It doesn't guess, but also the data can't tell it. It's not just that you get a string by default, it's that everything starts as a string and then goes through post-processing. If you want to distinguish between 'any string' and 'not a string', you can't.

> Here you can use `NullNone` to parse `null` into None.

That's the worst possible outcome for poor Christopher Null.

The best you can do for him is use "a:" to mean null but at that point you're not really dealing with nulls, you've just gone with strings and used an empty string.
Right but what if it already ran? Should the jobs be written such that they are tolerant to re-runs?

In Europe Torx is swiftly replacing Philips. Screws and bits are readily available in every hardware store in every size. My feeling is they already overtook Philips.

Square has never been a thing in Europe.
Ask HN: What are a few ways one can protect their portfolio in a bear market?
I'm familiar with standard methods like diversification, making sure you have non-correlating stocks in your portfolio, options and stop losses but are there other ways not typically discussed in the mainstream? Are there any APIs that can tell me if any of my stocks are at risk of being systemically affected by what's happening in the market today?

Thank you for your responses!
Oh one hundred percent! That’s definitely part of our vision. Couldn’t have put it across better.
So we already have a small pilot of that running with any documents you get from the Desklamp store - these have the multiplayer aspect in the form of public notes. The idea is that if you make useful notebooks like chapter summaries or some insight on a book, you can publish those for all readers of the book to see. Didn’t promote that here because we don’t have licensed content yet but you can check it out on any of the consulting books.
No, there are lots of situations where Phillips just aren't good enough. We have marine applications with small, 316 stainless screws into metal where they'd commonly get a bit gummed up and become extremely easy to strip and get stuck. Since switching everything to Torx (or hex for larger bolts), we've never had a problem with any screws getting stuck or damaged. Same manufacturer of the screws, same sizes, same materials, just different head.

Now I use Torx or hex head screws for my personal projects too because they're so much easier to work with once you have some drivers.
At least the one I went to on a school field trip the solids go to a landfill. There are two kinds of solids gross solids (trash) and sludge. Trash is strained out and removed from the incoming waste stream. Sludge is whatever settles out of the various treatment steps. It's anything that the bacteria can't digest.

Wet wipes would classify as trash but likely slip through the incoming strainer. Other things the waste treatment people hated were tampons and condoms.
Dang. Read replicas would have been awesome but I respect the reasoning. Looking forward to what's to come.

Because most workers, even though they get paid by the hour, actually want to see the job done. Plenty of people want to do a good job, so when they see someone coming in and adding to the workload to make the job worse they’ll, naturally, tell them to piss off.
Changing norms is a nice idea, but you'll have to lead by example I believe.

It's crazy that we have come there, but reading this I am actually entertaining buying one.

It is shocking how bad the experience of listening to my own music has become on iphones. Dongles (different for ipads and iphone of course), itunes for windows is barely usable, there is a bug they never fixed where the music player on iOS randomly mismatch the album artwork, and there are so many conflicting gestures that I always end up messing what I am trying to do. And like a year ago an OS update auto-decreases the volume if it deems I am listening too loud. Android isn't an option for me because Google.

But it's a pain to have to carry two devices, manage two batteries.

Yeah, we do exactly that, using the square ones (I expect they are Robinson) for the self tapping screws on the wooden crates we ship our satellite terminals and high speed radios in that we make. Everything inside the crate is Torx screws and Hex drive bolts.

Switching from Phillips screws has solved a lot of problems we used to have in maintaining the products, especially in marine applications.

Cannot recognize this at all. In fact, Torx-screws are the only door-mounting[0] screws I have ever been able to screw out rather than cut.

[0]: Where I live (Denmark) doors and windows are these days mounted with an 8 mm hard steel screw directly into a slightly undersized hole in the brick wall ("montageskrue" in danish). These are by far the highest torque screws I have ever worked with. The early versions used Phillips rather than Torx, and nobody even bothers trying to get those loose before breaking out the saw.
Re-hiring previous employees might be something Amazon does for lower wage, warehouse worker role.

I seriously doubt Amazon would rehire engineers from unregretted attrition or employees who were let go.

Amazon is actually insanely cost focused. For engineering, Amazon is more likely to hire more aggressively in India, bring more H1Bs to the US, or hire in European markets where total compensation is a fraction of what it is in the US.

During my time, a common tactic was to grow offices in India and use them as a pipeline to source H1Bs. In theory, you pay an H1B engineer the same total compensation once they’re in Seattle. Except in reality, if SDE 3 comp is $350K, you can bring an SDE 3 from India for more like $200K. You can get away with this for at least 18-24 months and get enough labor out of that person, until they realize they’re underpaid and demand a higher comp. Then, they either leave Amazon, but you already got several years of cheap labor from them. Otherwise you adjust their pay if you seriously want to keep them around.

