> That doesn't really change the equation. You still either have to (1) choose your DBMS's query language to write your application server (like today) or (2) use one language to construct queries in another (like today).

I don't know if you're misunderstanding me, or I'm misunderstanding you. prolog is a query language. The logical programming paradigm is that a program is a "list of facts" and you run the program by "querying" the state of the world. The only piece missing is making the fact storage engine scalable/robust/production ready. Or.. alternatively, there's the Eve[1] project which starts off with prolog to make a hypercard like environment with a built in data storage layer. Its aim is less production ready apps and more developer ergonomics.

I'm not sure it requires a bank account. People can go by the same stall they bought their sim card from and put money on their account. One of the benefits is that it brings people into the financial system that otherwise don't have access.
Wut. The problem isn't twitter (well, not in this case, not that twitter haven't destroyed their product with the non-chronological feed...), it's infants who can't control themselves on it. Addicts and occasional users exist for most things (the possible exception being strong opiates).
Why Scrum does not work (and what can we do about it)
Nicely put. Unfortunately much of the back and forth below about which system is really better due to [insert reason here] misses the point here. The different systems are optimized to different use cases. E.g. sometimes you want reversibility sometimes not. It all depends on your needs and desires.
Wired? All memory is always physically wired to the motherboard.

It's unsafe for the kernel to swap the memory out, because paging doesn't (usually) work while running kernel code.
There's not really an alternative though. If the country lacks the ability to implement a "small government" system like libertarianism, then it definitely can't implement a "big government" system like communism.
I happen to be one of those vendors. I don't really view it as a good thing though. It's not good if everybody has to buy different forks of Kubernetes from vendors.

A point of reference, Amazon EKS only runs 1.10 which will not be supported by the community in 3 months. So not all managed services are really keeping up.
Well, they were fiddling around with my intestines, moving them around (I have / had intestinal malrotation) and they told me that it could be an issue if they didn't remove it.

Although they told me afterwards, but the surgeons were extremely competent so I don't question their judgement.
They are referencing other tweets and statements by him. So it isn't a single bad decision that lead to this. It is a constant flow of bad decisions run over several months. People in important positions really should put a legal/marketing department between themselves and their twitter account.
That was basically my point.

The fraud protection works from the consumer side. It is useless from the business side, where no amount of evidence will convince them that you took a payment legitimately.

Paypal are the same. They side with the buyer 99% of the time. No proper fraud investigation is even done.
I don't know that your post argues anything meaningful to me.

Connecting ads to profiles over ads to search - okay. That doesn't seem super different. The point is the advertiser doesn't know who I am. That's mostly what I care about.

If google couldn't read my email, they couldn't give me features like when my flight is departing. That's a feature I appreciate.

The point I was trying to make is that people seem to believe that Google reveals your identity and personal details to advertisers for profit, which is false.
I've only noticed some UI glitches in some of the apps i am using including ones i personally developed. I can only speak for the later, but it was due to scruffy code which never should have worked as expected.

The author just lists a bunch of things that most people consider being bad mixing it with things she considers being bad and makes a conclusion that it's the fault of a movement called X.
If you see an article in such format for the first time it can be something like a revelation and you can feel some emotional response, but when you saw them multiple time by multiple authors from different movements blaming other movements for the same things you start to see the pattern and it becomes just annoying. They just turn some terms and names into insults. "Communists", "bourgeois", "postmodernists", "neoliberals", "leftists", "fascists". These terms lose any sense when you just throw them at people. It doesn't help that people use them to describe themselves or others when named people don't actually support these movements. They just have an opinion that differs from yours. In many cases it's not even an opinion, it's just a mere feeling they have due to comradery with some people they like.

If Gmail is your main concern, try this:

Forward all emails to your new email address and reply from the new one.

Also use your email signature as an ad for your new email. Like this, "Please send all emails to my new email new@email"

Lastly, you can bcc your entire contacts - 20-40 per day informing them of your new email.

Hope this helps.

bitcoin transaction are now expensive because the devs will not raise the block size limit (currently limited to 2500tx per block), which creates a market where users compete to be in the next block with a higher and higher fee.

bitcoin cash devs have raised this limit to allow 86,000 tx per block ( and will remove the limit in the future). This means the median cost of transactions on bitcoin cash is $0.001.

Yes and the fact that they aren’t full closures is a travesty - I can’t tell you how many times a nice dependency injection has been ruined by having to add a bunch of def’s. It bloats code and reduces expressiveness.
Not very aware of license internals, as it uses CockroachDB codebase we'll better ask @mjibson and add a LICENSE to "lopezator/sqlfmt" for better understanding depending on their answer :)
Yes, but it’s not about business model, it’s about trust. Both companies, Facebook and Google, built their business modeles around advertisers and have no other option than to sell your data. But, for some reason, 9 out of 10 engineers that I work with dislike Facebook and don’t trust them. They are willing to share work documents and emails with Google, but not Facebook.

Totally agree with the sentiment. I don't despise Musk, I rather like him a lot for all of his work.

BUT I also thought it was weird that, in the podcast, he didn't mention and never has mentioned (of all the appearances I've seen) the entire team of people helping him to the success. Specially in the podcast, because one question that was repeated several times by Joe was like "how do you manage to do all the stuff you do?". I do not like this way of portraying one guy as some sort of alien that does all this when in reality he does very little if you compare it to the work that is done by his employees.

