I've found Liquibase [1] to be really good for this, although the docs don't give much of a hint about how to structure your change sets.

If you get it right, it's really easy to manage the DB schema structure and commits to your source repository are very legible (because there's one file per entity being modified), much better than interleaving all changes in a single stream IMO.

Particular highlights:

- Their annotated SQL format allows you to create a file per table that contains a first "changeset" to create the table and subsequent changesets for each alteration

- The "runOnChange" option allows idempotent, non-data-destroying parts of your schema such as view and function definitions to be kept as individual files and modified in place (Liquibase uses a hash of the definition to decide whether to rerun it when migrating)

- The "includeAll" tag lets you collect together the scripts in directories ("/views", "/tables", "/functions", etc.) and have them automatically picked up and run from a single "schema.xml" file in the root.

Why would they have a vested interest? If they felt it was a good way to make money they'd be all over it.

They are already interested in smart contracts, when I was working with them last year I went to a presentation on ethereum and how interesting it is.

It's the speculative nature of BTC and other coins that he seems to be commenting on.
Ouch, my condolences. (SBCL not working though?)

There are multiple credit reporting agencies in Germany that are actively used by lenders, the others have just managed to keep a low profile. Arvato Infoscore and Creditreform Boniversum both have high-quality data just like the well-known Schufa.
This is not true as often you find surprising things that are not general which ARE NOT GOSSIP. To stay with the physics theme, the Schwarzschild solution of general relativity is a very special one and I don't think anybody thinks that black holes are gossip.

And it is certainly not surprising that amateurs in general forget that F = ma is only valid if the mass does not change. The more general expression is F = dp/dt, where p is the momentum. But this, of course, is also only valid in inertial systems. It's not really important to the article but it does kind of annoy me that he uses the most special case of an expression in an argument about it being general.

He could have actually made the point about generality by comparing this expression to the most general one for the force (in a frame of reference that accelerates). That would have also shown why generality can quickly become infeasible in practice. If he knew how many approximations people make in the real world, not because they want to, but because they HAVE TO, his worldview might be a different one.

I feel like he's trying to make a point about a very specific scenario but doesn't mention it explicitly. Instead he tries to be general and therefore fails to understand that his view doesn't actually apply in general.

The thing I can't stand (rage) is when you see something interesting, then have to trawl through dick jokes, and dank memes.... to find an actual real topic answer to a redditor's interesting question. It winds me up no end!

It is true that inflation will make the value of the debt shrink over time, however that is only true of wages rise at the same rate or faster, something that has not been happening. So inflation reduces the value of the debt whilst at the same time interest rates increase it to make up for the lost value and without a corresponding rise in wages then the value of the debt is not falling and becoming easier to repay as you suggest it would.
Blender is a staple application if you are into 3D Printers nowadays. Keep up the good work, team! :)
Good, point.

I was once an experimental physicist and never psychologist. In physics there is a lot of trial and error before you can get the experiment to do anything at all. Anyone who reads your paper needs fewer trials.

So I was going to agree with you that in fields where experiments work differently, reproduction can cost as much as the original study. But on second thought, that's wrong: and indeed it is the whole point of the thread.

There is always trial-and-error. You simply don't know if your theory is correct. And there is always risk of a methodolical weakness that you only understand after seeing the data. The trouble is after you have already spent all your time and grant money on your study, you have every incentive to paper over these issues. Indeed even if you are scrupulously honest, you will have to shove study in the proverbial file drawer - because you don't have the resources to try another iteration.

So I think it's still true that a new experiment costs more than reproduction, and many of the problems with studies arise from trying to pretend that cost doesn't exist.

I think GP was just saying that in the case of phones, it's silly to try to make the devices single-user since people are going to want to have their own phone anyway, even if they could log in to their partner's phone and see "their own".

I would like to hear from people who work from Google right now. The policies and priorities have changed. Their approaches have changed. It has changed since many people have worked there. I very much doubt anyone from youtube will speak up here, even with a throwaway.

I've made the observation previously that it's harder to tell the difference between CGI and Fake Actual than between CGI and Real.

The examples I gave previously are movies. The CGI of a bedroom in a movie doesn't look noticeably more fake _because_ all the actual "bedrooms" in movies are sets built by carpenters a few hours before filming. The "actual" bedroom lacks all the details of a real bedroom, so it doesn't surprise us when a CGI one does in a movie.

It's interesting to compare Dogme 95 films, a movie made strictly to those rules is using real spaces not sets - among many other constraints, and so it looks more "real". Of course you can't make Iron Man 2 or The Fast and the Furious this way, but a lot of other stuff _could_ be done under these rules if we wanted it to look like the real world.
I tend to be really careful with this generational judgement.

I'm 30 myself and I find a lot about my parents' generations to be good and naturally a lot bad things as well.

