Concourse is pretty sweet. I enjoy it more than my experiences with Jenkins.

FD: I work at Pivotal (but not on Concourse), the makers of concourse.

Actually, Azure is fully supported! Microsoft wrote the CPI adapter themselves.

FD: I work on Cloud Foundry

That's one of the problems we're trying to solve with Ufora.

Because it's so much more difficult to write "high performance parallel simulations", we want to make it so you can write whatever code you want, and let the platform figure out how to make it fast, parallel, and distributed.

Glad to hear you like it! We think it's pretty cool ourselves :-)

PM @ Ufora here. Happy to answer any questions you might have!

I find it concerning when project developers don't seem to know exactly WHY the product exists or how it compares to competition on the market.

If I'm spending a lot of time working on a product that has a clear competitor(s), I'd expect to know exactly why my product is going to be better than those competitors (ie. in which ways), and what their weaknesses are.

100% true on all counts.

So actually Hawaii has an incredibly high cost of living.

Turns out there are lots of people who are attracted to the allure, and a limited amount of space.

The metrics are often broken. Think about how you measure it...

Ideally, you want to pay the ad platform for sending you a user who will buy your product. So you say something like: "I'll pay you X for every user you send me who buys something".

Great, right?

Except now the ad can simply optimize for users who were GOING to buy your product anyway. So now you've spent money getting users who would have been there anyway.

What you really want is to pay for users "Who buy my product, but would NOT have bought it without the presence of the ad". And that's a much harder thing to measure.

And that attitude is why they have much more money than you.

Indeed this was running on RHEL, though our client is a RHEL customer, and so far we aren't.

Another great option. I'll try to get in touch with them today!

I can't figure out how they're "weird"... am I missing something?

EDIT: Yes, yes I am. Power8 architecture. Probably not best for attempting to reproduce client bugs :-)

That may be a winner! $150/week for a server that MIGHT get us a repro is a good place to start.

Good idea! I'll check on that!

crossing machine boundaries doesn't seem to trigger the issue. We're specifically stuck looking for machines with lots of cores on a single box.

Why Betterment over Future Advisor? I really like the latter, but haven't really looked into Betterment all that much.

(he tried to originally, but(

@KevinMcAlear - can you share any details on the algo? :-)

commented the first time this made FP, not sure what happened. I still think this is a cool use of the HN API.

You've ruined the innocence of that phone forever.

This looks awesome. I can't wait for an API to plug into :-)

Another example of regulation being used to protect older, more established businesses from newer entrants that would supplant them.

Sigh.

Well and it doesn't help that in the Win7-Win8 timeframe, Microsoft was pushing 1366x768 as THE resolution that machines should be using.

Walk through any best buy and that res will far and away be most common.

I for one welcome our new high-DPI overlords.

I think the real question is who is more likely to ship an actual product.

which is again, a very american-centric way of looking at things.

My particular favorite is "unicornfarts.com". :-)

I'd love to see if anyone could hack Windows RT into one of these. Could make quite the little desktop machine.

I've got some bad news for you...
