This won't happen unless you have a huge traffic which usually should translate to revenues that can support it. There is nothing wrong with services that you use to generate profits but have to pay for. Services like maps with 99% coverage of the world takes enormous amount of efforts over many years of sweat by very talented team. I know of countries where government wasn't able to produce good maps for decades but Google was. Currently while I travel, I very heavily rely on Google Maps. It's a pretty amazing service and I have paid more for stupid Angry Bird.

If you know someone isn't really your friend, to move on and get them out of your life ASAP. It's a bit like breaking up, it takes some guts to tell someone you don't want to be their friend anymore. To stop answering the phone etc.

To generalise this, to eliminate bullshit as soon as your instinct tells you it is BS (which is years before you may be willing to admit it!)
Not sure why you're saying Python was used as an alternative to Ruby when Python is older than Ruby.

In certain scenarios if you need to modify the schema for a table in MySQL it will lead to the entire table being locked, and for large tables this could lead to a noticeable outage for users if you need to run queries on that table. One case I had where we faced this problem was changing the primary key for a table from 32 bit to 64 bit ints since we were running out of space. We used Percona's online schema change tool for handling this, which wrapped the creation of a new 'ghost' table (which has the target schema you want), rate limited writes from original table to ghost table, triggered writes from original table to ghost table as new writes came in, and finally a table rename from the ghost table back to the original table name in order to perform the full migration with no data loss or outage.

Sounds like this tool is doing something similar but avoiding the use of triggers for flexibility.
And depression can cause you to overweight negative memories and discount or ignore positive memories, which seems like it would exacerbate anxiety and imposter syndrome.
I work in the tech transfer office for a medium sized university (a non practicing entity! shock horror) and patents are a very key tool for us.

Many players we license technology to are only interested in licensing a technology if it's protected by a patent. If there isn't any patent protection, then any third party willing to put enough in can simply read some journal articles published by the researchers (because they do publish everything they can for prestige and more government money) and implement the software themselves and the licensee has no way to stop them (other than through their own execution).

I haven't work at the tech transfer office for very long, but I think I have only seen software related inventions be licensed that had patent protection. When we do license a patent, the licensee most often receives worldwide exclusive rights to exploit the technology in their field. (well, I guess it's not quite worldwide monopoly, it's only a monopoly in the regions the patent is filed in, we do give them worldwide rights to use other stuff like copyright and trade secrets though).
Goldman is very smart but they are also willing to throw ethics out the window and put huge swaths of society at financial risk if they can capitalize on it. I like them as an investment but they are kind of the epitome of capitalism's worst excess.

How important was momentum cycle (The decrease then increase)?

Unrelated but it would be great if you could answer: In general, how important is momentum tuning and what are the heuristics for the same?
Possibly, but it depends who you hope that it will protect you against, or who you wish to extort with it.

Software patents are granted by people who don’t understand software, for pretty much anything.

If you hope that it can protect you against a large company, there’s a pretty good chance that their portfolio already contains a broader, stupider patent than the one you’ve acquired, which covers what they’re doing. Or perhaps the same thing worded differently. You will lose.

If not, or if it’s a smaller company with keen VCs or deep pockets, they can just burn you out on legal fees for IP lawyers. You will lose.

All your patent will be good for is extinguishing small independent businesses in your space, by drawing them into lawyerdom, at considerable cost to yourself. You will win, simply because you have more to spend.
Neither?

I don't even know how it is possible for a corporation to be 'unalloyed evil'. At least above some threshold size, you're going to mishire and get someone who fails to kick all the puppies or twirls their mustache at an inappropriate time.

More seriously, strong drugs with high addiction potential are medically necessary for those who need them (my understanding is that there are no substitutes in some situations, and a lot of the substitutes for other situations are substantially worse along some dimensions). That shouldn't mean you do whatever you can to push volume, but, well.

So, in my view, they're producing important product. They're also run by awful, greedy human beings who should be snubbed by non-awful humans.

It is just another reminder that win-at-all-costs capitalism has... costs.

No it isn't, in the sense that it's not part of a language spec for JavaScript, like E4X (now deprecated) once was considered to become. But I guess E4X's problem was that it was too far ahead of its time and had XML in its name.

Interestingly, in PicoLisp, if the car of a list evaluates to a number (but isn't a literal), it's taken to be the address of an fsubr (this is how all of the builtins are implemented; if you evaluate their symbols, you'll see they're bound to integers). If you want to do this with a literal number, you have to quote it, like ('1 2 3)

Two families I know lost children to drowning. In both cases it was "we just looked a way for a few seconds", with intense guilt even years later.

