I think they'd get pushback on that from users running legacy DOS/Win3.x/Win9x stuff in VMs. Most of those aren't so performance-critical that they really need to run as VT-x guests, but Intel has had multiple run-ins with the perils of "buy our new chip because it will make your applications... uh... slower".

Except all (positive) outcomes are opportunities in another context. It's a continuous process.

The most obvious place to see this is looking at parents' economic outcomes versus their kids' development opportunities, but it doesn't even have to be generational.

If you have a sack of money (outcome), you automatically have many more options (opportunity) for creating a larger stack of money. Imagine a fair and random gambling game: Insolvent players are removed from the game, so the player with the deepest pockets at the beginning has the best opportunity of winning everything.
Thanks! We haven't tested it at scale, but this is where we would ideally want it to be at v1. If you would like to take it for a spin, would appreciate any feedback on scaling limits.

Literally every time I've let my phone update the Android version, something changed to my detriment - missing feature, not being able to do something a certain way anymore, etc. with the only benefit being the ability to run apps that only target the new version. App updates are often no better.
Yes, a month is 30 days. 1000/30 is slightly more than $33 per day for two people. Your lunch coffee at starbucks habit is $5 per person per day. So with that or with "i grabbed an apple" or "I got a granola bar" habit that you or your wife has you are at $26 per person per day for breakfast/lunch/dinner for two people, which is $13 per person per day for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I seem to remember people arguing with me that $10 per person per dinner is the lowest that they pay per person ( see Blue Apron/Home Chef/Plated/etc business models) So based on their math it is $20 for two people per dinner. Now I personally think it is too much because I automatically only shop sales but I'm weird.

Event-driven microservices – scaling(reconstructing) query/read models
There is big hit with CQRS and microservices with local database instances. While I understand and agree on all those things I still wasn't able to find any kind of paper explaining how you do all these things in cluster.

Imagine I have 10 service instances service requests for 1 months, they have complete Query models up-to-data as they were consuming all events from begining. Now, under heavy load I am deploying 5 new instances, but their databases are empty. How do I reconstruct all Query models in these databases automatically?

We can agree that I have event store with snapshot capabilities for speed-up.

Thanks for any production ready experience.

The problem I have with just an “ordered pair” pedagogy is that it confuses (in students’ minds) the concepts of Euclidean point, displacement vector between points, and “complex number” (which I think of in most contexts as a similarity transformation of Euclidean vectors).

In an arbitrary Euclidean vector space, the coordinates chosen are somewhat arbitrary, except for being typically orthogonal and of the same length (a sometimes arbitrary chosen or sometimes meaningful “unit”). But similarity transformations are in some sense “unitless” (insofar as they don’t involve meters or inches or whatever, because they are quotients of vectors and the units cancel): the value 1 is very meaningful and not arbitrary at all (it represents the identity transformation), the value –1 represents a reflection of vectors through the origin, the value i is a unit bivector (in this case representing a specific quarter-turn rotation), and all values of unit magnitude (e.g. √3/2 + i/2) represent pure rotations.

To teach someone who has done some analytic geometry in Cartesian style (which is itself sort of jumbled conceptually, because students are taught that the grid is the plane instead of being an arbitrary coordinate system laid down over the plane), explaining this takes quite a bit of nuance and clarity on the part of the instructor. And even many mathematicians and technical professionals elide these distinct concepts all the time. For example, they represent points (e.g. points on plane curves), vectors, and transformations all as complex numbers. Or they represent points as “position vectors” without always making it obvious that the point per se also involves adding the displacement to an arbitrarily chosen origin.
Your question is unproductive and does not help answer the question posed

We used to call ourselves programmers. Then it became sexy to say developer. Now it is engineer. (Since you pointed out, it means something different to everyone, so its meaningless).

The future will be a new snazzy term. Same job, different title.

Software development is not engineering.
> OpenFirmware was a much more elegant technology sitting around for the lifetime of modern x86 but intel had to be different.

