Anyone know the state of BDR in 9.6?

http://blog.2ndquadrant.com/bdr-is-coming-to-postgresql-9-6/
When I tried keto a few years back (an interesting experience, to say the least), and I eliminated almost all carbs from my diet, estimated the calories that are left, I found I needed to eat a LOT more fat to reach a sensible daily amount of calories. Like heaping a few big tablespoons of mayo on a bowl of broccoli lots (being Dutch, cue the Pulp Fiction references :) ). Maybe it's just that I've never been a very big eater, but yeah I found it a bit of a struggle to keep up. So adding some butter and coconut fat to the coffee helps. Plus fat lasts longer, it doesn't quite spike like sugars do, so getting a whole lot of it in the morning is a great way to start the day.

I kinda want to try and start again, it definitely had some benefits, as long as I managed to get enough calories and vegetables/nutrients (sorry I'm one of those persons that needs to take care they eat enough).

The big problem, however, is that in the mean time I've greatly reduced the amount of animal products from my diet--for environmental and ethical reasons, not health. And I'm not really sure how to do both.

I would need to spend a lot of money on almonds and other foods that may not seem that expensive until you need to consume them in bulk to replace the cheap, cheap carbs :) Being nearly-vegetarian is very cheap.

And even though I could probably hack the costs (or figure out something clever to do so), I'm not at all sure if it's even possible to live on a healthy keto diet while keeping my environmental impact footprint to a reasonable size that I can consider myself a responsible inhabitant of this planet. I don't think I can bring myself to eat very large amounts of meat again, even if they're organic certifiably happy cows. Tempeh has slightly more proteins anyway :p (also tastier than tofu, which is not a very high bar, I know)
> CeliaSue Hecht’s writing work has been featured in more than 40 local and national newspapers and magazines, on her dog travel blog, in newsletters, and in five romantic travel guides. She has traveled around the world and has written and led seminars and workshops in the US and Europe. Her travels have included about 245 cities. She can be contacted by email at prmatchmaker@yahoo.com or on her website celiasue.com.

I'm a little confused. Her blog and personal site make it seem like it's more of a lifestyle choice than a victim of circumstance. Perhaps both?

Anyway, I don't think social security was designed to be a complete retirement plan. I agree with the author about some laws discriminating those without permanent lodging (e.g. many places it's illegal to sleep in your car), but I hope that able and intelligent people take responsibility for their own retirement.
I wouldn't exclude facebook or google. I'm sure they've got big fat pipes that lead right to the NSA.
< I divorced my husband,

In my county, the number one (by far) reason people are homeless is because of divorce.

Marriage is a commitment and the second biggest choice one (usually) has to make.
> This is not an election to sit on the sidelines. Make a choice that matters.

If you tell a kid that it's having green beans for dinner, it will throw a tantrum because it doesn't like green beans. If you ask it: "what do you want for dinner, green beans or spinach?", it will happily choose the beans because it likes spinach even less. The illusion of choice is a very powerful one.

You get to choose from a grand total of 2 pre-vetted candidates. Do you really think it matters which one you pick ?

The purpose of an election is not so the people can choose their leader, it's to make the people think they chose their leader. It prevents revolution.
"You would want to support your local communities / markets maybe, now risking to become invisible or outpowered? "

With Amazon, sure, there's a point, but that battle was lost 30 years ago with Wal-Mart when U.S. consumers decided they didn't give a shit about their local community, they wanted "low prices". Not everywhere, mind you.

"Very sad and dangerous for evolution a fully Googled or a fully Amazoned or a whatever monopolised world."

I'm not sure I agree. Where's the monopoly? High market share isn't the only criteria. It has to be a case where consumers have little to no choice, which is clearly not true today. Plenty of people avoid Google (I try as much as I can). Amazon also isn't the world's only retailer or cloud computing company by a long shot.

These things might be true tomorrow, but future crime ala Minority Report isn't actually a thing. I'm also not sure it makes sense to give corporate welfare to losers that will waste the capital, when these companies are actually giving customers good service (hence their high market share) and being great at technology (the barrier to entry is about knowledge).

Also, given the number of negative articles about Amazon by current and former employees lately, I wouldn't bet on their braintrust staying in one place.

