If it were a deliberate tradeoff they'd all be like that, but apparently 1 in 10 is fine - the panels fit together, the paint was done properly, etc. It seems common practice to order a Tesla, reject 3 cars because they were assembled / painted by drunks, then eventually accept one with what you hope are ignorable faults.
I could imagine that you're building up the array in go code and want the empty set to be handled as expected.
For what it's worth, I have no degree at all, and that didn't preclude Microsoft from hiring me - nor have I ever been discriminated or disparaged for this reason in the decade since. So it might be something that varies from company to company. I wouldn't be surprised that Google, in particular, has these attitudes, as they're known to be picky about degrees when hiring.
Good to know - I’ll give it another run when I have more time later this week.

As far as I'm aware, this is the first major "hostile" fork AWS has done. In fact, it's probably one of the largest ones overall. It will be really interesting to see how this plays out in the long run.
Actually secure software might cost trillions yet would look the same as what we have now. It's just too hard to swallow.

> CoreOS timed their Rocket announcement for the moment at which the Docker team was airborne en route to DockerCon Europe 2014

Would that be the conference where Jessie Frazelle wore this telling gem of a troll badge? [0] If so, the parent article [1] says it was 2015.

I was actually present at CoreOS during this period, and played a significant role in the early rkt releases. There's no prominent memory of timing the announcement to coincide with Docker people being on a plane, I think we were just rushing to get it out by dockercon and the en route thing is a coincidence. Rkt didn't just appear out of nowhere overnight, we had to build it and making something like that actually work reliably as a standalone executable without installing a daemon on arbitrary distros is a bit of a chore.

I like this design! Asking the database to tell you the schema of your result does seem like the simplest, most reliable option.

However it does require you to have a running database as part of your build process; normally you'd only need the database to run integration tests. Doable, but a bit painful.
That would make replacing them that much harder.

Most languages have a way to avoid SQL injection attacks, and linters that enforce usage of that.

For bad workplaces just using an ORM is a lot safer though, I agree. Performance can quickly become an issue when people stop thinking entirely about the DB level operations happening, and this comes up much quicker at workplaces where not enough people care.
What about reducing your profit margins? Why is it "pass it to the consumer" all the time? What about slowing down salary increases for people _not_ making minimum wage? "Costs get passed to consumer" seems to happen way more than "savings get passed to consumer" in the discourse.

When you have someone at HQ making 5 times what your lowest-earning person makes, you could let go of that person, increase wages for 25 people by 20%, and probably improve a hell of a lot of stuff. And that's cost-neutral!
DT fusion looks bad even if you totally ignore anything related to plasma physics or magnetic fields. Simply handling the heat flow and neutrons from the reactor looks to make the reactor too big to compete, compared to fission reactors.

And then you have the problem of having to stick sophisticated stuff in the hot zone where hands-on maintenance is impossible (compared to a fission reactor, where just the fuel and relatively simple hardware is in that zone.)
Certainly my recollection is that containers didn't enter the zeitgeist until Docker came around. LXC and OpenVZ had existed for years before Docker, and Jails/Zones had existed in BSD/Solaris for years before that. Mentioning the long-standing existence of these tools was a favorite pastime of Docker detractors in the early days.

Really, Docker's innovation wasn't the ability to run processes in a container (as mentioned before, that technology had existed for years already); it was the Dockerfile and the Docker hub/container registry. Prior to Docker, the way you'd build a container was by running debootstrap or unpacking a tarball/zip file of a root image. Take a look at https://developer.ibm.com/tutorials/l-lxc-containers/ . As far as I recall, there was no LXC equivalent to `docker build` or the registry except maybe wiring up Packer or home-grown shell script and throwing a tarball in S3 or something.
We are running a global experiment ideally suited to evolving more contagious and deadly strains.

[edited] It’s not that social distancing is a problem in the short term, it’s just we kept adjusting it as he’d immunity crept up so only the most infectious strains could survive. Lucky Delta isn’t significantly more deadly than the initial strain, but that mostly comes down to luck.

It’s probably going to be ok, but assuming it stays equally as deadly over time is perhaps optimistic.

ITER is a victim of a process seen frequently in large public-works projects, but particularly those where no one understands what anything really should cost, and where there is no practical deadline for completion. It is worst when there is no expected utility when it is done.

We see it lately in the numerous military procurements (particularly the F-35 program), in NASA's SLS rocket, in California's bullet train to nowhere, and urban tunnels such as New York's 2nd Avenue subway extension. It is why nuke plants are invariably so expensive and late.

In a word, corruption.

Lately, this corruption has been arranged to be wholly legal, so there is no possibility of prosecution. The majority of the money spent is funneled into myriad private pockets without moving the project toward completion. Nobody involved, at the monetary level, has any desire for it ever to be completed, because that is when the gravy train stops.

Fusion projects represent the worst case of this phenomenon. Nobody knows what it should cost, and nobody in control of spending wants it over with, ever.

