If there is an A, then it is a B, hence a C, so there is a C which is an A. But if there are no As, can you still prove it?

Hey all, I'm the author of the project.. Been idle in reddit for a while now and stumbled across this. I'll be working on the walkthrough this weekend, but here's some responses to the various comments: @ErstwhileRockstar the demo is running.. check http://jejacks0n.github.com/mercury/ using one of the supported browsers listed on the side of the page. @jlpoole it doesn't need to be integrated with rails, the distro package can be used anywhere.. for example, the demo site is a static html site via github-pages. To get more advanced functionality you would need a back end, but that's the way of web development.. I prefer rails, but I don't tie it to rails per-se. @Koreija name suggestions? =) @captainbarky it's written in coffeescript.. check the repo to look at how nice the code that you would be working in actually is. @Troebr you're absolutely right, and in fact, all the images are bundled into the css bundle, so it's just the loader, js file, and css file. Although I could make some more basic installation instructions, the target is probably advanced enough to figure it out.. wysiwyg editors aren't simple to support, so I tried to raise the bar a bit -- maybe too far? In general I chose Rails as the platform to build it for because the installation instructions are as simple as adding a line to a file: gem "mercury-rails" and running: bundle Image uploading works out of the box.. It's not a simple task to get that working on every platform, and I'm only one guy.

1) That's SQL Server rolling back the transaction. If they gave you a false indicator that the operation has terminated you could immediately run another query on those objects and performance would come to a crawl due to the locks. SSMS has excellent multithreading so just open e new tab while SQL Server finishes the rollback, and dont touch those tables. 2) A user-space program causing BSOD? That's messed up. SSMS's Edit Top 200 Rows (the equivalent of Open Table) has not caused me any problems so far.

I don't think anyone is asking you to be 100% convinced, not the author, not the publishers... What papers like these are supposed to do is put a little doubt or skepticism in your mind, so the next time something similar happens you are primed to see the problems before they occur. And yes, in a certain light that is overly optimistic of me to suggest. But, I do not think that the potential gains that come from publishing or writing this work could *ever* compete with the gains that one would get for keeping quiet in the industry. It's a risk, and I'd rather assume that the single voice of dissent is doing it because there *truly* is something wrong with the system, rather than one person getting screwed over (because trust me, plenty of people get fucked over way harder than this guy did in the tech industry, or in any industry for that matter).

Are you really saying that introducing a new protocol is easier than deprecating HTTP/HTTPS which are already widely popular protocols? Sorry, but, really... no. Let's take all ancient software into account. Let's take crappy packet filters. Crappy intercepting-proxy-idiot-antivirus-"solutions". etc.

> Give me a couple of examples of things Oracle can do that other engines can't. The most obvious is RAC -- nothing else comes close. Massively scalable, ACID compliant, commodity hardware, transparent to apps, integrated load optimization...it is complex but an extremely versatile clustering stack Others would be flashback query/database, automatic block corruption recovery from standbys, integrated SQL plan management, standby-first rolling upgrades, workload capture and replay...some DBs do some of these things, but only one that I know of does all of them > I know the info is coming up on 2 years old now, but there was a 1.1 petabyte SQL Server 2008 database back then yeah...using filestream. The bulk of the data are blob files on NTFS, and the "db" is just pointing to them. Ask yourself how you'd back up a 1.1PB database with SQLServer, and then how you'd restore a portion of it due to limited corruption

SPDY has an additional benefit of pure HTTP pipelining, in that the server can send data that is known to be needed before the client knows. Normally, the client has to download the HTML, parse out the needed resources, then make multiple requests to download them. Sure, HTTP pipelining allows the browser to reuse the existing connection and request all of those resources at once, but SPDY allows the client to skip the resource requests, which saves a long round trip (or more) on a mobile network.

>A pointer points. A reference refers. These are the same thing. This is why defining things tautologically is just a specious argument that confuses yourself and other people. Just because their associated verbs are potentially similar does not mean the two concepts are the same. A pointer is a data type. Can you do pointer arithmetic in Java? No you can't because Java has references and not pointer types. Honestly, as someone who has tutored students who *were* struggling with these concepts, this guy is a blowhard and probably doesn't have any teaching experience to back up his rant. Things always seem easy when you've spent years doing them.

