No...this is how you measure performance. If you are paying an active manager like Buffet to manage money for you, you want them to do better than a dumb strategy like "just buy the whole index". That is why relative performance matters here.

This isn't supposed to inspire pity or something. It's supposed to give you information about the possible deterioration of his edge. Which isn't to say that it gives you much information about that, just, that's its point.

What you said here is the equivalent of going to a basketball game and saying that it doesn't make sense to talk about which team was better because they both scored points.
I'm getting a feeling of dread now. I'm using an ORM at the moment (Facebook's 'ent' in Go) but I don't know what the underlying queries and performance are like.

I guess I'll just build my application and review the queries / performance cost further down the line. He said hopefully.
I just don't know what separates the working class developers from the "other" kinds of developers. I'm a 9-to-5 working developer, and I don't use PHP.

The reason it doesn't happen anymore is that a) surplus + international trade is used to hedge against localized disaster, and b) we've been lucky so far. So sure, we've invented canning and freezing, but we've also invented just-in-time inventory. So unless you stock a season's worth of canned goods, or have someone with a large private farm in your social circles, good luck getting food long-term if a continental-scale food shortage strikes.

Downside is that Loki can't handle high-cardinality labels, such as a `Request-Id`, IP-addresses or user-ids.

I'd be happy to move from ELK to Loki, but no option to filter on IP-address or User-IDs is a big drawback.

It's an open issue though, so may be added in the future:

Git in JavaScript and picking the right OSS project for your needs
Maybe it would help if the US took a look at how other countries handle this. For the money that the US pays (per capita) for Medicare, the UK manage to cover everybody, yet the US only covers elderly people. Americans are already paying for socialised health care, they're just not receiving it, and are expected to pay extra, and a lot extra, to get their own coverage.

There's an immense amount of inefficiency that can be cut from the system. This won't be easy of course, but it's absolutely possible. Every single other wealthy country manages it. Every time Americans claim it cannot be done in their country, I'm surprised at that "cannot do spirit". The US used to have a very different attitude about such challenges in the past. What happened?

If anyone hasn't caught on to this yet:

You can not trust any review on Amazon anymore, not even from verified buyers. Resellers of Chinese goods will have people (there are facebook groups) to "buy" these goods and leave a 5-star review for a refund.

Depending on what you get, you may get a fake good, or genuine products that failed QA, or similar products with less QA from the same factory, or old tranches, or goods with short best-before dates, goods with a different composition of ingredients, goods with harmful substances as filler and so forth. If you buy refurbished goods, chances are pretty good you will run into region lock or quality issues with no recourse, as brands will refuse (e.g. Apple) to offer support!
Even if this is not the norm, it will sooner or later happen to you.

Therefore:

-> Do not buy any brand product that costs above an amount you feel comfortable to just lose. Assume you will getting a no name product, then you are fine.
Otherwise, try to buy at a store or better, directly at the company. Save yourself the headache.

-> Do not buy things that go into your body, except if the seller is the manufacturer.

-> Do not buy goods that run without supervision, may catch on fire or otherwise damage their surrounding. Do not assume stickers of "CE certification" (or whatever applies in your country) are genuine. There is still no effective recourse by law enforcement in these cases.

This does not mean that everything is fake or bad quality, but you do not need to take this risk in cases where real harm may occur. Most brands sell their goods directly from their own website, which also usually gives you better support.
Do that!

Edit: I realize this PSA is probably useless on this platform as people here are generally pretty aware about these things. But do spread this information for more naive buyers. You really only need to get poisoned, burnt or lose significant amounts of money once.
Doesn't that depend entirely on how many Italians end up catching it?

Or alternatively, don't, because the message from management is that maintenance takes a back seat to shipping new features.

For example, my team has been using a home-brewed NodeJS-to-Kafka library. Now, everyone on the team understands that this library is suboptimal in a number of ways (most notably because the developer who wrote it is no longer with the company) and that it should be replaced by some alternative from Github. But this is a change that will require quite a few downstream changes (mostly because the way the existing library was used was not well-factored).

