Seems sketchy.

While Postgres can do full text search and it may help you in your case, you can set up Elasticsearch for this sort of quantity of data in like an afternoon, if that.

Also, these 'advanced features' people are throwing around are really trivial; they're the sort of things that would crop up in lecture 2 of an information retrieval course. Good search is really reliant on proper weighting etc (not like 'we weight the title more highly than the body' but more 'foogle is a far more important word than bar, if we have both in a query, we care about foogle more'). This generally requires a tonne of experimentation; information retrieval is not easy and it's very subtle.

Postgres seems to try and make everyone design their own ranking function, which is a recipe for disaster. I haven't used Elasticsearch for a while, but I'd be surprised if they didn't have a bunch of relatively good presets.

Postgres is good for loads of things, but Elasticsearch or Solr are state-of-the-art and Postgres isn't (so far as I know); if you aren't just hacking around then please consider the extra time to set up Elasticsearch and it'll make your life easier.
As I see it, the more people do this, the less discrimination will be acceptable. No, I wouldn't ever personally advise someone to behave this way if they were seeking to further their career. However, if I were to advise humanity in general, I would suggest that we need everyone with such conditions to start doing it in order to force change.

It's nearly the same thing as racial discrimination, except that it's based on something unseen. Rosa Parks didn't move civil rights forward by avoiding the negative consequences of acting how she believed she should. Sometimes the only way to get closer to that idealized world we'd all like to see is by acting like we're already there. Money isn't everything.
I forget to add a license in fact.Thx for your suggestion.I'll do it when I get free.
One of the things I most like about the EFF is that they increase the transparency of back room deals that help special interests to the detriment of the general public.

A little off topic, but in the last day I have found two public data sites that increase transparency in government finances at the local, state, and federal level: http://www.statedatalab.org and http://www.truthinaccounting.org
So, has anyone managed to install the torque plugin?
Thank you for posting this, I hadn't read it until just now. It's clearly written, and the subject matter is historically accessible; I'm surprised I haven't seen it referenced in other discussions about Holacracy, Valve, etc.
Platform snapping... That's a really good idea that I've never noticed. I'm going to experiment with this.
Well, for a space drive it's really attractive because combining the fuel and propellant lets you get around a lot of worries regarding things melting. The big limiting factor around conventional nuclear thermal drives is that the fuel wants to melt before it gets hot enough to give you the sort of ISPs you really want.

You can have pure fission designs where your fuel is mixed with or only in contact with your propellant like the gas core[1] or the nuclear saltwater[2] rockets but those are in constant danger of exploding.

Yeah, I was still considering it at the time, even though I was on at&t, instead of Sprint. There were some form posts of guys depopulating the chip SIM, and wiring in a SIM card holder. The thought of doing that to an expensive new phone and still being sick with 2G speeds stopped me from moving forward.

I've looked at some BT keyboards with my glass brick, but the keyboards themselves were terrible.
Hmm, that's curious, though I don't think it's ever a good idea to tell someone they are divorced by reality :)

I think some types of developers are more likely to make type error mistakes, and it's likely I make other mistakes, sure. I've done a wide about of massively-open source projects, and it doesn't really come up. The times I pass the wrong object type simply doesn't happen.

Do you use keyword arguments? These help a TON with argument order, and may be why you are having that problem.
Here in Mexico, it is declared in our constitution that it is a human right to have a decent salary... yet most of us Mexicans dont' have it. My point is, anybody can say what are human rights, and I think Chile has the whole right to say education is a human right.

> What you're not understanding is that when we describe something as "monolithic" (or "modular") we're talking about if the design[2], not the number of binaries it happens to compile into.

What you're not understanding is that these other binaries do not run as PID 1, which is what nextos wrongly claimed.

> This is about minimizing complexity, and the way to do that is to break the problem into small pieces, while clearly and rigorously defining the interconnections between those pieces (an area that necessarily involves higher complexity).

Which is the exact opposite of what has happened during the sysvinit times.
The point is moot, we had a vote on PR just after the last election. The vast majority did not vote for it.
I come from a similar situation and these sorts of discussions always frustrate me. Hearing well-off middle class people, typically White, debate lower class struggles. I lived through this. All of my friends had the same opportunities. I’m not exceptionally talented, but I got out and they stayed in the ghetto. I graduated high school, they dropped out. They bought Nikes and Nintendos, I went to the public library.

