I'm on mobile and not a physicist but the key is the observer. Photons don't observe anything. We observe them since we observe time and they do have energy changes that we observe (I believe this is how colors and red shift wor

In the same boat. I tried Druid as well which was almost a better solution but lacked the flexibility and maturity. We are using Postgres + citus + some HLL. Our success is probably because we just have a lot more experience with Postgres.

I have seen several modes like nxml that are fairly slow. Perhaps it is the implementation of those modes but editing XML in Eclipse is faster particularly far large files (and eclipse is a pig). I'm fairly certain folks always would p

I agree SQL is not perfect but I don't know of many examples of alternative languages (that are not completely proprietary). It honestly would be helpful to see some alternatives that you think are actually good (as the ones I have see

I was told that part of the problem on a new glass bottle of ketchup is the surface tension at the top. So if you break the top layer with a knife or whatever the ketchup will suddenly start coming out. However I never looked up if it was t

I mostly agree with you the exception of SQL. I actually think SQL is a fairly good language for what it does and the alternatives have been fairly crappy (at the minimum it should not be lumped in with Javascript). If there is a Rust of SQ

If I recall it wasn't that I didn't understand the concepts but rather difficulty in debugging. At the time I was ignorant and ill experienced of proper tooling. Today when dealing with C I would probably not even bother with usin

I wonder if part of the problem is democracy is rather ill defined. I'm sure you have seen the classic case where some one says the United States is not a democracy but a republic... usually its a troll comment. Regardless I think ther

In college (over 10 years ago) I used to think C was very viable. Sure it took longer to develop but the reward was fast execution and generally KISS like code (just an anecdotal observation I have of C is the tedium to write complex things

Touche. Yes I perhaps should have said sugar alcohols such as glycerine. I'm not sure why I said " and " probably because I think of glycerine is not as sweet I was thinking of maltitol. For example calling glycerine a suga

The only way would be to test as glycemic index (but especially glycemic response) varies wildly based on what is packed along with the ride (in some ironic cases fats and proteins raise glycemic response and in others lowers it). Also in p

Although distributed programming is different than concurrency (albeit one I suppose could argue) I was hoping for some mentioning of Join Calculus. Particularly Polyphonic C# [1] (given Duffy's MS background). I have been meaning to r

On Joe Duffy's profile there is what I thought to be a hexadecimal: 284d69f1cb I tried converting it to ascii and decimal and nothing interesting came out. Anyone know what that is? Maybe a key signature?

Yes this was covered in previous HN threads [1] and articles [2]. There was even a couple scifi writers that have even pushed cuteness + evolution + domestication idea. Richard Morgan's Thirteen is one example (I don't recommend

I would like to share some thoughts on this based on experience of being a crusty old enterprise developer. The dashboard problem keeps coming back. I think the time might be finally coming for some dashboard framework to actually succeed.

Actually it is sort of the opposite.... They needed better OLTP to deal with synchronizing billing ... and they wanted schema flexibility. Document/Column stores are traditionally not ideal for this because A+P (CAP theorm) are preferr

I find it ironic that one of Uber's original impetus for migrating off Postgres (which I still have serious doubts about) was not being able to "trust" the system [1]. Given my limited failed experience with playing with do

I am probably completely wrong but it seem easier and perhaps more fruitful to build the proper shielding in a station/ship and build a network up in one of the asteroid belts.

I agree. One of my favorite cuts is the Santa Maria Tri Tip and even when it is cut correctly (which does require a sharp knife) it is still not as tender as most loin cuts but the taste is unique.
