Last I checked, the recommended production config of mongo, in the simplest case, required at least 3 separate servers configured in a master, slave, and arbitrator cluster. Compared with setting up AWS multi zone replicated RDS SQL servers (push a button), it is very much a pain.

Yes compose.io helps.

Saving Data in Your NativeScript Mobile Application
I still don't know the answer:

"After the unbundling, IBM software was divided into two main categories: System Control Programming (SCP), which remained free to customers, and Program Products (PP), which were charged for."

So what were Amdahl's customers able to get? Didn't they get System Control Software from IBM (1)? Was it free for them?

1) I've found the Computerworld 1 Nov 1976 article mentioning IBM's MVT 21.8 running on Amdahl's 470.

I live in a small town in southeast Alaska, where there's only a few small yachts; most boats in the harbors are either fishing boats or small boats for personal use. There's one yacht in the harbor next to the school I teach at.

I clicked on a random icon near Seattle, and it was the one yacht I see every day on my walk to school:

Through several generations of Android I had problems with battery life. However I never had problems with apps like you describe. Since my Note 4 I cannot complain about battery life, and now that iPhone has taken on some Android features like multitasking, friends I know with older iPhones are having battery issues (including one with an iPhone 5 that just had the battery replaced). So it was a tradeoff of emerging features, where Android had included many more from the start (Apple is more careful/conservative) and they are at parity now.
If you see Basic Income as a negative tax, it turns a flat tax rate into a smooth progressive curve.

Let's suppose a BI of $1000/month and a 50% flat tax.

Someone without a job gets $1000/month.

Someone with a $1000/month job pays $500, gets $1000, ends up with $1500/month.

Someone with a $2000/month job pays $1000, gets $1000, ends up with $2000/month, paying effectively no taxes.

Someone with a $4000/month job pays $2000, gets $1000, ends up with $3000/month, paying effectively 25% taxes.

Someone with a $10000/month job pays $5000, gets $1000, ends up with $6000/month, paying effectively 40% taxes.

Note that I'm not opposed to keeping progressive taxation on top of the BI. I just think it's not really necessary anymore, and it could be used to convince conservatives to give this a try.

This isn't a very well-formed question so it is hard to answer meaningfully. You will need to identify what it means to "look so nice" since that is entirely subjective. I think once you've answered that you are well on your way to answering your own question.

For what it's worth, I just opened ST for comparison and it looks nearly identical, fonts render the same between them. I believe ST and Atom have some UI elements that aren't integrated into Emacs out-of-the-box like tabs and mini-maps; is this what you are referring to?

There's no need to paraphrase a conversation that is already present. The problem is you didn't only ask for citations, on something that was also clearly an anecdote, but also made your own greater claim i.e. the absence of something, without even providing your own anecdote. That is what you are being asked for citations on.

Sure, you can nitpick over the use of the word prevalent, but it's quite clear from the context that the conclusion was drawn on basis of the experience described (other than the article).
great read! I'm 3 years into the language and brought it into my company. As part of mentoring other devs coming from a web background, I kept repeating the mantra, "make it work the simplest way first" then explore the options scala gives you. As long as there were units tests for the logic, the details could change. The more I use the language, the more fascinated I become. Heck, I just learned about Bottom types last week!
That's valid, but I was going for an ELI5 style explanation of a concept that surprised and confused me at the time. If you want to provide a better one, I'm happy to merge any pull requests.

Not a fan of mongo's query format/language, but I have to agree. It's always bugged me that so much work has gone into relational databases, and yet the only way anybody interfaces with them is by using an extremely quirky programming language from the 70's (or whenever).

The linked article states 100 Gb/s, i.e. gigabits per second. But the post title says "100GB/s" which suggests gigabytes per second. Worth correcting, because getting 100GB/s between two machines in the same rack would be quite an achievement today.

Tolerating repeated serious safety violations absolutely, positively does not make you nice.

There is one langauge that once I complained to the authors that it was broken: Lua.

Lua uses floating point by default, it can't make integer math at all, I made a game using Lua, back then DirectX had a bug where it would switch the floating point mode of the processor without permission, and sometimes the result was some extreme FPU imprecision.

Since Lua uses only the FPU for maths, even for integers, the result was that my game had lots of extremely bizarre results sometimes on Windows (while on Linux and OSX it worked as expected), it happened only once, but I saw 5+6 result in 13...

