The benefit: typically near infinite scalability with little loss of performance. It's super fast even when there's a lot of it.

The cost: transactions, relations. These are actually incredibly valuable things to have.

If you're storing billions and trillions of records that don't need relations, NoSQL is great. You'll keep your fast lookups and saves no matter how big things get.

This can matter a lot more if you're a start up with the goal of having trillions+ records some day. Your SQLServer will eventually not be able to scale any higher, and then what? Moving to Nonrelational from relational is so painful.

What makes it a net gain now when it was not previously? (I'm not super informed about Brexit details)
Thank you. Links are fixed.
I agree with you in general. However, I contend that people are lazy. Part of the reason why I wrote Gorgonia was because I spent waay too long trying to deploy theano on the cloud (this was circa 2 years ago).

Also, thanks for informing me about MXNet. I've never seen that before. Kinda cool.
It can also be worth it, in very specific limited circumstances, when you're emulating constructs not present in the target language.

Emulating a multi-level break statement and error handlers come to mind as examples.

I would suggest to try using both SQL and NoSQL for some hobbies project. From there you should be able to experience the difference between these db. In a fairly complex application, you will see SQL, NoSQL and Redis, all exist for different purpose.
When you view any page's history, all you get is a list of pseudonyms and IP addresses. Sure, you can probably get the country of origin and sometimes maybe even the employer from the latter, but that's basically it. I don't think that's very much, given that nobody on Wikipedia is required to disclose who they are in real life (there's even a policy specifically against posting such information about others[1]). Well, okay, in theory users with a financial conflict of interest in a topic are required to disclose it, but in practice PR agencies can often get away doing anything to articles about their clients.

And openness in itself doesn't guarantee reliability anyway. OpenSSL being open-source didn't prevent Heartbleed from happening. The so-called "Linus's law" is often a mere vacuous truth; there's rarely enough eyeballs to make even the most obvious bugs shallow. And eyeballs themselves don't help if they keep looking in the wrong places.

The problem with Wikipedia isn't merely that it may be sometimes inaccurate. It is that its sources of inaccuracies are much more numerous, most rather predictable, and yet next to nothing is done to address that. A book written by a single author may also be inaccurate; but I'd be more inclined to believe a book written by someone 0) whose good reputation is at stake and who therefore has an disincentive to actively misinform (sometimes at least), and 1) who has an editor above them watching out for inconsistencies; rather than a bunch of pseudonyms and numbers that can immediately publish anything they think up with basically no oversight. Trustworthiness is a spectrum, and Wikipedia does significantly worse on it than many other sources. Review processes on Wikipedia are overworked and even those focus mostly on style rather than substance. There are some relatively sensible policies enacted, but they are quite vague (and therefore bendable to ever-changing whims of particular users) and selectively enforced. And don't get me started with the dispute resolution processes...

There is no systematic, consistently applied process to ensure Wikipedia's accuracy. It is addressed just like the gun problem is in the US; it proceeds from one outrageous incident to another[2], with everyone barely applying ad-hoc measures after the fact, while the people who do have the power to make a real difference are either in complete denial that this is a problem at all or are too attached to the idea that the foundational laws can never ever be wrong to actually enact meaningful reforms.

Just read through most of the comments on here before posting something... to find that you've covered it brilliantly. Textbook stuff, IMO (as someone who teaches music technology and covers a lot of this when we get to notation).

I've always found the best way to explain why keys end up with the sharps/flats they do in the order they do is to start from C, and establish the TTSTTTS construction, and then "arbitrarily" try it in a new key (G), and show that the seventh note needs to move up to retain the TTSTTTS pattern, and so on - same for flats, starting 'arbitrarily' with F, and showing that the 4th note needs to be flattened, and then in both cases getting the students to think about what's just happened (going up 5 scale steps (to G in the first case), sharpen the 7th of the new scale, or going down 4 scale steps (to F initially), flatten the 4th of the new scale), and using that algorithm to build the other keys. Most of the kids I know have almost no music theory when they come to me, and even those that are studying A level music often take the order of flats or sharps as "just something you accept" - it's interesting watching them switch onto how to build it themselves, and get some understanding of it as a result.

