London, UK. Full time. Priory Solutions - http://priorysolutions.com

Two roles: Senior C# Developer and Junior Javascript/C# developer.

We're a small software firm - still a startup mentality but established enough to be making money and we’re growing steadily. We make innovative software to change the way companies work with online subscriptions. It’s a complex technology environment with lots of fun challenges around scalability, user interface, requirements complexity, and more. We get great feedback from our customers allowing us to build things they actually want and really see the change that our products create. We’re the best in our field and we’re looking for enthusiastic developers to join our team, grow your career and help us deliver more value to our clients. We’re based in Shoreditch, with a casual and flexible work environment where you get great tools and support to do the best work you can.

You’ll be an enthusiastic developer who loves learning new things and keen to put your skills to work to deliver real value and build software that lots of people use. You’re pragmatic and probably somewhat pedantic like all good developers.

If you’re interested send us your CV and a short email to jobs@priorysolutions.com and we’ll be in touch.

Yes, I stopped buying Apple products because they used so many Samsung parts.
At the moment we are operating in the UK only but we are looking to expand to the rest of Europe by early next year.
I wonder if that's to do with the advertising network / provider placing the ads using geolocation, rather than language requests. I'm an Australian expat living in London - when I visit Australian news sites now they deliver me UK advertisements.

Thankfully, no language issues in my instance.
You are right that The Joy of Clojure is for developers with some prior experience in Clojure and it explains the "why" of the language even further.
If they had a colour-changing patch to show other people when they were and weren't recording, that would be enough for me. I realise they have to be capturing video to be of much use, but a way of indicating that it's not hitting a permanent storage medium would be really handy.

An interesting take on where Apple's behaviour has taken a previous user of a lot of their products.

However, I can't help feeling he'll be writing a similar article about Google in a year or two. Personally I feel depending on one manufacturer/service provider for everything is a little short sighted.

The interesting questions will come up regarding people who claim to have much more power, like TSA agents.
The attached PDF article is worth a read.

TL;DR... (Of the PDF not that article)

---------------------

> Ensure that your statistic results are trustworthy. Incorrect results may cause bad ideas to be deployed of good ideas may be incorrectly ruled out.

> You also need to make sure taht your findings align with your businesses long term strategy so that you don't make the mistake of sacrificing long term growth for short term financial gain. ie. One time Bing had a bug, which served poor search results, so distinct queries went up 10% and click throughs on advertisements went up 30%. It would be a mistake to say this test was successful.

> Just because you see an upwards trend in a newly launched feature does not mean that your users like the feature more. (Delayed effect/primacy effect)

> Don't run an experiment longer than you originally intended. It does not provide you with extra statistical power. (Pick a duration and stick to it). Also do not stop your test early. (There is an algorithm to tell you when you have statistical confidence enough to be able to stop your test, so that the benefit can be gained accross the entire network but I can't remember what it's called. It's commonly used in Drug/Pharmaceuticals when test groups clearly have a fantastic response to drugs, and it would be cruel to restrict the drug to the placebo/control group.

> Got interesting/suprising results? Re-run your experiment again. Often there are underlying reasons which should be investigated.

--------------------

> Don't make changes to your application if your average customers lifetime value will decline. ie Longterm v Shortterm.

> Quickly identify the Carryover Effect... Google/Amazon/Yahoo etc rely on something called the "bucket system" where users are split and an experiment from a bucket is selected for them. But a problem with this is the carryover effect where the same users impacted on one experiment receives the second experiment too (the effect can last weeks). Known as A/A testing. The exerpiment was reran with a larger test group and with local randomization.

--------------------

I just enjoyed reading it. I can't say that this will be useful for even 1% of readers here. (I certainly can't apply any of the methods described, but the underlying principles are useful to know).

If academia is only 5 years behind then it doesn't seem a good deal for the public to give 20 years monopoly on ideas, particularly so if those ideas build on top of each other and lead to patent gridlock. (Of course in reality, academia is part of this patent gridlock, but the general point remains)
Most people should at least know how to drive a car.

Why? Sure, it lets you do some things that almost nothing else does, but you can usually work around them, and it imposes a great cost of both time and money. Why should one spend them?

And likewise, learning how to run a web server on the public Internet (as opposed to a toy server on your LAN) requires a huge amount of time and knowledge, in terms of learning how to use the software, secure it, keep it spam-free, keeping up with the updates and security vulnerabilities, configuring DNS, etc. And at the end of the day, it can still be taken down by the hosting/VPS provider or ISP, just like your Wordpress.com blog.

So, is it really worth it? I doubt it.
"focus on the one that happens to be showing the app drawer"

(1) Hard not to focus on the one being shoved at the camera.

(2) Display models held by display models don't just "happen" to be configured a certain way. Samsung has frequently marketed their stuff with the app drawer although lawsuits have mitigated that lately.*

Given the lack of differentiation with Samsung products compared to other Android vendors your suggestion that this is all a big coincidence is laughable.

