Bit late, but it's probably easier to use just sassc (the standard SCSS compiler from the libsass project) rather than node-sass if you don't need node otherwise (for webpack or whatever) in your build pipeline. Node-sass as a native linked requires gyp, hence python, node, and a couple npm packages which add to your footprint considerably.
Having spent some time working on build tools at my current company, I agree with some of those, and have repeated some others. That's pretty deliberate though, software is designed to meet a set of needs and for ours assumptions like "we never need to build on Windows" are fine. Making assumptions (some of which the author surprisingly doesn't capture well, like "file timestamps are monotonically increasing") which ultimately lead to incorrect builds are much less acceptable though.

Drilling down below state level is complicated by the fact that mailing address does not map directly to the proper taxation entity. Usually, yes, but the actual atomic entity is lot/parcel. I had to deal with this when cooking voter data; political districts likewise drill down to lot/parcel. I had hundreds of cases where Los Gatos and Saratoga addresses get crossed, and even the Santa Clara / Santa Cruz county border region he had mailing address mismatches with actual county of residence.

Iterating through keys is not trivial in Riak, you need a 2i to have that. If you have the manpower to maintain your solution and there are people with performance engineering skill it is probably good. Riak has very predictable performance and it is easy to tune and rock solid system this is why it is used in several healthcare systems and for the game that has the largest player base at the moment as well. The consistent hashing layer on the top of LevelDB which is essentially the foundation of RocksDB makes it super nice system. Anyways, I hope Keevo will be available for us as well.

I don’t know why I’m arguing in circles here.

In many of those countries the healthcare is completely tax funded. You don’t have to ask people what they pay for healthcare, it’s known from the tax budget.

So these aren’t somehow made up numbers. We know exactly how much money the Swedish government uses to provide healthcare for each Swede.
It’s ALL tax money.

So we can compare that number to what an average American pays for healthcare. And when doing that we have a fair comparison of the cost of healthcare.

Tax burden etc does NOT change this comparison. It’s exactly what this comparison IS. One persons TAXES vs another persons insurance policy + out of pocket expenses for healthcare.

Please don’t reply now with “but taxes are higher so it just looks cheaper!” - if it didn’t sink in now there is nothing more I can do to explain it.

Building a mechanical system isn't the same thing as writing an algorithm. You can determine ahead of time r and p for all uses, and m has a pretty manageable upper bound too. Asymptotic considerations are not always relevant. They do have real utility in academic work, where a designer of a proof of concept ought to show that the applicable cases of his idea are workable. But that's not really the situation here.

More importantly, maximum velocity is not likely to be a strong function of mass, which is relevant only to acceleration and friction. Acceleration/deceleration can be assisted by other means, and bearing designers can adopt very effective solutions from other means of transit.
They’re all Acurite sensors with lithium batteries (Energizer ultimate lithium, available at Target on sale sometimes and other places). The one in the freezer is a “00592TXR” and lasts ~9 months in there IIRC (lithium cells do much better with cold temps than alkaline). I also have a few model 06044 which are small temp + humidity sensors with a display. These also have good battery life. Lastly, Acurite makes a smart hub to log to their cloud, model 09150M. I haven’t set it up yet, but it basically does the same stuff: https://www.myacurite.com/#/login

Here’s the kind of stuff it can do: https://www.acurite.com/access-my-acurite-remote-monitoring....

I’ve also had an Acurite display with some segments of digits that looked funky depnending on viewing angle. It was usable but kind of bugged me. I contacted them and they RMAd it quickly and easily for me (they just sent a new unit). For this reason, their easy availability on Amazon, the reliability and battery life I’ve had with half a dozen of their sensors deployed in and outdoors, I’ll keep buying them when I need this type of thing in the future. They don’t ever lock up or need fiddling with, so they’re kind of boring in that they just keep working until the batteries go flat. The widespread open source support is also certainly nice :)
That's something I encountered with my universities ActiveSync setup. I stopped it on Android with Mailwise.

And trains have been attacked for at least 150 years or so (westerns, Lawrence of Arabia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo–Haifa_train_bombings_194...), just like stage coaches got attacked for centuries before.

On the other hand, technological progress means planes nowadays also can be attacked while in air, using rockets (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17) or (not quite yet, I think), drones.

Planes have an advantage for the defense that it is easier for them to randomly change routes.
Researchers found misconfigured #Jenkins servers leaking sensitive data
I have been routinely dealing with these with my previous gig in WA. It's worse when places like Google (for Android sales) didn't provide full address of the buyers. (I remember they used to, but then it was down to city/state pair, I don't know how it is now...)

For the most, it was possible to devise where in the county by looking at the amount of sales tax Google collected, but there were so many of edge cases.

Since most of time, it was only a dozen or two sales within the state, but recurring joke was that maybe it's better off not selling to Washington State resident altogether. Like you said, if it was 50 states, it would be impossible to handle this.
I don't really know what this is supposed to be. And without more context, I'm having a hard time seeing why I would spend more than about 30 seconds looking at it. I see a vaguely reddit'ish looking front-page with a lot of fairly random looking stuff, none of which strikes me as very interesting.

