Supporting Redshift is actually pretty simple. The only problem is that you need to pay for a cluster for testing. However, since it's pay-by-the-hour you can keep charges minimal (don't forget to delete the cluster when you are done testing!)

Here are a few gotchas with redshift:
1) OID and CTID columns show up in the catalog, but you can't access them.

2) Primary Keys and unique indices aren't actually enforced!! You can insert two rows with the same primary key.

3) Make sure you only access catalogs that exist in 8.0, eg. there is no pg_matviews before 9.3, there's no typcategory before 8.4 etc. (fortunately the PostgreSQL docs are very helpful)

4) When setting the "application_name" connection parameter, PostgreSQL will have to connect twice to a Redshift server. Recent versions of libpq do so automatically, but you should keep this in mind (eg. when using SSH tunnels, or when validating SSL certs)

However, all in all, it's pretty easy to add support for Redshift. (I know because I'm the developer of PG Commander)

As a Dutch immigrant to Canada and a Shopify employee, I can assure you that the Germany-Netherlands rivalry is alive and well at this side of the ocean :)

All kidding aside, I cannot upvote this enough. The difference in how immigrated is treated is vast between Canada and the Netherlands. Yes, people complain about it here too, but success stories like this and a history of immigration makes sure the general opinion on immigration is favourable.
Try Navicat (http://navicat.com – looks like they even have a Cyber Monday sale right now). Been using it for a couple of years now, and it's great (also "feels native", which is a must for me). There are many editions (I have "Premium Essentials", which was affordable and does all that I need).

As a bonus, it connects to all the major RDBMSes.

If memory use is a huge issue, you can get down to 400KB or so without using the stdlib - just copy in the isolated code you need if your tool actually requires it. Even with liberal use of the stdlib it's not 5MB on average, more like 1-2MB - where did that 5MB figure come from? It is possible to have smaller binaries with static linking but you have to be careful. Of course it'd be nicer if they were more the size of tiny linux utils (30KB), but they'd need dynamic linking for that, which brings up other issues.

If you are severely resource constrained, and need to have lots of tiny programs resident in memory at once, then go with static linking is not a good choice, but does this preclude using go tools on modern servers, desktops, phones where many binaries are typically > 1MB today and many are only run for short periods anyway?
If you get too many queries you can hit Cmd-L to clear the display in Terminal. I recently also added a cancel command to stop queries when you forgot a limit clause.

I am somewhat skeptical about this.

It sounds like they tried to apply thin-film optics for this material, given their talk of layers that are both extremely thin and precisely defined. Thin-film optics relies on interference effects between transmitted and reflected light, and enables very specific optical behavior. For example, using thin films it is possible to make a stack of layers that reflects a very specific, narrow band of wavelenghts, while transmitting everything else. In real-life, rewritable optical media such as CD-RW and DVD-RW make use of thin-film optics.

The point though is that thin-film optics only works for coherent light, such as laser light. Sunlight is not coherent, and you will not get the desired interference effects, because the light waves are not "synchronized", as it were.

So while I could be wrong, I wouldn't be surprised if the performance of this reflective sheet is very low, and nowhere near what would be required to replace air-con.

I got an alternative interpretation by reading it in minutes and torpedo ranges.

All the real specs are classified but the pessimistic public stats indicate a nuclear sub can be out of destruction range within five or so minutes, assuming your detection is perfect to the foot.

Also the destruction distance makes it a nearly perfect ASW weapon against WWII submarines equipped with WWII torpedoes, because the range of an old Mk18 is a mile or so, so if a WWII submarine came thru a time warp and got in close enough to attack a modern carrier, the destroyer screen could pretty much one-shot the sub without serious damage to itself.

The problem comes from modern torps and modern subs. So a nuke running at 20 kts fires a Mk 48 at comfortable-ish 10 miles (eh, maybe half its unofficial range). First of all being 10 miles away you can't just drop the depth charge and expect it to destroy a sub 5 times further away than the official limit. Secondly, at 20 knots for the nuke sub and 20 knots for the ASW destroyer, that 10 miles is 30 minutes to get over the launch position for a destroyer at which time the sub is 10 miles away in a random direction, far out of range. Third even if a destroyer or ASW plane is overhead and drops the charge on a sub, from the testing they detonated at 2500 feet down, and that half mile is going to take awhile. Not that long, but awhile. Meanwhile the sub floors it and at (classified) top speed its going to take well under 2 minutes to get out of the destruction zone.

