I thought the restaurants example demonstrating that PE firms could have a positive impact on a business was actually a good counterpoint to specific points where the article was stating or implying that PE was bad (e.g. that 911 results could be slow and you'd be stuck with a bill, paramedic response times got worse under PE)

Your point about restaurant businesses being a different category seems to be engaging only on the point of PE owned businesses are ubiquitous not on sub-text that PE turnarouds could be bad.
Not ideal but that's a lot less intrusive.

You can't configure MySQL to not do "any" of that. You can certainly make it better, but there simply aren't options to configure away all of the boneheadedness.

There are also tons of hidden gotchas that exist in, for example, the query planner. It can be extremely fickle and suddenly switch from a performant query plan to a terrible one that creates unindexed temporary tables and sorts them or joins against them. Or just ignores relevant indexes in the tables whatsoever.

Everything hums along fine until a random INSERT or UPDATE causes the query plan to change, bringing down your entire site. To be fair, such a problem can happen in any DBMS but I've never experienced it with Postgres to the extent that I have with MySQL.

Yeah, except IntelliJ Idea is a refined product that does that and 100 other things.

I don't know what IntelliJ has inside of it, but I know Eclipse is based on EJC, the Eclipse Java Compiler, which can turn Java code into a Java abstract source tree, and then turn that either back to Java code or to byte code.

It's not too different from the read function in LISP but it is a bit more complex...
^ This.

It's not so much about reducing the boilerplate you have to manually enter. While that's nice, the real value of a good IDE is in its refactoring tools, taking trivial but tedious tasks like class, function, or variable renaming and automating them so that they can happen both instantly and error-free.

And variable renaming's the simplest refactor that a tool like IntelliJ or Resharper can perform.
Do you happen to have a link to the bug report for the first issue you described? I'm wondering whether I saw a similar thing in a benchmark I tested.
As a Rails dude...is there any reason for me to learn Django at all? Everything I've heard about it is that it provides a lot of sane defaults (like Rails) but has much less "magic" than Rails is typically thought to have.

Not a bad objection then. Of course it depends on probabilities and assumptions we have no real way of assessing.
Absolutely - going from Postgres to MySQL is only trading one set of problems for another. It's a longer runway, but not infinite.

Their exact use-case is what things like Cassandra were built for - insanely high writes / updates. They're also built to split your load across N systems, as long as you're still using a monolithic database (even with read replicas) you physically can't get the same performance that you could with one of the NOSQL distributed systems. YMMV for specific performance, I've seen a huge MySQL burn through queries like butter and a Cassandra cluster crawl on a tiny data set.

The second part of your question is the real crux of the problem - "heavily indexed and used heavily in joins". Neither of those (RDBMS or NOSQL) work well in either scenario. This article indicates why PG isn't great, the Uber article indicates some of the (minor) downsides of MySQL. They're already using Schemaless to bend their RDBMS into a fancy key-value store, so they're halfway to using a real one with their home-built indexes already. For NOSQL you generally don't get joins, unless you write them yourself. You also end up with manual "write amplification" since you denormalize, write the data 10 times to index it 10 different ways. You can be smart about it so it's not exactly 10x, but you'll end up with more than your original problematic throughput, albeit spread across more systems.
While this is biased towards the NYT narrative (the last third of the article is their opinion on the situation), the key is to look up what the legal definition of Equity[0]. Start your own private equity firm. Or go one step further: incorporate in Delaware, Indiana, or Nevada (or Better yet, Bermuda, Nevis, or Antigua), and start generating some real income in the game.

Looks like channels was not included in 1.10. Is there still a plan to package it with Django or is it better served to be a stand alone app for now?

