I like patterns too. For example have you ever noticed China artificially props up the US economy via bonds/debt/investment and in return has flagrantly been allowed to steal pretty much every byte of US IP, both from the private sector and defense with zero pushback from our "intelligence" community, legislature, and only a hand wavey stop it from the Obama admin?

You still like patterns?

Most of the bloat is covering bad or outdated architecture.

Imagine starting from scratch with Genode or what Google is doing with their new (3rd) OS.

bodi | 7 years ago | on: FoundationDB Summit: video roundup

I've only recently been evaluating FoundationDB for an upcoming project and have not yet gotten into the video roundup, so please forgive..

Is anyone using FoundationDB as a graphdb akin to Neo4j?

It seems to me Document Layers could be used to create virtual property edges from the underlying KV store?

Any thoughts/plans on how Foundation could be used as a graph in general?

Thanks!

Any indication if this backlit image sensor development was inspired by nature (the octopus here, for example) or was just an independent evolution of the technology?

I have a very healthy love for physics, and am simply attempting to draw your awareness to the complete subjectivity and awe of the universe.

To reallocate the code metaphor, at some point you step back from the monitor and realize you are certainly discovering how Photoshop was written while completely ignoring the images it creates, documenting the MP3 format, but ignoring the music, describing how the tree grows, while missing the forest.

You self scoped the question as “universe” and any field, subjective or absolute, where 3/4 of your hard problem stuff is unidentified, probably disqualifies you as a generalist expert so I think physics are the furthest from tautology as the universe and our existence can get.

It would be like a coder saying his codebase is 3/4 missing, let alone the runtime, OS, processor, being completely speculative, but then claiming to be an expert matter on computing.

No, you might very well be a micro expert relative to other micro experts in your small corner of your codebase, but on the universe of existence at large?

Perhaps some respect and humility to the whole process are due. ;)

> But if you want to understand the universe then physicists are the people you'll want to listen to...

Bold claim. I would like to ask physicists what chicken tastes like? Or why the mountains are beautiful? Or where the other 73% of our existence is?
