My local Safeway has no self checkout line. They don't hire more cashiers to offset this fact, they just make me stand in line longer. It's miserable. I'd love for them to have all 6 lanes open but no more than 2 ever are. Even at peak shopping times.

Self checkout would be an awesome boon.

A while ago, in a fit of defmacro-envy, I wrote a preprocessor that would let you wrap Python snippets in #python/#endpython blocks: http://codepad.org/5B388Wsh. This lets you write silly things like http://codepad.org/eS443WPA. I bet the same idea isn't too hard to implement in Ruby, but I don't know enough to try it myself.

I never really used it much - generating C code with Python print statements turned out to look uglier than I thought it would, and most of my use cases were better handled with X macros (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Macro) or by generating a separate file and #include'ing it. But your description reminded me of it; you might like the idea.
I think it's even cooler how matrix multiplication dominates both the universe at large, and the systems that understand it (neural networks).

"Or you can not base your business on the fickleness of Google's search algorithms."

Or you can not base your business on the fickleness of your phone company's /ISP algorithms. Google is a much as 90% of referrals for many websites.

Answer this: Are you sure that Google updates their search algorithm independent of revenue impact? I remember reading from FTC's investigation that Google kept changing their "independent" SE rater's criteria until it eventually met Google's own goals. You think Singhal didn't know what changes hurt Google's revenue (ad clicks plus sites forced to advertise)?

I think that reflects where they see their predominant opportunity. How much "Blue Ocean" is there left for desktop operating systems and applications? Or what use to inhabit the Enterprise data center (Server OSs, Groupware, etc)? You could coast on that more traditional business for some time, but if you're going for real growth opportunities, seems like they've got a pretty good idea where the lies.

I would add that if an Azure strategy works out for them, the "device" wars (be it Win vs. iOS vs. Android or Desktop vs. Mobile) really won't matter if they manage to be at the center of it all.

My family's current spelling of my last name comes up with about 300 people. The original spelling comes up with about 450. It's ethnic and uses a sound that isn't really in English. Due to that, my family made it worse over time by shifting to a pronunciation that doesn't match anyone's reading of the name.

It's always misspelled, misheard, and mispronounced, but I've never minded. It's more a source of amusement than annoyance or inconvenience. I can't imagine ever changing it.

You need to understand the economic incentives in operation.

Advertisers and Google have a risk avoidance incentive. It doesn't matter if they pass up good ad friendly content. They definitely don't want to take a chance to put their brand in front of ad unfriendly content.

Now unlike television where ad inventory is limited, on the internet, it's a buyers market. Even if the advertiser passes on something potentially good, he can always find some other content to place on. Indeed what he is buying is actually access to the people watching content, not the content and since the same people on YouTube will probably watch other videos as well, why not de-risk by automatically screening out everything potentially controversial?
Depends where you are. In the UK it's a huge problem, Norway, Poland, Switzerland not so much.
"Its not concurrency". I would argue that. Its not parallelism (at least not in the current state, but the RTFM-core language that originated this work offers true parallelism, implemented onto of Windows Threads, and Pthreads (Linux/OSX). On multicores, deadlock freeness is not guaranteed, but the rtfd-compiler detects potential deadlocks at compile time for the implementer to fix (so no spurious deadlocks from a system passing compilation). As the multicore implementation is being based on threads, response time analysis for such systems are basically out the window... (Also such multicore systems are very hard to predict, due to cashes, etc...) /Per

Nice quote and fair candor. But maybe we similarly trivialized technology in the past and have suffered negative side-effects that could have been avoided with forethought?

I'm not sure it's necessarily regulation but rather education that comes alongside any technology.

It's hard to measure quality of life, particularly when keeping in mind the famous saying "the best things in life are free". But I'd argue that many technological advances have not necessarily improved quality of life.

As I wrote a few months ago [1], I believe that the only way for "public cloud" companies to keep growing is to enter the "private" IT market with a "cloud in a box" appliance. Azure is well positioned to do this properly; AWS is of course still holding a leadership position.

The number I've always heard is 4% after inflation, but that assumes no capital gains tax. Here is an article [0] that claims 1.9% per year over 30 years after accounting for taxes and inflation. Plugging $0 starting capital, $12,000 addition per year, and 1.9% compounded annually into the compound interest formula yields $480,000 after 30 years. Then keep in mind that owning a home obligates you to pay for property tax, maintenance, and insurance. Of course, there are still some cities where buying is a sensible option [1].

As a preface, let me say that SQL Server is great so far. It's rock-solid, and the query planner is wonderful. T-SQL itself is my only real gripe. That said, here are a few things that annoy me:

The major bummer during development was, for me, the lack of a command to drop a schema and all the things in it. I've found the ability to `DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS foo` to be invaluable when iterating on DB designs. In T-SQL, the alternative is to maintain a "drop-all.sql" file, which is tedious and error-prone when making use of foreign-key relationships. (more generally, postgres' DDL seems more ergonomic)

I miss the simplicity of postgres' upsert capabilities. T-SQL has MERGE, which is vastly more complicated and verbose. I get that it is quite powerful and flexible, but I've never personally needed more than upsert semantics, and the design of MERGE means that I pay (in esoteric syntax) for features that I don't use.

