> Thank goodness Facebook isn't what I want my social feed to look like... all those GIFs and garbage updates.

Sure, but I have few enough friends as is. I know literally no one who would use this, as neat as it is. Bootstraping a social network is hard for both developers and users, but once it gets going, storage requirements would rise fast.
In many cities like Los Angeles public transportation is either non-existant or extremely poor, the most common scenario is that someone goes to work and is invited to go have a drink with the office gang after hours. It's not realistic for them to drive an hour home in rush hour traffic and then take Uber back to meet everyone as they'll already be gone. Instead they go have a drink, start thinking, "Geez, I probably should get Uber but then I'm going to have to get Uber in the morning to get to work and then I have to get my car from the parking lot at the bar. I guess I'm not really that drunk I can probably make it home okay."
They should have been doing this long before Trump and the "Red Scare." Twitter has been around since the Patriot Act, and they never once backed down from Obama's administration which saw massive overreach by the Federal Govt that would make Bush Jr. blush.

Where was Twitter then?

I think the disagreement might be in the distinction between constituents and supporters.

(Ozgun from Citus Data)

Yup, good point. This example shards the github_events table on user_id and then shows running count(distinct user_id). Since the sharding and count(distinct) column is the same, Citus can push down the count(distinct user_id) to each shard and then sum up the results from those shards. In this case, reshuffles don't come into the picture.

In this example, HLLs would be most useful if the user then issued count(distinct repo_id) for example. Citus would then ask for HLL sketches from each shard and add them up on the coordinator node.
You mean Lyft.

I don't know about the X220, but I can tell you about my experiences with setting up an X200 I bought off ebay. Its not quite trivial..

You need to get access to the SPI flash chip on the mother board. They sell some fancy little clips to attach wires, but I just had one of the hardware guys at work tac some wires directly to the chip. Then I used a raspberry pi to flash the image across using their tools. Maybe I had a dodgy connection, but it took several tries of flashing to get it to work correctly.

Once installed it isn't much of a bios. It is mostly just GRUB, you lose all the existing bios settings completely. It lets you boot from different images and thats about it. It does work well once it's set up though.

Hey lkki, I'm based in the US and we got access to the beta!
I don't think it logically follows that you should not kill anyone if you do not believe your own life to be precious.

For example, someone in a truly blind rage might go ahead and recklessly kill someone with complete and total disregard for his own life. While observing this act we might say that he does not believe his life to be precious because he acts as if it's not, yet he can nevertheless still be fighting and killing someone because he's driven by dark emotions.
It's not going to happen. Google makes a ton of money off the fact that people dispose cell phones ever two years, so they're never going to patch their insane OS model. I write about it a bit here:

http://penguindreams.org/blog/android-fragmentation/

..but the gist is that ARM isn't a PC. There's no platform. You've got random pins connected to random shit and only a subset of devices that use Device Tree. Even the ones that do still tend to have a ton of binary blobs and weird kernel patches that can't be up-streamed.

In a way, Windows/x86 makes a lot more sense. You have a base operating system. Any time you buy a new machine, you can wipe it, install the drivers and you've got a nice bloat free OS (until Win10 Advert edition anyway).

You can't just run AOSP. There have been cases where AOSP releases on master have failed to compile or require binary blobs. Maybe this weird Fuchsia crap Google is working on will provide a standard/stabilized kernel an ABI, but I wouldn't count on it.

At least Microsoft phones required UEFI, but they have locked bootloaders. If we wanted decent 3rd party fully open operating systems, I'd say the old Nokia devices would be the way to go if the bootloaders could be cracked.
Uh, what? How is this stringly-typed: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/datatype.html ? Postgres's type system is actually more sophisticated than any programming language that I know. The problem is that ORM developers are much more serious about interoperability than can be reasonably argued, so you cannot rely on much more than VARCHAR, INTEGER and maybe BOOLEAN.
Banks (including small banks) frequently make errors that they stubbornly resist resolving without a gun to their head. Hence, the regulation that kills many of them.

If they were capable of self-regulating to a reasonable degree, the political pressure to create those regulations never would have existed. If you can't afford to fix your mistakes, you shouldn't be in business in the first place.

That is the fatal flaw in many of these anti-regulation arguments. Self-regulation doesn't exist in capitalism outside of the court system and you can't expect poor people to afford to fight in court every time there is a problem.
Avoiding mentioning them in the same breath as "self-promoters and drama queens" is not remotely close to a get away with anything card. I think it's fair to criticize Leah's actions, and to extricate yourself from a person who is destructive to you even if the are mentally ill (I've had that experience as well).

