Does it provide search?

It's a strange thing, but almost all new database technologies seem to leave search as an afterthought for some later day instead of starting on day one with the assumption that "it's all about search".

A database system that doesn't support rich search capabilities is restricted to very limited types of applications.

Often search is left unimplemented for years, or perhaps never implemented.

I don't think your simple plan will ever come up with something that covers all the requirements in finite time.

How long do you think it takes "3-5 teams" to prototype something covering even a miniscule amount of the above?

This is not surprising though, SV always thinks it has some idea how to solve government scale problems, but most "problem solving" in SV is done by eliminating the customers you don't want to care about.

Highly unlikely. You do not cause this level of pricing swings in an A/B test. Additionally, A/B testing this much of a price swing heavily discounts the value of the tool.

It does support search through SQL like queries. You can use existing functions or implement new ones in Javascript. If you want free text search, you would be disappointed, but otherwise it is pretty decent.
>You think estimating the value of every home in the country within 10% is bad?

It may be good from an "interesting problem" standpoint. But if your house's Zestimate at $300K, 10% means it's real value is somewhere between $273K and $334K.

Not very helpful, is it?

None, because you can't, the same reason you don't see many iOS developers using windows. I don't know if there are many people that want to work that way or if it's worth supporting, but your current argument is circular reasoning at it's finest.
Also, don't discount the rising level of violent conflicts that will ensue for shrinking resources.

I have an oil furnace with forced hot water. Basically, just need to drive the blower, maybe a pump, and some electronics. Not sure what the electrical draw of my furnace is but it's not a huge amount.

So half marks on search for Azure Cosmos DB.

If free text search is such a hard problem then you'd think that would be even more reason to start with solving that toughest of all problems. If it's a really hard problem then it will be even harder to retrofit later into some system that is already architected and built.

A light spanking for the architect. No search would have been a thorough spanking.

If it were factually not a good idea to believe facts, then why shouldn't you simply disbelieve that fact? Your argument here is blatantly self-contradictory and demonstrably useless.

Facts should be believed because they are - by by definition and in practice - necessary to avoiding failure. Those things that cause failure are factual components of reality. If you don't believe in them, how can you hope to avoid them? Those things that lead to success are factual components of reality. If you don't believe in them, how can you hope to understand them? Etc., ad infinitum for all things.
As a Torontonian transplant living in NYC: the rent is higher, but the same or smaller % of a much larger figure can still get you ahead by _quite_ a bit.

I would assume (hopefully) that the following is true: my guess is that Tesla is currently executing a similar plan to produce solar products in the same format they produced the cars - expensive, high end up front. Roll your moderate price, high end products with the income, rinse and repeat.

I think if this is the case, they certainly don't want to hint at it incase they lose consumers who will sit back and wait for the cheaper option they ironically wouldn't arrive.
Jepsen test results basically show that latency caused by replica distance won't screw your data. On the other hand, clock drift can stop your system, or even potentially corrupt your data, depending on how fast such incident can be detected/handled and what is your workload/what you are doing.

Vim has actually long had Scheme integration (in the form of plt-scheme and then racket). So you could actually script vim in Scheme. The problem is that virtually no one ever does.

Last I checked, almost all vim scripts were written in vimscript (with Python starting to make some headway). If any non-vimscript language is going to be the future of vim scripting, it's probably going to be python rather than Lisp or Scheme. So if you were going to start writing Scheme scripts in vim, you'd be pretty much the only one.

Compare that to emacs, where virtually the entire gigantic emacs ecosystem is written in Elisp. It's an Elisp ecosystem and community you'd be participating in were you to write in Elisp for emacs. Leveraging that enormous codebase and community is a huge win for emacs that you're not going to get in vim unless you program in vimscript or maybe to some extent in python.

So if you're interested in vimscript or maybe python, vim seems like a good choice, while those interested in Elisp or maybe Scheme would probably be much better off in emacs.

