Largest economy is GDP per capita. Public debt is not necessarily related to how the actual economy is doing at the moment. If gov takes a huge loan and uses it to propel business, economy does good. Although there's a debt to pay back far in the future. Which hopefully will be easier to pay thanks to inflation.

Faking Server-Side Rendering with Vue.js and Laravel
I think there are perhaps 'soft' and 'hard' requirements for time series data. I do a lot of analytics based on (mostly offline) data that is sequential, and I benefit greatly from clustered indexes and window functions for many ad-hoc queries. If you're talking inserting millions of readings per minute, then yes, more targeted solutions exist. I think moving to esoteric databases before exhausting what's possible with RDBMSs is generally suboptimal, but other people are smarter than me.
winsxs uses hard links - space wastage is more likely from more versions than just dupes. Also, many windows tools won't account t correctly for hard links in disk usage stats.
Costa Book Award – Best Novel by Costa Coffee – Booktopia – Medium
I recently read an excellent book on the lives of the extremely poor, Poor Economics, Abhijit Bannerjee and Esther Duflo. The authors are development economists at MIT. If you think that poor people don't borrow money you should really read it. Anybody who's secure enough to make it a blanket rule not to borrow money is well above the kind of insecurity that those living on less than a dollar a day deal with.

As far as homelessness goes a homeless shelter in the first world is better than a lot of people's homes in the developing world. There will be clean drinking water, a toilet, almost certainly hot and cold running water, a sufficiency of reasonably nutritious food. One of the facts about the lives of the extremely poor I learned by reading that book is that it's common for migrant labourers in India to sleep on the street or where they're working rather than pay for accommodation. Mostly at work does not mean dorms, it means on a building site or on the floor in a store room.
Sorry, I say that somewhere else in this discussion. I am, personally, not concerned with pricing but I know that most people are. And I do find that unfair; they should not benefit from loopholes and shortcuts, however I do find the pressure on licenses good; those shouldn't really exist anymore.

> Stuff that is important. Demanding luxury would be very stupid.

You think it is for safety or just paper pushing? Because I'm sure in most countries it is sold as safety but it is really a bureaucratic exercise nothing to do with safety. If it is for safety, of course that comes first. I highly doubt it is (seeing that normal cabbies drive like maniacs in cars where the seatbelts do not actually work a lot of the time while they still have the official license) or that you know for sure that it is or even attributes to safety at all.
Don't forget the USA, where they lynch black people.

The government made artificial scarcity and now there is a market where you have to pay to get a license. Technically you do pay for licenses, just not the government.

I tend to agree with you, but you should think about what that harm might be. Many genetic defects that result in miscarriage also result in severe problems for the child if they're carried to term. If we're going to fix genetic issues to allow a healthy birth, it's only fair (to the baby and parents) that we also provide that baby with a healthy life.

Interesting to see CoAP deployed to an embedded device. I already wondered if it will also be some never-widely-deployed standard. Also intersting that they use it on the gateway and not on the (more constrained) lightbulbs. I guess the always-on gateway would also have been powerful enough to run HTTP[S], which would have made 3rd integration easier.
I think we should let "the people" decide what is good for them, and not us doing it for them. Italy is a democratic country with a government and legal system that is upholding the laws. The court ruling appears to be in line with those laws, so i don't see a problem here.

Keep in mind, this is Europe and not the US. The argument "more car-based transportation at lower prices is good for everyone" is not necessarily something that the majority of the population in Italy or elsewhere in Europe is necessarily aspiring to. So if the government - at state and local level - is keeping the number of taxis in check by high taxes/fees while subsidizing green or mass transit, thats OK too. And the government of Italy has every right to do that. just my two cents.
MySQL works fine if you chiefly interact with your DB through an ORM or using basic queries.

Postgres shines if you need advanced functionality: recursive queries, lateral joins, window functions, foreign data wrappers, partial indexes, advanced types... The list of things MySQL doesn't do as well or at all, be it user facing or under the hood, is fairly long.

There are plenty of examples of both DBs scaling successfully in the wild.

IMO it's a coin toss decision for most CRUD apps. For more advanced apps, you might want to pick Postgres over MySQL for the same reason some companies prefer niche languages over Java or PHP: the pool of competent engineers is smaller but tends to be of higher quality.

It only takes a single incident like Heartbleed, Shellshock, Backblaze or whatever to render a formerly assumed secured component or protocol insecure.

And if you're building something on a platform where you can't rely on the ability to upgrade past the latest SSL security vulnerability in the future, you effectively can't count on HTTPS to provide the security you need for the lifetime of the device. That means you'll have to implement additional means of securing your data anyway, so what value does HTTPS provide in those cases?

In some cases the library affected may now instead provide a security risk in itself, which you wouldn't have had you only gone with plain HTTP. So it can be argued that deploying HTTPS in environments where the ability to perform updates are limited is a security risk in itself and should be avoided at all cost.

