Why is AD a Windows only solution? Large corporations and startups use it to run tens of thousands of Macs and Linux machines in addition to Windows. In fact, I can't think of a single large company that does not use it. Its basically the core for many.
There's a little more than cuteness here. If a country has a large economic interest in producing fossil fuels, there are often political forces driving consumption of fossil fuels, and undermining any and all attempt to even discuss the consequences of fossil fuels.

Looking at the US, the oil industry has long used its muscle to drive (heh) the use of automobiles and internal combustion engines, and to suppress initiatives to slow, halt, or reverse climate change.

And that's the interesting thing here: How is it that Norway's economy is so dependent upon its fossil fuels, but this doesn't appear to blind it to the consequences of fossil fuel use?

TiDB is a bit of an odd duck. It runs SQL queries with MySQL compatibility but only has single-key ACID guarantees? Anyone know what guarantees are available between keys?

It's also described as a Hybrid Transactional and Analytical Processing (HTAP) database which sounds more meaningful to determine if it fits your use case.

I've found one of the quickest things to atrophy for managers is their empathy for being an IC.

If I had to conjecture, it's much more a person's mindset, the organizational culture, and their incentives (so the system), that will dictate how they respond to mistakes.

I have seen this in organizations from to tech, to education, non-profits, and beyond.

Wouldn't this break the functionality of "system restore points"? Because those have saved me so many times in the past.
I am self taught in C++. I learnt it when I realized my BE FORTRAN wasn't going to enable creating GUI simulation. I did have a few hiccups like any beginner but soon it was alright, so have no idea what it is like to be formally taught in class.

As for Lisp and ML, being Indian, I had no access to these, even in CS section of the library, as you might understand. Many years ago I tried learning Scheme by/after watching the lecture series. I even have the book SICP. It is fun and elegant, refreshingly so, no doubt, but only till a point. I found once we venture into necessity for conditionals & data mutation, its unbearably cumbersome - I can deal with spaghetti C code but not this - may be I am conditioned by exclusive C++ usage. I tend to think those who stick to Scheme like languages and solve real world problems do it for bravado and cry when no one is looking lol.

As for design pattern, I don't see it being exclusive to OO. Its just a bunch of ideas to build software. One would have it for assembler as well if it was used for mass production (I wonder how it was in early days when it was exclusively assembler). Its certainly poorly used and abused, agreed.

This has been widely hashed out over the years. You can use downvotes to express disagreement.

I have no problem with that generally because I would rather see downvotes than see every single person who disagrees feel compelled to pile on with petty BS. But in this case, the comment called attention to a defect in my earlier comment -- my failure to specify which SimCity -- and allowed me to add the missing information.

Since my reply with the additional info has substantial upvotes, I think it's wrong to punish the comment that elicited that reply from me. It has too much of that "you win an argument by making the other guy lose" vibe.

I hesitate to say this explicitly, because past experience suggests it will result in a temporary pile-on of everyone and their brother nitpicking the hell out of my comments, but I really don't want to discourage good faith comments that nudge me to address defects or omissions in my comments. I don't think that improves discussion here. I think it makes things worse.

In Austria if you're traveling between big cities you're probably traveling to a neighboring country (very common to travel to Germany, Czech, Hungary, etc by rail).

Unfortunately Germany is the only neighbor with an extensive high-speed rail network that Austria has.
That's not entirely true...

Given Linux's history as OSS, it has historically been easier to be familiar with the inner workings of Linux than Windows simply by having access to the code. Other than reading System Internals, becoming MCSE certified, etc. it was really hard to know much about Windows. I'm not saying every Linux user has read the source but being built on top of OSS does allow the user to dig deeper if one wanted to. I say this as someone who started out his career in Windows and Microsoft and then later went to Linux (because I went from corporate to startup). It's much easier to pinpoint a problem with OSS and Linux, especially in situation when the documentation is lacking. It took me a lot less time to have a decent knowledge of Linux and OSS systems than it was for me to know the equivalent on Windows and Microsoft.

