presumably it may be less because the bundle will contain less patents but that wouldn't be an unreasonable position to take, you are right.

Good. This will hopefully force the matter and get all the patent claims out in the open. I doubt that actual holders of patents will play their cards close to their chests here because the upside of the cut of the bundle license for their

Please oh please open source it. You failed to do it with Be, please learn from the past!

The fuzzy finder is very fast but it's missing a key thing from textmates fuzzy finder ( Command-T for vim is missing this as well ) that's a bias for close proximity of the character matches. shrb should match a file called shop.rb before

I think making this an opt in feature is poor strategy. This should be opt out for the people who know what they are doing.

That's the understatement of the century. Apple is not a company, it's a exoskeleton for Steve Jobs. The two entirely symbiotic and probably cannot survive on their own anymore.

Afaik hive has no indexing at all. That's part of why it's so simple (well, for hadoop folks) to use. All you need to do is copy a bunch of csv, tsv, logs, whatever in a HDFS path, tell hive some basic infos about the files and you can join

Not quite as nice as the incredible mrjob, but it's a good start in a great language.

Is it not the greatest idea we have ever come up with? Sure there are tons of issues with it but it also converted the planet from tribal warfare to incredible prosperity over the last hundreds of years.

I don't have the answer to it yet. However, it will likely involve exposing them to WoW or it's equivalent and then showing them how more long term sound activities can be even more rewarding.

It seems to be stated as a fact in this discussion that you can't play a game such as WoW and do anything other productive on the side, but it's a lot more nuanced. Anecdotally, I've been playing WoW almost non stop since it launched and ha

Agreed. I wish normal SQL dbs would implement a mode where index misses result in errors unless they contain some sort of opt in text.

Great field, this is a very common request we are getting but it's not a true market fit for Shopify. Consider building it as a Shopify app so that you can market it to our customer base and through our sales.

That's great and I have indeed heard good things about iNovia. Granted I mostly dealt with Ottawa VCs who have all made their bank during the heyday of the tech bubble in telecommunication industry. We were speaking completely different lan

Totally agreed. We will get much better at this in the future. Unfortunately 2/3 of the funding team (me included) are english-second-language.

Well as you can see, the post was taken out of the Profitable & Proud series and was renamed to a QA right after posting. I guess we are not technically bootstrapped by some incredibly demanding definition of the term. To me all those t

The last Canadian VC I talked to accused me of being uninterested in growing my company after I didn't want to show up for some event with their LPs... Being insulted by a VC is almost a rite of passage up here.

It is peer 2 peer within the lan ( see options - enable lan syncing ). This is great for companies that manage shares though dropbox. This way you don't have 40 people download the same bit.
