I wonder if people (including me) are too afraid to write a little DSL/compiler to get us out of these spots. I.e. use Typescript most of the time, with a DSL for things like reducers. Another thing where a DSL/compiler step would be good is to convert a type into a function that will validate arbitrary JSON (e.g. received on the wire) conforms to the type.
The phrasing suggested they thought most readers would recognize the name.
Exactly. The benefits of the cloud allow you almost unlimited computing resources spread across enormous swaths of geography, power, and internet access.

Therefore, if you were impacted, its your fault, not AWS. Sorry.
Congrats on your purchase, I wish I went with mirrorless when we bought our DSLR camera back around the birth of our first child! I thought I would want access to all the available lenses and accessories for an established product.

But my photographer friend was right - mirrorless are better for amateurs and have one huge benefit: they can record video much more easily since they can focus and record at the same time.

I keep hearing this supposedly revelatory anecdote, as if caused by stress and bacterial infections are mutually exclusive factors.

It's well known that chronic stress weakens the immune system, and makes it easier for a bacterial infection to take hold.

So a more complete hypothesis is that stress can be the cause, whereas weakened immunity and consequent bacterial infection is the mechanism.

Of course, anything else that causes the immune system to be weakened can also be a cause.

Mao also said this,

“A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.”
> While some advertisements may be dishonest, I don't feel that that can be said of advertising.

I believe that it's not some, but upwards of 90% of advertisements that are manipulative and dishonest, and that's before talking about methods of delivery. Therefore, I feel justified in accusing the whole industry.

I've expanded on the topic at length here: http://jacek.zlydach.pl/blog/2019-07-31-ads-as-cancer.html.

> If I see an advertisement for a good or service which I purchase because of the ad and which subsequently benefits my life, yes the advertiser has profited, but so have I.

That's arguably a rare case. Of most product categories that are advertised you're already aware of, the goal of the advertising is to make you choose one option over other for reasons other than the value you'll get for your money.

> If I make a product which benefits humanity (say something that's a better quality, more environmentally friendly alternative to a popular product) is it not more selfish not not advertise and spread the word?

The word about that product being on the market should be spread, and it could be without getting into all the negative aspects of advertising iff everyone's attention wasn't already saturated by all the other companies advertising indiscriminately. When everyone's shouting through the megaphone at each other, you have to pick a megaphone too just to have a chance of being heard. What I'm arguing is to take everyone's megaphones away, so that we could all talk to each other.
I don't think this is a great comparison. Supercars are prohibitively expensive and incredibly limited, focused entirely on their appearance and hypothetical performance. Completely affordable cameras go above and beyond smartphone photographic capabilities and over time an owner will likely explore the entirety of its features. Comparing a supercar to a $20,000 lens would be more accurate.

If a smartphone camera is a Toyota Corolla, a nice camera is a basic luxury sedan for Sunday drives. It does everything a little better, but it's a bit pricier for less use. That being said, it's really for people who just like to drive.
Nuts and bolts programming isn't a bummer for me. There is room for creativity and ingenuity even in that kind of coding. I find the craftsmanship itself is the fulfilling bit.

The downsides arise when management injects themselves into the process. "Skip testing", "don't use source control", "don't refactor", "don't start building until the spec is complete" are some of the gems I've heard before.

It's one thing to be lazy or make mistakes - we all do it. It's another beast when you want to deliver professionally but you can't because it conflicts with a company's "way of doing things".

Multivitamins are not a replacement for a balanced diet[1], most likely provide very little protective health effects[2] and can, in some cases, be dangerous[3].

Why? What difference does it make what ratios of macronutrients individual meals are comprised of?

Founder of pingpong here. We built pingpong to prioritize long periods of uninterrupted work so that your team can be more productive. It's made for async communication and can be realtime when needed.

For our team, we found that slack was stealing our time and attention, making it difficult to do our best work with the barrage of notifications for things that aren't urgent, inter-mixed conversations, fear of missing out on a conversation because you're heads down, and the green, "presence" dot (aka hey everyone, I'm available to be interrupted).

So we made pingpong to be the antidote to its endlessly-distracting, anxiety-inducing nature. If your team feels similarly, give pingpong a spin. We'd love to get some feedback and I'm happy to answer any questions.
The cool thing about being a programmer is that you can use it in basically every field of endeavor out there. If you want to work with movies, you can work with movies. Are you passionate about urban planning, ecology or archaeology, there are lots of roles for programming in all those fields. Want to be a journalist, lots of programming and data mining happening within journalism these days.

