A little off-topic:

Asking how to learn design seems to be common here, yet no one here has taken the time to seize this opportunity and actually build something that aids developers to learn how to design for the web.

First of all, stay away from Bootstrap. Learn the basics first then get yourself familiar with Photoshop. You can learn the basics by reading books like "The non-designer's design book", "Design Basics" or something similar.

Then go pick out well designed websites and try to recreate it with Photoshop. You can use Dribbble for this. Try to pay attention to every pixel and recreate it exactly as you see it, or it'll most likely end up ugly. After a while you can try to add your own stuff onto it.

After doing this for some time, you'll have learned how to do simple stuff with Photoshop, you'll have learned what kind of layouts each type of website uses and you'll be able to use these layouts for your own projects. You'll learn how to effectively apply subtle effects and much more.

Basically, the fastest way to become good at design is to copy other people's design.

Also, remember that anything you design at first will probably look ugly, but you need to keep tweaking it until you find something that looks good.

I've had several black spots that float around in my vision for over a year now. Is that a sign of retinal detachment? I visited the doctor and he said eye floaters were normal and people with myopia were prone to getting eye floaters.

The conclusion that life is meaningless, is meaningless as well. That means you can live life however you want, without bearing much importance to that conclusion.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I thought linking to movies instead of hosting them is legal?

Hah, "Contribution to the progress of humanity". As if that's some kind of ultimate goal that everyone has to strive for.

Chrome's not open source, Chromium is.

Here's Armin Ronacher talking about the structure of Battlelog. http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2011/11/15/modern-web-applications-a...

Your homepage_view function doesn't return an HttpResponse object. How do I know that? Because you're in debug mode. You should disable that.

Does it really matter if you die unhappy?

Google's mission is to display their ads to as many people as possible. How is a walled garden going to help achieve that goal?

No, it's not. He's just showcasing the simplicity of bottle.py

John, you probably don't want to read this, but dropping out of college and selling yourself as an idea guy isn't going to get you anywhere.

I wonder if burpees could be qualified as an intense exercise. 1 minute exercise and 1 minute rest that goes on for 10-20 minutes and it gets me sweating like a pig.

I highly recommended it for people with lack of space or exercise equipment

Yes, and it's webscale.

I don't think it's the developer's job to tell people how to live their life. If people enjoy apps like LikeSecret and they use it, then it's the developer's job to provide it. The problem OP has encountered isn't because he's targetting "immature introverts", it's because he hasn't figured out a good marketing strategy. The solution to that isn't to act morally superior and ditch the app, but to try out different strategies and see which one works best.

Don't you think this is akin to piracy? Why are people so outraged about someone using a simple HTML page (or parts of it) without permission when illegally obtaining and using content such as movies or music is a daily occurrence, but you don't see people making a big fuss about that.

I'm not saying what he did was right as it obviously isn't, but making such an outrage about this seems a little bit over the top, IMO.

http://grooveshark.com not a black out, but urges you to write your representatives.

How do you even go about making a UI like that? It's beautiful.

It'd be better if we could just append a "v" after the URL to make verbatim searches. That way we can bookmark it and there will be no need to be logged in.

How difficult would this be for someone with minimal linear algebra knowledge?

Is this one of those viral marketing campaigns again? Yesterday, there was a popular thread on Reddit about some guy who retrieved his stolen Macbook by using the exact same software that's being mentioned here. And not to mention the several other threads here on HN a few months ago that are suspiciously similar.

Or maybe it's just really useful.

> Maybe the NSA or ONI can figure out who 'revscat' really is

I decided to do a little experiment and try to find out who you really are. In about 20 minutes I found out your internet service provider, in which city you live and your username seems to be linked to "Rev. Scatological Warfare". Am I on the right track?

> but Google already knows more about me than I feel comfortable with

But how exactly are they going to link all your google searches to your real identity, if you've always used a pseudonym when using Gmail or any other Google service?

This advice should be shown to every kid in high school that's considering to pay someone to build his web start-up.

OP, I hope you realize that the costs to maintain the website will, in the long run, probably be a lot higher than the costs of building the initial website. My advice is the same: Learn to code. Your view of what makes a good start-up will change for the better after having built a few small websites of your own.

I have seen this question come up on HN countless times, but I have yet to see a good answer. Why hasn't anyone written a good web design tutorial/book? I've read quite a few Photoshop/css tutorials, but none of those helped me understand the fundamentals of good design. The only thing that helped me suck less at designing was the "Non-Designer's Design Book", so I suggest reading that for starters.

Does using an azerty keyboard slow you down when using Vim? I'm assuming it was developed with qwerty keyboards in mind.

Let me know if you're going to make your own study group.

And here I was thinking it would take me about 2 months to finish it. Anyway, I'd definitely like to participate. Also, take a look at this: http://new.p2pu.org/en/groups/sicp-study-group/
