(Timescale engineer here) We are an extension on top of Postgres and not a whole new DBMS. That means that we inherit a lot of the reliability / stability of Postgres (critically we do not change the WAL/data on disk format which leads to the fact that even as a young database we don't loose data). What we provide on top of Postgres are significant optimization aimed at time-series data. Postgres is optimized for relational data, and it requires significant work to optimize it for time-series data workloads on both the insert and query side.

TimescaleDB provides automatic, adaptive partitioning of time-series tables to make management of time-series tables both easier and more efficient. We add new time-based analytical functions as well as improve query planning and optimization.

Exactly. That’s extortion, not a free market.
It's a reasonable analogy, but I gather that the regulatory demands are currently much higher for small cannabis producers. A close relative of mine is a small-scale producer and the restrictions, price drop, and delays from the legalization process have been making it hard for them to stay in business. Hopefully it gets worked out soon because I'd love for the ecosystem to end up looking like microbreweries, but I fear that it'll end up being more like other agribusinesses.

At Newsweek/The Daily Beast we used Adobe AEM which was very powerful. It had a flexible JCR-based content model and component based content editor. At the time (5 years ago) it had very little in the way of a content API so we had to build our own solution. We actually used our Content API with Rhino (Java js runtime) to render DustJS templates server-side. This server side rendering we built there inspired aspects of our Static Site Generator. Being able to load a project's GraphQL schema in memory allows us to improve caching when generating a large site.

The content modeling an initial interface was heavily inspired by a CMS we used in our agency work called Webhook (http://www.webhook.com/). It was the first product we found which combined flexible content modeling with Static Site Generation. TakeShape goes one step further to provide a robust API that can be used with by the static site to enable dynamic experiences (think search, tag pages, user generated content).

As far as GraphQL we use Facebook's reference implementation (https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js). The challenge with TakeShape is that we allow users to define their own content types which in turn generates their own GraphQL schema. This makes using high-level server libraries like Apollo which assume a static schema challenging to use. GraphQL itself takes care of a lot of the content functionality on its own. The challenge was adding all the missing pieces like authorization, authentication, rate-limiting, access policies, data validation, etc.
Your premise is wrong - there's no contradiction between God and science.

A part to consider is whether the other party knew or should have known of a mistake.

It's not reasonable for FanDuel to assume a mistake there. However, if a customer purchased a bet on a game that had already happened it would be reasonable to assume a mistake had been made.

Mistakes happen and the law of contracts deals with them.
There will be cannabis companies operating at every level and style you see in the craft beer, alcohol and coffee markets. Like beer, for example, it will range from market crap sold at Walmart or CVS to mass market fake quality products (like the major brewer owned/fabricated craft beers) to quality big local brands to neighborhood growers to handmade boutique specialty products for gourmets and wealthy people. Of course, like everything else, the people with big money now will mainly be the ones making big money there because they have the money to invest and control everything else. But there’s vast opportunity for people in it now and everyone else on the way up.
That assumes that your manager has a reasonable process for prioritizing these kinds of requests, which is often half the battle. It also requires a manager that will go to bat for you and defend that process, even when the requester says "This is critical and time-sensitive, I don't have time for that, so can you just do it?"
As someone who writes basically only C++ and Python, that code looks like a nightmare.

If you're actually serious, I tip my hat to you. Usually when I've talked to people what you've outlined, their eyes glaze over.

So, if you are actually being truthful here, would you mind sharing when you first started out w/this? I mean did you always plan to do this and structure your business dealings accordingly or did you get your money and figure out what do after the fact-- which has never really made any sense to me, but is what I've always been told by the lawyers & accountants w/whom I spoke (I suspect because they make more money that way)?

Thanks...
I guess you should put the /sarcasm/ tag so that people can understand your point.

I'm 25, just got back from hiking in a somewhat remote part of Georgia (the country). Haven't read The Beach, but got a good sense of it from the article.

I think hiking culture, where you either camp or stay in people's homes as you move from village to village through the mountains, is one of the last/best ways to travel and stay disconnected. No cell service in a lot of these places, no room for a laptop in your backpack. Also, no party culture in these hostels, just appreciative eating of a simple meal at the end of a long dusty day of hiking. Read a book and record the day in your journal. Have a snickers bar and a few beers for dessert.

Lots of young people from eastern europe and israel doing the hikes in Georgia. No tour companies (yet), the infrastructure isn't good enough. Still, as you chat with other trailgoers, you realize that everyone is generally following the same webpage/guide because it's the only one on the internet. Georgia is on trend now and being marketed everywhere, so I expect the infrastructure to be built up similar to the way popular destinations in SE developed in the past 20 years. Quicker if they are able to join the EU.

Check out Switzerland if you're looking for a similar but less rugged experience, I did a 14 day hike there last year and can't recommend it highly enough. You can do it with wife/kids/managing a job for sure if you pick the right route. And easy to access from the UK.

To your other point - yes, I feel like time periods are condensing from war/early tech infrastructure-defined 20-30 year intervals where one author is able to capture a zeitgeist snapshot of their era, into a large gray mass/melting pot of media that tells all stories at once, but no specific story at all.

