Historically, that was true, but recent versions also allow ad-hoc queries. That being said, VoltDB is no longer the state of the art in serializable OLTP performance (though maybe it is in the commercial space, but I think HyPer for example outperforms it on a lot of benchmarks).
If people don't want to get a PhD, and we don't have much need for people with PhDs, then reducing the number of people who get a PhD sounds like mission accomplished.

The term 'by definition' means that all of the mentioned group have the particular characteristic, it absolutely is saying "necessarily everyone". If you don't mean to strictly require that condition then use different terminology.

I don't agree that it's easier to store them in filesystem. You'll have to deal with a lot of potential problems: consistency, backup, transactions, replication, corruption. Database solves those problems automatically and as long as you can store everything there, you better do that. Good databases are not that bad at storing blobs.

Well, I do think that I suffer from a bit of British-envy...years of Monty Python/Peep Show/Ricky Gervais/Malcolm Tucker have conditioned me to think that the British are the superior culture when it comes to wit.

I honestly can't think of many times when a UK headline has annoyed me in the way the Wapo does. Probably the worst offender is the Daily Mail, but they're merely artless in how they try to cram the entire article into a headline. Sample from today: "Moment of revenge: Husband is caught on surveillance footage brutally beating his wife's would-be rapist to death with a tire iron as he tried to flee NY apartment while still pulling up his pants"

But the Wapo goes beyond artless, and right into the mindset of "our readers must be fucking dumb to not be clicking on our stories in droves. Let's explain to them why they should be clicking on our stories!"

- "Trump announced his gifts to veterans. Here’s what we learned."

- "Cancer deaths rose during the recession. But why?"

- "The world is about to install 700 million air conditioners. Here’s what that means for the climate"

- "This might be the darkest theory yet about why Donald Trump keeps winning"

The one advantage of newspaper print is that, compared to webserver space, it's very finite, which means that if a story was worthy enough to have hundreds of barrels of ink tapped to make it physical, then it was a story implicitly worth the reader's time. I guess now that you can just slap anything onto a website that headlines need to be written ("X and Y happened yesterday. Here's why it's important") as if readers now automatically assume that all webstories are without value, and thus need to be constantly reminded that some stories are worth clicking through.

original post: Thanks for the link. One piece of feedback:

I recommend changing the background -- the current one is extremely distracting and makes it unpleasant to try to read the listings.
I kinda does answer the question. If there isn't any "wilderness" to live in, because it's all owned by people, then the question is pointless.

I live in Australia, where we actually do face this question. There are Aboriginal people living on their ancestral lands in the outback. They have dramatically shorter lifespans and worse health conditions. There are all sorts of reasons for this, not least that colonialist administrations have messed with their ability to live on their land. But the government now faces a choice:

- do we let them live out in the bush on their ancestral lands, where they have these measurably worse lives by all the standards we use to measure such things, or
- do we remove them from their lands and try to improve their life choices so they live better (in all the standards we measure such things).

This question basically comes down to: if a person wants to live free in the wilderness, but the cost of that freedom is a dramatic reduction in their health, life expectancy, education, and quality of life, should we let them?

We haven't really worked out an answer yet, but it is increasingly looking like the right one is actually "no".

So, to answer your question "if a person wants to live free in the wilderness, are they free?", the answer that we're discovering is: "maybe, it depends on whether they can support themselves and their children to an acceptable standard doing that, and there needs to be government inspectors who decide whether that's the case"

Certainly, so long as your database speaks JSON fluently you can even have your cake and eat (some) of it too. PostgreSQL has good JSON support. Microsoft's SQL Server is "working on it". Then there are loads of JSON friendly document databases out there such as Couch{DB, base}, Cloudant, Mongo, Redis, etc and so forth.
Downvoted for the lack of substantiation to the pessimism, I believe.
Hahahaha! This is hilarious!

Wait, what? He's serious? Naw, can't be.

"You needn’t look further than how many books and websites exist on Git to realize that you are looking at something deeply mucked up. Back in ye days O Subversionne, we just had the Red Book, and it was good, and the people were happy.11 Sure, there were other tutorials that covered some esoteric things that you never needed to do,12 but those were few and far between. The story with CVS was largely the same."

Things like branching and merging. Which you never needed to do because you couldn't, unless you have a giant, throbbing Thalosian head. (It's not like I was the branch-n-merge guy at the last two jobs...)

