I can send you an example. Can I drop you an email? I think also that we are friends on linkedin, coincidentally. I can message you there (if that is a useful way to get in touch?).

At least with the previous JRuby, for us the answer is "usually no." If you do any large string ops (hello JSON), or parsing, or use any ruby gems which use exception handling for flow control (which is cheap in MRI, but like 9ms

The game is to chase growth. If you are "profitable" you by-definition have money that you left sitting and didn't use for acquiring more customers. Once a company is on a vc-funded path, they need to target hyper-growth, or

Properly configured, Apache scales just fine. This site looks like it is running out of database connections. That's not something you can blame Apache for.

If you do the math, their cut changes by a dramatic amount in the deal/no deal scenario (all or nothing), and only a tiny tiny percentage in the 3% increase in pay scenario. To them, the incentive is to close, and fast.

Don't disclose your current salary--agreed. Recruiters are actually useful for targeting high-salary jobs. Going on interviews without knowing a ballpark salary range is time intensive, and a good way to end up settling. Recruiters kno

I made no prediction about it usurping the dollar. I'm saying bitcoin can do things money cannot. I listed some use cases that demonstrate the kinds of things it is suited for. When the PC first came out, the life-changing uses seeme

Explicit function naming requires slightly longer function names, but you can actually read a program and get a sense of what is happening. Give me long function names over short ones any day. In my book, 5 words is a little long, but not o

If you have a microservice, typically that means a REST API. -Tests for all response codes -Test for all failure modes (timeout, service down) -Load tests both services. -Two sets of deployments to test. -Two healthchecks to test. Seems har

I'm interested in any almost drop-in solutions that can do saas billing and payments, especially recurring ones. Ideally for rails. I see some a couple listed in the comments, but they seem to be more invoice oriented. Anyone else have

I don't believe this outcome is possible for anything related to a rules change. Maybe for better functionality, but I have my doubts about that too. In terms of the rules, it would mean we collectively have learned to solve something

Javascript will no longer be the only viable language for working with the DOM in a browser. With technologies like asm, I think it is only a matter of time until we are freed of directly or semi-directly (coffeescript) coding Javascript in

YC is a hack around the old-boy you-have-to-know-someone network. It's ingenious. YC implements a better filtering algorithm than the dumb who-you-know filter and sells the companies to VC's at a premium. It's amazing most of

Why is it bizarre to use it as an investment choice? If you have a sense for what makes a technology prevail and think that bitcoin will, it isn't a big leap to look at the value that can be transferred through bitcoin and say "in

The best answer is to try and group your interviews and offers so you have a competitive situation. Talking to several recruiters at once can help with this. You can almost always say you have an interview scheduled on (some day about 4 day