Table-valued params are an adequate substitute in T-SQL for postgtresql array parameters, but driver support outside of .NET is middling at best, so our Java code gets a little dodgy when using them.

Despite the more recent introduction of JSON support in SQL Server, there is no true equal to `json` or `jsonb` types.

There's simply no substitute in Azure SQL for the variety of procedural languages available in postgresql; T-SQL, as a procedural language, is just not very easy to work with. I'd much prefer python, perl, or even plpgsql itself.

Finally, I miss the ability to add comments on tables, columns, procs, etc, directly in SQL.

Those are the things that immediately impact me; others may not be bothered at all.
It's doable but quite hackish if you use a loopback FDW or dblink. Kind of a kludge to get autonomous transactions.

The compiler switch /kernel was introduced with Visual Studio 2012 (Windows 8).

C code is considered legacy by Microsoft with C++ being the official systems programming language, hence why they dropped support for newer C versions, except for what is required by ANSI C++ standard.

https://herbsutter.com/2012/05/03/reader-qa-what-about-vc-an...

Our focus in Visual C++ is on making a world-class C++ compiler

Our primary goal is to support "most of C99/C11 that is a subset of ISO C++98/C++11."

We do not plan to support ISO C features that are not part of either C90 or ISO C++.

Also the future of Windows lies on UWP, and C is certainly not a way of writing UWP APIs, unless one enjoys low level COM Windows 95 style.

Finally, the remaining C code is slowly being migrated to C++

I just started trying out pgsql with entityframework core the other day via http://www.npgsql.org/.

Super easy to set up and get working with. I've never used EF6 , so I can't really comment there, but I've seen mention that entity framework core is missing features relative to ef6, so that's something to think about.

Dealing with not-builtin types like jsonp/hstore is a bit tricky in EF so far it feels like, but doable? Doesn't seem like you can get a real first class experience with that yet though.
This is more my personal opinion, and perhaps more revealing my ignorance on the existing equivalent tools in the Rust ecosystem, but here is a list of some of the Go tools we use when developing CockroachDB:

1. gofmt and goimports really helps enforce a single uniform style. We don't really care what the style is, as long as it's consistent across our 30 engineers and 200k lines of code. We have hand-rolled more Cockroach-specific linters on top of this as well, but we could do that for Rust too.

2. go tool pprof is a great profiler. Being able to quickly dig into allocations, cpu usage, etc. is great, and we do so regularly. As a result, the overhead of the GC is minimized, since we can rapidly identify and mitigate the allocation overhead with the application of a few known patterns.

Now I don't know what the state of the art of rust profiling is, but if we were to litigate Rust vs Go starting CockroachDB from scratch today, we'd probably pay close attention to what the answer is here. The Xooglers on this team have a tonne of C++ experience, and were very happy with C++ profiling tools, and thought the Go profiler matched up to the best tools they had used previously. If there is a Rust equivalent, this isn't a problem.

3. Consistency of code (in both style, but also patterns used) across third party libraries is a concern. The existence of a single toolchain that enforces a single style in Go really helps keep the whole ecosystem healthy here. Even if tools exist for Rust, if they aren't universally used, that is not as powerful.

I honestly think that Rust would probably be a close contender if we litigated this question today. The TiDB folks use Rust for their KV side, but Go for their query engine, which is an interesting mix. If faced with this decision today, I personally would push for Rust; I'm not a fan of the Go type system's various limitations, which we are running into particularly as we write a more sophisticated query optimizer that has to do more classical programming languages reasoning. But I am one of the most junior engineers on the CockroachDB team, so I'm not sure I would prevail in this fight! :)
I write JVM-based server code, so I can't really comment on the experience of using postgresql on .NET. I think that I tried it a few years back, and had an OK time of it, but I wasn't using EF. Sorry!
I had always wondered if someone had ever built a ternary computer. Would it even be practical to build one today? Given that binary computers rule the computing world these days, I'm not sure there would really be much use for it.

Since there's a PM here from Microsoft, I've got a couple questions regarding the requirement to "sign in with your Microsoft account":

With all your branding changes over the years, what's considered a Microsoft account today? My old Hotmail account, that existed from the days before Microsoft bought Hotmail? I think it's still alive, but I haven't logged in in the better part of a decade to find out. The accounts created over the years for various Xbox machines? I think those are still around, but I doubt I could get into them at this point. The "Live" account I had to create for MSDN many years ago? Once that job and associated need for MSDN ended I've not logged in to see if it's still around.

Which one(s) should I try to find login information for to use?

Furthermore, why must I sign in in the first place for the free version? I can understand signing in to associate the install with a paid version with extra features, but I see no reason to require it for free versions without any paid features.

Mathematical finance as a field has gone down a deep, dark, weird rabbit hole. The point of papers in the field is rarely to make a statement about how to invest, or how markets work.
