I'm actually using Prisma.io right now.

TypeORM has another similar solution.

Postgraphile looks cool, but ... you're writing your custom handler in PostgreSQL script. This strikes me as suboptimal for debugging and general developer productivity. Otherwise, you're right, it's a similar solution. Which actually contradicts your assertion that I'm highlighting features "packaged with the ORM I use."

Hasura...looks like a black box that you'd have very little direct control over, and if they went out of business, you'd be totally screwed. I'm very firmly against lock-in with no fallback. Been there. Don't want to do it again.

Regardless, I'm only six-months-new on the GraphQL version of this stack. Before that I was using FeathersJS with Sequelize: Similar to GraphQL only with more traditional REST endpoints and less built-in JOINing between tables. FeathersJS actually has more flexibility in querying a single table, and adding indirect JOINs was possible/generalizable across your whole API with a few lines of code, but what wasn't as clean was the security model for who could see what.

Another similar stack is LoopbackJS. I'm sure there are more.

So it's really, really not that of a niche case. I've used a similar approach again and again for pretty much every backend project that needed a CRUD API. Every one of those projects I touched probably had 1/100th the amount of raw code required compared to the traditional wasteful approach.
How does this effect people who have had a full or partial colectomy? Is this tied to the large, small, or both?

> even if the danger the person fears is real (which I think is often not the case). Using a gun is the end of your life.

In 2020 in the US, there were 674 cases of defensive gun use[1], actually down from 751 in 2019. For the record, that's more cases than mass shootings in the US[2], despite what most news sites would have you believe. And 2020 was an abnormally high year for mass shootings. So I disagree with your "often is not the case" statement, because many times it is the case.

But I think that misses the point. If the danger a person fears is real, then even if you are financially bankrupt after having to use a firearm in self defense, you're still alive, which is better than being flush with cash and dead.

But beyond that, personal protection is, interestingly, not what America's second amendment was made for - it's merely a side effect. It's actually about giving the people the right to, effectively, overthrow the government, or at least keep them in check. It's about balance of power.

And before someone chimes in about how a bunch of rednecks with AR-15s will never overthrow the military with their tanks and jets and bombs, leaving aside the fact that many military personnel would probably disobey orders to attack Americans, the fact is there are over 300 million guns in the hands of an estimated 150 million people; whereas there are about 1.3 million active military personnel[3], and as they say -- quantity is it's own quality.

It's pretty depressing when friendships end over something as shallow as political opinions but I've seen it several times. One day people are going to have to realize that your allegiance to the guy right in front of you matters more than your allegiance to some guy who wouldn't even want to meet you if he ever heard of you.
Just a second hand anecdote, but a professor of mine

The problem that causes this is that the supply and demand curves drift farther and farther apart until they barely intersect at all. At some point they will no longer intersect, and that will be that.
Software engineers use our skills to profit routinely. We do this mostly by switching from one job to another where we will get paid more.

The reason we do this rather than using our "leverage" to get more where we are, is that managers tend to get angry about what they consider extortion. Many would rather fire the extorter and hire someone more manageable (even if less skillful) in their place.

There's also the budget problem. Speaking now as a manager, I recently recommended that one of our devops engineers be showered with money to get him to stay. I was laughed at. NO ONE below the rank of Vice President gets showered with money. There just isn't money in the budget for that.

As I feared, the devops engineer in question recently gave notice. I'm thinking about tuning up my resume and following him.

I’ve noticed this too in my time in my org, it’s reasonably common to just rebuild something simple if the other team isn’t responding to your tickets and escalations. The fact that they are three or four different time zones away from me on either side of the country doesn’t help.

The last point about making a phone completely from scratch was a negative one for me, the idea of making such a complicated thing completely from scratch felt like it was bound to be really bad and full of bugs compared to other companies who have been making this for a long time, because the initial investment I expect would need to be so huge to make a performant well tested phone from scratch
The annual mortgage on a 1.2M loan (80% of 1.5) is 70k or so. That's perfectly reasonable on a 500k/year salary. Not sure why you'd call that insane.

It's almost as if prescription drug marketing were inherently a severe conflict of interest that represents a danger to public health, and should therefore be much, much more tightly restricted.
You're right, that wasn't the best choice of words. I just meant that it would be difficult to ignore or be uninfluenced by it, at least if there were able to exist "THE metaverse" rather than several fragmented attempts.
Even worse, it rewards landlords who bought into the property bubble with an overoptimistic model of risk. We need some debt repudiation to raise interest rates and stop this debt spiral. A law that nullified these debts would be much better - paying them off is just dumping more gas on the fire.
It is possible, and rational, to be skeptical and trust others simultaneously. Life is more fun if you do not believe everyone is out to get you, and that there are shades of gray.
I have never had an issue installing Windows 10 to a machine I upgraded to an ssd…I had hell with an old Dell Precision workstation because of the built in RAID controller…but that’s another story…and when I upgraded that machine to W7 from XP 64 bit, I bought new spinning rust for it. But W8 went smooth and I got W10 working by disabling the RAID during install (I used an SSD for boot).

