"Event Sourcing systems store the entire event sequence that results in the total state of entities. Many events containing personal information lead up to the current state, rather than just a single record. In addition, the same information might be stored in other locations, such as denormalized projections, snapshots and backups. This makes it more difficult to modify or delete all state, therefore we offer tools based on shredding. GDPR for Akka Persistence modules make it easier to implement this functionality when using Akka or Lagom event sourcing. However, you can also use the encrypted key with non-event sourced data, such as CRUD with a relational database"
If Libs are SO concerned that the Will of the People must always be heard can we count on their support to bring back popular initiatives like CA Prop 187 that Judges struck down,have the census count citizens so that Blue States can't improperly gain Legislative seats, crack down on ballot harvesting (when it benefits them) and generally reverse all the things Libs have done that wouldn't have won in a straight majority vote of the population? No?

He says at the outset that he’s responsible for the art and everything is done to his specifications.

Maybe art just isn’t where his talent lies.

I actually wonder if he couldn’t make 2x or more by investing in the art. His previous efforts went from terrible to merely bad. It would be interesting to see what could happen if he crossed the threshold into acceptable.

Then again, I don’t know the total market size for this genre. Maybe even fantastic looking games don’t make enough to support two full timers?

Letter Regarding Jeffrey Epstein and MIT
I've gotten curious about the company when started seeing the same logo in films of Coens, Linklater and Jonze. The memorable name also helps.
I read recently , just some numbers that many TPS (Thermal power stations) are slowly being shutdown , because of myriad of reasons including water shortages , coal emission norms and falling costs of power (TPS /unit power is much higher than other sources)

https://numerical.co.in/numerons/collection/5afecac0291c55fc...

There are places like Raichur (famous for Rice cultivation down here) that has Super thermal stations that shutdown due to lack of water.

In my home state , we can generate solar power from the rooftops and send it back to the grid and get paid for it. Best part is , I get the panel on a subsidized rate as well. Where i currently stay , solar water heaters are mandatory to get occupancy certificates for individual houses.

Without crediting anyone (and hence labeling myself as pro/con government) , recent norms have forced rethink of dirty fuels. Delhi had a ban on diesel passenger vehicles as well. An example is India's largest car manufacturer Maruti to stop diesel cars by 2020 (https://www.deccanherald.com/business/maruti-to-stop-making-...)

A combination of improved public transport (metros) and these little steps on energy self sufficiency will go a long way in the short to middle term (5-10 years is my guess)

In a hugely negative world , I find these heartening.We have unstable grids , but quite looking forward to stability in electricity.

I'm in India. Nobody here has ever eaten a Nougat. But everyone knew (at that time) that their phone was "latest Nougat"

I dont understand why they couldnt have done both. Apple has precedent here "Mavericks 10.9", "Yosemite 10.10".

Google could have mandated brand guidelines to adding version number - "Oreo 8", "Pie 9", "Quiche 10". There is the aspect of fun and brand and a cognitive construct together.

Incidentally, this already happens - check out this phone https://www.amazon.in/Nokia-6-1-Plus-Black-Storage/dp/B07T4V...

EMC, then already a public company, acquired VMware in 2004.
EMC took VMware public in 2007 when it sold 15% of its stake in an IPO.

EMC acquired Pivotal Labs in 2012. Months later, VMware and EMC each spin out a division, which included Pivotal Labs from EMC, as a new private company called Pivotal Software.

Dell announced its acquisition of EMC in 2015 which completed about 11 months later, in 2016. EMC shareholders each receive fractional shares of a publicly trading tracking stock representing Dell-EMC's interest in VMware in addition to cash for the non-VMware parts of EMC.

In December 2018, Dell went public by buying back its interest in VMware from the shareholders of the tracking stock.

So what you said about VMware being the only public part of Dell computers was true, up until the end of last year. Dell as a whole has been a publicly traded company for nearly 8 months now.
Maybe he simply decided he's tired of being CEO.

Once he's no longer a corporate officer it will be easier for him to sell stock. Since he owns 15% of a $700+ million valuation company, his stock is worth over $100 million.

Given the precarious state of retail these days, maybe cashing out the $100 million isn't a bad thing to do.
The US defeated the Vietcong. By many metrics, Vietcong activity greatly dropped.

