If you subscribe to the idea that the bit of your app that is coupled to the database should be very thin, then abstractions that live between that layer and the database tend to be a useless piece of excess complication. In the best case.
So buy it from them. It's a completely voluntary system that requires no permission to participate, has been from the start.

I assume 'fair' to you would mean taking it from them to re-distribute between everyone else?
Might be more like "we'd lose more than 500M while we build our own" so a 500M price tag makes sense to have it now.
Using a GraphQL schema to supercharge team collaboration
Everyone's moving to compete with Amazon. Only now, a year after Walmart bought Jet.com, Target is trying to get into the game too. Except all I see is a "me too" strategy, no thought leadership, no unique value proposition except "we're Target". It's not a competitive advantage, it's a not being left behind strategy.
This site is a hypocrite then because less than a third or even a quarter of the articles are about technical subjects. Most of their articles are about social justice.

This is typical for just about every "we need more women in X" campaign that I've seen.
Combination of currency manipulation, minimal ip enforcement, and lack of regulations and worker rights led American companies to start building factories in China, until they hit a critical mass.
Do you have any local friends who have the space & time to deal with lye or electrolysis? They might be willing to do so in exchange for a few beers or maybe a steak cooked in said cast iron skillet.

Another thought that comes to mind: Check our your local hackerspace, if you're a member of one. There might be someone there who likes to nerd out about cooking equipment who would have fun re-seasoning a cast iron skillet from scratch.

Merely not driving away minority groups isn't enough to fix the imbalances in representation. People don't avoid things because of future negative experiences, they avoid things because they expect to get negative experiences there. Like, if police magically started treating African Americans like they ought to overnight, there's a lot of built-up fear that would still have the African American community avoid interactions with police.

It's not just a behavior problem, but also a marketing problem. You can't fix a marketing problem without, you know, marketing.
I ran openwrt and then lede on a wrt1900ac v2 for about 1.5 years until last week. Initially, stability was spotty, but the latest Lede images worked generally well. However, while vlans with Lede worked perfectly with my two TP-Link WDR3600s, the Lede ultimately had issues with it. I tried one last thing, probably bricked it, and that was the last straw...ordered three Unifi aps and couldn't be happier.

OpenWRT/LEDE is great assuming your device is well-supported and well-tested. Unfortunately, the wrt1900ac line was never as open as Linksys claimed it was, the LEDE devs didn't get the support they needed from Linksys when they needed it, and so certain things still don't seem to work.

FDA moves to end snortable chocolate, calling it 'street drug alternative'
I have no idea whether there are services for this. I'll just offer this, based on my experience-

1) Electrolyzing is overkill. Steel wool and elbow grease is fine. If you really want to go to town, get a steel whisker brush for your hand drill.

2) Don't try to re-season it all in one day or weekend. After dinner in the evening, before you start watching some Netflix or checking Twitter, rub a coat of oil on it and run the oven for an hour. Set a timer so you don't leave it on by accident. In the morning the pan will be cool and ready for the next coat. Maybe 2-3 minutes of work per day that's easy to fit into your schedule.
What about agriculture? That industry has faced labour deficiencies for years, and the need is only growing with tightening controls on migrant labour. Interestingly, worldwide, women are more likely than men to work in agriculture, but in the USA the industry is overwhelmingly dominated by men.

Why isn't there a big push to get women into US agriculture like there is for US tech? Where is the government creating "farming" classes in school like they have done with coding?
Thank you that. My understanding is that the unit of work in git—the commit—is not actually immutable. Commits can be changed. Am I wrong about that?
These are observations, not models.

Given that the hockey stick turns out to be observed in other datasets, in fact all datasets, and no misconduct was found after an investigation, you're really not going to convince anyone that there was a "rigged model" unless they already thought that.

When you're directly interacting with the database tight coupling is always going to happen, and trying to hide that only adds needless complexity.

The nice part about using Linq and IQueryable instead of e.g. query strings, is that the compiler (and intellisense) can check for some errors at compile-time instead of run-time. Just have to make sure your database model is 1:1 with the actual database.

After you have the data you can throw it into a non-database DTO to re-couple a bit and pass it between layers.

Just to add to your '2)', some of those drugs maybe illegal in US, but legal in other countries, so you could probably now get cheaper medicine which isn't FDA approved.
I made a video that actually analyzes the data behind this. Basically the entry-level of the field is about 50% Chinese and the more experienced levels are about 10-20% Chinese. On the other hand only perhaps 5% of work actually comes from Chinese labs.

