I think that in general animals and people learn most efficiently by making mistakes. Sure, I am talking about mistakes that do not kill us. But even mistakes that kill, have hopefully a learning effect on those who observe.

I think as well that we as a society should learn to be more empathic, more tolerant, to learn how to forgive, and to avoid mob judgements.

Both, are my opinions. I don't know if there are any studies or references to this.

The Bizarre Behavior of Rotating Bodies
Why are you assuming that people haven't tried? When I went to university in Germany, Wittgenstein and Adorno were cult figures.

People were reading their works because it was fashionable (yes, hard-copy, cover to cover). I did, too. Now I think it was a waste of time.

The Tractatus is an unordered collection of pretty mundane observations which do not inspire any useful thought.

And the Tractatus was the work with the highest cult status.

With all the discussions on how realistic the geekbench results are, why isn't there an open source benchmark suite which can be run as an app on iOS devices which would give a more thorough comparison between different architectures?

Right, only querying a few fields seems not to be a builtin feature. Looks like you have to create the partial selectable type yourself and there is no support to typecheck that the correct columns in the select are included.

Your second case, if I recall this correctly (ActiveRecord made my SQL skills fade away), this plain JOIN would just return a row with the same book but a different author. `to_jsonb(authors.*)` is just operating on a single row. But what you want is possible (aggregating rows into a JSON object) by using `jsonb_agg`. Whether the lib supports inferring the correct typings for that is another question though.
Implementing Policies in Kubernetes
I like C4 because the diagrams are easy to understand irrespective of the industry and those diagrams cover an abstraction span that's impossible to cover through one diagram. I didn't get the feeling that it has to be 4 diagrams and I pick and choose myself.

I get it that the example you gave works for your project, but if I took that and transplanted it into mine I'd expect a lot of questions at least about the relationships (arrows) and probably also about the responsibilities of the components (boxes).

Having a textual description of the above certainly helps and should be done, but people tend to focus on the diagrams and ignore the text in my experience.
I've never been a fan of codegen, but I think I could get past it for this library - it looks great!

I love how it let's you use SQL, while taking full advantage of TypeScript's wonderful typing system to give you intellisense and compile-time checking. Reminds me a bit of the SQL type provider for F# (which I was amazed by when I first saw it in action).

I really like the way the readme has been written too - it gives a real insight into the thought processes that led to the final result.

Do Stocks Outperform Treasury Bills? (2018)
I've been a dev for about as long as you were and keep flirting with the idea of moving into a dedicated SA space. How do you feel about the current trend towards togaf and ITIL? Are the useful, useless, good to cherry pick?

Also did you enjoy your last 20 yrs as a SA compared to if you stayed in some type of development? I'm quite interested in your back story as there's not a lot of seasoned SAs where I live.
I don't do object relational mappings generally. I instead query by id or a few other columns and construct objects from json documents stored in text columns.

Frameworks for that are awesome and a lot easier to deal with and serializing/deserializing overhead is typically minimal. Columns in databases only have two purposes: indexed columns for querying (ids, dates, names, categories, etc.) with or without some constraints, and raw data (json or for simple structures some primitive values. Some databases even allow you to query the json directly but in my experience this is kind of fiddly to set up and not really worth the trouble. The nice thing is that most domain model changes don't require database schema changes this way because the only thing affected is your json schema. This makes iterating on your domain model a lot easier. You still have to worry about migrations of course.

The added value of using a database is being able to manipulate them safely with transactions and query them efficiently. Bad ORM ends up conflicting with both goals and the added value of well implemented ORM is usually fairly limited. At best you end up with a lot of tables and columns you did not really need mapped to your objects and classes.

A good table structure often makes for a poor domain model and vice versa. The friction you get from the object relational impedance mismatch is best avoided by treating them as two things instead of one. Bad ORM shoves this under the carpet and in my experience does not address this (other than by providing the illusion this is not a problem).
> What we really need is a less shitty version of SQL.

My view is the opposite. The power of SQL perpetuates a low-quality software culture. The root issue is a dev culture that can't see past databases.

A lot of software design runs like this: (1) translate business patterns into a relational schema; (2) build interactions with that schema; and (3) as that gets harder, use SQL arcana and ORMs and views and stored procedures to squeeze out flexibility.

I worked like this for the first decade of my career. My systems got some use, and struggled along, but they are failed projects.

Repeatedly I had this feeling: the project is almost done, but there are some concurrency issues where I would not even know how to start addressing them.

The database-centric design made it impossible to work past that.

After much searching, I came to this: Stored State is a brittle and unwieldy thing, and you want as little of it in your life as possible. The more you have, the harder you have to work to get anything done. Databases are an institution of Stored State.

As an alternative, you can derive state from messages.
> Just worried about forcing colleagues having to learn SQL instead of using a fancy wrapper

I'd argue that learning SQL is essential for any developer.

