The only way to have any sense of a good or solid development platform or lifecycle is, to me, to look at your specific situation and tailor everything to your deliverables and needs. Doing anything because of industry trends or academic pontificating will lead you towards the solution someone else had success with in a different circumstance.

Microservices work fine in some situations, agile works fine in some situations, but until you find that you are in one of those situations trying to bend your deliverables to meet a sprint-cycle or some other nauseating jargon will cause, as you put it, over-complication or just poorly targeted effort. (It can also cause enough stress to dramatically affect your health, I know better than most)

Those moments of solidarity between product and effort are real gems that I've only recognized in hindsight.

Microsoft Thinks Maluuba Can Teach Machines to Converse by Making Chat a Game
Excellent writeup.
Russia was one of his last choices as a refuge; they were just one of the only countries to accept him.

I doubt he's fond of Russia, either, and he's made some passive-aggressive jabs at them on his Twitter.

That said, it can't be ruled out that he divulged even more secret information to Russia's intelligence services as a condition for asylum, but I don't think there's any evidence it was one of his motives when leaking.

Scribble – Dynamic Color Pen
>> Equity is a good bargain right before the next funding round — when cash balance is low and founders pay with shares.

I don't think that's true in general. If it's right before the next funding round, that's when terms can change to wipe you out (whether it's a down round or multipliers). I guess on-paper it can look good ("oh the valuation just increased 5x overnight!"), but it can do some pretty nasty things to your options' "value".
I think you confused trends for wisdom.

It used to be wise to wear bell bottom jeans and perm your hair. It also used to be wise to wear colored suspenders, or pocket protectors. And shoes with lights in them, and color changing shirts.

Granted, those same weird misguided trends were probably followed by the same people who accomplished everything we have today. I think it's the effort you put into the work that determines its output, not the details of its development.

Elementary – A fast and open replacement for Windows and macOS
- Oracle has hands on it and does questionable things like suing google

- Everything Java does, C# does as good or better. In general for everything in Java you could easily find a better way to do it.

- Java has lots of warts, many to have the language be backwards-compatible. (switch-case, enums, UTF-16 encoding, generics, null, difference between objects and basic types,...)

- Java is tied to old technologies. There are no standard JSON libraries, however even XSLT is included in java se.

- You need to use Java with an IDE. Eclipse is horrible to use (even scrolling lags here) and IntelliJ costs money.

Still java is a mature and solid language. There is just nothing to hype about it.
Earth Sets a Temperature Record for the Third Straight Year
Don't forget all the BS drawn from epidemiological "research". We ask 10,000 people how many cheeseburgers, eggs, tomatoes, etc. they eat in a week, at the start of the study, extrapolate that out for 10 years, see how many died, break the participants into arbitrary quartiles, and report everything as relative risk to pump the headlines: "Eating 2 cheeseburgers a week increases your risk of death by 75%"

None of this research passes even the most basic statistical sniff-test, and even if it did, the hazard ratios are so small as to be easily influenced by noise or confounders.
It's more about the integration side than the particulars of it. It's a huge project with different goals than ff, so it should be (and is being) treated as such.

How to Avoid Facebook Graph API Rate Limiting?
Hi everyone,

I'm building a mobile app that uses data from Facebook - fetching user profile, perform search.

Their documentation explains that are certain limits : Your app can make 200 calls per hour per user in aggregate. As an example, if your app has 100 users, this means that your app can make 20,000 calls.

I am concerned that I will reach this limit, meaning a bad experience for my users.

Did anyone was in a similar situation before ? Should I consider applying for Site Scraping Agreement ?

Thanks.
The article is not about early stage companies though: If a company has 20 employees, yes, chances are that the value is zero. But imagine you are joining one of those companies that aren't public, and have a large paper valuation: hundreds, if not thousands of employees, plenty of brand recognition and all that. Chances are that you are still paid in a way that resembles what Google or Facebook do, except instead of RSUs for a company that is publicly traded, you will probably get options, instead of a 100K+ salary premium over working at Google.

