Actually, more often than not, it is exactly the people who are reading the anti-muslim posts (and other forms of media, online and off) and then going out fueling the violence. When I was in the country there were riots and anti Muslim mobs accross the country, and they were both fueled by and contributed to the widespread atmosphere of hatred and revenge. And in Rakhine state the violence started with riots and mobs, not primarily the military.

The Rohingya uprising was just a response to what must be a feeling of helplessness and desperation. They want to be treated fairly, but with the current political and social climate that's not going to happen.

You are almost certainly going to be worse at deciding how your query should run that the query planner will be.

A straightforward Postgres database will almost certainly fulfill your performance requirements unlsss you have a pretty edge-case scenario. Under those circumstances, it would be foolish to start by assuming that you are doing something that the database cannot easily accomplish. After all, it’s much easier to migrate the parts of your stack that require custom code to a new infrastructure when you reach scale, rather that trying to constantly patch bugs and performance issues in your shitty wannabe SWL engine!

SQL is a declarative language: You describe what you want, not how to get it.

If that's not what you need, there are plenty of procedural languages whith which you describe how to get things.

A query plan will change based on statistics. It's the engine's job to decide if your query is best served by parallelizing it to multiple cores, or deciding if it's worth JITing it before execution.

The actual execution of the query is an implementation detail of the engine, and should be. That's the entire point of a SQL standard: To provide users with an interface to talk to engines, which then retrieve the data you asked for.

It is its core strength and the reason why it's so successful.

I recently created a database engine (exosql [1]), only query and no storage. It uses postgres-like foreign data wrappers to get all data.

It's not valid for big datasets, as it stores all in memory (or maybe it is?), but as a learning experience has been amazing to think and develop a real database: planner, executor, choose algorithms, implement features as lateral joins and so on.

I will definetly listen very carefully to these talks.

I really wonder who, today, have data that cannot fit in RAM, apart from big actors.

It's also a question of price. Once you get above about 256 GB of RAM server prices start to go up really really fast. And while there are systems with dozens of TB of RAM they are stupidly expensive.

So even if, in theory, most databases could fit in RAM, most people cannot afford that. And at the end of the day, 100+TB isn't that large a database in the grand scheme of things and you're not easily fitting that into RAM.
This is what I did too. My /etc/hosts is like 200 lines long :D
You don't see why that is something a person might want to believe, if at all possible?

We are, after all, talking about a scientific experiment here. Starting with a conclusion and looking for evidence to justify it is what the researchers are being criticized for, so we need to avoid making the same mistake in support of our own comforting biases.

I'm burned out.

I took a new job.

First month in, I took 3 days off, simply because of disorganization, stress and my body acted out on it.

I can't work in an open office space. Especially when the devs can work remote whenever.

I also think cultural fit is a big problem. I don't enjoy working for non-tech companies.

My work is simply not interesting, but if I could do it from remote, that's fine. I hate having to signal I'm busy by headphones. I dislike my cubicle location right by the break room and listening in on sales and seeing high school equivalent flirting and then the gossip. It's distracting/doesn't involve me what chad in Sales is trying to hit up the interns. Don't blame him, but I don't want to see it.

That's my experience.

Also, being extraverted in IT while everyone is an Introvert is a drain on itself. Sure, I enjoy tabletop gaming, and I used to play video games. I remember a job I took right outside college, I didn't pass 30 days probation because I refused to play on steam (didn't even know what steam was) with my co-workers after work.

I responded amicably that I was busy after work on the aim chatroom: "I'm here with you 8 hours a day, I don't want to spend another 4 with you guys after a commute home."

"Not a team player."

Total BS. Did not list that job on my resume and it was a complete waste of time.

Why do you think that? It would be very easy for Google to observe who is viewing PeerTube videos and to link that back to those people's YouTube profiles. You may trust them not to, but if you do, it seems you're half way to thinking it's OK for them to know.
I currently work in GR as a software developer so if you want the inside scoop contact me.

