Like "redneck" and "hick" and "white trash"? That's the other thing I think people are reacting to. There's a double standard where it's okay to slur rural white Americans but nobody else. IMHO i

"He's not politically correct." I think this is important. Among the many problems with PC is this: When you exclude an idea from discussion, you don't eliminate that idea. You drive it underground into an echo chamber w

The real question I guess you are asking is whether the deep state has its own entirely separate objectives or even philosophical tenets and if so what are these.

There is far more money involved, and unlike CFCs there are no easy plug and play substitutes. Nuclear power is not a panacea. It looks good on paper but in practice there are tons of hidden costs and failures can be catastrophic. It also p

So writing C "so you don't have to" write assembler is an anti-pattern? I think the real anti-pattern that leads to ORMs is the fact that languages have no way of natively dealing relationally with data. This is the real or

I'm a tab heretic for this reason -- every user can adjust their editor to show tabs with whatever width they like.

Given the CAP theorem I wonder what trade-offs they make and how much visibility they give you into these trade-offs. In any case this is much better than Amazon's offerings... when they actually ship it. :)

Can you give me a link? Searching for how to deploy it turns up dozens of guides of varying age that refer to different projects of different levels of maturity.

From my experience with both PostgreSQL and RethinkDB (and other NoSQL stores): For SQL, complex queries, and data warehousing: yes. It's an excellent database and I'm not sure why you'd pick another SQL DB unless it were a l

They were. That's not the problem. The problem is tools -- plural. Users think "I have Linux, where do I get the Linux version?" You have to provide arcane instructions for how to add a package repository on Every. Single. Li

If/when they do this, I'm gone from OSX. This can fly on mobile because ultimately mobile devices are just dumb terms for accessing the cloud. I don't think it'll fly on real computers, especially for the pro market and

If you want to complain about something, complain about the completely pointless fragmentation of the Linux ecosystem that pretty much mandates "curl|bash" to ship software for "Linux."

You already have a TCP connection, so NAT and firewalls don't matter here. Proxies have to be web socket aware anyway.

That would be in the headers and prior to protocol breakout. I'm talking about after that. Why does web sockets have an extra layer of framing and other nonsense? Not to mention other "modes of operation." It's a socket.

Will they pay their writers or is this a magazine staffed by crowdsourced unpaid interns?

Speaking of web sockets and simplicity: I never understood why web sockets aren't just a straight break out of HTTP(S) to a naked TCP or SSL socket. Why all the extra complexity? All it does is degrade performance and bloat software. I

All government agencies push that narrative. It's never their fault. They just need more power and a bigger budget. There's only two fields that I can think of where failing gets you a promotion: government and banking. The latt

Our society is something between Huxleyan and Kafkaesque. Ironic since most civil libertarians are mentally stuck on fearing Orwellian models.

If you want a managed solution RedShift supports PGSQL syntax and connectors now I think. That's a fully managed turn-key DB, but of course it locks you into AWS.

What I didn't see mentioned here is clustering. One of the things that sold us on RethinkDB was how easy it was to cluster compared to PostgreSQL. The latter has poor documentation and it's very hard to know you've done thing

I highly recommend finding a bunch of Leary's out of print material. A lot of it's been scanned and uploaded to various places. It's both fascinating and culturally very significant, not to mention stylized and weird to the p

That network topology is actually quite logical and doesn't say much about politics. P2P connectivity almost always requires a third party to do a three-way handshake. In IPv4 this is because of NAT, and in IPv6 it's usually still