Ultimately, from what I experienced growing up, the poor keep each other down. So while they chose friends, I chose solitude. Because “fitting in” meant remaining poor, choosing crime and materialism over education and grades.
I also doubt it.

The critical parts in mathematics are the foundations and basics. These have been studied over and over again by many smart people. I think if there is something wrong, it would have been found. If you are familiar with mathematics you will probably agree with this assessment.

And, in the unlikely case that there is an issue, then it will be worked around, so no harm is done to the rest of mathematics. Luckily, in mathematics, we make the world (axioms and definitons) like we wish it to be. There is a famous quote I don't recall right now about mathematics being now in the garden of eden and mathematics shall never be forced to leave it again.

However, non-critical parts of mathematics like advanced research is often plagued by mistakes.

Computer-verified proofs are the necessary future of mathematics.

One little remark, people often assign more attributes to functions than just the mapping-tuples itself and optionally the codomain. Often the arithmetic formulation of the mapping is part of the function because we want to differentiate based on the way the function is written.
A white American being Christian is so common that I wonder why the original poster felt that this was worth emphasizing.
Well, RasPi + pagekite.net is pretty practical; admittedly not for the masses, but for anyone with just a little technical knowhow it's pretty straightforward and costs next to nothing to run.
As an urban design graduate, those seem like the least glaring misses...

Your own server (RasPi?) + pagekite.net will solve this.
So which one is it?
You could, sure, but that depends on Twitter still being around if/when the case comes to court. The blockchain, being independently held and cross-verified at every node of the network, is more reliable in this regard.
Why did you want to do it this way, rather than using CSS classes and a stylesheet? I've read the Radium intro and I still don't get their use-case. To me it feels like a misunderstanding of CSS, so inlining it in the component makes sense to the programmer.
The view of brain oscillations driving (or even partially modulating) neural activity is further supported by research involving stimulating the brain using Alternating Currents [1] I'm currently doing my PhD on this topic, and it seems so far that targeting AC (with an entrained frequency) to various motor-related neural networks can actually enhance the motor skill and even motor learning.

Brain oscillations are quite phenomenal, and the causal role of these synchronisations still require further research.

> But you've suddenly become much more complicated and emotionally loaded than this other person who doesn't have cancer.

You mean than this other person who might be lying to hide their cancer from you.

Your bigotry has made you say that you would prefer dishonest liars to people who are honest but with a mental illness.

Don't you see how utterly fucked that attitude is? It's disgusting and you should feel ashamed.
So the gist of the article is that advanced mathematical abilities are attainable to anyone! It just takes some clerical work. This is an important point, many people still believe in the myth that a mathematician, physicist or programmer is born, not made. In reality it is both, but if you are not as naturally endowed you can still compensate for that.
We did not have a vote on PR. We had a vote on an alternative voting system.

I would not want to work for ignorant bigots, and self-identifying is a way to filter out employers who are ignorant and happy to break federal law.

The UK establishment doesn't want PR. That alone is a great reason to get it, besides many other good reasons.
KNOVVI: A Game-Changing Platform for Knowledge
Continuations are "easy" (if you have decent language support or can glom it on) but that's keeping state on the server side. The author describes continuation tokens that "never expire", which is incompatible with server-side state.

Without state, a token can be a bookmark into a predefined ordered dataset. That's more reliable than an offset, but just as inflexible, and much more expensive on the server side.

Or, I'm missing something too.
This actually looks like something that could be useful if it gets enough users. Can't wait to give it a try.
There's a big difference between a 501(c)(3) non-profit like the FSF asking for copyright assignment, and a for-profit corporation doing the same.

The latter creates an uneven playing field, and other corporations are generally loath to assign their "IP" to a competitor, which tends to prevent the mutually beneficial collaboration that is the biggest advantage of successful open source projects.

I think it would be better that the landlords were not the beneficiaries of this type of subsidy, though. I'd prefer to see them have to compete, and this doesn't attack the problem from that end.
According to this site http://www.camara.cl/camara/transparencia_diputado.aspx?prmI... senate members make 10k dollars a month, how do you get to 300k?

How to pay congress is a problem in poorer countries since too low a salary might invite corruption, and too of a good one attracts the wrong people to the job.
The whole notion of some cities being more productive is flawed. They produce more because they are more dense, but more productive per capita is a "citation needed". (Also, I'm not quite sold on productivity being the best possible measure of quality of life either).

Having more businesses realize they can be located in diverse places is better for everyone - cheaper real estate, less congestion.

