I've used C* (36 nodes/20Tb) and it was pleasure to manage it even in the early versions. At the time of picking the db (3 years ago) Riak was slower as they only had http available so C* won by a large margin.

One case I thought Riak can be a good choice for is for quick prototyping / interacting directly from web clients (as it has neat http API).

I do.

My technical focus: Backend technologies / Multithreading / Java Also I'm very much into sales / marketing lately.

I'd point to a few examples of pull requests which were merged into OSS projects already and explained what authors generally went through.

asana.com + GTD methodology

here's productivity forum on setups people use (it's in Russian so you'll have to pipe it through google translate but instrument names are in english + screenshots kinda self-explanatory) http://forum.mnogosdelal.ru/viewforum.php?f=7&sid=28fdcb21c9...

I visualize graphs sometimes or draw them on paper for particularly tricky pieces of code.

I was subvocalizing things to remember to do before learning to use task tracking software for that.

You might want to benchmark yourself e.g. with http://www.readingsoft.com/ (I ranked 398 wpm and I know my bottleneck is eye movements)

Also I think code reading speed is only a part of a larger process (e.g. code review or making a fix). For both of these external tools are available making reading speed not as important (iterative development / unit tests for fixing + static code analysis tools for reviews)

Here's a good article on Traction (which promotes the book with the same title and the book is Amazing!) https://medium.com/swlh/the-19-channels-you-can-use-to-get-t...

Also it depends on which kind of project is that, are you targeting specific people? Can you tell a bit more about it?

I'm always curious what was the budget for such things :)

http://blog.close.io/follow-up TLDR: Dude followed up with an investor 48 times and got the funding. You can do the same ;)

Checkout crunchbase.com - whenever somebody gets an investment there and you like what they do that may be an opportunity to help them with their growth.

Just talking to people on your networks raises the chances of spotting a place / an idea how to find a one.

What's your location? Just any IT-related event from meetup.com has hiring in their minds (and everybody complains it's hard to hire people!)

Also what about 'jobs' tab here: https://news.ycombinator.com/jobs

TLDR: check out vipassana meditation - it's free and I use it to stay calm.

I'm also from a country without great access to health care(Ukraine) :)

My experience is about remembering the moment in my life where I was lying on the floor, then saying in rattling voice "I've decided to live" and getting on my feet. Not sure what was the reason to live before that :)

Now it's probably more about things to look forward to. Mine thing is hanging out with children(they're so energetic!). If you're on hacker news, you probably know some programming, if so maybe volunteering as a teacher for an orphanage can be an inspiring thing to do?

I don't see a problem in seeing exes(if that's not a funky american idiom for having sex which). I see a problem in people exploiting fears of other people to get what they want.

I like it. Clean and concise. Don't have to read through ten pages of bloat.

The thing crashes itself :)

Isn't usual Java(not sure about C# model) sandbox enough?

A topic having loads of information answering your question: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7068672 https://github.com/datasciencemasters/go/

Flip a coin and see if you feel you agree with the result internally.

Also I'd like to remind you that there are other fancy choices other than the two - think what you would like to have in your life first.

Looks like that's true for jobs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7061752 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7060928 https://news.ycombinator.com/jobs

How about trying chasing some data scientists jobs and fixing your knowledge/experience gaps as you go?

I wonder what effect on your life you'd like to observe as a result of the thing being implemented?
