Random color from string in javascript

Consider a list of strings you need to permanently assign a random color.

First you should turn the string into a hash.

var string = "string"
var hash = 0

Who pays when startup employees keep their equity?

JD Maturen, 2016/07/05, San Francisco, CA

As has been much discussed, stock options as used today are not a practical or reliable way of compensating employees of fast growing startups. With an often high strike price, a large tax burden on execution due to AMT, and a 90 day execution window after leaving the company many share options are left unexecuted.

There have been a variety of proposed modifications to how equity is distributed to address these issues for individual employees. However, there hasn't been much discussion of how these modifications will change overall ownership dynamics of startups. In this post we'll dive into the situation as it stands today where there is very near 100% equity loss when employees leave companies pre-exit and then we'll look at what would happen if there were instead a 0% loss rate.

What we'll see is that employees gain nearly 3-fold, while both founders and investors – particularly early investors – get dilute

My largest Sidekiq application had a memory leak and I was able to find and fix it in just few hours spent on analyzing Ruby's heap. In this post I'll show my profiling setup.

As you might know Ruby 2.1 introduced a few great changes to ObjectSpace, so now it's much easier to find a line of code that is allocating too many objects. Here is great post explaining how it's working.

I was too lazy to set up some seeding and run it locally, so I checked that test suite passes when profiling is enabled and pushed debugging to production. Production environment also suited me better since my jobs data can't be fully random generated.

So, in order to profile your worker, add this to your Sidekiq configuration:

if ENV["PROFILE"]

Bars

PROTIP: Bars in Oregon have to serve food as long as they're serving alcohol. As a result, some of them have amazing food.

PROTIP: You can't buy alcohol (other than beer or wine) anywhere else but a state-controlled liquor store. Most of them are closed on Sundays and close around 7pm every other night of the week.

• The Night Light - This was our favorite bar just before we moved to Italy. Right in the heart of the quiet Clinton district (where we were living at the time).
• The Doug Fir Lounge - I hate to use the word swanky again but that's the only way I can describe it. The entire place is built to look like a log cabin. Used to go here all the time. Pretty good bar. The restaurant is open until 3am (or at least was when I lived there) and has some DAMN good gastro pub style food. The halibut fish and chips and burger are insane. Funny enough, I saw the GitHub guys here (including maddox and Tek I think?) after
