At Tiqets we have a different repo with SQL migrations using Flyway... ITs as simply as branching that repo, creating your migration. Getting the pipeline green and merging it back.

All migrations are automatically executed on production, pre-tested. Reviewed. No DB Administrator, No deployment together with the app.

It works quite well..

However, personally I really like not having to deal with schema changes. For example Firebase or Cloud DataStore is really nice... Its the best for developers, but not for data integrity.
It's serious to you, but CSAM scanning is irrelevant to 99.99999% of Apple's customers, and Jobs would never have allowed an announcement about migrating CSAM scanning from uploads to the cloud to the device uploading to the cloud. That's an implementation detail that wouldn't be relevant to discuss with outsiders. Instead, I expect he would have presented it in a closed session to the FBI and/or Congress. Never to the press, not like this.

Managers who know what they are doing are typically a lot more expensive than software engineers who know what they are doing. So the only reasonable way to outsource software engineering is to also outsource the corresponding management, and management don't want to do that.
Honestly the reason why I’m so depressed/sometimes suicidal is because I’m part of a FANG that everyone considers to be stupid and poor. I wish people ever had given me any validation.

OPs fixation on IQ to denigrate their coworkers is pretty scummy though.
There are people who believe the Earth is flat and that Donald Trump won the 2020 election. Of course there are people who believe social security numbers are the mark of the beast. You can find dozens of conspiracy theorists making that claim with a simple Internet search. It's not even a rare conspiracy theory.
You guys have really lost your minds on here.
This is absolutely a concern I have heard my entire life from many people in rural Colorado, and they are all dead serious about it.
>Can we please have this in the US?

Absolutely not. How about not requiring an ID? There are plenty of carriers here that don't do that.
The problem is you can't easily change your SSN. Recently I got a new state id and reported it as lost. They sent me a new license and it has the same DL number and everything. Why can't we rotate things? Is it a slow convergence thing into other systems or something? It's really concerning.
The point of my comment was to sarcastically point out there there are very qualified people sitting in decision making positions with an incentive to lower labor costs.

It is possible they are making a mistake and completely missing a great money saving opportunity, but I would not bet on it.

There very well could be new opportunities for labor arbitrage that can be taken advantage of by many businesses, and if so, it will be evidenced by the success of companies that take advantage of it. But it might take some time.

But it is not a new idea, and is certainly one that has already been tried, and so if certain companies are not taking advantage of lower labor costs elsewhere, then it is prudent to assume there is a good reason.

Interesting. This is JSON++ somehow. What should it be called? Line-oriented JSON? Row-JSON?
Who knows, but it might be that no credit card numbers were stolen.

If you want to accept credit card payments, the industry requires PCI compliance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payment_Card_Industry_Data_Sec...), which actually does involve taking substantial steps to protect those card numbers. An outside organization does some amount of validation that you're handling the card numbers in a reasonable way.

There's a difference here, which is that if personal details like names, date of birth, and driver's license are leaked, it affects individuals' interests. But if card numbers are leaked, it affects the interests of huge corporations.

Those corporations have the resources and power to get involved and protect their interests in a way that consumers don't.

Lack of types is my biggest gripe with CSV. I think just being able to specify types in column headers would be a win. E.g. “column1:int,column2:string,column3:datetime”. Type inference has bit me too many times.

When you’re working with someone on a project, you get lots of datapoints, some of which are pretty close to a direct measurement of m (not y, but m directly).

When the team is discussing something, are they following along, contributing, remembering and integrating what they were exposed to last week? Or are you telling them for the third week in a row the exact same thing?

This is not anything like “once a year tell HR your estimate of the current y value and HR will use Excel to calculate the slope”.
Yeah - I used to lead a department that would process somewhere around 10TB of CSV formatted data per day.

The edge cases are a hassle but they don't become less of a hassle from a business perspective by switching to json or really any other format. We tried an experiment of using more json and eventually gave it up because it wasn't saving any time at a holistic level because the "data schema" conversations massively dominated the entirety of the development and testing time.

Obviously being able to jam out some json helped quite a bit initially, but then on the QA side we started to run in to problems with tooling not really being designed to handle massive json files. Basically, when something was invalid (such as the first time we encountered an invalid quote) it was not enjoyable to figure out where that was in a 15GB file.

That said, I fully concur with the general premise that CSV doesn't let you encode the solutions to these problems, which really really sucks. But, to solve that, we would output to a more columnar storage format like Parquet or something. This would let us fully encode and manage the data how we wanted while letting our clients continue working their processes.

What I would really like to see is a file format where the validity of the file could be established by only using the header. E.g. I could validate that all the values in a specific column were integers without having to read them all.

A method that works wonders is to unpack exactly what has to be done in July and why. That involves gathering information about the business.

Just as a good estimate requires some modelling, so does a good requirement. By July they might not need an overhaul of the whole billing system, but there might be a few small things that would have a huge impact that could be done. Maybe you can deliver 60% of the functionality in June and another 30% in August.

My experience is that this kind of thinking plays well with upper management, C-level kinds of people. That is, they make trade-offs on this level all the time and are glad to be engaged in this way. In fact, if everybody thought this way, the company wouldn't have any problems.

My experience also is that some middle-managers are highly offended by this approach for reasons I can't understand, other than they feel like they've lost control. It seems like a small price to pay for "getting things done" for the business, but they don't like to get bypassed.

this comment seeded an interesting idea! Many artists and photographers want to get into the NFT space but they don't necessarily have experience in digital art creation.

