Big query isn't a great use case if data that needs to be queried repeatedly and is updating that frequently, I don't think. With streaming inserts, you probably should generally only be doing inserts on the latest date/time based partition, so that you can take advantage of cached queries for all data but the most recent date/time partition.
Well, it is somewhat different still - this is real ecosystem work, and the depth of integration into it is quite significant.
Not sure why you're being downvoted. Sounds is utterly terrible. It's really difficult when they push it so much on the radio (ie. minimum 4 times per hour mentioned on radio 6 in the morning. I though, yeah ok then i'll support and give it a go. It's (well, when I tried it a while back) missing casting, an alarm, downloading, and easy way to search and find radio programmes, and a whole heap of other "base" features.

I am genuinely shocked as to why they're pushing it so hard, especially given that the current iplayer radio app is fantastic.
I'd like to point out that FB went through something similar within the first few weeks. And, the current day price is $177.
Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.

Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith.

Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we must be saved by love.

No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as it is from our standpoint. Therefore we must be saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.

Reinhold Niebuhr, The Irony of American History

I find comfort in, at least, spotting the cyclical nature of things. A despairing rant from, oh, the 14th century, (or 1950-odd) shouldn’t be as cheerful as it seems now, but it kind of is.
I think this is the main concern here. The link for the source isn't available anymore, therefore the claim stands without anyone to be able to honestly argue against it. Should someone with poor moral and enough reach wanted to have something removed legally from wikipedia or any other such website, they would 'just' have to take down any other online source. In the age of the internet and knowledge being available 24h, this is concerning.
True, but GS has never issued credit cards before, so not really on par with any other co-branded credit cards.
Reading good history books really helps. It's amazing how hard and terrible life was for 95% of the world's population just 150 years ago.
For myself, Slack is such a time waster that I'm at the point where I only check on it periodically. I tell coworkers that if there's an emergency that needs to be tended to right away, just text, call, or talk to me in person. If there's something that can wait, email is better. After 2+ years of using Slack on several different teams, I have yet to see any enhanced group communications. I do however see massive amounts of distractions and failed concentration. I'm sure "I'm doing it wrong", but this has been my experience with Slack.
Not sure if you realize this, but Wakefield's original assertion (and the only way that he was able to get legitimate scientists aboard for his wild, fraudulent ride) was to claim to have found a connection between the vaccine and what he called "non-specific colitis", which in turn caused autism, he said.

So that plot twist has already occurred.

Meanwhile, the connection between gut disorders and autism has received very little study after his wacko paper was retracted. With the relatively sudden (ie, in the space of a generation) proliferation of HFCS and hydrogenated oils (one or the other of which is in - or at least was in - nearly everything that has more than 5 ingredients), it seems like a very legitimate target for research.

The fact that the vaccine connection has been debunked does not, as I understand it, also debunk the connection with gut disorders, which the other scientists had apparently independently observed and written about. People have been pointing this out for nearly 5 years now (ie, see [0]), but it seems that research is only now venturing out. People are terrified to be even vaguely associated with Wakefield, even if they don't share his conflict of interest or willingness to lie.

Try to find something you can do that you have control over and will make things better.

E.g. I've been working in free time with local group to get safer bike infrastructure built in Cambridge. One of results of our efforts was on front page of HN yesterday. It was a group effort, but I did a little bit, and it has actual impact.

Will it solve all the world's problems? No, but it's a small step in the right direction. And it's at a scale where I can have an impact and see results.

You also have the ability to find work elsewhere that is more meaningful, some companies are much better than others in what they do (e.g. in similar realm to above, https://www.remix.com/ seems great.)
How about letting me download the Android app in Europe, thanks.
hiring practices need to be transparent AND understandable

It's easier said than done.

Can you, for example, think of a transparent and understandable way of telling a cat from a dog?
What do you do if you're in a Go project and need to implement this, though? The complexity of FFIs and the maintenance expense of adding another language/compiler is worse than having to work against the language.
Not stealing - there have been about a dozen "crypto" debit cards until today. But the speed of implementing it to match the news from Apple - could be, why not?
I've found that reading history gives me hope because at every point in mankind's past, so many people would have had the same fatalism that we have now.Things have turned out OK after all :-)

Second, reading stoicism helps , too. I come from India where we have a similar school of thought which emphasises that the work at hand is the only thing you can control. This helps, too.

Why do you concern yourself with all that stuff? I see no problem with _being aware_ of it, but it doesn't directly affect you.

Look outside!

There are trees! Animals! People!

Isn't that crazy? Seriously. How does that stuff exist?

