I prefer the control of writing SQL too. However, you have to be careful of SQL injection attacks.

Honestly, if you are developing a web app, when you have it working, part of the routine should be to look at the SQL queries for each operation and spot any N+1 issues. I use Django, so this is easy to do in Django Debug toolbar. I'm sure similar tooling exists in other frameworks as well.
The SSRIs cause more circulating seratonin, which means there is less seratonin waiting to be released by the action of the LSD. Your high will be diminished, but also will last longer.
You're leaving out the other big new trend of today, which is containers like Docker where now people like to run applications from within.

You're right, something is quite wrong, but Minix isn't the answer either, as it doesn't provide the isolation that containers and VMs do.
>malls are dying because they're all based on materialist consumerism: something millennials want no part of.

There are more than millennials alive. The malls are dead because it's not longer convenient. Clothing stores are now in neighborhood shopping centers. Not to mention the real killer: the internet.

Having controlled psychedelics could be safer - especially in the raving community where too often deaths occur from dangerously mixed and pressed substances.

There has to be a more comprehensive study done on its neurotoxicity. Or more studies in general. But who will pay for it and why?
We use Hibernate at work and I've seen it generate some pretty gnarly queries (like, tens of kilobytes of just SQL). People like to rag on Oracle, but it's kind of impressive that it stands up to such abuse without complaining.
> reliable and repeatable results.

...given that the environment is in a predictable state. if the package manager allows for such state to change, and depends on it, how can one be sure that a package installation/disintallation can be reliable and repeatable?
I don't think that's it. Brussels is indeed building its own kafkaesque state because they have little pragmatic sense of how things work. As an EU citizen i have little understanding of why these laws are being introduced and whether they have even been debated with us. GDPR is a mountain of bureaucracy that is already turning itself to another cookie law, with people being currently trained to click yes to consent on every website (i certainly do, its just easier than going through the alternative for each and every article i read). This law ... just seems impossible to implement but i wouldn't be surprised if it passes, even just to please the lawmakers who made it.
Thanks. I was always wondering why others don't do this more often.
I find it much easier to remember and type in a few words compared to a long number.
First, why 'or'?

Second, anyone who thinks psychedelics are a shortcut or an easy way to do something obviously haven't experienced them.
I spend most of my engineering time on the front-end, and I 100% agree. We are wasting so many resources that I'm genuinely disgusted by it.
Claims no production staff were affected. Don't know the employee breakdown but imagine production is a huge portion of it. Hard to believe entire other divisions weren't completely eliminated if production not touched.
Exercise. Not 'going to the gym' but regular, intense, 60m+ workouts that push you further than you thought possible.

Good apps for this: Keelo, Peloton. I use them both in combination since they are totally different. Insanity is also great but their app blows.

YMMV but really hard exercise has proven invaluable for my mental health.
Keep sugru in the fridge. Lasts a lot longer.
Very nice. Now, maybe allow it to connect to a typical SQL database via Cloud SQL? It seems like the only hosted database you can use with this is Cloud Datastore, a proprietary NoSQL database.

I'm sure this is at least partly tied-in to their ongoing, illegal efforts to crush labor organizing at their plants.

Rooftop solar cannot work in dense multistorey apartments. Its at best a rural suburban solution
Its not great. Even before solar the advantage of a cross continental TL were there (namely ironing out the demand curve, hydro storage, ect).

To limit resistive losses you have to go to really high V -> massive pylons (there were some built behind the iron curtain).

But you still have capacitive coupling (and reflections after the TL is larger than $\lambda$/10 -> You need to go to very low f or even DC

But high V. DC is hard! and low f AC is massive.

Ultimately it hasn't been done because it hasn't been worthwhile.
Learning a CBT(cognitive behavioural therapy) tool, and make using it a habit.

For me it was "the work", by Byron Katie, which beyond all the mumbo jumbo, is just a very simple(great for habit formation) and very effective such tool and supposedly has some similar effect to meditation , learning to discern truth from all the stories our mind invents.
I am not sure about the percentage affected or what the preconditions have to be, or what other measures to detect them are, but personally I never tried psychedelics recreationaly due to their extremely long duration of effect.

I know there is a good argument about setting, mindset and support being the relevant factors, but the possibility of multiple hour horror trips always made me think again. And again. Which in itself is a huge problem for people who get complications because of that fear.

There are some drugs who work similar to an "allergy test". Salvia divinorum for example has an extremely short duration of effect. A few minutes (<10) in comparison to the same amount of hours. With proper supervision the potential to detect people at danger without lasting complications looks extremely promising to me. Sadly I dont think anyone will care for such safety measures as long as the whole benefit of psychedelic drugs is illegal at the moment.

It's not impossible to be healthy. To be clear, I'm not making excuses, I do take responsibility for my sugar intake and health in general and I make responsible choices. I take it very seriously, which is why I describe my diet as "eating defensively." Food in America can be fast, cheap, and convenient, or it can be healthy. The "healthy" options cost twice as much at any fast food restaurant (not to mention the amount of sugar and fat hiding in your salad dressing). I just wish it weren't like this in America.
My criticism of blockchain is how niche the uses are.

