Corba was mainstream once. 95% of these announcements are IT departments who desperately have to show some activity and need something to work on.

Some manager, who also needs to show activity, catches on and promotes the heck out of it.

Finally the matter arrives at the CEO, who, incidentally, has to show activity to the board. Therefore, he approves.

Don't forget ransomware! And actually, it turns out not to be good for those purposes if you care about not having a permanent record of transactions that could potentially be traced back to you at any point in the future.

It seems like your head is filled with narratives of reality denial just because some groups of people who you dislike for whatever reasons have beliefs supported by this study.
That's also one hypothesis of why people are prone to believe in conspiracy theories: the alternative to believing in some malevolent force controlling everything towards some ultimate end goal is that no one is really in control and stuff just kind of happens. Some people find the latter more disturbing.

For a B2B product where every user/visitor pays a high fee, sure. However, for a consumer website that is either ad-supported, or where a small percentage of visitors pays a low fee, this is definitely not true. The new pricing is insanely expensive.
Yeah, but from a data integrity point of view that is horrifying. I guess they must have some very comprehensive testing framework to validate the code.

Also, pardon my further ignorance, but if you're not going to use foreign key constraints, what is the point of using a relational db? Why not just a fast key-value store for each index?

Indeed. Now imagine, what people already tried years ago on FPGA, rewriting the memory configuration in a machine learning, or evolution fashion. But with RAM instead of flash (-like) memory the iterations could go much, much faster.

at this point we are saturating most of the links.

In such a case, let's imagine a programmer in a department of 100 people. I take that case because to me Impostor syndrome relates to a peer group that one is actively engaged with - not to an abstraction.

Anyway, in this case, he believes that 98 people in the office are no good. 1 is amazingly good. He is both better than the 98 but much much worse than the 1. To my mind that is not impostor syndrome.

Perhaps I don't really understand the term.

Hi, I’d Like to Add Myself to the New Yorker (2016)
a lot of work is done in game hacks to inject network packets, but they usually rely on packets not being sanitized and just injecting other values. Like for instance in some mmorpg you can edit packets that are sent, to add extra skill points on leveling up or other edits in the binary information. Encrypting would help against this.

I haven't seen them exploiting clients with malicious packets. This kind of thing is a little scary, for instance, what if you let their game install some known hack into itself? Then you would be able to get all playes VAC bans, which are permanent in any case i think as VAC cannot decern if the hack was inject by another player or the player who was victim of this install. if you would do that in matches, you could get adversaries banned from tournaments etc.

In case anyone is wondering what unemployed means in this context:

> An unemployed person is defined by Eurostat, according to the guidelines of the International Labour Organization, as someone aged 15 to 74 without work during the reference week who is available to start work within the next two weeks and who has actively sought employment at some time during the last four weeks. The unemployment rate is the number of people unemployed as a percentage of the labour force.
That's not true, but the problem is likely a different than you anticipated; a large region with very few inhabitants is visually more present than a small region with many inhabitants.

So the number of unemployed people can be much larger in the small region than in the big region, contrary to the visual effect that the big region has on the visualisation (even though the employment rate of both regions could be the same).
No, why should a person living in place A have a different expectance of employment than a person in place B?

For a loop, you can unroll it and define the derivative that way. But you're correct in general that there are programs that have no sensible derivative but automatic differentiation will still compute something.

Going beyond AD there is a "differential lambda calculus" [1]. I don't really understand this work. It requires more background in programming languages, logic, and analysis than I have time to learn. My understanding is it allows you to compute more derivatives (e.g. for higher-order functions) and place conditions so only sensible derivatives are computed. There is also "differential linear logic" [2] which has some relation to the differential lambda calculus but it's unclear to me what that relationship is.

So in summary I believe:

1. automatic differentiation will compute the correct derivative when such a thing is available, and some nonsense answer otherwise

2. to increase the space of programs for which derivatives can be computed and to rule out other programs you need to look at differential lambda calculus / linear logic.

Curious how they are using colourisation in the opposite way. They have the low levels of unemployment as orange with the darker shades as the lowest and use blue for higher levels of unemployment, again the darker shades to indicate the highest employment.

So the concerning area's show as blue and the ok area's show as panic inducing Orange instinctively. Most odd.
That looks good. According to your FAQ the main disadvantage this has compared to Elasticsearch is not being able to scale horizontally.

Have you considered using FoundationDB as a storage layer to match that feature?

Disclaimer: I have no idea how to build a distributed search engine.
It does matter. Consider of a hypothetical country consisting of two equally large regions.

One region is desert, only 10,000 people live there and unemployment rate is 20%.

In the other region there are 1M people and the employment rate is 3%.

Now if you look at the map, it seems that the country is doing pretty poorly. Half of the country has a bad employment rate. Whereas in reality it only affect a small portion of the population.
Is that anecdotal or fact? How many is many, many people?
Here's an equivalent example for your stateful component :

Text {
property int count: 0
text: count

MouseArea {
anchors.fill: parent
onClicked: count++
}
}

if you put this in a file `C.qml` or load it as a component (http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtqml-component.html), then you can reuse it in other components:

Item {
C { }
C { count: 23 } // starts at 23
}

For your functionally composed example, all qt objects have a `visible` property so you'd generally do :

MyItem {
visible: props.disabled
}

Note that unlike React, the "default" paradigm is not functional : in QML you describe directly a dataflow graph between the properties of your objects. e.g.

