I'm not sure it did, immediately.

We'd had the Khobar Towers bombing, my dad was in the first Gulf War and even before that I remember him checking under the car in the UK for devices before we could get in because of the IRA. So I was already aware it was a relatively messed up part of the world, but separately terrorism and plane crashes were perhaps already more part of my worldview than for most people. I felt slightly numb to it compared to those around me at the time if I'm honest.

I think it was probably the wider Western reaction to 9/11 rather than my own, that meant I increasingly viewed Saudi as a more isolated, riskier place. Since then overheard comments about how you never saw anyone in a wheelchair have reverberated over the years with more meaning as an adult hearing about human rights records and becoming a father has moved me further from any personal desire to return.

I always found the people we met genuinely welcoming and kind though, as is so often the case when you meet individuals rather than succumb to broad strokes. On that level I think the relationship went deeper than oil but we've undone a lot of that. When I hear about things like beginning to issue tourist visas or even just getting the Ruiz Joshua fight it leaves me hopeful that in time we'll overcome the divisions that seem apparent despite talk of special relationships.

There are places for Germans to save but they really dislike investments or any type of risk. Sure, Germany could borrow more and issue bonds but I doubt this would change yields for those bonds so much that investing in them is worth it for retail investors. The demand by institutional investors (insurances, pension funds) easily outweigh retail demand.

Also, how would Germany invest in infrastructure if order books at construction companies are filled 1-2 years in advance? If anything, they'd fuel inflation and price out private investment.

It's kind of insane that attorney fees are allowed to go that high (and higher). Really just predatory and bad when you think about it. In a lot of lawsuits, the plaintiff's attorney can essentially set whatever rate they want and then force the defendant to pay a cost that's far above any damages allowed by the law.

I sincerely doubt moving is ripe for "disruption". Moving is all about managing the humans. That doesn't scale and isn't affected by technology. The biggest problem is making sure that NONE of the humans involved in the process suck.

Graebel has moved me every single time I have had to move across the US. They have moved me almost a dozen times. The packers and unpackers showed up somewhere between 30 minutes to an hour early. They will pack and inventory your entire house--in no more than 2 days. The truck driver will load in no more than a day, and generally about half of one. The truck driver will beat you to your destination if you dawdle at all. They will unpack at destination, and put it in your cupboards and closets if you are there to direct them. The packing will be amazing and everything will get there with no broken pieces. And, to this day, I am convinced that the single box that disappeared was my fault somehow. And Graebel handled everything when something went wrong--packer missing? another guy dispatched within an hour. Big rig can't get into complex? Small relay truck dispatched immediately. Truck broke down--another one dispatched transparently to grab the load and keep it moving. Trucker got in early--truck unloaded into storage and delivered on smaller rig.

This has cost me somewhere around $5K-$6K each time--Graebel would have definitely charged more if they thought they could get away with it (they should have--I would have paid it). You are talking easily 125 man-hours or more. That's about $40-$48 an hour if everything went to labor and the truck driver--and it doesn't. You have all of the people in the offices coordinating everything, you have all the fleet and logistics management as well as storage spaces. I suspect that people are probably around $20/hour or less when all is said and done.

I have had HORDES of people with moving horror stories, and yet I had never had one. Apparently, Graebel was so much better than the rest of the industry that it prevented this.

And yet the old Graebel is no more--I have no idea who to call the next time I have to move. Apparently people would rather have their stuff broken and stolen rather than pay the people handling your valuables enough to avoid the problem.

This is just like the airlines. People claim to be unhappy, but when push comes to shove, they're such cheap bastards that they'll buy the $10 cheaper ticket and either get nickle and dimed to death or get treated like sardines in a tin can.

Edit: The US HAD a moving company like the Japanese one below. And it went under because Americans are too fscking cheap.

Me too.. I lived in Riyadh in 84-86 and 89-91 as a 3rd, 4th, 8th, and 9th grader, first on the Saudi British Bank compound, and finally at the end in the Diplomatic Quarter.

I always thought as a kid Saudi Arabia was one of the "good guys", as allies to the U.S., despite their strange customs and obviously stupid rules about women driving and covering up.

Nowadays I wish the U.S. did not ally with any country that is run by a dictator, and/or hasn't separated church from state.

