I wish. When I had it installed, I was told there was an issue, but I was sure it was the right part so I told them to go ahead and just do it. Afterwards, there was a heavy bag of leftover parts, and I said "what's this?" It was the stuff that had to be taken off to fit the wrong part. That stuff, coincidentally, doesn't have part numbers or documentation itself.

Also not helping - salvage places that don't send you the exact part that's pictured on their website.
I get a lot of flak for it, but this is why I stopped following the daily news. So much of it is noise. People are flabbergasted that I am not following the latest turn in some months long drama, but it is precisely because it is months long that I don’t need to follow the daily changes. My hope is that it leaves me better able to filter the noise. I couldn’t say if it is working, but it feels like it is.
That's important for casual readers, but less important for historical reconstruction purpose. Consider that reseachers used a micro-CT scan followed by volume cartography analysis to locate the ink within the thoroughly burnt-to-a-crisp En-Gedi scroll [1]. Compared to that, a CD is nothing.

That market is not my area of expertise at all, but best of luck to you. If you've got time... never hurts to have something show off even if it doesn't work out, but it also sounds like you're quite capable / would have plenty of that ;)

Great username by the way.
Currently we trust information by the source it comes from. It’s an authority-based model.

Consensus shifts that trust from authority figures to others in your group. Bottom-up trust instead of top-down.
From another computer? This situation sounds so contrived as-is. Don't tell me they also can't use another system?
> For some people, this is some of the most important question before they would try out a new app.

Seems like not that big of a deal considering it’s geared towards beginner programmers?
I totally agree with your sentiment, but I will say one thing. If there is some shock in the world economy crypto could be a way out.

Imagine

- A bank run where every bank goes under and it is not possible to easily bail them out

- The government has to increase inflation and we far exceed the 2% target

- The existing financial system gets hacked and records get destroyed

Not saying any of this is likely, but it could happen.

The US dollar has only been backed by nothing since 1971. That is a very short amount of time in the history of the world. You can see that in that same period of time debt has skyrocketed and production output vs. wages have diverged significantly. It would be somewhat presumptuous to assume that the existing system is going to last forever.

That said, it doesn’t mean that crypto currencies are THE answer, but they are a possible answer.

Finally “the most economically stable nation on the planet” is $21 trillion in debt.

I think if something like Bitcoin does end up reaching mass adoption it won’t be because people CHOOSE to use it, it will be because they are FORCED to use it because no one wants to accept dollars anymore.
Given the size of Bitcoin's keyspace, what would you surmise is the cost to a particular cause of "tainting" one of its public keys?
But what about the Big Pop?
That's Medicaid, I think. Medicare coverage for old people is much more limited.

But I do agree that fraudulent exploitation of Medicaid and Medicare by the medical industry is all too common.
I must say I cannot agree with this book being a good read. If condescending, narcissistic, misogynist is your thing, I suppose maybe. Only book I have ever returned on Audible.
One interesting article I read had an interesting point: one thing Java does better is to use type Erasure. This was surprising to me because reified types are often touted as one of the best things about C#. The author's argument was that type erasure made implementing different type systems on the JVM easier, because type erasure isn't as strict, which makes the JVM a more attractive language target than the CRT.
Well, there's virtually always an interface :)
We had an IBM PC XT with an expansion board that upgraded the 8088 to a 80286. To drop speeds back to approximately what they used to be, or toggle back, you would hold both shift keys at the same time, and it would respond with either a high- or low-frequency beep.
It's also difficult to believe this same company isn't facing down multiple multi-pronged advanced persistent threats.
Its not that we, as in public, have a choice of passport issuers :)
This is beautifully written. Thank you.

Maybe a different but related question worth asking is: what does a blockchain accomplish that cryptographically signed audit logs in a centralized database don't?

Setting aside the specific technical details, in concept a database of cryptographically signed audit logs and a blockchain aren't so different - blockchain adds decentralization and a trust/truth resolution formula, at the cost of a different set of scalability concerns. So when is that decentralization specifically useful?
Except the author needs to be proficient in both, and this author wrote two anti-patterns in the Vue example.
Or they get tired/can't keep up with having to continuously learn and adapt, which cognitive dissonance defensively turns into disdain for 'something new'.
To be fair, that business model includes obscuring that aspect of the business model as much as possible.
I went to an airshow in Oklahoma in 1995 or 1996 while I was still in the Air Force (it was a civilian airshow at Will Rogers airport, not a military airshow) and they had one parked out on static display. I walked under the wing, even touched the bottom of it. We also got a B-2 flyover, land, take-off, flyover, the same year. It was a great show.
Trust has always been a problem. A trustless currency doesn't solve the problem any more than anything else has. Blockchains can't and won't solve the UK brexit problem. It won't solve the US politics problem. It won't solve the businesses too big to fail problem or the politics, power, and money corrupting people problem.

