Customizability is orthogonal with out-of-the box UX, the original axis of comparison here. In fact, the two are often at odds.
> you caan get most of the useful git-like time-travel semantics (modulo schema migrations) out of timeseries data with a separate transaction history table

Well, not really. Dolt isn't just time travel. If all you want is time travel (or append-only data), you can do that with Postgres or MySQL pretty easily and get great performance. What Dolt brings to the table is actual Git semantics, a real commit graph you can branch, merge, fork, clone. You can inspect the historical values of each cell and examine the author and commit message for each change. Two people can clone a database, both insert / update / delete rows, and then merge each other's changes. If they touched the same rows, they'll have a merge conflict they have to resolve. If you find somebody's data they've published in the Dolt format has an error, you can fork it, correct the data, and submit them a PR to merge back, just like you do with code on Github. It's a database built for collaboration from the ground up. Instead of authorizing each person you want to make edits specific grants on particular tables / subsets of the data, you just let them clone it, then submit a PR that you can examine and approve. Or if they disagree with your policies, they can fork the data and still merge in updates from your master source as necessary. Git demonstrated what a powerful model the commit graph is for code. Dolt brings it to data, with SQL built in.

To answer your question about indexes across schema migrations, indexes are versioned with the schema of the table. This means they can be efficiently synced during a pull operation, but it means that previous versions of the data don't have indexes on them. We're considering adding the ability to add an index to the data from the beginning of the commit history as a rebase operation, but haven't implemented that yet.

Have you seen the video? The cop drops his own taser and draws his firearm as the victim runs away. Why would he do that? Because he knows his taser is out of range, won't reach the victim.

So he knows his taser has the stopping power of a nerf gun at that point. The corollary is that he knows the taser in the hands of the victim is also out of range, also has the stopping power of a nerf gun. After this is known, because it is known, he drops his taser and draws his pistol, which does have the range.

Well, the whole emoji idea of encoding images using font codepoints is silly.

Alternative would be just use crypto-hashes of SVG / PNG images (perhaps encoded by some unicode codepoints), which could be resolved by some image repositories. There could be multiple repositories and software could use many of them.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, the lack of quality FOSS IDEs for Postgres is well known.

I do feel that Postgres administration mostly caters to command line fans (like myself); the people more used to visual tools like SQL Server Management Studio tend to find it difficult to transition because of this. Even if they might be absolute wizards at writing SQL otherwise.

Part of it is familiarity of course, but there's always something ever so slightly embarrassing about showing people psql when they're used to advanced IDEs.

Turns out the allocations are just from the fact that the computation as written was not type stable. Making it so brings down the allocations to 2 and increases the relative speed to just under 2x.

Here's the post from chris:

"That’s not type-stable. x = [@SMatrix randn(5,5) for i in 1:10000] is a type stable way to compute an array of random SMatrices, and that nearly doubles the speed of the computation and removes the allocations down to 2, i.e. from:

2.549 ms (29496 allocations: 1.44 MiB)
to

1.469 ms (2 allocations: 390.70 KiB)
for me. Still a nice performance for Grassmann.jl, but seems to be <2x."
If everyone could agree on new terminology without getting annoyed or creating drama I'd be all for it. Unfortunately, people get so hung up over the words that they lose sight of the sticks and stones.

If the black folks discussing the topic seem to think it's harmful (and based on the upvote counts they have a ton of support for that opinion) then I'm inclined to agree.

To put it rather bluntly, I wonder what the opinion of the protestors on the street would be while they're facing down rubber bullets and tear gas. I imagine they'd want to fry bigger fish.

Current generation non-laser short throw projectors may already hit the price/performance you need, just mount them so they face the ceiling, on top of a bookshelf. (Laser projects are still quite expensive.) If they don't, then physics, specifically optics, has the equations to calculate the mirror specifications you need for your exact use-case. Custom-made mirrors aren't the cheapest, but what you're asking for sounds possible, though it's impossible to say without more information, specifically the dimensions and the brightness needed - you'll lose a lot of brightness from the mirrors.

That's really good points on their open source activity. How they failed with Alchemy and Unity / Unreal integration is another good story.

All investors are well aware that Amazon can start turning on major retail profits at any time it chooses.