I think you can be - as I am quite often - genuinely dumbfounded and inspired by the complexity around us everyday. There's a lot to appreciate right in front of you. Why overlook it? There's so much.
>Your A does not imply your B: a lack of publically-revealed proof does not imply that it is “unlikely” that he knew,

Yes, it does. "Unlikely" is a better fit than "almost certainly," as all the evidence available supports the conclusion that he was not aware of the data.
I don't think it is impossible, and many products wouldn't seem to change at all. 2L of milk visually looks like about a half gallon. (I am American and moved to Norway). Canned goods look to be around the same size. And so on.

Speed limits would take a bit of getting used to in some older cars, but I think most newer cars with digital dashboards would just switch over. Buying gas would take a little time, but it'll work out. A meter isn't all that different from a yard and rulers are cheap ways to measure centimeters. Signage and things will help folks do the conversion.

Temperature and distance, however, will take a bit longer. It has taken me a while to really understand how warm 10C is without having to convert the temperature, but I'm sure we can communicate such things. I still have no real handle on how far 100km is nor how long that would take to drive, though I know it is too far to walk.

Mostly, it would take legislation and money to start changing things (signs, for example) over. This would need to happen in 2 different stages so that for a decent time, both would be shown. Some things would just be immediately updated without issue.

Some of the sticker things probably needs to be funded as well - such as gas stations. I don't think they'd need to replace the entire pump, but it is a possibility especially for older stations.

Oh, and again, legislation needs to be there. In the current political climate, this is going to be a real hurdle and I can imagine it taking a patriotic tone much like the debate of teaching cursive writing.
Civilisation is doomed, but it will take a good few decades, maybe over a century, to completely collapse. Just focus on stuff you enjoy personally. You personally can still have a really fun life.

Not all tech work is concentrated in "hyper capitalistic companies". Try to work on something that inspires you.

For example, most of my clients are in the healthcare space.

* One is a wearable device (think watch/bracelet) that allows senior people to get in touch with family or medically trained phone operators in case they have an issue (fell down, can't get out of bed, etc). The same device is also used for locating runaway Alzheimer patients in medical facilities.

* Another is a medical device that detects certain heart conditions.

* Another is a gamified platform that employers can use to motivate employees to live a healthier lifestyle.

Yes, they are all startups, and their goal is to make money. I don't work for free either. That is how the world works right now, but that does not mean the result needs to be net-negative for humanity.

I can go to bed each night knowing that my work helped people, and in some cases even saved their life.

>Additionally Godots default language (Gdscript) is awesome and intuitive, whereas gml doesn't really feel like a real language (argument0-15. Come on)

I agree with the comparison to GML, but whether one finds Gdscript intuitive depends on one's existing background. I personally found it frustrating because I was used to C/C++, but with time I can see getting used to it. It's not a bad language by any means.

Also, both Game Maker and Godot share the problem of their scripting language being essentially a form of lock-in, since no one is going to use Gdscript anywhere else, and any code you write it in is no longer portable. Also, they use their own shader script rather than GLSL, which means your shaders aren't portable either.

Godot can support different languages (unlike Unity or Game Maker), but IIRC that requires recompiling the engine and may break the editor.
It's just a problem with the industry that's like "let's just get something out there and achieve product market first..will worry about infra and security later" that later is just pushed into a backlog and forgotten.
> The WP also includes work to make the editor work on mobile browsers, such as touch screen gestures, responsive UI, etc. This should also make it possible for us to port the editor to Android and iOS natively to tweak your projects on the go.

That sounds very ambitious, UI and UX wise. Wonder how that will turn out in practice

The perceived downward spiral is factually incorrect. Read Steven Pinker for the full breakdown. By any and every measure human beings enjoy better lives than in the past; health, violence, leisure and more. This trend is continuing.

Secondly, your thought patterns of demotivation sound more like the patterns of depression. Focus on finding your own happiness and meaning. On that note, I recommend "Man's search for meaning". The author could find his meaning whilst in a concentration camp. Powerful stuff.
I minored in history, reminding myself how things always go in the grand scheme of things, has been a tremendously efficient way of keeping myself optimistic about our future. At least in terms of our civilisation, because the climate is fucked.

Anyway. If you look at the big picture of human civilisation, then it’s really been one long line of progress. Some times there are set-backs, and sometimes those set-backs last four a century, but over all, it’s an endless line of progression toward a better world.

Yes there is famine, but poverty is decreasing. Yes there is murder and terrorism, but we’ve never been less violent. Yes there are fake news, but we’ve never been more educated. Yes there is totalitarianism, but we’ve never been more democratic or free.

Another thing I do that helps a lot, is that I select my sources of news carefully. I don’t really care what happened today if it isn’t important enough to remember tomorrow. I do like to keep up with current events though. As a solution to this predicament I found a high quality news paper that only comes out once a week. I buy it as paper and I digest the weeks events over the weekend. Other than that I stay away from news unless something drastic happens. I also avoid social media (with HN and LinkedIn being the only exception).

