There's an enormous tension between CVs that are short and to-the-point and CVs that pass some kind of idiotic "weight" test. The solution is:

a) To be brief and to the point (and honest), and
b) to put your stuff in reverse chronological order -- so the recent (and hopefully relevant) stuff is up top.

The rest of it is there in case there's a weight test, or for when the CV has been shortlisted and is being given a closer look.

Finally, you need to exercise judgment in how fine-grained you get with "projects". You don't want to give the impression you're padding or claiming credit for projects you had little hand in. (And consider tailoring your CV for the job. I do not always do this, but I always do it for jobs I really care about.)

Freedom of speech means the government (notably: federal government, though most states have similar rights) can't stop you from saying things or shut you down just because they don't like what you have to say.

Freedom of speech has nothing to do with private parties exacting revenge on you for saying, doing, or promoting objective wrongness.

Freedom of speech is not freedom of equality of validness of opinion.

Some feedback, mostly on the UX:

So I dismissed the instructions without reading them thoroughly. Everything was super confusing and it was unclear what up or down did, other than start playing different music.

It seems weird that up chooses a new artist and down chooses the next song. I heard a song I like, accidentally pressed down, and then up went, in an attempt to get back, but instead was sent to another artist. Super confusing.

The back button randomly changes artists. This is also super confusing. Couldn't you have a button for that?

When I click on one of the albums, the transition doesn't make it clear that it's now playing what you clicked on, and the previous list is now GONE. I assumed clicking would "select" the album. Also, once I've clicked an album, there's no way to get back.

And finally, my general feeling about the interface is that it's too focused on "power users", not being quick and easy to understand. I doubt this is something that needs really easy hotkeys, and if it does, it should be complimented with buttons that do the same things.

Don't let this feedback discourage you. I think you're solving a real problem, it's just hard to get past the UX. My advice would to to do some user testing. When you're building a super experimental UI, that isn't like anything else in existence, you probably want to verify that it doesn't completely confuse people.

tl;dr Do some user testing and you'll see most of these problems for yourself.
Very cool. I've created something similar in the past to monitor various pages but I did not get past the basic mock-up stage.

Hi! I haven't used these particular drivers, but the community go-lang driver (https://github.com/dancannon/gorethink) is reportedly excellent, and the new Java/JVM driver (https://github.com/npiv/rethink-java-driver) is supposed to be quite good.

We've been working really hard to keep the surface area of the product minimal so the dev team can stay nimble, which so far allowed us to ship features and stability improvements very quickly. We have a lot of really exciting updates planned for the next few releases, so we'd like to stick to the current model for now. After that, we'll start expanding the dev team and bringing some of the community drivers under the official RethinkDB umbrella. I don't have an ETA for this yet, but I expect this will happen within a year or so.

Even reducing the problem to one language you run into problems. All serious R developers have run into issues with CRAN (which is mostly centralized) causing problems with different version installs using install.package(). There are mechanisms for dealing with it, but the best solution is usually to maintain your own distribution of packages and a build script: further centralization. And R has a relatively good/simple package management system compared to something like pip, luarocks or Maven. Two which I never had problems with ... maybe because I didn't use them enough: leiningen and go get.
That's right. On the graphics side if you drop the resolution of the screen you can drop a lot of memory and CPU power. Trading off features like pre-rendering (display port) on the newer builds will save you more memory and CPU cycles at the cost of waiting a bit of content to come in while scrolling.

Really it means that any time you fall off the well optimized paths you're going to notice it more. It mean being more careful with how the app are designed and which feature they use.

Of course content that really pushes the throughput like canvas games will be slower. But in those cases the browser's rendering pipeline (layout, style, visibility, display list) isn't running so you minimize the overhead there.

I know this may sound hyperbolic, but I hope that others join me in finally getting around to installing the Lyft app today.

Before now I'd considered them too small to be worth bothering with, but hey, if Uber is worried then maybe I should give it a try. After this, and Uber's attempts at doing the same with GoTaxi a few months ago, I'll be very happy to take my business elsewhere.