I've been experiencing this as well- seemingly with increasing frequency as they use their own "AMZL" delivery service.

It's rapidly discouraging me from ordering things from Amazon if I'm going to rely on the delivery date. Or casually ordering things (i.e. via Alexa) that I might not be paying attention to the delivery of.

I've had prime since it became available, and this is a very disappointing turn for Amazon from my point of view.

Ask HN: How do you show appreciation?
After getting a particularly well timed and well intentioned email that made my day a while back I've started to proactively seek ways to show appreciation to others. Not flattery, but taking the time to call out the folks that really make a difference in my life and work. I now have a daily task to "Write an email that makes someone's days!". But I'd love to hear other ideas. What have you found effective in showing appreciation?
It is a git issue... File system atomicity is not the issue: Creating a commit is a process of creating a whole collection of blobs and trees and ultimately a commit tree object, this is fundamentally the way git works. There are many external reasons it could fail half way through creating that tree of objects (objects are files) and that has nothing to do with atomicity of those external factors.

This type of incident is not irrecoverable, but it will hella-waste-your-fucking-time (FYI I really like git, but it's far from infallible)... Try it out and you will have a fun time following the trail of dangling objects.

My point is not that git is fundamentally flawed (fundamentally it's extremely resilient and elegant), but merely that "commit" being a porcelain command should provide a simple way to recover from arbitrary failure without having to dive deeply into the internals and plumbing commands (it's another CLI UI failure)... I knew what was wrong but it was such a pain to reconcile that I resorted to re-cloning, imagine what a confusing mess it would appear to a regular user.
Okay, so if a program means for an ibject to be immutable but it actually is mutable then it’s still immutable if you explain it in terms of basic CS theory.

Got it. Thanks for the attitude.
There is an decentralized AI/ML startup building something in this domain on top of Ethereum called Synapse.AI you'll want to check out if you're interested in Web3 stuff. They do both the data, algorithms, and other functionality to help autonomous agents grow.

Numerai also wants to monopolize Data and ML models in a decentralized way, and I believe that is also on Ethereum.

There is also Enigma, Doc.ai, and a few others if you're interested in this space.

Would they really? They already have a good amount of developers working on their apps and websites. Now this app will be consolidated as an extra feature on the Target app. I really seem to be missing something here. Jet acquisition made (atleast some) sense because it had much bigger employee count and showed it can run okay.

What I know for sure is that the investors are super happy with their returns.
Indeed. Still an easier title to grep with the "TV."
The title here is misleading, I think the article is right.

I didn't get into tech because it was interesting, at least not initially. I got into computers because the movie War Games was cool as hell and I wanted to be like Matthew Broderick's character in that movie. I was 5 or 6 when I saw it.

It was only after I got a Commodore 64 that I learned that it was going to be really difficult to do the things in the movie. But the idea that with enough practice I could be like that was very appealing. I don't think girls today have anything similar.

Let's be honest, very few children are that into math or computer science where it becomes an end unto itself. That comes much later. Younger males in the industry today seem to have grown up in the gamer->modder->hacker path that didn't really exist when I was a kid, and certainly doesn't exist for girls today.

And if you're asking the tech industry full of nerds to fix this problem for kids of any gender you're going to get something completely misguided.

Complain to Hollywood. When the military wants to recruit people they don't change to be more appealing, they help make "Top Gun."

This document has been a long-time coming, and finally lets us talk about the encryption we perform on your behalf when transiting outside our physical boundaries. There are lots of paths, but I think the diagram [1] captures it well.

Edit: Of particular note is that if you have a VM in say us-central1 talking to another of your VMs in us-east1, we encrypt that traffic across regions (even though it's riding our backbone).

That isn't really new... If you look at Machine tools, Europe generally has the strongest base because their history with them goes way way back (think...first cannons). There are manufacturers in the US (e.g., Haas, Gleason) but they are smaller market and either highly specialized or known for being good enough and less expensive (Haas).

The fact that this is the foundation of the tech economy does not augur well.
NTP uses UDP, so he was probably the victim of a spoofed NTP request amplification attack. He probably didn't have clients that we're actually requesting the time, the requests were just spoofed to look like they came from his IP.
They did. It was a major failure, costing them billions of dollars. Definitely makes you question their decision making abilities
The ISPs won't do anything that would hurt their business. For example throttling, Netflix and not HBO would mean that the users who use both would prefer another service that does not throttle both.

