SharePoint 2010 and SQL Server 2008R2 introduced support for hosted Power Pivot workbooks.[0]

Power Pivot is the Excel add-in (available for Excel 2010+) which enables dimensional modelling and >1M row analysis in Excel, and which can be transitioned to a hosted environment via SharePoint and SQL Server.

Starting with SQL Server 2012, SSAS includes Tabular mode, which allows a seamless upgrade path from an Excel Power Pivot model to an SSAS instance.

This is seamless because the same DB engine is used in both products. Power Pivot runs a private, anonymous instance of SSAS Tabular behind the Excel process, with a few features disabled (e.g. row-level security).

Power View is a high level visualization and dashboarding tool introduced for SharePoint 2010 and 2013 as a part of the SQL Server 2012 SSRS module.[1] This is the visualization tool designed to pair with Power Pivot and the Tabular model. It is also available as an add-in for Excel 2013+[2], and as part of the standalone Power BI Desktop[3] which has been available since Power BI portal's general availability in July of 2015.

I do not know what you are referring to by saying that there is a 1M row limit in practice with SP 2013 and SQL Server 2012, because this is simply not the case. If your organization is not using the features and these are pain points for you, I'd love to have further discussion with you offline - my email is gregory.baldini at gmail dot com.

"... I thought that Total was the best I could get - now I'm not so sure."

I used to think this too but when they started introducing multiple variants I switched to Oral B Pro Expert. It was a no brainer because Pro Expert was fast becoming the new 'best you could get'.

Alas Pro Expert has also now morphed into many variations on the same theme.

Yeah, they may be comfortable with it in consumer testing with people familiar with YouTube, but what about the people who never remember what anything is called and say things like Faceplace for Facebook, or Foxfire or "The Internet" for Firefox? If YouTube Red becomes popular (which I assume is something Google wants), you know these same people will be calling it things like TubeRed or RedTube.

Maybe Google is ok with watching the awkwardness that will ensue, since it probably won't cause them any monetary harm.

Instead of invoking the idea of action-at-a-distance and then reflexively prepending the "spooky" tag to it, why doesn't anyone ever ask what a purely local physical description would entail, and then prepend something like "spooky" to that?

A purely local description would consist of a universe filled with nothing but [zero-dimensional] mathematical points that somehow affect each other in some bizarre way. But the physics involved would be entirely unknown, because mathematical points have precisely zero extent, with the side effect being that two mathematical points either a) occupy the same location, making them physically indistinguishable, or b) occupy different locations, making them absolutely disjoint (ie, "infinitely apart").

Let's think about 2 points approaching each other in a classical Newtonian universe. Now they are a meter apart and now they are a millimeter apart and now they are a nanometer apart. In each of these cases, they are perfectly disjoint, and have no possible way of communicating to each other. But now they both occupy the same location, and all possible classical physical descriptions have broken down!

The only rational solution is that the universe can only have a fundamentally nonlocal description. That is, the fundamental units of reality are spatially extended fields that do not suffer from the same requirement of pure mutual exclusivity that naive Bohr-esque classical models suffer from.

Abandoning this requirement is what gave de Broglie the impetus to develop his own theoretical model that would soon thereafter inspire Schrodinger to develop a mathematical infrastructure, which, when combined with Heisenberg's matrix mechanics via Dirac's new algebraic formalism, would become the modern, canonical quantum theory that we have today.

Edit: downvotes land me in negative territory for this :( ... Any explanation as why this reply is so bad? I am honestly curious!

Edit #2: I guess I should have just said "Hey, Schrodinger's cat!" or "Wow, how about that Many Worlds Interpretation!", then I would have inspired the peanut gallery to jump into some pseudo-philosophical discussion that has been repeated time and again. But alas, I have resorted to a thoughtful consideration of the deeper ideas of QM, and have found myself relegated to the footnotes of the "Hackernews-iverse" :P!!!

Why is that amazing? Seems like the absolutely most simple and logical conclusion. In the Schrödinger's Cat example, there the only reason to assume the cat is in a dual state is if you want to make a more complex interpretation of the situation.
Systemic issues with how human civilation is run, especially large scale pertrol chemical monoculture agriculture is to blame. We will continue to have these issues until we start innovating to use more restorative & ecologically friendly techniques.

One issue is the feedback cycle of nature is slower than the snap judgments of humans with vested interests.

One thing I've noticed is some people either understand the systemic issues & some people do not. I speculate that a person pays attention to certain things. Many people will discount another person's perspective if they cannot observe the same distinctions.

