I'd say it's a hack, and so is the whole quantum "you can't find both momentum and position of a particle" thing. There's something weird about the Simulator's 256-bit computer that we're running on that makes a constant C and some quantum physics oddities run faster. They didn't think it would matter, but we figured it out.

> A row is the DBMS's model of an entity in the domain. An object is an object-oriented programming language's model of an entity in the domain.

There's why we disagree. I believe the DBMS's model shouldn't be conflated with the application's model. Sometimes the row is an entity in the domain; however consider a normalised data structure, where the entity as the application understands it may span a couple of tables. Or involve data from another source.

My understanding is ORMs were originally developed to handle the mapping between domains, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-relational_impedance_mi....

DataMappers also shine when working against a legacy database or one that cannot be changed. But ActiveRecord is a heck of a lot simpler to work with.

> Modelling the domain should drive both application and database structure

I am luke-warm on this coupling; too often it leads to the application structured around the database representation, as you point out. Sometimes this is sensible (e.g. a data-processing system), but in my experience it comes back to bite later on.

I'm interested to hear your experience - do your application models match the database structure?

> I've seen a lot of people during my engineering days who just wouldn't work under the pressures required to design a system with extremely high reliability.

I think the difference is that most engineers understand when high reliability is necessary, even if they can't deal with the pressure of implementation. An MBA whose job is to "move the ship faster" simply isn't going to understand the distinction between parts of the system that can be thrown together, and parts that absolutely can't.

Hard to hire the right people when the majority of MBA's aren't engineering undergrads.
I imagine it's the same thinking on the other side. HRs thinking that they lose that leverage if they give you a range. As in, they could have hired you cheaper?

I think for online-to-offline startups you have to look at both sides of the equation (maybe inequality is a better term). The interface is less important than the physical fulfillment of the product or service. Cragislist is a perfect example of this. In your example, I'd be more interested in how the food tastes, and how well delivery works.

I was involved in social services in the 90's on a reservation and "genetics" was one of those fun ways for people to give up (both the alcoholic and service providers "waste of money of those people"). I'm not terribly convinced seeing how different families have gone.

I could believe "still living there when he was 25". Might be a corrupted context statistic.

The life expectancy for males in the county (whole reservation) is 71-72 years. If 50% are dying in their "stupid nearly adult years" they are going to have to have bunch living past 100 to bring the average up.
I'm sure in the short term they would be fine, but when they need to renegotiate their contract eventually and then they'll be dealing with Google.

The organization that most of us know as Mozilla is heavily dependent on the revenue brought in by their search bar. They know this and are trying to diversify (ads in the browser, third party integrations like pocket and hello). I don't know how much DuckDuckGo could spend on a contract with Mozilla, but I doubt its near how much (previously) Google and Yahoo! have spent.

[2016] Video Editing Software for Beginners
PHP 7 has been very stable, but a serious bug was discovered close to launch that made them delay the release by two weeks. There have been no serious issues found since that time, so release should be imminent.
No not at all :)

Slavishly mapping a row in a database table to an application object is bad. Off the top of my head, an example could be a Product, where the tables are something like:

product - main product details
product_option - options (e.g. Size, Colour)
product_option_values - values for that specific option instance

In my application I don't care about the database structure - whether the tables are normalised or storing everything in one huge serialized blob (or CouchDB, or ElasticSearch or... you get the picture). Instead you want to get the options and save changes straight back when editing the product.

Now this is where my example breaks down as the Product needs to 'know' about what options are available (either to provide a nice API or to know what to display in the UI) and my schema doesn't allow for that (save a Product.getAllOptions() method) but I'll leave that as an exercise for my reader :)
> What they really need is a big employer to set up shop there: rising tide floating all boats, etc.

The casinos on some reservations have had a positive impact. At least there is a good employer in the area for those wanting a regular life. In my opinion (as an outsider) the best thing for them is to go to college off the reservation.

Given that, is there a specific genetic study saying the genetic condition is inherited in Native Americans (and I guess specifically the Lakota)?
My office setup is almost exactly what you describe. Switch out the macbook for an imac and then add a height adjustable desk, some headphones, and a hydroflask.

The article though was pretty effective in making me want to try the app since I make a handful of pdfs and exporting from photoshop is a pain since I always forget the settings I want to use to make the file not gigantic.

But to your point, I kind of like the idea that people can make a business like this and eke out a nice income and have happy customers. It reminds me of a tooth whitening supply company I temped for a while back. They had 4 employees and were 100% happy with the number of customers they had and would get more via tradeshows, dentists liked their product, and the profits were really good. I imagine the owners knew that at a certain size managing the business would not allow them to live the lifestyle they enjoyed, so they just maintained it as is.
I was a rookie programmer thinking I was hot shit for a bank a long time ago and the 'old hands' were pretty much like you describe.

But they were right and it took me a while to appreciate this. Even so after two years I left my job to start my first company but the experience gained over those two years was worth gold later on and the combined knowledge of those people was immense.

I'd suggest you take a different attitude for a bit, assume they are really trying to teach you, engage them and eat up as much of their time as they're willing to give to educate you. Then, when you've really absorbed all there is to be absorbed (that could be today, I can't tell from your description) look for another place where you again can learn a lot. That's the best reason to change employers: that you've reached a plateau in what you can learn on that job.

I highly recommend looking into Inform7, effectively a text adventure IDE (though the community tends to call it "interactive fiction").

The language is a bit odd, and attempts to "read like English", but it provides so much scaffolding I feel like it's worth it.
This is what I like to do for the exact same reasons. I get some alone time and I've found I enjoy studying various things during this time.

My issue is always that I find it hard to keep a straight sleep schedule. Even when I was young I was like that, it's like my circadian rhythm is longer than 24 hours and I have to force it to reset.

sucks, but when I'm able to get up early I love it.