Same goes for minor keys and indeed modes - the author of the article totally misses the point about the context of the notes being what's important - "home" notes as you say, and again, once demonstrated in the right way, it's interesting to see people switch onto that and become able to use it.
It makes sense from a simple supply/demand point of view. You only pay what you have to. Why pay the candidate more just because you saved some money elsewhere. That could be just added to the bottom line, used for growth etc.

Now if the candidate is strong, a good negotiator, and all their competing candidates went through a recruiter then they may be able to claw back some of that as a pay rise. But I guess in most cases, not.
Have really wanted to look at making WP into a static site generator. Have too many clients using WP that could be using it as a static site but won't move away from it... So the admin backend / familiar publishing interface but generating it out to something that could be dumped into S3z

Some people have done variations of it but not well or easy. Is easy enough to trap events that should trigger page regeneration. Just haven't taken enough time yet.

The AWS CLI has extremely amazing performance, having something that could leverage that kind of multithreading for publishing would be great. Especially for the initial site publish.

If anyone is interested in working on this project or taking it on (I'm happy to contribute ideas and/or money) feel free to reach out. mike503 at gmail.

I'm not English, I don't live in the UK, but the approach and wording in this article bothers me.

Are these companies "sell outs" because they sold, or because they sold to foreign companies?

Shouldn't they be lauded as successes for having been sold in the first place? Is this part of the problem that the root of the article (as I see it) is actually talking about?

I would say code for the scale you'll have in the near future, not for the scale you want to have in 5 years.

Transitioning database is painful, but dealing with the extra complexity of non-ACID stores can inhibit your growth. If you reach the scale where you need to change, you'll probably be able to afford more developers to help you.

The first time I saw it, I thought they had people in some call center doing the reading. But they don't, at least not often.

The US Postal Service used to have 55 centers where humans tried to read envelopes that the machines couldn't. They're now down to one. "We get the worst of the worst. It used to be that we’d get letters that were somewhat legible but the machines weren’t good enough to read them. Now we get letters and packages with the most awful handwriting you can imagine."

I don't think it is just markets, or any confusion with passion and profit. Having grown up in Brooklyn in the late 60s/early 70s and then some, I have seen regulation quell a lot of hacking or making in the US. It struck home when I tried to buy my kids chemistry sets in the 2000s. Baking soda and vinegar basically, that was it, due to all of the safety and litigation concerns.

I am not calling for a wild west mentality, but the opposite of trying to legislate intelligence is a sure way to stagnation and oppression of creativity, passion and possible profit.

I was making blackpowder from my hobby store-bought kit in the 70s, and playing with all sorts of chemicals. My mom & dad did not discourage me. I had to setup my darkroom after they went to bed, since we lived in a railroad apartment. If my Dad got up to go the shared hallway bathroom, there went my negatives or prints!

I went on to melt and cast aluminum, solar ovens, tesla coils, lab mice, the whole shebang.

Anyway, I am optimistic by some of the things I have seen kids do on YouTube in the US, but some of them seem like they have been funded by a huge corporation (VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92M5qcjDkaU). I give my kids as much support as I can, but even they will not accumulate the materials present in that video even with a singular-purposed feat such as that.

My son had told he might not have been able to bring his science project to school, a home-made cathode ray tube, for safety reasons even though the teacher knew it didn't emit harmful Xrays at the power and configuration of the setup. He finally proved it, and was allowed, but there were other 'mysterious' concerns about such devices and the local police.

Now I have lived in SE Asia for almost 8 years. Chinese farmers/tinkerers are building home made submarines to harvest ocean bottom sea life that are so much a part of Chinese cuisine. That and trike planes, basically tricycles with a hang glider and a huge propeller on back - sort of a real hacked ultralight you would see in the US. The scene is surprisingly large in the light of such a heavy-handed government.

Even now where I am in East Java, people hack together some weird stuff, and the police don't stop them or pull them over - imagine a train of dollies being pulled by a small 125cc scooter on a secondary road with passengers! Scary, but I am glad to be around creativity and people using their wits to solve problems with constrained resources.
NoSQL is amazing when you have non relational data. Think of it as a giant, distributed hash table. Hash tables are awesome and wicked fast. But toss in relations and now you got some interesting problems. RDMS solves that for you but scaling is now harder. At least in my opinion anyway. You can still use NoSQL in these situations but you're typically duplicating data or indexing it yourself so you can refer back to it.

