I agree with you, per our experience Mongo is not scalable.
We use Mongo in our company (60GB per db.stats().fileSize), both for relational data, and for what we call "fat data" (just to avoid calling these mere gigabytes "big data" -- those are just lots of statistical numbers, more like OLAP cubes).

Over many problems and sad surprises, we came to the point that we'd better have used PostgreSQL (or any other SQL) for relational data, and some NoSQL for "fat data". Or just single PostgreSQL would do better, because Mongo's feature set is a subset of PostgreSQL's feature set. Just Mongo renamed them and pretends it's something new.

Roughly they use a model of the face, render it, compare the source image and the rendered image, estimate changes of position, orientation and deformation for the model that will yield a better match and then just repeat this until the result is good enough. While you probably can exploit temporal coherence between frames the process is inherently pretty expensive due to its iterative nature. But it may also be relatively easy to parallelize bbecause of this.
I've kept bees for years, and I don't know anyone who does it that hasn't ever been stung. You get stung all the time, regardless of the safety gear you're wearing. Bees will get stuck in a fold of cloth, get mad, and sting (your suit isn't THAT thick). It's hot in those suits too, and your veil will sometimes stick to your skin, which is another way they get you. Or you use the same gear for a few years and it starts to wear. What's really no fun is when a bee finds its way into your suit. Been there, done that :)

What changes is you stop caring about being stung after a while, and you build up an immunity to it (stings start to swell less and clear up faster). And you learn to know when the hive is getting real angry, and it's time to back off for a while. But bees will be bees, and they sting things that mess with them.
That looks more like google's oneboxes/knowledge graph box, which already had that kind of data (unless you're referring to something else on that page, correct me if I'm wrong).

This looks like it's per-page extracted data, if google has been able to extract data from that page, so basically a structured-data result snippet.

Imagine something you're deeply ashamed of, it's quite irrelevant whether that shame is justified or not -- we're discussing psychosis here. So we're not discussing "wow I really feel bad I didn't fix that bug I promised to", we're talking a context analagous to "my <insert relative here> raped me and I believe I'm to blame for the disolution of the only family I knew".

Now imagine discussing that with your hypothetical friends or peer group. Hypothetical? Why is that? It's hypothetical because a frequent consequence of damaging experiences is the inability to form meaningful connections with others that engender that kind of trust or dynamic. Even if you were, would you really want people you're presumably planning to know for the rest of your life to have that as your reference point? And what happens when your peer groups or friends are a entwined or part of the problem? Who do you turn to then?

Now humour me just a little more and substitute the word "ashamed" in the first sentence for every extant and applicable negative adjective. That is why you need a setting that insulates you in order to enable you to begin to address and introspect in a therapeutic session, without "prop" like MDMA that sort of setting takes time, qualifications and skill to build - and in some case is impossible to build.

Anti depressants are not the first option to treat depression. Try CBT from an experienced practitioner, in combination with medication if needed.

2) exercise is moderately better than nothing for depression. Exercise is not better than anti-depressants, although there aren't many studies. Exercise is not better than talking therapies, although there aren't many studies. When you only look at good quality research the benefits of exercise over nothing are less clear. http://summaries.cochrane.org/CD004366/DEPRESSN_exercise-for...

3) and 4) are the equivalent of telling someone to just cheer up. This is unlikely to be helpful and may be harmful.

HURD is functional, it's just not really used by anything or anybody, so it's missing a lot of features. It's also to some degree rotting, last I checked it still was limited to i386. But HURD distros do exist in variants like Debian HURD, albeit maintained by skeleton crews.

Point I am getting at is that it was made, it just was poorly timed. By the time it was semi-working, Linux was already entrenched. HURD couldn't collect momentum to really find a bigger niche.
I was helping a friend of the family out once w/ his bees, and he was the kind of keeper that didn't have any veils. I ended up getting stung three times on the same side of my face (twice in my eyebrow, once next to the eye) when they got angry, and I had to leave ASAP and drive 20 minutes home before the swelling would affect my vision.

