Aha, that's just an interface for interrogating objects in the traditional QSYS.LIB filesystem. Thanks for that clarification. Though, that does seem to imply that running a CREATE TABLE in STRSQL actually creates a physical file in a

It isn't actually Db2. They call it "Db2 for i," but it's a completely different codebase from what you'll find on z/OS and elsewhere. That said, the object-relational database goes down pretty deep in the sys

Aha! Yeah, I can agree with that. I think the thing that people on HN don't think about or make explicit in this kind of argumentation is that there are certain amenities that folks prefer to have nearby, and they kind of miss the neig

This is part of what I'm not following. The implication you've stated, which is itself a more informal restatement of what originally started this thread, hinges on whether the conclusion "we don't have enough high densi

As I remarked earlier, I still feel that the analysis undertaken here is too simple and doesn't take into account, e.g., artificial constraints on supply that create perversions in consumer choice and demand.

Forgive me. I'm unsure what this has to do with the fact that you, your wife, and n kids makes n+2 people. Is that not population growth?

I feel like there's some disagreement somewhere that's preventing reconciliation of what's going on here. Does density imply micro-apartments? What's a micro-apartment? What's considered dense development? Are we lo

What's the economic model you're applying?

I'm not sure I follow. Could you perhaps explain?

The challenge is allowing communities to grow. You have or want kids, which means that, without imparting a value judgment, you've contributed to some increase in the population. Likewise, your neighbors surely have had kids of their o

Is this true? This fact isn't obvious to me.

Forgive me for asking, but how exactly do you plan to do that?

I have the odd feeling that this kind of overestimation comes from the experience that folks tend to have in writing more traditional N-tier applications, especially post-Rails. A certain kind of database-first, ORM-first design philosophy

Forgive me, but I think you misread my grandparent comment's intended meaning. The assertion was that TCP/IP was standardized in 1983, and this is, in fact, technically correct. The unwritten subtext was that TCP/IP was stand

The irony in this is that the Citizens United ruling, at least in the US, affirmed that spending money is speech. It's actually one of the reasons why I'm an ardent supporter of postal banking. Since the USPS is an arm of the fede

Do you know this to be fact, or is this speculation? I'd like to read more about it if you have resources to contribute.

I'd like to read more about this. Do you have additional resources that you can link to?

School children in the US are often required to recite the Pledge of Allegiance[0] as part of the routine to start the school day. Rise, put your right hand over your heart, and repeat after the person on the public announcement system. His

Likewise, apropos storage systems that handle logical volume management, Linux's LVM tools are extremely reminiscent of those from HP-UX[0], and NetBSD's LVM guide explicitly calls out their tooling being built from Linux's l

Mathematicians are human just the same and are wont to get their hands on shiny toys too from time to time. There's some value in seeking out novelty. Apropos deep nets, with the explosion in machine learning in the past few years, I&#

It's complicated. The port of X11 that the article talks about is the one that's on the old Bell Labs web site[0], and it never really worked all that well for me. Linuxemu is something of a research project, and I don't reca

Zig's build system has a first-class notion of packages that satisfies exactly this requirement. The Ziglearn documentation[0] has more details. To make things a little more interesting though, Zig's shape in this regard should be

Sure, and the application of access control devices generally requires a degree of discretion and understanding what your threat model is. If you don't fear your front door will be clandestinely accessed, I feel it's perfectly val

There is, but note that I write from a particularly rural perspective here, so it might not jive well with the more suburban sensibilities I've read from your comment. Your mileage may vary. That said, you can look into growing grasses

The lock doesn't even need to be that good. As you said, the name of the game is intrusion detection, not necessarily intrusion avoidance. The Lock Picking Lawyer chronicled very nicely a technique for turning a KW1-keyed Kwikset core

Google's marketing around Wave was extremely disappointing to me. The invitation system was only a small part of their problem. I know I was incredibly excited about it because I immediately understood it to be a way to kill email and

I don't think so. Go looks to be focusing mostly on systems-level problems and the kinds of applications that orbit that concern. Java, on the other hand--at least when you control for the confusion around whether "Java" refe
