The issue for me is that it would ask me to review places I didn't ask for directions to. It would notice I had gone through a drive through and ask me to review the restaurant. It would ask me to review a furniture store I walked past on my way to work.

I don't want an app passively collecting data on me while I'm not using it.
It seems to be too early to tell. There are most likely a lot of undocumented infected cases as well as the incubation period for the virus might be different than the flu. Which can move mortality rate both ways.
When developers complain about being verbose and not a great language for coders, I counter that it doesn't exist to solve programming problems, but rather organizational problems. The killer feature that launched Java wasn't crap like checked exceptions, it was javadoc. Strict, self-documenting APIs are 10X more valuable than any intrinsic language feature.
I hear Apple is pretty responsive about correcting reported errors. There's error reporting inside the app that includes a spot to attach a photo. Of course, this can be problematic when driving and I much prefer Waze's error reporting.
What you are describing certainly isn't unique to microservices.
Data Warehouses are (usually) not optimized for individual inserts, updates, deletes (DMLs). Loading data into DWHs is usually done through copy/ingestion commands where aggregated/batched data is copied from blob storage (s3, azure, etc...) to a staging table in the DWH.

In a non-append-only scenario, Debezium tracks each source operation (insert, update, delete) from the replication log (oplog, binlog, etc) as an individual operation that's emitted into a kafka topic. How does one efficiently replicate this to a Data Warehouse in an efficient manner?

I have not been able to use Debezium as way to replicate to a Data Warehouse for this very reason. At least not without having to resort to very complicated data warehouse merge strategies.

Note, there exist Data Warehouses that allow tables to be created in either OLAP or OLTP flavor. I understand that Debezium could easily replicate to an OLTP staging table. But are there any solutions if this isn't an option?
This seems like a good framing to get non-progressives behind social safety net programs - lowering the cost of risk taking/innovation and allowing for more ideas for the market to sort out.

I call B.S.. He's conflating two things. One is a deployment infrastructure, another is an application pattern. I can deploy a monolith in k8s and I can deploy micro-services on a single server or a fleet of on-prem servers using any of the legacy dev-ops deployment automation tools. Sure k8s makes doing micro-services easier because it’s got a lot of the raw building blocks necessary to handle the CD process but in no way are the two concepts related. They’re tackling different problems. He's making the same mistake that he's criticizing others for by equating the two. What he is really describing is an organization doing a “big bang” refactor with poor planning and execution.
No one has mentioned this yet - Apple Maps provides a very accurate representation of traffic:

RED - Actually red (unlike Google Maps)... its bumper to bumper or less than 5 mph (8 kph)

ORANGE - Slow moving, perhaps less than (25 mph or 40 kph)

Google just shows everything RED. Yellow doesn't necessarily mean slow down in Google Maps. Its a mess.

Also, Apple maps is tremendously accurate in estimating how long it is going to take.

Major feature missing in Apple maps: Time it takes at a user specified hour. I use this to hunt for apartments, and test out how long it is going to take to and from work everyday. Google has this built in for a while "Leave at ____ time).
Forgot this one.

"Lt. Jack ReVelle, the bomb disposal expert responsible for disarming the device, claimed "we came damn close" to a nuclear detonation that would have completely changed much of eastern North Carolina.[10] He also said the yield of each bomb was more than 250 times the destructive power of the Hiroshima bomb, large enough to create a 100% kill zone within a radius of 8.5 miles (13.7 km).[14]"

For myself personally, it depends on what I'm thinking about. Thinking about writing this sentence, I hear each of the words I'm going to type in my head before I type them.

However, if I'm working out how to assemble a table, I'm not hearing "And now I screw the leg on" I just abstractly know that's what I'm going to do.

I have to imagine that's the case for at least most people. Thinking out complicated abstract concepts in internally verbalized words just seems like it would take forever.
I hope everyone now understands why every seemingly-batshit conspiracy regarding the crack/cocaine epidemic exists: because there truly are people in this world who would absolutely stoop so low.

And a reminder to the people realizing how bad a drug epidemic can be now that it's hit close to home: opioids primarily hit middle class families with the means to get prescription drugs at all, and have largely been treated in public discourse as a tragic public health crisis. No imagine how devastating a similar crisis would be to people with a fraction of the resources and who were constantly demonized in the media.

We have to do better by each other so we can be better to ourselves.
They dock from the side. It works with Linux too except I have this annoying bug where my attached monitor turns off and back on randomly a few times per day.
What about the next line?

"Our greatest concern is the potential for this virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems which are ill-prepared to deal with it."

