Mayhaps. Or, just a snapshot from the trenches of real application development.

We all have to make choices. Different pros and cons. Before jumping into, perhaps run some tests with real stuff and change direction based on that.

In application development is usually doesn't matter what the core difference is between two databases because there are drivers and mappers that you more or less have to use. I.e. the Django ORM makes PostgreSQL convenient.
Yep, California banned leaded fuel for automotives in 1992, 4 years before the United States federal government followed up.

I'm not sure how this helps. The amount of rubber used is not as important as the surface area being deteriorated, which doesn't seem to be any different from conventional tires.
They might be using both! Studies on homing pigeons [1] have found that they use atmospheric volatiles to navigate until they're in the vicinity of their home region, at which point they use landmarks (like roads or field boundaries) to navigate. So it's possible that vultures have learned that the air on this side of the river smells better than the air on that side of the river, and therefore know to turn around when they wander across.

Some technical point in addition to the other arguments: Even with WS or SSE you'd have to send keep-alive packets periodically, so you can find out if the connection has died. Those would be smaller than data for polling and the interval is not bound to your refresh rate anymore - but still more than nothing.

That's a fair point, maybe I'm looking at it from too much of a "startup-y" perspective.
Ok, then why don't you explain how exactly a non-democratic system is able to persist if no one in the country supports that regime?
Pensions for teachers are certainly common. I grew up in a completely different part of the country and all my teachers also had pensions. I'm not sure how the median income is a poor indicator -- she makes as much as the median household does for the city.

Good. With the current partisan makeup of Congress, even if they could agree on a national privacy law, it would be drastically watered down and toothless compared to California’s law, while preempting it (i.e. preventing California and other states from legislating in that area). There’s a reason that it’s industry groups, not consumer groups, who are currently pushing for such a law. Without one, at least California residents will get the benefits of the stricter version, and perhaps other blue states will pass similar laws in coming years. Meanwhile, residents of other states will at least get indirect benefits – for instance, the ability to bring class action lawsuits over data breaches will hopefully encourage companies to invest more in security.

A Sleeping Disorder That Turns Life into a Waking Dream
1) Agree, is a clear anomaly

2) Vultures DO cross frontiers and the map clearly show this in two points.

This is the expected output because vultures travel far between two points, and in some places the shortest path from points A and B in Spain is through Portugal

3) I would not discard an artifact. I don't know the specifications of the procedures but I wonder if this could be just a technical problem, bad signal in one part of the map, stronger repeaters in the frontier picking or masking signals on the other side, etc...
> It was common to hear analysts say things like, “I just love to solve problems.” But what they were really doing was solving something closer to puzzles. It’s clear to me, for example, that the janitor at my middle school solved problems when she cleaned up trash. It’s far less clear whether analysts at Capital One are solving problems or creating them.

Under the data-driven directives of Capitalism 2.0, you can have a bunch of friendly data scientists who don’t think too deeply about the models they’re building, while tutoring low-income kids on the side. As far as they’re concerned, they’re refining a bunch of computer algorithms.

Let us all remain vigilant that the puzzles we solve in code are actually solving problems, and not creating them.

Coming from a Big Data (Hadoop / AWS) background, I would say that SQL is a good choice for analyzing data once it is in the data warehouse, but it is not needed to get the data there.
Most of the ETL code in this environment is based on Apache Spark 2.x and either Scala or Python as programming language. On a Hortonworks HDP cluster, you would use PySpark directly; on AWS, you would use AWS Glue which allows you to set up and schedule the PySpark code.
Although PySpark does not stop you from using SQL, there is a preference to write the transformations in terms of native Spark functions.
So, to answer the question: no, SQL is not a primary tool of choice for implementing ETL pipelines in 2019 - PySpark is.

The fishing gets me. I used to fish from the shoreline a lot, but when I went snorkeling in a couple of beautiful places in the world all the lost tackle and line just made me angry at my past self. It's very hard to fish from the shoreline without leaving trash everywhere.

It's hard to think that every dollar I spent on tackle was a dollar I spent polluting the shoreline. It was out of sight, so it was out of mind.

I remember this incredible natural aquarium, formed in a wide, deep circular depression of a coral reef. And a single 30m piece of neon line riiight through the middle of it. Doubtless, it was left by a fisherman who swore at losing another $2 sinker, with no concept of what else they'd just done.
It has dual monitor awareness built in and assumed, which vanilla Windows 10 does not.

For example, tapping a link on one screen opens the browser on the opposite screen, always.

That simply doesn't happen on vanilla Windows 10, as the OS isn't aware of the concept of multiple displays at that level. To most of Windows, you appear to simply have a single large display when you are using multiple displays. There are plenty of things with multiple monitor awareness, but it isn't inherent as it is with 10 X.

They do, just like every nation does. The North Korean government persists, and does what it does, because it has the support of a majority of its people. No government, no matter how autocratic, can continue without popular support (or an occupying force, which is certainly not the case in NK). That's why the maxim is true.

Ah, I more fully understand your complaint. (Now only 1/4 related and 1/8 serious.)

