The entire employment system veers towards these biases. It's shown even in simple things like "you'll need to give us 10 minutes after you're supposed to be finished working this evening, but don't you dare consider taking 10 minutes off tomorrow".

I kind of like the idea from a few years ago, where there was a tagline under the logo of some web sites on every page, to explain what the site is.

The "tree" objects that git uses to track state, are they hash trees?

How would you synchronise between versioning the symlinked assets and the app itself? Or do you just keep all images, for example, until you're simply sure you don't need them anymore?

Exactly. You can choose what to put money into, over time.

True. I maintain a Windows virtual machine on Linux just to be able to use banking sites that require Java. the sites don't seem to ever work on Linux, even with the proprietary Java libraries installed.

Jeez, it should have gotten more attention in any case.

Goalsontrack.com is one, it attempts to link your long-term goals with everyday tasks.

Nice to see a fellow language educator. Very interesting to see your translation and audio outsourcing to Elance.

We've done something for the Irish language, which has its own pronunciation complexities. The site itself is very simple as it is, just wanted to share in any case: http://www.pronounceirish.com/

We struggle with our name: Bitesize Irish Gaelic.

It's a language learning tool.

The Irish language is called "Irish" in Ireland, but often "Gaelic" elsewhere (depending on who you're speaking with).

The name we've ended up with is a mouthful of a compromise :)

I don't know if there's a fix for that...

What are the top single page apps that you have?

One close to this implementation that caught my eye this week for its design is http://deploybutton.com/

Even clicking through to the link, it loaded faster than I could Alt-Tab to the next window.

If an email was sent to a mailbox that wasn't being checked, it doesn't matter how many emails were sent. I don't know if it's the case, just guessing as one possibility.

Come to think about it, that's true. Often I'd click back, and the page would fully reload, and not bring me back to the same scroll position.

How does this work in the context of the book "The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing"?

New comment by mise in "Birds hold 'funerals' for dead"

mise — Sat, 01 Sep 2012 15:15:18 +0000

I have often wondered: where do dying birds go to die?

Except for roadkill, I don't see dead birds. I'm guessing under some shrubs, where they hide away weakly?

Ask HN: What does HN think about using such cross-platform app creation tools?

mise — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 09:05:03 +0000

I'm not connected with it, just came across AppCobra: http://www.appcobra.com/

There's also: https://trigger.io/

What do you think about using such a tool to create apps for mobile devices?

The alternative, it seems, is to have an app created specifically for a certain platform.

Ask HN: Hosted wiki for documenting processes?

mise — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 07:58:11 +0000

We're considering using a wiki to host some internal business processes.

Is there a popular SaaS solution for wikis?

Obviously, the alternative is always to host (and maintain) privately on our server.

I don't understand the full concept. How does this compare with platforms that allow you to set up affiliates?
