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.
I'm on the distributor side, I used to fantasize about using XSLT to produce all the different XML formats (beyond DDEX, like Apple, etc) from one house format, but that was probably a bad idea!
This is how non-engineers have always lived! The code is a black box, but Product Managers develop a sense of whether the developer really understood what they meant, the QA team verifies the outputs, etc.
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.
Companies pay the prevailing wage in whatever labor market they participate in.
Well, yes, but the topic under discussion is whether the market is "developers that can commute to the local office" or "developers they can work on that timezone" or "developers anywhere," which all have different implications for the market clearing rate.
For some people, the solution may be the management track. If developer salaries fall, there will be more developers hired, who will need managers. US candidates (for now) will have the advantage there.
Advancing the interests of all citizens, not just protecting the outsized benefits of one group, should be the primary concern for politicians. Think of how much boring process automation software could be written for so many businesses, if development were cheaper.
It sounds like the database branch has copy of the production schema, but what about the data itself? We've been using AWS Aurora clones to quickly give developers copies of production, can zero-copy clones be made as part of the branch?
