Yes, I had it happen that people are great on paper and in the interview and did not work out. In each case it was a sales hire.
The people in question were excellent sales reps. They knew how to sell themselves as well. However, one of the reasons I hired them for (a big and super relevant rolodex of C-Level contacts in our industry) turned out to be the main reason they totally failed.
These guys valued their contacts overall. They would never hard sell any of their contact if they had even the slightest doubt that the product would work 100% as expected.
Well, we all know how startup products get build and how they often fail before they excel. So these top notch sales guys would keep on setting up all these great meetings with big names but never close. First they tell you that closing a deal with a blue chip company takes forever (true, they often do take forever). So they could ride along for quite some time without getting caught. Then when pushed, they would make up fair excuses, why their contact would not buy our stuff.
This happened to me in my early days as a GM and it took me about a year and a half to see through this.

Now I never hire a sales person based on his rolodex anymore. I find out if the sales person is truly passionate about the product.

Also, on that note, stay away from the sales guy who tells you that he will sell anything to anyone. My best sales hires in the past years have always been people who think that they are not sales people at all :)
I thought you were speaking about different strategies, but in this case you're describing three different stages of an overall landing strategy. That doesn't sound complex.
I discovered this while struggling with C++ for an Arduino project. I'm really digging Ceu as an alternative that runs directly (and efficiently!) on the Arduino.
I'm honestly not sure -and I'm still using an original nook, so don't even have first hand anecdotal evidence.

I believe the issue is the frequency of light -computer screens tend to be on the bluer/whiter end of the spectrum -in fact if you look at apps like f-lux they try and help by changing your screen to be much more red; I'd also say that a monitor/tv is putting out substantially more light than your kindle. I'm also now wondering about the difference between looking directly at a lightsource (or reading from a backlit source) compared to indirect lighting; but once again I have neither the knowledge or references.

edit: (as I can't edit my original comment) I've just realised that I never mentioned suffering with extreme acid reflux so being hungry/empty stomach isn't really an option for me -and certainly stops me sleeping, which might well have a bearing on my anecdotal observations in the OP.

Someone figuring out how many customers a bakery needs to survive and then guessing the number of people who live in New York and deducting the number of bakeries from that. Not bad :)
I guess I don't understand the argument's construction then.

Lying could almost, literally be defined as: 'the ability to stroke the political and emotional biases of people through distortion and disinformation in self-serving echo chambers'.

The OP is claiming that eliminating lying actually increases the occurrence of distortion and disinformation (through an undisclosed mechanism).

To me, this would seem to be contradiction: eliminating the bad thing actually increase the occurrence of the bad thing.
I've just started messing with elixir. It's a functional language that runs on the Erlang VM but it's syntax is ruby-ish.

I'm a newbie but I've been impressed by the tooling so far. And once you change how you think about everything the learning curve isn't too bad. =)

It has a rails-y framework that I haven't heard much about (and nothing particularly bad):

I think beginner books are easier to get to that 50%. The subject I'm teaching really isn't that hard, it just needs to be explained differently.

Hi Free Kill,

Ian here, co-founder, thanks for that feedback. We’ll be refining those sections :) Effects can range from person to person, especially depending on how much cannabis you consume. We also stay away from making promises on that end as well, as it does not effect everyone the same. As a general rule of thumb (we should make this more-clear) sativa has more of a “mind” high and indica has more of a “body high”. Depending on what the plants are crossed, variations fall somewhere in-between those two experiences depending on the person.
> Lack of 'separation of data/presentation' is what made unix ubiquitous.

I think standardization and easy scripting made Unix ubiquitous. Making a regex to search for start time in ps output did not.

> It's also what made HTML ubiquitous.

Most HTML on the internet uses CSS for presentation.

> I think it's great that powershell is getting full, native ssh support -- because then I can manage windows computers in a non-ridiculous way

So it's non ridiculous, but you'd still be using Powershell, which you just said is garbage. I'm not following.

You seem /really/ pissed off. I'm not sure why.

We did it to ourselves.

