I don't think it is common. The correct phrase, and what I've always heard, is "180 degrees", meaning "the opposite direction".

I can imagine "360 degrees" being used by people who are bad at math or not thinking about it, though.

In the article the author really means 360, though, because she's back where she started.

Mapping a universe of open source software
I know this is a non-answer, but just my $0.02...

Two decades ago, when I was learning to code, the career path for engineers was to eventually become a "software architect". The architect was to be the god among mortals who would "design" large systems and dictate how these things fit together.

Fast-forward a few years and it turned out the "architects" were the biggest waste of of time and money. The best system designs came from the low-level engineers who were actually building the individual components.

In my humble opinion, the best way to learn big system design is to just put in your 10,000 hours of coding. The principles necessary for multi-thread concurrency are not so different from multi-datacenter concurrency. I suspect there are 1,000s of subtle design patterns that one can perhaps never fully articulate.

Just my $0.02. Good luck!
That is a strong claim, and one that directly opposes my understanding of the situation.

As a classic example, consider the US airline industry. Being in Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a competitive advantage, so one airline after another goes bankrupt, becomes competitive, and comes out, having driven another bankrupt in turn. This race to the bottom continues indefinitely.

Everyone knows that the industry would be better off if it lost a couple of airlines, but Chapter 11 keeps that from ever happening.

Yep, AWS doesn't seem to have any time-lock delete mechanisms as far as I know, which is a shame. I still have to research this, but as far as I can tell the best practice seems to be using MFA delete:

Affordable high-speed rail won't work in America at all. It's not because of logistics, or cost, or even resources.

It's because high-speed rail would let the poorest have roughly the same freedom of movement the rich have now. And we can't have that now can we?
I think you may be confusing Shadow DOM with Virtual DOM. Shadow DOM is more about encapsulation and isolation of independent DOMs, while Virtual DOM is about keeping an in memory representation of the DOM to allow for more efficient rendering. Shadow DOM is a browser API whereas Virtual DOM is implemented in frameworks.

Bootstrap is still super useful if you need something to look "pretty good", and want to build it fast. It's great for internal tools, protoypes, personal use, or even B2B software that just needs a functional design.

If you're building Facebook, yeah maybe it's not so useful.
The challenge with fast trains in cities is the acceleration. If you ride BART, for example, you are basically spending all your time either speeding up or slowing down, and yet BART stations are still spread about as far apart as they can be and realistically cover the city. Actually, they don't even do a very good job at that - much of the city is not within easy walking distance to a BART station.

We need the equivalent of offramps for trains. Some mechanism that would transport you for the last mile at 10-15 mph (scooters? pods?) while allowing trains to never come to a complete stop and wait for people to board.
He is probably just the public voice since the post is targeted towards developer audience.
> Inefficiency and lack of centralization in government may have indeed been a plan of the US government that worked at its founding, but at some point we have to re-evaluate and find a balance between decentralization and efficiency.

This one thing I've thought about. People seem to assume it's bureaucracy within government that's the issue when really it's bureaucracy among government.

At a minimum there's Federal, State, County, Municipal. Then you might have other specially formed districts for transportation or whatnot. There's no "the government". There's many governments and trying to get them all to agree on a coordinated plan for anything beyond the status quo seems next to impossible. The Bay Area is a perfect example of this. It's all one region. For all intents and purposes municipalities are pointless. It's just one giant organism. But some counties didn't want to join BART, some are more NIMBY, some don't want to construct housing, and so on.

Could anybody familiar with other better functioning countries maybe compare this system to one that is known to work better?
Why not complete it to San Jose at least. People headed to SF could catch a train into the city.

But the real advantage would be home buyers. Instead of saving up for a 800 sq foot house without a garage that cost $1.2 million they could ride the train a half hour where the same house would cost what $400K in Fresno?
Something I haven't seen brought up: if pilots are passionate enough about flying, then that's what they're going to do no matter how little they get paid. Companies don't have an incentive to give a raise to people who are not considering a different job.
By monosyllabic he meant one short syllable only, or "mora":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mora_(linguistics)

Eight, for example is one syllable with two moras, the "eigh" sound and the "t" sound at the end.

Same for Zero, which as "Ze" and "Ro" separated into two moras.

Nine, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, for example are one mora words.

Six actually has 3 mora, with "Si" at the beginning and the X at the end having two mora "k" and "s" sound.

In comparison all Chinese characters have one mora only, thus it's much faster and easier to use in numbers.
Both are ways of giving money to shareholders, either as cash (dividends) or increased stock price (repurchases). What's notable is that Activision/Blizzard is not investing those profits in future games, R&D, etc. Kind of like saying "we have more money than we know what to do with".

increase dividend: pay more to shareholders (as opposed to anything else the business could do e.g. CapEx or raises for labor)

do stock repurchases: basically a way to launder money by evading taxes. the long and short is that instead of paying shareholders $100 via dividends, which are taxable dividend income, the co spends $100 to buy the shares (say 50 shares at $2 each). if the shares were purchased for $1 each, then the basis increases by $1, so the it only creates $50 taxable income.

edit: mistake
A dividend is money you pay to your owners as profit: if a business makes more than it’s expenses, that profit is either reinvested, held onto, or given back to shareholders as a dividend.

Repurchasing stock is more or less accomplishing the same thing, but by purchasing shares back from the market instead of just giving the money to shareholders. This makes their shares more valuable — but has different tax implications.

Both are ways to return profits to shareholders, and are activities usually done by mature businesses and not growing ones. (The reason a business returns money is it doesn’t know how to successfully reinvest the money.)
Paul, you are correct. It's more about preventing duplication in the software design rather than cleaning it up after the fact (which is an interesting problem, but a diff topic).

