The article is sort of weird, why Document, no sql, no schema DB to be a schema DB? One fundamental fact that you liked MongoDB in early days (first 5 years) because it was damn easy to handle anything you throw at, you learned to build the business around it. In 5 years, you learned enough, business model matured, not much changes in the data model. Now development progress is matured, you have got team to work on, your worries relies on consistency. You might want to back to SQL. Now you know what schema/table you need, string length, data type, constraint, relationship etc, because you learned that in 5 years time. You don't need to deal with new developers screwing the Document DB (like storing Object ID as string in few places)

Developers, who reads the article beware of reality, you can look back 5 years now, not looking forward 5 years ahead. Don't waste time in dealing with database columns and schemas, instead build the business faster, I found Mongo DB or any Document DB is good fit for agility.

1000's of business move to Document DB because it is schema-less.

While working on Document DB, you should be master in writing stand-alone scripts in Python/Perl/Ruby to run every-time you break the structure, or fix inconsistency.

cattle food is going into the food-system as a subsidy for human food... ie it is making high-quality proteing cheaper....

on the other hand, ethanol just makes people food more expensive....and it sucks as a fuel anyway (engineering reasons)...

Cool, I will give Vivid a shot since my goal is more livecoding than composing. Any chance of integrating graphics like Overtone has with Shadertone or Quil, or like Exetempore's builtin fuctions? Good work.
There are uses for (some) ethanol in gasoline. It boosts octane and decreases CO production (smog) by increasing fuel oxygenation, for starters.

Oxygenated fuel is fuel with extra oxygen that is released during combustion. Nitromethane is an especially dramatic example:

The oxygen content of nitromethane enables it to burn with much less atmospheric oxygen...
The amount of air required to burn 1 kg (2.2 lb) of gasoline is 14.7 kg (32 lb), but only 1.7 kg (3.7 lb) of air is required for 1 kg of nitromethane

Optimal strategy for a given hand isn't that hard to calculate, either. There are 32 choices of how to hold. 5 of them have 46 possible outcomes, 10 have 2070 possible outcomes, and the remaining can be looked up in a table with less than 13.5k entries.

It's very true it's a war. Each win we get against idiot corporations is a battle won, but the war rages on. Hard to say if it'll ever be "won."

It's especially hard when so many people are spouting stuff about how the free market will solve this (if I got a dollar every time "free market" was the drooled out answer to a complicated problem...). It's like we have to convince a critical mass of our peers of the benefits of free speech every time the issue comes up.

However, it's still important we fight each battle, each time one rears its ugly head, wherever it happens, with whatever resources we have available. The internet is too powerful a tool to be left in the hands of greedy slimeballs. It's the great equalizer. Anyone can have a voice, and anyone can listen to that voice, whether you're a giant corporation or a 12 year-old kid with a good idea.

It's worth the struggle.
Definitely not about spending 10 minutes on SQL Schema. It is all about maintenance. MongoDB is right use case, if you know what it will be there in Table.
That depends incredibly heavily on circumstances.

I've yet to see the research which indicates that we should see an even mix of men and women at the top of social structures when we already admit a difference in terms of both physical ability (eg, why we separate sports) and behaviors (eg, men tend to be more risk taking). For that matter, many distributions that we see which have no obvious component have different distributions between the two genders. For example, women often average a bit higher, but have fewer outliers (in both directions) when scored on intelligence.

I don't believe that there is no gender based component to behaviors (ie, that there isn't a gender based distinction in the distribution of normal behaviors for the two genders), and even a very slight distinction would become significant after rounds of selecting the outlier candidate over and over for promotion.

In much the same way that we see a dominance of men in athletic events, we might be seeing that in corporate leadership positions.
EXACTLY. The _only_ appropriate response to an employee approaching you with a harassment complaint and asking for HR intervention would be to get a representative (sounds like they didnt have one) and a lawyer involved immediately. Followed by asking if she needs anything to continue working while feeling safe.

Flex Fuel Vehicles are a thing in the United States too; but only up to 85% ethanol. One of my vehicles will run on E85, but since it would cost more and is not as available as regular gasoline, there is no real reason to use it.
Assuming a mythical "knows what they are doing" user, then parens aren't any different.
The whole ethanol story is a weird one. In the EU ethanol was (and still is) promoted as "environment friendly".

Facts are against it. There are plenty of studies, that ethanol is doing more harm to environment than it helps. The reason is, that conventional thinking that "corn growing reduces CO2" is just to simple. You must take into account all factors and also damages that are made by the ethanol production. And it is a fact, that rain forests and other natural plants are displaced by corn farms for ethanol. So conventional thinking "great we have more plants and CO2 is reduced" is just plainly wrong. This thinking was misguiding and misused by the ethanol lobbies.

