> To write efficient big queries, you need to think in terms of data flow and write declarative SQL with an execution plan in mind; it reminds me of my days tweaking source code to encourage a compiler to make certain register allocation decisions.

That mirrors my experience with Oracle. The only difference is that there's a hinting mechanism provided which will almost always allow you to force the execution plan you want.

There are a few gaps but a brand new and refreshed platform is being launched in Q3 2020
I was on the DBA team there around that MAU. I had lots of company and support from SRO (aka jr DBA's) as well as other teams (provisioning, etc...).

That's not really a fair comparison. I don't think WebGL and SVG allow you to do the type of animation OP is referring to.

Furthermore, ConstraintLayout is a brand-new layout manager. Totally agree that there's bugs in it but nothing that could be called arcane knowledge. Do you have any examples for the actually arcane layout managers? Relative, Layout, etc?
> Turns out if your hash function is N bits you will need to have 2^(N/2) items before see two hashed to the same thing by chance.

No no no. That's not how probability works. You will see that many on average, but you don't "need to" anything before you can see a collision. You could get collisions on the next 100 files. It's just unlikely. The bitspace bounds the denominator of match probability for each file independently, it does not count files. Unlikely events happen all the time somewhere.
I wish there was a way to contribute to plugins in WP.org. Everything in there still feels so archaic.
That would absolutely be a valid reason to build the service like that; the medical community thought that only an excess of opioids would be a problem, and it directly improves the numbers they're evaluated on.
However, once the medical community gets wise to what an awful idea that was, I hope that when the software providers hear about this they try to figure out a way to mitigate the damage they're causing. This feature was added in 2016.

Though, I think we agree that you cannot make an ethical decision on which action you should take unless you have any idea of what the consequences of your actions will be.
What are typical data sizes for this?

I think the OLAP term has been around a long time, some OLAP tasks of the past are probably not so huge today, I wonder if the shrunked-by-time tasks are still called OLAP or if the smaller ones are implemented differently.
That’s neat. Does anyone know why they are targeting a 3D animation workload, specifically? Is there software for rendering ran on Linux machines that’s used in industry?
Either Google or someone else w/ a vengeance follows me around and downvotes me haha.
It hasn't been this way for a while (since the early 2000s, I think), most things lookup DNS SRV records now, and before that most things provided a field to enter a different server address.

For my fellow HNers, this is "private cloud" in the meaning of Owncloud, not of Openstack.
Where do you get such low prices for dedicated rigs? Well anyway, looks like you haven't tried to roll your own ES cluster on bare metal hosts - I've got more throughput than yours with 2 Graylog hosts backed by 5x bare metal ES instances. With all benefits of web interface for less tech savvy people, structured logs, analytics and data exposure through unified API. All of these for less than 2k/mo. If I lived in wonderland with server prices like yours, our check would be less than 1k/mo.
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics such as Levaquin (no longer manufactured, only generics now [you can not sue the makers of generics in most states]), Cipro etc. should be removed from the market due to their devastating side effects.

My late wife's Journal was part of the 2015 FDA hearing about getting these restricted from doctors giving them out like candy. Alas all we got was yet more "Black Box" warnings that you and the doctors never see.

Karen ultimately killed herself from the Chronic Pain cause by the Levaquin and Cerebrospinal Leaks (CSF Leaks). Her saga is one of the five stories in the upcoming documentary Pain Warriors being released to distribution this spring.

I'm now up to 44 people that have told me that their own CSF Leak started after taking Levaquin, Cipro etc. Something that there is ZERO medical research on. The Leak doctors are aware of this as I spoke about it at their first ever CSF Leak conference.

Someone here will inevitably say "I took Cipro et.al just fine". Many people do take it may times until they have a reaction or they don't associate their new health problems with the delayed reaction months later.

Antibiotics in general are a good thing, however we must never assume they are safe in and of themselves without consequences.
I work in this world. This is just one company of many doing the exact same thing. We're going to need a lot more investigative journalists.

No-shows usually go to the bottom of my list and I’ll only engage with them via email after they’ve burned me once. I don’t lecture them because I understand life happens but further engagements are on my terms.

No-shows don’t affect me now because I have all meetings come to my workplace or to my small business office if I’m working from there. Once they’ve arrived if necessary we’ll then go to our intended location TOGETHER (ie. lunch, coffee).

When I’m traveling I rarely have meetings outside of the hotel I’m staying in.

I got burnt twice by a founder of a local hot startup a few years ago and made this change after dealing with him. It’s made things much easier.

Designing the tools that providers use to treat patients is exceedingly difficult and filled with moral hazards.

What makes this instance so pernicious is that it was involved in what is now a national crisis, but it's not very different to what a flu vaccination manufacturer could do, and which would raise no eyebrows in the eyes of the public or the government.

