what I meant is that smallest unit that RS can correct is one word, which usually is byte. So 8 bit errors in one word can be restored with less EC than 8 bit errors in different words.

In case of BCH, location of bit errors does not influence error correction strength, so it is more suited to correcting independant bit errors, while RS is more suited for bursty/whole block errors.
We're going with VAR-care and care as correct pronunciations of both, right? Asked as a native US English speaker.
The Agile Testing Manifesto
I don't have a source but I remember a panel discussion when Page came up with the idea to build a floating city in international waters. This way they could overcome the governmental regulations that slow down innovation, taxes etc.
I can't help but think about Toronto as a testing ground for that. Add facebooks flying internet drones plus some space X space infrastructure. Sounds pretty cool to me.
I wouldn't be too sure. Pence had to break the tie for DeVos and I don't even think they can count on him for the vote considering he's only a seat away from the Presidency.
This is a common possible mistruth.

Death penalty people are probably going to supermaxes which are not cheap.

People tend to get the more expensive death penalty cases and compare then to cheaper prisons.
>Many parents/guardians are not suited to teaching a modern curriculum, or their talents are best employed in other areas.

At least for the first few years of a child's life, I think a parent can handle the curriculum. And it doesn't necessarily have to be time consuming. I think kids will pick things up faster when being taught one on one by a parent as opposed to a stranger. Also, they can go at their own pace rather than at the pace of the class which should allow for a lot more to be crammed into much shorter periods of time.

Maybe in higher grades there will be things that parents cannot adequately teach, but these can be supplemented through means much less drastic than locking kids up for hours and hours in a school environment.

It will require one parent to stay at home with the kids . . . but I don't think that was ever really optional, our society has just chosen to pretend that it was an option because we seem to have our values misplaced.
You just said to use the right tool for the right job, a few comments above.

Everything you are saying here sounds like a job for something other than a relational database.

I would shit a brick and beat any database developer with it that introduced the idea of a class as a primitive. Fuck that happy horse shit.

Also, graphs? Really?

You're looking for an ORM and blaming SQL for not being that.

There is no common database pattern that creates one table as a subset of another table. RDBMS is, by nature and design, not something you modify in that way on the fly. If you want that kind of object oriented functionality, push your data into a cache layer or column store or KV.

You said it yourself. Use the right tool for the right job. Nothing you've said makes even remotely any sense as a criticism of T-SQL or SQL in general. That's not the right tool for what you're talking about.

“In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie1 of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade—which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to ‘How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?’ is ‘Go fuck yourself,’ because you can’t directly relate any of those quantities.” Wild Thing by Josh Bazell.
I am using Notepad++ (I'm a windows user) for more than 5 years for python/django development. Never regreted it - never found something better. I stuck to Notepad++ even when I was using a Mac for some months (through Wine) - I couldn't find something better or faster.

Everything else is way too slow (Atom, VS Code, pycharm) or way too inefficient (Vim / Emacs - inefficient for me they may be great for you) to replace Notepad++. An IDE is not really needed with python - it's not java - If you want to debug something just add a breakpoint to drop directly to your program (I have actually written a tutorial for that https://spapas.github.io/2016/06/07/django-werkzeug-debugger...) - you'll then have a full repl to do whatever you wish!

I really think that notepad++ is a great editor (at least for windows users) and should get more traction.

I had tried sublime text a bit and the only feature I found usefull that notepad++ lacks is the quick switch to file - but I can live without it, especially since Notepad++ is Open Source!

Funny you should say that. I'm from an English-speaking country and I use "sth" a lot.
>I haven't seen one article for turning Atom/ST/Vim/etc into an "IDE" that comes close capability-wise.

Well, then again, I've never seen an IDE that comes close to ST/Vim/etc in their lightness, speed of opening, editing, switching files, and pleasantness of the core editing experience, much less one without a heavy beast of a UI. Or one that you can setup exactly as you want, as heavy or as light as you like, plugin by plugin, without all kinds of crap builtin.
Ironically, Java, which does have both, has a clear and unambiguous distinction between the two.
My definition of what? I literally said there's nothing wrong with taking that approach. I quite purposely did not argue productivity.

My issue is with the acknowledgment by the author that the standard for "IDE" includes debugging capabilities and then goes on to provide a plugin that provides follow-along only via running GDB, which would need to be configured (I assume, since the author does not specify) the normal ways.

If you want to argue UNIX is the IDE I can get behind that definition, but the debugger is absolutely not integrated into Sublime (or Vim or Atom or N++ or ...) in any meaningful way.

>20 years ago, people claimed that IDEs were bad, but now the situation have changed. PyCharm has almost everything that Sublime has

Whether "PyCharm has almost everything that Sublime has" is not really relevant to whether people claimed IDEs were bad -- seeing that people didn't claim IDEs were bad for lack of features.

It's the slugginess and especially the "take it or leave it" bundle of stuff that comes built-in into an IDE that annoy(ed)s people.
Have you considered downloading just the envelope of each email very quickly at the start (takes 2-3 seconds for me with 3,000 emails) and then lazy loading the rest either when they're loaded by the user or slowly over time?

This is the biggest failure I see, relying on tooling instead of build scripts (in whatever form) to build and deploy. The biggest offenders here are CI servers, they add a million and one features when all they should be is a service to configure and periodically run build scripts.
You just need to calm down. Everyone here has spent a certain amount of time dealing with shitty code.

That's all you're really claiming here. That some people write shitty code. And I agree. I've spent plenty of time with almost every flavor of SQL code that was incredibly shitty.