Leadership that goes in the direction that Musk does is really good and very valuable but it's not what creates actual worth.

Fair point. However, we already have an influx of cheap, low-quality web apps ported to Mac via Electron.

I think in this case Marzipan is a better solution, as it will allow willing developers to port native iOS apps to the Mac without much effort.

It won't help with webapp juggernauts like Slack or Skype, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

CloudFlare has been profitable since 2014[1]:

Ask HN: Any experience with remote working for a hardware/robotics company?
Hi everyone,

Does anyone have experience working remote for a hardware/robotics company?
I'm quite interested in working for a company some 5-6 hours drive/train away, so commuting is not really an option.
I'm not really willing to move with my SO, also thinking about having children in a year or 1-2.

Driving there regularly is an option, eg. for 2 days a week there or maybe a week there, then one from home etc.

Job entails testing robot applications but a lot can be done in simulation, though the proof in in the physical pudding of course.

Any experience is this particular niche of remote work? I'm not sure if this will work out, so looking for things to look out for, pro's cons etc.
> Last I heard it was pretty expensive to do a bitcoin transaction, and slow.

There are more modern cryptocurrencies (e.g. Nano, Iota) that are instant & feeless. Nano, iirc, is either infinitely scalable or has an 7000 transactions-per-second upper bound.

My understanding is different:

Shorting a stock means borrowing it and paying a fee for borrowing it. Then selling the borrowed stock and hoping when you buy it back it's worth less. If the borrower doesn't want his stock back and the price is too high for you, then you simply don't buy and continue to pay the fee.

So if you borrow stock for $100, maybe each year you pay a $5 fee, and sell it for $100. Considering there wouldn't be any transaction fees you would now have $95. If the price now rises to $500, you don't buy but continue to pay the $5. So it means you are only $90 ahead instead of $95. But you are not in the minus.

This is actually a really good deal for both the borrower and the short seller, which is why I bet there are lots of rules forbidding that and banks not actually doing it if you don't borrow a certain minimum size of a few million $. I don't know that, though. In theory you and I could do that game as well, if it's not illegal.

Here in the UK I’ve noticed that Amex is not accepted by a lot of smaller businesses. When I ask why I’m told it’s because their fees are 4-5% - higher than both Mastercard and Visa.

The thing is reward credit cards really feel like the banks are fleecing merchants and giving a small portion as a kick back to the consumer. If card issuers want to provide an incentive to their customers then they shouldn’t fund it by charging the merchants more.

All that will likely happen is merchants will increase their prices and those without reward cards will end up paying more and getting less. It’s probably why on so many sites (especially airlines!) I have to pay ‘2% credit card processing surcharge’.

If Visa and Mastercard don’t want retailers to get selective then there needs to be a single charge rate - and I think it would be a good idea that this information is shared with purchasers at time of a payment.

To make it work, I had to propose a new working definition of what analysis is. The rough definition for most people is that analysis is all the "work around the work" If you're not coding you're doing analysis. I needed something more concrete than that, yet flexible enough to allow tractability on all the kinds of things teams do.

Once I got that definition in place, the rest of the process of information minimization proceeded quite naturally. At that point you know what it is you're trying to minimize, ie, you have a "key" in Codd's terms. Then the trick is just minimize information and maximizing flow using key-based storage and transmission. (This also lets you look at whether your processes are working or not from a new, rational, and objective standpoint, which is a nice side-effect)

I knew everything was going down hill the second I seen that they weren't going to call it the Apple iWatch.

Like do they not know how important that lower case "i" is for their award winning and trend setting formula!

And I am being serious right now. My ocd is going nuts just thinking about the lost uniformity of the branding. Especially when they still insist on us calling their other products "my iphone, my ipod, my imac, and now we also have to say "my apple watch"?

How do you even tell somebody to pass you your phone, tablet, and watch all at the same time. "Hey man, can you pass me my iphone and ipad. Oh and my APPLE watch. Like do you not realize how much of my life you are wasting when you force me to say one more syllable.

For me, it's about atomic design. I want to use predefined, reusable values only. So I'm only able to use "pt-10" for 10px and "pt-20" for 20px (as an example). With inline styles, nothing prevents me from using "padding-bottom: 11px" (which may not be defined in the style guide).

Also, from the article:

- Inline styles don't respect media queries, which basically rules out responsive design

- Inline styles aren't limited to pre-defined options, meaning you can still end up with 90 different shades of blue)

- Inline styles cause specificity issues, since they trump separate stylesheets.

- Inline styles don't support print-specific styles.

- Inline styles can't address pseudo-elements (such as ::before and ::after)

- Inline styles can't apply to multiple elements. Utility classes can define .bg-blue once and have it apply to many things, which leads to shorter markup and quicker rendering speed.

- Inline styles are a pain to type. Compare class="f-sm bg-blue" to style="font-size: 10px; background-color: #0000ff;".

>Signed HTTP Exchanges (or SXG) enables loading Web contents signed by the content publishers from anywhere, e.g. from a fast server, as if they came from the original publishers.

Not only is the transported content protected by TLS, the content is also signed by the publisher and can be loaded from other servers. E.g. makes sense in an AMP context.