Something I read, merciful happy ending: Father was in water with his wife, son splashing around about 10 feet away. Suddenly a boat skipper leaps off a nearby pier, runs right at them, knocks parents out of the way and gets their drowning son out of the water. Even 10 feet away they were unaware their son was drowning.

Also happy ending, YouTube of a lifeguard in a public pool. To my eyes nothing going on, but lifeguard is out of her chair and diving blowing her whistle on the way down and gets a kid safely out of the water.

Bingo. Just like a casino doesn't "believe" in blackjack, craps or poker. They'll just set up the tables to match what people want to play. In the Goldman Sachs case it's even easier to set up tables as they don't have a finite size floor.
Knime is very similar concept giving you access to building blocks like models, evaluators, input transformers, etc. so that you can make arbitrary ML pipelines. It doesn't have the slick drag'n'drop of input data. Instead you use an input building block and point it to a data store of some sort (text files, images, database, etc.). Also, it doesn't generally output models for direct use in other applications but you can output using PMML. Knime is also very useful for analysts, data scientists, etc. who aren't software engineers. Lobe has run with the concept pioneered earlier by folks like Knime, RapidMiner, WEKA, etc. They've simplified the process of quickly getting a working model by constraining on one model type and one input type. If your use case matches, it's a great innovation. If not, per usual, no free lunch.

Are there any popular systems in which there are separate downvotes for "I disagree" and "I think this is a low-quality, inappropriate, or abusive comment"? Or separate upvotes for "I agree" and "I think this is a useful, interesting, or high-quality comment"?
Except they haven't, really. They can still turn on their phone and login onto Facebook and watch stuff on YouTube. Someone telling them they no longer have Internet will just sound silly.
Some folks use a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter and a user-space proxy to forward EAP (authentication) packets to the AT&T router but otherwise use the EdgeRouter to route LAN traffic out to the ONT (fiber to Ethernet translator) and the internet, thus bypassing the shitty AT&T router for most stuff. This would be sufficient to ensure that 1.1.1.1 is reachable.

It's not a good solution for me, however, because I run PFSense, which is FreeBSD-based and lacks the PF_RING socket support to filter out those EAP packets. As far as I know, PFSense's PF packet filter cannot strain them out, either. Traditional libpcap is available on FreeBSD (slow) and netmap (fast), too. I looked into writing an EAP proxy in Go using a special netmap-enabled libpcap but it was way too much yak shaving and I eventually gave up. I should take another look, or maybe learn enough C to do it natively with netmap. My goal is native EAP proxy support for PFSense that can support filtering EAP out of a wirespeed gigabit fiber connection.

Also, even if the lock is not used, when you're changing an indexed column, you need to rebuild that index. In most production environments you just can't say "we're going to serve all the traffic without this index for a few hours" - that would kill the service (or a part of it if you're lucky and can disable it)
I have extensive experience with MySQL. In fact I used to run a really big social network (70M+ users) based on MySQL db.

I created an Algolia account once with my personal github account, just for testing purposes. Starting the next day and continuing for a few weeks, I received a stream of emails from their sales people requesting times to schedule phone calls, and telling me how much they can help my company. I had no idea how they knew which company I worked for until I checked my linkedin and found Algoia people were visiting my profile. They have some seriously stalkerish sales practices.

What Happened to the Book Herman Melville Wrote After ‘Moby-Dick’?
> I asked some of my male colleagues whether they also experience impostor syndrome and got a resounding yes. In researching the topic for this column, I read an article that suggested even Albert Einstein felt this way at times.

Damn.

It's hard to compare oneself objectively with others. Not that it's ever such a great idea. For others, you only know what they accomplish, plus whatever they're willing to share about the process. But for oneself, everything is laid bare. All the uncertainty, false starts, mistakes, dead ends, and so on.
I think that depends on what you mean by "worse hire." Reading the article, it seems that those inflicted by more severe (or studied) cases of imposter syndrome are more likely to work harder in order to combat their own feelings of 'incompetence' or 'inability. If someone puts in extra effort and hours, is that a "worse hire"?

Personally, I'm not stranger to this feeling. I've recently been hired into a new (well-renowned) tech company and wonder how that happened / whether or not this company made a mistake hiring me. The only way I can reconcile this feeling is to try and do my best at my new position, within reason, while trying to maintain a healthy work-life-balance that allows me to avoid the biggest detrimental effects mentioned by the article.

I don't think this is a self-fulfilling prophecy per se. I think the only danger that can result from an 'imposter-syndrome hire' is that they may burn themselves out easily if they don't find their footing in a new ground / new position and leave sooner than a "normal" employee.