But I don't really blame the languages that much. I blame the people who didn't understand when and where to use one language or another.

And frankly, if you're seriously going to complain about T-SQL vs other "more full featured programming languages" and then make a blanket statement about not using any procedural components on SQL flavors . . . ummm, you might be your own worst enemy here.

> the F-22's and the F-35's avionics both were controlled over a firewire bus

...and what problem would a firewire bus seem to indicate?

(But overall I'd agree that the widely trumpeted F-35 blunder is kind of a PR stunt from the US military for the rest of the world: "look, we've just spent so many billions on top secret military capabilities you know nothing about, so we have super dope secret weapons that will blow you up, and we believe your spies aren't even competent enough to figure out that our secret programs exist, let alone what they do, so we'll "silently" have to brag about labeling it as "spending blunders" for it for some deterrent value"... the problem with this shit is that such an international mil policy strategy with it's possible strategic implications sounds like the prequel of an Apocalypse/WW3 movie... so let's hope this is not the closest variant to the truth or we're all fucked)
Does anyone know of a similar app for iOS?

Hah, you beat me to it. I was in the conceptual stage of something very similar to this.
In VICE HBO Season 5 Ep 7 "Plastic Oceans," Jeanette Garcia, a PhD polymer science researcher at IBM's Almaden Bernal facility in San Jose, discussed chemical recycling of plastic.

(PS: I went to a dark matter
conference at that enormous facility in the mid-90's and was offered a job but couldn't get a work permit being 15 requiring parental and school approvals. Bernal Road is also an awesome, steep road bike route.)
In much or Europe, murder carries 15 to life vs the US where it's 25 to life.

I do realize it is a serious crime; the most serious crime when you deprive another human being of the ability to live. There is no way to ever pay that debt, but at the same time, 25 years is a very long time. 15 years is your birth to a drivers permit. It's enough time to go from a high school diploma to a PhD. It is a significant portion of one's life.

> People jailed for life have usually done some pretty nasty stuff.

In America there are many people serving insanely long terms for even lesser crimes. In places with three strikes laws or point systems, people can be serving over 20 years for low volume drug distribution.

Incarceration does not make a better or safer society. It just creates a new slave class. America has the highest percentage of prisoners of any other country on the planet. It's also the only high-income/western country with the death penalty. It indicates something is terrible wrong with our justice system.

Unless they're child molesters, many of the elderly in prison are in a condition where it is almost impossible for them to physically harm anyone again. What does society gain by not letting them spend the last few years of their lives dying humanely?

> The tragedy is that once a "good practice" becomes mainstream we seem to forget how it came to be, what its benefits are, and most importantly, what the cost of using it is.

Totally agree. You can say this about lots of things really and not just tests.
Actually I have a better argument against this than my other.

No, "products from brand A" is never a category. However, a company may create a brand new market with a product, and they may be the only company with a product in that market for a while. But that still doesn't mean the category is "products by that company", it just means it's whatever new category was created from the product.

For example, the iPhone arguably created a new category of smartphones. But competitors quickly introduced their own products in this same category (e.g. Android).
That's because the English language is a mess with respect as to how something is pronounced.

Oh my:

'During the recession, many market-rate projects that had been OK’d were abandoned by cash-strapped developers and converted into affordable housing projects because the government was the only entity doing any building. The community’s reception of a market-rate project compared with the same project when it became an affordable housing project was noticeably different, says Gloria, who was a San Diego city council member at the time.

“Whatever reason that might be, it could just be a pure no-growth approach or it could be a true fear of what affordable housing is perceived to be—and it’s never what it really is—maybe this [bill] is a way to address that,” he says.'

Amazing how they described this odd reaction without once uttering the words "black people".

Ask HN: Prospect wants to work but won't increase budget – What are my options?
So, we run a small two people agency that offers services relating to wireframes, IA, UX and copywriting. This prospect approaches us to redo their existing website. He says he wants satire-based copywriting along with wireframes and UX support too. Also, his in-house team is not good enough at design and he wants us to direct them as well on design front. He asked us to do a sample so that he knows we understood what he wants. Turns out he liked our concept work and we met again. He had budget constraints so we asked him to what we could eliminate to meet his number. He is adamant you do all the work at $YYYY. Now, we followed him up and he gave us two reasons for not being able to convince his team - 1. our high prices 2. we don't have sufficient experience in the IT field.

We had sent him our samples of UX and copy relating to IT which clearly stated our expertise. He came up with the experience point now not back then.

When we emailed him that we are assuming we are not going ahead and not to use our sample for commercial purposes, he replied please send me a revised quote because your price is high and a portfolio if you have any that showcases your expertise.

He said for now he is going to do work in-house. But, if we send revised prices and portfolio, he could look to hire us.

What are our options in terms of convincing the client because its a project we would really like to work on but we don't want to reduce our prices because we have full confidence in our capabilities and other clients are paying us similar rates and even higher than this.

How do we convince him to give us the project?

I hate it when people make this "who feels like paying for it," bullshit. Your money isn't what you think it is. Our current monetary systems (from coinage to fiat) all depend on creating debt and guilt (same word in German and Old English)and impose a moral obligation that keeps us serving a ruling class.

You're already paying for that person to be in prison, for the CIA to distribute weapons to people to start wars and for a massive war industry that then fights those people we give weapons to.

I always find it interesting to hear what people believe they deserve. In these comments you can hear the "I deserve to live in a house with my family of 4 in Palo Alto". Do you really deserve that?