Medicine is one of those fields where the discrepancy of what patients think it is and what it actually is is wide enough to cause outrage at every single thing.

DaVinci Resolve may be one use case. It's profesionally used video editing up to 8K footage and has free versions that run on Linux. It is actually pretty damn resource intensive when you are "rendering" the final version of a video with all your modifications.
Matrix will likely never take off, sadly. I was hoping for an alternative for a while too, but not having a proper standards body to advocate for and push the standard probably means it's not displacing XMPP any time soon. Also the protocol just isn't great for chat; if you need a giant distributed graph database, great, but for chat it's just very heavy.
This was anonymized data, but of course you de-anonymize a lot of it if you get raw data and you have reasons to put effort into it (e.g. you can find the account ID based on the exact purchase time and then follow his journey because of an unique anonymous ID). I don't think the intent was to spy on individuals, but it's not easy (or possible?) to truly anonymize data without loosing 99% of the information value.
That all depends on Starlink supporting point to point inside their network. Also that path will be more zig-zaggy than the great circle fiber path and importantly will vary during the day as the satellite tracks shift relative to earth. [0]

[0] Unless their in a harmonic orbit I guess not 100% sure abou that one. There should always be some jitter in the connection time just from the satellites moving even if their ground tracks are very stable.
A move in the right direction. In terms of more low-tech cryptocurrency waste reduction ideas, a few years back there were some companies making water boilers powered by mining units. I wonder how well this idea works at different scales.
I'm not sure about your calculation. A business with only 29% gross profit margin wouldn't be able to survive on the app store because they'd have to give 30% to apple.

Isn't this just duplicating effort that's probably already been done, in many cases by the first-party maintainers, in Dockerfiles?

I don't mean to start 'Docker vs. Ansible', I just wonder why if you wanted a quick way to setup a single-server 'own private cloud' you wouldn't just go with what already exists, and list the images you want in a docker-compose.yaml file?

(Which would additionally set you up for 'scaling' if you had any concern that you might be able to save some cash with a two or three smaller servers than one big one by the time you'd installed everything you want.)
> I haven't benchmarked this yet

if you don't measure, you're just guessing.

> after my first experiences with somewhat complex data transformations in numpy and pandas

there are fast ways and slow ways to use numpy/pandas, but generally speaking, it's easy to get order of magnitude improvements using pandas compared to an RDBMS.

In pandas, for example, the data from a column is a contiguous in-memory array. Generally RDBMS data is row-oriented, possibly in memory or possibly on disk. Performing some numerical operation on the contiguous array is going to play to the cpu's strengths much better.
But React is more open source and flexible. Microsoft has embraced React and RN via their react-native-windows project, they are currently rewriting it from C# to C++, so it must be important.

They use it for Skype and other products.

Google isn't built on Flutter, not the important parts. Facebook has been building their stuff w/ React. They have over 10,000 components, I doubt they'll abandon it.

Even if they do, React is much more flexible and open, it doesn't have a compiler or language tied to it either. If Google drops Flutter, you're fucked.

The air conditioner is nearly 100 years old, and yet it hasn't evolved

See https://globalcoolingprize.org/

This groundbreaking competition is designed to incentivize development of a residential cooling solution that will have at least five times (5X) less climate impact than standard Residential/ Room Air Conditioners (RAC) units in the market today. This technology could prevent up to 100 gigatons (GT) of CO2-equivalent emissions by 2050, and put the world on a pathway to mitigate up to 0.5˚C of global warming by 2100, all while enhancing living standards for people in developing countries around the globe.

Cool.
What do you mean? All you have to do is package the plugin and submit it for approval for it to be posted.
I've slowly been developing the opposite habit. Over the years I've become more interested in how articles are digested by people without an agenda (which the modern, salaried digital author may be increasingly pressured to succumb to). Reception is demonstrated in comment sections, and that sometimes feels like a more pure read, stripped of whatever fluff or flair a journalist may feel compelled to add (accelerated portfolio enrichment attempt? Agenda implies bonus payment).

We can assume these may also be populated by automatically generated comments to suggest support or rejection of the content. Sometimes this leads me into [rabbit-hole] investigations through a user's post history if I am significantly moved by their angle(s).

I needn't read anything more than the title, as the meat content would likely just be an assimilation of empirical evidence and/or gossip. I'm not even going to bother turning off ad blocker or using archive.is with this one - in aggregate I just see it as yet another "distrust [insert internet company] with your data" offensive (defensive?) campaign.
If you think your government isn't collecting as much as they can, then, you're likely mistaken.
Does this have a standards body behind it advocating for and developing a spec that anyone can implement? I'd argue that this is a requirement for any communication system to take off and be useful and sustainable long term.
The good practice that you seem to have read about and badly misunderstood is that the format string argument to a printf family function should always be a string literal right there in the code calling it. The concept of changing printf("foo") to printf("%s", "foo") for 'security' against your own hardcoded string literal is more bizarre than any of the intentionally bizarre convolutions in your posted project.
Is there a similar system to Guacamole that does involve encoding?

