No, once you have a significant joint problem (from running or anything else) running is never going to help and will probably make things worse. Cycling possibly too, depending on the problem.

Swimming is probably the thing to go for in such circumstances. While some problems make that difficult too, it doesn't have the impact or strain (depending on stroke) of other options.

They were, but not because they had spice. They had spice long before they became a bloody warring bunch. The interplanetary jihad was at the behest of Paul Muad'dib. The Spartan and militant culture that existed before Muad'dib was mostly out of self preservation in the face of a brutal Arrakis environment and colonial oppression.

So far there is no reason to think that superintelligence (i.e. not just cheap, abundant general human-level intelligence) is possible at all. It has to be qualitatively superior.

There's only so much you can solve by throwing more hardware/money at the problem. We have reached a point where we are wasting too much of this, so adding more won't help much.

These days asking questions of an expert usually gets you a response of JFGI, but learning used to be equal parts "learning the actual thing" and "having fun and stimulating conversations with like-minded people" so without the latter, curiosity is less rewarding these days. That's why it's important for those with knowledge to give back to the community by giving of their time. CoderDojo for example

Having said that, learning has ALWAYS involved a lot of solitude and independent research - it's just that "levelling up" used to REQUIRE asking other people for advice, input and tips, whereas with the Internet it's practically expected for people to never ask for help.

Basically, back in the old days, a novice asking "explain this to me" was met with "ah! a fellow academic! how rare! OK here's how it is" whereas today it's met with "google exists for a reason".

MVNO Buys Access to a Mobile Network Operator (MNO) Radio Access Network (RAN)
It may. The real question in my opinion is: What kind of replication we need?

We want to replicate just to being sure that the data is safe? Then really you could simply stream to all the replicas what happens to the master.

You want to increase read performance? Then you first start caching result, then you start stream to slave and only make read from them.

You want to increase write performace? That is quite a bad beast. You start by making the single instance as fast as possible (96k insert per second [1]) then you pretty much hit the ceiling in my opinion.

You could partition the SQL tables, but then what happens to joins and select? They must go over the network (high latency), spot distributed deadlock (highly variable latency) and it start to become an huge complex project.

A Simple Keylogger for Windows, Linux and Mac on GitHub
Honestly, I never knew the size of the divide (or that it existed) between the enterprise development community and the open source development community. I've only now started to notice it as I pay attention to Rust's build systems get designed, and other details around the Rust community evolve.

I find it fascinating that lessons aren't being learned from build systems which are built in the enterprise like Bazel, Pants, etc (honestly, I'm disappointed one of those two wasn't just adopted by the Rust community - unclear but I think they didn't know about them?).

Similarly, notice how "Java shops" have for many years enforced ever increasingly complex build pipelines (Javadoc, Junit, JaCoCo, Findbugs, ...). But these tools are slow, end up with long standing bugs when versions bump, and generally end up limited.

I find it fascinating however, that only two of the above steps (Docs, Tests) are first class in Rust. Why only those two? Why not learn from the whole Java build pipeline? Why does the compiler's test infra not spit out metadata about lines/branches covered? Why is clippy, like Findbugs, separate from the compiler? Isn't "better code" by definition better for everyone.

It should be relatively easy for these to be built into the compiler. While some like test coverage data is really hard to get as separate tool (especially when optimizations are on). However, Rust developers have valid points like "separation of concerns". Its hard to argue with them, after all we are only on the sidelines, they are actually in the thick of it. But again, there just seems to be a divide, and its interesting to see which features/lessons are adopted, vs which features/lessons are "not worth the trouble".

FWIW (my stab at a reason for this divide), I think its largely a problem of peers. In the enterprise, you work with great developers and you work with not so great developers. Most of these are fresh college/code-bootcamp developers but there are some rare bad experienced developers. At least in the field of building languages (maybe open source in general) you get to be very selective. Essentially, you only get peers who are experts (even if some of them do start off making changes while in college or without any formal education - also keep in mind the selection bias of people curious and motivated to help a project they aren't being paid for). Compounded with few strict deadlines, this basically means everyone is on their A-game all the time. eg. "Why would you need metrics about how many lines+branches of code are tested? and you want to potentially fail the build if it doesn't meet some threshold?? Some things are hard to test! Shouldn't the implementor get to decide how much testing is the appropriate amount of testing?"

P.S. Please, anyone, correct me where I'm wrong. I too am on only one side of this divide.

With responsive design - that adapts to your viewer, their bandwidth, their device (and orientation), their add-ons (eg uBlock/ABP) - WYSIWYG rather starts to lose meaning. I'd warrant it's easier to design in the abstract than moving elements and watching 5, 20, 100, ... different views to see what your page visitor might see.

Now add in progressive enhancement.

