That's right. Effectively we measure everything and have multi-factor performance metrics with our partners. So it's a bit more objective than Uber which is entirely based on user feedback. If we detect that a node in the system i

We definitely aren't. I posted this to our Slack and one of our new sales guys created an account and posted. When I saw it I asked him to take it down.

The article misconstrues multiple food movements from by taking three words, natural, fresh, and local, and not understanding the context around them. The article therefore boils down into a straw man argument. The slow food movement partic

An average work day isn't filled with 100% development. You have breaks for lunch, coffee, people asking you questions, meetings, ping pong, etc. For a good workplace a chunk of your time is a social experience like any other. That mea

I shop organic, typically at farmer's markets, and actively cook. I lived in Toledo for a little while and visited Detroit. While you have access to supermarkets in that part of the country the access is very poor. I ate a lot of fast

It's helpful to have predictable names. Imagine you have to @ someone or add them on a code review by name or send them a chat by name. @fruitloops123 is a lot harder to remember than @mark[Teamname] or @marklastname. When you are larg

GitHub's tools always fell short for me. Phabricator is a much better code review tool (with a commandline workflows). Trello / JIRA are a lot faster and more flexible for issue management or sprint workflows.

If you are using Java with a package/build manager like maven you can always automatically pull all the source jars and then any IDE (Intellij/Eclipse) will allow you to jump through all third party libraries. Are you targeting th

I disagree with this article. A "Growth Hacker" is an engineer that applies himself in the field of marketing. This means coming up with interesting and innovative ways of lowering the cost of user acquisition. The distinction is important

Spoken like someone who knows nothing about Java. There are a bunch of apps written in Java web start(ie yEd), which involves just clicking on a link. Off the top of my head, some very popular Java apps are Eclipse/Intellij or Azureus.

The first thing that anyone who doesn't know Java complains about is running a main method, which no one in the Java world does 99% of the time. This is probably the first thing you have to do in a Hello World Java tutorial, but has nothing

Certain Indian food is eaten with rice and some with bread. If you are using the wrong one that is the only reason you would get strange looks. If you use fork and knife then you would actually get strange looks.

I believe in eating food based on how it was designed to be eaten. For most asian food chopsticks or hands are appropriate, the food is designed for it. For Indian food, using your hands is essential. Europeans make you work harder so you n
