when someone uses a personal experience to bolster an argument, it is appropriate for someone to question the validity of how likely it is. It's not an ad hominem or a personal attack.
This article and the previous one are interesting but it's just highlighting features Postgres has that MySQL/MariaDB don't have. I was expecting a "fair" comparison and that's not what these are.
All 10 counties have seen a housing squeeze. My point is the article doesn't distinguish between existing poor residents getting richer vs poor residents being displaced by new, richer immigrants. Both would produce an increase in average GDP but through different means.
No, they are trying to solve a problem for their customers - storing large files. They charge money for this feature. It's disingenuous to think that they are breaking their product on purpose to extract money from you.
The wealth isn't "amassed," it is created. It hasn't been taken from anyone else. But I'm guessing you wouldn't ask "Wouldn't it be better if it was impossible to create that much wealth in the first place?"
Wow it is awesome. Can we also play around with classifier parameters ( k of kNN) ?

The paper discusses (in section 8) two different ways in which this attack can be prevented: Migrating the malicious process to another core, and periodically executing “healing instructions” which causes the transistors to recover.
If you value large file support over forking then its a value add.

Let's see, going to the moon, the internet, the atomic bomb, the space shuttle...I think the government has proven to be effect in the past. Not that the free market hasn't been effective too, but one might make the mistake of serious selection bias to really believe that the government can't perform "far out projects" well, especially when the will to perform them doesn't exist in the free market yet.

If I recall correctly the rallying cry at the EU's conception was not "Join the EU! Give up sovereignty to financial institutions and US-friendly right-wing bureaucrats!". In hindsight, perhaps it should have been.

Europe’s socialists face a dilemma. They are at last waking up to the unpleasant truth that monetary union is an authoritarian Right-wing enterprise that has slipped its democratic leash, yet if they act on this insight in any way they risk being prevented from taking power.

Brussels really has created a monster.

People who make products make these sort of tradeoffs all the time and the tradeoff is rarely something thats permanent. For the fast majority of people who need this kind of functionality (LFS), breaking forking is a inconvenience compared to the value being added.

>You need to be acutely aware of your audience and reach when you speak.

The problem 0x49 referred to is the polarization of discussions, where any attempt of moderation and nuance of the arguments is punished immediately with personal attacks and accusations of siding with the enemy. So it isn't just audience and reach that you should be acutely aware, it is also if you should speak on some matters at all. If you step in and say something in a polarized issue that doesn't fit someone's sensibilities in the extremes it makes you a target.
They have done it before. It is called communism. Nobody can can amass any wealth. No one has any incentive to start a company. Everybody is an employee, of the government. Guess how that turned out?

I wonder why these days we still have people think that's a good idea? Is it a sign of lack of education, or lack of common sense, or lack of critical thinking skill?
That's not a lot of ships. More ships are always waiting near Singapore (zoom in):

Does anyone know why there are so many ships waiting at Singapore? Are they merely idle? Waiting for port access? (if you're not familiar, look where Singapore sits on a map. Every ship between east asia and europe/middle east passes by).

I don't think under/over-representation is necessarily sexism; typical "correlation does not imply correlation". My point was that the first statement ("no sexism") was in direct contradiction to "Women Twice as Likely to be Hired Over Equally-Qualified Men". Of course, even that is not necessarily sexism; it could simply be that women are/expect to be paid less than equally-qualified/capable men, so it's a no-brainer to hire only women.
Electron is more active than NW.js looking at their github repos, it has had 25 releases since the last NW.js release for example. Visual Studio Code choosing electron was a big external validation too in my opinion. (no idea if that was a factor though)
Their new school seems to follow the community school model. Community schools provide classes for parents, wrap around services, dental, medical, social workers, etc. They are fairly popular in urban school districts, though their efficacy hasn't really been proven (though nothing truly ever is in K-12 edu).
heh, I use my linode to run a minecraft server, and, as it's often just me and a friend or 2, rarely use more then 50~100gb of the 3tb they give me. Would 1 instance worth of bandwidth be worth it?

