I don't know about "perfect", it certainly can fit the relational mold though.

I'll take a shot in the dark and say that the advantage of using a NoSQL platform to host a forum is that you can very quickly load all resources relating to a post by storing them in one database document.

That does mean you probably need to polyfill certain functionality, but the traditional case for NoSQL is made by saying a blog can load a given post's comments, media, etc. with one query. Forums are a similar animal.
I'm glad someone was able to figure out what I meant.
I guess it depends on the nature of why you left. For instance: I would not post such a thing (or at least I would do so anonymously) if I had a very negative experience with a company.

However, if the reason I left was simply one of cultural differences, or some other not-quite-a-fit scenario, I would certainly have no qualms attaching my name to it. Like I said, that's often something you're asked about in an interview anyway.
It's a shame when software companies follow the path of handing over the CEO role to ever less technical people until the CEO barely knows what the company does. I always admire the companies that can avoid that path.

Ah yes, the efficient markets theory - never before debunked ;-)

Jokes aside, the truth is that with the original definition, there are so many barriers to markets being efficient and behaving in that idealized way that in reality I think it's a unicorn that can't exist, or at least rare enough to take with a huge grain of salt. It's a simplified model of how things might work, and perhaps if you squint a little it does seem to work that way, but not when you look closer. People behave irrationally all the time, there are all sorts of factors and incentives, social, political, and game-theoretic, that prevent actors from operating in certain desirable ways.

I think it's hilarious that Chinatown may have out-capitalisted the capitalists, and cut out many middlemen to deliver better product for cheaper. Sad that they probably won't get much recognition for it, perhaps only some lobbying to block it.

From what I understand, these networks are both small and very local. That makes them undesirable to large chains.

This is also the reason that Whole Foods has gone downhill, they used to use similar networks but as they've expanded they've been forced to use larger more mainstream suppliers.
There's a great early SO podcast with Jeff A. and Joel Spolsky (Fogcreek) where they argue about whether developers should know C and/or C++. Joel is rigidly in favor of it, whereas Jeff thinks it's pointless. It's a great back-and-forth, hearing these two successful guys scratching their heads at each other's comments and stubbornness.
3 years sounds extreme. How is a person supposed to run a business with that kind of law? More than 6 months paid leave is too long from a business perspective. The government can tax and guarantee income, but I am not for paid parental leave > 6 months paid by businesses.
One of the major misunderstandings even many biologists have about how a cell works is a complete misconception of how jam-packed and dynamic a living cell actually is. See the following images for a pretty simulation of what a cell actually "looks" like on the inside:

Physicists/chemists often make fun of biology as "blob-logy" because we tend to draw biological systems as Blob-1 interacting with Blob-2 which leads to a change in Blob-3. It's a very useful abstraction, but it's also limited. In reality all these blobs are jammed together and moving around, creating a lot of random noise in the system. This is because every component in a cell is working at nano-scale (proteins are to a 1st approximation about 5nm in diameter). The rules are different at that scale, we don't experience anything like them in our daily lives.

In other words, the components of the cell aren't doing chemistry at a bench, passing the results of one reaction to the next reaction, it's more like doing chemistry in a mosh pit.

Biology has developed coping mechanisms for this insanity, but analogies drawn with things like computer processors and macro-world items are going to be somewhat wrong because of the inherent differences in scale.
Good use case for n-dimensional probability density functions. Query a region by a hypercube.
Ultimately, if you want to know whether a particular photographer's work is genuinely from the wild, you need to check into their body of work. Ideally, they'll be honest about the use of such animal parks - for the overwhelming majority of cases, though, if they claim the subjects to be wild, they will be.

That's not to say the photos won't have been processed, of course - that's entirely up to individual taste, whether that's casting it to monochrome, or boosting the contrast to bring out the skin texture of an elephant.