It was a really hard thing to debug, specially because of the flaming (when I asked about this on Lua IRC and forums, people flamed me endlessy, happily one guy in particular suggested me to check if it was the DX issue, and indeed it was).
The "faces up to" is technically true, but substantively misleading. They upper statutory limit for the crime charged was, indeed, 35 years. The details of the specifics of the charges would not, under the federal sentencing guidelines, support anything near that maximum sentence, and while upward departures from the guidelines are technically possible, there is no basis for thinking they were likely in that case.

It's a deception that serves DOJ interest in making their activities seem more significant and newsworthy, and the press don't bother to challenge it, either through laziness out because the artificially enhanced dramas serves the interests of the press.

8 Ways to Enhance Your Work Performance with Focus
The European Economy Was Flying on Just One Engine in the Third Quarter
I’ve played a bit with Jeremy Evans’s Sequel (http://sequel.jeremyevans.net), and I’m not sure that ORMs are necessarily constrained along this dichotomy (easy to use but with poor performance vs great performance but hard to use). Sequel seems to be about making the hard things easy and reducing the amount of time you need to drop to pure SQL to almost zero.

As someone who has built with Oracle’s Pro C(++) and with various ORMs, Sequel is an ORM that makes me reasonably happy and gives me the expressiveness of embedded SQL without compromising my object model.
Government is not the same as society, but in a functioning democracy, government should be the tool through which society organizes itself.

If government exists completely separate and independent of society, something is wrong.
>It may also be a bit early, as automation isn't in its stride yet.

I'm curious as to how you would judge whether or not automation is efficient enough to do this?

Buckminster Fuller, former president of the Mensa society, argued that we passed that invisible line back in the 1970's:

>In technology's "invisible" world, inventors continually increase the quantity and quality of performed work per each volume or pound of material, erg of energy, and unit of worker and "overhead" time invested in each given increment of attained functional performance. This complex process we call progressive ephemeralization. In 1970, the sum total of increases in overall technological know-how and their comprehensive integration took humanity across the epochal but invisible threshold into a state of technically realizable and economically feasible universal success for all humanity

-Buckminster Fuller, Grunch of Giants, 1982
>The budding asshole has learned, perhaps subconsciously, that other people interrupt them less if they use stronger language.

But there should be some underlying reason why stronger language warrants more airtime.

I have another hypothesis why assholes seem smart.

Sometimes I catch some error that people around me spread. But I can't quite articulate it at first. Then it reappears and becomes somekind of norm. At this point I get frustrated.

Then something happens which to me shows how fucked up things have gone. I finally articulate what I felt was wrong. Also all that bottled up frustration surfaces. This is probably when I appear most "smart", because well thought out stuff goes public suddenly. It has actually nothing to do with how smart I actually am. It's just that certain assholiness and talking smart stuff happens at the same time.

Extrapolate and people who are assholes all the time seem inherently smart.

We are herd animals. Teams competing with teams is usually perceived as empowering. Individuals competing with individuals is usually perceived as grueling. Assholes are not the problem, they are a symptom.
Ditto to me. Seems strange - maybe white tried suicide?
Although I agree with most of what the author says here about scala and its benefits and features, this is hardly a debunking and more of a strongly opinionated defense. Some of the arguments are along the lines of "hey SBT isn't just a bunch of symbols" or "I upgraded my MacBook and compilation times are not a problem" or "tooling is better now". Reassurances yes, debunking hardly.

Scala compilation time is probably the worst problem I have with scala, and it still is frankly. I have seen no evidence that this has improved from personal experience and after talking with devs I know working in large scala code bases (Foursquare, Twitter).

Even if there are speed improvements in the scala compiler in future versions, the author doesn't address binary incompatibility between major scala versions either which, along with slow compilation times, makes it a serious PITA to upgrade to a scala version that might actually compiler faster.

So effectively, in Haskell, it's both and neither.

A Float will round, as expected.

A double will return the correct value as it, should.

Shouldn't the Scientific, if it has arbitrary precision, arrive at the correct value too?

Clearly the only logical conclusion is that the Glasgow compiler, at its roots, virtualizes the entire quantum mechanics model as a compilation step, enabling superposition-as-a-feature.

