What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

Theory of Building Caffe on OS X

Introduction

Our goal is to run python -c "import caffe" without crashing. For anyone who doesn't spend most of their time with build systems, getting to this point can be extremely difficult on OS X. Instead of providing a list of steps to follow, I'll try to explain why each step happens.

This page has OS X specific install instructions.

Stream tweaks proposal

The stream is a powerful tool, not just for IO, -- but, in the best Unix tradition -- for composition of modules. I've been connecting streams into quite long chains.

Some streams I have written do not alter the data in the stream, but affect it is some way, such as buffering when the stream is paused. pause-stream

Also, I've been writing high level abstractions that communicate via streams, and do some interesting high level stuff, Such as by replicating data, snob and crdt, or multiplexing mux-demux. Another good example is dnode.

These abstractions expose a stream on their interface, and so can be used over any io channel which supports pipe.

Note 1: The following CQ curl commands assumes a admin:admin username and password.
Note 2: For Windows/Powershell users: use two "" when doing a -F cURL command.
        Example: -F"":operation=delete""
Note 3: Quotes around name of package (or name of zip file, or jar) should be included.

Uninstall a bundle (use http://localhost:4505/system/console/bundles to access the Apache Felix web console)

A list of features that we want to see in CouchDB. Needs to be voted on so that it can become a priority queue.

User Facing Features
====================

1. Conflicts are the rule, not the exception

All previous versions of CouchDB hide conflicts by default (selecting
an arbitrary but consistent winning revision). Expert users can find
and resolve conflicts.

Creating a clean gh-pages branch

This is the sequence of steps to follow to create a root gh-pages branch. It is based on a question at [SO]

cd /path/to/repo-name
git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/gh-pages
