You just described a Pick or "multivalue" database. They were a nightmare to work on, but I'll admit that's mostly because of the tools (or lack thereof). It led to people storing all sorts of different data in one table and the queries got really messy because multivalue fields had to be treated differently than regular ones.
It hasn't always been about religion, possibly community though.

Doing away with government marriages if it was for everyone. At the moment it is important because it has tax benefits and not having it equal makes gay people seem like second class citizens.
I agree! That's why I built https://www.plantdietlife.com/ It might be interesting to setup a meetup for people interested in harvesting sites like this.

The real kicker to this is:

"But obviously, mice are not people, so whether exercise can prevent or ameliorate macular degeneration in human eyes is “impossible to know, based on the data we have now,”"

I have a fairly complex view of animal testing where I think it may be justified in some situations, but this type of testing in situations where you self-admit you didn't learn anything knowingly human-applicable when you could have done a more long term study just observing the eye health of multiple sets of older humans (one set which lives an active lifestyle and one which does not) is pretty fucked up.
You can still get CS6, but CC, which was equivalent to CS6 when it started, is coming up on a year old, and you pay 20 dollars a month to have access to it. CC will continue to get updates. When you stop paying your 20 dollars, you stop having Photoshop at the end of the month.
"I can still download a binary of GHC 6.12.3."

Which won't even work on current versions of Debian GNU/Linux because the soname for libgmp changed.

"Hackage also keeps the entire package history so there's no reason things shouldn't build for years to come."

No it doesn't. I had specified a dependency on a particular version of text, and it summarily vanished from Hackage.

Even assuming that it's a worthwhile goal to make sure old software builds with current tools, upper bounds do nothing to get you there.
I think it's useful to point out egregious bad behavior in web design/implementation. Others can learn from the mistake, or people who wouldn't necessarily see something wrong with it can learn from the backlash it generates.
I'm a big believer in benchmarking before saying things, but I think we could skip the benchmarks when asking the question "does 1 4096-byte read or 4096 1-byte reads complete faster".

No, it's even older. Word 1.0 for Mac was released in '84 or '85 I think.
I generally agree with this. Not only does hanging around amazing people make you a bit more amazing, but it generally increases your drive and pushes you in whatever direction your buddies are going in.

Maybe it's just me, but I also get a huge kick out of doing what other people I know WON'T do.

Maybe it's some innate craving for attention, money, fame, whatever, but I really love doing things completely differently than my peers. Whether it means working on projects most people don't find interesting, pushing myself to do things wayyyy out of the ordinary in regards to jobs / physical stuff, or whatever -- I get a lot of satisfaction from pushing myself beyond what everyone else is doing.

I don't always come out successful, but when I do, it feels fucking fantastic >:)

I have a pretty diverse group of friends -- so I'm not sure if this makes a difference -- but I find myself wanting to constantly out perform my buddies (even though I'm happy to help them succeed, and vice-versa), as a way to stand out or something.

Shrug.

> Quite a few people would like CoreOS on Digital Ocean

I'm one of those, and currently trying to figure out a hacky workaround to make it possible.

I'm already doing this[1] to get a current Ubuntu kernel running on DO. The same principle would seem to apply: boot into the CoreOS kernel, but with an initrd that mounts a different btrfs subvolume than the "bootstrap" OS.

This would require DigitalOcean to have a btrfs-formatted image, though, because they don't offer any re-partitioning support... maybe having the initrd mount a loopback image containing a btrfs filesystem would work?

I'm getting to the point, though, where it might be less effort to just start my own CoreOS-centered hosting service than to continue with DO...

Yes I forgot. For some cultures in some time periods women were property that was traded from father to husband, in exchange for goods, and marriage was the contract that finalized the transfer of property. Especially for the higher classes that had a significant amount of property.

In some religions at least marriage signified a bond between two people, and not merely a transfer of property. My views are shaped somewhat by the fact that in Orthodox Christianity (the type I'm most familiar with), marriage isn't a transfer of property, and the bride isn't 'given' from father to husband. It's an equal arrangement. Whereas in Islam and 'western' Christianity the bride is 'given', much like property.
Punishing someone for their beliefs is never a good move.

My understanding is PostgreSQL does not have true indexed organized tables (Clustered Index in MSSQL). You can create the table as clustered on an index and it will do it one time, if new data is inserted it is not clustered, you have to manually recluster exclusively locking it. Also this does not help performance nearly as much in PG because the index used to cluster is still a normal index and used normally with indirection. The only performance benefit comes from the fact that the data being searched for might be on the same page saving some disk I/O. A true clustered index the table IS the index, the table is seeked directly. This also saves disk space and some I/O since a separate index is not built redundantly storing the data.

That being said an array should be even faster than a lookup to a secondary table with real clustered index since the array data would be in the row data of the main table incurring only the offset lookup to retrieve. There are definitely cases where hierarchical data structures are superior in performance to normalized ones. You gotta watch out though for hierarchical structures that store keys inline as the add their own space and I/O overhead (See shortening key names in Mongo DB). Arrays are a good choice though, they allow multi-value data inline without key overhead.
The economics make no sense. It costs more in electricity to run the program than to just pay for it directly. It's a trivially small amount.

They earned more because they obviously knew how to get ahead. Not because of their 'American' name.
You're wrong on two points:

a) Contributing financially to many religious institutions is explicitly financing groups who opposed gay marriage, and is an activity than many religious people undertake.

b) Advocating for something that in some views is unconstitutional is a constitutionally protected activity. The practice itself may be unconstitutional (I certainly think so), however, the political advocacy itself is not.

While I am not a defender of famo.us, the jury is still out, I think that investing in a framework for the future, especially when the future comes so quickly in the mobile space is fine. No one supports four year old devices, not Android nor iOS, so no framework support is okay too. Frameworks need to have their head in the future, especially if they require significant investment to create.

