In a traditional course, isn't that what the (physical) lecture is for?
The contents vs. the headline aren't that off in this case but the general trend of phrasing all headlines in a gossip style is off-putting. If you replace the names and amounts in the headline with celebrities it reads like a Hollywood divorce article from the National Enquirer.
At least with regards with the fintech industry, due to the myriad regulations one must pass to do most things, securing a large customer is sometimes the only way to survive, let alone enter the market. One of the main reasons we haven't been exposed to as many large startups in the space.
Personally, I'd reframe this as MySQL being better than Postgres at OLTP workloads, and Postgres being better (much, much better) than MySQL at OLAP workloads.

It isn't really a question of how advanced your app is, unless your app completely relies on some specific advanced pg feature. There are areas where MySQL is substantially more advanced than Postgres, such as replication options, which in turn affects operational maintainability at scale.

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

This is true, but there are far, far more examples of ludicrous-scale MySQL than there are for pg. Compare the list of largest sites/apps using MySQL (see some of my comments from a few months ago) vs a similar list for pg and the discrepancy is quite noticeable.
HSTS has plenty of issues.
It attempts to move evaluation of expressions executed on all paths to the function *exit* as early as possible, which helps primarily for code size, but can be useful for speed of generated code as well. [Emphasis added.]

Typo? PRE hoists upwards, so it would make sense to move closer to entry, not exit.
Not even decades; never. But it has nothing to do with computer science; it's an energy problem. But we will see self-steering sailboats, gliders, and maybe bicycles. Although I doubt the bicycle would be worth it. That's all if we survive a probable nuclear war. The people doing ML with farming will be much more successful. And on the lack of ML in CS: it is to be expected in one of the most monopolized sector today. Riscv will change that. We can probably get orders of magnitude more energy efficiency out of our silicone.

I had a different experience in school, I kept the text book and re-read it. Eventually I had read every text book that I kept (although I did not keep them all) at least once and some of them several times. In my "first" senior year I discovered it was really useful to re-read a text book about a year after I had finished the class, apparently a lot of stuff had settled out by then and since it wasn't coming at me all new at that point I found it really helped me deepen my understanding of the topic generally.

https://people.freedesktop.org/~nh/piglit/ is an extensive open conformance test suite for opengl. Khronos has their own (https://github.com/KhronosGroup/VK-GL-CTS, used to be proprietary), but judging by the amount of bugs and piglit failures in drivers which supposedly pass it, I think it's probably not very useful.
In many European countries, this problem was resolved by what I feel is mostly student pressure. Our student union (for lack of better word) owned printing equipment and worked with most professors to do exactly what's suggested in this article: most professors wrote their own books (not 140 pages, though). Most of my textbooks were between 2 and 7 EUR, which I'm led to believe is approximately at cost. Occasionally, a particular textbook was "recommended", but there would always be ample library copies available, and often you wouldn't _really_ need it. I'd have about 4-6 courses per semester, so I'd spend maybe 25-30 EUR on our own textbooks. Occasionally I'd have to shell out for a traditional textbook, and that would utterly dominate that semester's materials budget.

The future's already here, it's just not evenly distributed.

It's always going to be behind NAT, so unless it implements UPnP or polls the server or does some other kind of NAT traversal, it's never going to receive any packets. You'd jave to DMZ, manually port forward, or VPN/proxy for packets from outside of the LAN to hit it.

If you're looking for a more insightful history to the "penny university", the Wikipedia page contains much more detail about coffee houses and some analysis of the pamphlet.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_coffeehouses_in_the_...

It's a fascinating read. Trying to capture how people lived and thought a few hundred years ago is very difficult today because much history is now overlaid with politics and filters. The Wikipedia page paints a picture that seems feasible based on my wide reading of history.

The resobscura speculates (without evidence) that the pamphlet was most probably written by a man. This view is not shared by the Wikipedia article for multiple reasons that anybody can speculate over.

That's right, they don't have a pinning mechanism for site operators. They have something called Certificate Reputation[1] which works alongside SmartScreen and should theoretically be of use for attacks like this, but I haven't heard much about it and I don't know if it helped here.