However, I'm a very not big fan of assigning blanket blame on the mentally ill.

It's easy to be down on yourself. As someone who struggled with mental health issues in the past (anxiety and depression runs in my family) I have a few thoughts on this, not necessarily unique to your situation, but I hope it's helpful.

1) Don't mention your mental health issues to your employer. Maybe one day you can reveal it, I've discussed my anxiety issues with my boss, but it wasn't until I'd been at work and kicking ass for over a year. People are more empathetic once they know you. I don't know if you're actually interviewing but admitting that you were out of work for a year because of manic episodes is a surefire way to never get work. You have a bachelors degree + experience, those are the two things 99% of employers care about. Maybe have someone else review your resume?

2) Therapy is helpful but keep in mind while they may be an expert in psychology, he or she isn't an expert in the hiring landscape of computer science. At least in my job market a coding bootcamp wouldn't make sense at all for anyone who has ever had a job as a software engineer.

3) It's easy to be down on yourself and think it was "just a fluke", but programming is hard! If someone employed you for a year you can cut it. If it was "just a fluke" you would have been out of there in a month. "Being a huge c++ geek" makes me think you are feeling imposter syndrome, the fact that you -can- geek out over C++ makes you better than 90% of the applicants we get when we're looking for a new dev.

You can do it! I personally wouldn't suggest the coding bootcamp. It'd just be busy work, and I don't think it'd help your job prospects that much.
Wow. I can't believe what I just read. There's just no nice way to put this. Those Drupal maintainers need to grow up and stop being such childish assholes who try to control everyone and everything. The Drupal project should distance itself from the people causing this kind of hate in the community, not the person who is being persecuted for his ideas (regardless of what they are). I guarantee I can find evidence of much more fowl ideas out there in the community. Should we just ban people for having ideas we don't like that are not even remotely related to the open source work they do? Do we really have so many people vying to compete for all that unpaid open source work that we can afford to kick people out because some idiots disagree over some unrelated and unimportant ideas?
Is there a roadmap for Stripe supporting more countries? I'm working on an on-demand/marketplace app where buyers and vendors could be anywhere, particularly the Middle East at the outset. The alternatives, Paypal and Payoneer, don't really look too appealing.
Well, Marx himself believed that Capitalism and its markets had to evolve to a sufficiently advanced and truly technical state in order for Communism to be possible. And there was no explicit supposition that markets themselves should be abolished, which he viewed as one of the most creative forces in human history.

The problem for the early revolutionaries is that they either ignored or mistook these preconditions, and relied on authoritarianism to try and "hasten history." This obviously didn't work.
I disagree that is the point of a PhD is some kind of struggle to get through, I honestly enjoyed mine and don't think the topics are so interchangeable.

(disclosure: CockroachDB founder) The reason I've heard is that Spanner uses a separate mutation API instead of SQL DML because of a quirk of its transaction model. Writes within a transaction are not visible to subsequent reads within the same transaction (source: https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/transactions#rw_transa...). This is different from other SQL databases, so the use of a different API forces you to think about your read/write transactions in a Spanner-specific way.

(FWIW, CockroachDB does not have this limitation - transactions can read their own uncommitted writes, just like in other databases)
Why WhatsApp? Messages are E2E encrypted so it's fairly safe to use. Are you worried about metadata collection?
A single error in the very large part of DNA that shouldn't vary per individual but "makes an ordinary human body with normal systems" means that you don't get an ordinary human body with normal systems.

Many such errors cause non-viable embryos, but if you have survived up to this point, then such a difference is still quite likely to have a meaningful impact to your health and is precisely the part that you'd want to have scanned and verified.

For adult DNA scanning we're not really interested in all the genes vary between all people and code for the color of your eyes, the melanine content of your skin, the shape of your nose or your height - but we are very much interested in, for example, scanning your genes that encode CFTR protein to check if you (or your kids!) will have issues with cystic fibrosis.

It's possible that you don't really have (or your kids are likely to not have) an "ordinary human body with normal systems" - that's what you'd need to find out.
But see above. What I pay the driver has no direct relationship to what I charge the rider (or vice versa). The financial metaphor breaks down here.

They correlate, sure: both formulas include miles and time (or estimates thereof). But they're not bound nor guaranteed to move in lockstep.

