That's orthogonal. Msgpack is basically json but easier to parse from C, and less inefficient on floats and integers.
Rate of conclusions per unit time sounds like something interesting. Say it takes you 3x longer to arrive at a conclusion than a peer. But, each of those conclusions is 10x more valuable to the product/organization/individual.

Perhaps we also say that some conclusions are bad and bring negative value. It is likely that hasty decisions fall into this camp more frequently than more careful considerations. Just one bad technology decision made flippantly can inflict critical damage.

It is way easier to sink a ship than it is to build a new one. "Slow" thinking is the fastest way when you zoom out to the strategic map.
No it doesn't. I dont see how you could possibly think that.

If he had asked them to put on clothes, is that cultural denial? Is that sexualizing them since he acknowledged they were topless?

The notion that pointing out reality is somehow bad is such a dumb concept.

Whether a majority agree it’s a serious problem depends on whether you think “somewhat serious” is “serious” or not. If I answer there are “somewhat serious” problems, you can’t just round that up to “serious” because that word is present.

If the categories were “serious, moderate, mild, and not a problem”, which I’d argue are semantically equivalent to the survey categories, then it’s clearly an error for the headline to be written as “majority agree income inequality is a serious problem.”

Not sure if you're referring to me but I haven't spread any false statements. I have neither argued that the tweet is true nor that it is false. What I did was ask if the guy making the comment had any evidence for what he was saying. Others had already asked dcurtis the same and he said he would write more about it later.

I wanted to know if the comment was just a pontification or if there was actually a reason to dismiss what dcurtis said. As I explained earlier, I have a direct reason (a purchase) to care,

If you actually think I speculated about anything, please quote where I did so.

No conservatives are still conservatives. They don’t need to embrace post-modernism to oppose what they perceive as a heretical religion.

Insofar as right-wing people now invoke the liberal notions of free expression it’s only because that was a middle ground that allowed coexistence and liberals are now sitting aside while progressives try to blow up that compromise. (And also because a bunch of center right people think it’s a good thing—it’s not like the right is uniformly absolutist evangelical types).

Put differently, Christian evangelical are angry that liberals broke all these taboos in the name of free expression, and now progressives are trying to treat Christian evangelical beliefs as the basis for cancellation. There is nothing hypocritical or contradictory about this.

Well, Rust doesn't have Mozilla behind them anymore either (ok, they now have a foundation with not only Mozilla, but also Microsoft, Amazon, Google and - whoa! - Huawei as sponsors, so you could argue that's an improvement).

You can't apply a literal interpretation of the story when no such interpretation was intended by Vonnegut. Of course he never expected actual lead weights would be strapped to people by legal decree. That's not the point.

How it relates to the article is the "lead weight" of removing the availability of AP classes from White and Asian students is a severely misguided attempt at making Black and Hispanic students equal, as if they weren't already. It's actually a terribly wrong message to the Black and Hispanic students.

It seems to me that a better approach is try to understand the reasons why more Black and Hispanic students aren't enrolling while continuing to provide these classes to any student who qualifies, regardless of race.
Not really. The intention of OP is to demonstrate that the people often mentioning cancel culture are not doing it out of advocacy for free speech norms but rather because it suits their particular style of bigotry at this very moment.
Thanks for the correction; it was not an autobiography, rather a biography called Citizen Welles by Frank Brady. I read it a few years ago, just had to dig it out again to confirm.
Do you work at Palantir or the GOPs social media department or something? Because that sounds extreme and can’t be just about income levels

From my perspective (not an American, but an Haitian)
I think it's based on how much you trust the well meaning of the person behind it. The current social climate is very charged from an outside perspective as privilege is perceived being tied down to ethnicity (For us it is wealth which was correlated to skin color, but not so much nowadays).

Our own translation 'nèg' is pretty much synonym to person or dude. and it is widely used. But it does not have much connotation to the actual skin color of the person or his physical appearance. But it is still very uncomfortable to hear the French 'nègre' as this has a widely demeaning connotation (French colonization and slavery).

