Scala is also a good option. The g8 template for Android apps is at: https://github.com/jberkel/android-app.g8

My earlier comment might seem off-putting, so here is the text of the article linked in it, to provide a context for the discussion. Robb Seaton has written an excellent, must read…

Well-thought and a fine read. Re: sleep and moods, though a plausible idea, suffers from a tight binding problem. This is very costly in terms of time invested for reaping the "aha…

SolScript looks fantastic. Considering Avionics domain, using Coq or ATS to prove the correctness of SolScript compiler will help boost confidence.

This is really cool. At an abstract level, this reminds of how GCC uses a similar idea to build a tuned compiler executable, when using profile feedback: http://gcc.gnu.org/install…

If you meant database engine, then you should contribute to open source database projects like PostgreSQL or MariaDB. This assumes that you're comfortable with populating and maint…

This is just amazing! It feels like suddenly creating a new market. It has the potential to change the way customer service is addressed in the field: for washing machines, data lo…

Good list. To complement this article, I highly recommend "Demoing Software for Fun & Profit" by Dave Winer. There are pretty good tips in it. http://scripting.com/davenet/1995/01/…

Happy to learn that the post resonated with you. I appreciate it. Once a VP at a customer told me that a diamond is just a piece of coal that shines under pressure. The quest to be…

Your words widened the smile on my face. I agree with you about the risk/reward numbers. Should you be comfortable, I'll be very glad to keep in touch with you. My e-mail is on the…

Thank you and everyone for the words of encouragement. I've posted it on Medium: https://medium.com/p/23a07cb0d5ea

Thanks for the kind words.

You're the most welcome, :) I'm curious about any differences in conulsting approach to data science compared to software products: estimation strategies, what works etc.

Kind of agree with you and OP, so let me add to the discussion with the caveat that YMMV etc. Some of these points may overlap with comments by fellow HNers in these threads. In an…

Sounds pretty cool! Since you're pretty much at design stage, two ideas are worth exploring: 1. Uniqueness typing (re: linear typing for mutable data) is a neat addition. The paper…

Clever! With fish 2.0, the shell stores a list of "cd" commands issued from a specific directory, so mostly just typing "cd" yields an auto-completion hint out of the box.

Assuming that you've found an interesting business problem to solve: 1. Write a list of desired features. Next, prioritize those features. 2. Write brief functional specifications …

Circa 2008, an employee in a 10K+ people outsourcing company, was on bench ("not assigned to any projects") for two years. He leveraged that time for studies and subsequently got a…

This advise (sentence) is worth its weight in pure gold. Kudos!

One should never work for any management that values hours spent rather than value created. But then, it also translates to work visibly.

A preventive measure by the C-level management will yield results: a person working overtime, must take a documented approval from the PM. The incentive bonus for the PM must be ne…
