Worth noting that (I'm 99% sure) you're absolutely allowed to benchmark Oracle, just not publish the results publicly. It's pretty common for DB papers to compare against postgres and a number of "mystery" databases because the authors' license agreement with Oracle prevents them from naming it.
Miki Meek a radio producer who I meet on a 4 day trek through Guatemala has a This American Life about a phone booth in the middle of nowhere in Japan with no connections to power, people go there to talk to deceased loved ones. It's a beautiful piece of radio journalism. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/597/...
And there's the false equivalency. Fake news:

Pizzagate - demented and wholly made-up

Benghazi - thoroughly debunked in Congressional hearings

emails - no criminality and no exposure of classified information

vs real news:

pissgate - a well-respected expert on Russian dirty tricks claims among other things that Trump hired prostitutes in Moscow to pee on each other. Some of those other claims have been corroborated - and we found out today that the special counsel investigating Trump's Russian connections (a Republican) has met with the author.

Russia - Trump's family, campaign officials, and appointees met with Russian operatives and lied about it repeatedly. His campaign manager offered private briefings to Putin's close ally. His sons bragged about Russian funding that Trump denies.

tax returns - Trump, who has a long well-documented history of shady financing and unsavory deal-making, would have rather lost the election than reveal where his money comes from.

OK, so in the space of one post now a Russia-Catalonia connection has progressed from being "alleged" to being stated simply as fact, as if it doesn't even need substantiation at all.

Your post is kind of reminds me of this:

> value of those 2 piglets is pretty much 0 dollars

It’s like a hundred or $200 [1]. The same amount as a package of mine that was recently signed for and pilfered. The NYPD assigner a detective and co-ordinated with our City Council. (Note: they initially ignored the case. I had to call my City Councilman’s office to prod them.)

I’m not saying it’s not politically motivated. But one needs more proof than an activist group going under cover and stealing piglets getting pursued by the FBI. More probable: the identity of the perpetrators pissed off the farms, moving them from “meh, shit got stolen” to “write letters to everyone” mode. Law enforcement reacts when you document and follow up with them and their politicians, irrespective of who you are.

Can confirm. I live in the countryside. There are vending machines down some roads with ricefields on both sides.
Postgres uses GEQO for really long lists of joins. For lots of workloads, if you turn it off, you'll get better performance because the query planning time is dwarfed by the runtime of a bad plan, so you're happy to wait and brute force it. But even then, the constraints in which that brute forcing applies are pretty limited (by the schema and by potentially suboptimal SQL).

I'm sorry that you think my suggestion has zero substance. If you think that the sub-second query plans that Postgres currently generates for ad-hoc workloads are adequate, I wish you luck. I personally think there are lots of missing heuristics that an ML approach could pick up, either in the general case, or over time in a specific database.
The fact that a clear line doesn't exist is used too many times as an excuse to continue doing what is obviously wrong. Logically, you could take it the other way to the extreme and say that since there is no clear line, then there isn't an obvious reason not to raise certain humans for their meat either.

The fact that life is not black and white but a lot of grey levels does not imply that there is no such thing as black or white. If one's moral compass and integrity are still intact, then even knowing the constraints, one would usually try to make the grey a little brighter.

I agree! However, that takes real work & prioritization (time) rather than electricity/technology.

Also (meme-ing a bit here): why not both? :)

In reality, it's always a mistake to let the nonexistent perfect be the enemy of the good (or to be most pessimistic: the not-as-bad).

I appreciate the level of effort in documenting all this. Whenever I think about stuff or experiences the first question is always: 'how much in USD?' and my next question is 'how do I make it cheaper?'

Actually, the base model Corvette does come with some very mediocre tires. I’ve heard that’s done because owners will end up replacing them with the cheapest option at their local tire dealer, and this way there’s not much of a performance downgrade.
How can you both agree that a clear line doesn't exist, while in the same sentence saying "obviously wrong"? If you mean obvious to your specific sensibilities that's fine; but if you mean global consensus or objectively, then that's self-contradictory.

Plenty of people genuinely don't care about the treatment of food animals, or even of humans outside their perceived tribe. It's just as "obvious" and consistent within those entire groups that there's no concern there. "Moral compass and integrity" are less about intact or unintact, and more about "similar to mine".

This is why pure moral arguments don't change anything, because people don't share morals. Now, some do have broader subscription, like not murdering people, and there you can defer to the shared moral. But others (like animal rights) are observably divided, so rallying on violation of local moralisms has no meaning to those outside that moral locality. It's exactly the same as religions yelling at non-adherents for acting in violation to the religion's tenets.
A legendary engineer educated me about NS10s. With a great amp and a sub, they sound fantastic - especially when listening at low volume. As in... lower than the volume of a normal conversation.
Kinda wish someone would package up capabilities like these as nicely as the SQL Server Profiler and Index Tuning Wizard. But even so, real fixes almost always lie a level above - you can write semantically identical SQL (just like any other language) that has wildly different performance characteristics. That's annoying for a supposedly declarative language. And nothing will save you if you have just messed up your schema - something that tells you do denormalise stuff to get it on the same page of data because of such and such a query load would also help.