So if you're going to have to implement your own security anyway, why bother with all the additional work, complexity and security-risks using HTTPS involves? Especially considering you probably won't gain anything out of it, except more work.

Counter to popular HN religion, HTTPS everywhere is actually not always going to represent a security benefit.

In lots of cases, plain HTTP just makes sense.

Edit: Not to mention the increase in complexity brought you by HTTPS effectively means you now need to provide more updates for your devices, or leave them vulnerable and hope nobody notices.

Basically, blindly applying HTTPS where it doesn't provide value, now just increased the cost for companies w.r.t. maintaining their devices in the future. If a company sees increased per-device-lifetime-costs associated with updates, guess how many companies will then decide on limiting the number of models they are willing to provide updates for, labelling older models "obsolete"?

All in all, HTTPS in cases like this represent a negative value proposition both for the companies and the customers.
OS/2, Nextstep, and BeOS were all better than Windows (IMO) and none of them succeeded. Some of it was missteps by the OS vendor but not to be forgotten was Microsoft's deals with PC makers that locked out competition.

Define "entitled". Legally entitled? No, but that's irrelevant, since by definition you are never legally entitled to break the law. Ethically entitled? That's arguable. Personally, I have no problem with people and companies openly breaking laws in ways that only harm people in the long run. And I have no problem with the authorities punishing them for it. It's a kind of stress test of the political system. Lots of bad laws remain due to complacency and inertia, so there's value in forcing a decision when conditions change.

I think yupyup is referring to the fact that all types must be explicitly annotated.

(I favor this and explicitly annotate most of my types in Haskell and Scala. Makes reading easier. But I did occasionally find it annoying in Java when it was mandatory.)
so many problems with its internal design that hide problems until its too late

I always got the impression (since I started using it in Prod in the late 90s) that the MySQL team had never worked on an RDBMS before, even as users, and didn't really understand it. Back then they would say, you don't need foreign keys, you can just enforce consistency in your application, you don't need transactions, you can just handle it in your application, and so on and so on. Monty Widenius was very arrogant and thought he knew everything. Eventually they matured a bit and realized that actually, yes, the entire rest of the database community weren't idiots, maybe there is something to these features, but now they needed to find a way to retro-fit them onto what they had and now - 20 years later - they still haven't figured out how to smush it into their architecture.

Whereas the Postgres crew were fresh out of the Ingres project led by the genius Michael Stonebraker, they had a solid foundation and very clear vision and a culture of doing the right thing, not the easy thing. There's a steeper learning curve to Postgres but once you have learned a few things you can easily guess the rest because it's so consistent. For MySQL you really need a "guru" because there are so many dark corners and weird edge cases that make no sense, you just have to "know" them.
Taxi drivers are paid in cash. Uber drivers are paid exclusively using electronic systems. Guess which one is easier to avoid declaring?
The dark net marketplaces are not a bad place to start. The pills come in blister packs from popular Indian brands that are probably more trouble to fake than just acquire. And the vendors depend on reputation to succeed.
I haven't used Jetbrains' go ide, but extrapolating from my time with intellij and pycharm it seems that their ides work significantly better with static type systems. (Find usages, rename function, etc are less accurate.)
> it's common for migrant labourers in India to sleep on the street

but not all poor are migrant workers. Most poor people live in villages made by their forefathers.

Poor people borrow money but they do not have to give their house in return and become homeless in case of non payment.

> who's secure enough to make it a blanket rule not to borrow money is well above the kind of insecurity that those living on less than a dollar a day deal with.

But in the US, even people with degrees from good colleges become homeless because of debt. I will be surprised to see many people in India becoming homeless because of education loan.

edit: Just to make my point clear, there is a difference in mindset of people in India and the US. Indians do not risk taking huge loans just to be able to have a job at the end of college or take huge home loans to live a posh life and later become homeless in case of a job lay off.

It's true for many countries, I understand Uber became useful because it was difficult to get taxi in U.S but they are trying to solve problem ma that don't exist in other countries. The only thing they offer is how to avoid legislation, paying taxes, etc.
You can't do it for a single employer because you only get one test per employer. You do the search across employers, in an area/domain. That gives you a rough idea of the prospect.

Yes, networking and insider information is much better than any of this.
Why? All were against the law at one time, and emigration to avoid the impact of the law was possible. (C.f. the Madagascar plan.)

Thus, the preconditions of markoffs argument apply. If the conclusion is outrageous, it's a flaw in his argument.

Few can do real programming work over 30h a week. If you force people, you'll get fake work. Specific individuals can work more, by themselves (challenge, pride, try to show whatever, etc.), but are the exception. And of course, that effort level can not be sustained forever.
PostgreSQL: being written in the sane subset of C instead of being a pile of amateurish C++.

As a result of this design decision the resource management of each major part, like the buffer pool, the lock manager, etc is explicit and straightforward.

This, in turn, leads to indeed stable and predicable runtime behavior during high loads.

