Yeah - I’m nowhere near Amazon but I’ve heard it, even been called it more than once. In my experience it’s not a title, so much as a role in a particular context. Like, I could be GM of billing - and therefore in a meeting I might be one of the billing SMEs.

Mapping to actual objects. Type mapping. Merging requests over relationships. Transaction integration. Dealing with dirty markers and writebacks. All of those along with validation depend on the database and object formats. Those are why ORMs exist in the first place.

If you take them out, what you have left is a repository pattern with some struct mapping helpers only. Which is fine if you want that, but you'd miss the "R" and the "O".

> Critical race theorists reject the idea that "race" has a natural referent.

Who knew that heritability and geographic separation don't affect humans. Then these genetic distance maps [1], and certainly this one [2], are just complete nonsense? They must be, since we already know race has no basis in nature, so any evidence showing otherwise is by definition flawed. I believe dismissing it as "subjective" is the usual approach (whereas evidence that emphasizes similarities is, of course, fully objective).

Many magazines use rollout and different surfaces. But pretty much every car manufacturer displays their acceleration numbers without excluding rollout or using a prepped surface. The dodge deamon is the exception here because it is designed for drag racing.

Tesla is interesting because they selectively include or exclude the rollout in their acceleration numbers. For their slower (but still very fast) models they include the rollout, and for their faster ones they exclude it, artificially increasing the gap between their models. Not sure why.
In practice, it means that local/state police won't/shouldn't call the ATF if they suspect someone is doing something evil with a gun, like making one with a 15" barrel, putting a stock on a pistol, using an oil filter as a suppressor, or 3d-printing a drop-in auto sear in order to waste money at the range more quickly.

Some of the above might still be illegal under state law, of course, and those cops can arrest you for that.

But if the ATF discovers that you've committed one of the above crimes (10 year felony for each), they can still roll in and arrest you/shoot your dog. They just won't have access to local support.
The overall stats like "miles driven per accident" are probably the closest you'll get to this. Obviously Tesla bangs the drum every time figures come out in its favour. There is a level of incompleteness in the data and also some gray areas around the methodology that Tesla uses. But the overall figures do tend to indicate that Teslas using Autopilot and/or active safety features are safer than the average for cars (based on NHTSA and Tesla's reporting on Autopilot and/or active safety feature use).

If Tesla released more detailed data and its methodology it would be more helpful to see how significant this analysis is.
A dragnet that random citizens opt-in to host infrastructure for is still a dragnet.
I totally get that and it happens to me too. But I'm just talking about making an effort and the guy from OP didn't sound like he was making an effort at all.

Its possible that if he has social issues like some of us do that he didn't realize how bad his behavior was because everyone was afraid to tell him. But now that he knows I hope going forward he tries to get his anger under control a little more.

Kindness and understanding works both ways. We should also expect people that are naturally good at stuff like empathy and social skills to be patient and forgiving if they see that we try and fail.
> jump through so many hoops to avoid developing on the OS that's actually running the application in production.

lolwut? Most of us have been using homebrew longer than docker has been popular, often codebases older than that, too. If anything, it takes far more hoop jumping for the average user to run a full 1:1 VM on OSX.
In some systems the cost of writing and maintaining stubbed or alternate versions of things you don’t want hit by tests in prod can be pretty overbearing. Good SLOs can serve the same purpose as well for that sort of flow
>> However, when we would be done with a racing session, we would deconstruct and disclose our racing with each other.

That is one of the things I miss most about racing, during the race the horns did come out and the competition was tough, before and after we did help each other and enjoyed spending time with others having the same hobby. Nothing like having a laugh while helping someone you crashed into fix their car to get it ready for the next heat
@nicoburns: Yes, this is something that we've been thinking about, but we haven't put a spec together yet.

Could you open a github issue with a rough proposal of how you'd like to specify this information?

For example: at a subscription level (with a directive or header), or via metadata built-on query collections [1] (what Hasura uses underneath for managing allow-lists).

As far as I understand it, it's all the same concept and the difference is mainly where the scheduler is. Raymond Chen also notes that, while an interesting thing to have in the OS in 1996, they aren't really used anymore. And unlike very kernel-tied things like I/O there isn't much sense to use the OS-provided support that's just on one OS anyway; easier to just include your own scheduler, which also avoids the kernel call overhead.
HBO should email everyone to give us all the choice of whether to get an apology email.
You might have looked at Flow Based Programming?

It has certain characteristics that align with a game like Factorio or Oxygen Not Included etc. such as visual programming, backpressure, common interfaces, local retention etc.

