This is an amazing explanation, thank you for sharing this.

From my armchair here I thought something similar, I think I heard 1) that inserting into the same table has some speed limitations and 2) one of the authors ideas was to spin up 4 processes… I wonder if you could insert into 10 different t

Am I alone in thinking pricing seems too high at $60/year per user for any reasonably large organization?

The rationale that the uncontrollable feelings convey more consciousness doesn’t follow for me either. Our own ability to reason about the state of our being, threats to our safety and a command over what we do seems reasonable that humans

Of all the things to fix with Teams, Electron isn’t it. Our company forced us to switch from Slack to Teams. We have it the benefit of the doubt but are regretting it every day. Collaboration is down vs Slack and we’re all less happy. Sound

Sorry but Lemonade’s ‘fixed margin’ is BS. I’m not aware of any other insurance company that benefits from a fixed margin or spins what is otherwise OIE as profit. Most other carriers in the US pay for distribution, e.g. agents selling thei

This is actually terrible advice based on naive assumptions. Insurance has a cost of capital and cost of operations just like any other business. You are not getting ripped off. Even the very best mutual companies charge basically the same

I sort of wonder if they are going in the opposite direction. iOS on Mac seems like where they headed.

The article reads a little alarmist honestly. They have created a low bandwidth mesh network for mostly IOT devices. I don’t get how this is suddenly compared with sharing internet. The later of which, Comcast actually did and does.

That’s what most want when they think of signing a document. There’s all sorts of technical stuff relative to PDF Signing (cryptographic) and why it matters but most people that want signed documents want to be able to say the user was pres

I’m not deep in this space but was thinking something along the lines of your response. If I understand it right, advertisers will lose efficiency here but I’m skeptical that it’ll cost ad networks much because advertisers will still need t

What is the design target for this service? Is it the technophile who is trying to degoogle, is it some other specific design target or perhaps more general audience? If it’s degooglers then perhaps convincing us it has everything Google Ph

Many of us are reading this comment and not understanding why we’re being condescended to. We read TFA and not seeing the problem and the fact that you restate the fees for Marketplace aren’t selling it any more than the article. Explain wh

My thread didn’t say that at all. I’m not saying I like Prime or not. I’m saying the article fails to make the case for monopoly to me the reader.

I did read the article and I don’t see it. Just because the author says it, doesn’t mean it’s true. The fact that he calls this money laundering is totally suspect. Creating a market by attracting customers with something they want and char

This sort of reads to me like Amazon have mastered the last mile that people really care about and are charging a premium for sellers to leverage their last mile solution. I just don’t see how this constitutes a monopoly when you have tons

Let’s face it, most corporate jobs are bullshit and we know it. The reality of the balance of work is that in order to justify better than living wages in corporations you need to be good at high-school skills, e.g. cliches (organizational

My biggest problem with JRuby really wasn’t server performance or multithread - it was start time. If you used JRuby for something like scripting then you feel it way more. Try using it for a map reduce process on large data workloads in Ha

My boss once said to me “oh that must drive your cleaning lady nuts” and I just pretended like it did instead of saying that I or my wife take care of it.

I wrote a C Ruby binding for a database a long time ago and found it incredibly easy and intuitive to program. I wish I had this manual back then but admittedly, referencing other existing C Ruby bindings got me through it. Definitely a not

This seems like a way for IBM to hype up technology modernization services maybe more than any other possible scenario to me. I don’t believe this will yield useful code generation that will replace real software developers. I can see it no

The name is misleading to me. The name implies you can geocode from sqlite querying but this is basically a python package that uses sqlite as the data store for locations to be geocoded and where the results are stored.

I think that combined with immediate side effects. It’s probably socially acceptable in just about every culture to be buzzed (caffeine, tobacco, alcohol, coca leaf) but way less tolerable to be walking around doped up or hallucinating, thr

The point is spot on, many AI systems would be more expensive in practice to maintain than the problems they solve. People are enamored by AI but the practicality of its application in many business problems is challenged in my experience.

Right, a little controversy never hurts to attract attention. You will have to balance between the positive attention through comparison to an known good vs. potentially unmet expectations that known good brings. If your goal is to reach py

Thanks for sharing your project. It’s probably not a good comparison. SQLite is in such high esteem and such a well developed high quality mature product. So the comparison is sort of inviting criticism that gets in the way of people apprec

I don’t get why MSFT keep making the same thing over and over again. Who really cares about these abstraction layers. They produce junk apps by people who rarely care to keep up with them and go obsolete quickly.
