No, that's an misinformed, all-or-nothing, gross-mischaracterization.

Data management systems are a toolbox.

The core tenent, distilling ACID, of RDBMSes is referential integrity: that what a foreign key points to can't simply disappear and leave a dangling reference. If you have a database of customers and their orders, you want orders destroyed with that customer, and the referring customer can't simply vanish. There are several delete dependent policies, depending on the use-case.

Key-Value stores (NoSQL) typically make no such guarantees. KVSes and Document store are fantasic for less critical and more nondeterministic data like user profiles, likes and tags... things that don't matter as much, as say, bank accounts transactions. Only a fool would use eventual consistency where it could be gamed by making maximum simulateneous withdrawls of say a $1000 at multiple locations. This is where atomicity and consistency are very important.

Use the right underlying data guarantees for the task at hand... not like a consulting company whom tried to turn a DBMS into a NoSQL by having a single database table store everything. IIRC the columns looked like this:

Key | Value | Type | Notes

Good luck indexing that pile of slow, and say hello to full-table scans for nearly every fetch.
I certainly don't want Tesla or SpaceX to fail. Nor do I want Elon to fail however he screwed up big time as the CEO of a major, public corporation and should be held accountable like everyone else. Celebrities, even ones trying to make the world a better place, shouldn't get a pass.

My personal opinion is Elon should find someone to run Tesla. He proved good electric cars can be built, but now we need someone to turn Tesla into Toyota to spread good electric cars to the masses. Given his behavior, missed manufacturing targets, etc I don't think he is the right person to do that. If the SEC wins, Elon being forced out may be a blessing in disguise.
In the US, you're not supposed to say anything publicly that can manipulate the stock price. For a person in Elon Musk's position, it is incredibly easy to drum up hype about a stock from a public media source (in this case, Twitter) then secretly sell off stock at the higher price causing it to dip further than it was at before. This is called pump and dumping and is very illegal in the United States (read up on The Great Depression and the stock crash of 1929 for more information).
He was trying to bankrupt the short-sellers, and he was doing it by lying: the price would soar, their options would be called, and they'd lose their shirts, all for a lie. When you're head of a public company, that's a crime. Not only will the SEC come after him, but the short sellers can probably sue him too. I have huge respect for his engineering ability, but he has messed up badly. He's overextended and it seems his conduct lately shows that he's melting down from overwork.
> Please enlighten me on how you intend to change the blocksize in everyone else's client?

By convincing them to do so, in the same way that every other change to bitcoin is made? Or, alternatively, implement my changes via a soft fork, get half the hash power, and start orphaning people. Segwit, for example, was a major change to the bitcoin protocol, deployed via exactly this same strategy.

> The correct action was taken to do nothing, since it was too controversial to force one opinion on everyone

Segwit was very controversial as well. Don't for a second pretend like it wasn't. Lots of people disagree with it. Perhaps not a majority, but a large amount did. And yet segwit was activated and exist today. It was literally a soft fork blocksize increase that was forced on people who disagreed.

And before someone brings up the whole "soft fork, vs hardfork", I'd like to point out that segwit itself was a soft fork blocksize increase. Blocksize increases do not require hardforks. some methods of increasing the blocksize do, but there are many ways to do the same thing that segwit did, and increase the blocksize via a softfork.

So if you really want to be technical, the way that I would increase the blocksize a second time, is to create a second softfork blocksize increase, convince 51% of the hashpower to include the change, and then orphan all blocks that don't use the new changes.

At this point it doesn't matter if some people refuse to install the software. Soft forks are backward compatible, and all past nodes would follow, unless they specifically decide to hard fork away to stop the soft fork.