People just go to flight aggregator sites, sort by price, glance at time, and hit book. Then get "surprise" fees at the gate. If these sites showed baggage fees right on the page (like eBay now shows shipping), or they included seat pitch and seat width, you might see different consumer behaviour but as it stands you have one metric to judge a flight: price.

This actually hurts airlines trying to differentiate themselves, as those differences are only known by visiting their first party website and consuming their marketing. If you only view them through the lens of a generic flight aggregator, then you'll never know why their flight is 1.5x as expensive.

Virgin Atlantic is a pretty nice airline. In particular their business class is fantastic ("Upper Class"), even compared to some airline's first class, and I even find their economy class less unpleasant than most US-based airlines. I think European airlines are an interesting mix of "cheap as chips" (e.g. Easyjet, Ryanair) and old-style comforts (e.g. BA).

> They had no realistic chance of catching either Apple or Google as an OS provider -- both Apple and Google had more mature products, better consumer brands and the platform lock-in from their app stores.

With the possible exception of platform lock-in, all of that applies to everything Microsoft became a leader in too. Why would there be no realistic chance?
That FP subtracts from everything else can be switched around pretty easily. If you, as a client, can prove that you do not mutate the data structure that I hand back to you, then I don't have to worry about you corrupting my alias of it, and I don't have to worry about giving you a deep-copy instead of a direct reference.

Pure functional programming subtracts something from your expressive power, but it also subtracts from the assumptions you have to make about code. Less expressive power is a bad thing, but fewer assumptions are a good thing. The inequality of assumption versus conclusion is right there in the functional arrow.

I'm not sure I can easily work the vegetarian analogy into that. Vegetarians notoriously frustrate catering, while I think people who agree never to mutate data are probably easier for programmers to cater for.

> Among other things, IE7 will pin IPs for 30 minutes

What, regardless of TTL? That's gross.
When the author first stated that the socket was readable but they were getting no bytes, I actually thought this might have to do with BEAST. If I recall correctly, at least some implementations of SSL work around BEAST by sending an empty packet prior to the real packet (the empty packet randomizes the IV, which breaks BEAST). And depending on how read is implemented, it might see the empty packet and always return zero bytes (instead of continuing onto the next packet which hopefully was received already). Incidentally, other implementations don't do the empty packet thing, instead they send a packet with just the first byte of the message, followed by a packet with the rest.

Of course, in the end it turned out that the author was querying if the OS buffer had bytes in it, as opposed to querying if there was any application data available. But anyone else doing something similar may want to be aware of this.

No features? Destructuring, arrow functions, module system, default values, spread operator, decorators, template strings, on and on. It provides almost all of CoffeeScript's features. What advantage do you see CoffeeScript having?
"works like us" is certainly much more reasonable (and safer legally) than "looks like us" or "plays like us". It's companies that hire based on the looks like/plays like that give "cultural fit" a bad name (ageism, discrimination, sexism, etc.).

When talking about software, I'd refer to a company's development culture. What does the team value in engineers? What are attitudes towards things like testing, shipping code, etc.?
Just because some IDEs push the boundary when it comes to dynamic languages doesn't mean it still isn't a downside. By that I mean, on other languages it's not even a problem you have to solve. The solutions to 'go to definition' or 'rename all references' are trivial in languages like the C-variants.
It's even worse when all that time sleeping is spent failing to solve the programming problem...
I used to live in Lafayette and definitely agree- the only reason we lived in Lafayette vs. Boulder was the housing was much more affordable. The town is pretty quiet but we would always drive up to Boulder if we wanted to hang out or do something fun. Denver wasn't too far away either, so we would go there for concerts or conventions or whatever.

I moved out to Oregon and live in the Salem area for a similar reason- the housing is much more affordable here than in Portland. I'm about an hour from Portland and an hour from the coast, so we split our time up between the two.

FBI chief tells Senate committee we’re doomed without crypto backdoors
"lively" Boulder is a bland white town full of people who are almost exactly the same. They are awesome, granted, but there's little to no diversity here. The college kids are mostly wealthy out of staters whose parents can afford to pay 200000+ for an ok state school. Most come here to play hippie, snowboard, and party.

