Expertise in any artistic en devour, whether it be painting or chess is best learned by studying the masters. So find the website designs you like and take the time to try recreating them. If you need an design application I recommend the GIMP.

For many database applications, I don't think the transfer rate matters that much.<p>Regardless, the DDR-ram solid state solutions have faster transfer rates than a 4 drive raid0. The only drawback is that they cost about $100 per GB. <p>Oh, and the onboard battery will only let you unplug your machine for 8hrs. After that, the state is lost.

A good way to start is to find some templates on <a href="http://oswd.org">http://oswd.org</a> & modify them. Then, once you can swing it, start building stuff from scratch.<p>Oh and find a copy of photoshop or a comparable graphics program. Gimp is good (and free), but if you can find PS for cheap, go for that.

I agree with Sam. I've long since decided that while I'm keenly interested in how to build clean and very usable sites I just don't have the skills to provide the level of polish I want. <p>If you find out that you don't have the eye for design, don't waste tons of time (like I have), use an open source web design and focus on what you're really good at doing.

I've used Komodo at <a href="http://www.activestate.com/products/komodo_ide/">http://www.activestate.com/products/komodo_ide/</a> and it's very good. ActiveState has also released a free Editor at <a href="http://www.activestate.com/products/komodo_edit/">http://www.activestate.com/products/komodo_edit/</a> that looks promising.<p>I'd encourage you though to do something simpler. If you're on a Mac go buy Textmate at <a href="http://macromates.com/">http://macromates.com/</a> and get acquainted with the command line.

I have only just started using it, but it looks very promising. From what I understand so far: you activate tasks and from then on Mylar remembers what files you touched while working on that task. This enables you to quickly filter for files relevant to the task. With Java it even works on Source Code basis (what methods are relevant to the task) - planned for other languages besides Java, too. When submitting to subversion, you can also bundle all the filters for a task. Mylar also records the time you spent on the activated task.<p>Pretty neat, I think.

<i>The results are pretty much predictable though.</i><p>Not at all. Almost every demand curve is downward sloping, yes, but that doesn't mean every demand curve is the same.<p>If Joel's graph is accurate, and the Y axis starts at 0, this demand curve is VERY interesting. It's one of the most elastic curves I've seen. A 15% drop in price from 65 pounds to 55 leads to a 500% increase in volume. Of course the data isn't perfect, this is assuming consumers will purchase at the same rates as businesses. <p>If Joel wants to maximize profit, where profit = (Price-Marginal Cost) x Volume - Fixed costs, then the ideal price should be around 55 pounds.<p>This makes sense. For software development firms, cheaper is usually better. If you can reduce your price by X%, and increase your volume by more than X%, then go for it. You want to do this because software firms almost always have very low marginal costs (bandwidth), and very high fixed costs (development).<p><p>

Sorry it's mildly depressing. Unfortunately, any thoughts you bring up related to a polarizing issue are going to end up being framed in terms of the polarization. That's just the way it is; some things will never change.<p>On the up side, you are going to learn a lot about essay writing, and about how concepts do/don't get through to people. These are very valuable skills.

While Textmate is indeed the shizzle, this app isn't really playing in the same space.<p>Textmate is a code editor (and a very nice one). Coda is a web design tool, like Dreamweaver (integrated preview pane, built-in GUI support for CSS mangling, etc.). Coda looks to be a lot cleaner than Dreamweaver. I like it -- but I'm not sure I do enough web design to justify switching. It has more to do with the time to learn a new app rather than the cost; while Dreamweaver may be nasty, I've been using it for a long time. If I found myself needing to do a lot of web design, I'd definitely consider a switch. Coda seems elegant and intuitive.

I've often wondered how much of the explosion in web creativity can be attributed to the transparency of HTML -- you can "view source" any page and find out exactly how the designer created that cool effect. By comparison, Flash is opaque. Yes, there are tools that let you dig in to the ActionScript and whatnot, but you don't have the immediacy of seeing it right there in your browser.<p>

Because of the blatant plagiarism combined with an actually desperately needed program in Europe, YEurope is now managing to get increasing attention. What is interesting is that not only are they getting a spotlight, but YC is getting publicity too. Is this media savvy, or simply a way to save time by copying? <p>I have to give YE credit for addressing the concerns of YC. Their site is no longer the same color scheme as YC. They've added the following text to various areas:<p>Front Page: " This site is inspired by, but not affiliated with YCombinator.", <p>FAQ: "Are you affiliated with YCombinator?<p>No, we're not. YC's program is quite revolutionary. We think of YC as akin to something like the first University, and we hope to bring that concept to Europe. "<p>FAQ: "Couldn't I just go to YCombinator?<p>If you have the opportunity to, you should! I'm sure it is a great experience. Some of us don't want or can't move to YC, either because of Visa Issues, or simply because they prefer to stay in Europe."<p>And they explain their name as "Why Europe" instead of YC's which is based on "The ``Y-combinator'', which is sometimes also called fixpoint combinator, was discovered by H. Curry. With its help it is possible to handle recursive functions in the Lambda Calculus." A very nice derivation for Y C is available at <a href="http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~franco/C511/html/Scheme/ycomb.html">http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~franco/C511/html/Scheme/ycomb.html</a> .<p>Should they change their name anyway? My answer would be only if YC asks them to, which they haven't (at least not in the public threads to date) because "Why Europe" as a name really makes sense as it is not the place people would normally go to start a startup given the intense regulatory environment there.

