I haven't used that, yet. But this has me confused:

"An automatically updatable view may contain a mix of updatable and non-updatable columns. A column is updatable if it is a simple reference to an updatable column of the underlying base relation; otherwise the column is read-only, and an error will be raised if an INSERT or UPDATE statement attempts to assign a value to it."

Isn't splitting full_name into two columns a complex reference (for lack of a better word)?

Hm, not sure. This is a kind of side effect you wouldn't expect and would easily overlook. A proper, very long Stage 3 trial could definitely miss it. Generally women's health issues are often overlooked, especially one that is quite mild. That's why we have Phase 4 trials, amongst other things.

This one is especially difficult to pin down because it's a one off. It's not at all evident that longer phase 3 trials would have caught an event that happens at most a month after vaccination.

Check out the link, it also has color coded maps for first aid kit, fire extinguishers and high-vis jacket requirements.

The first aid kit also usually means required first aid training as part of getting a driver's license. However I don't know if any countries require refresh sessions, so most people probably forget all except the basics.

> The Soviet Union lost more than 15% of its population!

When?
Up until 1990 that was a reasonable approximation to the truth. The USA certainly had its issues, but in a comparison between the USA and the USSR there was no question about who the relatively good guys were.

Since the USSR collapsed, and especially since 9/11, things have gotten a lot murkier.
I don’t think someone slacking off would post on hn as emotionally agnostic as op. It does sound like there’s a fair amount of gaslighting though, if you associate ‘the performance of the project’ with yourself as a junior, that’s on your manager - if you screw up, it’s their fault for not providing top cover.

I employ one full timer and another junior, most screwup’s are my miscommunications or me not setting expectations.

@op, Mind if I ask, are you part of any minorities which may result in you being bullied? Obviously you don’t have to answer, and I don’t want to gaslight you, but a lot of *ist behaviour I see is smart enough to be camouflaged.

To be clear though, junior’s screwing up is par for the course, if you’re a net zero (bring in as much income/productivity as you burn in screwups, but with the ability to learn), I’d consider you a win.
What do you mean by “real one”?
It’s probably very painful to try to convert a piece of async software to use a threaded model (though I’m just guessing, having never had to attempt this), so I’d say it’s more a matter of thinking up front about whether you need to control threads directly. But to your main point, I agree. I suspect the vast majority of software has no need for thread-model parallelism, and languages have only historically presented that parallelism model because it’s the model that the OS exposes to userland, even though the OS scheduler is async-style scheduling the machine threads themselves!
Somebody asked the other day.

Kagi pay for api access to both Google and Bing.
It's also useful as documentation even in single-tasked programs, since async ends up as a "good-enough" IO monad.

Then again, few programs are actually single-tasked in practice, and libraries often end up taking advantage of those async primitives for doing stuff like connection pooling even if your application code doesn't see it.

Depends on your definition of success.If one is Thinking of the long-term viability of the human race then capitalism can only be seen as a disaster if you look at it from a ecological perspective.
Not sure what to make of this. The lend-lease stuff is hardly extraordinary, it would have been crazy if they _didn't!_. Furthermore, the US received almost a similar amount of goods in return (US received 8bln from allies when they lended out 11bln to USSR). All usual and unremarkable stuff. Furthermore, it's hardly fair to equate suppy of aid (which the US can afford because of their capitalist practices of exploitation etc) with supply of human life.

I doubt there are many procrastinators around who don't realise that if they "just ... did things ahead of time" it would solve their procrastination, but you must realise that failing to do this is the very definition of procrastination. None of us like being procrastinators.

All you're telling us is that you're not a procrastinator.

I once read that procrastination is rooted in fear. I think this generally holds true for me. I've often found it helpful to identify the source of fear and that this sometimes breaks the loop. But just starting sooner? Yes, it's that simple but no, it's not that simple.

This shows how much programmers hate distraction. Perl doesn't really shepherd you into regexp, it's just easy to s/// in it, so you think: hmm, searching for a good xml library takes time, replacing is fast and non-distracting. In C, replacing in a string is so much harder, so you're okay with setting up a parser and using it. If only Perl had this out of box:

use xml;

foreach (xml::select(<STDIN>, "item[color=orange]")) {
$_->setattr("color", "red")
}
print(xml::result)

But just install XML::Parser you could say! Well, look here: [123] and tell how to do the above from it quickly. You can't. You still want regexp-like selector thing and Perl semantics, not just a deep hash of hashes of arrays of hashes which loses Perl's appeal instantly.

