Why are you so cynical about this? Don't attribute to malice what is explainable by ignorance.
The issue is that to a buyer, the inputs don't matter. We're buying the outputs in the form of business results.

If Codetree was doing $120 in ARR after 2y of FT development, he's not going to be able to sell it for 2y * salary_to_build_app. He's going to sell it for some multiple of $120 minus expenses.
Didn't this fail in India?
So investors demand growth. But not only that, they demand sevenfold growth. That's much less abstract.

And it's also hilarious and a perfect example of why Twitter is a perfect example of the tech bubble. Twitter is not going to grow in value sevenfold: in ten years they have not even broken even yet.
Still think it's a dumb example because the quantity group could produce 1 pot that's 50 pounds, and it'd be awful, but would get an A.
That's literally the opposite of how it works.

Absolutely. But buying an asset can be quite hard, especially if you're at least trying to align it with your personal skill set. For example, I've probably looked through 30-40 prospectuses and have only once found something moderately interesting.
I have no idea what you're talking about. I tried it and after the first popup there's a checkbox to disable any more popups. It didn't affect any of my other tabs and I could kill the process of that one tab through task manager.
that's one of the reasons a lot of security people these days will recommend not just relying on preventative controls, but also detection and response.

The assumption that nothing is 100% secure shouldn't lead to people just giving up , but hopefully lead to them spending effort on detecting attempted and successful intrusions and in having effective responses to them.
> - bad performance

What scenarios were you finding you had bad performance?

I was finding I could getting comparable performance to MySQL for straight by key CRUD activity which is all I'd use a document store for (particularly once you take into account MySQL replicating to multiple nodes and the related failover setup).

> This is with about 20 minutes of looking around and just listing a few things. It looks like RethinkDB was written by web devs for web devs and I don't think that can compete in the database world. You might get the web devs onboard, but the database and HPC people at the firm will probably look at it and go "how quaint when can we get Oracle/Postgres/Informix/etc up and running?"

Have you ever tried to fully automate the failover/replication/etc for those? It is a substantial pain point that usually requires an experienced DB person with that database to do it well.

There are plenty of CRUD datasets where RethinkDB would be good enough and wouldn't require the dedicated ops people. That is the pain point I'd say RethinkDB was focused on solving.

----

I'd say the real reason of the failure is more the business model end where the intersection of orgs w/o dedicated ops people AND willing to pay for support was simply too small. RethinkDB was built (imo) for small organizations that simply didn't have a dedicated ops team and it was just 5-10 developers + marketing/business.

That could just be how I feel because its the situation I'm in (less than 10 IT supporting 200+ person org and our sysadmins deal almost entirely with end user issues).

The problem is that this is a whole lot of cargo cult.

It does have the efficient parts, but it also has a lot of accumulated cruft, archaic limitations, arbitrariness, and plain bad decisions.

Thanks for your reply. I agree with your "library voices" concept and I'm very respectful in regards to keeping volume down and minimal duration if there was a need for a chat. The issue is when others are not and you have no control over it, making it difficult to focus on the task at hand.

Run away. Perhaps you're not aware; being a contractor also opens you up to paying an extra ~14% in self employment taxes. This is no kind of living wage and you are absolutely being exploited.
Good point, forgot that one even though I use it.
You're completely right! I meant to say that some parts of the application are written in an older style that we don't use anymore. For loops, indexOf, etc. are valid and there's nothing wrong with using them, we just use a more functional approach now and use some of the newer methods for doing the same thing.
Some people might say that our instincts are often wrong. A lot of people use tricks to do something other than what their emotions are telling them. They get angry and contain it. They feel jealous that someone else is getting attention and ignore it. We tend to divide emotions into bad ones like that and good ones like empathy, but there's an argument to be made that the natural empathy we feel toward animals is wrong in some cases and should be suppressed. Taken to its extreme, we'd end up with a world where we tried to save everything, even every insect, and we'd end up with an unsustainable world or at best a planet-sized zoo where everything was controlled and coddled. Maybe the natural world, as messy and bloody as it is, is better than one in which every living thing is protected and loved. Maybe empathy is an emotion that was beneficial to our evolution as mammals but has grown out of control as we gained intelligence and the ability to see beyond our family and clan needs and we're better off slaughtering animals which we raise because at least they get to live better lives than any animal would live in the wild before that slaughter comes, making way for a new generation to be raised in a pastoral situation.

