I increasingly lean towards plain SQL over ORMs. It requires greater familiarity with SQL but I prefer that over greater familiarity with ORM-specific syntax that doesn’t translate across frameworks or languages. In addition, you can prototype new queries and profile existing queries in the database and copy-paste directly into your code.

If my wife continued doing the DoorDash at the amount she's doing it (just under full-time), she'd be doing OK, but by no means "well". Still yet, she'd be making far more than minimum wage if the per-delivery pay doesn't change much. When you say "a lot of people", on paper, that person is "my wife". She's got various skills, but no degree, and she's been out of the professional workforce for so long that the best salary she can expect to make is as a server at one of the local chains[0]. If she found herself in that position, again, there is no question that she'd DoorDash until she could finish up her nursing program.

> Hopefully they are all following the 2011 requirement to check only SANs when SANs are present (which they should always be in public certificates).

Alas last time I paid attention Python's code was pretty bad. They got themselves into a mess by trying to think about the DNS name as text, and thus Unicode, and so they persuaded themselves they care about Ulabels, which are intended as a presentation system (ie they're about what we show in a user interface so that a random Cambodian peasant and a Russian oligarch both get squiggles that they recognise even though DNS was invented by Americans) rather than only the Alabels (a restricted subset of ASCII used by the DNS backend). So whereas the correct way to check if this site's certificate is for the right name is to compare the bytes that make up the DNS name to the bytes in the SAN dnsName of the certificate, which is trivial, they ended up needing to do a bunch of Unicode conversion work, pulling in libraries of other code, which was obsolete and... it becomes a huge mess.

The end result is Python worked fine for some.name.example but might break for say кц.рф (the Registry for public Russian TLD рф) because, even though it doesn't matter at all, they're trying to turn it into a Unicode string.

Maybe somebody who focuses on this can say if this was fixed? I stopped caring in 2018 after I had explained all this twice to relevant people. Banging your head against a wall is bad for you and the wall doesn't care.

Thanks for the hardwork zzzeek! I've been using sqlalchemy for 5+yrs now and it's great to work with!

I like SQL and I like the ORM. When things go tough like doing complicated JOINs or OLAP. I just go raw sql. If it's OLTP, updates and simple lookups, ORM makes the code readable.

The alembic migration is also great! I can craft the models to design with postgres features (index, multi key index, pk uuid) and etc..

I'd would love sqlalchemy to invest more on scaling. Although scaling is an entire book of discussion. Not much resources are there for handling multiple db, sharding (maybe too much to ask).

My opinion is, love SQL and Love the ORM. You'll need both to appreciate it's power. It's like learning VIM, a long term investment tool and hard to :wq

I too am struggling to understand this use of undo.

If I'm reading this correctly it means applying a large number of undos to get to a previous editor state, followed by an equally large number of redos to then get back to where you started.

I can't recall every doing something like this.

The only time I seem to use undo is when I genuinely make some sort of editing mistake.

One reason I know I don't subconsciously do this is because I never struggle to execute an undo action.

However, on the rare occasions I need to do a redo I tend to struggle with the short cut key and usually go to the menu instead.

That tells me I use undo much more than redo.
Just curious, how did you satisfy the needs of business analysts?

One issue I found with our company's micro service architecture is that each service only cares about what it needs to know. However BA needs to know a lot of data to do proper analysis. The end result is that those services have to connect to each other and I'm wondering if we should go for monolith from the beginning. Because bast amount id time is spent on grabbing data from different services and sometimes it's impossible so BA has to use very complex joins to combine the data from different services.
There’s three ways:

1) Ads.

2) Affiliate links. Affiliate links work well if your blog is an authority on products, especially for expensive products like musical instruments.

3) Promoting your own product, like an ebook, course, etc.

Which monetization method you use depends on how it fits into your blog’s content and audience.

Personally, I would do all three to maximize revenue.
I applaud you for asking good questions.

> Why do you care so much about predictable supply if the price is anything but predictable?

Because the price will go higher. When the price goes over $x MM per BTC it will be very predictable.

It stores more value than any other commodity. When the stock market started in 1920s it was no less volatile than Bitcoin. Volatility is a sign of disruption as much as it is a sign of value.

> If the future rate of increase continues as it is at the present, it has been predicted that, because the CO2 envelope reduces radiation, the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere will increase and that vast changes in the climates of the earth will result. Such changes in temperature will cause melting of the polar icecaps, which, in turn, would result in the inundation of many coastal cities, including New York and London.

This describes Bitcoin too.

I think it's facially absurd to claim that the existing financial system (including military, police, etc) costs anywhere near what bitcoin does, but even if it does, it's irrelevant because bitcoin doesn't provide the same things. Bitcoin is a virtual bar of gold or piece of currency, not a financial system.

"Of the existing 18.5 million Bitcoin, around 20 percent — currently worth around $140 billion — appear to be in lost or otherwise stranded wallets, according to the cryptocurrency data firm Chainalysis"

"“Even sophisticated investors have been completely incapable of doing any kind of management of private keys,” said Diogo Monica, the co-founder of a start-up called Anchorage, which helps companies handle cryptocurrency security. Mr. Monica started the company in 2017 after helping a hedge fund regain access to one of its Bitcoin wallets."

