News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I saw a link to one before, but I can't seem to find it now. I'm interested to know what about the video is important.

a bit expensive, but looks nice
Re:Why do event sites suck? on Friday September 11, 2009 @06:18PM (#818250)
it seems like the article was more focused on tech events. I wonder if a tech focused event site or a general events site would be better.
Re:Why do event sites suck? on Friday September 11, 2009 @05:46PM (#818201)
upcoming was bought by yahoo in 2005. I totally agree that the sites are built for the promoters and not the users. The biggest problem I see how can this be built for the users and make money at the same time, any ideas?

Re:Google AppEngine Java Support Launches on Wednesday April 08, 2009 @12:21AM (#552279)
people working on appengine really want java? Isn't write webapps in java unproductive? I would figure developers would rather have ruby,php instead.
Re:New Product From 280North: Atlas on Wednesday February 25, 2009 @03:38AM (#494151)
I think this has some potential to allow more developers to publish a web app with at least a decent looking ui. There are a lot of good backend developers who happen to be bad at ui, this might allow more potential customers to view the product instead of being horrified as soon as they saw the ui.
Re:Autojump: easily navigate directories from the command line on Saturday February 14, 2009 @08:40AM (#481110)
I just installed it, this is a very good time saver. This is much better than temp variables because it defines "temp variable" automatically for you.
Re:China aims for its own Silicon Valley on Wednesday February 11, 2009 @08:03AM (#476939)
btw, I am in Guangdong currently, I'm pretty sure it is nothing like Silicon Valley. There are lots of computer component factories here, but not really any web companies.

We use a mix of Google Analytics, awstats, and webalizer. Awstats and Webalizer are post process your weblogs so they don't really effect the performance of your website.

China has already had its own Silicon Valley for many years in Beijing called Zhong Guan Cun (中关村) : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhongguancun .
Re:Spolksy and Atwood's StackOver is a huge success on Monday February 09, 2009 @09:29PM (#474569)
I'm surprised how they got a huge audience so fast. When I search for answers to technical problems on google, they appear on top results very often.
Re:Kindle 2: Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device on Monday February 09, 2009 @09:27PM (#474568)
I really want to get one, but it doesn't meet my basic needs. I need to be able to properly display technical books and the other problem is it doesn't support Chinese fonts, so I can't read chinese on it. What I like is that I don't need to carry tons of books with me. When I moved to China last year, I brought a whole suitcase of technical books, a pain to carry around.

Re:Version Control and "the 80%" on Thursday October 18, 2007 @12:58PM (#69783)
Its been about 3 months since we switched, so far its useful, when we have new features, we create a new branch just for that feature so we can isolate the code from the rest of the base. Then when the feature is done, we merge it with the main branch. Its also awesome to be able to commit when you don't have internet access.
Hi, thanks for the reminder, we put our emails in the application itself and not in our profiles, but we just updated them. I hope not having the emails in our profiles didn't effect anything.
Re:Version Control and "the 80%" on Wednesday October 17, 2007 @03:31PM (#69184)
I've recently switched to git from svn and it is pretty good so far. Git allows having a centralized server, it just needs to be enforced at the human level, not at the software level.
