Does research count? For hard problems that I'm not sure how to answer I usually start by looking for any existing tool/framework/technique/blog post/paper that has solved a similar problem. I put copy what I find i

Kind of hard to compare apples to apples, there was a pretty steep minimum on previous contracts, I'd imagine that high volume users could negotiate volume discounts beyond those listed. At least this way there's not a huge cliff

About a year ago I copied everything into Evernote. I had a bunch of disparate bookmarks across different desktop/mobile browsers and in places like medium/feedly. I created notebooks for different topics (in my case, "Data S

It definitely feels like they're making evolutionary improvements to existing product lines that have worked well. Nothing they presented felt _revolutionary_ in any way, but the bar for progress in changing consumer's lives is pr

I really like the idea of separating content from application code like this, is there anything in the open source community that's similar to this?

We use AirBnB's Knowledge Repo project[1][2] for things like this at my company. I love the idea of making it easier to deploy things like this though. 1. https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/scaling-knowledge-at-

I haven't used this specific library, but it's common to want to convert lat/lon into a single dimension where sorting the hash gives nearby locations. This is helpful for lookups/indexing/caching geospatial data. T

Are you familiar with the S2 library for mapping lat/lon into a 1d space? ( http://blog.christianperone.com/2015/08/googles-s2-geometry-... ) any idea what the tradeoffs would be between this and S2?

For this, I've seen several large projects push discussions to discourse or stack overflow, which are much better-suited mediums for discussion IMHO.

You're assuming quite a lot about the use case. I personally don't have a problem that's solved by this particular utility, but it's not uncommon for our analytics team to use pandas to join CSV files on their way into o

I'd argue it's easier to not tip when you have the option to tip in the App. If you're transacting with cash the driver knows if / when you aren't going to tip them. It'd be next level aggressive to sit and wat

The most similar thing I've found is Apache Beam[1] which allows you to run ETL code on multiple engines but doesn't necessarily come with off the shelf integrations for commercial products. As far as "how ETL is done today&q

I've been working on a React Native project and I really enjoy how easy jest is to use. It's hard to tell from this post though, is there something new/specific about it? Or are we all just agreeing that it's awesome?

Is the crawling actually taking place on the phone or is there a backend service that's grabbing data? If the phone is doing crawling I'd imagine this would nuke your battery.