Maybe you could tell us more about what it's supposed to be, how it's different from (Reddit|Whatever), why you think its awesome, etc?

Zip+4 isn’t specific enough either, you can still run into the same issue.

Depending on area, that can be very rare. My building has its own zip+4, and even my P.O. Box has its own. In wrangling voter data, I didn't hit a single case where a given zip+4 spanned multiple precints (but the 2000 census gerrymander came close in a few cases).

Some cryptocurrencies are designed to preserve privacy, to protect people from exactly this problem.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are currently the perfect products to sell to people who want to get rich, preferably quickly. That will always be a huge market in our economic system.
Here we are at the high point of our historic exhibition of the horrors of the 22 century. The first public occurance of public/private law.

A company which had a major flaw in its products, secretly negotiated a silent phase out of its flawed products for its bigger customers creating a private settlement, while avoiding the public courts by declaring the error trivial. This company was too entrenched to fail, as in every big actor agreed upon that seeing the company go under and half of all legacy software rewritten to accommodate new hardware, was not in the interest of a "informed" public.

Liberal fanatics of course, had no such distributed hostage effect in there market-models, and where under the illusion that the Anorexia state they created, was still too much of a influence, while in truth the upholder of citizen rights was not even present anymore at the negotiation table.

This catastrophe would later on lead to a heretic movement among the fanatics, that viewed hardware dependence in legacy not as something ugly but inevitable, but something threatening to their deity, the one free market.

Please follow me into the next exhibition hall, where we will see the reintroduction of generational slavery by debt for the underclass. Please watch your steps, some of the tiles on the floor are in slight disrepair-
> "increasing cache or writing better algorithms will make things faster"

There are performance ceilings on those as well. Best case scenario we come up with a new architecture that is more efficient than the current ones (something built around reconfigurable chips could be ideal). However, we will eventually reach a point where computers don't get significantly faster. Maybe it takes 20 years, maybe it takes 30 years, but there will come a point where that happens.
The first real build system I used was Maven - ie. huge declarative XML files for Java projects. Despite its boons for resolving dependencies, its declarative style and assumptions about build phases hit the limits on every project I used it for. I've come to see any build script as programming, however declarative. These days, I simply use Python scripts where separate functions describe what's to be done for each build target. Yes I have to write some basic functionality myself. But it's extremely flexible. YMMV for larger projects, but I am very happy with this.

Cassandra on RocksDB [video]
The most interesting part of the cryptocurrency phenomenon has been the rise of pseudo-academic writing to support individual coins or the concept itself. Every time a new coin emerges, there's a detailed advertisement that's styled like an economics journal article. At the same time, there's low-level sophistry like this article to assert that cryptocurrency is going to solve social problem X.

People who believe cryptocurrency is going to prevent autocracy have lost all grasp on reality.
OK, so Bitcoin is censorship-resistant. Good. But a practical alternative that would allow high-volume, cheap transactions could blow it off the water. This is weird; I keep seeing 'justifications' of Bitcoin's current value and future success that, to me, can simply be reduced to a sunk-cost fallacy. I have read for instance that Bitcoin's worth 'is the area under curve of the energy expense of the miners' (sunk-cost fallacy) or that it has a "pareto-like" quality, being the first largely capitalized cryptocurrency, that would make it immune from failure.

Are there any justifications for Bitcoin that cannot be explained by a cognitive bias?
Which is why the regulators really need to get sharper with them vs. what they are doing to the economy. They are front running, destroying value and spending the money on a whole load of tat - a massive case of misallocation of capital. They need to be shuttered.
I wholeheartedly believed that the first approach was a popular npm library.
Strange, I see that Sharan has CarNet, whereas my Alhambra doesn't (these are practically identical cars built in the same factory). Mine has a button for "preheating" on the dashboard + a small keychain remote control that has a surprisingly long range. I didn't even activate MirrorLink & AndroidAuto in it because it costs an extra 200€ or so #cheapbastard (honestly though, initially waze wasn't working with AndroidAuto, and by the time it started working I figured out I can just pin my phone to the dashboard and be done with it)
I think goda90 was referring to the second hand market.You may have taken good care of yours, but I suspect that miners won't have been as careful so buying these could be a bit of a crapshoot
> Microsoft should be collapsing about right now as Windows fades.

Microsoft has been reinventing themselves; partly successfully, partly failing (Windows Phone / Nokia acquisition was arguably a recent example of a failure in this regard). Windows and Office are still the primary income for Microsoft, but cloud has gained traction, percentage-wise. Xbox is profitable (it wasn't for a long time). The Surface line is another example of Microsoft reinventing themselves.

> IBM should not exist at all

IBM has been relatively marginalised, and could've been so much more rich if the IBM-PC didn't backfire them with the clones getting popular, plus them getting tricked by Bill Gates with MSDOS and Windows (the failure to collaborate with Microsoft on OS/2). But as the B in IBM suggests, IBM never cared much about the consumer space.

Note, I'm not sure about POWER, how competitive that is with Intel's high-end products. Perhaps someone can comment on that.