I'd call it simply stating their reasoning rather than 'tip-toeing' or 'artificial praise'.
Hive and Impala are databases.

Presto and SparkSQL are SQL interfaces to many different datasources, including Hive and Impala, but also any SQL database such as Postgres/Redis/etc, and many other types of databases, such as Cassandra and Redis; the SQL tools can query all these different types of databases with a unified SQL interface, and even do joins across them.

The difference between Presto and SparkSQL is that Presto is run on a multi-tenant cluster with automatic resource allocation. SparkSQL jobs tend to have to be allocated with a specific resource allocation ahead of time. This makes Presto is (in my experience) a little more user-friendly. On the other hand, SparkSQL has better support for writing data to different datasources, whereas Presto pretty much only supports collecting results from a client or writing data into Hive.

That sounds nice in theory, but there's no literature backing this up.
I think TPUs are great, but I don't understand what you mean by saying they can support "300 GB backprop" on a single device.

A TPU v3 has 16 GB of high-bandwidth memory per TPU core:
https://cloud.google.com/tpu/docs/system-architecture

Sure, you can network together a bunch of TPUs to get access to more memory (in either a data parallel or model parallel way), but that doesn't give you more memory on the same chip. It's basically the same way you would do things on a GPU cluster.
My advice would be to actually keep your job and work on your startup at the same time. Clearly, this is not for everyone - it can put a lot of pressure, but I do think it's sustainable 1-2 years.

Now, 60K in savings, in my mind is zero. I mean, you do need to live, and also working in your startup - very likely you'll need to spend at least 2-3K/month. You'll end up with no money in 6 months, and with your morals completely down.

If I was living in Canada, I'd keep an at least $200K safety net.
Are you implying people hate Android and that iOS is way bigger in terms of market share?
Mailjet, even though it is owned by Mailgun, has a higher free tier.

Sendgrid is owned by Twillio, and has a similar free tier.

Ses is pretty cheap, for 500 mails, it is essentially free.

Or get a dedicated IP, use mailinabox or other similar one click setups.
Exactly. Have an initial import functionality in onboarding, where the user could somehow import their currently saved content. Thereafter you could have an extension that implements a 'save to unearth' button cleanly into reddit's UI.
It's not just politics. This is matter of trying to placate China so that they don't hide numbers from international/outside health organizations to save face.

My understanding is that China was less than forthcoming about actual infection/death rates when SARS was making it's rounds.

Disclaimer: I do not have a source for this. This is heresay from the hubub around the current crisis so take it with a grain of salt.
Well 170/~7000 is ~2.4% which is about 8x deadlier.
What happened to Idris? As someone who knows absolutely nothing about Haskell, I thought Idris was essentially Haskell+dependent types?
Yes! We have it on our todo list to have you test out Vitess.
It's probably less of a difference than you might think. Dreams are generally less detailed than you might think from their portrayal on TV. What they are really good at are convincing the dreamers that they are a great deal more detailed than they really are, because they're on the "inside" of the cognition; you might "see" a vaguely round blotch of color like what you may see when you close your eyes, but you cognitively "know" it's a ball or a face or the vanguard of the invading alien fleet that have been sent to Earth to determine whether or not your family shall live or die based on whether or not they brush their teeth for a prime number of seconds or something. People can't tell they're dreaming not because the dreams are amazing 8K HD accurate displays with surround sound, but because the critical faculties needed to know if you're dreaming are just off.

(I've been keeping my eye on those efforts to reverse visualize dreams via neural scanning. I have a pet theory that they're already nearly at the maximum resolution they'll ever have, because in reality there isn't that much visual data in the dream. I suspect the vast bulk takes place higher in the cognitive stack.)
Global deaths due to seasonal influenza are in that range.
I guess this also depends a lot on the type of product you build. For me, we are building a piece of software that we ship to customers, so the release cadence is limited by many factors outside engineering anyway.

