One of my colleagues from my time at Percona worked fairly extensively on Mydumper and Myloader; making the locking semantics better and the segemented files work. It's a pretty amazing tool, since it lets you dump tables in parallel, with very granular locks (something mydumper does not allow).

As a logical backup tool, it's invaluable. When combined with binary logs and regular binary backups, it makes for a nice and comprehensive MySQL backup solution. It even works with managed DB services like RDS.

YMMV of course, but given how easy it is to test for your own use cases, it's absolutely worth taking a look at.

Curious why documentation could not be versioned the same way as the source code. For example, if the source code uses Git, then changes to the documentation get updated just like any other files in the project tree.
This is what we used to do. Then send a large zipfile with schreenshots and other data to the lawyers to handle the contact. Shortly after the scraping usually stopped. The contact and sell access wasnt an option because it was competitors taking the data.

Well, if your mind is attuned to seek out offence at every opportunity, you might say that "nip" is short for Nipponese (like Brit is short for British Person) and "fag" is an old word for homosexual.

But of course "Nipponese out for a homosexual" makes no sense and no one would ever say that...

I suspect it's related to the need to possibly re-orient the satellite to have a particular place visible by the camera. It must be relatively slow, and possibly even cost reaction mass, thus the commitment to shoot more of the same area.

I'm not sure I can agree that Fukushima isn't an internationally noteworthy incident. It's even one that really requires long term monitoring of radiation levels (locally only of course).

Many mistakes were made in the handling of the Fukushima reactor and accident. Radiation accidents have the potential of be massive disasters. It's important to learn from Fukushima, and not just treat it as an "acceptable cost".

None of the nodes users, which define and police consensus in bitcoin, is interested in reducing the security of the network to allow miners more control. This is the fourth failed coup attempt of the bitcoin network, and the only thing that it has demonstrated, is the resilience of the network against large corporate centralization attempts. Segwit might very well be the last architectural change of the protocol.
Every font with ligatures allows for this, because they also include glyphs for the component parts of the ligatures. It's the responsibility of the typesetting software to enable or disable ligatures as required, eg. with this TeX package for selective suppression of ligatures:

That's basically only useful as a stack variable, though, which was my point. Well, that and "immutable" in the context of C++ is misleading.

It was on topic because I am saying the C++ boilerplate wouldn't really be better than the Go boilerplate. All the "out of context" details are basically my point. You need to know a lot of surprising things to C++ well.

My oldest was 3 when we moved to the US my youngest was born there. Every year they spend 6-8 weeks in Denmark with their grandparents and at home we speak Danish and only occasionally do we speak english with them.

They both have less vocabulary but the oldest can read both Danish and English. We never taught him to read danish but believe that spending time in Denmark for that amount of time still exposes them to enough Danish to internalize some of the language constructs and general orientation of language.

It's been quite interesting to follow.
JioPhone India – All you need to know
I think this comment gets at the root of the issue. This is syntax highlighting, but it's done by the font rendering engine and it has no context.

Syntax highlighting without context is not really a good experience. The highlighter needs to know what language you're using, and a pretty good idea of how to parse it.

And the comment on ligatures below points out, this is actually true of ligatures for human languages as well, but I doubt the font engines are properly tuned for that either. I'd make an exception for the 'obvious' ligatures like gg gy etc where the descenders were overlapping without a ligature. That shouldn't be an issue in a monospaced context though.

I think there are different ways to be a good programmer, beyond basic intelligence and diligence.

In security and high-availability related environments – where I've spent most of my time – it is important that you validate all ins and outs, system and function returns, check if writes succeed, in short, not unlike a chess player, to be able to fit all possible moves and scenarios that could go wrong inside your head. You probably need to naturally possess a mind that is precise and can find all loopholes.

Another way is to see efficiency through layers of algorithms and realities of real-life systems. Universities focus too much on mathematical formulas in my opinion; real systems are not clean and simple like a math function with few variabes. To understand by experience where complex systems with remote databases, shared disks and network can go wrong and write code that foresees, prevents or deals with unexpected complications is an important skill that sadly enough is hard to quantify on a resume. A lot depends on experience and knowledge, but you need to have interest and curiosity to get there.

And finally, you have those programmers that can create a more-or-less working mock-up in mere hours. In my experience, those are not always the people that want to spend a year ironing out all the bugs, but it is a valuable skill to be able to adapt and churn out something fast and iterate on it. Dare I say, the Javascript mindset. You probably need to be pretty enthusiastic about new technologies and quick on your feet.

To find not only a motivated person but the right "type" for a job position is probably not an easy task, just as it is hard for a programmer to find the right job that fits your own particular strengths and way you like to work. You might be a good programmer, but end up in the wrong environment. If you are a thorough and perfectionistic person, you're probably not going to be happy in a mockup-a-day start-up.

I run a property website that lists properties for sale, rent, etc. A big part of my job is importing feeds, scraping sites (with permission) - and preventing others scraping our site. I know that some people will scrape, but I make I try to make it unprofitable for them to do so.

We do a bunch of other stuff, like adding fake properties so we can check who is scraping our content, and using tarpits.