The difference is that only one of those positions in a boss is threatening. Take interracial marriage as a parallel. If you are in a mixed-race marriage and your boss has tried to prevent interracial marriage, you could reasonably feel threatened. Whereas if your boss supports equality, you won't worry whether you are in a same-race or mixed-race marriage.
I wish I could give this post 10 upvotes. There is a reason that the US has employment laws [Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Section 703(a)(1) & (2)] related to discrimination -- and its to stop precisely these sorts of questions from ever being questions in the first place.
On the other hand, it is my understanding that in Vietnam, brain injury surgeries without anesthesia and going in through the roof of the mouth instead of the skull were pioneered on seriously injured soldiers which yielded important forward progress in how to improve brain surgery. So if these patients would currently die anyway, it gives them a shot they don't currently have and is a potential learning experience for medical practitioners.

When current methods lead only to death, there is no real downside to trying something new. We know exactly what we are doing and it leads to certain death versus we don't really know what we are doing and it leads to probable death -- most folks will take the "probable death" option.

But thank you for chiming in.
As others have said, risk=chargebacks which bitcoin does fix. with CCs merchants basically have to trust customers and being overseas makes you untrustworthy (like to chargeback).

Lots of other things imply risk. The only way to reduce it is by finding out more about customers: full name, current location, previous location, chargeback history and anything else that the merchant, CC company, payment gateway and 3rd parties hired by any of these can find.

That segways nicely into the high profile brokeness that bitcoin aims to fix: privacy. I prefer a world where people can buy stuff without their name being crosschecked and recorded by all these parties, at least by default. If we want to require porn or ammunition or whatnot to be purchased by verified individuals, lets do it with some explicit identity check instead of by default in some opaque way.
Office 365 is downright cheap compared to Adobe's subscription offerings: $600/year or $75/month.

Granted, that gives you access to a huge suite of applications. But if you only need, say, three of them, you can subscribe individually, which at $20/app/month, would cost you a mere $720/year!

And unlike Office, which is still available as a desktop app without a subscription, Adobe has discontinued its entire non-subscription-based suite.
I could be wrong too however we are both just stating opinions and mine is proven to work eventually so why am I being downvoted?

The difference between voting for Prop 8 and voting for Obama or Bush is that voting for a political candidate is a much more complicated affair. Obama and Bush have opinions about many issues, and it's impossible to find a political candidate that agrees with you on every issue. So you necessarily must make compromises.

But Prop 8 is much more simple. Here is the full text:

>SECTION I. Title
>This measure shall be known and may be cited as the "California Marriage Protection Act."
>SECTION 2. Article I. Section 7.5 is added to the California >Constitution. to read:
>Sec. 7.5. Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or >recognized in California.

Voting on that measure is a very simple decision: you either agree with that one point or you disagree with it. So yes, it is possible to create a much better opinion of a person's view on a particular matter who votes one way or another on Prop 8 than on which candidate they vote for.

> The best solution IMO is to use a risk analyzer to determine the number of needed confirmations

As I understand it, you can still feel pretty safe with 0 confirmations if you're monitoring the bitcoin network for double-spend attempts over the average network propagation time. If you don't see any double-spend attempts anywhere on the net by the time most of the net has seen your transaction, you're probably good. There are a lot of hidden pitfalls in bitcoin security (such as - the above isn't guaranteed, if miners change their mind to be greedy and pick the transaction with the highest fee instead of the first one, that method breaks) so I'm not sure if it's bulletproof though.
@cperciva, slightly off-topic: I had a curious question this past week about one aspect of the scrypt algorithm. If I recall correctly, it sandwiches the memory hard function between PBKDF2, and uses Salsa20 as the mixing function internally. In the spirit of reducing code, I'm wondering if it makes sense to replace Salsa20 with HMAC, SHA256, or just SHA256's mixing function? It would reduce the number of crypto primitives in the implementation. Not that it really matters much, but just curious (and partially curious if Salsa20 had specific properties that are useful in scrypt's design). Sorry if this is a dumb question; I was going to read back through your scrypt paper, but have been busy all week.

So you are storing the entire dataset on the GPU then, to speed up processing? Or is there support for a "minibatch" mode that sends chunks at a time to be processed?

Unless this more an issue with the model size of the "Krizhevsky net" being on the order of 6GB?

Also, does this mean you managed to get a 2D convolutional kernel optimized for Kepler architectures? If so, that is awesome! Alex's code is still only optimized for Fermi architectures if I recall correctly.

Do any of you know why btrfs is being pushed rather than [the more mature and super flexible] zfs?

There is lots of debate if you search google for comparisons, though they usually seem to end up favoring zfs, which is why I'm a little perplexed here.

e.g.

Notably, I also ran into a show-stopping kernel bug [0] with btrfs within a day or two of the first production rollout of ShipBuilder [1] (it's an open-source self-hosted PaaS Heroku clone). Since switching to zfs there have been zero file-system related issues with any ShipBuilder production or staging environment so far as I am aware.

I don't understand this statement.

It's controversial that an extra cost attached to every transaction in a big wide chunk of the economy will bring up costs to consumers.

It's not very different to sales tax.
RHEL7 will support btrfs as a technology preview, which means they'll likely support it fully in a point release. That is a HUGE vote of confidence coming from their QA team.

a) When you fund "mormonism" or whatever, there is a lot of plausible deniability that you're not a bigot, as this is a huge population of people doing a mix of things, mostly good. In contrast, when you specifically fund Prop 8, you need a really good excuse.

b) Advocating for something that is purely prejudicial and hateful is deserving of censure.

As I said, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about holding people accountable for their political views in general, but I do have some rationale for leaning toward censure in this particular case.
