Why do people say it 'Cant be tracked'? Its a fully public ledger. I would think that it could be tracked much easier than dollars that remain liquid or laundered.

Kindly disagree. If a business has a need that is critical to the business, not hiring a person with technical experience to manage technical things is just a mistake (or the business being lazy). I dont understand the shying away from hiri

Maybe you're selling it wrong, or presenting yourself inappropriately. Namely, if I want to climb everest, and I walked up a local hill - it would seem silly to say "Look everybody at me I'm on my way to climbing everest!&quo

I pretty much disagree, and I think you would if you spent more time in NYC - there are definitely some crazy things that happen in NYC (having lived there for a while), but i think its too general and somewhat unhelpful to simply chalk thi

The bad grammar makes it hard to take this post seriously (my something-is-off spam-detector goes off I guess, trained from years of sifting through fradulent emails).

So, i realize this project is early, but it would be EXTREMELY helpful to walk through someone's use case - like, who is the target here? A business analyst who iterates on cleaning / analyzing small excel csvs? Or someone else? A

Im just reading into it, but you sound both depressed, and also like you are finally growing up =D. Things aren't always beautiful and rosey. You will find eventually how to take a longer-term view of the world, to slow down, to start

In my experience, if you are seeing huge effects like 60% difference in conversion, etc, you probably did something wrong (i.e. too small sample, didn't wait long enough, etc) - I've never seen something this large by simply movin

I think the KEY thing here is that you wrote the tests, that gave someone the 'confidence' to say whether or not they were even on the right track - this is amazing - the tests give exactly the right context for someone to div

If i flipped a regular coin 1000 times, and happened to get 900 heads in a row, you may think 'hey, something is wrong with this coin' - however, could you be sure something is up? How would you go about telling whether something

everyone should have an ssh key that can be added to certain groups. Or a login to a VPN, or otherwise. Have some devops people responsible for managing access, i.e. adding people to appropriate groups when needed, and removing them when th

Agree with this. 1. Have you determined the capacity, and cost of freemium vs paid users? 2. Your pricing should, at the least, cover your costs. 3. Before any large marketing push, make sure you can handle the estimated load, and have a pl

Instead, the learning point here maybe is that, if you spend the time to spec something out properly, and make it into a nice little package, and say its for the good of the government and community, maybe you can get some altrustic program

Interesting thoughts. However, this argument is biased because it assumes that the performance of the applicants WHO WERE ACCEPTED is not biased by the selection process itself, and that the performance characteristics of the selected sampl

Good post mortem, just some thoughts, would love to hear what others think. Shouldn't the app developers be in charge of deploying their code and making sure its working? It seems odd that they pass off a migration like this to a DBA t

It seems like you have a pretty good gig now! Don't let boredom get the best of you, you can always request more / different work, take on new challenges, etc. It could be exactly the same 6 months down the road on your new job. A

You probably just dont want to do whatever you are trying to do, simple as that. Seriously, ask yourself whether, deep down, this is something you really 'want' to do, or its something you feel you 'have' to do (school?

What about the performance implications, i.e. depending on language, you are iterating the list multiple times, which can be slower sometimes than just one iteration through.

I have seen some kaggle competitions do image transformations and put the data back into the training set to increase the robustness of the classifier. For instance, rotating images, slightly skewing them, etc. I would propose that for this

I like to always start with YAGNI, and then try some of these exercises after I already have something that kind of works - its much easier imho to refactor something that is simple and gets the job done, i.e. add-to versus something that i

A better description of the audience you were teaching to would be super helpful, because how you teach needs to be tailored to the crowd. Making a generic statement like you will never start with TDD anymore doesn't make sense. To be

Turns out that the amount of 'good companies' that you describe is extremely small, unfortunately. However, there is an alternative - be the change you want to see. Its going to take work - but maybe you could arrange lunches, or
