This is an interesting approach to this problem.

I like the idea of building the new schema as an in-memory database. You could even go a step further and compare them using a SQL query that joins across the two databases (SQLite supports this, it's pretty neat).

I'm a bit nervous about how edge-cases might screw things up, but a nice thing about SQLite is that backups are really cheap so I guess you can protect against any risks by creating a backup before running this script.

My preferred approach to database migrations is the one implemented by Django: migrations are a sequence of transformations stored in files on disk, and the database includes a table that says which of those migrations have been applied. This keeps everything in version control and means there's no chance of the wrong migration being applied in the wrong way.

It's quite a bit more work to setup though. I don't have my own Django-style migration system for SQLite yet and I really need one.

I really love how clean and short the implementation of this is! https://david.rothlis.net/declarative-schema-migration-for-s...
We can just generalize this to "you don't know what you don't know". It's not like HN has any shortage of late career professionals peddling asinine takes on things they just don't have the subject matter experience in or have out of date info.
There was one where is started getting to XOR. Going left to right if the line in the first box matched the line in the second block, it was not found in the third block.
Seems like it stopped being about pattern matching versus logical constraint identification and application.

...You do know that social anxiety disorder is a genuine and recognized mental illness, right?

Or are you just one of those people who thinks that all mental illness is just a lack of sufficient gumption?
Googled it for you:

> To qualify for Mensa, you must have scored in the top 2 percent of the general population on any one of more than 200 accepted, standardized intelligence tests — including our Mensa Admission tests — at any point in your life. An estimated six million Americans are eligible for membership.

I've met some members. Their personalities are not what I would associate with the most intelligent people I've otherwise met. People who memorize digits of Pi come to mind.
Abortion is special in that the Texas law (which is about to be approved by the Supreme Court) opens them up to lawsuits.

So it's not just for the clicks. Abortion is a kind of healthcare which is illegal to provide in some places. If Amazon commits itself to defying those laws, that's a very big deal.
For me the example printing `1` makes sense because I think `let` as being something immutable, so I wouldn't expect `setv` to mutate that variable (would expect either a compiler error or the introduction of a new local variable).

But maybe it is because I am familiar with Clojure (where `setv` or equivalents doesn't exist) and not other Lisps.

This would be the equivalent Clojure code anyway:

user=> (let [a 1] (defn foo [] (def a 2)) (foo) (println a))
1
nil

So yeah, makes sense for me. But can understand why some other people would expect the other way though.

DO has a generally poor reputation in the security industry as abuse from their services is very common - they don't really vet their customers to any real degree. The same is true of e.g. AWS which is why a lot of websites will outright block traffic coming from AWS.

The reality is that "anonymous payment" is kind of pointless, it's basically never the payment method that determines abuse potential as abusers have all kinds of ways of making payment anonymously even when only e.g. cc is accepted. What matters is the level of time and effort put into monitoring usage.

To be honest, on a pure sniff test your traffic coming from DO is probably more suspicious. There are lots of legitimate uses of commercial VPNs. There are not many legitimate users of consumer web-browsing from DO.
One that I've always thought is really cool since I heard about it is the base of street signs. Instead of being cemented into the ground, signs are commonly bolted to a base so that they'll break away when hit. Some even have an incline that will throw the sign up and over your car. After learning this, I've started paying attention to signs I pass on walks or while driving and it's crazy how they are everywhere and I never noticed.

Here's a link with some more information: https://99percentinvisible.org/article/breakaway-hit-street-...

Another thing to look into if you find that cool is guard rail design. Modern guard rails have some cool features designed to reduce risks associated with hitting them.
I had a manager who (back when we were office workers) liked to do outdoor walking 1-on-1 meetings. TBH, I really disliked it, but not enough to ask to stay indoors. I found the noise and sights rather distracting.
I think knowing xor is the trick because once you recognize it, the first half or so of the test becomes a bunch of questions that are exactly the same. It would be one thing if I thought they were equally easy (then I could imagine that I was just saturating them with my Giant Brain(tm)) but for them to be absolutely identical, I think, shows that the test isn't working anymore.
What I find impressive is that despite online IQ tests being notoriously unreliable, my score on the ~8 or so I've completed as an adult over the years (including this one) has been remarkable stable, to within + or - a couple of points - even though I generally don't take them very seriously. Which makes me question if they actually are all that unreliable, given that my score is not all that close to the center of the curve.
My guess was that boxes of the same color on the same side of the line sum, but boxes of the same color on different sides of the line cancel each other out. That yielded an answer that was one of the 5 given possibilities.

I'm starting to think you might be right about it being an OS.
I don't want to devolve into any petty arguments about what makes a Lisp a "Lisp", since everybody has their own incompatible definition, but I will say writing Hy feels like writing Python with weird syntax, and it does not feel like writing Lisp with a huge, familiar ecosystem of libraries.

I will give you this, though, you can have a taste macros with Hy, which of course are one of the cornerstones of different Lisps.

