You can apply/learn more about the position at https://databricks.com/company/careers/open-positions/job?gh... or by directly sending me a mail (michel-at-databricks.com)

Because most of the time you can't monetize it enough to be able to escape your day job.

So at the end of the day, it's just beer money, and just creates more headaches (legal, taxes etc.)

Re:RethinkDB Relicensed under Apache 2.0 on Monday February 06, 2017 @11:35AM (#13581088)
Kudos to the team :) Thanks for giving RethinkDB a second chance to strive.
RethinkDB's query language is infinitely better (among many things).

Same here, the x1 carbon is linux friendly and has a great keyboard. I don't have a retina display, but I don't need that to write code.
Re:Dear open-source maintainers, a letter from GitLab on Monday January 18, 2016 @11:26AM (#10925244)
I've been using GitLab instead of GitHub recently for all my new projects and honestly there's nothing worse than GitHub and a few things are better - like having protected branches and master by default in it -, private respositories etc.

That being said, what both GitHub and GitLab are missing is actually becoming a "social network" or maybe more an active network. There are tons of interesting projects that pops up every day, that I would be interested in knowing about, contributing, but there's basically no way to learn about them.

Kudos to the GitLab team for all its work :)

Re:T-Mobile CEO to EFF: ‘Who the Fuck Are You?’ on Thursday January 07, 2016 @06:55PM (#10861806)
Their network improved a lot in the recent years. Their 4G network is currently the best one http://www.techlicious.com/blog/opensignal-state-of-lte-repo...

Another nice thing is free roaming in many countries abroad.

He thought he could pick on EFF like he does on other carriers. That was his worst move so far.
Re:Avast’s man in the middle on Sunday December 13, 2015 @09:08PM (#10729012)
Hum, this is disturbing. I would be curious to know how much malware is actually served over HTTPS and what good alternative to Avast is out there for Windows.
Hey CoreOS, quick question for my own curiosity. You have released/are releasing tons of cool stuff, I'm just wondering what you plans are to maintain them? How much to you expect the community to update them? Is your team growing as fast as you release software?

Thanks for all your great work!

Re:How companies use RethinkDB in production on Saturday October 10, 2015 @02:11PM (#10366356)
It was mostly a lack of docs. Most of the documentation assumes citusDB, and how to get things work without citusDB is left out.

I tried pg_shard a few months ago and after a few hours, I gave up. I somehow remember that partitioning MySQL was easier, and that's not a compliment.
For the same reason as why you shouldn't have a service that locates where sex offenders/ex inmates, this service shouldn't exist. So many things can go wrong with something like this...
I like how CoreOs folks take each painful thing to do, and come up with a simple to use solution. This should save people (and me) quite some time.
This is a really cool project. Have you tried to get funds from a university? I don't see why no universities would be interested in that.

Anyway, I hope things will get financially better for you.

Re:Sandstorm App Market on Wednesday August 26, 2015 @06:16PM (#10126357)
I had a hard time before to understand their catch phrase/what they were doing. Improving privacy and control is really what they provide, making the Open Source web apps viable is more for marketing purposes. That somehow doesn't resonate well with me (I had to go one of their meetup to get a better picture of what they are doing).

That being said, they really do something cool if you spend some time looking at it. They tackle security issues with a good approach IMO.

A slim cylindrical tube is also a box for a whisky bottle. It's just a cylindrical tube...

Took part in a coding competition on HackerRank, did well, applied for a job, did a few more interviews, flew to California :)

That was a joke... but I guess when it comes to front-end frameworks, we can't laugh.
