Any individual connection is simple. Website to Mixpanel? Easy. Mobile app to Facebook App Events? Also simple. Both website and mobile app to warehouse? Bigger investment but still doable. Data out of Stripe and Zendesk into the warehouse? Also reasonable straight forward to build, more annoying to maintain, very annoying to scale.

The issue is that companies need all of this together. And they need it now. Many enterprises have 100+ business units each using 50+ tools and all of that needs to be connected together.

So the issue isn't that building a single connection is hard. It's that managing N interconnected things is N^2 hard, and N^2 gets big very very fast. Wrangling that mess is just way too complicated for an open source project... even though analytics.js is open source, the vast, vast majority of a.js users only use it through Segment.

Reducing the cost of a custom system isn't irrational.

My own personal budget is very limited, buying two IronWolf HDDs in this case is easily a good chunk of my monthly income. If I can build a NAS that can expand with single drives as needed, it's more cost effective for me.

And I imagine a lot of others have the same problem.

In the end, by buying 2 drives when a single drive could have solved the problem equally well: expanding your space by 4TB, is wasting money. Period.
You are just fear mongering. USA's debt to GDP ratio is not a problem for our economy or anything else and won't be for a very long time. The US economy is growing fast enough that the debt-to-GDP has no effect on our stability as we could pay it off if we wanted to and do indeed have plans for this sort of thing. Also most of our debt is actually owned by US citizens which also helps make this a non issue. There's a reason nobody credible thinks the sky is falling. It's not.

I agree, I didn't find the statement refreshing at all, I found it insulting. You damn well know the use-cases for generics. If you still don't like it; fine, say that explicitly. Don't pussyfoot around it and play the "we just don't know that much about it yet" lie.

You're limited then to only mirroring, you can't do RAID6 or similar on a massive array where you're only giving up 2/10 drives space but can have a 2 disk failure. Seems like a lot of wasted disks when the only thing I'm dependent on the NAS for is not losing my TV collection. Right now I know if that if I go out and buy 2 more 4 TB disk I get 8 TB more in my NAS and at the price of an only slightly increased risk of having more than 2 drives fail at once. That's probably my favorite feature of RAID6 for a home NAS.

I actually went custom because those off-the-shelf boxes are either very expensive or have weak CPUs so can't be used for video transcoding very well - it's cheaper to build it yourself, much cheaper if you already have old hardware to dedicate to the task.

Sure, there is an element of that. Though the fourth largest city in the U.S. is probably not best described as second-tier.

Usually vanity does not go hand in hand with anonimity, and - casually - anonimity rarely goes hand in hand with authoritativeness when we are talking of posting on the internet.

The assurance (given by the rather high entry ticket) is only that the Author of each post is so rich that it can afford to pay a pretty hefty sum (and is willing to do that).

From the little experience I have with the ones belonging to the 1% I would say that most of them are in the 1% (and remain there) exactly because they are very attentive to where and how they spend their money, but of course I may well be proved wrong.

But if all goes well, a lot of people may be interested about what the people with the big money think and write, hoping to catch something of use to become as rich as the poster.

On the other hand, with anonimity and without access to the bank account of the site (or other proof that actually the US$ 980/post were actually paid) the owner of the site could well post any kind of anonymous crap pretending that it came from high paying customers....

There is a thread on overclock.net which collects the AM4 motherboards with ECC support [1].

Maybe Musk and Bezos can live in a biosphere bubble on the asteroid belt maintained by an army of their (wholly-owned) mining robots. But Mars is a bad joke. It's deep in a gravity well and is a gigantic, cold Sahara dessert without breathable air.

If physicists and engineers can come up with a massless drive and potent, safe energy to drive it (e.g. EmDrive powered by fusion) we cold probably send missions back and forth to nearby stars - a worthy goal. But even then it will be expensive and time-dilation will ensure that whatever glory the explorers get will be amongst strangers. And it seems incredibly unlikely that we'll find any planet sufficiently close to Earth to be worth colonizing!

Now, if someone invents a unique, valuable zero- or micro-gravity industrial process then look out! Space will get real sexy real fast.

Do you not see how this is an insulting question? You know very well the use cases for generics. You do not need users to present new ones. You can literally Google "generics use cases" and get hundreds of thousands of results that directly answer that question.
Medicare and Social Security are not entitlements. Social Security is a pension system that we pay into. There are some exceptions to this for Social Security but a large majority of the funds payed out are to people who paid into the system. Medicare is an insurance system for the elderly. We all pay into it. Social Security and Medicare happen to be government run and there aren't options to opt out of them but they are not welfare or entitlement programs.

The shortcomings for Social Security are easy to fix. I don't know about Medicare and it's actuarial prospects.

Crossing the 100% debt/gdp ratio is not a Rubicon. Lots of countries have done this and been none the worse for having done so. The U.S. famously exceeded 100% debt/gdp ratio during WWII. It was able to come down from that.

Current debt obligations for the U.S. are in low interest bonds. The borrowing of the money has not crippled the nation. Spending it poorly on stupid wars, a massive surveillance/security apparatus in the form of DOD, CIA, etc. has been a problem. Currently, as a percent of GDP taxes in the U.S. are quite low.

