This sounds exactly like my current project. The ORM is pulling all fields for the model objects and related objects instead of the two or three it actually needs and there’s no easy fix because too many unrelated features make use of the same query code, but use different fields. I’ll slowly change it to using multiple single purpose queries probably, but it’s going to be a tedious task.

As an experiment, I changed one to only fetch the fields that it needs and the query ran in approx. 15% of the time. That’s a pretty big improvement! Sigh.
That's funny. I was just wondering weather Dreams was based on implicit surfaces, with their ability to scale their models in this good looking way, and then the article goes and mentions it as an example.

Edit: I really enjoyed the article and its information, but I think I missed the part where it answered the question in the title.
Are there any other good resources for this kind of advice or writing about the topic?
> I'm very lucky that I start with FoxPro, so I know what is to live with a MUCH better thing than SQL.

For us who didn't use FoxPro, why was it MUCH better than SQL?
> In fact it's quite a bizarre thing to codify in a constitution otherwise.

I don’t know about the US but in many jurisdictions you cannot be forced to testify against close family (spouse, children).

It’s clearly about the state not creating a cruel situation.
> I just think it's far too modest of a goal for a company with free rein over a billion dollars in additional annual capital

When you look at it as an investment not as a research project it makes much more sense.
> There are other models as well eg datalog, but popularity is a factor of many things

The lack of popularity is also a reflection of how the string of next best things have failed to actually deliver on their promise, accompanied by the lack of a rational argument to adopt them instead of using a time-tested technology.
Companies are also at fault for keep cramping the seats and putting heavy fees in checked luggage so that everyone ends up only taking hand luggage.

Regulations are needed.

I normally never pay attention to the briefings because I just heard too many of them. But the BA is funny. Works for me.

More general about the briefings: The explanation of the life vest seems to take most of the time. I often wonder how many airplane accidents involved landing on water, making that instruction worth having every single time. Maybe someone knows ?
The plane bounced 3 times and the flames erupted on the second or third bounce:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9_xh7aK2No

I don't know what video you are referring to, but the ones I've seen from the inside look like the plane is taxiing after the third bounce, which likely caused the fuel leak and the whole fire.

Grabbing bags is stupid, here in this case people died for a different reason.
What about those suffering Jaundice?
People get upset about dumb stuff continuously. It's the job of the public officials to verify the information for themselves. If it's false then they can publish the information disproving it and the public pressure subsides.

Better to have the occasional tempest in a teapot than that people do nothing even when something needs doing.
still pretty good for almost zero effort on human side
Bags risk damage to the slide, which could prevent passengers from using them, as well as causing physical impact injuries to passengers below. There is no excuse.
> Erkut Aykutlug and Mark Peng used XGBoost with creative feature engineering whereas AutoML uses both neural network and gradient boosting tree (TFBT) with automatic feature engineering and hyperparameter tuning.

It's hilarious that gradient boosted descent tree beat Google's fancy AutoML-generated neural networks.
There are at least three factors making people strongly prefer carrying to checking in. One, you can't "lose" a carry-on, unlike check-in. Two, obviously, tickets tend to be cheaper without check-in luggage. Three, you don't have to wait ridiculous amount of time for the luggage (IME it's usually 10-15 minutes, but once I waited an hour), you can just grab your carry-on and leave the airport.

If it was just the price, or just the fear of lost baggage, it would be much easier. But with all three, the incentives are all aligned against check-in. So as you say, it would require stricter enforcement of rules to fix. And/or much stricter rules. And maybe fixing the luggage pick-up times would help.

EDIT: fourth factor I just remembered. If you opt for checked-in luggage, you suddenly have to arrive 60-120 minutes earlier and spend that time in a queue. Adding pick-up time, that's 20% of your waking day spent just dealing with luggage.
That worked for me on Linux FF 66. Thank you.

All views in PostgreSQL are schema bound, which is usually good but can be annoying at times.
Does the spec have any execution requirements re WITH? Pretty sure `WITH` in postgresql is gated and thus can have considerable performance implication vs a nested query (or none at all depending on the query).
They don't though. At similar quality and framerate, a video is much smaller than a GIF (so the radios can be shut down faster) and requires less power to playback (because it's offloaded to the hardware acceleration instead of being implemented entirely on the CPU).

Your average smartphone can play 1080p video without breaking a sweat, not so with 1080p gifs. Hell, a laptop will have permanent high-CPU usage on 1080p gifs, as a video it's background noise (https://www.reddit.com/r/osx/comments/43rrf0/pixel_art_gif_a...)
I'd rather have violence in the form of imprisonment due to tax avoidance than violence in the form of children being forced to work or starve due to being born into poverty.

What a silly article. In many places affordability is not the issue. The real issue is availability. You just cannot work around shortage of apartments. It just physically can never work -- unless maybe you forcefully restrict the population of a city (hukou style).

Those passengers aren't to blame, regulators and aircraft designers are to blame.

People are idiots in the aggregate, and reliably exhibit herd behavior counterproductive to their survival. Aircraft design must account for this.