My futile attempts at humour aside, this is quite an interesting thing to know and exactly the kind of intricate little detail I was hoping for.

Tip of the hat, friend.
"Vice wants authorization to show notifications"

Vice can officially fuck off.
Corporate Networks 10-15 years ago are like the Canadian US border, where as today they're more akin to the North Korean South Korean border.

10-15 years ago everything was on the same LAN except for the handful of web servers you might have plugged into the DMZ port of your firewall and every client was implicitly trusted. Today we have VLANs for everything and segmentation is done purely for organization aesthetics. Switches can dynamically provision ports based on the client connected. Wired clients and wireless clients reside in different segments with different restrictions. Open network ports in unsecured areas, like conference rooms, are on highly restricted VLANs. I've even seen segmentation based on client MAC addresses where unknown devices were just routed back to themselves for everything.

Back then Email servers accepted connections from anyone and would relay just about anything no questions asked, today email servers are locked down and very suspicious of one another with DNS records (SPF, PTR) for verification.

There are security appliances sitting on the edges of network monitoring all inbound and outbound traffic as well as appliances in the network watching the too and fro. We have software clients sitting on desktops monitoring traffic and blocking malicious or harmful requests as well. Software firewalls are now standard and turned on by default.

On top of all that, Mobile Networks are distributed with each cell tower being it's own insular network with a secure WAN connection over an ISP back into the central network with all manner of port filtering in place.
How to protect your online brand against cybersquatters
Thats assuming you get your money from income tax. Thats the wrong assumption. The whole premise is that there will be less and less jobs until there are almost none left. So you need to find other means to pay for it whether thats by giving every employee a share in the automated workforce, taxing money that sit idle and so on.
I'm gong by the article which states: "as indicated by Kela’s Research Department Director Olli Kangas. It is considered that all Finnish citizens would be paid an untaxed benefit sum free of charge by the government, 800 euros"

So, not sure if that would change in implementation.

With regard to perceived fascism nations typically act in self interest. This is why they go to war. Neither China nor Russia typically much care about what anyone else thinks, whether it's human rights orgs, etc. Actually, most places don't care. It's mostly Europeans who are afraid to look nationalist. You really don't experience doubt of identity in most other countries.

Now, I get it that one day we will have to transcend the idea of nations and embrace global globalization and beyond internationalism, but we're just not there yet. Maybe another couple of hundred years.

I get the impression that "it looks good" has only fairly recently become an important design consideration for hackers. The problem is not specific to Emacs, quite a bit of Linux FOSS has a pretty ugly GUI. It's starting to get better, but fixing early design choices can be a lot of work. I guess nobody has bothered putting that much work into the Emacs GUI yet...

Until then: use Emacs in terminal. That's the way it was meant to be used originally, and it still looks best that way ;-)
The article made it sound as though the vulnerability was in Javascript V8 itself. In which case, if Firefox supports it, wouldn't it be just as vulnerable?
Using Scala for about 5 years after being a Java dev for another 5 years. This post captures my view pretty accurately as well. Including book recommendations. I want to believe that most software engineers don't avoid checking scala just because of some "one star" post about it or other rants.
Most languages do (though implementation bugs are common—plenty of languages where 64-bit precision is required actually end up being implemented in such a way that 80-bit precision is used on x86).

That said, a lot of low-level languages don't: C doesn't guarantee this, for example. C doesn't even mandate IEEE 754, and it merely requires that "float" is a subset of the values of "double" which is itself a subset of the values of "long double".
> Just adding 0.1 to 0.2 in the language of your choice can be misleading because printing the number might just cut off the digits at some point.

It's amazing that someone went to the trouble to register a custom domain for this and put up a nicely formatted page, yet doesn't explain the above: that it's not (just) a matter of representation, but printing precision.
The difference is between the length of their floating-point number (e.g. float vs double).
This is not new. Existing Carriers have been offering 100GbE services for some time although the type of customer who requires this type of service is few and far between.

As for 10GbE for residential, if this is literally 10G to the home then that is something new (as a product offering, technology is not new). Interesting to know how they do the hand-off as 10GbE interfaces are simply not useful for home use.

Where does the author think the funding comes from in the normal situation? It's confiscated from the populace just the same. What is this elusive property of the government that makes it not a self-funding gang which is not present in any part of the government (e.g. police in this case) but present in the whole?
