"A friend to all is a friend to none."
-Aristotle
I'll defer to anyone with expertise.

I'm modelling a program in Python on a work computer without administrative privileges, which means it has to stay in user space. Because I haven't decided on a final implementation language, I don't want to commit to any one language's memory model. Vanilla SQL is my solution there.

My specification limits procedures to SQL as much as possible, using the implementation language only for user interaction with and computations on the database not possible in standard SQL. It minimizes use of the heap, which requires opening connections to the database frequently, but this is practical given the low performance requirements of the application.

SQLite3 satisfies my spec except for the extra diligence required first to implement the foreign keys PRAGMA in order to maintain referential integrity, and second to remove it if an RDBMS closer to the SQL standard were eventually chosen.

In a nutshell, my constraints are user space, limiting operations to standard SQL as much as possible, referential integrity, and minimal implementation language dependencies besides having an available SQL API. Given those constraints, would you recommend a different RDBMS? Or would you agree SQLite3 is my least worst option?
> Eisenhower didn't pay 100 labs $5M each to come with possible ballistic missile designs.

On the other hand this is the venture capital model. I wonder if we'd have worse, equal or better results if Eisenhower somehow applied the venture capital and entrepreneurial model of today to missile R&D back then. It's an interesting thought experiment.
This seems wrong.
I work on compilers, most CPU design advancements from the last several decades are aligned towards making bad code run fast.

This is usually a problem for people who write 'fast code', they have to hire a bunch of compiler devs to stop the compiler and CPU invalidating each other's optimizations, and to implement one-off domain specific optimizations.

This is how a vast majority of compiler people are employed nowadays.

Ideas on how to promote my business
I am running a business whose target customers are parents with young children ages 3 to 8. I came up with a few ideas on how to promote the business on Facebook. Can you please give me some feedback on what you think about them?

1) Since my startup is education related, I plan to post a series of materials on the topic of giving that are meant for consumption by the parents and kids together. After that, there will be a video competition. The parents can post a video of their children nominating a charity they want to support, and why they want to support that charity. We will pick a few winners and donate $100 to each winner's charity pick.

2) We'll pick a charity ourselves that is related to children. For each page "like" we get in a particular week, we'll donate $1 to that charity with a certain maximum.

3) Also a video competition (topic to be decided). We'll pick a number of winners who will get our service for free for x number of months.

I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Most likely Montenegro, since it is easy to move to serbia from there (plus there are serbians that live there), and the country is going through some election transition period, so things might slip through easily.
Certainly tends to be popular with kids in the UK as a quick and easy dish: Put them under the grill (broiler), heat some backed beans, butter some bread, fruit for desert, and there's a reasonably nutritious fast food lunch once a week that can be prepared in a hurry.

On numbers:

A quick search [1] suggests 1.5 million fish fingers are eaten per day in the UK (18 per second).

A US search was less easy, but at 25,000 tons per year, and 26 grams per stick, that'd be the equivalent 2.6 million fish sticks consumed (purchased, I suppose) per day in the USA, which on a per-capita basis is interestingly much less.

Since people don’t seem to think this is obvious - the board has access to the company’s plans, therefore so does the CCP if there is a CCP board member.

Board members have access to the CEO and other managers, therefore the CCP board member can obviously make statements to management about what the CCP does and does not approve of.

No citation is needed to know that these are the consequences of having a CCP board member.

This is straight BS from my experience. My local Dems are spending time on the Temporary Protected Status groups, especially Liberians who've been here since the 1990s, Haitians who don't have a home to go back to, Nepalese. They've spent a lot of time on immigration from Asia and since we have a large Indian- and Pakistani-American community where I'm from that's been an issue my representatives have worked on. I feel like you have a pretty narrow view -- maybe you're from a place where that's true, but it's not true out here in the rest of America.

It might be fine for a personal site etc, but be mindful that lots of people still don't understand that websites other than .com exist (i.e. don't get a .io domain if you want to sell to the general public).
but does this really matter in a world where people basically Google every business anyways to get to the homepage?

Most likely Montenegro -> Serbia. Much easier, then going through two other countries, and Montenegro has issues (both election, and previous corruption problems).

Last time I passed through Montenegro I got stoped by two cops and they straight out asked me money (they wanted 20 euros for each), so they didn't suspend my license. (and yes, they were slavic/montenegrins and not Albanians)

Smart contracts are the worst idea in history of bad ideas, maybe even ever.

As a software engineer you know bugs exist. Software as immutable monetary contract law which cannot be appealed to anyone is a doubly bad idea as any bug is a vector for literally everyone losing literally everything, forever. Plenty of examples exist. Remember the DAO? Nothing's changed since then except people decided to "be more careful next time."

I think what we're getting from this is that the modal American doesn't eat fish sticks in a typical year, since the mean American eats half a serving.

It's likely that modal group is so large that the median American doesn't eat any in a typical year, either.

For the record: I have eaten 0 fish sticks in 2020, so far, and expect that the record will stand.
Set theory does not answer the question, "what is two itself?" This is a common misconception. It just provides a way to translate statements about the natural numbers into statements about sets, which then you can use for proofs and formal constructions. It's an encoding, not a definition. In particular, the definition you give of two is not correct and I'd be interested to learn who told you it.

