You disable stuff that slows down processing and then import the data using the SQL engine's own LOAD DATA commands. Not that slow either.

Really though, you first have to ensure your documents all match a standard, since a lot of people just expect csv, tsv and other documents to all be the same, and they are not. So you have to do extra work anyway. Might as well use SQL too.
Thanks. Yep, I only check a hash of an email address and associate what information was leaked in the data set.

yes, in this case i am language warring for no reason. i'm an unapologetic go devotee but i like rust just the same. i wish people would just get on with things and write software, rather than comment on minutiae on message boards.
Relaxation and socializing are important for adolescents (and people in general). Adolescents (and people in general) develop negative associations with things they are forced to do.

The incredibly difficult trick is to find the right balance between relaxing and working, and to encourage an interest in valuable educational activities without forcing it.
Only by not using subordinate clauses did you just avoid saying "plan 9" and "commercial" in the same sentence! Where is Plan 9 deployed? Who are the customers?

Plan 9 is a strawman representative of "commercial Unix".

> Combine a few GNU core utils, and you have more code than the whole plan 9 kernel.

When you actually sit down and think of the cases that can occur, that translates into code. Handle this, handle that, and the KLOC's just pile up.

Speaking of kernel size, what makes a kernel code base big? Why, device drivers for lots of hardware.
I'm honestly skeptical that Rust is all that appealing for this type of work. It just doesn't seem like the main concerns like performance and type safety are #1 the top priority in this space and #2 this offering is differentiated enough from what you already get from Java today.

Honesly, many modeling problems are clunky and inefficient at scale - however that's ok. When you need to scale bad enough, you already have a significant set of library support in Java to support this.

I'm failing to see an answer to the one question I have, "why rust?"

I'm curious... in elementary/middle school, what would the consequences be to instruct your kid to not do homework? Is homework a big enough part of their grade to prevent them from passing?
"This repository experiences a huge volume of fetches (multiple fetches per second on average). We understand that part of the CocoaPods workflow is that its end users (i.e., not just the people contributing to CocoaPods/Specs) fetch regularly from GitHub"

Yes - and I think you hit on why people who don't do Philosophy fail to understand it. They see discussions about Metaphysics and think that's the point, whereas the point is how you justify positions, what's a good argument, what's bad. All of Metaphysics is useless, for example, but knowing WHY it's useless is invaluable =)

Thanks for the reminder to keep the discussion objective and factual!
> It's really obvious that the initial reply didn't really understand what was going on, and what was being explained.

If you are in such a position, then it seems like the best course action would be to ask questions rather than list off reasons that you don't want to deal with it.
The picture I had in mind was more like: Welcome to Earth. [video of the planet in space] You are a human; [video of the children in the class blended in with some graphics of the human body of different races] – a member of Homo Sapiens, the only species on this world to have built civilization. This is the only planet known to have life, and we share it with many creatures. [being shown other animals including our interactions with them]

You are in the United States of America. ...for example, and so on, until moving to: This is our technology. [video showing everything from phones and server farms to planes and space stations]

Then of course gradually explaining how everything works, according to their age, and of course not limiting it to specific products or services, but yes, definitely teaching them to how to look up more information through the internet. Teaching them to teach themselves; how to sift for the factual information from among all the noise.
OK, you fail to grasp the mechanics here, I think. The NCSA allows you to incorporate NCSA code into your work, which you can then release under GPL if you so choose. What is your beef with that?

Why are these any less beneficial than homework that's been demonstrated to have no benefit to the child? Until high school, there's literally no reason for the kid to be practicing math after school.

Without the context of what the community was like, I can see how some people might feel this way. I know nothing other than what I read in the article, but I think there is a lot of details left out about the people, activities, and ideology behind the project. It's not really any more lame than people playing D&D, but I can see how the less whimsical people of the world would call people roleplaying as elves and orcs to be lame.

You have to admit, though, that being handed a mysterious invitation by someone who refuses to tell you more is the closest thing you'll ever have in real life to getting your acceptance letter to Hogwarts. Even capturing a small amount of that magic and excitement is pretty cool, if you ask me.

Moving reduce into functools was more than justified: almost nobody liked it, most people disliked it and if you really want to use if for whatever reason an import is hardly difficult. The decision was made because of the context, not in disregard to it.

I agree with Rob's "UTF-8 everywhere". I took this approach in the TXR language. Its I/O streams output and input UTF-8, and only that. Period. (There is no virtual switch for alternative encodings.) Internally, everything is a wide character code point. I do not call the "fuck my C program function" known as setlocale, and no behavior related to character handling or localization is influenced by magic environment strings.

LANG and LC_ALL are the work of ISO C and POSIX; they are not the fault of Linux. Linux has these in the name of compliance; they were foisted upon the free word, essentially.
It got me on a daily Pantoprazole regime though, since the long periods without food have skyrocketed my gastritis.

