Yeah, right. Remove all the whitespace. While you at it also make fonts smaller so that you can cram more data into the same space.

Some people actually like interfaces to be aesthetically pleasing. And whitespace is one of those things that really helps to make ui usable and clean.

> H. ergaster could also travel and hunt in the middle of the day, when most animals rest.

I'd rather say "when most other animals rest". The article recognizes we're not ontologically special, but there are still traces in the phrasing.

?!? Downvote? What could that be for? I'm just pointing out a minor contradiction. I may be a little off topic, but that hardly clutters this small page. Or is this because we are ontologically special (having immaterial souls)? But then (1) I didn't say that, and (2) current evidence doesn't actually support that.

First off - whatever you're doing, you'll probably be fine using either.

That said, I'm generally more frustrated when using MySQL than when using PG. Here's a sample of the problems I've encountered from using both MySQL and PG. I haven't updated my list in a while now - please feel free to correct me on things - but hopefully it's a little more illustrative than that Wikipedia feature matrix, and a little more specific to MySQL vs. PG. (This list is a cleaned-up selection from my notes wiki at http://yz.mit.edu/notes/Hackery.)

No referential integrity.

No constraints (CHECK).

No sort merge join, let alone hash-join. http://www.dbms2.com/2008/07/10/how-is-mysqls-join-performan..., http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2006/06/09/why-mysql-cou...

Generally poor at analytical workloads, since it's designed for transactional workloads.

Can't reopen TEMP table - WTF? (Still not fixed!) http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=10327

Multiple storage engines has always restricted progress: http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2010/05/08/the-doom-of-m... (PG also supported multiple storage engines in 80s, then concentrated on one)

No WITH clause: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/324935/mysql-with-clause

Crappy errors: “Incorrect key file for table ‘stock’; try to repair it” on “alter table stock add constraint pk_stock primary key (s_w_id, s_i_id);” where stock is in InnoDB (which has no “repair table”) means I have no /tmp space (no Google answers)

Crappy EXPLAIN output - somewhat better when using the visual-explain tool from Percona.

InnoDB auto-extends ibdata1 file; only way to trim (garbage collect) is dumping and loading.

Scoping is broken:

mysql> create table t(a int, b int); Query OK, 0 rows affected (3.30 sec)
mysql> select a, (select count(*) from (select b from t where a = u.a group by b) v) from t u;
ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column ‘u.a’ in ‘where clause’

Optimizer leaves plenty to be desired, e.g. not pruning unnecessary joins.

“InnoDB is still broken…Just last week we had to drop/re-create an InnoDB-table in one project because it would not allow to add an index anymore, no matter what we tried…Mysql::Error: Incorrect key file for table 'foo'; try to repair it: CREATE INDEX [...]” http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2176062

MySQL only recently got such things as per-statement triggers and procedural language support.

MySQL has only its own internal auth system, whereas PG supports a wide array of auth providers.

PG has more supple ALTER TABLE implementation.

MySQL doesn’t support ASC/DESC clauses for indexes http://explainextended.com/2010/11/02/mixed-ascdesc-sorting-...

Optimizer only recently started working properly with certain subqueries

OK documentation, but still considerably unpolished compared to PG's. Random omission: auto_increment jumps up to next power of 2 but inconsistently across versions (platforms?).

(Older issue, not sure if it's still relevant) Crappy concurrency, >3 cores sucks vs PG: http://spyced.blogspot.com/2006/12/benchmark-postgresql-beat...

Two of my roommates are in the medical field. Hearing them talk about hospital business really gives me a perspective on how I myself can sound when I talk about technology in the presence of "normal" people. In those cases I comfort myself, with the thought, "Hey, at least when I talk about technology, I don't cause other people's stomachs to turn and make them run to the nearest bathroom."

Honestly, medicine is much worse than technology with sounding "technical" (technology usually doesn't have the "gory" or hypochondria-inducing aspect to it like medicine often does). The only thing that medical people have going for them is the higher percentage of women in the field, who tend to be more sensitive as to how they come across to others.

5 Reasons I’m Happy I Decided to get Breast Implants
1) Symmetry: Before I got breast augmentation Los Angeles girls made me feel very self conscious. I was less unhappy with the size of my natural breasts, but their lack of symmetry made me self conscious. One was slightly larger, and while wearing a bra masked this problem, it was more obvious when I wore a bikini. I only felt comfortable in very padded, structured bikini tops (which are more expensive). Now I feel like I look good in any bikini off the rack. Also, I rely less on padded bras to feel ok no matter what I’m wearing.

It would surpise me if they dropped it any time soon. MS is big on backward compatibility. Even if a MS technology is "dead" and "abandoned", that just means that there aren't any new versions, but exisiting versions keep working for quite a while.

