   What I like that you're doing and what I used to do with Python annotations is that you strongly define types for your higher level business logic - which may be encode quite complex formats. In many ways, your point is correct and kin

   Supporting Musk just to view tweets (or whatever they are called) is a big moral compromise imho. I get that if you are a news or social media source you need the views so it's work with him or lose money but that's not the case f

   Doubling your money over 15 years is a pretty low ROI. Even conservative investments are expected to double every decade.

    Sort of. You want minted bullion. Usually they're capital gains free too. Nonetheless I don't think gold is a great investment for preppers or for just normal investing. There are also some very serious environmental/huma

    I always bring up Somalia. The government crumbled and they continued to use local paper currency even after the printing presses were destroyed and there was nothing backing it. In the actual global collapse scenario, physical cash is li

    I recount this story alot - especially about the vestigial parts in the mark 1 clock and also about how the clockmaker reduced the size of the clock in the mark 3 to a large pocketwatch size in order to increase accuracy (finer parts).

    One's a major regional metropolis built on top of trade and the other is a rural area built on top of coal mining. You would need to add 2 more locations to make it closer to a social science examination, perhaps New Orleans and the P

    They mean doing the processing that Splunk does is expensive so there simply needs to be less data going into the system (via the pre-processing steps I mentioned) above in order to keep costs sane. With that said Splunk should offer such a

    I remember I was eating very healthfully for a while and then when heading to my job I absolutely needed food quickly and went to McDonalds. I felt pretty crappy a few hours later. The lesson ironically was that I should be eating more mc

    Sampling via just enabling it for some hosts/partitions is one solution (if you're producing 100M entries a day ... probably could just grab 1/100 of those for parsing). Another solution is pre-processing (serial dupes are no

    Could one look at the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks through a similar lens as you do with the Georgists vs the 1910s Progressives? The Mensheviks being more bottom-up (and willing to go slower if needed) and the Bolsheviks being top-down (

    Grape Nuts are actually pretty low on the nutrition scale (don't read the ingredients/nutrition box if you don't want to be depressed). Upgrade to Ezekiel 4:9 which is similar in concept but 100x more healthful.

    My understanding is that most of these zero-days are runtime so the above wouldn't help at all. The most recent one took advantage of Apple Wallet taking first dibs on a (virus) image and loading in the payload. Changing data structu