1. the empty interface does not do the first one, and thus does not allow writing typesafe structures and code

2. and it requires significant expense of explicit casts which are not just sanity checks (which is what they are in java, due to type system weaknesses)
My "problem domain" is "good, correct code". I write code in many different spaces, from web software to mobile apps to (a lot of) devops tools to (less these days) games. My criticism of Go isn't "it's not good at code for my problem domain," it's "it's not good at code for your problem domain, either, and your workarounds shouldn't need to exist."

User-provided data structures are a big one. (A language where I have to copypaste to have typesafe trees is a bad language.) But, beyond that, I build stuff to be compiler-verified. Here's a trivial example that I did yesterday that I straight-up can't do in Go, but did in C# as part of a object graph rehydration routine (where object A required pointers to object B from a different data set, and since it's 2017 we aren't using singletons so the JSON deserializer takes in converters that look up objects based on keys in object A's JSON representation):

public interface IKeyed<T> { T Key { get; } }

Just being able to do that on an object is powerful. C# has reified types; I know what T is at runtime. (I can't specialize on the type in C#, but I can fake it.) But I also know what it is at compile-time, and so I can't accidentally pass `IKeyed<String>` and `IDictionary<Int32, DependentObject>` to the same function because type constraints, yo.

I don't really care about fast code, because computers are all future-computers-from-beyond-the-moon. If I'm using a statically-typed language, I care about correct. Duplicated code is code that will--not may--lead to bugs. State I have to maintain in my head (like "this is an int map, talking to an int-keyed object set") is state that will--not may--lead to bugs.

If you're a statically-typed language that isn't helping me avoid bugs, you might as well not exist. You don't have to be whomping around stuff like Scala's Shapeless--I would argue that you shouldn't--but you have to provide at least a basic level of sanity and the difficulty of expressing stuff outside of parameterized types (even when there are workarounds) makes it not worth the hassle. I'll cape up for damned near everything in at least some context, from dynamic languages like Ruby and ES6 to Java (well, Kotlin) or C# to Modern C++ to Scheme or a Lisp. My no-buenos on programming languages are limited pretty exclusively to C and Go because both languages encourage me, encourage all of us who use them, to write bad code.

Insurance would be pointless for this problem. Insurers aren't magic risk-vanishers; they'd still specify an upper bound on their payout, leaving the airline with the unbounded amount, but the entire problem here is to upper-bound the downside!

That only leaves a) a law saturating the liability, or b) a contractual provision (and law validating such provisions) that saturates the liability. It still would explicitly prevent the possibility of colluders extracting an unbounded amount to be bumped.
They can and they do. Which is somewhat problematics. A lot of companies are trying to scale, and with the demand for software developers being so high (plus the push for diversity), bootcamp "grads" are a pretty popular target.

But companies rarely make the difference between a CS major (especially those with multiple internships or coops often spawning longer than the bootcamp on their own) and bootcamp graduates.

So they both start as SWE or Junior/Associate SWE. Often there's a drastic difference in ramp up and output, and people around them won't always know why (unless people stalk them on linkedin or ask).

That puts a ton of burden on teammates that may not be properly prepared to coach these people (they go through the same hiring process, same onboarding process, etc). Don't get me wrong, its a failing on the companies who hire people they are not prepared to handle, but they're often pressured to.

It's a really awkward situation.

> The point of deregulation is to lower the influence of the powerful

Except all actual concrete deregulation proposals are backed by powerful interests, and not because it reduces their power.

Now, the sales pitch to the public might be about reducing the influence of the powerful, but that's never the actual goal sought by the powerful backers. At best, it'd reallocation of power from one segment of the powerful to another, but more often it's just loosening constraints on the powerful.
China has 300%+ GDP to Debt ratio, collapsing economy, declining forex, fake GDP numbers, strict capital controls, internet censorship, middle income trap, authoritarian regime that brutalizes treatment of its own people, floods the world with cheap, shoddy products that destroys the manufacturing and community of other countries, pollution, poisonous food, poisonous water, mindwashing culture, allies with NK that seeks to destroy the world, pollutes the earth, etc.

And what do people want to talk about? how bad (supposedly) US is. When US leads the world in innovation and protection against aggression from NK and Russia (and China), ruled by dictators that brutalizes its own people. Whataboutism.

Iris: A Conversational Agent for Data Science
To be fair, China is a AI powerhouse in its own right. China is investing a lot of its money domestically on this problem as well. Lots of legitimate papers come from purely Chinese teams. ResNet was developed by a purely Chinese team. A lot of very important open source machine learning software out there is written almost entirely by Chinese nationals.

It's important to note this because shutting down Silicon Valley/US access to Chinese VCs and companies won't necessarily just harm them. It would harm us as well. It does need to be looked at though, just carefully.

Yep, but essentially "vanity publishing" is about managing - through money - to have something published that you weren't able to be paid for AND that you weren't able to publish even for free.

Essentially, crap.

C++ doesn't have generics, it has templates, which are effectively a syntax-constrained form of macros. That's why it lends itself to abuse (or creative use, depending on your take on macros).
I have used generics for quite long. When I used it I loved it. Then I moved to a different language for a few years, and lost generics. Now I have written large programs in GoLang too - and frankly I do not miss out on generics at all. Now, I also find reading code with generics isn't straightforward either - it requires a slightly complicated mental model.
