There are 10X programmers. I'll give an example. If you take an average programmer and "the best of the best" and ask them to build a relatively complex iOS app, of which neither has previous iOS experience, the best programmers WILL finish the task up to 10x faster than the average. This is because the average programmer gets stuck on bugs, solving problems, complexity, and is slower at learning new things. The better programmer has a combination of skills that allows him/her to do the correct research and solve the problem at a much faster space. The rate of which grows as the complexity of the task increases. Thus reaching 10X.

unfortunately a ton more time will be "wasted" dealing with this ..

Anyone know how Discover responded to this? Are they still working with Amazon?

i'm assuming clients and web servers that start to support http2 will also be backwards compatible with http1.1 which seems necessary

No surprise here. The first thing a Harvard grad will tell you is that they graduated from Harvard.

mine some virtual currency

Just wondering, is there a reason why twitter doesn't use one of the many distributed in-memory database solutions? It seems like they had to write a lot of custom layering on top of it just to scale

thanks!

really helpful info. thanks!

Does anyone know if Couchbase can be used as a TB sized data warehouse? Seems a bit difficult since it seems all keys must be stored in memory.

not surprised. IBM hires a lot of incompetent software engineers

This is exactly my problem with HBS. Their cases are heavily geared towards financial and exit situations, where PE/bankers will excel at. This also reflects on the fact that a lot of their students come from those backgrounds. They don't really focus on actual technology problems as much, and it would be harder for an engineer to bring their experience to the table.

Reminds me of Comic Sans

It means I put in my credit card and the payment went through and I got a confirmation email of my order.

For those who are downvoting - I have a Namecheap Order Summary email so I technically bought the domain. Maybe in their system it wasn't acquired yet, but I still had the right to it at that time.

Yes. I owned the domain already. Maybe it happens if you bought it recently. But regardless, it still makes no sense.

Don't use Namecheap.

I bought a domain from them once. Later during that same day, I forgot my password so I typed it incorrectly like 3 times. This automatically puts my domain BACK IN THE OPEN MARKET. I was appalled. When I emailed their support, they said I had to verify my identification by sending them personal documents -- I believe it was two pieces of ID. Total BS.

I simply bought the same domain through Gandi and never looked back.

What could have happened: I could have bought a domain and someone else could have typed my password incorrectly, losing my domain. That person could then steal my domain by registering it else where. Crazy.

You can run multiple instances of the same Go program to reduce the effect of GC lag

I know several engineers at Facebook. None of them went to an ivy league school

Any examples of Elixir in production at a well-known company?

Surprised how nice the visualization looks, given how ugly the Bloomberg terminal is

According to LinkedIn the CTO left the company

A more accurate title should be "donated to Republicans". But I can see what they're trying to do

I'm curious as to how the FBI helped, because it doesn't really say in the article

Google it. It's all over the internet

Vibrating for it to wake you means you need to keep it close to your body. I wonder what health implications it may have -- In general its really bad to have a cell phone touching your body for prolonged periods of time because of the radiation it emits.

Seeing a complaint about Coinbase every week makes me feel like they are a poorly managed company -- which is crucial if you're a company dealing with a lot of money.

Tested it and it didn't seem to work. No button on the profile

nice, but simplicity is the key to mainstream

Because what you just said is also very generalized. You put people in two buckets: followers and leaders. Where's the in-between?
