I do something similar with Rails and Postgres. I've never been good at publicizing tools I've built.

I think the biggest problem with Rails is Arel and by making it easier to write raw queries that serve json straight from the database you get great performance, composability and its still all really simple.

I don't need GraphQL because its so easy to write in one one endpoint everything I need to get back from my database and then write endpoints for all the smaller endpoints.

But yeah my project is basically handlebars meets SQL. I'm currently working on writing my own template language and hope to port it to other common languages.

https://github.com/monsterboxpro/monster-queries

I get really depressed working on projects with a million small endpoints or they take the other extreme of using GraphQL.

I'm quite tired of Full-stack development since things are taking 100x more effort and not because things are getting more complicated because they can't see the simpler solution.
Isn't that complaint, valid as it is, a separate issue? Also it's rather localized, to France (and possibly a few other countries).

I can be fired with one month warning, and I have the same one month notice if I want to quit. That seems fair for both parties.

In theory you could operate such a service maliciously. For example you could withhold all papers advocating some viewpoint. If for example all papers advocating that sugar is harmless are freely available and all papers advocating that sugar is harmful can't be accessed, that might shift the perceived consensus. Or much more advanced and also more insidious: you could serve modified versions of some papers, either making them less credible or changing their conclusions completely.

However, there is no indication that sci-hub is doing anything of the sort. And the more researchers are using sci-hub, the quicker such a thing would become obvious.

You can only win as a "gig economy" as long as you find a weak spot (a.k.a loophole) in regulations and use it. That loophole will close, and the business will either need to expand or converge to a traditional business of the kind it displaced. AirBnB will be like any other apartment rental place. Uber will be (and is already in many places) like any other Taxi company. It should be called the "loophole upstart economy". What they do is grow at a breakneck sped into an area where there is regulation that can be abused. The trick is to grow so fast that regulation can't keep up (in the US you can even grow so fast that eventually you'll be big enough to lobby your own regulation).

As an example:
In Stockholm where there are no Taxi mediallions (anyone can be a taxi or car hire service in any way they want as long as they regiser and comply with insurance, standardized meters, and other regulations) and the competition alreay has new cars, app-based booking etc - there is precious little margin for Uber to cut from, compared to a city with medallions, cab shortages, ancient taxi companies that don't offer app hauling/prepayment etc.

So how can Uber make a killing in Stockholm? Answer: they find another regulation to work around. Tax regulation. Taxis are required to enter all fares into the meter and that's reported to tax authorities. Uber drivers are supposed to enter the rides themselves into the meter after completing. The kicker is: there is a huge incentive for the individual driver to under-report the fares, and that incentive also helps Uber. This being revealed will obviously now mean that Uber will be forced to pay an estimated and much higher tax, and the drivers won't be trusted to do this themselves in the fuuture. And this will only mean one thing: Uber will pack up and leave. There is no way they can be competitive (to the extent their investors will want) without breaking either Tax law or Labor laws.

Regarding points 1 and 2, I think any argument that relies on the concept of utility in some essential way is either false or trivial. Take for example the theorem that "utility-maximizing individuals equalize the marginal utilities of goods consumed divided by their prices".

Utility can't be measured directly, and must be inferred from a consumer's behaviour. It's begging the question to infer an agent's utility function from their behaviour and to simultaneously conclude that the behaviour maximises the utility function: that's true by construction.

On the other hand, we can assume a functional form for an agent's utiilty for a given basket of goods. I guarantee that real-world preferences are more complicated than any function we can write down, so any prediction we make about an agent's preferences will almost certainly be wrong.

All in all, utilities are a nice toy, but aren't really any use outside of the world of theory.

These are called Spectrum Cases in the metaethical literature and have been discussed by Larry Temkin, Stuart Rachels, and others. Here is an example:

A_1: One year of intense pleasure.

A_2: Two years of slighly less intense pleasure than A_1.

A_3: Four years of slightly less intense pleasure than A_2.