It's also a "reusable" skill that will stand them in good stead for decades - whereas learning how to use the fancy wrapper is only useful until the next new shiny comes along.

Many years ago when I thought this was funny, I had a friend who would donate $10 in cash to Focus on the Family, Southern Poverty Law Center, DNC, RNC. For $40 they would get a deluge of mailers, calls, even visits. My friend feels bad to this day because the spam continues 30 years later.

I had this done to me many addresses ago and it’s bizarre how many mailers say something like “donate now so we can raise more donations because of terrible thing C”

I think the issue not covered in the nice article is that it’s not just coordination it’s competence. I think the reason why smart people don’t donate is that there’s not something to buy. If you have almond industry level funds to a cause it would like just result in a bunch of marathons and commercials. Smaller amounts, well placed seem much more effective.

Let me preface that I do find Wittgenstein very interesting and I enjoyed reading his works. But your critique of the article is really bad.

> It's a type of transaction that I bet takes place every single day in every single tech-sector business between a smart-guy code monkey and a dimwit pointy-haired boss and, for some reason, it's always the pointy-haired boss who walks away with his overconfidence in tact and the code monkey that walks away having been made to feel bad about themselves, when it should be the other way around.

How is this related to the article? You have some (potentially correct) grievance about imbalanced power relationships in the workplace leading to stupid person winning argument. But this is not the situation here. I don't think the blog author has some power over Wittgenstein.

> It is true about pretty much any philosopher of note that they are thought of as being hard to understand

Russel is a great example of a very clear philosopher. Heck, Russel's main complaint with Hegel, for example, was failure to use clear logic.

> That's not because those philosophers are altogether so very overrated. It's because the readership is mostly comprised of people who are not as smart as those philosophers.

This is a hard sell. I've ready many books and research papers by great physicists and mathematicians. People who are as "smart" as the best of philosophers (and certainly smarter than me), but mostly their works are quite clear.

----

I think there is a tendency among, especially, austrian and german philosophers to write in sentences that are hard for modern Americans to parse. I suspect this is not a function of "intellect" but rather the prevalent writing style. A lot of philosophical works used lots of indexical references and non-linear patterns. Yet, we are now taught to write with direct, short sentences. Books and other media we read are full of such language. Even our long sentences usually have only dependent clauses. This makes it hard for us to parse out things like:

"Thus the word “is” appears as the copula, as the sign of
equality, and as the expression of existence; “to exist” as an intransitive verb like “to go”; “identical” as an adjective; we speak of something but also of the fact of something happening." (3.323, picked somewhat at random by opening a book and looking for a long sentence on the page)

With no particular loss of meaning (but with greatly improved comprehension, albeit somewhat more verbose, the fault being all mine as it is too late) we could have:

"Thus the word "is" forms a copula that can have two meanings: a sign of equality or an expression of existence. When used to mean "equality," it links an adjective with the object. But, when used to mean "existence," it is an intransitive verb unbound to an object. Thus "is" allows us to speak of something (an object) but also of something happening (no object)."

Long story short: Renault Zoe is actually a terrible car. As it was the previous versions of the Nissan Leaf.

The reason why they sold quite a few number of cars is because they were the only ones in the market within their price range.

Why are they terrible? Mandatory battery rental, low range, expensive when compared to their ICE counterparts and no active cooling of their batteries which made them degrade a lot over a short time.

Those electric offerings were just some lazy attempts of expanding their product range to electric and they weren't true attempts to make a good electric product.

I'm more curious about the state of that yurt in 5, 10, 15 years. Heating, humidity, insulation, energy bill, insects, hygiene, maintaining the toilet and the hygiene issues that come with it.

Building codes don't exist without good reasons. Health and comfort don't happen by snapping finger at good ideas. I would really be interesting if construction engineers seriously studied yurts.

I have to say this looks pretty nice and it's pretty cheap, but humans did not start building with hard materials without good reasons. Even without fossil energy, humans still started to use stone, cement, etc.

I guess brick has a very long lifespan, it's worth the time spent, but I don't know if it's cheap.

In defence of conspiracy theories (and why the term is a misnomer)
Fun fact: My grandfather was a sound recordist on location for The Third Man. One day Reed told him to just grab his gear and come with him to the restaurant after they had finished shooting for the day. IIRC it was quite late, and it was a nightmare to record because of all the background noise from the restaurant. Probably another reason they re-recorded later.

They shot the Ferris Wheel over the course of a whole day, going around and around and around whilst there was light. The cars were quite small for filming, so Reed, the cameraman and my grandfather were pressed up against the other side as far back as they could. He would recall it as being a grueling day.

I don't know if they ended up re-shooting that later, because in the film the background out the windows looks projected. He never watched any films he worked on, so might not have known.

He had so many stories from that shoot, which was odd because he didn't like talking about work, so I got the impression it was one of his favorite location shoots.

Using both should be fine.. SQL alone encourages early optimization that might slow down the development, especially when you don't have the complete non-functional requirements.
