> I love HK and China is killing what’s great about the place.

Massive inequality and the lower class literally living in cages?

Okay, that was rude, but I have a feeling that what is driving most of what's great about it (almost unparalleled economic freedom being that driver) leads to that outcome. The vibrant cultural scene etc is a side effect of that inequality and the riches it provides to the upper class.
This is probably too early to share, but I've been flushing out a Node/TS ORM that integrates dataloader from day 1:

https://github.com/stephenh/joist-ts

Disclaimer, it's being used in low-volume production by us, but that is about it, so ymmv. The "docs" is the sample app used for integration tests/etc.

I mention it b/c I agree with the article that GraphQL is super-easy to N+1, but the Hasuras/Postgraphiles are a fairly different application architecture than "I'd like some ActiveRecord-style domain objects".

Prisma is also promising, but AFAIU more of "a really great query layer" than "how you'd write your domain objects", which is what I wanted to focus on.

I was originally a node/JS skeptic, but it is uncanny how well the JS "limitation"/architecture of an event-loop + async/await basically provides Haxl-style batching "for free" to the application programmer.
The second example is a medical IoT telemetry device. If the parent’s project had antenna in package I totally believe $20M for the project, especially as it includes rf validation, the bringing it to market part. $1M per engineer is a lot, especially for typical VLSI cad stuff, but possible for some “design” tools. I’ve used some specialized field solvers that cost $500k per engineer. Not sure that AiP in 2017 would’ve required that, but maybe.
One need not view this as "damaging" the plants. It is also a crude signalling mechanism. The plants need the bees in order to survive as a species. If they're able to feed the bees in times of famine, both the bees and the plants win.

Furthermore, a plant species that can help to feed bees during a pollinator-famine is a plant species that is going to get a lot of pollinator support.

I find a difference (dare I say flaw) with Zoom type communication for unstructured team conversations is that without physical cues and without the ability to break into quick subconversations, chats among say 9 people are more likely to be dominated by a handful of leaders/big talkers than in real life.
I've been taking a writing class through Second City, and I've found it incredibly useful to write out my first drafts on paper, by hand. I don't think I'm losing any time by having to type my second draft into the computer afresh - you're going to be looking at it anyway, and it's useful to be forced to reread every word. It's easy to skip over parts if you don't need to touch them.

There's the bonus that my notebook had no flashing lights, no notifications, no way for me to switch to my email.

Also I enjoy the tactility of a fountain pen on paper.
Also New Territories can have reverted back to China without need for any agreement with the British, since they were only on lease to British till 1997 and was not a British possession in the legal sense.

No, I just went through applications, and that's not a thing, except with a few rich parents who are desperate to get their kid who has slacked off for years into a decent school.
> Hong Kong is a province of China with some exemptions, and one of the exemptions is changed

Which involves Xi’s government breaching an agreement, with the U.K. and Hong Kong people, from 1997.

Countries are sovereign. But reputations matter. Any country dealing with Xi would be mad to take his word.

The repercussions of these actions in neighbouring countries, such as Taiwan and the Philippines, will be interesting to see unfold.
This response makes no sense. We don’t cancel unemployment, social security, etc in these instances. UBI is meant to replace these programs and by giving everyone a guaranteed income even in bad times, it allows some certainty at the household level which reduces stress and keeps consumption higher to keep the economy from melting down into a depression.

Very unlikely, if the landing gear has problems to the extent that you scrape the runway with the engines, then taking off is almost impossible and useless, you just stop to a halt. If your landing gear does not extend and lock properly, you abort the landing way before touching it.
Don't listen to any of NSA's, or really the entire executive branch's, narratives about the legality of anything. It's possible to twist logic to justify anything when you've set out to do so - the legal equivalent of "I'm not hitting my brother, I'm just flailing my arms and walking forward". The only effective answer about legality is when these things actually end up in a real court, apart from the secret kangaroo "courts" they've invented. And as we've seen, these treacherous agencies will do everything they can to keep their activities out of open court.
> What good is it for the company to pay out more money ever?

Prices are set by supply and demand. If I need someone in San Francisco to do a certain kind of work, there's a limited pool of people and they aren't going to show up unless I pay a certain amount.