That drivers (or riders) thought they did is not a legal argument. (Unless they were led to believe false information by Uber itself.)
We don't. We don't care about instances at all. We have pipelines that bake base amis. Another pipeline builds the code from a repo and turns it into an artifact. Then the artifact is baked into a new ami from the base ami. Then these are launched and destroyed inside asgs at will.

If there needs to be persistant storage this is normally backed by an ebs volume which can then be backed up to other volumes or services like s3.

Databases are backed up by another job in a similar matter on a set schedule.
This isn't some generic political stance Twitter is taking, it is challenging a specific CBP order directed at Twitter. So which specific incident(s) relating to Twitter during Obama's administration are you referring to? Otherwise this seems like the typical "but Obama" handwaving.

Side note, I think you're using "backing down" in the opposite sense of how it's meant to be used. Saying they "never backed down" means they took a strong stand.
I think there are a lot of people who support the GOP (evidenced by the last election) but very few the GOP actually look out for.

We can have both: Ms has Azure Ad - a new/refined open standard that provided sane caching/off-line use should allow self-host on-premise, in cloud as well as Saas/IaaS - add in a new coda-like fs (also optionally as a service) - and I'm pretty sure people would throw some money at it.

Imagine having a box running a lan-local cache/node for a few tb of cloud-backup disk - network mounted as /home/$user and/or / - with local machine cache and regular mirroring to the cloud? With the added bonus of being open - making pure self-host an option as well as moving to other vendors?
> That sounds like a double-edged sword, since by those rules an Evil Attacker Organization™ could now get rid of key people by stirring up enough drama around them [emphasis mine].

> Don't corporations have growth targets and multi-year plans?

Yes, and for the most part they are driven by the requirements of a relatively small community of fund managers and so-called activist investors.
Piketty and others have covered this. Debt is primarily a political obligation - in the sense that it's a reified power imbalance in which one person with power "lends" it to another in the hope of making a bet that increases the status and influence of the lender.

It may or may not increase the status of the borrower at the same time. As long as the lender's status and standing are increased, either outcome is acceptable.

But if the status of the borrower increases while the status of the lender is decreased - because of a "default", or some other outcome that damages the lender - the transaction is considered morally offensive.

Banks are simply professional lenders. If the transaction were purely numeric and not political they'd be peripheral to the economy instead of central to it.
I'm unclear -- does the victim have to actively connect to a malicious network, or does work even if the victim is unconnected/connected to another network?
Obvious clickbait: individual videos do not need to reach 10,000 views; only a channel itself needs to hit 10,000 or more lifetime views.
So to get back to Spanner's availability (if you need it), you need the Calvin sequencer Paxos groups to span data centers. Since you're not exploiting the commutativity structure of transactions you need either a leader-based consensus implementation, which will have latency stalls when a leader becomes unavailable (amplified by the all-to-all communication), or you can use old-school 2 RTT Paxos, and your end latency ends up the same as Spanner.

Lest it seem like I'm not actually a fan of the log-based approach, let me point out a way in which Calvin crushes Spanner: write contention. So long as the Calvin transactions can encode the application logic, they can support extremely high write rates on contended objects in the database. Spanner's 2PL, on the other hand, has single-object object update rates visible to the naked eye.
My theory is that the traditional idea of "ownership" does not translates to free software. In fact its one of the reason why I am hesitant to be involved with any type of open source "community". In a traditional corporation, you own shares or worse stock options but their are clear legal rights. In Open Source on the other hand you can start a very popular software spend years of your life toiling away and nurturing it, and then suddenly a bunch of activists make an issue out of a donation you made several years ago. Instantly you find yourself kicked out of the organization. Now if it were a company, sure you might still get kicked out the company but your shares will remain intact.

These days with random unverifiable accusations, extreme political correctness, & activists going through history to dig up mud, open source community has become hazardous to ones career.

Snapshot reads require just as many network communications as Cassandra does at consistency ONE, and provide a better correctness guarantee because effect order has already been determined.

Take any suggestions you see here with a grain of salt, but my ¢2. Being 'the top of the class' at a boot camp doesn't mean much, unless you have a chance of being hired on as an instructor (which can be very well paid). As a former bootcamper, the people that did the best in the job hunt were those with CS degrees (for the reasons you mentioned), those who hustled like hell to land a job, and then maybe those who did best in the course.

If you already have your LinkedIn, GitHub, personal site, and dynamic resume tailored to post locked in; I'd suggest trying to get take-home coding challenges from companies that you can give them back on github/bitbucket. Bring it up in cover letters / phone screens. It will help you ramp up on the skills employers want, and it shouldn't take too many before you get an offer.
