If I were the manager I'd just say, if the guy calls, let me talk to him, and then tell him "It doesn't seem you really like our pizzas, we don't want to ruin your dinner, so why don't you order somewhere else?".

A better manager would figure out how to keep him as a paying customer...

I'm reading mostly CS and mathematic textbooks, although I am reading the Kybalion too. The first half of the secret is finding a good book which is a problem you would think would be solved by now. The second half is learning to take good notes and how that's done is subjective, but I typically write as if someone else will be reading my notes. What I get out of it all isn't always clearcut but for example, after I read a textbook on logic, I almost didn't notice that it altered how I thought. Ultimately, for me, reading is about leveling up.

I've spent the last six months working with a codebase that does exactly this. Aside from the obvious problems with exposing your schema to potential attackers, opening up potential DOS vectors, and training front-end engineers on yet another technology, you end up with some code that is very, very difficult to test. If you're using it in your hobby project and you're aware of the pitfalls - fine, go ahead and do whatever you like. But if you're expecting to incorporate this as part of an engineering organization: Save everyone the hassle now and don't.
It's got the usual "comfort controls" (i.e. vignetting while moving). If you leave those switched on then it's OK for people that haven't got their VR legs yet.

But - yeah - with everything switched off it can be at the "intense" end of the spectrum.

> In the end money is just an abstraction to determine who has to do back-breaking work all day, and who doesn't.

Maybe, but are you insinuating that no back breaking work would need to be done if money weren’t to exist?

Pretty sure the introduction of money reduces the total amount of backbreaking work to be done. Instead of hauling grain to trade for axe heads and carrying those back to your farm, you carry coins, paper, or in modern times, tap a few buttons on your smartphone.
I've heard the idea expressed by many people in many different ways. Most versions compare our civilizations progress to a cancer or virus instead of just any old bacteria, because of the way we treat our environment. My favorite example is this[1] post about Factorio, which is a game in which you constantly add to a factory and expand to use more resources.

> Just as you can’t go back to buying a prebuilt PC if you’ve built one in the past.

Eh, I think it depends on where your life takes you. Other than an IBM PC XT, I'm not sure we ever had a pre-built desktop PC in our home while I was growing up. Naturally I built all of my computers going off to school, but around ~2004 I made the jump to mostly Macs (and later Chrome devices) -- since then the closest I've come to building my own PC at home is buying an Intel NUC kit and outfitting it with an SSD and some RAM. That said, I think I get my fill of computer tinkering at work fiddling with BIOS and other firmware SPIs, PCIe cabling, bad QSFP optics, and even the odd trivial PCB rework :)

On the other hand, while I don't see it as likely I'll get into biking, I own enough sets of skis to call it a quiver, yet I'm still actively debating which new kit to pick up for next season.

You can run into problems if you have two threads handling two requests. Each of them might have a shared read-lock as they are getting data, and when they both try to update to a write-lock to do some update, one of them will be canceled (throw an exception: SQLITE_BUSY).

This seems to me like a Rails bug, it should be serializing transactions when running against SQLite.

Well, back in the "olden days" in the late 90's, this was actually pretty common: ColdFusion allowed SQL statements to be embedded in the templates, and JSP had sql tags. IIRC, most people moved away from that model primarily for flexibility and maintainability: having SQL statements mixed in with the presentation led to a lot of code duplication and made putting a different front-end (say, a third party API) nearly impossible.
Looks cool - wonder why its not more popular.

I think the read/write-through cache to a backend database is the missing piece...at least as far as I can see.

I had to follow these ridiculous rules despite the fact that I never actually had access to PII and was working as programmer at Goldman Sachs (in PWM, no robo trading or anything). These rules seem to be in place mostly for (relatively) poor people.
>For a single low monthly fee you got access to movies from all the major networks, and a good selection of TV shows as a bonus. The networks started getting greedy - HBO Max, Paramount+, Disney+, Peacock, Discovery+, the list goes on - all wanting their own $5-$15/month cut on the action.

It's funny to think that the platform, which is pretty easily replicable, is nearly as valuable as the content.

I spent all of the stimulus money I received at local businesses which have been severely impacted by the pandemic. Unfortunately none of them offered stock I could purchase.

My first instinct was to give it all to a large tech company in exchange for some marvelous electronic bauble from China, but that seemed counter-productive after some deep thought.
Because it exposes a lot of inner details and potential security/privacy risks if clients are able to change parameters.

But... it seems like if you're willing to expose your data model to the client, then it seems like some combination of code signing the SQL (with parameters left empty) along with the acceptable list of named parameters, e.g.:

Signed blob:

{
sql: "SELECT name, email, ... FROM users WHERE users.id = %(userid)s"
allowedParameters: []
}

Such that the client is allowed to send this query, but they're not allowed to provide any parameters, the backend has to provide the userid. That seems workable to me.

