> LMDB writes will keep data exactly where it was placed the first time it was written.

Wait a minute. I was under the impression that the reason LMDB works so well under concurrent access is that it _never_ modifies anything in place, but when it has to modify a value it will copy the existing content of the page along with the new value to some unused place... so data _is_ moved between updates.

Or am I missing something ?
There is always the possibility to make a map/reduce over multiple datasets. It is not exactly a replacement for join, but you can cover aggregation over multiple datasets with a output-collection. Well... in my opinion this is much more complicated and error-prone than a join-operation on a relational database.
The exposures are definitely off, and they keep switching from one image to the other.
There is a cheap fix which would nonetheless make browsing much more pleasant: transition each image from the previous image's exposure to the current one over a second or so.

What people don't get about Microsoft is however bad they were, they practically enabled a hugely diverse and mostly open hardware and software ecosystem and they had to standardize and open up in order to keep it going. Sure they had their monopolistic ways but fortunately they were reigned in for the better.

It's disingenuous to claim user experience requires a closed and non standard system. And besides that Microsoft and Linux distros have made steady progress towards improving the quality and experience while still keeping the PC ecosystem open.
LINQ is just an "express your query as an AST" approach. Sure LINQ presents its self as a DSL on top of that AST ( which is exactly what SQL is at the end of the day ), but there are libraries for MongoDB that allow you to do the same thing. There is even a LINQ driver for MongoDB[1]. What you are missing is that by having the lowest common denominator be the AST instead of a DSL you have removed a huge burden from both the server and client side of the operation. From that AST you can build any kind of client side interface without worry about how to parse or compile the result into a specific textual language, even plain old SQL[2] can be used if you like your sever spending its clock cycles parsing text.

I would think most Marxists would agree that any society would be have a more prosperous working class with a basic income than it would without one. Because of the framework of class analysis Marx provides however, Marxists do not compromise on moving beyond capitalism. The problems of capitalism run much deeper than just poverty.

I don't think that you argued my point, though. Virtually every reform program in the history of capitalism has eroded over time, even the ones that probably sounded as impressive as UBI at the time (near 100% tax rates, social security, etc.).
> I could easily see a self driving car being too conservative to find a gap and pull out, leading to a furious string of drivers behind it.

That's why the google cars have a little 'aggression' factor which makes them move out a bit without waiting for a completely clear gap.
> I don't know that the Five Eyes have the kind of temporal resolution in their measures that would be needed to conduct these kinds of attacks. In fact, it's very likely that they don't.

Why is it unlikely for them to have that kind of temporal resolution? I would assume the opposite. It seems like it would be trivial to save timing information along with packets. And the timing data must be relatively small compared to whatever data they're saving on the packets, so the added storage requirement is not really a concern.
If you just want to look around and jump from place to place, then it's trivial and likely already works with Google cardboard. If you're talking about being able to move freely, it's a much more complex problem and you do need a 3D model.

http://matterport.com/ attempts to do that with a 3D camera, but their prettiest results still rely on discrete spherical panoramas.
You want COBOL. It did decimal by default 50 years ago.
Heya, I run a similar site since ages: http://libreprojects.net :)

The focus is on highlighting one (the best) alternative in a given field, and limit the ones listed to those which are well-designed, open source of course, and also have a hosted instance so it’s ready to use for anyone without a server.

I’m sure you already know of https://prism-break.org/ ?
In this case, that was deliberate. I was using it to show the exact decimal value of the floating point approximations to decimal numbers, not to do decimal arithmetic.
How exactly do you think eBay, GMail, Facebook etc work ? They aren't relying on relational database joins.

If you want to write a truly scalable application you structure everything such that you do joins in your application layer.

And in the case of MongoDB you avoid joins since it is a document database. You embed data instead.
maybe they open-sourced that project in a rush, following Google's move?

PostgreSQL 9.4, 9.5 and 9.6 all introduce foundational changes to make eventually enable replication, but none of it is really exposed to the end user. They are working on it, but they are being very conservative.
That assumption is probably wrong.