The chance that anything of any practical use could come out at the end was openly foreclosed before it ever started: it was never promised to produce any electrical power, and no turbines, or space for any, appear in any site plan.

Any sort of practically useful Tokamak plant would need to be overwhelmingly bigger and more expensive than ITER, and could never come anywhere near producing commercially competitive power, so the project is a known dead end, to be milked until it is finally cancelled in shame.

What is tragic is that each euro diverted to this boondoggle brings climate disaster terrifyingly closer.

If you want a code generator like this that has support for that kind of thing, https://github.com/opendoor/pggen can automatically infer these kinds of relationships based on foreign key relationships and emit slices of pointers to connect the records together in memory. It can even figure out 1-1 relationships if there is a UNIQUE index on the foreign key. There is a little mini-DSL for specifying exactly how much of the transitive closure of a given record you want to get filled in for you.

> Whatever the cause, my Internet experience used to be so much about connecting and communicating with people

Maybe as we get older, we realize that whatever it was we were doing on social media, it wasn't actually connecting with people. Whatever these companies' mission statements say about "building community" and "bringing the world closer together" and "connecting people," it's not actually what their products are doing, and people are finally wising up and realizing this.

I haven't been on social media for probably a decade. I'm no less "connected" to my family or community or events than someone who is on it. It's not really doing what they claim it's doing.

Two problems

1. How do you handle versioning? Like if you want to try a development branch on a non-branch/shared db. Creating different version of stored procedures creates a recursive problem. A calls B, now A’ has to call B’

2. Sometimes we still need to programmatically decide to include a table in the join or not or get creative on a filter. Pl/pgsql is less flexible in this regard. You get the benefit of syntax checking only when query is verbatim and not dynamically constructed.
The anti-estate tax lobby has masterfully branded it a death tax implying that it’s a tax when you die. There’s a huge tax waiver in the form of stepped up cost basis - capital gains tax is calculated using the share value when inherited not on grandpa’s purchase price.

"Radiation" sounds more unique than "explosion" to me (not an evolutionary biologist). It sounds like it means there was some unusual atomic radiation causing mutations at that time, so I think it will lead to more misunderstanding by laypeople rather than less. Why did they decide not to have multiple "explosions"?

If you don't stop, cops will happily chase you in violation of department policy, endangering innocent bystanders[1], then shoot you when you are running away. If you happen to get away the next step is sending a paramilitary team to your house to shoot your dog and throw a flashbang in your baby's crib.

>Cops don't have to use violence to solve all their problems.

They don't have to, but its usually the first resort. There's literally thousands of hours of videos online of cops knowingly making illegal 'requests' on video and threatening arrest for noncompliance.

Also, it’s a multi-national government funded program that was never intended to return a profit.

So there’s very little incentive to constrain costs.
Yeah, some might describe it as something more like "drawing it out as long as possible", from what I've observed of some people in their last days/weeks/months.
The budget overruns are the whole point of the project. Any sort of apparent science or engineering goal is a smokescreen.
> - If you don't have literally $1M in assets you get taxed zero

Oh it's much, much worse than that. The Trump tax "cuts" actually doubled the Federal estate tax thresholds to ~$11m for a singled person and ~$22m for married couples.

> - If you live in the home it is exempted

So I actually have a bit of a problem with this because generally real estate passes to beneficiaries of the estate on a stepped up basis. The idea is for children not to be saddled with a huge tax debt but there has to be limits to this.

> ... amazing failure of describing how a thing works

I see it from the somewhat opposite view and that is that conservatives in the US at least are so easily manipulated to the point where a seemingly large portion of them now believe democracy isn't working for them and you see this bubbling over at incidents like the attempted insurrection of Jan 6.

It's downright ironic that the reddest states are actually the most Federally dependent and the democracy that supposedly isn't working for them is a system that gives such states political power far in excess of their population such that a political party can in many places hold power with ~40% of the vote.
It still need a lot of the (same) support infrastructure. Plus ARC will be bigger than SPARC.

No where did I make this assumption, or was I alluding that this may be the case. Even in stats you can see cyclic patterns, with case counts and even with Empl-Pop ratio used in the article.

"But the family members making that choice weren't footing the bill"

That appears to be the crux of the problem: "footing the bill". It may sound counter intuitive but I have found that when cost is removed from the equation, then better decisions may arise or at least a few extra distortions are removed.

When money is directly involved then there are several potential, and in my view damaging, extra approaches that might arise. There's the: "we've spent so much and achieved [something] so let's go all in." Or "we've only spent this much so let's go for gold" Or: "We are paying for this anyway and so let's give it a go".

Health care systems that are funded by taxation ie pre-paid, in my view, escape those problems and encourage end of life scenarios that are more likely to be better (for a given value of better)

I think that I am very lucky to have the UK's NHS to care for me. We pay for it nominally via a second income related tax called "National Insurance" - we also have a country wide "Income Tax". The NI rate is: https://www.gov.uk/national-insurance/how-much-you-pay - nominally 12% but is only levied on the first £x. It gets a bit complicated because employers also pay NI for their employees.