I agree that trust in institutions is a problem but blockchain won't solve it. It will just displace it. In return if you aren't careful you'll lose the benefits of third party arbitrators. The very thing that in the current system gives you any hope of righting the wrongs that the systems you don't trust have inflicted on you.

It's quite probable that rather than making things better cryptocoins will make them worse. It's also quite probably that they will devolve into the very thing they were trying to avoid becoming. As a case in point: Ethereum forked because of a bug in a smart contract. A central authority had to step in to right a wrong. (You can't trust people to write correct software). And that was early on in the cryptocurrency history. There will be more such occasions and each one will prove that not only can you not trust your bank to always get it right. You also can't trust the cryptocurrency developers or the smart contract developers.
No and no. I’m no unity expert but I think it is based on Mono, an open source implementation of the CLR and the C# compiler. So it doesn’t "steal" the syntax, it use a compiler made for the language. To put it simply, Mono was (cf infra) the open-JDK of the .net world.

Xamarin is a startup founded and run by people working on Mono.

In the recent years Microsoft opened its new C# compiler (Roslyn) and bought Xamarin with have blurred the lines between the implementations.
This is not at all a fair comparison. For one thing, the scarcity of bitcoin is not really all that artificial. You can't forge BTC and there's no central organization that can suddenly print more.

The other thing is that bitcoin actually solves a need in the world - the ability to transfer wealth from one person to another anywhere in the world without intermediaries. Folks can argue about how necessary this is for the average person, but it's certainly something that beanie babies (or any other physical collectible good) cannot provide.
Sorry, wasn't very clear - the booths are usually 24x12 or so, sized to fit cars and trucks, not F117 size. That's part of the problem.

>Is it possible to have production-quality search using just postgresql?

It depends on your search use case. If you are doing fairly simple searches such as trying to find, say, usernames, you can certainly have production grade search using Postgres.

However, if you have to handle searches that are not as targeted, Postgres will not be enough. One example is searching with synonyms - if you want a record containing "automobile" to match queries containing the term "car", ElasticSearch will serve you better.

Postgres is a relational data store and ElasticSearch is an information retrieval system; each focuses on their intended use case. The fact that Postgres supplies some elementary search capabilities does not mean that Postgres can well serve a bona fide information retrieval user case.
Wikipedia remembers: "The Scroll Lock key was meant to lock all scrolling techniques, and is a vestige of the original IBM PC keyboard. In the original design, Scroll Lock was intended to modify the behavior of the arrow keys. When the Scroll Lock mode was on, the arrow keys would scroll the contents of a text window instead of moving the cursor. In this usage, Scroll Lock is a toggling lock key like Num Lock or Caps Lock, which have a state that persists after the key is released."

Yeah, if you have a simpleish app (or even not a simple app) you can probably benefit from playing around with how PG does search without needed ES/Solr/etc. But it really depends what you do, obviously.
> So then it's just a matter of including a set of fonts that covers every character

Have you ever tried to literally do this? You won't succeed.

The Google Noto font family is getting there, but I think they're only caught up with like Unicode 6, and we're on Unicode 11 now. There are some recently-added scripts that you won't find in any font. The Unicode tables render them in proprietary fonts that are obfuscated in the PDF, usually without even any information about how to buy them.

I forgot that Gould had two instructive examples:

* Scriabin's Desir. Gould uses (I think) four mics: one inside the piano, one near it, one in the 3rd or 4th row, and one in the back of the hall. He plays the piece, then he gets his engineer to cross-fade among those mics to smoothly change the amount of reverberation for each segment of the piece.

* Mozart's Sonatina in C major. Since it was written for beginners, Gould plays it in the style of a beginner. :)

I don't think either are successful, but they are brilliant concepts. I wish more classical performers would take risks like that.

This was far & away one of my most cherished games.

Another aspect you didn’t mention was the cardboard keyboard overlay because the game used basically every key for something.

I wonder if muscle memory would kick in for me on this all these years later.
My SaaS has similar revenue and I've thought about selling to fund other projects. In the past year 3 large companies cold emailed me about selling - one of them twice from different departments, but after a bunch of emails back and forth none of them went through with it (I've been asking for 5-10x yearly revenue)

I'm not sure if I'm asking for too much or if they're on a fishing expedition, but for now I'm content just running things myself and growing revenue.
I make it a habit not to bet. But if I were a betting man I'd take you up on that. Hacking personal computers is a huge blackmarket industry and it costs society a lot of money. The average person (i.e. not you or me) don't even know they've been hacked and are just joined to some botnet without their knowledge. But a hacked computer is a hacked computer and if the hacker want's the bitcoin wallet they can get it.

