How do you know how they affect lookups without knowing how they work? Or are you being modest with your not-understanding of how it works and you really mean to say you don't know the full details of a specific implementation?
>...I'm forever distracted and even just the cubicle farm (not fully sealed offices) was a much better environment for me.

Yea for those whose work requires some concentration, the best environment might be where workers have offices with open areas available to them when they want to discuss issues with other team members. It is very sad that companies can't be flexible in this area and instead like to pretend that only upper management needs to concentrate, have a private conversation, etc.
The mistake is in the almost first sentence:

Eigenvalues aren't defined for rectangular matrices!
You know what I meant. I didn't imply poetry meant nothing. Of course not. But I see SAAS more and more describing their product in ways that are too marketing to me. I prefer to go straight to the point.

Regarding the gender, I don't know what to think about this. It's not by any mean a way to degrade women. I will definitely consider choosing another name because I understand how some people could be offended by that, which is not at all my intention, ever.

That is highly likely. But this article looks more like a tone piece in support of the current iteration of the Labour Party, written with an election in mind, not a serious piece of analysis. The surrounding articles put this impression in my mind.
Are you asking this from a DBMS internals or an application perspective? Are you posing it as a "one true answer" type question about a specific DBMS?

I'd expect any software engineer or CS grad to be able to make a reasonable guess at how a secondary index might work internally.

I'd expect any experienced software engineer who has worked with databases to be able to explain the application side aspects of "how an index works". e.g.: What access patterns a given index would help with and which it would not help with, what the downsides of having an index are, etc. Though even an inexperienced engineer should be able to derive answers to these questions once they've made a reasonable guess at the internals.

I think a lot of people are responding to this negatively due to viewing it as a trivia question whereas it can actually be a "reason through what has to happen to make something work" class of question.
I think it happens when they are not allowed to land. Mumbai is a pretty crowded airport tbh.

Regardless of analytics, baseball is a game of reactions. Pitchers who traditionally made pitches to induce popups will inevitably change to induce grounders (by pitch choice, location, and/or speed). The beauty of the sport is that the sample sizes can get large enough to make legitimate inferences from the data unlike many other sports.

For those specifically curious about baseball and statistics, both http://www.fangraphs.com/ and http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/ are great sites.
I get the reason for it and it makes sense to me - but the unintended consequences are causing problems. Oregon has a similar thing, the 'Urban Growth Boundary', but those expand over time so that cities can expand.
> Not only that, but iptables is just terrible to use and it just makes you want to kill yourself.

I can't agree more. Luckily though, if you have some setup scripts that you reuse, you don't have to think about iptables... Until the moment that you need to make this harmless quick change that shouldn't cause any problems and you end up locking yourself out of the server somehow.

Do you think the NSA wouldn't have checked access logs and the emails if not for the scan? The difference isn't between getting caught vs. not, it's between getting caught in days vs weeks.

Well, no one's stopping you from starting a competitor. Since you can do it with far fewer people, you should be profitable in no time. Good luck!
I don't see how this is anything more than a wiki with a really nice skin.

I refute your first point by drawing a comparison with Spanish attempts at Mercantilism. As Ricardo famously pointed out, accumulation of gold from the new world didn't help Spain in the long run. In the long run, the only thing that's important to a country's economic development is focusing on what you do well, and do that thing a lot. In economics terms, this means focusing on your comparative advantage.

Broadly speaking, America is really good at organizing businesses to achieve a goal. Her citizens speak English, the language of international trade, and her shorelines allow convenient trade with both Europe and Asia. Her currency is still the gold standard of international trade and people throughout the world travel to the US to study in it's world leading universities.

In this mindset, America's problem with manufacturing jobs is the other side of having a productive IP economy. Large demand for US technology supports a strong US dollar, making physical exports comparatively expensive.

The best example of this is the familiar phrasing on the back of every Apple product: 'Designed in California'.

Your second point deals with the consequences of this economic reality and really speaks towards the redistribution policies the US Government pursues. International trade is said to produce dispersed benefits, but concentrated loses. Importing lower priced manufactured goods benefits consumers with lower prices, but eliminates manufacturing jobs. The role of government is to reverse or dampen these consequences[0].