This effect gets compounded when you consider an entire ecosystem.
Scribd | Software Engineers | San Francisco, Toronto | ONSITE or REMOTE | VISA

Scribd is a reading subscription that gives you access to the best books, audiobooks, magazines, and more. Our mission is to change how the world reads. Beginning of this year we hit 1M paying subscribers (https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/28/scribd-1-million-subscribe...)! We are one of the oldest YC startups (YC ’06), operating one of the largest Ruby on Rails sites.

The Content Engineering team is in need of both software engineers and senior software engineers, onsite in our new San Francisco office, onsite in our Toronto office, or remote within the United States. The Content Engineering team was newly formed with the dual mission to own and update Scribd's existing content metadata pipeline and build new metadata that can be used by the search, recommendations, data science, and frontend teams to build more useful and intelligent features. The work includes building data pipelines, data engineering, and a touch of machine learning.

Scribd has a very friendly, engineering-driven company culture with competitive salary and great benefits. We are ambitious but at the same time we value a good work life balance. In general we care way more about your personality and hacking skills than what languages you’ve used so far.

If this sounds appealing to you then you should apply! The links for both roles are below. If you have questions you can contact me at Shane at scribd.com (I'm the manager for the Content Engineering team).

One high-level design choice that they made is to entirely skip any kind of in-seat entertainment and screens and instead of plan around people showing up with their own tablets and phones (to which they provide power). This makes immense sense to me and I'm sure simplifies things on their side.

> Not really doable for a lot of Austria and generally the Alpine regions.

On the other hand that distance is a lot smaller than Chicago-Seattle (4x) so the lack of high speed in the alpine region isn't as noticable for a night train because the distances are much shorter.
The thing about sleeper trains is that you need the distance to be 8-15 hours. If it's less than 8h you'd get uncomfortable departure or arrival times. 10h for Zurich-Vienna is perfect for a sleeper.

SevenFifty Technologies | Senior Full-stack Developer (Rails); Lead Engineer, Web & Mobile Product Team | New York, NY | Full-time | Onsite

SevenFifty is modernizing the wholesale beverage alcohol industry, which is massive and only recently adopting modern, web-based processes. Over 70,000 restaurants, bars, hotels, and retail stores across the country connect with their sales reps and wholesalers through our platform, replacing a status quo going back to Prohibition. We work with everyone from the largest importers to mom and pop winemakers to build bespoke tools for communication, content distribution, and order management, providing transparency across all tiers.

You'll be joining a small engineering team tackling a wide array of challenges - from complex data processing to modern, interactive web frontends; from liberating data from decades old mainframes, to consuming and writing APIs used by everyone from small retail shops to large conglomerates. We want people who are excited about learning new technologies and passionate about using those tools to make people’s daily lives more efficient. We're also in a sweet spot for ambitious and talented engineers; we have a lot of traction and are well-financed, but still have a very small team responsible for a wide range of work enabling you to take ownership of large slices of our technology stack.

Technologies: Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, Backbone, React, React Native, Solr

Not as bad as NYC building a 333 mile, $3B transmission line to get hydro power supplied from Canada.

Rather than spending $3B to build out wind or other renewable power locally.
I'd say "nervous" captures it best. Or maybe the quip about the US, originally, "doing the right thing after having exhausted all other options".

Combustion engines, and Diesel especially, also require a lot more manpower to assemble. Spiegel, the largest and well-respected magazine, just quoted relative figures of 10 (Diesel):4 (Gasoline): 1 (Electric). So even if German manufacturers happen to survive the transition with market share intact, a lot of jobs are on the line.

And that's a big "if". Not only is there a lot of know-how that will become rather worthless. Consumers may well consider electric vehicles a new category, making brand value not transferrable.

The silver lining may be that the importance of cars for German industry, while big, is often overstated, especially outside Germany. The true strength of the country is in thousands of engineering SMEs you and I have never heard of, excelling in specialty B2B products. Stuff like pumps and industrial tooling and whatnot.