I will say Grand Rapids currently has some issues around software developers that are associated with our growing pains. Because of the rust belt depression of wages, we still haven't caught up. Wages for software developers here lag by about 20 percent. Most employers are used to paying a much lower wage than I would expect elsewhere. Senior developers might make 80-90K and juniors can expect to be making 40-50K. If you are an ineffective negotiator you might be lower. Many of my contemporaries have chosen to get remote jobs with the usual suspects. Zapier, Bitbucket, Sourceforge, Slack and others all have local people.

That said, this is a wonderful town that is changing all the time. The cost of living is low, though our real estate market is out of control and has been for a couple years. The developers here tend to have a strong sense of community and we generally support one another rather than tear each other down. We have some great local developers.

If you would like the low down on our growing town or are interest in moving, setting up a remote shop or building a company in our town let me know. I'd be happy to help you or get you in contact with those that can. (see profile)

I'm not OP, but I suspect they meant that Python and some libraries would have solved your problem in a few days of work.

This is particularly true in the UK where there's a big push for "Open Banking" where banks must provide APIs for developers.

This would remove your dependency on IE if it was all done from the command line :)

> I can only imagine this will get worse as these controllers become more and more sophisticated.

That is exactly the thing though.

If you could reduce a digital control unit to a small program and run that on a write-once memory in a dead simple controller, you'd avoid spectre, meltdown, you'd avoid the vulnerability of overwriting the program post-deployment and you'd simplify ensuring correctness of the control program. Verification might actually be possible there.
Any video filter experts here?

Request to any video filter expert

------------------------------------

I started watching this. The slides are unreadable but the camera is perfectly still and the slides are for several "key frames" where the compression algorithm decides to replace one set of compression artifacts for another.

For example try to read the first keyword under "Translates into:":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_cX3bzkExE&t=2m14s

The keyword is unreadable at the start but as you keep looking at it over 50 keyframes it becomes readable to me.

Since the camera is in a fixed position it should be possible to combine the data from those artifacts into a single superresolution video with very small assumptions. (i.e. the assumption that the image is the same image until at least 5% change or something). There's not even anyone moving in front of it.

-> Can someone who actually knows this stuff apply a superresolution interlacing filter to this video and post the superresolution version somewhere?

I hope this is not too much work, and I am sure we would all appreciate the results since the slides are not human-readable before applying some kind of superresolution!
If one is older than thirteen there's no reason to 'fight'. One might disagree with SO but throwing temper tantrums is not an efficient way of communicating and if this is the way of solving every day problems then maybe one's got bigger problem than that. Especially fighting in front of kids is suppose to teach them how to fight in adult life? For kids it's confusing and scary. And who's the winner? One with better argument or the one not crying?

(great article!) I feel like there's a little bit missing: the federated aspect. Depending on what type of art you make, you might find you are more findable (and able to find people in the same field) if you're on another instance. Like drawn art might fare well on mastodon.art, but photography might do better on photog.social—take the time to find the right place for yourself!
They are arguing, that NNs are essentially polynomials, because they can approximate each other. With the same right you can argue, that NNs are eassentially fourier series, since under very mild conditions they approximate each other as well. Therefore this is not a valid argument. Is this some kind of joke? I have checked the date, but that gives no clue.

> I never really know if my query will be O(1), O(log(n)), O(n), etc, or what kind of algorithm will optimize my query

Aka leaky abstractions. SQL just wasn't designed for performance. A query language that takes performance into account should definitely ignore any ideas from SQL. Maybe have declared data structures instead of tables with operations that use known algorithms, explicitly chosen.
Not looking to move, but just out of curiousity, how would you say developer salary / cost of living compares, to, say San Francisco? No surprise that both will be a lot lower in Grand Rapids, but I'm wondering how the ratio looks.
Was expecting something more. At least on iOS safari, this looks like a 2d image being moved with an easing function up and down and squeezed.
Hi! I run a "copycat" site that perhaps you may be referring to in that post, GuerrillaMail.com (well, actually, I didn't copy it myself, but acquired it from another guy many years back) and also been using Redis to store all incoming mail in memory. RAM is cheap these days and you can find decently priced servers with >= 128GB easy. Haven't moved over to websockets or "chunking" / deduplication yet, but architecture and UI needs an update in that direction to make it more instant. Thanks for some ideas ;-)