There are basically two ways to approach a career as a programmer, one is to see programming in itself as your passion and solving the programming problem you're facing at any given moment as an ends in itself. The other is to see programming as a force multiplier to give yourself 'super powers' for doing the thing you actually care about.

>It is also interesting to look at what javascript was generated by ReasonML
```
function updateName(product, name) {
return [name, product[1]]
}
```
Records in ReasonML are represented as arrays. And generated code looks like a human wrote it if humans could remember indices of every property of every type like a compiler does.

This seems like a massive headache, what about JSON? or accessing dictionaries? Do you need to parse every js datastructure to a ReasonML record?

> std::deque has O(n) insertion/deletion in the middle

I'm curious to know from approximately which n this is a problem though. It can be easy to make something with a better O complexity that is actually slower for what computers can actually handle.

edit: nevermind, I thought deque was more "smart" than it is but it needs to move all elements when inserting / deleting in the middle, so it won't have a great constant factor.
This is how most chefs lives look like. They prepare the same meals from a menu under time pressure years after years. Maybe it's not flipping burgers in fast food, but there is little space for artisanship in the food industry. You have to be really good to do more than prepare the same thing over and over from a menu.
I don't disagree that they seem to be pushing their tool for use cases that are not needed.

I believe that ORMs try to solve a problem that fundamentally cannot work. As long as you keep the usage simple and use your database as an object store, as a majority of projects do, all is fine and dandy. But once you start to look into your database a bit more, and try to use it for what it's capable of, you'll run into problems. It it because the fundamental building block of the data model of the languages in question here are objects, while the fundamental data block of RDBMS are relations. As soon as you try to write custom queries which join columns from other tables, then the simple table<->object mapping ceases to work, the OMR becomes lost and it starts to get in the way, and can make you lose a lot of time.

I've personally settled on using a "light" ORM, which does the mapping of result sets to objects, variable replacement, and connection handling, and I write the SQL myself. It's still not ideal, because for statically types languages I need to write ad-hoc object types for query results, or deal with untyped data, but at least I don't get any surprises.

Depends on the toxin. I can't think of any example off of the top of my head, and it's a bit hard.

Toxins that bioaccumulate either are produced outside and don't work well inside a biological system (heavy metals, etc) or are fat-soluble

Easiest for plants to do is make neurotoxins as they don't have a nervous system to get bothered by it. But those are usually water-soluble.
> It’s really hard to celebrate “women’s day” with free feminist speakers when I just found out some guy who does the same work as me is getting paid 20% more.

A nice camera is NOT a luxury sedan in the context of this metaphor. The reason being that the extra affordances of carrying the driver plus four or more passengers, having a trunk/boot that can carry a full load of groceries/luggage and so forth are all characteristics of a general-purpose vehicle.

As I see it, the phone is a general-purpose device that also takes pictures, just as a sedan is a general-purpose vehicle, whether luxurious or not. Whereas, a camera just does one thing (two if you count video separately.)

Thus, to me, a dedicated camera at any price is like a two-seater sports car with hardly any trunk room. You can buy cheaper sports cars, sure, but they still lack the affordances of a sedan.

To me, a “luxury sedan” corresponds to a high-end phone.

That being said, all metaphors/similes are leaky, so you are probably “not wrong.”

Just imagine the US would have some kind of system where your medical condition does not force you to stick with the job that makes you ill. Wonder if anyone has tested that before and it works. /sarcasm

In all honesty: I don't understand why the US is not having a public health care system like Europe which stops stuff like this.

also there are ways of discovering if something gonna be poisonous for you.

You first put in contact with the skin, wait for reaction, than a small portion on tong.

If no reaction was observed, then ingest a small quantity.

I personally don't think that the lens market will drop like that. While new purchases of cameras are slowing dramatically, there are still a lot of photographers out there and so good lenses will always be in high demand.

There's an unequal power dynamic. There's been excessive aggression on both sides. There are many example of the police using far excessive force, of shooting tear gas in MTR stations, of terrorizing innocent bystanders when going after protesters.

If the protestors are prosecuted for what they did, but the police get to walk away, it's unacceptable to them. They won't accept it.

- SQL is not an artificial layer, an ORM however is
- SQL is a language, it's up to you as a developer to tune your queries against your database (e.g. create and use partitioning, indexes, statistics gathering etc.)
- If your using an ORM just to send data via a native protocol then why use the ORM in the first place?
- Performance tuning is very closely related to how you write your SQL
- This is my opinion but I think almost any usage of an ORM will mostly be bad, no real arguments to support otherwise. Let the database do the work, that's what it's there for.