[0]: government intervention always has a cost. See the 'Leaky Bucket' analogy.

I believe there is a definite movement to partially replace remuneration with intangible "passion" in this industry, so yes the industry does need reminding of this.
Hmm, I hope they're not planning on using ROS for the final product... using a non-hard-realtime OS to fully control a car is a spectacularly bad idea.
I guess other companies should be wary of persons who leave Uber in the past few weeks or so.
In my experience last year, Digital Ocean blackholes you for 24 hours, during which they don't answer support tickets.

In other words, you can take down any Digital Ocean site for 24 hours after paying $1 to a booter unless they are behind CloudFlare or some other mitigation.
The USA didn't move their means of production to Asia, they moved their overflow.

Manufacturing jobs have gone away due to productivity increases, not due to factories leaving.

So if your claim is that manufacturing jobs produce wealth your argument might logically fit what happened, but if that were true we could just setup a factory to create something on one end of the floor and deconstruct it on the other...boom problem solved.
No, you can write in many other languages. For example there are many compilers out there that will compile <insert your favorite programming language> into LLVM bytecode.

And then you can translate such LLVM bytecode into Webassembly using a tool like Emscripten.

Thus you can compile <insert your favorite programming language> to Webassembly!
You forgot a link to your Research.

Nope. I don't need to be to have a conversation. Of course, you could argue the person I was speaking with shouldn't have shared the information with me, but that's their concern.

The emails we get are generally ones saying it was an issue affecting the physical hardware that the VM is hosted on, yeah. :( I tend to just ignore them now though, lol. There are only a few VMs there that are absolutely critical. Everything else is configured for HA.
Even those classes of people include people who don't deserve it, given the extent of crimes that fall under those labels. Consider a parent being charged with child abuse for letting their child play alone outside, much like parents of old. Or consider cases that fall right outside the limits of Romeo and Juliet clauses.
> resources and goods are so cheap that there's no point in selling them anymore

That's a good point. Adjacent, but related, I was thinking about starting a company to develop, make and sell educational tools to school. Think micro:bit-like boards, robot kits, water rocket kits, stuff to do experiments, along with the content for the teacher. I didn't do it for a lot of reasons, but one issue I constantly ran into was that market_size * price * profit_span was always just small. Not worth it.
The file is a "cron schedule" [1]. Paste the series of numbers (and the *) into the box on the site below and you'll see it means "midnight on July 19th every year". The commenter will probably have this in their personal "crontab" file. They're emailing themselves every year on that date.

Amazon and Google's custom NICs should be no more expensive than standard NICs. Microsoft's FPGA frankenNIC is definitely expensive though.

Still, recouping the cost of the NIC by making internal bandwidth free and Internet transfers really expensive is kind of a weird way to do it.

Dale Carnegie wrote about doing just this in How to Win Friends and Influence People. This is very common among successful people, and shows an astonishing level of caring imo.

I'm developing driver assistance functions for vehicles and I have experience using simulink, although not anymore, fortunately. It's usage is converging slowly but steadily to zero in the company I work for, although we still use it for controllers, but mostly only legacy "code". Why is it?

- First is the most serious, debugging: this is a deal breaker alone. Once your code will go into production, and once, bugs will be found in it. How do you debug it? A typical variable in simulink looks like this: `Simulink_Sum_Node_4521` (something similar, I don't remember exactly). Yes, that is a variable in the c code generated from simulink graphs. It's index start from 0, but you have quite a lot of it - just count the operations in your normal code, and don't forget that (a+b)/c already contains 2 operations! Not sure if the original programmer was lazy to name them all, but not sure if it is possible to meaningfully name them either. If you want to get (a+b)/c^5, (a+b) might not have a meaning on it's own. So you stuck debugging a 10k+ lines long file containing variables like this.

- Reading is natural: we read from early childhood, we write from early childhood. Did you draw computational graphs as a kid? In school maybe? Yeah, me neither. When I want to tell my colleague a formula, I'm not going to draw him/her a computational graph, I'm going to write it down. Hell, you are reading right now, and not looking at a graph consisting words and arrows that represent relations! Imagine how that would look like...

