If you are interested, I highly recommend the youtube channel Kings and Generals. It has very good history content on the last centuries of the Roman Empire and the rise of the Ottomans, among others. Rise of the…
Insufficient data for a meaningful answer.
He is not cherry picking, he picked the largest immigrant group, twice as large as the next one
Right, if you consider the internal state, it is hardly similar. You talked about black box and QA though. Black box by definition holds the internal state as irrelevant, and QA mostly treats the software it tests as a…
Your run of the mill computer program also "operates in enormous parameter spaces that are impossible to meaningfully test for all possible adversarial inputs and degraded outputs".
> Game of Thrones completely disregards the real world, and because this is on purpose, I think criticisms from "realism" are unwarranted This is not true, any work of fiction needs to be believable within the bounds it…
Would you say that a database is a "black box full of binary garbage, chewing gum and rubber bands that tightly couples everything in Windows.and it's like spaghetti and can't possibly be unwound"? I don't think you…
I share the sentiment, but not for Roblox. Hashicorp, with a recent IPO, 200 mil operating revenue, and supposedly a good engineering reputation has one of its flagship products critically depend on a "toy project".
You are basing the statement "fear of wolves is completely irrational" on your experience as an outdoorsperson and 25 years of yellowstone. This is not a good basis. Wolves had lived in huge populations and had been in…
He bribed people for sure. Microsoft products had completely overtaken the public sector IT of several countries back in the 90s/00s. To get into the public sector of several third-world and not so third-world…
Curious how Rust's ownership interplays with this memory management approach. Does it actually get in the way of implementing this?
There's a whole discipline around converting diagrams to code, called Model Driven Engineering. The idea is that you capture business entities and rules in various well defined diagrams, which then can be converted to…
It's in-memory materialization, which will spill to disk if it doesn't fit in memory. Search for "Materialize node" in https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/using-explain.html
It's very true today. The problem discussed here is performance on complex queries (e.g. subqueries), and the query planner plays a huge role in that. The Postgres query planner has various issues. Here are two recent…
This website is unchanged from 1993 (the web archive first crawled it in 1997), yet it looks great in my 4K screen. I wouldn't be able to tell if it was written yesterday or 20 years ago. Completely unlike the…
Since becoming open source and the system's architecture is in the open, I wonder how this criticism of FoundationDB from a VoltDB architect https://www.voltdb.com/blog/2015/04/01/foundationdbs-lesson-... fairs against…
I really don't see Rust as a good example of a language getting its syntax right. It reads like Perl. You know what's good syntax? The one that reads like pseudocode (Python is the closest to that).
NoSQL is all about missing useful features (such as integrity, transactions, query flexibility), that you unfortunately have to drop if you want to be able to scale in certain ways. Thus, NoSQL dbs are practically…
Why EventQL over other distributed columnar-storage based databases like Redshift, Vertica, Citus, or Hadoop-based ones like Impala and Presto. What does EventQL do better?
We often see criticism against unit testing that is based on facts such as tests are badly written, unmaintainable, incomprehensive, and they drag development down. Which may very well be true! But I am amazed at the…
Sorry, I don't see the point of this library. What exactly does it provide? It looks like a very thin wrapper (150 lines of code) over psycopg2 that does exactly the same thing, just with a slightly different API.
