I’m not sure if you can switch from single to double, and then back to single. I don’t remember if this configuration was available when I was testing fdb, or if you just increased the number of processes in order to scale the cluster.

I do remember getting into a state where the status said it was migrating data, but there was no available node to migrate it to (because I wanted to shrink the cluster). Effectively, the cluster was deadlocked.

Well, you are right about one thing - you know nothing of the State politics

Democrats have had a virtual lock on this State for at least five years. So much so that their primary nemesis was their own moderate Governor, Jerry Brown. Think about that - conservatives had been so utterly decimated that the only thing standing in the way of the State legislature was a Governor from their own party.

They have a pliant Governor now but it is irrelevant - he can't even veto their bills anymore. He's a hood ornament and he knows it.

And astoundingly, outrageously, you actually think State Republicans, who have basically been an endangered species for years...are actually to blame. Wow. As it stands the last Republican Governor of the State was basically a Democrat anyway. But sure, maybe its all Pete Wilson's fault.

BBT definitely laughs at nerds. But I don't think reassures the mainstream about its superiority. The characters on BBT are depicted as god-tier geniuses that are successful at doing important work. The nerds are the protagonists.

How “Silicon Valley” Nails Silicon Valley (2016)
Things that would count:

You wrote a compiler, kernel, emulator, firmware, or boot loader.

You wrote a small demo, such as 4096-byte or 512-byte. Like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene

You have hand-optimized code via assembly language.

You have debugged software with a JTAG device or a digital logic analyser.
import pyhash
h = pyhash.murmur3_32()
timeit h(b"test")
576 ns ± 3.01 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)

import hashlib
timeit hashlib.sha1(b"test").digest()
518 ns ± 5.3 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)

import mmh3
timeit mmh3.hash(b"test")
156 ns ± 0.704 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000000 loops each)

Worth keeping in mind that pyhash and mmh3 close out the hash immediately where hashlib needs digest() to call sha1_done().

That said, mmh3 seems to give a respectable 70% speedup! (assuming 32bit hashes are acceptable) ... actually, let's compare apples to apples:

timeit mmh3.hash128(b"test")
180 ns ± 1.34 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000000 loops each)

Still pretty awesome for the little test!

...

And for something more realistic:

timeit hashlib.sha1(b"test"*4096).digest()
21.9 µs ± 594 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)

timeit h(b"test"*4096)
6.81 µs ± 38 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100000 loops each)

timeit mmh3.hash128(b"test"*4096)
3.03 µs ± 14.5 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100000 loops each)

An order of magnitude! (well, close)

AFAIK that's legal grey area. Aptitude tests in the US are generally illegal because they act as stand-ins for IQ tests, with the specific exception of ability tests proven to be relevant to the job at hand. That's why programming tests get a pass for programming jobs.

So I think it would depend on if you could convince a judge that the TOEFL score is relevant to the job at hand, and not just being used as a discriminatory stand-in for an IQ test.
>The dicotomy of the education gap in this nation

Or just awareness of how brands are operating now in general. I don't know if it's as dramatic as education.

It used to be the brand name/logo/trademark itself held all the value (e.g. Apple, Nike, etc.), except now we're seeing the value shift to how the brands correlate with consumer's identities (e.g. privacy, kaepernick, etc.). Kardashians, political parties, and corporations are especially cognizant of this social shift and are adapting faster than people are aware of it happening.

I personally blame social networks, which have made consumers hyper-aware of how decisions affect their carefully-constructed image of themselves online - but it's probably more complicated than just that.
Air-source heat pump efficiency really takes a dive in freezing conditions when you need it most.

Ground-source heat pumps are difficult to get right, expensive to install%, and can be painful to get planning approval for^. Plus, if you have the land for a system, you often have the land for a small woodlot.

% You'll need more land if you have to trench instead of drilling a well.

^ Some areas don't allow direct expansion, so you have to do an inefficient heat-exchange. Running open-loop would be efficient and cheap, but districts can be very afraid of groundwater contamination.
It's a mistake to say we're rich because our GDP or even GDP per capita is high. What matters is PPP - purchasing power parity with a basket of goods weighted towards the essentials of life: housing, transportation, food, water, child care and medical insurance. By that measure, I don't think the US is as rich as we think we are. but i would like to see things measured and quoted in that regard, it would be more relevant and accurate for comparing wealth.

