Looking at a few comments, can someone answer on whats are the nuances between managing data workflows vs service workflows ?

Hey @stevoski can you recommend one of the very basic issues to look at for someone to ramp up on the codebase ? Thanks

My wife has been hobby painting for the last few years! Like others have said the foremost thing that will help you improve is to enjoy the painting experience. We have so much art lying around our apartment that soon we will run out of space.

During her early days she would paint 1,2 paintings over the weekend, and with time the sophistication grew and she started exploring newer techniques, and at this stage some of her paintings take a week or 2 to complete. Some of her colleagues and friends have shown keen interest in buying her artwork so that tells you she`s getting good at it.

There are a lot of other artists on IG who share their work and techniques some even goto the length of making videos explaining the techniques.

Side note: looking for tips on best ways to take a picture of the artwork and get prints? Anyone have experience doing this.

A good episode from Planet Money(https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2018/06/15/620298266/epis...) which goes into the different options and whats the most viable option. Answer: you couldnt have guessed it.

Congrats on the launch!

A nitpick, you could say we charge 100 Rupees per employee for firms with less than XX employees and for other small, large business contact us for enterprise pricing.

Good Luck :)

What categories did the price cut reflect in. I shop at wholefoods every week and I have not noticed a drop in the prices of fruits, vegetables, milk and neither in the bake/meals section.

loved your quote.

> Intelligence = Speed of the car | Smart = Good at driving it | Wisdom = Where to drive.

How does this compare to apple`s ARKit?

I use Uber pass fairly regular on my commute to work. One other minor unrelated thing I have seen is if the commute is within < 1-2 miles the drive ends up giving you a bad rating (not that ratings matter to me) but uber has no way to screen this fake rating. I made sure I was at the pick up point well before the car arrived, and minded my own business throughout the ride.

On talking to couple of drivers on a few occasions they confessed that they do this to filter out folks asking for lower mile rides!!

edit: This is obviously not in high uber/lyft density zone like a downtown SF where one can assume most of the rides endup being in the 2 mile radius.

I heard on the radio today that in Feb there were 2000 instances of the phone search which is appalling.

hmm I don`t think so I fathom the complete complexity of the process but with so many powerful GPU`s out there, is there a possibility of reconstruction in a matter of days if not hours?

> It takes less than a day and costs less than $1000 to sequence your exome (and even your whole genome), but the backlog for analysis of the sequencing results in labs can be 9 months or more.

Layman qs. what is stopping the labs to quickly analyze the genome? Computational power or few labs doing this kind of work?

From the article..

> Nonetheless, Finagle still solved a huge problem for us as we now have real data dependencies and a more efficient execution engine. We gradually converted the Blender workflow code from batch style to Future style in 2013. It ran faster, the code became less error-prone but the readability was still not perfect. It was hard to follow, a pain to debug, tricky to test, and there were lots of duplicate function names.

from the git repo for Node...

> However, this library was written in Scala and isn't exactly Java friendly. It naturally involves a lot of callbacks and repeated function signatures. When it comes to waiting on multiple Futures, the code gets ugly very fast. Nodes is a Java library that aims to solve these problems, making the asynchronous code easier to read, to maintain and to test in Java.

what are they suggesting ? use Finagle for Scala and Nodes for java based projects?

"Democratizing AI" is the word being thrown around a lot by CEOs, PR, et al. But only time will tell whether it's true democracy.

Not taking away any credit from GradeScope folks but being new to AI, I fail to understand how is the underlying system labelled AI. Seems like they have created a rule based rubric for grading & human input can add/delete these rules..?

Great news for all the non-US budding entrepreneurs. Founders have to satisfy either of 3 criteria stated -

1. $345K from private investors.

2. $100k from govt or Federal entities.

3. partially satisfying the above criteria(up for a toss with uscis).

Some nascent YC potential companies might still loose out but nevertheless theres some glimmer of hope. Hope the rule gets published.

Two things that need to be highlighted:

I came looking for a video that would talk about building the future and I am surprised Sam & Mark spent lot of time talking about FB origins and other things related to FB and talk future only for the last few minutes.

Its almost palpable the cold nature of the interview, they don`t shake hands nor greet each other as someone else noted the conversation seems very detached to say the least.

A few things that helped me get a job out of school. 1. Start working on a portfolio.ex: if you are a frontend dev work on creating some sample websites. 2. Algorithms & data structures play a major role for most of the s/w engg positions. The khan academy, coursera ate good places to start. 3. Something to build on 1. would be to see if any open source projects interest you n start contributing. Good luck...don't give up.

is there a possibility of adding a live stream?

If you re-invest the returns are you still taxed on them?

Sometimes(read: most of the times) the tech debt and other code issues arise from the last min requirements although as dev. we try make sure the code is robust enough to absorb these changes seldom this happens.

What I have seen is effective for me is to sit down with pen and paper and describe the problem at hand and then think about the solution write up.

Amazed that the article compares Haskell with Go and Rust but failed to draw comparisons with Scala (with some learning curve but not as great as the ones in question).

No love for India so far!!! if you can tolerate the spicy food here are two places I wud recommend -

1) Kerela (called gods own country) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala

2) Arunachal Pradesh - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arunachal_Pradesh

https://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~jrs/61b/ this course by Prof. Jonathan Shewchuk is by far the best I have come across. Even the course is in Java, I really like the way he lays out all the basic data structure family.

The youtube videos are the icing on the cake as you can get thru them faster than compared to reading a book, if you are starting off I would highly recommend these youtube tutorials.

When did desalination become cheaper? Saudi Arabia can be afford it because of the petro money but how about United States and reading the env. impacts not sure which way to look for water.

Makes sense but do people use it for conventional web. If there is such a great deal of efficiency why isn't there a great deal of adoption? Edit: Added some more text

Why is this only for Android? Is that because of JIT compiler or is it an issue even on JVM and hence can we use flatbuffers even on web?

I haven`t read the book but it would be interesting if we can see some stories about founders who have failed or the mistakes that these founders committed that proved very costly. Would love to see some major examples of what/how things went wrong - did some feature/stand from the founders or board result in a backlash from the community (ex: recent press on reddit) or a product that couldn't stand by itself for too long etc.

Hi Mat and Kat, thanks for this wonderful initiative. Two qs.

1) This line: "We’ll encourage but not require that Fellows later apply to Y Combinator." Will this lead to YC fellowship being a pre-req to get into YC in the future years?

2) Will this garner similar scrutiny of getting into YC? if not can you share a few major differences in the selection criteria?

I have recently jumped onto working for a very huge codebase at work. In general here are a few tricks that helped me. 1) Look at the unit tests and see the flow of the code 2) Try to make a mental picture of how the code is organized(doing it on paper is more helpful) 3) Every codebase has few core classes that do lot of heavy lifting, talk to other contributors and ask them to point you to these.2) also helps you achieve this. Good luck.
