I'm not sure what "properly configured" means but ES has huge array of options for search which something simple like MATCH (title,body) AGAINST ('database' IN NATURAL LANGUAGE MODE) can't even begin to coming close to cover. Look at their docs, there are literally hundreds of options, dozens of search modes, dozens of analyzers and filters, scoring configurations, and so on and so forth. I am not familiar specifically with Postgres but I highly doubt Postgres supports all that or even a serious part of that - at least natively.

What I see at your zombodb link is just a way to make Postgres proxy requests to ES - complete with ES syntax and/or Query DSL. The only difference is that instead of connecting to ES directly you connect to Postgres and then add "SELECT" thing in front of your ES Query DSL. If it makes something easier, fine, but it's not "Postgres full text over ES".
It's a neat idea if you can keep a high wage job, and move to a low wage area. Otherwise I fear its impossible for most.
At which point you can retire in the Bay Area and keep the roommates, move somewhere else, or aim for a few million to stay in the area.
Why would you retire in the Bay Area?
Personally I enjoy the Cranial Nerve Exams and some of the unintentional asmr videos such as Sequoya by Lucas Paakh, the infamous T.M Lewin suit fitting video and that video on the Alexander Technique.

Disclaimer: Mid 30s, on the FIRE path, tech gig, real estate investor, all that jazz.
Sounds miserable -- maybe just get a job you enjoy instead of eating lentils every day so that you can squirrel away an extra $3 into a retirement account?

Either way, enjoy watching your plan to get rich doing nothing crash and burn when this bubble pops in 2 years lol

Michel Foucault has some interesting thing to say on this, in the context of his study of the carceral system ("Discipline & Punish").
Step 1: earn a million dollars.
Dear friend, I must apologise. When we produced this video as the first step in our grand plan for the genocide of the white American race, that detestable vermin, we had no idea that it would be quite so successful. Indeed, the invention of the 'world wide web', formulated by European neo-Marxists to ensnare your bold nation's brightest minds in warrens of filth and depravity, enjoyed a success beyond our wildest imaginings. And here we are! The horror has come full circle. Enjoy the hell you have built for yourself
So this is one issue I, like a lot of engineer types no doubt, have been contemplating for some time. Goals differ depending on who you talk to. This article talks about in one's 30s with $1m in the bank.

By the 4% rule that will generate you $40,000 a year. There are a lot of places in the US you can live on that. It gets more difficult with kids but not impossible. It's not what I'd call a retirement lifestyle I'd want however.

Indeed the article mentions working at Starbucks and I imagine for these folks there's a lot of this. I wouldn't call this retirement as such, I'd call it semi-retirement (which is fine).

Speaking of Starbucks, it mentions the real big problem with retiring early in the US: health insurance. I really don't see a good way around this. It's also why many countries are popular for US retirees (notably Costa Rica, Mexico and more recently Ecuador).

Now I'm Australian so I could go back and retire in Australia (I live in the US) but honestly I find that idea unappealing. Whereas there were parts of Australia that had a relatively low standard of living, those days are long over. Housing is ultra-expensive (particularly in the East Coast cities). Other expenses like utilities are expensive. Hell, electricity prices were a factor in recently toppling a sitting Prime Minister (fun fact: the last Australian PM to serve a whole term as PM was John Howard ending in 2007; there have been 4 coups since, 2 per major party).

Europe is an option. Not everyone has that option of course. And it varies a lot by country. Germany is a pretty nice compromise between being good for expats, being relatively low cost (compared to Switzerland, the UK or France at any rate). Some countries are relatively cheap now and have good climates like Portugal, Italy and Greece but are financially precarious.

Personally I'd like somewhere that's relatively inexpensive, safe/stable and with a good climate. The last one eliminates a lot of otherwise good options (eg Canada).

The US has a lot of affordable cities still (eg Atlanta). The health insurance problem is a huge risk/cost though.
Friends and family mostly. Also the food and weather are hard to beat.
Detroit, Buffalo, Youngstown, Ohio and Houston, Texas in 20 years when electric cars own 50% own the road. You would do very nicely.
Saving 60% of your salary above a standard of living cost for 8-10 years appears to be the key.

Whether you increase income, cut spending, or both, software devs are well positioned to do this, especially dual income.

There's lots more to read on this topic than a single article and it shouldn't be used to bash down the relevancy of learning financial literacy.

I watched it a couple of times; to me, it looks like an animal grazing. Don't know the geography there, so can't verify if this area has animals living in mountain.
Move to central or south america, take cheap flights a few times a year back to the Bay. You'll still come out ahead.

