I fully agree. Mentorship matters. It has had a positive impact in my life, too. But to expect it in lieu of internal motivations is to deny one's own internal agency. One needs both.
To me bringing someone from they shell does not sound positive. Snails, tortoises and similar creatures would not be happy about that, why should humans be?

As per my understanding, Postgres-XL is not comparable to Patroni. Postgres-XL is comparable to PostgreSQL. Postgres-XL shards the data across multiple data nodes. Where as Patroni uses etcd, consul or zookeeper to provide HA for any Postgres cluster using replication (Data is written only to a single instance and replicated further).

I think you meant Stolon. Stolon is quite comparable to Patroni and has more features than Patroni, but I am not sure how many people are using it. I found more resources for Patroni as compared to stolon.

You shouldn't call something 'GitHub Standards' unless it's approved by GitHub.

Actually, given what Osiris appears to be getting at, it is because Unix shells in general have no notion of a PATHEXT system, and so do not go around tacking .COM, .CMD, .EXE, and the like onto the ends of command names.

The not searching the current directory is well known in the Unix and Linux world; and to be fair so too is the idea that if the filename of one's executable Perl script ends in .pl, or the filename of one's executable shell script ends in .sh, then the .pl and the .sh have to be explicit in the command name that one types. The idea that one can run notepad.exe with just notepad comes very much from the DOS and Windows world, here.

The Windows NT POSIX Subsystem actually provided a whole bunch of shims so that one could run various Win32 housekeeping utilities from a POSIX shell without explicitly adding ".exe", and a Korn shell adjustment to allow case-insensitive searches for Win32 commands.

Yes!! Love me a good show. I'll be following your tweets.
With all due respect, it isn't equivalent to a program coming in basic/pro versions. And if it is, then it is not piracy, or at least is not the same as downloading a pirated copy of a software and running it (even without messing with the code, e.g. getting a GOG game).

My argument relies that beside the difference in functionality, the real separation between a basic and a pro version of a software is a license.

If we where to draw a parallel between basic/pro software and BOTW, then we have Nintendo producing a device that more or less gives anyone who touches it unboxed a license to use the pro version of the software, and is trasferable/resellable.

Now, this "license" might not grant right to copy and redistribute, but since it is not exclusive per se it should be equivalent to let a friend use it or "clone it" and send it to a friend, therefore reducing the piracy question to "is it piracy to use someone else's amiibo (with is consent)?". I think the answer to the latter is no.
Absolutism is counterproductive. There are millions of people who care about the environment but still use cars, electricity, shipping, and air travel to work towards making the world better for everyone.

Being an absolutist many times can lead to you only feeling smugly superior while not really making a difference.

There's a lot of well-founded speculation that the twin, contemporaneous technology shifts of electric cars and autonomous driving will, in the long run, lead to decreased--possibly radically decreased--car ownership, as the cars become more practical and convenient to summon on demand. That may offset a lot of the per capita charging arithmetic being discussed here.

Why would life be ridiculously common? It cannot appear by itself, that would be "spontaneous generation" [1], a long rejected theory. The Earth is extremely suitable for life. It could've easily supported independently evolved life-forms. Yet every living thing we know has a common ancestor, including extinct organisms. Just based on that fact, the odds are firmly stacked against other life anywhere near us. The fact that we can observe life on Earth is just a consequence of Anthropic principle [2] and says nothing about the probability of life emerging on other planets.

You're still saying people average 300 miles of their own car per day. That is 100k miles per year. The average is maybe 10% - 15% of that.

> Apple might want to get into the CPU business

Apple is already in the CPU business?

Apple has chosen to keep the CPU exclusive to their mobile products as they obviously feel it gives them a competitive advantage. They could sell the SoC to others if they wanted to.

I know what you wrote and that's what I responded to. I don't care what you do with the rest of your life, I don't see it so there is nothing to comment. I commented on the visible part.
While I believe this comment is sincere, it really adds little to the conversation.

The first part of it (apple has cash revenues and offshore investments make sense) has always made sense for any offshore company. You don't add any evidence at all to suggest this is more likely than apple buying, say, Blackberry.

The second part of your comment seems to put forward in support of the first thing you state, but adds nothing other than a link to the wayward speculation that often plagues apple's hypothetical purchases.
The Apple-Disney fantasy has been peddled around for years. It crops back up every couple of years, when some analyst or business writer dusts it off for attention.

For example, 2011:

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/why-apple-should-buy-disney...
it's something that doesn't matter that you don't ever have to worry about again. it's a huge win.
I have had the opportunity of testing shots with & without faces, the conversation rate is way higher when faces are included.

In the past, cropping to remove faces was done for costs reasons. The retailers paid the model for printed use only and had to pay extra to use them on ecommerce websites.