There's something to the famous Feynman quote if we apply it in this context:

"For a successful technology, reality
must take precedence over public relations,
for Nature cannot be fooled. -- Richard P. Feynman

In order to be certified aircraft must be completely evacuated during a test in 90 seconds. Here's such a test of the A380, Boeing etc. conduct tests in the same manner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIaovi1JWyY

These tests have been widely critiqued as completely unrealistic, e.g. here: https://www.aerosociety.com/news/emergency-evacuation-time-f...

Numerous real-world examples of emergency evacuations "in the wild" have shown that evacuations proceed nothing like what's shown in these tests.

If aircraft manufacturers and regulators faced up to this we wouldn't have this problem. You'd get actual safety instead. E.g. design changes to aircraft mitigating the aisle blockages that do happen in these evacuations, but aren't accounted for in tests, more emergency exits etc.

This is a recurring topic, e.g. in 2015 a BA flight in Las Vegas took 5 minutes to evacuate: http://www.flight.org/the-numbnut-passenger-evacuation-of-ba...
Quietness. As a creative person it's very easy for me to get distracted. I try to work with noise canceling and white noise, but that doesn't really work that well.

Why didn't you mention Elon Musk and the Flint, Michigan water problem? (not to mention laptops and other donations he's made on two occasions now)

I think that's a real-world problem.

Huh? Just some of the data it offers: Seattle’s “Central District, which was more than 70% black in 1970, has long since become a majority white neighborhood, with blacks comprising less than 15% of the current population. A long-standing trend of displacement and gentrification continues unabated by redevelopment, with the District coming in second citywide for the most home teardowns for new construction since 2015.”

It clearly describes displacement and gentrification as harmful to what you refer to as “lower-class” people.

Finally you end on an unsupported political talking point that paints a false dichotomy. Progressives are concerned about the most vulnerable people, including “workers engaged in productive occupations” who are displaced by wealthier gentrifiers of working class neighborhoods.

They say that the application is approved, the console has a green check mark and says "published" and I got an email saying that the application has been approved.

However, whenever a user actually tries to sign up, it says that the app is not verified. So I can't submit anything for review, because everything has been reviewed and approved, but it still doesn't work.

I really really detest this disgracefully bullshit that's brought out every single time this happens.

Every single time you exit the plane you step up, you grab your luggage, you exit, you step up, you grab your luggage, you exit, you step up, you grab your luggage, you exit, you step up, you grab your luggage, you exit, you step up, you grab your luggage, you exit, you step up, you grab your luggage, you exit.

To break from this, takes brain power and could cause you to die, panic is a common alternative to break from the norm when in danger for instance.

Fuck off airchair commentators.

Perhaps the commentator could watch the Christchurch massacre next and comment on what they should have done rather than their stupidity.
Doesnt sound that bad. USA too has this scheme. Hungary had it too. Loads of countries have it, if not all
Same. As a data scientist, I have seen multiple 'analytics workbench' solutions come, go and occasionally stay - Clementine (what is now IBM SPSS), Stata, SAS and its many variants, Statistica and in the recent years, tools built off and designed to make working with data using Python/R.

But, the common workhorse tool that has stayed strong through all these has been the common SQL. Elegant, simple, powerful and thoroughly reliable, it is my primary go-to tool. In an otherwise changing ecosystem, its simplicity and reliability is a boon. Yes, it is primarily because of the nostalgic familiarity but I also believe it continues to be extremely powerful, one that will serve you very well.

Do they though? Or is that just people's perception? It's a common case in life that people operate on extremely inflated perceptions of risk, often related to how news invert risk perceptions (the more you hear about something on the news, the less likely it is to happen; journalists and article writers don't report on stuff that happens regularly).
Sure, but I didn't sign up to be cannon fodder when I bought that plane ticket.
does that really recompense for the possibility of sustaining permanent damage to a product you purchased on a marketplace you believed to be safe? Is it really ok to sell fraudulent products that could harm the user as long as you give a full refund? fine, but the trust is destroyed. This seems like an effort to avert bad publicity, I don't think they would email a customer about a fraudulent product in any other case.

We can always hope, but the Marzipan apps I have used so far (News and Stocks) are incredibly slow and don't adhere to platform conventions at all. I truly hope (and believe) that they are not representative of what Marzipan will be able to do in the future.

I have never used a single Electron app that was nearly as bad. In fact all Electron apps I have used are pretty good (VS Code, Spotify, Exodus). Yes they do use more memory, but not nearly enough to pose a problem for my 2012 Mac mini with 8GB RAM.
No it is not. You can renounce your US citizenship (or most other citizenships for that matter) hat was forced upon you after birth - instead you chose stay and whine.

Too bad you cannot renounce education, healthcare etc that were also forced upon you by the state.

You'd need high volume to make it worthwhile and the amount of chargebacks leading to one merchant would make them look pretty suspicious.
> Yes, convenience frees you up to pursue something else, but I've felt that it takes so much willpower to pick an activity you know to be of value to you (like exercise, or reading a book) over something immediately gratifying.