>Because of the salary averaging? * This is one point -- unions strongly tend towards seniority-based compensation. * Unions tend to push to discourage easy hiring and firing. * Unions (by nature!) work by leveraging a monopoly; monopolies tend to lead to market failure. I don't have a special issue with unions as regards this; I just have concerns with any monopoly. * Unions tend to whip people up by producing material that work up an antagonistic attitude towards employers. Yes, you should negotiate rationally, but no, I don't think that reading nasty stuff about how your manager is keeping people down tends to produce particularly friendly working environments. >I was more interested in any group that would fund our political interests. Like the [Electronic Frontier Foundation](https://w2.eff.org/patent/)? That I can agree with.

This is one of the few things the Spdy developers actually tested... it yielded a 0.5% benefit. That's not worth it. Sending just a list of resource URLs to fetch was only 1.9% benefit... and this could be done by sending these in say the HTML header and achieve mostly the same benefit.

Sure, if controlling interest in the company changes, then there are no guarantees. Then again, you might as well say that a company that creates anything is part of the problem. Because patents are granted on so many basically trivial details, any company with a large enough body of millions of lines of code in past work will always be able to obtain and exploit patents at will. The ship has long since sailed on trying to prevent anyone from applying for or getting questionable patents. Today's battles are: (a) the political fight to change the legislation, (b) the legal fight to change the interpretation of existing statute, and (c) the economic fight to dissuade patent holders from abusing their patents by creating significant consequences for doing so. Google in on the front lines of all three of these fights; they advocate and lobby for changes to patent laws; their legal team fights for changes with amicus briefs and defenses in court; and they are compiling a large *defensive* patent portfolio to fight against specific patent aggressors, not just for themselves, but for others as well. So yes, we should fix the system, and recognize that the patent system causes its own problems with economic uncertainty. I'm just saying you should recognize who your allies are, and that it's not productive to create arbitrary standards that only serve to define everyone as being against you, and then criticize the whole world for not becoming martyrs for a cause when they've done a hell of a lot more than you probably have.

> Other way around. Customer would have a CustomerTypeID. Right... which is where I would expect an index WOULD help you, for when I do "SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE CustomerTypeID = X". I'm not sure why an index wouldn't be desired here (unless customer type has a very small number of choices, and you're saying that most of your customers would be one type, so a full table scan is almost as efficient as the index scan, so maintaining the index ALSO is reaching a point of diminishing returns?). > If your index contains not only the fields you're searching for, but also the fields you're trying to return, the database can actually skip finding the record in the original table, and answer the query entirely from the index. Ah, yes, I understand that. I am not a DBA, I'm a programmer, so I don't write a whole lot of queries like that, though I see the usefulness if you did... My general rule of thumb is just "If it's in your where clause, it probably deserves and index". Has served me pretty well (mostly).

I suppose they do it because they can. Smaller companies simply release a new API version you can reference in your code once you update to accommodate changes, while maintaining the older versions for those who don't update immediately. That takes time (Money) and giving a shit. Facebook? They don't have to do that.

Personally I think it is more due to the fact that short term profits are the most important commodity at the moment. Nobody cares about long term success, all they care about is this years figures. Fuck next year. So if you offend your core market? So what. Big deal. That is NEXT years problem when I'll be long gone... This might be a crazy thing to say, but this is one area where Microsoft has it right. They know where their next meal comes from and then don't often shit on that. "Developers Developers Developers." You'll notice that companies who have long term goals, like Amazon are doing really well, and companies who have no long term vision like HP are dying.

Small groups also tend to miss important factors that they aren't aware of or care about. For instance nobody wanted to put an actual CPU in their mouse and keyboard to talk to the computer -- they just wanted to cross the wires and have some baked-in tables and circuits. DMA in a mouse? No thanks. I guess I don't get your point. There are tens of thousands of different wireless devices from different manufactures that work with no problems. And what's your problem with USB? Nothing a Beagle can't solve anyway. SCSI was designed by a small core group of people, so I'm not sure why you'd mention that.