I can imagine this being applied to distributed/cloud computing as a way to reason about high level interactions and perhaps functional/integrated testing.

>That's not how risk management works, and it's also not how costs work.

It's how it works in a lot of successful trading firms; Jump Tower and Citadel for instance have competing internal teams. Reduces the risk to the firm because if one team's approach fails, chances are another will still be doing okay.
How do you define prosperity?

GDP seems a flawed metric when discussing plunder: of course country A forcing country B to mine or farm will increase the GDP of country B.

I believe it requires either supremacism, inconsistency or hypocrisy to argue that land ownership at home should be sacrosanct whilst the rest of the world is fair game.

I’m actually not arguing for one thing or another, but I do have a side. I’m fine with overt supremacism or racism, though both run counter to my values.
What is a “task”? A single unit of work that cannot be reduced further? Forcing multiple people to work on that is just a waste.

If it’s about bigger packages like user stories I agree that usually multiple people should work on it in parallel. Not necessarily together.
If you want people to take your point seriously you should probably learn how to communicate it.
The ARMSID is a software emulator, running on an ARM microcontroller. While it's plug-and-play with the real thing, I would not equate it with a "new SID chip".

For some it's probably fine, for others it's just not the same.
In the UK we have an option for this but it’s specific to our country: https://shop.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/apps/os-maps/

The app basically provides the same maps as they do in paper form, which shows extreme levels of detail for our countryside including pretty much every trail and all elevation data. I believe it even does snap-to-path routing inside national parks, which is pretty cool.

Ordnance Survey maps have been the standard for hiking in the UK for decades, and it’s a bit of a shame there doesn’t seem to be an equivalent elsewhere.
I think the reason why graphql is currently winning is tooling. GraphiQL, schema-aware+caching clients for front end frameworks and fragments are all things that could exist for OData or JSON-API or whatnot, but i don‘t think they do. Ember has something nice for JSON-API I believe, and you can generate various clients from your Swagger spec, but It doesn‘t look like the same thing.

It‘s not great that paging, sorting and filtering aren‘t speced in graphql, so something better could be appealing.

If OData had something along the lines of urql graphcache and a good pattern for composing 1 screen query from component fragments I‘d be interested, but I‘m not going to write it.

Also, as people like to point out, GraphQL is really some kind of RPC, which is actually pretty handy. Most ad hoc HTTP api‘s are as.well, but once you enter a more well defined spec, do you still have that flexibility to just "get things done"?
>On the other hand, society should try to be more tolerant and understanding of people who find doing so significantly more challenging than the average person does.

I agree completely. It took me a while to find a place where people didn't just treat me like I'm weird. Kindness, patience, and forgiveness are important things for everyone to work on.
Germany has currently a tendency to excel in corruption and nothing else, without it having any consequences. On the topic of surveillance they also fail at every level. The left wing of our government behaves like the Stasi. This is no exaggeration, they will send the police to your home if you say something on twitter. At least judges ruled a case as blatently illegal. No consequences again... The right wing just wants to access any form of encrypted communication.

China is well loved because it is an important market for the largest car manufacturers, so politicians love China too. I really hope they just ignore intellectual property in this case... It is not that laws are currently taken seriously anyway.
This „keeps working while it breaks“, does it have a name? It comes up in highly dynamic environments often like Smalltalk as you mentioned, but also Lisp, Erlang and others.

> Imagine you have a company that goes slower and slower every quarter, and then you confront the shareholders with the statement, that the way to solve it, is to do absolutely no new features for a quarter or two, refactor the code, learn new methodologies etc. I doubt that the shareholders would allow that

> now there are 9 programmers

Companies on the stock market don't have "9 programmers". They have a lot of teams of 9 programmers. So while it's true that it would probably completely be impossible for a stock market company to completely freeze for a quarter or two, individual teams can still do that.

If the factorio team grows to tens of programmers (it probably won't and probably shouldn't), I would be very surprised if they find the need - and if they manage to - freeze all teams together for a big refactoring round. I am also unsure that it would be the right approach. That observation holds wether they go public or stay private.
Every single time I've seen somebody not using ORM on something more complicated than a todo list side project, the alternative becomes an imposible to understand and maintain mess of joins, custom made query builders, manual computation of computed fields, custom calls to fetch related data and hand made crappy shell scripts to do schema migrations.

Also, most of the times this happens to come always from ecosystems which don't have a good ORM... such as Go, Node (up until recently... Prisma is pretty good), etc.