I'd also be interested to know if the VCs that invested in Uber were aware of these tactics. It's especially sad to think of good startup investment money being used to defraud a competing company rather than invest in good customer service.
I just hope it doesn't disrupt "Archer".
On the contrary, this appears to be exactly what Ms Burns suggests:

In my book I talked about “trading trolls” – people who would surf the web specifically looking for noncompliant sites so that they can place an order, get the stuff, report the site for noncompliance, get their money back, and keep the stuff. After all, if the site is breaking the law, they have no recourse there.

"Have to leave his job"? He had a job as CTO for many years, and could've kept a Mozilla job. But he wanted the most powerful seat of authority.

With the entitlement of those who attack marginalized people's love lives, he wanted ultimate executive power. Knowing that if he failed, he can trivially drown himself in wealth.

No need to shed fake tears over elite white male perverts who care overmuch about other people's sexuality, and bribe the government to police it. He can live the high life on Alan Turing's back. Instead, there's many people with little money who work all day in places with zero free speech. Who have real fears of losing their jobs.

To me, this is enabled by social media. This uproar against Eich wouldn't have been viral if it weren't for Twitter, Reddit, and others.

The people who complained used tactics akin to bullying: "do what I want (fire Brendan Eich), or else I'll make much noise as I can, and drag your brand through the mud".

The backlash was driven by self-righteousness ("my beliefs are superior to Eich's") and contempt ("his beliefs hurt people, so he isn't entitled to them"). These feelings are timeless and have been common throughout history. The problem is that it's easy for them to quickly spread on Twitter, and then get blown even further out of proportion, either by being mentioned on 24/7 TV channels, or, here, because of OKCupid pulling a marketing move by supporting the backlash.

And overall, the effect is that some opinions and subjects are sadly becoming taboo, and people have to be politically correct or risk having their lives ruined. This happened to Eich, it happened with Donglegate [1], and it will happen again. The common theme in these stories is social media.

1. Have you ever been on a commercial airliner? There's not really much vibration. (Yes, there's vibration, but the amplitude is not more than like a millimeter.)

2. Mechanical image stabilization exists and is common. Not sure whether fisheye lenses have it, but:

3. Fisheye lenses GREATLY reduce parallax error. Do the math out.

4. The vibration would NEED to be rotational, not lateral, for all the same reasons discussed above (stars are too far for lateral motion to change their apparent position). However little lateral vibration there is in an airplane, I guarantee there's even less rotational vibration. Sound/vibration simply doesn't work that way.
Brendan Eich is a bad example.

Donating to a campaign that uses hateful, bigoted language and false information (Prop 8) is different from just sharing an opinion. I'll think less of a person who thinks I'm less of a person for being gay, but I'll still be civil toward them. That'll change real quick if they support a hateful campaign to take rights away from me.

There are so many better examples, like that mindless, misguided rage against Penny Arcade over a comic that was objectively not about condoning sexual assault.
Thanks for posting this; this is such a great interview.

With Genesis, because there was so much technical stuff that I had to do, especially drawing correct anatomy, I would often make a sketch first on a piece of scrap paper, try and get it right before I started penciling on the drawing paper. How’s this angle, his arm, and the guy’s holding a tool, how does that look? I used Muybridge’s Animal Locomotion, from the late 1800s. It includes hundreds of photos of naked people in action, really handy for any kind of cartoon work where you have to draw people realistically in different actions and poses. Like the scene where Jacob is wrestling with the angel; fortunately there were pages of photos in Muybridge’s book of men wrestling.

This made me immediately search google for 'Muybridge Animal Locomotion'. I had seen the galloping horse images before, but had no idea Muybridge published 700+ such studies in 1887. [0] UPenn has some of them archived digitally. [1]

Arghh, sorry. I haven't used Java in years, so all JVM-related languages/drivers are kind of mashed together in a single bucket in my mind. I really ought to play with scala/clojure to unmash them.
Its unfortunate but I am surprised here, aren't there any laws to punish this kind of systematic sabotage.