C { id: myCount }

Rectangle {
color: "red"
// the width will change whenever the count increase
width: Math.cos(myCount.count) / 2
}

This is because the objects with which you work in QML are exactly the ones that are going to be rendered - and at a fairly low-level: they mostly translate directly to GL / D3D primitives ; there is no need for a transformative pass like with react.
Ditto, droplets are great and stable (and, somewhat surprisingly, CPU-optimized ones seems to perform better on average than the equivalent from AWS). I've tried to make it work with Spaces for the last 6 months (NYC3), but it's just a disaster, I could barely sync the data back to AWS S3 last week (you have to do it from a droplet in the same region, otherwise your chances are close to 0%). Downloading/uploading large objects is perfectly fine, but something's inherently broken at the metadata layer, so listing objects is either ridiculously slow or you get timeouts and weird errors like 'limit rate exceeded'.

TL;DR: droplets are good; avoid Spaces like the plague.

> where the unemployment rate is below 5.8%, a level generally considered to indicate a healthy labor market

5.8% is a the cut-off for a healthy labour market, apparently.

Meanwhile https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/london-s-unemployment... describes London's unemployment rate reaching 5.8% as a record low!
The definition of "unemployment" is important here. it

An unemployed person is defined by Eurostat, according to the guidelines of the International Labour Organization, as:

> someone aged 15 to 74 (in Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Iceland, Norway: 16 to 74 years);
> without work during the reference week;
> available to start work within the next two weeks (or has already found a job to start within the next three months);
> actively having sought employment at some time during the last four weeks.
> The unemployment rate is the number of people unemployed as a percentage of the labour force.
http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/...

This means that any person which is currently not earning their keep, but not actively searching a job (because they are on the dole) will not be unemployed in these statistics. It also means that any person which is not earning their keep, but unable to take a job in the next two weeks because the are in a government job market program, will not be listed as unemployed in these statistics.

Lies, damn lies and statistics.

I think that some archivists are happy even for "dirty" copies because it keeps people's hands off of the originals. And I mean that literally, because some of this stuff is so old and delicate that it will easily break apart in your hands. In the UK National Archives (at least in my room) they won't let you look at an original document if there's microfilm of it, no matter how bad. If it was unreadable you had to get an archivist to agree before they'd sign off on you requesting the original. I had one archivist tell me no and it led to an especially difficult day.

> In the mid-90s, I got a call from some friends at ATT, asking me to help them research the nascent web-hosting business. They thought ATT’s famous “five 9’s” reliability (services that work 99.999% of the time) would be valuable, but they couldn’t figure out how $20 a month, then the going rate, could cover the costs for good web hosting, much less leave a profit.

...

> The ATT guys had correctly understood that the income from $20-a-month customers wouldn’t pay for good web hosting. What they hadn’t understood, were in fact professionally incapable of understanding, was that the industry solution, circa 1996, was to offer hosting that wasn’t very good.

...

> For a century, ATT’s culture had prized—insisted on—quality of service; they ran their own power grid to keep the dial-tone humming during blackouts. ATT, like most organizations, could not be good at the thing it was good at and good at the opposite thing at the same time. The web hosting business, because it followed the “Simplicity first, quality later” model, didn’t just present a new market, it required new cultural imperatives.

> > You won't be paying for those masters anymore with the managed offering, from any of the cloud vendors I've heard of announcing a managed offering.

> Interesting, I didn't know about that. Not sure if I prefer this though. Might be another "surface" for the cloud providers to lock you in.

If you want a serious HA-FT kubernetes cluster that is spread across and resilient against failures in a single AZ, and you don't have something like Stackpoint or a managed K8S offering to configure it for you, there is a pretty serious amount of work (and decent number of computers required) in order for you to get your cluster there.

That being said, I don't know how many "hosted, managed" K8S offerings there really are in GA right now to compare.

I'm counting GKE on GCP, AKS on Azure, IBM's new managed k8s offering, AWS/EKS (which is still in preview) and Digital Ocean's offering announced yesterday (which is still pre-beta.) As far as I know, all of those offerings will give you as many masters as you need to make a resilient cluster for free, and you only pay for the workers.

(Except for the offerings that are in preview mode, then I guess you just don't pay for any of it for now...)

> Platform - Certified Kubernetes - Hosted (21)

I guess there are also quite a few I haven't looked at yet. Those are just the platforms with hosted offerings.

That's cute but as far as I can tell from your comment history, you don't even live in the EU, you don't get to speak for us (I only looked because I didn't want to assume).

Food Conversion Efficiencies of Insect Herbivores (1993)
Couple of thoughts:

1. To avoid making a loss due to map costs, sites may have to create a source of revenue which scales in proportion to the amount of maps used. Advertising? Google Advertising?

2. It seems quite easy to attack someone by linking to their map content on social media. Loads of traffic = loads of cost. So sites may need to consider devising a 'mapping cost defense' of some sort.
An >immutable< ledger helped me wrap my head around it better. The immutability makes software chip away at arenas that traditionally are the providence of law/contract/social/administrative/governance institutions. It allows for replacing middle men and automate processes that were locked up in the only form of "trust" that we knew how to facilitate (via layers of humans).
The two things aren’t mutually exclusive, and in any case you’re probably not comparing figures that are calculated in the same way.
Because, reality.
If network packets are being sent, doesn't that then mean that some amount of computation is happening on the client and in theory then any encryption of data from the client to the server is moot because the user can simply perform the injection in the process prior to the encryption (and vice versa, encryption to the client is moot because that data must be decrypted in order to be operated on, at which point the user can alter it)?

Admittedly I have very little experience with game hacking, so I could be misunderstanding something.