I'm interested in how you think they could best be applied. I know I've pushed the point that it uses the genetic algorithm higher to ensure I got better plans for larger join lists before. But what ways could we use ML to generate optimal plans for different query parameters? An optimal plan for one set of parameters could be totally non optimal for another set. How could we handle that? I'd actually love to see this type of discussion happening on the mailing list.
My daughter was reading at ~18 months. Or something like reading. You be the judge: My wife took 3x5 cards and wrote words like "BUCKET" on them and put the card next to the bucket in the kitchen. All over the house on things. Then she'd go around with her and point out "Look at the bucket! That card says bucket. Look at the chair! That card says chair." Etc. Then she'd gather up the cards and put them on the floor face up in a grid and say "Now go find me bucket!" And she would find the card. Soon after that she was pronouncing words on billboards on her own. From there she started to pick out and read books from the library. It was awesome but of course it relied heavily on my wife's patience every day to do this.
It does. The U.S. Government put money into Iridium and bought half the airtime. Iridium was about to go bankrupt and de-orbit the satellites. That paid off very well when many US agencies had to operate in the sandbox.
If only there were some kind of governmental office of intelligence or something, that could maintain security of our government's communications. Well, I can dream, can't I.
Doesn't that require another set of cell towers?

Hi Drallison, I am the co-creator. This is my biased description...
My 14 year old son said that he was surprised to learn how fast 30 mins goes by when using DnsLearning. Encouraging children to come up for air every 30 mins is a good thing. My 9 year old daughter went to Khan Academy 7 times one day during the summer. This means she was watching a lot of youtube videos. I told her I was impressed how many times she went to Khan Academy. She responded. "Yea, well I got tired of doing Khan Academy so I decided to clean my room instead." So, for those 2 cases, for my 2 children, it has been effective :)
Can confirm Fira Code works fine, although the update has broken the interface a little bit, at least for me.
TBH, I'm not sure what you're trying to say, here.

The parent's statement was simple: they don't care about the "barbarism" of eating meat. I think it's taken as a given that they therefore don't much care about what animals experience as the consequence of their actions.

So I'm not sure how your comment is relevant or what you meant to achieve by making it.

Could you clarify?
Oh Kuro5hin. I miss blixco.
It'd be a little funny if it was multiple nation-state actors breaking each others' malware inadvertently.
Let me decide the amount of time, then. If I can cut and paste a bunch of queries together to make them faster than the current planner, I'd be happy to let the query planner run for tens of minutes.

Every time I had these issues with corrupt Time Machine backups the destination drive had bad blocks. If you have the right drive/interface combination you can use an application called SMART Utility by Volitans to check on that. Time Capsule drives need to be put in compatible enclosures.

True, but the NSA did accidentally brick the Syrian border routers.
Same on Desktop tbh, loads way slower than my scrolling!
I opened the App Store just now to see if a few lack-of-polish bugs were present. The screen flickered a couple times and then was nothing but white and a loading spinner. Waited 30 seconds, never went away.

Force quit, reopen, loads fine.

Go to the Today tab. Scroll through. Notice that sometimes your scroll doesn't get registered. Why? Because if you try to scroll over an "Open" or "Get" button, it steals the event and breaks your scrolling. Amature mistake, and the kind of detail Apple used to always get right.

Watch OS SDK: When the user performs an action on a notification that arrives on the watch, it calls a callback on the application on the phone. What happens if the user's phone is not reachable? The action just gets dropped on the floor, and to the user the app looks buggy. (Maybe/hopefully this is fixed in the latest version of watchOS; I haven't checked.) Flawed, poorly thought out API design.

Go to the updates tab on the App Store app. Pull down to refresh. No updates, but the "Available" headline disappears and then weirdly reveal-animates back into place, an overall feeling of flicker.

Huge issues? No, but a very real drop-off in quality and polish from what Apple used to put out.

(The password bug is a little different -- obviously bugs can and do happen. But not having a testing procedure in place for the core paths through a piece of software is a huge process failure, especially for something critical like security. Every release of the software should have testers going through a plan like, "enter password hint. attempt to access volume. verify password hint is correctly shown." &c.)

(Also, to be fair, I think after taking a huge dive the quality of Apple software seems to be slowly ticking up again.)
Buy Beenz!
If I recall correctly, didn't it come out that the NSA managed to accidentally brick the core router handling internet for the whole of of Syria when trying to hack it?
> they were a bit tiring to listen to for long hours. There were harsh especially in the upper mid-range, and brittle in the high end. But, you could hear everything in the mix pretty accurately

The exact same would apply to Grado headphones. Pretty terrible to use long-term, but act like magnifiers for flaws in the mixing process.

I had an interesting experience using my Grados to play Ratchet & Clank on the Playstation. They made it easy to distinguish small details in the tornado of sounds during the big battles, enabling me to literally "play by ear", but in a good way.

But yes, tiring.

I like the planar magnetic cans a lot more.
"They function as a labor-saving device for high-trafficked items and a way to sell during off-hours."

