There is a bunch of people on the community slack who are using Fuse to make things. Generally, any question you may have will be answered in there. The dev team sit in there too, so it's first hand help
@bent or whoever from fuse team ; THIS is a great thing. Having a active slack channel with people that work on and with the tool is was a great deal for me learning other stuff. I will join you guys here :D
I tried out Stitch Fix expecting to return everything, wiling to eat the $20 fee. I have to say I am surprised with how well they have done, I have ended up keeping a fair amount of the stuff. Most impressive is how they can find pants that fit me.
Of course I've been wondering the entire time how their data operation works behind the scenes, so this post is really enlightening, cool graphics too... and only some minor scroll jacking.
ChefSteps is dedicated to putting the kitchen back in the heart of the home. We do that by getting people cooking, and we need your help.
Data Scientist:
You will be part of a small team that works across the entire organization to help coworkers use data effectively. You’ll use data to help us make decisions about what kind of content we should make, whom we should market to, what our next product should be, and what features we need to add to our current products. Note: This role may be combined with the Data Engineer position depending on experience and level of interest.
Data Engineer:
You will work with the data science and software engineering teams to empower your coworkers by giving them reliable access to data. You’ll help us make key decisions about infrastructure and capacity planning, and you’ll be responsible for ensuring that we can store data at scale with testable integrity. This role may also include other backend and operational responsibilities, depending on experience and level of interest
WebRTC seems like a really cool opportunity to rethink certain kinds of services. Video is an obvious candidate, I've also seen a bittorrent client that uses WebRTC. What are other interesting peer to peer applications that WebRTC could enable?
Just wanted to hop in here as a Simple employee—we are not shutting down! We're very much alive and well: as another commenter said, we're currently in the process of migrating our customers to our new partner bank, BBVA. (Definitely speaking in an unofficial capacity, but thought I'd clear the air as best I could.)
I also saw that triangle shaped plot and had the same thought. I read a great paper about this recently [0] with some of the same examples as the link in the parent, but going a little further in depth.
I originally got on this topic when reading Bayesian Methods for Hackers [1]. I am still hunting for a good method to correct/compensate for this when I am doing these types of comparisons in my own work.
When I was writing my thesis I wanted to correct for that as well, and weighted my data by the log of the sample size. This made intuitive sense to me, and both my advisors seemed to agree, though neither of us found compelling papers for this.
I was using Baobab in production at my last job and really enjoyed it, part of the reason it went so well was Christian Alfoni's blog posts and contributions to the project.
Boring has its place, and certainly can add a lot of value to a project. If everyones goals are aligned in creating a rock solid web site or app that never needs refactoring and has 100% legacy browser support, then boring is great.
Some of us are attracted to new technologies, and appreciate learning the lessons of what advantages or disadvantages come from building the same type of site or app with a different framework or technology stack. Especially those of us who aren't yet mature enough to write our own apps without the guidance of frameworks, and have not had a chance to work with all of the different possible approaches.
I think a healthy balance can be struck between the type of stability gained from the 'boring' approach, and the types of gains that can be realized from newer 'non-boring' technologies. Sometimes supporting IE6 is not a concern at all, and learning new language features from ES6 is an attractive proposition.
If doing front-end development were boring, I don't think I'd be as interested in doing it.
has anybody actually used Fuse for a real product? we could not find anyone to talk with about it and that was a deal breaker