In photography circles, parks like those are promoted as a means for enthusiasts to see species they'd otherwise have to travel great distances for - rather like a cageless zoo. It's not something I've engaged in[1], but I can understand the appeal from a hobbyist perspective; and understandably, if you're looking for "wildlife" photography on demand, perhaps for an advertising campaign, you're unlikely to commission someone to attempt to obtain just the right photo out in the wild.

[1] My wildlife focus is primarily rabbits, eg "Momentary":

From what I've been seeing from the way they sell and price their other surface devices, and according to some bloggers, MS just wants to set a reference for other manufacturers to make Windows devices. They seem to price their products intentionally higher so that they don't cannibalize Dell, Lenovo, HP and others.
Don't know whether it is a good strategy or not, but that's how they are approaching all their in-house Windows devices
Fusion is the future of energy... and always will be.
You know what they say about models: all of them are wrong, some of them are useful.
I second that. Love my XPS developer edition.

Not really. Drive up to Albany where there is zero foot traffic and the Asian markets are about the same price. They have coolers though.
Why would I be digging through Red Hat's blog to find this, and not find it on the site of the actual thing itself?
5k I believe is the congressional donation limit, but only by one person or org. Generally when digging through public finance statements from congress (that's the sort of crazy I am), I often see the 5k limit hit by multiple entities in the same industry around the same timeframe, so that 5k limit ends up being 50-100k, not including all the other ways to pay for a legislator.

That's not even adressing the issue that ISPs have so much data they could probably run their own blackmail ops and similar dirty tricks if donations weren't enough.
If the people running these shops are eschewing credit cards as part of their cost-cutting, what could possibly possess you to think that "disrupting" them with some other form of middle-man is going to play here?
I've found CSAs to be ridiculously cheap -- Somewhere on the order of $20-$25/week for a big box of produce that is almost always more than I can figure out how to use during said week.

Whenever the words "Freedom" or "Choice" appear in the names of laws I can already guess that the laws will do the exact opposite.
What really blows my mind is that we seem to be stuck in terms of single-core performance. Passmark score of Ryzen 1800X is only 25% higher than middle-class, low power i5-6260U[1], despite over 1GHz difference in maximum frequency. Given that, it is really suprising that 8 core processors didn't become popular earlier

Just the module itself is selling for $530 at Arrow, so I don't think your price target will be hit anytime soon.

However, if you want a fairly powerful 64-bit ARM system with a non-expandable 8gb of RAM, I think that's the way to go right now.
I like the 4th option. Technical staff and management of sites that serve malware through their ad services should be found guilty of gross negligence, the corporate veil broken, and should be personally financially liable for all the damage their malware caused, in addition to criminal penalties and prison time.
Thanks for the lovely (and elaborate) write-up!
What is this about time measurement? Can you get frequency invariant nanosecond resolution timestamps from Ryzen with a single instruction like you can with Intel?
To be fair, though, the macro-based River of Insanity newbie Lispers sometimes travel down is rarely based on reader macros.
I think you missed the part about it being serverless. I think the idea is to integrate the logic into the client.
But then you get to avoid writing JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

All of that stuff (post counts / signatures / badges) was part of trying to encourage it to be a community.
Free market economics always works best in an actual marketplace, where vendors are competing stall-to-stall.

Most Americans buy groceries from a large corporate-owned store that they drive to and has everything, which compete with other large corporate-owned one-stop-shop that you have to drive to.
It works only as long as there are more Dabbawallas willing to do what they do. Once their kids (or grandkids) decide they can earn more/do other professions...who will deliver the lunch?
You think I'm moving the ball because you're convinced I'm arguing something I'm not arguing. You're convinced I'm arguing about the value of an MBA rather than why they exist and what they're designed to do. It's possible other people upvoting my original post also misunderstood my point.

You think I'm moving the ball to something meaningless because you want to debate the value of an MBA and I don't.
What about writing code which the 1x programmers can easily understand and extend with 2x productivity?
Thanks for the feedback; vultr seems to have newer hardware which results in faster servers; but I also read some where else about their bad customer service.
this rarely gets mentioned in these articles but it's extremely important. The Chinese food culture is substantially different than the Western food culture, and I don't just mean the items on the menu.