Too much regulation means lesser competition and eventually in the long run things would deteriorate because it would be really hard to innovate.

Regulation seems like the equivalent of deciding to maintain the status quo, while if Title 2 is not imposed, there is the future possibility to make changes based on what the ISPs end up doing. The examples mentioned in the article illustrate this. I don't know why there is this idea floating around that this is the end of the internet and nothing can be reversed or changed from here-on (In fact I think that would be the case if Title 2 and associated regulations remain )
What leads you to believe Target is better to it's employees than Amazon?
The point I'm trying to make is that if we are indeed to engage to appeal to a specific group, we need to make assumptions about that group.

Your example above is a different problem. In that situation we are trying to not be hostile to a specific group. That's really a much easier problem to identify (not solve) because hostile behavior is hostile behavior, no matter who you are. It's incredibly important to solve that problem, but there we really have a universal solutions: treat people with respect, regardless of sex, race, sexual orientation, etc. Build policies that enforce that respect and hopefully build to a cultural shift where respect is assumed.

But "appealing to minority groups" is another problem entirely. We're assuming that we have a problem that is due to some inherent bias in the way our culture has portrayed or encouraged a behavior. In this case that boys are more interested in tech because they got "STEM toys" as kids or that the toys that are available appeal more to boys or that the messaging surrounding tech is unconsciously biased towards boys. None of those problems involve being hostile towards girls. We also assume (correctly or incorrectly) that adjusting that bias could bring a better balance to this area.

That involves targeting a message or policy to a specific group. In that situation we've defined a problem: "girls are not interested in technology to the same extent that boys are" and are presumably trying to say "how do we get girls more interested in technology". I would argue that "don't be hostile" is only part of the problem, it does not address inherent cultural bias. If we assume that bias exists, then we need to make assumptions about girls and build solutions accordingly.
Most workplaces have been doing this "simple stuff" for decades and the problem appears to persist.
I love the subtle dig, using "porn or illegal downloading site" as a stand-in for "unscrupulous site". The two sets are not equal, and just saying "unscrupulous" would have served better.
I used to, but after trying it I no longer worry about it. Even boiling tomato sauce has no noticeable impact on the seasoning as far as I can tell.
Yes, California has a season I never had anyplace else I lived: Fire Season. I am completely happy to have left that behind.

But the reality is that edge cases of this sort usually are not a good place to start basing policy off of. There is a saying along the lines of "Hard cases make bad laws."

I am all for finding solutions to help get people off the street and help people in precarious situations to get the support they need so that they are less likely to wind up on the street to begin with. Reducing homelessness is a better goal for trying to reduce the odds of extremely bad things happening to begin with. That goal is mostly not furthered by policies that boil down to "The beatings shall continue until morale improves."

>Customer service would waste an hour of my time each time I called to ask and verify just so I could know whether I needed to go to a brick and mortar store to buy the item

Amazon customer service is just the worse. They seem to only know how to press two buttons: "refund order" or "ship item." Or maybe "cancel order" and "return" too. If you need something that doesn't get solved by one of those buttons you're going to have a really, really frustrating experience. Every person I ever talked to has a fundamental lack of understanding of the English language, way worse than your typical Indian call center. You ask a question and they just don't understand what you're asking, they get confused, and tell you some irrelevant information. It's a frustrating, time consuming, back and forth to ask a simple question and sometimes you don't even get an answer and your issue is literally never addressed.

It just astounds me that it's that bad.

But because they reflexively just press "refund order" most of the time the average person thinks they are getting good customer service...

In contrast, Walmart's free two day delivery has been on point.
The government is "in your internet" regardless. The question is not whether they regulate ISPs, but how they do so.

Also, the FCC has a long history of enforcing non-discrimination practices. In the past, a investigation was enough to force ISPs to treat all traffic equally. This worked until Comcast sued the FCC and won[0], forcing the FCC to formerly reclassify broadband providers as common carriers.

Wanting the internet to be the "way it was in the 90s-2010" is a pro net neutrality stance. As broadband providers were de facto common carriers as a result of DSL networks operating over phone lines.

So, do you have a lie score for this experiment?
Well, it's not just about who is right and who is wrong, not in this case. Comparing industry practices with those of scientific (especially theoretical) research may not make much sense. Plus, if you consider the way software is actually developed, you will see that the kind of honesty that is required or assumed in regard to a scientist cannot be practically expected from today's software engineer. Engineering is all about compromises, while science is not.
