I disagree that it won't harm the prosecutors and police.

The rest of what you said is exactly my point. Those people will get hurt because they now question some basic parts of our legal system. They might violate a subpoena that they mistakenly think is fake and end up on the wrong side of the law.

At the same time, those people are also hurting the court cases that they were supposed to attend.

Prosecutors who can't get their witnesses to come in to trial are going to have a bad time, even if they can later convict those people for violating a subpoena.

The only time it helps them is when people comply with the fake subpoena and talk when they didn't have to... And there's some serious question about the evidence that produces. It wouldn't be the first evidence thrown out because it didn't follow the correct protocols and/or violated civil rights.

And what happens when this all comes to light? Do they throw out every case where this appears to have happened, if it's found to be illegal?

To me, this is a complete negative for prosecutors in the long run.
Back when we were thriving (as recently as 2015) my top engineers made about $400K/year in salary, bonus, & 401K. That does not include health insurance, we footed the bill for 100% of the health insurance and we covered the whole family.

Truth in advertising though. I'm the founder, I'm weird, I ran that company much more like a cooperative than just about anyone else would have. So I don't expect that comp to be that commonplace.

I also tracked salaries at the big companies and made sure we were competitive. In general, we were very competitive but it is possible to get a better package, not common, but possible. One of my guys went to Saleforce or Linkedin, and I could not beat their package (well I could but then I'd have to bump everyone else up to that and we all agreed that didn't make sense for us).
It wouldn't be much of a deal to me either, as I'd just use a Wifi-enabling task. Though I'd say many users would appreciate such feature.
Neat but SMAZ has better performance :-)

Learning lisp or functional programming is more of a conceptual experience than a practical one.

That is not to say it is not practical to learn lisp, but the state of the programming world as it is today makes it so that it is less practical to learn lisp than it is to learn about say something like java.
I completely agree, by "openness" I meant the lack of ACL/permissions for different data. This is improving on Android, but I don't keep up with it anymore so I'm not sure how much they've caught up or if what is released/planned is marketing hype.

Of course, Android has always sandboxed and prevented apps from talking to each other directly, but the restrictions on iOS have also always been much higher. iOS has never had the issues Android has had with SD cards. As someone who became an Android developer almost right after it came out, it was this freedom that attracted me.

That was true a decade ago. The tooling has caught up in most languages, so it's trivial to embed your SQL in application code and use it in an environmentally independent matter (eg to invoke in unit tests), provided you take the few minutes initially to set things up correctly instead of the all-too-common "fuck it we're a startup" manner people seem to love.

Yes, but you have to consider that funding will normally go to research programs that can show steady progress - even if it'll be 10 million times more work (of the same kind) to have a potentially useful result.

Here's the discoverer of the electron, J. J. Thomson, explaining it far better than I can:

“If you pay a man a salary for doing research, he and you will want to have something to point to at the end of the year to show that the money has not been wasted. In promising work of the highest class, however, results do not come in this regular fashion, in fact years may pass without any tangible results being obtained, and the position of the paid worker would be very embarrassing and he would naturally take to work on a lower, or at any rate, different plane where he could be sure of getting year by year tangible results which would justify his salary. The position is this: you want this kind of research, but if you pay a man to do it, it will drive him to research of a different kind. The only thing to do is to pay him for doing something else and give him enough leisure to do research for the love of it.”
I have doubts about the cost effectiveness, but they are fading.
At that time, Debian Tesing was more stable than a standart Fedora.
At least on the West Coast it seems pretty common - considering that companies here also pay for your health insurance, it seems like an overall decent idea.
The idea is still interesting. I imagine using some dictionary based compression and crawled data to build a dictionary could get us somewhere.
So I guess by the down vote you think I posted something factually wrong? Or you don't care to learn about it.
The particular implementation I had in mind is Erlang. Due to the green thread implementation, immutable data, and message passing, Erlang is able to offer a simple, robust concurrency platform. Of course it's still possible to write very sequential code but generally someone writing idiomatic Erlang won't have to go out of their way to get concurrency.
I get what you are getting at, but yes there are still massive amounts of Earth that are incredibly wild.

Schema changes, and how they affect up-time, are an implementation detail in relational databases. It's possible to design a relational database engine that doesn't require huge amounts of downtime to alter the schema of large tables. It's all in how the data is stored.