With that said, I do not feel like one would accurately develop a feel for what Lisp is like (be it Common Lisp, Scheme, Racket, or Clojure) by using Hy.
The table of Contents seemed interesting and I was getting ready to buy the book until I discovered - the author has reserved between 1/3 and 1/4 of the book for chapters about writing comments.
This is such a weird turn in new science.

For hundreds of years folks breed dogs for various traits. Labs are friendly (and not great guard dogs). Greyhounds can run fast and like to chase. Pitbulls can use their strong bite and a shake behavior to devastating effect. And the list goes on.

Now we have nature coming out with a study that shows breed does NOT predict behavior?

What's interesting is I'm not sure some breeds can even mechanically behave in certain ways. Can miniature poodles even hamstring you if they wanted to?

Science has taken a lot of hits recently with some of the covid stuff. This type of scientific conclusion is going to risk some more damage to folks faith in science (or at least in the accuracy of reporting on science).

>Mensa and other high IQ societies consist of people who have enough time to dedicate to being in a high IQ society.

They also consist of people who (stupidly) attribute a lot more value to IQ than it deserves. I got a 135 on this test, I am not smarter than Richard Feynman.

I bet that IMO/IPhO medalists are a LOT smarter than Triple-9 people.

(Yes, I know that Feynman underwent an actual physical examination, and his score was probably lowered by his poor English skills, but my point still stands: smart people typically don't have extremely high IQs.)
In the United States, 'protected" in this context means 'legally protected', in this case by the ADA. Employers are required to give reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities.
Can the treadmill go backwards?
Can we stop promoting IQ tests? They are pseudo-scientific garbage.
there's nothing wrong with online from my perspective, but there is when it's the only form of interaction. If you only spend time online with your close peer group you're never exposed to content far outside of the norm, and you don't get a diversity of communication mediums. You are literally handicapping your ability to communicate.
I completely agree with that comment you linked, Purism is either deliberately selling snake oil or are completely clueless.

Here's another example of this with them bashing Android/iOS security:

> One of the problems with the security measures implemented in Android and iOS is that they restrict the user as much, if not more, than they restrict an attacker. [1]

When Android actually has pretty decent sandboxing [2] which I've never felt restricted me as a user, and can actually protect you from malware, unlike their recommendation which is just security theater without a sandbox when it comes to malware.

Unless you don't plan on ever installing any apps and personally audit every update yourself (since it's unlikely someone else will audit every single one thoroughly enough), malware and malicious third parties are a much greater threat than Google who is actually pretty transparent about what data they collect and handle it securely and responsibly.

It gets boring pretty quickly. I wonder if part of people considered having a high IQ is the ability to persevere through adversity and having grit which really isn't the same as raw intelligence.
Yep, management sins abound. It made sense to me that some people would be picking at Ryan Johnson's film as defiling the saga or whatever because it was divisive, but obviously if you're trying to tell a good story - and it isn't like Johnson forced Disney to produce his film - you'll find a way to work with that and honour the world you're creating. Instead, they threw fuel on the fire, practically breaking the fourth wall as they do everything they can to reverse the thing with Episode 9. People shouldn't be talking about how the writers disagreed with each other, but here we are; the lasting legacy of the last three Star Wars movies is not the movies themselves, but the story of how they were politicked and focus-grouped into existence. Nobody involved here had even the slightest concept of artistic creation.

And to be fair, I liked Episode 8. Flawed, stupid casino planet bit, the ending was silly. But Star Wars isn't known for its plot and logical consistency anyway; the series is 99% retcons and fan theories. What's important is the atmosphere and the characters, and what the meagre plot means for those characters. And there was actually some genuine effort being made.
In 90s India, dry cleaners did dyeing and darning too. And puncture shops offered vulanisation and retreading bald tires. Now they are all but gone.

> I scored almost right in the middle of the bell curve.

Congratulations! You're in possession of the statistically perfectly normal pattern matching skills!

A score of 100 means that you're as good in pattern matching as a normal human being, assuming the test is served and adjusted to a varied enough population.

This being Mensa, an organisation that's known of attracting people who think they are smart, your normal pattern matching skill might still be statistically better than the rest of the populace. Or it might mean that you're normal according to Norwegian standards, which doesn't necessarily say anything about your country. Or it could mean that you're above intelligent but not raised in a western, white society, because IQ measurement is culturally sensitive as well.

The homepage doesn't give any details about the population the IQ test was measured against, so it's hard to say what the end result means. Higher number = better pattern matching skills, that's the best explanation I can think of.

I am coming from same path as you describe - hiker to the core. Be it 2 hours or 3 weeks in himalaya. That's my past 14 years of life described (with some climbing, ski touring and few other sports on top, but this is the solid base).

I have 2 small kids now, and they are really not in best shape for long hikes or anything more extreme. Son on baby backpack would be 20 kilos without any further equipment/food required.

So I switched to long evening walks during work week after they go sleep. 2-3h, up to 10km. Luckily there are some nice options around me, so I try to variate things a bit every time, join things in loops and so on. Often music in the ears, very dark, walking in the forests where path surface is not really visible, rather than just very weak line and I trust my feet (and know the surface is not really tricky since I walked it 100x already).

