I find it odd that the article manages to completely ignore/miss the effect of welfare and the change in incentives it may result in. Also, it appears that statistically, single mothers are much more likely to vote Left than Right. In

My parents used to own a textile factory that employed at one point over 100 people. The business stopped being competitive and eventually was closed down with production moving to places like Eastern Europe, India and China. So I think a l

I can't think of a single industry that has been able to completely decouple production from labor. Even something as simple as subway ticketing machines or vending machines require technicians to deploy and maintain them. Sure, most p

That is not what I said. I merely mentioned that one of the possible alternatives was Communism. I do not know any alternatives that have worked and instead of pointing out a non existing fallacy, I would expect someone to actually point to

There is no such thing as free production because resources are not unlimited.

95% of people used to work in agriculture and now less than 5% do in most modern countries and also, as a result, there is a lot more food to go around. Automation has been around for a while now. It's not a new problem and hasn't

Semantics improves expressiveness which provides conciseness, which leads to less code. Less code is generally less bugs (sure...arguable). But definitely expressiveness is also often correlated to programmer happiness, which is important i

I think you presume to know too much about the habits of these MBP users. Even if you spend 90% of your time at the same desk, you have meetings at customers', you travel, you work on the weekend or at night and no one wants to have 2

Even if only the developers can use a DSL, that doesn't not mean DSLs don't have a place as a solution and that a generic programming language is always preferable. In complex enough domains DSLs can be key to tackle that complexi

Sure. But open source business models are not trivial to succeed or scale. RethinkDB is shutting down and MySQL ended up in Oracle's hands. Postgres is a bit unique, but still lacks good and friendly developer and management tools and

Because very often it's not up to the developer/architect to pick the technology to work with. Also what seems expensive to you, very often is not so for the customer.

We run only application logic, proxies or cache servers (Redis/Memcached) in containers. Nothing with storage requirements.

So, a bit like Windows Registry? Because that didn't turn out to be such a good idea.

Agree, but you can't really prove someone was affected by an echo chamber, can you? I mean, it only really matters if you can sue someone for damages of some sort, right?

I think the article is drawing conclusions that may not really be the aim of the regulation. Fail to see how one could claim that the decision to show a particular Facebook Ad (or almost any Ad) would "significantly affect" the pe

That's right, since it is based on the global load balancing tech, you get a single IP for all edge locations which means you can use your own custom SSL (without the need for SNI) at no extra cost (which would cost you $500/month

A number of scenarios that require UUIDs as keys, involve generation client side where such guarantees may not be available. In my view, UUIDs should not be used unless there is a strong reason for it (such as making keys not guessable). Mo

by mvitorino 11y ago
A lot of times when a UUID is used, it's not generated in the db, such as when you need to generate guaranteed unique IDs client side. Also 4 bytes vs 16 is not "equally well" in terms of performance. Note that the the diagra

Not the case with MS SQL Server for example (and there are probably several others). Physical row ordering (at least up to 2008 edition as far as I can recall) coincides with clustered index.

The problem is that most uuids are generated in a way that, when sorted alphabetically as strings, would have a random order. Example: t0: 7458e3a9-716b-4352-b2e4-b5b67d0c089b t1: 4d8d753c-1777-439d-8725-b093b1bd8430 Using this as a PK in a

I do have plenty of production experience with GAE and is very different from yours. But our experience is from 2014. Since that period we were only affected by a single outage, on the 6th of Dec 2015 related to Google authentication agains
