I am a big fan of SQLAlchemy, though I often use it more as an advanced pythonic query builder than as an ORM It can sometimes be a bit more work to write something in SQLAlchemy than raw SQL, especially when doing complicated queries, but I really like composing the queries with python functions, defining CTE's, window functions, computed columns in separate functions.

And very important: any query I can write for postgres I can write with SQLAlchemy. But as I work a lot on an application with some complicated JSONB columns, I must say the syntax for set returning functions is kind of awkward. But the session and transaction management, query composability, ORM options, and overall Pythonic way you can use SQLAlchemy really beats putting (semi) raw SQL in your code. And as a bonus you can do linting, type checking and refactoring of you queries.

Thanks for all the hard work Michael!
meh. the apple hardware and fit/finish is unquestionably better, but neither platform offers anything that I personally want to "invest" in past the purchase price of a serviceable phone. google doesn't respect my privacy, but apple doesn't respect my judgement.
This is stunning - both the image itself and the 12 years of dedication making it. Well done.

Bash scripting: How to write data to text files
I dunno.. but the very first betas of dot net were actually available for FreeBSD. I remember downloading the spice for it way back. I’m surprised if it’s not available.
This was almost 7 years ago so I honestly don’t remember the context of the decision only the tooling I wrote.
Do you understand the difference between brokering trades for clients, and what you allow employees to trade using the banks capital?

There are all sorts of arbitrage and correlation trades to be made in bonds, stocks and similar securities (mortgages) because they all have intrinsic values or maturity dates, etc. To protect the banks capital it’s important to restrict the types of trades allowed, and to disallow pure speculation.

Jamie in that article describes cryptocurrencies as pure speculation because they have no intrinsic value, which is why he said he’d never allow employees to trade them.

But one thing I believe about Jamie Dimon is that he has a sharp and flexible mind. If the newer innovations in the DeFi markets around crypto convince him he’s wrong about cryptocurrencies, he will turn on a dime. While still putting in adequate safeguards for his banks capital.
"I've seen some of the BSD folk present that as a good thing. To each his own, I guess."

Yes, this is the whole point of making something Open Source.

With FreeBSD companies like Netflix contribute to it, and I'd imagine it's similar for OpenBSD as well.

As an Apple fan, I really wish that were true.
Correct. Hate speech means speech you do not like because it disagrees with your biases and viewpoints. For some the use of speech to coordinate a summer of violent riots is hate speech, for others it is a rally cry of the oppressed.

Using the violence of the state to restrict freedom of speech and thought is never done by people on the right side of history.
I am solemnly transitioning from neovim to JetBrains for this reason.

It's because of the 2 party system we are stuck with.

Democratic Socialists, Social Liberals, NeoLibs, and NeoCons(because of the Republican party's shift to the right) are all stuck under one party, so the biggest group controls the entire thing.
This is where the Android security model really falls apart: The assumption that the ROM publisher/device manufacturer is trustworthy (or even just not pathologically hostile) is often false and the immutable OS means even technical users struggle to remove malware.

IMO: this sort of stuff means the pinephone actually has a better UX than the cheaper android phones despite calls and SMS often not working because the basic "computer with cellular data" works exactly the way you would expect.
No. Some people like relationship building and diplomacy. Building the business. Having meetings fleshing out direction and staffing needs. And many others will put up with it for the increase in compensation and tell themselves it's not that bad.
For the record, I do not support mandating sideloading.

I support the right to install an alternate OS on hardware you own.

Just to clarify your point, since you have written it in an ambiguous way:

Are you asking me whether I realize that the things I support would also require government regulation?
We reached our first 2K B2B customers
Are you talking about "Rotor" back in 2005 or 2006 right before Silverlight came out?
Hey dudes, I can believe that in just 8 months we could acquire our 2000 B2B customers. It was really challenging and we did it and now we are going ahead to our next level.

