I’m not very impressed at all, to be fair. The only place I was even felt positive they pointed out was Nine Inch Nails’ synth pop artistic lineage, which I think is essential for fully understanding what he has to say. It’s like a high school essay fluff piece.

As an aside, I have come to expect little from a site so fixated on exploiting trypophobia for their ad scheme.
First make sure you can't solve your problem by moving to a more powerful server. 145GB is tiny. 256GB of DDR3 is less than $600 on eBay, and can fit your whole DB.

Also, are you on a SSD?

I certainly could. Yes I am on SSD. But then moving to a bigger server is essentially just delaying the problem I am going to have to solve sometime in future. Also right now I can afford some time window of bad (slow) performance while I essentially migrate.

I should have been more specific - I was mainly thinking about AWS or Azure.
This is a potential problem for medium size businesses. Very large companies that use Google Office products have dedicated support people at Google.

This also doesn’t have to be a problem for individuals. I often use gmail, but only by forwarding my fastmail to it. I can stop using gmail at anytime (which I do often when not travelling and don’t need the extra services). I also back up my Google data periodically, so the only absolute loss for getting locked out of my account would be the digital content purchased at Google Play.

But, for small and medium businesses, beware.
As I recall, Borland's printf() was C code with the occasional pieces of inline assembly language; and this was the case for most of the C runtime library. There were occasional pieces actually implemented as fully fledged assembly language modules, but this was far from "all" of the runtime library.
It doesn't explain much.
Is watching at home versus going to the theater really a money thing though? I guess there are some people discouraged by theater pricing but then these passes are oriented toward heavy users.

Personally there are a lot of reasons why I usually watch at home but sometimes go to a new release on a big screen. Money doesn't really factor in.
Because it is inefficient and change is unlikely?
This is exactly the question and situation I am in as our 2004 Jeep probably won't pass inspection come this December and we are thinking about which car to buy and if we should buy another car.
Oh, wait, bubble sort is stable so it can't be that. Any other theories?
It's a fundamental problem with modern day medical research. Rational people would start from the principle that "every x is correlated somehow to every y" (in this case "every aspect of the human body and environment is related to aging"). Now that aspect is taken care of, so rational people can proceed to figuring out quantitative models of these relationships.

However, the current paradigm is to reward people who check for "significant differences/correlations", which just means that they "discover" all these non-zero correlations. Basically it is a huge waste of time and money but it works really well to generate an endless series of breathless press releases.
And it worked a lot better than what Google does. I remember buying things I discovered through ads on my favorite magazines.

3) Snowden looks increasingly like a Russian agent.

The point of no return for me was seeing him and Assange trying to interfere in Catalonia. Neither had ever expressed the slightest interest, and then suddenly, they're both pushing the same line. What a marvelous coincidence!

The train travels 79mph, it's just not in a straight line.

Take the straight line distance and using that to computer average speed is disingenuous to say the least.
Quite understandably, there's a lot of wishful thinking in education. Most teachers have good intentions and want to see their students succeed, so they struggle with the reality that a lot of students just aren't academically inclined and really struggle with the basics of the curriculum. It would be nice to think that everyone is a genius; the "learning styles" and "multiple intelligences" theories offer the very appealing notion that everyone is gifted deep down and a teacher just needs to find the appropriate tools to unlock that inner brilliance.

Unfortunately, this wishful thinking can lead to an inadvertent cruelty of unrealistic expectations. Through no fault of their own, some people just aren't very intelligent and have no real chance of excelling academically. We encourage those people to go to college, without considering whether they have any real chance of graduating. We lumber them with a few semesters worth of student debt for no good reason. We offer them no good alternatives in terms of vocational training or apprenticeships. We don't provide them with the educational, social and emotional support they need to make the most of their potential and find a path towards a fulfilling life. The flip side of "anyone can succeed if they really set their mind to it" is the rather callous "if you didn't succeed, it's only because you didn't try hard enough".
Yes. I don’t think the poster you’re replying to missed the author’s position; I think they were just pointing out that it generalizes poorly, since the “savings” all pretty much came from that single source, which few other people share.

As the author said: their other car held its value. If he’d had 2x of that car rather than a BMW, the results would look wildly different. Most folks don’t have that situation.
I hope it's obviously why you can't use straight line distance to computer average speed for something that doesn't move in a perfectly straight line.
15-20 years is exactly the same timeframe that most of Europe uses for railway planning. That includes things like HS2 in the UK, the Berlin-Munich high speed rail project, LGV Rhin-Rhone, the new Gotthard tunnel, etc.

