Every other ORM is bolted on.

For instance if you write the following using LINQ:

var x = from c in customers where c.Age > 65 && c.Sex == “male” select c;

var results = x.ToList():

If customer represents an in memory list, it gets translated as regular old compiled code.

If customer represents a sql database table - it gets translated to SQL and run on the database server.

If customer represents a Mongo collection. It gets translated to a Mongo query.

Of course you can do stuff like switch out what customer represents at runtime and it will be translated appropriately. You also get autocomplete help and compile time type checking.

You can pass the where clause around:

var expression = c.Age > 65;

And pass it into a method.
I dont understand this. Can you explain?
Here's a half-way measure to give the lenders better incentives, without risking making bankruptcy on your 22nd birthday a rite of passage:

Make non-dischargeable student loans only repayable at all when your taxable income is above $50k (or some number keyed to official stats), capped at 15% of income, and written off after 20 years. And let the interest rate, and amount offered, vary with major, school, SAT score, everything.

This will provided a vivid picture to 17-year olds of what their choices mean. Taking a 4-year all-inclusive resort holiday should be expensive, maybe it's a nice gift to buy your kids, but nobody should stumble into it thinking they are getting job training. (But the same major at a more selective school may actually have great outcomes -- it doesn't have to be direct job training.) And this way there's no need for a committee to identify which programs do or don't fall into this category, the bankers are free to gamble as they wish.
Better languages solve this. In haskell you define a datatype for json before you parse it.
Honestly, I agree with you.

A current client has been trying to dictate our version numbers purely for marketing purposes and we've been pushing back since the start of the project. They originally wanted us to release 1.0 as 1.5, literally so they could imply that the software was further along than it actually was at the time (software marketing people sure seem to love lying to their own potential clients).

At least we no longer tie our sprints to version numbers (also at the behest of the client). Our scrum master eventually decoupled them unilaterally because the workload was getting ridiculous, and our internal project management was ending up as simply a formality because of it. We're all grateful for that one.
I remember the fun of trying to get PPP working in Linux the first time.

Dial in. Search for instructions. Print them out. Reboot into Linux. Try it. Doesn’t work. Write down error. Reboot into Windows. Dial up again. Search for error. Repeat until you hate yourself.

Wait, you need a new package. Go back to Windows and download it. Stick it somewhere Linux can see it. Reboot into Linux. Install the package. Find out it has missing dependencies. Go back to step one.

Got all the dependencies. Start at the top again.

I don’t remember if I ever got PPP working before I had Ethernet based net access and no longer needed dial up.
> it's easy to find iPhones belonging to everyone from elite university students to convenience store clerks.

In the US, maybe. The average world GDP per capita PPP is $17k. The US GDP per capita PPP is $59k, almost 4x the world.

In most of the rest of the world, including other developed countries, "convenience store clerks" definitely don't have iPhones.
The consequences are that certain easier degrees will get flooded and the degree becomes worthless "because everyone has one". Most of those people won't be able to find work in their field of expertise. College will still be useful for them, but only as a signaling mechanism. But it might even be a negative signaling mechanism, because it would show that the student didn't think through their actions.
The government says a 18 year old is too immature to legally purchase beer. But a $30K loan which they can't bankrupt out of, they sure are mature enough for that. It's getting teenagers to sign away a significant part of their 20s to indentured servitude.

UPDATE - Feb 11. I removed the include for now. I was seeing a weird caching issue when people login/logout where the navbar would not update correctly (for the first few requests after). I'm still digging into this. I likely need to invalidate the browser cache some how. Doing some research to see what the options are.
I'm saying that "verifying schools are really teaching $R" requires something like a standardized test, but those are already unpopular even for things that people agree schools should be teaching.

Hence there is a tension between "graduation rates" and "adding more things-schools-have-to-teach", and yes, probably a lot of people who don't see the contradiction (between hate for standardized tests and demands that schools teach $R) as clearly as I've laid it out here.
TL;DR: The Rust Evangelism Strike Force and the Rewrite-it-in-Rust Task Force have a lot of work to do.
I think that's at least partly true, but if that's the reason you go to college for, then you should consider how much it costs you.
lol 'cucked' what an epic own bro you really out logiced that feminist!
It's the obsession with instant gratification that's the problem.

If people didn't feel compelled to read/buy/communicate/watch everything and everyone everywhere right now, they'd find themselves significantly less tracked, and possibly a lot less stressed.
16 year olds can also work, need to file their own tax returns, get a driver's license, are often given cars to use.

If they make enough money, they can also start an IRA early.
Doh. Yes. Autocorrect!
I can only speak with my experience with the German system. There is some early sorting in the school system, and if you don't get the highest school degree, you're not immediately eligible for university. The point at which those school branches diverge is arguably too early, and a point that is discusses in politics, but very hard to change.

I would disagree that this system is extraordinarily competitive. I'd agree that it sorts too early and sometimes misjudges due to that. But overall, getting the "Abitur", which is the degree necessary to go to university did seem quite a bit easier than university itself.
We work enough already, if taking a break from work for 3-5 years destroys career opportunities then let's fix that problem, not less family care.

