The only feature keeping me on Chrome is web bluetooth.

You'll have dumped it into a strict database, giving yourself a false sense of order and organization. But later when you need to query that amorphous data, you might be able to us…

Then argue honestly and work to steelman other's arguments. To address your point, I'd hardly consider IoT platforms to be a "narrow" usecase. Smaller than the whole of computing, …

What's wrong is that you asked for any usecase and then critique one because it's not broad enough for you.

It's hyperbole. A lot like systems that require hard type declarations for each and every function. The advantage of type systems is performance. Any correctness guarantees that co…

I've built IoT platforms where data from any device must be accepted. This is largely where my preference for NoSQL comes from. A device created tomorrow will not have a schema I c…

>use Elasticsearch Found your problem.

“Why didn’t we use an RDBMS in the first place? “ Because initial application specifications are sparse and definitely wrong. If your application is still up and running 5 years la…

But as soon as you're using "Maybe", you're impeding much of a type systems strengths, as the article outlined.

It's better to assume all code could throw an error. No statement is safe. This becomes particularly important in distributed computing as resources may be offline at any given mom…

It throws an error. Errors are a type of behavior. Some of those error behaviors you can cope with. You catch those. Others you can't. You raise those and either the system can cop…

I like the concept of encoding properties, like a boolean of non-empty, in an object. Beyond that, this article further convinced me type systems are for the pedantic. A given func…

It was both language and database theory, all focused on Oracle. IIRC, it was titled "Database Administration", but I remember having to draw out schema diagrams and learn all the …

A Data Analyst is a Data Scientist who can't prove Bayes Theorem.

I learned SQL in high school as my first "programming" class, though that's more of a quirk of how I moved through the curriculum. This was prior to learning C++ and then transitio…

Perception is important. A lot of these decisions aren't made by people who sat down and wrote down the numbers to arrive at the rational choice. But if I think I have utility for …

I believe some research out of Duke had already done similar things with chimps, but bringing it to humans is major. Each of these studies becomes a proof of concept for what "shou…

An update, Revenue Analytics will support immigration sponsorship for qualified candidates.

The problem this is addressing is a code being impenetrable by a human. If your solution is adding a second (human readable) code beneath the machine readable code...you haven't ad…

My experience echoes yours. We had 2 senior devs and 1 junior. We had one major event in 3 years -- a long weekend where things were on fire with code being updated on the half hou…

Graphviz and pygraphviz

I can't echo this sentiment enough. Forgetting is just as important as remembering. Past experience has only marginal value to the present and future and can just as often lead you…

Conflating of Chelsea Manning and Assange with Snowden's efforts is the crux of a very successful campaign to bury him behind claims of treason.