There's no way of doing this change without it being a separate story. It's just too big a change. It's also not really something that is easy to do efficiently in an incremental fashion -- having two Kafka libraries simultaneously in the codebase is an even worse situation to be in than having a single, suboptimal library. And management is not willing to authorize a separate story for a "refactoring" such as this one, even though it would result in significant operational savings (less memory usage, fewer server restarts, etc). So we bumble along, waiting until the pain becomes so severe that we're ordered to embark on a hasty rework in order to hurriedly patch in the new library when the system finally melts down.
I built an android app called NisekoPow which was for the backcountry skier + snowboarders. I got annoyed going on three websites every morning and refreshing to see:
* Recent snowfall
* Avalanche report
* Forecast

So I built a backend service to send a push notification when available.

I was out there for a season and it was good but I didn't return the next year and I lost the urge to fix an issue I no longer faced. Was a great learning experience though!
Thank you for the encouraging words, I'll try to make the distinction more clear.

I'd say you weren't exactly engaging in good faith, either. It's pretty clear that their point could be summarised as something like: Go's designers tried or intended to design the language for programming in the large, but they failed (perhaps partially), so therefore Go isn't (after the fact) designed for programming in the large.

You can argue about whether they really failed or not, but your pedantic take on it wasn't helpful for a discussion.

Designing the Perfect Elasticsearch Cluster: The (Almost) Definitive Guide
It would require a very large eruption to make a worthwhile dent in the rate of warming; small-ish ones happen all the time with no strong effect. Even if such an eruption didn't have a lot of highly undesirable side effects, we simply don't have any way to trigger something like this. At any rate, the short-term consequences would be absolutely devastating and in no way cheap.
Supply and demand break down where increasing supply is practically illegal. As long as there's a severe shortage of housing, landlords can demand as much as the top nth percentile of renters are able to pay, because there is no competing landlord who will take a lower price. If this somehow doesn't drain California dry, it'll be interesting if this enables lots of frustrated marginally-employed people to move to areas with vacant housing (and no jobs, but so what?)

You can mount your working source folder in the running container.

If you are working with a scripting language that can be enough to have your changes reflected on the running instance, otherwise you can set a hook on these changes to recompile and/or redeploy the new code automatically.
Follow up: yes, you're all correct, but sometimes things in an organisation aren't perfect and I've been in many situations where the database is the bottleneck with little power to change it. Now that I think about it, it's mostly a symptom of the database frequently under a different 'organisational area' compared to the application. This means we might have the ability to, for example, easily add more application servers, but the database falls under a different department and any changes require a lot more coordination with other parts of the business. I realise this could happen for any resource, but in my experience it's very common to have it occur with a database.
The BBC have responded by pointing out that government regulators killed off their attempt to work with competitors to produce such a service over a decade ago (Project Kangaroo), and now they’re being criticised by government for not being one.

I don't think they're being criticised by government for not being a Netflix-style VOD service. The debate is as to whether they should be funded by the licence fee with all the restrictions that come with it to allow competition in the market vs. letting them do their own thing without the licence fee. The government do appear to be coming down on the side against the licence fee, but that could just be a negotiating position, at least for the foreseeable.

No one as far as I can see is making the argument that a licence fee funded broadcaster should have taken that money and used it to launch a Netflix competitor.

The point is that they can change it any time ("tomorrow"), not that they will literally change it tomorrow. How much time they will give you to prepare doesn't really matter, it's still unilaterally forcing everyone to adapt.
>and that we keep it.

Surely it would make more sense just to fund the BBC through general taxation. The cost of the license fee is set by legislation anyway, so it's not as if the license fee model gives the BBC any additional independence.
JVM has remote debugging as well. Works great with Intellij and Eclipse.
I see. I think you worded it quite badly. This in particular; "because they added $1,000 dollars of value?"

This suggested that they had added a thousand dollars of value, whereas you presumably meant no such thing? Your example gave me the impression that we were in direct disagreement.

Continuing the discussion, now that I understand what you were saying; having recognised that what people are paid is disconnected from what value they bring to a company (and thus that someone could be worth millions to a company, but paid peanuts [0]), is it right that recompense is "almost totally disconnected from the profits (or losses) the employer reaps from having that task completed for them"? This is something of a moral judgement and we stray into different grounds; the great god Market is very popular hereabouts.

[0] Some argue that by defintion, what someone is paid is what they are worth. Fortunately, because that is presented as a simple definition, we can discard it as easily as it is presented.
Also it’s a rental. So lots of random drivers that want to push the car more than it normally would.

400k for a rental car is insane. Most petrol rental cars would be scrap in a third of that amount.

