It heavily depends on the market. When my startup failed in 200x after popping of the dotcom bubble, the market for programmers was terrible and I was lucky to get a job at a state funded research institute. Comparing this to today, where I

From this thread, sounds like the second point: "It's currently a research project for us and we have an intern from Uppsala University working on the HA features including paxos leader election and multi-master conflict resolution."

I remember those too :-) Great! Zooming I mostly did with applying Bresenham to drawing bitmaps instead of lines (And then obviously repeating lines with BLPxMOD). That site would be awesome.

I still remember my first sin scroller, copper bars and the easy water mirror effects with a negative bitplane offset. I wonder if there is a site that explains copper bars, vertical bars, endless blob, glenz vectors etc.? Would be interest

Thanks for your reply, from looking at Iconfinder it did not look like a large piece of software with lots of business requirements.

Yes, and this is in which way relevant to the point?

Technology is not important for your startup. Choose whatever you know. Then go from there and fix it when you scale because you've found a market. About time to market: From my experience (and Reinertsen [1]) time to market is not lost dur

How? They have created an app connecting two market participants that before were not connected.

You also need a certificate to open a restaurant in most places. You would call the restaurant market "regulated"?

by Uchikoma 13y ago
A lot of markets are "regulated", e.g. the food market, there is a lot of thing you can't mix into food (even in the US). Though no one would call this market "regulated".

What I find funny - and I like a lot of Rand, though I've understood the books completely different as most Americans - is that many of the Americans that quote and evangelize Rand would be "parasites" in a Galt world, e.g. all the Republic

Uber was built from the ground up to make money. Everything else is PR.

I found it interesting that a lot of towers look the same, like ah - the people of Skyrim learned that this tower design works for then, hadn't thought they'd use architecture patterns. Interesting. Rather than, oh I'm annoyed the developer

I agree, though I find the discussion what should be on hacker new more complicated than the ethic discussion.

What I've learned from my failed startup during 2000/2001 [1]: With enterprise software the MVP is a power point deck with mockup screen shots. You first need to validate the idea, words, concepts before you start developing. This also help

Most others - like my MacBook here [1] - are advertising GHz / core not "summing" the cores. So the statement "PC users understand" is false. [1] http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/macboo...

Not with a hack, but you could create 5 accounts and ask the target to connect for some reason. By scripting this, I guess you get enough people where you "know" 5 accounts.