Bitcoin is great, worldwide transactions that are immune from the US government printing money every year. I understand that.

Voting and timestamps, great uses for blockchain.

However more complex work may need significantly more oversight. Sure its not great to add columns to a database, but you are not going to have this ability if millions of people dont need the columns. Thats the fault of decentralized chains.

Centralized blockchains defeat the purpose obv, but that hasnt stopped hundreds of coins from doing this.

Im very skeptical of crypto outside of bitcoin.

I think Firebase Functions are more restricted in what/when they can run
Firefox is in the early phase of implementing support for non-HTTP protocols, starting with Tor. My understanding (from reading some Mozilla comments here maybe?) is that their goal is to make this pluggable so that eventually Firefox can support all kinds of non-standard transports, including p2p ones like dat://

We’re not there yet, but Mozilla is making a very positive step in that direction, and hopefully other browser vendors will follow. If I were creating a new protocol, I would be doing it now, to “skate where the puck is going” as they say.

Are there type definitions for the Google Cloud packages?

Edit: For those also interested, here is the relevant issue https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-node/iss...
So you haven't done it, you have no studies to back this idea, but you just assume it's going to be a problem somehow..

So-called "bad trips" can be tremendously beneficial afterwards. They're "bad" because you get into the kind of deep, uncomfortable introspection that most people would want to avoid naturally. You learn things about yourself and the world that you probably wouldn't have wanted to know. That doesn't mean that you're going to go crazy afterwards. A lot of people come out better on the other side.
That seems about right. 100-200k GBP in London, 200k-400k USD in the USA. Standard packages for people with a few years of experience.
Assuming their internal projects are built similar to OSS, I ask you to try playing with them yourself and see if you come to the same opinion. There's better ways to critique an arch than just measuring outages.

Netflix has built an amazing system for messing with their servers to try find failure points. And they have a bunch of cleanup jobs that run to fix consistency errors. This is just what I picked up from a past obsession with their architecture.

Then I worked on a few projects built that way, and realized it was a horrible nightmare. By having a global immediately consistent datastore you can push all these concerns back to the database, and your codebase ends up far smaller.

The failure modes tend to explode in complexity when you're doing rpc across services with different datastoress because you have to deal with distributed transactions yourself. Every single call needs to be able to unwind itself across all services.

If you have a call that fans out to 10 other service calls, you need to be able to unwind any of them in any order. It quickly becomes untenable
Over time people build up useful heuristics. There is a difference between questioning authority vs questioning why tuesdays exist and if maybe it's sunday for dogs.
The general consensus is that this is an extremely small portion of the population, and that psychedelic use is only typically a premature trigger for a preexisting condition rather than a prime cause for these types of mental issues.
Is this a difference between random and algorithmically random? I'd have expected "not computable" to be synonymous with "algorithmically random."

Firebase cloud functions are more AWS Lambda competition, where you write JS functions that follow a particular interface and can do certain things.

This is being able to deploy regular NodeJS servers with no special changes or modifications, and have them run an autoscaling sandbox that does a really good job of keeping the server alive (and charging you) only when absolutely necessary. Also scales up infinitely (up to your budget, anyway) in a pinch.
The entire dockless business model started in China and they're way ahead with the backlash. Shanghai has cracked down hard [1] but it's still a huge problem with bikes being dumped all over the place [2].

If people can move past the dockless approach and realize it doesn't scale then we might get more efficient business models that could be defended without gobs of VC money.

Oh, than I misunderstood, sorry. You're absolutely correct.
"I'm really worried"

The first rule of psychedelics: don't worry.

How to not worry? Relax. Keep the body at peace. Be simple. Stay in the heart (stay with how you're feeling, not just with what you're seeing/experiencing). Let go. You cannot lose yourself because you are always yourself. Be grateful for the incredibly valuable experience you're having, even if it's difficult.
The parent commenter is saying (or rather, insinuating) that GitLab's outage is symptomatic of a broader problem in the software industry, vis á vis unnecessary complexity.

I think it was worded a bit harshly, but there's a kernel of truth there. I don't mean to pile onto GitLab in particular, but take a look at this open proposal for hardware upgrades at GitLab in late 2016: https://about.gitlab.com/2016/12/11/proposed-server-purchase.... I don't think I can do a better job of explaining what's wrong with that proposal than this thread, from the ensuing HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13153860.

Our industry is plagued with architecture decisions that pile layers and layers of complexity onto otherwise straightforward technical problems in pursuit of scalable abstraction. Even companies that legitimately have to think about "scale" choose architectures which technically impressive but brittle in practice.
Based on the Nature article it looks like the conclusions within the research community are still pretty unsettled.

Ah yes, I love receiving Smug Responses from developers who think they know what's best for their spaghetti code. I've been working with SQL longer than some of these kids have been alive. I know my shit, and I know when a query pings my slow query logs because of inefficient nonsense. Generally your end users have put it through far more paces, than you who probably don't use it in any production capacity. There's ZERO excuse for poor indexes, or NONE at all! Do what you want with the provided fix, because I've already applied to our systems to keep the server from crumbling.
Friendly PSA: always negotiate severance. Companies can always be forced to restructure like this or even just choose to on a whim. Pressure from the board, hiring a new CTO who wants to bring in his or her own people, etc. etc.

