Fair 'nuff. But let me ask you this: will those managers ask them to use a language without a high-quality open-source implementation? And if you look at the most popular languages out there (and even many of the fringe ones) the answer is probably not.

Why do you think Seattle's growth in housing costs is sustainable? Certainly the cost increases in single family detached units have been large and rapid. My naive interpretation of that would be that such increases are a) unlikely to continue indefinitely and b) are pushing demand for 2+br apartments to unusually high levels. That's weakly supported by this data, which show a 6.4% increase in 1br prices and 8.2% for larger units. Of course, many other markets have completely taken single family detached off the table, so maybe I'm not making an apples to apples comparison.
> my rule of thumb is that anything that can be done inside the database should be done inside the database

For non-distributable (or at least non-multi-master) DBs, you are often using your most expensive and least distributable resource to do your cheapest and most distributable work. My rule of thumb is that unless you need atomicity or the performance (as profiled) makes a real difference, do it outside the DB. Also has the side effect of avoiding system lock-in (at the expense of language lock-in which I think is ok).

Granted, it's subjective, but I've had the most trouble scaling DBs than other systems, and it's usually CPU/mem of business logic pushing the boundaries.

For historical perspective - when I first moved out to the Bay Area in 2009, I paid $900/month for a master bedroom + private bath in a 3BR townhome, in Mountain View. My roommates paid $650/month.

If you've never been through a downturn in the Bay Area, you'll be amazed at how low prices can go (and also at how many people can become unemployed and move back to where they came from).

I think it's important to point out that the big problem here is the rate of change of the system, which is now pinned as having been faster than it's ever been in tens of millions of years.

If climate change was slow enough and withheld within the parameters of the chemical processes that biological systems work with, this would be a non-issue. But the rate of change is too high for civilization and for ecosystems to adapt and create the necessary buffers.

For a while I saw AMDs APUs recommended quite a bit for cheap HTPCs and light gaming machines.
I personally would recommend developing games in C++ for both platforms. You're not going to be heavily using any of the APIs that necessitate using Obj-C or Java. It's just OpenGL ES and other low level APIs. Additionally, it's easy to port between iOS and Android and you can use a much wider variety of libraries.
A whole bunch of big new 'luxury' rental buildings have flooded the market in my area of Brooklyn, and the 'free rent' concessions they're offering–especially with a bit of negotiation–are substantial. Some friends of mine recently moved into one (with a few months free rent), and it's shocking how few apartments have been rented despite how long the building has been available.

The effects of these buildings coming online have been noticeable in my nearby neighborhood: two apartments in my 6 unit building that otherwise would have been rented in a matter of days sat empty for several months until they lowered the asking rent multiple times, I got an immediate 'yes' to a lowball counter when it came time to re-sign our lease, and the number of nearby 1 bedroom listings under $3k has multiplied dramatically since the last time I was searching for a new apartment.
Yeah, but that happened slowly enough that species adapted. This is going far, far too rapidly.

I'm not sure about the performance differences, but there was a different reason that kept me away from switching to Unity. I've built a couple games in SpriteKit doing it entirely programmatically in code and realized Unity is not setup to work that way at all. If you have experience using SpriteKit Scene Editor then you might not be bothered by that, but I was. Instead of Unity I'm using MonoGame now since it is meant to build the game using just code and I find it was a lot easier to jump into using my existing knowledge from SpriteKit
Even if it doesn't beat it, it will probably be within 10% of its performance or within 10-15% of its power consumption. But for half the price, it seems like a no-brainer. I'm hoping they can do something similar with their APUs, too. It could really bring back AMD chips in notebooks in a big way if they sold quad-cores for similar single-thread performance, but same price as Intel's dual cores. You'd basically get twice the chip for the same price.

I also hope they streamline their branding (yes, again). At least with Intel you kind of know which chip is which (no thanks to Intel, which is trying to make things ever more confusing with each generation) because Intel's chips are much more popular. But AMD can't use confusing numbers and brand names and expect people to understand what they are. People need to get what their brand model represents just by reading it.

Interesting idea, isn't it? I suspect that many of the failure modes you'd want to test would require a full re-do of the election, at least at the level of the precinct. I don't know how tolerant the population would be. Though I encourage you to follow through and see what you come up with :) I'd be interested to read about it.
This was my initial thought too, and I haven't read the full text, but from the abstract it seems they demonstrate causality in the other direction.
Our application uses JSON throughout, and i've found the JSON functions in postgres to be invaluable!

I recently refactored several functions which kind of organically grew from several different functions each with it's own SQL query into one big query.

Not only did performance increase by a significant amount, the whole function is basically just "run this query and return the result" as the JSON functions in postgres allow me to leave the actual processing in the database and to not have to do the always annoying "loop over the 30,000 rows that were returned to build a JSON file" thing which is never fast.