Here I would love to share some tactics, that we used to get B2B customers.

We run a Life Time Deal Campaign

We post on Quora and answer all relevant questions to our niche

Cold emailing 1-1, after dedicated research, not just a mass mailing

LinkedIn outbound campaign ( I use LinkHelp )

Facebook promotions ( groups, 1-1 chats )

G2/Capterra/TrustPilot good profiles ( we run a Capterra campaign )

Reddit engagement

Here are some tips that helped us to scale our business.
P.S
The tool is Beupify which is an all-in-one solution for the release notes :)
I've heard precisely the opposite, though that was an anecdote from Milton Friedman, so take that how you will.

Since the beginning of 401ks, the yearly amount being locked away exceeded the amount being cashed out. Thanks to baby boomers retiring, a couple of years ago that reversed, and will stay reversed for the rest of our lives.

The first condition creates a natural headwind to increase stock values. The current condition will reverse that.

Because as a user — they’re called user stories — I want all the money recurringly leaking out if my pocket accessible and manageable in one place with consistent user-favorable rules.

That’s why my persona exercised free consumer choice to opt into this philosophy instead of the competing camp. Years after last Android died I still had subs I couldn’t cancel unless I did chargebacks.

Stop trying to use regulation to take away my free market choice of ecosystem approach. I want the app appliance I can trust with one experience I can trust.
I blame Scott Hanselman for not achieving "dotNet Everywhere." :-)
Presumably this would result in a flood of "free" apps that are nothing more than facades for scams (e.g. a fun personality/quiz app -- look ma, no ads! -- that makes you reveal your secret questions and answers).

Maintaining the integrity of an app store is a very non-trivial task, and building an entry barrier in the form of developer fees is one way of doing it. Not saying this is the only solution or even a particularly good one, but every solution will have its share of unintended consequences and exploited armor chinks. Making dev accounts free for no-ads would be an interesting experiment, though. I'd support it for science!
Thank you!

Low-code communities/products makes up a good portion of our existing userbase indeed (Wordpress, Webflow, the like). Webflow, Zendesk, Shopify, Salesforce plugins are planned. We currently have an awesome WP plugin.

The word master has so many meaning that it's quite difficult how a minority in SV has decided to reduce it to master/slave.

The biggest genocide in human history was committed against the Jewish community. When is Microsoft going to change their vocabulary in order to raise more awareness of crimes against humanity and the genocide of Jews?

Why is Microsoft still using words such as "concentrate" and "camp"? Microsoft employees tweeting things such as "which camp are you, GIF or JIF". Isn't that plain offensive to Jewish people? Why is Microsoft still using words such as "work", calling employees "workers" when we all know too well that that the Nazis used "Work makes free" (Arbeit macht frei) as their slogan for Auschwitz?

Lots of Majors commanded the killing of Jewish people, yet Microsoft uses the word "command" in all their software such as "SqlCommand" and many more. They call something a "major" feature or use phrases like "you can fire up a server" when we know that firing up things is the act of bombing and killing innocent people.

It almost seems like that Microsoft is a Nazi organisation or why else would they use such obvious outrageous offensive and bigoted language in their every day communications?

I'm not sure how Microsoft can be inclusive to all people including engineers from the Jewish community when they use such language.
How to Speed Up WordPress
I find myself agreeing with this comment a lot, but I wonder if "mysterious" is the right word to describe it. "Circumstantial" maybe?
I too have lived through many crashes (87-08). In those days it seemed like we took our medicine no matter how bad it tasted and lived with the outcome. Today it seems different, there is no limit to what the Gov and the FED will do to keep the wheels on the wagon. Although it seems like a clown world economy, it is nothing compared to what is happening in Canada/Toronto. I just got off the phone with family in Toronto and they were telling me their house is going up $3000 - $4000 a week in value (on the low end). They bought it in 2005 for $440k and now can expect at least 2.2 -2.5 million without any improvements. What I find interesting is the experts talk like this is all normal and the market is fine. What do I know.....

