My neighbor is convinced that climate change isn’t real and has been pushed by the left to make activists feel important. As there’s an economic slant to this, my cynical view is that there’s a chance that climate change agenda is being pushed by AstroTurfing groups to drive government handouts to the Green industry. I’m 99.9% convinced that climate change is happening and will follow the models.... but maybe I’m being scammed.

This is a false dichotomy isn't it?

Most ORMs allow the developer to bypass the ORM and use raw SQL when the need arises, so I don't really see the point of avoiding ORMs.

Across the lifespan of a project, in early stages, a developer would discover that ORMs provide code maintainability and depend heavily on it.

As project requirements increase in complexity, raw SQLs will be required because of performance reasons.
The ordering is always a problem, because your logic may not follow it. Eg if your set of conditions apply to multiple queries, then you might know your where conditions before you know your select/from clauses.

So instead of building up your sql string in a straightforward fashion, you need to have at minimum an abstraction that delays construction.

You get lead into vietnam as almost a direct result of SQL’s context-sensitive clauses.
> You can only use a fraction of the features of a SQL database when you use an ORM because they don't translate to the new paradigm

How does an ORM prevent you from using any SQL features?

When you do the sorts of complicated things that are out of scope for an ORM, you do them in SQL. I don't see any incompatibility.
I donate to the EFF and the ACLU and they haven't spammed me not sold my name AFAICT nor do they spam me too much.
Whereas I find doing too much business logic related data manipulation not performed by the database to be an anti-pattern that creates significant risks with testing and a source of data bugs.

My model of thinking is that any copy of data that isn't currently resting in the database is potentially stale; avoid round trips like the plague; get new data into the database as soon as possible.

For me and the way I work, it's less about good vs bad ORMs, rather more often a question of whether I even want my data hydrated into a special object at all. I've come to the realisation that for the kind of work I do, data objects almost always end up being an unnecessary layer of indirection that don't give me any real benefits—and they change the way you think, because every transform becomes an opportunity to write a method on an object and not a straightforward query.
Pretty much mine as well.

Can you explain a little more about how something like an agreement rule would be analyzed in this framework?

I suppose I didn't quite understand your "that selects for a particular type of super-word structure (a tree) that's headed by a noun with some set of features". Is this sort of akin to a type system in programming? Like the verb is only willing to bind with a subject noun phrase whose head has a particular feature?

Sorry to be that guy, but here is the obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/2030/.

As a tech worker, and as someone who knows about computers, I very strongly oppose electronic voting. And the more I know, the more I oppose it. It's slightly more convenient, but in exchange it's way way less secure.

Also in Spain. Votes are counted literally in the voting table, right after closing it. The counting is verified by three (randomly chosen) citizen and also by one person per party. Then the tallies are aggregated. And the vote distribution per table is then made public (which then can be compiled by the press to make interactive maps like this: https://elpais.com/politica/2019/05/01/actualidad/1556730293... ).
> ORMs don't have to be a problem but they nudge people into doing very sub optimal things.

I don't think good ORMs do any nudging. The issue arises when people assume that because they are using an ORM they don't have to learn the underlying DB. ORMs should be treated as tools that sit on top of your SQL knowledge and allow you to do certain types of things easier.

Like any tool, there are inappropriate uses cases. On one side you have people using an ORM to implement a document store, on the other side you have people that end up hand-rolling a crappy ORM because they thought they didn't need one.

RPG Codex Retrospective Review: Darklands
I don't agree with the negative comments, but I do understand them, and I don't think it just has to do with the use of a 'kit'.

A common theme I see on r/DIY is that for a project to be popular with other DIYers, the project itself has to seem like something that can be reasonably accomplished by am average person with only a little bit of help here and there. For example, something like remodeling a bathroom is still a popular DIY project even if you use a 'kit' for stuff like the shower and sink. The big appeal though is that installing new tiles, lighting elements, sinks etc are something that a lot of people can look at and say "yea, I could do that!"

This post, on the other hand, has a very "professional experience required" feel to it. From the use of heavy machinery, to having help from friends who are professional designers and hiring professional electricians, to the professional-grade photography, and even just the scale of the project itself, this definitely doesn't seem like something that an average person could reasonably expect to be able to actually "do it yourself".

If you assume that all meanings can be represented by a parse tree, then the claim here is straightforward - "Merge" is a constructor for a binary tree node, and the claim is that Merge can construct any binary tree. I think the trickier question is whether parse trees really do capture everything about a sentence .. my guess is not.

I know Seth, and he’s a really good guy. He also used to work at Chef. I signed the Chef Contributors License and their Chef Code of Conduct. I fully support his decision to pull his code.

What he has really highlighted here is a major OpSec fail on the part of the company. They should have internal repos containing trusted and verified copies of all code they are dependent on for their build and deployment process.