Likewise:

{
sql: "SELECT order.price, order.... FROM orders WHERE orders.user_id = %(userid)s AND orders.id = %(orderid)s"
allowedParameters: ["orderid"]
}

This would allow the frontend to provide an order ID, but not the user ID - so the user still can't look at other people's orders and if not logged in, it's an invalid query without a userid. And the client isn't allowed to change the "sql" or parameters sent or the signature is invalid.

Edit: Someone else replied that if you have sufficiently advanced build tooling, you can statically extract the SQL/GraphQL from the client side code and replace them with IDs, and then move the SQL to the backend. That's very cool, but the average startup isn't using bazel/buck/etc. Those tools aren't yet small app friendly enough (which is unfortunate, IMO.)
The fact that high-ranking politicians and bureaucrats can trade stocks at all is criminal. The moral hazard is unbelievable.
Which mic?
Oh, you're right. I see that now. Having said that Apple isn't really big on cross-platform features either. I don't see a Facetime Android client, for example, and have no expectation they'd make Apple Fitness+ work on anything but their own devices; after all the byline is "Apple Fitness+ ... powered by Apple Watch." And since the watch requires their phone that's a big investment if you just want to exercise with friends.
You Have to Get the Right Ticker
Since SQLite is embedded in your program, why not use your programming language directly. SQLite can even callback in custom functions you define. For example in Python: https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html#sqlite3.Conne....

The main reason why main client-server databases have so many built-in functions is because of the round-trips. Let's say you want to filter rows based on the result of some function, if your function is implemented client-side, then the database would have to send each row to the client.

If you had clicked it you would have seen the title accurately reflects the article's content (which itself accurately describes the situation):

Weinstein has plugged a "theory of everything" but until recently wouldn't put it through scientific channels for proper analysis; unsurprisingly it isn't taken seriously by experts.

As for the fanboy website you link to, the onus is not on others to go to Weinstein, but for him to be humble enough to submit to normal scientific process. As with the similar case of Wolfram, wealth and expertise in an unrelated subject does not count as evidence or authority in physics.

An interesting theory from "Sapiens" is that human happiness doesn't change too much throughout macro history.

People adapt to whatever the new norm is, and sort of fall back to whatever their bio-chemical baseline is. When things are in the process of getting worse or better, it'll push them one way or another. But once it settles again, so too do they.

The point being that happiness generally has more to do with internal bio-chemistry than whatever the new norm is.
As discussed elsethread, asking how you sound as you switch between headphones and speakers doesn't tell you anything. People who don't wear headphones make others sound bad (when the echo cancellation software fails).

I experience this problem all the time: Zoom, Whereby, Google Meet, Slack etc. If people are disciplined about muting their mic when they aren't speaking, that helps. But as soon as you have one participant listening in without headphones and an unmuted mic, if the echo cancellation doesn't work then whoever else is speaking will sound bad.

I'm not saying Pelosi isn't fabulously wealthy, nor that she isn't engaged in activities which are unethical to enrich herself; but her fridge and ice cream are not evidence of this. The Speaker of the House makes a quarter million dollars per year. That's more than enough to afford such luxuries.

Don’t know about web support these days but a lot of mobile and desktop apps use a pattern of having a local SQLite db which is “synced” to a remote database using a sync protocol.

That sync protocol could be anything (rest, rpc, graphql, or even xml changesets in zip files on webDAV - I’m looking at you OmniFocus)

This setup has the benefits of being able to work offline (just sync later when network is back) and the ability to perform local SQL queries to populate UI views. But comes with all the extra complexity related to synchronising local and remote database. Stuff like handling conflicts.

> A small proportion of a big pie can be much more filling than a large proportion of a small pie.

That works for pies, but not necessarily for human psychology. Rationally, yes, you'd prefer to have more in absolute value, but humans are not rational - they work on relative comparisons.

Having more of a small pie gives you an advantage in mate selection, influence (political/social) and options. So the richest man in a village that has $X is probably happier than the wall-street banker that has $10X but is surrounded by people who have $100X. That's just how our psychology works.

In the past, the things that ultimately worked were collective revolts, strikes, sabotage, assassinations.

I think we need to acknowledge that, in the same way that the people with the power to stop this are profiting, they are also the people with the power to change who is in power or how they get in power. Elections are not effective ways of changing systemic power structures anymore. Society pretty much needs an overhaul, especially in the face of serious existential risks like climate change or looming military conflicts.

I read one book per week, all non-fiction. For me the keys to successful reading are:

* Read 2-3 books concurrently, spanning multiple topics. This helps me match book to mood.

* Use a highlighter for active reading. This makes it more like data collection than data processing.

* Find a consistently good recommendation source with with variety

* Binge on Saturday or Sunday morning. In a good morning, I will cover +150 pages which makes up for days I take off.

* Give yourself permission to bail early. The opportunity cost of a boring book is too high.

From my blog about reading:

The market would need to find ways to perform the back-breaking work, either by wages increasing or the development of automation. Supply and demand. The more people who can accumulate wealth and capital, and intelligently manage that wealth, the greater the reduction in the labor supply (as they will fund their expenses using investment returns versus engaging in labor activities to do so).

