more you think might be useful for you as a GAE customer. Thanks!
Even stepping back from this teaching aspect and into the abstract, making essentially mid-level staff employees responsible for factors that are well out of their control and above their pay grade is the sign of an unhealthy business. As a developer, is it my responsibility when product drops the ball or the business mis-invests its money and goes under? Teachers play a very important role in a child's development, and there are rockstar teachers that will truly turn a child's life around and put it on a different trajectory than where it would have been otherwise. But it's not in their job description to be able to do that for every child, regardless of how seriously they take THEIR job of being a student, or a parent's job of raising a child that is prepared for the real world.

Checkout http://deis.io/ and follow the Heroku buildpack instructions to take some of the headache out of all the DevOps questions that Dockerfiles etc might pose if you are just a humble web developer. Deis run's on CoreOS which is an excellent base OS that requires you to use Docker. CoreOS upgrades automatically in the background too.

Deis is a fully opensource PaaS inspired by Heroku. You can dip your toe in the water by spinning up a Deis cluster and then just following the Heroku inspired/compatible workflow described in the Deis docs. When you are ready to experiment Deis let's you use Dockerfiles instead of a Heroku inspired workflow.

Once you have your Deis cluster up you might even want to sidestep it entirely and run Docker containers directly on your CoreOS cluster.

Deis can be used with Vagrant and VirtualBox and it can also deploy to multiple clouds (EC2, Rackspace, Digital Ocean, Bare Metal (e.g. Kimsufi should be possible http://bit.ly/1t2PPXB). I've been playing around with it and it looks great so far.

That's a bit of an overstatement; it's responsible for very few technical decisions in Debian, and doesn't normally have even a theoretical ultimate-decision-maker role of regularly reviewing or steering them. Their only role is technical dispute-resolution, and they are supposed to wade into even that as minimally as possible. Most technical decisions are made by a mixture of individual package maintainers, the Debian Project Leader and release-management team, and informal consensus-building. To the extent there's an "ultimate" technical decision-maker, I would say for the majority of issues, the release team working with the project leader functions in that role.
you should check out sublime text if you haven't already. ST3 reads your js as you type it, and allows you to navigate through the code like you would through visual studio, keeping a dictionary of where the words appear and guessing what they are as. Its not as good as a static languages navigational abilities (you may have to choose between jumping to Increment the function, and Increment the variable), but its still pretty good.

TextSecure uses the OTR protocol [1,2], which itself uses Diffie-Hellman key exchange [3] to allow the communicating devices to agree on a shared key without the key being transmitted over the channel [4].

OTR actually uses "ephemeral" Diffie-Hellman [5], where a new shared key is generated for each session. This provides forward security by guaranteeing that a key compromise in the future won't render past messages decryptable.

I'll be posting a more detailed walkthrough of my process for using Docker with Ruby soon, as well as some other experiences.

> (at that time I did try to stuff all the provisioning into the Dockerfile for example, which you agree is a bad idea?

It's not necessarily a big deal for everything. I you have a lot of stuff that have limited build dependencies beyond Debian's "build-essential" target, you might as well create a debian:wheezy image with "build-essential" installed and work from that to begin with.

The issue is that some types of apps, like any Ruby app that uses Bundler and has dependencies on stuff with native extensions, can drag in hundreds of MB of dependencies that are only needed during build, and the build is only necessary when adding dependencies. For those kinds of apps it just wastes time and bloats your images to do the builds in the same Dockerfiles that you deploy with. If you're deploying 4-5 images now on a server or two, that's no big deal. When you're deploying 500 containers, you start getting picky about anything that slows down the process...

For those situations, I'd typically put together a Dockerfile with all the basic dependencies, and then "inherit" from that once for a dev/build container with the build dependencies, but without an entrypoint (so I can easily start it into bash or have it run a build script, or whatever I want), and then secondly for the final container where the latter image just adds the build artefacts.

Ideally I'd want everything I deploy to just have the files that are needed. Pragmatically, the tools are not quite there yet. Not least, it's often a real pain to build apps statically (if it's even possible), and the known dependencies are too granular (e.g. dependency on a large package, with no documentation about precisely what in the package has to be present) and it will take a long time to build up a "catalog" of more minimal images and build processes.

I'm starting to wonder if this is a problem with modern culture in general -- all over the place I'm seeing less "let's try our different approaches and see who has the best end result" and more "I will rape you to death with a flaming donkey for not running your project my way". It's like nobody wants to do any work to demonstrate that their way is superior, they just want to sit back and bitch about how the other way is inferior, until the other team gives up and our overall result is nothing :-/

I see your point, C is definitely the choice for long running jobs or jobs that will be run more than a handful of times, in my experience however I'm writing a lot of one-off scripts that take 30 seconds tops to run so Perl wins out pretty hard over C.
What does that really mean? Debian is a community project, not a hierarchical organisation with a managerial chain of command.

The Technical Committee seems much more like an advisory board and the forum for and arbiter of the tiny number of contentious issues.

