I want to nitpick a bit: AFAIK DeepMind didn't use the frame buffer in StarCraft. In the widely reported matches DeepMind didn't even have to move the camera. This was apparent in one of the matches against Man's, where DeepMind blink microd its Stalkers over what would be multiple screens for a human player (so you would have to move the camera to do the same, which is impossible at that speed). They did play one match, where DeepMind was basically controlling the camera too (separately trained) and Mana beat it.

On another note, even though it was said that DeepMind was APM limited in StarCraft, it did spike to 1500 at some points, which is not doable for a human. So, I'd say that DeepMind hasn't quite got there yet in beating SC2 pros. They could definitely make very interesting single player opponents though. I hope that in the future I can play a strategy game alone and have some interesting AI opponents to play against.
Apple manages just fine...

And if it's not, then it justifies the cost of forking.
Having recently dealt with data from music labels, I can sadly assure you that it isn't always accurate. But they get enough money as it is, they're not going to spend extra on internal data hygiene...
Makes more sense :-)

Personally I feel it is worse than that: there have been som issues so bad that I hardly get Hanlons razor to work at all, notably one where just having a search result page open in Firefox would consistently spin up my CPU for no good reason twice a minute.

(Of course there were a number of other weird lagging issues as well.)
So if you are "more knowledgeable on this topic" than me, why are you continuing to evade my question on whether you have actually read the studies behind the "science" you claim to back up that a plant based diet is both better for health reasons than a meat based diet? Moreover, if you are "more knowledgeable on this topic" than me why is it that a scientific review by Dr. David M Klurfeld appears "like a corporate brochure" to you?
So, when they say "I only read it for the articles", they really do mean it :)
You really didn't get my point did you.

We don't know about the specifications because we don't work there and since the OP said he wasn't there he might not know either. And the fact is that requirements regularly change over time.

The point is that it's really easy to judge when you aren't there and are privy to all the facts.
So now you're filtering out bots and people with disabilities?

> If you're having performance issues, the answer is often related to change detection (aka, Zone.js).

This is part of Angular really. At least it's not optional to use it. Change detection issues are not fun to debug!
I found the use cases section the most informative. You can click on a use case to get a write-up. Here's a few excerpts from transportation:

> Pilosa is a distributed bitmap index that sits on top of a data store. The key to understanding and then using Pilosa is converting data such that it is represented in ones and zeros. This dramatically reduces the size as well as accelerates query times.

> For example, timestamps are important information, but we tend to be interested in individual components of a timestamp, especially when analyzing data with cyclic trends. Timestamp components are stored as groups of bitmaps, known as “frames”. We create one frame for the day of the week, as illustrated in the following table. Along with similar frames for year, month, and time of day, this accelerates queries that ask questions about rides belonging to any logical combination of these time groups.

> [...]

> Because each data point includes pickup/dropoff times and total distance travelled, it’s easy to determine the average speed of the trip. As an example, we use this as a first order approximation of congestion. We created a frame representing average speed, with a spacing of 1 mph.

> In order to answer questions about congestion, we needed to first determine what speeds constitute slow traffic. One of the basic queries in Pilosa is the TopN function, and we used that to get a list of all the different average speeds. By performing a count on each we built a histogram of how many rides fall into each speed bucket, and decided from there which buckets deviate enough from the norm to constitute congestion.
> The idea is to preserve as many slow growing trees as we can while waiting for the technology to catch up.

What if technology doesn't catch up? And if it does, how to deal with the environmental consequences of building that new technology?
Anything Google related running in that Firefox? (Seems like a stupid question since it also happens in headless.)
We would always brings friends home as kids and as I would walk the dog and take it to the local park I would often let the dog off the lead and allow it to run in the dog park (around the age of 11 iirc was when I would take the dog out by myself) and personally never had any issues.

Though that is just one story from one person on-line. Take it as you will. Esp compared to the horror stories you see in the news. I just personally believe that Rottweilers got a bad rap because a few people abused them because they were big dogs.

EDIT: What I mean is as a kid I just treated him as my dog, just like anyone would treat their Labrador or Golders retriever. I didn’t think I needed to worry about warning friends or anything when they came over unexpected. So we never worried about the “aunt from out of state with her 3 year old pulling the tail” as kids as unknown kids would be over all the time anyway.

I realize I could have made my point more explicit: I suspect that we should do this so that we can remove the incentives for humans to spread pesticides and do other habitat-damaging things.
If only mentally healthy people took psychedelic drugs, almost nobody would take psychedelic drugs. There is no true answer to who should take them. Even those who seem healthiest among us now could break under the mental strain of these drugs. And those who seem most mentally unhealthy could stand to benefit the most. And to assume that suicidal thoughts equates to someone being dangerous is just as “retarded” as calling the idea of this person taking psychedelic drugs “retarded”.
We pay close attention to Data growth patterns and schema changes to keep around 70% of queries (which actually brings little over than 90% of business revenue) under 50 millisecond. Rest of 30% queries are either of low priority or backend jobs for which latency range of 200 ms to 1.5 seconds is viable for our use case.
I will ghost any software sales person that asks me more questions than they answer, so I recommend noting your potential customers' initial questions and making sure that those get answered before continuing to develop the lead.