I mostly use my left hand I guess to thumb up.

But your post is interesting, it would make sense to me to use a right-hand thumb up by default since right-handed people are close to 90% of the world wide population. It would be interesting to know why some companies just went with the left-handed version, if it's an aesthetic choice or just coincidence.

I'm not sure if I believe that SO_REUSEPORT is the right thing here. While both servers are running, aren't they both answering requests, depending on which one gets scheduled first?

Can you work around this by instructing the first server to stop calling accept() before launching the second server? (But keep the first server's listening socket open, in case the second server doesn't start, so you can tell it to start calling accept() again.)
In your experience is the risk of the real money managers unconstrained? It seems odd these guys have to hit these rates of return, no matter what.

This same type of behavioral nuance comes up when looking at low vol strategies: empirically, low vol outperforms per unit of risk than high vol due to managers seeking high rates of return in combination with being unable to leverage.

As a Brit, then yes I think most people would rather a renationalisation, even the Tories. But it's weirdly complex, because Network Rail is back under public ownership. So the infrastructure is backed and bailed out by the tax payer.

http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/aug/28/network-rail...

As a user it's a shambles. The network hit capacity back in the Blair years, and there has been a drive to get people off of trains as a result.

A little ingenuity wouldn't go amiss. Like cheap, and cheaper tickets for off peak travelling etc. I know using the trains on the Brighton main line, isn't much fun.

I run Plex Home Theater on my Rasp Pi 2 and it provides the best experience of any plex client I have ever used (Chromecast, AppleTV + PlexConnect, FireTV Box, Xbox 360, Xbox One). I'm VERY disappointed in the new UI as I hate the "Modern"/Xbox look it has. I do NOT want side scrolling or variable-sized posters as it's very hard to follow. I want my on deck, recently added, and a quick way to browse and entire section. This is a MASSIVE step backwards in UI and I will hang on to PHT for as long as I possibly can.

Not much is new to 15.10. It really comes off as a nice, polished, stop-gap before 16.04 -- which is when a lot of things will get interesting.

I'm expecting this release to be treated similarly to some other non-LTS releases. 12.10 has a reputation for altcoin mining. 14.04 is suggested for gaming. 15.10 will probably become the de jure for Ubuntu + X.

This is a kind of an economist's version of events. It's not wrong, but it is a narrative so it's useful for thinking about things in ways that economists are interested in, not necessarily every way.

Debt as the origin of money kind of dates to the time when economists were thinking about these things more than the time when money was invented. Money was invented lots of times. A common form is when there is a lot of trade and people start trading in particular things specifically for their tradability. Those things are then money. No promises involved.

In some cases there is evidence of promises as early money. Cattle or wheat and traded for clay artifacts and traded back at will could. This allowed traders to exchange clay coins instead of actual goods which is ore convenient. But, I think this is an exception.

Modern money often evolved from promises to pay bearers gold or other currencies and eventually the promise was removed.

Back to the narrative…

For my own narrative, I think of money like this. Money is a tool for massive and complex cooperation in large groups, a fundamentally human talent. It's emergent and the behavior that encourages its emergence is massive and complex cooperation in ways that require it, trade basically. If enough trade is happening, I think money emerges in some form and it enables even more trade.
So, just snagged this, I've been using plex for about as long as it has existed - went from XBMC (on a hacked original XBOX, of course) to Kodi to PMC....

It's good. Makes the experience far more consistent with their current offerings for devices, and as far as I can see, nothing particularly important seems to have gone walkies - handles impressively awkward subtitles with aplomb, channels all still work, in fact it's easier than ever to sling on reddit videos and sit and stare.

All in all, approval.
The thing is, rail and energy are to a great extent bogus choices. For many journeys there's only one possible operator. On short haul services, there's no seat reservation either. So the only possible variable is how far in advance you buy your ticket and what railcards you present.

Electricity is even more bogus: the company you pay is neither the company that owns the generators nor the company that owns the transmission lines. It's a pure middleman. You're locked in a pure struggle with a set of billing systems, which you have to "game" in order to get the best deal.

We should definitely distinguish between different consumers.

I personally have always drawn fine distinctions between different types of loaf. At one time I could barely tell the difference between naan and roti.

A friend of mine - who can easily distinguish between paratha, lecha paratha, kerala paratha and methi paratha - can barely tell the difference between croissant and loaf.