Good luck getting the bitcoin back after that.

That's naively idealistic. In unstable political environments when someone with power and weapons wants your property he'll just take it. No one cares about "truth". And they can use threats of violence or imprisonment to force people to update any property registry to their liking.
Before "full stack" was invented that used to be spread out across 2 or more jobs, you'd have frontend people, backend people, maybe database people, maybe even designers in addition to the front end people.

I wonder what reasonable rights we can have to protect workers. At will employment sounds like a good idea on paper (employee can quit anytime they want), but it is assymetric, especially when large corporations are involved (employee is easily replaceable and so impact of quitting is less on corporation). Perhaps we should have at will employment for small corporations and then private unions for larger corporations? The unions will increase bargaining power of employees which could mitigate the issues brought up in the article.
Doesn't seem likely that they even need to remove it. An F-117 was shot down over Yugoslavia using a modified microwave oven as a lure, and an antiquated Soviet-era anti-aircraft system. Its remains were handed over to the Russians _and_ the Chinese. TL/DR: the nations that we're worried about having the low-RCS paint already have the paint, and whatever was secret about it is secret no longer.

One of the comments has a great point: "You won't get THAT much cash for it, and you might end up at a engineering job that doesn't suit you, with golden handcuffs so you don't leave."
Centralized intermediaries are only trustworthy as long as they’re incentivized to be truthful. If another party comes along and offers them a bag of cash, the intermediary might choose to betray its clients’ trust.

Decentralized miners, on the other hand, are highly incentived to tell the truth, because it’s the only way they can collect fees.

You’re right that you have to pay for the truth either way; the difference is that the decentralized approach gives you stronger guarantees.
I debated this with a co-worker the other day. His opinion was that no matter what the reason for firing an employee, the employer can always justify it by citing performance or budgetary concerns. So the protections would be rendered useless.

How's it work in Norway? They usually do a good job of making Americans look silly when we say "that can't work because..."
If you know which of the three or four tickets are scarce (something that could easily be determined by a few enthusiasts online by collating their ticket data), winning a grand prize is as simple as buying more McDonalds until you have the tickets to complete the set.

It seems like the stronger a proponent of progressive ideals you are, the more likely you are to be pilloried for some minor transgression.

(As an aside, this article linked from yours https://www.forbes.com/sites/ruchikatulshyan/2015/01/30/raci... states a correlation between racial, ethnic and gender diversity and company performance. I wonder to what degree this is infuenced by the fact that many high-performing companies are tech companies which now fervently pursue diversity as a goal in itself?)

I was a hiring manager once. The mere mention of "off the beaten path" languages on the candidate's resume signaled one thing to me: that the guy is willing to put in the effort and learn something new. That gives you a leg up over the horde of other folks who, all other things being somewhat equal, don't really give a shit about their craft.

I still struggle to characterize "diversity of thought" in a way that is actionable by an institutional hiring process. I had a former colleague with whom I initially clashed. Only when realizing that he approached problems very differently than me (I could solve problems that he struggled with and he effortlessly solved problems that completely stomped me) did I realize that we needed to work together all the time.

The only time I screamed at my management was the day he was laid off. The organization never recovered.

Not as big as the bitcoin market but corda's growing[0] use for forwards contracts between parties[1].

Though it seems like this is an instance of blockchain "like our current financial system, with intermediaries and trust and regulation", but with cost/time savings by reducing the amount of humans involved in the transaction reconciliation process.

If you believe this is about pedantry and the literal meaning of words, you’ve missed my point. However, you’re speaking to it: the commenter used the phrase “statistically speaking” to indicate their confidence in their assertion. I’m taking issue with the fact that they used the phrase - which, as you say, is strong enough to describe the way taller people are better at basketball - to generalize that Clojure developers are more likely to be qualified than JavaScript developers.

Idiomatically, any way you use the phrase implies great confidence in the corresponding claim. But I have not seen any substantial explanation of why this effect makes sense, which makes me extremely suspicious that the effect exists at all. I don’t particularly care about whether they’ve conducted a peer reviewed study. I care about whether or not their heuristic is backed by anything empirical. “I’ve noticed this...” doesn’t cut it, no matter how fast and loose you want to play with the literal meaning of the word in context.
Indeed. I think harassing people because you disagree with their political, religious, favorite flavor of skittle, etc is nasty. We need to have some class as the entire country is running towards identity politics like it's a good thing.
