Keep in mind that downtime is what you're optimising for.

The big benefit of building a bootstrapped business is that you're not accountable to anybody. When you get to the point where you're making a nice profit and things slow down such that you don't need to put in 40 hour weeks anymore, that's an indicator that you need to go rock climbing.

Or surfing, travelling, playing with your children, salsa dancing, counter striking, novel writing, or whatever it was that you were planning to do once you hit it big and didn't have to work anymore.

Bootstrapped SaaS businesses have the nice side effect of giving you small tastes of that success before you actually hit the point where you can do it full time. My advice is to take advantage of it.

This is really true. Where I am from, we discuss a six-week period or so when the season changes, from shitty to other-shitty, in which we say either your blood or skin thickens to the cold, or your blood thins for the warmth. (somehow, the skin never thins) I have no idea if this has any scientific basis.

You sound like a first year economics student, everythings still so black&white to you, just stop with the cliche 'market will bare' stuff at least. This theory means less and less these days. Many are realizing it's quite the opposite. In situations where the market wont bare the rich and powerful's offerings, the rich and powerful just go out of their way to force you to bare it... An example, oh well JimmySuperstore's market won't bare price hike, so they'll just make that money up by offshoring and avoiding taxes thereby sticking it to the market anyways.. Another good example, my apartment raises rent 20% in 4 years (illegally) and when caught and fined, just decided to demolition the entrie building so they could gentrify all the people who couldn't 'bare' their prices, and rebuild so they wouldn't be legally required to pay grandfathered rates to past tenants. There is no more such thing as market correction anymore, only displacement. Just a simple look at inflation adjusted year-of-year wages since the 1980's will show you recessions and market corrections disportionately effect the poor, and there is no hope or chance of regression, it's too late now, only a world financial collapse can adjust inequality at this point.

Sorry for being so Keynesian, but it's the damn truth.

Worse. There have been startups working on the discovery problem. Better filtering, (social) recommendations, social network around app reviews. Apple banned those apps in 2013 but at the same time hasn't provided any alternative. One example:

"Applications that include filtering, bookmarking, searching or sharing recommendations are not considered significantly different from the App Store, therefore they cannot be approved by Apple." http://techcrunch.com/2013/12/11/appidemia-shutting-down-aft...
I don't have much disk space available so if the limit is exceeded I will delete files that have not been downloaded recently. Active files stay longer.
Legal problems I have not put much thought into, but anything reported or found by me will be deleted immediately. Client side encryption and decryption could come in the future.
I guess this merely means that it is proven that no such system calls are executed directly.

Of course, in theory there might be some kernel bug such that e.g. a read() sometimes changes files on disk, but I guess this is outside the scope of that proof system.
Only the blog program itself was proven, assuming that the remaining system software as well as hardware are working in a sane way.

If you want your proofs to include the whole operating system, you'd first have to reduce the kernel to a minimal operating system (e.g. MirageOS).
If have lots of time, money and motivation, you could continue to include the possibly used virtualization layer (XEN, QEMU/KVM, whatever) and finally the hardware design.

In research universities, research tends to occupy the focus of the tenure-track faculty, as well. Publications pave the way to tenure. Teaching evaluations may help one's tenure case slightly (if they're outstanding) or hurt a little bit (if they're really bad). Being in/chairing the right committees can help a little bit, as well. However, the lion's share of one's tenure case often comes down to research.
The App Store search is ( and has ) always been a farce. I don't think I've ever not not used Google to search for the relevant app and then jump to the Store to "Get" it.

I never see analysts charging Apple with sheer negligence in these things.

It's not for the lack of resources. They have warchests both here and offshore. Why they don't get behind these pesky problems beats me. I mean these are elementary things. Using your competitor to search for apps in your store has to be downright cringe-worthy.

The only explanation for this has to be that Apple is shoring up every last nickel for something much much larger. In the years to come we shall likely see Apple heading into complete virgin product territories.

Apps, phones and tablets must seem like a distraction - a sideshow if you will - to the people in the know at Apple. A distraction from the real mother lode of things they have been working on.

If proven true, this has to be the greatest execution of strategy secrecy and misleading of onlookers and industry watchers alike, every seen at a corporation.

Nothing else explains why such scant attention is paid to basic things like search, voice recognition (Siri which is again a laggard compared to Google Now / Cortana) or maps or any other facets of the Apple ecosytem.

Eh, I'd expect app discovery to be reasonably hard when you have a few hundred thousand developers and marketers incentivised to do anything they can to game the system.
This is a Haskell-specific problem. OCaml has an excellent debugger, not to speak of F#.
I won't suggest ignoring accelerators only because they give so little equity. At an early stage, it's wrong to think first about equity and then decide who you want to fund you.

However, I don't have enough info to say if you're at an early stage or not. If you aren't at an early stage, accelerators won't give you the bang-for-buck that they would for someone else.

You should first think about what you need (a certain amount of cash? industry connections? technical people? scaling expertise?) and then contact investors who seem to fit. If you're profitable and you have a take-over-the-world kind of idea, you could get money from pretty much anyone. The problem is that sometimes (not always) being post-revenue hurts your valuation, because it brings take-over-the-world conversations back down to earth. That may be changing these days for all I know, though.

Anyway, I'm sorry that none of that is very helpful. When, how, and from whom to get investment is more art/luck than science, and you'll get a different answer from pretty much everyone.

