India as a whole is on the verge of some totally different set of changes which won't end up well on the longer run. Pollution, excessive sugar consumption, unhygienic living, sedentary lifestyles will likely destroy a lot of what my generation is living through. This could be anecdotal evidence, but I hear male fertility problems in men above age 30 very common these days.

Almost every home has people with diabetes/hypertension. And every neighborhood has thyroid camps every now and then, and you see a huge mass of women there. Dengue and other infectious disease breakouts are becoming common and you see a rise every 6 months or so. There are waiting queues running into months for open heart surgeries in affordable hospitals, which should tell you the overall direction of health situation here.

This is beyond a total political meltdown looming above the whole country.

Netflix refers to a company, an app, a third-party app on some Smart TVs, and a subscription service, but people don’t generally get confused. Consistent branding isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

That said, Apple’s support for third-party Smart TV apps is actually quite unusual IMHO; this really reduces their usual control over quality and experience.
That's cool, I've made a recent switch from front-end to product design myself. I'm finding that my engineering background is an advantage over other designers without technical experience.

And by the way, it's totally possible to learn good enough visual design skills to be effective. IMO the idea that only certain special people can be visual designers is part of the same false narrative that causes us to trust people with no technical understanding to design interfaces.
Ah of course. Nothing like this happened when Jobs was around ;)

Have you looked into postgrest's "select" parameter?
Your comment about the "scope" of the query applies here too.

Also GraphQL is a protocol and you can't really say it will have poor performance, it all depends on the specific implementation of a particular schema. You can have a GraphQL schema where each query gets translated into a single sql query [1] jsut like with postgrest. One thing that is true is that the reference implementation for graphql servers (but only because it has to be general) pushes one in a direction where a single graphql request might generate a storm of sql queries but it's on developer to understand and write proper resolvers.

Not an unusual lobby study. Then they turn around and tell everyone to teach more physics in school and invest in the field/studies. I've seen similar ones for very different professions with similar outcomes. A but unusual to see it for a field of study on its own though, I guess they have a strong lobby somewhere.
I know you’re being downvoted because your comment is based on the content not the name, but on the name thing, Netflix actually tried to spin their DVD business to be called ‘Qwikster’, but I think people got angry for some reason(?) so they kept the Netflix name for both. So that was maybe a bit confusing for a while.

Shouldn't? Why?
What about Teledesic?
I'm a developer, and knowing how this is the default is not something I particularly like, but it's really only in the most security/mission critical code that dependencies get thoroughly wetted.

You can fully expect that less then 1% of the apps in any app store has a transitive dependency chain that is fully known and understood by the author to any meaningful extent.

Most of that code is however understood by someone, although not necessarily the app developer. The sandboxing and app permission dialogue boxes are unfortunately a critical part of the defense against malicious code, although not a perfect one by any stretch of the imagination.

In India it's important to make a distinction between farm laborers and farmers. Traditionally what people referred to as farmers in India are basically feudals, and they are by no means poor people, they are easily some of the richest people in India.

Farm laborers are a totally different set of working class people. Who only until recent decades were into as bad as a thing like bonded labor. They work on starving wages and are generally poor and from lower castes.

India for very long has given feudals unlimited loan bailouts, and freebies. They also pay no taxes. Most of my friends who come from farmer families has gone to do expensive education in countries like US. And they are often confused with farm laborers and they milk this perception to the very extreme.

Imagine being so rich you hold large banks of land, make windfall profits, pay zero taxes on them and get freebies(seeds, fertilizers, water, electricity) and then being confused as the poorest people in India.

Its the farm laborers that need help. And they are unfortunately treated very badly. Heck many people don't even recognize their existence.
Thanks! It's cool to hear about other people who've made that same transition. I agree, the technology understanding is a big piece of how I want to present myself. Just a matter of finding the 'right' next position.

Any resources you felt helped you in that switch?
Thank you for the kind words! I can't take credit for breaking any real ground though. My experiments are quite small in scale!

I agree, formally verifiable operating-systems should really be the future. Take a look at Muen, they've done an amazing job at making a formally verified kernel in SPARK.

Not necessarily the syntax of a specific language, but more the ur-syntax of what sort of operations are available to work with and what things they do. A good programmer doesn't necessarily have the exact syntax memorized for mapping over an array, but "it's straightforward to build an array by applying a function to every element of an array" should be there when it's relevant to the problem you're solving.
Yes more public chargers will be great to have.

I'm always curious about how incidental exposure like this affects the biology of the body. It seems like there are many cases where mild exposures to things like pathogens, allergens, toxins, etc build up resistance in the body and gird it for future exposure.

I wonder if there is any mechanism where this could be true for second hand smoke. There clearly are some folks that have a better resistance to lung cancer than others...my father in law smokes 3-5 packs a day for 50 years, no emphysema, no lung cancer, wtf. He did have polio when he was a kid, maybe that helped.
The examples in these docs start with querying tables, and only afterwards go "oh, it also works with views, if you need more complex filtering".

