Glad to hear it. Signup and you'll get an invite before long. The craftsmanship shows even better in the product than in the blog posts. ;-)

The higher level product design problems you're talking about are super important, and we'll write articles about that soon. We're really into interaction design. We're not figuring these problems out now. Our user research started over a

If you scroll down, you should see a bunch of info about how Prismatic works and why you are signing up w/ Twitter...and some testimonials from the community.

I agree, and we're on it. We're only just now allowing more people into the product and it's still a long way from being openly available publicly. With young companies and products, it's tough to balance all the constraints with the goals

Thanks, Alex. What do you mean about the non intrusive point - something about the ongoing interactions within the product or things like bootstrapping interests from twitter?

Thanks Toby, really glad you've enjoyed it. We can get so much better, but at least we finally do have a foundation. :)

Hey Edwin, We agree and we're actively working on all the issues you bring up. Stick with us, it's really a big endeavor and it will improve quickly.

I'd love to read more, do you have some links? I'm aware of Chomsky's work, for example. The reason I posted is that, although many have said it again and again, the message is not taking hold and IMO needs to be repeated.

I believe it was Pascal in his famous correspondence with de Fermat on probability.

No, a much more practical reason. I'm not so good at coming up with titles. =)

If you read carefully, you can see that I am not saying that journalism or publishing are dead. I am saying that the attempt to grasp at the model of the past is dead. I don't agree that the iPad is a nail in the coffin. IMO, its impact o

I am sorry it takes a while to develop, but if you give it a chance you might find something interesting. As Pascal said, I didn't have time to write a shorter one.

Google thinks it is Google. I don't agree.

Really, I wasn't aware? Do you have link as reference?

Well said, and in far fewer words than my essay. ;-)

For sure, guys, you are exactly right. However, a couple things to add based on the fact that Java libs usually stink pretty bad, and there are usually 10 for a given task. 1) One step is to find the 1 in 10 libs that is remotely close t

I am not presenting breakthrough material here. I wrote this because there is still a lot of confusion about concurrency and people looking for hot new solutions without understanding the basic tradeoffs.

I am not calling concurrency a fad, I am calling the rush to try hot new concurrency primitives without understanding these basic tradeoffs a fad. Clojure's concurrency primitives are just wrappers around the same java libs I mention in the

I love to hear this. What are you working on and can you share an example or two of some of the new stuff you are able to do?

by bradfordcross 16y ago
Maro, thanks for sharing your example. I presume this is you? http://scalien.com/keyspace/ Awesome stuff.

You raise a lot of really important issues here. Let's take them one-by-one; data, algorithm, and user experience. Data: We've done a lot with our data pipeline recently to ensure you have the best available information in real time and we

What's up fnid2. We've definitely had some known issues over the past several months at different levels in our system. We've worked out a lot of problems and are on top of others as we speak. That said, Flightcaster works now for a lot o

On the contrary; I find learning and production to be mutually self-reinforcing rather than conflicting. I am a professional committed to both practicing my craft and consistently increasing my skill at my craft. For machine learning resea

I own them all, and I am perpetually at different stages of working through each of them. :-) I work in the way I explained in the intro - when I don't know something, I step back and go learn the background I need to move forward.
