But then you need to have a stored procedure to maintain integrity every time an atom undergoes radioactive decay, that's got to be bad for performance!

1. Kafka is not really related to Hadoop in any way? Standard unix tools are also way faster than postgres, but we don't use databases or Kafka because of their batch processing performance. 2. Hadoop is used for batch processing and i

Yeah I think the ligature debate is a bit tiring frankly but one place where putting ligatures is very clearly a bad idea is in code examples. A blog is not my IDE, I can't turn them off and even worse I don't even know they are o

The "paper" looks like a science fair project to me (a very good one though!) They don't really come up with a new method of calculating the distance, more like an explanation that might be more intuitive to some. The average

Fourier methods are pretty common in PDEs and the QFT is the core ingredient of many quantum computing algos, such as the quantum phase estimation algorithm used to find eigenvectors (such as modes of wave equations) or the HHL algorithm us

Likely this is an application of the Quantum Fourier Transform, which is O(n^2) where the classical analogue would be O(2^n) for n qubits. It's important to note as a caveat that no currently existing quantum computers are anywhere nea

Yes. I work on a monorepo with >1000 other devs, in every time zone. If we just broke mainline all the time, you'd get people merging broken code in Asia at the end of their work day and then we would have to revert it in NA. That w

Inequality is also high (when compared to the post war era anyway) so clearly there is plenty of room for more transferring.

You mean offering a 4% rate on a new home right? Otherwise it's only a win for the bank! It's complicated with mortgages because, in the US, mortgages are mostly securitized and resold. This covers 65% of mortgages in 2022 accordi

This is probably a big reason why gigantic cities are continuing to grow everywhere. The best way to reduce the stress of being laid off is to move somewhere with as many employers as possible.

One approach, which tends to be unpopular around these parts, is to print money and hand it to people in the form of universal programs, UBI, etc. This increases inflation which makes past capital depreciate (effectively what brought down S

I recently decided to try a scheme and did not find any that had supported Windows as a first class platform, so that's one limitation. By comparison SBCL just runs on Windows without any difficulties.

That's a good way of monetizing stolen credit card but it would be a very bad way to do money laundering, because crypto is effectively "cash" so it still isn't clean. It doesn't have a good origin story. Basically

It isn't but it's cheaper. People may not care very much about the 2% interest rates they get on their savings account, but I think they do care about having access to cheap credit.

This is also true in the private sector. While large firms compete with each other, the internal organization of corporations is a lot closer to a centrally planned economy. You request what you need from the central authority and you get a