And I think that is why the actual restriction took place. If you're black and say the N word, it is unlikely to be demeaning, but if you're caucasian, there is a lot of past events that is not in your favor.

P.S. not a native English speaker.
The inner ear literally applies a Fourier transform to the incoming waveform, each location containing tiny hairs which each respond to a narrow frequency range. The spectrogram directly reflects what is sensed by the inner ear.
Pointing out one incident almost 20 years ago isn't evidence of a long standing problem. The world is a different place with social media today, making the problem both more widespread, and more damaging to people. There have always been boycotts and attempts at cancellation, but the power of the mob is amplified in the current moment.
This is a misunderstanding of what I said, I agree that a 17k utility bill is most certainly a mistake.

But for example, if your autopay bills with direct access to your checking account total 2k/mo then it makes sense to limit the funds of that checking account to roughly that much, maybe a bit more incase of variance. If a utility tried to withdraw 17k from an account that only has 2.5k in it, it will not be able to do so (Overdraft "protection" can be turned off).

If there's a small buffer in the checking account, other bills should not cascade from one large anomaly in that case, because the bank won't hand out partial payments.

Yes, there are still risks with autopay, but they're greatly mitigated with a dedicated checking account for that specific purpose. Furthermore, forgetting to pay one of the several bills manually is a risk in and of itself. I'm just pointing out that setting up autopay doesn't necessarily mean giving unlimited access to one's funds.

I agree that the vast majority of people who display the confederate flag or want to protect confederate monuments are not specifically inspired by overt racism or support for slavery. I know this because I grew up in the South and many of my friends and family members held warm feelings for the confederacy. These people were not monsters and they certainly did not believe themselves to be racists, though many of them held a number of racists beliefs individually.

That said, I think there is a clear and obvious difference between the Washington monument, which was built by slaves during a time of slavery, and the Confederate flag - a symbol of a movement which was fundamentally about slavery. Confederates betrayed and killed hundreds of thousands of their countrymen for the purpose of protecting slavery.

Do you believe that the US Civil War wasn't really about slavery? I encourage you to read the declarations of succession from states like South Carolina (https://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/csa_scarsec.asp). The idea that the Civil War was not really about slavery, but about "states rights" is revisionist history designed to make the Confederacy seem more sympathetic. The US Civil War was 100.0% about the right to keep slaves and the Confederate States' willingness to murder their countrymen to do so.

Thank you for your kind words! We indeed have plenty of work to be done (and are thus hiring)! I'm curious however why you think this requires you to be all-in on Materialize. As you said better than I could have, dbt is amazing at keeping your business logic organized. Our intention is very much for dbt to standardize the modeling/business logic layer which allows you to use multiple backends as you see fit in a way that shares the catalog layer cleanly.

Our hope is that you have some BigQuery/Snowflake job that you're tired of running up the bill hitting redeploy 5 times a day, and you can cleanly port that over to Materialize with little work because the adapter is taking care of any small semantic differences in date handling, or null handling, etc. So Materialize sits cleanly side-by-side with Snowflake/BigQuery, and you're choosing whether you want things incrementally maintained with a few seconds of latency by Materialize, or once a day by the batch systems.

My view is you're likely going to want to do data science with a batch system (when you're in "learning mode" you try and keep as many things fixed, including not updating the dataset), and then if the model becomes a critical automated pipeline, rather than rerunning the model every hour and uploading results to a Redis cache or something, you switch it over to Materialize, and don't have to every worry about cache invalidation.

Bold statement. Power however is still not trending towards the people's hands in any case.
The reasons for undefined behaviour being in the C/C++ language standards are performance and the ability to naturally support all sorts of different platforms, but I'm not sure the performance argument really holds up with modern optimising compilers.

I admit I don't have hard numbers to hand, and sadly it's rather rare to see decent rigorous comparisons, but I don't think C and C++ have that much of a performance advantage over, say, Ada or Safe Rust.