So that's the question you have to think about: Is it really sane to think that, say, two million bucks of Palantir options are worth exactly as much as what you get by joining a tiny 10 person startup that a very uncertain future and a far lower ceiling? Would RSUs with a dual trigger also be worth zero?

If this is really the case, everyone joining one of those companies is certifiably insane, because life is not that different from a bigger tech company, the hiring bar is not any lower, and in a publicly traded tech company, stock compensation is often quite large and very real. If that's not the case, then we need to understand those options a lot better than we do in tiny companies, and understand what happens if our stay is just a few years, while the company will remain private for longer, precisely because we expect the company to IPO at some point, making the options be worth something.
1. I think this is rather obvious, work with what you have. Maybe think about hiring specifically for areas your team is in lacking in, as long as the team as a whole will see decent benefit from it.

2. I hate to say you're doing microservices "wrong" but I'd really question project structure and practices being the culprit behind the cost of doing devops with microservices.

3. This seems like an engineering fault, rather than some implicit principle behind those concepts causing more downtime.

4. How is CI a plaster on the problem of microservices? CI is useful with or without microservices.

5. Agile was always meant to be a guideline, not an end all and be all. It's meant to get your team to figure out how it wants to work, and write code before process. See: http://agilemanifesto.org/

The problems you are describing seem like big problems with your team, engineering and management. No amount of process and technology is ever going to fix a dysfunctional (sorry if that's too blunt) team. What I get from this, instead of having processes in place that make it easy to move code out, you're removing tooling to slow things down intentionally with the superficial result of "stabilizing" the entire development effort. The solution appears to be to get your team to write less code, and force management to bow down to the new reality of these "stabilizing" changes. Both of which can and sometimes should be done regardless of processes and tooling in place.

The best code is the code you don't write. But don't blame the tooling on making it easy for a team to be lazy and remove the all important characteristic of a team self-critiquing (i.e, "Do we really need this feature", "That'd be nice to have but right now we're managing to get things done.", "Did I actually test my code, was it reviewed, or am I just counting on the fact that I can shove something else out later while our redundancy systems pick up the slack?")
I lived and worked in the UK for decades and never did my own tax return. When I moved to the US, the UK taxman spotted this, calculated that I had overpaid my taxes for that year and sent me a refund automatically.

I guess the reason why it's not done this way in the US is a combination of the general mistrust of government, and the lobbying from companies like Intuit to keep the tax system as complex as it is now.

As a psychologist/cognitive scientist, I personally advise

1. Exercise

2. Meditation in the morning (it works!)

3. Stay healthy! It affects your mood a lot (especially having a regular sleep schedule)

4. At least for now, reevaluate your long-term goals and how to achieve them

5. Don't work for such a long time period (especially if its not engaging).
Looks like you're right. I thought state and local taxes were deductible without itemizing but I was wrong. I've been itemizing for years so I guess I got that mixed up. (And I have no state income tax so it hasn't been a factor for years either.)

So that puts you back at the ~1000 mark for savings which probably gets you close to 1.5MM.

That's impossible to measure quantitatively. It's very clear that the leaks contributed to some degree, much like the email leaks and FBI notes to congress contributed to the election results, but how much? Nobody will ever know.
It's interesting how perspective matters so much. I grew up in Ontario, work for a tech startup here. One visit to silicon valley convinced me that I never want to work there. I hated the culture, I hated the lazy weather and accompanying attitude. I hated driving everywhere. I hated the prices.