Money is an abstraction, but the status quo as a whole (monetary policy, capital markets, labor policy) is designed to ensure a supply of labor. Capital begets capital [1], so those who don't have will engage in riskier behavior to get off the wage slave treadmill.

[1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16592414 ("I think capitalism is much simpler: capital begets capital. Those who have capital will accumulate more capital, almost infinitely, until the capital/income ratio reaches an equilibrium who knows how high (in the absence of major corrections like wars and hyper inflation). Add inherited wealth and low taxes. Capitalism's winners are those who already have capital. Thomas Pickety's book "Capital in the 21st Century" cogently illustrates this using massive tax return based data sets.")

-The 12 bit A/D provides a (theoretical) 72dB of S/N, so if you can do that at a decent sample rate to get sufficient bandwidth, the digitizing should be good.

As long as the PWM D/A has a good clock to keep the PWM ratio accurate, I think it should be eminently listenable, given a proper reconstruction filter and a decent power supply.

It would be fun to try this.
In Canada, what the government deems appropriate is under a version of the Sword of Damocles known as the electorate. A government can lose confidence of the house at any time in the way we know it. We can start to see this with a polarized cabinet in Alberta right now.

If we continue to teach good civics and encourage people promise no safe votes to politicians, they won't make reasonable limits unreasonable.
These are the types APIs that I CONSTANTLY have to tell our internal guys "Hey, don't do that!"

I get WHY you'd want to be able to throw in any random filter/sort to get the exact datapoints you are after, but that's both really hard to scale and often ends up being highly coupled to the underlying datastore.

I get it, requirements gathering and making a clean API is hard and time consuming. What's harder is not doing that and needing to eventually figure out "How on earth can I get constant response times or stop someone from sending an app crashing query all while supporting current usages".

They are neither left nor right. There is a middle elite group that exploits politics on either side of the aisle to maintain power. And that's all it is. And they get filthy rich, but so too does the CCP which is left-wing. Taking advantage of power for personal gain is not an exclusive domain of one wing or the other.
At any rate these oversimplified analogies break down among many lines upon closer inspection. There are elite insiders and then there's the rest of us.

In this specific case, Fitness+ is relatively cheap to produce (all the content is theirs except for the music, but they already have a good relationship with music producers) and cheap to distribute. They make 1-3 new videos per instructor a week. I doubt it's costing them much per user to distribute the content. However, the Apple Watch is a nice profitable device for them and Fitness+ requires Apple Watch. So for anyone who already has the highest tier subscription (probably a decent chunk of multi-iDevice families out there) they will find themselves having Fitness+ but being unable to use it, which creates one extra motivator to buy an Apple Watch.

That's where they end up making money anyways, 75% or so of their revenue is from device sales (computers, phones, tablets, watches, etc.). The services help to keep people within that hardware ecosystem which gets people onto the upgrade cycle or to consider a second or third Apple device instead of just having one.
Roger Ver had nothing to do with the BCH fork. In fact, he was many months late in showing any public support for it. He was dead silent until it started to look like the core devs were going to reneg on their agreement to support 2mb blocks in exchange for passing Segwit. And as expected, they did reneg on that, immediately after they got what they wanted.

BCH is not Roger Ver. BCH is all of the old school Bitcoiners who still believe Bitcoin can scale like Satoshi intended. And they're a hell of a lot less toxic to interact with.
I think the link I put below probably does a better job explaining what I'm looking for. This has mainly to do with dataframes (not unstructured text). Here's the link again in case this thread gets long and you don't know what I'm referring to:

https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/getting_started...

Generally, I vastly prefer the SQL operations to the pandas ones, though (and this is very important) only when pandas is essentially recreating what is in SQL's sweet spot. For example, you can use pandas operations to do joins, aggregations, filters, and so forth. I would rather write that code in sql.

I would not prefer to generate summary statistics in SQL, find correlations between columns, or do other things that are in the realm of scientific or statistical programming. There will be a grey area in there, for sure. I also find that many things that require SQL trickery (such as self-joins) often have a very very simple pandas solution such was cumulative sums on a column. So I go back and forth between SQL and pandas quit a bit (as each operation returns a data frame).

Just to be clear again, some people just can't stand SQL and want to stay away from it as much as possible. Other people, like me, greatly prefer it, but even for us there are scenarios where we'd much rather use pandas than get into leetcode style SQL trickery.
Pelosi makes millions during the 'deadliest pandemic in history' and no one turns an eye. Problem is this will fade away like every single other important topic of these ruling elites, who don't give a single f*k about you or me or any social issues.

Ok yes she did count the votes, determine that this was the highest number that could be negotiated, and then she worked to push the bill forward as she should have. And then the president tweeted out of nowhere which changed things. Trump's unpredictability is well known for anyone who has read the news at least once in the past five years. All of this is above board. What do you want her to do? Forget all of her policy goals and act against all of her stated interests because her husband bought calls the previous day?

I don't know if you remember, but the amount of stimulus remained 600, so Pelosi was on money on what was politically possible. The remaining 1400 only was possible after the slimmest of senate majorities after the Georgia runoffs.