We're not dealing with the largely fixed desktop viewport anymore.

That I suspect is why WYSIWYG hasn't taken off, Dreamweaver did quite well, but then the web ran away to multi-platform as the default.

The biggest exposed fault on Earth
Having been a tutor of first-year beginner programming students many years ago, my experience has been that its not quite as simple as this.

The number of people who forgot even the most simple syntax rules towards the end of the semester, even after having shown them during each lab session, was surprisingly high.

You tell them that the computer is super dumb and pedantic and they understand this. So you tell them the rules (semi colon at the end of line perhaps) and they understand. Then an hour later and they're staring blankly at the screen wondering why they got the exact same error again.

Obviously not all students are like this and almost all did get it after a while, but you'll be repeating your statement to them enough times that you wished the language didn't have whatever warts is causing the confusion.

I found Java particularly bad, because you have to tell beginners to ignore 90% of the hello world program (class ... public static void main ... - you have to tell them "hey, ignore class, public, static, void etc for now, we will cover it later"), which isn't satisfying at all and in my experience caused more confusion still...

Yes, you've got to treat it as a learning experience, but the students usually see it as a roadblock and cause of frustration. Often one that doesn't make sense to them and they question why its even a thing. ("why can I use '_' in identifiers and not '-'?", not too hard to explain of course but its yet another bit of incidental complexity to them)
The popular vote does not matter. 1-2000000 of the popular votes could have just moved from NY, SF and LA to the rust belt and this would have made all the difference.

The big corporations with democratic leaning CEO could have moved investment and jobs there.

You could have moved a lot of federal jobs there too.

And with them will come the people that will guarantee better demographic distribution.

The US election system is on the stupider side IMO, but a candidate cannot lose the popular vote, because such thing as popular vote does not exist.

Please define "nothing" in your sentence. Lots of countries have been dealing with welfare spending recently due to general aging in their population. If we live two dozen more years that means someone will have to pay for those retirements. I don't know where you live but most developed or developing nations have some sort of government-sponsored retirement/age pension system or welfare program they have to maintain (and is usually paid by the working force alive today).

You gotta be kidding. Haven't you ever considered what would happen if a good chunk of the world population magically started to live by the wasteful and consumption driven standards most developed countries have, like the US or Japan (or even Russia)? We still have margin for more people in the planet but certainly not with the so called "developed countries" way of life (energy-wise, amount of garbage produced, pollution emissions etc).

OK
127.0.0.1:6379> REDISQL.EXEC "SELECT * FROM text_search;"
1) 1) "hello"
2) 1) "banana"
3) 1) "apple"
4) 1) "anana"

1) 1) "apple"
2) 1) "anana"
Nothing to do with this project per se, but I still do not understand the deal with material design on the web.

This doesn't make sense. By that logic, a lithium battery the size of a house wouldn't be able to power an LED.

If you have two lithium batteries which are identical with the exception that one is double the capacity, the larger battery will be able to provide double the current at the same voltage and thus double the power. Lithium batteries are rated for current draw as a multiple of their capacity.

Why is it stupid, dangerous and short sighted? People say those things about cloud vendor locking like it's a obvious truth. I really annoyed by this arrogance among my systems minded peer group.

I get where this comes from, but it's too simplistic. Even if your build close around the AWS primitives, why is it harder to migrate away from this when necessary than building the alternative yourself from before you can proof your business or build any MVP.

I'd say use whatever service you helps to get your product out there fast and allows you to iterate quickly. This will also free time to consider your long term options.

The primitives and constraints imposed by a cloud provider often make your life easier even if you migrate to bare metal or another cloud.

I'd even go so far to argue the other way around: You get away with way shittier, less future proof design when running on bare metal and have a ops team taking care of your pets. Not being able to move that to a cloud, private or public, would concern me most.
A startup that can't iterate quickly enough will die by a thousand cuts, and it will be hard to say exactly what killed it. I'd certainly think using github can extend your runway by 5-10% (just in terms of how much time it saves we as a developer), and in a certain proportion of cases that will be the difference between success and failure.
I know very well (from personal experience and observing close acquaintances) that conditions like ADHD can, at times, make it very difficult to function in modern society.

But the fact that these traits are so widespread means they must have an evolutionary purpose.

And of course we can see that many highly talented and successful people are diagnosed with ADHD and related conditions, but are able to use their traits to great advantage.

Others cannot, but that's not because it's impossible, they just haven't been given the right support and opportunity to make best use of their natural cognitive preferences.

This is not at all to say that those diagnosed with ADHD shouldn't be given support, treatment or any other help they need to get by in life.

But the claim that ADHD isnt an alternative evolutionary pathway, nor is it part of the "healthy mixture" of society doesn't fit with accepted evolutionary theory, nor empirical evidence.