Of course, the reality of the situation is all that matters, and most database engines at that time did not offer such features. So, I don't necessarily fault people for trying to find solutions that simply worked for their needs.
Do you know the 3 most important things in Real Estate?
Location, Location and Location.

Also, besides the location, a cheap rent is crucial to your success. I have seen dentists (in Europe) going out of business because of the rent. In many businesses you are in fact in the real estate business. Have you seen the recent movie about McDonnalds? "Founder"?

Probably every (commonly found) derivative example, and the majority of languages with first class functions all come from this example.

MIT introducing Scheme and those two professors writing SICP are a large part of the reason for the current functional programming landscape. Without them I believe they'd still be as niche as APL.

I think this article doesn't go far enough with its championing of blocking certain ads. All ads should be blocked and web services which rely on them should find a better way of sustaining themselves profitably.

The malicious nature of ads is not new. Ads have always been infested with malware, tracking, and hideous graphics. Taken to their logical extreme (as Facebook has done), ads can also manipulate users to a degree far more dangerous than a TV or radio ad could. Ads are just the surface of a much deeper problem with the Internet, which is that most massive web services are paid for with user data rather than a mutually agreed upon price.

As far as I'm concerned, there is no reason to willingly view an advertisement to support a useful service. This amounts to a donation which you are not really in control of. Just circumvent the ad and buy from the company or send them money if you value their services.
Pretty common.
My off-grid friends struggle to get house insurance, because without "grid electricity" insurance companies don't consider a house worthwhile (it's actually a really, really nice house, worth close on a million dollars now).

Anyway, my friend asks the insurance assessor how often he has a power failure at his house "Oh, only a couple of times a year" says the man.

In 10 years living off grid, my friends have never had a single outage.
You see this a lot in the context of building a regression and often times the assumptions are violated:

* Linear relationship between predictor and response and no multicollinearity
* No auto-correlation (statistical independence of the errors)
* Homoscedasticity (constant variance) of the errors
* Normality of the residual(error) distribution.

As the paper suggests, plotting the data visually will help you avoid these assumptions, but also just making sure you don't violate the assumptions w/ statistical tests would work too. For example, uou can look at your residuals (loss) as an indicator of good fit. If your residuals do not follow a normal distribution, this is typically a warning sign that your R2 score is dubious.

There are a few statistical tests for Residual Normality, particularly, the Jaque-Bara test is common and available in scipy.

So, I would argue, you don't even need to visualize the data. I describe this more here: http://www.eggie5.com/104-linear-regression-assumptions

You can use that but you can also bundle Electron apps with WebKit/Blink if you want. Both cases are possible but using the "Windows way" leads to smaller downloads since it doesn't require bundling the engine.

It can't be any worse than downloading random exe files off the web. Most people are scared to install software on their computers at this point.
Sure there are plenty of apps that can do that for you. But, I think that this has "better" music. Plus I can personally guarantee there won't be too much swearing. Most of the songs don't have too many lyrics.
For me, a big one is being able to get only the audio stream of a video. Then, I can listen to it while my phone is locked, saving both power and data.

This usually requires either a 3rd-party app, or a subscription to Youtube Red, and obviously has no direct analogue on a laptop/desktop.
Yeah, profiling helps a little. It taught me that queries flush (and you can easily go n^2 from that if you're not careful).

More recently, we've had n+1 issues (putting a printing breakpoint in EntityType.loadByUniqueKey helped me track down where). My hack to get around that was to do a bulk Criteria query up front to pre-load the session cache with the entities that were being fetched one at a time.

There were a lot of quirks that I've had to learn over the last decade, and I'm still discovering more.
This approach generates regular expensive rewrites that a typically slightly more flexible and/ or modular solution would avoid.

The key words are slightly. The trap is to overgeneralise or apply a technology or approach like a hammer without understanding its limitations.

Out is impossible to foresee the future, but trivially easy to see current requirement and extrapolate a bit.
I view the publish date as much to help people know if they had seen it already.

I was just reading about bubble fusion. From the info I found it seemed like the whole reason it won't work is because the researcher that discovered it was dishonest. (And it couldn't be replicated)

But it seems like one experimental design failing shouldn't rule out the entire concept? It seems like it's physically possible, no? Ie nothing in physics rules it out.

