No I never felt that, I LOVE talking to tipsy people, it's usually very fun. It's hard dealing with people drunk-to-the-point-of-black-out because they're unpredictable, rude and too silly to follow a nice conversation. Tipsy people are nowhere near intoxicated enough not to be able to follow a nice conversation, but are intoxicated enough that it adds a bit of spice to the conversation, imho.
Reminds me of a mostly science fiction concept that would technically help but probably wouldn't be too culturally accepted for varying reasons: creches and professional parent teachers. Essentially extending teaching to the point of having the "unfun" parts taken care of and educational involvement early on while still allowing the biological parents to play the fun uncle/aunt role. With dual career with kids households that already has a predecessor in daycare and babysitters spending more time with their children.

There are some fringe bonuses as well, people who are useful or have other good traits may not be the best for actually raising children. In a hypothetical basic income for most without an unautomatable skill that could produce another job pool.

It has some degree of precedent in the past with the elite having nannys handle most of the childrearing. That also lead to the less bizzare in context Oedipus Complex aspect of Freud. With upper middle class and downward lifestyles the common reaction is "How messed up do you have to be to come up with that conclusion?". But with a combination of genetic sexual attraction and lack of Westermarck effect it makes more sense.

That said while it may work on a technical labor and societal utility level there are many social obstacles and exploitable flaws. One of which is that parents tend to want to be involved with their child(ren)'s li(fe/ves).

Another is control and paying for it - personal attention is needed for best results compared to just enmasse orphanage style. Government provided is exploitable for shaping society in selfish ways. Large corporate providers would suffer from essentially the same issues but slightly different ways of seeking power.

Then there are questions of what sort of control should be allowable vs "the experts" which would be far more contentious than CPS. Private with most control requires income inequality by definition for small "class size" and would fail to provide it enmasse. Plus the competing curve between quality by exclusivity and quality by class size.

And finally there is the human element of emotional bonding, pride in few being willing to admit their child would be best off cared for by others, cultural transmission being valued, and the fact that frankly said positions would be a child molestor's dream beyond typical access to children jobs.
> With sufficient limitations on things like query size, nesting depth, and number of entities requested, it seems like you could have reasonable confidence that no pathological queries are valid.

Rarely good enough and in general a dangerous mindset that just adding layers around is an acceptable solution to essentially giving the world a query builder (internal use only is different of course).

> Security doesn’t seem like a problem unique to GraphQL

It's about surface area of permutations as much as the data. Sure you can auth property paths, but many GraphQL setups can be gamed by malicious callers to strain systems in ways you never expected those client side devs to do when you gave it to them. If the only reason for this flexibility is because they can't be bothered to do a bit of server side tailoring, you have a dev fragmentation problem and a vertical integration problem that will cause security concerns one day anyways.
No offense taken, and I'll be the last person to argue that anyone working in a country as wealthy as the USA shouldn't be able to afford a modest home, good healthcare, access to education, and some wiggle room for savings, at a minimum.

>Why is this interesting or surprising? Of course almost all challengers have hacky tech under the hood because they don't have the resources

First, we're talking about a multi-billion dollar company here (they've raised ~ 15 B), not some small "challenger".

Second, your example is the iPhone and Facebook. Those don't have the potential to kill their owners or run over people.
My respect for Elon just dropped 10x (still high) because I know he is a fan of Windows.
I agree with Noel about PLAI. It might be an excellent follow-up.

You could also look into the Racket Guide for transitioning to Racket.

If you want to keep working on more complex interactive programs, instead, the lux module (https://docs.racket-lang.org/lux/index.html) might be more efficient than 2htdp/universe. The latter is just amazing, but not intended to be used in contexts where performance may matter, at least in its current implementation.
Great hunt!
The question is whether Facebook is a communications company or a media company. Are they like GMail, where they aren't responsible for everything that goes through their pipes, or are they like Vice, where they clearly are?

Facebook obviously wants the publicity of a media company and the legal protections of a communications company. Which is obviously stupid, but that's the weird situation we're in.
I used to see that among the <18 crowd, but Snapchat has evaporated weirdly quickly. I'm only hearing about Insta and a long tail of other apps. Lots and lots of conventional texting/iMessage.
Been there, done that.
We can help. :)
This is a great summary of the reasons why I initially dismissed GraphQL, and why I'm now a fan - having gone through a process of evaluating it against REST for a production API for a mobile app.

Great post.
>My social experiment with my own children is still very early,

So I had a profound life lesson at around 7 or 8 years old. I had grown up near a corner store with a lot of nickel candies, so most of my weekly dollar allowance went to candy. I had learned how to optimize that dollar, how many laffy taffy, vs tootsie rolls, vs licorice, vs jolly rancher... so I knew how much satisfaction a dollar could buy. One day, we were going through a jack in the box drivethru and they had an ad for a stuffed Pinocchio for $5, and I begged my dad for it. He in turn said something to the effect of, "if I give you the $5 dollars would you still buy it?", and my mind immediately started thinking about all the things I could buy with $5. I could buy all the candy I could want, and still have some quarters left over for the stand up arcade games. Needless to say, I didn't really want the Pinocchio doll, certainly not for the price when it was my money.