In my statistics class we were taught a technique for estimating the number of flies in a barn. You capture a fixed size sample of flies, e.g. 100, and give them each a little white dot on the back, then release them all back in the barn. Leave them to mingle for a while, then capture another fixed number of flies, e.g. 100. If 5 of them have a white dot on them, then you estimate that the 100 flies you captured originally and marked make up 5% of the total population, meaning your estimate of the total population must be 2000 flies.

Data protection regulations (esp. GDPR) are totally unconcerned with the distinction between first and third party cookies. They are concerned with data collection permissions and scopes, regardless of the technology used.

If you are capturing information which is not essential to the service/product you are offering at that moment and in that session, then you need specific permission - even for your own cookies. And if you did not have that permission at the time it was collected then you cannot merge it into records after conversion.

Check out BRENDA [1]. It's the best one I've found for annotated pathways.

With regards to your tool idea, it is still very expensive to generate DNA from scratch. Designing a theoretical plasmid won't get you all the way there if you can't source the parent DNA sequence. We usually pay ~$0.30/base for DNA synthesis. Plus, I'm not sure what the metabolic pathway of psilocybin is but you may need several plasmids to recreate the whole thing in E. coli (generally limited to ~10-15 KB). An interesting idea but definitely no small feat of engineering.

oh man I just wrote a piece of code that lets me write any markdown, push a button and it just sends it out to our ~1-2000 users.

I'd be curious to hear what kovarex thinks in 2-3 months.

TDD is often sold as a fix-all solution, which is incredibly appealing to mgmt and quite fun for most programmers as a new paradigm, allowing for quick adoption.

It also has its uses, especially in the enterprise space where requirements aren't often clear. But I don't know many good programmers that truly stick to the dogma after the honeymoon period. It becomes just another tool in your toolset.

Yeah I think it’s worth giving at least a range if you suspect the company can’t even meet the minimum. Like “at this point in my career I’m targeting positions that pay from $150-$200k.” If they balk and basically say the aren’t authorized to offer over $100k, you don’t have to waste your time. This probably makes more sense with smaller companies where they tend to have more limited budgets.

It seems I have to qualify "recent", this was already studied in the 70's [1]. But recent material is available as well [2],[3],[4],[6]. [3] provides a view from an economists perspective (incentives), [6] looks at motivation of employees and compares to performance and well-being outcomes.

You are describing a compiler, not code generation as I am criticizing. When people generate code, the generated code is the code they check in and modify going forward, not just some intermediate step in a language implementation.
I wonder if it was one of the earlier PS/2 keyboards. As I recall some of those weren’t plug and play, so it would have been less of a bug and more just that the hardware wasn’t designed to be hot swapped.
If they’re randomly distributed, that makes sense.

Yes, it’s feasible but you need to clamp down on group culture. Bad apples will spoil the bunch. Focus on inclusion and empowerment via education/practice.

Watch for people who complain about challenges. Have a plan in place to redirect these negative concerns into focused efforts. Have a back up plan ready to isolate people adamant about remaining negative. This is referred to as not feeding the trolls. Typically negative people are negative in a communal fashion because they are seeking comfort from a group dynamic, misery loves company (sympathy). If such concerns are not fed these individuals will typically leave voluntarily. As frustrating as the few bad apples may be always remain positive and encouraging for the benefit of the rest of the group.

To be safe though provide written community guidance for acceptable behavior. This provides guidance for better mentorship/contribution as well as unacceptable criteria. Let it be known that violations are not tolerated and violators may be asked to leave.

To encourage a more engaged community identify experienced people who want to mentor. Seek funding for tools and safety equipment to ensure people can put hands on and actively participate. There is an art to something mundane like welding that can only be realized by putting hands on with a little bit of direction.
I'm afraid the only way there can be a faster file copying tool is by sacrificing contiguousness and increasing fragmentation. Isn't this the case?

> The question is: what did the original users of the term mean by it?

African Rhinoceros!

I don't remember the details but I think it was something on the line of a description of "a large horse with a single large horn". Now if you imagine a large _gray_ horse with a single large horn it looks quite similar to a Rihno from afar.

Now where does the things about its horn being magical come from? Well Rihno horns are believed to have "magic" properties.

And what about it being white? It was added later, by people which never had seen it, I mean what is the most "stunning" looking real horse? A grate white one (for many people).

As a side note the unicorn from Siberia did exist alongside with humans, but is likely too old, to matter for the term unicorn. Through skeletons of it might have played a role, maybe.