I loved OS/2. Back in the '90s I ran the later OS/2 Warp version and it was pretty solid. I remember running a BBS in a window and was still able to use the OS for other things. Multitasking like that was still a novel thing back then.
> We need to find a way to make 100 more Allen Downeys

Well, as this reminds me of a discussion on here that illustrated why 'hopeless idealism' in the face of actual problems of market economics tends never to amount to much, the "answer" readily jumps to mind:

"Create a model for a market which rewards actors who behave similar to [Allen Downeys] and punishes those who do not, and migrate communities to instead use such a system."

Of course, it's a nontrivial (monumental, tbh) solution, but frankly, so is the problem it addresses - we'd have them solved if they weren't. Nonetheless, that is what is needed to 'solve' the problem (rather than merely sidestep it - though that could also be done as a non-lasting 'patch' solution).

Fortunately in this time of flux, few are confident in what "will" actually happen, and thus many are willing to try out new systems. Perhaps someone like you (or even you) will construct such a model in Ethereum or some other market platform which ends up being the dominant one in 20 years.

This is weird. It's not a matter of what was popular a few years ago.

Static typing didn't "stop" being popular while dynamic typing "was" popular, nor have opinions "changed". Dynamic and static typing have coexisted almost the entire history of programming and will continue to do so.

And so will the flamewars about them, unfortunately.
Probably. But I'm picky about hotels and prefer certainty.
Well, everyone's different. I don't know what kind of gotcha is hiding in the word 'effective'. It's routine for me to spend 14 hours in a day actually writing and refactoring code, and it seems pretty wildly effective to me.

I wonder how such properly-designed extensions would look like in Common Lisp or any other language with similar metaprogramming capabilities.
This is the kind of story that raises far more questions than it answers. There is way too much murkiness and innuendo to discern fact from speculation, opinion and fiction.

I mean was the whole thing a setup to frame Bo? Because it seems right from the beginning he had tremendous support and clout to get away with what he did, you just can't run a city the way you want and take down powerful interests without top level support. He was part of the 25 member party politburo all the way through and minister of commerce. So this is one of the top guys in China. At the end it looks more like political intrigue than something personal.

I did not equate scientists with priests. Read my comment more carefully: From the perspective of one who cannot verify their claims, there is no difference between the claims made by scientists or priests--they are both taken on faith. You are not thinking objectively.

> I simply believe that science is put to a much higher rigor and standard than any religion or philosophy out there, period. You obviously don't believe that.

Your claim is too general to be useful. What kind of science? Carried out by whom? Under what circumstances?

What I believe is simple: 1) Science is carried out by humans; 2) Humans are fallible; therefore 3) Science is fallible. This is supported by even articles posted here on HN recently, which discuss the corruption of the peer review process.

Tell me, do you honestly believe that science is infallible? That we can trust whatever any scientist says about anything? Or do you believe that if the percentage of scientists that claims x is greater than 50% then it must be so? Or some other arbitrary percentage? That would be simply illogical, as history shows many examples of the majority of scientists being wrong about something.

If you believe that science is above corruption, you have greater faith than most religious people do in their religions.

Finally, you completely ignored my second point: "How many dissenting scientists do you require to conclude that the matter is not settled beyond debate?" It's a simple question; will you answer it?

Or, when presented with a point that challenges your presuppositions, will you ignore it instead of wrestling with it? I can't take you seriously if you do the latter.

The largest MySQL-based companies have the resources to switch to another database if there was a compelling reason, but they do not do so. The db fleet sizes of these companies also dwarfs that of the largest companies using Postgres. The "legacy systems" argument is faulty logic.

Facebook is in the process of changing MySQL storage engines (from InnoDB to MyRocks), which is a massive migration involving a large number of engineers, yet they're still staying with MySQL overall because it's the best fit for their OLTP workload. Since pg doesn't even support pluggable storage engines, it would be a total non-starter, among many other reasons.

This wasn't clear at all from your comment.

All I was saying is that we already have auth systems and don't use them. The DB has auth. As you noted, your OS has auth. And yet we insist on reimplementing auth for our users again and again (often with terrible flaws). It does feel like something is wrong with this.
Wasn't the entire point of picking SHA-256 to both check the integrity of the existing ledger (why it's a hash) AND as a proof of work lottery?

The "problem" being that instead of being a proof of actual work, shortcuts in the work were found.

It seems then that a good solution would be to force many different types of proof of work. Different basis of hashes are obvious, but maybe some type of actual work every so often as well.

