If you mean the site-/team- administrator, that's probably right. (We have similar issues for HIPAA related reasons). Our production emergency debuggers, there aren't many, get a bit more leeway than they probably should beca

Why would you assume that? I (as the 'designer' of a couple of distributed event-sourced systems), will create a message (as an event) that ricochets around to update several SQL and non-SQL systems that are normalized or denormal

Certainly neural models do!

I don't know how you made that leap - but this is pretty spiffy! Thank you!

It's like involving the product owner in deciding whether to use a linked-list or a bucket or a hashmap for object/DS traversal (say, a list of triangles in a 3D scene). Most of the time - you just wouldn't involve them. The

The compression up, and the necessary expansion with inventing gap-filling down (inference) is one of the reasons (together with the general specification problem) that I don't think that AI is going to take over the world soon. That i

I like that - I think that's about right. Working on the business as a machine, not only to drive the machine (the CEO and his staff), but to optimize the internal architecture of, and to optimize its various inner workings and compone

So ... the problem with understanding pointers is C syntax? That sounds ... plausible.

> Pointers don't make sense if you don't know that the stack and the heap exist. Now, THAT's interesting...

Agreed. But it depends on the computer. On the old vectorized machines like the Cray Y-MP, it was always just a mental model. On even modern embedded systems w/o virtual memory, it's pretty close to being really real. (I find that

Hmmm. Interesting. I'm going to have to roll that around in my brain for a day-or-so to see if I can make that compute for me. (Which means I may be back here in a day to check back in!) Maybe it's because I started in assembly la

Have you ever come across anything that explains why pointers are hard for some people? I find it difficult to explain pointers to people because I don't understand what they are missing. I could use some help understanding their lack

THE killer app for businesses. Math types, simulator types (even the Human Genome Project did early work on the Apple ][), computer hobby-geeks and gamers (with too much extra coin) were natural markets, but all small. For business, a word-

The whole Telstra privatisation, split-up-ification, semi-not really privitization, going public with monopolist rights thing was a little weird to watch from over here. But, hey! At least some "very important people" made a lot o

Well, the United States Constitution obligates the government to do a fair number of things. Providing IT infrastructure for people wanting to self-host family photo albums is not one of those things. There is a mechanism for amending the c

Or maybe, ask those consumers to pay $200/month for the Internet that they use, instead of stealing other people's money?

Yes. For example, the ratings (stars) and reviews are separate "widgets" in the product page. Search, of course. - https://thenewstack.io/led-amazon-microservices-architecture/

1) Android was an example. There are many components in a phone. 2) Much of the margin/profit comes from sales in international markets. For example, the EU. Where WTO-wise, copyright and patent rights still hold.

Even if Huawei handsets in Europe are not a threat to national security, most consumers would expect them to be able to run Android, which Google can no longer sell them...

Do you have a CRM that you prefer? Back in the day when SFDC took off like wildfire, the choices were essentially Oracle and Siebel (who came from Oracle, just like Benioff did later). Unlike the top-down Enterprise sales approaches of Orac

Fair enough. I was responding to your response to GP (which claimed it did so claim before the bait&switch). I have no dog in this hunt - just tracking grammar and claims. Probably makes me a Nazi.

I was joking, but there is little in terms of life- /commerce- /click-flow (outside of maybe Europe, and maybe healthcare in the US) that prevents me from surveilling you any way I can. If I have a popular health app, I can survei

As a USian, when I lived in Japan (working in semiconductor) from the mid-80s to the mid 90s, people always seemed to make this copying claim. My response was- 1) Copying an ISA is not copying architecture 2) JP was innovating in manufactur

Some SLC companies did pull this off well. I'm working with some Russians now that have teams that replicate US services for Russia, China, India and Brazil, simply with the idea of flipping them post-launch and pre-growth. They are
