Thanks for the good word! I always learn when coding.
I was actually surprised how simple Bing API was to implement! Painless! (feel awkward right now giving so much benefit to MS, LOL!)
With the logo, I used Bing-like font with obvious Google colors. But I will put some more thoughts into it. I think main Google logo haven't changed since ever (the only thing they added was a shade).
"Filter in a result site" -- can you shortly elaborate, please??
This is not what I was asking for! Infact, we are both programmers. So I wasn't trying to offense anybody!
The thing is that if we get an early investment of 10K (we also want to ask for the less possible that we could need) we dont want to blow it off inmediately on one single guy...
What I was asking is how to invest it the better way possible to finish a prototype? (that is what I meant with cheap)
What I was looking for are things like:
1. Hire a prgrammer for a month for around 5K to help you with the core. You can find them in ...
2. At the same time hire 2 trainees for 2K each and...
etc
5k? 2K? You aren't going to find developers to work for that money for such a short timespan.
If you are two software developers, time to buckle down and build an MVP. Being 2 developers you are in a great position to do this. Once you have that, and still no money, you'll only have equity, so find a co-founder who believes in your product and give him equity. Build out the product, get traction and then go looking for capital, any financing round at this point should give you enough cash to make solid hires. Then it's time to really get to work.
1. We are both programmers, but we will need more people...
2. The thing is that if we get a beginning investment of 10K we dont want to blow it off inmediately on one single guy...What I was asking is how to invest it the better way possible? (that is what I meant with cheap)
If you're both coders, stay true to what you're suppose to be doing. Bootstrap your prototype yourselves and make it a true MINIMUM viable product. You don't need a 3rd developer as much as you want one, or a 4th or 5th right now. One you get some tractions, there will be more doors open to you.
However, as someone else noted, if you're looking for cheap help, you're probably in the wrong place. While there are many talented people who may consider working for cheap or pure equity, it's something that naturally happens if they believe in you, your brother, your company, your vision, etc... It's not something you should go out of your way to try to convince people. Hard sales rarely work.
ok, that's better, having some investment and you both being programmers will be easier to sell your idea to potential cofounders. I would say best is to find another co-founder that is willing to take only shares more than 10%, up to 25% would be reasonable if he's good. A sign that he is good would be that he will have good ideas on how to go on from where you are, that is how to best spend your 10k, until the next round of investment. So go out interview potential cofounders with one of the question being this one.
As absurd as it sounds is basically, in my opinion, because it is really easy to write it! That is to say is human readable! (E.g.: for element in list:)
Furthermore, is the time you spare with testing, compilation problems, etc!What it could take you 1 hour with C++, you dont need more than 10minutes with Python...
It has some problems though! Since it is interpreted it will never be as fast and performant as directly compiled code! Moreover, the lack of type definition can generate some unexpected problems during execution! For that I have a trick...I just put a letter in lower case before the variable to indicate the type to myself (s for string, i for integer, t for tuple, d for dictionaries, o for objects and so forth)
are there any features within python making it much better than others while programming language specific soft (machine translation, dictionaries, etc)?
Hi there! No its not. It might look like it. You are right! but that is because we've just upload an old version.
The thing is that it wasn't working that smoothly and we had to take it down for improvements. Furthermore, some IPA issues occured with several OEMs, and we have to clear them first before we switch on the new version.
Design follows form is basically a heuristic for order. We dont say that form is less important, not priorizin either. We are are just implying the logical design order; first you develop the core, then you make it look good! Its just another way more poetic to put it.
I’m also doing a PhD in computer science, in my case in Munich, Germany. Maybe I can give you a good starting hint…
The thing is that if you don’t really need to use full Latex power, I would recommend you to use a very graspable editor called Lyx (http://www.lyx.org). The editor uses Latex core but encapsulated it under an easy user interface. It’s somehow like if you could use Microsoft Word and at the same time generate documents with Latex style. The best of all is that you can copy text directly from Word into it and generate a document. Is what I used to do at the beginning! You don’t need to worry about the encapsulation stuff.
If you are looking for a more powerful editor, I recommend you to use TexnicCenter (http://www.texniccenter.org/).
There are other programs that you should know about such as Jabref (http://jabref.sourceforge.net/) for references using BibTex.
So if I were you I would do these:
1.Install MikTek (http://miktex.org/about): Latex motor.
2.Install Lyx.
3.Check if Lyx is what you need and fullfill your needs. With half an hour, you should be an expert ;-) The most important of all is the text field on the left top corner.
4.If it’s not, install TecnikCenter.
My own personal recommendation is that you don’t waste too much time with it. I mean, as my first boss at BMW used to say, it should be a part of the solution not of the problem. Latex gives vast possibilities, but probably you won’t need to use them all, so don’t waste time on them! Start writing and generating your documents. If something comes up and you don’t know how to deal with it, then google it up. I recommend you this rather than turning to the same book or to the same source. I tried both, and the google approach is much faster.
Maybe you could try to put a filter in the result site.Anyhow, great job!
