This is wrong. It's the tech industry. The world changes fast and requires companies to make big bets if they want to stay on top.
One word of warning about choosing a partitioning scheme: if you select something like customer (as recommended in the article's example), you might get to a point down the road where you realize that some customers are much, _much_ bigger than other customers. This can put you in an awkward place as a single tenant is approaching the bounds of their shard because you may not have a lot of choice but to figure out how to further subpartition their data.

That said, per-customer/user partitioning might still be your best bet given the advantages that it conveys around isolation. If I understand correctly, Citus can guarantee atomicity, consistency, and isolation (ACI*) within a transaction localized to any single partition which is a _huge_ benefit for building apps that are more tolerant to failure and problematic edge cases with very little effort on your part (compare this to Mongo, which in its latest versions is just starting to give you the "consistency" part and nothing else).

Anyway, nice work from the Citus team!

Tim Cook has always been an efficiency expert. He is the master of supply chain management and logistics. He is perfect for operations and everything related to cost management. However, do his skills translate to the visionary tasks expected of the CEO? I understand he's delegated these tasks to others, but ultimately, these delegates have failed. Either Cook needs to find better visionaries, or step down, because Apple is completely rudderless as a purveyor of EXCITING consumer products. It's becoming more like LG, Samsung and Lenovo - a boring derivative consumer electronics product company.

The point being made is your house is on fire and the firefighters show up with an ice cream cone. It's a lovely gesture in the right context, but we've got way bigger problems at hand.

In every market segment Apple plays in they're facing incredibly stiff and in many cases, superior competition. To make matters worse Apple "playbook", that attention to detail, the advertisements, etc -- yes it's taken a while but it's been mostly cracked. To be clear that's good for any of us who've been fans of that book, but it's absolutely not good for Apple should they choose to remain stagnant.

The result is a situation where Apple's hard won customers -- like me -- are looking to other companies and they're "speaking our language", offering products and services that are on-par and in many cases, simply better.

And it's not just desktop -- Siri is stagnant/broken, the iOS App Store is a mess, Email, on and on.

My point is at a time where competition and strategic advantages are under incredible stress, where incredibly obvious mistakes are being made in core product lines, Apple releases an outrageously high-priced picture book. It's totally fine, understandable, admirable even, if you think all's going well, but I do not think things are going well.
That's the point I was making. That for most consumers a security breach isn't viewed the same as an E.Coli outbreak. Although the likelihood of you catching E.Coli is less than 1% the resulting impact was huge. Meanwhile like you mentioned there have been a number of large retailers where your likelihood of having your data compromised was well over 50% and people didn't react at all.
People are all up in arms about headphone jacks, USB-C, and dongles. When the real issue is Apple completely missing huge new markets.

Apple had Siri out and was in the lead with voice control, then they wasted it. I never use Siri, she is nearly worthless, but I do use Alexa multiple times a day. Amazon is Leading the voice assistant market, and Google is right on their heels.

Home automation was supposed to get better with HomeKit but arrived basically stalled. They announced all these partners and sold their products at the Apple Store. Then when HomeKit finally was ready none of those products worked with HomeKit. You had to buy newer versions that had some proprietary Apple chip in it.

Apple's cloud offering is confusing and hard to manage, also it doesn't work with other platforms besides their own. Amazon and Google both do this much better.

AppleTv is a great product but Apple can't seem to really work with partners to make it actually innovative. The TV app is a cool idea, but I've yet to find any reason to actually use it.

It just seems like they've been wondering aimlessly and dropping half products out there then never iterating and finishing them. Is there some other hidden project (car?) taking all their top talent? Is there some sort of corporate culture issue that has driven all the best and brightest brightest elsewhere? Is there a lot of mismanagement and mixed signals coming down from above?

I'm not exactly sure. Most of the recent "1-A" SEC Forms filed only have US States listed under "Jurisdictions in Which Securities are to be Offered" https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=&CIK=&type=...

There may be some other section that addresses the international portion of the offering. All of the companies going through Reg A+ have lawyers familiar with it writing these filings and telling the company what they should and shouldn't do. If you find one you want to invest in, your best bet is contacting the Company's Investor Relations department and they'll let you know.
NoScript by default blocks third-party scripts (of which this site has plenty). In this instance it's some JS from shopify that's required for basic functionality.
Thank you! I used to go to www.marca.com for that same purpose, but this is much lighter and is easy to remember.
The only thing that makes Firefox take up more than Chrome for me is the Web Developer toolbar. Aside from that, I use the bookmark bar on both, and they are exactly the same height.

It's more that a lot of the work people admire was done before or close to the acquisition date and therefore probably should be credited to Sun.

That said, I'm not sure why things like speculative execution in the JVM context get such play as dark magic when it seems like the JVM and CLR are pretty neck-and-neck in terms of deliverable performance when we get down to the level where we're not affected by larger architectural differences.

There are a lot of different ways to get high performance code from a VM environment. But to hear many people tell it the JVM is the only competent one. I'm just not sure the evidence bears that out.
Vim for Rust and C, with just the Rust syntax highlighting plugin (I have Racer installed but don't tend to use it). It's lightweight and gets out of my way when editing text.