I highly recommend you look into Pepcid Complete. I took Prilosec for years and it has some interesting side effects that even the experts don't know what they mean: it turns the lining of your stomach from smooth to all bumpy. I know I'm describing it badly, but when I had an endoscopy before and after being on Prilosec I noticed it in the pictures my Dr. showed me. When I asked him he said "no one knows what effect those will have on you long term." And this was from the premier Gastroenterologist in my area.

I immediately looked for an alternative.

The thing about Pepsid Complete (available at Costco for ~$20 for 100) is it has a weaker proton pump inhibitor and an antacid. I only take them when I need them and I take them far less than I did Prilosec.

Drug side effects are the dirty secret of the pharma industry. The FDA is just too weak to demand better and longer term studies on drugs.

There is a problem. (job interview are selecting incompetent people)

Ho, but there is a solution to walk around the problem of job interviews being unable to select good developers: so let's avoid investing in being a good developer and fix the problem at hand and just be good at interviews.

Problem solved.

Brilliant!

Are not interviews kind of de facto selecting scammers by giving them an unfair advantage, then?

Is it not causing a problem of credibility of the profession, hence the of the value of our earnings?

Growth is shrinking, recession is coming. Will they keep people whose values are uncertain when time will come to get rid of the fat?
Thanks, this is amazing.
It's funny how Scientists like to quote Popper but rail against their idea of what "Philosophy" is, never quite putting 2 and 2 together and realising that Popper was a Philosopher.
Bad grades, of course.
> That kind of wealth is available to many people, but I think that most people can't see it, unfortunately.

I don't much like beer. Something about the taste, maybe the hops, I dunno. Every time I tell someone I don't like beer, they say "Oh, you just haven't had _good_ beer! You should try this one!" And I try it, and I don't like it. Some folks can acquire a taste for beer, given enough exposure. I've given it plenty of exposure, and it just doesn't work for me.

I suspect that the ability to "see" the kind of wealth you're talking about, to be happy and fulfilled on a razor-edge budget, is like a taste for beer. Some people have it built-in, some people can acquire it, some people will never have it; they just aren't wired that way. It's really cool that you were able to be happy under those circumstances. But it's dangerous to assume (with just about anything) that everyone else could learn to be like you, if they only wanted it enough.
The first time I saw a game of MTG I was instantly hooked. 20 years ago on my way to class I saw some guys playing the game and I stood there watching for a while. I was invited to play and that was it. Played for a few hours, skipped class, walked away with a deck, skipped many, many more classes thereon.

Nothing had ever wrapped me in such a way, a delicious combination of fantasy, role playing, strategy, wits and beautiful art.

I played the game for many years and even now when I seldom run into my collection (now forgotten in a closet) I remember that first feeling and get a sudden urge to go build a deck. Yet the magic faded until it died, it did when I started to see the business behind it, the artificial scarcity, the product cycle, the content adjustments to target new generations of players, the manipulation, the rules aimed to sell more. The business killed the feeling.

I suppose the same thing happened to many Latitude members: they were exposed to a crude reality check (pay to play) which killed the fantasy.

It is a big question for all startups: how to not kill that initial true value once you need to monetize.

some other views:

""China will face a more challenging situation in trade this year than 2015. Both imports and exports in February fell more than our expectations."

""China's exports declined the most since May 2009, suggesting that the overly strong CNY exchange rate has become an obstacle for the external sector"

""February's trade data is really poor and that will exert depreciation pressure on the yuan."

As a former elementary student, I hated homework more than anyone, but how could you deny the value of repetitive practice for things like writing with a pencil and doing arithmetic? Although those things could be done in class instead. Is that the point?
I agree. I have tried. I've bent the ear of many parents. Most just don't care. They moved to this school district because of the good schools, which in their eyes means lots of homework.
I agree that it's important for a child to learn that practice improves skill. However, forcing them to learn something that they loathe can be harmful, also. Some kids just don't like music or instruments; I sure didn't. So, let them discover something that they enjoy before we force them into practicing.
Yeah I get really frustrated with this. It is one of the biggest struggles I have with trying to figure out how to disagree forcefully, because I strongly disagree with this sort of intransigence, without giving offense, because many of those who hold these views are loved ones.

I feel like there is some deeper cultural problem afoot. Why don't educators get the benefit of the doubt that other professions are given? I never hear people decry the way in which their doctors are going about their doctoring!

They are only curious about things that provide immediate gratification. i.e. they won't spend the effort to learn trigonometry to quantify the length of a shadow they see from a flagpole. Once they learn the general intuition behind the angle of the sun and the shadow, they will lose interest and move on.

>What they often aren’t motivated to do is memorize lists of irrelevant-seeming facts

This is basically the issue. They don't understand that many things are important to learn to build the necessary base to move beyond a superficial understanding of the physical world.
Lee Sedol vs. Alpha Go Live Stream
I am a huge cynic and probably one of the first people to agree with a post like yours, but I really have to disagree. I saw very little power dynamic going on from what I read. There was a level of mysteriousness in that some people knew a lot more than others, but seemingly a large part of this project was experiencing the discovery and exploration of the project. Hence the reason when the author asked a ton of questions, the guy replied "I could tell you, but do you really want to know?".

