I don't know the domain you describe, but you have e.g. JuliaDB which has quite good performance from what I read.

https://juliadb.org

JuliaDB is about storing and retrieving Julia data end to end, although it works with e.g. CSV files etc as far as I know.

The benefit of using Julia over something like Java or C++ is that user defined function can easily be added and they are JIT compiled for maximum performance.

The main consideration with respect to using Julia is about whether your domain has problems with JIT compilation or not. Anything that is started and shut down frequently and only runs for a short time will not work well with a JIT based system like Julia.

Also places where you need fine control over latency such as computer games or real time systems may not be suitable for Julia. Then I suspect Rust or Swift would be better.

Other than that Julia is good for almost anything. I has great support for parallelism, concurrency and crunch numbers really fast.

While C++ and Rust may beat Julia in performance I think you should be able to outperform Java, because Julia is designed much more with performance in mind than Java. E.g. you have better control over memory layout, cache misses etc in Julia than in Java.
> You shouldn't be able to see exact activity with details, no reason for that. Another point is, how stupid is somebody when they put their personal activities in their work calendar.

But is there a compelling reason not to have it? Can you think of any circumstances where having access to someone's event details would make scheduling and communication with them easier? I agree with your second point, of course, and while I have never worked at google I'm pretty confident nobody would bat an eye if you just blocked the equivalent time slot with "personal".

But this person didn't do that, and they were open about some of their personal information on their calendar. Probably because they didn't expect one of their coworkers to be a stalker. I guess that was naivety on their part, but this is victim blaming.
At first i thought this was promo clickbait. Upon browsing through several tools it looks promising. I’m not giving you my email though. Thanks
I have to assume that the "invasiveness" of paparazzi is greatly overstated - a game that some tabloid stars and celebrities are willingly signing up for, in exchange for free publicity of sorts. Because if that weren't the case, you'd see people being sued for harassment, invasion of privacy etc. all over the place, and that just doesn't seem to happen.
The bare minimum for a hello world is 6 KB (before gzip). But of course as soon as you start using Scala collections, it's getting bigger. The minimum for a realistic application is 90 KB (before gzip).

That's less than your typical JavaScript framework, so for any realistic application it shouldn't be a concern.
Vegan is not a solely moral label. It’s a label like Kosher or any of the others. It signifies compliance with getting a product without any animal products. BK could and I’d argue should just make a note that even removing the cheese doesn’t make it a vegan sandwich. If they specify which ingredients or cooking processes invalidate it then they’ll still get the otherwise vegans who are willing to eat off shared equipment.

> Between Exhibitor and Curator, I honestly find Zookeeper so straightforward and easy to work with that I don't quite understand the popularity of etcd.

Tools like etcd and consul fit into the Unix philosophy of small, composable tools. Zookeeper is more a part of the Enterprise Java philosophy which many people have written off for various reasons, both rational and irrational.

Having run Zookeeper in the past and now having run Consul in production for the past ~6 months, I can't imagine ever running Zookeeper again, unless I'm using a tool that's built on top of it. Consul is just easier to use/maintain and we've yet to run into any problem with it. Zero problems in six months. In all the time I ran Zookeeper, I could never say that.
> Your example is a glitch, of law,

No it's not.

In the past, it was lumped in with the right of cops to have sex with suspect, thus it was intentional to allow cops to catch sex workers.

Calling it a glitch only shows how little people care about that particular problem and in fact reinforces my argument.

Interesting article.

One place where one needs to build resilience is in how we work and how we learn new things. The key thing is developing skillsets that enable us to go through life. Some key tools are:

1. Understanding how humans work: On why the early stages of work tend to be stressful.

2. Pushing through pain points: On the power of mental reframing.

3. Seeking motivation from within: Especially on large projects where you’re just a cog in the wheel.

I'm confident the CEO of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory felt the same way about their "women" asking to not be locked inside in case of fire. [1]

I think you are giving service providers way too much leeway.

The problem is that Uber is getting work from the driver in order to meet Uber's obligations but without compensating the driver. The extra work required to e.g. clean the interior of the car after a service dog has been transported should be paid by Uber to the driver.

I also got this email. I suspected it due to the Gawker incident, although I wasn't sure. I wish they had been a little bit more specific.

I also got the email from hint.io, but it was marked as spam by GMail.

I was really glad when I found out about the incident that I used a throwaway password that wasn't the same as my GMail. I've been keeping track of more of my passwords with KeepassX, although I still use the same somewhat secure password on sites where it doesn't matter.

As a side note: I'm trying to brute force/crack my hash to test how secure my password is. I'm using John the Ripper with the command line:

john -session:testing -incremental test.txt

So far, I'm 17 hours in at about 600000 c/s and it still hasn't been cracked, so I feel somewhat secure about it, although I realize DES is considered insecure.
The trick is that there are many sources of stem cells, some controversial, some most definitely not.

For instance: baby teeth[1]; amniotic fluid[2]; embryos[3]; fetuses[4]; and others. There are even "pluripotent"[5] cells which have similar attributes, which have even been created from skin cells.