Always make sure you are happy with what type of offsetting compensation you’ll receive in this eventuality before taking the job, and consider it a huge timesaver if an employer passes on you because you asked to negotiate a competitive severance package.

I'm shocked IOTA isn't on this list.

Companies like Bosch and Fujitsu are already creating uses for it in IoT.

There're already a few IOTA-powered electric vehicle charging stations in Europe. It's instant and fee-free, with very little overhead (no power consumption problem).

Since it cannot be mined via PoW, there are already efforts to create "mining pools" were universities can rent CPU/GPU power from "miners" using IOTA, that way miners are performing valuable computations rather than just a bunch of redundant math.
If it helps, here are a couple of things that you might consider:

- you likely know a lot of people who actively or in the past were experimenting with psychedelics, but you don't know that you know them because it is socially taboo and their experiences aren't super relavent to how you are interacting with them

- if you can accept that idea, then you might also consider that given a larger population of people who've tried it with few ill effects your anecdotal sample might not be an accurate representation of the psychedelic experience.

That second point would reconcile the "strange fervor for others to try it, even from people who have had bad trips."

There are indeed plenty of people mental health issues floating around, and while it's true that you may or may not know if these drugs will trigger a larger episode, that kind of life altering aspect of psychedelics not very common in my experience as a person who knows hundreds of people who have worked or played with these substances.

Those ideas are also based in my anecdotal experince, and perhaps it comes from a willingness to question some "fundamental axioms from scratch", but at the same time maybe that's a) not always a bad thing to do from time to time, and b) if your fundamental axioms are good there is no reason that you won't come back to them.
A clinical setting sounds like a total nightmare when using psychedelics.
There's two potential issues: Can I prove they control the private key that goes with that transaction? Can I prove that that transaction was originally used to settle a specific invoice (or something equivalent)? Sometimes, one of the two will be true and I have a strong case. In others, I have neither and it's my word against theirs.

Nuclear has become a political issue in the US, and these kinds of decisions can be political, not done for economic or safety reasons as one might have hoped.

As an example, the California Public Utilities Commission, decided to shut down Diablo Canyon even though PG&E says in regards to the Diablo Canyon power plant:
>...At 2.78 cents per kilowatt-hour, DCPP’s average production costs are lower than all other forms of electricity, but are higher than the national average of 2.19 cents per kilowatt-hour for nuclear power

(Doesn't bother PG&E, the CPUC will let them increase the rates.)

How to start a startup incubator

I don’t hold this binary view that a “decentralized Web” has to avoid certain technologies. I believe we should aim to use peer-to-peer systems where it’s impactful and practical, and in the rare case you do need a third-party server, there are things you can do to limit your dependence and make them easy to reconfigure.

That’s our approach with Beaker. We use peer-to-peer systems as much as possible, and then plug in servers as minimally as possible.
My suggestion would be to rebuild the existing set of retail locations and target a group or niche to drive more traffice. For Example: Focus on Moms with kids from zero to 6. All the stores would cater to this group. You wouldn't see Athletic Shoe Stores or Abercrombies but store lke Baby Gap, Carters, Gymboree or Childrens Place. Add in Starbucks and a few other children friendly restaurants. Put in one or two play spaces for kids. Offer Free Babysitting if the Moms schedule appointments at a Yoga Center, Nail or Hair Salon. Make it a destination for Mom's to One Stop Shop for all their needs and a place where kids can play while they sit and watch or shop. Put in a couple of Pediatricians, Eye Doctors and a few Kids focused Dental Services. A Kids focused Movie Theatre and maybe even an aquatic center attached but for young kids. Make the entire place a desitination. "THE" go to place in town to shop for Moms with kids from infant to 6.

There's also the option of more efficient support & operations, which is arguably the approach that Lyft took.

Uber chose to raise a ton of money and outspend their competitors in the hopes that they bleed them out via spending in acquisition and creating new products via R&D (maybe express pool is an example of this).

Lyft, however, seems to aim for profitability and stability. I assume this means investing in internal tools & processes so that they can be more efficient.

I'm not sure who wins in this situation. But I imagine Lyft isn't going away, and Uber may, truly, run the well dry at some point.

The question is whether the real numbers (as a set) are real, not whether each specific real number is a thing.

Transcendental — the numbers that make the real numbers distinct from the algebraic numbers — are not necessary for anything we do, and all the weirdest corner cases in math seem to come from treating them as a thing. sqrt(2) and 0.5 aren’t transcendental. 0.5 is a rational. Sqrt(2) is an algebraic. You can express them in physical terms (as roots of finite polynomials)

Most reals don’t need to exist for any purpose. All we need is some kind of vector space of constants (e.g. planck’s constant, electro-permeability, the speed of light, the mass of an electron) over the unbounded algebraics. It’s entirely possible that some of these constants would in fact be transcendental, but such a space is much much smaller than the reals. These are the numbers we can construct.