Its not exactly fish the barrel if you try to wargame it out. The TLDR is drawing a one mile radius circle of destruction isn't necessarily effective if your target takes substantially less than 3 minutes to go one mile.
Yeah, its the same with QWERTY, the only way you could replace the existing system is if the new system was so much better in some way that it replaces it by default. Mobile phone keyboards are the only thing to come close to replacing qwerty, and most of them just re-implement it anyway.

Standing Invitation
In 16th century england, probably.

The only country that has a statistically significant # of people working consistently over 40 hours a week, are in the US. These people eventually work themselves to an early grave, and often end up costing society a lot in the form of requiring expensive healthcare because of their unhealthy lifestyle.

This slippery slope goes both ways. I'll run down both slopes just as a thought exercise:

If we give you the freedom of choice to work yourself to death, then efficiency goes way down. proof? Well, let's look at the US, where minimum wage is dirt cheap and between immigrants sending money home and the simple fact that people can't make ends meet without working more than 40 hours (bad social security), it actually happens a lot. This part of the US job market is markedly less healthy than for example europe. It's simply inefficient: These conditions are causing rampant crime (SEE: factor 100, not exaggerating, higher incarceration rates, which is also due to drug policy, but bad social security and crappy entry-level job market isn't helping surely), and crime is actually more expensive. It costs society the same amount of money to throw 5 people of a 100 in jail and have the remaining 95 work like dogs, then it is to give all 100 a better education and a better social security safety net, and have 95 work normal hours and have 5 on paid low-level subsistence.

In the end, either (A) society gets to decide how much you get to work, or (B) if you are so poor that it costs society more to let you live (due to either having to incarcerate you, or paying for your acute hernia due to overworking yourself or collapsed lung because you hit a tree due to exhaustion), society takes out a gun and shoots you.

So, unless we're all willing to take the moral stance that society is justified in killing anybody that doesn't clearly prove that they are a net positive contribution to society, then 'individual freedom of choice' is a pipe dream in this aspect, and more liberal, in the sense that you're intentionally letting society pay for an individual's poor health choice.

And going down the other slope: If society gets to dictate how you should live because it ends up having to pay the bills if you live badly, then society gets to ban pork, cigarettes, alcohol, driving of any sort, all housing will be built strictly to exact code and nothing else, the state will take care of your finances, etc, etc. extreme communism.

Let's just go with: socio-economic models are a heck of a lot more complicated, and extremist positions such as 'always just let everyone do whatever, no laws!' are usually deplorably wrong or misguided. There are no easy answers.

NB: Note that few to no countries make it illegal to work over the established normal working week hours. However, they DO declare that this construes overtime and adds economic disincentives. For example, overtime is taxed more heavily, or the state sets a higher minimum wage for overtime hours, etc.

There's weak and strong level of solving chess.

You don't need to know the best move in every position of every possible chess game in order to play perfectly.

Eg. playing with White it is enough for you to always know what your best move is. And once you stick to it, then 99.9999... of these possible games will NEVER occur, because that would require White making at least one non-perfect move on the way.
The largest US test was Castle Bravo at 15Mt and that was far more than the expected yield of ~6Mt (which caused a lot of problems):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Bravo

The Soviets did test a 50Mt version of a 100Mt design - the "Tsar Bomb":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba

The US did have a 25Mt weapon which was a real "3 stage" design (i.e. primary/secondary/tertiary - presumably both the secondary and tertiary being fusion/fission).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B41_nuclear_bomb

The USSR had SS-18s with very large warheads (20-25Mt) - presumably to hit deep bunkers (Cheyenne Mountain, Raven Rock Mountain etc.).

An economics minor could also work if you're interested in game theory but you have to check the curriculum carefully. Usually you can mix mostly statistics (or econometrics) and game theory to get the econ credits.

