"IQ doesn't perfectly predict outcomes" is not a great critique of IQ. No one is arguing that IQ presents an infallible linear ranking of human worth / value / accomplishment.

On the other hand, it's extremely unlikely that someone with an IQ of 85 or less will be able to understand complex abstract concepts. That's about 50 million people in the USA.
These two are former state AGs and IMHO their kind should be barred from being part of any important deliberative body, they are prosecutors with strictly punitive mindset in a legislative body that is also supposed to encourage entrepreneurship and look after national interests, and at any rate everyone should be wary of grandstanding and populist pronouncements by elected officials.

P.S

State AG should not be an elected position.

We use TimescaleDB with databases between 1-100 million rows (small by some standards, but certainly not tiny) - I love it!

- we use Postgres as our main database, so being able to keep out time-series data in the same place is a big win

- perhaps because because it's a Postgres extension, the learning curve is small

- it keeps timerange-constrained queries over our event data super fast, because it knows which chunks to search across

- deleting old data (e.g. for a data retention policy) is instantaneous, as TimescaleDB just deletes the physical files that back the timerange being deleted

- it has some nice functions built-in, like `time_bucket_gapfill`. Yes, you could write your own functions to do this, but it's nice to have maintained, tested functions available OOTB

Very cool. Do you know what the timeline is for getting the contents of master into the version packaged for apt?

On the topic of `ls` making many more syscalls than `nnn`, its interesting that `nnn` is using the `newfstatat` syscall. Is that capturing the information that the `lstat`, `lgetxattr`, and `getxattr` syscalls are getting for `ls`?
If so, will that potentially limit this speed up to architectures that make use of the newer `newfstatat` syscall?

The Benefits of Time-Blocking, and Some Tips to Get You Started
The DataMapper pattern is very much included in the normal discussion of what an ORM is expected to provide -- so much so that almost most larger ORMs (that I know of at least) is listed on the Wiki[0], including TypeORM.

That said, you're right, the DataMapper pattern isn't quite identical, and it is a piece of fully OOP-based ORMs that I think are on the right side of the spectrum. I'd say that the DataMapper pattern fits in the middle -- I call it Serialization/Deserialization, and assuming the syncing of data is not constant (as in triggering action on another thread or something), then it can be anything from a function (ex. db::insert_user(user), user.write_to_db(db) or Adapter.save(obj)) to a dedicated object (Adapter.update(db, obj)).

If I had to try and point to a difference between the two, I'd say that DataMapper-ish or DataMapper-and-below levels of abstraction expose more internals by default (which is obvious) -- I find that ORMs on the right side of the spectrum I sketched up top try to never expose their internals, which quickly falls apart as soon as you step off the paved/well-traveled path.

[EDIT] I want to note that dealing with this syncing behavior in EF (Entity Framework) was really annoying. The constant management of a pool of objects that "reflected" the objects in the DB and had to be saved all together/flushed before they were manipulated or whatever was really annoying. That said, I am now aware that C# is one of my greatest weaknesses, so take this opinion with a grain of salt, it's entirely possible that I just didn't have the skill to do it right and keep it in my mind the right way. Just to make sure I'm not unfairly bashing EF I went and found a relevant SO post to show the kind of stuff I didn't like having to look up/deal with [1]. I'm picking on EF but this is likely an issue with any ORMs that handle it this way (w/ the object pooling & syncing).

It looks like this gives you a `ctypes` pointer: https://cppyy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basic_types.html#poin...

So you handle it like any other ctypes pointer, ie. `libc = ctypes.CDLL(find_library("c")); libc.free(ptr)`

This is the reason for the "bakers' dozen". Bakers were at one time required to sell a minimum amount by weight in a dozen, and so would throw in one extra item to ensure the minimum was there.

Ah, here it's on Wikipedia:

"In the United Kingdom when selling certain goods, bakers were obliged to sell goods by the dozen at a specific weight or quality (or a specific average weight). During this time, bakers who sold a dozen units that failed to meet this requirement could be penalized with a fine. Therefore to avoid risking this penalty, some bakers included an extra unit to be sure the minimum weight was met"
You ignore the degree of price inelasticity for the products China produces and exports to the U.S. If we were still in the TPP, the U.S. could still come out ahead, but once the U.S. withdrew, the remaining countries have been cutting deals with China. The question is whether those deals make up for the U.S. losses enough for China to weather the economic storm in the short term for a longer term gain.

Global free trade benefited the American consumer by letting them keep more money in their pocket for other things through cheaper products. And these fake tariffs which China does not pay a dime of, are a regressive import tax that in that short term negatively impact the American consumer by taking money out of their pocket.