I think the problem with all the countless "monad tutorials" out there is that two thirds of them are written by the noobs who more or less wrapped their mind around the concept but can't convey it properly, and one third is written by people with category theory background who take too much for granted. Lemme try a one minute explanation of what monads are, for shits and giggles! We have types like integers, floats, strings, whatever. Then we have types like a list of integers or list of strings. In fact, we have a type "list of something", a type that can be parametrized by any other type to produce a concrete type. Other examples of such second-order types include a "maybe something" (which is either Nothing, or an instance of Something, it's a degenerate case of a list in fact), or "Future<something>" which calculates the value of something in a separate thread and gives it on demand. Then wouldn't it be useful if we could take a function that operates on basic types, say, converts an integer to a string, and feed it to our list of integers to get a list of strings, or to a 'maybe integer' to get a 'maybe string', or send it to an `Future<integer>` to get a `Future<string>` which applies the function in a separate thread? Right. So we make an interface `IFunctor` which has a method `fmap`, which, for a `Functor<T1>` takes a function `T1 -> T2` and returns a `Functor<T2>`. On a side note: this can also be thought of as "lifting" a function `T1 -> T2` into a function `Functor<T1> -> Functor<T2>`. Also, `fmap` can be a standalone function, overloaded for different kinds of functors, if that's the preferred way in your language. Also, in fact you can't make a proper `IFunctor` interface in Java or C# for the lack of higher-order generics. An important thing here is that it's an interface, it says what we _can_ do with our functors, but not what we _can't_ do. For instance, our `Future<int>` would have a method `int get_value()`, and that's OK, it's no less a functor because of that. OK, then we have a problem: suppose we want to add two `Maybe<int>`s. If we tried to use our Functor interface, it would look like this: `Maybe<int>(10).fmap(x => Maybe<int>(20).fmap(y => x + y))`. The problem is that it returns `Maybe<Maybe<int>>`! By the way, you can see why the `fmap`-like functions are often called `bind`: because they bind the value(s) inside the functor to the parameter of a given function. Oh, so, the problem is easily fixable: let's make another interface, `IMonad`, with a method `bind`, which requires the function to wrap the value into our type, so for a `Monad<T1>` it takes a function `T1 -> Monad<T2>` and returns a `Monad<T2>`. For example, the List type would call a function for each element, take the resulting lists of elements and concatenate them, giving a flat list. There's one last thing: you want both your functors and monads to obey a simple law: wrapping something into a functor (monad) and then applying a function shall yield the same result as applying the function to bare values and then wrapping the result. For example a `list of int` that additionally increments the values for each operation is not a proper functor. And that is all, basically.

I used to work for a small graphic design firm. Everything was going great until a multinational company that made up 80% of our business, cut their marketing budget by 75% and started hiring their own people to do the work we typically did for them.

I really don't like his treatment of pointers, and even less -- of recursion. To understand pointers you should understand that every value in your program resides in memory, which is an array of bytes. Then a pointer is simply an index in that array, where something of interest is located. One way of understanding recursion is to understand that local variables of a recursive function reside in the same memory, in a region called a "stack frame". So when the function calls "itself", a brand new stack frame is allocated, and the variables in that second invocation reside at different memory addresses. Isn't that _the_ problem with understanding recursion -- how it is possible that a function calls itself without modifying any of its own variables and parameters? That's how. There's another approach to explaining/understanding recursion based on variable substitutions, as in lambda calculus, but I find it much less intuitive. Because it leaves the most important question any aspiring programmer should ask, "how the hell it works, actually?", unanswered. And this second approach is unapplicable to explaining pointers at all. The stuff about pointers being references and recursion being a self-reference can't be helpful to anyone, I'm afraid.