I was out of commission for about a week after that. The whole right side of my face was swollen, and I couldn't see out of that eye for most of that time. It looked like I got in a fight and lost :)

And that was the last time I went into a hive without a veil.
Same with New Egg ... but I guess it's because patent trolls know the patents aren't worth much unless they try to hit every "big" user who can pay up. And even if 88% of cases are won if followed through, I bet 88% of the time they're not followed through, and the payments then keep trolls alive. Reform is still our best option, for software patents.

The solution to this problem of pools of power probably lies in solving what is and isn't allowed using a continuous consensus based method. To enable that, we need realtime feeds of everything available, available to all, and some sort of filtering mechanism to deliver video to the right people for evaluating consensus on whatever happens that is contestable. Today's 'powerful' are only powerful because they control the information. Whatever gets built to improve upon society needs to ensure it can't be wielded for self gain or increased lever of power action.

I am well aware what photoshop can do and can't do having used it since it's early days.

You are however missing the point here.

Photoshop is being used for web design and app design as much if not more and have also added things like vectors to it's suite of tools to reflect that.

It's has nothing to do with whether bitmap editing goes aware but with what is going to be the de facto standard. If anything post-processing of images have removed much of the need for the core functionality of photoshop and will be easily re-produced by other editors.

Oh there was an element of that in there as well. But bear in mind before Lehman they'd bailed out AIG I believe to the tune of 200billion USD? I think to keep effectively writing blank cheques to cover Wall Street's fuckups was becoming increasingly untenable. I think they were faced with three choices, keep bailing out publicly which was politically untenable, bailout on the quiet which would likely have ended up with Japanese style Zombie corporations or let Lehman fail and get the worst over with.
This fits with my experience as well, with (possibly) a larger data set.

MongoDB is actually pretty good as a document store, where you can accept soft commits, and are dealing with non-relational data that doesn't need to be aggregated.

When you start needing more than just a loose pile of documents, or live in a world where you really need ACID, Mongo has this nasty habit of falling down on the floor and twitching.

Those problems are solveable, but it doesn't just happen "out-of-the-box".

Let's all hope Terry doesn't learn AI enough to equip TempleOS with the ability to learn (as well as networking). There's is no guessing as to what a randomized OS with a god-complex might do.
" If the secondary address isn't specified or is specified as 0 (e.g. LOAD "FILE",8), the file is saved/loaded from the BASIC memory area (which, on the C64, starts by default at $0801). If the secondary address is specified as a non-zero value (e.g. LOAD "FILE",8,1), the program is loaded starting from the address specified by the file itself (the PRG header, which is the first two bytes of the file)—this form of command is more common when loading machine code programs."

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_DOS

You are right in that auto loaders can be created using this method, but the ,1 means, load this file to the memory location specified by the first 2 bytes of the file.

Sam has a great blog post about this: http://blog.samaltman.com/non-technical-founder-learn-to-hac...

The title says it all - learn to hack.
We often criticise systemd for being too bloated, and making it hard to write a drop in replacement. I totally agree with this line of thought.

However, in my mind it has made several awesome things possible. My boot time got dramatically shorter when I adopted it thanks to parallelization. Besides, daemons have now simple and robust service definitions. Sys V had become a mess!

Lastly, lightweight containers are the real-deal for small development tasks (not for production!). Just one command: systemd-nspawn, and you're ready to go. Docker is currently a bit more complicated to set up.

Arguably, many features, including containers, should be moved out of systemd. Right now, more than a monolithic architecture, I think systemd is rather shipping too many things under the same project umbrella.
A lot of text (and HN comments) from TempleOS are randomized (i think markov chains) from dictionaries with apparently a bent toward racism and vulgarity.
This is the problem with trying to shoehorn reality into a purist ideology: people. Wherever you go, there you are. Until we learn how to stop being shitty and selfish, democratic government looks like the least bad option.
I doubt it. Like I said in another comment, the only people I personally know with paid-off houses in California are tradespeople and startup lottery winners.

> The other half of that thought, "at the price I'm willing to pay" is almost never mentioned.