I'm only speaking in hypotheticals because I'm also a vegetarian and don't personally subscribe to that idea, but I think it's not necessarily cut and dry that avoiding killing for food is absolutely the right thing to do. Personally, I think the normalization of dominating animals is what led to a lot of bad behaviors toward humans like slavery and subjugation and that we would be better off cultivating more empathy rather than accepting the order of nature as we were born into it. There was a time before hunting and slaughtering, and I think there will be a time after it, and I think we will be better of once we have moved past it. But I also have to consider that I might be wrong.

"There probably is _some_ mathematical formalism out there where there are less prime numbers than natural numbers."

You could call Z[n] ?for any composite n? that (in Z[4], the multiplication table only contains 0, 1, and 2, so 3 is prime there; Z[p] for prime p gives you p different numbers and zero primes) but I think those are the only ones. If you accept that infinity exists you get Hilbert's hotel, which gets you all those paradoxes, which after lots of sleepless nights leads to the only logical conclusion that giving up intuition about infinities is the best way out.

If you don't accept that infinities exist, there must be a largest integer M, and you get to decide what M+1 or 2M are. That leads either to Z[n], to K&R's undefined behavior, which is so ugly no mathematician would dare publish it :-), or to some formalized variant of it that isn't Z[n].

I'm not sure I would call the values of Z[n] natural numbers, though, as that feels like it requires having negative numbers, too. Hm, maybe a shifted Z[n] would work. If you replace {0,1,2,3} by {0,1,2,-2,-1} in Z[5], you have two negative and three natural numbers in your universe, none of which is prime.

I doubt that any of this kind of mathematical hair-splitting would bring aboard those who have trouble with grasping 0.999999... = 1, though :-)
Black pudding (blood sausage) would be my pick, but there are also a lot of good Chinese recipes that include pork blood curd.

The only danger I am aware of--beyond the risks of eating pork products in general--is iron overdose, which means you have to ration your consumption appropriately.

The viscera may also be used, though not necessarily for food. Whatever cannot be eaten can likely be turned into glue, leather, fertilizer, string, etc.
> edit: sadly git runs very oddly in this. not sure what git bash is doing differently, but I'm comparing .64 seconds for a git status, versus over a minute with MSY2. weird.

Yikes! I work on a fairly compact codebase, so I've never waited more than a minute for anything except sometimes when fetching. (For that I blame the network, but I could be wrong.) Other operations seem snappy, and tig is pretty responsive. That being said, I haven't benchmarked against git for windows, so I could be wrong about that. Sorry to hear it's so laggy for you!
Well some are. Like doctors. Notice though that service jobs that fit into the basic needs categories are the outliers in this case.
I don't find thinking of "secure" in an absolute sense really helpful.

It all depends on your threat model, so who's going to attack you and what vectors and resources they'll have at their disposal.

Sure against nation state level attackers it's fair to say that no-one but the most well funded of groups will be able to entirely avoid compromise, but it's definitely possible to avoid most of the lower end attacks that are more realistically a likelihood for most Internet users.

Can you explain what you mean when you say motion through time, and shape in space?

I was under the impression that the whole idea of time symmetry revolved around being able to "zip/fold/traverse/map" both forwards and backwards in time. It's my understanding that such a concept would imply determinism, because time is really just a set of states, in the smallest possible interval of time.

I also don't understand why the time crystal loses energy over time if it is trapped in a temporal loop. I mean obviously there's not such a thing as perpetual energy, but I would think that the energy of a certain object at a particular frame in the set of states that is time, then when it returns to that state from either direction, it should be the same.

I worked at the Forestry department at a major university for a while (in IT), but I heard that same thing from all of the professors and staff there. It's less a theory and more of a fact. It is more often better to let the forest fire burn than to try and contain it.

The people at that department are doing some incredible research like mapping forest floors from drones/airplanes with radar.
> This is not necessarily the expected behaviour in other languages

Which language, for example?

I'm french, we have characters with grave accent ('à', 'è' and 'ù'), and we do not expect the "` + a = à" behavior, as for one language.

EDIT: we do expect that "^ + a = â", though, but that's an other thing, and we have actually two ^ keys, one for our behavior and one for the usual behavior.

If it turns out that a 17 billion dollar company is the pinnacle of irrational exuberance, when it remains a successful company at 3 billion dollars - for example - then the capital enthusiasm for "tech 2.0" was never really there.