It's not at all clear how the market will adjust. Or even if it can because Trump keeps changing his mind on rather important details. What he supposedly ultimately wants is "fair trade" as in no tariffs for anyone? I doubt that he's completely non-protectionist if it turns out some other country can simply out compete the U.S.

But then what does 0% tariff/import tax actually translate into in terms of the geographic location for production? It definitely moves to the location with the cheapest net cost for labor and taxes. And that's not going to be the U.S. Which is fine, the American consumer still comes out ahead, but that is not at all compatible with the claims Trump makes about his notion of protectionism creating high paying American jobs. That is a fantasy on the face of it.

This is where I land also. ORM's are excellent for the repetitive stuff, especially when integrated with frameworks but I don't want the presence of an ORM to prevent me from accessing the more advanced aspects of my database. I'm a heavy Postgres user and there's just...so much that it's capable of that hiding it behind an ORM to pretend it's "just a database" is a bit like a tragedy.

One of the better balances I ever came across from multiple languages was actually ActiveRecord because of the Scopes functionality. The scopes let you abstract certain parts of queries and name them, reuse them, include parameters, combine multiples of them back together, switch parts out, etc. You can combine raw snippets with fully abstracted parts.

It's extremely flexible and probably the feature of Rails that I miss most when I don't have it.

> The third approach is to safely wrap the database and its columns with code in a way that is composable.

Like Haskell's Esqueleto[1] which lets you work with SQL code as Haskell functions and values. As an example from the documentation:

select $ from $ \p -> do
where_ (p ^. PersonAge >=. just (val 18))
return p

results in roughly:

SELECT * FROM Person
WHERE Person.age >= 18

This lets you define new functions to use in your queries that use SQL functions. For example, you can define `isPrefixOf` for SQL using the SQL functions `char_length()` and `left()`. The use of the function will be expanded into the corresponding SQL code when the query runs. Like,

select $ from $ \p -> do
where_ $ val "John" `isPrefixOfE` p ^. PersonName
return p

could result in:

SELECT * FROM Person
WHERE LEFT(Person.name, CHAR_LENGTH('John')) = 'John'

Modern day computers are not where a large company like Apple should be investing its resources.

You forget that the battleground in their business is the smartphone, capitalizing on the gains in smartphones and accessories is what will make the most profit.

> Moral and legal obligations that restrict your choices don’t make you “property”.

You know, we could debate the appropriateness of the word "property" in the description all day (and I'll get back to that later in this post), but it is, in any case, tangential to the point which is that the utility of exclusive legal monogamy as opposed to tolerance of polygamy in assuring men with partners is demonstrably, empirically only present when comparing systems in which women have a legally inferior, subordinate position, and that whatever social utility can be said to derive from that effect is not achieved by choosing exclusive legal monogamy in systems with more gender-equal ranges of social and economic freedoms and choices.

> By using the word “property”, you’re invoking the mental image of some of the rights associated with physical property

Yes, deliberately so.

> like the near absolute right to destroy and use for your own purposes.

Yes, and in the systems in which monogamy has the effect of providing near-universal guarantee that men get stable partners, that is a very close approximation of the case. Women are disposed of to men by the men in the family they are born or raised in, often in explicit or implicit exchange for other property, and once so transferred the receiving man has relatively impunity to use them at will, including often the right to impose corporal punishment and the right to free sexual use at his whim without regard to her preferences; they universally include widespread legal discrimination against women in economic activity, and often include outright legal bars on women engaging in wide fields of endeavor, and often restrictions on women even owning property.

> Marriage is not such a thing at all.

I didn't ever say marriage, in general, was a relationship in which women were property, I said that the social contexts in which monogamy as the sole legal form of marriage actually produced the outcome that virtually every man was able to have and keep a partner are ones in which women (not just in marriage) are treated more as valuable property than as coequal members of society.

>"Our result is also highly unusual in that all moves of both players are forced in the construction. This shows that even recognising who will win a game in which neither player has a non-trivial decision to make for the rest of the game is undecidable."

It is very straightforward. They are saying that, in the turing machine scenario they've set up, for each player's move, the decision they have to make is obvious, so the players don't have to collaborate in order to produce the scenario, it will arise naturally out of the state of the game with two rational players trying to win.

iTerm2 blows hyper out of the water in those regards, and it actually does add up. Styling otherwise really isn't that difficult, but it begs the question of why do you need so much information? Are you actually developing or just spending time tinkering on your terminal to have bells and whistles that you don't actually even look at? Surely a simple colorscheme + font that aliases correctly should be enough to "feel nice" to look at?
