You've really just laid out feelings rather than concrete technical reasons for why Kafka can't function as a permanent datastore.

Can you point to specific design elements in Kafka that would lead you to conclude that it isn't suitable for permanent data storage?

Also, Kafka doesn't "do" anything to your old data if you don't want it to. It's also open-source, so these behaviors can be verified.
To my knowledge closure compiler only supports partial code execution through heavy code annotation; e.g. lots of doc bloc comments. This seems like a different approach that doesn't need that.
I've had great success with ParrotMod[1] on one of my devices. But the dev doesn't have the device any longer, and the mod doesn't seem to work on Nougat.

This Android 7 Nougat build[2] should have many of the ParrotMod optimizations out of the box, however. It works great on my other Nexus 7.

The reason those rankings are (mostly) useless is that it's based on search engine hits. An active, effective community that for whatever reason doesn't generate a million and one blog entries a month will not perform as well on the index.

Frankly, a world in which we are not confident enough to say that slavery is worse than freedom, is a dystopia. It's valid to talk about difficulties of analysis, fragmented values, fallacies, edge cases, caveats, caution etc, but we cannot and should not abdicate from judgment.
You're right -- the commonwealth countries are in for a rude awakening! Especially considering government debts worldwide have increased A LOT since the 2008 financial crisis [0], they don't have the same ability to inflate their way out of the next crisis that they had after the 2008 crisis.

Even though I agree with the spirit of your statement, I don't think that central banks "let this happen" -- on the contrary, fiat currencies and central banks BY DESIGN massively exacerbate (and arguably cause) the boom and bust cycle [1].

Without central banks unilaterally determining the price of borrowing money (AKA interest rates) and propping up bankrupt institutions (e.g. see 2008 bank bailouts), the natural boom and bust cycle would have a much lower amplitude as the market would determine the price of borrowing money rather than disconnected bureaucrats sitting in the room pouring over the latest econometric reports. Price controls don't work for goods and services (see the USSR) and they certainly don't work for money either!

You have a good point, but the next sentence clearly states the metric: "Or at least they are not equal in preparing people to be productive in an advanced economy." It's not a statement about the artistic or spritual value of cultures, only their ability to create economically productive individuals, which is easy to measure.

I was confused by this passage:

>"Running Kubernetes on DC/OS allows you to run different types of workloads (more explicitly, both the stateless and stateful components that make up most modern applications) on the same infrastructure."

Can someoene answer - how does Running Kubernetes on top of DC/OS help you run stateful apps on Kubernetes?

Or is the meaning that DC/OS is better for running stateful services and then you can use K8 to run your stateless services?

Its been a while since I've used Mesos, is the path for running stateful services on complete and very compelling now?

Thanks.

This is not thinly veiled racism. What the author was ineloquently trying to point out is simple. African American's have been screwed by the system and so they have been taught not only distrust the system, but also to resent authority. Furthermore, these communities are now self-seggragating. Where at one time there was a vision/dream/fantasy that African Americans and Whites were converging toward the same destinations. We would all end up in suburbs, or brownstones, ala the Cosby's.

At some point African Americans, with encouragement through identity politics, perhaps rightly who am I to say, shifted toward wanting their own identity.

Now when you are raised to resent authority, and to live in your own subculture, you are cutting yourself off from the available avenues for success. Chances are many of your bosses will be white, many of your teachers and professors will be white. If you are taught to resent and discount them, you are at an immediate disadvantage. You have to listen to your boss, or at least give them a fair shot to make a living and advance. When you start your job as an adversary you cannot get power through the avenues readily available in broader society.

This is the author's point. Without the shared "bourgeois" values, as she calls it, makes succeeding very hard.

I will also note that there may be other ways to solve this problem aside from sharing those values.

> "Canada isn't facing a housing bubble as much as they are facing a debt bubble."

Are you sure? I've seen articles mentioning increasing debt in general, but that's mostly tied to mortgages, which isn't a big deal (unless rates rise quickly, which is unlikely).

For example: http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/canada-credit-cards-transuni...