The thing about an organisation like the National Health Service is that if you have one and you get hurt, you get it fixed without thinking about it too much. We do pay quite a lot for it but it works and the cost is not so noticeable compared to Income Tax. My dad had a few heart related snags a few years ago that involved a three week stay in Exeter General, then a helicopter flight to London and a six month stay in the Royal Brompton, mostly in their intensive care unit (ICU) which would have been horrendously expensive. One of the docs described how he massaged my Dad's heart in his hands when the bloody thing decided to get a bit weary of being fiddled with too much.

The UK's NHS is not perfect or anywhere near perfect. It's a whopping great organisation with some good and some not so good staff and some horrendous bureaucracy. That said, I would prefer it to any other medical system. It works eventually and often works surprisingly well and often preemptively. Dad would be dead without it. Dad's GP practice missed a few clues. When his doc went on holiday, a Hospital Registrar (as it turns out) was drafted in to cover. Dad presented and his feet didn't touch the floor until he was in a hospital bed.

Again, I have to emphasise that the UK's NHS is not perfect but I don't worry about what to do if my arm fell off or something. I get to A&E and they fix me up.

I have also been at the far end of palliative care (Mum). Again the NHS did the business and did its best (cancer) but it had to accept defeat. That's when Hospice Care cuts in alongside the NHS. St Margarets were absolutely fantastic.

In the end it is taxation that pays for this thing but the fact that you can forget about money when dealing with health care issues is quite important, I think.
Cool solution!
When executive compensation has sky-rocketed over the past few decades it's disingenuous to say there is no place to make cuts to avoid raising prices.

I think the bubble is shearing perhaps. The top wages for SWEs in many markets seem to be going up and substantially so, while the wages for the broad middle of the market in globally high-cost locations aren’t going up and, as you observe, are at risk of falling as/if WFH-driven globalization accelerates.
Don't be so quick to decide this now -- consider your options at the time, if such a thing arises. It may not be so cut & dry as "terminal" and there's a huge amount of variability in how cancer diagnoses go. In the meantime, take the best care of your body you possibly can :)
Cold plasma could transform the sustainable farms of the future
This is complete hearsay but I was sat next to a engineer working on the project on a recent flight. He mentioned to me that 1.) it would be delayed past October till December, and probably early into next year, and 2.) COVID, like any good excuse, was being used because it was there and not necessarily because it caused the delays.

Maybe the engineer was just telling a story with a bit of flair but I believed him.
There are number of marginally useful anti-covid measures. A characteristic of the US public discourse is that some of these measures are ridiculous if not malevolent, while others are worth their weight in gold. The key of decoding which is which is the political beliefs of the reader.

They were introduced because the existing school system was in decline. The fact that they haven’t reversed the trend doesn’t mean they are the underlying cause.

If my house and kids’ college were paid off, I’d happily program for half of the prevailing wages for SWEs in the US. I do it for fun on the side anyway; if you want me to work on your puzzles, you have to pay me, but we’ll both end up happy when you do.
I'm a founder at a company that supplies top of the funnel recruiting automation software that is used mostly in high volume recruiting. We've spend the last year moving people out of restaurant and bad retail jobs (there are still some good players there) to much better paying jobs. Everything from logistics, to tech, to healthcare.

This labor shortage is really not a shortage, it's an overabundance of business that were relying on the availability of underpaid labor to make profits.

Restaurants and retail are really the poster-children for this. Everything from re-shoring of manufacturing, the rise of the gig economy, to the shift to ecommerce have created a ton of much better paying jobs. This trend started in 2016, and by 2019 was in full force. When COVID hit the extended benefits reduced the supply of labor.

I'm really happy to see working-class people start to get paid better. It's really the best for everyone. Now we just need to figure out how to get less money spent on buildings and more on teachers and we might just be on to something.
On what do you base this conclusion?
> This crowd has largely driven the COVID response as well - which went well past "flatten the curve" and turned into "stop all deaths no matter the cost", ignoring all externalities and consequences along the way.

The US has the world's highest COVID-19 death count, and is #24 out of 223 per capita with just a smidge under 2,000 deaths per million people.

If you think that's "stop[ping] all deaths no matter the cost" I'd love to hear what you think of my state of 1.8 million people with a grand total of 4 deaths.
Remember that in this story, as strange as this is to say, Amazon is the good guy. Elastic changed their products from a FOSS license to a proprietary one, and Amazon did exactly what you're supposed to do in that case: fork and continue development of the last FOSS version.
Why do you presume to know why they made that decision?

Also why do you think that it's entirely about gender equality when the younger generations have grown up in an era where wages have stagnated and few families can get by on a single income?

I have a lot more sympathy for the view that traditional gender roles have wisdom as I've had kids of my own, but it really seems like you are over-indexing on it which is especially offensive coming from a man who has historically benefited from the set up.