Progressive income tax is no longer a very relevant factor for financing BI, or anything, in Finland. The main purpose of progressive tax in Finland is no longer about collecting revenue; it is about punishing those who are doing too well. That is very apparent from the public discourse.

So yes, Finland is likely somewhere on the right hand side of Laffer curve, particularly for high earners. (For low earners, many countries are; that's where BI system might help).

Your location on Laffer curve is of course hard to prove because the world is such a volatile place -- you cannot experiment with different tax rates and see what happens, because all the other factors impacting revenue are changing all the time so no trial will produce consistent results.

But Finnish income tax progression is just about the tightest in the world. The highest decile (anyone earning more than €50k a year, gross) pays about 43 % of income tax revenue [0]. However, that revenue pales beside revenue from consumption taxes (VAT, which is now 25%, and fuel taxes, and vehicle taxes).

The country's tax revenue is higher than ever, but it is not enough when government spending goes up even faster. Public deficit is about 3.3 % of GDP [1]. Whatever we do with taxes is not going to fix that hole. Some control on the money-flow out will be needed.

Finland also does not spend as much as you would expect on health, schools, military, infrastructure, public security and just about anything you normally think of as the government's role. There is one major thing where Finland spends comparatively more than other developed nations: transfers.

The motto of government seems to be "if it moves, tax it; when it eventually stops moving, subsidize it".

And many people who are about to make a lot of money (e.g. sell the company they've grown) will run to Sweden as a tax refugee. Think about that. Run to Sweden as a tax refugee.

For those interested in learning more about the erosion of the American heartland by the widespread use of prescription narcotics, particularly Oxycontin, I strongly recommend the book "Dreamland," a nonfiction text weaving together the narratives of the opiode boom in American medicine and the spread of Xalisco black tar herion cells throughout American cities that had seldom seen heroin: http://www.amazon.com/Dreamland-True-Americas-Opiate-Epidemi...

Very readable and educational. I couldn't put it down, and it tied together a lot of disparate threads that I have noticed over the past two decades but which I was unable to connect myself.

Beattyville is near/in the Red River Gorge area, depending on exactly where you draw the boundaries. I've spent a lot of time nearby on climbing trips, and yes, the area is astonishingly poor. Climbers rarely get that far south of Mountain Parkway, but the whole area is in pretty rough shape.

I think one of the things that's interesting to consider about this is that there is a large stream of people coming into the area, and it isn't just climbers. The area is full of recreation opportunities. What isn't clear is how to ensure that the money works its way out into the communities. In all of the trips I've made, I've spent money in just a handful of businesses: 3 campgrounds, 1 pizza place (which also happens to be a campground), 1 other restaurant, the much loved beer trailer, and the Shell station in Slade.

It's not clear that tourism is a viable replacement for resource extraction in an area where there are established communities. Tourism, and eco-tourism specifically, is something we see pitched as a way to save undeveloped land in the developing world, but based on what I see in the Red River Gorge area, it hasn't brought much prosperity to the region as a whole. Perhaps if there isn't an established economy and population based on resource extraction it can be made to work, but the hard reality seems to be that resource extraction employs a lot more people.

I love getting outside, and the Red River Gorge area is a beautiful place to do it. I want to see the country (and the world) make a shift towards renewable energy. I work to reduce the amount of waste I generate. But when you get right down to it, there are a lot of places where the economy is based on resource extraction, and I have a hard time envisioning what the people living in those places are going to do if the brighter, greener future comes to pass.

Beattyville may be struggling because the cost of coal mining locally can't compete with the cost of coal mining in Wyoming, but making a shift towards greener energy is going to put a lot more communities in a similar situation.
Military bootcamp is a very specific experience that is not meant to represent the general life of being in the military, but is meant to prepare you for the differences.

It is a very poor example for any functional workplace because it really isn't one, even for elsewhere in the military.

This site and accompanying book (http://beginners.re/Reverse_Engineering_for_Beginners-en.pdf) seem a nice effort. Briefly reading the book, it seems that you need to be an intermediate or advanced beginner, or know something about assembly beforehand.

