There was a story recently on HN about a guy who splits his work hours into 30 minutes of work and 30 minutes of distraction. It turned out to work quite well for him. I guess I'm almost doing the same, spending most of my "distraction" tim

Looks cool, but what are the use cases for Atomo? Would be nice if there was a section "Why Atomo", on the website. More specifically, what prompted the creation of Atomo? Is it only for fun/personal research? Is it a school project? Is the

If the ports are really good and functional, it will be good for developpers because they'll choose to write their app with Qt Quick and have them run on Android, iPhone, and Nokia smartphones. That's why the article claim they will "win th

I was fascinated by fractals when I was young, I even attended a Mandelbrot conference when I was 14. I could not understand any of the mathematical fundamentals, but there was something intuitively beautiful and irresistible about fractals

I'm currently bootstrapping a startup on my savings, with no incomes. I moved from Paris to Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam). It's a very inexpensive place to live in. - Room on a flat: $150-$200 - Food: $120

Summing up what's being said in the comments, the two main points are: 1. Subjective: are you really really willing to spend a lot of time and energy (not to mention money) on the idea, to the point that it becomes the only subject of your

I definitely recommend learning C++ and Qt. At first, I was quite afraid of learning C++, it's supposed to be a difficult language, without all the niceties of python, javascript, php and the like. But actually Qt really adds a great abstra

Yeah, I was trying to solve that as well with my startup... Priority Inbox definitely implements a few of our "killer features". Will be interesting to see if we can compete with Google on this :)

Well, that won't help in your case, but I wanted to share this story: last friday, my laptop was stolen in Paris. I was doomed. 15 minutes later, my mobile phone rang : some guys spotted the thief while he was trying to rob other people. Th

Yes, Drupal and Joomla are probably the most used, tough after having used both, I must say that Drupal is as hard to learn as it is powerful. If you don't want to spend a lot of time on tweaking up your site, and don't mind if things aren'

Completely agree here. Passion is what drives motivation. Paul Graham wrote extensively about that in one of his essays (Do what you love). So I'd say : 1. Try to figure out what you'd love to do 2. Do it, and enjoy everyday of your life :)

It would be very nice someone purchased a more rememberable url... hnmobile.info is available, for example. I guess that would do the trick. No need of a .com tld here.

Hehe, I suppose that if I have to ask, it's probably not a good sign about my own "sigma", but what's this +3 sigma stuff anyways? From what I understand, it must be some way to asses someone's intelligence, like the IQ, but I've never hear

I must cite Programming Collective Intelligence from Toby Segaram ( http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596529321 ). Altough not entirely focused on search engines, it's an awesome book for anyone who wants to get their hands on some of the most
