Will My Opinion Change in 10 Years?
“Google has been running their entire infrastructure...”

I’m skeptical about this - Google’s entire infrastructure is so large that surely they must be using a wide variety of db technologies?

I took a databases course that did mention that part of the Google search infrastructure runs on a tailor-made NoSQL technology, but it wasn’t really a doc-based approach, it was more akin to a relational DB but with flexible columns (can’t remember the details sorry).

At any rate I don’t feel that this is any vindication for NoSQL, as Google builds much of its underlying tech from scratch and its hardly comparable to the out-of-the-box solutions that the rest of us, even massive corporations like HSBC, have to work with.
"Read the documentation. I can't stress enough on that."

There are lot's of production codebases with very little or no documentation, though.

"Don't over-engineer stuff. Keep it plain and simple."

This in an excellent advice.

"Pay close attention to the most experienced people and try to understand their thought process and mentally train yourself to be able to think like them"

Yes, this is similar apprenticeship. Just being able to work with talented people is an outstanding thing to have. On the other hand, if you are a junior contributor, but can't find the obvious master programmer around, that is a huge red flag that the organization is filled with mediocrity through and through and it probably would be best to work somewhere else.

If you actually feel you are the most talented programmer, and are confident of your skills, that is an important datapoint. If your organization does not value your skills in couple of years you should definetly move on.
Still it's sign of bad design IMO. Proper design would show menu immediately with some indication that some items are still loading, while running shell extension callbacks in background. But probably that's too fundamental to change at this moment. I remember entire Windows shell freezing because of similar things back in Windows XP. At least now different shell parts don't freeze all at once.
I've spent decades in enterprise space and unfortunately developers often don't have a clue how actually things work.

Companies like IBM specialise in royally screwing companies through their licensing deals and with their legal enforcement teams. They are nothing like dealing with a normal startup vendor or with someone like AWS. They play hard ball.

So sure you can complain that they should've just stayed with DB2. But usually that means paying tens of millions which then increase each year since they know you won't migrate.

That's why companies take drastic decisions and move to the cloud even if it's technically not the best option.

That's good to hear.

The reports of BLM leader avoiding answering any public questions about where funds are going [1] was already concerning. Having stories on top of it that some of these funds may also be coerced from non-protestors would be a bad look and I'm happy that isn't the case so far (assuming business owners aren't just staying quiet as the physical threats of speaking out still exists as long as the occupation continues).

I really hope focus goes back on positive police reform and avoids these internal distractions like the merits of a burning-man style street parties and silly attempts at building temporary urban gardens or bringing in dairy cows which take real care/time/investment vs focusing on tangible action and strong pressure towards police reform.

Unlike occupy this (the wider movement, not so much CHAZ) has the potential to result in real wins for once and already has a few. This deserves far more support from the supposedly libertarian-leaning right who despise many of these same police policies.

The vegan hippie utopia stuffs seems to be mostly a distraction from that and easy fodder for dismissal by the mainstream media.

I agree with everything you said, but I would add that a critical component of voice command and control is strict grammars. There is so much structure and context in what we speak, and being able to limit what can be recognized to only what can be reasonably spoken (based on the current context) can allow massive increases in accuracy. (EDIT: ah, you edited to add a mention of this as well.)

And one shameless plug deserves another! Vosk is a great project, but my kaldi-active-grammar [0] (mentioned in another comment here) also uses the same Kaldi engine, but extends it and is designed specifically for this use case. It supports defining many grammars, in any combination, and activating/deactivating them at will instantly per-utterance. I think it's probably a better fit as a backend for your project than vosk. My work focuses on the backend technology, so it would be great to have more front ends using it to put it within users' reach (so to speak).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigtable

"Bigtable development began in 2004[3] and is now used by a number of Google applications, such as web indexing,[4] MapReduce, which is often used for generating and modifying data stored in Bigtable,[5] Google Maps,[6] Google Book Search, "My Search History", Google Earth, Blogger.com, Google Code hosting, YouTube,[7] and Gmail.[8]"

"Bigtable is one of the prototypical examples of a wide column store. It maps two arbitrary string values (row key and column key) and timestamp (hence three-dimensional mapping) into an associated arbitrary byte array. It is not a relational database and can be better defined as a sparse, distributed multi-dimensional sorted map."