"Also dangerous: fascism and communism are made of the same metal and come from monopoly of minds and costumes."

I think that equating global corporations with fascism and communism dilutes those terms too much. We are a global society of organizations, it is pluralistic, and it is relatively new. I'm not fond of unregulated global capitalism, but at the same time I think it's much riskier to be ham-handed with laws and regs because someone thinks they know better, unless there's a lot of peer-verified research on the issue.

Ah, yeah. I forgot what week this was.
I didn't follow that debacle too closely, from what I understand Spore was too ambitious but at some level it delivered.

NMS on the other hand is just a badly designed game. Sure, there was hype and over commitment. However, the core game loop is so shallow it's borderline fraudulent.

This happens to me every time a USPS package is to be delivered on a Saturday or Sunday. My local post office has "temps" delivering on the weekends and they simply just don't come. They mark it "undeliverable as addressed" and then my normal mail carrier brings it on Monday.

Amazon says there is little they can do about it, except offer me a small credit on my account and file a complaint with their folks that handle the USPS relationship.
Well the burden to prove they've made a quantum computer is on them, no?
The goal is a better future, after all, not maximizing fairness in the short-term.

That's why you shouldn't judge by gender, but by performance of the candidate. That just proves my point. If your goal is a better future and you make performance-based decisions, you will minimize biases like sexism all by itself because what is less discriminating than assessing raw performance?
Not to mention that if they run it on a VM and the host crashes or becomes unusable, they lose business. It seems the C64 is robust enough for them, no need for extra layers.
I think indiehackers.com is doing a great job at motivating people to get out there and work on projects --especially ones that find a niche and exploit it for profit.

However, I believe it's incredibly misleading and irresponsible for indiehackers.com to only report revenue. While these testimonies serve as great motivational material, some developers who lack the background to do market research may begin spending copious amounts of time on similar "indie projects" that will most likely not sustain them.

That's not to say developers shouldn't try. But, indiehackers is only providing numbers in terms of revenue; maybe projections to profitable would be more responsible.

Looking at the comments on HN that have been posted over the last few articles (ex. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12575665), people are not only using the site for motivation, they are also using it for market research.
Couldn't this also just as easily be a change in usage patterns?

Why would it be only 32 times faster? The sky's the limit if there aren't major bottlenecks on the way.
Pretty much guaranteed that nothing someone would build for them today would last them 3 decades. That's a lost art.

Can someone tell why one would use Windows Server? I can't imagine using it as an application server because of the OS's heft. Maybe as an admin server over a cluster of lighter-weight app servers?

Edit:
Thanks for the answers. The article actually had a pretty good overview. Basically the OS is built to host tons of VM's so every box (hundreds of logical cores, terabytes of memory per VM) can be a cluster in and of itself.
Nest Cam Outdoor Tested – Analytics Strong, Installation Weak
One of the worst places lack of generics hits is numeric code, because you really want to be able to write Vector<int> or Vector<byte> or Vector<complex> without having to write all that over and over, multiplied across a significant number of such structures you might want templated (matrices of several types, several types of math-vectors, several types of arrays, etc.), multiplied across a large number of operations on those types. Datastructures times types in them times operations on them comes out to a big number in numeric code.

I've often thought that the utility of templates in numeric code is part of the reason people tend to overestimate its utility in other places. Seeing something really nail a solution in one domain and assuming it must be equally useful everywhere is a common programming community failure I've seen over the years, and I've been putting together a sort of list in my head of such things. (It currently includes "inheritance based OO is awesome because it nails writing GUIs", even though it's not so great for most other tasks, "FP is great because it nails writing compilers" which is getting more popular but it took more than just that, "data binding is great because it nails simple CRUD forms" but inevitably explodes in complexity beyond that, that sort of thing. Beware the techonology that is always demoed on the same use case every time, in every video and essay written about it.)