According to channels' documentation:

I imagine this was a snarky comment about services like T-mobile's binge. They limit video 720p or 480i at a moderate bitrate for mobile. Its supposed to be opt-in but I wouldn't be surprised if many mobile providers peppered the video stream with errors to knock down costly high-bitrate 1080p streams.
I had this problem a couple of days ago. I wanted to use Django' last_modified decorator like this:

from django.utils.decorators import method_decorator
from django.views.decorators.http import last_modified
from rest_framework import viewsets

class SomeClassBasedView(viewsets.ViewSet):
def last_modified_time(self, request):
return cache.get_or_set('key', some_date)

@method_decorator(last_modified(last_modified_time))
def get_some_object(self):
# expensive DB operation

Of course it blew up, even when I decorated the last_modified_time with @staticmethod or @classmethod so I had two choices

1. The misleading simple function definition inside the class body, like:

class SomeClassBasedView(viewsets.ViewSet):
def last_modified_time(request):
return cache.get_or_set('key', some_date)

@method_decorator(last_modified(last_modified_time))
def get_some_object(self):
# expensive DB operation

The biggest problem with this that it can be confusing for our junior developers (might be even strange for seasoned Pythonistas).
Also an IDE (e.g. PyCharm) marks the request argument with a different color making it even more confusing.

2. Define the function outside of the class body (where it doesn't belong...):

def last_modified_time(request):
return cache.get_or_set('key', some_date)

class SomeClassBasedView(viewsets.ViewSet):

@method_decorator(last_modified(last_modified_time))
def get_some_object(self):
# expensive DB operation

> Second, consider the possibility that abiogenesis is just stupendously rare

I think a better way to phrase this is that abiogenesis is stupendously picky, but also incredibly eager. My understanding is that current life developed about as quickly as it possibly could have, at least on a geological scale. It's possible that worlds we're finding that look "ideal for life" from the perspective of what we can detect from this distance may be missing something vital that Earth had.

>However, conflating private equity with wall st., and making a distinction between how firms under private equity ownership behave vs. public equity or closely held (no financial sponsor) seems pointless other than to further some other purpose (which i won't speculate about).

Agreed, and I say this as someone who's generally a fan of the New York Times' journalism. Here they simply seem to be trotting out the "look, it's Wall Street!" trope without offering deeper analysis (at least in this piece). Which is a shame because there are industries where private equity has a laudable record and others where the record is rather checkered.

And this notion, of course, oversimplifies "private equity" into one monolithic actor. As though a competent private equity firm which seeks to maximize value through improving quality wouldn't operate a company differently from one which seeks to extract value solely through levered financial engineering.

The scrolling art is nice though.

Is our end-goal here to make sex offenders' lives so miserable that they'll commit suicide? Because honestly, that's where these laws are going. They've already made it nearly impossible for these people to hold a job, to have any kind of social life, and to restrict their access to social media.[0] The direction seems to be going into the direction of stopping them from having any kind of online presence, as well.

In which case, if we as a collective society have decided that these people are unworthy of having a livelihood, any kind of social connection, or indeed any kind of recreational activity, based on the belief that one of these might aid in the prevention of further sex crimes, why don't we go ahead and kill them? It would be far more humane than what we're doing now.

I think this depends on the phrase "forced open". If there are pry marks on them, then yes someone was down there. But the other possibility is that the torque of the wreck popped the hatches open and the missiles were ejected to land somewhere on the seabed. Or they fell out, much like how the turrets of the Bismarck were lost when it turned upside-down during it's sinking.
To quote Channel's author, Andrew Godwin: "I will take the path-most-trodden for me and large Django features, which is to run it as an external package, compatible with 1.8 through 1.10 (which the package already is), and let it mature and develop outside of core, before coming round to look again at inclusion for 1.11 or 2.0."

This piece reads more like it's trying to rekindle hatred towards Wall Street than educating people what private equity is and how it works. If it's supposed to be investigative journalism then it certainly failed. Maybe try starting with improving accuracy of the terms by not using "private equity" and "Wall Street" interchangeably?

You're off on a few details, but mostly on the right track.

You need to do a bit light reading: Start with legal-dictionary's definition of Equity[0] and Authority[1], and Agency[2]. That gets you the answer on where the authority to issue certificates of any sort comes from. Then apply those entire pages to private ownership. Documents for private corporations are drafted in private, using private authorities, unlike public corporations registered with a state. they can issue shares privately, as well, provided they have an underwriter.

Property ownership (or rather, those entities that own the property) is King in this new economy. Many (All?) YCombinator companies use Delaware as their authority.

(We could apply all of the above to how Corporations are now Persons, but that's a rabbit-hole).

Bottom Line: everyone should incorporate. become a private equity firm.
