Does this even make sense for mapping? If there is a single correct result then that is the only thing I want. If there are multiple possible results I want to see them all. This is a problem best suited to complete databases rather than probability based search algorithms. Adverts can only make this even worse than it is now.
Well, if it's not your thing, it's not your thing.

I read it when I was maybe 12 or 13 and could still really enjoy Monty Python. I read it a year or two ago and liked it a lot, but probably at least partially out of a sense of nostalgia.

But it's treatment of abstract ideas was, to me at the time, both entertaining and interesting. The book (among many others) setup a young "me" to appreciate some of the more serious philosophy that I read later in my early teens and 20s.

I guess it makes sense that it would appeal to a younger age group, as they tend to enjoy nonsensical things. In my 30's, I expect at least connected events in a story. The infinite probability engine makes it pretty convenient for the author not to be responsible for explaining anything.

Can someone elaborate how this differs from JPA/Hibernate style ORMs ?

The examples look suspiciously similar.

EDIT:
So i easily believe that it's nicer than CoreData, and I see that there is lots of potential to reduce an ORMs complexity by assuming a single Writer (Process of App), but the core Problem seems to be exactly the same. - And the solution looks also very familiar. -> Proxy Objects, Bytecode manipulation to intercept field access etc.

Does it handle the uncool cases of ORMs better?
- Unloading of state when thousands/millions of objects are touched once

- Collection fetching of large collections, iterators/chunks

- OrderedList O(N) index update for non-append inserts

- What happens to invalidated (deleted) objects? are collections updated live?

- Does is handle cascades explicitly/implicitly/not ?

I'm quite interested in this, since it may solve real pain problems.
I think conscientiousness also means taking care in getting things done. And if you do not persevere, you might be quite nice and polite to people, but you will continually let them down by giving up on things you should be doing. Try the first four sentences of this paper for a literary/philosophical presentation of the idea: http://www.jstor.org/stable/20010216?seq=1#page_scan_tab_con....
Seconded, I think it's massively overrated.

This seems to be a rule with absurd humour. The good bits are golden, the average is quite mediocre, and then in popular culture old the good bits are remembered so that the thing end up being overall overrated. Same with Monty Python

> Google has added pop-up permissions for particularly sensitive information, but this feature allows a malicious developer to run arbitrary app code on a device without prior user consent so we have to think about security differently.

While true in general for Android apps - Android apps can get i.e. a low privileged Linux shell and general internet access without explicit permissions - Google would be quite stupid indeed to allow this for instant apps as well. It would be too obvious a security hole.

It's also surprising to me that this hasn't been discussed at greater length, but I really don't expect instant apps to have the same freedoms regular apps have.
You're definitely right about the consolidation of influence... as someone who was a mod on bitcointalk.org and /r/bitcoin for years I hate it and it drove me to leave both of those behind.
Oracle sued over Google reimplementing code that was under the GPL (OpenJDK) under the Apache 2.0 license (Apache Harmony). Google recently switched to the GPL code because of it. In the case of ZoL, the code is derived from the original code and is under the original license. The idea that ZoL is somehow more at risk is pure FUD.

Not to mention that if this catches on, ever more parties (that you authenticate with) will be collecting these biometrics, which means there would be an ever greater chance of that data getting used to impersonate you.

To avoid this they would have to keep it on the device, in a secure enclave, in "hashed" form rather than the raw biometric, and only transmit the fact of authentication to Google, much as how Apple deals with Touch ID on the iPhone.

We all know Eric Schmidt's view on privacy:

"If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place. If you really need that kind of privacy, the reality is that search engines -- including Google -- do retain this information for some time and it's important, for example, that we are all subject in the United States to the Patriot Act and it is possible that all that information could be made available to the authorities."

I just read another article here in HN how someone learned how to program (JS/Ruby/HTML and web things..) and got a job in web development in 5 months. I guess it says all about the current quality of this subfield. Unfortunately for me, I've been "selling" myself as full-stack web developer, so I think I'm screwed..

