That's interesting, I could see how even a vague possibility of that sort of response could be a deterrent.

I’m not sure we’d have these new NATO members if American reliability were actually so bad.

Right but OP said it’s “effectively impossible to invade a country that has nuclear weapons” and I’m curious how that is relevant to non nuclear NATO members like Germany. I don’t see how it helps Germany (or Finland, Poland etc etc) that F

>Sweden's ports are beneficial in a potential Arctic conflict How? Norway (long a member) has Arctic ports, Sweden does not touch the Arctic.

Do you think UK or France would use nuclear weapons in response to a non-nuclear Russian attack on other NATO members (e.g. Germany)? Are they obligated to do so?

No, neither the article nor the post I originally replied to specify anything more specific than “database”. Database != RDBMS. A data warehouse is a type of database and is does need to be managed. Your assertion that it is easier to manag

This isn’t UBS saying this, it’s their “chief economist,” and you have to keep in mind that title inflation is rampant in banking (they are famous for handing out VP titles, director titles etc). The tell that this is not a core executive i

To me this is semantics. So it’s a data warehouse rather than a database. Ok. Or we share data from a common source via “services” - ok but that’s another word for a database and a client (using http to do the talking doesn’t really change

You wouldn’t but in any decent sized organization you will have to. If it is an organization that needs to exist there will be some common set of critical data.

Management problem masquerading as a tech problem. Being shared between applications is literally what databases were invented to do. That’s why you learn a special dsl to query and update them instead of just doing it in the same language

I'm confused as to why Baker is not running things while a permanent CEO is found. Chambers is stepping in temporarily, and Fortune offers some details: "Chambers says she won’t be seeking a permanent CEO role because she plans to

Ya, Calhoun has been there four years already, so he's had plenty of time. Also, he decided to continue outsourcing to Spirit despite Spirit's known issues. Everything in your post indicates he's not inclined to make fundamen

What’s your minimum timeframe? If someone is vegan for a year then eats meat the next, do we retroactively revoke their year 1 veganism? If I am vegan for January and then in February eat meat, am I retroactively not a vegan for January? It

I’m sorry this happened to your daughter and you! As someone with two kids, can I ask, does health insurance not work in this situation? I ask partly because at the moment we own no cars. If health insurance doesn’t cover it I’m wondering h

It's true that giving a little potted history like this is "good" (other than he should have made a nice informative first line for summaries) BUT it's not super useful to say this is good, the hard part is knowing WHEN

This is a great talk on exactly this topic from a Clojure conference, if you want a long answer. It focuses on the “functional” feature of Clojure but all of it applies to the whole language (and probably any good lisp) IMO. https:/&#

Actually!, having two subtly different click-on selectors was never a good idea. There should be no “radio buttons” only checkboxes and then use select menus for exclusive selection. Physical push-in radio buttons have not been in new cars

To be clear the literal text on the slide is “aimed to counter Microsoft’s .NET framework.” He said something similar verbally. Slightly earlier he did discuss the general alliance against Microsoft. I thought it was funny he didn’t mention

I personally never understood why Clojure stack traces alienate people. I worked on python, ruby, Javascript and Perl before Clojure and I seem to recall they had stack traces too. Am I misremembering? The Clojure stack traces are certainly

I’m sure this is fascinating but sometimes I wish people would put the bottom line at the top of super long posts like this. It would be nice to transmit knowledge even to people who don’t have time to follow along on your multi thousand wo

That doesn’t make you an expert on manufacturing. How long have you been in the field? How are you not aware of what engineers in and around Boeing have been saying about company culture for literally decades? How many Stonecipher stories h

This is a pretty arrogant reply. Whatever “field” you refer to, the problems at Boeing cut across disciplines and appear to go to systemic management problems. It’s not just issues engineering new systems. There have been well documented is
