Get phase monitors for your condensing units. There’s nothing more annoying than loosing a compressor due to your poco’s incompetence when the compressor would be just fine if something locked it out as soon as the power got weird.

I did a compressor change out on a package system last year because while we apparently sprung for all sorts of other “options” on the machine apparently the line was drawn on a $48 phase monitor. Our cheaper machines had them and rode out our service being single phased, and the package units stage two was thankfully off at the time; but we still had few thousand dollars of compressor needlessly converted to a piece of scrap metal.
The idea of multicellular life on Ceres is implausible for the reasons you mentioned, but there could be something like archaebacteria or other extremophiles with very slow metabolisms and which don't reproduce very often. As it's a brine ocean, the water could be chemically "hot" enough that a form of life is sustainable in a bio-geological cycle.

Here's an interesting article exploring the lowest possible temperature for life on earth (which is largely focused on vitrification blocking cellular metabolism but has both theoretical and empirical insights): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3686811/pdf/pon...
Just for context since nobody's mentioned it and it looks like a lot of folks here aren't reading the article or EAC surveys, the rejection rate in 2018 general elections was 3%.
I suppose it depends on what exactly you mean by "preppy" - but if it's stuff like cargo pants, I would argue that it should fall into the comfort segment.

About half of my daily wardrobe is stuff that's advertised as "tactical", but the reason why I actually wear it is because it's comfortable (relaxed fit, stretchy fabric where needed etc), and because it has plenty of large pockets to carry all the gadgets and random items.
Deployment ordering is intentionally not the same across services/teams, and said order can/does change over time within teams.
No, but the medium allows these things. And that's a problem.
That's not what I meant by a new international order. At the same time everyone was signing treaties and creating UN, it would have been real easy for nearly every shell-shocked nation to commit not to building nukes, in a way that would make violations really hurt. Like such a nation would immediately suffer 50% tariffs from every other nation. Or they would be fair game for any aggression from neighbors. It wasn't easy to build nuclear weapons in 1946. Only one nation had done it. Sure one can imagine that a nation could decide to take a flyer on nukes and thereby suffer global opprobrium, but most of the nations we'd imagine in that role didn't exist in 1946 in the way that they exist now. That included Israel, which didn't actually exist at all then.

I don't pay much heed to AWS Heroes. My city has an "AWS Hero" who hoarded the organization of the official AWS meetup for themself, and who is infamous for making liberal use of Cunningham's Law [1] for everything.

Uber collects the payment. But it belongs to the driver. Uber then takes a fraction of it.

As with any other marketplace/platform: Amazon, Patreon, App Stores, Twitch, Steam, etc.

Stripe collects payments for me when I sell my app. The money does not drop directly into my bank account.

And I don't think Uber has any problem with drivers hiring other people to drive their car and do Uber for them. The people that take an issue with that are the municipalities that want to require background checks, etc. for drivers.
The best latencies observing "causal fairness" you can achieve is to simulate/emulate the information propagation properties of light, rescaled so that "light speed" is related to whatever time it takes to traverse the slowest link, and that all faster links are path dependently delayed as to create a similated equidistance between players.

To do this anywhere close to perfectly you need absolute local time measurements with reasonable precision to determine the parameters.

Anything with less latency than that will have some kind of paradoxes, as that'd essentially be the equivalent of someone transferring data (or traveling) faster than light. It's kind of odd that it turns out this way, but it seems that any general case communicating network that's paradox free must be reducible to an equivalent physical light circuit.

It is still possible to make something very very counterintuitive that has a better perceived latency, is still fair for most purposes, and is at least eventually consistent. That is however more based on the relative predictability of humans over very short terms and the same of any physical simulation, and not at all causally consistent in any strict sense.
It's an official implementation, the beginnings of a segment of the ecosystem. A different Java compiler was what Google started with on Android... Look at the mess they created now.

If code runs differently on official platforms Commercial Graal can build a moat where code X doesn't work well on OpenJDK. Eventually you end up with code that works on OpenJDK and Graal EE, and a subset that only works well on Graal EE.

This is why, in my mind, compilers from official sources should always be free. Since Graal EE performs better there's nothing stopping Oracle from pulling a Chrome. Take all the market share then a few years later use your market power to start fucking with the ecosystem
It is simpler than that. Looking clean and tidy tells other people that you take care of yourself, which is a minimum indication that you are competent.

Can you model this in EdgeQL?
https://developer.mongodb.com/community/forums/t/is-this-que...

Area of curiousity at the moment as I too agree that SQL is a poor fit, even if the better DSL inputs eventually get reduced to SQL command text and parameter arrays.
I was looking around yesterday to find alternatives to SQL and found nothing. Everything is in this ridiculous table-based model, the queries of which are complicated and error-prone.