The last thing I’d suggest is finding a hobby, and spending time on that instead of worrying. The less useful it is the better, because if your hobbies are about self-improvement, then you’ll end up getting stressed about them.
Personally I think it is not a good idea to assume that the world/universe is supposed to have some kind of meaning or direction. At some level, none of this really matters. Humanity will be gone in due time, and none of that will have any meaning anymore. We just need to be able to enjoy the ride and focus on the good parts.

Here's the video cued up to the booster landings: https://youtu.be/TXMGu2d8c8g?t=1643 with the main core landing a few minutes later.

If it's not obvious, the main core landing was much harder this time around, because of how fast it was going due to the two boosters imparting a lot of extra speed on it before they separated. If you think about it, it'll have somewhere between 1x and 3x the velocity of a normal Falcon 9 core
As far as I understand, the Flight Termination System is safed before the landing burn. It's more dangerous to have it potentially still active after landing. So at this point it can't blow itself up anymore.

Until the last moment it also doesn't target the barge itself, but slightly to the side. Only very shortly before landing does it correct the target to the actual landing position. So in most cases it would simply hit the water instead of anything else when there is a major issue.

I think Lightman uses artistic license a lot and has rehearsed the story mulitple times in his mind. Lightman is a writer who wrote 'Einstein's Dreams'. This article is basically transcript of the interview from 2014. http://nautil.us/blog/why-hawking-radiation-was-almost-feynm...

Another weird think in the interview is Lightman saying that he don't think Feynman didn't have a big ego.

Feynman loved Feynman stories and was very intellectually very competitive with his peers. His reputation and those stories were not completely spontaneous. His breakup with Gell-Mann came because he sometimes forgot that it was not he who invented all those ideas they came up together.

I think one of the things that makes Feynman a bigger than life characters are his quirks and personality. There is no need to clean up his image into some king of humble guy.

Microservices are an organizational pattern: "we have 500 programmers working on one application, how the hell do we do it."

Solution: break up application into independent projects, each team of developers works on one of them, have extra team that builds tooling to make everyone happy.

Using microservices with a small teams is a terrible idea, usually, because you're switching to a distributed system when you don't need to. And distributed systems are hard to get right. And you're not even following the organizational pattern, because you have one team with N microservices.
Maybe scientists and engineers should isolate themselves in walled communities and shun the complexities of the outside world to allow them to focus on their studies.

On a more serious note, this learned sense of hopelessness is nothing new to humanity.

>Would you like to save the world from the degradation and destruction it seems destined for? Then step away from shallow mass movements and quietly go to work on your own self-awareness. If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.

I would not call AWS certs “good”, especially not the associate certs. I have the the three associates and two professional ones. The company paid for all except the first.

AWS is so massive, it’s hard to know where to start to get a general overview of it. Studying for and at least doing proof of concepts help with giving you an organized learning path with an end goal in mind.

But, I still don’t think that the certifications necessarily show any level of competence.

I was the dev lead at a mid size company with a small development shop. I was specifically hired to modernize the department and to architect a green field project. Right after I designed the system, they decided to “move to the cloud”. I knew nothing about AWS at the time and neither did they. So they hired a bunch of “certified consultants”.

At the end of the day with the consultants “help”, I ended up setting up an environment just like I would on prem (first mistake) with seven (1 in DEV/QA/UAT and a cluster in production) small VMs for Consul, Nomad, Mongo. I’m already at 21 servers. This doesn’t count two VMs for build servers and 10 or 11 app servers in all.

While this design would have been perfectly acceptable for an on prem setup and looking back I wouldn’t have done anything differently if we were on prem, this was a horrible system for AWS. We could have used managed services for everything above and not had a single VM running except the app servers (today we could have used Fargate to avoid even the app servers but it wasn’t around at the time). We could have even used managed ElasticSearch instead of Mongo since the data stored in Mongo wasn’t the source of truth.

But the “certified consultants” were a bunch of old school infrastructure guys who only knew how to click around on the web console (2nd mistake) and do a “lift and shift”.

I started studying for the AWS Architect Associate just so I could talk intelligently to the consultants and see what type of improvements I could do during phase 2. I had already designed the system to abstract our dependency on Consul, Nomad, and Mongo. I was horrified after discovering all that AWS could have managed for us. I was more horrified that the certified consultants didn’t have a clue. I was most horrified that I passed the certification without ever touching the console and just by watching the videos.

For various reasons, I ended up changing jobs shortly there after, to work for a company that was a pure AWS shop with a new (to the company) manager that wanted to be more “AWS native”.

I became the “AWS guy” even though I’m a developer. Eventually we started interviewing “AWS Architects”. None of the people we were looking for (mid level) had any practical experience. They had just memorized enough from ACloudGuru to pass a multiple choice test.