It would be better to stay on normal gasoline and at the same time reduce the gasoline usage of cars and factories in mid-term. In long term, we should go for better energy sources (preferably solar and wind energy).

So, the environment is no valid reason for the ethanol promotion. What is the only (valid) reason to do so?: To get less dependent from the oil-countries. (so politics again)

But the best way would be to get rid of this environment-costly energy source for real environment-friendly ones.

You're basing your "damning enough" opinion on Pao's statements when questioned by her own attorney. But Lane's testimony was: "I thought that it should be investigated, I thought that it should be responded to, but that it was up to her," which while not great, seems quite less damning. The grandparent also called it "credible," however when Pao was cross-examined about whether she asked if Kleiner maintained a policy that prohibited discrimination or harassment, she said "yes" on the stand and "no" in deposition, making her seem less than credible regarding asking for clearer HR policies in this incident.
The reason this is a problem is not because documents are long, but because HTML does not have a concept of encapsulation. You can't make a subroutine--or rather, subtree--of HTML.

Arrington's Letter to Jenn Allen Regarding False and Defamatory Statements
Your <b>opinion <i>is</b> incorrect</i>
I recently attended a talk by the team that approximately solved the two player head's-up limit hold'em variant of poker. Their strategy is close enough to optimal that a perfectly exploiting opponent would take millions of played hands to expect to extract 1 big blind's worth of value.

The Oregon lottery should be held to a qualitatively similar standard. They should state how many cents an optimal player would expect to lose, per hand, by following the default advice instead of playing optimally. Also, there should be regulations about how high that opportunity cost can be.

... not that I think the machines are a good idea in the first place.
You're being downvoted because of your argument from intimidation ("no self-respecting web developer...") and your wording ("such an insane thing"), not due to a lack of understanding browsers.

I'm especially concerned about the loss of "var".

The web (as in HTML + JS) has always been about backward "interpretability" (meaning, a new feature won't break existing clients). The incompatibility of "var" and "strong mode" seems to be the most important break in this concept since JavaScript 1.1 and the introduction of the Array-constructor. (Some may remember the days, when we had to write two scripts, one for Netscape 2 and newer, and another one for older clients, each defining the same functions and producing comparable results. – Most of this was owed to features related to DOM-interaction. – Alas, the language-attribute ...)

Realistically, not everyone will have a fully updated (or even fairly current) browser, and this really shouldn't be an issue which necessarily breaks things. "strong mode" will thus limit access to only those clients with at least some support of ES6 (as in "let").

Please add some basic support of "var"!
I'd be OK with that. IF the state needs more money they should raise taxes.

It also relates to new mutations. An insect with 1,000 offspring might lose 95% of them and still be viable, but most birds or mammals would quickly go extinct if 95% of their offspring where non viable.

This is exactly what we did. The video frames were converted to tilesets and stored in the rom image. For playback, the memory mapper (MMC3) is used to swap between the frames without having to rely on too much CPU. Luckily Guy figured out the MMC3, otherwise we'd have only had enough space for a few frames.

Correct as well about the colors. It would have been nice to better utilize them, but we didn't have enough time to do that properly.

I use Twig for templating a lot, and I have to admit that while I indent per template, i don't even bother keeping track between parent and child.

But then, Twig has its own weird issues sometimes with adding whitespace so I've given up caring how templated html works altogether in that case.
But she did not complain about harassment at that time. Based on Techcrunch's article, she was complaining about Nazre making her work more difficult by cutting her out of key work discussions and taking her out of e-mail threads.
That is the rather depressing thing about this. The sorry state of HTML5 is an indictment of the much more sorry state of every other cross-platform GUI toolkit. When you start to break down all of the issues of development, training, deployment, and execution, HTML5 is the better tool. It's by no means a great tool, but what else do we have available?
which is good, because I keep running out. :)

Well Lane did confirm his silly anecdote about his ex wife. That was a very inappropriate response to an employee reaching out to him about sexual harassment. He should have hired an HR consultant immediately.

Additionally Nazre has a history of sexually harassing female coworkers so at this point it's looking pretty cut and dry.
Said Korean IKEA

Doesn't look whole lot different than other IKEA I've seen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrSnTCaENhk

In my opinion, IKEA is successful largely because they have huge breadth of products in terms of variety, design, quality, and price points.

It also helps that Koreans have been overpaying for furniture for decades.

This might be relevant if people were asked to oAuth approve something to get there report - but they only asked for my LinkedIn profile which means anything they got from there is public info already.

Bit suprised by that to be honest.. if this goes viral they just lost the opportunity to get a ton of oAuth Authorizations to LinkedIn which could have been v useful to them down the line for further data scraping (I would imagine).

