If you try building a realtime single page app using Meteor and measure the amount of time it took you to complete it, you'll find that the hype is justified.
I read this book a few years back and while I found it quite interesting as a story, I did not glean any major insights from it.
It most likely has to do with my own ignorance about philosophy, but all I got from the book was that the author hates Aristotle and rigorous classification. And that quality is a more important property than morality.
Emacs with Evil mode is the best editor ever. For pure text editing capability Vim can't be beat, but it lacks some niceties like ability to run shells, an integrated package installer etc.
With Emacs and Evil, you can get the best of both worlds.
There are plenty of legitimate products out there to promote, but those Acai Berry/Weight loss rebill offers were really shady and one had to have absolutely no moral compass to promote those. Even newbies knew that they were flat-out scams(for the customer).
You would see marketers justifying these products by saying that the customers were suckers for not reading the TOS or that nothing was wrong with rebilling(citing Netflix,which is totally different; people knew it was a subscription unlike with these shady stuff) and stuff like that. It was amazing the lengths people went to fool themselves into thinking they weren't ripping people off.
If you can't beat them, join them! Of course your comment was meant sarcastically, but I wonder if authors(of genuine books not the spammy ones) might turn to posting fake reviews and justify it by saying that they have no other choice.
We can see this happening in the case of SEO with many white hat sites employing black/gray hat techniques simply to maintain their current positions in Google.
It's always a cat and mouse game however. Once they employ machine learning, I'm assuming the spammers will adapt and create reviews that fool the algorithm(though at an increased initial cost).
It could simply be a case of disillusionment at Tesla. Also Apple employees are known to leave Apple, either to start a company or for a sabbatical but then go back to working at Apple once they're done.
Perhaps they are good enough for the stage the company is in. Not all startups need highly-skilled developers when all they're doing is build CRUD apps.
The article's passive-aggressive tone is overbearing. Why can't they simply present the evidence, say they are very disappointed with the YC company for stealing their design and be done with it?
The main process or any parent process can be made to not block by spawning sub-processes that handle an entire group of child processes , so I don't see how that is a problem.
No actor-model based language has this problem, so perhaps all it comes down to is baking in the right(or even any decent) concurrency support from the start, at the language level.
Odesk and Elance. Only hire people who've worked on multiple projects and have high ratings. There are plenty of talented people out there.
> For the record the Yosemite issues are the most glaring ones.
I commiserate. Apple's arbitrary decisions on what APIs are deprecated in newer versions must be really frustrating for developers. One of many reasons I shy away from creating desktop applications.
