mocking / interaction / expect breaks encapsulation to perform "testing".

Thus it is often a test of the implementation's assumptions when first written, and even worse, when the code is maintained/edited, the test is merely changed to get it to pass, because unit tests with mocks are usually:

1) fragile to implementation 2) opaque as to intent

Whereas input/output integration points are more reliable, transparent, and less fragile to implementation changes if the interface is maintained.

However, if you must do mock-level interaction testing, Spock has made it almost palatable in Javaland.

This is one area where functional fans get to make the imperative folks eat their lunch.

Also: the fundamental undecidability of the Halting Problem

I'd guess the complexity is dependent on the decision graph complexity: cyclic vs acyclic, entrance/exit points...

If it gets to conditional / puzzle evaluation that starts to get Turing Complete, then it will hit the halting problem, which I believe is thought to be noncomputable for nontrivial graphs / code.

Sigh. Windows 8 was the opportunity. That massive incompetent stinkbomb, while simultaneously OSX was being ignored.

Google could have finished off Microsoft with a death knell investment of a relative pittance:

- get LibreOffice to 100% parity and compatibility with office

- pick and polish a desktop environment to a perfect OSX, Windows-7, and Ubuntu interface

- get CrossOffice/WINE to near-100% compatibility

- near-perfect android app use.

Instead... ChromeOS?

Google could have added a multibillion dollar industry for the investment of $100 mil.

Yes, custom ASIC is useful. Also see: Bitcoin Miners.

scuttlebutt has sneakernet options it appears. Email is just another transport mechanism.

So your approach should work in theory within the described framework.

Oh, I'm sorry, is the poor burden of publishing the laws of a government too hard for the big bad government to possibly do or fund?

Of course the solution is to make it copyrighted / restricted / owned by a third party corporation.

What? Simplify laws or properly fund the ancillary tasks entailed in changing laws? Blasphemy.

This is corruption, nothing else.

I thought I read somewhere that the fastest networking technology actually gets close to a couple hundred instructions window of processing.

Hm, 67 ns per packet.

So even this local storage would be the drag in many scenarios...

"PERIOD."

This is almost always the harbinger of lies, deception, propaganda, or lack of nuance.

I have no industry wide view, but...

All existing nuclear powerplants are shitty Fukushima-style pressurized light water reactors in the US, are they not?

I'd have to think this company is an incumbent blocking entry of modern designs. Is this really a bad thing?

How about some vitriol?

You know what the #1 feature of nosql is? NoDBA.

I can hear you screaming you'll still need a DBA. You don't get it. You won't need an Enterprise DBA.

Enterprise DBAs are almost invariably horrible blockades to data storage in any enterprise. All they do is lock away the database from developers, cram Oracle down their throats, do things as slowly as possible behind ticket walls. You lock the data away pining for your halcyon mainframe days of white coats and clean rooms, and force your slow ponderous overtenanted infrastructure.

Your profession, since you have proudly identified as a DBA, you are an Enterprise DBA, is a disgrace.

It is my impression that AWS makes its bank on I/O, while everyone makes buying decisions on CPU/RAM

What can they fit in a 5.25" enclosure?

I always wished a 5.25 mass storage HDD would come back on the market. How much would those hold relative to this?

Hm, I'm guessing about 2.5x more data per platter, about 50% more platters... 45GB?

EIGHT platters? More platters more failures and heat, isn't that right? Or does He change the equation on that?

Chef, puppet, etc, and other Apache projects all offer this already.

It's like leveraging Oracle specific database features. Your a fool to do so.

I read that Medicaid is being used to fuel the black market pipeline.

$3 copay gets you a $1000 street value opioids...

Of course this is corporate welfare for the opioid manufacturers.

I also read that one month 11% of Ohio's population was prescribed painkillers.

Economics is a highly politicized "science" however. Desperate for their pet views self-validating their world dominance, endowed chairs, think tanks, consulting, and special access to finance deals fundamentally skew the practice of economics at an academic level, essentially bribing them into line with oligarchical capitalism / "Reaganomics".

Economists routinely are placed in politically powerful positions, invariably due in large part to their professed views on economics being in line with a dominant political (aka rich cabal or pro-industry) view of economics.

If economics was truly up to snuff, it would be at the forefront of guiding policy to resolve the existential threat our global scale environmental disruption poses to us as a species, which is a direct result of the imperfect economic systems of the world.

But the fundamental problems in economics remain:

- if you can't measure it, it doesn't really exist to economics, especially to academics - if it isn't going to run out in three months or kill you in three months, it doesn't matter and is ignored by economic study

Of course those two points are slight exaggerations, but if one views the long course of economic study, they become pretty apparent.

No organization could adopt what they recommend. 75% of the "adiot" class disappears in six months

It is good for buzzword bingo awareness.

Or, made an app, and are using VC funds to dump on markets forcing out incumbents, and then will hike prices.

But go ahead and subscribe to your objectivist utopian view. Oh evil government, when will you learn?

"Uber is reinventing a whole market"

aaaaand, that justifies... what? Murder? Blackmail? Genocide? Racketeering? Bribery? Where is your line in the sand?

Wait, I know, you don't have one if you're chasing the F U Money.

You know, drug traffickers are also reinventing the market, and forging ahead into a new commodity, and using "outside of the box" thinking like assassination and liquifying your competitors in drums of chemicals. Those unnecessary regulations like "laws" are just evil big government trying to control poor defenseless drug cartels.

Yeah, but dystopian slave labor business models really get the VC funding elites to hand over the dough to the MBA sociopaths running the place.

I wish that was sarcasm.

Wherever you are writing this, the problem is you buying the oil, not them selling it.

red herring

Yep, better not do anything. Right?

Or... you close loopholes as they appear. Which happens in countries with a functional political system, unlike the US.

... without carbon taxes.

Seriously people, everyone driving ICEs is using a massive subsidy loophole with respect to carbon emissions.

It's piggybacking a known issue in one domain into another one with dubious intent...

Aka marketing

Immutable append only database with constantly processed analytics...

Why does it have its own stream processing when there are 5 or so ones already in Apache?

You can only kick the llama so many times before it kicks back.

Didn't even read the article:

.... because the Royals were paying their salaries?

Counterpoint: I was in a Walmart in the electronics aisle looking for an HDMI cable.

Dude in full hunting regalia spit what I assumed was tobacco on the floor.

I went to K-Mart, which was better. K-mart... was... better...
