> Poor rendering. Just use a good email editor, such beefree.io or others. Not a issue at all.

You want me to use an "email editor" that I had never even heard of before, and yet you claim that the reasons supporting text email are pretty wrong?
It's hard to tell for sure from the blurred out image that the blog post contains, but the "designed" email doesn't appear to have actually made any effort at actual design.
It's simply plain text wrapped in boxes with no images other than a logo sloppily dumped on top.

I'd be curious to see a real comparison between emails that had actually had some effort put into design and plain emails.
It's just yet one more form of discrimination based on one (or more) stereotypes.
> In fact, 29% of our survey respondents say the average employee age at their company is between 31 and 35. Millennials, yes—albeit at the older end of that demographic. A further 17% say that their company’s average is between 20 and 30.

> By contrast, 3 in 10 (27%) respondents say that the average age of employees at their company is 36-40 years old, making them members of the younger end of Generation X. The over 40s (Gen X and Boomers alike) have to share the remaining 26%.

That's 56% of tech employees between 31 and 40. Xennials FTW!

You know, it's not even about you.

If there were an epidemic of men in public spaces bullying other, smaller men, I'd be saying the same thing in a different context.

People who look like you, if there's a lot of them being assholes to some outgroup, call them out. That's the general rule. Make the world nicer by reinforcing niceness where others can't.

Right now it's women and the #metoo stuff.

Tomorrow we can go back to talk about race.

And on and on and on.
It amazes me how quickly our industry has forgotten the need for DBAs. With these MongoDBs, MPP cloud dbs and Hadoops, everyone seems to have assumed that engineers can now do all db work. This is reflected in the titles too: Data "Engineer".

But from my perspective, this is delusional. There is a lot that goes into DBA's experience that is not solved by the performance improvements in databases over the past decade. But there are more choices. 20-30 years ago, you would have been forced to write code on Oracle and you would have asked for help before deciding how to structure the data. Today, with more choices, you just read some online opinions, and jump on it without any internal resource to guide you.

Not saying the world of Oracle was great, but the young on this thread (me included) would benefit from respecting the experience of the old.

...impact an constitution has which only imposes limitations on the government, versus one that only imparts positive rights onto humans?"

I think first you might be misunderstanding positive and negative rights. Positive rights are rights that are asserted onto others. Negative rights are rights an individual has that others may not violate. The principles of the enlightenment and individualist freedom and liberty require negative rights as part of natural law, such as what John Locke called the first right, the right to self defense.

So, the importance of a system of government that primarily Madison, but others as well, took a great deal of time to research by combing through the history of government so as to "form a more perfect union." is that they realized that assertion of positive rights is often in opposition to negative rights, and that for a truly free and open society it would need to be based on negative rights. Of course implementation was not and is not perfect, but they were trying to design a system that would get better over time by encouraging freedom and liberty.

In essence, America is the only country truly founded on the principles of the enlightenment and individual liberty and natural rights. This is why the British fought so hard to continually undermine us even after the revolution. Liberty is a threat to monarchy, tyranny, despotism and oligarchism around the world because it inspires people and solves problems.

I'm guessing the German constitution was designed by the Allies post-WW2 primarily as a way to control the country via complex bureaucratic layers that ignore these principles. Once someone asserts positives rights over anothers negative rights it becomes so completely subjective that it is an easily corrupted process, at least in theory thats how I would see it play out, but I don't know much about German law (even though I have visited). So, you tell me, how corrupted is the German constitution and/or law?

The trick in America is lawyers figured out ways to whittle things down via bad precedent, and due to corruption of all three branches, the media and education system has been training the populace to forget the fact that the government can not and does not grant any rights. Rights must exist outside of government, and the government is formed to protect those rights and for very little purpose other than that. That is why America is floundering currently. By sacrificing it's principles for a super-hardcore realpolitik it has undermined it's own bedrock foundation.

Raw C++ is unsuitable as a build language, so you'll have to layer a DSL on top of it. Either way you're learning a new language.

As to "why learn all the quirks of CMake," the selling points of CMake are its widespread availability, maturity, and coverage. For example, just on the packaging side, it knows how to create tarballs, .debs, .rpms, Windows .msi files, multiple flavors of Mac installers...

Less mature build tools require you to implement this stuff manually. CMake mostly handles it for you (and has the scars to prove it).
…but (barring a sufficiently advanced compiler) that also means the JITted code can’t use data structures that are wildly different from those used in the interpreter. For example, if integers are boxed in the interpreter, the JITted code would use boxed integers, too.