I disagree with the other users I think it looks fine.

I think the biggest differences is perfect table plan focuses on a very concrete idea that is easy to communicate and uses a paradigm people are familiar with (looking at a seating chart). I was able figure out what it did within 5 seconds of looking at the website.

But data transformations are a fairly abstract concept. Most users I imagine don't think "I need to transform my data", they probably think of the problem more concretely like "I need to deduplicate this giant excel spreadsheet". They will be glancing at the website asking themselves the question "Will this deduplicate my giant excel spreadsheet?" and the first picture they see will be a dataflow diagram. The user has probably never seen a dataflow diagram, and only rarely will they have done in gui based programming before. They will probably think "This might deduplicate my giant excel spreadsheet after I learn a bunch of hard stuff about how to wire these different boxes together". Before ever realizing how easy your app is to use.

If I were you, I'd replace data transformations with something like "Excel power tasks", and then have a list of all the tasks you can do, like deduplicate, concatenate, merge columns, etc. all with 15 second videos showing how easy your application makes accomplishing these tasks. So users lands on site, sees a list of the tasks they might want to accomplish, clicks it, watches 15 second video showing them how ridiculously easy your app makes performing that task.

Btw the apps look really awesome.

A tool like this would be great for businesses to help make strategic decisions. Also good for document the reasons why a decision is made for future reference. I think a product like this (maybe not this exact carnation) aimed at enlightened executives would be invaluable. It’s probably a hard sell without educational marketing. It might need a paper or something like that to get people to see the need.

Two questions that come to mind that the blog doesn't address:

1. Is the change in this new revision easily identifiable via PCB silkscreen from its deprecated variant, or will consumers be 0402 resistor hunting?

2. Are (US) authorized resellers shipping this revision yet? None of the 8 for the US appear to have any notice on their respective websites.

EDIT: The Register article[1] cited by the blog mentions the following almost-but-not-quite-relevant tidbits:

> The update, Upton told us, had also moved "the WLCSP SD card voltage switch to the top side" to protect it from damage, and also "silk screen tweaks to reduce solder bridging in manufacture".

> We asked Upton this week if the fix was out and he confirmed the update had indeed been rolled into a PCB Design for Manufacturing (DFM) process. He added that he would have expected the update "to have reached end users by now".

> Tests are a usability dead end -- I know this may be contentious, but I believe test suites are another realm of excessive moralizing en lieu of better tools and better processes. Too often they function as a security blanket that simply encases the parts of the code that are unit testable, while leaving the vulnerable, untestable bits fluttering in the wind. Approaches such as generative testing seem more promising.

I'm not quite sure what the author is arguing for here in particular.

Anything that makes writing tests a bit easier, e.g. suggestions for additional test cases, would be cool, but ultimately tests are about writing down your assumptions/expectations about the code.

No, they are not formal proofs and sometimes they are not perfect but they still provide a lot of value. So far I haven't found a good reason not to write tests (since I outgrew my newcomer attitude) and yeah integration tests are usually what I focus on most. For any case where testing whole systems today is hard, there are some fundamental challenges (e.g. end to end web UI test). I don't quite see how tooling will get rid of the need for tests.
Gambler's Fallacy
I solve this problem by having everything testable. I'm not saying this is a replacement for running your code as a assembled app before committing... But like, you should know that the code is going to work as intended before you incur the cost of running the application.

For exploratory programming I used to just enable remote debugging and set break points. This should be going away in favor of the REPL introduced in Java 9 tho... Haven't met lots of developers that have integrated it into their gradle builds yet tho...
I'm not saying brands are not an indicator. Indeed, if I'm going to buy a USB-C cable, I'm going to use it as a filter.

I'm saying brand loyalty has lost its power now.

Sony is a good example. You say it's a reputable brand, yet sometimes they just lose it do something absolutely terrible. The first one that comes to mind is infecting willingly their customers with a rootkit in 2005 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootk...), but it's just because I don't follow up on those things as much. I'm sure there are ones in the last 5 years, although with PR firms doing their job as well as they do now, a quick google search will seldom return anything.

Companies don't have a customer first mentality anymore.

Loyalty doesn't mean anything for them, and so you being loyal to them makes no sense.

And it does mean a more complicated world, because you constantly have to reassess where to buy from.

In my opinion this doesn't fall under the "it's only on my LAN and a super small project" category.