I was actually looking at this a few days ago because I've been very interested in implementing something like Google's Project Stream locally where I can render things in the browser, but frame rate is important for me.
I've been in a meeting where the amazing scalable cloud solution for the huge data warehouse was laid out. Turned out to be 500GB. Judging by the death stares I got I don't think I was supposed to say "Wow, the whole thing would fit on the 512GB SD card I bought last week".
"This probability is so low you have a higher chance of encountering a cosmic ray bit flip!"

We commonly conceive of our computers as 100% accurate, but as you observe here, for this and other reasons they aren't. The distribution of errors is exceedingly pathological; the vast majority of errors you will encounter are not independent but are highly correlated, because some particular bit of hardware is flawed in some manner.

Ignore those for a moment, and consider just the purely-random failures, like cosmic or thermal bit flips. The rate on these is still non-zero. Very small, but high enough that we've pretty much all encountered them, usually without realizing it. (While it is true that a single bit flip can bring a program down if it is the correct bit, the average bit flip will have no visible manifestation of any kind.)

This creates a "noise floor" for our computations. Any event which has a probability lower than this "noise floor" for happening can be treated as the same zero probability you treat the possibility of totally random hardware failure.

The probably of two random pieces of content having the same SHA256 hash by random chance is in practice zero, and you may write your code that way. The potential problem that one may wish to defend against is the possibility that two pieces of content have the same SHA256 hash for non-random reasons, which is to say, the possibility that it will be broken. But the defense against that is rather different. There's a lot of nasty possibilities that lie above this noise floor that still need to be dealt with.

I have seen this concept kinda bothers people sometimes. But you are justified in just ignoring anything below this noise floor. There's basically never a reason to worry about this noise floor, because once you understand what it really means, you will see you lack to the tools to deal with it. Given an error, the probability that the error is the result of some non-random systemic issue is much higher than the probability that it was a truly random error. Even if you care about reliability a lot, like in space or medicine, the problem you need to deal with is failing hardware. If you try to write code to deal with the noise floor, it is much more likely to be getting invoked due to systemic, non-random issues... after all, a "low probability" failure on a network link that corrupts one packet a day is still multiple orders of magnitude above this noise floor.
What is mysterious about them? We've known they're things like formaldehyde, flavorings, and additives to help keep them from burning out of control (and thus starting fires).
You could ask your provider to use Epic, which is none of those and can cost upwards of 10k a year per doctor.

Practice fusion is an industry leader precisely because it makes delivering care compliant and cheap for doctors.

From what I gather from my initial use of the tool, I think the main advantage of this tool is reduced window proliferation.

You basically have a bunch of commonly used tools that exist in one window (file browser client, terminal, rudimentary text/log viewers, etc.)

I went to the linked page and tried to make configuration changes - the same computer with and without Windows. I couldn't find that option.

On Dell's website, they let you do this to many of their workstation computers and it appears that the cost of Windows is around $200. What's interesting is that when they are clearing out stock and they offer some basic workstation configurations at $500 or so, you can still delete Windows and get that $200 off the price.
Oops. I actually drove on Market yesterday.
Sure, not every developer who worked on the application needs to know what would cause the modal to appear and what possible messages it might have.

But I think it likely that somewhere there was a developer who knew what that there was a query | logic function checking the patients pain relievers status etc. and a developer knowing that in the database the text came back with hey you should give this guy some oxy.

And I bet those developers talked together in implementing things so they knew stuff, but over time other people knew stuff too because there were probably little bugs like - the extra oxy recommendation text overflows in the patient suggestions window. or stuff like that.

maybe not everyone that worked on it was fully aware but there was some people that must have been like 99% aware, based on my experience in working in lots of different sized companies over the years.
SF needs to build diagonal crossing bridges (or tunnels). The traffic jams come from all the pedestrians crossing the streets.
Starlink will sell at pretty much whatever price it needs to, since serving data has effectively no marginal cost. The only unavoidable one is the ($300) base station, but people can share.
Your users want their dashboards and reports to contain data that's as up-to-date as possible. No one is happy about waiting 24 hours or more for a batch update to run if there are decisions they need to make right now. The difference vs. OLTP is that it might be acceptable for events to take minutes or even hours to be reflected in the database, vs. ~seconds or less for a transaction where the user is interacting and waiting for a confirmation.
When you have undeleted it from the trashcan or recovered it from the block device with e.g. photorec, then the picture is back and you've learned a few things.
