Grakn developer here. That's interesting, do you have any particular graph database in mind?

Grakn runs fine on a single machine. One of the core architectural points is that the engine should not be too tightly bound to the storage layer. Currently we rely on Cassandra for storage but we are experimenting with other solutions.

The answer to your last question depends on what query you are performing. If the domain you are modelling is represented naturally as a graph, then you can expect much better performance than PostgreSQL (we'll publish some benchmark results soon).
> Caloric restriction is bs. Carb restriction is key. You can literally eat until your stomach hurts all day long and lose weight.

While I agree that for many people, restricting carbs is a far easier method of eating healthy while still feeling fully sated, stating that you can "literally eat until your stomach hurts" is false, misleading, and potentially destructive.

5000 calories of cream cheese or other caloric dense foods is, still, at the end of the day, 5000 calories. Caloric restriction isn't the only way to diet or eat healthy, but ignoring overall caloric intake (even rough estimates) while only focusing on "what" you eat is one of the biggest pitfalls I see.

No, it's a misnomer in my opinion. And that hides a rather nasty twist in human relations:

In order to shun someone from a social group due to their non-conforming behaviour, the group cannot simply accept that they are willingly excluding this person. Because that would violate the basic premise upon which the group is built: comradery and loyalty. So the group must rationalize their behaviour by sticking all the blame on the individual being excluded.

You can go medieval and call someone a witch, or just be a bit more moderate and blame them for something vague like having "low self-esteem".

Good feedback, thanks.
I'd second the Head First Design Patterns. The style of writing is light and fun. There are definitely concepts about abstraction, etc. that may take a while to grok and the different approaches help.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant a right-winger that you know in real life, or can find on the street if that is the empty set, not some politician.

"And part of the way the right wing justifies its atrocities is to claim that "both sides do it", "both sides are the same" or some similar flat out bullshit."

Both sides may not be the same, but both sides do do it... because in a lot of ways, they aren't "both" sides but the same side wearing different masks, at that level. That is, again, that high rarified Federal level, not the people on the streets. You're not "seeing through" their game... you are right where they want you to be. You're even strongly suggesting that you're fine if your side does it as long as you get to yell at the other side and dismiss their claims about what "your side" does. Unsurprisingly, "your side" is suited just fine by your willingness to do this, and they take you up on your offer quite often.

Persecuting someone for choosing a political candidate or supporting a political group is the exact opposite of a democracy - no matter how "abominable" that group might seem.

What you call "persecution" I call a difference of opinion. No one is saying this guy should be locked up for his views, and he clearly has the means and opportunity to continue pursuing his political and career goals.

He aligned himself with groups his employer found unsavory (shitlords, trolls, meme magicians, etc.) and lost his job. that's not persecution, that's playing with fire and getting burned.

I think one of the detrimental effects of the positivity movement is, it implies it's wrong and unnecessary to feel bad. Of course, if you feel bad for days on end, there's an ongoing clinical or situational issue. If certain external triggers consistently cause you to feel bad, you can dig deep to find the reason and start to address it.

But to feel bad as a short-lived (hours to a few days) reaction to an event at least partially within your control? Like getting a bad mark? Or screwing up a work project? It's completely normal and similar to the physical pain felt when you touch a burning stove. It's a stimulus "Oh this sucks! I don't want to feel like this again so I'm going to make X, Y or Z change to avoid it."
Hmm... sounds like OS X would be the perfect fit for you. All the Adobe stuff, and Outlook/Office for Mac is pretty decent (although it uses Spotlight for its INTERNAL search, which means I have to use my org's webmail for search because I hate disk indexers that run in the background). Also you get a proper terminal (the built-in is fine but iTerm is a bit better imho) and a native Unix filesystem.

Exactly. And be subject to the problems with bank runs because of the inelastic nature of gold.
Popularity means more eyes have looked at it, more issues have been made, more contributors exist. Of course, I've had issues with dependencies that were popular but generally it holds that a library that's been around for a while and still finding usage means that it does a good job at it.

The difference between code and a burger is that anyone can consume a burger but code is consumed almost exclusively by professionals. A better comparison would be power tools where you'll often find that if a brand is popular, it tends to make solid, long lasting products.

For those who understand networking: the Mirage TCP/IP networking
stack [1] in pure OCaml is a must. It's an object of extreme beauty, and
possibly the most eloquent argument for types, types inference and
algebraic data types I can think of. The TCP state machine is mostly specified at type level [2], preventing numerous potential bugs in one fell swoop.

Reading this code is probably most enlightening if you have already written networking protocols.

NB: this has nothing to do with OCaml, other comparable languages with ADTs (Scala, Rust, Haskell, F#) would be similarly suitable.