>According to Ryan Dahl the author of Node.js, it is best to download and compile from source instead of installing it through a package manager like brew as Node.js has a quick development time. If you are getting errors during the compile, you may need to download the latest version of Apple’s XCode from the AppStore. For anyone like me, stuck without XCode^1 , you can actually just download a precompiled package [here](https://sites.google.com/site/nodejsmacosx/). I mention this because I have seen absolutely no tutorials out there that mention this, and it is a little bit hidden on the node.js site. 1. It's a *huge* download now!

I don't have a constructive answer yet, but it's not hard to come up with some of the first things that need to change: * HR people filtering resumes that aren't problem solvers themselves and don't understand the mindset. * Requirements meant to filter the resume stack down to a manageable level that cause false negatives (10 years experience in Windows Server 2008). * Looking too hard for candidates that already have knowledge of the specific technologies being used. The better alternative, *if* you knew how to look for it, would be to look for personality traits like curiosity, flexibility and diligence that will always help, independently of the technologies used. This is assuming you actually want somebody who's passionate. Employers say passionate when they mean hard working. Employees use the word to describe big picture thinkers who place a high value on creativity. The two aspects are totally orthogonal, and probably the majority of businesses for the majority of positions don't want the second at all.

That is because when a programmer looks at something really successful and thinks "I could have easily made that, why do *you* deserve all that money", the jealousy starts. With Google, this isn't so much the case. Google started with some non-trivial ideas and implementation work so this technical merit means that they can be seen as deserving of their success.

>No, we didn't. You just said they don't have the right to do it. You never mentioned anything about who would enforce it. If I tell you where to find something, and you're too stupid to see it, it's not my fault. This is how I know you're a 3rd stringer; you need everything spoon fed to you. >Oh wow, such an awful fucking idea. Suppose I'm a poor person, who can't afford your private security. Do I have no right not to have my shit fucked with? With true free-markets, there really wouldn't be many poor people, unless you were mentally ill or a complete drug addict. If you actually read Hayek, Ostrom, Buchannan, Friedman (all Nobel Prize winners), you would see how this situation was addressed. Especially Hayek and Ostrom, they argue that communities would voluntarily cooperate to hire private security for those areas. It wouldn't necessarily be individual; libertarianism has a *very* strong communal component as well. >Believe it or not, there is actually quite a bit of free enterprise in China. Not really. At any given time, the government can completely shut you down for whatever reason they want. [Any](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/expat/expatlife/8725715/Risky-business-in-China.html) reason. CNBC just did an article on this too, on why China's wealthiest are desperately trying to leave the country. >And your "having incentive to keep land clean" remark is retarded, as even if you don't own the land, you still have to live around there, and breathe the air and drink the water. You wouldn't be able to build a factory on a lot of land unless you purchased the land from the community. If you purchased the land from the community, you would have to sign a contract. Neighborhoods would, and have (Ostrom listed countless examples of local communities regulating pollution via contracts, not government), established environmental regulations through contracts. This is the other communal part of libertarianism, which you ignorantly ignore (because you can't defeat it and it defeats your argument). In China, there is no communal ownership of land. It's all owned by the federal government. Communities can't establish their own contracts and guidelines. >Except the whole billions of dollars in restitution they've had to pay, the cleanup efforts they've had to lead, the decimation of their share price, etc. You mean that the tax payers have to pay? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. >And remember, under your system, there wouldn't be any laws for them to break either. You are ignorant about libertarianism and the idea of contracts. You should really read some research instead of rambling on like an ignoramus.

Re: 3 It actually is a pretty big win. Consider compressing the whole stream. Your compression dictionary entries for your headers likely get pushed out between each GET (assuming a relatively simple case of just downloading a page and its subresources). So, you have to go through the trouble of recompressing them for every single request. However, when you compress JUST the headers on a particular compression stream, all of a sudden, these values which are almost EXACTLY the same on every request can be compressed down to a very tiny "look over there" pointer (much smaller than regular compression of a good sized block of text). All of a sudden, the benefit doesn't seem so "marginal", does it? (Disclaimer: I work for Mozilla, and discussed this exact piece of the implementation with the blog poster last week.)

