Do you have more than that?
Do you have benchmarks? You know, competing against the other providers?

I agree that this is not a good thing. No one should be fired for having controversial opinions or even being accused of a crime. I believe that "morality clause"-style firings should only occur when a) the employer is among the aggrieved parties (e.g., the employer accuses the employee of theft or other unlawful conduct); or b) the employee is convicted in a criminal court.

I've had way too much of people getting fired for petty personal disagreements or baseless accusations.
Er, the Ecuadorian embassy, but that doesn't alter the point of my question...
Spam is illegal. It's also a lot less subjective.

From my experience, denormalization of a relational model is a special case of "caching". What you are really doing is caching data where it is most likely to be used at access time.

The overview is like this:

1) You need some operation to have low turnaround time / latency

2) So you maintain and update a cache, typically while writing to the data store.

3) Like all caches, you can either invalidate it before changing the data, slightly harming availability, or you can have it lag behind (eventual consistency).

So the article is actually wrong, you don't need to trade consistency for performance. You can increase read performance (lower latency) without losing consistency, by having a cache (denormalization) and invalidating the relevant caches BEFORE writing data (which lowers write latency, but not necessarily write throughput... typically, we don't care about write latency as much as read latency.)
I was using this service back when many people were using RSS and Twitter was somewhat of a sane platform for interaction and information. It isn't as much as the lack of RSS use (I still use RSS) but more so of the lack of use of Twitter itself, which made me abandon this service. Twitter eventually became somewhat reasonable to follow via Lists. They don't want you to use RSS anyways, so ... we move on. Twitterfeed was a good and reasonable service.
They lost credibility again this time around with daily drips right before the election. Anyone not biased realizes it is obvious they are trying to hurt Clinton.

Dumping all they had at once when they received it would at least appear to be less of an agenda. They aren't providing "raw" documents since they are doing it now drip by drip, again trying to rile up uninformed folks right before the election.

Of course it does. Every day I still deal with services that speak on a schedule with SFTP and flat files.. existing infrastructure is hard to eradicate.
These kind of statements remind me of the "Not everything was bad about Hitler" faction. "Sure he killed millions but think of the highways he built!"

Trump is one person, you can't separate his position on policy X from all the other things. You may want to support him because of some specific policy but if you do, you will support all of his policies, there is no way around it.
Future Economies of Scale for Quantum Computing
It takes time for these shifts to play out, but I'd say the reverse is already happening. For a couple of examples that the article provided (Apple, Google), one can find a lot more examples of opposite -- stalwart companies moving back to the city core:

It must be Bedrock Linux' standard DB.
I can only imagine that the only way to scale that would to make whoever owns the repo responsible for automation as well. A dedicated team can provide the tooling/frameworks (basically a "golden path") but if/how would need to be up to the team. I think in a general sense this is the approach Netflix takes to services.

That said I have no idea how Netflix does source control, only that they use BitBucket/Stash on-prem and that supports both mercurial and git.
Well they're doing quite a lot in data-journalism. The Upshot (NYT) and 538 have git organizations. Others are trying the "timeless" content you're describing – I'd say Vox's "cards" come close (but are horribly boring tbh)

Problem is – besides politics not always being easy to capture numerically – that the economics of such a model probably wouldn't work. It'd probably increase costs by factor of at least 5, and I strongly doubt that the market could support it.

It's a tragedy-of-the-commons situation. I currently don't pay for any subscriptions, even though I've avoided the cynicism and the conspiracy theories frequently invoked against journalists. I think they're excellent – so much so in fact that can't imagine getting tied to any single publication.

But, if nobody buys them anymore, we'll get to see what it's like without newspapers. I fear many people don't realize how much of what's going on originates with a handful of organizations. Unfortunately, just as power isn't created in the plug, no news are created on twitter (well, nowadays some are, but you get my point).
If trump wins, and doesnt actually do anything remotely as bad as hitler will you feel bad for taking this extremely radical point of view?
Consistency is only an issue if you switch database servers mid session. Just "stick" to a node by issuing all subsequent requests to the same server and there are no consistency issues.
Are these legacy services? I haven't come across anything recently that doesn't use the json api/sdk pattern I described.

