My parents are in just now in the process of retiring. They have an apartment in NYC and a house in an expensive suburb in Boston. One of the reasons why they are going to have to stay in NYC before moving for some time is to continue to ma

Slightly off topic but I'm just going to throw it out there. If you are cooking with charcoal I highly recommend a Kamado style grill aka big green egg (BGE). Once you get one of those you will never go back. It is extremely efficient

I do that as well. The other thing is I have cast iron grates which seem to not need as much cleaning as other grates.

It depends on how you partition. If you partition with no extra columns which is the typical case for partitioning by time you can use triggers and insert on the base table. The postgresql doc covers this. However if you add columns to your

One of the tricks I have found for Postgres to manage analytics and unstructured data is using its inheritance with check constraints aka partitioning features. I mention it because not many people seem to know about this bad ass feature of

I was going to say impossible as the teacher even said that but I think for small numbers it is possible IIRC. There was some joke I think by Kenneth that the only fair voted government is a dictatorship.

Fair voting is almost exactly analogous (I think it is even the same math). I had a fantastic math teacher in high school who showed how it is fairly difficult to make any voting scheme fair.

I very rarely see technology choice decisions based on performance. It probably should happen more often then it does. If anything most choices are based on popularity. Benchmarks are not the best way to advertise languages but regardless E

How embarrassing! I must have coalesced that last paragraph with the advertisement and missed it.

Not to sound to heartless but I wonder if the animals will be taken for meat, buried, or nothing done at all (ie left for nature). What normally happens in these situations?

I think one of the obvious reasons to buy an existing pop song today instead of using a jingle is that is contextual proven. Updating a jingle is probably a far greater risk. I think some recent artist have been accused of purposely writing

I have to agree. The other thing the article fails to mention is how China has invested heavily in other resource production like rare earth metals which are needed for robots and just about all modern things. They could price gouge us at a

Well one of the confusions I think early on (or at least professed confusion on Lambda the Ultimate IIRC) is that Scala is mixed paradigm and that adds additional load for learning. Some feel it should go full FP (what I mean by that is rea

I wish Docker had some more open source competitors particularly some non-profit competitors. Yes I know Docker is open source but I have this terribly gut feeling about becoming too reliant on their technology. I feel like I'm going t

I will for sure check it out but I have found the opposite to be true (well not the opposite but a different problem). With pull I loose invaluable data because either the pulling system is down or it just doesn't know about all the no

It is more than TSDB because it has dimensions. Most metric systems (aka Graphite) are just: <time> <name> <number> <maybe unit>. It is sort of nice to have dimensions for rollup/filtering instead of doing weird

One thing I don't really like about Prometheus is it seems to prefer the pull aka scraping model over the push model. I think the push model is better in terms of security and discovery (which is how I think most of the other metric ag

I have wondered if there could be a CoffeeScript or TypeScript of Bash. Basically a transpiler to Bash that is safer and more convenient to write in. Then you just ship the bash script with no dependencies. The transpiler might even be smar

I think his point was instead of using the JVM runtime to now use the Go lang runtime. Of course you would need the interpreter for each platform like Python does but Go has a unique runtime. I'm not sure how dynamic it is but you can

Yes I think I realize your point. But original it came across though like: "oh your script can just be rewritten in Go and while we are at it Groovy should be rewritten in Go". But yeah I would be interested in platform agnostic s

On the one hand I agree with OP on directly interacting with JSON is not really a good idea but on the other hand I completely disagree with that behavior should be shoved into data objects. Also I think part of the problem is Python doesn&

You can also use shelve in mercurial. I have never needed to use it on git though because of staging/cheap branches.

Vaguely remember seeing that extension. I did not know it ships with Hg now! Awesome! More reasons to stick with hg longer for my company :)

by agentgt 10y ago
I too admit that I'm a huge Hg fan (will not switch the company code to git) but I also admit history rewriting is a damn worthy feature. At the very minimum I think we can agree that safe rebasing is better than a plethora of merges t

I'm not sure I like implicits as for HKT... "with great power comes...". HKTs are great for a generic library writer (aka standard library) but I think the over abstract nature ends up confusing your average developer. You ba

If only the JVM didn't have slow startup speed I would almost exclusively write Groovy scripts. There is just something so awesome about shoving your dependencies right in the script and not worrying about pip, easyinstall, system libr
