That's assuming changing the schema is just about changing the layout of the database, which is definitly not true.

The SQL is the easy part and barely registers as an issue.

I see the same problem with SQL lovers rejecting ORMs as a dumb way to avoid using the right tool for the job.

But using an ORM is not about avoiding to write SQL. It's about all the rest: code introspection, data validation, documententation, having a common api, tooling, etc
German companies have been claiming labor shortage forever now.

All around the world it's done in order to drive down the wage and get government to invest in employee education/training which is then skimmed off by these companies.

It's almost a meme now that there is labor shortage in everything. Pretty sure, restaurants and bars also claim labor shortage.

Sure you can "speak" the same language, but it would take you time to familiarize yourself with the concepts of physics engines ... and most of you would not expend the effort to do so if it is not applicable to your work/interests. There are certain common concepts across all mathematics, but it's like that in medicine, software, and any field that deals with complex topics.
Wouldn’t a boost converter from LiPo to voltage needed to run a string of series LEDs have an inductor? That seems a common design pattern. It’s arguably before the LED driver chip but a meaningful part of the overall design.

Indeed, the Casper uses the Ti TPS63021 boost converter, which needs an inductor (L1/L2 on the datasheet sample application). http://www.ti.com/product/TPS63021?qgpn=tps63021

I don’t know how much discussion one hopes to generate by simply posting links to recent arxiv pre-prints. Posters don’t even seem to be giving a reason for posting them. It is very non-sequiter and unengaging. Honestly i would never use this.

A better post format:

Title: not the title of the paper (which will almost always sound super specific) but something more general

abstract: a brief description at a high level of the discussion the poster hopes to generate, i.e. why.

Probably they should all be text posts with some ability to add an external link.

Also, posting some blogs would probably fare better for general discussion than just papers.

As far as I understand this garbage protocol is designed to be compatible with TLS 1.3 clients.

Can clients detect the use of this, and if detected refuse to connect with a scary warning? That should kill this abomination fairly effectively.
You imply that traditional dashboards are too complicated. However, Tesla is merely hiding that complexity behind one or a few screens an a few buttons. I like the approach to minimalism, but in my opinion there has to be a balance between pragmatism and beauty. The learning curve and ease of access is just lower in German (or traditional) dashboards in general. I am not sure if Tesla found that particular balance. I hear a lot of hate towards the giant screen and no love, but that is just anecdotal.
I assume Tesla went so radical in the Model 3 to save costs, rather than to stay minimalistic.
Please remain civil. While I agree that this is not frontpage material, there is no reason to talk like that.

Interesting. I have the opposite experience with no friends talking about sexual harassment but several who are victim of crimes committed by immigrants.

It make some sense however given that data here in Sweden. 6% of people are victim of either sexual assault or harassment and around 6% of people are victim of either assault or robbery. Sexual assault has mostly female victims and assault and robbery has mostly male victims.

And the blame towards immigrants shows up clear in the data. Immigrants in Sweden are 400% over represented for assault and robbery and almost 500% in regard to sexual assault. For those cities which has a very high proportion of immigrants this translate to directly to a lot of people being victims of crime committed by immigrants.

The data is what the data is. We can discuss different interpretation of it, but the general point is that movement like MeToo is not about informing the public about crime statistics. It is a symbol by one political side about an issue they find important, which they highlight through the use of mass reports of personal experiences. The right could do the exact same thing, and I remember a few times they tried and failed to do so.

The achievements you list are long gone, they are just too old. Rest of the world has moved on since then and that's not enough gunpowder to keep the water steaming anymore.

And German automobile industry does feel that EV are environment friednly otherwise they wouldn't be forced into Emissions Scandal if it was anything otherwise. So, they are already feeling the heat!
True, big organisations are always dysfunctional in a way or another.
It's surprising to see how successful companies can be, simply by not being too dysfunctional.

That being said, I do believe some of the German automakers are pretty high on the inefficiency scale.

That's very interesting. I feel like being handed FI at a very young age could go either way. Either he realizes what a gift he's been given, or he squanders it because he doesn't. I don't think that I would have appreciated it at that age myself.

Of course, it's your choice to make (and I definitely don't know your situation or your son's situation), but it seems to me that a big part of FI is the mindset, not the money, and I'm not sure you can acquire the mindset without going through the frugal living.

> What indeed? You can answer that today!

That is true, but sometimes in the grind of the every day it can be hard to look up and take the time to really think about what you want. And it can be scary to think about upending everything to get what you think you might want.

That's why gamification is easier--concrete goals that don't take a lot of deep thinking about your purpose on earth are easier to achieve when you're in the daily grind.

Not saying it's better--as a sibling comment says, you should aim to build the life you want as soon as you can, rather than save save save and then arrive someplace you weren't aiming for. But the gamification is easier to grasp and less scary to aim for, in my opinion.

The network effects of everyone being on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram are huge. You can't expect your contacts to move to your network of choice - even if they set up an account, their behaviour and the content they post will be very different. Most likely you will end up connected to a handful of inactive accounts.

What I personally do - use signal/text/email (I wouldn't bother with hosting my own email server) for 1-to-1 communication; no accounts on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Snapchat - they're just not worth the time and attention. Neither are Mastodon or Diaspora. I have an up-to-date LinkedIn account that I don't really use - again, worth having an account but the feed is a giant waste of time.

> Main principle you want to look up: the Aesthetic Usability Effect. Basically, users perceive your product to be more usable if it's aesthetically pleasing.

Well that explains a few things. Many a time have I experienced a UI remake looking great but being absolutely horrible to use.

Take for example Google+, where they tried a last ditch effort to make it more popular by doing a UI update. They made it look really slick, but in the process made it much, much worse to actually use. I used to be an active G+ user (yeah, I know) but after they forced me to use the new UI I stopped using it, it was that bad.

Another example is Acronis TrueImage, which completely redid their UI, making it much more visually pleasing and up-to-date. Initially I thought it was great, but then I noticed that certain processes were a lot more tedious to do, and they'd also removed a lot of functionally in the process.
I'll just wait for the indictment and story to pop up on ARS.

Yes. A spring reacts to force by storing energy in the strain (aka stretching) it experiences.

A crystal oscillator has the additional property that when it stretches, it develops an electric field across it--and conversely, when an electric field is applied across it, it stretches.

So you can make the crystal vibrate by putting a voltage across it, and this vibration is visible when you monitor the voltage. It's like striking a bell...the bell's vibration creates an audio vibration.

How does the Aesthetic Usability Effect account for the success of websites like Amazon, Wikipedia, Craigslist, Hacker News, classic Reddit, and LinkedIn, to name a few? There seems to be no correlation between aesthetic quality and use of these sites. I'm not sure what that indicates about the "usability" of these sites. If the goal is to maximize the number of users, it would seem that there is some evidence that a sense of usability determined by aesthetic quality is not that important.
I certainly agree with what he is saying; but I believe the American way lends itself to developing better premium products.