They're not involved in, informed of or responsible for the vast majority of technical decisions.
After taking my battery and SIM card out and putting them back in a few times, those glitches no longer occur for me.

I get about 48h of light use though. Battery life used to be worse, but I was able to tell an indexing service to only run after boot and not during use. Might be updates overwrite user customizations, so I need to do it again.

After that update the phone refused to talk with Debian Wheezy and Windows 7 over USB but Ubuntu 14.4 LTS works just swimmingly now, and it's what I use on my desktop anyway. That update finally resolved an issue with the screen not wanting to unlock, and now it's smooth sailing.

I'm actually quite happy with the phone. I expected issues when I bought it and since I'm proficient with Linux I can solve them from the command line interface. The phone won't let me copy-paste from the GUI to the CLI; as per a bug report this functionality is pending robust sanity checking and security.
The keyboard is very sensitive in just the right way and once I got used to the UI Android started to feel like a bygone era. I'm Finnish, and during the holidays I'll probably be expected to advise my relatives on whether or not they can upgrade their tablets to Jolla's new device.

"has essentially brain washed its citizens into hating the south"

I've been to DPRK a few years ago, and as far I could see, their state propaganda is not aimed at southern ordinary citizens, but on the government of South Korea. They consider it to be a puppet government in the hands of USA. (There is actually more than that, but I think this reduction is accurate enough.) Overall, they are very open to the idea of having the entire Korea united, and in a lot of instances you can even find maps and logos depicting their country as the entire Korean peninsula.
$190 / month (net profit, after tax, fees, everything) from my cheap-as-hell VPS company (http://kihi.io). Helps little-businesses get off the ground for only a $2 VPS. Fortunately it hasn't had many orders as of late since everything is quite full.

Largest customer base has been China & Indonesia which brings in a lot of happy faces and awesome customers, so I got that going for me at least, which is nice.

Been looking at alternative plans (disposable VPS' maybe?) and other ways of profit.

I've done enough Android development to warrant a decent app, so maybe I should create a few more in the horizon.
I've made $1500 in the past month on my Android apps. I also did some additional Android stuff with a partner, so that would be another couple of hundred dollars on top of that.

Then be happy: the result of the vote is a clear majority of Debian developers saying "no more politics on this init topic" (by rejecting this GR as uneeded).

In all group of a given size there's bound to be some amount of politics, even if it's desirable to keep it low. What's specific to Debian is that 1) it's big 2) it's fully open. That makes any emotionally loaded discussion noisy and widely heard. One just has to understand, accept and keep cool about this. Sausage taste best when you don't know how they're made for sure, but I still like the Debian sausage anyway ;)
I get the impression which is admittedly informed by very cursory examination of the issues that ripping systemd out may be far more difficult than ripping say, Upstart.

Definitely. But this is probably true for many things at a low-level in the stack. E.g., it would also be hard to replace D-BUS or the Linux kernel (as evidenced by the fact that Debian/KFreeBSD will probably not be in Jessy).

I agree that it is a worry. But you can never make progress without taking any risks. We have tried 'fully isolated init' for years and it does not really work for modern systems/applications.
The whole setup is also about transaction cost; basically a legal cartel to standardize routine consumer transactions, reducing cost (of evaluating and constantly re-evaluating complex contracts for routine business) and risk for all parties.

I'm very concerned, systemd becomes system-Destruction, people are leaving for BSDs likely because of it too.

It's very sad to watch this, systemd is too intrusive with the strong support from the OSS Microsoft, that is, the Redhat behind the scene. No other project can be so controversial so fast, it's really bad.

Eh, if you're worried about politics of the form of resignations/splits/forks and their impact on technical and social decisions, I'm not sure where in free software you can go. The BSD world has had its share of strong disagreements and resignations, which is why for example Theo de Raadt is no longer a NetBSD developer, and Matthew Dillon is no longer a FreeBSD committer. Though the BSD scene is as bit more stable at the moment than it was a few years ago.
Somewhat OT, but in case someone from Jolla or the "Sailfish Alliance" is reading these comments I just don't think Sailfish can take off with many developers if the main application development language is C++. Rust will be hitting 1.0 early next year and it would be nice for the Sailfish, Qt, and Rust communities to have official, corporate backed rust bindings for Qt and Sailfish's APIs.

The main point he makes is valid however,

> Porting your application to Docker increases complexity. Really.

I think the main problem of Docker is that it's sold as an 'easy solution' by many bloggers who only deal with it superficially and then move on to the next big thing. There are a lot of gotchas with docker containers and the creation of clean docker images that are not immediately clear when you start out. A lot of your standard Linux know-how is not applicable.

edit: Also, there are obvious security issues that are not immediately clear to most beginners, most certainly not from the tutorials.

One of my favorites: If you provision your database container with environment variables to create a dba user, and then link your db container to your app container, voilà, your app container will now most certainly have the dba login and password inside its environment variables: https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/5169
