Borg has concepts of quota and priority which function as the internal market you are talking about: Verma, et al. "Large-scale cluster management at Google with Borg".

It's called GraphQL not JSONQL ;) I do see your point that for many applications you want the result in a tree, not in a list of rows. I think there should be a relational query language that lets you map from one schema to another sch

The implicit question is what makes GraphQL and SQL different layers? They both seem to be solving the same problem allowing clients to query data with joins and projections so they can get exactly the data they want in one query. I could i

You can search for non explicit dependencies. e.g. if you're removing a command line flag in a C++ binary. You can search for all uses of that flag for all users of your binary to make sure it is safe to remove.

Using / for reduction reminds me of the Bird–Meertens formalism.

My thoughts are my own but I think Google is very serious about diversifying their sources revenue away from mostly advertising.

Does the strangler have to be a separate server? Couldn't you wrap the existing code within the same binary?

I suspect a lot of interesting work on semantic knowledge graphs has been done internally at FAANG and others, but the results are trade secrets.

There already is an autonomous closed loop from human behavior, digital surveillance of that behavior, and AI models that train on that data and use their models to influence human behavior.

Great. I hope the IRS is serious about this and finally makes the tax software industry obsolete.

> the most environmental form of recycling is for an object to be reused as is Just a nit: it’s useful to think of reusing as distinct from recycling. Recycling breaks the object into its raw material.

Why not let developers justify their work and point out its positive impact themselves? It would require some overhead, but they could highlight the appropriate metric if it can be quantified and also justify more qualitative improvements.

Thanks! That clarifies the distinction.

I think that fulfills the definition of both statistical and legal bias.

I don’t agree with all of the conclusions of the article. I just think it’s patently false that the article is one sided and vilifies technology workers.

by smadge 7y ago
Totally agree that many comments here indicate a deep misreading of the article. The article examined two viewpoints, one that scapegoats the tech industry and one that scapegoats the NIMBYs. They say no progress has been made in a decade a

No, the article literally presents two sides of the story, presents the claims of both sides, and at the ends attempts to provide a synthesis. The two sides presented are those that find fault with the NIMBYs who blocked building more housi

I think the article was more nuanced than that.

Maybe you could create some text macros to simplify the process, and then run a preprocessor on your program, and then.... uh oh.

Just write an implementation of map/reduce/filter for every type in your go program!

I only read the abstract and the first few pages, so my opinion is uninformed. However my first thought was similar to yours. Asking sensitive questions may be moderately positive on average, but occasionally extremely negative.

I think you misinterpreted that passage. The larger context is: > Look at my industry. Videogames. What did make games tinkerable? Liberated individual creativity, art, even the ability to make a living? > Steam, the Apple app store,

Maybe, but SMTP and IMAP are still widely used. It seems reasonable for a computer science student to implement these protocols.

I don’t know if this is what goes through people’s heads, but why bother to spend the time to return the book and lose access to its utility when you can just keep it.

A magma is a set with one binary operation. There can be any number of operations in an algebra, with any arity. For example, one of the simplest algebras has one unary operation. You can specify additional structure of an algebra beyond

I think that’s exactly the point. There are millions of untestable lines of driver code which may or may not be run depending on your users hardware configurations. There could be bugs or vulnerabilities sitting in those lines and there is
