Mountain View, CA - H1B LinkedIn is hiring engineers at all levels! Here's a canonical job posting: http://www.linkedin.com/jobs?viewJob=&jobId=1588634&... I personally work on the Search, Network, and Analytics team, building our

Egg on my face. The reference totally blew past me, and it's clever enough that it probably belongs. Something cool like this used to get lots of discussion. Mainly it's just controversial stuff or business stuff that seems to bubble up and

I don't have enough karma to downvote you, but I don't think this kind of attitude is appropriate here. This is a pretty neat project. In the Unix era, people believed operating systems had to be written in assembly and that an OS in C woul

You absolutely need proguard since the Scala library is several megs in size, and will likely grow bigger when specialization goes everywhere.

It's worth noting that www.typesafe.com is now supporting the Eclipse plugin commercially as well. Both the IntelliJ and Eclipse plugins have made huge advances in the last year.

I really liked Griffiths. I thought it had struck a great balance between explanations, mathematics, and examples. That book had great examples and homework questions, which I find the most useful anyway.

"Even if you land that good high-paying gig, the white guy with the pedigree from a mediocre state university will somehow move ahead of you in the ranks simply because he’s white." Going to Harvard doesn't and shouldn't guarantee that you'

I'm not the parent, but I usually consider anything requiring fairly intimate knowledge of the hardware and operating system "systems programming", such as writing a database. Others seem to refer to it as anything that could be considered

Let's be fair here. Numerical processing is not representative of most applications, but I concede the point. It's an interesting question though. I'm a Haskell beginner, but I'm pretty experienced with Scala. Let me try to see how using sl

Here are a couple of reasons why I think it's not so clear cut: 1. If garbage collection was that damaging to the cache, Haskell wouldn't be nearly as fast as C. 2. Copy-on-write data structures are nice because the immutability allows for

I can't say whether much has changed within the last year, but when I worked at FathomDB we had serious issues with EBS. You couldn't trust it. Odd things would happen like disks getting stuck in a reattaching state for days and disks havin

If the data is sharded, then the data/server is small enough enough to fit within the individual server's disk and you no longer need EBS to store it.

I imagine they'd do consider some combination of the following (sorted by most likely) 1. Sharding data 2. Pulling tables out to other servers from the main DB 3. Pruning excessive data 4. Compressing data

I think I was a smart twelve year old for several reasons, actually. There's the genetic component, but there's also the time I spent in MathCounts (probably the best investment I or my parents have ever made) and the time I spent reading b

How do you equate poor performance on a standardized test with being less fortunate? It's my opinion that university admissions are way to lenient and that we'd do well to ratchet them up a major notch. Let community colleges serve their pu

Pitiful. 75% of the students made below a 26 on the ACT. I scored at that level in 7th grade!

Maybe you could have a color range indicating roughly how good the comment was? I like the feedback a lot the numbers gave but I think hiding the actual numbers would be a good thing so people don't play the numbers game too much.

Did you consider the distributed, real-time, and faceted extensions to Lucene we (LinkedIn) built? Sensei, Zoie, and Bobo respectively. Get em at http://sna-projects.com/sna/

You're full of it. In what way does .NET hamper you? Why can't you make a "1.7oz burger"? It's a full-blown programming environment - the limit to what you build is what your mind can conceive.

I'm doing this now, but the higher tax bracket (not to mention the California taxes in general) make it not nearly as nice an option as it could be.

It should affect them automatically. We know Bing uses Googles search -> page results coming from the Bing toolbar. If a site's ranking is reduced by Google, the same should happen (maybe to a much smaller extent) in Bing since that fea

I program in Scala because it's my pseudocode. Filter this. Transform that. Collect these. I need an object that does such and such. I'd like some new functions on an object from another library. For the most part, Scala has an immediate, d

Will you really be able to pull that off? I imagine certain parts of the code base you could use CI, but Rackspace servers cannot have downtime. If I were a Rackspace customer, I wouldn't want innovation - I'd want my boxes to never go down

Andre Agassi was addicted to meth for Pete's sake. This is a joke of an argument.

More about his Item 11 on cloning. Writing a case class gives you a "copy" method which is an abstraction of clone where you can write something like val newFoo = oldFoo.copy(bar = someBar)

It would be actually easier to hire a good Scala than a good Java programmer because most Scala programmers are good. PG has an essay on this phenomenon somewhere. I'm also not confident that Java will "catch up" to Scala. There's more to S