Think on that for a second. Let's say CompanyX is willing to pay huge gobs of money for engineers. Now CompanyX employs all the good engineers and everyone else whines that they can't find any. So CompanyY comes along and offers a bit more. Some engineers bail and move over, but most are happy where they are/don't want the life change/etc. And on it goes. It's like the search for a mate: the older you get, the more likely it is you've found a situation you want to keep. In the engineering case, "skilled engineers" are for the most part older, may have other responsibilities (mortgage, kids, spouse), have had the opportunity to "sow their wild oats" by trying a few different companies/startups/whatever, and have found a situation they want to keep.

spotify can be a local player but it is a terrible choice.
The reason people use UNIX-like systems is because they work reliably. In order to make a complex system work reliably, it needs to be easily fixed. In order to fix a system, a person needs to understand it as well as be able to make a change in it. And in order to understand a system, it helps very much if that system is straightforward and lucidly verbose.

I hope systemd will live or die on its merits; I fear that it will take over via politicking.
Here's a python one-liner that will do it:

import os; import random; os.system("vim %s +%s" % (lambda f: (f, random.randint(1,len(open(f).readlines())+1)))(random.choice([f for f in sum([[os.path.join(p, f) for f in fs] for (p, ds, fs) in os.walk(".")], []) if not ".git" in f])))

Type correctness can help eliminate an entire class of bugs (type mismatch bugs) found in dynamically typed languages, or various gotchas with implicit typecasting.
There is still a single lock per db. It also uses huge amounts of space (around double JSON of same data). That puts increased pressure on memory. It also has no usable compaction. And can be rather dumb with indexes. (note)

The main mongo solution for things is to run lots of copies of it across many machines each with small chunks of data. In theory what is then a pain point on bigger systems becomes lots of lesser pains on small systems.

(note) every criticism is answered with how the next release will improve things. Sometimes that happens.

Surely those app/games have an obvious social function, entertainment. That is the vehicle through which these Skinner-box like tools are accepted enabling them in a minority of cases to extract relatively large amounts of cash via, eg, IAP.

I, like millions upon millions of others, played both and found them entertaining. They don't appear to return value commensurate with their incomes and have certain strong negative influences on a limited number of players.

The function of hedge funds is to extract worth from the financial markets by riding natural, or forced, fluctuations in the price of securities and other instruments.

It's financial trickery that enables extraction of value without valuable input. There's always some arm-wavey stuff about how they add valuable liquidity but TBH that always seems bogus to the extent that the liquidity gained isn't worth anywhere near the value extracted. As they're meta-trades they may have a damping effect but it seems if an acceleration can be achieved, using lots of leverage, then more gains are created. Encouraging market instability appears to be the way to create greater opportunities for profit - but I'm a layman, perhaps I'm seeing it wrong?

As far as social function it seems that is to hedge the investments of the rich [which term I recognise is subjective] with returns which don't necessarily fall with traditional markets.
I've been increasingly interested in the Face. Human beings must have some incredible mental calculations going on when parsing a face. We're an evolved species that use the face as a form of communication.

I love the attached video in the link because it isolates perfectly the face. If you look closely you can see these tiny minute combinations within the face as each person talks; the eyes shifting, the face rotating, looking in various directions, the forehead crunching, the eyebrows raising, smiling, etc. All of these "cues" combine to create a message that we interpret instantly.

The face has inspired me lately to read more into this subject as it seems, at least on the surface, to be an extremely complex innate human ability; facial recognition.

Some of his arguments have merit (corrupt Chinese government as a source of risk) but other ones are ridiculous. A "pop at the IPO" is something that happens in bull markets, and doesn't mean we've hit 1999 excess. Also, I have been to the Alibaba site and it is a real thing.

9 Ways to make your Business Website more Lead - Friendly
Seconded; we've had a very positive experience with it so far. We're running around 1.5TB in it (and growing) and it's working pretty decently.

Our biggest problems with it have been CPU saturation due to compression (solvable with sharding) and oplog size (due to supporting ACID; supposedly much better in the upcoming release), but both of those are surmountable. In exchange we get massively better disk usage characteristics, no global locks, ACID compliance, transactions, and generally better performance. It's not perfect, but it solved a lot of our problems.

"Mathematics is a part of physics."

Oh? I suppose making this assertion is the same as proving it.

"The ugly building, built by undereducated mathematicians who were exhausted by their inferiority complex and who were unable to make themselves familiar with physics, reminds one of the rigorous axiomatic theory of odd numbers."

How vile.
