Good question. The callout is about our biggest needs right now. We're still hiring for everything on our careers page. We've filled most of our new grad positions for this year, but we're always on the lookout for strong ca

I actually tried these guys out earlier this year when the main product was a full email-client, but just couldn't make myself move away from gmail. But so far, I am finding myself really liking the new gmail plugin/toolbar. It's recognize

Couldn't those cities move to tax the vacation rental industry, though? In developed markets like Paris, a majority vacation rentals are done through agencies (who manage cleanings, checkins checkouts, quality control, etc.). It would be

On the contrary, searching for "mainstream", "ft", "financial times", or "media" in the comments for the ft article suggests that people actually are discussing the fact that it is now in the mainstream media. It might not be the majority

Although it's correct that the article itself is completely derivative, the simple fact that the story is in the FT provides new information. The fact that this narrative can go mainstream is itself fascinating and new, and worth discussin

I'd count that response as a win. An "I am skeptical" from RMS is really mild -- it's like he actually told you he'd take what you said into consideration. He'll be so very brutally honest if he disagrees with you.

While living in France, I read a piece which claimed that roundabouts were safer in part because individuals perceive them as more dangerous (than lights, etc.). This leads people to pay more attention and be more careful when faced with a

Similar initiatives have already be pushed in other cities with vibrant short-term rental markets. Short term sublets are already outlawed in some neighborhoods of London (e.g. Belgravia, with a potential fine of ~20k pounds). There is als

I doubly agree with reading widely (+outside of tech) and speaking with people with expertize in other domains. The less-sexy the domain, the more opportunities for innovation. Too many (very smart) people out there looking at consumer int

I think Apple's got better things to do with their time than to police against the 3 Clojure iPhone/Pad developers out there using some kind of cross-language compiler. Plus, if Apple did start enforcing against Clojure->Objective-C, it

Both of those are about "loading requests" which happen pretty rarely in the larger scheme of things (on upload, new server for app, too much traffic so need to scale jvm). On my current project, it's 3.5-4 seconds. Definitely not ideal,

Saying java's "more relevant than [we] think" is sort of a straw man. It's relevant, it's just many developers don't like java: its syntax, its limitations, the java "culture" that surrounds it, the fact that many of us must know and use i

I'll interpret that as a dig against the App Engine and not Clojure... even though it's clearly aimed at either Clojure alone or the combination with GAE. Anyway, are you being serious (i.e., in your experience is clj+gae noticeably slower

I've been using Clojure w/ GAE to build an enterprise knowledge-base webservice for about 3 months now. It's my first serious project with Clojure on the GAE although I've been playing around with it since last summer. (1) On GAE you don't
