Thanks Olivier, interesting read. I particularly liked the second chart. I hadn't appreciated that holacracy had less hierarchy of people than flat orgs.
Yes it does.

You don't like the idea that luck could be the actual all embedding factor of success.

"If you believe that people, to some extent "make their own luck" via their choices and actions, then you could just as easily speculate that if "lucky event A" didn't happen, then something else "lucky" would have happened anyway."

No you can't speculate that at all. But I would like to see you try.

You are just trying to insist that there is this path to success that can be taken without luck being involved which just isn't the case.

The question that was asked is whether grit is the one factor to become successful.

It's not, it can't be because if it was everyone who had grit would be successful they are not and so something else is needed. That thing is luck. Whether lucky that you were born with better of parents, higher IQ, extreme talent, went to the right school, meet the right people at the right time, have the right idea at the right time and so on.

Grit is only there to make you stay in the game long enough that you might end up being successful but it can never be the all encompassing factor that explains it all. Only luck can.
The technology seems interesting, but I can't find any more or less technical information about it (nothing more than a few lines introductory lines). Links, anyone?

I'm not picking through all that hyperbole and condemnation of every dev that isn't you to try a maintain a reasonable argument.

So I go with a "those in glass houses" approach:

The only reason I can't see the terrible quality of your website's photos on my phone is that all the content is so damn small and zoomed out I can barely make out the text never-mind the picture pixels. I don't really want to zoom in because the shade of lime green you've chosen is so jarring it'll likely give me a migraine if it fills the screen.
Of course you can. You're essentially describing the entire technology industry, i.e. write software once and capture significant global value from it. (Google, Facebook, Youtube, every SaaS or app company in the world, etc)

These managers that make billions of dollars - they own their firm. It's a profitable private company, but a company nevertheless. If I own a company with 500 employees making widgets, as the owner, if the business turns a profit, I will collect those profits.
There are plenty of people with grit but without success. There are also plenty of people without grit and with success.

Until you reach 10B datoms and then you're off for a fun ride sharding with multiple databases. Also in an IoT context or more general timeseries usage you very likely don't care about tx, but very much do about write throughput and not having a spof, which Datomic isn't good at at all.

Datomic is an ok choice in some contexts, but the one detailed here is not one of them, you're likely to reach Datomic limits quickly and be in a world of hurt when you do.

>your point

I made several points in my comment :-)

I imagine you were referring to the first point - that we, as hackers are lucky in our projects and work in that there is often good clarity as to likely questions, but that vi vs emacs means that there is no clarity. I believe that this is not a good example of our work and our close technical projects but rather that you are agreeing with my other points, that it's about social dynamics and people being invested in a certain community. That is, vi vs emacs is about groups, but it's not about trolling. A troll is an individual. An entire other community, whilst helping to define other communities by its opposition cannot be labelled a community of trolls. Most people do not consider 4chan to be a community of trolls, for example. I don't think there has ever been a community of trolls, and if there has, they have never identified themselves as such.
If you find this interesting, you might enjoy The Rise and Fall of American Growth, which spends much of its time discussing the dramatic changes in American working and living conditions since the 1870s. It will certainly erase and illusions you have about the good old days.

The conclusion (that the tech industry will not generate nearly as much growth as the previous revolution after 1870) is HN bait, and probably deserves a separate discussion.
What would be a reliable source of web searches market share ?

A few (ironically, Google) searches yielded wildly different results, reporting anything from 3% to 20% as Bing's share.

Regardless, even 1% would be a decent sample, I think, considering we are still talking about huge numbers, and people with iPhones or Android devices using Google as their main search would have similar usage patterns.

MongoDB is really, really bad. I've never come across another product that was so horrible and yet so widely used.

MongoDB: for when you don't need consistency, availability, or partition tolerance.

There are some really good NoSQL products out there. I seriously think RethinkDB is on par with Postgres. I've also used Cassandra and BerkeleyDB and they're both decent. But unless some core part of your business logic is pathological to implement in SQL (like Reddit's comment trees) you should go with Postgres.

Holy shit, that's a nice app. I have many (adult) students who would greatly benefit from its simplicity, any way to get a discount/promo code for them? You can reach me at my username @ gmail.com. Edit: this isn't a strictly "educational" setup - these are corporate students, not academic.
That's my usage. I have a Windows machine next to my Mac that I only use rarely, but I often power it on anyway for Cortana. The majority of my 'searches' are just simple questions like "Hey Cortana, what's the time in Berlin?" where it's faster to ask than to fumble with my phone's world time app.
If the product and sales channels suggest that "get quote" is a plausible strategy, this suggests to me that focusing conversions from a landing page call to action may not be the critical path to growth right now.

