That's probably why it was open-sourced. It'd take a huge effort to 'move' something as entrenched as Greenplum onto PostgreSQL 9.x and the fact that so many features and enhancements are missing from 8.2, it's putting off potential users.

Greenplum was a startup that was acquired by EMC in 2010. Pivotal is partially an EMC venture, so I guess that's how it ended up in their hands.

That's not the point. This is about people switching to Wintel from MacBook (assuming they didn't buy a MacBook pro just to install Windows). Developer that use Mac/OS X use it because it's a UNIX machine, so moving to not POSIX compliant does not make much sense.
Just wanted to point out a link between AKOM and Star Wars (lightsabers actually).

AKOM was founded in 1985 by Nelson Shin, the one who came up with the special effects of the original lightsaber in Star Wars Episodes 4, 5, 6.

Here's an interview with him by CNN in 2007. I remember watching the video on youtube while back but cannot find it now. But here's the text of the interview.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/10/18/talkasia.nelsons...

And this in the interview caught my attention.

I went to the States in 1971. When I arrived in U.S. at that time, the three major networks -- ABC, CBS and NBC -- started Saturday morning shows on a very large scale for children. This was a new movement in U.S. to bring the animation industry to life, but also to educate the children through this. But despite this large movement, there were no people who could actually work on the animation, which is why most of the work went to Taiwan, Korea and Japan. So because of this reason it may seem that Korea was playing a large role in the animation industry, but a lot of the animators in Korea actually started off by learning and working for these American shows.

> Like I told you before, people have been using class names as styling hooks since prehistoric times and what you have been proposing is not something new at all.

No, not new at all. What I'm proposing is almost as old as the CSS spec, but still is at odds with what people typically do.

> As with the example you cited, this is a pretty good example and use case for packaging the style module and slabbing a class name on it and pushing out the door but the problem with your approach is that you see EVERY and EACH CSS rule/ruleset as a viable candidate for potential reusability down the road when real world experience shows us that this is unnecessary and overkill.

You're right; it's an "architect astronaut" kind of thing and I reckon you have your point - most CSS won't be reused and - quite honestly - most reuse I do is in the SASS/preprocessor domain, not in the CSS/packaged styles domain. Nevertheless, extensive experience and lazy coworkers solutions tell me that it's just a matter of time until:

a) the DOM-bound rules stop reflecting your DOM structure and you have to maintain both "structures";
b) the DOM-bound rules leak undesired styling to other elements; and
c) people have to write even-more-specific selectors to override them.

> it's easy to remedy the situation with a few code lines and it's done without the need to invest upfront in a naming system that comes at a cost and has a considerable overhead at least from an organizational standpoint.

Come on... the overhead of writing BEM-like selectors? This gives you - besides the performance and IMO maintainability - predictability, a common standard for naming among the team members and a nomenclature which yields more meaning upon reading. I think this easily compensates the overhead.

Also, please notice, you said "remedy" the situation. Nothing particularly wrong with that, but that's not a solution - adding another CSS rules is just a "patch", and those patches will accumulate up until they're a "lot" of your CSS. Again, nothing wrong with that, but it's architecture vs. lack of architecture; what I'm proposing is a upfront solution to avoid this and to reframe style rules upon finding failures, which is different than "remediation".

> Again the problem is that you don't want to acknowledge that you don't solve the styling problem in CSS by simply passing the buck to HTML.

I really think you're seeing this wrong. Having more classes is not passing the buck to HTML.

> Taking the earlier timeline as an example, if you'd go class-only in CSS and to throw away all the simple logic provided by those pseudo-classes, you'd still have to provide a similar solution in your HTML template files.

First-child and last-child kind of stuff is usually where I open up exceptions. I tend to do the opposite if I'm using a JavaScript framework which I trust, to render modifiers in classes for first/last element (e.g. .timeline__element--first; .timeline__element--last), but I'm not against using CSS for this. Also, I don't propose adding a class via JS to do :hover. :)

The funny thing is I don't have their app installed. I have 2 Lumia phones that I use only for testing websites (no apps installed) and I have no idea how Hike was able to send messages via my phone to my contacts (have only 2 contacts on that phone). I haven't investigated it yet but looks like they were able to use some Windows related exploit to send messages on my behalf.
I have been running my side project for a year and advertised it on LinkedIN. My network is quite small - only 300 people. Out of 300 people exactly 0 had a look at it :-) On rare occasions I was mentioning this work to some people and yet again, nobody care. My observation is - only real geeks would spend their time to have a look, people who actualy do code. In 99% of cases potential employers are not those people (otherwise you would know where to mention your project and from your question I assume this is not your case)

Bingo. That's why this got through. If there's one thing the EU takes seriously it's the "common market": trying to ensure that companies across the EU can sell equally into all countries.
From what I read somewhere Facebook was making their mobile engineers use their app on older Androids (and maybe iPhones), which turned out to be very frustrating for them. I'm sure they are aware of the problem...
Being a technologist, I (we?) are probably more sensitive to technology presence in day-to-day life, so this strikes a chord. The joke of the evolution of a software engineer (https://medium.com/@webseanhickey/the-evolution-of-a-softwar...) has become reality, but for society in general.