Think of it this way: one could build a detailed Entity Relationship diagram (or OOP equivalent) in a machine-readable format with all the relationship and column-size constraints defined. One could then push a button and have a machine generate a working version of the software. Those tools do exist. But they are usually missing useful details and result in UI's poorly tuned for how employees will likely be using the system.

Many of the tweaks to make it "practical" will be exceptions or local customizations to the original ER diagram data. Those customizations/deviations are the bottleneck such that in practice most stacks use duplication of info instead. See DRY ("Don't Repeat Yourself") in software engineering slang sites.
That's a great way of saying it concisely. And to continue that generalization - one of the consequences of information theory is that there exist trivially incompressible strings. This plays nicely with the recent (2018) Lei-Luo-Yau-Gu result that there exist manifolds which cannot be learned.

As I harp on every chance I can get, I have a pet hypothesis that there's a very deep corollary here waiting to be proven rigorously. Namely, that we can show there exist adversarial inputs that exploit neural networks because they're incompressible. Furthermore, that these inputs are information theoretically guaranteed to exploit the neural network (even if there are practical complexity theoretic workarounds).
For land rights issues it is easy enough to create stations that are sufficiently distanced from the city centers but close enough to tap into local Bus/Uber-ish/car rental options. Most Californian metropolis' have an area distanced enough but accessible where land is still relatively cheap, the exception being LA which has sprawled into Orange County and completely enveloped other regions.

However going through mountain in an environmentally conscious way gets radically expensive in very short order. Additionally this style of construction tends to have its own legally contentious issues. (Dam construction for water management being comparative)
Ok, then I guess we'll just have to disagree.
Maybe it's just the sorts of things I buy, but I get some pretty good deals at Whole Foods now.

A particular cheese I buy each week is $12.99/pound at Albertson's, and only slightly less at Kroger. At Whole Foods it's $5.99/pound, and sometimes on sale for half that, so I stock up.

I shop at Whole Foods more since Amazon took over. Not because of the Prime discount; I don't think I've ever bought something that was on sale. But to me it seems cheaper than before and has more things that I'm interested in.

Yes, it's still more expensive than the competition. But the competition I use for laundry soap and other items I can get anywhere. Where I live, Whole Foods is still the best option for fresh food. (Except for beef, which I go to a butcher for.)
Moreso the idea that, whenever trying to do something new (e.g. building a high speed rail), the layers of bureaucracy get in the way of themselves. There's too many governments that are more often opposed to each other than in agreement.

The state's individuals overwhelmingly approved the HSR in referendum in 2007(!), yet local governments and counties tripped over themselves trying to sue the state and delay and kill this project. I would argue that, in extraordinary circumstances, the state's power should be able to override local powers: something like, this is a state-level project, so your local jurisdiction is limited. The case here is local powers holding the rest of the state hostage.

California's government is great at maintaining the status quo, but trying to get local municipalities to implement a change in unison (building more housing, etc.) is like pulling teeth. That leads to cost overruns, delays, and the general sort of inefficiency we associate with government.

It's impossible to comment the specific circumstances with the report, but we do generally monitor and warn our users on running low on resources - be it storage, CPU or memory. I admit that the alerting is by no means foolproof; we may miss reaction on rapid or sudden changes in the usage patterns, but the alerting works quite well on more steady and common workloads and usage patterns.

Should the worst case scenario happen and the storage run out, there's always an option to upgrade to the next resource tier size. This will restore the DB state to the latest successfully recorded transaction.

I only mentioned tapes specifically because they're probably the most common choice for offline backups (I say "probably" because I don't know the relative numbers between tapes and, say, optical media).

You're definitely right, though; there's gotta be a better way. SSDs look promising, though not necessarily for long-term storage (for that, I suspect it'd be hard to beat optical, aside perhaps from printing out a bunch of QR codes or something).

I AM LOOKING FOR CRAZY INVESTOR
Hello,
i want to start a messaging app to compete with the current established messaging app in the world like whatsapp,snapchat,telegram,viber,wechat and etc.
i have come to know that investors who are normal will not invest in my startup , in that case i am looking for an abnormal investor who is different from normal investors.
i am looking for $70,000 for 7% or $20,000 for 2% .
Do not ask me if my app will be different , the answer is simply that it is not different from other messaging app and it has very big competition and it will be competing with the popular and better funded messaging app in the world, in that case the first condition to invest in my startup is that you should be some how crazy.
if you are interested to invest in a crazy startup please comment below and after that send me a private message in my email :

While I agree with your point in general, this route is not really comparable to the Shinkansen’s route in Japan.

Tōkyō Station to Shin-Ōsaka station (the original Shinkansen route) is about the same distance by car as San Jose to Los Angeles Union Station. 303 miles versus 340.

Along this route there is Nagoya in the middle, whose greater metro area is 10x the population of Fresno. There are also lots of other towns and vacation spots, like Mount Fuji and onsens.

While it would be fairer to look at the populations in Japan before the Shinkansen rather than after, the value proposition does not seem as strong. Also this is a state level project while the Shinkansen was built by JNR, essentially part of the government of Japan.

Counterpoint to your counterpoint: The NYC Metro is actually 4 or 5 separate rail systems, all formerly private companies that went bankrupt. The MTA was created to salvage those rail lines in the face of private failure.

It's FUD that the MTA Union has prevented "any sort of automation...etc" because it's simply not true. They've resisted specific types of automation while supporting other types.

Changes were never implemented because the system lacked sufficient funding--it's controlled by the NY state government, not NYC itself. Most of the state is actually extremely conservative compared to NYC and generally resists implementing improvements to the MTA.