It's all about trade offs. If you're small just pick the best one for the job at hand. When you need scale you can usually hack either into scaling well enough.
I really didn't know about the drag up and down thing to adjust exposure. Thanks!
It seems like terrible security to send millions of dollars to arbitrary destinations based on an email.
Complete agreement. Like all of software developer, it's about tradeoffs.
Sorry, but Sinclair was never a potential titan. His problem was always he was happy to shave off 50% of the capability to save 10% of the cost. Tho' this is a mentality that is all too common in the UK - just look at our defence procurement.

A real story would be that of De Havilland and the Comet airliner - Boeing and Airbus should never have existed, the UK had that market sewn up until the government of the day blew it...

The EU doesn't control member country tax rates and most of its regulations are to harmonise products sold within the market - ie products would have to meet the regulations to be sold in the block no matter whether they are produced inside or outside the EU.

Other regulations affecting things like working hours or environment wouldn't necessarily be great for the UK to cut back on. These are designed to prevent beggar-thy-neighbour policies that turn into a race to the bottom in a zero sum game. It's better for everyone to agree to the same rules here, game theoretically.

And less freedom to hire people from the continent would just push up labour costs.

So personally I don't think there's any upside from Brexit here. That would have to come from somewhere entirely hypothetical, like significantly better trade deals than the EU currently has.

That's kind of my point. It's all learned vernacular, so having inately understandable behaviour isn't as important as being consistent.

A beginner can grasp musical notation; its rules are simple and consistent, and the conventions are well-documented and reasonably straightforward. This blog post should be evidence of that: the beginner who wrote it clearly has the basics of notation down, and there are no inaccuracies at least with regard to the notation.

A beginner can't grasp the motivations behind the design of musical notation, and I don't expect a beginner to grasp the motivations behind the design of any complex system. That does not make the system absurd.
I'm going to guess that requiring VAT be collected at the buyer's rate is the biggest law affecting small tech companies in Europe. What other EU regulations have a high negative impact on tech businesses?
Someone pretending to be the CEO emails the CFO, CFO makes the payment.

Depending on how you define 'soon' - it might take a little longer. A bunch of really good people at Facebook AI just worked on Starcraft using reinforcement learning, and even getting the micro down is really hard.

I really like the formula! (Performance = Potential - Interference)

This reminds me of two recent things, and one older thing.

A) http://killsixbilliondemons.wikia.com/wiki/Meti's_Sword_Manu...
"You must strive for attachment-non-attachment when cutting. Your cut must be sticky and resolute. A weak, listless cut is a despicable thing. But you must also not cling to your action, or its result. Clinging is the great error of men. A man who strikes without thought of his action can cut God."

B) I've been playing a lot of Holopoint, a VR archery game that keeps you in constant motion. I notice I do much better when I loose arrows without paying that much attention to the result of the shot... if I've started slow enough to get into the proper rhythm.

C) I've heard about a study on pottery student. One group was told they would only be judged on the best pot they produced; the other was told they would only be judged on the quantity of pots produced. In the end, the quantity group also produced the best pots.

As someone who does (non-NN) ML on AMD, I might ask why you think that AMD is so far behind. In my experience, their GPU hardware is excellent, maybe even better than Nvidia, especially if you factor the price in. Where they ARE lagging heavily is:

1. GPU as a service: While all major providers (AWS, Azure) offer Teslas on their servers, there is no AMD on the cloud (that I know of)

2. Key libraries: Nvidia comes with matrix libraries and cuDNN out of the box, while for AMD, there are only open source offerings that are a bit difficult to manage.

But, If you write your own software or rely on open source, AMD is quite performant and affordable. The problem is that it is really obscure. So, yes, they are really bad at marketing and if you are looking at them as a user instead of as a developer, they are invisible.
Is there an article/book/video anyone can recommend that explains the advantages of modern staff notation in terms that beginners can understand?

In particular, I think everyone would agree that it's it's much harder for beginners to hunt and peck sheet music in modern staff notation than it is for a novice typist to type words on a QWERTY keyboard. (At least when the sheet music is written in any key except C major, since the configuration of black/white piano keys corresponds to C major.)

This prompts beginners to ask, "why is this unnecessarily hard?"

The general advice I see (especially in the comment thread here) is to just spend years practicing and then you'll "get it;" you won't just learn how to play, but you'll understand why staff notation is awesome.

Can the beginner's question be answered, except by saying, "uh, trust me, it's great, just keep practicing"?