But the more it grows first, the more entrenched it is, the fewer competitors remain, and the even larger those future profits will be.

Seeing as AMZN's stock price has increased roughly 25% since COVID started, it doesn't seem like investors think it "probably lost them money".

You don't seem to actually understand Amazon's business model at all, so please don't get too mad about it. :)

I have a similar story. Did a one way rental and drove from Seattle to Portland, but the returning location was open when I returned the car. Did the whole walk around of the car with the Hertz employee and everything was fine. Then I get a call a couple hours later that there is extensive damage in one of the wheel wells that I will be responsible for. This was ridiculous because not only was I sure I did not do anything that would have caused that damage, but their employee inspected everything and signed off. Pretty clear that one of their employees damaged the car moving it around the lot and was hoping to pin it on me. After numerous calls with the rental offices in both Seattle and Portland, they finally agreed to "do me a favor" and drop the claim. How nice of them!

That's an interesting question. In practice I've found it to be the other way around - especially the ten character limit on .dbx column names. If your incoming data has a field named "Population in 2010" you have to map it to something shorter like "PopIn2010". Not a big deal but it gets annoying.
"Propensities toward attraction were recognized, but it never formed a core part of personal identity"

Like many words, "gay" "straight" "bisexual" and so on have more than one meaning. One of those meanings is the idea that who one is attracted to is the core of one's identity. Another common meaning is that it is simply descriptive of attraction, and says little about the rest of one's personality.

End to end latency to things on the internet of 100ms isn't a deal breaker. There are a number of things out there on the internet that are far more than 100ms away from me, because they're on the other side of the atlantic or pacific oceans. Exactly what distance and topology this 100ms is being measured over needs to be specified.

There are already a number of residential and small business last mile access technologies that introduce 20-25ms latency. It can be 20-25ms latency from an ADSL2+ modem to the DSLAM. Or on a moderately loaded DOCSIS3 network latency from modem to CMTS can also be 20-25ms.

Starlink is expected to be 20-25ms for RTT latency from the CPE to the earth station. From the earth station (those of which I know about are colocated with long haul fiber sites), latency to destinations on the internet would be the same as terrestrial internet customers in the same location.

It's important to define two different things:

a) space segment latency, which will be 20-25ms

b) terrestrial latency, which will be exactly the same as any other properly-peered and interconnected large domestic ISP (such as a Wave, Charter, Comcast, Centurylink, etc).

The satellites will be serving as bent pipe relays.

> read up on the rise of Mussolini

He asked the king for power and the king always remained the head of state, indeed he was able to remove Mussolini from power when he wished to do so. For other violence worked wonders.

> Non-violence is a myth

> All politics is violence

there is a very important line between violence and non-violence. there is bad and good on both sides of that line.

> I will say that as it is right now I don't think that antifascist except in some very limited edge cases, simply because we are not at a level where it would do more good than harm.

On this we agree :)

> But there's always the risk that we could get there, and openly saying that you won't use the means necessary does harm.

To me the best way to decrease this risk by refusing compromises on violence. I do not think this is a problem that can be solved by (openly) adopting the methods of the enemy.

Look, you look like someone with a strong sense of justice, and I hope you will succeed in improving the world. I believe that my methods are more effective, but trying our best is the only thing we can do.

Still I would like to properly express my own stance: I will never condone initiating violence and I will never stop praising the unbounded power of non-violence and civil conversation. If I will ever have to discard this position one day then a good part of me will die with it.

This is my position, intrinsically I cannot prove it right and I do not demand of others to share, but it is how I decided to play this game. I understand the possibility that I might be wrong; we all need to take responsibility for our choices and this is mine.

I suspect that our dreams of a perfect society have more similarities than differences, I hope we can get there, together.
"Not enough space on the die" is so obviously literally wrong that the Intel source obviously didn't mean it literally. "Space on the die" is a global constraint, but hw design is full of local constraints. Eg, if there are enough pieces of logic and wiring that are connected closely together , then in that area of the die there may not be enough room to fit any more logic or wiring, even though it may occupy a trivial amount of space in terms of the whole die - without violating the gate delay targets that keep the chip running at the correct speed.

That's what I'd guess as the meaning, anyway.
