   It not being the latest version if React is hardly a major issue. You miss out on some of the latest optimizations, but the API hasn't changed.

   Spotify's shuffling is most certainly not random. Every once in a while I get a bug where it simply shuffles through various songs from 4-5 albums and will never pick songs outside that set. Restarting the app corrects the behaviour.

   This looks great. We're working on something at Tracker Network[1] that you may find interesting, but it's still pretty early. Have you got an email I can reach you at? [1] https://tracker.network

   This is hard, but perhaps even harder than you might think. I read an extremely long exploration of this concept a couple weeks ago. It's a layman explanation but it really does a great job of outlining the real complications of such a

   I'm not an expert with either system, but I think the answer is pretty clear: that's not at all an efficient solution. Spark's approach is: do the data however you want, then use a ridiculous amount of resources getting that

    It's one shard per node though, right? So you're talking about SERIOUS cost when you want to store _actual_ big data.

    We store 100-1000 GB of data in each wide table on our untrendy on-prem SQL server boxes. 10GB is peanuts. In fact, I propose (given the limitations suggested by the author) that DynamoDB may have NO practical uses worth exploring. If NoSQL

    pgwire compatibility is a huge benefit to us. Not all of us want to use this year's hottest language, so it's nice when we can use an existing library and immediately get to work. I would strongly recommend anyone who is making a

    I'd be wary about investing too much time into something like this. Microsoft is making a massive push with .NET Core and its availability on both Mac OS and Linux. Coupled with the expansion of the .NET Standard to encompass more of t

    Machine learning is incredibly bad at this kind of stuff. There are far too many false positives and special cases to leave to ML. And the stakes are fairly high for Facebook: if they block content that shouldn't be blocked, it's

    All of those are important questions, but I think it's also important to prefix "gender wage gap" with the words "adjusted" or "unadjusted" in order to identify which problem you're talking about. All

    I'm thankful that the wikipedia entry makes a point of separating the two definitions. While I generally nod along with the sentiment provided by top level comment, it's important to understand that there are different definitio