But I can see how on a live service-type product, microservices would help a lot more on this front.
I think I prefer the poking around analogy. I can immediately visualize why it's bad, and it doesn't have the word "tantamount".
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function
That still doesn't explain the complete absence of a candidate which breaks rank on those two issues but otherwise plays by the progressive playbook.
The official figures in China are 8,163 cases 171 deaths which is 2% right now, but take these with a big grain of salt. They could go up (some of those confirmed cases will be very recent and may get worse) or down (more cases might have happened but be unreported). Its really hard to tell what it will look like in a month or two.
I wonder what a "jury of peers" would look like in these cases.
Someone has to be first, why not their biggest customer? How would you sort the priority list?
On the word of mouth front:
I started music group on various platforms; Play 3 Playlist Fridays

Basic premise is that on Fridays people share their own 3 song playlist of whatever genre, theme, etc that they care to. I'd say it has been moderately successful. 3 songs once a week is a low enough bar for contribution, but still high enough that people tend to put some actual thought into it.
I would not say that my internal monologue is entirely auditory, but there's an auditory element to it. I sometimes sort of 'see' the words or concept I'm thinking about, and if i focus on it, I think I can switch from one to the other.
Global numbers are more interesting.
Geany works very well for me.
This is exactly why I won't use it. In my entire driving live, which is a long time, I had exactly one accident, and that was three years ago, a small fender bender that they paid $0 to other parties. My rates shot up. They ignore the 25 years of flawless driving before that, and the safety courses I've taken.
“Save face”. Unfortunately there is a LOT to unpack in that statement, and will continue to be a difficult problem throughout the coming century.

Something I've done most of my life is to actively pre-imagine the way I would phrase different concepts to people with different backgrounds, before even having a context in which to use those wordings. Like as soon as a nonverbal concept enters my mind I start trying out an explanation, testing it against a hypothetical person, seeing how the words "sound" together and guessing at what misunderstandings they might have and adjusting and refining it until I feel like it would come across clearly, and then I just tuck those words away in the back of my head in case I end up needing them.
Overuse of esoteric acronyms is OOMBPP.
So, if people "see words" when they think them - what did they see before their inner eye when they were kids and couldn't read yet (and therefore couldn't assign meaning to written words).

Kind of mis-leading...

Historically they've been very careful. No DNS, you don't get to send to non-verified test emails. High bounce rate? No more mailing for you until you contact them and explain.

All in all they seem reasonably switched on and protective of their IP addresses.
The states mentioned aren't doing the above much better.
89.3 The Current -- based out of Minneapolis -- has a great selection. Totally independent. Not all the DJs play the same music, which is a double-edged sword, but you can count on healthy variety of new and old and many genres.

These calculations assume that no one else infected dies. Seems overly optimistic, especially given that ~1200 patients are in serious or critical condition.
That's a good way to get shot, beaten, or stabbed. You're worried about the wrong ambulance bill.
I used to listen to Radio Paradise some years ago, had forgotten about it. They are really good. This is kind of interesting:

"Radio Paradise got its start in Paradise, California (hence the name...). Paradise is a peaceful little town in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, far from the big city stress & turmoil. Our goal is to bring a little Paradise into your life, wherever you're located."

I first heard of Paradise from this station, and considered moving there a few years ago to be closer to my daughter in nearby Chico. A bit over a year ago Paradise was tragically hit by a huge wildfire nearly wiped the town off the map and reduced the population by 90%. It sounds like Radio Paradise moved away before the fire, since they still imply that Paradise is stress free, etc. ... I don't see a single mention of the fire on the site. That seems really odd to me.
I wonder if there is any javascript or python anywhere in the F35 software
I think you're off by a few orders.
Other comments mentioned Apple had issues correcting streets/routes because they had to be corrected downstream (they licensed from places like TomTom). Part of the goal of this update is to bring it all in-house improving the turnaround time.

I wonder if your corrections, like phone numbers, we're on Apple's end and much easier to correct?
It’s actually about 27x - 80x deadlier than 0.03% - 0.09%
California rejects SB 50, a push for denser development near transit
Some Doctors are absolutely devoid of morals and ethics, just like some teachers, some developers... some everything's - I think it's misleading at best to pull out a study as refutation that involved hundreds of doctors in a country of 300 million.

My entirely anecdotal experience has been that most Doctors aren't in it for the ferrari, but instead are trying to help improve people's lives.
That wasn't necessarily meant to be derogatory. And you are right, there is indeed a lot to unpack. My wording there might be a bit too glib.
Microservices solves an organizational problem not a software one.
Weirdly, I think that his theory makes sense without leaning on bicameralism at all. Internal monologues could be a recent development with very few obvious physical changes in the brain that caused it, and the cultural interpretation of it could have changed.

People think of the idea of 'the mind' and 'the self' being obvious and self evident, but they are anything but, and it took a lot of brilliant philosophers and poets to come up with words to talk about it and metaphors to use. It seems completely believable to me that bronze age people did not have a clear understanding of what thought was and what was doing the thinking.
This is how I felt when I found out I have Aphantasia

I think this kind of trial and error is actually the best way of learning an instrument. My guitar teacher did exactly what you did (but on a keyboard) when he was a kid, and even got feedback from his parents on whether he hit the right keys. He's a hell of a guitar player now, surely among the (subjectively) very best in my country.
There used to be a lot more defense contractors during the cold war. Also, more accountability. So there was competitive pressure to be seen as an organization that could reliably deliver projects. Over the years, many of the major companies merged, then shifted strategies to geographically dispersing their jobs to bolster congressional support.