Anyone I've seen who had the choice favors "staying home" and raising their children.

To me it's a much better system. I have friends at uni here in the UK doing pretty useless degrees and racking up 9 grand a year. The German education model for example is very attractive for me, and much fairer than our previous 11+.
You're right, I was basing the assumption on old knowledge.

Note that things that pay well do not necessarily correlate with what's good for society, and I don't think the parent comment was claiming that this was not true.
I grew up poor as hell, but people all around me kept saying, "stay in school, study, work hard, and you can rise above this." I believed them, and I did - and here I am, actually living a pretty comfortable life, giving my kids the things my parents never could. But I've always suspected that somehow, some way, somebody was going to come along and take all of this away from me and make sure that I would die as poor as I was born. If it does happen, this will be how.
Simplistically, I suspect it is because they lack sufficient time.

The sheer quantity of information and habits children must process to climb up the rungs of success in the developed world is quite large. I don't mean just academics, but also soft-skills areas like networking, leadership, interpersonal communications, etc. More interestingly, the sheer amount of information to evaluate and reject is also quite large.

Read any Ask Reddit thread about what is common knowledge in a particular industry but isn't well-known publicly. Much of this information is passed along in many well-to-do families, but not as much in less-well-off families. Yet all of this information is either passed off as inaccurate common knowledge (you save more money per fluid ounce buying the biggest cup of Coke you can; truth: you shouldn't drink any sugar water of any kind, in any common American quantities, full stop), or is simply not known at all (insurance company tells you to use X body shop for repairs after an accident they're paying for, but fewer working class than middle-class people know you can tell them you're choosing Y body shop instead).

It takes a massive amount of parental involvement time to convey this mountain of information and inculcate these habits of thought into children, starting at infancy with baby sign language to impress an early predilection to communicate thoughts, all the way through adulthood with assessing people's character and financial affairs. Since these are young developing minds, repetition is the mother skill you will turn to time and again, so many lessons are taught many times over, increasing the time commitment.

If you're already time-trapped trying to hold down enough work to pay for exorbitant American urban/suburban real estate, healthcare, and education (among other expense categories), then you won't have the time to convey all this information that is definitely not taught in schools in America. Of course the issue is way more complex and nuanced than just what I've touched upon, but I see tons of parents in America spending way too little time with their children.
Meta: I'm fascinated you've gotten as far as launching without anyone at YC mentioning a company doing something so similar three years ago. Seems like a failure on YC's part; maybe they thought there was nothing to learn from the other company but still seems surprising.

You're living in a bubble. Pretty much no one wants to watch people play video games.

Mostly true but you should then take college football revenue in the US into account.
Soviets try to jam couple of short-wave stations: BBC, Voice of America and Deutsche Welle (at least). It _almost_ worked, you were able to hear them (although with some distortion) but i think that jamming will definitely break any data connections. I think even 300bps will not work with that level of noise.
I never heard that from teachers, school counselors, or anybody in the educational system. In fact I heard the opposite: basically "go to college for something (anything) or you'll flip burgers for a living."
Yeah. I looked at the comments looking specifically for this comment. I was not disappointing.
> How do you propose this working given the fact every student (who isn't from a well off family or didn't get lots of scholarships) comes out of college with near zero assets and lots of debt

Bankruptcy is a court-mediated process.

> Have a X number of year waiting period?

This would be a necessary first piece. One needs a few years of income data to establish how much someone can pay. After that, I'd argue for % of discretionary income payments (up to a dollar cap) for N years, after which the unpaid balance (both principal and interest) are written off.
I agree that student loans should be allowed to be defaulted through bankruptcy thus giving the lender a reason to be picky with when they hand them out.

Focusing on the individual is useful because they're the ones making the decision to take the loan, thus are in a position to do something about it. No one is forced to take out a loan and the individual is the one who will pay for a poor decision.

> not to criticize people for choosing the wrong major.

It's not about criticizing, it's about people taking responsibility for their actions and making good decisions. It's just not a good idea to get 50k-100k in debt for a degree that doesn't have market value. It's really not that hard to see it either.
How long until the adblocking, privacy features (Eero Plus) go away now? I'm guessing it will just slowly start getting glitchier until they pull it due to "low consumer demand".

It can be done. Every voting machine gets a key. Voting machines send results inside a secure VPN network. Votes itself can be duplicated on paper inside the voting machine. The voting machine might not need to be connected to the internet as you can have a separate terminal operated by a staff member.

We have ATMs working securely for decades. It is a largely solved problem. Problem is that the government is not willing to pay for a secure solution.

>relies on investors whose capital comes entirely from the concentration of wealth

Not entirely. A lot of the VCs (and also hedge funds, private equity) get money from regular people like us in the form of pension funds. Think of retired teachers, firemen, grandmothers, etc. E.g. the Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund was one of the investors in Union Square Ventures.

Yes, some money does come from wealthy family offices like the Vanderbilts but the huge pension funds trying to meet their obligations have even more money to invest.
As a layman from a distance, it seems like string theory is to physics what technical analysis is to finance, or Bitcoin to tech. A total joke; but many people seem to put stock in it, only because at a very granular and field-specific level it seems to "check out" if you will, but at a more basic, fundamental level, it's total garbage.