I did the exact same thing, I liked the idea of being able to code still.

And then three months in I took stock and I didn’t like what I saw. I wasn’t able to devote the time I needed to help people with career development and truly enable them to shine. I was also slowing my team down because the time I could spend in code and crucially code review was much lower. PRs languished and folks had to go in and fix things after me.

So I dropped the code bits, aside from really small code fixes here and there across our code base and focussed on doing the management thing. I was happier and so was my team.

I hope it works out for you though!
Got a massive jump start to my career by spending high school recompiling X11 and such endlessly.

Glad to hear! I agree, and almost always reach out to several other traveling friends for their recommendations whenever we go places. I envision a lot of value being delivered from sort of formalizing the FB Recommendations engine into its own social network and interface.

More _economic_ value, sure. But at what cost to the environment, biodiversity, our dwindling resources, societal health, our psyches?

Not the same. You care for your dog even when they are old and sick. Cows in India are only cared until they give milk. Once that is over, they are left out in the streets to rot.
This is why I dollar cost average. Timing purchases is impossible for me since I’m not a finance genius, so I just buy stock each time I get paid.
Where does this line of reasoning end? Should we rename "master's degrees" even though there is no "slave" in this context (just like there is no slave branch in git)? I think it's important for students to take a deep breath and remember to reflect upon racism.

For context, I'm Finnish and many of my ancestors were sold as slaves as well.
What's next? Are we going to rename master's as an academic degree? Are we going to start using words other than master or grandmaster to refer to experienced martial artists? What about chess?

I think you're right. I'm an independent and I'm guilty of doing this to right and left leaning folk, but I've done it because I believe that the people screaming will only listen to people within their ideological interests. It was my way of making them accountable for their compatriots that are loud enough for me to notice. I've also stopped doing this because it's not really effective. People don't feel like they should be responsible for outliers and I somewhat agree, but don't know how to solve the problem of vocal trouble makers.

The point is that a horse can only do a dramatically narrow functions. It's basically a big walking engine. Conversely Jeff Bezos can tend a garden, build a house, create art, write documents, package goods, negotiate contracts, recruit employees, organise a company, care for children, drive a car, take out the trash, cook diner, etc, etc.

Comparing people and horses in terms of jobs they can do, and their ability to adapt to new tasks is so unbelievably dumb it's staggering it even needs to be pointed out. This is why these arguments for automation imminently putting vast swathes of people permanently out of work has never come true, in the hundreds of years it's been predicted.
One of the worst pieces of advice leads to over packaging into apps. Once you start making foreign keys across apps (especially ignoring content types as the connective tissue) you’re headed to a path of needless complexity.

Lots of people have learned Python and Django together much like rails and Ruby but they don’t immediately grok that models, views, etc can be packages with multiple modules and apps aren’t the only (nor the correct) abstraction for code organization.
My shortlist would be, PF, jails, and the handbook. PF in particular is much nicer to use than iptables to an incredible degree.
It is not that simple. Right now interest rates are extremely low, so what you said is likely to be the case. On the other hand, as the economy improves credit risk will decline, and lower credit risk can drive bond yields lower (this is exactly what happens in the high yield market), which is more or less what happened for three decades beginning in the 1980s.
Or it could be evidence of Apache's configuration language being closely tied into its internal implementation in a spaghetti-code way! If there's one fundamental truth in open source, it's that maintaining things is hard, doubly so when it's a fork of a complex system that few people fully understand. The absence of a fork does not mean users are satisfied, simply that the people who might be motivated to fork have better alternatives for their time (for instance, learning Nginx).
Sure ... but society would adapt and make replacement words as derogatory as the words they replaced. The euphemism treadmill is a well-observed phenomenon.

The “nazism” article has links to night of the long knives and holocaust in the very first section.

