Python is a language that feels natural and easy to read/write, and helps you get sh*t done quickly especially for scripty/ml use cases.

Yup! I think you may be referring to a more production like usecase here. If you had to parse a csv to convert a column from Fahrenheit to Celsius and output that with the first column in a separate csv (dummy example) - python is so much f

Scripting languages are for writing scripts. Production code is much better served by typed languages. Use a Ferrari on a racetrack, use a fortified tank on the battlefield.

I have been pitching this idea to friends and family for three years or more :) Ideas are cheap though. Congrats on taking your first few steps on making this a realty reality. Would love to learn more about your level of funding, team etc.

Memorizing the method for sleep in javascript is the least of a staff engineer's concerns at Google. Besides, with something as easy to google and aided by the IDE, do you REALLY care? What matters is that the guy is able to design and

That's true now, but maintaining isn't the same as building new stuff. Amazon would have to invest more to build new functionality that Elasticsearch has devs and community helping them build. This assumes the ecosystem of devs ha

Pardon me if my question is dumb, but why did OP share this methodology? Could he not have continued with this for the rest of the keys once they are accessible? Don't you need all of the keys to get a million dollars, or am I missing

Newbie here. Questions: 1) Can somebody go over use cases and target customers, where one would prefer this over more traditional DBs. 2) Since this is centralized, it is in theory possible to go back to a previous state of the ledger. Is t

Justin, how big do you anticipate Atrium to become? Given how much money flows into legal services, my guess is over $10 billion as a conservative measure. Is there a ballpark figure that A16z or you think of as conservative, ambitious etc?

Thanks! For starting a company, is H1b the best visa to be on, or are there other alternatives. If it is easier, how do YC founders navigate visa (assuming they don't have a green card)? Please feel free to add constraints regarding fu

Hi Peter! I hold an H1B visa and am currently employed at a startup, but got an RFE. 1) Does the increased scrutiny in h1b applications bias towards approving applications only for well known companies? 2) Unrelated question, what are the

+1. Great for getting a lay of the land on distributed systems problems. I haven't ever studied distributed systems formally though, so I wonder how this differs from that.

Can you please expand on that? Do you mean inflated adjusted price?

Dahl was what I grew up reading. He was amazing, and I remember spending days just being captured in the delight of his books and the illustrations on the side.

Interestingly enough, ancient Indians(south Asia) recorded the speed of light to be 186k miles per second in 1500 BC. They did not document how they got that number but that is quite accurate!

Arab numerals actually come from India. Fun fact: Arabic goes from right to left but their numbers go from left to right, because they were learnt from Sanskrit which is written from left to right.

Whether you like it or not, Silicon Valley startups do have a habit of overemphasizing the tech aspects of their companies to get the best talent. It isn't a bad strategy, considering that it makes sure that your business or service is

It isn't necessary that a Unicorn must create something technically sophisticated and intricate. Airbnb is a service, not a tech product. This is an apples to oranges comparison. There are plenty of startups that work on challenging en