It comes down to this: are those developing the language thinking about how to add features just to try to hone and hold on to the enterprise developers that still use it, or are they thinking about what would make it more fun, productive, and practical?

Java's going to be around a long time. Those that stick with it will be fine. COBOL programmers made a lot of money in 1999, and some people still use Fortran.

But, Java's original big mantra was "write once, run anywhere." Such idealism then. Cool things have been done in the past few years, but can't we do more?
The fact that there are guidelines. I want my ISP to be a dumb pipe and not a content provider, filterer, etc, In the same way I want github to be a dumb service host.

The problem is that there are people who genuinely have these opinions. You need to provide additional context, if you want something like this to be read as sarcastic.
I'm not following you or perhaps you are not familiar with political cycles or the horsetrading that goes on.

See there aren't really any "winners" in politics, just temporary inhabitants of certain roles - roles which have vacillating levers for control, and ideologies.

So if Clinton wins, there is still the pesky problem of a possibly republican controlled congress (House more than likely) at some cycle - and then 4 years later doing it all again. This whole checks and balances thing isn't really efficient for getting things done (Madison made sure that was possible) for corporate interests, so if you need, say bi-partisan support for a bill that has a nice clause in in that supports (or doesn't) lets say H1B visa allocations for FY 2018 - then you need more than just the support of the executive branch. If the representative/senator that the tea party, or whatever the trump people are calling themselves, supports feel like [Insert Corporation] isn't on their side, then they can't compel the representative/senator to vote on their side and thus their power is reduced.

You need to work both sides, otherwise you aren't in the game.
That seems like a good recipe for big government. If society can't trust that private institutions can avoid undesirable behavior, the only recourse is to make everything offensive illegal.

So, conversely, if we don't want to live in that world, it is appropriate and beneficial for private institutions to have some standards of acceptable behavior beyond mere legality.

Yeah predictability is a definite concern. However, many AirBnBs are more convenient in many ways.

My place is accessed by touchscreen code and I let visitors check in whenever they want and usually let them check out late at no charge if requested. 50M internet. Killer kitchen, tons of work space, grill, new hot tub.

AirBnB is pushing more hosts toward instant book which will make it easier for business travel. They also prioritize hosts that respond quickly because booking has to be easy to convert, especially for last minute bookings and biz travel.

It may not be for you, but many on business don't necessarily look for an experience - they just want amenities and features they have at home. Younger people are generally more excited about AirBnB too so that will drive more growth and adoption as they become the traveling warriors.

AirBnB and others need not take huge market share from hotels that cater to business travelers to cause them to hurt. Expenses are on the rise for hotels and changes in the minimum wage and labor laws will have a big impact too. The industry pays very little and demands a lot from their employees.
Looks like it uses annotate information, seems pretty handy.

He should have done it at least before the Democratic primaries. What does it help he does it now? She can't really lose the election anymore. And on the off chance that she might there is someone even worse waiting to take the chair.
The problem with that is that well-informed citizen are necessary for the functioning of a democracy. You can't make decisions without information.
> systemd DOES NOT solve the PID file race

I did not claim otherwise. And I wouldn't even describe it as PID file race. PID files are a specific thing that was used with older inits.

I don't believe any init can solve the issue you're describing - it exists on a different layer. But cgroups freezer should be able to solve it.
IIRC the government pays airlines to have sometimes-unprofitable flights from low volume airports. Or at least some governments do.
It would be hard to retire anywhere with the 20% down needed to buy the house, and it will be easier to retire ten years later if you do buy the house.
I don't know why (perhaps the other-worldly look of the explosion at such a small amount of time after detonation), but this picture and the picture of the Howitzer delivered mushroom cloud, has always filled me with absolute dread and horror. I think for different reasons.

The former just looks so ... weird, and scary, and like anyone witnessing it would know that's the last thing they'll see. The latter because of the implications of what we have the power to do, and probably won't be able to resist actually doing.