Depth-First Search (DFS) Interview Questions and Practice Problems
"They saved a sizable portion of their income over the next five years and drastically reduced expenses, until their net worth was around $1.2 million. "

Every millennial retires early story always has a unique anecdote like this. How exactly do you save $1.2 million over five years on 110K a year? Did he already have 800K in the bank before learning about early retirement? Is his wife a highly paid executive or doctor?

"Because his wife currently works, they have yet to draw on those accounts."

Some important information is missing here.

Also, while I don't think FIRE is impossible or unattainable, lean FIRE practitioners are gonna get walloped in the gut when we hit a nasty bear market after a decade of markets pushed higher by crazy monetary policy.
wonderful summary of NYC
> Microsoft is also a large, if not the largest, contributor to Linux & Open source.

I always hear things like this. What exactly are they contributing though?

> Windows has maintained a level of compatibility second to none to support all that legacy

As far as I can tell, if you want to run a legacy Windows app, you're more likely to be successful running it in Wine on Linux.
Comparison of text editing methods
Yup, clearly visible on full-screen at 2650x1440; in windowed standard YouTube size I couldn't spot it either. Doesn't look like a compression artifact to me (though there is an artificial-looking jump at the exact moment the camera/drone rotates).
I'd be interested to learn how much additional energy is required, presumably that's the trade off.
I don’t get why Tesla added the self driving stuff at all. Just seems like a lot of wasted investment that keeps the price of the car high. They could have released a much cheaper model 3 without it, and likely deal with less bad press from their cars killing their owners.
I’m 28, from Europe, have worked for a well known large tech company in Silicon Valley for over 4 years (and a few startups before that). I currently have a bit under $500k “in the bank” (mix of cash, stock, bonds, index funds). I intend to leave tech in 2 years when - according to my current savings rate - I’ll be a bit under $750k.

I intend to travel and do my own thing for a year or three, and then go into teaching (primary school). I’ve worked with kids in various settings since I was 17, so I know it’s something I love doing. The goal is for my saved income to be an additional safety net/reservoir of money for buying a home in addition to my potential teaching salary.

Outside of Silicon Valley, I can live under $30k a year, which will be roughly 4% of my total savings. Not super aggressive, but not super conservative either.

The way I see it, tech will have (ideally) provided a very healthy jumping point to my subsequent non tech career. I think that’s the way to do it, because I honestly can’t see myself starting a family with my current workload/obligations/etc. Working remote is a distant option, but not super appealing for some reason.

I’ve been writing software since I was 12, I don’t intend to stop - just that after a bit under a decade in the tech industry, I realize it doesn’t match my ideals in the ways that teaching does.

Plus, I figure I can keep contributing to open source etc with the summers off and what not.

Who knows, maybe this is very idealistic, and I will fail miserably and in 5 years I will be begging for my job back - but at least I tried, and I think with my experience and resume I won’t have too much of a hard time getting employed in tech again.

Some of my friends in SF are surprised at how much I’ve saved in that time. I’ve certainly made sacrifices - not going to Tahoe every other weekend in the winter, cooking at home more often than going out for overpriced SF restaurants, etc.- but I don’t feel like I’ve had to particularly deprived myself. I do have the luxury of having gone to school in Europe and paid as a TA/RA in the US, so I have no school debt - certainly a privilege.

Just another anecdata point in case it is useful to anyone. Happy to answer any questions - i feel like money talk is still kind of taboo and should be discussed more openly.
The guy on the article retired in his 40's.

"On Tuesday, March 10, 2017, Mr. Jensen called his boss and gave notice after 15 years at the company. He wasn’t quitting, exactly. He had retired. He was 43."
I have two kids, and when I'm not in court with the ex for stupid reasons, my costs of living are about $75K in a very expensive city. It's completely doable, given the huge bull run on the indexes of the last decade.
Without reading the article, $1M isn't nearly enough to retire on at 30, unless you have some disease that will kill you before you're 45.
Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression
In first world countries it's not difficult at all given two conditions.

1. You have a good job (probably - but not necessarily - a professional job)

2. You are willing to spend less money than other people.

And in fact, point 2 is way more important than point 1.

The secret to having more money is not to earn more, it's to spend less.

I'm 36 and I have quit and done what I wanted twice in my life now - once for 2 years I drove AK-Argentina, now I'm well over 2 years driving around Africa. Before both jaunts I earned a mere fraction of what Bay area salaries appear to be. Before Argentina my salary was $48k CAD.