Chinese don't eat raw foods at all, and especially not vegetables, which they correctly (by the standards of Chinatown produce) view as being unsanitary until thoroughly cooked.

They have created a market that is efficient by eschewing the standards of sanitation that Western produce markets use. That's not to say that this is bad. Their food culture is fully adapted to it and it doesn't produce epidemics of food-borne illness in their community because they handle and cook food appropriately. The same approach wouldn't work if it was mostly Westerners buying the food though. A taste for raw baby kale salad makes this entire approach to food marketing non-viable.
I don't know why they decided to launch 10 S with a Macbook competitor. Makes zero sense - launch it with a Surface 4 or a Surface "Lite" or something that costs < $500. Or are they not intending to compete with Chromebooks anymore?

Even then, the device itself is severely gimped - only 1 USB 3, no USBC. While the display looks like it should be nice the fact that the $1,000 base model only offers 4GB of RAM is nothing short of absurd.
Most ads. I am OK with manufacturers, merchants and so on advertising the existence of their goods/ services/ pricing. Communicating the existence of your commercial offering to consumers is a legitimate business activity. But I agree that a great deal of advertising consists of psychological manipulation and that's bad, and the people who do it for a living should feel bad about themselves.
Yes, Free is very well known here in my country, it has a great reputation.

Your assumption makes sense to me, and probably is close to the truth.
I've been running Ubuntu on my SP3 for years. The wireless drivers were a bitch and required patching the kernel before 4.4 but other than that everything worked nicely. It was just a matter of time getting the kinks fixed.
Who says the market for groceries is efficient? It's consolidated and segmented, so less competitive action = lazy retailers and high prices.

Why do you think Amazon is sort of price competitive with delivery?
I'm one of those people who don't like his blog, I've never emailed him tho. It's just personal preference to not like his style of writing and random bolding / underlining everywhere where he doesn't need to.

But no one should ever like they can't achieve anything just because a bunch of people don't like them or say mean things.

Just continue to do what you enjoy and ignore those who don't care for your passion.
You responded to something about advertising in general ("How about when the service can not exist otherwise?") with something about specific negative advertising practices. Regardless of what the article is about, is seems the comment you replied to was talking about advertising in general (and was itself responding to a comment referring to advertising in general).

I don't think we're going to get very far if we aren't talking about the same thing.

It doesn't stop at forward-mode, and reverse-mode, because finding the optimal mode relates to a complicated graph problem, which, IIRC, is NP-hard in general. Not only that, but most of the difficulty is in getting these tools to work on arbitrary codebases, making it more a software engineering problem rather than a maths problem.
A real-world example of diseconomies of scale?
Wait, but then aren't you merely shifting the serialization cost instead into building capnproto objects? (and perhaps that's more efficient somehow?) It seemed to make more sense when you already have your data as capnproto objects, versus creating objects only to send and discard them, which is similar to regular old serialization again.

I like the joke that my house is fusion-powered; the reactor is of course located in a remote industrial area, for safety, and I rely on an array of roof-mounted receivers for long-range wireless power transfer. Conveniently enough, this reactor happens to be a deregulated and tragically undersubscribed public utility service...
Picnic.nl is doing something like that, and they just closed the largest A round ever at $100m. Just-in-time delivery using fixed routes, small electric trucks and local produce. Can't wait for them to launch in Amsterdam.
Photojournalism is a fraudulent concept from the beginning. There is no platonically neutral way to present a scene, you are inherently making editorial decisions even before you snap the picture, with your choice of positioning/framing/focal length.

Which of these is the "neutral" way to portray this shot? And says who?

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/09/23/23/2CB1092D0000057...

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/09/24/23/2CB066F80000057...

From there it's all a matter of degrees. Pulling a distracting highlight, desaturating a distracting visual element, cloning something out, it's all on a spectrum. But you could do the same manipulations by changing your positioning and perspective a little bit when you take the shot.