So far, so good.
Also. I think young people find penis and swastika funny. This is mostly us grown up who start finding that offensive for "reasons".
And then laugh maniacally when the partition heals. What's a "session"? Can you explain commitCount more, and how a client is supposed to use it intelligently without deadlocking. Also there's a lot of master/slave talk and I'm wondering how leaders are elected during a partition, and what recovery looks like.

It often ends up being more of a moat for an existing location.

I live surrounded one such moat--the closest thing to a rust-belt city in the midsouth. I'd have to move 1.5 hours to find another job in my field, and I'd still be commuting another 30 minutes or so.

The interesting thing is, this has to be adopted internationally.

If RMB or Euros still exist in paper form, but the USD doesn't, or any combination thereof, the economies will quickly shift to taking foreign currency as a matter of course.

If you're selling tacos or hot dogs on a street corner, you're not really caring what kind of money you're taking in, as long as it's good and honored by the people you owe money to.

Obviously for large transactions, there will be currency controls (and there already are). But for small day to day stuff? Like restaurants and dealing with food suppliers? Or hell, even hiring the neighbor's kid to shovel out snow or mow your lawn.

As long as there's some form of cash, that's what they'll use.
Is that site satire or not? I honestly can't even tell any more.
IBM Watson's HQ is Aster Place, in the East Village of NYC. Many other companies have opened offices more "downtown" than their existing offices. I can cherry-pick data as well as the next person...
Fair enough, so maybe some clarification needs to be added?
I'm fairly certain Trump isn't going to do anything remotely as bad because he wouldn't have the ability to.

In any case the parallels are shocking and I'm far from the only one who has noticed, so I don't think the idea is all that radical to begin with.
You can develop Rust with IntelliJ as well. There's a plugin out there.
Most of those are crimes or torts, and should be dealt with by the legal system (the real one, where there are things like rules of evidence, a presumption of innocence, the right to counsel, etc.), not by some kangaroo court made up of the perpetually outraged.
This year I got the full row (3+4+3 seats I think?) in SFO->FRA. I was not the only one, basically everyone near me had a row each. at least a segment of a row each.

I didn't really go to the center row though; I was more comfortable resting on the window and keeping my legs on the seats -- can use a laptop comfortably, and also sleep.
I am not a US citizen and definitely not familiar with all its laws and rules and such. I do wonder, if one thinks endorsing Trump is punishable, shouldn't they bring up a legal case? If it is not against the law, why cannot it be done?

If Trump is a new Hitler, shouldn't there be a legal way to put him out of the election? If his campaign is legal, why all the fuss? Just don't vote for him. Isn't that exactly why you Americans hold elections?

You want democracy and elections, you got to live with the outcomes. You may get what you don't want.
While reading this, I started wondering if there are any other 3rd party (civilian?) accounts of the event or if the geography / remoteness made it 'invisible' to everyone else? I have a funny visual in my head of a random farmer casually mentioning to his wife a 'weird glow in the horizon' on an otherwise regular Monday morning.

IIRC correctly (not sure on this one), there also used to be an IBM campus a few miles to the west and there still is another campus on Bailey a few miles east. Pretty incredible that there used to be 4 (maybe 3) large-scale IBM campuses all within a ~10 mile radius.
You realize that in most areas of the US you can buy a perfectly nice house for $200k right?

Assuming you had $2 Million in assets to start that would still leave you with $1.8 Million which assuming modest returns of 2.5-5% would still leave you with a yearly income of $45k-$90k which is an obscene amount of money if you mortgage is paid off.
As the revitalization of American cities continues at what point do these campuses become white elephants for these tech companies in the Valley?

If urban centres continue to gain in popularity I could imagine suburban companies needing to open urban satellite offices to be able to retain talent that is reluctant to change their urban lifestyle or waste a significant portion of their day in a commute.

Many of my friends have gone to work at such places, but did so grudgingly. If they had had an urban alternative they'd have taken it. Others have chosen not to pursue job opportunities that would have necessitated long commutes.