Sometimes simplicity and lack of connectivity is for the better.
I disagree. Device/diagnostic companies get 483's all the time. What's telling is the scope of these observations. Theranos is failing on most counts of the quality system regulations. Judging by the observations they don't even have a corrective action (CAPA) process. That's a huge red flag.

I dream about what might have resulted if studio politics hadn't driven Guillermo del Toro away from directing the Hobbit...

Whether or not it would have worked, who knows, but it almost certainly would have been something far, far, better than the thinly-veiled amusement-park ride that the Hobbit movie ended up turning into under Jackson's tutelage.

[Yeah there are lots of "what ifs" in the world, but for a while, a GdT Hobbit actually seemed like it was going to happen...]
Certainly the pivot-constantly, push-code-daily mentality is not translatable to medical technology. That said, biotech & device companies could stand to be a hell of a lot more agile. Compliance is necessary but it isn't a complete impediment to moving quickly.

Maybe the dealerships and in general physical shops should evolve into paid-for showrooms?

That is, you pay, say, $50, and you get to try a bunch of cars or in general products that they have on loan from various manufacturers and get some guidance from the staff if needed.

Then once you figure out what you want, you buy it online and get it shipped to you.

Then there is no need to "protect" those shops, since the customer is paying precisely for the only value they add, which is the ability to try out things and ask for advice, and in fact the value of the advice would increase since there would be no conflict of interest.
I can't say much about the subject since I never used outsourcing, however 4000$ a month for a Ukrainian dev looks really over evaluated, it's much more than most positions in France.

I'm glad that Ukrainian Java devs are earning $4000 a month. The quicker wages rise in low wage countries the sooner the 'first world' countries will return to overall wage growth.
A small aside, would be interested to hear how you tracked down the bug? Obviously after you have solved the root cause.

In the embedded world, I would put a breakpoint on a write operation for that address. Once the breakpoint is triggered, I would inspect the trace.
Totally agreed with this and that was also our vision when we started to create Kontena (https://github.com/kontena/kontena)
In MySQL you append \G at the end of the query instead of ; to get the same result as \x.

Weird I know, but it works. Still psql is a superior client IMHO.
The same game? Most definitely not. I'd probably play Destiny 2 if they continue on the trajectory they're on. Bungie are listening and solidly improving the game. They keep messing up the grinding mechanics though. If they can fix the grind for end game content, I think they'll have a really successful franchise moving forward.

The gun play is second to none. The graphics are amazing. The missions themselves are ok, but lack the story needed to fully immerse you. The other thing is, the worlds feel so empty. There's just big open desserted areas with a few enemies here and there. Some NPC alias throughout the world will help that.

Leaving behind last gen is also necessary. But that should be a given. I won't buy the game if it's also available on last gen.
Which reinforces the point. There are two companies (at least) called Apple. They are both allowed to have the same name because they are in different industries.

If we only allow companies to have ".com" then which of these two companies, both called Apple, would have "apple.com"?

Having multiple TLDs allows for disambiguation. It's a good thing.
You mean, except that one study which started it...

It's crazy to start freaking out over something just because of one small study, especially if it's something that didn't seem to have any observable negative effects until then.
"the price of the cars that are sold needs to be high enough to cover the costs of building and storing the unsold ones."

We shouldn't be having this problem anymore. It's a massive detriment to the economies of scale model. Most people don't need to buy a car overnight, which ironically is because they are so expensive.

Keeping a small amount of cars for test driving and personal inspection is all that is needed. Then all that needs to be done is to batch up requests for production and shipping. Charge more 2 day shipping. Maybe Amazon can get into selling cars and same day deliveries for free with Amazon Prime.
Trying to create an ideal .htaccess
If you're selling me something very big and expensive I better get a chance to look at it up close and try it out. If you're going to charge me for that experience then I will go somewhere else.

What should happen is the car manufacturers buy out the best dealerships and simply sell the cars direct. It'll allow them to optimize their distribution and inventory channels and give them a bigger margin overall. It's going to put many dealerships out of business but it's an old business model that no longer works in the world; you can't expect to keep it afloat when there is no good business reason for doing so.
I don't know why you had problems in towns, that seems strange. I did a trip to Wales and the English Midlands, and had no problems with O2, or my friend with Vodafone — I have photo check-ins from mountains and valleys in Wales to show for it.

Having said that, Vodafone has a reputation for good 2G coverage, but I don't think that holds for 3G or 4G. It could also be a bit out of date.

https://www.vodafone.co.uk/explore/network/uk-coverage-map/

I think it's telling that Vodafone's 2G map shows the whole country, but the 3G and 4G maps are limited to a high zoom, so you don't get an overview.