The key is to leveraging a degree is to major in a profession where labour supply is artificially constrained through the possession of that degree. There is good reason that 49% of the top 1% in the US have post-graduate degrees, while the high school or less group actually outnumber those with bachelor degrees only. It is not because of the education, but because the post-graduate degree bought them quota into a supply management system, so to speak.

The trouble is that these outliers, who are able to realize artificially high incomes due to the artificial labour supply constraints, make it appear that everyone with a degree can do better than without when observed on average. But closer inspection of the data does not continue to back it up. Despite substantial increases in college attainment over the last several decades, incomes have remained stagnant.
They could potentially come out ahead, if the small loss on the financial asset is less than the margin on the MSRP of a sold vehicle, vs nilch on an unsold one.

How can you be sure that it was being low on carbs, as opposed to consuming less calories overall, that was the cause of your sustained weight loss?
Maybe you didn't do it on purpose, but yours is a "Straw man argument": "A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while refuting an argument that was not advanced by that opponent. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man"."

The original comment never claimed that "the right-wing republican community is the only group spreading distortions/falsehoods". As far as I understand, it claims that it is the right-wing that has embraced it to a wider extent. And that is something that we have seen in late elections and referendums.

But I think it could be more useful.

The point was more about popularity having no correlation with anything else. There is tons of unpopular code that is really, really good, these are hidden gems. Likewise, there is popular code that is quite bad or mediocre regardless of number of contributors.

From its preface: "This book has only one major purpose - to trigger the beginning of a new field of study: computer programming as a human activity, or, in short, the psychology of computer programming."

Not OP, but I had a similar experience. Low end development machines suck because they put the developer in a worse position than the end-user, not an equal one. Modern dev tools, plus common side-utilities like slack/spotify/skype, and accessories like Insomnia, tend to use a lot of memory and cpu. It makes the development experience terrible, and that affects your output. Developing and designing is going to be ~90% of your time spent on a dev box, actually running the dang thing won't take long at all.

A better solution would be for testing, particularly UAT, to be done inside resource-constrained VM's, instead.

I think that's just the difference between ER docs - who are, by their nature, generalists - and specialists.

The main problem is that a specialist isn't being consulted during the ER visit for cases that are outside the scope of the ER docs' knowledge. I think if the ER docs are at the point of saying "yes, we can 'kind' of fix it but not back the way it was" that should trigger an automatic specialist referral.
Yeah, the article confuses some basic details. The "shitposting group" that Palmer Luckey gave money to is called Nimble America. Palmer Luckey reportedly gave $10,000 to that group, not $100,000. Due to the inflammatory nature of the group, there was a controversy last September on exactly how much Palmer was directly involved. This is all easily Google-searchable.

It's all ultimately debatable of course, but for a lot of crypto enthusiasts, fixed money supply IS a feature, and a great one.

Two main points I see lacking in your analysis:

1. The deflationary spiral is presented as some "fact". There is no evidence that this is what happens if there is a fixed supply. It's absolutely logical that people WILL spend less if they know the money will be worth more next year. But how much less? Is that a bad thing? In many ways, all the recent economical troubles have been caused by exactly people spending too much, spending the money they don't have. Maybe deflationary supply is exactly what is needed for people to buy what they need, not go on buy-all-sprees just because they know their money won't be worth anything soon (as it is now in the inflationary model).

2. World history regarding the price of gold. As an example from Creature From Jekyll Island (a book), in ancient Rome, to buy a custom tailor-made suit and a pair of custom-made shoes cost 1 ounce of gold. This is approximately the same order of magnitute of what it costs today, by today's gold prices.

All while Gold is, by many standards, is deflationary as well. (Well you might say that new gold bricks are mined, but it's very limited. In the same way new bitcoins are also still mined and will be so for hundreds of years.) So what happened? If fixed supply is such a bad thing, why don't people just hoard gold and the price is through the roof?

On the contrary, the history shows many examples where after societies went from the gold standard to the more "fluid" money supply, when governments started to mix other metals in the coins, when they removed gold at all - that's when the economic troubles started. Human-controlled money supply has proven itself time and time again non-functional. The people in positions of this power cannot avoid abusing this power.

There are a lot of things that point to the notion that it is in fact the "deflationary spiral scare" that is a joke, and a fixed supply is what is needed in the long run to make money work most effectively.

In the second last paragraph the author agrees what you argue in your comment is possible:

> Finally, it’s conceivable that the ostensibly tranquil and low-turbulence economy is masking something more disruptive underneath the surface. Ryan Avent, the author of The Wealth of Humans, has thought about this question deeply and offered a plausible explanation. In his telling, automation has created an abundance of labor, including machine labor and human labor. Just as rising supply typically leads to falling prices, the oversupply of labor has put a downward pressure on wages. Companies, seeing that they have access to cheap labor in a slowly growing economy, invest less in new risky technology, which leads to less productivity growth. High employment, low productivity, low wage growth, and automation can all live together in the same story.