.
.
.

A_n: 2048 years of very low pleasure (slightly less intense than A_{n-1}).

In every pairwise comparison we judge that A_{i+1} is better than A_i. However, we also judge that for some A_j in the spectrum, A_1 is better than A_j. Repeated applications of transitivity would contradict this, hence "better than" cannot be transitive.

Before you dwell on the example, note that the same construction can be made with well-being and it may be made as realistic as you desire. As the size of his book already hints, Temkin (2012) discusses a vast number of variants in many evaluative domains.

Money pumps under certainty are one argument against this. The problem is to explain what's wrong with your judgements in Spectrum Cases then. There are many other replies. John Broome suggests that "better than" is simply transitive by virtue of its meaning, but that misses Temkin's point and he's perfectly aware of this reply. You can also get away with giving up completeness, but the solution is not very convincing. It boils down to claiming that two adjacent items are incomparable somewhere in the spectrum, which is extremely implausible. In my personal opinion the only viable solution is a lexicographic approach that takes into account that two or more dimensions at play. I'll spare you the details, though.

On a side note, there is an older tradition of arguing against the transitivity of "better than" based on measurement errors or the indistinguishability of adjacent items. This started with Luce (1956). In these cases, only the transitivity of "equally good" fails but "strict better than" remains transitive, hence this can be modelled with semiorders or interval orders. The representation theorems for utility representations change, but this is well-explored and not a problem. Spectrum Cases are much worse, if you buy into them, because they show that "strict better than" is not transitive.
That sounds great, thanks! I'll try it right away.

Homebrew on Linux (known as Linuxbrew) does not require root access.

I’ve overperformed throughout my entire career. That’s almost two decades now, and it’s already driven me into burnout once; I came back from that, but that was a long time ago, and I’m neither confident I can do so again nor willing to suffer through it again.

At this point I am absolutely ready to give less than all of myself to the job, and more to the things that bring me joy and give my life meaning. If that means overperforming less at work, and closer to par with what’s actually expected of me - if that means no longer giving 150% effort to my day job, and “merely” 100% instead - then I’m okay with that, and so, per relevant discussions, is my reporting chain.

If that changes - if it proves in practice that the company is unwilling to support a transition from the heading-for-burnout precedent I’ve set to a sustainable level of effort - then that’ll be a clear indication that this company is not worth keeping on as a customer of my labor, and I’ll replace it with a customer which is.

The tradeoffs are going to be different for everyone, of course, but I’m convinced the same model generally applies, at least for those of us who have a worthwhile product to sell in our labor. Given the enormous prevalence of impostor syndrome in our industry, I wouldn’t be surprised if the product you’re selling is more valuable than you’re in the habit of thinking.

And it’s also worth keeping in mind that every employer, with the best will in the world, still has a strong economic incentive to convince you to undervalue the product they’re buying from you. That incentive exists because they’re buying it from you, and want to do so as cheaply as possible. No judgment; it’s a business, that’s the game. But you’d be wise not to take their word for what your work is worth, and learn to play the other side of the game - because the better you are at the other side of the game, the closer you get to being paid what your work is worth.
Have the lifestyles of the characters changed with the people who play them?

I was writing to agree with this and then thought about column aliases and views, which are two ways to hide the underlying database structure that SQL provides out of the box.

From the sqler readme I couldn't tell if either of those were available but I have used columns aliases when I have used other SQL to API gateways (like http://restsql.org ).

Such db level features definitely don't give you as much power to abstract as a full middle tier, but at least it is something. The trade may be worthwhile for the speed of API building. (I have worked with Google sheets as an API provider and that was far less flexible than sqler appears.)

It is always possible (though perhaps not pleasant) to swap out an API built on this type of direct SQL access technology with one built on a traditional middle tier.
With the example of U given, U(2 apples + 2 oranges) > U(5 apples), which would not be true for a linear variant of U. You could transform this utility function into exp(U) = apples^a * oranges^(1-a), to make it more linear.