Let's see if I can follow the logic: Git is popular. Therefore, lots of books. Therefore difficult to use. Therefore bad.

Then there's the part about centralized systems being ok because bandwidth is cheap and easily available, but distributed systems are bad because they use too much space.

One leg is now noticeably longer; please pull on the other for a while, dude.

Speaking of schlepping patches around, I don't suppose the author has ever been told, "Your stuff is good; can you update it for the current head?" and been unable to find a version where the patch applies cleanly? Fun, fun, funfunfun.
I'm not able to toss my hat in the ring for this job, but I wanted to say it's refreshing to see the hiring process outlined so clearly. Thanks.

I'd just put "N/A" or "Student". I'll check about this internally too. Thanks for the heads up.
I think the only upper/lower case issue I have is with K--I think the other letters are fine.

About the colon: In many cases in typesetting, shifting the colon to the left looks better, but not always. In TeX, there's ':' for ordinary colon and \colon for the left-shifted colon. Anyway, I guess it isn't a totally absurd choice if they're really trying to target a use other than code.

I agree about $/S.

I'm not sure what you're seeing with the vertical alignment of [], they look fine to me.

More criticisms as a code font:

At the size I'd be using for code, ` is nearly indistinguishable from '.

At the size I'd be using for code, @ is just an odd circle-ish glyph (though I love it at larger sizes). And at small sizes it can be hard or impossible to distinguish it from © (I don't think you have ©, I think it's falling back to a different font).
> It is completely pointless to talk about "detect cancer earlier AND CHANGE NOTHING ELSE".

No it isn't. I'm trying to ram home the statistical point with a counter-factual. I have to say this extreme because some people Just Don't Get It and keep on trying to talk about something else.

A system that ONLY detects cancers earlier will show better cancer survival numbers even if actual outcomes don't change at all. No, seriously.

Let's lay out an actual example.

Alice, Bob, Charlie, and David exist. Charlie has a minor cancer he won't die if. David has a major cancer he will die of.

In Country B, since detection is heavily correlated with the seriousness of cancer, they detect David has cancer, and David dies. Cancer survival rate = 0 of 1, or 0%.

In Country A, they detect Charlie and David have cancer. David dies, Charlie doesn't. Cancer survival rate = 1 of 2, of 50%.

> If you don't detect cancers, that will not stop people from dying to cancer.

No one said this.

> But early cancer detection is one of the undoubtedly good things.

This is wrong. I know your gut tells you this is true. Your gut is wrong.

Increased detection sometimes helps and sometimes hurts. There are a lot of people, like Charlie in the above example, who would never die of cancer, but because of increased detection they now undergo risky cancer treatment. All treatment involves risk, and for cancer treatment this is particularly true. Again, look up the history of radical chemotherapy. The people who underwent it had worse outcomes than people who had nothing at all done to them.

Researchers usually find that people in palliative care do better than people in active treatment. This isn't enough to say that no treatment is always better, but it is enough to say that some treatment is often worse.

Because so many people have your gut reaction, though, "early detection" is a popular way of throwing money at the problem in America.

> Infant mortality rate in the USA was lower than in my country in 1950; now it is more than double. Cuba is better than United States, if we can trust the statistics.

Here's good questions to ask yourself when looking at infant mortality.

1. What's the difference between a miscarriage, a stillbirth, and a dead newborn? Particularly, what does it mean when this answer changes between countries, and even within countries?

2. How do the numbers change if you compare white Americans to white Canadians and black Americans to black Canadians?
I agree, I'm doing it myself.

But that still doesn't mean it's going to be seen by more than either bots or that 1%.

I'm being down voted for pointing out the actual number of users that will care about that effort directly.

I don't know about Zambia, but in Argentina most people don't care too much about campaign contributions.

Correct. Princeton also has a small student body, it probably outperforms on a graduate per capita basis.
There are a few cases where it makes sense to store files in the database, but the constraints are fairly specific. The one time I did it to god effect was when all the files were fairly small (<40k), and one of the defining features of the system needed to be it's resilience. We were able to fold the file storage into the normal master/slave replication setup we were doing, which was a big reduction in complexity, compared to a separate replicating file store.
You have to look at in context; Rails got started in ~2006, long before you could do everything in JS, and its purpose was to enable you to build a web app from top to bottom.

At a glance, I don't think you can really claim that the JS frontend world is mature or stable, so in the meantime muddling-along seems equally valid.
