I feel like a graph database is a solution to an issue I've faced (and, continue to face) and it may just be because that I haven't spun one up and tried or that the documentation/examples don't stick out. But could someone confirm my feeling? If my feeling is correct, I'd enjoy verifying it with EdgeDB or the like.

My example/requirement: I have a user wanting to find best-matching blog posts. Every post is tagged with a given category. There could be 100+ categories in the blog system and a blog post could be tagged with any number of these system categories. A user wants to see all posts tagged with "angular", "nestjs", "cypress" and "nx". The resulting list should return and be sorted by the best matches, to those of least relevance. So, posts that include all four tags should be up top and as the user browses down the results, there are posts with less matching tags.

What I've seen with SQL looks expensive, especially if you search with more and more tags. I may just not know what to search for though, re. SQL. Is there a query against a graph database that could accomplish this?
A better wording would be “don’t make calls into jurisdictions that violate our legal statutes”.

Ok, let me make a simple “marvel comics” example: what if all your calls were funneled through “Putin servers” or “Iran cloud” or “ People's Liberation Army computers”? Would you mind?

I hear you arguing “but we’re the good guys! We’re USA, flag bearers of Democracy!” but no. Really according to EU law, under USA jurisdiction Pricacy Rights are fair game for people like Zuck. The guy that said “ I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS. People just submitted it. I don't know why. They "trust me". Dumb fucks.”

Now, granted: our politicians likely want to stay on top of the consensus forming media, and make sure it’s within reach of their network. Annoying to see all the action moving to a different platform after all the years spent building relationships with the old media, but that’s the business.
I like the security of Protonmail, but realized that its best use is when both sender and receiver are both using Protonmail, so messages can be fully end-to-end encrypted.

I moved my domain from G Suite Legacy to iCloud+ but kept a separate free Protonmail so other contacts who care about encryption can see the "@protonmail.com" email and message there.

With a custom domain, people wouldn't know if it's Protonmail encryption compatible without typing the email into the send message window first.
if easy to answer: can this be used with eg AWS RDS? or is there something that couples the postgres engine tightly enough that's not doable?
Counterpoint:

Stability is a critical optimization criteria, but should be balanced with the need to maintain "dynamism". New ideas can't win if any time the entrenched hit problems they are bailed out. Maintaining employment is necessary for long-term societal stability, maintaining Goldman Sachs is not.

In recent years our definition of stability shifted to one where market winners remain winners indefinitely.
Sure, but that's identification approaches in econometrics and matrix analysis contexts. Using that for neural networks is new-ish in the zeitgeist, which did not exist in the 1990s as it does today.
I'd love to see support for structural typing. There are some proposals for that:

It also aligns perfectly with my suggestion that this is a timed attack. And it’s also an attack on the issue where it’s most obvious to attack. Calling someone or a company racist is extremely hard to disprove and is the calling card the media and the establishment to pile on.
How about the ability to solve novel problems?

We have very good problem solving ability of course, but a superpowered ability to ask others how they solved the problem. If we wanted to somehow define a kind of 'brain horsepower' type intelligence, it seems to me that the former is closer to it than the latter, and it doesn't seem obvious to me that humans would necessarily take the top spot. Or that there's a reasonable/ethical way to test it -- let's take a human, elephant, crow, and dolphin, raise them in total isolation from the any community to get a measure of their untrained intelligence... we might get some interesting results on intelligence, but mostly we will learn something about ballistics as some ethics review board launches us unto the Sun.
I'm not keen to defend anything. I know this can seem unusual, but I'm just trying to understand the situation as well as possible. I'm not treating any option as a team to blindly cheer on.

The problem with what you're saying is that to supply peak power at all times could require building capacity in each method to supply full power, in case the others all fall to zero power. And even then, you hope that they don't all fall to zero, I guess.
One could argue they filled out their niche

Between this and Facebook's recent woes, I wish this was a sign of a global tiring of social media in general.

I'm frequently wrong about these things, but one can hope.

and dare I say politics. For various reasons, including the rather diverse nature of tech workforce due to a substantial number of immigrants and even otherwise, the tech workforce is generally liberal or are at least centrist moderate. Texas is not an ideal home for most of them.
I have a post-it note in my desk drawer that reads "Don't Prioritize, Just Keep Moving".

With ADHD, executive function is a challenge, and the moment I try to slow down and actually plan out an entire day or I try to force myself to do that one thing, my brain has a tendency to just shut down. The way I get things done is just by doing the next thing my brain latches onto.

Is this ideal? Of course not. But fortunately it (usually) works reasonably well for my job, and the alternative involves being more stressed and getting less done. That's not to say I don't prioritize at all, but I try not to let it get in the way of my flow.
I would love some links on this, because it sounds fascinating.
Keep in mind that the presidential election is in 3 months.

