I suck at marketing, can you give feedback on my startup's homepage? | mgcreed: I like a lot of it, but at the same time, much of it feels it's been taken (not improved upon) from the 37Signals book of design. From the sign up, to the various pricing options, the way the pricing options is arranged, through to the buttons across the site.The video also feeds a bit "meh" i'm afraid. "Meaningful Discussion" in groups is beginning to sound very cliched. |

Budding game programmer humbly requests code critique | chipsy: Here are my notes:Use ON_ENTER_FRAME events and getTimer(), not TIMER. The Timer class is a low-accuracy system good for tweens, but it runs aground of Flash's "elastic racetrack" throttling behavior: Flash will try to keep a balance between rendering frames and code execution and that conflicts with the absolute control a game needs. ON_ENTER_FRAME will keep your main loop running once-per-frame, which is what you want; with getTimer() you can still apply a dT to your objects.You're using strings in your enumerated constants. These will compare slower than integers. However, the bigger concern for performance is.....You're using the Flash transform functions on a per-frame basis for rotations. This will always be slow; software rendering is fast only at simple memory copies and nothing else, which translates to using copyPixels as much as possible in the inner loop. Hence the performant way to architect Flash games is to prerender a giant spritesheet with draw(), use that as a lookup table for each rotation, and to draw the result onto a single surface rather than to maintain objects on the display list, because the Flash display list will do event processing per object. If you need to finely control draw layers, defer the actual rendering operation into a queue for each layer, and do it all in one pass later.Your "GameObject" won't scale well for a more complex game because it mix three concerns(drawing, motion, collision) in a single class. This caveat is true of the Flixel/Flashpunk architectures too; a more factored approach would be to push these things into components and instance them on each entity type. For an example of a more factored entity system look at Pushbutton Engine.Anyway, it looks pretty good overall, but it's a simple game. The companies may be looking for something a little more elaborate. |

I've tried this and other microblogging wordpress themes in the past and nothing self-hosted really emulates all the features of tumblr/posterous. I like how Tumblr takes care of he little things for the sake of usability and presentation. An example is how Tumblr caches and resizes all posted images to the size of your configured theme. |

How do you stay on top of legal work and/or taxes? | jacquesm: Those are the two items that I've contracted out.Legal stuff is usually so specific to the case at hand that you even have to shop around for a lawyer that has the required expertise, accounting is something where small slip-ups can cost you a fortune, your business or a lot of hardship.Keep in mind though that even if you contract this stuff out you are still responsible. So you should know at least enough about it that you can spot it when things derail. |

Budding game programmer humbly requests code critique | ismarc: chipsy covers a good number of concerns, and I unfortunately don't have time to enumerate the full list of issues seen in both, so I'll quickly cover some of the higher level issues:1. (asteroids) Tracking state in a series of global variables and then relying on that state in timer callbacks to implement your gameloop leads to unpredictable gamerate and framerates.2. Embedding the core game logic in mxml file is "bad form". I would suggest creating a game class that is instantiated and called from within that initial mxml file, but it's basically to get the launcher.3. (symptom) You have entirely too many, pointless loops. You iterate over the same list of objects numerous times in multiple locations. A good example would be in the most recent Level.as update() function. You iterate over the GameObjects 3 different times (not counting the inner loop for collision detection) when this can be reduced to 1 loop.4. Variable names...they're poor. An example is:for each (var object:GameObject in O) {What is O? Scroll to the top of the function. O is the result of getObjects(). Well, getObjects obviously gets some objects, but which ones? What type of collection does it use? Go to getObjects() definition and it uses a Vector, but you use the name O to build the vector internal to getObjects as well. The variable name should, at a minimum, provide a hint as to what purpose it serves. game_objects would be good, or gameObjects, or activeObjects. And, I can only guess what RBC and WBC even mean. I'm guessing maybe it's red blood cell and white blood cell? Even the associated class files don't provide any information, so from the point of view of someone reading the code, RBC and WBC are random letter strings representing a "something" |

Viable business behind single, better-mousetrap product? | callmeed: I don't think direct response is the only way to go (I assume you're referring to informercials), especially with all the online marketing you can do. I'm sure there are also resellers which would let you drop-ship and not actually distribute product.Another option is to get a patent and license it to someone.I thought this Jan cover article on Wired was really good about production:

Facebook app promotion techniques? | adora: As a general rule, unless you're willing to shell out dollars and buy facebook ads (which many developers do), you need to really optimize your virals, especially the feed.For more specific advice, what have you done for viral features?

Help For Clojure Addiction | lpetit: Challenge yourself by thinking whether you could write better java code, in the light of your new knowledge from the clojure side. Straightforward example: produce far more orthogonal java code by using composition and the strategy pattern more, programming more to interfaces and delegating more some "general" work on interfaced objects to static methods in helper classes, etc.That is, don't throw the baby with the bath water. Though coming with more "boilerplate" (as in "more ceremony"), there are still ways of programming in java that can make you happy at the end of the day: when you feel that your code is more DRY (which does not necessarily mean less code, BTW), and more orthogonal (more interfaces -e.g. callback interfaces- are generally a step in the right direction, though not necessarily a general rule). |
Your favourite (oldschool) software? | peter_severin: Norton Commander and its derivatives. DOS Navigator was very nice but slow. Then Windows/Total Commander later. |

I've run out of webapp ideas. What to do? | thibaut_barrere: I'd take a vacation, see friends, change of context and read books probably :)It's when I do this that most of my ideas come in.As well just curious - are you talking about ideas that could generate income, or just useful ideas in general ? |
Viable business behind single, better-mousetrap product? | thibaut_barrere: We will experiment with brick-and-mortar business next year (we = 2 but I'd do that alone as well).I think it's a pretty good idea to experiment and keep the same recipes you apply on the web (ie: start small, measure, iterate). |
What is your entry:"What would you do with 48 cores ?" | jacquesm: Interesting topic, but why would an X number of cores be the reason of approaching this particular problem ? It seems as though 'more is better' is the way to go here, so a cluster of rented boxes would be one way of getting there, a couple of high end GPGPU cards would be another. The number of cores in a box is just another multiplicand under the bar to get to the time-to-a solution. |
What is your entry:"What would you do with 48 cores ?" | boyter: Id take it to a LAN and lord it over everyone else.Seriously though... I dont need that much CPU power. I would prefer 4 cores and enough disk bandwidth to keep them busy. |
Took your advice, successfully! Let's try it again. | Mc_Big_G: Why do I have to create an acccount to see "more"?I clicked on the "more" link for entrepreneurs, then, on the next page, had to choose the checkbox for entrepreneurs and click continue. You should automatically recognize which "more" link I clicked. Save the category checking for people who come to that page wanting to do a search or browse by category.On the next page I had to put in two locations. I'd go with one and let the user add another one if they want.Then I was asked to create an account. Why? I just want to browse your site. I stopped at this point, so it just became a waste of time. |
What is your entry:"What would you do with 48 cores ?" | nailer: Spawn worker threads. |
What is your entry:"What would you do with 48 cores ?" | losethos: The real question is "What would you do when all your clients have 48 cores." |
