Oh wait. Nothing needs to be learned and there are always cases for higher up abstractions. Especially SQL which can get extremely complex if it needs to.

What is the problem of hundreds or even thousands of migrations?? Point of writing migration files is that you can start from empty database, execute every migration file and end up with the current production database structure. So If you have 1000 migration files, writing 1000 and first is easy for the current sprint, you have state X and just need to write a diff for the next state.

And I have written many migrations in systems with tens of different db`s/schemas in the same project which could be different based on the geographical region or some other requirement and never had any big problem
Agreed. Found this to be a problem and fixed it by switching it off three years ago. Seems to be a bigger problem on larger systems than small systems. We had a 64-core server with 384GB RAM, and running too many JVMs made the khugepaged go into overdrive and basically cripple the server entirely - unresponsive, getting 1% the work done, etc.
I'm not convinced about the point of structured operation format.

I agree that manually building SQL strings can be cumbersome. But in practice you can use libraries that allow you to easily create them programmatically.

The JSON queries of MongoDB on the other hand, while they are simple to use programmatically, they are a pain to use outside of your program, for example for running ad-hoc queries, or generating a report from your data. And there is no library to fix this.

Where'd you get the assets?
Nothing comes for free. If your schema doesn't live in your DB, then it lives in your app code. In the end of the day, you have to handle data model changes.
It sure must be fun to go for track days, especially if you live near the Nordscleife but there's one critical element that you won't get into unless you're a semi-professional racing driver: the competition. Yes, hotlapping can be a competition but wheel to wheel racing is where the fun is at.

Someone already replied to you about how detailed iRacing can get. Some other sims are also quite good, but IMO none come close to iRacing's fidelity let alone the great online competition with safety ratings and sanctioned series.

You absolutely do have to care about tire temperatures, bumps on the road, dirty/clean/hot/cold track (e.g. shadows are cold) and brake temperatures. Especially once you get into the single seaters like Star Mazda or Formula Renault, where you have to start with cold, underpressurized tires because for competitive times you need an aggressive car setup that only starts working once you're warmed up.

It's no substitute for track days, but no-one in their right mind would let me take a 1966 Lotus 49 Formula 1 car (only a handful in existance) on the Nordschleife, let alone go wheel-to-wheel with others on one.

Why We'll See AI in Security Operation Centers Sooner Rather Than Later
Yes I read this at the time and felt exactly as you do. There's no evidence of special intelligence in the story he tells. It's a story only someone who has been ever-so-slightly brainwashed could tell.

There is of course evidence of Bezos' intelligence in the fact of Amazon.
That can work with good students, but at most institutions, students don't do the reading and hence most learn nothing through this approach. It's the kind of thing that people who were good students tend to suggest because it would be ideal for them, but we have to think
about the other 80% of the class.

The course I'm currently teaching has, in addition to lectures, weekly two hour seminars where people are supposed to do homework/reading and then ask questions about it. (Not my design, that's just how it's timetabled.) But students don't do the homework or the reading. So, I seriously doubt that switching the whole course to this approach would work.

I don't understand your last paragraph.
I dislike the style of note taking described in the article, i.e. mindlessly writing down what the professor is saying.
I don't believe however that this is necessarily tied to typing rather than writing with pen and paper.
I have a lecture where no notes or textbook is provided and it is required that you copy everything written on the board. Personally I'm not great at writing fast, so I usually lag behind a bit with writing which makes it that much harder to follow along with what the professor is saying. In a situation like this, writing with pen and paper may be worse than typing (except the specific course I'm talking about is maths and short of writing LaTeX in real time, handwriting is necessary).

From my personal experience as a student the most effective way for me to take notes is to annotate existing material, i.e. slides or lecture notes.
In some classes where material is available beforehand that would be possible by printing it all, bringing it to class, annotating it and then digitalizing it again to make it searchable (and create backups).
However I feel this is highly inefficient and a massive waste of paper. Suppose there are roughly 60 slides per lecture, 8 lectures a week across courses and I can get roughly 4 slides on a sheet of paper in such a way that I can work with them comfortably; that is 120 pages of paper a week!

For many lectures where material is not provided in advance, but only at the beginning of the lecture, presumably to prevent students to only selectively attend the lectures it would be impossible to work in the way I find to be best for me.

That is not to say, the problems described in the article don't exist. I remember many instances of people browsing social media rather than following the lecture. Ignoring any detriment it has on themselves (it is their choice to not pay attention after all) we are left with the negative impact it has on others.

As I outlined in another comment, there are approaches to combating this that I feel to be more appropriate than a blanket ban.
One is to have people using electronic devices to sit somewhere else, usually behind people not using them, so they can only distract other people using electronic devices. This offers people the choice of either using their devices and being potentially exposed to visual noise or not use them and be free from these distractions.

I also had a professor that disallowed electronic devices for everything but slides of the lecture and related material. I can only hypothesize how he managed to do this consistently, but I believe he was able to tell by the expressions on peoples' faces and if people sitting nearby stole glances at other screens.

This is a small sample of airports; would be interesting to know how they were selected.

> airports big and small from all around the world

Well, presumably mostly big.

The CIA Facebook shows 13500 airports for the USA alone, and 6 countries with more than 1000 [0]. So, when you count smaller airports (potentially untowered, or unpaved runways), there is way more than what's listed here.