Better languages have better tools to work with out of box, and these tools match the language spirit. There is no XML Parser for Perl on CPAN, they all are for some other language that Perl isn't.

There's an additional very blatant theme I've been seeing of "science and engineers are the coolest!" that cropped up in, e.g. The Tomorrow War and another recent military themed US movie whose name I forget. They made me wonder if the army is fretting about its access to STEM skills.

Actually, no! That's because from the perspective of the view, it's simply directly referencing a table and some columns, it doesn't handle any of the updating.

What Reshape does is that it sets up triggers for the underlying table. When an insert is made, the trigger runs and updates the other columns directly on the table, which has no effect on the view.
It's backed by Mark Cuban — That's the business model so far.
As multiple comments already stated - iPhone or other touch-screen smartphones are great until you need to enter or edit text. But one of my biggest issues with touch screens - they become unusable with the first drops of rain - either real presses are missed or water drops registered as touches, sometimes many times per second causing random actions. iPhone seems to fare a bit better than another phone I have (Sony Z3) but still - if there any rain outside I cannot use it.

I wonder why no-one else mention this in touch screen discussions? In Silicon Valley of course this is not a problem, but on HN there are some people from the UK which should face the same problem as me.
Because that’s what it means to BE civilized. It means that we learn how to trust each other. I’m willing to trust experts for the same reason that you trust them to build roads and buildings and grow the food you eat and when you are sick with covid you go and beg those experts to save you instead having the courage of your skeptical convictions and dying alone in a forest.

I evaluate information about expertise partly based on social heuristics. For instance, long term reputation; and reputation networks such as are cultivated by mainstream (read responsible and accountable) journalism.

I accept their opinions because they are internally consistent, survive skeptical journalism over time, and based on the poor quality of criticism against them.

I am knowledgeable enough to detect many of the tricks and evasions of charlatans. And I review the work of watchdog organizations, too.

Finally, I believe that most people are decent. Most people are mediocre, yes, but they are decent. Conspiracies of evil cannot grow very large, because they collapse. Too many people are too good.

In France, the french secret services (DGSE) worked hand-in-hand with the production of a TV show called The Bureau (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4063800).

The services were supposedly lacking diverse resources for both operators, admins and field agents of diverse backgrounds.

This series drew a very strong, credible and positive narrative that led to a massive number of people knocking at the doors of the DGSE to join the forces.

Propaganda? I think not. Well thought out recruitment strategy as entertainment? Most likely yes.

Is there a difference between the two? To be discussed... ;)

I feel like this is a facile view of the situation, especially if you take Lend-Lease into account. The fact that U.S. schools and media tend to downplay the importance of the USSR war effort in favor of Western allies doesn’t mean we should immediately take the polar opposite stance.

I’ll quote British historian Anthony Beevor (who, by the way, agrees that the Soviet Union was key in defeating Germany):

“[T]he reason why the Russians got to Berlin before the Americans was quite simply that fact that it was American Dodge, Studebaker, Chevrolets and all the trucks that had been given to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease had made their advances in '43 and especially in '44 possible. They'd never have got anywhere near it.”

I'm glad that thanks to the internet and proper journalism, we have a better view on things. I grew up mainly in the 90's, with action movies from the time - think Rambo and co.

I don't remember watching anything that glorified the Vietnam war though. Full Metal Jacket showed how it was a shitshow. On a weird kind of lighter note, Forrest Gump showed how people died or were gruesomely injured. Rambo may have been the only one that tried to portray it somewhat positively? I don't quite remember.

I believe that people don't really have the power to make systemic changes in US, either. The past 10 years or so of federal politics have been ample demonstration of that.

But I digress. Mozilla is a US org, but it has worldwide outreach, and the product is certainly used worldwide, so it shouldn't be American-centric in its decision-making in any case.