They could almost certainly make a lot more money if they were willing to compromise even a little in the direction of usability.

They aren't, though, so they're making a conscious decision to forgo that money in order to keep their vision (as maddeningly abstruse as it is) intact. In that respect Dwarf Fortress is a lot more like an art project than a commercial game.
I think you've hit on one of the main reasons people get uncomfortable talking about genetic explanations for behavioral differences; it starts to sound like you're saying that some groups can't be helped or that there's an implied ranking of populations. Neither, of course, follows.
Hey you can read it however you like, but I find an expectation from an established player that the current released version is bug-ridden and may corrupt your save to be... scary. How many saves must he have had corrupted in the past? That's just not cool, man.

This is a problem for many languages that have external libs requiring local compilation (C, C++, etc.), given many of them are principally developed on Linux, with Windows compatibility being an afterthought. Its a problem not unique to Python.

They seem to only be collecting screen resolution, viewport size and whether ads are showing client side (tested by trying to load a file called ads.js that inserts a div into the dom). I assume server-side they combine this with user agent string and ip address.
Yeah, I know. The poster to whom I was responding was gleeing about a "dot release" having a bunch of features, and that that's something only a "text-based game" (and DF isn't a text-based game, unless your text-based games normally support tilesets or the IBM upper-ASCII set and run inside of SDL) can do. Which is trivially untrue, both in terms of pumping up the impact of the DF release and downplaying what others do.

Honestly, I'm kind of done with DF until it's more of a game, precisely because of these rabbit holes. I respect what they're doing, but aside from the first "oh, what's new?!" moments, the same core issues with the actual game persist. The "significant subsystems" don't make it play any better, so we're in ant-farm territory and not in a great way.

There are still a lot of employers who see time spent on your own venture as a gap in employment history. I mean, I guess it literally is, since you aren't an "employee". But they completely discount any applicable experience during that time.

Epic Invitation for the NYC Functional Programming Holiday Party [Text]
This year Clojure NYC, Haskell NYC and Lisp NYC are combining resources and joining types to bring you a wonderfully provable holiday party.

The variable festivities will be captured at the Shareablee office and will start lazily at 6:00PM. We will provide an assortment of curried appetizers and homoiconic beverages.

We encourage you to bring your own harder order bottles for recursive indulgence and dynamically obtained treats for statically distributed consumption.

Dress code is optional but we strongly recommend functional casual.

The festivities at Shareablee will end at 10:00PM, but maybe many of us will surely head out to a local establishment of questionable repute in order to realize the remaining sequence of the evening .

So please do join us for chocolate flavor parentheses, sugar-coated monads, higher order beverages, merrily stimulating networking, immutably intoxicating conversations, repeatedly terrible puns, but a macro jolly time.

Correlations with eye color may also be _facts_, but this does not mean that they are important. And (hopefully by definition, since these are all just physical attributes), such correlations (as ridiculous as it sounds) should be no more, or less, important than racial, gender, age or other correlations. They're all just tools to oppress minorities and treat people as groups rather than individuals, which is good for a single brain trying to make sense of the world but bad for the individuals in the group.

Are you aware of the blue eyes/brown eyes experiment by teacher Jane Elliott? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Elliott

In any event, the problem, if any, is cultural and economic, NOT racial. I lived with a white Irish guy who grew up in an entirely black neighborhood, and if you closed your eyes you would have zero doubt he was black. One of the coolest (and most mind-blowing) guys I've ever met.

Have you read "Night" by Elie Wiesel? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_(book) The Nazis had plenty of correlations (I'm sorry, _FACTS_) to being Jewish, put it that way... and we all know how that ended up.

The only racial correlative that makes any sense to track, to me, is sickle-cell anemia, because it is helpful.

The problem is your brain (and my brain, and everyone's brain). As soon as you learn of an unfortunate correlation with race (or sex... did you know almost all rapists are men? Did you know most people interested in math and science are male? Etc.), you tend to lean on it too much to make judgments across ALL of the correlate, and therein lies the serious problem, because the outliers get _the_shaft_. The well-meaning black man experiences bias on a daily basis and gets worse jobs, the science-interested woman gets scoffed at and thus discouraged by male teachers, and the good gentleman never gets the girl because she crosses the street before actually meeting him out of fear.

So, fucking quit it, man. It's not helpful, in any way, shape, or form. It is disingenuous to all humans, to restrict a handful of them based on a correlation with a physical attribute. It's giving in to the laziness of your brain trying to oversimplify a complex world. It's actively evil, in fact, the equivalent of grouping all Koreans together and calling them "gooks" because the idea that you're shooting actual humans is just too distasteful a thought.

Don't you see? It's ENTIRELY easier for you to not hire an entirely qualified black man, if you're spouting this bullshit.

I am currently in the process of educating my coworkers on newer technologies and methodologies, and it may work in my favor.

Amen, brother!

I'm so tired of serving up bugs on a platter complete with working examples, only to have them blown off because the vendor's tech support people are conditioned to view all problems as "PEBKAC", and all customers as know-nothing crybabies. I loathe condescending tech support people.
It is interesting how these sorts of things travel. When I talk to people about North St. Louis I get the impression that they think 1 out of every 2 people who live there are killed in a drive-by shooting, so I understand why someone would believe that half of all men on a reservation die before they're 25. It can't possibly be true, though.
Did he also list what those models are? :)
"There are fewer interest groups looking out for the latter..."

As an introvert, I find the implicit plurality of "they" more disturbing than gender ambiguity of the known-singular "he/she". I'm not a group, I'm a singular self, and the speaker/author shouldn't apply a plural to a known singular; being an anonymous audience/subject, gender ambiguity is more understandable.