Even stuff like white balance and color correction is frowned on, which is incredibly stupid when using a filter or changing your film stock would have the exact same effect. And the fact that digital is inherently a processed format in itself - you're not seeing color, you're seeing black and white run through a Bayer filter and interpreted back to a color image.

Basically, photojournalism is a bunch of people jerking themselves off and handing out awards for getting "the perfect shot" in-camera.
Wow, that sounds horribly oppressive. What that basically means is "For 1 week a month, you can forget about going to the movies, going out to eat, going shopping, or going anywhere where you're not within 5 minutes of a desktop computer. You can probably forget about cooking, too, unless you're willing to start a kitchen fire when you get an alert. Hope you like DoorDash!"

I would literally rather work the counter at Taco Bell than work in an environment like that.

Edit: And forget about going to the doctor, too. I can't wait for an employee to go to the doctor for a medical emergency, miss an alert, get fired, and then launch a spectacular lawsuit.

Y'know, the doctor's office around the corner from me actively bans cell phones past the waiting room. They have huge signs saying "NO CELL PHONES" at the back of the waiting room and in every exam room.
Love the 3D APIs
The main issue I see with fusion is a chart I saw (that I'm not sure how accurate it was though), that showed the amount of funding needed to achieve breakthroughs over time.

All funding for fusion was far below the level needed for breakthroughs to be made, so until the motivation and funding are at the level needed, I think we will probably not get fusion as soon as we need it. Eg 20 years from now instead of 10

> It affects 7% of men and only 0.4% of women, but that’s still one person in 13 overall.

No it's not.

Also: the percentage of men who can't tell highly-saturated red from highly-saturated green is way lower than 7%.
> But do schema-less implement foreign constraints at all????

In MySQL 5.7 you can have tables with JSON columns (like PostgreSQL's JSONB), and also "Generated columns" which are expressions over other columns (e.g. extract a value from the JSON). You can then use those generated columns as the source or destination of foreign key constraints.

Your point was addressed and refuted by the main article.
Business isn't the only thing in the world.
I don't think it's so much a "secret network" as it is a community network. A strong community network is absent for a lot of Americans, so it probably seems strange or secret when they come across one.
This article is also a wonderfully accurate synecdoche of real life: there is no grand plan. There is no "right" way, even if society really tries to push it on us. What hit me the most when maturing into an adult is the tiny echo chambers that are created inside social circles: family, friends, colleagues, communities each draw very strong, thick lines around what is deemed possible, good, right.
The biggest, and scariest, wake up call is that everyone is right, and everyone is wrong.
>Well, by the same logic, we could argue that we don't understand cars

Or, by similar logic, that we don't understand how the planets of the solar system interact.
It seems that in the history of science, initial views of complex things as chaotic got gradually replaced with better abstractions. As in, the word 'planet' means 'wanderer', then there were epicycles, perfect circles, elipses...
I'm not a biologist, but maybe the current abstractions and models of cells are waiting for their Newtons and Mendeleevs to figure out the right models.
Most IDE's have fantastic fuzzy search and go-to-identifier tools you might want to try. I find it much easier to stay concentrated on a change when not needing to hunt files with the mouse.

Okay. I'll become less effective at my job, because the only search engine worth a darn is the second largest dataminer in the world.

In fact, scratch that, I won't even have internet access, because the ISP datamines me. Now I'm out of work and homeless.

No bank accounts either. The only stuff near me are instances of corporate banks that datamine my spending habits all to hell. Same for credit cards.

When you figure out how to do this "just don't do business with companies you don't like" thing in a way that doesn't turn me into a homeless pariah, please let me know.
Well on the retail side, we do have retailers like Aldi's. You bag your own grocery and they have no workers focused on presenting the store in an ideal way. It's an IKEA maze full of warehouse goods like Costco.

I feel like the reason Safeway can't replicate this is because they have regional distributors. Having each and every store work independently requires very shrewd buyers on the retailer side. Furthermore, there's the expectation of having certain items for sale, regardless of demand or price fluctuation. There's no expectation for the Chinatown retailers.
