Great question! I'm the PM for both Cloud Datastore and Cloud Firestore.

The biggest difference is the integration with Firebase, so you have access to Mobile (iOS/Android) and Web SDKs along with a native offline mode. This comes along with the real-time synchronization feature that makes serverless app development a breeze.

Cloud Datastore is great for large scale server-side development where you manage your own connection to your app, such as running your own website on App Engine or via Compute/Container Engine.
Thanks for your feedback. Would it make sense then to prototype an app in Ionic/Corodva before paying someone to replicate the functionality natively using Java/Swift? Or is that really just false economy? My use case is really just a proof of concept at the moment.
Keep in mind you need a good base system in order for the third party applications to run reliably.
Yes chromebooks are very common developer laptops, up there in numbers with (still most popular) macbooks and linux laptops. They are more than sufficient for the lion's share of engineering roles. Corp engineering is pushing them hard because they are cheap and secure.
Why the downvote ? The person is polite and genuinly doesn't know something.

Just answer.

Besides, a "document database", like many term in computing, can be very confusing. Come on, we all had to be explained what the difference is between a software server vs hardware. This is not different.

> The C90 standard was 230 pages, but C11 is up to around 683 now: some 3X bigger.

The C11 standard (ISO/IEC 9899:2011) adds support for threading and atomics, and adds IEC 60559 specifications in its annex.

Yet, the language specification part of ISO/IEC 9899:2011 is less than 180 pages, and the remaining pages are dedicated to libraries and the annex, which on itself takes over 200 pages.

New York State (and some other states) are helping Amazon to replace brick and mortar stores by having unreasonable minimum wage levels. The level in NYS is $11 (I think) going to $13 and then $15. There have already been significant increases in the cost of food in grocery stores, but that is probably true of much of retail.

I was a pack a day smoker for quite a few years and a quality e cig finally made my smoking habit much less compulsive.

I almost made the switch 2 years prior but I wasn't allowed to use it in my private office so I figured what's the point?

Call it habit or whatever but I still can't get as much work done at home when I'm not smoking so I consider it my weekend treat.

"Clinical trials of NRT in patients with underlying, stable coronary disease suggest that nicotine does not increase cardiovascular risk. At worst, the risks of NRT are no more than those of cigarette smoking. The risks of NRT for smokers, even for those with underlying cardiovascular disease, are small and are substantially outweighed by the potential benefits of smoking cessation."

This is terrifying, I have elderly parents and I hope that they would call me if something like this happened to them but I don't doubt that they could get ambushed and something hard-to-unwind could happen.

The crux of the problem seems to be that the State allows guardians to profit from their arrangement. It's ludicrous that courts enforce guardian's financial claims against people who are presumed to be incapable of independence.

The (significant) downside of limiting early investment to accredited investors is that the early investors are the ones who gain the most profits. They're also the ones who take the most risk of losing the most. People seem to want low-risk high-reward investments and that demanding the appropriate laws will give it to them.

The thing that ICOs seem to have not caught onto yet is that early investors are mostly in it for the flip, as evidenced by so many ICOs quickly dropping below ICO price. This is easily solved by restricting delivery of the tokens to a company-benefiting schedule. The difficult decision will be balancing the imposed illiquidity with attracting enough initial capital to be viewed as attractive to later investors.
Since spot instances raise and lower their prices if it is profitable it soon won’t be also.
But even those aren't allowed to be mounted to your corp laptop. Those clients can only be mounted on a workstation unless you are doing iOS development.
Aren't they taking on somewhat more risk by contributing large sums of money earlier on? I kind of think the discount is acceptable, but there should be stronger terms around the ability to flip it immediately.
My guess is that the VCs are betting on this being another Twilio, which did go public. And it seems like the founders are okay with hedging their bet by taking so much money so early.

Perhaps a genuine (and still rare) example of 1999 style startup bubble investing.

Re: Having a partner with a "stable" coporate job.

I agree that this is helpful. When I was looking into going solo/freelancing in the legal field, I asked several solo lawyers how they provided health benefits for their families. All of them said that their spouse had a corporate job with good benefits.
I love this idea! I actually just finished creating a video course that teaches you how to build a similar thing: https://www.newline.co/courses/million-ether-homepage/

In our version you're able to bid for each pixel -- if the previous owner is outbid, the funds are returned. Sending funds in Solidity from a contract is really tricky to handle because there are so many ways it can go wrong.

For example, when you send funds to an address, it can purposefully reject your payment and even call back into your own functions. This is like if when you called a REST API, the API was potentially malicious and could call any public function in your code (!).

This is a really fun project and it's cool to see how you can connect web-apps to the Ethereum network.
When I looked into them, I did not find these books were Socratic/Inquiry-based. My perception is that a typical question-answer would not be of the kind I see in such a classroom.