Boulder is hippies with breast implants. Beautiful, wealthy, educated people who want to isolate themselves off from the rest of society. People here are very bland. There is next to no nightlife. Bleck, what a disappointment.

Jeff (PipelineDB Co-Founder, here) - Yes, PipelineDB is great for this use case. One powerful aspect of PipelineDB is that it is a fully functional relational database (a superset of PostgreSQL 9.4) in addition to a streaming-SQL engine we have integrated the notion of 'state' into stream processing, for use cases exactly like this.

You can do anything with PipelineDB that you can do with PostgreSQL 9.4, but with the addition of continuous SQL queries, sliding windows, probabilistic data structures, uniques counting, and stream-table JOINs (what you're looking for here, I believe.)

Each light is 19 pounds and is about 10"x8".

There are two reasons the light is the size that it is. First temperature. We have a passive heat sink with fins and a plastic remote phosphor sheet. Both have to stay relatively cool and more surface area makes this possible.

Its funny, the first fixture we built and sampled to growers was about 25x smaller. We used an active heat sink and a glass phosphor sheet. A common complaint was "why is this so small?" I want my lights to be "big and strong". We took this feedback and decided to move to passive design.

Our original logic was that smaller is better, especially in a greenhouse. The most efficient light is one that is off and the less shading of sunlight the better.

Almost everything boils down to time.

What I've found difficult to work with is people that think that anything they do has "magical" properties. I.E., they don't actually understand at least one abstraction level. That also boils down to time(and willingness, and a proper mentor). But it is a different order of magnitude, depending on what is missing.

Learning new programming languages is easy (except Haskell, attempt no landing there) and is also a matter of time. Learning the ecosystem that goes with it takes longer (again, time). Learning how to code idiomatically requires experience (time once more, but only if actively programming).

Basically JavaScript is a tool that I can leverage in more places then CS and CS offers me very little advantage over ES6.
While the author is pretty clear that "only a passing knowledge of modern microbiology" is necessary, I think that understates some of the technical language in here. I really laughed at the line, "Silencing a gene with CRISPR/Cas is incredibly simple." Still, I learned a lot. This is the closest I've come to feeling like I know what's going on in CRISPR.

CRISPR has got to be one of the most important scientific achievements of the past few decades, right?

Not really, though population density is correlated with high land values, so there are obvious similarities.
Ryan Florence – Don't Rewrite, React at React-Europe 2015
The major difference is upfront cost vs. cost of ownership. If you purchase the "cheap" multi-color products you will end up consuming MUCH more energy. The difference is much more than the upfront cost of the lights.

There are some well designed multi-color "pink" lights out there and there cost is similar to ours. A 325watt multi-color design has similar light output to our 230 watt remote phosphor design.

Flattening organizations
Yeah, the numbers are funny. They claim they will pay for themselves in energy savings in a year, but that seems to be against some unnamed alternative in their "up to 70% more efficient" claim.

High pressure sodium lamps (apparently the norm for indoor commercial food growing) look to be about 1.8µmoles/watt, compared against the ">2 µmoles/watt" of these lights, well, its going to take a long time to save $1000 in energy on a 250 watt lamp.

Lamp lifetime may tip the scales in favor of these LED lamps. Lamp size may also help, I used a 600 watt high pressure sodium lamp in my calculation against the 250 watt LED.

(µmoles are new units to me. I think I got through the lumens-lux-µmoles calculation correctly, but maybe not.)

Really nice piece. I basically moved from SF to Boulder (with stops abroad in between). What you're talking about in the blog is playing out right now with the "make growth pay it's own way".

http://openboulder.org/ob-opposes-two-growth-related-ballot-...

They are smart people spearheading these anti-growth measures. They want (like you said) the Boulder from 30 years ago. They are motivated, smart, and have the time to attack growth.

And cutting back on construction is only going to turn this place into more of bland sanitized white suburb college town. There's little to no culture or character or funkiness here and cutting off growth will only serve to stamp it out more.

People here like to say silly things like "entrepreneur capital of america" or "startup hub" or silly things like that. Shoot, coming from SF, this place doesn't have even a drop in the bucket of what the bay has. I'm not saying that's bad or good but thinking it's a real tech hub is a joke.