With a single script with 50 lines of code, I will forever be able to pick it up again, understand it, use it, improve it. Handling will be quick. No installation, just copy the script, run it, done.

Using a project made of thousands of files and dependencies, there is way more maintenance ahead. Handling is slower and more cumbersome. If the project moves in a direction I don't like, maintaining a fork would be too much work.

You can pretty much count on your Angular project will fall apart after about two years if it has just modest complexity, and you are not maintaining carefully it.

If you do not upgrade, likely one of the huge number of sub-dependencies of your project will stop being supported. Where stop being supported means it will have a severe flaw that will be start generating warnings, break the build, or it will simply be removed from the public npm-repositories.

Technically you can protect yourself from this by having your own npm-repositories (ie. Artifactory), locking down npm, node, angular-cli versions and using a package-lock file.
One Philips fits a lot of sizes, can't say the same about Torx or Square.
I feel like something important here that's been overlooked is how easy it is to get the driver into the socket. This places a very real limit on how fast a large number of screws can be driven. Torx has fairly small tolerances and can be annoying to get in; I've never used Robertson but it seems easier to get in.
I've recently installed this plugin on my own distro. It sucks that default gnome can only tile 2 windows per monitor. This plugin is great
That's a sensible response, so thanks for that.

Being hard to define and manage subscriptions is a problem, a bigger deeper problem that react query or any other lib isn't solving.

By "set of possible events any given query might need to subscribe to is massive" i assume you meant "component" and not query, if not then i don't know what that means, if yes, that component needs refactoring.

I'm interested in libraries not because of what it can do for my code or me or my team but what problem it solved for the team that needed it in the first place, bad enough to write a lib for it. I want to avoid those problems.

I start with importing libs for quick TAT and slowly replace them with a few hundred lines of code that i can understand, modify, debug, monitor, unit and integration test. I usually end up redefining or better defining the problem and rescoping the issue to not needing to solve said problems.

Most libs do NOT provide that level of valuable solutions to worthy problems to go keep them around as deps. Deps are not free and have no liability to me or my code. React query is one more in that long list. IMHO.
European low-cost airlines are terrible. They do everything they can to lower the fees they pay. That often involves skipping major airports, unless they can negotiate a cheap enough deal with the airport. Those deals tend to involve things that make the passenger experience worse, because the airports don't want normal airlines to choose the same deal.

If you choose a normal airline and fly to any reasonably big airport that's not overcrowded, you'll get a jetway outside exceptional situations.

After 40 years of cursing at stripped Phillips heads, I finally discovered the Japanese Industrial Standard. https://www.mcmaster.com/jis-(japanese-industrial-standard)-... They are designed NOT to cam, and grip Phillips screws like a champ. You can use JIS drivers on Phillips screws, even though they're technically a different standard. Apparently one of the best-kept secrets of my lifetime. I can't get those 40 years back, but your life just got better. You are welcome.

Side take-away about dust (desert) in general:

> Study authors say even dust from deserts could be damaging people’s hearts when wind sweeps particles away, sending them long distances to big cities and towns. People in Japan were 21 percent more likely to end up in a hospital on days when desert dust from China and Mongolia was in the air. Pollution of air, water, and soil is responsible for at least nine million deaths each year, according to estimates.
No "science" here, all anecdote built from boats, skis, and a moderate amount general use:

Flat head: the bigger the better in this format, and simplicity has it's place, but easy to destroy in a variety of situations. Also, when you're out of options cutting a flathead slot into a destroyed screw might just work. The classic 6.5/10

Phillips: everywhere, but rather bad. You get a finite but unknown number of interactions with Phillips heads before it suddenly strips out and you're sad. This includes both the screws and the bits, Philips bits are the only ones I've ever had that shatter, the rest fairly predictably deform and can be retired.

Square (Robertson): bettr than the above. However, they're also like hex (Allen) but less good.

Hex (Allen): one of my favorites, and they scale rather well. BUT, if you strip it at all, maybe even once, you're done, the angles are shallow enough that there's no coming back, you've cut out a circle.

Posix: like Phillips if you squint, but if you actually use the right bit and, most importantly, push down harder than seems reasonable times 2, you'll pretty much never have a problem.

Torx: not lots of experience, and there's the rub. At the moment they're a hard bit for a layperson to find, regardless of their advantages

I'm extraordinarily wary of relying on non-open-source software. But when I see that you are focusing on power users, that does arouse my interest - that's why I continue to pay for Jetbrains even though VIM is fee.

But if I leave Jetbrains I can still work on my projects with VIM. If I leave Desklamp, how can I continue to view my notes? Do third party PDF readers, e.g. Okular, support whatever annotation format you are using?

I need an exit strategy if the company goes belly up, or I am unable to pay my bills, or QT N+1 is incompatible with my Foobar, or I don't upgrade, or the US sanctions my country, or DNS is blocked after reinstalling the OS, or exploits are not resolved in Desklamp, etc etc.