My inner pedant feels it's necessary to note that Ada is still an unsafe language, but still, it's much less unsafe than C. It also has excellent support for optionally disabling all sorts of runtime safety checks, whereas the design of C and C++ make it extremely difficult to implement such checks as 'opt-in' features in a compiler.
Shouldn’t be that hard - it’s not rocket science.
"I think you’re overestimating the general public’s understanding of production technique."

Individuals can be clever but as a herd we humans are bloody daft on average. I use the word daft deliberately, rather than stupid. For example there are people who genuinely believe that Bill Gates is attempting to track them via a device that is implanted via a vaccine.

I would hope that I might be given a chance to rip their mobile (cell) to shreds. I remove the GPS related stuff. Then I try to fit those bits down the barrel of a needle. The battery (cell really) would probably get stuck.

I doubt whether I'd have questioned production techniques, were I there at the time. The very act of watching the goggle box is to often suspend disbelief. I watched Doctor Who in the 70s and onwards. Buck Rogers (in the 25th C). Old Star Trek. etc. I saw Star Wars E1 or 4 or whatever, the first time around.

I'm not sure how I'd have reacted to a martian invasion on the wireless back in the '50s.
> If the categories were “serious, moderate, mild, and not a problem”, which I’d argue are semantically equivalent to the survey categories

I don't think changing the wording would help. The basic problem is that these terms are all vague. What we really need is a comparison and/or ranking with other problems.

Clearly, though, under any definition, "don't care" is flat out wrong.
Hearing the Shape of a Drum
So, roughly speaking, I think you're describing a view that could be defined in Materialize like so:

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW customer_avg_latency
SELECT customer_id, metric_id, avg(metric_val)
FROM metrics
JOIN resources ON metrics.resource_id = resources.id
JOIN customers ON resources.customer_id = customer.id
GROUP BY customer_id, metric_id

There are various ways to slice and dice that query as a user that'll allow you to choose whether to do the aggregate early or late. The details, I think, depend on the specifics of your data model.

> When a resource migrates between customers, the whole history of the customer changes.

I'm a bit confused about this part. In the query I posted above, Differential's incremental join algorithm would spare you from recomputing the entire join. (As written the query would have to re-aggregate the metrics associated with that resource that moved, but that could be solved by manually pushing the avg down.)

If you'd like to drop by our Community Slack (https://materialize.com/s/chat) or GitHub issues (https://github.com/MaterializeInc/materialize/issues) we'd be happy to talk through things in more detail!
An interview with ex Kremlin troll: I was a woman, an Indian and an old man
Can someone explain the difference between Gab and Parler to someone unfamiliar with both?
I grew up with my sisters in poverty. I didn't eat at a restaurant until I was 14 and paid for it myself. I started baking crackers, biscuits and pancakes that my younger sisters and I would eat for dinner with government peanut butter or cheese when I was 11. Having no utilities was a regular occurrence. Christmas was socks, underwear and a winter coat. Shoes were a touchy subject and I would have to have pretty big holes before they would get replaced. School hot lunch and food drives were awkward.

I decided what I wanted out of life in my mid-twenties and pursued it and now in my 40's I am doing better than I could have ever imagined. Everyone I know who was poor and wanted to better themselves was able to get out of poverty. All 4 of my sisters are middle class or better. Thats 5/5 that succeeded. All my friends across the states I had lived are homeowners and seem happy. All the people I met who bitched and didn't do anything to better themselves are still poor or dead.

I didn't get lucky and neither did my sisters and friends. We each made personal decisions and planned our way out of poverty. It didn't happen over night. A lot of set backs happen and everything is hard. Transportation and unforeseen expenses are the largest hurdles and access to credit is also difficult because of the length of time it takes to repair.
It's basically impossible to measure the one-way latency, without external information in the form of clock synchronisation done externally. See http://twistedoakstudios.com/blog/Post2353_when-one-way-late...

This fact is also the basis for special relativity (different observers may choose different simultaneity conventions - for example Einstein synchronisation)