More importantly, many "high tech" companies can be distributed, allowing workers to work anywhere.

Living in the most congested, expensive area, or enforcing a long commute on yourself doesn't have to be the case. In fact, it's not the case - though it seems common for folks from these areas to assume they are so perfectly great that this must be true.
"For example, one of our test production runs hit a complete standstill when we realized that the data center personnel simply could not move the racks. Since these racks were a modification of the OpenVault system, we used the same rack castors that allowed us to easily roll the racks into place. But the inclusion of 480 4 TB drives drove the weight to over 1,100 kg, effectively crushing the rubber wheels. This was the first time we'd ever deployed a rack that heavy, and it wasn't something we'd originally baked into the development plan!"

That's just fun.

In some way I'm amazed that nobody of the smart people at FB tough of the weight of this stuff. But then again, I probably made sillier mistakes myself on a much smaller scale.
Isn't the thought of someone waving around a touch-phone in the operating theatre rather terrifying? Unless they somehow sterilize them first...
As the journalist explains, the omission of qualifier words to clarify "last" makes Microsoft's message confusing.

It's the "last" in the sense that it's the "last big-tent event version of Windows that was delineated by multi-year development & release milestones." No more big-tent releases like Windows 95. The new release model may also remove the idea of waiting a year or more for a Service Pack.

Basically, it looks like Windows release cadence will be more like Adobe Creative Cloud model: continuous incremental improvements separated by months
Depends on the degree though: Medicine at UBA is a disaster, and other subjects like Accounting and Law don't have much prestige(maybe because it doesn't matter to those degrees).

UBA has its own problems with budget managing, building decay and internal governability issues. Not to mention that is not only free for Argentinians, but free for anyone, which presents extra strains on its budget.

Im all up for free college education tho, it would change the landscape in the US forever if colleges were non-profit oriented.
It's LightTable all over again.
This is a worryingly incoherent argument from someone that apparently runs a macro fund.

The suggestion that Greece creates some kind of financial asset tradeable at par with the Euro for future tax repayments is a reasonable - if not uncontroversial - proposal to help them with the immense problem of not being able to print any of the Euros they need, even when inflation is the least of their concerns.

The suggestion they do so using "blockchain technology"; a means of distributing assets so computationally expensive that transactions are possible only because it giving away free assets to people willing to lend processor hours to the "mining" is ridiculous. Especially when the article opens by pointing out they need to make a 750M Euro payment next week, and the entity that needs the revenue is a centralised monetary authority.
That's pretty much it! Although the ideas presented here do make sense (https://speakerdeck.com/vjeux/react-css-in-js) we haven't gotten there yet. Our css namespacing scheme solves the "global namespace" issue, which was the biggest issue that stood out for us.
Oh holy shit I just moved my app off of reflux and on to flummox and wow! Much better
(I'm the OP, was on my phone so ended up with a diff account.)

Functional JavaScript: Write your own negate/not function
I empathise with you talking about the "natural reading rhythym", I'm a slow reader too, but like to think I also read more carefully than those who get through the pages faster.

In response to the questions:

1. For me, this depends on the subject matter. When its a new language I'm learning, there's no alternative to writing code. Languages can be very deep, and there is often a large amount of new content for your mind to overcome. Thus there are many places you can trip up when you wouldn't have anticipated it in your head. In these cases, I write code inline with reading about it.

When its about design, or a more high level subject, for example about testability, I don't usually write much code; the lessons learnt are more abstract. The code tends to require more work in these cases too, and I'm lazy. Having said that, my day job is software engineering, and combined with my side-projects there are plenty of opportunities to try out the new concepts I learn about in such resources - usually within the order of a week. This step is, in my opinion, vital. I believe you must put the concepts into practice at some point in order to truly feel comfortable with them, and the sooner the better while they are fresh in your mind.

2. I'm a first principles guy, so don't like building up knowledge on unknown foundations. I re-read until I understand it, and then advance. This of course assumes that the structure of the resource has been carefully considered, with few forward references. When the author declares that something specific will be explained in chapter X, I'm happy to take their word for it, but in the absence of such statements it makes for uncertainty.
Thankfully, in my experience most authors I have read do take the time to add such assurances, so its possible to read in a continuous manner from start to finish.