Now I'm frequently really tired of my generation (Gen Y, I guess) and, surprisingly, find recently that I'm really hopeful about Gen Z. They're like more polished version of us. Maybe it's an effect of growing up in post-financial-crisis world.
I have been a Reddit user for more than ten years, and am a software developer, and this is the first time I've heard of embedding Reddit comments.
Saving's a poor idea at the moment because the interest rates on offer are so tiny.

Looking at the last 25(ish) years of UK data the base rates have tended to be above inflation, until the 2008 crisis.

But yes, inflation will slowly devalue your debt if the debt is a static amount, borrowing can be a good driver of growth, when managed well. And sitting on piles of currency is not good either - the currency is a medium of exchange, not a store of value, it's better to encourage the economy by encouraging investment over hoarding.

Further, deflationary currency values work yesterday over work today, helping people lock in value and higher wealth purely by being older entrants into the market.
I don't visit any ICO sites except for stories on HN.

Yet, the last few weeks, I've seen Facebook ads for "initial coin offering" of at least 3 different coins. One was Paragon coin (something to do with weed), another had something to do with speech recognition in the blockchain, and a third one that I can't recall.

All of these ads were trying to tout their celebrity credentials (Paragon coin was pushing one of its rapper investors, again, can't remember the name).

This is a classic example of a bubble to me. "Celebrity" founders who wouldn't know the first things about the blockchain basically throwing together in-vogue terms ("weed!", "speech recognition!", "AI!") to get initial buyers, then cash out.

We've hit peak ICO
Hm, but it's using the same phone number so I think that the Sim will register with the Sim in your phone. Setup will all have to be done from your phone.

I don't think that you will need a new plan, I think that it will use your current plan.

Have you tried Gambit, or alternatively Gerbil (which uses Gambit as its foundation)?
Which country do you live in and what inflation rate (and what metric) are you suffering under? Versus what rate of return on basic index fund?

Plenty of countries have lived through double-digit inflation. The real issue there is not so much savings as wages: inflation means needing to renegotiate wages more often. This caused a lot of the UK's labour unrest in the 70s, for example, or the problems of Brazil leading to the "Real".

Also people keep thinking inflation is purely due to money supply and forgetting that eventually you have to exchange money for goods and services at some kind of price level.
I would argue that Pivotal has beaten both of them with Spring.

At the moment, the base rates in the UK are well below inflation, it's entirely possible to get a mortgage (for instance) at a rate lower than inflation, eroding the debt in real terms.

The wage thing is a red herring, and has effects regardless of the currency model.
I would like to have a docking station that could turn my phone into a desktop-like device, with a proper mouse, keyboard and monitor(s). I don't need much, a full-featured web browser, Spotify and a handful of other straight-forward apps are all I really need, but I wouldn't mind a fully-fledged Linux environment.

If I could also get a laptop-like dock, my phone would take care of ~95% of all my computing needs.

Strictly personal, though. I envision simply having a different phone for for work, for privacy reasons. But plugging it into the same docks.
Apple will likely sell tens of millions of AirPods this year. At $159 each, and presumably at very healthy margins.

This is no small business, even by Apple's standards!

Removing the headphone jack was a marketing-driven decision. AirPods are a cool product, but wouldn't have sold anywhere near as well without the forcing effect of the jack removal.

This guy managed to install a fully-functioning jack back into an iPhone 7:

It misses an important element that may seem obvious but isn't: truth. Some insights are indeed, general and surprising, but when examined closely, turn out to be false.

That's what happened to many of the ideas presented by Daniel Kahneman in Thinking, fast and slow. He obviously aimed for "general and surprising" but accepted as solid results the outcome of lone, irreproducible experiments.

We (our current culture -- it wasn't always like that) love originality and "surprises", but as a rule, the more surprising the result, the more scrutiny it should withstand.
No, but if I left and went for a ten minute walk I would definitely get disapproving looks. At the time I was at a point in my career where I had fewer options and took what I could get.

In my experience, it works like a dream. The combined fingerprint reader / home / back / app list button on MG5+ is great. I think it took a few minutes to fully internalize it. Also "make a twisting motion to start camera" is incredibly handy. I don't use the "shake for flashlight", as I fear it will misfire and empty my battery.
That's not the question. The question is : is your content sensitive/important/unique/are-you-paranoid-enough that it's worth the price/time/learn ? There are alternatives afaik, that one cba to use them is not the problem. Companies do money out of our own laziness, they're not entitled to anything. I have a hard time understanding what all this fuss is about.
F = ma is interesting because there are universal forces like electricity, gravitation and electromagnetism that we use for our daily life. Moreover there is a marriage between maths and physics since acceleration is the second derivative of space with respect of time. If you are a new Newton you should create the new concepts and develop the new maths to create a surprising step forward. Looking for a word that goes from gossip to F=ma is like using a telescope to watch a worm. Concepts are about frameworks and using a right scale to focus concepts.
3 Things Every CTO Should Know About Kubernetes
Right now most information dissemination seems to happen through commercial or state actors. Neither appears to be very reliable regarding neutrality and impartiality. There are also political and religious platforms that don't inspire much confidence either in that regard. Maybe academic platforms still have some independence, but those are mostly aimed towards scientific studies most so than contemporary news items.

