They just need to rename their community edition to "unsupported edition" or "insecure edition" or "we will leak your IP to china edition".

READMEs and API docs aren't mutually exclusive. But they cover different scopes. READMEs are more suited for high-level documentation, focusing on the /why/ instead of the /how/.

Q is K3 with some utility functions. It is sold by Kx Systems as part of kdb+, which I have the pleasure of working with on occasion. The most recent version of K is K9, aka "Shakti"

Wow. Intel's slides /reek/ of desperation. Intel can't beat Apple on performance per watt (other than price, that is the only metric that really matters), so they claim their competitive advantage is that there are more

Yes. But parquet is now based on Apache Arrow.

Why leave the Australian market? Google controls their search algorithm. Just list Australian news at page 10 or whatever.

tl;dr: Article has little substance and instead points reader to a podcast. Ugh.

Version 1.6 (beta) is significantly faster (5-10x on my machine) than 1.5, largely due to code invalidations and parallelism. And 1.5 is faster (in both runtime and compiletime) than earlier versions. I also imagine future iterations will f

In data science, types change all the times. E.g. when dealing with tabular data, the columns (which might be used as type parameters) change frequently. In Julia, for example, see DataFrames.jl vs. TypedTables.jl for some trade-offs. In ge

At this point, companies might as well just have an explicit policy of not hiring anyone registered as a Republican. Party affiliation is not a protected class, after all.

Shorts have no theoretical stop-gap for losses. Would it be wiser take a long position on a put option?

You might be thinking as a technologist rather than as a business person. Debian is great, but there is no accountability if things go wrong. Accountability and QA may be worth the licensing costs, even if 100% of the software is "free

The tech stack you already know is best. Rails might be great, but not if you don't already know Ruby or Rails. That said: avoid "JAM stack". Use a fullstack "batteries including" framework with good documentation a

What I like about this is that they include a lot of compound lifts. Exercises like squats puts strain on many muscles.

Confused by the thesis, which is that modern capitalism owes itself to Protestantism turning away from predestination. But Catholicism had never embraced predestination.

To add: scientific-oriented languages (FORTRAN, Octave/MATLAB, R, Julia, ...) typically use 1-based indexing. I think its largely cultural.

Interesting! But would there really be no perf improvements before 1.5, e.g. with memcpy?