Basically, PostgreSQL is one of very few canonical examples of what sanity and attention to details could accomplish.
As usual, politicians kill a cheap, customer-friendly service to save an entrenched monopoly. If the horse cart owners were this smart, we never would have had the automobile revolution.
I'm not sure what your point is.

Only one remark: not banning Uber also would be a political move. We can't escape politics.
I have learned SQL with Postgres, provided by my university,
and found the "explain analyze" and "explain cost" to be a god-send :-) Especially when I was trying to learn the impact of various things on the query-execution time.

When I used MYSQL, I found its EXPLAIN counterpart much more rudimentary.

But if I were to teach somebody SQL, I would probably just use sqlite because it just uses a simple binary file as a backend and doesn't need a running process :)

I am not really OPS or DB guy, so I can't comment on meirts of the databases in production.

Good. They should be banned wherever they don't pay taxes.
This is my sentiment exactly. The stuff I produce in the 30-40 hour segment is significantly worse than the first 30.
Also, meetings/helping out is perfectly fine, but maintaining 3-hour chunks are still crucial to productivity.
You don't use LIMIT? Really?
And in my experience the exact opposite is true.

That's why it's called an anecdote; not data.
Seems like they should complain to whoever charges such extortionate licenses.

Except of course they won't, because they like those licenses, as they reinforce their monopoly. So complaining that Uber doesn't pay them is just like any cartel complaining that the newcomer doesn't play by their rules.

Ah yes, that number is from 2011, published by Google. Can't find the original. But it was widely reported[1].

Assuming that they're doubling energy consumption every year they'd have reached 8GW in 2016. That's 8W per user if we assume 1 billion users. Energy usage of a Raspberry is not insignificant relative to even this.

Doing things at scale is vastly more efficient. And only a subset of Google services can be relegated to a Raspberry. Even if you host your own mails, are you ready to ditch the Google search index and Youtube?

That's not really accurate phrasing, Sun had no involvement in OpenZFS because it started after Sun no longer existed. Sun maintained OpenSolaris which served as the de facto implementation of ZFS. OpenZFS was started in response to Oracle discontinuing OpenSolaris and only doing further ZFS in private.

You are correct about incompatible features. Sun and Oracle use a monotonically increasing integer to note new ZFS versions. OpenZFS instead incremented the version to 5000 and now uses feature flags so it is possible to coordinate individual feature enablement between all the operating systems that support OpenZFS.
Ah yes, OS/2 that were the days. I really enjoyed using Describe/2 that was a great word processor. For a long time I played with Delphi for OS/2, Sybil. I still think OS/2 was a great operating system back in the day. Nowadays I am using macOS.
While I am a fond user of an OpenZFS-derived implementation, OpenZFS postdates Sun's last gasps of existence by several years.

PenFed has a card that does 5% on gas (although there are more strings attached now versus the card I have) [1]. Additionally it has no foreign transaction fee. It's well worth becoming a member if you will ever want to finance a car, their rates are typically very good.

Otherwise, the only card that I regularly use that isn't on the parent comment's list is from Golden1 [2]. 3% on restaurants and grocery.

Both of these are a little more work than usual to sign up for (especially Golden1) and their websites are pretty basic, but as they're both credit unions their terms are a bit friendlier. The cash back is immediately credited to your account each month, and their phone support is typically quite helpful.

I have the 2% Fidelity card deposit into a Fidelity Cash Management account, which is just a checking account with no restrictions or fees. It refunds ATM fees, which has been huge for me.

I'm not an American and I completely support Uber. They did a great thing to break up the taxi cartel. Most of these laws are results of regulatory capture. They lead to an inefficient market and price gouging.

Also just because a law is in the law book doesn't make it sacrosanct. Think about the Jim Crow laws before the Civil Rights movement.

> If you move to any country without a job first you will have a hard time. Health insurance shouldn't be part of a free 'welcome package' to whoever just feels like dropping by.

I can understand this reasoning in the general case, but I'm not sure I agree when the two countries are Italy and Germany. Both Italy and Germany are part of the European Union, and one of the chief political ambitions of this union is the free movement of people within the union. To me it feels a bit weird to say this ambition applies only to the healthy and highly productive. I can certainly see how this can be perceived as a form of "second class citizenship".

But yea, I guess your stance here depends a lot on your politics. Personally I have no problem with people coming to Sweden and using the generous government funded health care system, but I have been thinking about the reverse problem a bit lately: If I as a Swedish citizen move abroad (even outside the EU) I have "free health insurance for life", in the sense that if I get seriously ill I can always get on a plane back to Sweden and receive some of the highest quality care on earth free of charge. I would not need to pay a dime in taxes for this. At this moment we've extended this free insurance to about 660 000 people (the equivalent of 1/15 of the Swedish population), and I bet that's mostly people who are relatively very well off.

I guess when you mix peoples freedom of movement with money it gets complicated real fast...