I'd probably pick CS, math or psychology as a good combination with philosophy.
Theoretical physics is probably interesting as well but I don't know much about it. Quantum physics seems almost impossible without dipping into philosophy from my pop-QP point of view.

I'm mostly interested in science theory/epistemology/ontology though and know fairly little about other branches of philosophy. No formal education but I've talked to philosophers on campus and it's usually very interesting. I'd agree that a major benefit seems to be a sharpened thought process in general.
Former US Navy submarine officer here. First, this article clearly shows how nuts the US military was acting in the height of the cold war. Just... wow.

On a more practical note, when I was on board my boat I read some of the studies/papers/results that were done quite a few years ago now where the Navy exploded torpedos at increasing ranges to a relatively modern nuclear-powered submarine. From what I remember, the point was to better understand both failure modes of equipment as well as unexpected interactions between systems as potentially unexpected failures occurred. I don't remember the details (and couldn't share them if I did) but was really glad a) that the Navy had done this testing, and b) that I hadn't been on board when it had happened!

If you input a score ("{-1,0,1} on final positions") its effectively a label, that makes the training supervised rather than unsupervised. See [1] for good reasons to be skeptical of unsupervised learning in general.

See [2] for a twist on the DeepMind Atari player. They use Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS of automated Go playing fame) to generate training data. By feeding that more carefully generated gameplay data into the deep q-learning net, they exceed DeepMind's (non-MCTS-coupled) performance.

The unfortunate reason for that is a data editor can be whacked out in a couple of weeks (well, at least an MVP).

Making object editors takes a lot more effort, especially considering all the different objects PostgreSQL has: schemas, tables view, materialized views, indices, functions, sequences, etc.

I'm struggling with this myself. I'm currently trying to add object editors to PG Commander, and it's months and months of work.

Not true at all on systems that use on-demand paging (i.e. all systems in the past 30 years). Only what's used is paged-in, and it's paged-in only when it's used. A big part of Go binaries are DWARF info, which are not paged-in in regular operation. Also, much of the code is not paged-in either. The code is currently bloated because the linker can't always statically determine which methods it can elide (it does that for functions), because Go allows to query the dynamic type of an interface at runtime (reflection, type switches and type assertions, and all that). Alan Donovan has done some promising static analysis work that will allow the linkers to elide more code than they do now.
And even without SNI (e.g. IE on XP), there must be only one SSL site hosted on that particular IP, so the attacker can just connect to it and see what site (s)he gets.

Philosophy PhD here. Get a degree in a STEM field and do philosophy on the side, possibly as a minor. Philosophy is badly in need of people who possess serious expertise in other fields and who can bring their expertise to bear on philosophical issues. We've had enough of people who only ever studied philosophy.

On the other hand, if your university has some sort of interdisciplinary program that combines philosophy with computer science, cognitive science, or some other STEM field, then go for it. Just make sure that it's a stable, well-funded, populous program (not something that only exists for the sake of placating a particular professor), and that your degree looks sciencey enough, e.g. it says B.Sc. instead of B.A.

Of course, YMMV depending on your university and the availability (or lack thereof) of certain faculty members during your stay.
"Unintended" side-effect yes. But not really avoidable. The very nature of viruses means destruction, competition for resources with other physiological processes in the host, and they only have a limited capacity to tune their reproduction for optimal transmission. Too little reproduction (and in the wrong places) means too little transmission, too much reproduction means too much damage and thus also less transmission.

> Unfortunately, the process of building houses can't be compared to building software. Houses don't get bolted sideways onto scyscrapers 5 years after they're built, or suddenly need to accommodate multiple order of magnitude more people than they were originally built to hold. These are regular occurrences in the software world.

Most likely, not a lot of things compare to building houses in all aspects.

The point is, if developers are having problems wrt. scaling, then we need to build tools that abstract away scale. Define a language that allows the runtime to auto-scale, depending on load. As far as I can see, it's "just" another engineering challenge, not essentially different from figuring out how to make a skyscraper withstand heavy winds.