Why is that fact relevant? Care to elaborate?
Personally, I am skeptical of studies that count tax breaks as subsidies. If the company's BATNA is to go to a lower tax state, surely one cannot count the entire break as a subsidy, as opposed to a necessary cost to retain the company's presence. But, yes, in principle I agree that Boeing is subsidized to some degree or another.
I love the idea of not having to replace my shifting cables/ adjusting them every few months however, the price is a huge deal for me. I ride my bike to work every day and while i did shell out 200$ for a new 105 crankset, I don't want to have to pay too much more than that for lights/shifting. Maybe a di2 version of the lower market shimano group sets would make that more feasible as a cyclist who doesn't mind occasional maintenance

I do not mind having Bitcoin keep going up. But as a business owner that relies heavily on cryptocurrencies, I would really love it if things were more stable. We are building a business on privacy, anonymity, and cryptocurrency as a backbone. We're extrajurisdictional, so banking to USD or other fiat is very tricky. Tether is a great idea, but the current company looks very unstable. If there's a crash, they seem unlikely to be solvent.

Our company would pay a premium to get into a solid, pegged-to-USD coin. At least 5% if not more. Or even a coin that's pegged to an ETF. Of course we cannot satisfy KYC laws so it'd need to be a freely traded token, really.

I really hate the "hodlrs" and the complete lack of focus on how this is supposed to work for real businesses that use it as a means to an end, and not an end by itself.

I see this a lot talking about the 2x chain. People sometimes discuss it in terms of what's better for the BTC price. Why is that a goal at all? Other than the obvious reason of making current users richer?

I just learned last week. I found the word bitcoin next a last modified date of 2011 in my backups while looking for something else.

My heart kind of started racing as I looked through it. The backup was of a mining program I was using, and it had the address that I was mining to. Looked up the address, it has 13.3 BTC in it!

I started unpacking the whole archive to find the wallet, only to learn that I didn't backup the wallet.dat. I don't know why I didn't, probably some combination of it being worth like $30 at the time + not knowing exactly where the private key was stored.

But it brings the total amount of bitcoin i've lost over the years up to 23.3...
"When I google "religion", I get: "the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.""

Modern atheists came up with that definition. The fact is that opposites are of the same nature. Theism and its opposite, atheism, are both belief systems. Neither of them is scientific. At least, not yet.

If you grow and you hit hardware limits then congratulations you are the next facebook/google/etc. Also there's nothing stopping you from switching your current database to something else.

Absolutely majority of the companies will do just fine, because the hardware improves faster than their demands. Starting out with a distributed system "because one day we might need it" is just silly, because chances are you'll never hit it, and you'll have to pay for the overhead of having a distributed system (which is non trivial).

Actually my company started using PG and had presentation and someone asked if we considered a distributed database so we can scale. The presenter nicely said it was evaluated and this solution worked best, but that was too nice.

1. It's only about 100GB of data

2. The hardware is barely utilized, we didn't tune it (except some standard memory settings), because there's no need yet.

3. Our data is relational (in fact most data from most companies is relational)

Mostly, that not every instance has the same policy.

You can always join a place where the credo is "we connect with everybody", while people who want a very filtered experience can join places that are a lot more nonchalant about blocking other instances. A lot of people probably do (and want to be in a place that does) something in the middle.

You could even have multiple accounts on different instances that you use in different contexts. Most mobile clients support this more or less well, though the default web UI does not.
The title is a bit misleading but that is sort of par for the course. Blue Origin did the first "hot fire" test of the BE-4.

What that means is that everything on the engine was turned on and the fuel ignited. This is the one of the final steps in engine development where you run it for a short period, collect data about as much stuff as possible, try to predict trends from that data to insure that the motor wasn't destroying itself. That sets up the next hot fire test which, I've read, are between 2 and 10x longer. Then you get durability tests (you run it at a variety of external temperatures, and conditions) and longevity tests (you run it for the entire mission life) then you take it completely apart and retest the metallurgy on bits that got hot (to insure they didn't get changed into something that would be out of spec for the engine) and check for erosion in the combustion chamber etc etc. Its a long and detailed process to go from a rocket engine 'design' to a rocket engine 'data sheet'.

It is a very large engine. With 50% more thrust than the SpaceX Raptor. Historically, engine thrust has been significant because the overall "efficiency" of rockets has been the fraction of the overall mass of the complete rocket they can get into orbit (or where ever they are going). So for a given engine what is important is what does the engine and its components weigh, versus the thrust it delivers. According to NASA this was the reasoning behind the F1 engines in the Saturn V, they had only 5 engines but they were huge, which gave them the thrust they needed but only 5 turbo pumps, 5 sets of propellant valves, 5 nozzles, etc.

It is also less complex to operate fewer engines.