How are you sure that your code gets compiled properly? Do you read the assembly generated for the processor and the source code for your compiler?

Are you sure that your machine code gets run properly? Do you test the CPU hardware and all the logical gates and whatnot so that they respond to the schemes and it passes the electric current properly?

Like xkcd 378, we could follow this logic quite deep. At some point you just have to trust, or at least assume that something is going to work, without properly verifying it yourself.

Smarter people than me have essentially dedicated their life to some extremely specific area of computing. It's not reasonable to assume that I could and should deep-dive into every possible nook and cranny just in order to build an application. I already have to do a whole lot of assumptions because of my hardware used for development, my OS and software tools like my IDE, task runners and yes, external libraries.

> It's also completely unsurprising. Apple has no love nor concern for their developers anymore. It used to be the premier development platform in the world. Now it's ... I don't even know anymore.

"Physics-based industries, it says, include electrical, civil and mechanical engineering, as well as computing and other industries reliant on physics research."

This model feels overly broad. For instance I'd agree developing a new process for microprocessor production is physics centric, but writing sofware is not and both are part of 'computing'.

As I stated elsewhere in this thread, vscode absolutely chews up my battery power. That's a practical concern. If I run several Electron apps on my laptop I'd be lucky to get an entire commute's worth of battery life out of it.
I disagree completely. By that reasoning, a presidential candidate of Chinese descent who was a natural born American citizen but had relatives back in china would be disqualified, and that is nowhere justified by the constitution. A private company likewise shouldn’t be able to discriminate on speculative threats alone. What if they had a relative in prison, a hostile coercive environment by any measure?

I accept that I do not qualify for a high security clearance because I’m married to a Chinese national. I don’t think that should have any bearing on any other jobs that don’t require such clearances (nor my wife nor my son should be subject to such restrictions).

The population density of Delhi is 29K people per sq mile which is one of the highest in the world. Tokyo, for example, has a population density of 16k.

India's population density is not really a problem though, the problem is lack of urbanization and absolutely horrible California like land regulations that prevent building new cities and infrastructure.

Delhi's pollution is not caused by Delhi, it is caused by neighboring farming zones that burn the stubble.
Their own apps certainly isn't following the same rules, newer have, and probably never will unless forced by law. There probably are, and have been quite a feq things on any iPhone/Pad that only Apple apps can do. Although I don't have my ear that close to the ground, they seem to get more and more aggressive about protecting their turf in any way they can.
>> The new measurement puts the size of the proton to around 0.833 femtometers, against the previously accepted figure of 0.842 femtometers.

1 femtometer = 10^−15 metres. Also commonly called a fermi.

It's a quick read, worth the click to read how they measured it, and at least see CERN's imagined rendition of what the "turmoil of quarks and gluons" that make up a proton might look like.
> Are there other reasons this hasn't seen more widespread adoption?

This approach had widespread adoption in the 1990's, most notably via PowerBuilder[0].

> Is there some inherent architectural flaw or just not enough incremental benefit?

Yes, there is an inherent architectural flaw with two-tiered systems in that they force a system to choose to place complexity either in the GUI or in the RDBMS. This often leads to "Jenga Programming" maintenance techniques which cause the code base to take a life of its own.

It turns out that this does not scale.

Is it really ‘consent’ if you are being threatened with those kinds of things?
This is a straw man argument. Who is making that point?

In general, I find the opinions on these things to be pretty consistent: the “free market” types tend to support Apple/MS - usually with some form of “its their platform” as an argument - and the FOSS types holding the opposite position.
I think it's less of a culture war, and more just that people who don't know about the convenience of solutions like superchargers and free at-work charging get triggered when someone suggests that everyone get EVs, because they think apartment dwellers are being left out.

Setting aside those who can't even buy cars, and those who have very limited income or job options, some apartment dwellers can make it work pretty easily.

Sadly some people who could purchase EVs needlessly delay their EV purchases because they think they don't have charging solutions. I know; I was one of those people.

It's just a matter of education. Once people learn about the options available (again, at-work charging and superchargers for example), this should become less contentious.

But while I think that many people (not everyone) do have some solutions available, I would agree that we need to continue adding more public chargers.

This kind of thing creates tension that leads to civil unrest. It is by far the biggest problems the Uighurs have with the central Chinese government, but the inability to have their own time be official (even though it exists and is widely used) definitely does the parties no favors.

There are tools to simplify this task. It’s much harder to do for TypeScript than for Java, mostly because NPM ecosystem is a huge pile of junk, but it’s still important part of developer's job.
This reminds me of a paper from google, where they try to determine how risky a change to a file is, according to its commit history. Given you use semantic commit messages, you can just look on the number of fix() commits and infer a risk level.