USB3 took ages to standardize. The claimed USB2 speeds are imaginary numbers. SCSI may have started as a small group, but it didn't stay that way. The T10 committee, working under ANSI, drives the standard now.

There's already a programming language called mercury. Is your project early enough on to consider a mild name change, like MercuryHTML or whatever? Consider how the guy who spent 10 years on Go, who even published books, basically lost everything because Google was too busy not giving a fuck. Mercury is a great, poorly known language, and this could be a real loss.

Well, if you *really* want the if on next line, in Ruby you can escape the newline. However, I have never seen newlines escapes in any real code. do_something() && big_long_line() \ if num == 0; Still, if you feel the need to do that, you probably just want a regular if.

No, because telephone isn't the name of an actual service/product. You *do* capitalize Verizon, the telephone service. You *do* capitalize Internet, which is the name of a network.

>With true free-markets, there really wouldn't be many poor people, unless you were mentally ill or a complete drug addict. That is a baldfaced lie and you know it. And even if it were true, you're going to deny someone rights because they don't have the money, simply because they're mentally ill? That's fucking disgusting. >Especially Hayek and Ostrom, they argue that communities would voluntarily cooperate to hire private security for those areas. It wouldn't necessarily be individual; libertarianism has a very strong communal component as well. You mean, they would hire a company to provide security for the city. Kinda like a... police department? Yeah, real original that one. > At any given time, the government can completely shut you down for whatever reason they want. And yet, you still haven't explained their lack of environmental regulation and how that translates into extremely shitty environmental conditions. Could it be that free enterprise is only about making money, damn the expense? That business really doesn't give a shit if you have to endure their pollution, because they're making money? If anything you've said had any kind of leg to stand on, then those areas with extremely lax environmental regulation and a good industrial sector would still have fairly clean environments. That is obviously not the case. >Neighborhoods would, and have (Ostrom listed countless examples of local communities regulating pollution via contracts, not government), established environmental regulations through contracts. Ok, and say a company wants to build a factory, but doesn't give a flying fuck about your "community". They spit on your contracts. How are you going to stop them from building their factory and turning your environment to shit again? That's right, you can't. >This is the other communal part of libertarianism, which you ignorantly ignore (because you can't defeat it and it defeats your argument). I ignore it because it doesn't exist. And again, you're relying on people to come together, and set rules for interaction with each other, and take responsibility for the conditions of the area. Kinda like a... government? >You mean that the tax payers have to pay? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. You mean the one that BP had to pay. >You are ignorant about libertarianism and the idea of contracts. You should really read some research instead of rambling on like an ignoramus. Yeah, no. That's not an answer. You're assuming BP would have signed contracts with every single property owner around the area. Not to mention the fact that you're completely ignoring the concept of public property, which is a very important one. You're also assuming that anyone would be able to enforce those contracts (something you've completely glossed over in your response).

Compression is one-directional on a stream. Each direction has its own table. So what exactly are you sending in between GETs? 32k+ of cookies? What you say is true for the first GET on a connection, but later GETs would be compressed just as well as with a primed dictionary. > All of a sudden, the benefit doesn't seem so "marginal", does it? Saving a hundred or so bytes once per connection seems marginal to me, especially in the presence of fixed pipelining, the average size of resources, and cookies. Take an example, fetching a reddit page: sent header: 880 bytes gzip'd header: 565 bytes gzip'd primer: 531 bytes gzip'd primer + header: 1020 bytes net header with primer: 489 bytes So in other words, ~76 fewer bytes or 13% less. On the first GET only, on the header. Worth it? It's a micro-optimization, meanwhile 1/3 of web site traffic isn't even compressed using accept gzip. And sites have dozens of resources that could be combined for huge gains.

Right, they absolutely don't have to give a shit. That's the unfortunate nature of having to rely on Facebook as a platform. They own the social market so there's no incentive for them to keep developers happy. We have to keep developing for Facebook regardless, even if they pull their APIs out from under us with no notice or if they decide to stop maintaing their documentation. I'm really, really hoping that Google+ picks up some more steam. Some serious competition is what the social space really needs right now. Better for users and much, much, much better for developers.