The meta story is one of globalization and blurring of identity, and a growing global middle class, where it's difficult to capture and affirm exactly what is going on because everything can and does change in an instant.

The modern-day equivalent might be a book about traveling Instagram influencers/festival goers living the jet set life between LA, NY, London, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Bombay, Ibiza, etc. This last line of the review is dark, but basically nails it:

What will the generation that reads the novel now, and those that come after them, find in its pages? They will find what generations before them found in the pages of F Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, as their protagonists drank and smoked and gazed at the landscapes of Italy, or Spain, or Africa: characters damaged by where they have come from, looking for release – or correction, or illumination – in strange new corners of the world and finding only disaffection, ugliness, self-absorption and ego.

Finding only the things they have brought with them.

Abstraction means to take the essence of something and try to display that. Figuring out how a crayon does look and feel is nothing like that. if the abstraction is taken from art itself and resubmitted self referentially as art that shows the performance (e.g. Pollock) or design and perception of proportions (e.g. Mondrian) then that reuqires having done some art before - I'm not totally convinced of their motives, but for sake of argument I would assume they underwent a considerable thought process of refinement. If a child does it as a novelty, it might achieve the same effect, but often not reproducibly - and reproduction is a huge factor of craft. Very correctly, if a child can do it, there's no high barrier to the reproduction. Although kids are free and random enough to be a huge source of inspiration.

> People actually think he is some alt-right figure,

He's a socially conservative figure, somewhat popular with the alt-right because social conservatism is a central feature of the alt-right (it may be “alt”, but it is still “right”), though his a commitment to Western liberal (in the classic sense) democracy gets him criticism on the alt-right (which is used to democracy at least in the Western liberal form.) Example of both the praise and criticism (focussed more on the latter) from a site which self-characterizes as being within the “reactionary rationalist” subset of the alt-right: https://greyenlightenment.com/sjws-and-democracy/
Sure, back when I was a kid, both were in common usage, and I used them freely and unknowingly into adulthood. So, I was quite taken aback to belatedly learn of their etymology three decades ago.

I'm happy to hear your data point that "gyp" may already have fallen into disuse; or did you mean that you now intend to start using it now to signal your non-PC-ness? If so, others that I recall hearing in childhood but not lately, which you might also consider adopting, include: "indian-giver" (one who reneges), "jewing down" (bargaining excessively), "n....r work" (which seemed to mean "hanging around and not working" back in the day, but now Urban Dictionary has it as "easy, repetitive work").
No, but more or less of that era. What was really interesting about it was that while I think there had been some dubious tactics to lure people to the product (before my time), the team I was on legitimately wanted to create a useful / valuable product for customers. Ironically, in the course of doing that it drove customers away as they became aware that they had signed up for this thing they had completely forgotten about. So in the course of making right with customers, that $50+MM/year stream disappeared from the company. There's a business lesson or two in there somewhere, but I'm not sure I like what it might say.

I think some of my mechatronics hobby projects (CNC and small robotics mainly) have been some of my most satisfying. There is nothing quite as satisfying as getting the the last bit wired up, and then the last line of code right, and having something come to life in the real world, reaching past the pixels and into physical reality.

When I studied recording in college in the early 1990s, I got to play with a Calrec Soundfield ambisonic mic. It was astoundingly cool. We were working with all sorts of other stereo mic techniques (XY, Blumlein, etc), and it just smoked them all for "realness".
Designing and building safe roads costs money. Of course that money should be raised primarily from taxes. But that doesn't remove the need to punish dangerous driving (red light running can still happen even on the safest street). I would personally rather pay a fine than go to jail or spend the day in the stocks and pillory.
I got a portable keyboard for this from amazon a couple months ago. It folds to the same dimensions as my phone, except thicker. However, it's got... details. For example, I can't put the keyboard on my lap and type because it will fold. It doesn't have locks to keep it unfolded. They also changed the keyboard layout in a weird way. My number keys are exactly one key to the right, which makes mistakes common when touch typing. I also got '|' next to the Control key. Also, some letter keys are slightly leaner than others which shifts some keys of some rows slightly and causes me to hit 2 keys at once.

Man, back in the days of the Palm, there were better portable keyboards than now. I wish someone made the exact same design but made to work with bluetooth or at least usb.

I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that the probability or rate (or expected time) of metastasizing varies a lot depending on the type of the tumor. (I looked into this a bit when I was diagnosed; it was more or less likely to metastasize within a somewhat short time, depending on the exact type of the tumor.)

I'm sure the immunosuppressants needed after a transplant would increase the risk in any case.
As someone who really enjoys beer, isn't part of the reason for that because of the incredible variety of styles and flavors that can be achieved with beer? It's such a versatile medium with a large range of quality differences.

But as someone also who has never smoked pot or been that interested in it - is it anything like that at all? Or is the experience pretty generic (other than the obvious quality differences)?
Evernote. Bear.
Often I will do some prototyping with scikit-learn and then write my own implementation in numpy / scipy for something that goes into production. But I have used scikit-learn in production as well without issue. I have used MATLAB a bit and it is quite nice for figuring things out / prototyping. But the issue I have with it is that it's not typically intended for production software. So then you often need to reimplement your MATLAB code in whatever "platform" language you're using. That's why I've largely transitioned away from MATLAB.
> The benefit for a daily payment is pretty low compared to the costs.