The process is of providing quotes is high touch and human-in-the-loop on your end. The web, the browser, and text all create friction friction. Maybe meat-eating sales teams will offer better conversions, conversations, and relationships.

To put it another way, right now the business cannot offer standard pricing. That's incompatible with ordinary expectations for a website's call to action. Even worse, there's two decades of negative expectations behind "give me us email address": giving a company an email address is a commitment to managing recurring inbox spam for years to come.

So what random advice from the internet do I have? Maybe the call to action is a phone number to talk to a meat-eating sales person. Maybe the next step is to get a handle on pricing. Maybe it's to hire the best designer money can buy.

Good luck.

One need not even tell a truth to troll - one can merely ask a question that has no good answer.

These are my best trolls: "what are the underlying principles that lead you to believe X?" "what evidence - if any - would cause you to hold a different belief?"

It's the best troll, because when folks come up with no answer they usually resort to ad-hominem attacks. That's usually how you know you've raised a very good point.

"The cost" is a gameable concept.

Also, this proposal means that while the patent is not expired, production is still monopolized.

And there is the issue of testing vs. research. There is an argument to be made that drug development isn't the hard part (or at least not always). The hard part is figuring out how to use the drug, and doing clinical trials to prove efficacy and safety.

E.g. we currently live in the wonky situation where there is little incentive to discover new uses for existing out-of-patent drugs. It's much more worthwhile to find a new drug that does the same thing.

I think patents-as-monopolies are a bad idea. A citation-based subsidy and/or fixed license fee, preferably on a decreasing schedule with a capped or only slowly growing integral would align motives with outcomes more clearly.

I mean, I don't see the problem if research becomes independently specialized from exploitation.
Nothing's wrong with one time pads. They're as good as they've ever been, which is to say: completely impractical for use on the internet and almost all other computing applications.

Hey guys,

I'm Chris and I made this bot. I wanted a quick and easy way to reference XKCDs in our company's Slack team, and after finding most existing solutions are self hosted I decided to make it into an app that you can easily integrate. All it does is register a slash command.

It first attempts to match your comic by its title. If that doesn't find a match it will do a Bing web search and take the first (and hopefully the most relevant!) result.

Let me know what you think.

Before any bias is expressed against motherjones, all I want to say is that these two articles are the only even quasi-critical voices I have seen, which also points out the timing and circumstances that surrounded the publication of the article that enamored me of James Simons: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/08/science/a-billionaire-math...

Anyway, everything is grey and nothing is black and white. Just wanted to put something on the other side of the scale.

A great feeling to have. I remember a similar teacher who could probably account for the death of ten trees every class with the reams of worksheets she'd hand out. Asked to speak to her before class to see if I could be moved as our 'teaching/learning' styles didn't link up. She refused to speak in private and insisted I spoke in front of another teacher she was chatting with at the time. Thanks, you've just given me an audience I thought. Was cheeky in the way I spoke, was sent to principal who was very straightforward in saying that this teacher was on her way out and his hands are tied to do anything about her. Asked me to apologize for the cheekiness (insincere apologies from teenagers? par for the course really) and then was happily moved to another class. But anyways, enjoyed that feeling of 'I know I'm not in trouble here'.
Agreed. VS supports dozens of languages across web, desktop, mobile, etc. C#, VB, F#, C, C++, JavaScript, T-SQL, Python... and that's just what I can list off the top of my head.

This irritates me with corporate management types too, trying to tell you what to do without telling you, and therefore avoiding responsibility for their guidance.

TS enhanced version of riak_core, got it.

Most TS, or tick DBs, are columnar-based, memory-mapped, fast and light systems.

Are there any benchmarks similar to STAC-M3, which is a year's worth of NYSE data run on different hardware to gauge kdb+'s effectiveness on different hardware configurations [1]? It's a great way to gauge performance and TCO.

Does it do both memory (streaming data) and disk-based (historical) storage for big data set analytics in realtime?

I'd be interested to see numbers there.

A lot of people think kdb+ is only for finance. There is a conference coming up in May that will have talks on q (the language for the kdb+ database) about natural language processing and machine learning in q to name a few. Another is about using it at a power plant to most efficiently route power based upon realtime data [2].

I only got into kdb+ and q with the free, non-commercial 32-bit version. I usually use J and sometimes APL, which had MapReduce since at least the 80s for APL.Check out this post from 2009 [3]. I guess the 'new shiny' bit threw me in your chosen title.