If you want proof that a blocksize increase can be done with a soft fork, go google "Extension blocks". It was a soft fork blocksize increase, created by Joseph Poon, the Lighting Network inventor. If you do believe that I am credible on the topic of soft fork blocksize increases, then surely you should believe that the inventor of the lightning network is credible.
Let’s be real then. Tesla is actually attempting to ramp energy storage and EVs as fast as possible. No one else is even trying. Nissan has sold 300k Leafs in 7 years. Tesla sells that many EVs in a year at their current run rate. Ford isn’t even going to sell sedans in the US anymore, only low gas mileage trucks. The president of Fiat Chrysler asked people not to buy their EVs, as they lost money on each one. The Volt isn’t a vehicle worth arguing about (Chevrolet has only sold 100k of them, ever). The Model 3 is even outselling all BMW sedan sales. Just the Model 3, not including the S and X.
i do know how the repl works. i explicitly tried it out. i defined the function just as i said and ran

It actually does disallow various type coercion operations that you can do in JS, even when they're arguably useful. For example `1 == "1"` doesn't typecheck:

https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/index.html#src=const%20x...

So while there are still things like truthy/falsy values, the type system is stronger (not just static) in some sense compared with JS.

All parents and responses to my posts are probably right, and I'm probably wrong!

My experiences aren't wrong, of course, but it's an apples to oranges comparison. My IT MSP is only small to medium sized businesses (as I think all IT MSPs are since Enterprise level environments don't contract out it and hire their own department - this is an educated guess). We do very little Enterprise work and have no single client with more than 300 users.

However, I will defend my position and consumer grade ubiquitis on a (significant) technicality. Higher models beyond what my company sells are not cost effective. Buying higher grade waps at no less than double the price is more expensive than just running cables. If you WANT to make everyone get 200mbps wifi, you will pay for it, but that's a convenience you pay for, not a requirement. UAP-AC-Pros are perfectly capable of handing out up to 50mbps pipes to multiple endpoints without huge (or even medium) upfront capital investments, overheating or DB problems. In my opinion, just run cat6 lines. Itll be cheaper than spending thousands on Enterprise waps for only 30 people.

This is where that whole "blocksize debate" turns out to have been worth discussing.

A sudden increase in demand for BTC will send the fees through the roof because of it's tiny 1mb blocksize. The same increase in demand will result in ~ 1/32 the increase in fees. This is due to BCH's 32mb block size.

Which is exactly it. Folks here and elsewhere refer to it as "...obviously a joke". No, it's not so obvious, because if you joke about such things the SEC will nail your ass to the wall. And hence my consideration of purchase. Were the SEC not to follow through, well, what are they going to say when the next joker says, "j/k"?

I have a passing outsider's knowledge of Chilean history and I think it's worth noting that Chile stands out among South American nations in how thoroughly it eradicated and assimilated the indigenous populations.

Once upon a time (even up to the latter part of the 20th century) that would have been considered by most in the West[1] as a laudable achievement, and in Chile it still largely is considered so, AFAIU. Not the eradication of indigenous people's per se (which is conveniently glossed over or minimized), but in the social equality wrought by the strong cultural homogenization through waves of immigration.

But the West in the 21st century has put much more value on diversity and on preserving cultural and ethnic identities, calling into question the morality of Chilean national identity. In other Andean nations skin tone is still very much a thing; not necessarily negative--i.e. being more brown isn't necessarily negative--but nonetheless something that can figure prominently in both social and friendly discourse.

Just thought I'd mention it. Not trying to cast value judgments, but it's worthwhile to note that Chile is very much in a different place than the rest of the West in how it contextualizes these issues.

[1] Chile being politically and culturally Western no less than France or the U.S.

The crippled nature of Python's lambdas are a big weakness of Python. They sit in a no-mans land of providing half a solution but being too crippled to actually to clarity / improve programming style.

I much prefer languages that go all the way and give you full integration like Ruby, ES6 and Groovy. For example, in Groovy closures just blend completely into the language:

[1,2,3,4,5].grep { it > 3 }.collect { it * 5 }

Compare to python is almost incomprehensible:

map(lambda y: y * 5, filter(lambda x: x > 3, [1,2,3,4,5]))

But breaking this into functions reduces to an almost silly level of verbosity. Of course, idiomatic python would write this as a list comprehension, but that is just proof that the lambda construct is broken, and the list comprehension is a band-aid and doesn't scale up to more complex scenarios.
Yeah, this whole “Tesla will fail if they fire Musk” strikes me as kind of pointless, because Tesla will likely fail either way. Best case scenario is M&A, which Musk is essentially too proud to do, which means not firing him means committing to the company utterly failing.
It is really sad to see this happening to Elon. He is one the handful of visionaries who wants to change the world for the better.

