You unfortunately cannot "just use csv" if you're dealing with modern tabular data. (non-ascii) Here is an example of basic BOM ignoring and delimiter insanity demonstrated by SAP: https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wik

I would argue that its already not working. I remember a time when everybody I knew went to google for communications services. After a few years of domination Google started competing with itself and suddenly those of us who were willing t

As long as the constituency is ultimately unwilling to hold anybody responsible after the fact... it may suck, but its still a winning strategy. The crux of the problem is that the majority of the voting public has been conditioned to treat

Beaker is a cool idea. We were trying to use it instead of jupyter but it ended up being too buggy. Its been a few months, has it gotten better?

Plus, its fairly well set up for "scabs" to make anything unionized ineffective. Uber will just respond: "no thanks" to any union strikes. Without the union colluding with the city or state governments to monopolize or c

Yeah, thats what the title said to me too. Not the case for me since I don't use any of those windows tools from Asus. (run linux instead on all of them)

But XMPP is a standard protocol... not a client or library. Should we all abandon HTTP because IE6 sucked? Thats the logical equivalent to the argument.

Didn't they already do this long ago? I thought it was a few years ago that they made me install messenger to use messages. That thing was a little too... cowboy... with all those bubbles splattering all over my screen. I uninstalled F

Why is everybody fighting so hard to use iMessage? I just tell people I can't use it since Apple doesn't provide a solution for everybody. I thought that was the normal response. Why are people losing sleep over this?

by mkhpalm 10y ago
For a short period, most of those old proprietary clients started supporting XMPP. That was the golden age of instant messaging. I couldn't help but notice that somewhere around that time is also when Apple released iMessage and FaceTi

Its almost 1/3rd last I checked. But thats not everything you pay a difference on when you build something. The high cost of living and many other things in the bay area factor into everything.

I think its wise to have a healthy housekeeping policy if you're going to use lvm snapshots. Any point in time copy on write snapshot is going to cause performance degradation. However, it really depends on the volume and you can'

I wonder what the cost is to maintain uber legacy systems like that? Like at what point does it teeter over to being the most expensive thing like it? (while remaining less capable)

by mkhpalm 10y ago
True, but you can/could easily do that with LVM snapshots and merges too. We snapshot the databases (copy on write) which is instant, then if we want to roll it back we lvm merge and remount. Everything is pretty instant and it doesn&#

Its interesting how much hatred there is for visual basic these days. I understand, its the bane of my existence right now replacing thousands of things written with it. But I never stop being amazed at how successful it was. People who had

Honestly, just take off if its bothering you. Anybody who has options is going to leave situations like that. I worked at a place where the management tried to implement something similar. All of the main engineers left within about 2 month

To me this sounds like the typical "teachers and firefighters" government PR tactic. The best response is an equally ridiculous knee-jerk public reaction. We need to call to defund the FBI by 1 million dollars to settle the accoun

Check out a 2016 Honda Accord Touring that anybody can pick up for 31k. (or the civic for even cheaper with lane assist and all that) Honda seems to recognize there is a pretty major threat out there... but even they are behind. All I'