I thought you were opposed to nondescriptive names, but instead you just want to have a minimal set of orthogonal constructs which can be combined together on an ad-hoc basis to create meaning. So your ideal code looks like this:

It uses the same amount of rubber on the part that matters for the subject. The microplastics in this case are not caused by the total rubber content, but the rubber that is lost through road wear, and that will be the same on the airless tires, as it cannot be changed without impacting the grip (or the cars will have the same problems as the trains discussed above - huge stopping distance, unable to go up a >2% slope without special tricks).
Well, the biggest issue I see right now is extreme polarization and tribal warfare. If Trump or any zeitgeist democrat wins in 2020, this will continue and probably worsen. We can't really solve problems and get to substantive policies as long as this is the case.

If Yang or Tulsi were at the helm, I think a lot of tribalism fuel would dissipate and significantly calm things down. Thus giving us a shot to actually focus on problems and solutions instead of just endlessly slinging arrows back and forth.
Home page has 32 WCAG "errors" not factoring in the poor contrast ratio. Seems harsh but I'm doing a lot of ADA/WCAG work lately and it's just something you can't "unsee" once you've been exposed to the guidelines.

The code errors themselves are minor, mostly missing alt tags and form labels. It would not take a lot of work to make the home page compliant, besides the color corrections which (always) present difficulty for the designers.

Because good and hard work

In Spain there is a recent strong culture of protecting this birds, as result of the work for the last decades of several spanish associations like Fapas, Seo Birdlife or Grefa.

And because money

The farmers in this places are supposed to pay for removing dead sheep and cattle corpses by law, but they often pretend that the cattle was lost, look to other point whereas the vultures do the job for free and save the money.

> Unlike in the EPI analysis, however, teachers (the black dots on the chart) receive a salary premium of 9% once their shorter work year is accounted for.

This is exactly where the article fell apart for me. There is no "shorter work year". Assuming that a teacher has zero work responsibilities when school's "out" (even setting aside summer school programs, "track"-based schedules, etc.) betrays a gross misunderstanding of exactly how much work a typical teacher has to do outside of class hours. Lesson planning alone is a major time sink, especially at a middle or high school level when you'll often be teaching entirely different classes with entirely different curricula (for example: a history teacher might be teaching both regular and AP variants of both US History and US Government; this is, in fact, exactly what my grandpa did).
But again: why is it bad if white people are in power? What’s wrong with white people?
Interesting! Including the iOS game? I would not think so?
Why are white people expats when the rest of us are immigrants ?

" Defined that way, you should expect that any person going to work outside of his or her country for a period of time would be an expat, regardless of his skin colour or country. But that is not the case in reality; expat is a term reserved exclusively for western white people going to work abroad.

Africans are immigrants. Arabs are immigrants. Asians are immigrants. However, Europeans are expats because they can’t be at the same level as other ethnicities. They are superior. Immigrants is a term set aside for ‘inferior races’. "

Yes, which is odd as only a few months ago was talking to a Polish electrician who was complaining about it, and had a friends over the years go on about it. So there are many conversations I wish I could time travel and go, really?

Sorry for my confusions, though all did have families back home, so may of been a factor or some tax aspect perhaps as I didn't delve. Though did recall reading an article upon the bbc (though had no luck finding it), but that may of been over 10 years ago knowing me at times.

Good idea. May i suggest that you clarify right off the bat what the ideological leaning on the platform are. Save half the country some time.
Here's one of my current use cases: We have a folder tree table in our (formerly nested sets, then closure table, now materialized path), and we cache a materialized version of the path with the folder names. There are some places in the app where you can look up a node by its full path, and this column should conceptually be unique. Obviously an unindexed VARCHAR(2048) is bad to filter on, but MySQL indexes can only cover the first 767 bytes (we used utf8mb4). So we have another column, PathHash CHAR(40) AS (SHA1(path)) VIRTUAL, and then a unique index on that.
From the footnotes they say they are a flawed measure but more available than other figures.

I worked in dementia care for a number of years. When we would get a new admission we would do mini mental state exams to determine a sort of baseline as to where they were mentally such as seen here : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/gap/cgi-bin/GetPdf.cgi...

You would ask things like can you tell me today's date. Do you know what season July is in? I will name 3 items have them repeat them and tell them they need to remember them in a little bit. Then you ask again about those objects and see if they can recall. The test goes on and has a bunch of questions which at the end you score. So I could see them doing something similar in this situation where they test cognitive ability and then retest it a month later. These exams I think would be a pretty good baseline to mark improvement.
You’d hate my work, we shoehorn everything we can into the database, with a nice simple API layer of versioned stored procedures in front. It’s easy to test and enforce the business logic, and then it can be easily utilized across web, mobile apps, custom apps, and third parties.

Works great if you’re sure you won’t ever need to scale huge horizontally. One of my RoR apps connects to a schema of views, with instead of triggers calling procedures for updates. Something like 30 normalized tables are rolled up into 5 denormalized views, leaving hardly any ActiveRecord woes and still excellent performance.