Where would one host "news" or data that most platforms aren't eager to support for one reason or another? Where do you publish an article critical of the state in countries where the media is state-owned, or critical of corporations that sponsor the media outlets?

This bias problem might be one of the most tricky things for mankind to solve, even though it would seem it should turn out to be equally important for anybody regardless of one's position at either end of whatever spectrum.
What you describe is the setup. The key point of the essay lies in the later part about the delta of novelty and how useful an insight can be in relation to its novelty and generality.

>Problem is, though, it only takes one incompetent person - or even one person making a mistake one time - to open the door for a massive breach.

In the absence of effective governance and process, sure. But half the point of them is to ensure the single-actor miscarriages get caught and handled.

The real problem today is that the maturity of an organization's governance/process is not directly linked to the sensitivity of the data being protected. Instead it's linked to the size and age of the corporation, and the amount of resources (people, money) available to expend on them.

For systems of this kind of scale, for organizations of this kind of size, handling data of this level of sensitivity, you'd expect a huge bank of governance and process designed specifically to guard against single-actor breaches. Things like active automated monitoring for change to the network and systems, full change control/approvals process, system certification, risk analysis, penetration testing.

These things are hard to implement, take time, and are a significant investment that lacks easily measurable benefits. It doesn't help that this stuff is seen as 'not sexy', either.
Well, as long as you have an iPhone 6, you never do, I guess.

The OLED screen and the gesture based UI makes me think about the Nokia N9.

No, it's not, because the CPU is still local, so you're not just using your device as a terminal to a remote server.

We don't have the infrastructure for this yet.

The absolutely open version - even if it was just storing apps centrally and downloading them on demand, and not downloading everything - would still require something like 100 times more bandwidth than we have now to be usably fast.

A workable version, with local storage providing device accounts for a small number of users, would still need more local storage than we have now, and storage isn't cheap enough yet to make this fully affordable.

256/512GB devices could possibly handle family needs, just about, but would struggle at work.

I had to depart quickly so I had to cut it short. To elaborate further:

The temp offices usually work with day contracts, allowing them to 'fire' you when you get a bad review, they don't need you that day or they don't like you. This provides a very unstable income.

In my case, the company that was hiring me used the temp jobs as a kind of 'trial period' and easily disposable workforce. If somebody did not live up to expectations, that person does not come back, but every day, 50 of those workers were needed. It took me 1.5 year as a temp worker on day contracts to get a permanent contract from the employer. I was a lucky exception.

Looking back on the stress, the uncertainty, the misery and humiliation I had to undergo to keep the most basic job, I would never, ever go back to that industry again.
Ah, HN-level paranoia.

There is also one more scenario. The moment you have bulk of the bitcoin money in the hands of the 0.01% or even the 1%(Thanks to mining) people- The remainder 99.whatever% people can simply call it quits, refuse to trade in bitcoins and start their own currency. What will follow is obvious, the rich people and their whole enterprise can end up being worth 0.

To prevent it they will be forced to do call in the national armies, use lethal violence to force their currencies on people and keep order. Then establish central banks to control the supply of currency. Or in other words convert bitcoin to fiat money.

Mining has already created an incentive for people to in a way make money without any productive activity or trade, but through ledger keeping. It will be hard to convince people in the future to start skint poor in an economic system where there are 1% rich people who made all their money through non productive enterprise. And expect them to continue to suffer through it.

Finally the inevitable will happen.
I don't understand. Once someone knows that they are using these words wrong. Why would they not only persist but insist that everyone else is wrong? Is this just due to embarrassment or something else?

It is possible. The inverse of m is called q. The function q takes an infinite sequence of coin flips and one by one changes every heads to 1 and every tails to 0. The infinite string of zeros and ones is then prepended with a 1 and interpreted as a transfinite natural number in binary notation. This will not take forever because each change will only take half as long as the previous one. A transfinite natural number can exist since there are an infinite number of natural numbers. If we stop at 1-bit numbers then the natural numbers are not an infinite set. Likewise, if we stop at 2-bit numbers then the natural numbers are not an infinite set. Our only option is to concede that transfinite natural numbers do actually exist and that they can be put into correspondence with all sequences of coin flips.

which is a minor benefit to her, but in us being able to read them and then choose the best ideas to adapt/copy/implement

One nitpick: it's no minor matter to Ms. O'Brien that she be able to complete her big project, and the keep the tools for doing others in future.

My more important point is that is the common case: our own freedom is important morally, but materially we benefit most from other people's freedom. Web pioneer firms are actually good examples here: they were free to build technologies that are handy for you and me even though that exposed knowledge some people would have wanted stifled.

The value of "free hearing" as a consequence of "free speech" is just one case of this and I am happy enough if the newly coined term makes the situation clearer.