So what are you proposing? Taking away my artisinal whole grain sourdough loaf, or taking away her lecha paratha?
> Let the market decide...in the end, I just can't imagine all those types of toothpaste will survive.

The idea that the "market will decide" is based on people in aggregate making informed decisions, such that the poor products fail. The reality is that people are not masters of every domain, toothpaste choices are basically arbitrary, but it's more time consuming to inspect 30 options than to inspect 5.

Also there is the practise of building one manufacturing line and selling the product under multiple brands [1], giving you "artificial" choice. If we're going to reduce choice, starting with these would be low hanging fruit.

That's an interesting observation! "The market" is aware of how we make decisions. Its no accident there are too many choices, thus we can't keep them all in our heads, so we can't ever find the best or worst brand. That's got to be intended!

Ripping DVDs is 1000X a better experience than watching a buffering icon spin during primetime. Offer me a way to legally download an mkv/mp4 and play it through whatever player I want and/or transcode it if I want and I'll be falling over myself to give you my money.
I fucking "love" poettering's comparison of removing libc.so(!) to systemd throwing a hissy fit because mtab is a file and not a symlink (to a known path no less, so it should have been possible for the systemd code to go "hmm, a file? Better warn the sysadmin about that and check that other location").
Ripping DVD's/BluRays is a very popular way to do it. Plex also has "channels" for streaming content but they are a crap-shoot on if they work any given day and I've all but given up on them.
It did when the alternative was the entire educational process behind knowing what they need, what tradeoffs are inherent, what the price should be, what vendors provide it at the acceptable price, what drawbacks come with those other vendors, living with those drawbacks, etc.

Technical people like to pretend it's the easiest thing in the world to "know" how much computer someone needs and to buy it. But if you're non-technical, all you hear is technical people saying "trust me". Which is precisely the same thing Apple is saying.

And, yes, we show them lower sticker prices. But Apple has a far better track record of delivering customer satisfaction than technical people recommending beige boxes. So, for anyone with the money, why in the world would they care for two seconds about "too much computer"?

"Aww shucks. I bought too much computer and loved it, instead of listening to the geeks, getting just enough, and hating it."
Indeed, this point came up in a conversation about Whole Foods.

I don't know how Google Play Music stacks up against the others, but it's something I would consider.

Absolutely true. But that has nothing to do with the original comment which was about traditional law enforcement requests for information.

As most said, unless it's a surprise gift, let her decide.

If it is a surprise, try to get her feedback in more subtle ways (I'm pretty bad at that, but I guess asking about her girl friend's phones or something).

In general, it depends on your money availability, general use case, IT ecosystem at your house or where she'll be using it, etc.

If money is no objection, she won't be using it for programming-related stuff or obscure hobbies, can afford apps, etc. or you have a heavy Apple ecosystem, then the iPhone is probably the best bet.

If money is a concern, then it can be either an Android-based system or Windows Phone.

For the very low-end smartphones, I recommend Windows Phone, some Android smartphones are terribly underpowered and deliver an awful user experience.

Personally, I have an Android device because it's the one that fits my needs the most (but I do use it for programming), and my country is 90% android smartphones so I'll have every app available.
Your files don't get written to disk atomically. When you run `git pull`, git goes one-by-one and updates each file. It doesn't promise what order the files are updated in.

The automatic reload behavior is a thing peculiar to the dev server. If you tried using it in production, especially on a large repo on a loaded server, chances are that Django's auto-reloader would notice that files have been changed as soon as git updates the first file, and it would reload that new file but the remainder of your old files. So some of your requests would go through to a splinched version of your website.

Of course, the reloader will figure out soon after that the last file has been changed, but if you were willing to tolerate a brief period of incorrect code / requests returning errors, you can tolerate actual downtime.

That's why this method, and all correct zero-downtime deploy methods, involve running a new Django server in a new directory, waiting for it to start, and then signalling the web server to route requests there.

My father got one back in the early 2000's from the estate of a collector and I've gotten to drive it a few times. You definitely get a _lot_ of looks and comments. I found it to be a supremely uncomfortable car. It's particularly nasty in the summer-- the AC is underwhelming and the windows offer very little ventilation. His is a manual transmission and it feels under-powered, viewed in the context of a daily driver. Viewed in a "sports car" context it's definitely under-powered.

His car is fairly low mileage (under 30K), but it needed a substantial amount of electrical retrofit (the stock relays had a propensity to short-out, apparently) and the torsion bars on the doors needed to be replaced.

They are definitely iconic cars.
