Welcome, friends, to the first AdRoll tech blog of 2014! Last night AdRoll hosted Erlounge here in our Mission street offices; seventeen Erlangers showed up and three talks were given. Juan Puig of Linden Labs gave a lightening tutorial on the use of quickcheck in Erlang, the slides of which you can find here . Marc Sugiyama of Erlang Solutions–boy, they have nice business cards–spoke about debugging techniques in long-lived Erlang syste....

As detailed in The Curse of Preconceived Notions , before Monday night I had not read any of Joe Rosensteel’s work; instead, I had wrongly disregarded it in any capacity surpassing that of humorous entertainment. When I finally came to my senses and started reading his blog though, starting with The Ubiquitous Yak for the Discerning Obsessive , I found that I really enjoy his thoughts and opinions. So for anyone else that, like me, ma..

Shit happens. Way more often than what most people think. It may seem surprising that a seemingly successful product could fail, but it happens all the time. Although we arguably found product/market fit, we couldn’t quite crack the business side of things. via Chris Hates Writing • Today my startup failed .

HackerEarth hosted more than thousand contests in the year 2013 alone. Out of them, there were more than two dozen public programming contests by HackerEarth itself. They include our monthly challenges and hiring challenges. There were over 200 internal and public contests by colleges in the previous year. They include IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Ropar, NIT Warangal, IIIT Jabalpur, NIT Raipur, NIT Calicut, BITS Pilani and many others. And....

This post is intended to be a tutorial on how to access the RealityMining dataset using Python (because who likes Matlab?), and a rant on how annoying the process was to figure out. RealityMining is a dataset of smart-phone data logs from a group of about one hundred MIT students over the course of a year. The data includes communication and cell tower data, the latter being recorded every time a signal changes from one tower to the next.

I listened to every episode of The B&B Podcast back when Shawn Blanc and Ben Brooks recorded it once a week up until just shy of a year ago. It came as a great disappointment, then, when it ended rather abruptly. Thankfully, I did not have to go without for long: today, Shawn announced a new weekly show to be released alongside his members-only Shawn Today podcast. I already subscribed, and I recommend you do as well: if The Weekly Brief ..

Given my recent track record , you could probably predict what I will write about next just by following Linus Edwards on Twitter and reading his site. Yesterday, Linus posed a thought-provoking question asking for thoughts regarding paid memberships for independent writers, saying that he did not believe in them given their ineffectiveness. An interesting conversation ensued in which many weighed in both for and against. I did not, howe..

Until yesterday, every time someone mentioned Joe Steel or his blog , I immediately thought of Terrible Podcast Screenplays . I had equated Joe to this one Tumblr, and that humorous pursuit to Joe. In my mind, they were one and the same. As a result, whenever someone referred to his work, I absentmindedly categorized it as comedic and of little value beyond a source of entertainment, and disregarded it accordingly. Late last night though,..

Introduction We are working on a project where we have to make calls into a web service. Many of the web calls return very large documents that contain many sub-documents. The worst part is, we usually only need a handful of the fields for any given document and those fields tend to be scattered all over the place. Here is a sample of a smaller document:

Ever thought of sharing solution of a coding problem in form of a video with someone, to teach them how you implemented the solution. Or, wanted to see what’s the thought process of a potential employee when he/she solves a difficult problem. Ofcourse you have thought about it. But, it was not exactly possible to watch it as seamlessly as a movie until now. Today, we are announcing the release of HackerEarth’s CodePlayer that exactly does....

In crisis situations, whether natural (e.g. earthquakes, floods, tsunamis) or political (e.g. violent conflict, forced movement of populations), children are especially at risk. Children who become separated from their families are the most vulnerable. Family Tracing and Reunification (FTR) is the vital process of returning lost children to the safety and protection of their families. Despite advances in information technology the current ..

When Sid O’Neill posted Farewell to Text Files , I read his article but really had nothing to say on the topic. One person left the world of plain text files — “so what?”, as Dan and Merlin love saying. But Joe Steele’s response, cited above, made me reconsider Sid’s predicament: the low barrier to entry plain text afforded him made testing new writing apps too easy to resist, and so Sid spent more time experimenting than working. At som..

Sans the rather generic name, I really like Workflow. As an unnamed individual demos the app, he shows off impressive system integration by dragging Editorial-like pre-defined actions taking advantage of the camera, music, and AirDrop APIs into a queue and running it. Alternately, Workflow can also transform these processes into their own standalone apps. Wow. Impressive, to say the least. Even with such a basic feature set as the one on ex..

I needed a base image “ box ” for my Puppet-Gluster+Vagrant work. It would have been great if good boxes already existed, and even better if it were easy to build my own. As it turns out, I wasn’t able to satisfy either of these conditions, so I’ve had to build one myself! I’ve published all of my code , so that you can use these techniques and tools too!

Last week Ben Thompson posted two fantastic articles describing the inevitable shift in business models 2014 will likely bring about and the actual implications of Nest’s acquisition by Google , respectively. Then, Friday afternoon, Horace Dediu chimed in with his own fascinating two cents when he published Google’s three Ps . As interesting as I find their examinations of Apple, I enjoyed these in-depth looks at Google immensely. ..

I only found his blog recently, but given the nature of his last post it came as no surprise that I li..

As you may know Apple will require that all applications submitted next month would be compiled with XCode 5 and target iOS 7 primarily. We supported this for quite some time however the default was still set to the legacy support first. Today we are deploying an update which will make xcode 5.0 the default and make the theme use iOS 7 theme styling when running on an iOS 7 device.

Techies love hackathons. What could be better than getting together for an evening, or a weekend, with food, friends, maybe a beer, and using one’s magic powers to create a piece of technology that saves the world? I exaggerate. Most people don’t think they’ll save the world in a weekend, but sometimes they act as if they believe they can. As software professionals, when was the last time we went to our bosses and said “No problem. I’ll bui..

You might consider this article a thinly-veiled stopgap to inevitably breaking my streak of publishing at least one new post every day. While one could certainly make that case, for I did pick this topic while searching for something to write about today, its origin does not change the relevancy of this subject. Permalink.

Rusko sa v riešení problematiky sirôt nesmie spoliehať na cudzincov Premiér Dmitrij Medvedev uviedol, že aktívna rozprava okolo obmedzenia zahraničných adopcií má za následok seriózne zlepšenie vnútroštátnych predpisov týkajúcich sa adopcií a zmena už prináša výsledky. V prvých deviatich mesiacoch tohto roka sa počet detí, ktoré našli nové rodiny vnútri krajiny zvýšil o 5000, v porovnaní s celým rokom 2012, povedal premiér v piatok v živ..