That is, technical analysis doesn't concern itself with the actual value of securities, and Bitcoin, a "cryptocurrency" isn't a currency in any meaningful sense of the word.

String theory to me sounds like a non-falsifiable framework composed of granular physics concepts that make sense when put in all the right context, but answers no questions nor makes any attempts to refine our understanding of the world. It instead appears, once again from the lens of an uninformed person, to put together concepts that physicists seem to enjoy and value, and sell it to those very same people without addressing more fundamental concerns.
For football, you have English Premier League games, La Liga games, Italian Premier League games, etc, etc...

Unity Technologies Targeting 2020 IPO
fair enough. I do not have the knowledge or perspective to actually qualify what I said. Depopulation can be a serious problem and I can understand why a population would want to stick to their own people before opening the floodgates to strangers. I think I may have unfairly cast their leader in a different light. There are some parallels between my country's leadership and theirs with building a wall on their southern border and trying to limit imigration, and i know these policies from my country come from a place of hate and distrust it is entirely possible that I let this bias my judgement. I do apologize if I've offended anyone and would be interested in any background anyone would like to provide.

I just got back from South Korea (Seoul) where I spent a month working and on vacation. By no means am I any sort of expert, but here are my insights which may be somewhat of a rant.

> Mr. Kim, who is 27 and lives with his parents

- A lot of people in their twenties still live with their parents in S. Korea. It is very common.

> He has lost a lot of money, perhaps tens of thousands of dollars.

- S. Korea is very fashion and tech savvy. It is also very wealthy notable mostly in Seoul and Itaewon. Koreans are really into how they look including high end brands and cars (Mercedes, BMW's are rampant in the city). The women are infatuated with makeup, their appearance, and Instagram. It makes sense that S. Korea was a crypto hub and that it went absolutely wild there.

- There is a noticeable pro-America vibe in S. Korea and wearing clothes or fashion that has the American Flag is typically high end. They also love Whiskey, specifically Jack Daniels which I thought was funny because I live in Tennessee..
That's different though. Alcohol has negative effects on development and your brain continues to develop until you're about 25. So the reason to limit alcohol isn't that they can't handle it, but rather that it's bad for them physically.

I don't know anything about this particular case, but systems like that based on controlling "consumables" are very common.

Sometimes it's simple price gouging, sure, or at least partly. Often, though, it was in response to capitol equipment budgeting and per-procedure pricing (& insurance). It can be easier for organizations to justify/budget the cost (and pass that on) amortized over N exams than all up front, so device manufacturers figured out ways to do this. These days some devices are entirely funded by contracted use (i.e. free razor, pay for the blades), much like office printers etc.

You are right that the industry as a whole has little interest and no incentive to allow experimentation and re-purposing. Part of this is liability, a lot is lack of any incentive. On the other hand, research lab equipment with similar functionality is often far more accessible (and more expensive)
WSL. The implementation, lxcore.sys, is a clean room implementation of the Linux kernel ABI.
If, like, me, you were more interested in understanding why these findings were brought into question, there's another article here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2018-10-12/night-parrot-...

Remember, and I think it goes without saying, any rust rewrite of any scope of project is always trivial, and should be talked about as if a full rewrite naturally will be trivial. Proceed.
But why does it have to be implemented in the DIMMs? Why not in the memory controller, such that any RAM could be used with or without parity?
How do you plan to scale content creation? Writing a book on any of the topics you plan to cover would require a lot of time, and I doubt that creating a script for a conversational agent is any easier.

Also, I'm not sure about your claim that natural language processing isn't necessary, since the dialog examples show the bot replying "correct" to a free-form answer. Or do you rely completely on the ELIZA effect making the user feel like their mistakes are being corrected when their answer differs from the explanation given by the bot?

Something many people may be unaware of, is that one cannot receive food stamps without a physical street address. Meaning that the numbers on food stamps and the numbers of homeless are for the most part 2 separate groups of people. Combined, they easily represent half the population. And I insist that census statisticians constantly downplay homeless stats, for two reasons. Because the real numbers are embarrassing, and because you cannot hit a moving target.
There are plenty of older people who don't understand compound interest or progressive tax rates.

Later, he may well be hirable but this type of advancement doesn't happen without a serious amount of timing/Luck and those stock market gains aren't typical either.

I guess you could look at it as an act of generosity. the more people quit from those jobs, the more there is for everyone else. :)
> capped at 15% of income

I like your idea. I'd edit $50k to some fraction of the median wage (or multiple of the poverty line) and revise 15% of income to a higher fraction of after-tax income after housing, food, childcare, healthcare and other essential costs. (We already have fraction of discretionary income based repayment programs. Shouldn't be hard to borrow that definition.)
> I imagine something similar would probably apply to texture lookups in a software 3D renderer.

Except that for a 3D rasterizer you'd probably be better off calculating Morton code for 8 pixels at once in a SIMD register and then using vpgatherdd to fetch 8 ARGB pixel values "in parallel" (in theory, in practice AVX2 gather might not be any faster than scalar loads).