Actually, like you, I've also hand-rolled most of it myself, replacing the previous guy's architecture. It's been a lot of fun. No frameworks, no bootstrap, just a few dependencies here and there. Started with PHP, but now prefer to use Go for anything new. Also hand-rolled the SMTP server which turned in to a project on its own, https://github.com/flashmob/go-guerrilla

I believe NY tîmes had articles about Facebook and privacy practices prior to 2017. There was the whole debacle where Facebook “locked down” their developer platform.

I think it’s reasonable for them to have more scrutiny now as it’s clear they don’t intend to fix their practices.

Looks really interesting; I've just started listening to the audiobook.

Also, while I obviously haven't listened to this audiobook yet, it's read by Steve West, and I have listened to him narrate audiobooks before. He's great; very easy to listen to in my experience. Obviously tastes can vary (e.g. he has an English accent, which I'm sure some people won't like).
You’re not kidding.

Maybe the track version is meant to be used only rarely, when the vehicle is truly stuck. So you’re either wasting time digging yourself out with a shovel and saving on maintenance, or you switch to tracks to get out of the ditch and then perform maintenance right after you get back to the base. So long as maintenance is not deferred it seems preferable to do the latter.
This is just bad math to justify the "imperative to develop adaptive regulations" aka "lets just let Uber drive without emergency braking".

No one is fooled. It didn't take a billion miles to expose Ubers system as broken, though it did unfortunately cost someone their life. It is also not needed to take a graduate class of statistics to look at Waymos tests and realize none of them involve driving rain in pitch black night to come to the conclusion that maybe they aren't giving the entire picture and that "driving miles" are not created equal.

I feel like I sign up for websites often enough that I need to access my password vault more often than once every 20 years. When I do that, I can just store it in the most convenient service for me at the time - even sending it to my current email provider would work.

Also, storing my passwords publicly for 20-30 years is probably an antifeature: if you stored encrypted passwords with a state-of-the-art algorithm from 1998, and it were publicly accessible the whole time, how confident are you that it can't be brute-forced right now for $100 of public cloud?
Sure, but it seems almost certain to have more mechanical issues over time than a traditional wheel that doesn't have so many, er, moving parts.

Numbeo is a great site for cost of living comparison. Here's SF versus Grand Rapids[0]. To sum, if your takehome is $7800 in SF, you can live a similar lifestyle on $3700 in Grand Rapids.

So, about half the cost of living.

Reminds me of the Plenty of Fish story in terms of avoiding frameworks and rolling it yourself. In hindsight, would you consider this approach an accelerant or a deterrent?

This depends highly on the desired availability of your service and how you're shipping migrations. Some people are using init containers[0] to execute migrations before bringing up Pods in their Deployments. The deployment for Quay.io, for example, requires zero downtime, so for that a series of container images are rolled into production in order. Basically, you want different phases of the migration to have different read/write policies to new and old code-paths as you copy data into a new table. The tedious part of this is actually just writing the migration into these phases, not deploying them.

True, but if YT doesn't provide reliable ad revenue there's less reason to only put your content on YouTube. And with general unhappiness with the platform comes a desire for having at least a backup plan, so why not start posting in multiple locations now?
With all due respect, I don't want to go into all the details of a previous employer and their relationship with that client so that people on the internet can retrospectively tell me whether I made the right call or not.

Suffice to say, as I've leveled up as a developer over the years, there are many decisions I've later realized were naive or misinformed.

With all the knowledge and experience I have now: I have zero regrets about the above standoff.

FWIW if someone told a dev to FTP-cowboy develop at that company now, they'd be the one getting fired. When I was there, the company was in the midst of transitioning into more serious web dev practices.