I sort of agree with this, but the advantage I see of Docker is in providing a "standard" (ymmv) interface that's less heavyweight than running an entire simulated virtual machine, but less dependent on the idiosyncrasies of a specific environment.

I can give my coworker a docker image and it mostly "just work" without failing because she happens to be running a slightly different version of Ubuntu with different system libraries present.
Well, then I would disagree with you there. There are plenty of ways to get Windows to run executable code just by clicking an attachment, and this even without warning dialogs:

- PDFs with JS code. It's not a joke, someone actually titled a paper on PDF exploits alone, "PDF, Let Me Count the Ways".

- Hostile RTFs (with or without OLEs) disguised as Word documents (which Office will gladly open).

- Hostile HTML disguised as Excel spreadsheets (likewise).

- New unknown variants of the old Windows metafile exploit (just by viewing, as xorcist suggested).

- Image "stegosploits" (likewise).

The list goes on...
Ok, I understand. Thanks!

What if they took some precautions, eg someone was with them to make sure that they don't do any harm (to themselves or others)? People generally recommend that one take psychedelics with a sitter, after all. Or is the concern also about their mental state in the coming days/weeks/however long after the trip?
How do you handle race conditions? E.g. an app updated the persistent store but crashed before it could update Pilosa?
> those services will use what they know about you

This is inherently user-hostile, as it presupposes tracking and identification. I don't want them to know anything about me!
Could you not have given them read-only access?
> a random docker is almost as bad as a random executable

You can sandbox a random executable with seccomp, you cannot effectively sandbox a whole container without breaking many things.
Some of the UX isn't quite as smooth as Workflowy... but it does have some features workflowy is missing like images/attachments etc. It's definitely very pretty. I find the loading of some nodes to be unbearably slow though. The cross-linking is a great feature, though again the markdown processing takes a while to happen so the UX feels choppy and lets it down slightly.

I don't really get the need for the files panel on the left hand side. In theory the first page just acts as an ad-hoc version of that. Seems unnecessary to me. I could look past that though as if you just hide it and pretend it's not there then it doesn't really matter.

Also... no mobile app :/

I use workflowy every day and there are definitely areas for it to improve on that I feel like dynalist is trying to address. Will keep an eye on this one. Not ready to switch at this time but hopeful for the future.
Isn’t it obvious? Everybody who doesn’t operate their own datacenters are mindless technology hipsters.

Whenever a new big piece of tech comes out, most of the detractors seem to either a) find a use case that isn’t fit for purpose or b) try to use it without bothering to learn how, and the proceed to say ‘see, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be’.

90% of the time Docker is used to solve the problem of "how do I upload this bucket of Python crud to a production server?" (Replace 'Python' with any other language to taste.)

> Maybe I should have been clearer. I just meant "other UTFs" as in "UTFs that are not UTF-8", ie, UTFs that exist primarily for historical resons.

That makes no difference whatsoever. All UTFs are mappings of USVs to bytes.

> It's only incorrect if you impose arbitrary meanings on what "text" is, thus leading to multiple string types that require internationalisation experts to use correctly.

The entire point of separate string-like type is making it clear what's what up-front. It doesn't require any sort of internationalisation, it just tells you that filenames are not strings. Because they're not.

> An example of a modern language that seems to handle this stuff fine without weird distinctions between filenames and other strings is Go (and possibly Julia, based on discussion in other subthreads) .. which incidentally was largely designed by one of the designers of UTF-8.

Go just throws up its hand and goes "fuck you, strings are random aggregates of garbage and our "string functions" will at best blow up and at worst corrupt the entire thing if you use them" (because they either assert or assume that strings are UTF8-encoded).

It only "handles this stuff fine" in the sense that it does not handle it at all, will not tell you that your code is going to break, and will provide no support whatsoever when it does.
I never really considered the economics of programming languages in this regard. Thanks for the thoughtful explanation.

I've been using the "experimental" LTS 2017.4 Linux version at work for over a year and the only platform-specific issue has been broken .NET 4.6 support, which has long since been fixed in 2018.x. Other than that, I've found the Linux builds to be in good shape since the 5.x series (platform-independent Unity buggyness notwithstanding).
But we do know the OPs solution met the specifications, and is still in use, meaning that those specifications haven't changed too much.

And you're damn right I'm going to be judgemental of someone not only promised the moon, but abandoned the work when the rocket exploded on the pad and someone else had to clean up.
> A slightly smarter .tar.gz would have solved the problem just as well.