Yes, it will still do that seek when it checkpoints, but I seriously doubt it will do one seek pert transaction at that checkpoint. Still, I doubt 100,000 tps can be achieved with PostgreSQL.<p>As for being wrong, that's one of the privileges you lose with celebrity. Everything you write in your blog is going to be preceded by "The guy who wrote gmail says..." When you say something that looks like it might become a popular misconception, guys like me will jump up and down, scream, and tear at our hair. Or maybe we'll just post terse, cold, unfriendly corrections. We still like you, though.<p>My main issue with your post is the way it comes across as saying databases are overengineering for 99% of web sites, but mainly deals with a performance issue that won't matter for 99% of web sites. I would have no problem if you framed it as high tps vs low tps for certain classes of application, not as simplicity vs overengineering. Using a relational database is a fine default choice for web apps today, just as you expect to have an OS on your server by default.

IDEs don't matter much for beginners. I'd say: use whatever you can get working in the shortest time, and start coding. IDLE (shipped with Python) or text editor + interpreter are the two prime contenders for that.

This is a poor article from Paul. I don't know why does he engage in this sort of stuff. Anyway Microsoft is maybe "off the spot" today in some popular stuff, but being "off the spot" is hardly equal to being dead. Microsoft acumulated so much value in their products/services today (built by them and assisted by the whole industry) that it would be crazy to think they are dead. And don't forget that lots of those smart emerging engineers from India, Pakistan etc. end up at Microsoft, soon they will produce interesting results. They have the desktop and without the desktop no browser can run, and they have a large part of the server too and server is where things really matters today, plus development tools & environments. Time will tell...

It looks very impressive, but for me a bit scary. They use some of the exact same concepts we are using for our startup for business in general: Focus on the context around exactly what your are doing. What I didn't notice was whether or not they had built in a system to automatically prioritize tasks for the user based on creating customer value. Without that, it will get overwhelming with a growing number of tasks like any generic task management system does.

you are right about, "people in general are mean, or at least they are often different from you. While it can be frustrating, maybe it's better to know the truth than to live on in an illusion."<p>until you are a success.

The advantage is that you're not going through the USB bus. The spec says 480Mbit but in real life it's much much lower. Does your rackmount server have quality USB2.0 (heh) or the cheapest 1.1 crap the manufacturer can find (likely)?<p>On the other hand I don't have hard numbers, just some bonnie tests on random flash sticks I had lying around. Check out the newer USB sticks that are "Readyboost Ready", such as Corsair. They might be quick enough.

Well rms I am from India. Mentality right now is against startups. Working for big companies is considered very smart and only options out here. But things are changing out here too. One of my friend quit his job to join a startup. I do not have the right credentials otherwise i would have setup a YC clone here too.

Make a web page and iterate your design. Go through about 10 cycles of "read stuff about design" and "re-design". Then try another type of website. Different types of sites have different goals. There are business, blog, news, social networking, etc...<p>Software: I recommend Inkscape for drawing logos, Gimp for manipulating images. Photoshop is much better than either of them if you have the $$$.<p><i>Edit: Whoops, meant to reply to the parent thread.

People actually have a pretty good track record of building companies from loans. If you don't know how to make money from your idea then it sounds scary but if you actually have a way to get revenue then it's not. I would guess not having faith in your idea would keep someone away from taking a loan, but if that's the case why are you looking for any kind of funding?

Emacs. Use CUA-mode and tabbar-mode if you aren't familiar with the Emacs keybindings. That's what I do.<p>I'm also fond of Wingware, but it's a commercial product. I found it wasn't quite enough of an improvement over Emacs to be worth paying for. Also, like many IDEs, it takes a while to bootup and requires a fairly large screen, both of which were annoying on my 1024x768 VMWare-inside-a-laptop instance.

The usual acquirers buy whole companies, including the programmers (which are actually the main thing they want). They don't buy just software in asset sales. So the fact that Justin and Emmett didn't want to keep working on the calendar meant that a normal acquisition was out of the question.

Europe will always be hindered by its inflexible and marginal immigration policy. If you want to be the best you have to draw in people from all over the world... India, Germany, Australia, Canada, etc. In my opinion that is what America gets right and what Ycombinator benefits indirectly from. It will be very difficult to reach the level of success that Ycombinator has and will achieve without changes to the macro-mindset. If at all anything this whole Yeurope thing will only increase the visibility of Ycombo in Europe and encourage more hackers to move to the USA.<p>Having said that, good luck to you guys at Yeurope. <p>

they haven't (at least not in the public threads to date) because "Why Europe" as a name really makes sense as it is not the place people would normally go to start a startup given the intense regulatory environment there.<p>You got me laughing with that one, quite right. To be fair though, London is becoming increasingly competitive with New York for IPOs in the wake of Sarbanes-Oxley, so while you stand a greater chance of going to prison you might have an easier exit if that's the goal.

I prefer the opposite approach: every time you have a block of time, set a task list of things you want to accomplish in that block, and hold yourself to that. <p>Problem with deadlines is they tend to back-load a task. If you know you need it done in a week, you might figure it'll take you 3 days to do, and hence start it in 4 days. Of course, things rarely take as long as you expect them to, so you end going over the deadline anyway or stressing yourself out to make it.<p>With a task list, you'd start that task immediately, and it's done when it's done. If you go over, you have some padding before it's necessary, and you can decide whether to give up on your original task and start the next item, or push through with it and postpone everything else. It's also much less stressful, since things don't get bunched up around the deadlines.

I can see this having both a positive and a negative effect on open source software. It might help by making it easier for corporations to adopt open source software on a system-wide scale. If SourceLabs gains momentum, however, I can envision open source projects wasting valuable time promoting their software to SourceLabs or knocking on other open source software in order to "prove" that their solution is better. This time would be better spent developing future versions, addressing current bug issues, or any number of other possibilities. Also, the conflict that could arise would not bode well either.<p>So while I find it to be an interesting initiative, I really hope that the positives and negatives at least offset each other, and hopefully the positive aspects will make the entire project better for the open source community.
