Crunchbase says 101-250 employees, so they must have guessed wrong. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/turbot Hope you get to that level soon, looks like a great product.

Oh, I see. The parent company, Turbot, has 100+ employees and has been at this for a while.

Your website says 200+ data sources. How the heck did you generate so many? This project does not look very old.

Yes, true. If your comparisons involve pointer-chasing or string comparison or anything complex, then it's not clear which strategy is faster. I always write the simplest possible code first, which is usually a linear search, benchmark

by ccleve 5y ago
It's a cool idea, but you have to keep in mind that binary searches are not optimal for b-tree nodes unless the node is really big. If you have a smaller node, < 32 or 64 elements, a simple linear search is faster. The reason has so

What's your point? That it's an "interesting take"? Or that you just wanted to level a personal attack on me?

Um, what? I am talking about what happened. It is others who are motivated to criticize Pai not because of what happened in this specific instance, but because of general disagreement with him over other issues (like net neutrality).

This is an absurd hit piece. I promise you that Ajit Pai did not personally review each census block to determine if it needed service or not. That happens at the staff level. Plus, the assertion in the headline that Pai "mismanaged $9

Complete, utter garbage. Cites no statistics. The truth is, about 25% of new businesses in the US are started by first-generation immigrants. 30% of new business owners only have a high-school education. Here are a few more stats: https:&#

Plus, it's way better to generate a UUID in the app server and send it to the server as a string. The reason is that you can deal with the id as a plain string and don't have to deal with a non-standard datatype in your app.

by ccleve 5y ago
The Postgres JDBC driver does not guarantee that batch inserts come back in the same order that you insert them (when you use RETURNING *). So, if you generate UUIDs server-side, you can't conveniently match them up with the records yo

In Java there is a UUID generator based on SecureRandom. That's about as unguessable as you're going to get.

Say more about the "poor replication story". I thought replication was pretty good. What's wrong with it?

This study is meaningless because it considers only the cost of buying a home, and not the total cost of housing or the cost of living. Specifically, it omits property taxes, state income taxes, and state and local sales taxes. Several of t

$1000 is much too expensive for a startup that is not yet funded, or one that is bootstrapped. Suggest you start lower with a pay-for-what-you-use model. Otherwise, you're looking at an enterprise sale with a longer sales cycle. Make i

I found that making the container was trivial, but deploying it using the AWS Container Orchestration Service or Fargate was not. Tons of configuration options, and security never seems to work right out of the box.

by ccleve 5y ago
Too expensive for larger deployments.

by ccleve 5y ago
If this is what I think it is, I want it. I truly do not like all the tools out there for doing deployment -- CloudFormation, CodeDeploy, Terraform, Ansible, the various container management schemes. If I can just create a little config fil

No. Baker v. Selden does not settle the question of APIs and fair use. That is why the Google v Oracle case made it to the Supreme Court.

As a matter of public policy, I agree that the specification should not receive protection, but under the law as written by Congress, it does. Thomas's dissent is correct. My comment is about process , not policy .
174.
by ccleve 6y ago
I like the outcome from a public policy perspective. The policy the court has imposed is good for the industry. But let's make no mistake -- this is legislating from the bench. The wholesale expropriation of an API is not the same th

Well-written article, useful insights, total misunderstanding of the way things like this should be done. There's an old saying: don't pave cow paths. That's exactly what he was doing. He was putting a different front end on

I have a different answer to this problem. If you get stuck, send me an email and work on something else for a while. That way I don't get interrupted and you get your answer. Asynchronous communication is great.

I have bought lists. I'm working on a system to manage lists.

This is a common technique in the mailing list industry. It's called "salting". You add fake names, but real email addresses, street addresses, or post office boxes. You then monitor what shows up in these places addressed to

Thanks. So far as I can tell, that site does not address the "use in commerce" question.

Here's the problem. The article does not say what you have to do to trademark something, but it does point to an article on a law firm site: https://www.legalteamusa.net/trademark-law-first-to-use-v-fi... . The site say