It’s heresy to criticize SQL these days or even suggest that DBs could be easier and more robust. I envision a future DB language that offers perfect ease and safety with queries the way Rust has shown us that the memory unsafeness of C was voluntary all along.
Yeah. I pay PayPal to process payments for me: I don't work for them. Hell: I pay Apple to publish apps to the App Store on my behalf, and they even decide whether my app is "OK" or not: when they tell me to make a change to my app, I must do that or I lose my ability to collect revenue. They even require I use certain tools that I have to purchase from the company store to do my work. I have no direct relationship with the customer. They collect all of my money, and then pay me. Am I somehow an employee of Apple? Supposedly I am Apple's customer, but it sometimes doesn't feel like that ;P.

They want to be rich, but they’d rather accrue “moral capital”. It’s quite the oxymoron.

Who doesn’t want to be rich, given the chance? We’re crabs in a bucket, we’re just too evolved to admit it.

I struggle with this idea as a consequence of growing up among conflicting ideas. Will I send my kids to public school to do our part to avoid further segregation of schools, or send them to private school because we can afford to and they’ll get better teachers? There’s a name for this: opportunity hoarding. It’s a contributor to inequality in the US. But that doesn’t lessen the internal conflict.
You only considered chemistry-based life. Cannot hold it against you of course. But some hard SF writers like Baxter also imagined life based on electromagnetic interactions, nuclear reactions (life in the mantle of a neutron star), fluid vortices and turbulences (life in liquid or gaseous planets), etc. Basically he included a lot of substrates that could be used to implement complexity.

Also, a big drawback of searching only chemistry-based life is that it limits a lot the range of viable temperatures. Would be too slow and simplistic at low temperatures, and a complete uncontrollable chaos at high temperatures.

In particular, finding a brine on an ice dwarf like Ceres is not very exciting, as the temperature is too low, and no interesting chemistry can happen.

Whereas other substrates could be totally fine at different temperature ranges.
> Then perhaps the federal authorities should push for federal ID cards so people can actually identify themselves when voting.

> This isn't a difficult problem to solve but it seems like the Democrats are trying to stonewall it any chance they get.

You miss the entire bigger picture when you don't mention that Republicans have been consistently against federal ID laws of any sort, not Democrats. That shows the real motives in play.

I'd love to see required ID for voting and federal ID laws (together, all at once), as would most left leaning people. It'd be chump change to implement in the scheme of the US government. The fact it has not been done for as long as this issue has been talked about (at least a decade now) makes it clear what's actually going on.

You also have to look at the history. To have the stance of pro voter ID laws but anti-federal ID is just a modern day extension of Jim Crow.
Profitability should have no bearing on whether drivers are classified as employees or contractors. If these companies can’t turn a profit while complying with the law then they don’t have a viable business model. That is entirely their problem.

Furthermore, the assumptions you make regarding future hiring practices are unfounded. Nothing stipulates that resumes or interviews, let alone in person, would be required to extend employment.
> The NoSQL movement was born, in part, out of the frustration with the perceived stagnation and inadequacy of SQL databases.

I would dispute this. The antecedents of NoSQL were the parallel programming models of HPC. They weren’t specifically excluding SQL, and NoSQL was a term that was invented after the fact.
Sound is a more or less coherent propagating oscillation in the medium. A shock wave consists of a very thin front of high entropy propagating through the medium, which is not coherent and essentially disrupts the structure of the medium.

The inability to get things in Japanese to "look right" in HTML might be on explanation as to why so much public information here is distributed as PDF or more often low quality JPEG.

Yup. I derped it. My bad
First, no one is for voter licensing, a person is 'licensed' by being a citizen. The two (honest) sides of the argument are: ID is required to keep elections honest and requiring ID's keeps people from voting by being too onerous to acquire. The ugly truth is democrats know that sloppy voting tends to fall their way and republicans know that voter id laws tend to fall their way.

A good compromise would be free ID's for everyone, but neither side wants this and would rather keep fighting the id battle, because like most battles, its only purpose is to keep the people divided and easy to manipulate.

As I read this I wondered:

"Has anyone fixed these problems elsewhere?"

Then:

>The NoSQL movement was born, in part, out of the frustration with the perceived stagnation and inadequacy of SQL databases. Unfortunately, in the pursuit of ditching SQL, the NoSQL approaches also abandoned the relational model and other good parts of RDBMSes.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, they really don't fix the issues listed, just have chosen to solve other problems, but not in a "going to fix SQL" kind of way.
>Every time I try to work with Googles opensourced stuff it always feels so complicated to me.

It is, but so is the problem space, as evidenced by AWS's own clusterfuck of services.

