Aha.

Then you might get a license from me. And if you haven't tested with the HN dataset that is where I would start.

I was confused by the original post because a) I'm not sure why using SQLite makes comments into 'not big data' (is it extraordinarily hard to get statistical information out of SQLite or something?)

No, getting data out of SQLite is easy. But I have yet to hear anyone using SQLite for anything that would be called big data in a way that makes sense. (Yes, my previous employers file share where we could upload 5GB files doesn't qualify.)

I think the comment on the website is supposed to be funny in a bitter way.

and b) even if a blog or website is completely private, might not the owner want to analyze what's going on within the private social network they've created?

I have yet to manage to think of a private website that might contain enough non-spam comments to qualify as big data.

And for small and medium size data plain SQLite is wonderful : )

What I and others are skeptical to is REAL big data, where certain companies scoop up everything they can get their hands on. This is an often dirty, potentially really harmful raw material as we have seen in articles about the moderation teams that makes sure Facebook and others stays reasonably clean.

With a little bit of processing this "nuclear waste" is also possible to weaponize. Two ideas off the top of my head:

- Facebook and others can easily name thousands of people who waste their employers time during the day.

- or post a number of people who run pseudonymous accounts for various reasons but have failed to maintain proper opsec.
I never said there was something wrong. I simply pointed out that it took 3 times in 24 hours before the story gained traction. It was an interesting story. I'm glad it finally got traction.
I don't think you realize how rude you're being.

I am being what I need to be. I find it remarkable that some people are receiving this information and prioritizing protecting their ego, rather than investigating what motivates such sentiments. Perhaps that difference should be exploited in interviews?

You clearly think that Data Structures 101 is important knowledge, to the point of saying that most software project failures are caused by lack of that knowledge. Others in this thread take a more moderate position.

Let me clarify: I think that Data Structures 101 is important knowledge, to the point of saying that a significant number of software project failures are caused by lack of that knowledge.

Others in this thread take a more moderate position.

They either don't have the knowledge and don't appreciate what they don't know. Classic Dunning-Kruger. Or, they have the knowledge but haven't been in the right kind of projects where someone not knowing really bit them hard. ("It never happened to me, so it must not be that big a deal.")

Find me someone who has the knowledge and who has been "bit hard." You can find them in these threads. Read what they say carefully. It's much more than a matter of opinionated debate.
Yeah, I know, I might be occasionally too cynical.
If I get it correctly HATEOS is about the following:

Say you're building a standardised API (with many consumer implementations _and_ many provider implementations all talking to each other). In that case making stuff like the layout of a url or even the protocol over which the data is retrieved part of the specification is putting a needless strain on your API providers. If an API provider uses a shared webhost or a specific framework he might not be able to follow that structure, or it might be harder then necessary.

If instead, your specification only specifies the document layout (Roy Fielding calls it the "media type") then it's easier for people to implement your api. People usually have full control over the document contents.

If you don't design your API like that it's not a REST Api according to Roy Fielding. If your API is not going to be implemented by many providers and many consumers all talking to each other in countless permutations then there's not much use in following all of REST[1]. (And also not much use in calling your API a rest api)

Of course the word REST now means something else then Roy Fielding intended for it. I have no problem with that. I believe he did at some point.

[1] I don't remember the url or the exact quote, but I believe I read a piece by him where he said literally that REST as he described it is only useful for the many2many consumer/provider use case. I might be mistaken.
I'm tempted to dismiss the Taleb paper as "lies, damned lies, and statistics". It has to do some rather complicated things to reach its conclusion, which correlates well with massaging data to fit an argument, and seeing as there's an academic dispute motivating that argument, there's a circumstantial-evidence case to be made for giving it no further thought.
first you need to be fully verified, so you would need to have at least 5 fully verified users vouch for you. System could also implement limits on how often and how many tomes one can verify other users. last but not least yoy could have cost of verification set very high, ie daily allowance paid by both veifier and the verified to the system to make fake verification costly

Isn't the IPC difference basically 0 and the 7 series only has slightly higher frequencies due to the optimization cycle? So clock for clock 6 and 7 series CPU should yield the same performance.

I should add that the above is the main reason the kaby lake release is so lackluster. There is very little reason to upgrade your desktop to a 7 series (laptops get power optimization and 4k playback support).

It's also the main reason why AMD might look appealing, lack of worthwile upgrade from Intel while AMD delivers twice the cores/threads for not a gread deal more then a 7600K.