Let's rather look at the reasing of the UEFI developers why they have a different opinion on Open Firmware (page 5 of http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/A_Tale_of_...):

"Another effort that is similar in its role to the PC/AT BIOS-based platform occurred with Open
Firmware (OF) [4] and the Common Hardware Reference Platform (CHRP). CHRP was a set of
common platform designs and hardware specifications meant to allow for interoperable designs
among PowerPC (PowerPC) platform builders. Open Firmware, also known as IEEE-1275 [4],
has issues in that it is an interpreted, stack-based byte-code. Very few programmers are facile
in Forth programming, and it is renowned as being “write-once/understand-never”, and having
poor performance, and non-standard tools. Also, Open Firmware has a device tree essentially
duplicating ACPI static tables. As such, the lack of Forth programmers, prevalence of ACPI,
and the fact that UEFI uses standard tools and works alongside ACPI — versus instead-of — helped spell Open Firmware’s lack of growth. In fact, it is used on SPARC and PowerPC, but it
is unsuitable for high-volume machines and thus prevent it from making the leap from niche
server & workstation markets."
This is a big step forward for free software and another great reason why open source is better than closed.
Electrolysis development started in 2009. It was enabled by default in Developer Edition starting with Firefox 42 (2015/08/11) and opt-in before that.

Nobody knew in August 2015 that Mozilla would delay the Electrolysis rollout, allow incompatible extensions would continue working into 2017, pick an arbitrary date to drop XUL extensions instead of tying it to WebExtensions milestones, drop the Add-on SDK at the same time, and not really support gradual porting.

> I don't buy the narrative that Kaspersky is some evil Russian cyber hoover

I don't know about this particular story, but Kaspersky is certainly has strong ties with FSB, FSO and other official structures. I don't mean that it's their main business model — developing anti-virus software pays well enough not to be some cover story — but they're definitely _friendly_ on a deep personal level. Kaspersky himself was educated in KGB school, worked in government structures and has a lot of connections (which he used, for example, with that shady story when his son was kidnapped).

Usually, in Moscow, there is a strong correlation between being a highly educated, well-paid IT professional and having a negative opinion about current Russian regime; but judging from my second-hand stories from friends and colleagues, guys at Kaspersky tend to be very patriotic and pro-government. So, while I don't think that Kaspersky lab was founded deliberately like some sort of cover. But they're the kind of people who would definitely help FSB with whatever they ask — not because of some secret court order, but happily, thinking that they are serving their country and doing a good thing.
Orcas seem to have fairly specialised diets -- there's different subspecies, each of which eats something different.

https://seaworld.org/animal-info/animal-infobooks/killer-wha...

>Type A whales eat mostly Antarctic minke whales and have also been observed hunting southern elephant seals.

>Large type B whales eat mainly seals, especially Weddell seals, and also hunt minke whales.

>Small type B killer whales have been observed hunting penguins and are believed to mainly eat fishes.

>Type C killer whales mostly eat Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni).

>Little is known about the diet of type D killer whales, however, they have been observed preying on Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) caught on longlines.

So if type C whales don't eat seals and type B whales don't eat fish, it's not surprising that no whale type likes to eat humans -- they're apparently just picky eaters.

Very thought-provoking article. Loved it. I think there are a couple of positive side effects to our functional programming fascination in preparation for a more parallel future (that may come much later than we thought).

1) Emerging languages tend to be safer, statically typed, and although not functional, they generously borrow from their functional siblings.