"[credit card] delinquency rates in British Columbia and Ontario dropped by 2.1 per cent and 3.3 per cent, respectively." (by contrast to Alberta and Saskatchewan)

Car loans are ~ 2% of total debt, at least in Quebec: https://www.desjardins.com/ressources/pdf/pv170828f.pdf?resV...
Package management was so frustrating coming from Ruby to Python. There are so many programs, and version conflicts that I run into all the time. With gems and bundler, it was rare if things didn't work.
You just haven't tried.
But you have to be motivated to learn the language. Set aside the people who love learning for learning's sake (which is not everyone). With English being the default world language, and American media outside the Internet also typically in English, well, the motivation to learn a language probably isn't quite as strong here.

The biggest advantage here would come from picking up Spanish. Live in a place with large Hispanic populations and you'll find plenty of media over here in Spanish in certain locations. It actually wouldn't be too difficult to immerse yourself somewhat. It's not surprising therefore that the greatest percentage of American bilingual speakers have Spanish as their other language (http://www.gallup.com/poll/1825/about-one-four-americans-can...).

I agree that media exposure can play a huge motivation. However, at least in the past, mainstream media in the United States was almost always originally in English. To use one example, in many other nations, foreign languages (English for sure at least) appear in pop radio hits constantly. In American pop music, in contrast, foreign languages rarely appear -- when present, they usually were one hit wonders, eg your "Sukiyaka", "99 Luftballoons", and "Amadeus" type songs. Obviously there are a few exceptions even "just outside" that mainstream circle (example: Rammstein) but "the norm" of US pop radio in the past was pretty much 99% English.

I do wonder if this will change a little. I am hearing more foreign language lyrics in American pop songs (mostly Spanish); some foreign media forms seem at least cult popular (anime is an example of a foreign medium with a decent sized American subculture); and as you point out, the Internet allows access to far more media forms than you could get previously.
Many, if not all, successful cultures have a tradition of helping others overcome difficulties. Maybe that's what we should be looking at, rather than making too much of a deal of the fate of the excellent, who are generally well-able to look after themselves. Society is not a zero-sum game, unless we choose to play it that way.
Thanks for posting. The original article is clearly hyper-racist--how unbelievable that the only cultural tradition suited for the 21st century also just happens to be the one which you hail from--but also just weirdly certain about things that deserve no certainty.
My site is aimed at people who want to dig deep into the literature. I don't say any of it is significant or real. I say "here's a paper that thinks it's real. Go read it". I can certainly do better to qualify things more clearly.

I've been working in genetics for some time and what I have noticed is that all of these markers start as an unjustified signal in GWAS studies with no biological
proof. Eventually however, some clever biologists eventually figures out the role of that gene in model organisms, and the locus becomes more confidently verified. Many of the markers for obesity, for example, have been thoroughly vetted now as being significant and having a well explained role in physiology. They show up in the brain centers that regulate metabolism.

My mission for that project is to provide links/searches into the literature for educational reasons, so that I can inspire people to pursue careers in science and figure out what the unknown genes actually do.

Just because a single SNP variant has a high penetrance in the population and a low overall risk doesn't mean that the gene itself isn't extremely important. Genotype arrays like 23andMe only test a small fraction of the genome. What we are finding is that many of these common variants are co-inherited with rare variants that are the actual sites of functional importance for a trait. So just because a SNP on a genotype array has a low risk, the gene can still be profoundly relevant.
For configuration you very much do not want Turing-complete language -- or
any programming language, for that matter. Configuration quite often is
processed by more than just the original program it was intended for, so plain
data dump is the easiest form from this angle. Also, it's much easier for
human operator to just read the values than to interpret a de facto script
that produces values.

There were several attempts at using a programming language the tool was
written in for storing its configuration. None worked well enough to catch up
as a general trend, and not because the languages used were Turing-complete.

My opinion is that a programmer has seen for a short moment what sysadmins do
and decided to make something to help in the task, without really
understanding what's needed and what works, what doesn't work, and why.

Undoubtedly many people think like this, but I've never been able to understand it.

I'm forced to use other languages and rarely have the time to do something in Lisp for fun, but when I do, it is the most readable and least eye-straining language that I know.

Python is far more eye-straining in its monotony.

I understand other arguments: I'd like batteries included outside Lispworks/Allegro, larger repositories of examples that reflect best practices, perhaps even an improved Common Lisp.