Such an analysis would also be useful for comparing the rich and poor within a country. here in the US: someone earning 100k in the midwest is much wealthier than someone earning 150k in palo alto. Of course, if your basket of goods comparison is how many apple cell phones they can buy, it's not gonna be an accurate comparison

Sounds like great news for damaged organs, but the article seems imply full organs.

Like the first line is: "cutting the risk of an immune response to implanted organs."
> our system of government shouldn't stand unless some of its vital organs are profitable in a dog-eat-dog capitalist system

Plenty of countries get around this with independent but government funded media, the BBC in the UK, ABC in Australia, etc. I guess NPR is probably the closest thing in the US. They do a better job at reporting the news than most commercial providers and their sites are a lot less crapware infested (but getting worse), compare this (https://www.abc.net.au/news/) to just about any commercial news organisation.

The only problem I've ever had with the ABC is that it's crap at local news.
There is definitely a narrative being thrown around that standing desks are "good for you" and "healthy" and that you should use them. This article is significant in that it refutes that.

In some select cases it can help with some select problems, but it is not objectively "good for you" nor "healthy." In fact, the study in question found that too much standing is in fact "bad for you"!

It really is a commonly held belief that standing desks are "healthier" than non-standing desks. Perhaps you don't value knowledge of this sort, but I certainly do.

I'm sorry it's getting tedious (and I agree, it is), but yes, at this point you do need a good reason for staying on Python 2, and in this case, learning about their good reason is actually helpful and insightful into their choices.

This wasn't contentious or combative (I didn't interpret it as such anyway), it's a good question for new projects.
There are enzymes in cells called proteasomes that degrade intracellular proteins that are damaged, not needed anymore or just old and ready to be replaced. The rest products are peptides, short chains of amino acids, some of which become bound to molecule called the Major Histocompatibility Complex 1, which is then transported to and presented on the surface of the cell. It functions more or less as an ID badge of the cell. Foreign cells, cancerous cells or cells infested by bacteria or viruses will present unknown proteins, which will trigger an immune response.

An obvious solution would be to deactivate the MHC 1 in transplanted foreign tissue, but sadly that wouldn't work because the Natural killer cells in our immune system destroy cells without MHC 1. This is probably an adaption that evolved as bacteria evolved the capability to downregulate MHC 1 molecules to evade detection by other parts of the immune system.
> And 2 fails because A's notice was not specific enough to claim copyright.

What does that mean?

I thought you possess copyright on your creation without needing specific copyright notices. And if some part of your website is not copyrightable, how would notice help?

Additionally, if someone copies your work that you have copyright on, they are infringing even if there isn't any copyright notice. Are they not?
"And no, you don't need a database and transactions just to perform four operations and return a result."

The actual request was for a composable language, with 4 operations as one example. But a language isn't limited to just four operations.

By the way, this exists in the FHIR spec as a transaction Bundle:

https://www.hl7.org/fhir/bundle-transaction.json.html

But that, of course, now means you are implementing transactions. Which is one of the hardest things to implement in a distributed environment in a correct, scalable, and performant manner. Frankly, I would be very hesitant to trust such an implementation, if it wasn't the core competency of the developers who wrote it.

(Or unless they are just calling something else that implements the transactions, but at that point again you are just a very thin layer on top of a database.)

You clearly misread what I wrote. I was referring to the “no-knead” method which was popularized starting in the late 90s to mid-00s, and built upon by Robertson. No one is claiming kneading is new; it’s ancient.

We can debate over what constitutes “significant” innovation. I’m not saying anyone is going to come out and be like “hey turns out you don’t need flour OR water either!”. Clearly the foundation of bread is super simple and those basic principles are still unchanged. But I don’t agree with the author’s implication that it’s total hubris to be attempting to innovate and move the art forward.

Only very recently in history have we had certain technology available to us that has allowed people to exert super precise control over the baking environment (ambient temperatures, steam, etc.) and ingredients (flour blends, grinds, breeds of grain, strains of yeast). Bakers have and continue to tinker endlessly with these variables and the result is that the bread keeps getting better. Sure, not everyone cares about these things. For most people bread is bread. But it’s pretty cool (as a bread nerd anyway) to see someone like Chad Robertson put in many years of tinkering and experimentation and come up with a unique recipe that really influenced a whole new generation of bakers. Perhaps no single part of his technique or the resulting bread is 100% new or original, but he managed to compose several characteristics together in a way that was new and exciting.

