The jobless percentage of population would shoot up by double digit basis points if not for bullshit jobs that just move money around.

IT Companies, especially ones that outsource have had it coming for years. I am an Indian (though I only worked for a year in IT before leaving for actual work), and let me tell you, we Indian IT developers are a complex bunch. 3 out of 100

Investment in trains can go hand in hand with this. Both have their own pros and cons. But, when evaluating the setup of a public transport system, this could be one more option.

For small apps, which are most apps, a distributed, managed, partitioned postgresql cluster is sufficient. Heck, even a single one on a good machine is sufficient. It has a colorful mix of SQL and NoSQL constructs, interacted on SQL queries

A word of caution. The default limit for number of tables per AWS account, for DynamoDB is 2500. Tables are a scarce resource and you want to use single table designs for each app. The design of tables with DDB is fascinating. Once you unde

So, I have a few questions. 1. Can the telescope be pointed in any direction? (of course, orthogonal to the suns rays, I understand the need to cool it down). 2. If it can be pointed, I am assuming some boosters would be used to pivot it. H

The drastic move to organic farming is puzzling. Any level headed person , forget a politician , would want to experiment first, see the results, gauge and then expand selectively. That is common sense . I guess when you are a dictator

The function is as per spec. But not the Bill of Materials, upon which the price is ultimately decided. What I mean to say is that a customer who chooses a spec that does not include heated seats, is supplied and charged for hardware that i

True, until every manufacturer does it (like with headphone jacks on mobiles). In this case though, only laws and regulation can protect consumers from crass corporate greed.

If the option can be enabled in the future, doesn't that mean the car is having the hardware in the seats? (Heating coils, or what have you). Then, wouldn't that mean the customer is already paying for the hardware (cost of the

With the right configuration, you can use it as either of them. Only thing is that data compression / formatting / structuring and corresponding indexing config must be good. A simple table with a PK and a document column is enoug

I always live in the fear of accidentally destroying data or tables with SQL. Not a rational fear, just an irrational one. A primitive fear of the unknown. But, to be fair, I have had to work with some of the worst SQL constructs and stored
501.
by kumarvvr 4y ago
I agree with all your points, except for SQL. Getting lost in SQL is easy, due to its syntax and lack of standards. Compare that to any of the mainstream programming languages, the difference in cognitive load to process is stark.

Totally agree. But give every Japanese a weapon. And then wait a few decades. Can you guarantee me that the culture will hold back gun violence?

Sorry, but why would a complete ban on citizens owning guns, unless for very special cases not severely curb gun violence?

This argument that "look at the gun controlled state" after a shooting is such a dumb one to make. How many mass shootings happen in Japan? How many kids are killed in Japanese schools because someone barged in with a military gra

Curious, can this be used in reverse, to keep sand cool and use it to cool down houses? Would bring down a lot of AC usage in tropical countries.