It didn’t stop North Vietnam from invading the South with an army.
The most accurate answer w/r to the thing you linked is: All binaries used to be much smaller, by a factor of 100x or more. And so on this aspect of performance we have had a kind of regression where most things have a bigger footprint than necessary. Some of it is to be expected since 64-bit code is larger, and Unicode handling is larger, and we support more features even in the smallest CLI tools, but there's also an element of the tooling making an optimization that is locally sensible - expand code size to get some runtime performance benefits - and globally useless, since as the featuresets increase an increasing percentage of all code is "run once/run never" and not a hot loop, and so it's just wasting disk, memory and cache to have it in that configuration.
That's a remarkable commitment. In 2016, NDTV said that India produced 300GW, of which 42GW was renewable. So, the 175GW goal adds 3 times as much. Even 50GW of that going to transportation ... whew!

NITI's report (2015)* says there are still 300M people without electricity, but that "India’s solar potential is greater han 750 GW and its announced wind potential is 302 GW". A fine demonstration of what foresight, will and technical capability can accomplish.

I think the person with the popular vote should have lost.

The EC performed to spec in my opinion. Nobody, myself included, likes that outcome, but the truth is Clinton didn't do the work needed to win the election.

Now, she had a number of challenges, but she was also running to sell the world on the idea of her being the leader too. No excuses. I feel strongly about that.

The primary reason I feel that way is she flat out could have won.

A shift in campaign strategy, something her own staff urged her to do many times as they saw the numbers, would have sealed the deal. Visit Wisconsin, do some real work in the Rust Belt, and talk about jobs, not just education, or other similar things that put the fault on those who are expected to vote, and she would have won easily.

What actually happened was a run on popular vote totals. I'm told that was to increase the legitimacy of her win, and lay the foundation for a mandate type win. Ok, that's all fair, valid, reasonable, but for the fact that the basic work all that is predicated on simply was not done.

The EC more or less forces that work to get done too.

I'm fine with the EC as it exists today. An awful lot of the EC discussion is driven by a bad outcome, and I am just not sure that makes sense, or at least it does not make sense without a super honest, raw analysis of what actually did happen.

In the VFX industry you don't roundtrip lossy codecs; first step is to decode to something lossless like EXR or TIFF, and those are what you pipe through your workflows. (With maybe lowres JPEG "proxies" to make iteration a bit quicker.)

Film/TV more generally I think tolerates slightly lossy codecs like RED or Pro Res, as there's often only 1-2 intermediate steps that could cause extra loss. (E.g. the part of editing that is just 'cutting' is pass-through, but color-grading would require a second encoding step.)

Whats the point of having actual human electors if they can't be faithless? Couldn't the Founding Fathers just say tally up the electoral votes if a mechanical transition from popular to electoral votes was desired?
"Broken Window Fallacy" is something like "Breaking Windows is actually good for the economy, because money is spent on repairing windows when it otherwise wouldn't be". (The 'fallacy' is not considering the wider negative impacts).

Took essentially all the Victor tanker fleet, of which some were air to air refuelled to allow Vulcan top ups far enough out. The VC10s were only months away from being ready as tankers.

Two of the books cited in that Wikipedia article are well worth reading as a pair, as apart from both being very enjoyable, they offer opposing takes of the Vulcan raids: Sharkey Ward's Sea Harrier over the Falklands and Rowland White's Vulcan 607.

Dell is already studied as a case of corruption.

"Intel paid Dell in the form of rebates as part of an agreement to ensure that Dell would not use computer chips made by Advanced Micro Devices in its personal computers and computer servers, according to the civil charges."[1]

Dell paid the SEC $100 million in penalties, Intel $1.45 billion.

That was the precise idea - and in an age when riding from the states to DC could take a month or more, the mechanism for that tally was electors who physically travelled to DC, and were sworn to vote as they were directed by the populace.
I think sometimes it is easy to forget that SQL is but an abstraction over algorithmic processing and shaping of data. A UDF is only a way to extend the built in algorithms, albeit, one which may not be fully integrated with a given query engine architecture and therefore cannot be fully optimized without having access to the engines internals.

I would argue your answer is the best as as far as doing an actual Levenshtein distance calculation.

That being said, sort orders are implemented algorithmically by the query engine. ORDER BY in SQL Server, as I recall implements up to 7 different algorithms built in, depending on the case, as far as I recall. But those algorithms are optimized for the engine and have access to the internals.

I can think of two interesting ways to look at this, one being how one could use an open source database to extend the built in sort algorithms in the query engine, perhaps controlled by collation settings, to get a native levenshtein sort implemented that has access to internals. Collations defining the rules for sort order, but this would probably be within a column, not against a value (although if you’re extending the query engine, why not). Example of collation settings [1] and how they control the rules of sort order - perhaps a SET command to define levenshtein order and then a native extension to the Postgres query engine, and now you can sort a column by Levenshtein distances.

