For folks who are not familiar, this is "The Library of Babel" by Borges. There is no creating, just selecting among characters sequences we already knew were possible.
You need schools, pediatricians, daycare, other kids, etc. Cities (and suburbs) have those, not sure about every rural area. Certainly not the village in the article.
Bush was 8 years while Biden was only 4. Biden was much higher on a per year basis than anyone else since 2000, but obviously people believe what they want to believe.
I think the graph you linked obscures the issue a bit by showing total immigrant population by year, which would change much more slowly than arrivals by year.
It certainly seems to be a big increase under Biden, compared to the last 25 years. Anyway, I personally favor immigration, I just don't want to use statistics to lie to myself either!
I was wondering about this, but digital versions are typical DRM-encumbered and actually a license (not a true purchase) whose terms probably don't allow this. The court's decision was that training is fair use, but in practice, it seems many avenues are blocked.
It reminds of the theoretically public beaches that are blocked off by privately owned land.
It seems like one idea in there is to store it both ways automatically (the HE variant)! That might be better then manually continually copying between your row store and your column store.
In that case, we might only be differing on terminology. In my understanding, scrum's defining feature was the fixed time box. What you described sounds like kanban to me!
I just checked and seems like IE was down to around 60% and Firefox up to a third when Chrome launched (not sure how long before that the project was greenlight). So it probably still played a role.
At time it was a defense against Microsoft embrace-extend-extinguishing the web through their dominance with IE. Remember ActiveX, VBscript in the browser, etc?
Interesting, what I like about kanban is that (in my opinion) it explicitly recognizes that work proceeds through specific stages, and therefore tickets go through a mini-waterfall. Waterfall is great with a small enough batch size. In contrast, scrum seems to pretend that design, development, code review, QA, etc, all happen at once throughout the sprint.
So if you want to build the next big social app, sure you build a native mobile app. But then what, you build a _desktop_ app, because that's better on certain technical dimensions than a webapp? Should facebook.com have simply offered Windows and Mac installers instead?
Are you still referring to dedicated API routes, or are you talking about annotating your UI to the point where it can serve as the API as well? I remember the latter being the vision behind things like RDFa, but those approaches never took off, for a variety of reasons.