It's called "OS package" ;) and can provide more strict sandboxing using a systemd unit file: unit files provide seccomp, cgroups and more.

Presentation of Quantometrica and global incubation hub EDGEof held in Moscow
Quantometrica international startup studio has held the first presentation of its business in Moscow together with co-founder and CEO of the global Tokyo - based incubation hub EdgeOf Inc, Tajsuke Alex Odajima.

During the presentation, Quantometrica’s Strategic Advisor Konstantin Velikotsky introduced key areas of the studio’s work, which are: creating and launching international startups in IT, IoT and Big Data; digital consulting for corporate clients and development of IT-solutions for enterprise customers.

As a part of his speech, Konstantin Velikotsky presented the first startup of Quantometrica - a cloud-based graphic IT-infrastructure designer Miraworks. Miraworks platform enables automatization of such time-consuming and routine task of IT-specialists as checking the technical compatibility of hardware from different vendors. Automatization becomes possible due to creation of a single database of hardware specifications. Such database allows IT-specialists to check compatibility of network equipment without having special knowledge about hardware of each particular vendor. In addition, Miraworks has a graphical design tool that allows creating complete configuration of IT-solutions.

Co-founder and CEO of the global hub EdgeOf Inc. based in Tokyo, Taisuke Alex Odajima became a special guest of the presentation. He told the attendees about acceleration programs of the hub and the opportunities provided for the launch of foreign startups on the Japanese market. Speaking about special features of the Japanese start-up ecosystem, Odajima stressed that “A significant proportion of investments to startups in Japanese market comes from corporate venture funds of private companies. Due to the market specifics, startups from such fields as automatization, robotization, artificial intelligence, services for the elderly and disruptive technologies have the highest chances to become successful in Japan.”

Assuming unlimited budget for hardware and licenses, then building a team that can deploy and manage VMWare on 40 nodes will be much easier - however raw VM is not really comparable to what k8s is giving you, so you'll be also solving reproducible deployments, load balancing traffic to your cluster etc. Still, with enough money those can be solved by purchasing more hardware&software, and you'll have easier time finding people who can maintain that over on-premise kubernetes.

That's not at all what my issue is though. I have what you might call "big data problems" and I'm so turned-off by Hadoop that I'm actually rolling my own distributed DB. But what principles other than a DFS should one look into, is the question, really. At least to me.

I worked at RIM during the rise/collapse and would indicate the issues were mostly structural, cultural, and competitive.

BlackBerry was a small company up against the #1 product of the era (iPhone) and a 'free' competitor. Both companies are basically #1 and #2 brands in the world. They have very deep experience in all things, channels, money etc..

We had no 'mapping team' really, Google had 100 people.

iOS is from MacOS. BB had this ancient thing.

We were just a tiny company that got clobbered, but frankly, BB was culturally more like 'motorola' than an advanced, well run entity. BB could not compete.

RIM started in 1982, not in the 1990's. The 'rise' was quite meteoric when they decided to put email on your hip, and added a phone.

What's common about big data?

My guess is that almost all programming jobs are in fields that produce no more data than a gb or two a month.

I'm happy to be proven wrong, but I would guess that there are far more companies making project management software, time tracking apps, invoicing software, etc. than there are facebooks, googles or reddits obsessively logging every user mouse twitch.

And that's data that's much better sitting in a nice, normal, relational database.
While I agree with your sentiment, in practice, relying on legislative options is not foolproof and is also a band-aid. You require a lot of human cooperation which, to be honest, is not trivial to achieve in 2019. Second, technology frequently outpaces legislative actions. You can relay a spam call/sms around the world and the receiver, her ISP or her government would still be completely unable to fix the issue.

Honestly, I want disposable phone numbers (which are still compatible with public networks) something akin to email aliases. So if one number gets a lot of spam calls, I can just route it to /dev/null.

We need a complete array of legislative + technological solutions.

To give BB credit, the playbook was a '1st gen' device for that category, it's really only when compared to Apple, an amazing company with so much to leverage, that the Playbook was bad.

If they could have taken more time, it might have been better.

But the Playbook product did effectively expose the lack of depth, talent and relevant experience at RIM. I'm ashamed to say.

Many people use/used Hadoop for problems that did not warrant the overhead and complexity that comes with Hadoop. I've seen it countless times with my own eyes that people pre-emptively use tools like Hadoop and Spark because of a chance that they will hit a massive scale in the future.

This happens in both startups and enterprises alike: people like to think they have big problems too often.
That link doesn't seem to be making the case, for me at least.

Not all relational DBs break at scale.
Relational DBs break at scale if you rely on very specific optimizations like specific types of indexes.

Even Postgres got this right recently with the introduction of the BRIN index, which is a lot more lightweight.