The other thing I was thinking was word vectors (but this is similar to Levenshtein distance) and still in a relational database requires something special. Maybe some of the full text search implementations in database could do this out of the box.

Thank you! It's pretty straight-forward: this program just retrieves assets and converts them into data-URLs (data:...), then replaces the original href/src attribute value, so in case with the same image being linked multiple times, monolith will for sure bloat the output with the same base64 data, correct. I haven't looked into MHTMTL, ashamed to admit it's the first time I'm hearing about that format. I need to do some research, maybe I could improve monolith to overcome issues related to file size, thank you for the tip!

And about Rust: I think you're way ahead of me here as well, this is my first Rust program. If you're talking about it embedding some debug info into the binary which may include things like /home/dataflow then perhaps there's a compiler option for cargo or a way to strip the binary after it's compiled. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sorry, that's the best I can tell at the moment.
If the output were a tar file, couldn’t we also say it was saving web pages as a single file? Wouldn’t that also be easier?
Could it be that perhaps his opinions... didn't depend on the result?

Seems like what you're describing is basically ideological consistency: believing the same thing both before and after it suits you, for the same stated reasons (polling places not adequately protecting the integrity of the ballot) on either side.

Hillary Clinton just tried throwing a family friend under the bus because his research led somewhere she doesn't like; does that bother you equally?
2016 was an establishment referendum election for many Americans.

The number of people struggling economically rose to a majority during Obama. That has not gone without notice.

Trump, whether it's true or not, positioned himself as an outsider. That's savvy, and potent in these times. Economic performance from both parties, in terms of ordinary working people, has been poor. It's tough for way too many people and being networked now, they know it, flat out.

Clinton was seen as Obama 2.0, and that tepid performance, along with 1000+ seat party losses made for a difficult election, given Trumps positioning and willingness to work the crowds. (It's not really a debate as to whether he intended to follow up on any of that rhetoric. He had no intent other than to win.)

All of that added up to populism. People responding to messages aimed at them.

Again, I'm not speaking the merits of the current POTUS. Just that his messaging and positioning was solid populist on economic fronts, and moderate enough on social fronts to make for a compelling package.

One must also consider very large numbers of people not voting. That share of people is actually quite large, and is larger than either party base right now. Getting those people involved basically means populist messaging right now too.

It's still going to be a referendum. The economic difficulties are still in play.

Anyway, maybe that helps frame it a bit. And it's just one way to look at it. There are several, likely valid.

Populist may not = popular, and in this case didn't.
Could not agree more. I think , spring boot + spring cloud is extremely popular in the services (should i say microservices world).

Not to say , there is a changing world. Frameworks like Quarkus , Micronaut , Javalin are changing these status quos (Reactive + Cloud native + First class Kubernetes / FaaS support + Being lean).
What remains to be seen though is how is Spring able to adapt and change to these. I dont know how Webflux stands up to these , but sure is interesting times ahead!

There was very little if any grousing about the EC compared to today (there was actually some speculation that Trump might win the popular and lose the EC) and each side agreed to the rules ahead of time.

Whining about it now is kinda like crying that you lost a game of Chess even though you took the most pieces.
This was state propaganda that was shut down.
Nowhere in the article does he entertain the notion of finding an artist willing to join as a partner and go 50-50 (or 80-20) on equity/revshare. He only frets about the cost of hiring employees on wage.

Yes, I saw that too.

I really like your Chess analogy.

Fact is Clinton did not have her priorities in order and she lost because her choices did not result in her doing the work to win. They did result in a large pop vote total though.

Sure seems to me this is a discussion on how best to run a campaign that offers up a compelling VOTE FOR proposition to win, rather than a "let's ditch the EC" conversation.

-----

Edit, due to rate limit, intended for comment below.

You are right. It's not!

So then, those people looking to be leaders should take the rules in play at the time we are making the democracy happen pretty seriously right?

I think so, which is precisely why I authored the comment above. Doing the work to win the election involves working the process as it is defined at the start of the contest, not what one may wish were true at that time.

Secondly, should we change that process, and I'm not opposed to doing that, should we not change that process based on actual problems, not contrived ones based on poor judgement?

I will read any response with great interest -->Tomorrow. The rate limit is not a negative thing. Time to move on to better things. Cheers all!