You should apply to YC if you think they can help. Couldn't hurt, right? TechStars seems to care less about founders being technical, so that's another route.

Edit: One more thing. Raising money takes a minimum of 6 months, and if it's not full-time work, it's pretty close. It may also involve travel. Make sure you budget time/money for the whole process.

This isn't medical advice: UK recommended limits are 3 to 4 units per day, with some days alcohol free and don't save the units up.

You're drinking towards the upper range of that, but still described as "reduced risk" drinking. "Increased risk" drinking is between 3 to 4 units per day (so around 28 units a week) and 50 units a week. Over that and you're at "high risk" drinking. http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Alcohol-misuse/Pages/Introducti...

You might want to make sure you have a couple of alcohol free days spread out in the week. You might want to make sure you're not regularly drinking more than that half liter of whiskey each week.

Interesting idea. Doesn't "urgent care" imply that a home visit wouldn't be suitable? If I was in urgent need then a hospital visit with access to all the equipment an emergency room has would be the best option right? Seems like this kind of wording would open you up to some kind of liability issues.

I personally had a project almost ready for beta when the news came out. I jumped ship to OrientDB. Titan was very buggy but we all awaited in hope for the 1.0 release. That's not going to be good now if it's not released from the original devs. Orient can handle 9 trillion records, Neo4j 34 billion. There is a benchmark with Orient outperforming 10x neo and can also handle docs like mongo. I regretted that I chose Titan.

If you look at what tenure track professors do, it's the same thing. They'll spend hours working on their lecture notes that they get paid for (admittedly, most TT professors work 80 hour weeks). Not paying instructors to prepare for class only guarantees that they'll under prepare.

Can anybody speak to the difference between Graphite+Grafana and the ELK stack? Are there any fundamental differences in analysis capabilities between these?

We are currently using ELK for doing some lightweight analysis of user behavior (we are using Elasticsearch anyway, so this was the easiest way to get up and running), but as far as I can tell there are some limits to the Elasticsearch/Kibana combination. For example, there seems to be no way to correlate separate events, e.g. how many users that performed action A then performed action B within some time window (or even as the next action). Is this possible with Graphite?
Couldn't that be automated with jailbroken devices?

Supply and demand is always political.

Prof Robinson has to 'accept' the university's offer because the alternative is starvation and homelessness.

The university believes - wrongly, as it happens - that people like Prof Robinson are easy to replace. So it sees no need to treat him any better.

If he tries to argue for a fair rate, he's arguing as someone from an inferior position of power and status with 'rational actors' who don't understand the consequences of their actions.

In this case the consequences are poor teaching, and - in the medium term - the replacement of an overly greedy university system with something that offers better value for students.

I'm sure the admins are patting themselves on the back for putting Prof Robinson in his place.

They won't be so happy when everyone - including the student body - has moved elsewhere.

>Are bright young people being indoctrinated with a sense of personal sacrifice for the cause of 'higher learning', not unlike a cult?

No, bright people are being indoctrinated in business and econ classes with the idea that you should make a fast buck however you can. Social transactions can only be valued financially. Nothing else matters.

Those are the real cult victims. As is Prof Robinson, who is one of many talented individual dealing with the consequences of that particular brand of kookiness.

This is not rhetoric. These toxic attitudes exist because they've been heavily promoted. They didn't just happen.
Recently I looked for a "TCLscript" targeting Javascript but I didn't find anything (under development at least).

The only strong players that I recognise in this market are Coffeescript, Typescript and Clojurescript. Probably there would be a market for "TCLscript" also.
Afraid not. A programmer re-invents the wheel to fully understand the inner workings. I've never heard of anybody (non-programmer) who spent months/years to program a software from scratch just because he can't afford buying it. This guy wasn't a mechanical engineer or something, too.
I agree with the sentiment in here that search in the app store sucks, but I don't think it matters much.

If I've heard or read about some specific app, I can find it by name pretty easily. For everything else, google and the web works just fine. Right, it's an extra click or two but I don't really think that qualifies as a "problem"..

OCaml and F# are also more conventional. Lazy evaluation is a pain during debugging; even using laziness in a language like C# can be troublesome when you hit the debugger. So if you are going to rely on a lot of it, might as well have a lot of static typing to avoid debugging it.
There's no such thing as "copyright infringing material", it depends on how has uploaded it. If I download an awesome ROM from megaupload using the link shared by its creator and upload it myself to megaupload to get my own link, the very same file is both infringing and not infringing copyright.

This is what people who were appalled that megaupload would only remove one of the links to a deduplicated file, instead of removing the file itself, failed (or refused) to understand.

For correlation between distinct events Graphite or any Time series database is not the right tool.

Time series are usually more about being able to collect huge amount of metrics. Metrics that can then be combined, averaged, filtered, put through a processing pipeline (analytical functions), summarized by different intervals. All in order to visualize (usually through graphs) recent live trends or long term trends and statistics.

Grafana is all about maximizing the power and ease of use of the underlying time series store so the user can focus om on building informative and nice looking dashboards. It is also about letting users define generic dashboards through variables that can be used in metric queries, this allows users to reuse the same dashboard for different servers, apps or experiments as long as the metric naming follows a consistent pattern.

Grafana also uses Elasticsearch but not for log analytics, but for annotating graphs with event/log information.

At some point in in the coming 1-3 years log analytics and metric analytics & visualization is going to converge and be solved/addressed by the same piece of software. But that is tricky right now without sacrificing either domain.