Developers always argue with me that it's pissing in the wind, that "content wants to be free", that you shouldn't bother even trying to prevent it since it's inevitable. And yet it has helped. We did a split A/B test on preventing scrapers, and it turns out that it's quite effective.
> Enhanced Vision produces extremely sharp, detailed images of even faint astronomical objects by accumulating their light and projecting it into the telescope's eyepiece.

So... it pretty much works the same way every other telescope works? I read the whole article, but couldn't find a single detail about how it can actually resolve better than other telescopes of its size.

The video shows an augmented reality overlay. If that's what it's all about, then I'm really not impressed (if I wanted to see images other people have taken, I wouldn't be using a telescope). Let's hope that's not what they're referring to when they say "Our compact 4.5-inch telescope allows observers to see objects fainter than Pluto."

> At an international scale, I don't think Fukushima is much worse than a near miss.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) seems to disagree. They have a very particular rating system for nuclear incidents, and rated Fukushima at highest level 7 ("Major accident"), much above "accident with local consequences" (level 4) or "anomaly" (level 1).

As Fukushima could have been avoided with more careful engineering and caused long-lasting damage to property and the environment on a wide area, I think it's good that nuclear experts take it seriously enough.

No one can stop you from forking bitcoin. It's open source. Anyone can do it. What you can't do is force all of the existing users to stop using bitcoin, and instead use your china-coin fork.

I wish you woukd fork. But you won't. Because as soon as you do, you'll find that none of the existing users of bitcoin will follow your fork. So a week or so later, you'll blame core.
You should stick with Cobol. It paid the developers for 60 years, and has a very fair chance to continue commanding reasonably good salaries for another 20 or 30.

24 lines, really ?
True. Tools paralysis, like analysis paralysis ...
An interesting analogy is the war on transformer based battery charger wall warts, because as much as 24 watt hours of "Energy vampires" will destroy the earth when multiplied by a billion or so people and their cellphones. 24 billion watt hours per day is a moderately impressive electric power plant, so there is some truth in that. Of course the fancier construction and shorter life of the elaborate chargers almost certainly causes more environmental damage in total (classic greenwashing). Hence the short lived hot running expensive switching power supply wall wart we've all come to know and tolerate. You're talking about all or most of humanity using over a thousand times as much energy, yeah that's not going to go over well.

Another example is it costs about $1 per watt-year where I live, and people completely freak out about using old desktop computers that draw 100 watts (aka $100/yr) and suggest the usual greenwashing solutions of spending hundreds of dollars on exotic new hardware that will pay for itself in only 50-100 years (of course its realistic lifespan is more like 5 years tops ...). 2400 watts continuous draw means $2400 per year to the electric company, roughly, aside from demand for air conditioning from all those sweaty heads. Most people are very poor in our current pyramid so this would likely be an issue only for 1%er types.

I would find it more interesting in terms of reducing total death rate to be able to drop burn rate to 10 watts or so and genetically engineer some photosynthesis in to skin. So in a famine you seem to exist by doing little more than sleep while sunbathing, not entirely unlike an elderly housecat. Or in the winter even without photosynthesis, turn the dial down to hibernate levels.

Odd that solitary animals like bears seem to hibernate pretty well but supposedly (note, supposedly...) hyper social hyper extroverted humans don't hibernate although a tribe structure would seem to enormously benefit... Probably some pre-conception is wrong or there's something about higher human consciousness that doesn't tolerate dreamworld for 23 hours per week.

Fructose loads your liver. Sucrose breaks down into glucose (which can be metabolized by many cells) and fructose (which is only metabolized by the liver). They're both bad when over consumed.

Personally, I don't think any company can get as big as Apple, Google, or Microsoft without succumbing to government demands.

We know there were backdoors in Windows ("_NSAKEY"). Because of that it would be naive to assume that there is not a backdoor there still.

As for the others, it would require blind faith to think they haven't done the same. The only exceptions would be open source systems.
Another approach is to run a localhost-interface only web proxy on the remote system and ssh -L 127.0.0.1:3128:127.0.0.1:3128 remotehost ... which replicates the remote proxy port on your local system.

These claims are impossible for a direct-view optical telescope. But do they imply that they are accumulating photons on an image sensor and showing the image to the observer electronically - basically long exposure photography?

I believe it is more circumstantial rather than our intention. The region where we originated also contributes to it. English is the common language amongst the many dialects and languages there. When I was growing up, it was only at home and the neighbor that I got to speak our language. The school was the ultimate mix of languages and English was the only way. If you know the North-Eastern India, it will be a lot easier to comprehend.

Now to our kids' generation, most of whom are raised outside of the region. And thanks to the intermingling marriages, it is even worst. Just in our family, our kids' cousins are Americans, Marathis, Biharis, Khasis, Tankhuls, Nagas, et al. I'm still discovering more and list will sure increase. Not just communities, our extended family is an amalgamation of Athiest, Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and what not.

Sometimes, during fateful summer vacations or a big family ceremony, when all the kids play come together, their common language is — you guessed it — English. They all talk a blend of many but English remains the de facto that everyone can communicate.
