It didn't say originally developed by Oracle. The statement is accurate; MySQL is currently developed by Oracle.

At big companies, sometimes the corporate lawyers are overly picky about wording in blog posts and public presentations, e.g. "make it clearer that MySQL isn't our in-house product" type of thing.

fwiw, several of FB's top database folks originally worked for MySQL AB, so they're well aware of the development history.
The short circuiting was preventing undefined behavior on the second expression.

That is, yes, it is the same with booleans. Now try with expressions.
> But I suggest that instead of being disciplined about hating on yourself to get things done, try being disciplined about remaining close to what brings you joy.

This was written a year before Marie Kondo's book came out, nice.

I have to wonder if there's something to adopting a minimalist, fundamentals-focused view on productivity. Too often we're trying to do too much and get nothing done. Maybe remembering what activities spark joy in us is key to productivity. It ties our actions to emotional satisfaction. But the problem is how do we deal when what we have to do or what we want in the long-term is at loggerheads with what we find to be fun, pleasurable, or joyous?

Looks like most of the positions are remote positions in IT hubs in India: https://angel.co/company/neverinstall/jobs

As someone who has lived and worked in those cities, their salary offerings in INR aren't worth considering, especially when:

- The pay is average (poor for a startup even)
- The equity range is 0%-1%?
Disrespectful Design, Part II
I would say this is negligence, but perhaps not extremely so.
I think math can help.

Even if we stole 10B from Bezos and gave it out equally to every US citizen... Its ~$30. Is this life changing for anybody in the US? If so what percent. Most beggars on the street clear more than $30 a day, some make $30 a hour!

So yeah, common core has failed us, and the inability to understand numbers is a problem.

I do this nearly every time somebody is upset somebody else has money. One time it was some Walmart executive. They got some multi million dollar bonus. I did the math, it would have been something like 2.27 a week more for all the employees.

Edit:

But yet we have folks still going around on twitter saying he could give everybody a million (some even a billion) and still have money left over.
I'm a fan of programming languages using := for assignment for this reason
Can you elaborate on how people choose to enjoy content in the privacy of their home amounts to sexism and misogyny? Complaining about men enjoying content that caters to the male gaze seems as pointless as complaining about how romance novels cater to women's tastes. If people want to alter the remastered edition to more closely resemble the original 2010 release of Mass Effect 2, that doesn't strike me as sexist or misogynist at all.

This comment not only fails to demonstrate any sexism or misogyny, but makes me think that the sub has a valid point about inconsistent and unjust denigration of gaming.
When I started working with databases about 20 years ago talking to peers it was common to have a layer in-front of the database so that you could easily replace the database. It felt stupid until I actually had to do a database migration... So do you still put a layer infront of the database so that you can for example easily change from mySQL to Postgress? Given there are so many open source database I think there is less need to do so... Or do you go all in vendor lock in? Or some middle ground?
First, please stop perpetuating this "butt size" thing. The developers of the remaster changed the camera to completely remove it.

Now, you might ask, "Who cares about a butt?". Well, the same question can be reflected at the people who did the censoring. A remaster isn't supposed to do that type of shit. The truth is, the current woke devs censored the original director's creative vision. It's Neo-puritanical "You can't sexualize women in 2021" nonsense. It's censorship plain and simple. and it's all part of the same slippery slope. And by having such a laissez-faire attitude about it, you are encouraging the slippery slope to continue.

And if you want to argue about the original creative vision, then please do some research about the character in question.
> but it hasn't been part of a larger body, so it is not that compressed, so it is not a chunk of another larger body that split off from collisions.

It's way too small to clump from its own gravity, it pretty much has to be a portion of something MUCH larger.
If you use any of the really amazing JSON or Array stuff, you're stepping outside of the standard.. but it's worth it!
So you essentially confirm that GG was born from harassing women, and that lots of people continued harassing women even while people said it was always about ethics in journalism.

No at some point the leftover people at some point had an about face, and said from now on we don't do harassment anymore and it's only about ethics in journalism.

Let's consider this is true, but why on earth would this new "only about ethics in journalism" movement continue to wear the same GG label, and somehow be surprised (and annoyed) that people still associate the movement with harassment and mysogyny?
Original paper: "Development Over Time of the Population-Attributable Risk Fraction for Cannabis Use Disorder in Schizophrenia in Denmark" (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abst...)

"Question Has the population-attributable risk fraction for cannabis use disorder in schizophrenia increased over time, as would be expected with increasing use and potency of cannabis?

"Findings In this Danish nationwide, register-based cohort study, the population-attributable risk fraction for cannabis use disorder in schizophrenia increased from approximately 2% in the period to 1995 to approximately 6% to 8% since 2010.

