Except.. compliance staff who want to use some ahem wonderful standards complaint reporting tool.

There's just one solitary mention of Informix in the whole discussion, as I'm typing this. And that's a comment lumping Informix with everything else commercial and expensive.

I thought Informix owned the embedded dB space at a certain rollout complexity. Remember the backups... Informix speaks json too, including at some quite low level primitives. Whether you buy a product like Informix Edge plus tools or not, depends on what is sending the time series data.

Actually for the air BnB rental, I think it would be real sweet to think of some way you can make procedural inputs from suggestions from the current guests, and send the resulting design to them in a choice of mug or mouse mat or tea cloth or what have you. The dates of their stay and so on . . But be sure to advertise on the output, naturally. Anything you can do to multiply good word of mouth is (deductable) pennies well spent.

I'm old enough to have never been tested for dyslexia, because I scored high in average tests..

But come high school years, or in British sixth form studying for"A levels", I scored in the top decile for my class and for Applied Math, but the bottom dectile for Pure Math.

I think you can make a very good argument that math notation is not doing the potentially career changing job it could be doing, by not expanding the keys. Darn, even a key table index alongside would be night and day better. Edit - didn't remember the length of my comment after coming back to it after a break, so culled the excess. The punchline was that when we got a new young and enthusiastic Pure tutor, who was French, so he in true anger would explain to us in great eloquent depth, my marks equalized in two semesters.

There's surely something like a formal study of students to show if comprehension is the main reason math is hard?

I think I'm just echoing rb808's comment, below, who is more informative than I can be, but I originally thought to comment only that my impression without any kubernetes experience is that the likelihood is, based upon my impressions of the article alone, is that in all probability this article is recording a attempt to coerce the inappropriate solution to deliver a much more difficult to achieve result than at least the scope of the article indicates is appreciated.

I could have just said that even knowing nothing much beyond cursory reading about kubernetes, the article comes across as a excercise in attaining disappointment thru hurried assumptions about what constitutes both a silver bullet and the daemon to be dispatched from unruliness.

The part that is disconcerting is the introduction to the article as a interview with the CTO, but it only takes a turn for the worse almost immediately by admitting to I'm production deployment of the solution, to which the subsequent admission to encountered difficulties is not compounding the sin do much as burying this entire excercise beneath condemnation, if I simply put down the impression conveyed. This has to be at the very least terrible PR. I'm increasingly concerned too, about the abundance of misapprehension of not only the capabilities of file systems but just fundamental design constraints, at s level of understanding that I would have expected to be fired for from a operations position in any of my customers. Have I missed the redeeming features in my haste to comment? It just feels so imbalanced and insecure to be so forthright about the level of accomplishment that's claimed.

My father spoke German and French, but it was the ability to receive French FM broadcasts on our southern coastal hilltop in England, which I think is the difference between my ability to understand the spoken languages. I was later, from high school on, exposed to far more German and Russian than French. As anecdotal as my experience is, possibly having Russian radio stations playing around the house might be helpful.

,>vastly underestimating the cognitive powers of young children.

I have been wondering if education in a single language is not a inhibitor of development much beyond anything that we can presently suspect. My pathetic reading of history places human development where either languages are daily flux, along trade routes, else in close proximity and contact even as created in wartime alliances. How easily do we attribute to the national character our perception of intellectual capacity and style. The joke about Hungarians being perforce genii the complexity of their language demanding that agility. So should I expose my infant son to as many spoken languages as possible for the longest time?

I can imagine there is benefit to the illusion of perfect mutual understanding between two men when both are considerably intoxicated. The likely defusing of circumstances otherwise liable to encourage violence, for example.

But I have never found any satisfying reason for this phenomenon of mutual understanding at the apparent peak of drunkenness.*

I think the extreme effect of alcohol in this case is actually fairly well known, despite the thought occurred to a friend who managed to turn his own experience into a undergraduate study, that the evidence is infrequent due to the required amount of alcohol exceeding most physical tolerances.

I have been convinced without any evidence, since university days, that the mind can become exceptionally plastic under extreme effect of alcohol., [Edited, I left in a section that added nothing so withdrew it] Obviously little formal study is probably done, but since I have one nagging fear of failing to discover something so vital in plain sight but missed for sake of my narrowness in vision, and in my fear of the damage done that stays with me despite hangover all forgotten, I dearly should love to hear of science in answer to the phonomenon. Did the unknown language overflow and get routed to the disused section of my brain that once awaited regional programming and can utter or at least gurgle every human sound? That might trigger a familiar and comfortable and safe feeling, the exciting of brain disused since infancy.

EWD 667 Dijkstra's "On the foolishness if natural language programming"

"... the last decades have shown a sharp decline of people's mastery of their own language."

I have immediately to mind, despite it's not by far the most eloquent of EWDs letters on language. A moment of your search engine of choice, reading the results of his letters found by the qualification of "+ poetry" I enthusiastically propose to you despite I vaguely recall losing my argument with my English language tutor for my assertion that the"interactive reference" to a broad body is valid argument if proposed by requirement prior to reading my essay.

The man first to be described as computer programmer or scientist of computer languages challenges me not to pursue the subject of his renown, but to learn Dutch so to learn instead of computing the tremendous subtlety of humanity which I have found overwhelming whenever I come across his expositions.

The Victorian era I believe saw this distinction between man and nature which found exegesis and celebration in formal gardens and arguably even though the assiduous endeavour of naturalists and explorers in this age of classification, of delineation: Human Above Cruel Raw Nature. Nature seen as the result of forces and devoid of innate intelligence or even intrinsic logic possessed by itself and not discoverable by the obsessions of man's inquisition. Nature was about to give up its its all. Then Man would stand supreme, as if asked to defend the thesis by a passing hurricane.

Are we not learning glyphic or visual narrative speech at considerable pace of adoption, right now in the west?

Was the SMS messaging apotheosis the acceptance of conducting transactions in practical life circumstances entirely via emotional expression in a exceptionally complicated indirect tense and at times by suggestion and inferences avoiding noun and verb entirely?

I'm not a linguist nor even familiar enough with the formalities so very helpful if not essential to discuss this subject which I find increasingly fascinating, if you can forgive me my inclination to attempt my expression in certain expectation of some technical error. But I hope my impression conveyed, at least, that I am sure that as a species the result of the communication explosion since the internet, must be a renaissance in language development and expression. I am unsure if I can articulate what's been a nagging feeling I'm yet to have attempted expressing to any audience, but if you take the extinction of historical languages to be accelerated by the isolation from urbanisation and other factors, if isolation from other speakers or potential new speakers is the past language killer, then talking to grandchildren over Skype might enable at least colloquialisms and dialects still extant or somehow developing to persist in the future?