Further, the "modern" way to discuss this is not categorification, despite what Baez says; people who work and publish on the foundations of mathematics almost universally do so in the language of set theory.

It is amazing the impact of finding something in your life you can control and build on that.

Start off by putting 24*7 hours on an Excel sheet, fill them in with your sleep and obligations and necessary rest, then work out whether you have 60 minutes a week for you. If you do, start from there.

In those 60 minutes of your time, figure out how you can increase it to 120 minutes a week. Maybe you say NO to that unpaid overtime, or let some of those chores slip, or ask your wife to do 1 particular chore.

Then slowly build out from there. Once you are at 8 hours a week you can possibly consider a bigger thing, for example learning new tech or passing interviews that could land you a job that you love, that you do less hours. Or seeing if you can be a digital nomad and plan that out for after covid.

And then let it snowball.

Eventually you will not feel like "I have no agency over my own life".

What you do with your marriage - then that's up to you but you'll be in a better place to answer it.
There is a long tradition of wealthy people not actually raising their own kids. They have kids to carry on their legacy, not for the joy of having them.

They have round the clock nannies and tutors so they never have to deal with the kids. Sometimes they might see the kids at dinner or on weekends, but really it's the nannies that raise the child.

I'm not saying Marc is that kind of person, but he might be. Or maybe his spouse does most of the child rearing.

In Marc's defense, the schedule presented here is pretty family compatible. He has lots of free time in the evenings.
It is great that Egypt is fairly stable and takes this stuff seriously, but how much of it is "just business" for Egypt, with the new $500 million (USD) museum being built: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Egyptian_Museum Letting that stuff get stolen is a national tragedy and has a real cost in terms of tourist dollars.

Egypt is a top-of-the-bucket-list destination for me, and I'd spend plenty of money there at that museum and many of the tourist sites (after COVID obviously), if I actually felt safe going there. It still seems a little bit iffy from my american point of view. I haven't researched it in a few years but last time I did it seemed not advisable for Americans to go there.
Could you expand on what you mean by that? I felt the total opposite when I was working in academia, it was incredibly inspiring.

Yeah, you’re absolutely right that there is always some situation where some amount of shared mutable state is necessary, but there’s still a lot of fat to trim in most cases.
If you have a bunch of computers each on a fixed timer, and their clocks are synchronized (say, with NTP), then on the least common multiple of all of those timers you'll get a stampede of requests from all of the computers.

If you're on a sufficiently large network, that surge can cause failures. And a fixed retry policy will just cause the same stampede to recur on the retry intervals; you want to add jitter to ensure that you spread the load out.

For me, I find search is ok for finding places to find places, if that makes sense. Like I've had a lot of trouble finding detailed information on a few technical niches, but search led me to forums that led me to private slack/discord channels on what I was looking for and active community members that had already filtered the good/bad content in their working memory.
Tracking your schedule is a good way to curb procrastination. Track everything except work. Then see what time you have left and don’t fill in those times with work tasks you can’t get done. Scheduling free time and vacations is also a good way to reward yourself for doing work. So schedule work around your life and not your life against work.

When I worked at my last corporate job, they would bring lunch boxes every day at 11am. If you had a meeting any time between 11am and 2pm it was generally accepted that you might be eating during that meeting.

I never really had a lunch break when I worked there, I just ate through my noon meeting.

There are around 24,000 high schools in the US. I'll take that number as a proxy for the number of football fields, because, while some high schools don't have one, there are also quite a few which are affiliated with college/universities or municipalities.

So that's about six cubic yards per football field, or about enough to fill a couple of standard freezer sections at a supermarket.

We can conclude from this that football players don't eat fish sticks very often, or there wouldn't be any left for anyone else!

> They aren't bad. As is typical with frozen, deep fried food, they really don't taste like anything. So I wouldn't really go out of your way to try one. The IQF fish fillets you can get in the grocery store are better in every respect.

If you have a food-processor and a herb-pantry, you can make your own fried fish with far superior tasting breading.

1. Bread selection: choose a bread that doesn't burn: fried oil is very high temperature. White-bread is fine, "Hawaiian rolls" are terrible. Various home-made breads are great.

2. Toast the bread, a few slices is all you need for a few slabs of fish.

3. Use a food-processor to break the bread into breadcrumbs.

4. Herbs: any combination that tastes good. I use Basil, Oregano, Rosemary, Salt and Pepper, take nibbles of the concoction until it tastes good.

5. Flour the fish with your right hand, drop it into egg+milk mix with your left hand, then drop the fish into breadcrumbs with your right hand. (Right hand dry, left hand wet)

6. 30-minutes in the refrigerator

7. Fry the fish, you're done!

----------------

Its not as easy as fish-sticks though. Pull em out, put them on a baking sheet and cook. But the breading-process for good-tasting fried fish is easier than I expected.

Only an extraordinarily ambitious personal project would experience a significant amount of build latency on modern compilers and CPUs, no matter what approach is used. I don't think you can reason from "it works for personal projects" to "it's fast."

One thing I can tell you immediately about this unity build idea that is suboptimal for many codebases: modern compilers do not have much intra translation unit parallelism. If there's more in your project than one CPU core can compile quickly (i.e. most shipping products), it's going to be a serious bottleneck.