"Meaning These findings may indicate that cannabis use disorders are associated with an increase in the proportion of cases of schizophrenia.

"* The results from these longitudinal analyses show the proportion of cases of schizophrenia associated with cannabis use disorder has increased 3- to 4-fold during the past 2 decades, which is expected given previously described increases in the use and potency of cannabis. This finding has important ramifications regarding legalization and control of use of cannabis.*"
Hey there, yes that would be OK from our side, though we don't act as an escrow or custody funds.

Given the above, you'll definitely want to keep in mind the high chargeback rates for in-game goods/currencies and put (additional) appropriate measures in place to negate those.
Terrific link, thanks. So many memories. So many surprises; mfg and models I hadn't heard of.

These vintage computers always remind me of the accompanying printers. Daisy well, dot matrix, line printers... There's probably catalogs of those as well.

Ah, nostalgia.
No I don't. The restarts are fucking infuriating but, at least in my case, they've never been catastrophic. My computer is usually running all the time but when I finish working on some thing I always ^S everything and usually `git push --all; git push --tags`.
I'm sorry, I know I'm being dense, but I don't vocalize when I read, even quietly. Are you suggesting that reading out loud is a technique you use to pay attention better, or do you mean it metaphorically?
That's skeezy as hell. This is definitely not common practice and I would consider it a huge red flag. I'd probably walk away myself, but if you're really into the job, I'd say don't accept the offer unless you can talk to someone higher up the chain and find out how endemic this type of dumbfuckery is in the company.
Nailed it. The US is only concerned with imperialism and maintaining a stranglehold in the region. Syria was meant to be Libya Part 2: Electric Boogaloo, but it was just a royal mess from the beginning.
True. But it is only a denial of your email service. Allowing it to leak over to other services is not good.
The fact that Diablo 3 needed to be "fixed" supports the narrative. Also the fact that executives didn't realize it had been fixed and cancelled the 2nd Diablo 3 expansion. The Warcraft III remaster was a disaster. Three out of the last four World of Warcraft expansions have been poorly received. There does seem to be a pattern of decline.
Thank you! If you have any feedback on how we can improve, I'd love to hear it :)
Yeah it has nothing to do with type coercion. I'm baffled a linter doesn't catch this though. & for bools should just be prohibited altogether. If people really want & for bool, they can just cast to an integer type and use & with that (which generates its own warnings appropriately).
This is an incredibly important fact that is often downplayed.

We remember the Inquisition and the Vikings but they are small fry compared to Communists (and Nazis).

I'm not saying Communists are inherently evil - most of them are well meaning I think - but almost every single time it has been tried it has ended in genocide!

The one single exception I am aware of is the Israeli Kibbutz system.

Edit: communism has killed more people than nazism, probably because most people realize nazism is more or less pure evil while communism looks nice (edit:) on paper.
For non-native English speakers, spook is vernacular for government intelligence agent (spy).
Yes, it may be illegal, in civil court. It's the tort of "public disclosure of private facts". Under California law, the public disclosure of private facts is defined as (1) a public disclosure of (2) private facts about an individual (3) that would offend the average person, that (4) was not of legitimate public concern; and (5) where defendant published private facts with reckless disregard for their truth or falsity.

You could sue for compensatory damages: Loss of reputation, shame and hurt feelings, damage to the plaintiff’s trade or occupation, or loss of business income resulting from the disclosure.

The article seemed unclear to me as to whether they were tracking the priests through their location data (maybe filtering on users who spent 8+ hours in churches) or if they were just filtering on known priests' names and ages.

Either way, I think you're right - nothing in here seems explicitly illegal.
Agreed. The fuck-your-work-restart behavior is infuriating.
The Argument Against Quantum Computers
The worst part about a lesson like this is that it can take years to really get to this conclusion. I'm trying to ask myself "who is the buyer of this product". This is happening a lot in digital health where the payor isn't the end user.

An 'eggcorn' that always makes my eye twitch is 'bunker down'.

To hunker down is to take a squat or crouch down on your heels. If I recall correctly, it comes from a similar root as 'haunches'.

'Bunker down' makes sense as an eggcorn, but I find it much less romantic somehow.
> "Everyone here is young and they were worried you're too old."

This is a really weird complaint to me. Maybe I was just always an old curmudgeon, but when I was a naive young computer boy I got along great with the old guys I worked with. Plus they have accumulated wisdom. Maybe disrespect for accumulated wisdom is one of the reasons software sucks so bad these days. Damned kids...
> You'd need to touch all live data to copy it forward

This is already happening as a natural part of the utilization patterns. Just looking at something in a splay tree will cause it to be relocated to the root (the most live part of the log). That is the dynamic part of the data structure. You are doing a huge part of the GC effort simply by reading the database.

