From top of my head:

* Noisy Open Offices.

* The notion that real devs stay in office at least till 19:00

* Clueless technical staff. Hodgepodge of Scala, Java, Clojure, Groovy running on microservices/Docker/Hadoop/WhatsThatCurrentFad

* Below market salaries. There was an uproar in Zalando open house that some Sr. Devs are paid less than Jr. Devs.

* Interns as underpaid minions. One Rocket company even had the interns do the dirty dishes, clean kitchen and check on toilets.
Intuitively I think, the problem is much simpler compared to web search because it's a much smaller graph and each node gets checked against reality in some sense, while on the market and on Google things mostly only get compared with the competition under very obfuscated circumstances with extremely weak feedback loops. PageRank is probably unnecessary for most areas as they are small enough so that specialists can easily keep track of new publications. It could just be a useful tool for listing a lot of publications, but, as I said, measures like citation, review count and reputation of the institution are probably pretty good on their own. It was perhaps misleading that I've mentioned PageRank at all, it was just an idea that I had at the time I wrote the comment.
The ones I know become huge jerks if you cast doubt on their answers.

Rocket does one thing extremely well and I believe it's fundamental to both their success and something other European startups should seriously consider getting better at.

They localize their products and services extremely well, even outside of the EU[1].

This IMO is paramount to their success.

With regards to them copying other companies.

People need to understand just how hard it is to get a company up and running successfully in Europe.

I find it ironic that for all the talk about how ideas are useless and only execution matters, people surely do seem to be very sensitive about them. Most Italian restaurants copy each other, do we complain about that?

I'm sure. In my case the ES integration was botched and I didn't have time to learn a new piece of software to work out the kinks. It's been on my list of "tech-2-familiarize" but somehow never been exigent enough to pull the trigger on.
> And as for "exclusive YouTube content" it makes zero sense to have the same monthly fee as Netflix and somehow think that PewDiePie is going to compete with Orange is the New Black or House of Cards.

The (mostly teenage) audience for Youtube celebrities is massive, and is probably mostly invisible to you if you don't know any kids. I don't know whether they'd be willing to pay for a subscription service, but regardless of whether you think Netflix is higher quality than Youtube, there are many millions of people who get their entertainment mostly just from Youtube.

So if you're aiming for zero downtime rollbacks with Django, here's how adding a new field to a model might work:

1) Add a Migration that adds the new field, but allows null. Deploy.
2) Add the field to the model. Also make sure it sets it's default on write. Deploy.
3) Execute a background task to set the field to whatever it's default value should be.
4) Add migrations to enforce integrity and add indexes. Deploy.
5) Actually deploy code that needs the new field.

Yes, this is super annoying, no, most people don't do this. Separating out #1 and #2 means you can always roll back all the way to right after #1 without losing any data. An extra, nullable field on a model with no indices on it shouldn't hurt anything.

I think the battery will be impossible to reengineer. No factory will exist anywhere to make those tiny old pathetic, flammable things.
Your best bet is to reach out to your network (friends, former classmates, coworkers, etc.) and let them know you're available.

I've also found freelance websites to be pretty hard (I know of some successes, but they were full-time freelancers). If you do a good job, you can escape the race to the bottom.

Anecdotally, the best freelance job I got was through Hacker News.
Great summary and very needed at this time to make sense of a number of trends. A minor nit: I think it would be better if he didn't overload the long ago claimed term "Data Modeling" and specifically called it Generative and Predictive Modeling.

I know what you mean, but in a way I find it strangely reassuring that the head of the CIA is (in some respects at least) plain old old-skool dumb.

It tends to confirm me in my suspicions that the media-projected image of ruthlessly efficient and mindbogglingly smart intel apparatchiks is a fantasy, and that the reality might be more like Burn After Reading[1]

Aziz Ansari has a great bit about this. Excerpt:

>Why do we always want the best? I had to get a toothbrush the other day. Before I left my house, I searched “best toothbrush.” It seemed like the sensible thing to do.

>As I typed in the searchbox, the auto-fill completed the thought immediately. I wasn’t alone in my toothbrush purchase insecurity. A flurry of articles came up with conflicting opinions and, for a moment, I felt stupid.

>Every toothbrush I bought on a hunch has been fine. I’ve never been disappointed in a toothbrush. Why waste my time trying to find the best? Have you ever run into someone with no teeth and asked, “What happened?”

>And they replied, “Bought the wrong toothbrush. Should have done more research.”

Moc does that. If like me you're not a music player guy you can use mplayer in slave mode, reading from a playlist created with `find | sort`. I made a script to do that and some other stuff. https://gist.github.com/afarah1/e8cbafaf1d9d8029c6ca
> Maybe our continued repetition that "the regular consumer doesn't know the difference..." is why "the regular consumer doesn't know the difference".

