th3iedkid··on India is sending a rover to the moon, and the country is pumped
Wouldn't special lines of credit open up for a country/city willing to setup olympics ?
th3iedkid··on India reportedly wants to build its own WhatsApp for government communications
Not that I like TCS or Infosys, but why does everyone appear to hate them so much? If most organisations appear to go with them, is it because they lack market options at what they offer?

On the other hand ,Wouldn’t some other govt sub-org like CDAC etc might get to build this via NIC or whomsoever supervises this?

th3iedkid··on WeChat is Watching: Living in China with the app that knows everything about me
>Is it too much effort to just make your own coffee in your own apartment? Does that now also have to be delivered to you? The amount of waste involved in this just boggles my mind.

Not from China but have been different phases of life where have either preferred to have early morning coffe delivered/fetched/made myself in my apartment. Different priorities would drove the choices for me. Pricing differences between walking-fetching and having it delivered it on a schedule to my place were not much. Making it often required me to maintain a lot of things , which i preferred depending on place, nature of work besides other priorities.

th3iedkid··on CCN Is Shutting Down After Google’s June 2019 Core Update
>Ah, now it makes sense. They already had this plan to launch an anti-Google journalism site, HVY. Now maybe they can get some attention to their message, and promote HVY. Nobody is "shutting down", they are just rebranding to HVY.

If all they are onto is rebranding, this article is simply bad messaging for the new brand!

th3iedkid··on The Turbulent Life of One of America’s Last Snake-Handling Preachers
>So when someone goes down and the police want to know who brought the offending snakes or jar of poison, just shrug and say, “pastor’s privilege.” That, Jamie said, should be enough to get the police to leave you alone.

Very interesting to read further .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priest%E2%80%93penitent_privil...

th3iedkid··on Angrave's crowd-sourced System Programming wiki-book
>Interestingly enough, there are efforts to improve Scala compilation time by keeping only a subset of the language. Which then raises the question, why keep Scala if you ditch its powerful features (such as macros)?

Is reasonable scala proposing to remove macros? I read as though they proposed to compatible with others like TLScalac or scalac or Dotty?

th3iedkid··on Prolog-Based Reasoning Layer for Counter-Strike Agents (2012) [pdf]
long time back we used to play with these mods like PodBots ,RealBots etc that did embed some degree of improvement
th3iedkid··on Ask HN: Should I invest time on mastering the command line or the Jetbrains IDE?
I work with both depending on context.

Terminal based ones are very good :

- when you are working on REPL environments.

- small/short programs not involving lot of modules

- when you are learning or trying to learn a language/toolkit/framework

- training yourself for minimum tooling work experience.

IDEs are very good :

- when you are preparing to work on large projects with loads of modules

- when collaboration is more important than learning with insistence of a shared dev eco-system

- to quickly complete boiler plates & refactor larger artifacts

- when you are focused on making not only yourself but a whole team with varying levels of skills productive.

- when working with IDEs is actually productive for a given ecosystem.

The above are not complete but an average approximation of experience i've gained so far. The last point is where experience from someone using a given IDE for a given ecosystem really matters.Some of the IDEs might at times make it counter productive , e.g. in new languages with new IDE features might have a rather slow unproductive experience. I have experience with IDEs (JBs too) when refactoring something in a new plugin or a language,when an IDE would just hang!

th3iedkid··on Blue Ocean
we too found that it doesn't support all of the original jenkin's features after we tried it , and its disabled at prod .
th3iedkid··on Apache Ivy – any future or is it also going to be retired?
sbt still uses ivy and so do many other projects that not just use sbt but ant ones that directly use ivy.

SBT is quite a used one too.

th3iedkid··on On “order by” optimization
>>Unfortunately, optimizer doesn’t understand, that there’re humans who are building these systems, and humans have their own rationale and thinking. One of the ideas that a human would have is that if you have 100GB table, you better understand things like data locality and other sorts of efficiencies.

I have not used MySql and cannot comment for that but with my experience with Oracle, i believe its histogram generation process is actually trying to solve the same problem.It has a binning strategy for histogram generation that tries to help with data patterns.
