I would never imagine that happened in Europe. Free market works if there is competition, but monopolies either natural or artificial need regulations to prevent from abusing their powers. Personal story: I live in SF Bay Area and got Comca

Most of tech advancedppl will get around it using some sort of VPN/proxy. However, it's going to hurt the newcomers in tech. By the way, does anybody know why they do that?

I like it a lot. Quite controversial and a bit on too high-level for me, but it was fun and informative to read.

I read it both. If you enjoy notes a lot, reading book might sense, but don't except tons of new stuff. It is mostly written in a bit better structure and targets more general audience than class notes.

I'm glad to see growing Meteor ecosystem. Judging from first few pages, looks like a decent book.

Nice 10kf overview, but more hand on tips: 1. Run the program, look at stacktraces/profiler. Sometimes it's easier to analyze runtime and figure out what the program is doing and what are the main/common patterns. E.g. Java -

New VC model: ignore about that valuation number. Just get X preference (like 4x+). Then higher valuation works even better for you. Oh Facebook you really need to pay at least 6 billions, b/c we valued them at 10. Such a great deal. V

I disagree with author about coding question. In my experience if somebody is not able to code quickly a simple task (like fizzbuz, reverse a string), it's a terrible sign. It's a simple objective test that filter out a lot of can

Meteor is so awesome. Yesterday was coding my project and was thinking about why I have to install meteorite. Today I can just use one tool... A great example of many good patterns like: Ship basic version, but well-tested one. Then add thi

Do you run this tests with EBS optimized? Only with that you get guaranteed bandwidth to your disk and without that network may be the bottleneck.

Try using sbt/zinc. If you keep cached compiler in memory than you avoid initial startup time. Feels so much better to me.

Great idea. I only wish it was an open standard... Email success b/c of it openness, but if we start proprietary APIs on top of it then we are getting locked in.

Very good approach. Also having some controls like feature flags per customer/user is very useful. Sometimes migration takes a while and it is useful to move users gradually through those phases with ability to rollback.