We ran A/B tests, paid the models rights for ecommerce usage and demonstrated a steep increase in conversion.

The rights issue is the reason some companies provide "paste a face on pictures" automated services. Basically you buy the rights on a few headshots and the service stitches the faces & clothing together (see OpenCV stich functions...).

The problem is that while decent, the services often end up in the uncanny valley, actually decreasing conversion.

The CLR thread pool is a pretty reliable workhorse. For throughput concerns you can benefit from a more fine-tuned approach to threading, though - each job added to the CLR thread pool involves at least two allocations in most cases, so you end up paying additional GC costs on top of the scheduling and context switch costs.

In cases where you know you are going to be running very many jobs on your thread pool you can get improved throughput by assigning each thread a specific job type so that it can blast through many jobs of the same type with better locality and less overhead. You can also leverage the underlying platform thread pool to spin up the job type workers and run them for a bit to avoid managing thread counts yourself.

To a degree if you're using an existing parallel framework it may do this for you, but at least on the CLR the options there like Parallel.For aren't so great - lots of abstraction overhead that will show up in profiles.
Just out of curiosity, what are your issues with Tinder? I haven't really used it a lot, but it seems very nicely-designed. Its performant, the UI is intuitive, it does one thing and does it well. I would almost use it as a case-study in good mobile-first design thinking.

Actually, command line editing and history recall for such programs is in the console. That's where the actual mechanism of DOSKEY lives. That's where history recall lives, governed by SetConsoleHistoryInfo().

One can of course write command interpreters that have their own editing systems, rather than use the one provided by the console. JP Software has done this for many years.

I think the biggest difference is the funding went from unrestricted to being very specific. A lot of questions are asked before money is given. But the answers for an interesting project may involve concepts and vocabulary that do not yet exist, ideas that are not currently trendy. While I can understand the desire to avoid misallocation, this model assumes the funder has a better idea of what needs resources that the funded. From the second point in the answer:

> 2. Fund people not projects — the scientists find the problems not the funders. So, for many reasons, you have to have the best researchers.

So yes, the total amount may be there but is now diverted.
Inefficient != ineffective. If you're accessing a resource via the Internet, you're testament that public funding of R&D can work.

There's different sizes of TODO. For anything beyond small cleanups, yeah, an issue is probably warranted. But, filing tasks in the issue tracker aren't always the best solution either. They often become out of sync with the state of the code, and who's going to trawl through all of those low-priority issues on a regular basis? To mitigate the de-synchronization, I tend to embed links to the issue in the comment like: # TODO: Frob the foobar issue #4376
It's a layout aspect and there's nothing wrong with it. If you like pure text articles you can just use an app like Pocket that extracts only the text from every article you add.

Zero chance everyone starts wearing VR headsets for office work. First, there will never be a need for the majority of routine office work to take place by wearing VR headsets (ie strapping smartphones to your eyeballs). Second, it would be very damaging to the eye health of employees to do so (for at least half the work day). The legal problems alone guarantees it can never happen.

Long duration gaming is still a niche and always will be. The average person doesn't game hours per day and does not want to (because of the fundamental difference between passive and active entertainment). 5 to 10 hours per week is irrelevant in terms of increasing electrical demand due to 4K gaming.

That is a shame to hear. As recently as 2011 I thought that MEC's house brand gear was much higher quality and had better design and features than REI's house brand. The MEC stuff I bought was comparable to some of that made by more specialist outdoor manufacturers and was a fraction of the price. I still have most of it, and the things I gave away are still in use. I think REI very much caters to the car camper and Instagram hiker consumers who don't really go outdoors. You really have to be careful with the stuff you buy there.

This is direct result of capitalism.

Employees who put their heart and soul to build something don't own it in capitalistic model. Only the owner by virtue of being owner of private property/company has right to it.

Treating people as means to an end, which capitalism encourages leads to this model.

I think economy dependent on human creativity will hit a ceiling, if they continue to remove ownership of content from the creators. The creators can be anything from a humble web developer or someone like your friend.

+1 Though I do leave the occasional TODO or FIXME comment in code I prefer using deprecation attributes so that it results in a compiler warning. I spend a lot of time in Xcode so for me I like that autocomplete shows the method with a strikethru and the compiler warning is highlighted inline. It becomes glaringly obvious to everyone that we're adding to the technical debt by using the API.
There is a slight warning, about 5 seconds where you can hear a "whining" sound as the device charges up. It's not very loud though I've heard it being in the same room as patients. I could see it being missed if you were doing something loud/active.

The reason there isn't more warning is that you want to shock VT before it degenerates into ventricular fibrillation, which is much more serious.

Your question about falls is a good one and it comes down to how much of a trade off you strike with risks of VT/VF vs risks of the shock.