Take the Joint Strike Fighter / F-35 for example: 4 bids. Lockheed won the contract but subcontracts major parts to another JSF bidder (Northrop) and Boeing/MD ending up merging. The whole thing is so incestuous.
“How did the human cross the road?”
I wrote a famous Javascript in '97, went onto make some very complex GWT and Silverlight apps where I had to figure out how to do complex choreography with the server despite asynchronous communications long before most people understood there was a problem...

Despite that (or because of that?) I was a hater on SPAs throughout most of the 2010. I know agencies that did PHP/ColdFusion/ASP work before 2005 or Ruby on Rails work 2005-2010 who found their customers were asking for SPAs and they just couldn't sell the traditional sites anymore.

I think it's a situation that people blundered into. Web forms weren't originally designed to make complex applications. At the beginning you typically made a web form and then had the form POST to a cgi-script at a different URL. (e.g. Back them you had a static HTML page and a separate Perl script in your cgi-script directory)

If you wanted to validate the form you were in trouble because doing that on the back end required the script to be able to display different pages depending on the content of the form, and ultimately that requires a back-end framework that separates HTML content from the exact URLs it is served as at.

Ruby on Rails was an example of the kind of framework that addresses that -- what you get when you think systematically about these issues. Around the same time Microsoft was coming out with ASP.NET which had some brilliant ideas but didn't understand that you might need to display a different page at the same URL, then they got ASP.NET MVC that threw out all the good things from ASP.NET. On top of that there were many frameworks and apps that did very bad things keeping session state on the server that led to major bugs.

The SPA answers many of those issues by having (medium term) persistent state on the front end rather than having to have something that manages that state cooperatively between the front end and back end.

I did a lot of home automation and related work recently and that got me looking at cross-platform GUI frameworks and I found that these were uniformly awful. For instance if you are working in Python you can use tkinter or GWT but the Python side isn't really documented so you have to look at the Python docs, source code, and the tk or C or C++ docs to guess what you're supposed to do. I kinda liked JavaFX but it is being phased out...

I got back into programming React-style SPAs for work, and I finally got over my hate for SPAs and (particularly) Electron.

Yes, it's annoying to install 20 crapplets on your machine that are all 30 - 32 MB in size, but just try using any other x-platform gui framework and Electron, React-Native and other web derived things look good.
So does it follow from that that the entire concept is flawed, and what should have been designed instead are multiple different aircraft?
I strongly encourage people to block ads. Ublock Origin is free and extremely simple to use, and it will get rid of all of the pre-roll advertising you see on Youtube.

IMO the only reason at this point for anyone of any technical level not to be running an adblocker is if they have some kind of ethical objection to blocking ads in general. And even in that case, I encourage people to leave their adblocker enabled on Youtube and just pay for Youtube Premium on the side.

One thing I try to get across to people is that pervasive advertising has harmful side-effects that are difficult to see when you're used to that state. I started universally blocking ads on the web, in media, in apps; I got really aggressive about blocking unwanted content. And I very quickly noticed a change in how long I could focus on content, how quickly I absorbed information, how much effort it was to consume things or interact with things.

It was noticeable enough that I don't think of advertising as free anymore -- you're paying a real cost in mental ability, in your energy. Ads have an effect on your psyche, on how you see the world. I don't think it's healthy.
LSD turns off some people's inner monologue.

Anyway, I'd like to know more about the visible / observable differences between people who have inner monologues and those who don't.
This isn’t the case in the uk, anyone can start a business
This is also my experience. In Denmark they have a startup scene of sorts, but they literally only fund startups that are by the "right" people or are trendy. I never saw anything get funded on merit, just if you are Danish and in particular, if you came from the elite socioeconomic strata. I never saw any interest in if the idea was sound, if the kid applying for the money actually knows anything about it, etc. It always seemed like if you were a rich white guy, they had cash to throw your way. And yes, its 100% a case of winners being picked, which is why almost none of these companies actually works. They think that just because the kid is Danish that the market wants his idea. They are usually wrong.
That 2% is only among those confirmed. When most people get sick they just stay home, then get better and never visit hospital or get into confirmed cases. Those who die usually have some other disease as well.