That machine, with dual e5405’s is still in service for gaming at my kid’s place.

Physical install media for 10 is a matter of downloading an .exe and selecting the option for making a thumb drive as the installation disk and then booting from it.

It’s relatively straight forward but there are a few moving parts for sure. Typically f12 to select boot device.

2009 was a long time ago in tech terms.
The ISO media file format is, like GP said, basically QuickTime.

This can be a problem if you're the kind of completionist who needs to implement everything they see and make one C++ class per QuickTime atom - a problem I saw with a lot of mp4 codebases.

But there's no need to do this because almost all the things in the spec don't matter. Just don't read any of them and handle the rest procedurally and it'll be fine. It looks like JPEG XL also has too many features (like this animation and patching thing) so maybe just ignore that too.

begging the question. I am merely commenting on the credibility of accepting an argument about victimization from someone who demands that we bifurcate that from how they have victimized others. There is one reality and yet we all have our own. You aren't entitled to demand your reality be adopted as the only one.

I'm a white guy too, I've never felt the need to opt out of discourse out of fear of being canceled. Cancel culture is designed to silence discourse...but not in the way you think. The term was created out of whole cloth and is designed to silence critique. It is a label applied to exempt behavior from critique. Discourse requires critique, cancel culture is designed to be a singular label to ensure ideas from certain people (i.e., you and me) are not subject to critique. You can note that this entire thread has treated any critique of the author as largely akin to a violent attack on them. What kind of discourse is that?

'Cancel culture' is a bad faith argument, not something you need to fear.
It is a narrative created specifically to make you feel the way you describe in your edit when there is no evidence to support that. You don't need a throwaway...just like I'm totally identifiable from my account history while continuing to say dumb things, I manage that by (mostly) being respectful of people. Cancel culture is right wing propaganda.
Debian (LXDE) is, I find, dependable. Sure, it might have a Python version last updated in January, and my dodgy WiFi card might need restarting most mornings, and I might have to run `pulseaudio -k` when the sound starts getting laggy, but it just doesn't break. (I expect restarting my computer more often than yearly might help some.)

The only Debian issue I've had is needing to delete the Intel graphics drivers to get Vulkan working. (Yes, delete; it doesn't need them on my machine, despite having an Intel card.) Nothing else has ever broken.
This happens in the Bay Area for a similar but different reason, the promise that you’re on a rocket ship that is pre-initial exit can hold folks tight with sub dollar stock options that promise to 20-30x in value if you win the lottery.

Smarter folks have just gone for the one or two year cliffs, this is one of the reasons “job hopping” is looked down on for high skilled workers and attributed to attitude and not the companies’ failed promises. Obviously not keeping people is painful for growth too, but it’s still a very one sided power dynamic.

What a ridiculously useless term.
Just going to throw some knowledge in here before we get too many people lamenting that college should be about education and how money could be better spent elsewhere. Most universities pay for their athletics programs through tickets to events, money from wealthy donors, and sponsorships. In most cases, if you took away the athletics from a university you'd just be removing a source of entertainment for students, alumni, and fans. For most, there would be a net zero change in how much is spent on the university.

Another thing to remember is that 99% of all student athletes are never even going to sniff being a professional athlete. Most don't even really have professional leagues they can join. These athletes are getting a huge opportunity to get college paid for and, hopefully, gain an education that benefits them later.

The outliers - like Alabama, Miami, USC, Notre Dame, etc. - are just that. They make millions and reap those rewards at the expense of the smaller schools who can't keep up with the Joneses. This ruling, even though it is fair to athletes, will have major repercussions on the state of college sports, and without a major overhaul of the system we will see cutbacks in many programs as we saw when Title IX - another fair ruling - went into effect.

Is there any implementation out there that attempts to model the mixture of different color pigments?

It would be cool if we could select a color like "cadmium red" and mix it "titanium white" to mimic a real painting and its interactions, instead of simply select colors in a sRGB space.
@Peloton, here is your next big idea
In the spirit of rifting and drifting... If you're losing friends over shifting position about science, economics or somesuch then you're doing it wrong.

I've maintained close friendships to people who've gone literal flat-earth for several year spans. It's not the content that drives rifts, it's delivery. After work bar chats with friends are even better when the friends disagree, I find.

If you can't hold a pleasant adversarial conversation, I reckon you can't be good at skepticism. The two are linked.
JPEG2000 just wasn't a great format either. Wavelets don't compress well because they get blurry, which isn't pleasant to look at, and it's slow to decode, so sticking with JPEG was a good idea. Similar issues with WebP, it wasn't good enough to move to.

