When you do a hard workout for the first few times, there are a lot of neural adaptations. These result in very quick gains of strength within the first few weeks, I think mostly due to better muscle recruitment. At the same time, these neural adaptations are taxing on the brain/CNS. This is especially true of exercises that require intramuscular coordination. In my personal experience it makes it very hard to fall asleep when I learn a new, complex power exercise (e.g. campusing [1]). It also seems logical that you need more sleep for those neural adaptations to take place.

Now, once you are experienced in the exercise, there are much less neural adaptations, hence the perceived plateau in strength gains. The way you make gains now, is mostly through muscle growth (hypertrophy) which takes much longer but doesn't tax the CNS as much. This might explain your observation of needing less sleep after intense workouts, now that you have more experience in your sport. Try a new intense exercise and you will likely experience the above described process again. Just don't injure yourself!

> IQ is probably the single most trustworthy finding in psychology/sociology.

The single most trustworthy finding for ... what though? I don't know what a measurement being "trustworthy" means unless you associate it as an indicator for something else. But you didn't do that.
Honestly I agree. It is frustrating and annoying. I was burgled and I thought the police would do something about it. They took hours to come, took a statement and basically said that was all they were going to do. Unless the thief dropped into their lap they would not spend resources on it. I was fortunate in that insurance covered my losses but I felt aggrieved that the thief would not be caught or even looked for.

It sucks, telling you wont help but dont let it get you down, don't let the thieves into your mindspace. Understand that those that stole from you probably got a fraction of the true value and will be back at it tomorrow because their life is a struggle that involves criminality Every day.
Considering that all of life essentially runs on a strip of tape and machine(s) that can read and write to it, I think it's still pretty relevant.
Scratch someone who talks up IQ in 2019 and you will find a white-shoe racist. The so-called "reliable" studies proving the trustworthiness of IQ, g, etc. tend to come from crackpots like Richard Lynn and Arthur Jensen, whose arrant racism leads them to conclusions looking for evidentiary support.

I use this approach with Mongoose in Node.JS. If you want to update a user document, we always query the entire document, set the field, and call .save(). This triggers all kinds of very useful validation hooks and is easy to think about. But if you want to find a series of users, or build an API for a specific front-end form, I've found the ORM just gets in the way, and we have not had any trouble writing db queries inline.
Well the business side wants to squeeze down the cost at any chance they got. I had a client who would say something like "it's a simple change" every single time he made a feature request, no matter how big the change was. And it's been years he's been saying the same thing. It used to rile me up to go into detail on why it would take weeks to get some huge feature done. Now I just double whatever time estimate with him.
Note that in Rust, `.match` would itself provide the general way:

let number = foo.bar().baz().match { it =>
it + 1
};

Those who have used it have many battle scars that lead to us never ever trusting it again.
But in a case like yours if sounds like steps 2 through 5 aren't strictly relevant to the change you're making, so it's no wonder that your estimate is blown out the water. (Sorry if I'm wrong, you've obviously got more context on your own platform than I do!)

It does make me wonder though if there is a trend of 'hiding' necessary maintenance work in larger tasks - if so that seems to me to be indicative of a larger problem around not being given/making the time to do those jobs as their own tasks.
For my 2¢, We use squirrel at work (I haven't touched it myself though). People here seem to like it.

It's not an ORM per se, but it seems to occupy the sweet spot you're describing. It takes away some of the more tedious parts of using SQL, but allows you to still reason about what's happening under the hood without committing tons of documentation to memory.

Suits the language quite well, I think!

Porn deemed a public health crisis by Arizona politicians
I tend to disagree. To me a good ORM totally (ok, not totally, but as totally as possible) abstracts the database away from your code. That's it's purpose. You just want to work with data. You want to fetch data, persist data and delete data - you don't really want to care about how that's done. That's where a good ORM can really help you out.

However, if the ORM gets in your way, either because of API complexity, performance issues or other reasons, and you start to "battle" it as you said, you immediately move out of that context and start thinking in a more data oriented context. That's where SQL comes in.

As I said before, I think it's a question of using the appropriate tool. I've written hundreds of applications using multiple different ORMs and just plain SQL—and I'll tell you I'll pick a good ORM over raw SQL for basic CRUD operations every time.

However, I'll give you that I'll pick plain SQL over a bad ORM any day.

My own 'magnification' index is as such:

Exp: I think it should take me 3 hours this afternoon to do this -> 6 days.

I think it should take me 2 days to to this -> 4 weeks.

I think it should take me 1 week to do this -> 2 months.

I think this should take us one month to accomplish -> 2 years.

We've been using a VPS-1 on Pagely for a few years now, and are generally very happy with the service. They take away the management of Ubuntu and security hardening etc, but give you control where you need it such as SSH access - I've written a few bash scripts that use WP-CLI to make it easier to manage multiple sites. We've had one or two small issues, but all fixed quickly, and nothing of the sort that made us start looking elsewhere. You sometimes have to be persistent with first-line support, but things generally get escalated appropriately if necessary.

The one real gripe I have is that they rewrote their control panel as an SPA, and I think it's made it much less usable. It's difficult to do things like open a link in a new window, and state doesn't always remain or update in the right way - for example, you can lengthen and sort a list, go to an item, use the back button and you have to lengthen and sort the list again. However, I don't use that control panel enough to make it a serious time drag, and they're apparently writing an API which should cover most of my use cases.