Visual Studio 2015 for C++, with the VsVim addon. I mostly use C++ for Windows-specific APIs and toolchain, so autocomplete and MSBuild are nice to have.
This is not an all or nothing issue. For example, if you store sensitive videos, but rely on Dropbox's ability to transcode and preview the video in a web browser, then something like Cryptomater would not make sense. Encrypting on wire/at rest is the best you can do unless you run the transcoding yourself.

Dropbox could support both modes, but the company has obviously made a decision to prioritize one over the other (at least for now).
corrected, thank you!
Went to medical school. It's about as much fun as going to medical school can be, but I'm much happier than I was in software (I think?).
Focused, neighborhood context-sensitive and environmentally conscious real estate development. The goal would be to replace the typical boring stick-built midrise, minimal setback, blank sided commercial and residential you see being built in most cities. With a stated goal of providing space for existing businesses being displaced by the new development as well as public spaces when possible.

Yeah, my returns wouldn't necessarily be as high, but at least it would improve the neighborhood without unduly displacing the things that made the neighborhood desirable in the first place. Or being a generic, overpriced pile of blank like most modern pop-up construction.
This is great! It's like bugtesting the anonymity cloak. Keep the bug reports coming and we will keep patching it :)
There's no need for any of this. DEF diesel engines already go into limp mode not long after the fluid runs dry (after ignoring many warnings). There are sensors such that just replacing with any arbitrary diesel-compatible fluid won't fool it (thought that would be stupid to do). And most states have annual inspections that include emissions, you would not pass with a dry Adblue tank. No need for dramatic exhaust; the cops can run your plates and see your inspection is expired.

I like it, especially the colors. Would have added some margin to the top, though. But very pleasant.

I recently rebuilt my blog and used similar ideas; minimal CSS, no JavaScript, static site generator. It's actually interesting to see that some (front-end) developers tend to have very minimalistic sites.

Also, like a certain other genre (which I won't name in order to avoid more down-votes from offended fans), it has a habit of being mixed into other genres like a low quality spirit mixer...

Deep-Learning Beauty Contest: Picked Nearly All White Winners
You can get started fairly easily. Take a sailing course that gives you a recognized certificate. For example, the RYA "Competent Crew" or "Day skipper". Different countries have different certifications that are recognized worldwide. The UK Royal Yachting Association (RYA) is definitely one of them, and you can do these courses in lots of sail training facilities across Europe.

From there you can jump on almost any boat delivery crew with a bit of luck.

Most rich boat owners don't want to sail their yachts across large bodies of water, so they employ delivery crews. Normally they employ an experienced captain and the captain hires his/her own crew.

Boats are normally moved during the spring months from Europe to the Caribbean, specifically for the start of the season for Antigua Race Week, which I believe takes place in April/May. They normally head out from the Mediterranean via the Canary Islands to cross the Atlantic.

Common places to jump on board are where yachts have been kept or serviced over the winter. Common ports include places like Palma de Mallorca, which is full of "boaties" looking to get a place on a yacht crossing. You hang out in the "boaty bars" and see if you can hook yourself a ride by chatting to people. There are also a number of internet forums, but you'll get better luck face to face, and you'll spend a number of weeks with these people in close confinement, so you'll want to know what they are like beforehand.

As you get more experienced and depending on the boat you could try to get taken on permanently by the owner. The pay on the super yachts of the super rich can be insanely high, especially for experienced captains, chefs and engineers - monthly 5 figures if you are really good. That being said the super rich can be complete assholes, who can start throwing the carefully presented lobster dish back in your face because it wasn't the right colour, or you forgot to make sure the wine fridge was stocked with enough Dom Perignon P3 Plenitude Brut.

I've heard some wonderful stories of the super rich from boaties. It's a crazy life.

Annecdotally, I know 2 long time iPhone users who I helped switch over to a Google Pixel and both of them have been happy. I've been surprised how little they complained or asked questions about anything after 5 minutes of android training.
Elixir with Phoenix. I've already started and I really like it. I'm currently writing a Mix task to get my first "real" application with Elixir. I'm also working on a production site using Elixir and Phoenix as a contractor and will most likely take it over permanently once it is finished.
It is not your intelligence that is being questioned but the President-elect.
I don't think he was responsible for the 20th Anniversary Mac, which was released in March 1997. Apple bought NeXT in february 1997, and Jobs only be became de facto chief of Apple after Amelio was ousted in July 1997.

Don't forget all the criticism towards MBP 2016.

> So I ask again? Why benefit is Apple gaining keeping him on?

Who says they aren't, or won't? This is what is publicly seen as a slap on the wrist.

It is a smart way to perform damage control. It is basically saying to the criticism towards Apple [from both shareholders as well as users]: "we know, we screwed up, you are right" without going into detail on who or what is exactly right.

>I swore I'd never buy a mac when I was 10 because the mouse had only 1 button

It's not like "the more the better".

Macs still did right click context menus (it's Control + click), and of course could accommodate two and three button mice just fine and use all of their buttons.

One button mice also meant that all apps were designed to be more usable with one button operation (and interactions like drag etc) compared to merely stuffing important stuff in context menus.

