The advantage for those employees being acquired is (typically) a liquidity event for their current shares. Say Acme, Inc. buys Little Guys N Me for 10 mil....and you are an employee of Little Guys N Me to the tune of 1% (or such). Depend

I would hope he's talking about direct connect ( http://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/ ) as otherwise, you're correct.

To be fair, some times you can build things much faster as the process for capital expenditure of sizes necessary is more straightforward. "Oh? You need to spend 20 million dollars on some hardware? Cool. Follow this accelerated RFP pro

Depending on length of time the network is "out" there's a avariety of things that could occur. In general, the master would kick off a bgsave and the slave would re-bootstrap once it received said snapshot.

Agreed. The groupthink mentality here is almost as bad as reddit from what i've seen (say...50 to 70% of the way there); however, i think some of the show HN thing have been interesting to see (and I don't think i would've found them on me

"The overwhelming majority of the businesses on Groupon are failing." To use your own words: "This is insulting and frankly, just bullshit." I would love for you to find a non-anecdotal study which shows that most (>50%) of businesses

I'm kinda baffled by memcachier. Who is your target market? I would think everyone who uses memcache would be frightened by WAN latency to your service.

I'm sure there's lots, but it also depends on your definition of success. Here in Chicago we've got groupon, threadless, braintree, thinkorswim, 37 signals, orbitz, and then, of course, a number of places which have cashed out to acquisiti

I understand you want nobody on your lawn...and i'm sure newsql/nosql is just IMS again...and you have an opinion that either functional or OOP sucks. They're all tools / approaches. In general, each has several perfectly valid applicatio

"Your approach sounds like you should have stored procs instead." Not necessarily. As one moves towards stored procs, it becomes more common to place business logic in said stored procs. This tends to go against MVC and also limits some s

I didn't state it would magically result in that...i'm sorry if that's what you inferred; however, i've found in the past that good people teaching about some subject tend to learn more about the subject in the teaching of said subject. Li

"If you're going to do them, performance reviews should be about identifying the areas where people are great, and working out how to extract more of that..." I disagree. Performance reviews should be about performance. They should examin

It's a pendulum. If management blows smoke and kissy faces all day at me telling me my poo doesn't stink, that's not helpful. If they only point out what is being done incorrectly, that's not good. A blend between the two plus upward rev

You could always hire someone like command prompt to do it for you (i'm pretty sure they already have all this stuff pre-written). heh..actually..it's the first thing on their product list: http://www.commandprompt.com/products/hot_standby

You left out one of my faves. Parent / child tables (ie tabular inheritance). Makes time series stuff so much nicer as pruning over time can be performed with truncate as opposed to "delete from".

Surprise. Like any one receiving equity (employees, VCs, etc.) you need to perform due dilligence to make sure you're getting value out of the relationship. You wouldn't just accept the first VC offer you received would you? You also very

I agree, but it depends on how complex the operation within the comprehension is.

I found the alternative easier to read. I read it once. I had to scan yours twice. I'd say yours is borderline simple case. Also, i think part of the difference can be found when you're dealing with large amounts of code in maintenance.

The main gripe i've had with it has to do with the subprocess module. It's "semi" unpythonic. There's MORE than one obvious way to do something. Looking at popen, popen2, popen3...that in combination with communicate. But overall I agree

by ironchef 15y ago
I also don't get why communicate is "clumsy". I've used it in the past with no problems. Is it just because the syntax is kinda weird or it's not as simple as desired?

"There's a reason why the big banks backed the IPO but didn't take a percentage." Morgan stanley has 19 mil shares. Goldman has 2 mil shares. They backed the IPO and took a percentage. Am i misunderstanding your statement?

Created just to post this? Wow. Anyways...so...would you say the following are all sleazy: braintree, orbitz, threadless (aka skinnycorp), 37signals Those are the next startups i think about when i think chicago.

OTOH, if it's the same humor and sarcasm towards the same "target" groups, it gets old fast...and can be seen as systemic.

Odd. The DC28 (Animal) when i bought it (5 or 6 years ago) was rated a very good (and is still kicking VERY well). I wonder if quality has decreased.

The other simple thing to point out is all of the issues with "enterprise" software you guys use. That label doesn't mean software doesn't have bugs. That being said...i agree with the others to use it on smaller projects (to get used to

That's just one of pollan's "rules". Taken out of context, I agree. Put it in context with the others where he suggests, for example "Stay out of the middle of the supermarket; shop on the perimeter of the store. Real food tends to be on