Most countries (ICAO members) maintain an AIP (Aeronautical Information Publication, [1]) which lists the bigger airports in a country (and definitely the international ones with immigration and customs facilities) in part AD (aerodromes) and is often readily downloadable from the pertinent national civil aviation authority [2].

However, information on smaller airfields is often quite hard to come by.

I've flown small airplanes around in southern Africa and Thailand, and relied on websites, books, and aviation clubs to find coordinates for airfields. See eg. the Airfields Directory of Southern Africa [3] or Tom Claytor's list at the bottom of the Thai Flying Club website [4].

The Internet is whatever people will engage with. That is something the creators and early adopters (30-50 year olds) will have to come to grips with, as we did when Gopher and other protocols were ignored.
Slightly off-topic, but once ActiveRecord(Rails) - always ActiveRecord. After years of developers complaining about SQL DBs being "difficult" and MongoDB allowing to "easily prototype", I still don't get what's hard about working with PostgreSQL if you use something like Rails.
I wholeheartedly agree. What I really want is a super conservative LTS system that keeps the core - OS, window manager, file manager, network, etc - on super stable and old versions, and my apps - Firefox, Emacs, Spotify, ... - updated to the latest release. I'm tired of "new" desktop environments, and rewrites that means I'll now have to live with years of bug fixing until I get a stable system.

I'm hoping that Ubuntu slowly becomes this, especially with the move to the very stable Gnome 3.
HOWTO: Prevent your secrets being exposed in code repositories
Actually you can, just don’t use Apples OS.
Not all workloads require powerful CPU's: there are plenty of servers that are bandwith-limited (either network or I/O), like static webserving or mail-relay, and plenty workloads where performance is of secondary concern (like out-of-band batch processing, backup systems).
yaaay for something that covers the winter stop :)
I understand what migrations are. I just disagree that they are trivial.

Especially since you need to write the rollback script as well. And then test it with data. And then ensure there are no weird interactions with other migrations. Because if there is a problem with any one of them then it can be a huge headache to unwind everything.
I'm not an advocate for BI but I think I've given you an accurate summary of what BI proponents would say about a NIT. E.g. listen to this Econtalk episode[1] where the host / guest have a debate on this exact topic.

Your argument that BI would be revenue neutral for some taxpayers and therefore we should just use NIT to avoid the sillyness of the government taking $1 from you just to give $1 right back to you isn't wrong, but it's missing what BI proponents are trying to achieve.

It's mainly about achieving roughly the same ends with different optics, and the comparison to Social Security is often brought up. Enacting any system like this is going to be politically difficult, and BI proponents believe that "everyone gets the same" is an easier sell than "this is another subsidy for the poor".

I switched from Fedora to Ubuntu for this. All I want is a canonical (no pun intended) Linux distro so that app developers doesn't have to target a gazillion variations. So I really want to see Ubuntu succeed.

Exactly this is what I meant with "inherent violence in the capitalist system".
Recall how McDonald's is more of a real estate company than a restaurant company. Owning the land which is then leased out to franchisees isolates failure with the franchise's owner while funneling franchise fees into buying more real estate, which creates a positive spiral whereby the value of McDonald's is always growing because the it keeps adding more and more lands as assets.

If WeWork buys real estate to operate co-working quasi-franchises on that real estate, and uses the profits to fund further asset acquisition, then that's a pretty similar model.

Well the 747 is pretty old-tech by today's airliner standards ( mockingly called a gas-guzzler ) but a 747-400 burns roughly 9,600 to 11,500kg of fuel per hour in the cruise per public-domain figures.

If we round the latter to 12,000 per hour and convert to litres at a density of 1.23 for kerosene, that's 43 litres per passenger for a British Airways -400 with 345 seats, which is fairly low density due to a large number of suites and business seats:

https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/British_Airways/British_Ai...

That 43 litres propels that passenger 510 nautical miles in one hour, 945km. 22km per litre.

Now, an Air Canada 777-300ER which is a generation on from the 747-400 burns about 8,500kg per hour with 458 passengers... And an A350-1000 should beat that by about 15% when it enters service.

The efficiency of even semi-modern airliners is remarkable.
I've seen the numbers for this a few times, but never any mention of paternoster lifts.

I know the traditional design is mostly extinct due to safety concerns, but I've always thought there's potential for e.g. making larger cars (say, big enough for a wheelchair), spacing them out, and having them speed up and slow down between stops, so they can linger for a few seconds rather than having to hop on and off (which I found a little daunting at first ;) ).

Has anyone done a floor space vs height comparison of such lifts?
Most of the migrations do not involve fiddling with data (for example adding a column, table). But if they do, yes you will spend more time on them. But it will be on the order of magnitude better then doing the same thing in MongoDB where you just have implicit schema

A liability is something you pay to keep, while an asset is something you get paid to keep. Simple and obvious examples are stocks that pay dividends and a loan that accumulates interest. How to identify into which bucket a house, a car or a company investment fall is the hard part, that was the point I was trying to make. Rich people understand this and leverage it.

The original quote is:

The rich buy assets. The poor only have expenses. The middle class buys liabilities they think are assets.

It's not moot: Dapper doesn't auto-generate the query for you, it's just a thin layer over .NET's SqlClient to reduce boilerplate of converting to and from C# objects.

You still have to write your SQL statements, and in your example you'd still be able to refer to your array by name:

select SomethingID where AnotherThing in @yourNamedArrayParameter

If you're not using Dapper just use a user-defined table type to hold your data and join on it instead of using WHERE IN.