But at this point, it's so different and you've added so much work to it, I doubt anyone would recognize it as originally REST. You're basically rewriting GraphQL yourself. And sure, you're allowed to do that, but why?
TypeScript type inference is minimal though and doesn't go very far. It falls back to "any" very quickly (and if you use the noImplicitAny option, then you have to type almost everything).

It does a decent enough job at return types, but not a whole lot beyond that.
Doing something that I love to do, like programming.

The hard part is that it'd greatly reduce my quality of life in the short term (gaining paper credentials, finding a job). Along with the fact that I've never programmed as a profession for someone else, so would I even like it? etc. I've got a cushy job with great pay and retirement, but it's a lousy "legend" to live. Hard to leave, but hate to stay.

With that said it's hard to say, really, what might be concrete in improving the quality of my life. Most likely sticking with meditation for more than 3-5 sessions a year, or marrying my 4-year girlfriend.

That's what the article claims. That you can run in a less efficient mode that produces more total thrust when you're climbing out of a gravity well, then switch to the lower thrust higher efficiency mode for the long haul.
The human population seems to be stabilizing actually, with dramatically decreased infant mortality most parents these days focus on one or two kids instead of three or more - this is even more prevalent in more educated populations.

Finland, for example had more deaths than births last year. I wouldn't be surprised if the population of the human race shrinks over the next century.

> How can they be cost neutral? That would only happen if by luck the same number of people applied to basic income as previously applied for means-tested benefits.

In addition to the other points being made (about new funding sources), you're assuming the payout for basic income would exactly match previous means-tested benefits. Realistically spending, any basic income program will likely provide less than the upper end of many existing entitlement programs.

That is true. I was using it heavily when I was using Linux.
Very interesting read! I like that GOOG is pushing gRPC more on their own services. I've been a gRPC user since Sep/Oct last year, and it's made developing for Android, Node.js, JVM, Python more pleasant from a networking perspective. The ease of just moving logic from Node.js to a Java gRPC server, and then redirecting the HTTP2 proxy to the right place, has been awesome.

I've started teaching some people in the team how to use gRPC, and we're def going to be using it where permissible on client projects.
What do you consider a spacecraft though. What is the payload mass ?
So this means all the planets are all a volcanic mess because of the tidal forces?
I hope so, because to capture protected species in the wild is a crime.

In any case even if you can keep an endangered species in captivity in a few special cases, you still could not deliberately put in danger the life of those captive species, because is not a cool toy, is a protected species by both the european and also the french laws. It does not matter if hatched for this or for that. Is still illegal. You can't even let fly freely this species in a public space like a city without breaking the law.

For USA see: The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668-668d)

In European community "Member states shall prohibit, for species in Annex 1 (that includes Aquila pomarina, Aquila clanga, Aquila heliaca, Aquila adalberti, Aquila chrysaetos, Hieraaetus fasciatus and Hieraaetus pennatus among other species) the sale, transport for sale, keeping for sale and the offering for sale of live or dead birds and of any recognisable parts or derivatives of such birds". Also eggs. And of course to deliberately annoy or harm this species is strictly forbidden. See directive 2009/147/EC
The "artist's depiction" of the planets is always amusing--they haven't got the first clue what those planets look like.
Agreed, very good points; thanks. I should have been more careful with my paints. I did mean to depict that we aren't there yet.

> Germany had strongly militaristic culture long before

The U.S. has had a strong culture of racial discrimination for its entire history. I don't mean that in an exaggerated sense like "everyone is racist", but I think that rationally it's hard to escape the fact that such a culture has always been prominent.
Fixed. Thanks for the heads-up!
The problem I had going into this without a strong functional background is that often times to do practical things you're forced to work with .NET libraries - these .NET libraries are not nice functional libraries and don't encourage you to think functionally.

I just started by using it to communicated woth my wife, then with close friends, then recommending it as enthusiastically as I used to recommend Whatsapp.

When "everyone" find they are using Telegram foreverything but a few groups then they will start bugging the rest of the members and suddenly even big groups switch.

Unit testing patterns: common patterns to follow for error free applications
Not aware of any. Only recently found out about this—didn't realize until a few years ago that I was so far outside of normal, just thought everyone's experience was similar to mine, more or less. Only found that Wikipedia article in the last year or so (may have been 2 months ago, may have been 10—haha!)