> Why pay people to live in expensive neighborhoods at all?

I don't care where people live, they care. They could save money by moving out to nowhere but then have a terrible commute. Again, that's assuming I need them onsite.

If it turns out that I don't need people onsite at all, I can hire from anywhere and the pool of people gets much larger. Since many of these people don't have huge expenses because they don't live in expensive cities, they'd do the same job for less. I save money, they earn money, it's win-win.

It really only comes down to how much value you put on people being onsite.

Ask HN: Is a bad UI acceptable in beta launch?
Hey guys, i've been working on a Q/A platform for the past 16 months and I think the platform is ready for the beta launch. That being said, I realize that the UI doesn't look very attractive atm but we'll definitely make it better in coming months. Should we wait until we have a professional and attractive UI or should we launch the beta phase where we've focused more on the functionality aspect of the platform?

What I didn't find out while trialing Hasura is if it's possible to declare your GraphQL API using code rather than the Hasura web GUI. I eventually gave up on it because I figured I couldn't store the configuration I was making as code in a git repo.

Your comment makes me think I was maybe wrong about that? Could you confirm and/or link to some docs about this aspect?
I agree that there is a potential problem with taxes

I disagree with the advice that legal consul is urgent. Assuming the OP stops working for free, tax issues, if they exist, have already occurred. Hiring a lawyer does not change that. Determining if there is a problem requires forensic investigation. If there is a forensic investigation, someone else will be paying for it because it is their money. Without a forensic investigation, there's no tax problem (like a tree falling with no one hearing).

More importantly, the first order problem is finding a new job. Mucking about with legal consul is a distraction from solving that. And again there is no urgency. The normal circumstances are an employee finds this out long after the fact and systems are tuned to normal circumstances and dealing with the system normally is more straight forward.

In software terms, it's YAGNI in the best case and JIT in the expected worse case. The worst worst case is only marginally worse than the worst expected case.
> We're not going to be migrating terabytes of data

You may have dramatically less 'real data' than mongo makes you think you do. I migrated one of our mid sized database out of mongo and into PG a couple years ago. The reduction in size was massive. One table in particular that was storing a small number of numeric fields per doc went from ~10GB to ~50MB. I wouldn't expect this with all datasets of course, but mongo's document + key storage overhead can be massive in some use cases.

You're on Rails, just scaffold everything.

Any solution that provides a UI for you over database tables is going to feel clunky after a while. If your purpose is to just get something up, use Rails scaffold and throw some bootstrap at it.

When you reach the point where you need more sophistication in your UI, then you can more easily pivot from a set of templates created from scaffold vs. getting locked into something like Active Admin.
They were always going to, regardless. The question is timing now vs 2047.
`nix-env -iA nixos.emacs`

But I do agree with you, it's not as straight-forward as it should be yet. But I absolutely love how I can be certain that no garbage is accumulating on my computer like I needed this program one time and I don't even know what does it do, yet I have it's complete dependency graph installed that the package manager can barely uninstall.
In nix I just create a `nix-shell -p package` for one time use, do my work and then forget about it. At the next `nix-collect-garbage` it will be removed from my computer completely.

This is what I had assumed. With businesses closing some jobs are literally lost.

Talking with friends and family I have realised most of us have changed how we plan to do things in the future. E.g. going out less will have a big impact on restaurants, cafes, cinemas, etc.

If a lot of people feel the same as I/we do it will make recovery for such businesses harder.

I see a lot of people talking about things "returning to normal" once the lockdown is lifted but I just can't see that happening. In my opinion this virus has fundamentally changed how many, many people will go about their lives for much longer than the lockdown.

Perhaps I am wrong but it seems (most?) American politicians expect all of these jobs will magically return in a few weeks once states open up to how they were before?
I'm not sure what you're talking about, since in countries which have these attributes, nobody is producing anything that would require trucks to transport, so your hypothetical of someone having a lot of produce that they can't get to people who need it doesn't apply.

If you are simply saying that there are countries which are poor because there is nobody with capital, first, that's still not a problem of "high transaction costs", it's a problem of lack of capital. And second, the problem isn't even lack of capital, since there are plenty of people in rich countries who would be glad to invest capital in poor countries--if the corrupt governments of those poor countries weren't going to steal everything of value that got invested. So we're still looking at a problem of government corruption, not "high transaction costs".