Seemed to be Bodega's plan also.

If they want to go after a particular market, so be it. I'd rather it be a new business than a venture by a corporate giant. That opportunity has been available to every mom-and-pop store too, right? Even if it was just one vending machine in one nearby apartment building?

I can appreciate the romance of corner stores, but if they're not innovating or marketing, they risk losing out to others who are.
yes, in the early days of agile processes the term "brain engaged" came up a lot when it comes to practices. You have to understand the purpose of things.

overworking is not agile, one of the 12 principles "Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely. "

but what you are saying is the common case of "let's do agile so we can get the software we want when we want".

and then, commonly, that is "a scrum like planning process" and buzz words like CI and tests.... but it's just not agile. It's why you feel like you have no power, it's agile practices used in non agile ways.

From my experience, ~90% of time is spent on technical excellence, 10% is the broader process, and the broader process get's tweaked regularly to adapt to changing circumstance
For starter, documentation: you can't even understand what pdfium IS from that page. After some search I see that it can do rasterization, from pdf to e.g. png, but I couldn't find any mention of it being capable to generate the pdf from an url. Can it?
Use a cloud database:

I care about the total amount of time until I get to do real work with the data returned. Subsecond query plans for ad-hoc workloads are pointless for me if I then wait 10 hours for results.

Here's a concrete example: a view with a GROUP BY. Give it a concrete ID to filter by, and it will push it down to the underlying table and return quick results. I can then script a loop to do this to get the full dataset for a list of IDs. However, if I supply a `WHERE id IN (...)` or a JOIN, the query plan will be totally different and will take forever. This is dumb, and this is with up-to-date statistics etc. I'm happy to accept I'm probably not the target market, but just having the option to leave the query planner running for minutes instead of milliseconds would be great (if it indeed has work to _do_ in those minutes).
"I'd recommend diving into his works"

I was intrigued by a Moldbug comment (i.e., conveyed by MM himself) on a high-quality politics blog about a decade ago, and followed it up with extensive reading of his site.

Contrary to the comment above, I would recommend NOT diving into Moldbug's works. It really is reactionary bullshit, obliquely conveyed, which piques interest ("just what does he mean by this..."). The intrigue is all in the showmanship - which is considerable, I'll admit.

It is simply a waste of time. I say this as someone who reads a lot, a subscriber to NYRB (where OP was published), and has a lot of patience with unraveling complex ideas, blah, blah, blah. It is valuable time that you won't get back.

A lot of folks talk about byte addressability as if it's going to be some massive advantage. It's not, simply for the reason that it's inefficient to store byte-level addresses for everything.

(And of course, you're really only getting cache-line atomicity at the hardware layer. Ignoring this fact, and just using arbitrary byte boundaries for accesses, will kill a lot of perf gain of NVMs.)
How to Rotate / Mirror Photos with Python
I disagree with his "charisma is bullshit" thesis. All skills have extreme outliers. There was the fastest sprinter in your high school, and then there is Usain Bolt. Similarly, there was the most charismatic guy you've ever worked with, and then there is Steve Jobs.

Re: management and leadership philosophies? I agree; complete bullshit. There is no perfect management philosophy. If there were, it would be a science and everybody would follow it.

I do like a good "how to manage" book though. The point of management books (or any self-improvement books for that matter) is to let you swim in the subject matter for a while, and think about how you would have handled past experiences better. And also to show you that it is possible to get better at things, and worth it to try.
Once you have sufficiently advanced technology, unless you also have some kind of totalitarianism, it only takes a few groups of people who disagree about the allocation of resources (or, really, anything else) in this star system and want to leave. And then the same thing happens recursively in whatever star systems they go to, and you have exponential growth until it saturates to cubic or whatever.

Yes, of course, they will be AIs or uploads or body printers. Even for an advanced civilization, shipping bags of meat to other star systems would be wasteful. That doesn't mean they won't want to use resources, or that there would be no evidence of them if they were already here.

edit: There's certainly scenarios in which the first species to explore a galaxy doesn't literally prevent other species from evolving. But that doesn't mean they wouldn't be obviously detectable. The likely number of starfaring species in the galaxy given our observations is zero.
It is confusing enough with Postgres-XC and Postgres-XL to have a PostgreSQL X.
There have been high quality loudspeakers available since at least the 60's, and arguably since before then. For example the quad electrostatic from 1957 or there abouts, a selection of which far exceeds the quality of apple earbuds or similar. Or Grado SR60's from 1992 or Stax SR1 headphones from 1960. Or Hartley loudspeakers evolved from an idea originating in the 1940's.

My brothers studio, where music for UK film and TV music was made, had NS10's as near fields. They sounded atrocious, I mean really bad. Leaving aside their electromechanical benefits, which are pretty well covered in the article, the accepted notion was that if you could make sounds sound ok with them with all their colourisation, then you'd get a fair result on televisions, radios and so on. In fact thinking about it, if you wanted music to sound good on Beats, then they'd still make a good reference choice.

Their listenability was pretty well irrelevant.