FWIW I don't think the decision adds up to anything either way, to be honest. It's not going to meaningfully affect global warming, and it's not going to meaningfully affect the usefulness (or not) of cryptocoins. It's just a PR stunt - a silly one, but certainly not something worth getting riled up over regardless of one's stance.

Just to clear something up: I'm not actually all that bullish on existing cryptocoins myself - Bitcoin clearly has many problems, and it's not just energy wastefulness. What I'm interested in is radical political and economic decentralization in general, from an extreme left libertarian perspective. Decentralized money ought to be a part of that, somehow, and blockchain seems like a workable approach in principle, but it isn't there yet. I hope it will be someday.

But in the meantime, something that lets people in, say, Venezuela send or receive money from US - or, for that matter, lets people in US send or receive money from Iran - is a worthwhile tool to have.
Something like this?

Having an artisian breadmaker tradition helps. Over here in Germany, you can have all kinds of baguette-analogues (and some actual baguettes) virtually anywhere, no magic French dihydrogenmonoxide needed.

And in certain capitalist societies, the capital decides the laws and allocation of resources.

Where did I say science? Many modern scientific disciplines are by their nature exclusionary because they require access to specialized equipment and space, so of course that's somewhat of an exception to my generality.

And I say somewhat because historically a surprising number of breakthroughs did not happen in a lab, nor were discovered by professional scientists. I took a course in the history of science and tech and the primary lesson pounded into us was how often breakthroughs were accidents made by amateurs.

And among the names of poor scientists are folks like Tesla and the early Einstein I mentioned earlier. So my point stands, even extending a little bit at least here.

In italy ADE (in italian known as DAE) can be used by anybody: when you call emergency number, they ask you for the problem and if needed, operator suggests you to find an ade. If you can find one nearby, it's the device itself that instructs you how to apply it to the patient and how to use it, by speaking to you and it's super simple even for people that don't have any health or emergency support knowledge. The ade device monitors the patient and decides itself if it must release the charge shock or not (sorry for my english, hope you understand what i mean!).
So this is not a useless device and being able to deliver an ade device faster even in places where it would took time to send an ambulance, it's significantly important and personally i'd be more happy to see flying drones equipped with ade than drones equipped with stuffs bought on amazon or somewhere else: that would be a good use of drone technology for our humanity

FL needs to make non-compete clauses illegal (and therefore, employee-friendly).
Not sure why salary data needs to be so secret. I think it is important for potential employer to understand how much an employee is willing to work for . For one thing they not going to approach you with lower salary then they know about. This eliminates a set of employers who cannot afford you and save a lot of time for everybody. Employer will obviously offer as low as they can (what would you do yourself in this case) but if you are unhappy with the offer you just don’t accept. It looks a important however to understand your “market value” but this requires getting multiple offers.
Speaking about movies I am more confused why modern Russian movies portray Soviet soldiers as a bunch of idiots either drinking, shooting each other or being killed by KGB. And most of such movies are sponsored by the government. Go figure!

Yes this is one thing, but it misses many of the other things I mentioned, e.g. it would not check out the Git repo, not open an editor and automatically attaching a debugger to the running application, not helping me in preparing an upstream patch, bug report, etc. Ideally I want a single button on the app GUI window for this, sth like "edit this code".

Sure.

Instead of starting with technology, I started by selecting people that I can work with and are crazy enough to accept working on such an ambitious idea. It turned out that they really liked Crystal and, so, here we are. I have over 30 years of dev experience, and in my previous startup I wrote a significant part of the code. But never wrote a line of code in Crystal before so it does make me feel a little uncomfortable. Its performance is truly amazing and that is what I care most about. Our front-end payload is HTML + vanilla JS (which btw is not needed, everything works in no-js), and probably about 100k on average, very lightweight.

I am based in SF Bay Area, and we are a fully remote team.

The propaganda effort shown in popular movies is just a small tip of the iceberg.

The United States and its state-run propaganda and terrorism organisations cannot be allowed to walk through the 21st century without answering and making amends to the crimes committed.

It has never before been more urgent to question and criticise the United States for its past decades of war, propaganda, sowing discord and effort to partition the world into those who are with them, subordinate, and those who are against them.

It is a good thing that we are still allowed to speak about it without being accused of being shills, spies, or "Russian trolls". But it might not last if these people get their way.