I downvoted because the comment wasn't a response to the article, nor did it really seem to be responding to other comments. I agree that many people make the same complaint you do, claiming that many downvoters are simply disagreeing with content. You might want to consider topicality, too.
I think its important to note that they didn't end up this way because they were stupid or power hungry.

Like alot of companies, they made decisions that made sense at the time that ended up having poor long term consequences.

When they decided to really grow it was due to a couple of things..

1) Their competitors were all doing the same thing and they almost needed to grow their investment arm and international presence just to stay in business.

It used to be that Audi, Porchse etc would come to them for basic loans etc and business was good. But as these firms grew internationally they also needed a bank that did the same.

Audi sells in Brazil it needs a bank with a presence there as well. And along comes the big american and European banks who start selling themselves to Deutsche's current clients as a one stop shop who can do what Deutsche does but also all these new things that international modern companies need.

A company needs to get a currency or interest rate swap, well Goldman Sachs can do that, so Deutsche followed suit.

From this perspective its easy to see how they started down the road they did.

And once you start building out a international team of investment bankers and traders that means you're now competing for talent with the rest of the big players.

So how do you hire the best traders/investment bankers?

You pay them like everyone else does, which is to say you have to pay them..... alot.

You have to provide perks like New York/London/Tokyo offices and the ability to trade the hottest products and markets.

You need to let your traders make money like other firms do or they'll just leave for those other firms.

All just to keep your existing clients.

And before long you are just like everyone else.

Then in the mid 2000's during a huge bull market you have one of wall streets stars Boaz Weinstien (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boaz_Weinstein or read "The Quants") running your derivatives desk. And they made money hand over fist..... at the time.

Now the funny thing about bull markets, is that even bad trades can make money during them because everything is up and to the right.

And even if you think you are putting on too much exposure, tough, remember that so is everyone else and if you stop, then the good traders and bankers quit and go to competitors who will let them make money.

It's sort of like raising money as a startup in frothy markets. You'd just better raise money because if you don't and all your competitors raise 20 million then even if you're better they'll often win because they can survive longer than you.

It just happens that Deutsche didn't quite understand the game that was eing played, and when the music stopped, they were holding the bag so to speak.
I think it's worth to book a bit ahead if that means you can save that much money. E.g. book the flights ahead of time and then still spend a few weeks at every destination. This itinerary is meant to take like 2-3 months. You can still go to all the little towns and villages. But it might make sense to fly into the cities to score the cheap deals. And if you're on such a tight budget just don't stay in super expensive places like London or Paris (just use them as connection hubs...)
All I want to do with this itinerary is show the economies of traveling in Europe e.g. flying from London to Linz and not to Vienna which will cost you 5 times as much. Or flying from Rome to Barcelona instead of Zurich to Barcelona lets say.
If you want to be pedantic, this isn't quite right either. CoreAnimation does some work on the main thread to encode layer properties and send them to the render server, which is in another process, not another thread.

The important part isn't the amount of work it takes to render, it's that event handling is serialized with all the other stuff happening on the main thread.

From the article:

There they list Wikileaks as "Russian Propaganda," what the WaPo called in their article "Fake News."

Look into whether you might have anterior pelvic tilt (APT), what I call "sitting disease," which causes your hips to tilt forward, making you look like you have a big ol' gut. This is caused by the sitting position (simplified) stretching out your backside and not stretching your frontside. When you have a more neutral posture, your silhouette is much less "heavy" looking. That is, it may not be that you have weight to lose so much as you at a normal weight looks worse than it is.

At any rate, dieting will involve more than switching to coke zero. :)
You don't believe morality exists, or is that a fancy way of saying "I don't have morals?" Because the welfare and healthcare system you are looking forward to live off exists only because of morals.
>One of the main benefits of OOP is of course "polymorphism" (abstract base classes, interfaces), so naming any concrete class a "strategy" does seem a bit redundant.

There are no abstract classes in JS: there doesn't need to be.

Anyways, that's not what I mean: I was talking about the Strategy design pattern, which is actually a way of implementing higher order functions in languages that don't have them: thus, implementing classes for it in JS would be very silly indeed.

As for Kay's vision of OO, it involves not only everything being an object, but extreme late binding. Java has neither.
We are using Liquibase to manage the SQL code in the database as a separate GIT repository from the several applications that use the database. We have a dev database, and are beginning to use pgTAP for SQL unit tests. Code review for the SQL comes from BitBucket. GitHub works similarly for code review. The SQL code can be versioned and deployed as changesets either ins synchronization with an app change if that is appropriate, or separately. If you also embrace the concept of "database refactoring" then there is less need for migrations in lockstep with an app deploy.