The government regulator has a map which gives a fair comparison: http://www.ofcom.org.uk/mobile-coverage.

For anyone else doing something similar, EE would be the best choice.
Here is a nice overview. Maybe slightly outdated by the latest developments, but the concept of wholesale and retail rates is clear https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_roaming_regulat...

I know I'm a nutter, but I like the type system :)

I like that there's "==" and "===", because that's exactly how I think. It fits my use case of "is this the same value as that?" or "is this really equal to that?" exactly.

I like that types are fluid, flexible and never get in my way.

But there's a religious war here that I think got won by the static type side, so I'm not going there again ;)
I assume they will be more capable than the average developer in any country.

Everywhere I've worked and lived companies doing anything remotely complicated need to hire devs that are significantly better than average or it's just a waste of money. Sometimes they just aren't around at any reasonable cost for whatever reason.
The car manufacturers actually lobbied for laws that prevent them from cutting out dealerships, to remove barriers to entrepreneurs investing in building brand-exclusive dealerships. The dealerships wouldn't have been built without these laws protecting them, that's why the manufacturers lobbied for them.

The legal system in place was a precondition for the development existing American car dealership network, and I doubt that the dealerships are going to go down without a breach of contract fight.
sorry, what do you mean ?

They already have... My employer are running multiple native advertising techs to alleviate the problem of ad blocking. We are also running anti-ad-blocker techs to measure and take action on users with active ad-blocking technologies.

Personally, I'm thoroughly against this arms race where both we and our users are loosing. But the financial side of our company sees it a different way.
IIRC this isn't "changing" the MAC address, as a reset of the software will once again begin broadcasting the original. Rather, it is spoofing, i.e. forcing the software to lie about the MAC address that was built into the hardware.
Except that the largest margin for dealerships and car manufacturers is the Aftersales parts/accessories. There is a good reason they exist, it's just that companies like Tesla are offering a different business model of packaged accessories (some other car manufacturers do similar but usually on top of individual accessories not instead of).
I think he is quite right, but the real blind spots are way higher in the human thought than object representation. Perhaps that's how it has to be, at the very top level of cognition, there is no other mechanism for correcting errors, except perhaps somewhat following behavior of other people, which may also be completely foolish (or may be deliberately obscured).

I just commented here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10460022
Maybe, just like the beetle looks for a good bottle, we need a good narrative (or friend recommendation) to find the news or idea interesting.

Or another example, many believe in free markets, despite evidence (which can be interpreted as an argument both for and against free markets) that people (including the believers) don't want to participate in free markets.

The thing called "ego" often seems to act against the true reality. It would be my prime candidate for the blind spot in human thought.

Being in an SME, we don't have dedicated HR and the screening/interviewing is distributed between a part of the executives (all with technical background). We always look (and even ask for in the job ads) for active github / blog...

What we will look for in those depends on the job obviously, but we will look. It's the same for my close network of people holding those responsibilities in similar companies (Europe, Asia, UAE).

Also in my experience IT staffing agencies most likely won't look/care.

I know all of this thanks to an old lecture I once attended (not a phone dev), so my information might be a bit off and outdated, but in broad strokes: it's partially due to naive programming practices, but phone manufacturers are also somewhat to blame.

Every app has to poll for new messages on their own. That means opening up a connection just to see if something new is there.

To give an analogy that's easy to grasp: imagine a giant sluice, big enough to fit two oil tankers. Opening a connection is like sending boats through it, the boats are the data, and the water is the power used each time. Now this sluice is a bit funny: once you operate it, it's very efficient and automatic, but it runs twenty times. In other words, you want have at least forty big-ass boats full of data to send through if you don't want to waste energy (to be clear, I just pulled these numbers out of the air; and in a real sluice that would be forty boats both ways, but internet connections are a bit different).

Now imagine you just send a teeny tiny boat checking for new messages each time. If there's a message, data will be sent back (other boats). If not, due to how 2/3/4G work, the sluice will still open and close forty times. That'a s LOT of wasted water. It also takes time to operate the sluice.

Not everyone who develops these apps is aware of this, so some naive app developers poll all the time.

What would be amazing if the phone OS provided some sort of batching system where these polling messages would queue up, and it would connect for all of them at once. I dunno, maybe the newer phones have something like that.
This is awesome, and exactly the right way to go about things (reporting things privately, telling people when there's a good outcome). It's good to see so many HN companies handling their side of the issues so well too.

EDIT: Just for curiosity's sake, how many HN companies have you tried to hack? 24 successes (not counting HN as a company) out of every company that's been through the accelerator would indicate HN companies are unusually good at websec. Conversely, if you've only tried to hack 24 and you've had 24 successes, that would indicate something else.