In a classroom I might ask "What should be the precedence among these arithmetic operators?" Then there would be some discussion, leading eventually to a sensible answer.

But in the little books (I don't have one to hand so I'm making this up) a question would be more along the line of "What is a frame?" This would be the first question in the section introducing the topic. There is no way students could answer that, or ask it.

That is, what I find compelling about this way of instruction is that it leads students to the point. It is as if they discovered it themselves, in a way. (It is sometimes called Discovery method.) They see the wrong stuff as well as the right and that gives a better understanding of why right is right.

I don't know how Prof Friedman handles it in class. Possibly the in-person process is quite different than I felt reading the book. But reading the book I just felt it was a tortured way of telling me the facts.

So, are vendors working on rust toolchains for their hardware? I'm asking from a place of genuine curiosity, I left embedded a number of years ago. I've always viewed the 'rust breaking into embedded' problem as a toolchain issue, as well. But, my intuition is that vendors will be slow to release rust support in toolchains because the industry is still firmly in the "we write in C" camp.
Yeah, they discuss various mechanisms by which nicotine could increase risk, but unless I missed something, every time they look for an actual long term impact, there's no demonstrated risk from nicotine alone.

On a river system a system of dams can be incremental. Giant dams are all about creating water pressure for power generation. If you are interested in mitigating water flow over the course of a year within a watershed then a series of much smaller structures can be built incrementally.

There is a very western parallel to this issue. Most ski resorts are suffering from reduced snow and earlier springs. To feed their snow-making equipment they need water, preferably water that doesn't need to be pumped up a mountain or harvested from a protected river. Look around and you'll see alpine dams being build and expanded at large resorts. These aren't holding back streams, they are using terrain to store water/snow/ice in one season for use in an another, exactly the same problem.
Huh, ever since I was a child and smelled my first skunk I associated it with coffee, no one I ever shared the association with agreed with me. So this thread really puts some childhood questions to rest.
> If you hate it, why do it?

because every now and then, you need a little bit of a web front-end for a project you're working on, and it seems like overkill to hire somebody to do it for you.

i am in the same boat! i hate web programming. i know i can be easily ten times more productive in compiled languages.

every now and then i need a web front end as a component of a larger project. generally speaking, i can't justify hiring somebody to do that for me.

"Acute exposure to electronic cigarettes with nicotine increases cardiac sympathetic nerve activity in a pattern of heart rate variability that recapitulates the same heart rate variability pattern associated with increased cardiac risk in multiple populations with and without known cardiac disease."

I'm not arguing that e-cigs may not be healthier than smoking tobacco for a current smoker trying to quit. But they are lulling people into a false sense of safety which may be even more dangerous in the long run.

Why did you choose Go over Swift? What would be great is to mix native views dynamic views.
Very cool, thanks for sharing! Another challenging dimension is to balance what the EVM is good for with the problem you're actually trying to solve. It's certainly interesting to work in an environment where inefficiency literally translates into money.

Going for literally every pixel is too expensive, so we went for deci-pixels (10x10 pixel blocks). Incidentally, the original Million Dollar Homepage took the same approach to avoid fragmenting the space too much.

Lung cancer is known to be caused by carcinogens in smoke, vapor is not smoke, you cannot simply transfer the ills of smoking to vaping just because.

Nicotine alone is not harmful, it's addictive, but not harmful, it's not what causes cancer from smoking.

All apparent evidence is that vaping appears vastly healthier than smoking and there's no reason yet to believe vapor is harmful to the lungs; you breath water vapor all day every day. Calling something "foreign chemicals" might sound scary, but is not a plausible reason to call something definitely unhealthy. The word definitely is very bold, and not remotely justified.

> People run around vaping like there are zero consequences

No, they run around like it's vastly safer than smoking, which it clearly is. There's zero evidence anything to do with vaping has the cancer causing effects of smoke and burnt carcinogens.

Thank you for the link! A quote from the interview:

> The wave comes to us and by the time it gets to us, because it’s billions of light years, the squeezing and stretching is much less than 500%. It’s more like a part in 10 to the 21 or 22. So that means if you have a, the whole earth for example is about 10,000 kilometers in size, and so the whole earth will be only stretching by about 100th of a micron. I don’t even know how to imagine that.

Maybe it comes from the idea that many of the founding fathers didn't seem to care for the concept of democracy? At the time it was considered by many as essentially mob rule.

I can see that the context doesn't fit with today's ideas and definitions of how our country's government works, but that is exactly how the country was set up in the beginning.
Interesting, that sheds some light on the situation!

And indeed, I do always use the increment operator by itself. The amount of extra thought it takes to distinguish

while(i--)

from

while(--i)

just isn't worth it, when instead I could write

for(;i>0;i--)

which is very clear about what the last value of i in the loop is.