David Graeber wrote about bullshit jobs - including those you describe.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Jobs

We have all been in offices where there are bullshit jobs. If these jobs go then it will be a while before they come back. These jobs are a bit like the junk that collects on your computer, filling up space and doing nothing. All of it was important once. But then you move to a new computer, install your software and project files to get on with work never needing the detritus again.
Miro.com is great.
It is so much more than a whiteboard. We use it for brainstorm sessions, retros and all sort of things.
The actions of India in Kashmir have certainly been strongly condemned as well. What happens there is terrible.

Perhaps the Kashmir situation got less media attention than Hong Kong, but I think that's more of a result of more developed regions getting more global news attention in general. It's the same reason that the Uyghur situation doesn't get as much media attention as Hong Kong either.

Comparing HK to California seems intellectual dishonest. The history is not comparable at all. The very existence of the notion 'One Country Two Systems' should tell you that the Hong Kong situation is quite special.

As for 'desecrating the Chinese flag'. You can also see that as a hint that people are really angry. I don't understand at all how oppression is a sensible answer to that.
> Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but by virtual base classes you mean base classes with strictly pure abstract methods, that can be used with virtual inheritance?

No. Virtual base classes come up in multiple inheritance.

Consider you have a class Circle. It derives from both Shape and Savable. But Shape and Savable both derive from a parent base class Base. Let's say that Base has some member function, print. Also assume that neither Circle, Shape or Savable have an implementation of print. So when you have a Circle object, and you call print, does it go to Shape::print or Savable::print? If Base is a normal (non-virtual) base class, it's ambiguous. The compiler can't resolve it, as the Circle object literally has two Base instances inside of it: one from Shape and one from Drawable. The inheritance hierarchy has two roots, both of which are an instance of Base.

But if Base is a virtual base class, then Circle will only have one instance of Base. The inheritance hierarchy has only one root, which is Base.

This is generally called "the diamond problem": https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2659116/how-does-virtual...

The cliche that total scientific socialism sounds great in theory but doesn't work in practice actually applies far better to laissez-faire capitalism (scientific socialism doesn't even look good on paper). Your arguments against free education and universal healthcare sound clever apriori, but they are completely at odds with the evidence. Countries with universal healthcare and robust public school systems invariably have better outcomes on both fronts.

As far as I can tell at the International Conference on Functional Programming the Schemers are treated as full member of the functional programming community, despite lacking static types.

Static types are neat, and FP people tend to really like them, but I wouldn't call them a strict requirement even culturally.

You can make a statically typed Lisp, of course. Just like you can make a dynamically typed ML-like language. Haskell even sort-of supports that. See https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/defer-errors-to-r...

How can you accidentally comment on the wrong article?
Ehh, not exactly.

My personal situation is an example: if UBI were implemented I would quit working immediately to pursue a graduate degree. Granted, that graduate degree would lead me back into the workforce eventually, but at least in the short run, it would take significant incentives to keep me in the workforce if pursuing education instead were an option.

I also know someone who works for $20/hour, and pays $12/hour for childcare. $8/hour isn't worth anyone's time in 2020, but they do it because government assistance doesn't pay their bills. If they were receiving a livable UBI, I have no doubt that they would choose to raise their children full time rather than work for an absurdly low wage.

>But this implies that people in big cities can expect to see their pay go down to match the greater competitiveness of remote workers, not the other way around.

It really depends how fully remote a company goes. To the degree there's still some company advantage to anchor locations that some employees come into on a semi-regular basis, a company might still want to pay some premium for employees to live in that area. However, to the degree that a company were fully remote (and ignoring that some functions will still be physically close to customers), then high CoL vs. low CoL becomes purely an employee decision, it's hard to see the company paying those premiums. So, leaving aside real world messiness, the expectation would be that salaries head towards one (country-wide) value for a given set of skills.
In my opinion this is a benefit, subconversations during a meeting are distracting. If it doesn't need to be discussed by the entire group, that conversation should happen after the meeting.

Zoom meetings where everyone is on a separate camera/mic make that basically impossible, which keeps the meeting more focused.