So, putting some of the business logic into the database can be done using modern development best practices.

Yes there are switching costs and it means that developers need to really learn SQL and PostgreSQL's advanced features but it pays off. And if you break the lockstep of db migrations and application deployments then you can easily have people specialize by language.

In fact, I would say that the era of the DBA is fading and what we really need are devops developers with a strong understanding of PostgreSQL who can do db architecture, db engineering, db design, and SQL coding/refactoring.

Probably my perspective is different from a lot of people because I worked many years in large ISPs where Network Engineering folks designed everything, built it in test labs, verified everything, documented how to deploy and then handed it over to an Operations team that actually set up the routers and installed the configuration code. I don't see coding as the top of the pyramid. Instead it is Engineering Design and Architecture of applications that we should all aspire to.
To me that sounds like you're the target market for what was the Air, or what is now the MacBook.

Sure. There are any number of ways that climate change could destroy civilization. It could do it directly. For example, weather could get so extreme that it could directly destroy our infrastructure faster than we can rebuild it. Weather anomalies could destroy our ability to produce enough food to feed everyone. A catastrophic melting of the Greenland ice cap could raise sea levels to the point where all of the world's coastal cities would be inundated, and it could happen much faster than we could rebuild elsewhere (to say nothing of the fact that global commerce currently depends crucially on stable coast lines so we can have ports).

But much more likely is not the direct destruction of civilization, but rather increased political and economic tensions leading to nuclear war. Climate change is going to lead to a global game of musical chairs as the world's powers vie for ownership of what used to be arctic tundra but is soon to be prime farmland, or what used to be polar ice cap and is soon to be rich oil fields. People are already starting to quibble over who owns the northwest passage (is it an international waterway, or does it belong to Canada?) That didn't matter when you couldn't get through because it was filled with ice. When the ice clears and it becomes a prime shipping route, it matters a lot.

This was a study in mice.

That doesn't mean it's not legit research, but one should put this in perspective. At best this can give hints for further research. It's very far fetched to make statements about effects in humans based on mice studies.
Oh, yes.

By the way, there is nothing like Scheme + Emacs for interactive development. You can write functions, execute a buffer, and perform your data manipulations in real time, patching your functions as you go.

I've seen a lot of news online about how great these Zen CPUs are going to be, matching Intel's i7-5960X. But I don't get the excitement, it seems like AMD is two+ years behind Intel [1].

Intel® Core™ i7-5960X Processor Extreme Edition
(20M Cache, up to 3.50 GHz)

Launch Date	Q3'14

Sure, it's half the price. But what if the 5960X is twice the price because Zen isn't released yet? Intel don't have much of an incentive to lower the price until Zen launches, and with their economies of scale it's likely they could price match (or lower) and still rake in $$.

I'd be curious to know what the breaking point is for luxury condo developers, i.e. how far do prices need to sink before they're in trouble? As an extension of that, who are the investors that will take the hit?

Presumably, the capital put down for the construction of these condos gives landlords and developers a hard floor on the prices they can accept. Is their solvency dependent upon charging luxury rents, or could they get by leasing at more moderate rates?
Sad to see all these "I get used to it", we spend money to enjoy, not to make ourselves suffer...
I'm not so sure it would need to be that drastic.

If I get a "stamp of approval" to tamper with a voting machine, I could get to the point of being able to tamper, but not do anything. Or I could (if it was safe to do so) have it add 30,000 votes to a false candidate. It would be similar to how "white hat" hackers need to be able to show a POC but not actually do any harm.

Hell even having "false elections" could be a useful first step.

It wouldn't be perfect, but it could at least start figuring out where the weakness are.
That is so dumb
it was easier to just walk away and let the building rot than to take any action to repair it and continue to collect rent-controlled rents.

My parents and I lived in a rent-controlled apt in Manhattan in the early 1970s. Rent was $80/month. The 1973 oil embargo happened and heating oil prices went up. Oh, did I forget to mention that the $80 rent included heat?!!!!

Basically things were so bad for the landlord that it cost as much to heat the average apt in the building as that apt paid in rent. Clearly not a sustainable situation.

We moved out of the city the next year. But in retrospect we should have bought our apt (for about $7,000) when the building went coop/condo.

So the tenants not only enjoyed below market rents for decades, but after the landlord was bled dry they were able buy their apts for a pittance.

Hmmm ... 12 apts, maybe two voters each, vs an older couple, the landlords, only two votes. I wonder why rent control existed for so long? (that was sarcasm, I know exactly why it existed!).

As Maggie Thatcher said, the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money. I'm sure the tenants saw some large cost increases once they went coop, because now they had to pay 100% of all the building costs. But that only moved them into fair value territory. All the money they "stole" from the old landlord in the previous decades would never be paid back.
That is bull crap
