And of course this is standard practise. I've contracted on largish apps before (rails! Shock!) and of course we provided read-only replicas for BI query purposes. I wouldn't have provided production access even if asked. Anything

I've been waiting for Apple to at least apply some ML in text prediction (and moreso, spellchecking) in its onscreen keyboards. What they have now is worse than useless and I would have thought it would be low-hanging fruit?

That sounds like the backhaul is congested, which 5G won't do anything about at all. The good news is, it's likely much easier to upgrade the backhaul than it is to change up all the radio hardware - it's simply a decision yo

Lol. How about pretty much everywhere in Asia? China? Singapore? Korea? The "norm" is to live at home until you get married, when you use all the money you saved living rent-free at home to put down a hefty deposit on a house. I k

I am assuming this is a sincere question, so I'll give a sincere answer. Peterson has consistently made two arguments (that come to mind) that cause these accusations: - his arguments that "dominance hierarchies" naturally fa

Not really defending the vague statements of the person you're replying to, but I'd take those surveys with a giant grain of salt. There's just too much selection bias at work. I for one struggle to imagine how any company co

Well, there's no accounting for taste I suppose - needless to say I disagree, but if it wasn't for you, so be it. I do note the books seem a little divisive; people either love them or hate them, much like Stephenson. I do underst

I love how you conceptualise things based upon what seems to be your familiarity with DB cursors, stateful interfaces and other CS concepts. You're absolutely right, of course - it's just an interesting choice of conceptual framew

Is Cryptonomicon even sci-fi? I mean, Stephenson is known for the genre, and certainly it will appeal to genre fans, but it's not actually set in the future... I totally second the recommendation, though.

If you prefer text that's fine. But you must be cognisant that a very large number of people do not, and that in many cases you're losing a lot in the translation - including that the translation may never be made in the first pla