Most restaurants in the US aren't as big as some of the chinese restaurants I've been to. The cost/benefit of having a mobile device for each waiter rather than a waiter station with a terminal would be minuscule. One thing some of the busier restaurants are doing is use pagers when there is a waiting list.
They are on top but the nature of the numbers doesn't necessarily make the case being put forward here.

Even if games were in some way irrelevant the statistic that they're on top is that 61% of smart phone owners reported using a game in the last 30 days.

But that's only marginally ahead of weather apps at 55% (and the Weather Channel 3rd party app was one of the most popular apps overall), maps at 50%, social at 49% (all 3rd party).

The overall picture is of a lot of people using a lot of apps, many of which are the core 10.

Cipher arrangement: If you look at the middle row here: http://imgur.com/6MWFk The very first char in the row, the last and the middle fit perfectly into the zodiac sign drawn at the bottom. It could just be a coincidence, but it feels like the chars should be shifted around so that the whole thing makes a zodiac sign. All the funky chars being the sign & the text being in the white background.

Lots of the characters are also upside down, mirrored or both. Superimposing a zodiac sign on it would give us 4 quadrants that could be used to flip the characters back to their correct orientation.

As for the deliberate misspelling...maybe. I don't buy it though. All the wrong words are misspelled. e.g. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f8/Zodiac_ci... He misspells paradise, but repeatedly uses the letters "kill". Thats all wrong for someone deliberately misspelling to mess with cryptographers. Admittedly I haven't looked at the ciphertext of the above URL, so maybe kill was suitably disguised there.

>I wouldn't write him off, even if he did kill a large number of people.

Yeah. You have to admit though: Anybody rambling on about killing to have slaves in paradise qualifies for "tenuous grasp on reality at best" category.
They went extinct because we "outcompeted" them? If so, there would presumably be other creatures, competing for the same limited resources as us, that also went extinct at the same time.

I thought the accepted theory was that we directly killed them off. Though... I suppose that conflict could be caused by competition for resources, as are many wars.
Are you really having to deal with the SOAP protocol yourself? I mean, their are libraries that handle all this for you. Just read in the WSDL, and call the methods as you need them. No need to muck around with XML.

This post assumes that people on the other end are dealing with you fairly.This is not always the case.

Some times people want to label you as technical and refuse to accept that you can do everything they can do because you can actually go and implement what you are talking.

Their interest is best served when you are implementing and they are doing the talking so they deliberately wants to keep you out of the loop by labeling you too technical.
JSON is popular because:

JSON can be consumed by JavaScript. This makes pushing JSON rules easy. I can create an API once in JSON. Now, someone can create a web app and make API calls with JavaScript.

That's the reason it's popular.

Another, smaller reason, is:

Many languages/libraries/frameworks provide poor XML support. If your hand coding your XML-RPC/SOAP calls, or dealing with your average XML in a way different then you would JSON, I really don't know what to say other than: Why?

All the other reasons: verbosity, confusion over XML, etc. All those are okay, I guess, but aren't good reasons.

If JSON couldn't be parsed by JavaScript, it wouldn't be used.
They're pretty standard here in Japan. They look (and work) like wireless doorbells. At first it can be hard to get used to the fact that the waiter won't come over until you've pushed the button but after a while you really start to appreciate it.

Also, in the US I always felt slightly guilty calling a waiter over as if I'm calling him out on not doing his job. Here, if they don't have the doorbell thingy it's expected that you'll shout すみません！ when you're ready to order.

The other major design issue with airplanes is putting the buttons on a remote and then jamming it into the armrest next to your butt so you can accidentally hit it when you're sleeping or shifting around. It's the airplane equivalent of pocket dialing.
There are other ways of dealing with "fake real numbers" (which is what doubles are)

One example is interval arithmetic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_arithmetic

None of them seem very mainstream: the predominant thinking is that floats are "the right way" to badly approximate real numbers, that works well enough except when you're working with pounds and pence, when "everyone" knows the right way is to use fixed point...

That's not going to help the above associativity problem, but it fits in the theme of "LAAAA LAAAA LAAAA lets gloss over the bits of floating point that don't follow the rules"

I think they went extinct because we were horrified by them. Horror movies are most terrible when the creatures there are mostly human, but somehow different. Humans don't like different kinds of humans.

If a human being sees another human that is different enough to fall into the horror movie monster category, we immediately kill it. I think that humans would have this reaction to the other human species, otherwise why are our horror movies dominated by humanoids, and not by animals?

Other animals that have such horror reactions are snakes, rats, cockroaches and spiders which are also horror movie material. Of all the bad stuff in the horror movies, the only one that is not directly around right now is the strange looking humanoid.