The trick is simply to spend less. Don't upgrade your phone (or don't even have one), don't eat out. Walk or ride to work, no TV, no Netflix, etc. etc. Pretty soon you'll find you have way more money than you actually need, and you can choose to work either part time, or not work at all for a while.

If you were willing to put in 10-15 years of this frugal life, you'd have enough money to never work again, easily.

EDIT: Because everyone always asks how I do it, I wrote a book about how I do this with my life: http://theroadchoseme.com/work-less-to-live-your-dreams
I recently realized that I am using (overusing) text-chat to compensate for a lack of real face to face interaction. As such I have deleted all my instant messaging accounts, in an attempt to force myself to face the loneliness and get out and meet people. (Also eliminated YouTube and surfing, for the same reason.)

So far, I'm just really sad and lonely, but that's a good thing, because I was already feeling that way, I was just suppressing it with technology.

I'm checking out communities in my area that meet up regularly. Most of my friends hang out very rarely, and I'd like to meet people and join organizations that meet up on a regular basis.

Also have been working on my social skills and limiting beliefs: learning to make small talk, remember people's names, and recognizing unkind thoughts about myself, which create anxiety and prevent me from beginning or continuing conversations -- and choosing to think kinder, more constructive thoughts instead.

The big "aha" moment for me was realizing, there was an age for me (about 9 years old) when I wasn't shy at all! Because I didn't have all these shitty beliefs about myself. So I've been exploring them, and letting them go.
But why? Yes, you can make all languages start queries with SELECT. In fact, for graph DBs you have SPARQL (which looks exactly like SQL if you squint a bit), and Elastic has its own SQL interface. But what happened to best tool for the job? Why try to shoehorn a relational database language into dealing with data that are not relational tables in their nature, instead of using approaches that work better?

I mean, I understand there's a use case where it can be useful, such as SQL query builders or APIs that support only SQL, but in general case when you don't need one interface to rule them all, what's the use of shoehorning everything into SQL?
Stock price and home appreciation probably had a lot to do with it, but that does seem like a very short time horizon.
Step 1: make about $110,000 a year, apparently. Then, save a lot of it up. Amazing.

Also, his wife is still working?
Why are touchscreens in cars touted as innovation? They are a usability disaster. It is much easier to, say, change the A/C power when the control is a physical control I can reach for and identify by touch.
So obviously this isn't really a guide about how to retire at age 30. But the key message to take from the article is to live within your means with a strict budget. And if you can't live within your means, be prepared to move to another part of your country with more affordable housing and lower expenses.
You should never travel on rural roads without a verifiably working satellite radio (or personal locator beacon) in the worst case scenario. For communication, I travel with my main cell phone, a backup cell phone / wireless hotspot with a completely different provider (T-Mobile + Verizon, lately), a satellite communicator (several links posted in this thread that will work just fine), flares and high-intensity LED road lights that have constant + SOS flashing patterns, two high-intensity flashlights, and a high-powered green laser pen for alternative forms of signaling.

Additionally, you should obviously carry plenty of food, potable water, basic medical supplies including a round of antibiotics, tire inflation/repair devices, a multipurpose sharp knife, two long-lasting external batteries for your USB devices that can also jumpstart a car (super cheap on Amazon, surprisingly), and potentially a firearm if you're into that kind of thing and trained to use it. Standard prepper checklists will work here.

It sounds like a lot, but even semi-rural travel 15-20 miles off marked and standard roads are dangerous as hell, as this story and others clearly can show. You will almost certainly never need all of your equipment, but if you travel even occasionally, you will absolutely need some of it - and you won't be able to predict which piece of gear you do need. It's about being prepared for a wide variety of events, not one severe event.

Nature doesn't cooperate.

EDIT: Forgot, pack a basic set of tools: Screwdriver with various bits, socket wrench (ideally with an extension), car jack, pliers, length of wire, length of rope, aim-and-flame extension lighter (vastly preferred to a handheld cigarette lighter and not any more expensive; get a flexible shaft if you want to be fancy and shell out an extra $2), tire iron (add a breaker bar, probably), and a stack of kindling, which can simply be a bunch of old or free newspapers.
Good point. Over that period, you probably could cash out on a house in Boulder and make a pretty easy 500K+ if you were lucky enough to purchase before the great weed deluge.
Yes, what could go wrong
Lol it's 100% mass hysteria ( "contagious anxiety" )

EVEN if it wasn't, it WOULD be in part. We KNOW it would infect people who weren't actually interfered with through this magic.