Not just the language, but IBM mainframes and transactions and that while ecosystem. It's not like having your Python script query a SQL database.

I'm using coarse / imprecise language for brevity. Certainly in eastern meditation there is a lot of reflection being done on the meditative experiences and their import or significance, which can lead to perceived insight. However, such reflection (as the word implies) is post hoc.

Similarly, the focus that meditation requires is a discipline of not getting distracted by the outside world or by the sea of thoughts and emotions that resides in our mind, but it is not a focus on any particular idea or concept. Rather, it is a focus on (achieving) a certain state of mind or experience.

Meditation in the Biblical sense is deliberative, logical, active and always involves freely thinking about a certain topic or set of ideas. It does not seek to constrain/limit itself beyond the level of focus required for reading a book, for example. Meditation in the eastern sense seeks to 'transcend' logic and emotion and does not require or depend on any logical or emotional processes. Actually, logical and emotional processes hinder meditation.
Thanks for the great writeup. I got to know about a lot of ls** commands that would be useful in future.

I'm white, but first generation immigrant. I think the change that GitHub did is as well for the wrong reasons. It's not because it is offensive, but because it might be reminding people of US history that many people are ashamed of (it reminds me of Aushwitz, the reason the place is still open and allows tourists is so we don't forget about it and won't repeat the history). The master in git wasn't even related to slavery, its meaning comes from meaning like master copy.

I don't mind change if it is for the better, for example postgresql instead of master-slave uses master-standby which is much more accurate how the replication works. Perhaps using main by GitHub is better, but because of timing, it feels like it was made to help forget about that part of the history, which IMO is doing the opposite of what was intended.
This looks really cool! I'm going to give it a try. I always lose my notes. My workaround is a personal Discord server, to post notes to myself, which is nice to have a mobile app where I can share links to on mobile I want to save for later, but the different channels doesn't really provide enough structure to the notes, plus searching is not great in discord.

Do you have like a hack to post notes to and from mobile?
No. The BSD world doesn't work like that. You either use the system because you like it, or you don't. Nobody is going to convince you.

The only "reason" to use any BSD over another system is because you want to. That's why you never get a good answer.
That puts things into perspective. I sometimes worry about my ability to become a software engineer just because I never finished my degree and I'm in my late 20's.

But I already know java fairly well and a few other languages like python as well, maybe its just a matter of making some more side projects and selling myself better.

I can understand why you would need to drive 3 miles instead of ride a bike. Your first reply covered that quite well.

The rest of this gibberish. I have no idea how you see this as a reasonable interpretation to either of my posts.

My point was that if it’s feasible to walk or ride a bike someone instead of drive, you should. I didn’t make it well, but I also didn’t suggest you are better driving 10 times further either.

You’ve gone from making a reasonable point to being damned near incoherent.

I agree that a CoC by itself doesn't do anything. But if you want to do strict moderation, you need to put in place some rules that you can use to guide moderation and to make it transparent what the rules ares whch govern this moderation.

Otherwise you end up with arbitrarily enforced rules, created ad-hoc by whoever is doing the enforcing, without a way to know what they are or a way to appeal if you feel wrongly moderated.

I hear that from people all the time who are more advanced in their careers than me. But I can't imagine finding myself in a place where I don't have my current setup. I am able to do everything so much faster having my custom i3, Emacs setup than anyone else I work with. People often comment "Wow you are able to do that so fast."

Now that I discovered Vimium I consider it a UX failure if I ever have to use the mouse. Like I don't think I could ever go back to having a system that doesn't navigate by jkl;, everything else seems to slow and clunky. Like yesterday I had to upload a file and the interface only supported drag and drop, and I took it personally that I had to use a mouse.

Sorry I am ranting, but after having experienced the power of the keyboard all time and the ease of doing things in the terminal how can you stand going back? This isn't rhetorical either I genuinely just wonder how you overcome the additional pointing and clicking required?