Portchain (container shipping startup) | Devops/Infrastructure Engineer | Remote | Copenhagen, Denmark

Requirements:

5 years minimum of professional experience in managing and setting up highly available distributed infrastructure. Experience with any or all of the following technologies is a plus: Terraform, AWS, Node.js. Startup experience valued.

Our company:

Did you know that 90% of all goods globally are transported through a container, and the largest container vessels are 400 meters long and can transport 20,000 containers at a time? The container shipping industry is the back-bone and enabler of global trade, but it is struggling. At its core the industry is fundamentally inefficient: 50% of all container vessels globally are delayed coming into port, and key planning processes are done manually on a global scale. This leads to high operational costs, lost revenue, and unnecessarily high greenhouse gas emissions

Portchain is a 2 year old Danish container shipping startup devoted to help container carriers and terminals reduce operational complexity and optimize planning. We apply cutting-edge AI leading to both a better bottom line and less greenhouse gas emissions.

We are an international team of 15 people serving a global customer base and several of the largest companies in the industry. We have received $5M in funding to expand the team in order to serve our increasing customer traction.

My point is that Americans were willing to pay that price even though the actual threat of Nazi Germany was not even in the same ballpark as the threat posed by climate change. I'm also reasonably sure that the switch away from fossil fuels can be done without hundreds of thousands dead.

Everybody who reads the query knows how it will work. You don't need to see the query plan.

The where clause at the end will filter to the desired rows. The left join will do absolutely nothing bad.

The purpose of the left join is to include voters who might not be assigned to a precinct.

It's a perfectly fine and performant query.

Outputting the query also doesn't really make any difference. Despite what the people on Twitter are saying showing the query does not make SQL injection easier or harder, it's irrelevant.

The big problem with the query is the lack of bound parameters. It's possible to do that safely in theory, but in practice it's not a good idea.
If they're Canadian citizens, then aren't they still getting taxed? If by "Canada loses", you mean that they lose entrepreneurs, then it seems like (from what the startup scene people were saying in that article) the opposite is actually occurring.

Also, if your hypothesis were true, you probably wouldn't see an influx of big companies (e.g. Google, Microsoft, Intel, Uber, etc.) opening shop in Canada - the companies are obviously moving to the people in this case. Seems fairly obvious to me (as an Australian looking at options for permanent residence in the US) that the US has sabotaged its brain draining ability in the last few years.

That only matters if your SQL data is ever meant to be used in isolation. If the only appropriate way to access the data and retain integrity is either through the same set of applications that insert it, or through fucntions written to mediate access within the SQL instance, than how the data is stored on disk is mostly irrelevant.

If all your access is mediated by a layer that takes care of this, then complaining about how it's stored in SQL is no different than complaining about how your DBMS is storing the data on disk. It doesn't matter, you aren't supposed to be doing anything with it there anyway.

Data integrity is not something a database can ensure, for any non-trivial use. ANSI SQL provides tools to help ensure data integrity, through data types, referential integrity checks if you define them and they are supported, but ultimately, those tools can only account for what the database supports. Will they prevent the favorite_color field from receiving the data that should have been entered into the pet_name field? Unlikely?

It's no different in programming languages and bugs (as a data integrity problem is a bug in data domain). Using C, Java, Rust and Haskell will not prevent all your bugs, and Perl, Python, JavaScript and Bash do not mean you will have bugs. A bug free Perl script is possible, and so is a bug riddled Rust script, as not all bugs are (or even can be) caught by the assurances the more strict languages provide.

Unless all your SQL in a schema use is through a directly connected SQL client that loads data directly from native SQL formats, runs queries, and exports data as the output of those queries, the applications that have ingress and egress to that database are what really matters for data integrity, and worrying that a date field might contain 1111-11-11 as a special sentinel value that means something other than what null value in the same field means is being unable to see the forest for the trees.

But I think prioritizing performance is worth the flack.

Seeing repos/articles like this deeply warm my heart, maybe us VanillaJS devs are not alone after all!

Does anybody have other favorite VanillaJS projects, that they could share?
You should meet a friendly lawyer (perhaps an ex classmate who went to law school) and have them "show you the ropes". There's a ton of unnecessary crap that customers (err, "clients") ask for or could and should do themselves.

And there are places lawyers can help a lot (hint: typically not business decisions).
> I have spend at least 15 hours trying to self host things with docker with little success ... reading the manual for each app, creating configuration files for the app you want to host and then mounting them in to the container, then you have to set up a database, reverse proxy, certificate renewal, and then you have to network it all together

Being with 0 experience with Docker and only with bare Linux experience, I'v set myself to set up nextcloud + mysql + nginx-proxy (with some custom config) + letsencrypt via docker containers on arm platform.

