Thank you for this. Reading the VC letters was just so amazingly refreshing I can't begin to tell you. I love how they said "no" in almost all the same ways. I'd really like to know the two that were so standup, that the

What I would love to know is if Mahout works out of the box with Spark or if there's a third party library that bridges the two.

My only question is... does Gunicorn+Gevent work on Python 3 yet? Last time I checked one worked and the other only had a branch which you could use but wasn't in master yet.

How about this 2.days.from_last_update? What does it do? What is going on with "from_last_update"? Is it actually reaching out to a database to find the last updated value? Which database? How do you configure it? All these questi

Ah, it was people like you who did this even when, as you said it should never happen, that caused me many a late night... 'cause it did and that empty catch block hid it. Don't leave empty catch blocks. At least put in some form

The problem with time on site is that it can also mean "time spent looking for what I want to see but can't 'cause I can't find it." For a commerce site or a saas site this is terrible user experience. For FB, it&#x

I love Redis and have a ton of respect for him, his accomplishments, and what he's given the community. I now how a ton of respect for someone else. We all make tradeoffs. Redis is great at what it does. I will use it for that.

This is what happens when people try to add too much "magic." It's a side effect of many things, the most obvious being the lack of the language support for expressing these types of things. It is the same sort of issue that

Been playing around with RxJs and wonder how much difficulty would it be to combine React with this? RxJs seems to work particularly well with Angular but I know Back one much better. is there harmony between the two?

You going to go enterprise with this? That is, "mailboxes for your website." Would pay for that. Currently most email providers only send messages. I can get that from Amazon. What I can't get is an inbox for users which I ha

Ok so... 1) How will they afford SIPC coverage? (That is the insurance for your money in case they fail.) 2) Will they do any securities lending with purchased stock? 3) How much will they charge for selling a stock short? 4) Taxable report

No it doesn't. If you think that way then you have more to learn on how to structure your code.

I would humbly disagree with your second assessment on two fronts: 1. It's not that hard to get people using immutable data structures. You just have to remind them during code reviews. It's not that "var" doesn't h

Actually in medicine we have both the good and bad of patents. For any drug to be brought to market in the U.S. there is, by necessity, a long and expensive process to ensure a drug does more benefit than harm. This process can cost million

No, patents serve a good purpose outside of software and in many disciplines. It's just in software where we see the worst side of the patent system, i.e. "tack on computer to anything and it's 'original.'"

Amazing. Am loving following this language and its take o. structural typing. Question: Is Intel so dominant that optimization of AMD chips isn't a high priority? Not complaining.

Who cares? you know what's in NYC that trumps that consideration? The opposite sex in balanced ratios. Finding your life partner far outweighs salary or living expenses any day of the week.

When the FDA sends you a letter like this, you either pay a fine and change tactics or you embark on one of the most frustrating approval processes known to the world (all for people's protection.) Good luck with that.

One would argue that both are flawed because they are, in essence, a function which is not espressing itself clearly and cleanly. You are co-mingling state with computation in a way that obscures and loses the advantages therein. If you wan

Seen that happen a bunch of times. When it happened to Zynga wasn't surprised in the least. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

I hate to say this but: "first they came for the communists, I didn't ck.plain because I wasn't a communist..." I don't want them to come for me. Cameras are one thing, it cuts both ways. This is different. (quote:

Um, no. There really aren't 10x engineers unless you're comparing someone with 2+ yrs experience to someone with 0 yrs. And by years experience, I mean years spent actually making things to completion. What you'll eventually

Yeah, they keep insisting on logging me into google+. I keep declining but I somehow ended up with an account. I detest forced integration and such. I enjoy the free email but I'm thinking of switching to Opera's email spin-off. R

I think a lot of what people were ruffled about was his remarks about reinventing the wheel. There are preferred ways of writing code in all languages, some more extreme than others. However, while Scala is backwards compatible with Java, i

Wow, the Hazelcast guys came to our office and allowed us to pepper them with all the questions we could. They were smart, open and honest with their answers. I think this is the sign of things to come with some of the jvm targeted librarie

Wow and here I thought that passing a "Tech Interview" just got you a job offer. Now I learn that this company, unlike every other company full of geniuses, is impossible to join. Makes me want to join them even more! Reminds me o