Frequently the easiest path to perform a complex query with an ORM results in N+1 performance disasters. The inevitable retort is something like "but the ORM has better ways to do that." Of course it does; ORM implementers aren't incompetent. The key word is "easiest," meaning the ORM user doesn't have to spend time learning anything beyond simply chaining method calls. In production such work goes haywire when resolving some related entity causes tens of millions of round trips.

Without an ORM the easiest path is to write a single join, giving the database optimizer a fair shot at correctly optimizing the query, including over time as the database evolves. Again, yes an ORM can encapsulate the equivalent query. Guess what; for every time these ORM capabilities are actually utilized there are probably hundreds of expediently written N+1 queries because the programmer either didn't know better or was indifferent.

To a pragmatic mind this is the inevitable outcome when a tool makes the inefficient solution the easiest thing to do.

Microsoft may have changed mice (I loved almost all their Intellimouse incarnations, and most of their other PC hardware like the awesome Sidewinder game controllers) but I find Apple's Magic Mouse to be closer to the ideal.

It's a multitouch surface with several independent axes of control: Moving the mouse itself on the desk, swiping your fingers anywhere on the surface, tapping the surface, pressing the surface, with different effects depending on the number of fingers, the direction of the swipe gestures or which side you tap/press on (emulating left and right buttons.)

The body/shape may not be everyone's cup of cacao and I still prefer the discrete steps of a physical mouse wheel when scrolling through content like a list of images (because they fly too many at a time with swipe gestures), but for everything else you can't beat the flexibility of a touch surface, especially when panning through 360° content which a 1-axis wheel can't do well, even with "tilt-scrolling."

A Magic Mouse with "taptic" feedback (with the optional sensation of discrete buttons under your fingers) may be the perfection we seek.

If you find the default set of options and gestures too limiting there's BetterTouchTool [1] which lets power users customize Apple's input devices including the Touch Bar.

Ask HN: What do you use to manage TVs and dashboards at the office?
Hey HN!

At every job I've been at before, I've noticed there's always been a hacky mish-mash of software / hardware or super archaic enterprise solutions for people to show things on their TVs. It was kind of a pain for me as an engineer to swap out dashboards at my previous office.

Now that we're in the process of looking into a solution, what software / hardware combination would you guys recommend? We were considering Chromecasts, but they don't seem to have any official long-running display solution (i.e. dashboarding). We could also do Chromebits, but not sure what it's like in terms of remote management, and then we won't have casting functionality.
Thank you for this informative response!

At my previous job we implemented custom sharding and aggregation on top of Postgres 9.4 for timeseries for a monitoring product. We did it to simplify operations as we built a new product (team <4) and we knew it would be years before our scale motivated us to adopt a specialized store.

We were pleasantly surprised, however, with how far this solution took us. 3 years later we were pushing ~30 TB every two weeks and Postgres was handing it well with predictable performance characteristics. We still didn't feel a pressing need to replace Postgres (although we were moving that direction).

It's also worth mentioning that this was 9.4 Postgres which is prior to partitioning and parallelization improvements which have been landing since 9.6. So I would expect even vanilla Postgres to handle even better.

Anyway, I'm a fan of Timescale's work and share your sentiments here almost exactly.

If the goal of the legal theory is to reduce human deaths by robots, why not just reduce human deaths by robots by dismantling or repairing the appropriate robots?

Again, the legal theory works because when dealing with human beings you have to assign responsibility to human beings. Hurricanes and earthquakes kill tons of human beings and there’s no legal theory of responsibility. We simply work as a society to minimize those deaths without blaming anyone.

You're gonna have to pry the Rails from my cold dead fingers if you want me to maintain a web app's database abstraction layer long-term. No other tool works half as well as ActiveRecord.

If it's a project that wasn't built with Rails, I'm going to want https://github.com/jeremyevans/sequel if ActiveRecord is too much trouble to introduce.

It depends on the meds. MAOIs have a strengthening effect with every psychedelic, as far as I’ve read.

Anyone going for an ayahuasca treatment needs to know that an MAOI is part of that brew, so they’d have to stop their medication some weeks beforehand or risk potential death if already taking one.

The places running medical studies like Johns Hopkins probably have good info on interactions, unless they’re turning away study participants who take medication. Since they’re specifically looking at treating depression, anxiety, addiction, I suspect they’re accepting people who are already on a variety of medications.

This has Nothing to do with "Ads". It has to do with malicious scripts and gratuitous webtrash that sucks up resources.

The instant Mozilla turned off my "Noscript", I got one of those phishing popups that pretends to be from Microsuck and totally locks up Firefux.

On a machine with limited memory, cores, or what-have-you, every webprogrammer's special cute little "Animation" will run, gratuitously, and slow your machine down so much that it becomes unusable.

Maybe "Advertisers" need to finger out how to write adaptive code that doesn't depend on cutesy little videos that choke older systems to death. (I notice Amazon has done that... you can run it on nearly anything. Which is why... oh, never mind.)

Yes, there is. Probably the best four projects I worked on, there was collusion to spread out the cost of necessary maintenance across all work items. Because nobody will agree to doing maintenance stories (this is how Scrum hijacks developer ethics). Never ask permission to do something that must be done.

Or to look at it another way, if no stories are maintenance stories, then all stories are maintenance stories.