There are clearly applications where this would not be a good fit (i.e. data warehousing where you want to keep old shit on purpose). Even with the natural cleanup mechanism, you may still need to save stuff you haven't accessed in a while. Linked list nodes built on top being an example of an area that would need careful attention to avoid chopping up data structures unexpectedly.

>That'd have horrific write amplification.

This is precisely why I recommend batching as part of the approach in my original post above. With batching, you can take a total rewrite of all nodes in a linked list and squeeze them into a single I/O operation that flows into exactly the # of storage blocks required. In implementations without batching, you are talking about block I/O per linked list node that needs updating. Clearly this is a total non-starter for drive lifetime & performance.
Ohmuhgawd, this is so bizzare. That cable is not free, and wasting that much of it was surely to get noticed, wouldn't it? Questions, so many questions. Was this a contractor sticking to the man by wasting all of that cable? Was it someone trying to earn points for how much cable they "installed" that month? Wouldn't it be more financially beneficial to cut the cable as normal, and then sell of the spool to a scrapper or other used cable place? Was this a team of people that all agreed this would be a bad idea?

So sounds like a movie plot
So first sentence is:

"MySQL, an open source database developed by Oracle, powers some of Facebook’s most important workloads. "

Oracle didn't develop MySQL, they bought it... Am I nit-picky here, opinions?

Otherwise, congrats on shipping!
We give the customers a heads up to contact the seller when they get blocked, so it'll be as easy as telling them that they need to disable their VPN/proxy in order to make the purchase.

Although, it'd make more sense if we tell them that and save you the time to reply to a few customer support tickets. Will add it to our roadmap :)
Sounds like a reason not to embrace homophobia as policy. So it shouldn't matter if intelligence agencies get this info -- being gay in the military or government is fine.
What part of obesity is not well understood?

Societies with easy access to calories and sugar/carbs/sat fats and reduction in movement and increase in sitting have more obesity, right?
meh .. my friend and i started what is now a multi million dollar company over the past 15 years and we smoke weed everyday .. we smoke at work , just only after 5 .. no one is pushing me out into a street cause i smoke pot , quite the opposite actually.
Agreed. Seems like the motivation was probably to make the candidate more willing to accept their offer as is without trying to negotiate.

The recruiter probably (rightly) thinks people who really want a job, think they lost it, then unexpectedly get the job offer back will be less likely to risk having the offer pulled because they negotiate too hard for a higher salary, remote work options, etc.
Grindr has also been used by oppressive regimes to find and imprison gay people:
https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2020/10/02/egypt-police-lgbt-dati...

Add that to 3rd party apps that can find your exact location (https://www.engadget.com/2018-09-15-grindr-location-info.htm...) and Grindr becomes a dangerous weapon against LGBT people.
You said that owing interest somehow implies "backpressure" in a way that zero interest loans don't. But the phenomenon you describe in this follow-up comment applies just as clearly to zero-interest loans: spending X pesos now means you forfeit X pesos later. The only difference is that, with non-zero-interest loans, you forfeit (X+I) pesos later, which requires an implicit calculation of whether time-shifting your spending is worth losing _I_ pesos.
Disinformation: It’s History
Really? There are multi-billion dollar industries catering to the obesity issue - health food, supplements, exercise equipment, exercise gurus.
Employers offering incentives since it leads to lower insurance costs.
In the USA, health food options have grown tremendously in the last 10 years, but at the same time obesity has gone up.
The code is:

key_data.has_value() && !key_data_->label().empty()

key_data is probably something like an std::optional, so short-circuit evaluation guards the dereferencing of the optional. If you write this with a binary and, no short-circuit evaluation can happen, so undefined behavior ensues.

I wanna point out that std::optional, in the typical C++ stance, has a "I know what I'm doing" API and a "Humans make mistakes API": optional->... is UB if the optional is empty, optional.value()... raises an exception. Arguably, in code like this you probably only want to use the latter kind of API. (The pattern of "operator can UB, equivalent method asserts pre-condition" is very common in the C++ standard library)
"Are you arguing knowing nothing is better than knowing something?"

No one is saying that. That is a gross misinterpretation of my statements.

"The point is to create a range in which both current and prospective employees can refer to."

A range based on what? The point being discussed here is equal pay. Ranges dont help if you have all the women at the low end and the men at the high end, hypothetically. If you just want to post salary ranges by position you can do that without publishing individual salaries.
sounds like their java strategy until recently
Seems like the fire department would be the one signing off on permits and they would probably be the ones overseeing that same prescribed burn. If you can get permits all over the state to have huge fireworks shows during fire season, I don't see why they couldn't do prescribed burns.
The difference is your example uses bool values, the code in question uses expressions that (should) evaluate to bool. && is short-circuited if a is false, such that b is not evaluated.
For the past years I'm on and off fighting the urge not to buy an Altair 8800 clone.