Another thing to consider, you'd basically have to transfer the files to another person's server. How do you verify they don't mess with them? If you could reliably solve that, it'd be interesting to have some kind of "distributed CDN" thing.
If you use printf-like function without precise understanding semantics, you're asking for trouble. No amount of careful design is going to change that.
Right. Intent/culpability definitely plays into ethical decisions. Two pedestrians crossing legally at a crosswalk? Occupant. Two pedestrians willingly sitting in a barren stretch of road for no good reason? Pedestrians. Just as I should not be allowed to take others' lives simply because I selfishly value my own, others should not be allowed to take my life simply because they are stupid.

Unfortunately such decisions are very hard to make and depend on so many variables. In today's world, it can take years in a courtroom to determine who was in the right in such a scenario. Very curious to see how this plays out in the upcoming decades...
This looks great. Anyway to push Time Machine backups to Glacier with the app?
No kidding. A map of the shipping routes show that effectively no one takes that route these days, nor is there a 5 day detour for any well-trafficked route. (Eg, see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Shipping_routes_red_... .)
There's a railroad. It can carry about 1,500 containers a day[1]. There are approximately 175,000 containers waiting to transit the canal, based on the 33,500 figure in the linked Wiki page and the 5 day wait.

I left some of the early parts of my thought process out of the conversation.

My thought process went something like this: "This is a feature that is currently, probably accidentally, causing vendor lock-in for github users, as there is no easy way to take a project in its entirety back out of github, if it has enabled this feature. That kind of lock-in has been used in the past, by vendors across a wide spectrum, for evil purposes. Github, were it ever to become evil, would find this the kind of thing that would screw users and produce profit."

I don't believe github today has evil intent (though the author of the article seemingly does believe that), but I reserve the right to be skeptical of what the company's intentions will be in the future. Just as I should have been more skeptical of the the future intentions of SourceForge in the past. I think my position on this is entirely fair to github (which is a company and product I like), but I'm also trying to not to be a total sucker and make the same mistakes over and over again.

It's like trying to debug a SIGSEGV when you hold an unshakable religious belief that a certain pointer cannot be NULL. If your debugger tells you it's NULL, the debugger is biased, or at least is unconsciously exhibiting its page table privilege. If a colleague tells you that the pointer is NULL, he's a bigoted memoryist. You try to fix the SIGSEGV by renaming variables, refactoring functions, or changing data structures, but all you do is make the program slower and more complicated, and the damn thing still crashes.

In the end, customers are unhappy, you can't ship, and you lose your job because you don't allow yourself to see what's blindingly obvious and in front of your nose.

That's what the western world's identity politics fad feels like. The science tells us that there are important group differences. As long as we don't allow ourselves to see them and instead attack people who show them, we're not going to get anywhere.
Sequel Pro for MySQL is better because it's a more mature product. I've been using it for a while so there is a little familiarity bias.

I have also paid for Postico (before they launched on the Mac App Store). As far as Postgres clients go, it is the best.

Edit: When evaluating Postgres GUI clients, make sure they support the new JSON and JSONB data types.

I made some attempts, but since I'm not a primarily Clojure developer, it wasn't for me. In fact, the only things I hear about Light Table, which are all positive, are from Clojure developers. Nobody else has ever mentioned it to me let alone something positive.

Is it only me or does anyone else not "identify" as anything (expect my individualistic self)?

I'm a man by biological fact, not by identifying as one. Same with race, species, etc. Personally, I find the idea as someone "identifying" as another sex just as ridiculous as a completely white person "identifying" as black. Fact is, if you're white, no amount of convincing, shaming and delusion will change that.
The dataset is quite small and you have a fast machine. On my laptop, a 7 year old Core 2, there's a slight delay when running some of the heavier algorithms (e.g. running neural net or svm on the island data set).

Yes, the demand may peak at t=0 and since the price may only fall, there will still be a secondary market. However, their revenue will be much smaller. The minimum price for each ticket will be higher do to the falling mechanism. The discrepancy between what the secondary market will make is then smaller.
All I'm saying is that we work closely with drive vendors and test tons of drives at work. Most of what you're claiming here seems like speculation. For example, the remapping you talk about isn't constant. It happens somewhat frequently, but reads and writes aren't constantly reordered. Also, drive vendors spend tons of R&D on bin packing both on the physical disk and the data stream to try and eek out the most performance possible. Given how much the mechanical disk vendors are threatened by solid state technology, if there were a simple way to increase performance on drives, I'm sure they would provide it at this point. Even if they didn't do it for retail, their big customers would have access to it. I'm not aware of anything of the sort, so I doubt this is as big an issue as you claim.