The difference is in economic incentives, not necessarily challenges. Driving a truck is definitely more difficult than a car but well within the ballpark of any self-driving technology capable of autonomous city driving.

However, while the average consumer won't pay an extra $10-??k for a first generation self driving car that can't navigate their daily commute, a trucking company will glady pay an extra $50-???k for a first generation self driving truck that can only drive on highways to distribution centers if it means eliminating the human driver. The latter is as much as 50% of the operating cost of transportation, even when long haul trucking, so as long as capital and maintenance costs are comparable there is a lot more room to profit off of each sale. Even if it takes autonomous cars many more decades years to become an every day consumer item, autonomous trucks will likely be operational much sooner just because there is so much more money to be made in the short term from a few clients like Walmart, Amazon, Costco, etc. that don't need a perfect driving experience to benefit financially.

Securities crime is almost always prosecuted in the US because of how much of our economy depends on it being free of outside manipulation. This is why all stock trades are tracked so intensely. A crook may be able to systemically deprive people of health insurance and get away with it, but he/she will almost certainly go to prison if caught manipulating the stock market for personal gain.

I think in general a lot of batteries in mobile devices for a couple years dropped off dramatically if charging to full regularly (ex: on the charger all night every night). My Nexus 4 and Nexus 6P were really bad here... my Pixel 2XL has been pretty good on battery life still after about a year now.

I think it was mostly immature technology adopted relatively early. There have been advances in battery tech, and it takes time to work kinks out.
I'm sorry, didn't want to appear aggressive either. Maybe when I wrote my comment I was influenced by the great number of negative comments here, but obviously, nothing personal!

Maybe there is a lot of confusion also because the naming of this methodology. The whole "functional" thing. It's funny that the very same practice has also been called "Atomic CSS" and "Object-Oriented CSS (OOCSS)"(!).

I would name it "Non-Cascading Style Sheets" because the whole point is actually giving away most of the "C" in "CSS".

I was also thinking that another point of such negativity may be that to use it you have to somehow master all the CSS rules, where not-so-experienced developers may rely on some "trial and error" or some bad pratice (eg. adding many nested selectors) to achive the same result. I might be wrong.

I remember that there are tools that throw a warning when a class is mutated (ie. overwritten by another rule) because you don't really want to - let's say - add a border when using something like "bg-gray-darker".

Yes, this practice can be a great choice for component frameworks. But it's also great for rapid prototyping and designing UI components or whole web pages directly in the browser.

And for templated HTML pages you can be more expressive using something like

"profile-card: m-5 p-5 text-gray-light bg-gray-darker border border-gray-light"

Where the "profile-card:" bit has no effect on the presentation but gives the code reader an insight of the markup.

I actually used to do something like this at first during prototyping/designing, but then I stopped. Maybe just because at some point I became so accustomed that I was able to catch every part of the page at first sight.

Sure, I'm just saying that without Musk we'd still get reusable launch, just a few years later. Blue Origin is definitely behind but they've been focusing on advanced engines, and just licensed one to ULA, which is flying it in 2020. And of course BO is planning to fly suborbital passengers next year. Suborbital is way easier the LEO, but flying passengers at all is something SpaceX hasn't gotten to yet.

I'm a huge SpaceX fan and until recently I kinda scoffed at Blue Origin, but after seeing more about it I was more impressed. (On the other hand, the New Glenn is only first-stage reusable, so they might need to get that flying well before the BFR is ready.)
To me it’s weird because when I heard the news I assumed he was full of shit. And the market realized pretty quickly as well. Wished I had shorted the stock...
