In London (admittedly a more expensive part of the country) renting a 1 bedroom flat will cost you approximately 1000pm.

60 pounds a day for 20 days is 1200pm. That is to say, it is impossible to rent a basic small flat and you will have to live with housemates or family.

Even having done that, transport and basic food will suck up all of the rest of your time and money.

It is by no means a 'very decent middle class income', in most of the South East it's poverty level.

6 pounds a day would be utterly comical, I'm not sure if this is a troll, I doubt that would be liveable in cheaper parts of Eastern Europe.
I dunno. I think there is quite a lot of us that have consistently expressed the stupidity that is wrapping a powerful query language in a mediocre, limited, buggy, half baked, shoe horned into OO shit what was I saying?

Oh yea, ORM.

I've always veiwed it as a legitimate (though always over engineered) solution to wrap some repetitive database operations in a consistent manner.

The biggest issue with ORM isn't the solution they came up with, half baked and buggy as they are, but the problem they are actually employeed to "solve": developers afraid of SQL. Whether they can't write it, can't learn it, or just straight hate the string representation in their code, it's the main reason people sign on for ORM.

Then they prop it up with all manner of baseless reasoning.

Theb there is the leakyness. ORMs are usually quite fluid in their language, they make it easy to represent the database in code. The only issue is that it isn't there. It's a separate thing. When you see database code it should be obvious and very far away from business logic. What does ORM do? Mix it all up On purpose. Have fun with all the mocks.
Probably something far down on your potential TODO list, but in the Netherlands, one interesting factor is the canals. This allows e.g. many parts of a city centre to be mostly car-free, without preventing shops from getting restocked - which can happen via water.

Relatively niche, but could be a fun gameplay element. Of course, speaking of the Netherlands, bicycle transportation is enormously interesting already.
That's because your other income raised you up to that bracket.

"Rich people I know LOVE to work. They would work for free."

How about in a call center where half the customers are angry and taking it out on you? How about if they couldn't afford the basics in life from the job? How about if they couldn't afford health care or food, so when working they are always tired?

The rich people you know don't have to deal with the crap poor folks do. They are more likely to be able to take vacations, spend money on things that make them happy (maybe it is their company/job, but it is still spending). They aren't worried that being late to pick up the kids will cost enough to make you have to eat less for the rest of the month, nor that a flat tire means you have to go without electricity.

IF they spend, they consider it for quite some time, look for deals or wait for special offers. Subsequently they are very happy with their purchases and keep them maintained and in good order.

Poor people don't have this luxury. Everyone would rather have comfortable shoes, but if you only have $15 for shoes and can't save up for 6 months for something better, you have to buy the $15 shoes. Even with good maintenance, $15 shoes aren't going to last like $100 shoes.

And by the way, the story of lotto winners is instructive: you simply can't spend your way out of the poverty mindset.

This doesn't prove anything. It proves that poverty deprives you of chances to practice long-term financial planning and unsurprisingly, when impovershed people suddenly get a lump sum of money, they fare poorly with the long-term planning. In contrast, rich folks have regular income. Even if you mess up one month, you have some income the next month. I'm going to guess if lotteries paid out monthly for as many years as jobs do, things would look different. Especially if it had an amount of upfront windfall followed by the monthly salary.

I'm curious about pre SQL database times. What sort of solutions were out there? What did the DBs look like before SQL was a thing?

NoSQL fixes a lot of the mismatch with code models but imo doesn't really solve much else and lacks the expressive power of SQL when it comes to reporting software.

I suspect most developers don't realise how much they are not the main user or consumer of SQL. (Business excel spreadsheets)

You might just consider asking them directly, see how much they want. My mentors refused to take equity; that might be the case with yours as well.

But once they give you a number, the formula is 1/(1 - n)

Meaning if they take 0.5%, they should increase the value of the company by 0.503%

If just the motivational value of talking to them can increase the value of the company by that much, then it's a good deal.

Also from personal experience, someone who has a little financial incentive will go out of their way to help you. Often they do anyway, but they do it for multiple people. If they have a little ownership, they'll prioritize it more.

thanks. There have probably been thousands of man hours spent on video compression. I used to have a 100 Mbit home network and play HD video via a OpenWrt home router with a usb disk attached to it. The HQ videos lagged when there was a lot of sound and things happening on the screen at the same time. It probably was the HDD/router capacity that was the limit though, not the network.
If you however measure the bit-rate between the computer and the monitor, it's significantly higher ... But imagine if we could stream via the Internet directly to the monitor. I'm thinking a VR headset that you just plug-in to the Ethernet socket, eg. no need to have a high end gfx computer. This would both mean cheaper/less hardware at home, and a easier business model for game developers as they wouldn't have to worry that much about people copying games.

I can't see why the article would say the effect is not measurable. We are trying to contrast two explanations: In one, galaxies are receding and the expansion of space in the intervening distance red shifts the spectra. In the other masses are changing (globally?) as some rate, changing the spectra.

The best modern atomic clocks depend on atomic spectra, a shift in which would be evidence for or against this model.

Given the precision of modern atomic clocks (<10^-17)[1] and the fact that the galactic spectral shifts are significant at large distances this seems plausible. I don't have precise #'s to do the calculations at hand so maybe I've made an error.