Looks interesting. Seems like the seeds are being sown for fintech to take off with lot of big financial companies developing api's. for e.g:- https://developer.americanexpress.com/home

CapOne is definitely sailing ahead of others. How this benefits the company remains to be seen.

Hope this won't be like other companies (mint, twitter, etc) which opened up their api and shut them down or drastically reduced what dev's could do.
It's Google's property, Google can make whatever changes it'd like, so it's Google's responsibility.

Goose Bay in Labrador and Gander in Newfoundland are the old refueling stations between the US and Europe (originally Shannon Ireland). They're still capable of handling large jets so they're typically the landing spots if there are fuel or other issues such as medical emergencies with planes flying over the North Atlantic.

This is very interesting. What was the impetus for starting this, a particular data migration?
The airplane works by pushing the air and gets a speed relative to the air. If the air is moving, the ground speed will need that speed added.

Ignoring the airplane pushing the air, an airplane can be pushed by wind too.

An airplane on the ground would not be pushed by air, because of friction. If you somehow managed to make an airplane float (without using the engines), this is no longer a factor; quite the reverse. The airplane will be dragged along by the air. "big things can't be pushed by air" is ground-logic, due to friction against the ground.
I've heard how Amex can be from a friend who has them as a client. They refuse to let her host their instance of her product on AWS because Amex's security team supposedly hasn't vetted AWS yet. This despite the kinds of customers Amazon already hosts on AWS (the CIA comes to mind). Not to mention that she has several other very large banks as clients that don't have a problem at all being hosted on AWS. Or that exactly zero of the data she deals with is in any way related to sensitive customer data because the product is used by Amex's marketing department.

As an Amex customer I'm glad to know they have strict requirements but the fact is, they're shunning a massive cloud infrastructure service like AWS over a piddly little local co-locted hosting company.

I assume you're referring to Linus Torvalds? The early versions of git were very unlike git as we know it; there were a few third-party tools on top, notably Cogito, that provided the interface that resembles what we expect. It took quite a while for git to develop its own interface along the lines of Cogito, and it wasn't very popular until then.

I suspect that Linus's DVCS (as opposed to one of the many other DVCSes with extremely similar data models) succeeded in large part because Linux was an extremely active project, as opposed to because of any inherent technical superiority. I remember the early days of git, when people were using it because that's what you had to do to get Linux's VCS repo; the de-facto requirement to use some wrapper like Cogito was not a point in git's favor.

So, I'm not sure the extent to which GitHub can be fairly said to derive its success from Linus. At best, it derived its success from the network effects around git (as a result of Linux switching to it, and therefore other projects switching to it because they knew Linux and whatever VCS Linux used would be well-supported), and fixing all the things about git that didn't work well. Linus still hates most of what GitHub does that stock git doesn't do! But all of those differences are the reason that GitHub has a very successful company that, seemingly, makes a business out of running a bunch of free tools on a central server.
Yeah works great! But extra steps involved to get things to Kate... Havent used Kate much since KDE 3.5 sigh

Guide to Estimating Story Points
As HP's ability to innovate in technology (as opposed to business operations and cost-cutting) waned, it primarily put engineers in lower cost of living areas like Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina. This pattern is consistent with almost all has-been tech employers that steadily transition more into traditional sales-driven cultures. Conversely, just because you start moving your company back towards a major metro area with more talent doesn't necessarily mean that they'll start an upward trend either.
I'm pretty excited about this! I started using f22 after using Ubuntu for a number of years, and I was particularly impressed by its package management. I personally find yum/dnf easier to use than apt and slightly more transparent. F24 has been an exceptional release and I look forward to running 25 on a pi.

Hopefully we'll have a Pi with better IO by the time it releases. :)
"the only recourse is to make everything offensive illegal."

Alternatively, you could recognize that there is no right to not be offended.

There are ~7 billion other people out there, a solid majority of whom likely hold one or more views that you would find offensive (and who find one or more of your views offensive in turn).