Credit specialist
My husband is originally from Canada and when he moved to US he never had a credit score done. He never even had a credit card in his life. We could not put his name on our new car loan because he had no credit history and as loan manager explained to us that can increase the interest rate on the loan. I added my husband to my credit card so he can build his credit history (he could not get approved for Wal-Mart credit card by himself). So few months after, my husband blames me for his score low because I do have lots of debt. Although it is true I do have mortgage, home equity loan, credit card debt, school loans, and now car payment, I needed help fixing my credit profile so my husband’s score can be raised. I contacted my personal credit specialist that helped me fix my DUI the last time. He erased all the negative items on my report and replaced them with beautiful lines of credit thereby increasing my husband’s score to 798. We are happy with our new credit report. He has earned our respect and he is now our family credit. Just text him on +1 (912) 388 3132 or email him on TROJANVIRUS212@GMAIL.COM, you can trust him with your credit report.

They aren't the same thing: minstrelsy is the root offensive thing, blackface is offensive by association with minstrelsy. “Nerd blackface” could be any instance of non-nerds portraying nerds [0], “nerd minstrelsy” would, at least if you take the modern objection as defining [1], be the unfavorable portrayal of nerds (whether by actual nerds or non-nerds) for the entertainment of non-nerds.

Basically all the Hooli scenes are about that. Also just about the entire careers of Big Head, Jack Barker, and Denpok the "spiritual advisor".
Like anything in programming, regular expressions are a tool. Yes, it might be unusually easy to shoot yourself in the foot with this particular tool, but that doesn't make them not valuable at all. I'd argue that the best programmers use them judiciously and cautiously, as they would any fancy language feature.

Case in point: logfile analysis. Often times you might have a log file with many different kinds of messages formatted in many different ways, only some of which you care about. A quick regular expression can pull out the messages of interest, and extract out the bits you care about. Sure, in an ideal world you'd ingest the logging data in some structured format, but the real world simply does not hand you the luxury of controlling all your upstream data sources all the time.
> 0.57 megawatts per employee if you include the mining jobs [...] a ratio of 9.8 megawatts per plant employee [for renewable energy].

Another media take is that renewable energy will be costly for America (a specific perspective is that it's a Chinese conspiracy); this tidbit clearly shows that this perspective is false.

If America does not commit to renewable energy it will most certainly fall behind the rest of the world where energy would be significantly cheaper, if not "free" via taxation. As a generalization: local manufacturing won't be able to compete with international competition (because international competition would have lower energy costs), so there won't be anywhere else to get work. There won't be money to import fossils (due to a lack of manufacturing exports), so there won't be fossils to generate power. To make matters worse, these two outcomes are mutually-reinforcing.

We can't compete with China right now because of cheap Chinese labor, imagine how the manufacturing landscape would look with cheap Chinese energy thrown into the mix. Renewables save more blue collar jobs in the long run (but fewer energy jobs in the short-term).

In the long run, there is no way to save all the energy jobs. We need to start looking for other ways to tackle the coming energy labor market crash and, apart from UBI as a pretty flawed solution, I have nothing.
It is legal (at least based on the guidelines provided by the US Department of Labor: http://www.onetcenter.org/dl_files/empTestAsse.pdf) to give people all kinds of tests as long as (a) they do not select against certain protected traditionally disadvantaged classes more than it does for the average applicant or (b) if it does, there is a demonstrable link between the test and ability to perform job functions (so, for instance, a test of strength in a job that involves lots of lifting may select against women, but if strength is highly correlated with job performance, that is OK).
>That's true (at least as long as the other strategy also bets a constant proportion of wealth each turn).

Does it require that assumption? I don't think it even requires identically distributed returns on each component bet. It just needs money_(i+1) = f(money_i, x_i) to have strictly positive support right? Then you can just push it into log space and apply the law of large numbers, telling you to maximize the expected log of f(money_i, x_i) wrt x_i. Nothing about fractions or constant fractions shows up in that derivation.

The usual statement of the Kelly criterion is about fractions, but the more general question is whether maximizing expected log is (eventually) optimal, which seems to only require being able to apply the law of large numbers in log space.