The fact that they didn't suggests that they have their heads on the right side of your privacy concerns.
Where this line of reason goes completely off the rails is in thinking that schema-less databases are a hedge for future uncertainty. Yes they let you churn out code slightly faster, but then your data becomes a ball of mud just as quickly as your code base, except the former is much much worse because when you pivot you still need your data even if you decide to chuck out all the code that goes with it.

In fact, a traditional RDBMS is designed to allow for any kind of ad-hoc querying you desire with reasonable performance, and the ability to normalize/denormalize, index and materialize views in order to optimize unforeseen use cases. The excuse of poor scalability is just a rationalization that some kids who didn't understand SQL used to justify using something that has a shiny marketing page that they ignorantly found more viscerally appealing. The tradeoff was all wrong, because 99.9% of projects will never need to scale beyond a single DB server, and for those that do, the flexibility of a well-defined schema and ad-hoc queryability will give them an early advantage in what kind of pivots are reasonable—if they are lucky enough to have to scale then they can replace the RDBMS with the context of knowing what exactly their use case that they must scale is. And at that point you'll presumably have the resources to do it, which is much more effective than prematurely attempting to design a scalable infrastructure and discovering that you didn't have the first clue what the real bottlenecks or even the full use case would be.
Isn't this just office politics? It happens everywhere. It's not always "because you're a woman" but there are always people who dislike others and make it hard to do their job, don't invite them to work dinners, etc. That's bad but it's equally bad for people everywhere. And it's legal.

I actually bought one two weeks ago after my 6 years old smartphone died. I still haven't picked it up (shipped it to the US, getting there next week only), but it arrived at my friend's house with no problem. From all I read before making the purchase, it is a good phone, not hacker-proof though, as there is no such thing as a secure computer. But on the other hand, their development team has been extremely fast in patching bugs and pushing fixes.

Also, for those claiming that it is still uses insecure baseband chips and firmwares, the phone comes with Silent Circle suite apps which allows you to make end-to-end encrypted calls and messages, so even if you have a flawed baseband chip, it was built so you could have secure calls and messages through wifi, 3g or 4g, without worrying about the security vulnerabilities of those chips.

Because there may be some confusion here about what HR does, I'll pick one of the less-salacious episodes, the RPX board seat issue, to illustrate how it would play out at an organization which had a competent HR department.

First off, understand that discrimination based on sex or pregnancy is illegal in the United States. So if Ellen Pao walked into our hypothetical competent HR department and said that she had reason to believe that she's being discriminated against, HR would have cleared somebody's schedule to work with Ellen on this. It's serious shit, in other words.

HR would ask Ellen for everything on her side of the story (essentially the same stuff that's coming out in court now), and then draft up a brief which describes all the evidence (using the term "evidence" loosely here because this is just Ellen's side for now). HR would then take this file to the person who is allegedly discriminating against Ellen (I think it would be John Doerr in this case) and say, "I need your undivided attention on this, this is a serious matter" and then get John's side of the story.

After that, each situation is different, but it's pretty obvious to me that in the RPX case, HR would say to John "Look, it appears that Ellen did much more work on this than Randy so you need to think about why he got the board seat over her."

In most workplaces, at this point John would look over the documentation and realize that he probably DID discriminate against her and, most importantly, would be aghast at what he'd done. So then HR would work with both Ellen and John to develop a solution, which would probably include John apologizing to Ellen for undervaluing her contribution and a promise that he'll do better in the future. End Scene.

So in this scenario, not only does HR prevent a lawsuit from happening but also the company gets to keep a valued employee who can keep adding to the bottom line while at the same time educating her superior to keep better track of the contributions of all employees regardless of their race, sex, or background.

And why was Nazre doing that?
Between 1950 and 2000, corn production per acre in the US increased nearly 300%. Population increased 86%.

Subsidies do play a role, however American farm productivity is among the highest of any country and has skyrocketed in the last 50 to 60 years. This is due to technology, organization structure, and a geography favorable to nearly every type of farming. Few countries have all of those things, along with the world's largest consumer and capital markets.

Three million US farmers produce so much food they can feed not only all 320 million Americans, but also export a vast amount of food.
It similarly struck me as strange that many US states decide gambling should be illegal because it's a vice, or because it's taking advantage of people, but then turn around and give themselves a monopoly on offering it. And in some places, like New York, they advertise it very heavily - TV ads, billboards in the subway and on bus stations, quirky upbeat characters and themes ... But still, it's a bad thing and thus illegal for private companies to offer. So weird.
Completely eliminating emulation isn't always desirable, unfortunately. The problem with PVH is the forcing the use of event channels to deliver interrupts.

Local APIC emulation is fully accelerated on modern processors, which is a big win for any use case that is heavy on interrupts.