Sadly, I have no idea how to reproduce this lesson with my daughter. She has so many people showering her with stuff, that she has no concept of how to maximize her utility with the money she has. And no one seems to keep the diverse array of cheap candy anywhere any more, which makes me kind of sad.
FWIW, the amazing social health system in Germany doesn't really seem to be improving birth rates that much.
I didn't make any claims about the pay for all SAG members, but only that they are absolutely a union that highly ambitious, highly-paid people willingly join (counter to the parent poster's claim that unions don't appeal to such people).

Also, yeah, a handful of tech company owners make more than actors? So? Does that matter at all to the rank and file, who, by fault of not acting collectively, are leaving money on the table year after year? "Your boss is a billionaire, don't unionize" is the argument to make here?
>I think you would be surprised how many payment systems are tied together (e.g. (insecure) FTP servers to sync daily payments).

It's not like those matter. The bank itself guarantees the integrity of your account and can reverse charges. And of course would be insured for such losses.

This did not require the PATRIOT act. The law that enables search in this way was written in 1930 and was mostly the same prior.

Fundamentally, whether you agree or not, it has been a long-standing tradition that customs (anywhere you go) has the ability to inspect _everything_ that comes through. That is their job. We hear about it more in the USA, but it can and does happen elsewhere.

Now, I believe that this is a bit outdated considering the nature of phones today, but it is what it is.

Color are colors only because visible light reaches your sensor (eye, camera) and it's interpreted as one color or another. And this should already hint at where I'm going.

So whether you have a laser emitting a specific visible wavelength, or a sheet of paper absorbing some, in the end visible light will reach you and you can say "hey look, it's red". Different visible wavelength reaches your retina, different color.

Now imagine you had true black light source (paradoxically) "emitting" no visible wavelength. Or you had a sheet of paper covered with true black ink, absorbing all visible wavelengths. What kind of visible photons would you register? What wavelength of visible light would reach you?

Since no photons get to your sensor how exactly do you define that color other than "absence of color"? Or are you you talking about a convention that "the absence of color" would in itself be called a color, in this case black?
Does anything about this thread really surprise you though? As to be unbelievable? Do you think that other car manufacturers are that much better? I've read so many insane stories about software in Toyotas (or was it Honda?), and those are very old, very well established companies. That a company like Tesla would have rock solid software would be a miracle.
Secretary and nurse were pretty high far enough for women and neither could progress much further.

Isn't it then still educated men marrying educated women relative to gender possibilities? The different seem to be only that women had lower level of education in general.

Sounds like you need to build up a network of other freelancers who you can share/sub-contract work to.
And ideally who can share their work with you, send work your way when they are too busy, or the work suits your skill-set more.
They'll recognize the chords instantly, without even having to glance at the printed notes. In practice, these things are usually called "charts" or lead sheets (if they have a melody) because they chart out the changes, which you solo over. They usually are found in "fake books", where it's assumed that the melody transcription is relatively awful, but it's close enough that a decent musician can quickly figure out the actual tune from it (assuming they've heard it before).

You'll almost never hear any seasoned jazz players refer to a chart like this as a "score", unless they have a very very classical background, or are sort of making a joke about the quality of a particular lead sheet. Scores are for orchestras and films and things like that. It's strange to see people keep referring to these sh*tty transcriptions as 'scores'.

It's like calling Kraft Mac 'n' cheese "pasta". Like, ok maybe technically it could qualify as a pasta, but you don't really refer to it as that in practice.
Custom as in customized Oracle/SAP, or custom as in from-the-ground up custom?

The former is generally a given for a company of any significant size (employees or business activity). The latter is unheard of for most backoffice functions (other than specialized accounting and finance functions) since it's a waste of money and would place the company at significant legal and regulatory risks--it would require effectively becoming experts in accounting, HR, etc.
>How is this different from "influencers" who are required to disclose when they are paid to advertise a product on social media?

It's not, except a social media influencer is not a multi billion dollar company exploiting it workers, they just advertise crap to people.

That said, both practices should be banned.
The iPhone has to reliably connect for emergency calls and provide accurate location. That can be life or death. In fact, "Apple isn't ready to engineer phones at a life-or-death standard" was a fairly common critique of the iPhone in the early days. In response, Apple ran a little PR campaign around their radio engineering efforts--they had a web page that showed all the cool-looking rooms for testing radios, which they invited a couple reporters to tour, etc.
IMO the best strategies for people who aren't in the top 1% are extreme strategies. Our strategy is: single income, live in a neighborhood with bad schools for cheaper housing, then homeschool the kids.

