Something which using Make would've fixed, incidentally. One of the neat things about Make is that you can define arbitrary dependencies (e.g. pill_strings.go depends on pill.go) and Make knows to rerun the tool when needed.

The bigger problem with the Tokyo-Okinawa route as a hyperloop candidate is that Okinawa is an island far away from the main islands of Japan (kind of like Hawaii). Not a great candidate for land-based transportation.

You could say "we're opening" or "we're opening up." Ambiguity removed, while keeping the original meaning.

Thoroughness of the interview process typically relates to the amount of skills required for the job. Engineering requires a tremendous amount of skills, and so it requires a fairly thorough review process. Being a cashier, for example, req

I simply use Make for all my web projects, whether it's a Ruby JSON API, or a React front-end. It's reliable, pre-installed everywhere, and can wrap anything in one consistent CLI. Why have to remember whether to type lein repl ,

This article, in my opinion, makes an incredibly important point. And yet, does it in an incredibly boring manner. I'm not sure if its purpose is supposed to be a literary analysis, or a point about american social values and the taboo

Technically it's quintupling, not quadrupling. Not sure why the writers chose to phrase it like that.

RadPad is a company with a sexist and inappropriate launch video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kXTual0lfk Probably worth watching before making up your mind about the startup.

I agree... there's too much room to get screwed over royally with cofounder vesting cliffs. The equity stakes are so much higher founder, and the compensation is usually either mostly or entirely stock. That means that if there's

Undoing of votes would be nice. It's so easy to make an irreversible mistake.

Well, it would be, if it were true. I'm pretty sure Emacs was invented after 1928. Half a century later, actually. I found that claim really odd. Maybe there's a joke or reference in there I'm not getting? https://

Objective-C data structures are already immutable by default. What do these persistent data structures bring to the table that the default immutable NSDictionary, NSArray, NSSet, etc., don't?

Good news is: visas which don't require labor certification do not appear in the data. I'm on an O-1 and I'm not in it.

Email me (find it in my profile), I'd love to chat about your situation. I'm pretty involved in the field, so I'm curious if I could hook you up with any avenues to liquidate.

There's many ways for private stockholders to liquidate shares: - Founders can often sell shares during fundraising events, either through a pre-allocated block of shares called Series FF, or by having the company use a portion of the

I do something very similar: 64-bit IDs start with a timestamp with a custom epoch, and fill in the rest with random data. I store these in bigints in Postgres.

Maternity and paid sick leave policies have very little to do with tax rates. See the CA state budget here: http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/2014-15/Enacted/agencies.html The big-ticket items are the things affecting tax

By the way, this is originally a japanese game called Sokoban. Boxxle was a clone of Sokoban. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokoban I wrote a space-themed iOS derivative of Sokoban many years ago, which I sadly never p

I've been in this position. .5% of a rocketship is still pretty great. You'll end up with 1.25MM cash if the company exits at a billion (after 2x dilution and 50% taxes if you're in California). Yeah, it sucks to think about

The thing I'm most curious about is how to get this working within more "natural" constraints: i.e., ants in real life can't emit pheromones on their entire path history, only their current location. Is there a way to st

That's mostly for efficiency. Imagine going on the top floor and having to wait for 10+ stops on the way up. That said, I think split elevators are more common in commercial buildings. I've seen residential skyscrapers have eleva

I think it's impressive, and somewhat refreshing to see someone so plainly admit "Sorry, I fucked up, I was wrong. I know better now." I was expecting more bullshitty-tasting PR-written damage control.

I think the suggestion was to multiply the powers of primes. e.g. fn 2 @ v1, fn 3 @ v1 = 2^1 * 3^1 = 6 fn 2 @ v2, fn 3 @ v1, fn 5 @ v3 = 2^2 * 3^1 * 5^3 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 * 5 * 5 = 1500

I feel like it's relevant to point out that Yishan, Reddit's CEO, has written some of the most thoughtful advice on engineering management. I have personally benefited a lot from his thoughts on this: http://algeri-wong

That would be awesome! But, it's not really Facebook (or Google or Apple)'s business or area of expertise. That said, there are a few startups working on it.

Actually, I see it as the complete opposite. Oftentimes, the public systems are so broken that sinking money into it is a lost cause. The entrepreneurial solution, taking matter into your own hands and building a better solution, is a much

In Vim, a single badly-written plugin can make the entire editor feel sluggish. I'd recommend disabling your plugins one-by-one, until you find the culprit.

The way you described it looked like trolling, hence the downvotes, I think. But your thinking is sound. People most commonly count their alcohol in shots and shot-equivalents. 1.5oz = 44ml. Most liquor is 40% ABV. That's ~18mL of pure