So media..... an example of a story that would be believable would be we think x% were affected and y% was through "contagious anxiety".
The opium epedemic and wars drove the Chinese economy into the ground.

Also check out the Emacs packages interleave or org-noter (they have similar functionality): they give you a good way of taking notes on pdfs (linking the notes to positions within the pdf).
What is the music industry's product though? The musician? Or just the marketing? Certainly not the music, they show no respect for the music.

To be clear, I think you are right, people want the product. Just I think the music industry product is actually facilitating groupthink about popularity. Even then they have a 99 in 100 failure rate.

It used to be about distribution. Seems pretty clear (from anecdata) that artists these days selling independently or even on platforms like bandcamp (which is awesome) make more on a couple hundred sales than artists with record companies make on a couple thousand.

And i think you are right that innovation won't help them. Or at least, this is actually the way they innovate.. Through bullying and legislation. And to that end, I hope they go to hell.
Let me be precise: I would do nothing but encourage ANYONE to be financially literate.

However, I did not feel this article did that. If anything, it portrayed the FIRE group as "those weird nerds who find that number stuff cool." (which, while not necessarily incorrect for some of us, seems to bury the lede that ANYONE can take learnings from this)

What I felt was _lacking_ were the breadcrumbs (outside of the token reddit reference) towards financial literacy. I've seen far better introductions in that respect than this article. (In that vein I'd namedrop bogleheads as well, if anyone reading this is looking for other avenues)

I would also note that saving 60% of your salary for 10 years will only set it up if you're making well over the median US household income, which was a component of my original point.
He who wants nothing has everything.
...And you can get a 6502 board for it as well.
You've made those claims, yes.

The distance between cause and effect is great. 14 years is long enough for a child to be conceived and start attending high school. That's not insignificant.

My points were:

That on a long enough timeline, everything fails. Which I illustrated by showing that everyone who has drank water has died or will die in a specific time frame.

You need to see where you're wrong as well as where you're right. Which I illustrated by pointing out every divorce begins in marriage. It's technically true, but marriage holds no predictive power because plenty of marriages succeed. For something to be a sign, it needs to be common in one group and rare in another. So giving up horoscopes needs to be common in failed magazines and rare in successful ones.

And something I didn't really illustrate too well: it needs to have a strong correlation both ways. In other words not only do the vast majority of magazines that give up horoscopes need to fail, the vast majority of magazines that fail need to give up horoscopes.

And the lifespan of the average publication must be far greater than 14 years. Or even a decade using your timetable. Because if most publications fail within that time, then you could literally point to anything and call it a sign.

All of it needs to be true.
There's a link to one of the IEEE articles here https://spectrum.ieee.org/semiconductors/devices/how-we-reve...

with a recording of sounds recorded at the embassy and their attempts to reproduce it. To me the microwave theory seems a better fit.
Too bad normal people can't read the SQL standard without spending a huge amount of money. I just looked it up, and it looks like picking up all the ISO/IEC 9075 2016 specs would end up costing CHF1762 ($1819.09 in USD).

Developers are also unable to become involved or voice their concerns in any meaningful way without spending an even larger amount of money to participate in their committees. Oh, and AFAIK all development happens behind closed doors, so good luck figuring out why certain design decisions were made.
Apple has 15%, not 45%. So it's 5-8x, not 22x. And the original quote appears to be about all phones, not just smartphones, so the factor would in fact be even lower.
He's just a stay-at-home parent. It's a completely conventional thing. Let me go ask my Mom how she "retired" at 25 and lived off her savings (and also Dad's wages).

I think the point is that `&TraitFoo` would never be expected - that there was no way to have that be the type of a term in the first place? I don't think that can reasonably be said to be true in the days of impl trait though.
The readme says the license is:

Does anyone know what the "special linking exception" is? I've heard of a linking exception before with GPL essentially making it LGPL. But I wonder how this "special" exception is related.
After trying different things over the years, I wrote this:

http://onemodel.org (yes I plan to move to https sometime)

You can think of it something like a personal wiki + emacs org-mode, using postgres, but with a much larger vision than today's features, including sharing (linking/copying) between instances, and computability of the info. The most current code is in github (AGPL). Comments/questions very welcome, preferably via the mailing list; be patient if my answers are slow. Announcements list is low-volume.

Edit: it can store files, but isn't especially smooth about it (yet). For personal notes of all kinds, it is the most efficient, effective, flexible thing I know of.

Edit: the FAQs link to a discussion comparing it with emacs org-mode and others.

Edit: it has built-in text search, and some finicky but very functional import/export.