(And I'm not saying templating is useless, any more than any of the other things I mentioned are useless. I'm just saying it's very easy to overestimate the importance and utility of the given technology if you only look at where it is at its absolute best. You really need to look at the whole picture.)
I would guess that they tested how many sites it would break and found that mostly it just broke ads. And even better, probably mostly non-Google ads. That's certainly the only document.write code I've deployed in recent years.
Revisionist history. During the US Civil war, there were two great armies in the world, and the US Army of the North was number one. Number two? The US Army of the South.
I think every person sometimes behaves just like IYI. IYIs are just a good illustration of human ignorance. Remember Robert Sheckley's Ask a Foolish Question book? Two clever scientists challenged The Answerer with their questions. This machine knew everything about the world, but failed to give any answer, because their questions were wrong. Anyone can read a clever book and think he/she knows something without really knowing it at all.
Well, it seems that publishers would prefer working page over a slow page. If all the education efforts about doing the "right thing" aren't working, then take away the bad thing. I bet a lot of publishers will fix their pages, and as consumers we'all benefit, even if there's some short term pain. It's not like the fix is particularly difficult.
Would be nice if affected end users actually complained to google when they randomly break a website, based on the network speed. Then the Chrome devs would perhaps think twice about breaking old APIs.
There is at least one start-up I know working on this very problem using simulation to prove that automotive software can handle these extremely rare events without having to do trillions of miles of real world testing.
I am fond of this book! I've been working hard to improve the process of renting properties in the USA and wholeheartedly support the idea that we have to modernize and simplify our city life. Shifting from a linear system to a circular one sounds great. Let's take the best feature of every city, like San Francisco's recycling system and Hong Kong’s subway system, and integrate these best practices in creating the City of the Future!
>Your comments are curious given Teleport just came out. One comes to trust something by spending time with it first. You can't apply anti-trust to something just because it's not the same as something you do trust.

I don't follow this line of reasoning. I was with you for the opening sentence - trust is a thing earned over time - and then you lost me.

Statistically it is a near-certainty that OpenSSH does have undiscovered security holes. The trust that the maintainers have built over years makes me comfortable with that, because I know they will be rapidly addressed in a reasoned out manner.

I don't see gp as applying anti-trust just because it is different from OpenSSH - I see it as the maintainers of Teleport not yet having earned the trust that the maintainers of OpenSSH have.

And statistically as a new product with a new code base, Teleport is likely to have more security issues than an established product actively monitored for security flaws in the same space.

So the issue is not a matter of "new and different is bad", so much as "new product and (relatively) unknown community behind it are unproven". Those two factors combined make it inherently less trustworthy in a space where trustworthiness is critical.
You want smart technical people to stay behind in a civil war? You go there.

And as the most powerful, we cannot stand by and pretend everybody else is on their own. That is the most irresponsible thing any country can do. Even Poland helps their neighbors unconditionally in time of need. And they're no better off.
As others have said, if you're asking about the title specifically, it depends on the company. I was one of those "Senior" developers when I was in my mid twenties at a start-up, whereas for my current company it's actually pretty hard to get the title "Senior Software Development Engineer."

My experience is generally the people I recognize as having deserved the title don't _simply_ just code. Not only do they write code that works and delivers the feature in a timely manner, they make it so the next 3 features to come out in that area can be done quickly by junior developers. Not only do they code, but they make everyone around them better coders. Not only do they code, but they also think strategically about what the team needs to keep going two years from now. Not only do they deliver the project, they get everyone excited about delivering the project.

I once read someone say "there's a difference between having ten years of experience, and having the same year of experience ten times." Time is a factor, but it's also whether you've exposed yourself broadly and deeply to new technologies, approaches and experiences so that when you are in a new situation (technical or otherwise), you have patterns for how to deal (or the self awareness to know that you don't know how to deal). So, part of it is time, but part of it is spending that time wisely.
We use Slack in our office. As a company owner, I wouldn't encourage my employees to use Facebook At Work, because they'll definitely get distraced by personal messages. However, it's exciting to see what features Facebook will launch.
Virtualisation (Hyper-V), Active Directory, Exchange, SQL Server...
Also using Qubes on an old Lenovo Thinkpad.

The only major con for me is that it takes a lot of RAM.The laptop only has like 4GB so I can barely run my work and 'other work' VMs side by side. Often one will not boot due to memory constraints.

I think it would be fine on a 16GB laptop. I just can't be bothered upgrading that old hunk of junk.

I will bring Qubes over to my next laptop, if I ever do end up getting one. I find it indispensable for traveling - isolating network/proxy VMs from each other is amazing!