Agreed. I can't imagine having to balance my checking account with a daily transaction. It would be much harder to catch an error or a one-off when you didn't get paid too. Is my mortgage going to start deducting daily too? Both those things seem insane.

Also you are limited to 6 ACH transactions a month to a savings or money market account.
if you want to, there are at least a couple flavors of parallel bresenham - is not particularly tricky on the face of it. you do have to be super careful with your arithmetic so that tasks end up mapping to unique pixels. and yeah, you have to be in an environment where task creation overhead is effectively 0 for it to make sense.

It depends on what your field is. If you're writing any form of async code that uses futures, Rust is still firmly in the dark ages. I'm being told there is preliminary async/await support on nightly, but it won't be on stable this year.
I had my account closed by a major betting site shortly after winning (and withdrawing) a few hundred euro, multiplying the original stake by around 10x in a series of bets.

These companies operate completely arbitrarily, and they really hate winners of course.

You need to show ID when entering the event that matches the ticket.

This is how a popular music festival does it in Germany to prevent scalping. There is no way to transfer tickets to other persons. Instead you can refund tickets up to a week before the festival which then go back into the lottery.
It's more engineering than science (especially considering the manifold shortcomings of mic capsules and preamplification electronics), but yes, it's real. I heard early analog systems over 25 years ago, and they were shocking. They were also a bazillion dollars then, with a dedicated box to discombobulate all the phase stuff. The sort of thing that's really easy to do digitally now...

It was said that court decides, legal contract is thus ambiguous.
Yea, that was the value add I saw in the article. I wonder if they could provide that service more modestly and apart from the timing as a pure insurance.

You agree to take a fee on your check in exchange for being paid the amount owed when the employer cuts the check or when your contract dictates you'd be paid by, ignoring bad actors, mistakes, slow processing or bankruptcy. This is also a portion of our legal system that may just need more transparency and government assurances.
I'm thinking a simple geographical map, with lines drawn so they overlap (where there are multiple lines/routes on the same segment).

When faced with spacious word limits during my freelance writing gigs I often go off on a wild tangent to fill in the quota. This one time I was asked to write about diabetes and found myself mentioning Okinawa centegenerians, soy cooking oil and forced swimming tests done on rats. It turned out interesting in the end.
I find that to be logical, as it seems like it would be incredibly difficult to dis-entangle an observer from the minute fluctuation and relationships with every other bit of energy in the universe.
Oh thank god, we saved ourselves six characters! And the only thing we sacrificed is knowing for sure whether we're accessing an object's property, or calling a method!
> First, you are intentionally limiting the scope of my claim. "Unforgiving" is just a synonym of "harsh", "challenging" or "adversarial", not about actual person forgiving someone.

I wasn't being fully literal, either: when someone makes enough mistakes in life to deplete their private resources, they seek "forgiveness" in either handouts or in finding some new unusual opportunity to ply. It is, at worst, narrow terminology.

> Second, your logical proof is wrong. The existence of resource scarcity in the global scale does not mean the global resource scarcity, some places may have enough resources.

Such local situations are self-removing; if a good is locally in such sharp surplus as to be post-scarce, then the only logical action is to export it to somewhere else, as such post-scarcity is such an extreme condition that the price differential will certainly outweigh almost any terrestrial transit costs.

(Notable exception: one disadvantage of the Soviet economy was that it sometimes required supplies be post-scarce in their own production facilities or warehouses but ultra-scarce elsewhere.)

Where this kills me is ambiguous commas.

something = [ alpha beta, gamma ]

I have no idea if I just invoked alpha(beta, gamma) and put the result into a single-member array, or if I've got an array with two elements - alpha(beta) and gamma.
The idea of a GC reporting to a CFO is a lunacy. It is like a controller reporting to a CRO.

Edit: I am fascinated by the downvote.

The job of GC is to prevent a company from doing things that would create legal issues for the company. Both CEO and CFO have a reason to push the company to take risks, including legal risks. Neither should be able to fire the GC. Therefore GC should report to the board of directors not to the CEO and definitely not to the CFO.

The job of a controller is to oversee accounting. The top level person who is likely to engage in creative accounting is the head of sales/chief revenue officer. Controller reporting to the CRO creates an incentive of a controller to take CRO positions rather than purely accounting positions. Therefore controller should either report to CFO or CEO.
Maybe it is different for me then?

I'd definitely describe my flow state as much less about characters and more a synesthesia-eque mental visualization of data structures and interfaces.
Thanks, the data isn't in GTFS, and loading it isn't an issue as it's GeoJSON. What I'm mainly looking for is overlaying routes on a map, and being able to export that as PDFs once I'm done.

There is Vector Tiles Reader plugin [1], but it doesn't render fonts on QGIS 3 at the moment. I was able to use it with a map server to add a vector base map, and overlay my routes and stops (although still missing the offsetting bit).