> Ports aren't really an issue to me...in a couple of years everything will be USB-C and/or wireless charging/headphones anyway.

Everything new maybe, but old audio gear, monitors/tvs/keyboards/drives, et c stick around a hell of a long time. I'll be surprised if my family's at more than 20% of peripherals, displays, and audio equipment on bluetooth/USBC in 5 years, personally. Probably more like 5-10%. 10 years? That's another story. Assuming the standard hasn't shifted again.
I've been using 80% estimates at Twitch for most of this year. 80% estimates are estimates you expect to beat 80% of the time. We're integrating them into this years annual planning progress, so that all our dates and cost estimates mean the same thing.

I believe they’ll immediately make our estimates 50% better at setting expectations. A standard estimate could be an optimistic goal (30%), likely (50%), conservative (80%), or sandbagged (95%).

And it’s fast. It only takes me 2 minutes to get an engineer to turn a normal estimate into an 80% estimate for the first time (whereas it takes me 30 minutes to help pm’s make their first predictions).
have you ever tried technology sales? i can turn on the social charm like a light switch but it requires significant effort so i wasn't able to do it long term but it might be a good transition for you.

One thing to note is that "premium" names for those 88 cent domains are not 88 cents. I forgot what I searched but it was one of the 88 cent TLDs and it ended up being $32/yr (at least) and some were even higher.
Not really, it was a joke. But I commented as such, then that comment started getting down-votes, so I assume the people who down-voted the above comment weren't yet satisfied I'd been down-voted enough...

Terminal performance is fine at smaller sizes and with less going on.

In a multi-pane tmux window with vim, performance issues start to become noticeable. Many people I've talked to have experienced a situation where a bunch of output is being written to the screen, they panic to hit C-c, and then all you can do is wait for it to finish. This just isn't an issue with Alacritty.

Alacritty is about having tools that don't get in your way and don't distract you from what you're trying to accomplish.
I use the Home Edition which I bought for just under $300 a while back.

It is a great mathematics playground, although, concerns over being able to peer review the engine or calcs in the software are valid, not for what I use it for.

It is like Emacs for me. I leave it open all day, and just play around in it. The multiple programming paradigms are fun too for coding practice.
When the original Indiegogo campaign launched I was sold, and it has been a pleasant ride since. I have funded a couple crowd-source campaigns, and several have been alarmingly stale in their updates - while the Daskeyboard team has provided routine updates, previews, and expectations.

Any device that is listening all the time can be storing and sending anything you said. How would you know if it's encrypted?

There has GOT TO BE a better way. Such as a filter made by independent manufacturers that opens the sound channel only when you say a specific phrase such as "OK Google" and closes it when you press a button or stop speaking. And an indicator would be visible when it's actually listening.

The question is, how to prevent collusion with the independent filter companies? There has to be SOME WAY to open source hardware and prevent companies from essentially performing their own interdiction on it:

It's not 15% when you already have a gasoline vehicle that you propose to discard. It's 115%, because the alternative is to keep what you have. You can't unproduce what you have.

Keep old car: 0% the emissions of producing it

Buy new gasoline car: 100% the emissions to produce it

Buy new electric car: 115% the emissions to produce a gasoline car
I became a full time father and results have been stellar. My boy is now one year old and turns out to be very clever... And very strong. He could crawl at seven months and started to learn how to walk at 11 months. His first word was 'hunger' (in Dutch, it sounds virtually the same) at two months, maybe it was imaginative but he was happy to eat after we we heard him say it, haha. Now he can also say 'mama' and 'papa', but it appears that he is deferring the rest of his vocal development until later because he can manage fine by using the Dutch equivalent words for 'that' ('die', sounds like 'thee') and 'food' ('eten', sounds like 'aitan').

His mother is happy that she can focus on her career while leaving him in my care at home, although it's harder than she imagined because she does miss us dearly while away from home and is counting the hours at work... probably because we're two very cool froods (wink). After the infamous initial "post-natal bumpy ride" our relationship is back where it used to be - at 100%.

I'm the happiest man ever and wouldn't want it any other way.
Very helpful words from someone who has been there and done it. I am not sure if distribution woes are as bad as I hear they are. With transparent platforms like https://studios.amazon.com/ it seems to me (from far) that ease of distribution is at its best too. I don't think it is still easy, but is it not easier than it was say 10-20 years ago?

Not sure about the impact that will have, but my family and friends are doubling down on Apple purchases, so our anecdotes probably cancel each other out.

Hyper: Elegant Weapons for a More Civilized Page
Left the industry after 15 years, bought a garden store with existing customers and an online site. The freedom and family time was nice but burned through my savings and sold one of my paid off cars to pay the mortgage. Had a second child and needed to get back into the industry after 3 years. Sold the store, broke even, and went back to the 9-5.

This time the exit is being more thoughtfully executed. While making a good salary, I am slowly buying rental properties. Up to 3 so far. Fingers crossed that the second time is a charm.

Many in the industry say an IT job comes with golden handcuffs. Most other professions don't pay as good. IT workers often times make what management from other departments make.