The C64 was my first, and I'm still using the platform, but I've moved to the ultimate64 fpga implementation.

Other than that, I really want an Olivetti M24SP with amber monochrome screen, because that was the first computer I owned as a kid.
> Essentially, everything here has been legal.

That’s the problem!
I’ll care when women worry about misandry.

But insisting I care while women engage in illegal sexism for their own benefit is an abusive, one-sided relationship.

Study after study confirms that women are preferentially hired and receive privilege in education. Study after study shows women dominated fields like HR and education are incredibly sexist. Women are allowed to organize on the basis of sex for more sexist privilege at most universities and businesses. Ask any man who has worked in a majority female department if lewd comments, inappropriate pictures, etc happen there.

When women do their part to end sexism, I’ll care.

Until then, it’s just entitled whining.
> type of error even being possible

I mean its still possible to forget the ":" character and its still possible to mentally scan a PR and see "=" and miss that it should have been a "==".
You can but mixing both thoughts at once is kinda weird.

In this case they're kinda pulling in different directions and ... I dunno probably best to just stick to one topic as far as a press release goes.
It makes perfect sense to anybody who has contributed to personal projects. At work there is an institutionally locked velocity for a variety of reasons. Some of these reasons are highly qualified, some are accidental, and some are completely nonsense.

With personal projects you set your own velocity. Output is the result of initiative, time spent, speed of delivery, competence in product development, and expertise on the problem.
Nice work! I’m also in the process of working on a checkout app + API, but focused more on the payment processing side of things and targeting the North African market.

I’m still in the very early stages, but I’ve been prototyping the checkout page and we seem to have both chosen a yellow Tailwind theme haha! I won’t be sticking to that, but I just thought it was a funny coincidence.
Pretty standard study that showing two things are correlated. The THC/CBD chart is misleading because none of the data is actually used to form the conclusions.

The interesting thing is the "Use of Marijuana to Self-Medicate BD" study is useless. Monitoring a small number of bipolar people for 6 days will give you completely random results. It's too short a period to remove moods from the equation.
You are right, AstraZeneca is an effective vaccine against COVID-19, but the extremely low instances of blood clotting have caused our regulatory bodies to limit its use to the over 60s.

If you’re younger you can (and are highly encouraged to) speak with your health professional and still obtain it.
If you agree agree with the GP that people should be paid based on their negotiating skills, then you also support paying people regardless of their performance. Those are two mutually exclusive criteria.
1) Maybe this is of legitimate public concern?

2) The last point - which must be present, thanks to the word “and” - seems to imply that publishing facts you have good reason to believe are true would be excluded.
This is one of those times when, for all its verbosity, Ada got it right. For boolean conjunction you must choose between writing "A and B", or "A and then B". The "and then" version is short circuiting, while the bare "and" version is not.
Yeah, I'd have zero trust in the recruiter at this point and want to work out details directly w the hiring manager or HR.
Engineering process is still engineering in my book, but if it helps:

Firing happens when you have a history of performing below your level. Never for a single process failure.
I wanted to follow two people who are not super-famous. They have written blog articles and been interviewed on podcasts. But I could not find them in your search.

The folks who you recommend are pretty famous, so their stuff comes across my Twitter feed from multiple sources anyway.

Retirees running out of money because the economy is crashing doesn't really match up with "they'll just go back to work".

People might stop having kids too, then there will be no new workers entering the work force eventually if lifespan was extended indefinitely.
The problem is not even with "easy to mix up operators" for this, it's about languages without a strong and static enough type system. While the particular problem Google hit is a bit more subtle (involving undefined behavior), in the majority of cases a strongly typed language would not allow expressions that accidentally mix up = and ==, as they often resolve to different types.

In C "if (foo = bar)" and "if (foo == bar)" are both legal, because pretty much any type can be automatically coerced into a boolean. In many modern languages that is not the case. (Of course if you have assignments as expressions you are still screwed if foo and bar are both boolean to begin with, so some languages got away with that, too. And for fairness I should say that C at the very least warns if you don't explicitly put parentheses around the assignment, nowadays.)
misogyny in tech is an innate, intractable problem that is literally impossible to solve? why would any woman work with any nonzero number of men in tech, then? I changed my career trajectory when I realized the video game industry wasn't a fit for me in terms of politics, work-family balance, and (to a lesser extent) religion... if this problem is truly unsolvable and endemic to software development, shouldn't women, looking out for their best interests, pursue other fields of work?

(note that I don't actually believe this supposition, I'm just following it to the logical conclusion.)
Or those who prefer not to (for whatever reason) may be categorized in a way similar to the way we treat the suicidal. Anyone unwilling to attempt to live forever would be considered mentally ill.