If you could leverage AI to generate digital art based on real artist/photographer inputs, perhaps you could create a nice little marketplace business.. or maybe just a simple AI generator plugin for an existing marketplace..

The RealSense modules were almost 1/2 the price of the cameras. The D450 module was a great price at $125 each with 3 global shutter cameras. The L515 Lidar was really accurate.

Personally, migrations have never been painful enough to warrant this sort of product. The idea of branching databases on the other hand is really cool. Is each branch a full copy? Seems like that would lead to huge storage needs for larger databases.
If the spoon was one of those spoons with holes in the, non-handle-part, then I think it would have to produce a discontinuity.

But for a normal spoon shape, I don’t think dipping it in makes the map between points in the water fail to be continuous.
I’m somewhat confident that there is a smooth path from an embedding of a cylinder to R^3 to an embedding of a cylinder which is a little taller and has a spoon shape removed from it, into R^3 .
Exactly right. It seems based on the unrealistic assumption that someone will have a long-enough tenure at your company for the two lines to cross. It is far more likely that they will jump ship for a better baseline assumption (and the base salary that goes with it) than that they will stick around for you to see the two lines cross.

When discussing lifelong learning and skill growth it is also worth being honest in the description of the lines. Few have a constant upward slope, they usually plateau for a bit and can even turn negative if you get stuck in an obsolete skill set. Just because someone's 'slope' looks positive now does not mean that will continue.
What you’re describing is possible even if you didn’t receive anything.

> uptake in the over-80s group ... is well in excess of 99%.

I am not sure N_vaccinated_over_80/N_total is germane to the issue.

>> out of 515 patients currently hospitalized with severe cases in Israel, 301 (58.4%) of these cases were fully vaccinated

That means, there are 214 hospitalized with severe cases of Covid19 who are not vaccinated. What matters is why those 214 people were not vaccinated. I am not sure any hints in that direction are available. According to the charts here[1], there is some indication that indeed the severe/unvaccinated combination is related to age but the data are presented in n/100K which means I would have to look up a bunch of numbers I do not know where to find to be able to impute something.

I’m curious how many journalists are on the list. Now that we are pulling out of Afghanistan, we should reevaluate the other actions we took after 9/11. The patriot act deserves another look and possible edit.
The issue is that the multi-wavelength combined image doesn't correspond to RGB like the RAW output of DSLR or smartphone camera.

The different bands received from spacecraft, rovers and (space-)telescopes are matched with red, green and blue, even though they're actually taken in near infrared, UV, or even X-ray spectra.

The "truth" is that the images are only monochrome representations of recorded photons of different energies. Most people don't see near UV light for example and some images are taken in very narrow bands and then "stretched" into "full" RGB, etc.

The point is that the recorded data doesn't correspond to the human vision apparatus (or at least not well) an thus any multi-colour representations are necessarily fabricated and sometimes don't even try to reflect what a human would have seen.
It seems like a stretch to predict that workers will end up destitute because of wages being too high.

I'm a huge fan of lifelong learning, and overall agree with this post. But, from a hiring perspective, it is missing a few important details:

1. Sometimes you have things that need to be achieved in a time-sensitive fashion, i.e. the time to ramp up may be problematic, and "taking a chance" may have real business ramifications.

2. Even if you don't have anything urgent, naturally there should be some discount factor for future utility (due to intrinsic uncertainty, etc.) - it's still positive, but remember "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."

3. Learning is not a clean linear process, and is also hard to really suss out in a few interviews - I still absolutely look for it in people I hire, but it's pretty easy to claim you take a few MOOCs and harder to know if you really engage with new ideas on a regular basis.

Again, I still very much agree with the spirit and substance of the post, but hiring is complicated, and as with most complicated things there are multiple considerations to balance.
It always amuses me that Postman's branding is all space themed.

Wikipedia says the no fly list only had 47k people on it. The terror watch list had about 1.9M though, so this must be the terror watch list.

1.9M people is a massive number of people

Thanks! We're planning to build webhooks in a similar way to the way that GitLab/GitHub are doing it. For the formal events (new change, new review, new workspace created, etc) we'll build something similar to the API of others, to make it easy for tools that are already interfacing with the Hub's to integrate with Sturdy. The real-time aspects of Sturdy will also have webhooks, to make it possible to write your integrations and tooling on events such as new files created, or file edits.

I believe that webhooks and great public APIs are important to have in all dev-tools products. I have created countless scripts and tools to connect many different pieces of my workflow, so I'm excited to see what others will build once we release our public API!

> It can be, but what's ensuring that format when you read in a JSON file?

What's ensuring the format of data in a CSV file?

Format comes from the same place it comes from for CSV. It's part of whatever data contract you are making with whatever system is providing the data. If someone shoves YAML into a Json file you've got problems, just like you have problems if someone starts talking about cars when you expected a file about airplanes.

At some point, you've got to turn file data into application data regardless of format. CSV offers no help in shaping the data and has a bunch of footguns to boot.

> JSON is one of the formats Pandas can read, but it has to be structured in a format the python library can read in as tabular data.

Pandas is highly flexible in it's ability to read in Json data, What I showed would be trivially loadable by Pandas, so would other formats (including more traditional JSON data).

Turning structured data into tabular data is trivial. What isn't trivial is turning tabular data into structured data.
Agreed. It wouldn't be so hard if things were linear.
