The documentation shows ffmpeg is used only for encoding/decoding, composition/animation/effects are driven by openCV/numpy/scipy/PIL

During late nineties, my startup was providing technology consulting/development service to other dot-com startups. Demand for our consulting service was so high that our company resort to auction kind of process to select customers. Then dot-com bust happened, 97% of our customers had gone out of business, quickly, very quickly. Obviously, our company fortunes dwindled and never recovered from that.

Issue you are talking here seems to be about pushing software with a critical bug (a logical mistake by the developer). This issue looks to me as a test scenario that wasn't covered before. I guess these kind of issue could happen at anywhere else too, irrespective of their working (hacking) culture.

Growth of Zenefits is a dream for many entrepreneurs. Instead of working with legacy compliance related issues, Parker would have chosen to deal with them latter, to focus on the growth. Parker would have driven by excitement of hyper growth. If he had chosen to work with compliance related stuff, not sure they would have gotten this far, this quickly. Is the compliance issue a mistake (or) Is it a crime?. If compliance issue is a crime, did he even aware of that?.

FFxOS kernel is a fork of android kernal, but optimized to run on small memory footprint (128 MB RAM). Its speed on 128 MB RAM devices is commendable. Javascript is the only and primary development language for FFxOS & we get to access all hardware devices (Bluetooth, wifi, camera, etc ) via Javascript.

C++ is suitable for development of cross mobile applications , since both iOS and Android tool chain has support for C++.

it is our early release of the product (More focus was on the functionality). We will improve look and feel (such as icons, theme, etc) in general in our next iteration.

Code shall be easily extended to accommodate these features. Shoot an email to selvan@bitstat.com, will help you on that.

It doesn't have support for nested forms.

heartbleed vulnerability is gone. Have fixed it.

Will certainly improve UI graphics & icons at the earliest..Will check for heartbleed vulnerability immediately.

Do anyone have thoughts/feedback on Haraka - a mail server used by craigslist http://haraka.github.io/ ( Runs with Node.js + Javascript based plugin system )?

Tried their demo setup, few months ago (around the time when they graduated from Mozilla WebFWD). Keen to try out getgrasp.

Here is similar one : Big Blue Button (http://bigbluebutton.org/) is an open source web conferencing system for distance education.

What was the chance of FFx browser winning the browser race, when more than 95% computers already had IE pre-installed?

With FFxOS, web designer and developers can leverage their web design & development skills. All system calls are exposed via javascript API (aka open Web APIs). See more details here (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS)

Are n't many famous products (Android, Maps, Docs etc) of google are acquired rather than built?. What you think might work for you, may not work for others. Every organization have to figure out what will work best for their customers, by themselves.

I tried Emberjs and Angularjs recently, as both framework offered two-way binding between view & model, at client side.

Angularjs was easy to pickup and I have completed what I wanted to do in about half a day, except one issue, angularjs template rendering is DOM driven. I wanted server-side templates, hence I have to boot phantomjs at server-side. I didn't quite like booting phantomjs for server-side templates.

Since Emberjs offered, handlebar based templates, I was happy that I could render my templates at server-side. So tried emberjs, it took about 3 days, to get it done. Many out dated tutorials & documents spread across internet about older versions of Emberjs. Documentation at emberjs.com is minimal and not helpful. I started looking at source code of discourse.org and try to understand how they used ember. I felt the power of emberjs when I needed complete control of context and rendering of nested templates. It was real beauty.

There is a say in my language "Birds born in a cage too have wings". Sometimes its hard for me to digest how a society that has 99% literacy rate, could continue living like this, under NK regime.

Came across Ciphergraph (http://www.ciphergraph.com/) at Microsoft accelerator demo day on Jan 11th (http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/accelerator/Accelerator_compa...).They offer solutions in cloud security. Their VPN offering looks similar to CryptoSeal. Good that consumers have more choice in this space.

When you look at arts explained in the tutorial, objects are getting their shape from simple square, rectangles & circles. It is easy to comprehend.

In your case, even not many programmers would understand whats SDL.

Why shouldn't be writing C++ game programming or operating system, easy to comprehend for Artists?. If we had made writing OS easy for Artists, OS landscape would be much different than whats today.

Generate ideas to solve a problem. If you have 'n' ideas to solve a problem, it is n x 1 complexity.

Issue with using ideas as your problem is that you have to find actual problem first, then solution next. 'm' ideas as your problem and another 'n' ideas for each problem, it is m x n complexity.

Use lean principles to find a solution to a problem that you understood well.

"At a quick glance, I could have easily mistaken this site for something built out of Fab. If I were Fab, I feel I would be angry and want them to stop copying my work directly." -- If someone built competing search engine with a text box & search button, would you be confusing it with Google ?. Shouldn't people knowledge enough to differentiate & recognize brands by quality of service offered by them?. There are many clones of Instagram, Groupon, Airbnb. Systrom of Instagram told techcrunch,

"There might be 10 clones here, [but] there are also 20 clones from the United States right? You know, being copied is something that I think that every successful company will go through. Our biggest defensible asset really is our community, and I think that’s the thing that you’re not going to find on any of these replicas." (http://techcrunch.com/2011/11/06/instagrams-kevin-systrom-on...)

and Instagram didn't sue their clones !!.

Wow..loved last line of the post.."Google has an interest in being seen by its staff not just as a place of work, but as a way of life. Even in death."

Sounds interesting..I have come across " Nudgespot - http://www.nudgespot.com " recently. They are focused on "How to nudge window shoppers of your ecommerce site with targeted promotions to increase conversion rate".

My ex-employer (a tech consulting company) tried to on-board him & I am assuming that Matz certainly have received offers from many other tech companies too.. Kudos to heroku for making offer that excited Matz.., it is an interesting move by Heroku..