With memories I want to stick, I consciously play them over again. That kind of works. I still lose so many details that I end up with some vague half-fake thing for which I have to invent details (colors, for example) again every time I re-play it, and that's only a few seconds long, but at least it's something.

Mostly I try not to think about it too much because it's kinda horrifying :-/

> Near the bottom, "Please resist commenting about being downvoted. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading."

I have always read that as meaning that a commenter should resist commenting about having one's own comment downvoted. The comment you responded to above was making an interesting point (I thought) about someone else being downvoted, which seemed to me to be more in line with the spirit of the guidelines.

The site's approach of not giving users the power to downvote until they basically prove they're interacting in good faith (by reaching the karma threshold) reinforces the seriousness of downvotes for me. Here I'm much more conservative with them than on reddit, for instance, official reddiquette notwithstanding.

I've used the simpler GCP APIs (like the Machine Learning ones) with direct REST calls. I've also been forced to use the REST API for things like Google Sheets because the client library documentation was so confusing.

For more complicated services, using a client library makes sense. Why reinvent the wheel?

With gRPC/Swagger/OpenAPI/etc you can also generate your own client stubs if you need to.

IMO, if you require a client library, there better be a really good reason...

How is Flow looking in webstorm? As good as their typescript support?
I'm shocked at how few HTTP libraries on GitHub properly handle exponential backoff, let alone retries.

Do the Internet a favor, and file an issue with your favorite HTTP library asking them to implement exponential backoff.

I haven't found anything in JS that does this properly though. Do people really just write apps that crap out upon the first HTTP request failure?

The best library I have come across is actually SquareUp's OkHttp (the payment processing companies seem to be the only ones getting this right).

Having a cat may not cause mental illness, just that in my experience having a cat is a sign of mental illness
That doesn't seem to show the same information as VSCode though. If you go to https://goo.gl/zteCbj and hover over the `x`, it will show type A. If you hover over `y` it will show either AB or B|null, depending on whether you have strictNullChecks enabled. IntelliJ also doesn't show any information for type aliases.
If you look at the abstract, all of the correlations actually show that having a cat does predict mental illness at all ages considered. But the effect sizes are relatively low (albeit consistent with the more direct studies looking at people actually infected with toxoplasma rather than people who might be infected), so with a few hundred or thousand people, it technically doesn't satisfy p<0.05. Nevertheless, this is further evidence for toxoplasma having bad effects.

This seems to be a trend with toxo papers - take a too-small sample, do no power or Bayesian analysis, find all bad correlations, but declare evidence of safety anyway.

Bangalore has become Xenophobic about people from other states. They blame the 'non-Kannada' speaking outsiders for all the problems. And the boom in the IT industry in Bangalore attracted people from all over the country. That is why 'Techie' with respect to this article has a negative connotation. They don't dislike the 'Kannadiga' (local/native)'Techie', they just dislike all the outsider 'Techies', the 'Non-Kannadigas'.

All the problems they face are due to the incompetent and corrupt government. And yet majority of them don't do their most important duty as a citizen, they don't vote.

People are trying to become more aware and contribute and participate in State government and local government, but it will take time and even then we may never be able to restore Bangalore to its former glory.
Interesting that you've created a centralized system. This means that everyone needs to trust you at all times, as there are no miners or active nodes that can "fork" your ledger or ignore your code updates by working off an old/alternative ledger.

This could actually be quite dangerous for you if your project gains any sort of traction. Some unsavory individuals might be quite tempted to harm you to gain access to your digital "mint". If you made any unpopular decisions regarding the rate of inflation, market access, experienced a security issue, etc. you would also be subject to a lot of vitriol and potential violence. Not to mention that the government of any country where this is introduced would probably be itching to shut you down (whether they could would be an entirely different story).

Personally I think the answer to inequality, which is the main issue that BI attempts to solve, lies in tax reform. Especially on the rate at which we tax capital, and the loopholes that allow corporations and wealthy individuals to harbor capital in some low-tax jurisdiction; capital that they could not have earned and accumulated without access to the infrastructure and public services in the nation where they live and conduct business.

I'm glad BI is raising awareness of the problem of inequality, but I think it focuses too much on the wrong side - the distribution of benefits, rather than the taxation of profits. Piketty studied wealth/capital for the better part of 20 years and came to the conclusion that we need a global income tax [1].