"“This whole idea of being your own bank — let me put it this way, ‘Do you make your own shoes?’” he said. “The reason we have banks is that we don’t want to deal with all those things that banks do.”

> don’t rely heavily on a superset of JS or CSS and instead focus heavily on web standards that work across browsers and platforms

Worth keeping in mind that this is not really the dichotomy. The supersets of JS and CSS do work across browsers and platforms, because they are compiled down to JS and CSS.

If you're just wondering what to do to learn responsive design, first step would just be to read docs for the @media query [1]. Also, learn flexbox. Maybe you will want to learn some of the other new CSS constructs (grid, columns) if you don't care too much about backwards compatibility.

If you've done all that and still want to learn more, next step would probably be to deconstruct an existing library like Bootstrap or something that targets the platforms you want to.

> Forcing them to provide higher wages will result in higher prices, which will reduce their market viability and result in closure of some locations.

And it's done just that every single time it's happened. But it also has a more permanent effect: labour is usually the biggest cost to a business, and it's often necessary -- or at least, any investment in technologies to eliminate labor come with so much risk that they are often slow to materialize without a solid catalyst. Raise the cost of labor, substantially, and you get self-checkout. Raise it more and the self-checkout aisles start working more easily[0], or are eliminated entirely in favor of electronic tracking and facial recognition.

It's all got a breaking point -- it's ~$9.00-~$12.00/hr (locally based on the marquis in front of the local McDonald's) times every required front-end employee vs. a multi-million dollar investment that might eliminate the 90% that labour cost, but might also be completely rejected by customers or otherwise fail horribly. Time is always going to bring that "multi-million" side down, but another way to accelerate it is to raise the cost of labour (either artificially by increasing the minimum wage or naturally as a result of full employment/good economic conditions).

[0] Because they kill the "scale" that checks that you've set the item you bought on the "purchased" side in favor of putting an extra person behind some screens and opening up 8 more check-out aisles. Additional shrink from the less strict systems is offset by lower labour costs. Of course, lost sales from people like my great aunt/uncle who are pissed off that they need a manual to operate a Walmart end up creating new opportunities for companies to offer an option to pay someone else to handle that hassle for you. So now you just pay the damn cashier, directly, through DoorDash or whomever.

Jetbrains IDEs have a local history feature that provides snapshots with diffs and allows partial rollbacks.

I only use it when experimenting with different approaches.

Mostly I only use the "Local Changes" tab in the Git panel that shows the diff compared to the last commit, or "Compare with branch" to see the overall changes relative to the base branch.
Also the average of one minute of arc on a great circle route, which was the real handy thing about it at sea.
Yep, it's quite a handy feature at times. I don't use it a ton, but it is very helpful when I want it. One very nice aspect is that you can scope it to a specific section within a file (the same can be done with git history as well).
Mainframe Zork aka Dungeon aka DUNGEO on the pdp-11 pretty much changed my life.

It's been 36 years and I still write code, design/architect business systems, and enjoy the work.
One of the things we’ve learned about eugenics is that even if you agree with it in principle (and to be clear, I do not), it’s painfully clear that in practice it slides down to Nazism and genocide very rapidly. This is why these ideas have been purged from polite society, and people who openly espouse them are shunned and shamed. We’ve seen where these things lead, and most people are rightly horrified by it.

The road between “these people are ‘feeble minded’ and we should sterilize them for the good of the species” and “these aren’t even people we should kill them” is very short and paved in literal millions of dead bodies. The processes that allow one to forcibly sterilize a fellow human being against their will requires some degree of dehumanization, which is why it goes to even worse places than where it started.

Ok, so?

First off, you linked to a list of english measures which are not used in the US. Nobody uses fathoms or barleycorns.

Here is the list of actual US customary units: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_customary_unit...

Second, none of that is relevant to landing on Mars.

The only problem space where metric has an advantage is in converting between meters, kilometers and millimeters.

That’s great, and it’s easy to learn. But it doesn’t suddenly make all problems of distance easier to solve.

If I am traveling toward Mars at 47 meters per second it doesn’t help me to know that is also .047km per second. And converting to kilometers per hour involves using base 60 twice anyway because metric time is unwieldy.

In reality none of your measurements are going to be nice round numbers. Mentally converting from meters to km might be nice sometimes but it’s essentially a party trick.

It won’t help the lander make decisions. The hardware doesn’t inherently work in base 10.

Does NASA mix meters and kilometers? Isn’t that the same problem that destroyed the Mars Climate Orbiter?

The fact is the units are irrelevant beyond just being defined and used consistently.

Also, I can’t think of a situation where I need to convert miles to feet. My bike ride is six miles, I’m never going to express that in feet. If I need to describe the size of a thing in a room I will probably use feet, maybe inches if it is small. Probably not feet and inches. I wouldn’t use miles at all. Easy conversion between those units just isn’t a problem that comes up. It’s more important to me to have reasonably sized units and that the person I am communicating with understands them.