The main difference is that this planning is done much further in advance (although at least the UK is well behind in terms of rail capacity construction - the UK and the US have many similarities in terms of government incompetence).

Only place that is faster is China, but they work on a different scale.

Compare this to Philadelphia, where a monthly Septa pass (that's bus+trolley+subway) is $96. That's a savings of $856/year over Uber. I have been carless for three years and my savings account is very happy now. Regional Rail passes are $105, so you don't have to live in the city, either.
The Royal Navy still does this - partially because you want to ensure that whoever is going to relieve you at 0400 is definitely awake and getting ready.

I always slept more soundly when I was getting a "shake" versus relying on my alarm clock. It's very comforting to know that you're absolutely going to be woken up when you asked to be and not have to worry about your phone being on charge or accidentally sleeping through an alarm. It also meant you didn't have to do time zone maths when you went to bed and that your alarm wouldn't wake your cabin mates.

Because eventually, you could just lease a new car and not worry about maintenance or warranty or your own safety anymore. My mum has a 2005 car which she continues running due to the reasoning of "why change the car if this one works" - and that's correct, but I added up all the repairs we did to it in 2017 and the parts + labour totaled about ~$6000 in that one year, and it looks like 2018 will at least match that. ~$6000/year gives you $500/month that could go towards a lease on a brand new car and then you don't have to worry about anything, instead of pumping money into a car that will eventually break down in such a way that fixing it will cost more than it's worth.

> The issue has more to do with the lack of written records than anything else.

Exactly. Until 300 years ago, unless you were a nobleman or a religious scholar, you likely didn't know how to write (bar a few numbers you might have required for trading activities). Long trips were tiring and extremely dangerous; travellers were, more often than not, hard men doing a hard job, mercenaries, fugitives, "rolling stones", and so on. These people didn't care for poetry, so to speak. Even Marco Polo didn't actually write anything -- he dictated to a fellow inmate who (somewhat miraculously) happened to be a professional writer, when they really had nothing else to do while imprisoned.
Show HN: Pay Bitpay invoices with Bitcoin wallets not supporting Bitpay
Are multiplex cinemas really completely filled so often? We always just show up 15 minutes before the film starts and never had any trouble. I mean, we are sad when we can’t find a row with no one directly in front of or behind us …

Obviously you shouldn’t watch the new Avengers movie during the first couple of weeks, but I wouldn’t watch it during those weeks even if I had no flat rate. Cinemas full of people are awful. (Also, I think I can even order online, but in practice that was never necessary and I do want to sit next to my friends.)

High-speed trains often move close to straight-line (which is a reason why they're so expensive) and if you compare to planes (for longer distances), they also fly approx straight lines.
Theoretical average speed is a valid measurement, in my opinion, also for door-to-door times for flying vs. driving.

I think that "secret agent" analogy is very deep. Secret agent must monitor what he is doing and the results of his actions and make his actions either the best possible (wash a dish in a best possible way) or most compatible with ways of others (put washed dish where other think it should belong).

Deliberate practice grows here naturally.

And this attitude extends everywhere, not just to programming and/or washing dishes.
They’re paying extra to not have their routine interrupted; depending on what else is going on in their life, it may be the right decision. Money is a tool to do things you want, not a scorecard.

Of course, with some effort we might simply figure out how to double our lifespans to 160-200 years.

Albert Einstein, for example, could still be alive discussing physics with Stephen Hawking.
No, they do not voluntarily approach publishers. It is a faustian bargain in which society ultimately pays the price.

I suspect that you either do not understand how academic reputation is built or you think it is somehow beneficial for society to ensure a system that makes scientific knowledge unavailable to anyone byt the elite.
Not that everyone can afford such things but a few companies I have worked for in the past have mirrored their entire cloud infrastructure across more than one provider (aws, google, azure, etc).

One was co-located at one data center that had connectivity issues and they had all traffic automatically rerouted to their development stack in the office which operated as production while their colo sorted out issues.
Pretty sure there's an option in the Google settings to download all your data from any of their services
Interested to see how he'd fare under carsharing as opposed to ridesharing. It seems UberPool is about $30 an hour per hour, UberX $54. But car2go for example is around $20-25 depending on the car and city. (not available in SF) And that doesn't require you to share a car with other people (which is fine as a taxi service, but perhaps too intimate for many as a daily routine).

That having been said, in terms of 'car hacking' he should be able to do much better if he just bought a cheaper but reliable car. He never owned the car for status purposes, his previous choice of car seems like a bad benchmark to compare Uber to. 8k depreciation is just crazy, might as well just lease at that point or buy a small, cheap japanese car, like a Honda Civic or something. Maintenance is a few hundred bucks, you can buy em for two years worth of his BMW depreciation, pretty fuel efficient. I think ridesharing is great, but you shouldn't compare it to a newly bought $80k BMW benchmark imo.