A reality though is that 17 billion is a drop in the bucket in US equities and you are overestimating the relevance of Twitter's market cap problems.
You're saying that Google, THE tracking company, is possibly sitting on this huge pipeline of data from IPs connecting to their CDN downloading fonts and they're just not doing anything with it? I would have a very hard time believing this.
I'm actually not a big fan of that article :/ or rather, I disagree with it. I've been meaning to write my own piece on it.

But the summary is: you can make it as easy or complicated as you want it to be.

And I mean, every technology has the same issue. Take PHP for instance. Want to learn it? Cool, it's super easy. Want to build an app? Okay, so there these different frameworks. Oh btw, you should know about composer. And autoloading. Did you also hear about DI that Symfony uses? etc. etc.

| The hand shapes the tool and the tool shapes the hand

I really like that line a lot. I've used a similar phrase to describe the relation between the data you're generating and consuming and the code doing so.

Very eloquent, I'm going to have to remember that one.
This is really great advice that jibes with my own experience. A small thing I would add is that when you do this, the following main goals are possible:

1) To finish the project.

2) To learn a language.

3) To finish the project, but also learn a language.

4) To learn a language, but also finish the project.

My $0.02 is that: 1) tends to lead to short term hacks; 2) and 4) tend to lead to dwindling motivation; 3) is ideal. And if it's your first language, do the project while you read a good generic programming book like 'code complete'.
It's muddied somewhat by the sarcasm, but malice isn't necessarily implied nor salient in the OP's point.

I don't get it. Is there some cultural context I'm missing?
this. I always say this, the real credit for success of open source software goes to gcc (egcs for old timers) which allowed developers to make executable code unencumbered with NDAs & royalties.

sometimes I wish somebody with deep pockets (or maybe a semiconductor company) were to buy an ailing EDA company and just opensource all these design tools things would move much faster for opensource h/w design.

Generally, factory jobs are 1:many while service jobs are closer to 1:1; they're just so much more efficient and productive that they could afford to pay better (compared to the artisan, hand crafted, one at a time jobs they replaced).

There's a reason why TVs are so much cheaper, but medical care (ignoring liability and cost of medicine) and education have gone up in cost relatively. The bottleneck is people and machines and software hasn't made them 100s of times more efficient like it has for factories.

I do think unions are another factor. Factories had a concentration of workers, while service jobs distribute them across multiple shops, which makes it harder to organize.

I'd say it can. the modern world is forcing people to make more and more use of computer systems to effectively operate in society. Governments and corporations are moving processes online (generally 'cause it's cost effective for them to do so).

It's very unfortunate that in a kind of tragedy of the commons, each site owner just rolls out the easiest authentication options available (username/password) and then leaves the user, who's rarely equipped to handle it, to deal with the fallout of having huge numbers of logins to manage.
I am glad she mentioned how awful it is to have only one female employee.

I was the only woman in an office. One of my co workers made a pretty horrific comment (not about me, but about women in front of me). Someone went to HR and we had sensitivity training...but everyone assumed it was me because I was the only woman. Maybe I SHOULD have gone to HR, but I didn't want to because I feared being the obvious complainant. Which I ended up getting the side-eye for anyway.

I realized I would much rather work somewhere with at least 2 other women.

Challenge yourself
So here's the problem. Actually, a couple of them:

You can have a "papers, please!" kind of country, or you can have some level of illegal immigration and work. You can't get rid of all illegals without becoming a very, very different kind of place.

That said, you do want to try and minimize people living in the shadows. The best way to do that is to make legal immigration cheap and easy, which is currently the exact opposite of what we do in the US. It's basically impossible for most Mexicans to move here unless they already have family. This has all kinds of benefits: 1) people will be more likely to go home because they know they can easily come back 2) they are less likely to be exploited by shady employers 3) it really separates out the people who want to just come and work from people involved in various kinds of illegal and harmful activities.

I believe there is quite a market for environmental protection research technology.

I worked IT in a forestry and enviro science department at a university, and the amount of technology they required was incredible. Lots of servers, storage, laptops, radar equipment, drones, gps, lab tech, cameras, everything you can imagine. I'm sure they could use some tailored tech.
That's why "cash in hand" was one of their selling points.

For me the point lies in avoiding the hassle of getting a notification from haveibeenpwned.com that one of my accounts has been compromised and having to worry where else I used that username/password combo.

That's why I user a password safe so that when that happens (at least 4 times to date), I can just shrug my shoulders and move on, resetting just that one password if I still use the site.