It's not about getting offended or not. It's the small assumptions that, when repeated ad infinitum, build up social beliefs and structures that make it harder for certain people to succeed or fit in. The fact that folks on HN or Reddit constantly refer to their anonymous peers with male pronouns might make a female programmer a little less welcome. It may offend her, it may not, but it certainly doesn't help.
And this is different from a vacation how?
I don't see a problem with what you're doing as a means of development, since you're basically stuffing a bunch of data that you may or may not need in the future into a single field with the intent of breaking it out later if you do. I will ask whether this is really saving you any time or simplifying your development at all, given that you essentially impose structure iteratively as the need arises. You're not really schema-less, you're schema-lite, so you're maintaining some structure somewhere. Also, depending on the contents of the jsonb field, you may be defining its structure somewhere, even if it's just naming the elements.

I don't have a lot of experience with it, but Postgres supports indexing on jsonb fields. If you do end up in a situation where your keys are in the right place and you have some data in a jsonb, you may still be able to get at it efficiently.

Part of this is how we approach development as well. For one, I'm now some management type that makes powerpoints, so any code I write is on my own projects. But when I did more of this, my approach was always to start with an RDBMS unless I had a pretty specific use case to not use one. Having done it long enough, I am being honest that I find maintaining a database schema, migrating changes, and all of that to be pretty trivial. That's my approach, but I don't see an issue with yours if you think it's making you more efficient.

I should ask, because I'm assuming it, but make sure whatever you're stuffing into the jsonb field is true row-level data. Try to avoid putting data in there that "belongs" on another row - at the extreme it could provide some unintended exposure. Hypothetically, a row containing Customer A's demographics in the "person" table has a jsonb field - it may be tempting to put some basic demos about other customers B, C and D connected to that customer A in some way, but that's data you'd not want to expose as belonging to Customer A. Yet, if it comes back on the same row, it's as trivial to leak it as it is to retrieve it.

EDIT: To actually answer your question, I don't see how schema-less can have foreign constraints. Foreign constraints are defined in the schema. What I was saying is that if you're going to need joins later, have enough schema to support that.
This would have been great for you and me, but 95% of students won't even try. My kids barely know how the TV works, and have zero interest in learning how computers work, despite my efforts.

It might not be Vogue, but women's magazines often present folks as natural beauty. It is obvious (to me) that it means they have light makeup and/or the photo has been touched up, but the text will rave about how beautiful someone is without makeup. It gets worse with tabloids, who like to say someone is beautiful/ugly when they wake up. Diet and exercise can be the same - sure they look good and have a good diet and workout routine. They also have personal chefs preparing their meals, a personal trainer, and sometimes are naturally thin even without those things.

I'd really just like folks to be honest about this sort of thing. They could just say they got the picture at a nature park instead of acting like it was a lucky shot. It doesn't change the wonderfulness of the picture.

Lisp has the minimal syntax for lists:

(a b c d)

where other languages require separating commas,
but Haskell has minimal syntax for function application:

f x y z

with no parenthesis needed. (Technically, this is a triple application ((f x) y) z, masked by the convention of application being a left-associative binary operator.)
Myself, I always recognized it from Chomsky's old quote about the mainstream media (1993):

that is, other businesses. The product is audiences.

The problem with youtube is that like a search engine it only highlights a tip of the huge of amount of videos they have. You can't filter by tags, you don't have sub categories, the main categories are broad, the search functionality is basic. Sometimes searching a specific video title will give you a whole bunch of video with different titles before you get the one that has a 100% match. It's like being in a library, you know they have what you want, but no one can find it. That's not only true to youtube but to the Apple Store, to iTunes, to Google Play store...

I find lisp to be the most beautiful and readable language. Lisp has practically zero syntax; all code can be written equally. You can even create your own "syntax" / language features without waiting years for the approval of a committee (I'm looking at you, JavaScript).

2) No, though I have been tempted occasionally. In one case the accounts dept was sympathetic with me over their MD being slow every invoice signing off, so I'd go and have tea with them for an hour each Friday afternoon and book it as paid time "OH:Admin". We reckoned that that easily covered any interest costs to me, and made Friday so much better!