"Stem Cell Research must be allowed": of course. Blanket bans are ignorant of the sources, and are effectively idiotic in the extreme. But which do you allow? And do you allow researchers to pay people for them? (note that this could mean abortions become profitable, if amniotic fluid / similar cells are allowed) And how do you get them? They're also still effectively human genetic experimentation - some people will never approve of that.

Tomatoes are not normally pollinated by honeybees. They have self-fertile flowers, so generally they pollinate themselves when shaken by the wind. Native bumblebees are sometimes used in greenhouses, and other insects (smaller than honeybees) sometimes play a role.

I don't know about San Francisco, but there are quite a few urban hives in the East Bay. While there are CCD problems in the area with some beekeepers, there still are many bees in the area. I buy commercial honey from Bee Healthy, who keep hives around Oakland.

“I believe most members of the public want to do the right thing,” said Sonja Rasmussen, professor of pediatrics and epidemiology at the University of Florida and a former executive at the CDC, in an email. “It’s essential that people know the implications of their actions.

Nope. Just wrong. you only have to look at peoples' behaviour in parts of the UK at the weekend to realise that even if some people know the implications of their actions they don't care. The UK has largely degenerated into an "entitled" society, and any veneer of sensibility and fairness has been stripped away with a vengeance. Unfortunately for us, the Prime Minister's advisers seem to think like Prof. Rasmussen and now we're in a dire situation.

> That quote comes from before the EAW was issued.

And by the original prosecutor no less!

> Section 142 mostly just contains...

It states extremely clearly that Sweden could accomplish the goals of its warrant by questioning Assange in London, and that the prosecutor is choosing not to do so out of convenience (a preference even the British court conceded was somewhat unreasonable). And since you missed the point, I cited it because it directly contradicts your claims that the extradition is being made in order for Sweden to charge Assange.

Indeed, as you would know had you bothered to look at other extradition cases, the legal reality is that Sweden can charge Assange anytime it wants. As stated above, the problem with doing this is that it would require the prosecution to have actual evidence of wrongdoing and eliminate their ability to hold Assange in indefinite detention.

> This is simply false and I'm kind of surprised that you'd make this claim.

Again, you are factually wrong. What the court "evaluated" was the allegation in the warrant, with the description and context of the charge taken at face value from the request of the Swedish prosecutor. There was no or only an extremely limited ability for Assange to face his accusers, challenge the evidence, or request supporting evidence from the Swedish prosecution. And yet you somehow managed to conclude that (1) there is evidence supporting any of these claims, and (2) Assange would be convicted of rape on the strength of that evidence. Bullocks.

> I'm not sure why you keep going off on this tangent

I'll take this as evidence you can't find a single commensurate case of extradition, although that was already a foregone conclusion. So let me close by saying that you should be ashamed of having defended such an irregular abuse of the legal system, and doubly-so for now arguing with a straight face that anything legal is by definition moral. As Nietzshe would have commented, the problem with this approach is that it makes a mockery of law itself.

Computer engineers have a tendency to read while not using adequate lightning, and to stare at screens for quite too much. That being said, it's not so much a matter of computer engineers using glasses because they are geeks, it's more because a "Computer Worker" can easily get headaches or fuck up his vision even more because he's staring at a computer for 10+ hours with less than perfect vision. A chef, psychiatrist, teller, or security guard won't need the glasses as much as we do.

So yeah computer engineer are more prone to wearing glasses than the general population. That doesn't mean that more hackers need glasses than regular people, but it could easily mean that hackers feel the effects of imperfect vision more than regular people, and because of it, are more prone to use glasses to correct said vision impairments.

1. You should get into a situation where you are not the smartest one in the room.

2. Good, you've done that one. Now you should learn everything you can from the others

3. Oh but this have a catch. You want to avoid elitist people, bitter people, shitty people, negative people, etc... Those you don't want them to be in the same room as it will not bring you up but rather... bring you down.

4. Consider being with less talented people who will bring you up.

5. Now consider how you are and try to avoid being like those bad people surrounding you right now.

The idea is that the old php syntax "function foo ()" remains unchanged [1] so developers can keep searching for "function foo". Removing "function" as keyword is a different topic and is discussed in a separate php thread [2].

The thing you mention ("float function add(){}") keeps the option to search for "function add", but I am unsure why this is not taken into account in this proposal.

Anyhow, I am pretty happy this finally made it to the php language.

For the sake of curiosity, what does that link contain?
For a major undertaking, sure. If you're a start-up, odds are that you have one product, and you can't afford for it to stagnate while it's scrapped and rewritten or while the developers layer hacks on hacks to fix bugs created by the last round of hacks.

Even a start-up, though, has tons of code that is not part of the main codebase. A pile of monitoring scripts, a program that generates an arbitrarily large amount of data for a test database, the company's blog, internal mailing list software, etc. When you have fewer than 50 employees, it is okay if half of those codebases are ugly hacks.

All I ask is that other folks remember that one person's bad article is another person's great piece of news, and use the flagging system sparingly.
http://www.amazon.com/Applied-Numerical-Linear-Algebra-Demme...

This is really good book.

It contains various topics from basic linear algebra (like solving systems with LR factorization) to solving (partial) differential equations with linear algebra. It also tells you where each method applicable (like, "you can use that if this, but that one method works almost everywhere you could need, except that it is much more expensive").

PS
Russian translation of that book quickly became a rarity.