- Graphs take up much more space on the screen than text. Grab a pen and draw a computational graph of a Fourier transformation! It takes up a whole screen. As a formula, it takes up a tiny fraction of it. Our state machine used to take up about 2m x 2m on the wall behind us.

- Also the other reasons already written in this thread...

Working with simulink convinced me entirely that graphical programming has no future whatsoever.
I clean out my evap coils and condenser coils annually, and replace my filter twice a year (for efficiency, not for health). I'm well aware of the dust that my filter removes, which makes my indoor air cleaner than outdoor air. My allergen-sensitive wife proves experimentally that it has a strong positive effect for a couple weeks every spring and fall. And I'm aware of the crud that develops in the condensate tray. There's little crud in my central air system, but when I used a window AC in an apartment and the unit wasn't leveled properly it got pretty bad.

More generally, though, the presence of unattractive substances does not imply a health risk. My yard is, in the most basic sense, an enormous pile of dust, plus a few organics that grow and decay into dust. My home happens to be a few hundred meters from a lovely trout stream, and that stream and its floodplain contain more life from bacteria to algae to fish than any primordial sludge ever had. Neither are dangerous.
That's fair. I didn't mean to imply that no one took passion in their work prior to e.g. 1995, only that it wasn't a driving force. We didn't tell our children (or ourselves) to only pursue those careers for which we felt "passionate". First and foremost you had to feed yourself and your family. That was the goal.
> I read that the problem with Limit is that it is applied on the end. Meaning their original query will happily take all available results, sort them and then return the first 9. If normal values for freq are known, a simple WHERE freq > X could have helped.

Well you can't get around that considering that `freq` is the result of aggregation. Therefore you do have to "take all available results". Or you could keep a tally for all users and refresh it periodically.
Um, it's not scapegoating if these people are harassing other employees. Scapegoating is when you hire underlings for projects that senior management was driving. No one forces you to harass another employee.
Chemical and pharmaceutical industry and Mechanical and electrical engineering industries are Switzerland’s largest industrial employer and account for about 70 percent of the country’s exports. They produce their stuff in factories.
I can't help but feel a Zen-like sense of balance and bliss over this. An NSA contractor violated her employment agreement and the law in providing Top Secret info to The Intercept, who then published it.

The Intercept got a story published and is enjoying great attention (and ad revenue), and the guilty party was caught. Everyone can be happy.

It is not C in the browser. It is a sort-of-virtual machine in the browsers.

Browsers (i.e. Chrome) are already doing this to execute Javascript, for example. Webassembly, to put it in a simplified way, allows you to "bypass" the javascript layer and target directly the virtual-machine. And done in a compatible, well-documented way.

So you can gain in performance, and flexiblity.

Nothing in the article suggests there has been a decline in manufacturing output in Britain but a decline in jobs.

I don't know the situation there enough to know what is happening, but in the USA for instance the decline of jobs in manufacturing wasn't accompanied with a decline in output, quite the opposite.
You never list references from your last job.

You don't want your future company to call your current company to give them a heads up that you are leaving.

For this very same reason, companies never ask for reference from your current job.
Headline is an outright clickbait lie contradicted by the lead sentence; it doesn't cost more than the all-in annual cost of Harvard, but more than tuition.

Not that the comparison is particularly meaningful in any case, since it's not like sending convicts to Harvard instead is an available alternative.
There's little risk of disease (Specifically, Legionnaires') from residential air-cooled A/C systems. The risk is typically from industrial air conditioning systems which use a water-based heat exchanger between a radiator system on the roof and the condenser. The water in this system is kept warm. The water in the condensate tray of a typical AC is cold and continually drained, so the disease doesn't propagate well.
Buffer overflows are sometimes useful.

Don't burn the trees down, just because you don't want anyone else to have wood. Some of us will craft furniture, not smog.
reference checks are useless. if you list HR they can only confirm employment. If you list your friends they going to say good things. if you list anyone else you are doing it wrong

As a manager, if you have a clueless 20-year old making an inappropriate proposition to one of your reports, and you hear about it, you are legally obligated to deal with the situation. It could mean reprimands, demotions, pay cuts, and re-assignment. It could mean termination.

Harassment happens in every single company.

The difference between companies is whether or not management takes the problem seriously.