I've worked helpdesk for users and being exposed to regular, everyday, computer users I can attest that the consumer doesn't know the difference because they don't care enough to learn.

One of my first questions was: "Did you try pressing the power button?" I would get silence....then a quick "Thank You" ... then a dead line.

Another anecdote: My mother is a programmer (DB2, Cobol, SQL) for a financial institution. She is of middle class in NYC and educated. She still uses an iPhone 3g and the iPad i got her for her birthday, three years ago, has been turned on exactly 5 times.

That's the everyday user...and you want her to automate a home?

Given that CDNs are used on many different sites, it's easy for people running CDNs to track other people around the internet.

There are also security issues: if you're referencing some JavaScript from a CDN, you're trusting the people running the CDN to actually serve the JavaScript you request.
AFAIK I have previously used several hundred GB in a month over Three (when moving house) and it wasn't throttled at any point. Anecdotal, but I'm not aware of an obvious limit.
Is it just me, or does this (and the last few milestones) read like a burning car crash?

The regressions around type parameter syntax and statics feel especially painful.

If the language keeps getting more and more compromised with every milestone, why not stick with Java 9? This hardly qualifies as a "better Java" anymore...
David Pogue Gets Car Hacking Dangerously Wrong
I think the tone of this comment was lost in translation. I'm not saying I agree with this practice, it's abhorrent. But it has happened enough times over the years that a company building something on top of a free API has to basically expect things to go south like this.
> That's got to be intended!

More or less. I'd say it's a "solution" that the market found for the race-to-the-bottom problem.
Agreed. I watch a lot of sports and have been disappointed that they removed slow motion and frame by frame advance years ago and have little interest in adding it back. Still, I am paid for Plex pass to support them because I find it works better than anything else for me.
Wrong. On Roku, at least, if you want to watch Plex you MUST have an online account now. And, you're not able to manually add your server if the Roku client can't auto-discover it. For some reason I have to do that, but they took that option away.

They've "streamlined" it to the point of unusability.
Much enjoyment from the rest of it too here.
I use Plex on my Roku, and it works great (when my rather old laptop can keep up with transcoding). It already looks like that new media player...
Curiously, this was published just this month: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal....
They've found a pretty dangerous way of improving their symptoms, though. Depending on the underlying cause, something like an iron supplement or some psychotherapy would likely also improve symptoms in a much safer manner.
To add a bit of a counter-point, seeing as I found this paragraph recently, here's a section from "Flash Boys" by Michael Lewis. It's discussing the experience of Sergey Aleynikov, the Goldman Sachs hacker that later got sued, when coming to America:

> He arrived in New York city in 1990 and moved into a dorm room at the 92nd Street Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association, a sort of Jewish YMCA. Two things shocked him about his new home: the diversity of the people on the streets and the fantastic range of foods in the grocery stores. He took photographs of the rows and rows of sausages in Manhattan and mailed them to his mother in Moscow. "I'd never seen so many sausages," he says. But once he'd marveled at the American cornucopia, he stepped back from it all and wondered just how necessary all of this food was.

> [...]

> In the end he became a finicky vegetarian."
I think they should pass a hacking test.
That's a useful result, I jokingly thought they were going to say Tuna since its been such a challenge in the Pacific. The next step I suppose would be to turn this stuff out in bulk and line drain pipes to see how well it works passively?

I didn't pick up if it was reversible, do you discard it after it has become saturated?
Could you provide more details on this?

Agreed. I love what Plex allows me to do it, but the UI has taken a nose dive in recent months. Or at least the Roku app, which looks identical to this, has.
This out-of-touchness reminds me of 1988, when adults were shocked to hear that Mario was now more recognizable to children than Mickey Mouse.

17 Critical Facts About YouTube Red and YouTube Music
And your parents weeped for a generation raised by MTV. It is very easy to mis-characterise and or dismiss the younger generation's content, it is also ironic as your parents and their parents did exactly the same thing.
Seems to fix the wrong problem to me.

The major issue, as best i can tell, is that most package managers can't handle having multiple minor versions of the same lib installed side by side. This because they sort on name-version basis.

Heck, even with major versions the separation is usually a hack by putting the major version number into the name part of the package id (name1-version, name2-version, etc).

Thus you get conflicts when you want to install name-version and name-version+1 at the same time.

This is not a Linux problem though, as on the OS level the libs are separated using the soname system.

Plex was great until they forced the Plex Pass on us. I have now switched to using the Kodi [http://kodi.tv/] and Emby [https://emby.media/] combo instead.