Well, for what it's worth, I've just had a very quick look at SimpleDB, and it does have a buffer manager after all (in simpledb.buffer). I am glad about this, it is looking more and more interesting to me, and I am more and more inclined to following this approach. Also, the course notes I alluded to above are looking like a good substitute for the book, because they also seem to discuss the source code in great detail, as mentioned in other comments.

The MIT OCW SimpleDB seems different from Sciore's though, simpler, but is also in Java, I wonder whether they have adapted it or whether it is entirely different system.

Sciore's old db course, might help figure out how much material to pack into a terms-worth of learning, but the notes aren't there, you will find then in the internet if you know where to look :) https://web.archive.org/web/20081028011620/http://www.cs.bc....

That baffles me. When a federal agent is in a state, they should be bound to the laws of that state. And additionally, it should be illegal for any government agent, federal, state, or local, to ask someone to do something illegal. How could that constitutionally be otherwise?

That makes no sense. Marketing is about efficiently matching customers with products filling their needs and wants. Advertising is the communication that makes this system work and relevancy is a core factor.

> Yes, only people who know how the tech works should be discussing it.

Well then we disagree. Being an engineer or a technician does not make you a good ethicist. And that's what we need.

Training an ethicist that is impartial or thoughtful from the beginning about the technology may also be easier than the opposite. They may be similar...

But training an engineer in ethics I think is a good step. Some fields, like medicine, have it somewhat built in. We can debate how effective or serious that actually is.

Being a technician or engineer does predispose you to thinking what you are working on or working with is ethical. I did list Tristan Harris as a good counter-example and someone that certainly can speak to the ethics of the issue. But his example is also a good example of engineers/technicians not being good candidates for being impartial because he has to be a type of activist.

1. When did I mention types? I was talking about FP vs imperative.

There are typed and untyped languages in both paradigms. There actually have been a couple of studies that found a positive effect for types on correctness. The largest effect (15%!) was reported in this paper: http://earlbarr.com/publications/typestudy.pdf but it compared only TypeScript and JavaScript.

2. Why the different category? Both effects were looked for and not found. Homeopathy was just looked for much more, so the certainty it has no effect (beyond placebo) is more certain. Again, the effect of FP on correctness is currently between completely unknown and some evidence against. Repeating this claim without supporting evidence is ridiculous.

When physicists (and mathematicians) say a system is simple they usually mean that it exhibits features such as the following:

– High degree of symmetry: laws that govern the system are invariant under various transformations

– Reducibility: complex entities can be understood as being composed of building blocks governed by a smaller set of rules instead of being irreducible, ”ontologically basic”

– Differentiability: the way the system evolves can be modeled using differential equations and other tools of analysis

– Low order of approximation: the behavior of the system can be approximated by power series with a small number of terms; higher-order terms converge quickly

– Small number of free parameters: the laws of the system do not require a large number of ad-hoc parameters with arbitrary values
Patterning is the use of multiple masks to get fine features smaller than the wavelength of light you're using where in previous larger feature nodes one mask sufficed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_patterning

This all seems very hyperbolic to me. You're painting it as being a matter of judging rather than useful, lived advice.

For the first five years of my adult life I wouldn't have even considered spending $5 on a coffee, or a take out sandwich, or whatever. It felt like a ridiculous sum of money. When I visit parts of the UK that aren't awash with wealth, it still does.

I genuinely did think of it through the lens of - not doing that meant that I could quite rapidly save a month's rent, then a few months' rent, and so on.

Would it make me a millionaire? No. Certainly not in isolation. But it would break my fall if I were to become unemployed, temporarily ill, etc.

And that initial spark of starting to save, having a buffer, not going homeless if I lost my job for a month or two or six, was an essential ingredient in me becoming what you seem to call 'The Haves'.

$5 a day for 5 years is over $9K. Non-inflation adjusted. You could stick it under a mattress and that's still six months rent here in London or a _year_ if you share a flat. It's genuinely a large amount of money.

If I'd spent my whole life chucking money at everything that came my way I'd still be poor because I would never have been able to risk switching jobs, moving, I very well could have ended up homeless in periods when I left work for a while, etc. Living paycheck to paycheck is basically suicide. You have to make hay whilst the sun shines.

Until I had a decent amount saved I essentially did not have discretionary income. I felt it was frivolous. That has worked out for me and I see no reason why it wouldn't work out for others; as such I believe expressing my opinion to be useful advice, and it is rather odd to have that lived experience be painted as "moralizing".
If batteries are the enabler, couldn't you just over generate using a cheap base load tech, dumping excess to battery? Or are renewables plus batteries cheaper than base load tech plus batteries?
I have recently joined a project where the database is mongodb. One thing That I have noticed is that its far more difficult to get a mental model of the application without a formal schema. In the same way that tests can act as a from of documentation, I now see that a database schema can act as a form of documentation as well.

I don't disagree overall but I'm using SQLAlchemy (Python) on a daily basis and it works quite well.

I agree that if you are building ORM with the intention of hiding so many SQL details that the developers don't need to learn SQL, you'll run into problems.

SQLAlchemy on the other hand starts simple, but is flexible enough that you can do inner/outer joins, you have different loading strategies etc. It is quite nice if you are proficient enough in SQL.

When writing complicated select queries, I'd start by writing the raw SQL then spend my time representing it in SQLAlchemy. It's a bit less than double the work sometimes, but working with the SQLAlchemy objects in Python is quite nice as long as you pull them in an efficient manner. SQLAlchemy just feels like a well thought out ORM.