Ask HN: A good Linux laptop below 1000€
Hello HN,

I have recently got rid of my Macbook pro and I am looking for a replacement. I thought, HN is the best place to ask, as there are many people here use linux laptops as their daily drivers.

I am looking for a good linux laptop for development purposes, with proper support from the manufacturer (e.g. officially supported).

The ideal price would be less than 1000€, but it is flexible.

Let me know of your suggestions, and thank you in advance!

You can argue the numbers and there's probably a top tier of people who are no brainers. But, yeah, in general at least for elite university admissions, they could probably toss most or all of the admitted pile in the trash, figure out who to admit from the rest of the pile, and the world would keep on turning just fine.
There are no complaints about downvoting in this comment. What about this comment do you believe breaks the guidelines.

I'm not sure how I could of asked the original question any differently:

If someone claimed to know several albinos, and in their experience found them to all wear purple sweaters - it might might be worth finding out that they met them at the purple-sweater-albinos meetup.

If someone knows a statistically unlikely group, they are unlikely to have been selected at random, so they are not necessarily a representative sample. That's why when you put forward some element in an argument, it should be possible to interrogate it.

I didn't express any doubt that they knew intersex people, nor did I say their argument invalid - in fact I explicitly said that it might produce a bias.
Where do you live? In Germany you can buy fresh sprouts very cheap in any Supermarket even in Aldi. It's about 1 Euro per 250 gramm, and even cheaper in any asian grocery store.

Common among the cognitive elites, but the rest of us are lucky to get one. For me, Amazon was the one. And the fact that people think the bar is lower (and therefore I’m stupid) has made me cry myself to sleep before.

Outside of the US, elite athletes are often members of non-university clubs. These clubs are supported well and often have very good funding.
How far do you want to take this argument?

Warning people about someone's creepy behavior isn't a punishment, it's a warning that they might violate my moral code and I should probably avoid them. Is me avoiding them punishment? Should I then be punished? not punished?

Man, I thought zero days and secret backdoors were bad enough. Now we have to worry about manufactured hash collisions in all our repos' files dating back forever?
It is weird, but i think you should remind your leftists friends of the Black Panther movement. Open carry pretty much created the movement, and it could have been the dream of any leftist if the rainbow coalition was not stopped by Fred Hampton's assassination by the police.

Netflix should really make a documentary on the BPP, the historian now practically agree on much of the main points (still miss classified files about CIA involvment, and a lot of FBI's). I really hoped the BLM movement could evolve into something like BPP, but i guess now it's harder to find time to read.
>This has nothing to do with biology

>look blurred to the human eye

Ah but it has everything to do with biology. You are proposing a far too simple model for the signal processing actually at play. Unfortunately there is no clock going to the rods and cones, they simply fire signals off asynchronously and the timebase is reconstructed in your noggin. How would you go about filtering a few million samples all on their own timebases that are themselves not uniformly (or even periodically) sampled? It would be a truly awful approximation.

I think one reasonable and effective way to act in this sort of complexity is to reduce your dependency on pharmaceuticals as much as possible. It may not be doable for some, but those that can stay healthy while avoiding pharmaceuticals are likely to be better off.
At the level of running apps, yes. But unless I'm way behind on my rooting tech, all of the usual methods leave the phone in a state where anyone who connects it to a computer via USB can access everything on it. AFAIK, Android has gotten way better at having phones with the stock OS locked down hard, with signed bootloaders, OS level encryption keys stored in secure media, etc, and rooting blows that all away.
20% of the curve is ranked top tier? I'd like to work there. It's 8% at my company. Of course company also says they evaluate against a standard, but it's really stack ranking behind the scenes. It think it's always going to be stack ranked in IT since the standards/metrics are so vague.

All of the third parties you cite have had their own scandals and betrayals of trust over the years.

But he was communicating to a large public audience on Twitter.

It's ok to expect from a friend in 1-on-1 to ask you "what do you mean a "sexual predator"?" in a maybe surprised, but genuinely interested manner...

But expecting nuance and curiosity from random people on the internet after you label yourself "sexual predator" publicly without much context? That's quite a lapse in judgement, imo.

I remember a public radio personality who publicly revealed that he served a sentence for murder when he was younger, and it was handled much better, with much better result. It was all arranged with the other people in the radio show, it was introduced in detail and context, etc. He didn't just one day wake up and decide to surprise everyone with a big reveal and apologize to society. I guess not a great comparison, but "sexual predator" has some legal/criminal connotations, too.

I'd say it's much more accurate than the weird caricature you propped up.

A bunch of people cited problem. Employer fired him. I don't assume he's guilty, but I have absolutely no reason to think him innocent, or somehow the victim in all of this.

Being a creep has consequences. His own confession admitted to being a creep (the largest red flag being the claim of doing "dumb things while drunk", which is a go to in every obnoxious behavior). Eh.