It was seemingly a large art project. Some people were "in the know" because projects like this require the full time work of several people. You exclude as many people as possible because it ruins the illusion that people enjoy. Your post may as well criticize Disney World for being a power fantasy because they don't allow park visitors behind the scenes.
HN LOVES the idea of bad things happening.

As someone who's clients are all Chinese - there is not a better time to be in the Chinese market.

China is quickly translating into a service powerhouse, I wouldn't be surprised if china will stop needing wallstreet to finance itself within the next 5 years.

If you are in the SaaS business - china is where you need to be to make bank. Chinese millennials are rich, optimistic and are amazingly good adopters of technology.

The chinese software market is also extremely young - unlike the saturated western ones. So even building simple service-automation/web-service will make you millions.

Its almost laughable to me these days that an amazing company like netflix can only charge 5 dollars in america while in china people are spending insane amount of money online for really simple services.

Bingo. I used to have a job he payday loan industry in the US. The truest poor would be terrible clients because they'll never pay you back. And since you only lent $300 you'd lose more than that trying to collect with a lawyer (ignoring the fact they can't pay in the first place).

People who can manage their money up have a sudden need aren't good either. They'll take the loan, pay it back, and that's it. You made $60 and nothing else.

The customers they want are on the edge. They have enough money to be able to 'rollover' the loan (extend another 2 weeks for a fee) but not actually pay it off. Over time the fees add up and they're paying you more, but you don't want them to totally default. At $60 + fees every two weeks it doesn't take long to make back the original $300 and then you're printing money.

Yes these can be people right on the edge of total poverty. It can be people who have enough money but are irresponsible and use payday loans to fill gaps but aren't in serious trouble. Sometimes it's people who make a ton of money but are up to their eyeballs in debt and can't fill the credit cards up kore.

This is worth pointing out - education is human capital, an intangible form of wealth.
Not too long ago I pointed out an increase in anti-China propaganda. Seems this definitely is the case.

A 25% drop from a 50% increase the year before (due to what is probably one of, if not the biggest holidays in the world) is still an increase from 2 years prior. Anyhow, this is just funny timing things.

If you set the chart to 10 years, you'll notice it's more or less in line with the average. If there is a slowdown (hard to tell), it's fairly mild, and would be more or less consistent with worldwide demand. It's just very dramatic for one month because of the holiday.

In a year, I have no doubt that, contrary to what some observers are claiming, China will be alive and well.
Don't take the downvotes personally, it's just uninteresting content getting moderated.
I've had this exact same thought process, esp with regards to going to medical school if I were to do it over. Also, while what we know about the body changes and grows at least the technology developed is new rather than having to learn a new framework that does the same stuff as an older one just because that's what the cool kids are doing these days. That and I've never heard anyone complaining about there being too many doctors/lawyers coming to the city and "ruining" the culture.
This is very specifically the case in Silicon Valley, the insular center of the world, and not the case elsewhere. Most companies I've interviewed at couldn't care less about where I went to school as long as I could build their stuff.
Common Core itself is a scapegoat for a lot of those efforts. People have been misled by politicized media and social media memes into thinking that it's far more rigid and detailed than it really is.

Gotta go with 4-1 Lee.
I'm not an educator or an expert in any way, but I've found many of the pro- Common Core (math, at least) arguments made by Keith Devlin[0] to be very compelling. So far, I can't figure out what the hubbub over Common Core is about, besides the usual "that's not how I learned it" nonsense. Alternative resources welcome!

I'm surprised an organisation as large as Facebook don't have their own CA, and just don't issue the semi-secret stuff off the record.
Oh, I'd never disqualify an interviewee purely for not knowing this stuff, but it is useful to know.

Also, I care far less about whether they can solve some problem on paper about asymptotic complexity than if they have some sense of what it means. Someone with little formal training who discovered the classic python "Add to the end of string" algorithm is N^2 and figured out a working knowledge of N^2 vs. N is better than someone who memorized a bunch of math but can't apply it because it went in the "math box"[1]

Pure environmental factors for poverty won't necessarily be temporary, since land might just be infertile for thousands of years.

I think that poverty is within human control in the same way that cancer is. Cancer has always been around, and nobody has ever been able to solve it. While most can agree that we have more control over cancer now, sometimes we take a backwards step and introduce something that encourages it.

I'd argue that cancer, like poverty, is a circumstance we find ourselves in. Something that has been there forever, and which we are trying to get under control. And like cancer, the circumstances of poverty inordinately impact people from different backgrounds, even though with a little help from the experts, it could be better. But I'd argue that we don't actively permit cancer to exist like we don't actively permit poverty.