I said this in continuation to the line you quoted:

This is abstracted in YAML so that anyone who uses any modules does not need to know the language it is written in. Only the YAML syntax.

This is one of the reasons why it’s nice that Apple currently has no access to health data. They might change this is the future, but you can always stop sharing then. (Rather than them saying they’re cool, having your data, and doing something malicious with it later.)
I think there might be an even bigger problem in coming up with any kind of response that we didn't already know. E.g. the advice "Don't smoke, stop eating before you're full, eat more vegetables, eat less bread and pasta, drink less alcohol, prefer water instead of drinks like juice, milk or soda, stop eating processed sugar, avoid saturated fats, get regular cardio, avoid stress, get enough sleep and do so at roughly the same time every night" is likely to be correct for the vast majority of people. Having top-of-the-line ML crunch a bunch of data only to spit out the exact same recommendation to everyone doesn't really accomplish much. Maybe more specific recommendations would be possible in a decade or two if we start having detailed data to look at, but considering how hard a time we've had just answering simple questions like 'are eggs good or bad for you?' in general, I'm not really all that optimistic about our ability to make precise individual recommendations that are not already obvious.
If the argument is that developers need _regular_ pay days then we have dedicated financial instruments for smoothing an irregular cash flow.

If you put it like that it sounds like the alternative is moral absolutism. I take issue with absolutes because they do not promote any type of meaningful discussion.

I agree, though Haskell is certainly the most advanced. ML languages tend to be... primitive, at least to the modern eye. The lack of function polymorphism in OCaml is such a huge bummer. Modular implicits have been proposed (in a paper from 2014), but it doesn't seem that they are being actively worked on. If I could get multicore and modular implicits, OCaml would be the ideal language.

No to mention it assumes you would know about their change of heart, which you may not.

Insulin is mostly (in humans, not rats) a hormone signalling energy availability. That's why many humans secret insulin when we smell or taste food, way before it hits GI tract.

> Maintaining the insulin/glucagon cycle is important in maintenance of a healthy metabolism.

No point in focusing on hormones so much. I somehow don't see people fretting over their ACTH or progesterone.

> Insulin mediates glucose transport and promotes absorption of blood glucose into the liver, fat and muscle cells.

If you look at data from humans - insulin IS NOT needed for glucose absorption. Studies on diabetic people clearly show that glucose gradient into the cell is higher, not lower, despite them being incredibly insulin resistant. 1st role of insulin in humans that's critical is shutting down liver glucogenesis and gluconeogenesis.

The problem with insulin/glucose narration is omitting the role of FFA. Intracellular FFA levels drive down the glucose absorption gradient. If the glucose absorption gradient is low and we still have glucose - that will stimulate more insulin release to drive that glucose level to normal.

Problem is that as more insulin is present cells eventually start being resistant to insulin requiring more insulin for the same job. Which makes for a problem because if insulin is there to shut down liver glucogenesis and cells are now more resistant to insulin - bad news, we need more insulin to get blood glucose to same levels with a meal that used to be no problem.

Adipose tissue is simply the number #1 a-hole here because it's usually the least resistant to insulin and the least resistant to nutrient storage since it's its primary role. It will just pack more in.

"logic is encoded using the phase of oscillatory signals, rather than voltage levels. Such phase encoding has long been used in radio communication for its superior noise immunity; we show that it can also be used for computation, using self-sustaining nonlinear oscillators as underlying logic elements."

Indeed. But the advise is equally as valid for libraries or frameworks used in a project, which as a junior developer, chances are you have very little experience with. Read those :)

Voice Control is much worse than WSR at this task, not for accuracy reasons, but for API and extensibility reasons. (I went above and beyond to try to make it work, the underlying APIs crash and/or hang if you try to load in large grammars, too much custom vocab, or repeatable commands). In Voice Control you can basically only define simple commands that require pauses, and there's no way to build a system for something like spelling words or inserting specific special characters without requiring a large. pause. between. every. single. thing. you. say.