Open firmware would be great for various other reasons like being able to have confidence in a secure erase solution or being able to have better telemetry to predict failures. That said, I wouldn't put some huge secret performance gains at the top of that list.

A system won't change while you watch it
Not worded well, admittedly, but IMO removing "already-taxed" from the parent doesn't change the original point.

The government has a conflict of interest here: it benefits tremendously from direct profits and the top-marginal-rate income tax assessed on winnings, but at the same time causes damage to public health via addiction, poverty, bankruptcy, and foreclosure. There is no useful real-world activity associated with the prize money itself: you're collecting peoples' money and giving it back to someone, then collecting income tax on that amount. Lottery profits beyond that are often promised to schools or public works projects (which would be economically useful), but that money is often redirected elsewhere [1].

Lotteries are marketed aggressively, often with depictions and/or anecdotes about what you'll get to do with the winnings. Some lotteries go as far as installing games in grocery stores. Odds of winning are almost always buried in fine print or glossed over. Lotteries are disproportionately played by the poor. In some lotteries, 80% of sales come from 10-15% of the players [2].

My gut supports group differences in intelligence. As Heinlein once wrote, if intelligence weren't heritable, you could teach calculus to a horse. It takes the entire intellectual edifice of modern radical egalitarianism to rob people of their common sense.
The Internet wasn't the Internet before the Commercial Internet Exchange (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_Internet_eXchange). I'm not sure how much credit the government can take for what it is now really. The space shuttle is no longer in service and failed with significant fatalities more than once. The atomic bomb is one of the most horrific technologies which exists. I'm not sure you're making your case with these.
But why?

Considering that racism is quite impractical.
Gripe: Being politically active is beneficial. Sure, you're not making the pie bigger, but the pie is arguably big enough already. In fact, working to slice the pie differently might have a greater effect on the median citizen than working to increase the size of the pie. The US has been making the pie a lot bigger but median wages haven't increased much.
Why is racism still alive and well?

Nobody else seems to be very positive on this article, so I'll shoot: This article puts into words something that I've always intuitively felt, and very articulately as well. I think it particularly hits the nail on the head when it notes that "Thinking of ourselves as primates strikes a little too close to home. It’s like being told you look like your brother; nobody wants to hear it."

The only addendum I would make is that I feel there ought to be some place in this viewpoint for avians as well; I can't justify it on the basis of biological similarity, but it's something I feel all the same.
directly after you set it
As other comments pointed, this caste system itself isn't really a "secret". We learn in school that it had existed, and there are quite a few stories dealing with it (A novel "The Broken Commandment" (破戒) by Touson Shimazaki, and an epic manga series "Kamui" (カムイ伝) are among the best ones; both have been translated to English).

However, things got complicated in modern society; officially the government denies the discrimination exist; some people still keeps prejudice; and the topic is used as a political tool.

This is roughly how I learned; I used Hakyll[0] to make my personal site, and working with the Compiler monad it uses taught me to understand monads and use do notation.

I think the big misunderstanding you and the parent commenter have is that you're conflating "large scale projects" with "far out projects". Just because both are large scale, doesn't make them the same thing.

Technologically complicated, Politically easy, "far out projects" or "moonshots", governments are relatively good. eg. putting the first man on the moon (politically easy: because of the competition with Russia).

Technologically easy, Politically complicated, "large scale projects", governments are (as the data shows) really, really bad at. eg. reforming the education system.

Some rationale: Humans looking for authority that then gain it, don't want to lose it. i.e. The dislike disruption. Government is run by humans with authority. It would then follow that governments don't like disruption.

Its extremely hard to politically justify disenfranchising all the poor performing teachers, administration, budget planners, healthcare workers, etc. even if it is actually in the best overall interest of society. Primarily because governments are a monopoly, and its in the best interest of all management (lower, middle or upper) in a monopoly to keep their controlling interests intact (and happy), regardless of productivity. As they say "keep things churning".