I've been playing with electron (unfortunately based on Node), and the "npm install" installs a lot of 20 line node packages to do really small things. I think these guys took the unix philosophy of do one thing and do it right to such an unpractical extreme.. But I guess that you can't do any better when all your formal studies were 5 months in codeacademy and the like..
Did you actually do that stuff to get a job as a programmer? Getting that much education with the idea that it would make you more employable probably would be pretty misguided, but I doubt that was your motivation.

I don't think the investing comparison is apt either. When a taxi driver is paying attention to the stock market, it is getting a lot of attention from the public. This is a different phenomenon than companies offering high wages for (presumably) relatively basic skills.

Most of that is a strawman: wanting to grow the main chain is not the same as wanting every transaction in world on it.

> cause Bitcoin P2P nodes to become confined to datacenters.

Someone paid a Russian hacker to DDOS the Bitcoin Classic nodes, and what we learned from that was that the nodes in datacenters are the only ones which can't be trivially knocked off the internet. If you want resiliance, get nodes in as many datacenters of different sovereign jurisdictions as possible. The nodes running on home connections are an illusion.

(at least until home internet connections come with DDOS mitigation tools)

I have a FreeBSD server in my home office that has a big ZFS raidz volume that I use for shared file storage, and it's really, really awesome. The snapshots are especially great because they greatly reduce the fear of screwing something up. I once wanted to run a de-dupe script on several hundred gigabytes of photos, but I was afraid it would go awry, so I snapshotted first, knowing I could roll back in a few keystrokes. (Granted, this wouldn't help much if the script had caused some problem that wasn't immediately apparent. And yes, I have backups of all of that stuff elsewhere, but doing a restore from backup is a lot more work than rolling back a snapshot.)
If I have 5 apples, and I want 10 cents for each, and there are 10 people with 10 cents who want one, a rational actor will raise the price to maybe 20 cents. Now if I, Mr. SJW go and give everyone an additional 10 cents, I still have 5 apples, so the same thing will happen. You can't create value by just magicking money into existence, so what's going to happen is that all 10 people will have 5 cents taken from them, the taker will spend 4 cents on himself and buy 2 apples to give to two people and blame the rational actor for raising prices. A more realistic example is that one person has 80 cents, two others have 6 cents, then 2 for the next 3 and 1 for the next two and the last two people have zero. A socialist will come along and promise apples for all and take 90 percent of person 1 through three's income and spend 70 cents on himself and divide the remaining 12 cents on the lowest 4 and still not be able to buy apples because of the price, so they will confiscate the apples making the apple seller stop pick apples and then no one will be able to eat, like Venezuela, and then the apple producer/retailer will be jailed and killed because he is mean.

Realm is not a relational database, but an Object database.

This means that we totally avoid the impedance mismatch when you try to map Java references to tables. In Realm, relationships are first-class citizens.

This is also one of the reasons that we can provide lazy-loading for everything. With ORM's the API might look the same on the surface, but you usually run into problems when trying to access foreign collections.

API wise we try to stay as close to normal Java as possible, which is probably why it looks similar to what Hibernate offers.

Regarding specific features.

- Realm uses zero-copy as much as possible, so collections in Java point directly to the underlying data (i.e takes almost no space on the Java heap).

- Collections are live updated yes.

- Deleted objects could potentially be accessed after they are deleted, but there is API methods for avoiding that.

- Cascading deletes is not supported yet, but really high on our TODO and definitely a feature we want to add.
Well if it's some kind of crazy Mario related title, it's probably him.
1. "Realm is not an ORM, and is not built on top of SQLite. Instead we’ve built a full database for mobile app developers, one that uses native objects that are dynamically mapped to a full, custom database engine (not just a key-value store)."

=> Why not use the terms "object database" or "OODBMS", then ?

2. "Realm supports Java, Objective-C, React Native, Swift and Xamarin."

=> "React Native" is not a language, why not just state that you support "JavaScript" ?

3. What about Python ?

Genetics and psychological traits are not competing explanations of behavior or success. The reason is that genetics matter by causing people to have certain psychological traits[0] that cause them to behave in certain ways!

To put the point more concretely, it's as if you asked which is more important for basketball success: genetics or height.

[0] As well as some non-psychological traits. It seems to be helpful to be attractive, tall, etc. Precisely, psychological traits are a subset of the ways that genetics matter. But in either case, the two explanations are not competing.