Learning docker basics, some docker-compose, I'v got that set up in a few evenings, maybe some 6 to 10 hours total (including first time experience of setting up raspberry pi with external storage). nginx-proxy being hardest part for me, as perfect image that fits arm platform was made available just after fair amount of searching and trying to understand what it takes to make it compatible with arm.

After all, I was really pleased with what I felt how much docker saved time for me. Maybe not really fast, but some productive full working day that is. I'v learned something about a new technology that gave me nice preconfigured webserver with hardened TLS settings etc. I thought, if I'd have to go down the route of manually installing this dependency, configuring this and that, etc - uh, that would surely have taken me longer.

The other side being a joy was - hey, I can host this all on a single raspberrypi, the frontend is isolated from backend and I can still add stuff behind nginx-proxy (and it will be isolated from nextcloud frontend), as my RAM usage is somwhere around 512MB.

Just wanted to share how I feel about Docker when putting my hands on it (single host, swarmless scenario)
The problem is you need a boat load of additional code to cover unset. Not just in SQL (syntax is different for NULL than it is for comparing any other type) but often also in your importing language too (eg some languages will cast NULL to a nil value that can actually raise exceptions or even crash your application if not handled correctly).

Capturing those edge cases is non-trivial compared checking the value of a char.

In an idea world your unit tests and CI pipelines would catch all of those but that depends on well written tests. Thus in my experience having fewer hidden traps from the outset is automatically a better design than one that perfectly fits an academic theory but is harder to support in practice.

I missed out on a formal CS education. I found my way, but I always saw it as all of those things you never had time to research deeply. Otherwise, it's just a trade school. For example, you've implemented a few basic sorting algorithms so you feel confident in choosing one or kicking the tires on a new one you've never heard of. Knowing how an OS is put together gives you an idea where things should go.

Its not beside the point. It directly refutes the other commenters point. You don't get to jump in to a discussion between others and retroactively decide what the point was. How rude.
Again, it's taxes vs private money. And "the whole deal" really was about a politically unified Europe, the "purely economic union" wasn't a thing anymore when the east expansion happened. That certainly was parts of it, but let's not create alternative history.

Besides, "lost and won" is terribly weird when you just look at money flows but exclude goods. Hey, sell me your $30k car for $1000, you'll be the winner, because you get $1000 from me and we'll not look at the car. Not saying that that's an accurate description of EU-trade, just that it's weird to only look at money flows.

Another problem with that in general is that it's not just about old and new EU members. Luxembourg is an old member, is the tax oasis that works hard to help companies evade taxes in France and Germany, and is also leeching EU subsidies, not contributing to the EU funds.
Except that if it goes on for too long, a bunch of people end up building a life/business/network/etc there. Someone up-thread mentioned that this is how Hollywood ended up on the other side of the country to New York.

That often just smacks of playing status games while living large. Which I think is what the OP is getting at.
> That's like saying the only chefs who make a living out of it are the ones that make it to Chopped or Top Chef.

Thanks for that comparison! With Top Chefs, most of them make a living as a chef or cook. With The Voice, most of them don't (not even as backing vocals). Why is that you think? To make a living as a chef or cook, you need to be in the top 90%. To make a living singing (even as backing vocals), you need to be in the top 0.1%.
Sure, but this that is a function of what you can negotiate. There are solid gigs posted there. I see a lot of single-developers just looking for some help on their side hustle. That is interesting because you get paid to be in the passenger seat in someone’s entrepreneurial journey. Lots of learning beyond code.

I agree there might be better paid gigs elsewhere.
Cheers! What kind of features would you like to see added?
I'm surprised that's a thing. IANAL but I naively think that if they pulled that on me I would say we had an oral agreement which is legally just as binding as a written one.

> Everybody who reads the query knows how it will work. You don't need to see the query plan.

No, we don't. Is there an index join between any of the tables? Is there an index on the name in some fashion and/or on the zip code. All we know is that this query can _probably_ not be answered by index only. What's the relative sizes of the tables (even that's not entirely clear)? Are any tables clustered by the filter criteria?

You wouldn't know and if you think you do, you should read up on possible access plans in modern database systems.