Magic mantra in hindi
Magic the occult kind, is one of the oldest and most wide-ranging of these system. Magic is the study and submission of psychic forces. It uses psychological training, meditation, and a system of secret language to curriculum the mind. The rationale of magic is to alter the self and the atmosphere according to the will.Using magic to compellingly control an additional person’s will is, in a sense, black magic. There are also some populace on the occult trimming who claim to be, probably even think they are, ‘Satanists’, devil worshipers, or black magicians. These people are most to be expected charlatans, hoaxers, dabblers, or merely misinform. They may be paying attention by the ‘art’ of black magic, or even by the ‘glamour’ of doing impressive against the ‘rules’. But a real black performer is very hazardous. Because he has enthusiastic his life to evil.
The really scary thought is this:

All governments function on the basis of active citizen cooperation. If citizens don't cooperate, no government can stand.

Maybe what we call Stockholm Syndrome is just a more pronounced pattern that makes possible all of the social control structures that we take for granted all around us every day.
Windows 8 - dal mio punto di vista
Thanks!

That would not have been a "real" prepared statement in my mindset so I get why I was confused.

I don't feel super smart, but wouldn't I simply make sure that $column is a valid column (ok, that one might need extra attention) and $direction would be either ASC or DESC and that $offset and $count are integers?
Find the self-deprecating humor quite amusing, but even better is the actual description:

"Because Javelin's design focuses heavily on solving scalability challenges, it isn't appropriate for everyone. The design implies tradeoffs, and the cost of some of these tradeoffs is increased complexity, reduced ease of development, or less flexibility"

This is really refreshingly honest, especially compared to some of the newer nosql sites we've seen lately.

Edit:

- "We designed for x, y & z to fulfill these requirements: .."
- "These are tradeoffs though, so if your needs a different,
this may not be the best approach"

I don't think it's a symptom of hype in the Valley. (The high rents in general, sure. But not the hacker hostels.) As others mentioned, the whole point of being in the Valley in the first place is to be around other people doing similar things, because it's more fun that way.

But if you just step off a plane at SFO and walk around, you're not guaranteed to find people doing startups, especially if you don't know which coffee shops they frequent. Speaking from experience, staying at somewhere like Chez JJ means an instant connection to a community of smart and similarly-inclined people. It really is great for folks new to the Valley ("on the bottom rung"), and I think the article got at least that point correct.
I think they're half right, the turnaround time for a decision is too long, but the solution is surely to turn away the obvious patents on day 1 to get them out of the queue and discourage further frivolous applications.

The cynic in me says that this is bureaucracy 101, where the bigger the problem, the more staff you need to solve it, the more staff you need to manage, the more important you become.. ergo the answer is to exacerbate the problem rather than solving it.

I've also heard that they don't get paid for appeals, so rejecting a patent is more work than accepting it, which could also be shaping the landscape.

Either way something is seriously messed up in the US patent office and it's effecting the world in a bad way.
I like Amazon's "you bought a SatNav, perhaps you'd be interested in these other 8 SatNavs"...

Possibly the answer is that the algorithms aren't close to good enough. That "might be interested in" isn't good enough.
You can say "Don't use this purchase for recommendations" and "Not interested / already own it" on Amazon. It's clearly not well-exposed, given the number of people making your complaint.
Ha, fantastic! But if this was a Jeopardy questions, then I would have a tough time guessing which of the bigger client-side MV* frameworks this was targeted at.
For the longest time I avidly clicked answering Hulu's "Is this relevant to you?" question that came with ads.

After a few months, I began to suspect they were not using the results. They never learned I didn't want a new car, for starters. Not the kind of purchase a commercial is going to change my mind about. (And I can't even recall the brand.)

I'd actually like a decent as network just fine.
The Coursera ML class is nowhere near the Stanford-level class in terms of academic rigor.

That being said, several of my peers who didn't go to the school really appreciated it for its accessibility.

I think the expectation of that class is to render ML education accessible and palatable, not to train everyone at an elite level. As this field grows, I'm sure the needs of various parties would be filled to an extent.

They are a copycat but one with brilliant industrial design capabilities (not just a nice product but efficient to assemble), a ruthless competitive streak, most complete supply chain of any CE company (screens, semi conductors and god knows what else). They buy their way into retail with high dealer margins and slightly different models for each retailer/carrier so that the dealers/carriers push them until they are dominant.

They also form part of the supply chain for most of their competitors so they can gain an information advantage.

In the TV market I think where they really took the lead in product development was with the ability to redesign the panel packaging to use it as structure for the TV and then to design for thinner a thinner bezels.

It's a shame when people's feelings get hurt, for sure.

But have you looked at the text in question?

It's no work of art. I don't know whether the live version is before or after, but in all honesty it could use quite a bit of trimming, as well a whole lot of editing in other ways. The current copy makes the typical noob mistake of trying to cram every bullet point in the pitch deck onto the front page. This is not someone with ten years of experience who actually knows how each word will help the business, it's a kid trying to figure it out by spending five hours thinking about it.