But I believe in general only linear transformations preserve all aspects of a utility function, when you start to look at the expected utility of a bet with probability p of outcome a and probability (1-p) of outcome b, which has expected utility E[U] = pU(a)+(1-p)U(b). I can imagine that it is harder to accept that this view of utility functions actually models human behavior.

> Suppose we are only working with rational multiples of Pi.

How would you start? You can't put a rational multiple of pi exactly into a computer. You can't get a rational multiple of pi exactly out of a computer. You can calculate rational numbers on the computer and scale them by a factor of pi outside the computer, if you really want, but that doesn't mean the computer is working with irrationals.

> It's not as though countability lends itself better to programming.

Huh? Yes it does; countable sets are still infinite but they're better-behaved than bigger sets.

re “I conclude that while self-labeled Austrian economists have some valid contributions to make to economics, these are simply not distinctive enough to sustain a school of thought“

This seems a little crazy to me. I think there is a world of difference between current economic philosophy that runs the US-centered world and Austrian Economics as depicted on the Mises web site.

I am not an economist but I do sometimes read the Mises.org web site and until recently I made monthly contributions to support the site.

I credit Mises.org with information that led me to divest my retirement accounts out of the stock market in 1997. That saved me a lot of money.
Package managers can only offer what they are feeded with. And that does not include all software in all incarnations. A usual problem is that certain distributions are lacking newer versions. Or the ability to install multiple versions parallel. Something like homebrew is a solution for this.
For many packages it is difficult to get packaged for all Linux distributions. Hence if your package does not get packaged for a particular Linux distribution users can still install your package using homebrew.

Small island nations (or smaller countries in general) don't have the muscle large nations do. You're not going to build a production facility for cars on Malta, for example.

In England you can claim UC while working, if you do less than 16 hours per week and less than (I think) £120.50 per week.

This is a route back into employment for people who've spent years out of work. The intent is to provide a ramp from "no work, full benefits", though "some work, some benefits", to "full time paid employment, no benefits". (in fact, with tax credits, many people in full time (over 16 hours per week) work are also getting state benefits).

This ramp is broken by the gig economy because zero-hours contracts make it impossible for the state to know how much top-up benefit to pay month to month. This plunges people into debt and poverty.

The gig economy employers benefit because they don't have to pay a lving wage, they don't need to compete for workers by offering sensible wages.

This is an unintented distortion of the free-market. If you believe in free markets you should wish to see the end of this distortion.

The more correct question is "why are the Maltese such fucking leeches on Europe?".
FaceID is a downgrade for my usage primarily because it requires you to be looking fairly directly at the phone to unlock(even with that “require attention” setting turned off). There are countless times when I want to casually unlock and check or adjust something from the corner of my eye, rather than devoting my full attention to my phone(even an Apple Watch giving me many notifications instead of the phone). It’s especially bad in the car where you can’t unlock your phone without obstructing your vision.

Also when laying on the couch your face is often squished making it not recognize you. I also like to use my devices in landscape orientation meaning that the camera used for FaceID is obstructed. Landscape orientation with TouchID put your thumb right where it needed to be to unlock the device!

With TouchID I basically never reverted to using a passcode, and now with FaceID I’d estimate it’s 20% of the time I use a passcode and another 20% of the time I have to reposition my face or my hands after it fails in order to get it to work.

The only benefit of the new mechanism for me is eliminating bezel space require for the fingerprint sensor. That’s a big benefit, but it comes with very annoying first world problems, which are especially annoying since prices for these devices have gone up so much recently.

As someone with two pairs of AirPods, the lack of a headphone jack also annoys me. Most commonly when in a car with and aux jack and no Bluetooth. Bluetooth devices also require charging one more battery. High end earbuds and IEMs also require a 3.5mm jack and IIRC it might not even be possible to do high end audio via BT due to how it works for audio(something about the audio getting recompressed).