I think what a company like Intel needs (or any company, really) is direct competition. Ie they need AMD. The competition with ARM and such is far more vague, less opaque. To be fair, Intel did try to compete on low end, with Atom. I remember they were busy with Moblin/MeeGo in the mid '00s. Never took off AFAIK.
Why do all crypto currency enthusiasts assume that when a government cannot guarantee monetary stability there will still be reliable, always on, high bandwidth internet connections to sync distributed ledgers across the globe?

Also: Does any crypto currency have anything in store to protect itself against bad nodes? I don't mean nodes that send invalid packages but nodes that act like real nodes but just eat transactions and blocks without relaying them. Flood a network with a few million of these nodes, don't relay addresses of valid nodes and the network will split eventually.
Porosity: Decompiler and Security Analysis Tool for Ethereum Smart-Contracts
> IMO only transpiling to machine language qualifies as compiling.

It is not black and white, compiling to IL or bytecode qualifies as compiling. Perhaps compiling means compilation to a binary executable format?
Yes. Sometimes up to 500x faster. It's not the index which is important but the table itself. PostgreSQL tables are heap tables. The index might be ordered by month but the rows it referrs to can be spread throught the entire large table.

There are realistic scenarios where each row can end up costing you an 8kb page fetch, reducing query speed by ~250x for narrow tables as you're bound by memory bandwidth, or worse, disk bandwidth.

There's also an additional performance benefit in being able to skip the index scan when querying by month, and just sequentially scanning the entire partition which is usually 2-3x faster to access the same amount of data.
Why do people still think you need a high-end rig updated every year or two just to be a PC gamer? Almost every game I want to play runs satisfactorily on a five-year-old machine.

This is bad for the tech-obsessed top 10% of PC gamers. For the rest of us it's meaningless, and it's not going to last in any case.

Indeed. One of my favorite finance talks is "A Breif and Biased Survey of Quantitative Investing" by AQR's Cliff Asness, which talks about what quant funds actually are. Link for those curious:

Supply and demand curves are what make things valuable or not. Bitcoin has a finite set of coins in its network. Most people only buy fractions of a bitcoin because one full bitcoin is too pricy for them.

People used to earn Bitcoins using GPU mining rigs. ASIC miners made that obsolete. GPU mining is no longer profitable but the average person does not know or understand that.

I've seen stores like Microcenter sell out of expensive GPUs and expensive power supplies to power them. My son last year had to build a new gaming PC after his old one blew out. His GTX video card was $240 last year, but now sells for $640.

If Bitcoin is the new gold rush, the people selling shovels and supplies to miners at higher than normal prices will sell GPUs power supplies and high end Clubs and motherboards.

I am using Coinbase since the new year. I invested $1 in Bitcoin and $1 in Litecoin. They are only worth 75% as much now. It was just dipping my toe in the waters before jumping in. I am not going to jump in until I learn more about it. Buy low and sell high and don't invest any money you can't afford to lose or do without before it raises back up to sell for a profit.
I don't think cryptocurrencies are protecting anyone from any problem.

Yup, generality and reprogrammability would be my criterion as well. As for closed loop control, well maybe? Just about everything meant for industry uses servos, so there's a closed loop for positioning, but it won't necessarily know anything about the work itself.

Back in 2004, I lived in shithole country called Uzbekistan, I wanted to buy some US stocks but my bank refused to transfer MY money because of strict currency control in Uzbekistan. This was probably the first time in my life I realized that I don't actually own money stored at bank, it's just bank temporarily allows me to use my money and at any whim bank would reject to do so.

In 2010, I lived in a little bit better but still crappy country called Russia, I returned to my old idea to buy US stocks. This time is was possible but I had to make high-quality translation of agreement with US broker (i.e. Google translate wouldn't be accepted) and wait for a week to get permission to wire transfer my money to US brokerage account.

In 2012, I wanted to do some small business and I wanted to do everything legally (I was still naive at that time) so I approached my bank in Russia and said that I want to setup website which accepts credit card payments from US. My bank said they wouldn't allow me to do this.

Then I thought I can open foreign bank account. I tried to open bank account at HSBC in Hong Kong and was rejected for being Russian citizen (that's literally was a reason!). I also was rejected at every single bank in Europe.

And even if I succeed to create shell company in some offshore islands and some account at some not very much reputable bank, I would still have great problems to legalize this money in Russia as I understood from talking to lawyers (again, I naively wanted to do everything legally).

So being citizen of two wrong countries, I quickly realized how tightly government and banks control my money. At one hand Russia and Uzbekistan restrict me to move my capital abroad. On the other hand, even if you manage to move your capital abroad, western countries refuse your money. I could call this the Great Western Wall.

So now, I highly appreciate cryptocurrencies. If you have BTC, ETH, XRP nobody would stop you to send money anywhere. It's so much valuable! The only drawback is extreme volatility of these currencies. But with creation decentralized stable cryptocurrency DAI, this changing game even more.

I think the only people who hate cryptocurrencies are those bloody conformists, big brother lovers who never experienced first hand how shitty traditional financial system is.

FFmpeg can have any numbers of decoders/encoders sometimes you want to use a hardware decode to read and a hardware encoder to write (like the intel), so you can override the default decoders/encoders for each codec.
