tl;dr He eats mostly raw fruits and veggies and gets his liquids from those. He had an "Addiction" to processed foods. Clearly he has issues with food and is compelled to share it with the world. It's about as obnoxious as yo

It's accurate. This book is being ripped apart by scholars across many different disciplines. It's a lovely piece of trash that makes Wolfe look as bad as this article suggests.

In the same paragraph where "Higher Dimensional Black Holes" is mentioned, the journalist hedges the outlandish suggestion with "But no theory yet captures the whole story. “I do not think that there is any remotely credible

I'm more interested in finding a solution to the problem then I am about protecting my domain of knowledge, or insuring that my coworkers are aware that my domain is special and mine. I can't help but feel that this article comes

Has that never happened to you? You are stuck on a problem for what feels like forever. It's complex and difficult to keep completely in your mind at once. You've hit it from every facet that you can think off. Then you explain it

I agree completely. Going a step further, as OP has and shutting down potential helpful new perspectives and solutions by implementing a "jar" is reprehensible. When I've been mired in a complex problem for hours and I'm

Having dealt with both, I'm split. I think, in the end, I'd rather model the DDLs and have everything point to separate database on the same server or a new namespace in the existing database. You give enough rope for the customer

Speech can definitely be violence and suggesting otherwise trivializes emotional abuse and trauma faced by those that suffer from PTSD and other mental illnesses.

I don't think it needs to be Facebook to not be fucked, but I agree with OP that it could change it's user metrics to better affect behavior. Maybe similar to rep here on ycombinator.com where you get downvoted by the community if

Same here. I have an account, but I've never found any use for it. I've tried a few times, but it offers nothing that I want. I tend to be more "Social" on sites that focus on a specific topic like StackOverflow, Blogs t

If you are a developer worth your salt and not even registering on that scale, then I'm going to go with "Underpaid". Unless you live in like Bumstump, TX where you can buy a 4 bedroom 3 bath home on 2 acres of land for 60k.

A proposal, which was a PETITION, made by interns, that have absolutely no capital with which to bargain, let alone demand via petition, over the company's culture. It's insane. There is a big difference between an open-door polic

Banding together with other interns and petitioning the company to change their culture is crazy levels of naive. As an intern, you are most likely a net-negative. At best, consider yourself on a long term interview. It's not the time

The world is full of simplified programming languages. The problem with newb adoption isn't just a function of ease-of-use, the simple programming language must also interact with a familiar UI. Why would I, as a newb, want to write in

I don't know where I stand on this one. Museum Hack seems overly protective of their pretty generic name. T&L either employs a lazy designer or a vindictive writer. None of the offenses seem legal-worthy, so really it's just

That website has gained R/W access to my brain. It uses pointers and had to be compiled with /unsafe. It compelled me to write this comment. I've lost control of both my pointer fingers, my left big toe, and my left eyelid. W

That's my concern though. When you look at other enterprise-sized RDBMS you find tight integration at the "machine" level. Oracle's storage, for instance, uses "Blocks" which are sized based on the block size o

Doesn't EF just use an ODBC connection? I can't imagine that the OS upon which the Server is running would have any effect on something as high up the stack as ODBC/OLEDB.

I'd like to know more about this too. Data storage and retrieval is such an important and integral part of an RDBMS and the switch to Linux suggests that they've had to tear up a lot of their low-level logic. How well they've

I will agree with you on that one, but one is free and the other isn't. Postgres, however, is free and blows MySQL out of the water. Each has their pros and cons though.

SQL Server on a virtual Windows server is like the de facto set up within the non-IT-but-still-kind-of-technical groups of large organizations. There's just a ton of UI tools built for it and it's a nice transition from Access to

That poor little web server at the link. Talk about "Crash and Burn". The Cat5 cable connecting it to its network are probably melting. It's OK little web server! You can do it! Just keep trying!

Bravo! How have I never read this article. Every single one of these points, plus: 1) It's INSANE handling of GROUP BY. In any other RDBMS, a GROUP BY that is missing non-aggregated fields in the result set of the query would throw an