I'd also like to run i3 on it as the main WM. I think it is possible with some trickery but I didn't try.
I could live with the idea that this law subscribes to a more universalist view of politics and morale ; one in which individuals strive to share their values and their new ideas with their neighbours. Such a concept was always risky, but it also underlines the fundamental altruist nature of mankind.

However, when we look at the context of this decision, it is doubtful that such is the case. On the opposite, this decision seems to be the result of a particular strain of exceptionalism, where one nation should be able to judge others' deeds, while at the same time claiming immunity for its own misdemeanours.

This duality of standards, which would have us accept that foreign nations can be judged when no introspection is possible, is very dangerous, because it starves empathy and feeds nationalism ; it enables national outrage at actions which are merely reciprocal. This is the kind of group mentality that made the first world war happen.

I've launched several startups and I know how important it is to teach the employees to work as a team. Engineers might mistakingly think that the users will be fond of their products with so many features. But ordinary people do not often need them, they just want intuitive, easy-to-use products! Designers try to convince engineers to produce more user-friendly solutions, but it may lead to conflicts. So before developing a new feature, we brainstorm to the balance between complexity and simplicity together. It helps us stream the energy on reaching our common goal without any misunderstanding.
As the person referenced in the article, I am keen to work out how we make developers aware of these changes. We've had the warning on the console for a while now, and it probably still won't be a little while before it roles out, so it's not like they are happening instantly... But we want to make sure developers are not surprised.
I know a couple of (rural-route) mail carriers personally.

Working for USPS is not a comfortable place to be. USPS kind of got taken over by Amazon traffic, and it's been an adjustment.
> company is working on other projects.

This is how game development works.

You only need the senior engine engineers when you are tackling hard problems (e.g. they would have been roped in for planetary landing). You only need artists when art is being added to the game. Multicrew? Probably needs a senior network coder or two. You can't pay people to sit around and do nothing, and you can't sack people with in-depth knowledge about your IP - so you put them on another project. It's almost like consulting, but for a single entity who so happens to be yourself.
Actually, she isn't that far gone. But she hates computers with a passion and treats them accordingly. I have tried for many years to teach her the concepts, but she refuses based on the premise that she thinks it's too complicated and that it "should be simpler".

Kind of reminds me of myself following useless bureaucracy.
Exactly. Testing an API in isolation doesn't help you a thing when the bug arises because of, say, subtle inconsistencies between API implementations of interacting services on a long chain.

This sounds a lot like the code coverage fallacy. (to which I usually answer "call me when you have 100% data coverage").
No one has tested a query that got more than 32x faster, so they don't want to promise something they can't prove.
This is why I think vehicle autonomy will never happen the way we want it to.

Collectively, the death toll of driving will be significantly reduced, but it will only take a few people being killed by driverless vehicles for people to make a fit about it, because there is a clear victim.

In an accident, it's exactly that: an accident. It wasn't an intended decision, it just sort of happened. With AI and autonomous vehicles, everything is a decision, and someone gets the worse outcome, and every little bad thing that happens is going to cause an uproar.

I'm so sure that something similar has happened before, I'm struggling to come up with it though.
Or design the application so that there are no conflicts (e.g. modifying different subsets of users on different nodes).

I agree, but that realization tend to make your voice quieter in relevant discussions, since you can see both sides of the coin.
Detrimental. Average Salaries plummet as more women join a field. They don't bargain for raise as much as men instead settling for less and thus drive prices down.

Also more available labor pouring in will always decrease salaries.
People who need SQL Server, Exchange, ASP, .NET, Active Directory, etc. (MS technology) If you want to build a web service that works with Office files, Windows is still your best bet.
This isn't about the trolley problem (it's like Godwin's Law for autonomous vehicles, I guess), it's about the fact that we already routinely license drivers that end up injuring and killing people and are making no particular effort to improve that process, yet act like autonomous vehicles aren't acceptable until they're orders of magnitude better.
It's mostly used in large companies (at least in France).

They can use it for ActiveDirectory, and it help them reduce IT department costs: a Windows Desktop SysAdmin can easily manage a Windows Server.

Getting Linux would require them to hire new specialists.
Um, either is fine IMO :)
