Interesting talk by Hundred Rabbits where they discuss how their lives and development practices have changed since living on a sailboat.

For you pythonheads, please check out Olivier's wonderful pyo https://github.com/belangeo/pyo

I don't think it's that bad. As with any service, depends what your the user is into. Do the lawmakers prefer television? I don't think that is better. No ads on Youtubekids, aside from the sponsored stuff. That's a plus.

Interestingly, one place where this race to the bottom is NOT present is in iPad music apps, synths and DAWs. Prices range from 10 to 50, and the apps are polished.

I have good luck with VirtuaWin in terms of a better window manager.

You should set your keymap to Emacs then, its pretty close, and very cool.

IntraSee http://intrasee.com (50% remote, 50% travel)
Not your typical enterprise shop. We're looking for North American web developers or PeopleSoft developers who are looking to push the platform. We work with Fortune 500 companies and some big name higher ed institutions alike, using copious amounts of HTML/CSS/Javascript to create beautiful, usable PeopleSoft implementations. We were recently profiled by the PeopleSoft blog. Competitive salary, smart co-workers, great projects. If interested, shoot over a resume to [email protected]. (Note that you don't have to have PeopleSoft experience, we're willing to train great devs.) Thanks.

pandakar | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Macbook Air + Remote Server = Macbook Pro?
Yeah, I was referring to those long haul airplane rides more than anything else.
pandakar | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Macbook Air + Remote Server = Macbook Pro?
The Air is a somewhat paradoxical machine in that it is extremely portable and therefore perfect for travel, which is when you often lose the data connection and therefore need more power to run VMs! You, however, don't have that problem, if indeed you are most often working from home. In the case you describe, definitely go for the Air, or wait a few months to see if the Air gets a retina screen. I have an air, and it is difficult to consider going back to anything even slightly bulkier.

I tried airvpn for a month, had a very good experience, and they are explicit about following EU privacy rules.
pandakar | 14 years ago | on: Ask HN: What ERP system do tech startups use?
Along with this, does anyone use OpenBravoERP? Intriguingly, it has always been one of the top SourceForge projects.

Music tech has been wrestling with novel controllers including several like the kind you speak of for a while now: http://www.nime.org. Take a look through some of those conference notes for ideas. This is from 2003: http://nime.org/2003/nime03_program.html

It still a shame to have gone and killed Color, if that is indeed the case. Horrible UI, amazing results though.

At some point, shouldn't the readers of HN consider themselves the market makers? This constant hearsay about who is making money and who isn't...tiresome.