Would the VCs like Google Ventures and other VCs self-police and influence Uber from this tactics. Uber already has first entrant advantage, this is not childish, this is sinister. Some driver somewhere burned lot of gas and rubber only to be disappointed that there is no fare there.

I will not use Uber until they make mends, I know I am a small hummingbird but anything with in my means to discourage this practice.

I think the point is more kernel + libc + binaries is the maximally leanest. Putting any interpreter on top of that is always a huge overhead, be it Dalvik or Gecko / Spidermonkey.

And worst of all (or best?) is that it seems we are moving towards this thing where Mono and Qt are also on phones, meaning you have two parallel stacks - one interpreter and one big ass shared library or another interpreter - running at once.
This is a nonsensical post in this topic. Eich didn't post (or fail to post) on social media, he donated to a political campaign. In fact, social media outcry -- in other words, the opposite of what this article is discussing -- is what actually effected the change.

I understand that plenty of people don't think that Eich should have been ousted from his position as a result of his political beliefs, but your post is not just not on-topic, it is actually the opposite of the topic. It looks like you're using this post to grandstand.

I was in San Francisco for a few days in mid June.

Having never used a ride-sharing service before, I hesistantly installed Lyft and handed over my payment information.

After the first ride, I didn't look back. I used their services maybe 10 times in 3 days in order to get around the city. Waits were never very long (we got rides at many different times of day, morning, mid-day, late night) and all of the drivers I had were friendly.

My experiences were all pleasant and the fares were reasonable. I can't speak to the quality of the Uber experience, but it seems many of the Lyft drivers were not too keen on the company.
To disagree with many of the other comments here, I found the interface pretty great. My only issue was that I couldn't figure out how to get a seed artist in a genre I liked. Once I realized the Artist name at the top was also a search bar, I was flying.

One feature I wish it had, were a way to go back down to the previous set of artist choices. Other than that, I've been enjoying exploring music with this.

I don't see why Lyft being "a fellow startup" should affect any of Uber's business tactics.

Startups don't have any intrinsic motivation to play nice with each other.
> I'd give much to know what went so deeply wrong in our industry that we keep making such basic mistakes.

The vast bulk of the industry is much more practical than theoretical. They don't care about your theory about how languages ought to be built. They care about solving the problems that are actually hindering programmers who are trying to write programs.

"But", I hear you say, "null pointer exceptions are one of those problems!" True. "And algebraic types can fix that!" Also true. But here's the thing: (Almost) Nobody cares. Nobody thinks that algebraic types are a price worth paying to fix null pointers.

Do not automatically assume that you are right, and that everybody else is too stupid to see it. Instead, try to expand your mind far enough to see that they may have a better grasp of the trade-offs that confront them than you do. They think your solution doesn't work in their world. Bemoaning their stupidity is the lazy way out. Instead, try to find out why they think that.

I think the problem is not with the industry. The problem is with your expectations of the industry.
Sounds like it'll only ever be a dream. Assuming they can keep sabotaging their way towards market dominance, eventually they'll reach a point where they have to deal with humans directly - and with humans you get problems you can't solve technically.

They will either have to dedicate people to strictly or mostly food delivery, or offer an annoying service where your driver has to make a detour so he or she can pick up a hamburger for someone else.

No, at the moment. This is less important for conversations that are more 'cloistered', like those that might happen internally, in person at a conference, in a town hall, or in classrooms.

Price comparison SF:

Uber X: $3 base fare, $0.30 per minute, $1.50 per mile

Lyft: $2.25 base fare, $0.27 per minute, $1.35 per mile

Both have a $1 trust and safety fee, and Lyft has a lower minimum.

I’ve personally had better experiences with Lyft overall, and I’ve taken at least 100 rides with each service.
