It could also lead to greater ownership sharing. If cars are self driving, at that point it's more like a taxi.
While I get your wider point, I find the different types of mistakes that ESL'ers with different mother tongues make absolutely fascinating.

I've noticed, say, that in Poland, where the native tongue lacks articles, people regularly mess up "the" and "a," or miss them altogether. I've never met a French person with the same issue, for obvious reasons.

When I started looking into people's mistakes with tenses in English - dear god, so much about my native tongue that I had no idea about, and yet made particular nationality error combinations really stand out. It's crazy fun.

Edit: and I love my eldest's progress with English. While she's basically a bilingual preschooler, she tends to speak English with polish word order: I like cars red. Her natural instinct is to also use the polish rules for nouns when choosing he/she/it. It's an absolutely fascinating process I feel privileged to observe.
This is helpful if you have rare symptoms with no currently available explanation - if you get a list of the "unusual" mutations that you have, and correlate it with the same data from the few people worldwide that have the same issue, you get a possibility to improve that condition.

I recall seeing cases of rare genetic disorders that have been diagnosed that way, by online communities sharing data.

http://matt.might.net/articles/my-sons-killer/ is one story that counters "this will lead to a deficiency in the synthesis of protein A which impact the development or working of organ B". For many parts of DNA we do know what protein it makes. For many proteins/enzymes/etc we have some idea about their function in the body - and if we have a test subject missing that protein, then the symptoms will be even more indicative about this, even if the population is tiny (1 in this example!) and doesn't allow for any statistical inference.

This means that if we really want to, we can try to find out the likely effect and possible workaround of a particular mutation, even if we currently don't have a ready-made answer for it.

Not sure what you're trying to say about "requires no extensions"; Timescale is an extension that doesn't modify Postgres itself, similar to Citus, and very different from XL/XC, GreenPlum, or EnterpriseDB's proprietary offerings.
There seems to be endless goalpost moving around this though. Do you release as soon as you possibly can and learn and validate, or release a relatively polished product and have a strong initial base of customers help finesse it?

It's also kind of hard to get meaningful feedback without some kind of big PR push.

One thing we can be certain of, if self-driving / autonomous cars become a reality, is that there will be unintended consequences.

Predicting the intended consequences is hard enough.
With 2ndquadrant working on Postgres-XL (http://www.postgres-xl.org/), I think that you can be confident that you will see a lot of the features being proposed to core postgres. It will just take some times to build the building block necessary like: global index, distributed sequence, repartition ...

I quite confident that the postgresql from 5y in future will be quite different in term of storage / server topology support. I won't be surprise pg_bouncer capacity to finally make its way to core when we have a coordinator.

Postgres has steady progression (even if not fast enough for some people) but they are moving without compromising robustness of their product for the users.

This is a beautiful piece.

I was bedridden at one time and deathly ill. During that time, The Grim Reaper often sat and wordlessly conversed with me. One day, he dramatically departed. With that, I knew I would live.

It has never mattered to me if he was "real" or a hallucination, the product of fever, drugs and sickness. His departure marked an important turning point: The death watch was over.

My brain is different than it was before those months. My perceptions of the world and thought patterns were permanently altered. I am more visual or image oriented, less word oriented.

I find pieces like this particularly meaningful.
I wonder why not to go for a changelog-based implementation. Instead of modifying the materialized view directly, write the changes into a changelog, and then update the matview in the background. More efficient, less locking issues, etc.
Again I don't dispute that there is bigotry but we aren't close to understanding the full scope of genetic treatments.

Cloning mamals so far has gone horribly wrong in most cases and there are a lot of issues that are manifested in later stages of life.
We are still finding out new mechanisms for activating and rewriting genes and we don't understand all the interactions which are possible and might happen over a span of a life time.

I wish the child good health and hope that there won't be any complications but this isn't a proven treatment by any stretch.

Does anyone have a link to a run-down on reasons to prefer this format over CMS? The community's been iterating on that for ~20 years now (RSA PKCS#7, RFC 3852, RFC 5652, and a pile of other formats/protocols built on top of these) and so far nothing is jumping out to make me think this is an improvement.
The US does legitimately have an imperfect human rights track record, and most Americans who follow the news would agree (while at the same time being aware of China's own hypocrisy in this matter)

Right now, it would take me 41 minutes by car and 48 minutes by BART to reach my office in SF, according to Google Maps.It would cost me a bridge toll and an exorbitant amount in parking to drive, and wouldn't even be much faster, due to 17 minutes of traffic delays (which is fairly typical).

Needless to say, I take BART, because ~$4 in fares beats spending ~$25-30 in parking and tolls for the privilege of sitting in traffic half the trip.