To be fair, this is what homeopaths would also say. Without a double blind test of some sort, their conclusion is spurious.

I strongly suggest the ES 2 day training course. I think it's called Core Elasticsearch. It dives deep into how ES works under the hood. It also provides a great overview of all the available features.

What I loved most about the course is that the presenters were extremely knowledgeable and gave great tips on how to manage your schema with ES and configure the clusters so that you don't encounter performance issues later on.

You can do some amazing things with ES, that you wouldn't necessary even know you could.

One example is the percolator[0], which can be used to slam new documents against existing queries and essentially classify the document based on search queries.

A great read.

Thesis of the article: "Insightful statisticians have for at least 50 years been laying the groundwork for constructing
that would-be entity as an enlargement of traditional academic statistics. This would-be notion of Data Science is not the same as the Data Science being touted today, although there is significant overlap. The would-be notion responds to a different set of urgent trends - intellectual rather than commercial. Facing the intellectual trends needs many of the same skills as facing the commercial ones and seems just as likely to match future student training demand and future research funding trends"

"Data Science" is currently a field where corporations are winning in defining what activity academic universities should support. This article is a nice pull back in the other direction, and focusing on the intellectual rather than commercial elements.
> I could see that certain real nutritional deficiencies could be helped by drinking blood. Iron deficiency jumps to mind.

Any come to mind, given that blood transports nutrients all the time. And that might explain why these "vampires" feel so gratified upon ingestion, they seem to suffer some slight chronic deficiency. Now IIRC we don't really know "all micronutrients in existence" yet so it might not even show up on a blood panel. Wonder whether any of them ever tried pig or snake blood on a trip to China/Taiwan/Hongkong (or cattle blood while visiting a Maasai tribe) and felt similarly "energized"..
iTunes proved that.

People were stealing music prior to its release not because they were thieves at heart but because it was the only way most of them could find most of the music they wanted.

iTunes put the entire music industry to shame by simply showing that if, instead of fearing downloading, they had given a good, legal venue to sell music, people would in fact be willing to pay.

Q: Is Clojure bootstrapped on something other than JS or JVM or CLR?

A: No, and don't waste your time on this talk if you already have watched any of Rich Hickey's talks, this is an ego-stroke at best that introduces no new solutions to any problems. It's an hour and a half of 'Hey look what clojure can do', and 'Gee, our documentation isn't great'.

Maybe someday Clojure will have something like the Shen project has with KLambda. A tight, core language implementable in any language, and a language library built on top of that core language, agnostic of the implementation it's derived on.

If Clojure had gone this route, we could basically have Clojure on any platform capable of parsing and modifying S-Expressions.

Maybe someday!

OK. The actual quote from the linked reference was

As a Windows user (I work at a think tank, not a startup--no choice in the matter), Atom is still very buggy. I don't know what the Mac experience is like, but the few folks I've asked haven't reported any of the kinds of issues I have. These Windows-only bugs usually don't get ironed out in a timely fashion, and I suspect the reason is that very few Atom developers use Windows. Can't really have cross-platform development when the majority of your developers all choose one platform over another.
Cmus does cache all the metadata — in the file named, unsurprisingly, «cache». You can restart cmus, and notice that the startup will be instant (even on an HDD with 100+GiB of music).

Re-adding the ~/music should work fine. There is also an `:update-cache` command which will update the metadata for all (changed) files, and remove the missing ones.
Plex is very usable without the Plex Pass.

Depending on the age of the child in question, _all_ advertising may be inappropriate: children under ~7 tend to lack the executive function to differentiate between entertainment and advertising, and to reason about any agenda the advertiser might have.

Many television broadcast regulators limit the amount and type of advertising presented to children (including the very liberal FCC), and in some cases even prohibit such advertising altogether (e.g. the province of Quebec in Canada). So far, regulations have not caught up with the Youtube generation, even though many parents treat streaming media equivalently to broadcast in how it is used by their children.
I have an older Three contract that they are still honouring, and I haven't yet experienced speed restrictions that were noticeable at all, or been capped.

This is good news. I'm using RasPlex on a Raspberry Pi 2, which for all its shortcomings is the best home entertainment solution I could find. This has the potential to be better (where better means more reliable, with better user experience).
FYI:

It's not just a matter of putting people in a freezer; if you do that, ice crystals will form and totally destroy the brain structures you're trying to preserve. The actual procedure involves pumping cryoprotectants into arteries very shortly after death (it has to be quick). Nearly all of the cost is in the procedure performed at time of death; once that's done, long-term refrigerated storage is trivial by comparison.