Macron wants to show he is being pragmatic. Nuclear energy allows to reduce carbon emissions without sacrificing the economy. It's particularly smart in this moment of tension with Russia, as Europe depends a lot on Russian energy.

But whether this happens or not remains to be seen.
Which makes it all the more infuriating that recruiters get snippy when I refuse to help them grow their network for free.
Ukraine and Slovakia both generate the majority of their electricity from nuclear [1]. South Korea and China area also building nuclear plants at a decent rate (though the former is adding a lot of fossil fuel capacity too).

When the United States built nuclear plants at scale, in serial production, plant costs were also much lower.

I mean, I assume the US are interested in this exchange as well. If they are, they could lead by example and reform the CLOUD act or implement some more effective data protection regulations themselves.

We aren't in this mess because the EU somehow wants to nationalize the internet, we are because with current legislation, US companies can be forced to hand over whatever data they posess, no matter where it's stored.

Not a lawyer, but my current understanding of the current events is more or less the EU saying "if it's subject to the CLOUD act, it violates the GDPR". That's a pretty clear indication of what's wrong.
I've tried writing a response to you a few times but realizing how complex it is—the real answer to your question is worthy of a long blog post.

The core problem is the blurring of the lines between a framework and the underlying technologies of the web (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript). To me, it seemed like a lot of unnecessary complexity was being added just to achieve the common goal of rendering some HTML, styling it with CSS, and making it interactive with JavaScript (what I refer to in conversation as a "need to look smart" or "justify having a CS degree").

For example, introducing a new syntax/language like JSX (and the compiler/interpretation code) when plain HTML is simple and obvious. The drive to make everything happen on the client leading to vendor lock-in by third-party providers to fill the gaps of having a database (e.g., Firebase/Supabase). Making routing seem like some complex thing instead of a URL being typed into a browser, a server mapping it to some HTML, and then returning that HTML.

Where this really became clear to me was in the resulting developer experience. I've been teaching devs 1-on-1 since ~2015 and had a bird's eye view of what it was like using these tools across the spectrum of competency (beginner, intermediate, advanced). The one consistent theme was confusion about how X framework mapped back to HTML in the browser.

That confusion was handled in one of two ways: making messes in the codebase to solve a simple problem (e.g., lord help me with the nested routing in React) or giving up entirely. As an educator, the latter was especially bothersome because the transition from basic web dev to these JS frameworks was so jarring for some, they just didn't want to bother. That shouldn't happen.

I'd like to elaborate on these things a bit more. Can you send an email to ryan.glover@cheatcode.co so I can remember to follow up once I've organized the post I've hinted at above?

Every company which is contributing to free software, in any form, is a free software business model. A business model does not necessarily need to be defined by its ethical stances; an industrial manufacturer might decide that for ethical reasons they will not use child labor, or use CFCs in their products. But simply saying “I will be ethical” will not lead to a business model¹. I.e. to start with free software and from there try to find a business model will only lead you to a few well-known examples; to wit:

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html.en

However, any business model which is otherwise ethical and supports free software in some capacity is a free software business model.

Elon is an organic target for cancel culture. I say organic because I haven’t been able to theorize how these things are coordinated (the attacks on Joe Rogan all of a sudden). It feels so coordinated but there is simply no central PR agency doing it.

So, my best theory is that it’s kinda like the paparazzi. You find the celebrities going through a train wreck life situation (divorce, drugs, etc) and cover them. This organically brings the tabloids to specific targets.

Elon is a very natural target. In this case he has taken a strong stance on workers being able to work during Covid, so in a way he put his battle flag up on that hill. That’s the hill the parasites will flock to.

Rogan took a stance on free speech. So that’s the hill they fought him on (found all the shit he has to apologize for).

The market for this is quite natural at this point, and I have no other words to describe it as repetitious as it is.
That's not a refutation of the difference, just an explanation of the difference.
Except, with higher interest rates the nominal price of housing falls relative to wages. A worker can reasonably hope to buy there way out of rents at some point in the future (assuming the price of the house is set as a multiple of it's rental equivalent cash flow discounted over time)

I don't see that listed anywhere in the thread, so I'll ask here instead:

Does prior to startup mean there's a separate build step, or are you saying it happens during the loading of the script. I'm pretty confident that the latter is what deno was doing, although I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Are dynamic imports simply disallowed? Since it is impossible to download in advance a script to which you don't know the URL without running the program, they'd have to be, in order for your assertion to be true.
To me, this is Exhibit A of the oddly incoherent nature of discussions that appear here. What you wrote is a random mixture of ideology, misinterpretation of what happened, and the wrong forum for it.

Where would one even start?

US Govt hasn't returned the bitcoin to Bitfinex. Bitfinex has stated they would apply for getting it returned. This is the process these things take. All that has occurred is a DOJ/FBI seizure, indictment and arrest. I don't know what reaction you referring to and your sentences are ideological hyperbole that have nothing to do with the technology. This is a technology and industry forum. The technology allows any possessor of the private key to assume control over the entries in that private key.
Nullable references are far from what they could be. When you use them a lot, you often have to override compiler with ! because it is too stupid. I’d also like to have better support for const references as in c++.