It kinda comes with the problem space they're trying to solve: how do you efficiently run a bunch of services on a bunch of computers? Virtualization solves one problem but you still have networking and service discovery to sort out.

If you're just running a personal blog, and toy projects, then k8s is really just more harm than help.

A quick search is showing me a ton of answers on Quora of being emphatically stating that Uber actively allows you to hire people to drive your car for you, as long as you can show they are insured to do so: the money goes to you, to the one parent account, so you get to decide how to pay your subcontractors; supposedly you can even register as a corporation?
Out of sheer curiosity, I've did a quick Google search and it seems that it does not.

Same here. I've seen it described as a "Cambrian explosion" of programming languages in the last few years and I think that's right.

The pace of PL changes and new entrants seems to have quickened immensely in the last 5-10 years.

I don't have a view on the right pace of change, but the idea that it's "slow" feels weird.

I have a lot of PLI ideas myself. I have for a long time, but increasingly it feels like there's little or no need for it (sadly!), because the space is crowded with a steady flux of new entrants and new ideas as it is, many of them well marketed too.

Adding more may be fun to do as an individual. PLD and PLI are fun! But it doesn't seem like we lack for contributors in this area.

That's why we need all of them, instead of sanctions on either one of them.
I've grown pretty fond of the way Spark SQL queries can be represented with DataFrame operations. There is a more or less 1:1 relationship with SQL, except the commands can be programatically generated and composed. It sure beats stitching together a SQL string when you have a bunch of query clauses that might be optional, or need a generalized way to take 30 result columns, and rename them with a prefix or something.

e.g.
result = dframe.select(*[f.col(colname).alias(f"{colname}_old") for colname in dframe.columns]).join(other_df, 'joincolumn', type='outer')

and so forth.

And were notorious sources of performance and reliability issues, especially iSCSI. Anyone with operational experience with those was not unreasonably questioning the risk of being in the same boat with less control, and EBS had some highly-visible failures which validated that concern.

It took a number of smooth years after the big 2011 outage to get people to be more confident in it.
As a router, it's quiet in a desktop environment, unless the CPU is fully loaded. For a bedroom, silent is better than quiet, which could justify investment in a fanless case for mini-ITX. These are not cheap, e.g. Streacom or Akasa.

I can see the improvement of their EdgeQL over SQL...

But (as I haven't read of their blog posts) I am a bit more reluctant about the whole thing when they describe it as an ORM.

Can we leave the ORM and take the query language and implement this as a Postgres extension?
I recommended Mozilla VPN to my dad due to the clear simple Mozilla user interface, known (to him) and trusted brand, and accessible documentation and explainations. Other than that they use the same servers as far as I can tell.
I've always wondered if a newer language could be designed with ANSI SQL as a transpilation target, or each of the vendor SQLs as targets. Optimization of queries would be a huge problem, but it always seemed like the only way it would be possible to break out of the SQL hegemony, i.e. first transpile, then start developing native support in the open source databases, then pressure the proprietary databases to adopt native support.
Which is why the current JSX syntax uses that as a synonym for `disabled={true}`. Agreed that it matches HTML better, but having written an awful lot of `someLongVariableName={someLongVariableName}`, I sure wish I could stop repeating myself there.

I don't think you understand the purpose of documentation.

It's not to say HOW things are done. Code and config files are all overly detailed and often quite convoluted HOWs.

It's to explain WHY and to help people on the team orient themselves in a maturing product. It's to record thinking which went into deciding this or that implementation. It's to help people with HOW-TO recipes. It's to show the big-picture view of the project.

Code and comments in code are pretty much useless for these purposes.

Basically, any engineering org which doesn't pay attention to documentation is deeply disfunctional.
Hey, I did Haskell nearly 30 years ago! Even worked on a Haskell compiler, from the first version of the spec.

> The NoSQL movement was born, in part, out of the frustration with the perceived stagnation and inadequacy of SQL databases

I'm a little bit young, but isn't this a bit of a revisionist take, by the author?

I thought that Amazon, Google, FB et al moved away from relational databases because the sharding logic they needed to build on top of these databases was approaching the complexity of a RDBMS. They didn't need strong consistency or support for complex queries, on the kind of data they were storing at scale, and so made compromises in those areas while engineering their purpose-built alternatives (Dynamo, BigTable, Cassandra).

It's not that SQL didn't work, but that the persistence layer was too strong and therefore too slow for their very particular needs. It's like comparing a minivan/suv (mysql/postgres) to a drag racer (nosql databases). You don't want to drive your kids to soccer practice in a two-seater with no airbags, and a 5* crash safety rating isn't as important to the pink-slippers as horsepower and 0-60.

Or am I missing something?