IntelliJ still feels like a Java app imitating a macOS app to me. They do better job than most, but if you open up the settings of it and compare it to XCode's setting, it jumps out at you.
var name = "Global Name";
var obj = {
name : 'Object Name',
printName : function() {
setTimeout(() => {
console.log(this.name);
}, 2000);
}
};
obj.printName(); //prints "Object Name"
var printNameReference = obj.printName;
printNameReference(); //prints "Global Name"

You will see that "Global Name" will still be printed out. The reason is because arrow functions take the enclosing lexical scope, and the arrow function to setTimeout in the example is created each time the printName function is invoked. The printNameReference() invocation sets the scope of the printName function to global because of the way it is invoked and hence the arrow functions to setTimeout will also take this scope.

Changing the printName function itself as arrow function does not help either.

var obj = {
name : 'Object Name',
printName : () => {
setTimeout(() => {
console.log(this.name);
}, 2000);
}
};

The above code will again set the printName function to the enclosing global scope, because that is where obj is declared.

Becoming a 10X programmer, week 1. Thoughts?
I'm not really following this article: what "questions remain", exactly? The child is better with the procedure than without, no? What exactly is the alternative that would leave no questions remaining?

To add, I guess I understand the questions, but rather am struggling with the distinction between this procedure specifically, and the outcomes when any child is born, generally.

Something that might be very interesting would be combining https://www.torodb.com/ with Timescale. ToroDB is database agnostic (though they prefer Postgres). If you extracted the appropriate keys (including the timestamp) out I expect the combination would be very powerful.

A basic car is practically free compared to basic housing. It's not necessary to divorce employees from needing cars, any more than it's necessary to divorce them from needing housing.

It is necessary to divorce employees from trying to drive (mostly) the same routes at the same times, because there is no solution to car transportation at scale without traffic jams. The "solutions" (congestion pricing, less parking, etc) are to reduce the scale. It is necessary to divorce employees from competing with each other for such tiny slices of the city where the commute is reasonable, because paying an extra $2000/mo just for land value is such a soul-crushing waste of effort and resources. It is necessary to aggressively migrate the fleet of cars to electrics.

Rush hour traffic in small town or city is still going 60mph, and living "downtown" isn't nearly so expensive because there's less competition, and little drastically wealthier competition. (Good look competing with tech workers for nicely located apartments in SF, or bankers for nicely located apartments in Manhattan, if you aren't one).

See: SF opposition to tech shuttles, Muni expansion, Caltrain extension. I guess those aren't really about cost, but there's a common thread of "I don't like the noise" and "I don't like the kind of people that transportation brings in to my quiet neighborhood" and "we shouldn't be making it more attractive for gentrifiers to live here."

The question is about whether the child will develop symptoms later in life, as the defective DNA was not 100% removed.

The larger questions around issues like these is whether or not the fix will last. Solving a problem 90% can actually have pretty bad consequences; If you solve a problem that causes infertility or early death only temporarily, you could create a child that grows to adulthood only to have life cut short.

Would this process still be a good thing if the child died at 10 years rather than 3? 15? 20?

Questions remain because we actually have no idea how this is going to play out.

I'm with you, this is probably a good thing, but it will be many years before we know for sure.

Creativity and rationality are conventionally seen to be at odds than they actually are. But often something creative and innovative to one person is boring and logical to another, particularly when the former is not versed in the latter's domain.

For example, many people versed in networking were using the early internet to make voice communications circumventing long distance telecom bills. It just seems obvious to them then (and many more people now) that if you can send data through the internet, why not encode audio in that data?

Suppose we build some robots with AI and send them to space, and they land on some planet.

Those robots can mine raw materials and build other robots like themselves.

You can technically deploy with a static linked Qt as long as you provide your compiled object files for download somewhere along with instructions for how to swap out the linked Qt with any other version of Qt. This keeps your code proprietary and honors the license.

For example, you must deploy as a static linked Qt on the Apple App Store, but since Xcode is free and no Apple dev account is needed to install an app on your iOS device, you can provide instructions for how any user could install your binaries with any version of Qt. Unlikely any user would ever do this, but by making the process publicly known, you honor the license (and you don't need to share your own source code).

I am having some trouble understanding this. They don't just stumble across vulnerabilities by accident, they either purchase them or specifically look for them in a device's firmware, in order to implant the device of an intelligence target.

The article seems to indicate that CIA should be reporting vulnerabilities instead of using them. It does not address the fact that, with such a policy in place, there would no longer be a reason for them to spend time/cash seeking these vulnerabilities.

I am very interested in understanding a reasonable counterpoint to this.