On the flip side an engine out is a bigger loss of capability (and one of the advantages touted by the F9's 9 engines, the ability to achieve orbit with one engine out). And if you're re-landing these things, the ability to finely tune the throttle is very challenging on a larger engine. Look at the F9 which lands with exactly 1 engine firing. It has been reported that the landing weight of the F9 booster stage is such that even at its lowest throttle setting the booster would accelerate if the engine was left on. That means no 'hover' ability, just trying to intercept the ground before the rocket starts going up again :-).

Blue Origin still 'feels' about 3 years behind SpaceX though, and I continue to think the challenge here will be whether or not Falcon Heavy is successful in its first flights. SpaceX has the booster recovery aspects working smoothly, and Heavy has enough extra capacity to lift all the 'common' payloads, so it could monopolize a lot of the launches (and money that goes with them). That will make it much more difficult for New Shepard, because there will be little if any margin of error, and unlike SpaceX which can now lower prices given their understanding of recoverability, New Shepard will need to be able to compete from the first flight forward.

I'm glad to see parent comment back from [dead], because I have also noticed it. That's why I mentioned that particular account in the first place. You can search in this very thread to see (as of now) 27 posts by that account, one admitting to robot-assisted vigilantism against certain types of users--namely racists, misogynists, and homophobes. One of the other matches mentions that he can occasionally be quite mean.

I can recall at least one instance where he replied to me directly, and I wanted to engage, but couldn't, because I was "posting too fast".

It's the network neutrality issue writ small. Some people have fast lanes on this site, and others have slow lanes. I don't like it here, and it annoys me when I notice it. If it becomes the status quo for the whole network, you can be sure that I will be engaging in "shovel vigilantism" in the dark of some nights. Freedoms of speech and publication are no longer supportive of liberty and equality when certain favored people are allocated 10000 times as much speech as most other people are usually allowed, and drown out all other voices with their sheer volume rather than the merit of their claims.

I have no idea if it's a solvable problem but this is a ridiculous issue with bitcoin when you think of it as a serious currency: not only that its supply is artificially limited, a large number of early coins are either in possession of its owner (who we are not even sure will ever show up) or are lost in accidents like these.
FWIW, the need to bootstrap a cross-compiler from source is not inherent to cross-compilers; it's possible to implement a compiler in such a way that every version of the compiler is automatically a cross-compiler.

I remember a few years back when I was trying to play with MINIX. Tanenbaum got several million EUR and hired some grad students to work on the thing. They promptly replaced much of the system with NetBSD. ("Perhaps too much", you can hear Tanenbaum say in one of his talks.) As a result of this the system compiler ACK was switched out for LLVM/clang. I complained on the mailing list about this because a full system build from source is something that used to be doable in <10 minutes—something Tanenbaum used to boast about—and it was now taking 3 hours if you decided to blow away your source/build directory and do a from-scratch build. The worst part is that the MINIX core, i.e., all the interesting parts, still only accounted for ~10 minutes of that build time, and virtually all the rest was spent compiling and then recompiling LLVM. The response I got from one of the aforementioned grad students was that this is "just how cross-compilers work". No, pal; that's how the compiler that you chose works.

Later, the Go folks fixed their compiler to be a cross-compiler by default. See https://dave.cheney.net/2015/03/03/cross-compilation-just-go...

IMO, it's unforgivable that any given mainstream toolset wouldn't make this a baseline project goal.
The prosecutor's job is to represent the best interests of the state, not to get the most and harshest possible convictions.

"Sales of coconut water have skyrocketed in the past two years, and anecdotally, several fitness buffs interviewed by Marketplace said they believe it hydrates better than tap water."

That's... that's a tall bar. "Provides more electrolytes" than water, sure. "More energizing than water", sure. But hydrates better than water? Though a charitable reading of the fitness buff's claim could be that it's "better for someone working out than water", which, again, is at least possible as there are more dimensions than just "hydration" there.

Still, the settings that let them pass these tests are not defaults.

And the reason for them being non-defaults is that it will drastically reduce performance.

> everyone would be much better off emotionally if he just took his medication

You say that as if the schizophrenic person, someone who lives in an alternate reality due to psychosis, has any kind of agency over taking his medication. You can only make that choice when you're sane, and even then the drugs aren't perfect and people routinely decide to come off them for some psychotic reason - yes, you can become psychotic while on anti-psychotics - and failing that they come off them because they're so ashamed of being mentally ill from all those condescending and "well-meaning" (read: superior) people telling them what to do and how defective they are all the time that they want to prove they can handle it. Plus there's the issue that the alternate reality is way more interesting than this one.

Your suggestion that it's somehow Terry's fault is about as helpful as telling a homeless person - who is much more likely to have a psychotic illness by the way - to "just get a job".