As for Lua, how many vim scripts are written in Lua? I would guess it's about as popular as Scheme is for vim, which is to say virtually not at all. In any case, it's not a Lisp, so I'm not sure how much interest there would be from the Lisp/Scheme communities in programming in it vs something like python, which seems to have more traction in the vim world. It would be a step up from vimscript, though, that's for sure. But, again, there is no Lua ecosystem for vim, so being the only one writing Lua scripts for vim is not hugely attractive for most people.

Just my two cents.

I think you misread the parent comment. They didn't say "committed my work credentials", it was "committed with my work credentials". As in they have two different identities and used the wrong one when committing a change, so the commit author was incorrect.

> why should you "believe" in facts to begin with?

I'm not really sure what you're asking here, especially since you put believe in quotes.

Facts are - by definition - things that are true, indisputable, regardless of whether you believe them or not. As such, a refusal to believe facts makes one wrong - at least about that particular thing.

If a person insists on being wrong about a particular thing, in the face of facts proving such wrongness, it is probable that that person is:

- wrong about other things
- unable or unwilling to reason correctly (at least in certain circumstances)

Also, if you look at the right side of figure 1 there are lines on the bottom of the complexity chart for each of the tasks, presumably representing people who essentially did not do the task (although they still seem to have spent a variable amount of time not doing the task). It looks like this skews older, and just by eyeballing the chart some of the 75+ would be upward trends if not for that bottom line. I skimmed the article and did not see a discussion of this.

Google just also announced a patent extortion scheme, as it so happens! And note that the common defense for Google not being a problem in the US is that they it only matters if they harm consumers, not businesses. Patent licensing harms the Google OEM business, but does not harm consumers. And taxing an abusive monopoly like Google's could arguably seen as a boon for the consumer's interests.
And you're probably right. But the thing is that some jobs weren't meaningless, for example, before automated agriculture people had to actually grow their own food. Assembly lines needed people to do the jobs that machines couldn't. But today we increasingly moved to meaningless jobs and there is little room to automate them. Kinda like Amdahl's law.
I've worn a hearing aid since I was 4. I'm now 37, and while I've become much more open about my hearing issues, I still struggle with the issue of my hearing aid's visibility. Sure, I now have short hair (forced on me by baldness, really), sure I've opted to select a gray color instead a flesh color (thankfully, the gray is NOT (yet) to blend with the remaining hair I still have), sure, I'm much more vocal about making people aware of my "good side" and my "bad side" when walking and sitting.

But I'm still strongly resistant to the idea of adding a hearing aid to my other ear (in which I'm deaf, but the additional hearing aid would link with my current hearing aid, providing "stereo" audio of sorts). I know doing so would be a significant improvement in life -- I would be doubling my hearing capabilities, in ways. But right now I have alternate "good side" and "bad side" modes; the mode for hearing better (you need to be on my left) and the mode for hiding my disability (you should be on my right, unable to see my hearing aid). If you're an attractive female, my instinct is to have you on my right. Of course, if you're an attractive female who sits down at the bar on my right side, I will ignore you, because conversation is futile. I have to forcefully override this instinct.

In an ideal world, given current technology, there would be in-the-ear hearing aids that could wirelessly sync to my current behind-the-ear hearing aid, but that doesn't seem to exist. So I keep plodding along, basically waiting for the day when technology will FIX my hearing instead of aiding it. I expect I will be in my 60s by then.

As the Cosmos DB SLA doc describes, for any of the 5 consistency models the service supports, the service guarantees all the other three guarantees (latency at the 99th percentile, availability and throughput) at 99.99%. One of the benefits of well-defined consistency models is that for a given model, developers can clearly make the tradeoffs between (1) latency vs. consistency, (2) availability vs. consistency and (3) throughput vs. consistency. The service documentation covers some of these tradeoffs.

I think you have not suffered Azure then. You will cry in relief when you are allowed to go back to AWS UI.

The information architecture is fairly broken. And the UI that slides is even worse - the only reason a UI like that exists because it's highly stateful: you need to remember what you did in the previous screen. And with the whole information architecture, it's crazy hard.

If Azure builds a Google cloud like UI and calls it azure-lite, I would throw all my money at them.