2) They tend to have more focus on performance. We didn't go from Python/Ruby to an even higher level and slower family of languages.
While I definitely see where you’re coming from, I certainly prefer building for better peformance as opposed to supporting everything forever. Analogous to Windows, supporting all the old things gave them a strong edge in their business, but they also paid a very hefty price on it (performance issues, security loopholes, BSODs to name a few).
Their positions are not mutually exclusive because their contexts/problems they are solving are different. So they are not saying A and !A. They are saying A and B
Your description of your career sounds very different from my career in software development - I don't touch the web, things are methodical, I spend most of my time communicating instead of coding, etc. Why don't you explore other specialties of your current career first?
1) efficient implementation of data source for virtualized on top of relational (or otherwise not directly addressable) grid involves having some knowledge of how the data looks in order to be able to get only the relevant part of data by using indices ant not by geting rows 1000-1100 by selecting first 1100 and then throwing first 1000 out (which is how LIMIT 100 OFFSET 1000 is implemented by essentially all SQL databases)

2) when presenting results of user supplied SQL in this way you have to rewrite it somehow, which means that database ends up running different query than what the user entered, which is counterintuitive behavior and there certainly are cases where it is not desirable at all.
That's pretty revisionist considering that OF predates ACPI. Just like all other stories of path dependence, Intel backed themselves into a corner and now they're stuck there forever.
>What I am thinkin about is career change to medicine.

If your true passion is health care, all the prelude about programmers becoming blue-collar or how they look awkward is irrelevant and just muddles the decision process.

If you want to use forums for feedback on your question, go to the pre-med and medical school forums. Also ask working doctors if they're happy with their career decision. Is their motivation and disposition similar to yours? Is filling out endless insurance paperwork for reimbursements overwhelming their desire to practice medicine? Is private practice or hospital staff better? Etc. etc.
I'd value a resource with a simple explanation of the changes that prevent a compatibility layer from enabling all the old plugins?
You are comparing web development to medicine which doesn't make much sense. A more apt comparison would be web development to nursing, as the barrier to entry is relatively low compared to other sub fields in the encapsulating industry (say, AI researcher and doctor).

Temporal dithering. Also called FRC - frame rate control.

I saw a good documentary on grizzly bears catching salmon. While the younger, less successful bears will eat any salmon they can catch, the older and more experienced bears can catch so many salmon that they'll just slit them open, eat the roe, and throw the rest of the salmon away, so that they're getting maximum calories per unit of volume in their stomach.
I did a bit of digging in the repository. And I didn't like what I found.

First off, this project seems to be based on:

https://github.com/compose/transporter

But of course every mention of transporter or compose.io was removed from repository, including original BSD-3 license. Which is clearly a violation of BSD-3 license terms.

Guys, this is not how open source works. You shouldn't try to claim all the credit when your work is clearly a derivative of another work.

And this isn't even the worst thing about the project. While it claims to be an open-source software, almost all of its functionality has been removed from the source code.

Thus as an open source software it's completely useless. If you build it from source it probably does nothing, because syncing code is closed source.

Yeah, I know you can download pre-built executable. But I won't ever be running some closed-source freeware/commercial software in production.

No, thank you very much. Especially if aforementioned software was written by someone who completely lacks any notion of ethics.

1. and 2. It syncs deltas if you are either using Postgres (9.4 or above) or MongoDB. For other sources like MySQL or MSSQL, it needs to import the whole table each time. The tailing capability is DB dependent, for instance, in MongoDB's case - we use the oplog to do this.

The way it works is after the initial import if you are using the `--tail` option, it listens to further changes via oplog. More on setting oplog access over here -
https://github.com/appbaseio/abc/blob/dev/docs/importer/adap...

For Postgres, similarly a replication role and a replication slot needs to be created for decoding the write ahead log. More on that here - https://github.com/appbaseio/abc/blob/dev/docs/importer/adap....

This seems like a good primer on replication slots - https://postgresqlspace.wordpress.com/2015/06/18/replication....

That is almost entirely FUD, every Mac before the intel switch had OpenFirmware. FCode was elegant in that it is cross platform, and the option ROMs can work across multiple uarchs. The only valid point is that Forth is obscure. I don't know how much that matters in reality due to how obscure working at that level is itself, as an OS dev you're working on the device tree and runtime services in a language like C. But I will grant benefit of the doubt since I'm an OS dev and not an option ROM dev.. and say, well, Petitboot is the logical endgame as the industry has made Linux uber alles and you're going to be writing drivers for it anyway.