3. In the past I have skipped the majority of these exercises. In this case psychology seems to be against us - we underestimate the unknown unknowns, so tasks seem simpler than they really are. For this reason I am actively trying to do the exercises properly these days. I tend to do the simple ones in my head, and the more complex ones in real code. The way I distinguish between simple and complex is "Can I write out the exact syntax of the solution in my head start to finish?".
"React can be pretty forgiving in refactoring later on."

Enterprise grade hardware in storage is a lie. It does not exist. Enterprise grade hard drives are hard drives with series and serial numbers programmed into the software to recognize by the "enterprise grade" software so you cannot buy the exact same drives at NewEgg for a fraction of the cost the likes of EMC are selling them to suckers while claiming there's some magic sauce in the drives.
It created some interesting propaganda[1].

Do notice

a) you paid $1000 per TB
b) you did not include the cost of support per year ( 30% or so )
c) you thought that support knows anything
d) you presumed that in event of a failure Netpp would cover you.
As Knuth himself acknowledged in "Things a Computer Scientist Rarely Talks About", it's rare among CS researchers.
Met a brain surgeon who said the hardest part of being a new surgeon is listening to your patient deteriorating before you as you perform the surgery. Especially kids.

To continue their careers they need to steel themselves from emotional attachment to the human speaking to them. Seems to be one of the hardest jobs in the medical profession. Happy to see this went so well.
Gersham's law is actually fairly valid, as well as being simple. The difference is that it isn't a statement of intent, it's a description of an inevitability.
The whole thing made me really angry to be honest. The LibDems gambled their entire future electability on the referendum, and it was so plagued by FUD that it never had a chance.
Maybe just publish a sha512 hash of the document in a newspaper classifieds section... If the goal was to have recorded evidence for posterity.

I wonder what the odds are that the current block-chains will be active in 70 years? Probably lower than the likelihood that all public tweets are recorded in the library of congress or some similar institution.

Does a 60 year old archive of a block-chain that "lived" for 15 years of any value? It could probably be "faked" with a cluster of machines and some time?

At any rate for things like a paper, we already have the ability to go and get a document notarized somewhere -- and that has much more legal precedent than some clever mathematical hack.

Would be interesting to see law firms offer "adding to and helping maintain" a block chain as a supplement to regular notary service though.

[ed: Ah, contributing to the slashdotifization of hn. I see that the article is about a company that tries to do this. I still wonder about what happens if/when "everyone" moves away from (the current) bitcoin (chain) to a new protocol. I suppose it could be "easy" to log the current state of the old chain, in a new chain. Would make verification more complicated though?].
Aeromobil (flying car prototype) had an air accident, pilot walked away
Version number is 0.2 so yes it has less features than KeepassX. There will be more features in the near future. This was just really "release early, release often"-kind of thing.
It somewhat surprises me this isn't common practice. Isn't it a good idea to do for the institutions themselves? I'd imagine access to videos of surgeries would be excellent resources for the training of new surgeons.
Without focusing on the details, I note the #1 issue here is failure to create a profitable company. Which strikes me as so common an outcome that it can't be called a unicorn.

And not getting anything after you build an unprofitable company is also very common, if not the most common outcome.
Has anyone built their app using ES5 and Flummox? The Flummox documentation is sparse to start and is completely devoid of ES5 examples.

Operating rooms have something like 10,000 times the allowed particulate matter compared to a foundry clean room.
Additionally in the theatre, there are two surfaces: clean and dirty.
Only scrubbed people are clean, and if they touch something dirty they're out.
Dirty people can't touch clean things.
However the clean people are technically only clean on their arms and between waist and neck.
So you will often have (in american theatres j have been in, but never at home in australia) dirty doctors touching clean doctors on the shoulder and having s chat with them.
havkng phones in theatre is not going to change the outcome of the procedure or make any material difference to wound healing or infection rates.

I can't believe you poms voted this down. Why wasn't it called preferential voting (like here in Australia) on the referendum?

I love preferential voting. You get to vote for a minor party or candidate while also ensuring the candidate you hate most does not benefit from you doing this. There is basically no need to vote strategically and back candidates you don't like purely because you hate them less than someone else. You just list all the candidates in your personal preference from 1 to x.
If "alive" is some set of complex chemical reactions a system is experiencing then when they stop, that system is not alive by any standard definition of the word. "dead" would be a term applied to a pile of stuff that used to be doing the "alive" thing but isn't anymore. The pile keeps the term "dead" until the pile has reshuffled much of its original mater. For some reason living things face the Ship of Theseus paradox, and dead piles don't.

(I almost think I could make a board game from the above.)