If an intern sent me a "fuck you" message for refactoring a bunch of not quite working spaghetti code, I'd show them the door. That's a lot closer to the situation here...

If this was an experienced copywriter with a decade of real world experience putting out content that was close to perfect, your story would seem a lot more reasonable, but it doesn't seem to be the case here.

One of the conscious aims of the undergraduate coursera classes has been to lower the bar (in terms of assumed prerequisites, pace, and scope) in order to increase participation.

Daphne Koller's Probabilistic Graphical Models was their first graduate class and it was definitely tougher than other Coursera offerings have been.

This explanation is missing a little bit of background. A classical computer's state is represented by a single number - the concatenation of all of the classical bits in its memory. The transition function in a classical computer takes a state and moves it into another state - a simple mapping.

A quantum computer's state is a 2D vector of unit length. Transitions are actually rotations on this vector. Observing the quantum state collapses it into a classical state - a single number - by projecting it onto a random nearby axis. If your vector is halfway between two axes, the computer has an equal chance of collapsing into either classical state when observed. As it turns out, this also means that acting on this vector is equivalent to acting on both of those classical states simultaneously. If you have the right kind of problem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BQP, for example), this lets you do a lot of computation in a hurry.
You'd want to 'lulz' and be rude to avoid the hipsters.
You may wish to have a little community with a better noise signal ratio, and you may use your README to scare the «serious» programmers that rely more about BS told on a website than on reading the code.

Still, I am not the targeted audience for their framework. I do not like their syntax.
If the modification this guy made actually made the copy WORSE, then the reaction is completely understandable.

I think the problem is on how do you know what is actually best?

This is a problem for developers as well. "you refactored my code into some unreadable crap" - "I made it more clear and DRY"

Lots of code (and copy) are highly subjective, like when to use a design pattern or when/if to break the Single responsibility principle etc.

It's easier if you have a tight team that have worked together for a long time and get a long fine. However, it's also good with different views in order to actually get the best solution in place.

How do you handle these kind of problems in a good constructive way?

I've had the same thing of late. I host my websites through WP Engine, and I'm tremendously enthusiastic about them - but nonetheless, Google Adwords keep trying to tell me I'd be better off hosting through this scrappy, enthusiastic startup called WP Engine instead...

(For bonus points - the retargeting often means that Adwords is advertising WP Engine to someone who already uses WP Engine, with the ads displayed on the site that they are in fact hosting on WP Engine.)
See also "geekhouse" in Japan... A little less tidy though.
If the problem at hand isn't easily solved with a multi-process approach then this would probably be the time I'd start taking a hard look at another language.

Scala, Go, Clojure etc make this so much easier that I think a language jump is reasonable.
If you're going to be running Tor, you don't even really need that first hop - you just need to control the software on your computer.

You have a point there (which I never thought about), but that point has passed if you live in any modern city. It was one (of many) reasons I live in nature; I don't really mind people taking pictures/videos with me accidentally in it, but it's too much to know that i'm getting recorded somehow 24/7 with every step outside my house. I saw the number of camera's in Amsterdam grow rapidly; both government and consumer. I don't give that much about privacy but this is just a bit over the top.

Then again, I never thought about it, because the goal of Glass is exactly the very LAST thing I would use Glass for. I don't take pictures as it is and doing it from my POV doesn't seem interesting at all. What I want is being able to walk (and sit without getting my mobile office out) and do some (!) work. Like for instance when I have team meetings via Skype and I need to see occasional demos and slides, there is NO reason at all why I cannot do that on the move. If I can walk through the mountains and occasionally look up/right or wherever to see a slide or screen, it would allow me to do a LARGE % of my daily work in nature while walking. And I see a lot more things which can be done now with Glass without needing complex and weird human interaction.

And when you need to do something real, you just sit down, flip open a tiny computer (openpandora is my poison) which you connect to the glasses (for instance, via VNC which is the most obvious option) and presto you have a full screen without opening some big laptop or disturbing the peace with (power) cables etc, nor do you appear to stare into a laptop in public; you never have to actually look at the pandora to do your work.
> Imagine an advanced alien civilization many light years from Earth, where awesome and exciting technologies are everywhere. Many of them take the form of personal devices.

Maybe your aliens evolved in a different environment, maybe their species was not shaped by millennia of sexual selection. But ours was, so until we change our very natures, "looking cool" and all other kinds of signalling will trump quite a lot of real benefits.
This seems like some kind of bizarre/opposite logic to me. You think you'd get a better signal-to-noise ratio from the lulz crowd, and that non-'lulzy' programmers are more into (marketing?) BS than reading code? I am fascinated by this point of view.

"He's not as good as you are, but his copy will be serviceable" - highly dubious about this. Copywriting is a skill, separate from fluency in English, and not everyone - indeed, very few people - have it.

I've seen plenty of "sales" documents written by people who could write English, but couldn't write copy. If you're considering "might actually convince someone to buy this product" as your end goal, it's very, very easy to end up with something that isn't servicable at all.