Some terms (opcode, ISA) are not really explained (except in the glossary) before they are used and there are perhaps too much detail in the expense of the bigger picture.

Criticisms aside, the book and the challenges seem interesting and the efforts of the author must be appreciated!
If everyone in the country gets the income, children have a government ran bank account which the money pays into (possibly with interest?) until they reach 18, then they move the money into a normal account of their choosing.

That way they have a sizeable amount of cash to start their adult lives with (Uni, buying a house, starting a business, travelling the world, etc).
Simpl4 application development
I don't understand the recent backlash against NoSQL here.

First off, almost all of the complaints would have been valid years ago. Secondly, there is so much more choice out there today if mongodb wasn't the right answer for your project, and so many NoSQL stores have had time to mature and get polished APIs and docs.

We use various data stores for different purpose across microservices, mostly ES, couchbase, and datomic, and "use the right tool for the job" and "do one thing and do it well" feels like the right approach to take. For most applications, a SQL DB feels like a really big hammer that is put to a lot of things that don't look like nails.
It's not a negative. You have to demonstrate that there are as many women as men, you have to demonstrate that their grants are comparable to men's, and you have to demonstrate that most women speak highly of the selection process and how fair they found it.

Please catalogue your evidence with citations whenever possible, and make sure you use reputable sources. Please also disclose your precise statistical procedure and experimental setup so that we may assess the validity of your findings. The questionnaires that you have given to women to assess their satisfaction are also of interest, as changes in wording can elicit different responses. I hope your experiment procedure has controlled for that.

From litterally the first Google result:

"Long-term homelessness is a case of prolonged or repeated homelessness , which is often associated with poverty, in addition to severe psycho- social problems such as substance abuse and mental health problems , crime and violence . This group is estimated to comprise about 40-50 percent of all homeless people living alone."

While this seems nice I think that it does not exactly solve the problem. In most cases the person would still be required to follow the links on the card. For example the google maps preview is too small to figure anything out and you would still probably want to navigate to the location which is handled by the link perfectly well (albeit your presentation is nicer).

The tone of the article and 'Bart' in those conversations is also super condescending, to the point that I have to fight the urge to dismiss the product just because of that.

All in all I think the idea is very nice, however I'd rather wait for this to be integrated in the half a dozen chat apps I already use rather than add a new to the mix.

You understand correctly. My point was LMDB does not have checkpoints/compaction steps where it "silently" in the background copies data around.

When writes are large, this is an important point. LevelDB/RocksDB type stores work great for small values, but perform very poorly for large writes because they copy data around in compaction steps.

My company[0] works in the alcoholic beverage industry, and we've been watching the market for Asian and other native alcohols evolve.

I strongly believe that, more than sake and sochu (not soju), Chinese native spirits have a chance to take off globally, even if only because of demographic momentum - the problem is, those beverages don't taste great right now. Bartenders don't want to use it in cocktails, and western palates are prone to hedonic rejection (to use the technical term)[1].

What will happen next?

We've already seen the intrusion of traditional European and American Alcohols throughout Asia, and Baijiu will need to evolve to compete to be something that people want to drink. If there are any distillers reading this, reach out to me[2] - we have lots of experience optimizing flavor profile.

"Full stack engineer" is the new "Coding Ninja". It doesn't mean anything. It is most often used by non-technical founders who just want to hire one guy to do the work of 3.

As you said "How full is the stack?" Do you need to know how to setup and administer servers? Do you need DevOps skills? Do you need to be able to write backend/frontend code? Do you need to know how to design the UX as well?

I systematically ignore all positions for "full stack engineer" because in my mind it translates to "we don't know computers but we have a Great Idea(tm) and we just want some nerdy guy to handle all these computer thingies for us".

You can do as ddorian43 explained, by including a payload in your notification (using JSON or another format).

Or you can do as you suggested and query the database to fetch more information about the change.

Apart LISTEN/NOTIFY, which is a very powerful feature, PostgreSQL also provides "logical decoding" which solves problems similar to the ones solved by oplog tailing.