But readability? I just don't get it.

Lacking infix syntax out of the box is a problem, though not hard to add as a sibling mentioned; for those curious I like linking to this gem dating back to '93 since it's part of quicklisp now https://github.com/rigetticomputing/cmu-infix The rest of the syntax being somewhat alien-ish is also a problem, but it goes away with practice. (https://www.thejach.com/imgs/lisp_parens.png)

But I don't think syntax alone is enough to explain Lisp's apparent languishing (though only apparent since it seems to be on the rise again), because we have Clojure. Clojure has the same syntax issues as Lisp (ok a bit fewer because of no reader macros and there's an argument that bracket variety is more pleasant to read) yet it's very popular all things considered. And because Clojure has a BDFL, if lacking infix OOTB was really an issue (I don't think it's come up in any of the annual surveys), RH could just include one of the libraries for it out of the box. SBCL could do that for Lisp, but it would be non-standard.

To me there are several stronger drivers for language adoption than anything the language itself offers. Here are three: having a BDFL (Python, Perl, PHP, Clojure... not Lisp), having big corporate backing (Swift, Objective C, C#, Go, arguably Java but driven by more than 1 megacorp... not Lisp), being the lingua franca of a very widespread platform (Javascript (web), PHP (shared web hosts), Bash, C/C++ (unix, windows), Java (android)... not Lisp, maybe if the Lisp Machine had won but it didn't).
At a young age, yeah, it correlates with quite bad outcomes.
Excellent questions. The issue is speciesism. Humanity wasn't a problem for most of its existence. But it has now started to consume every ressource, spread on every tiny bit of land, and exterminate every other form of life.

If, as you say, humans are as much a product of the earth/universe as any other part of it, what is the justification for speciesism? What gives us the right to take everything for ourselves, kill and decimate other forms of life?

The rate of the extinction of species that the earth is going through right now is unprecedented in all of earth's history, to say nothing of the torture we inflict on farm animals. And this is not an accident. We are doing it on purpose and we're proud of it; we call it "development", when the right word should be: destruction.
True. My optimistic/pessimistic daydream is that, as the only game in town for some period of time, it would have introduced enough developers to the language to really give it traction. We'd now be seeing people asking "Why can't I run the same language on the server as in the browser?" It would be the second renaissance!
So the question is, what's the result? Is it actually more performant? If not, have you identified where further work is needed to make it more performant?
The response makes the situation even more absurd. Suddenly it is OK to denounce a professor because he/she is not correct from someones point of view? Isn't a debate about what is real and what is not the base for any science?

I would understand, but not be happy for, that professors are called for not being politically correct. I can't understand denouncing for not being correct by someone's argumentation.

I believe more and more that social justice and seeking for truth are not compatible.

"Culture' is an exceptionally poorly defined term, and there is no hope of applying any kind of rigor here.

I got curious, so I did a google search. It appears that the home ownership rate is very similar between Canada and the US. At the moment, it is higher in Canada as the US is still recovering from the effects of the mortgage crisis. That said, I don't disagree with you. The US has made a policy of promoting home ownership, more so than other countries. That has potentially come with adverse side effects. On the other hand, Canada's relative banking conservatism has arguably prevented Canada's own housing bubble from bursting which could be, itself, a bad thing.

It's been said, "You learn nothing from succeeding".

If you're going to compare these three you should be having a fair test to Cloudflare as well.

The conclusion basically tells us you just half-assed this benchmark. It wouldn't be hard to do this comparison and have the host header at the origin respond to the correct content. Really this is just a lazy blog post.

> I bet most people would claim C(now) > C(slavery)

Without defending slavery, the obvious problem with your line of reasoning is that most people (implicitly most people alive today) are influenced by C(now). Even if you identify a group of values that are relatively constant across cultures (including bygone cultures), the best you can do is say "culture X better conforms to the majority values than culture Y". It's probably worthwhile to be able to make such a statement, but it's still not an objective statement. If you want to make objective statements about morality and cultures, you need to subscribe to a philosophy of moral absolutism, which is antithetical to liberal tradition prior to a few years ago.
That's going to be a little bit of optimization on top of a magnitude difference in demand. The overwhelming effect is still more congestion.