I’d like to see more powerful generics, so that something akin to partial template specialisation is possible without going through boxing and unboxing too much.

With regards to safety, well rust has shown what is possible. Async/ await has introduced function colouring which is a kind of bloat.

All in all there are many things that could reduce the bloat, instead of some tiny features that help with value types or to optimise some rare case.
Anyone who reads both my comment and this reply, and thinks this reply is of more value, is in any case beyond hope.

Elon Musk has certainly brought his companies into the public interest through his marketing and flamboyant takes on political and social issues.

That said, I do think this story is newsworthy based on the severity of the DFEH lawsuit and prior history with the Diaz case. The bigger question is not if there is bias in news reporting, but DFEH action. That is to say, is Tesla actually an outlier in workplace environments or selected based on other criteria.
> Turns out there’s already an effective old-fashioned way to achieve your goal of a clean floor while neither insulting my hygiene habits nor endangering my delicate, vulnerable, long-suffering feet: It’s called a doormat.

Yeah I'm an opponent and I feel the same. The talking points have been exhausted half a decade ago. On top of that as cryptocurrencies get more and more mainstream we have to deal with less sophisticated people who make it very hard to have a decent discussion in the first place, because you basically have to start by taking 20 minutes to explain to them what the basics even are.

NFTs are really pushing this situation to the extreme. Between the NFT enthusiast who seem to think the technology is literal magic who can do anything you want it to and "haters" who will say stuff like "NFTs are just URLs of JPEG" which is absurd oversimplification and completely misses the point.

That being said I would argue that the fact that the discussion is not advancing and that we're left with "monkey jpegs" is to be blamed entirely on the cryptopeople who clearly fail entirely to deliver anything new. The killer "crypto app" has been a couple of years away since 2015 at least. The tech keeps getting more complicated as an attempt to address the fundamentals shortcomings of the blockchain, but it still fails entirely at being anything more than a vehicle for wild speculation.

The fundamental reality is that basically nobody would be using any of this if they didn't think it was going to make them rich. That was true five years ago, it's true now and I think it's going to remain true for the foreseeable future.

> Twitter is [...] a public sphere where politicians are prohibited from blocking users

No, it's not.

When a public official uses their Twitter account as an official channel, that account becomes a limited public forum from which users cannot be blocked for reasons that they could not be excluded from official government fora more generally (e.g., viewpoint discrimination is not permitted.) This is not a restriction on Twitter, but on the conduct of government business by public officials that applies wherever and whenever they conduct such business.
There's a lot, the appeal to how humans lived 10k years ago seems odd though. Just because they lived in a certain way doesn't mean it's optimal. This is plainly obvious when you look at diets. Just because something was done out of necessity doesn't mean it's right. Weak argument right off the bat.
> It's a generic term that is commonly synonymous with employee.

It is not. It implies an entry level/unskilled/probationary position.

You would call a person who works tier 1 support an associate, or works the cash register in an Apple store, or a person whose job title reads "Software Engineer" and had been with the company for 2 months. You would not call a person whose job title reads "Software Engineer" and had been with the company for 18 months an associate.

If you've got a stack of applicants and one of them comes up with some bullshit like their previous employer claims their job title was Associate and they claim their actual job title was Software Engineer, that means I either have to do legwork to figure out what's actually happening, is this person lying about their experience etc, or just hire someone else. It's not a disqualifying characteristic, but if the resume says one thing and the background check says a different thing, that's a red flag. Sometimes the red flag is nothing, basically all of us have had a scumbag for an employer at various points in our careers, who's might to lie about us to future employers just because they're spiteful. But red flags have to be chased down and verified before you can hire someone with red flags on their resume.

Right now, in 2022, I would just hire them if they had a pulse, red flags or not. But when the next recession happens? And we've gone through three rounds of layoffs, and only now are positions opening up in onesies and twosies and there are 40 applicants? I'm just going to discard the 30 resumes with red flags. Among the 10 remaining resumes I'm gonna interview the 5 who went to the best schools and had the most experience.

Sounds like you never used Delphi. Modern C sharp with whatever MS calls the GUI classes this week doesn't hold a candle to how fast you chouls whip up an UI in Delphi and then concentrate on actual functions.

The fact that nuclear plants last so long is a sort of unfortunate benefit. Nuclear plant production is cheaper when multiple plants of the same design are built together in serial production. But the longevity of nuclear plants mean that the need to build new ones is spaced out over decades.

That said, it's still the only non-intermittent clean energy source that isn't geographically dependent like hydro and geothermal. Plans to decarbonize civilization invariably involve either nuclear power, or a magnificent yet-to-be-invented breakthrough in energy storage.