Walking fast, as fast as my legs allow it for prolonged time (one gets this sense after some time spent doing it, pushing oneself too much is very bad idea). Also not fan of backpacks for this, rather stuffing pockets of jacket with everything required.

Its magical, clears head, tons of ideas come to me, for family, work, anything. Sometimes I struggle to write it all down and not forget anything. Sometimes smoking a bit of weed which makes this process more smooth. One activity that keeps such previously-active person as me still sane, even if kids sometimes try hard to push me the other way.
No? It just means people teach pitbulls to attack other people.

Ban pitbulls and those people will teach some other breed to attack.
Well, I just meant `println` should be probably in `io` rather than `fmt`---it is a great convenience function to have.

Also not all streams are equal: stdio is heavier than file streams, which in turn are heavier than memory-backed streams (for example, stdio will probably need a built-in lock while string streams needn't). If you only need for example memory-backed streams you want to never see any code related to stdio, which might not be possible in some designs.
I'm using "protected" in the sense that it is a genuine disability, recognized by modern medicine and law, and as such anyone who suffers from it is entitled to the full protection of the ADA in the US.

It also means that anyone disparaging it like that in the workplace is guilty of discrimination against a disabled person, just as if they had called someone with an amputated leg a "worthless cripple", or mocked a hearing-impaired person for not being able to hear them when they whisper in a meeting.
I've never been part of Mensa, but it seems like good concept for when it was created.

The basic problem a lot of bright people had -- in the days before telecommunications -- was that the only people you had access to lived on your own street. If you were a nerd, most were boring.

A lot of work went into finding interesting people, be that through ham radio, organizations like Mensa, universities (at the time, about 5% of people went to university), gifted programs, or other places nerds could congregate.

I don't see much point to Mensa in 2022, but I think the cynicism is unwarranted. What do you do when you have a social club which is suddenly obsoleted by cars, phones, air planes, and the internet?
Rulings like this clearly attack all women in America, which is over 50% of all Americans.

And yet a great many women voted for the person who put the definitive votes on this case. Including a majority of white women.

I concur with you that this constitutes women attacking other women. I'm merely pointing out that this is the case.
Back in 1995 I had a moment of massive intellectual insecurity and joined MENSA. There were about 30 of us who took the test. Keep in mind this was before email privacy & hygiene and the mailing list went out to all instead of BCC so we found out that everyone passed. Literally everyone.

I'm suspicious of the MENSA selection criteria. You can even join without taking the test by having an SAT score above a certain value. Dubious.

But then, why would anyone join a High IQ society? I did because I needed proof I was smart, and wanted to be around other smarties (my social circle was nill), but the people were just kinda average and boring.
Only if you leave in people with cognitive impairments. IQ against income rapidly decorrelates as you exceed the 80-point threshold; income is probably the only real and hard measure - and frankly even using that measure conflates success. How many conventionally smart people are ascetic or minimalist? Historically, there's a pretty high count.

I don't think that's clear at all, and I don't think it's helpful for you to handwave those other risks as if everybody already knows what they are. What is an example of one other risk?

The only other risk I can think of is interest rate "risk" - the "risk" that rates go up right after you buy a bond, and you'll wish that you'd waited and gotten the better deal. But I wouldn't really consider that a true risk. The bond you bought is still perfectly good, so that's just plain old buyer's remorse.

This largely comes down to local group culture. In my experience, in the U.S. at least, more rural groups seem better. I speculate that this is due to: (1) lack of alternatives for intellectual engagement and (2) demographics, specifically that older generations are more likely to join clubs and organizations of all kinds. Both of these would balance the trend of millennial professionals to only join such an organization out of arrogance.

Apple fucked themselves by embracing the status quo of silicon valley commuter car culture.

It's hard not to notice that so many of the complaints around return to work from SV area posters centre around commuting woes.

If SV cities were compact, walkable places where people could easily walk, bike and take transit to work returning to work wouldn't cause so much grief.

People are upset at the notion of a return to an hours long commute on the highway. If their commute was a 15 minute bike ride there'd be less opposition.

Apple built the wrong thing in the wrong place, and never became politically involved in trying to make life better for their employees.
Back when Flash Boys came out, we all started calling each other Flash Boys. There was then a serious proposal to rename one of the strategies (the hedger, for added irony) Grandma Annihilator 3000.

I miss the 2010s. It was a lot more fun when people leaned into stuff instead of being scared all the time.
It's funny. I am fascinated by cryptozoology, but generally don't believe cryptids exist. So you'd think skeptics' groups would be my jam? Turns out, nah. All the skeptics' groups I've tried aren't really all that interested in paranormal subjects, per se, just in their agreement that it doesn't exist. And the conversations often don't go much beyond that, so I quickly get bored.

Cryptozoology enthusiast groups are way more fun for me. I may not agree with most people there on whether Mothman exists, but we are 100% agreed that Mothman is awesome and we would like to spend more time talking about the story and what it means to people.

I used to be a regular at a Ruby meetup on similar grounds. I don't actually like the programming language itself very much, but I love Rubyists.