I assure you, batch-firing 20 people for sexual harassment out of 6,700 is not normal. It means that there has been a consistent pattern of management not dealing with harassment - which was exposed upon review.
Definitely. My bad. The kind of stuff you don't think about when you are your only user. I'll add that, as well as the possibility to not indicate gender at all.
In a culture where sexual harassment is taken seriously, the firings happen one-at-a-time as things get reported. It doesn't fester until the media spotlight shines on the company's cultural problems, then result in an investigation as to why things got so bad.

>Most credit card companies _don't_ want you to do that because charging more to pay with a credit card makes using your credit card a less enticing idea.

This is obviously good for the card companies and to a degree the digital payments landscape as a whole.

I do however see how it can be a problem for small merchants who can't negotiate for better rates with MAPs due to lack of volume. A 2 - 3% fee is quite significant seeing as though many retailers will have a 7-12% net margin. For a merchant not to be able to push the cost to a customer even if it is just part of it would be difficult for a business to sustain. There are other costs that merchants are dealing with such as cost of packaging and as such, a 2-3% fee is no mean feat.
I just want to say, for every person in disgust of Uber and their sexual harassment scenario, there are many more of us that just don't care.

Of course, most that don't care don't comment. So the comment section is not a good view of public opinion. Just the vocal minority.
I've used the ESP8266 for a few things, and honestly its just such a lovely little device with great support, I don't know why it doesn't just get used everywhere.

Interesting article. I'm not much of an OS guy, anyone can shed more light into the subject? Why the object oriented operating systems was integral to the OS's ability to withstand intrusion?
That article was far more sensible and pertinent than I was expecting. Especially relevant, given the fact that a couple weeks ago one of my coworkers was wearing a jacket while I was sweating though my clothes.

Our handbook is pretty terrible to both sexes though. There's two full pages on how women should do their makeup. It can basically be summed up as "You need to wear makeup, but don't look like a whore." So, at least I don't have to deal with that.

Honestly, I wouldn't complain if it didn't affect my work, but when it gets this hot I get dizzy unless I drink water like it is going out of style, which means I have to get up to fill my water and relieve myself. And even then I can barely concentrate.

I still blame the dress code more than anything. I'm comfortable to above 90 degrees or so if I'm wearing shorts and a lightweight tee. Slacks, leather shoes and a long sleeve shirt are not suitable much above 75 as far as I'm concerned.
The first thing I looked for was data export and import. I have an export from google contacts I'd like to import to get started quickly. I would also like to know that I can get my data out to use in other applications (a table for the activity logs joined on the relationship's ID, a table for the relationships, etc.).

The "Edit" link under "Personal Information" should also be Blue, like the "Add" links under the other sections. It took me about 40 seconds to figure that out because of the confusion.

Editing reminders would be useful. More flexible reminder timing (things like "end of the month", which could be more or less than 30 days apart, are very useful).

You should be able to select an existing Person entry for the Significant Other field. Also, if you add somebody through the Significant Other field, they should show up as a person.

You should also be able to delete a Person.
EH has has a long working relationship with uber. The main work he has done previously was to help either craft policy and work in the courts to defend the ability for marginalized communities to work as ridesharing drivers, think people like non violent felons who are released from prison. A while ago a lot of state were passing "think of the children" type legislation that was having a negative impact on some of the communities that holder has spent his career trying to defend. For felons released from prison, ridesharing on uber/lyft is one of the first ways they can support themselves economically.
It seems that a lot of developers simply don't know very simple basics that could be learned in a couple weeks of reading an intro algorithms book. Even without having studied databases, it should be within reason to think up that a database is a collection of records, and you need to find those records fast. Just like if you needed to find an object in an in-memory array quickly.

Maybe it's being asked in a weird way? Or they have an expectation that you want them to describe exact DB internals? Any decent candidate should be able to have a conversation about this.
How did that work? Wasn't your latest house even more expensive due to its proximity to Boulder?
You spoke about how to monetize Monica. Based on the number of comments requesting a mobile app, perhaps that's the launch point. I would use Monica's browser interface for bulk data entry, but I would use Monica on a mobile for push reminders since that's how I get my reminders/appointments now via Google Calendar. So, keep the browser interface free, but charge for the mobile app.