"Jane Doe and John Does 1-2 provided Ms. Lazoja a receipt (No. 1199376) dated
February 26, 2018, documenting CBP’s seizure of her iPhone and SIM Card, and indicating the
iPhone and SIM Card were “Sent to DHS Lab.” (Rejhane Aff. ¶ 27); see Ex. A."

They took her phone and retained it for 130 days. Presumably, during that time they copied all of the data off of the phone (and perhaps also decypted that data). Regardless, the plaintiff argues that keeping the phone for that period of time without a warrant was unconstitutional in the first place.
It goes back many decades before the Patriot act.

Priorities don't help. They are only relevant if there are more runnable threads than CPUs. In my case I had lots of spare CPUs so both threads could run, regardless of priority.

A QOS does not directly help. The only thing I am aware of that can help is fair locks, or occasionally fair locks, so that the lock is given directly to the waiting thread, instead of being made available to all.

I have yet to hear of any other solutions.
How does that solve the problem? It's Amazon employees tweeting good things about "warehouse working conditions".

That gives more legitimacy to their paid for BS for those reading it, not less.

("If the very people who work at Amazon say it's good working conditions, then it must be good")
That is very nice idea as well. I didn't consider that, but definitely I could pull tests from the test files and display some parts of that. I wouldn't make the full START_FULL bit, it'd be a bit overkill for my use case/resources (or I'd simplify it to something like <test-case from="1" to="4">).

I think it is important where you start a project as well. Many times I will write the docs even before writing any code (totally or partially). If I think the docs and snippets are going somewhere I'll continue with the code. So in a way, it makes more sense for me to pull the data like docs -> code -> tests than the other way around. That way I know where I want to go, and then I try to get there. Examples of my projects like this [1] [2].

I'll very likely try it though, so thank you!

For the record, I used quotes on "mommy track" specifically to avoid that conclusion.

It doesn't have to be gender specific. It doesn't even have to require one to be a parent per se. It would require that we set up a track that is friendly to people in that exact position, one where going to school part-time was financially feasible without having a well-heeled spouse or parents, in essence.

And I intend for this to be my last comment in this discussion. The uncharitable reading of my remark and the degree to which I am being personally attacked* and dismissed makes it nigh impossible to keep my cool and try to engage in good faith, especially given that I'm simply exhausted at the moment. So I'm just not at my best today.

I don't want to call it an unwillingness or inability, because they are good people who do good work. I really just think that at our scale, we move with the world, and the world isn't agile nor does it care about agile, it just is. So really, we aren't agile because the world isn't agile.

For example, we were preparing to run some world cup soccer promotions based on the teams that won. We literally had to wait until a soccer match finished in order to deliver our changes. How do you practice agile with that kind of restriction?

> A GraphQL API (server) implementation, out of the box, will have better performance than a standard REST API - for the clients. Since resolvers are called in parallel, data will load faster.

What does this mean? Are these theoretical REST endpoints fetching information serially, or something?

Almost all of our REST endpoints fetch all of their information in a single hand-optimized SQL query. How is GraphQL going to run faster than that?

248 days of uptime by any chance?

edit: I saw the same on a fleet of thousands of JVMs which hung on 100% CPU after 248 days very consistently. Closest thing to an explanation I ever got was perhaps it is storing uptime in hundredths of a second (why not ms???) in signed 32 bit integers, see: https://ma.ttias.be/248-days/
In the end we solved it by restarting with a cronjob between 2am and 4am after 247 days...

Hi, it seems to me that you're not charging enough. That's just enough for yourself, and not really enough for a small dev shop. I'd like to hear other people's experiences from HN, but in my opinion, you should have some capital to pay for another engineer as a part of your small business.

I wouldn't "run and gun" with contracts, because as soon as you've got an employee and it's not just yourself (or at least a co-founding partner) you're not just responsible for delivering solutions to clients, you're responsible for supporting employees.

I'd continue to do what you're doing, raising prices until you've saved up capital, bring on an employee and start raising prices to make a small development firm economically feasible.
Amazon FC Ambassador means nothing. Most of those glancing at the tweets wont pay attention to the title, just see an overall good message. Many wont know that FC means, or what's an Ambassador in this context (e.g. it could even be like some "employee of the month" thing for fulfillment centers.

MODCON: Revenge of the Boring Moderator
I think it'd be pretty intuitive that there would be radically different rates for things among different groups, but sure check out page 7/8 of the felony document I originally linked. The rate of individuals being arrested for a new offense ranged from 13%-21%, felony rearrest rates ranged from 10%-13%, and so on.

One other thing you have to look at as well is the time frame. As time goes on you get closer to the real 'risk' rates. That's also detailed at the top of page 7. For instance only 8% of those those that would be rearrested were rearrested within a week, which goes to 29% in a month, 62% in 3 months, and 85% in 6 months.

Again it's very disappointing that the data aren't more clearly quantified and classified across documents.