There are. I use Sandstorm.io and Cloudron is also out there. They're modern containerized platforms you can run any number of other open source web apps on.
Are they really any more similar to each other than to any other random language? E.g. Java:

try(Writer f = new PrintWriter("foo.txt")) {
f.println("hello, world");
}

try(BufferedReader f = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("foo.txt"))) {
println(f.readLine());
}
Downside to this is if there is a major revision during publication peer review that doesn't get reflected in arxiv. Economics has has SSRN for years, and while not as widely adopted I would presume the issues between the two are similar.
Lyft considers entering the eScooter fray
Depending on how much you can live without it, I suppose, but old quality cars actually hold up really well.

I bought a 1996 Mercedes-Benz E-class last year, it was 21 years old then. It cost me about 2300€ (with a set of winter tires), I did about 15k kilometers in it so far. Pretty much the only servicing I do on it is the non-critical stuff: sunroof, parking sensors etc, but aside of the „vanity stuff” it pretty much runs flawlessly for me. May just be survivor bias of course, but in any case if you don't need 100% reliability 24/7 (in which case you can always take an uber :)) I think it's a really viable choice. Plus buying a used car is afaik more environment friendly than buying a brand new Tesla or Prius or whatever.

The additional cost is for door-to-door service. Not everyone in the Philly metro area is within walking distance to a Septa location, nor do people want to spend the additional time to arrive at a Septa location and then ride to work.

Big supporter of public transit, but this is apples to oranges. Nine times out of ten, the Uber is going to get you where you want to go a lot faster, unless embarkation and destination are both on the same public transit line.
My web host leaves all IPs they own, including statics, on an RBL that lists and blocks dynamic IPs until you explicitly request they remove your IP from it. Essentially it ensures they don't have to worry about 99% of their IPs being used by spammers.
For me personally the cost of a movie ticket is a rounding error, even at more expensive cinemas.

The experience of watching a movie at home, with a few close friends, on a 65 inch OLED, with a Dolby Atmos system, and access to my beer fridge and refreshments from the supermarket, is far superior to anything a cinema could offer.
I don't remember of Google providing a PR response to any moderately controversial mistake they made.

They most likely don't have anyone to speak for the company except on bigger issues. Even their product forums are staffed with "community experts" who no one knows if they're Google, community or a 3rd party service and no one with enough authority and knowledge to properly manage things.
Just a nitpick: programming language theory makes absolutely no judgment on what is a correct or incorrect approach [1]. It just studies the implications of various language designs. In this case it says something close to, if you have erasure then you have parametricity, and it also says what parametricity guarantees. It does not and cannot, however, claim that this is the "correct" way. In general, mathematical theories do not have an intrinsic notion of empirical value.

[1]: Although some PL theorists may, but this is an expression of their opinion, not something that comes out of the theory.

The air above your garden is not exactly 'public space'.

>if you don't like the results Google's service provides, you'll choose a better service provider

In the real world, this isn't always a clear option. If I run a restaurant I cannot cause everyone who might visit it to switch to a different maps provider.

For the users, there _isn't_ a comparable service to Google Maps. The competition is fairly incomparable. This is a scenario which is only going to keep happening more often and worse as we move deeper into systems where _data_ is the differentiating factor. Competition becomes impossible when you're starting from zero and the entrenched player has decades of good, clean data.
The classic funding mechanism that matches best with that model is municipal bond issues, where private funders get to tap into the future revenue stream of the region as a whole and the local government get cash up front to spend on capital investment. Since the government does capture revenue from those positive externalities (via a more robust tax base) it aligns incentives nicely. Not sure why they seem to have gone out of favor to be replaced with public-private-partnership type arrangements, where the private entity gets just profits from tolls or tickets in exchange for fronting some cash.
Both cars I owned were used, but if I had excess money I would probably go for a new car because of how shit the 2nd hand market can be. You never really know what you buy unless you pay a 3rdparty expert to verify that the thing you're buying isn't critically flawed in a non-obvious way.

Best Waterproof and Water-Resistant Phones
Oh sure. I’m talking about lines built in 1890-1925 to take folks from the center business district to 1-4 family detached housing.

These lines stuck around until the late 1950s, and had dedicated lane ownership. The city I live in is small and was demolished by urban renewal, so as suburbs that were a 15 minute drive away developed, the system declined with the central business district.