I'm from Rome but also lived for a long time in Milan, and I've seen with my eyes taxi drivers crash the uber app presentation and start firing tear bombs in the crowd (there were kids it was a tech fest in a city park) or read about the physical aggressions towards uber drivers (including women, three taxi drivers one night blocked and threatened a woman driving for uber and destroyed her car).
Recently there's been a taxi driver's strike and those that were against the strike said they disagreed but were not going to work as well because of the threats they received.
this is the real situation: mob and fascists together.

This study looks bad across the board. For one, they're writing a parser for a context-free grammar. That's not a good test for the benefits of static typing which often happen with very different types of data mixing, modifying large programs with less breakage, and so on. Contrary to your statement, there's a lot of reports and articles out there where switching to formal specs or a stronger type system reduced the number of defects. The first were in high-assurance where formal specs caught inconsistencies left and right. Later on, military and safety-critical firms looked at defect rates of C, C++, and Ada to find Ada's type system knocked them to half. This counter-example is about something so straight-forward there's many tools that can automate it with one formally-verified for correctness (w/ strongly typed language).

Next, I look at the languages themselves. Java's type system is so weak to barely have any benefit. Terrible choice to test static typing. The control language is then a language based on Smalltalk... the original, great language for dynamic, OOP, and complex programs... that's even simpler than Java & could possibly boost productivity just due to easier review/revision. A proper comparison would be with something like Ocaml, Haskell, Ada/SPARK, or Rust that really uses a type-system with the high-level & composition benefits of something like Smalltalk. Makes me lean toward Ocaml or Haskell than others which slow productivity fighting with compiler.

This paper doesn't prove anything for or against the topic. It's quite weak. The authors should do their next one on the kind of program that others in the field reported benefited from static, strong typing. Then, attempt an experiment on same type of software between a productive language with powerful, type system and a productive, dynamic language of similar complexity. Alternatively, try to modify similarly large applications in parts that touch a lot of the code base without breakage for both static and dynamic languages. Then, we might learn something.
For sure HPKP has plenty of issues, but with HSTS you just need to commit to using HTTPS for the next X days. That seems pretty doable, especially with free automated certificates or CAs with enterprise support.
This is about hitting the high notes, as Joel Spolsky put it in his [post].

A lot of people are good software engineers and can wrote good software. To get Jeff Deans that write revolutionary software, we don't yet have a better method than training people in these abstract, very hard problems, making them compete and hoping for the best.

I think you can't simply reuse the rpi3 env, but you can use it as a template to how to get this working for the beaglebone black.
So you would need to get a cross compiler and then extract the sysroot to compile Qt on your own. After you got Qt compiled, you will also need to make some changes similar to these [1]
But I think the hardest part might be to get Qt compiled for the beaglebone black, because the info I found online seems to be a bit outdated.

Langauge is rarely the first bottle neck . This also doesn't apply in the same away for data stores and when your app is stateful. Scaling rdbms is not the simple. Query fine tunning and performance optimisation for single slow queries cannot be solved by just more resources. Just from a database pov Handling replication , multi master caching , backup and fail over especially can fuck you over . In b2b a single data loss event can kill your business, same with security .

What's the point here? Is this not common sense? Too much of anything is bad. Why bring complicated subjects radioactivity to this point when all you need to do is use the example of water, ie: you can die from consuming too much water, and it is called water poisoning.

Is your point merely that everything is Schrödinger's chemical unless we study it? That is a stupid stance. This article is clearly associating a = b+c, ie: this chemical is causing bad things for your intestinal microbes which leads to diabetes, etc.

I feel like you are maliciously attempting to downplay the severeness of the studies' results by introducing the Schrödinger argument. I am calling the quote by ET Jaynes to be pointless and equating his example of radioactivity to the aforementioned water example.

With this equation in mind, are you trying to say that a small dose of our insecticides is good for us, but, we are abusing it? Do you have any grounds for this? Even E.T Jaynes implies there is no proof for this statement because of the lack of studies. Why would you downplay this?
You were a year earlier, nice :)
Loads of physical knobs is the most intuitive UI for this kind of thing. You can find the control you want to tweak by combination of it's position and touch very fast and in many cases without purposefully looking at the thing.

When we tried to build touch based mixing/lighting console (large capacitive touch panels were significantly cheaper than loads of physical knobs and motorized faders even ~5 years ago) we found this out very fast and scrapped the whole project.

For synthesizer control, people probably aren't that dependent on using it without looking, but the part of quickly finding what you want to tweak still stands.