His code is released under an Apache license, so it is totally legit for the company to fork the repo and produce their own private version. But they really stepped in it when they changed the license after forking, removed his name, etc....
> Are you advocating that I put a bunch of magic strings in my codebase? That would be a maintenance nightmare.

Not a bunch, just the large batch queries and reports that use complicated joins. There a places where it makes sense to take the trade-off between maintainability and performance.

> Unless you think I'm suggesting that no devs should ever write SQL at all in their career? Which isn't the case.

It sure appears to be what you are suggesting. Perhaps you should clarify what you were trying to say?
I'm nearly 50 years old. You would think that if I could remember my dreams there would've been at least 1 time in the 18,000+ times I've slept in my lifetime that I would've remembered something, anything upon awakening. Anyway, not dreaming doesn't bother me, so I don't really have any incentive to try. Though I am a bit curious as to why I don't dream or remember that I've dreamed. But not curious enough to expend any energy on it ;-)
ORMs often implement only the lowest common denominator of all supported databases. Easy changing databases is in a free software world seldom a necessary requirement.
If you use a advanced feature rich database often a lot of it is not supported by the ORM.
I’ve had some success with liberally highlighting ebooks — the highlights become the “tags”.
That's a false dichotomy. We don't need your technocratic oligarchy.

Most people already do agree on what's "good" and what isn't, and yet they (rationally) choose to put their money elsewhere, because they have no guarantee that everyone else won't freeload off of their contribution. If I invest $100 in protecting a public good (like the climate), I only get one seven-billionth of the benefit; the rest goes to all of the other people on the planet. So I'll only invest if everyone else chips in, too.

The easiest solution to force cooperation like that is called ... taxation. The more difficult, but perhaps closer-to-ideal solution involves more math, see e.g. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3243656

High income.
VW says the base version of the ID.3 will only charge at up to 50kW, and owners who want to charge faster (up to 100kW) will have to pay extra

This is an unfortunate decision. Charging EVs is a collective-action problem. Selling cars that have at least double the charging time at capable public chargers contributes to that collective-action problem. VW could have set a relatively quick lower boundary on charging speed, perhaps by raising the price of the higher-version models to subsidize the price of a 100kW base model.

The problem is worse for this class of car, which is billed as long-range and thus is more likely to have the car's occupants (and other queued cars) waiting for a mid-journey charge to complete, versus a short-range car where owners are more likely to charge overnight or during a work shift.
It's horrible...

Cross Compile Reproducible RPi Images with NixOS
> Currently. Coming soon to an Intel chip near you is 57-bit virtual addressing and 5-level page tables [1]. It would be quite a bug that would only crash on new Intel hardware on probably quite full memory maps where your pointer fix up code wouldn't restore bits 48-57 correctly.

Yeah, I'd hope that code that uses such tricks would have an error check for pointers that use the bits it wants to use. Better a clean crash than corruption.

It'd be neat if a program could tell the OS what address range is acceptable. Linux has mmap(..., MAP_32BIT, ...) but obviously that's pretty limited. Maybe something like map(addr, ..., MAP_MAXADDR, ...) which would tell it addr represents the maximum acceptable address to return. So if you intend to use the top 16 bits, you could tell it this mapping can't use those.

Edit: oh, actually, I see they do something kind of like this. https://lwn.net/Articles/717293/ "An application that needs [virtual address beyond 48-bits], and which does not play games with virtual addresses, can provide an address hint above the boundary in a call to mmap(), at which point the kernel will understand that mappings in the upper range are accessible." Still not quite as flexible as I was imagining but not bad.]

Weight gain is orthogonal to this, as you could just adjust the diet.
You would have to do multiple hours of exercise to lose weight that is not just water.

But the difference for cardiovascular and respiratory systems and especially back and neck muscles is big with something as simple as basic walking exercise.

Exercise is not for weight loss, it's too stay fit and healthy. And yes, small regular exercise beats hard exhausting bursts.

Make sure you check your state laws around paying out acrued leave. You won't feel like it now, but eventually your current job will come to an end and if it's during turbulent times for the company you may find yourself really missing that 6 weeks of pay if they don't pay it out.

I am the same, typically accrue a bunch of leave then when I move to a new job they have to pay it out. But I have been burned before.
Quoting from the same page, one paragraph up from your big quote:

> In Manifest V3, this API will be discouraged (and likely limited) in its blocking form. The non-blocking implementation of the webRequest API, which allows extensions to observe network requests, but not modify, redirect, or block them (and thus doesn't prevent Chrome from continuing to process the request) will not be discouraged.

I rest my case.

This is almost certainly the wrong metaphor, since there aren't really any instances of animals that are always awake, which seems like an obvious competitive advantage.

A better metaphor is probably that the brain is normally run like a heavily overclocked CPU & with insufficient cooling, so it needs to be turned off frequently to cool down.

So "getting rid of the pause" wouldn't result in getting back time but in melting down the chip.
