I doubt it borrowed from Y! Pipes in particular. There is a category of server software called the "integration engine" that has been around for a while. The purpose of it is to integrate multiple third party vendor systems, so you aren't locked in to one vendor for everything. You see it a lot in industries that use software but aren't about software like health care or finance.
Kind of like that, only a lot more flexible in what it can do since it isn't a public service. You can run arbitrary DB Queries, and it supports more sources of data like FTP and files dropped on the local file system.
The traffic alerts, weather, game scores, and appointment reminder are pretty nice, even if you don't travel. The events near by could be useful too. It is very convenient if you have an android phone, but I doubt I would miss it much if it wasn't there.
It contains several testable points. Does splitting a hive create two weak hives? How do you characterize this weakness and do they recover from it? What is the genetic diversity of the bee population? Is it growing or shrinking? Toxic chemical free forage is it growing or shrinking? Forage diversity should also be easy to measure and track changes over time. Other than the personal attacks what did you find not testable?
Information in this instance is the current (and past) state of the game. Poker is an imperfect information game because you can't see your opponents cards, and you can't see the cards in the deck. Chess is a perfect information game because you know where every piece is, nothing is hidden.
B So? That just means their car needs to go on a diet. If those extra kg got us something then you might have a point.
C The point is to maximize distance traveled per energy used while providing decent range and carrying capacity. The point isn't to build systems that have a lot of downsides(complexity and weight) for no benefit.
Since he mentions the UK I assume he means the diesel version which is estimated at 60MPG. The latest version of that car is estimated to come in around 78MPG.
That is one of the problems, he who fronts the money expects to get the reward. Hence class actions where the lawyer who works on contingency gets millions and those wronged get a nickle.
Marriage as a legal entity is a legal recognition of a social custom. While some prefer to establish that social custom with a religious ceremony, there is nothing inherently religious about it. For example Buddhism has no religious institution of marriage, yet countries that are primarily Buddhist still have marriage as a civil entity.
>marriage is a religious institution, seems pretty clear.
No one is debating marriage the religious institution, you can go have whatever private marriages you want, and religions can still discriminate. What was being debated was the somewhat different, marriage the legal entity that effects inheritance, joint custody and all the other legal benefits that spouses get. They commonly occur together but they do't have to.
"Batteries Not Included" is a phrase found on the box of children's toys, so that parents know they will need to buy batteries before giving it to their kids. It has become an expression for something being incomplete and will require effort before it will work properly.
In this case the author is stating that Postgres doesn't come with a high availability capability. He then goes on to explain the high availability setup he put together.
Two things, was it something that needed to get done in the next 45 minutes? If not then a meeting is a big hammer for a small problem. If it only took 10 mins spread out over the course of several weeks it is still a time savings.
Second sure the discussion part could have been dealt with in a 45 minute meeting but how long did the thinking part take? Perhaps someone tested a few theories before presenting what they thought was the best approach in a short email. You aren't going to do that in a meeting you either end up taking the path of least resistance or you end up in another meeting after everyone has had a chance to go think and try stuff out.
Nothing in the heat of the moment. The problem comes six months down the road when something happens and you need to build that box again(horizontal scaling, box death, whatever). Your provisioning script is still point at correct version - 1.
That seems rather short sighted. Science is often described as standing on the shoulders of giants, you can't do that if everyone has to start from scratch. Sure it doesn't have to follow NASA's coding guidelines but it also shouldn't be utter garbage that no one besides the authors can figure out.
I wouldn't say he is wrong, so much as you just need a dev mode where strict acceptance is the order of the day. You need people to learn to produce correct results, but still be resilient in the field.
Maybe it is because it isn't fan-subs but when it comes to watching anime on Netflix, I much prefer the dubs. The subtitles maybe closer to what they said originally but the English is usually stilted and hard to follow.
>Any reference to their brand is not a trademark issue
True, but I can kind of see IMAX's point. In the context of the original use IMAX was used as a generic name for a very Large, high quality display. They don't want to become Kleenex or Xerox so they need to curtail those kinds of uses or they lose their mark.
Not very big, 10s of millions of rows. The biggest Postgres install I have gotten to work with was in the tens of thousands of rows. I am sure Postgres could handle more I just haven't seen it in the wild.
In my experience MSSQL and Oracle are more or less interchangeable. I have never run across PG running at the same sort of scale as the other two, but it seems to be a contender. Though I would have to agree with breakingcups, PG lacks tooling compared to the other two.
They aren't after transactions of any specific amount, just "interesting" ones. Large rare transactions are interesting, as are big transactions that have been broken up to hide from reporting.
I saw it more as mentoring by brick. Op has already tried to talk to the guy, but he keeps making the same mistakes. Teaching by example may help him to remember that certain constructs lead to certain issues because he has seen the bug reports, and how to handle them.
Op is a contractor, not a life coach. I doubt his contract includes a large number of hours for mentoring. Maybe he could request them?
It is dead. That is why you can't comment on it. I believe you can't tell it is dead because the site shows you your own stuff as not dead. Try logging out and looking at it.
When his code causes problems I wouldn't fix it directly. Put the fix as a comment in the bug tracker and kick it to him. If he can directly see what he is doing vs the correct way and why the correct way is correct, maybe he will take a hint.
How about you can't compare a bidet to washing your hands. When you wash your hands you use soap and purposefully rinse a way from your body. A bidet just sprays some water with no anti microbial properties, and it makes no attempt to wash germs away from your body. Tp might not be great at going antimicrobial but at least it is intelligently applied to keep germs contained instead of washing them all over your backside.
Machine learning is applied statistics. Elements of Statistical Learning was written by profs at Stanford and is free on the internet. It might be a bit hard since they don't really teach stats in high school. O'Reilly has a few ml books. I liked Programming Collective Intelligence it is beginner friendly and would probably help you come up with project ideas.
I said we can build a setup that is not tolerant of network partitions and was CA when it was functioning. I didn't say we could build a system that had no network partitions. P is how well it tolerates network partitions, not whether or not it experiences them.