Winter is probably a huge shock to many, but I think it builds character and can-do attitude. Plus hockey.
All problems revolve around structure, and as customers want more features, and capital builds, the structures get more complex. So we build even more complex structures to offset the complexity, but now things that were once simple get brought along and become more complex. Eventually the company hits a breaking point and re-invents it's structures to better suit their needs, but these grow in complexity once again given time. It is a never ending battle, and every business is at a different point in their complexity cycle.
Point 5 is really insightful. When you read it carefully, it implies that agile "methodology" will soon become the prevalent methodology. Because a successful project is all about managing a massive amount of "specific, discrete, communications issues". And doing so on a daily basis is the best option.

Off-topic note: point 5 is also the way to go with your wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend, your kids, your friends, etc.
Have you any suggestions about how we might quantify this for a meaningful comparison? I don't.
It's still tough from a liability standpoint as the loan needs to be 100% recourse for tax reasons, so you have to pay it all back even if the company goes under. With high valuations this might be a lot of money. You are therefore investing more in an underversified portfolio increasing an already high startup risk.
Unless it affects them directly, just like how tobacco smokers don't see any immediate bad effects from smoking. But they know somewhere down the line something awful will happen.

With appropriate ground corrections 5 cm is pretty easy with the current US satellites. Sub-meter in real time is also fairly easy with the help of WAAS broadcasts and good receivers.

Honestly if I were you I'd probably go for a long camping trip, like for a week or two. Or failing that, a vacation to some natural beautiful place.

Then cut down your hours. 40 hours a week is fine, and if someone tells you otherwise then explain to them that you're getting burned out and they'll get better productivity out of you if you work fewer hours.

Other than that, you need exercise, lots of natural light, a good diet, and lots of socialization opportunities.

The discussion here is about what happens when you quit. If you didn't exercise your options early, then you quit, the usual term says you have 90 days after you've quit. Pinterest and others have recently been highlighted for making much longer arrangements (years after quitting). If yours says the repurchase right doesn't kick in until 5 years after your employment is terminated, that's unusual and good for you!
I'm not sure what argument you think I was making other than 'yes, whistleblower programs exist' in response to the parent's question of

> Has there been any sort of "ethical" system designed to show a person how they are supposed to whistle blow?

As you helpfully exemplified, many people dismiss the IG's programs due to the potential for (or reality of) retaliation (which I mentioned), but I specifically wanted to avoid that whole set of arguments because there's only so many times I can read through all that.

Also, the first line in the DNI whistleblower program mentions "An IC employee, assignee, detailee, or contractor" so unless that means something other than the plain reading, it would apply to someone today who is similarly situated.
IANAL, but I do not believe you can file an 83(b) election for options. You can only file an 83(b) for NSOs or restricted stock. I am not sure if, post-exercise, the options become "owned options" or "restricted stock" and how the IRS views the difference between the two.

You're right, though you should end most of your comments with "for us".

We've been burned by the microservice hype, and it took a while for us to realize that most of the touted benefits are for larger organizations. These "best practices"" rarely include organizational context.

My whole point is that the USA can act without Europe having a say, whether Europe likes it or not. It's only reasonable for Europe to take that into account in what they do.

You can take some principled stand to make some sort of abstract point nobody will understand, and have the USA shoot down your satellites in the case of war. Or you can make a small change to your design and have the USA leave them alone. I don't see why taking the second option is so terrible.

The biggest issue I have is the current fashion for functional languages resulting in mixed style code bases. I've been working on established applications written in Java/C#/Python that have OO, imperative and now functional code all mixed together.

If I had it my way we'd choose one or the other but no one can agree which is the best way to write code.
Quite a few of these issues are common in other orgs. "You're doing it wrong" isn't great advice :/
After I switched over from Eclipse to Intellij I think at least the IDE tooling is pretty much equals nowadays. I used Resharper in VS so in many ways you are using the same thing.

As others have said the open source community for Java is still leaps ahead of C#. It's not often you find a library which doesn't have a Java connector/implementation. For C# on the other hand you tend to be much more limited in your options.

I guess this used to be a lot due to the platform dependence of C# (and probably still is). Hopefully .Net Core can help with that, but it's not ready for prime time yet IMO.
