Just one quick note... > ...(although things like Postgres’ hstore can help)... Back when this blog post was written, this advice would have been reasonable. Today, I don't know anyone reaching for hstore since the more featureful

I can't help you with any of those questions... but back in the 90s I use to be one of those employees that looked at the image on the screen and typed the address information in Salt Lake City. Quantitatively, I don't know the st

There were several editions. My copy (sitting on my bookshelf as I speak) was the '73 edition (though I think a later printing), but they did revise it including releasing it for the then prevalent home microcomputers. I first learned

Yep. Ahl's book was first released in 1973... about 10 years before GW-BASIC.

To be fair to the original commenter though... the actual title of the TechCrunch article is: "NASA picks Eric Schmidt’s rocket company for Mars mission, setting up a race with SpaceX" That title establishes a context in which loo

> Postgres was written in the 1980s This is a pretty poor take. Sure the software that we call "PostgreSQL" started to be developed in the 80's... but they didn't stop there. PostgreSQL has been in continuous develo

If you're going to try and use this analogy, you need to compare Elixir to Kotlin or Scala or Clojure rather than Java. Elixir is a language written for the BEAM which was created for Erlang. The BEAM happened to be useful VM for thes

Sort of... this was version 3 of the engine, a fairly big redesign and for version 3 this was the first flight.

I think that's part of it, but not necessarily the whole story. I haven't criticized them in the thread yet... so here goes. Previously, I posted critically not because they were running businesses without humans, but because the

Easily one of the best values in commercial software if you have a need for what it does. I think I paid something ~$70 a couple of years ago. While there's a limitation on the number of updates you get based on release version, I&#x

There are a number of assumptions in what you say that don't necessarily hold. 1) That school is simply about landing a job. 2) That there is a value in students knowing how to have the AI do problems for them. 3) That follow-on effect

I skimmed through this, and maybe I missed it... but what really are they trying to prove? Are they trying to show that AI is capable of arbitraging consumer desires vs. market products/services into a successful business? Are they t

I think this really needs to be party of the message. It's great that Claude found a vulnerability that apparently has been overlooked for a long time. It's even proper for Anthropic to tout the find. But we should all ask abou

As others have mentioned, that's simply not going to tell you anything. AIS can and is often times turned off in such situations and it ships can spoof their location by sending false AIS... something that situations like could encour
