tons of Product Managers need to justify their salary every year, so they come up with new ways to add more crap into already bloated Windows

Although Rails is very reasonable with its mappings and they are easy to use directly, I prefer Rails for db manipulaton, it is usually much easier and faster to type 'User.find(1).favorites << Product.find(10)' than an equi

Then how is it better than simply using another webhead? In any case, we need to do heavy calculations AND transactionally update some state. It's possible to do this on slaves I guess with some trickery, but then what's the advan

Wow, is this really the norm? I mean, not knowing SQL and working purely with ORM. This seems weird to me, as I learned SQL first.

by kofejnik 10y ago
I don't quite agree it's the tools only, my bigger gripe was total lack of scalability. Basically, even for moderately complex calculations, you can cache a lot of slow-moving stuff (such as products, categories, etc) to redis and

I had to work on/with a rather large backend which used this approach. Most of the logic was in stored procedures, with python/sqlalchemy used as a glue and to process requests. It was absolutely horrible to develop and a nightmar

I discovered that wearing headphones (even earbuds) for hours is pretty tiresome, so I strongly prefer using my macbook's built-in mic and external speakers. Obviously, this wouldn't work in a coffeeshop situation, but it's n

This does not apply to Russia, countless other sites allow payment in USD/EUR, so it looks like management decision

no way they'd allow someone profit off their users like that without getting a huge cut for themselves

I'd rather prefer them to first stop skimming 50% on foreign exchange. Just today saw this screenshot in my fb feed, someone's reservation cost was converted at 100 rur/eur, whereas market rate is around 70 now. And they forc

No, because without repeatability and predictability, an academic is usually just a charlatan
526.
by kofejnik 10y ago
The difference is, when real scientists say they know, they will tell you p-values and usually they can reliably predict things. And when they don't know something, they usually say so. Contrast that with loud aggressive types who will

So now we have a privileged caste of self-appointed social 'scientists' who get to decide what constitutes racism and who gets their life ruined. this is gold, seriously

Just as I was preparing to answer your comment about physicists, you edited it. But wow, is this really your argument - "disprove the results or they are considered valid"? Ever heard of Russel's teapot? Using the method is n

astrologists and homeopaths would say that, as well

so your only argument is ad hominem, pure and simple

There's little evidence social "scientists" are really scientists

Strawman, as USA has the highest murder rate of all first-world nations. Counterexample - Switzerland. "The Small Arms Survey of 2007 placed Swiss gun ownership per capita at between 30% and 60%", but with a much lower murder rate

Devils advocate asks: so maybe it's diversity that causes higher murder rate, not guns? Switzerland has very low crime afair

The difference wrt kids is that you have an option to refuse care in the long run, eg by giving up kids for adoption. In the violinist example, if lets say a suitable volunteer is available but needs time to come to the hospital, then yes,

imho the problem with insurance is that it only serves to take money out of medical care, while inflating the costs. It makes sense to insure against terrible driving or burning your house, but taking insurance against something very likely