Whereas before you didn't have to choose and never got an opportunity to use your willpower to pick an activity of value. What's to say that people weren't made weak and compliant by a lack of opportunity to make their own choices?

> What if this pursuit of convenience is making us weaker, and in the long run, blind to what should be pursued with the time we free up?

What if it isn't? What if this is little more than another moral panic, such as a decade ago how sexting was going to ruin everyone forever and was a threat to all children?

It seems to me that there are few answers here, but an awful lot of moralizing about shockingly little. Re-frame much of it as the quest for self-mastery, and now generations of philosophers approve.
I'd add:

5) move the people to less expensive cities. The discussion largely driven by a very small area in a few cities that have been extremely successful at job growth in tech, finance, and lobbying. There isn't a housing affordability crisis across most of the country.
The first sentence of the report defining the Scheme programming language:

"Programming languages should be designed not by piling feature on top of feature, but by removing the weaknesses and restrictions that make additional features appear necessary."
> Citation needed?

I don't have a citation, but a colleague of mine who's working on front-end projects repeatedly complains that today's JS stacks require half a dozen base JS packages, which in turn download dozens if not hundreds of ancillary packages, not to mention requiring a couple of transpilers and a bunch of tooling.

And for what? Well, just to be able to render some text and a couple of buttons.

Nowadays we have whole server projects that take less than 50MB of source code and dependencies to build, while a miserable SPA with a login screen and a couple of menus and buttons requires nearly 400MB of JS.

That's pretty bleak.

SpaceTEE: Secure and Tamper-Proof Computing in Space Using CubeSats
I found that a lot of people ‘believe’ in what I do and that I will ‘make’ it for sure. I also found that the things I’m building are not for them. They will never use it because they just will never need it. But they would like to support me by sharing the projects with their friends who are most likely also not my targeted audience.

I came up with a way they can support me in the early stages of my startup ideas & can help me get my products to the next level.

“Kickfund.io”

A platform that helps you collect funds from friends, family, people that believe in you as a founder and your ideas, and would like to support your process financially. With a one time or a monthly payment.

Kickfund is for you if you need funding but don’t want to give away equity. It’s for you if you want to make your startup work, but don’t have the time or the focus because you have to make your freelance career work.

Everyone is welcome on the platform to submit their startup ideas it can be live or in the idea phase. Every week/day I select a few startups that will be featured for extra exposure.

Kickfund is not yet live but you can submit your startup already. So your startup will be live the second we go online.
You want to be a citizen AND do not pay taxes? You cannot really get one without another. This is two way street.

There is one issue with the stats though. A lot of HN users are privacy focused, including me. Many have disabled GA or any other third party tool.

I think it will be more than 15k users for you in that regards.

To get the correct estimation, one might need to include an integrated pageview component on the app/post or maybe Snowplow.
> I can't say anything regarding bags, about which everyone is talking. They definitely didn't get in my way: I went last, there was nobody behind me. I can't say how long we waited until the way was clear -- time is relative, and I cannot judge precisely. But I cannot say that there was anything interfering with the evacuation. There was one moment -- one woman ran ahead, and she fell, but she was carried out. There was no stampede/crush on the plane.
Personally I think these types of writings offer valuable opportunity for reflection, I found the stream of thought approach appealing and overall enjoyed the experience of reading this.

I think if you have reached a point where you've found your rose garden, that's a beautiful thing and maybe this article and others like it seem less appealing. And I get it can seem contradictory, narcissistic or sacrosanct to want to write (or read) an entire article about something so personal or subjective (and in doing so, add noise to the very noisy environment the author was describing). All valid points of view, which shift in relation to the observer.

Read as an essay on culture, I don't think it has a clear thesis beyond a general sensation of defending our time and space. Explored as a meandering journey through a garden of ideas we're given the opportunity to reflect on our own thoughts and feelings - in a way the article shows us some disjoint pieces of the haystack as experienced by the author (in a very blind-men-describing-the-elephant way), and the needle is ourselves.

Each to their own ::)

Are Jobs Obsolete? (2011)
So Apple is trying what Microsoft did years ago: Platform convergence.

It's quite ironic because as far as I remember, Apple used to have a strong stance against that, showing e.g. by the fact that Macbooks never come with touch screens.

Also, there was a loud opposition at least by power users who didn't like that change (sometimes just for the sake of hating change or hating MS IMO). Let's see if it will be different in this case.
I was thinking about Hearthstone reading his comment, it's exactly like that -- huge time investment if you want to pay nothing or a little bit, less time investment if you pay.

That said, the amount you have to pay to get a large collection in Hearthstone is staggering, if you drop $80 every few months for the next expansion you still only have a few of the epic and legendary cards.
People aren't mad because MacDonalds runs a chain of restaurants or presents consumers with food or provides a easy way to get a meal. Lots of companies do those things without complaint. People are mad at McDonalds because the company constantly lies about health issues, makes one statement about the origins of their food when really it comes from somewhere else, and just generally treats the concerns of its consumers with complete contempt.
