I agree but I think Hibernate is an extreme. There is a middleground, query builders, which enable dynamic query construction (e.g. dynamically appending filter predicates) with reduced cognitive load of something like Hibernate.

I personally was heavily in the camp of "write raw queries ideally with code generation for statically typed/generated code" (as exist in Rust, Go, TypeScript, etc.), but I have since tempered my position since it does become a bit brittle and repetitive. Lately I've been playing with Jooq and it seems great.

There are tradeoffs everywhere though, so with Jooq you still aren't 1-to-1 with raw SQL, there is a bit to learn, but I consider it a worthwhile investment (and a minor one relative to an actual ORM).
I'm not saying this is the case, but if Meta is pivoting towards a metaverse future, it would make sense to slim down on the facebook hires whilst keeping some hiring activity on the metaverse front.
I will pay a $1,000 for CNN video coverage of 250,000,000 Indians protesting the terrible conditions of farmers in India. They were communist mostly fighting for the same things American farmers are fighting and economically struggling with. CNN is propaganda. Hey I wanna make 10k but I will low ball people and still get same result.
So question, did TV have harms on society? If it did, did we get past those harms and how did we get past it.

Every new media in history has had harms and benefits. Saying things are harmless is just as dangerous as yelling it's the end of the world.
Yeah antidotal, but I was doing some tests of an existing Rails app API compared to Hasura (erlang GraphQL server) talking to same DB, and querying same data was like 100x faster in Hasura..

I really hope not. It’s possible the 2010s will be seen as a golden of the TV shows where there was so much competition for eyeballs that many shows were made which otherwise might not have been. Niche demographics seemed catered to which otherwise might not have.

Moving back to Disney owning everything and other channels not being able to compete… that’d be sad. Some people aren’t really excited about super hero shows or Star Wars anymore.
Realistically the second season of Sandman and final season of Stranger Things probably won't materialize until 2024 given how long they take to produce.
Not a matter of getting bored with anything. That extreme will be the literal and actual outcome if the SC rules in favor of the state. NC's contention is exactly that: "to violate the state constitution when drawing congressional maps and that the state courts do not have the power to stop them". And further, that that theory extends to all other state election rules put in place through ballot initiatives, state constitutions, and administrative regulations — including foundational state policies like the processes for voter registration and mail voting and basic guarantees like the secret ballot. That the legislature can change any or all of these without referendum, without ballot, without vetoability, and without review in court, state or federal.

So yeah, that extreme. Because it is extreme.

To be clear. Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu when _combined_ have more customers.

It's important to note that Disney pushes hard for buying these 3 together as a package for a reduced price, therefore basically tripling some customer numbers.

Disney has decades of experience with content that the whole family can enjoy. Netflix has a decade of experience with...AWS

With Netflix you get a mixed bag of Stranger Things + stuff that most folks expect to be dropped after 2 seasons.

When Netflix pivoted into content, they needed to get creatives and passionate people in charge rather than the tech-world PMs they ended up putting in charge.

Disney might not be perfect, but for the MCU and Jon Favreau-adjacent Star Wars stuff, theres a distinct respect for story telling and characters that just totally missing from some of the high budget Netflix stuff.

Properties like MillarWorld just have the soul sucked straight out of them in Netflix's hands
I worked in a startup where one coworker dealt marijuana and also there was marijuana smoking, but usually after normal working hours when most people leave office and only few are left.

I'd say marijuana use is (unfortunately) quite prevalent.
Thing is, by now, we have plenty of languages with macros that let you do things like implement a parallel for-loop as a library - and it doesn't require keeping all your syntax that primitive. It does mean that macros are a bit harder to write, but I would argue that more readable syntax saves more time overall (since you aren't writing macros most of the time).
If this despicable new wave of Twitter users is more immune to advertising than the prior users, I guess that would be a problem

Ask HN: Are you open to sharing your thoughts on the CI/CD Tooling Market?
Note: This post was run by the mod team before posting and they're happy for it to be here.

I'm a Snr-PM at Atlassian who's recently taken over leading Bitbucket Cloud's CI/CD product (Bitbucket Pipelines).

I'm really keen to get a deeper understanding of the key challenges faced by teams that regularly use CI/CD tools today and felt the Hacker News community might be a place where some people with some opinions might be found.

Why should you get involved? Well I'm doing this off my own back so unfortunately I don't have $100 Amazon Gift Cards to throw around.

But I do believe that this community understands that a more competitive DevOps tooling market is a good thing for everyone. It drives innovation and better outcomes for customers of all DevOps products - not just Bitbucket.

So, if you're open to a conversation, come fill out my lovely Google Form and I will be in touch: https://forms.gle/D4ZUQec3S9n4pkbZ9

Childcare agencies are companies that recruit, select, agglomerate, and supervise childcare providers (nannies, babysitters, etc.) so whenever a family needs a childcare service in their home they have a huge network of candidates from which to select. The engagements can vary from just a couple of hours to long-term relationships of years, but what we are aiming at is what is called backup care, "emergency services" just for a couple of hours, which is the most needed service from employees that work on big corps. Now it makes sense?

I think what you are saying about not trying to scale yet makes sense, we want to find at least our first customer to get as much feedback as we want so we can improve our product.

Thanks for your advice!

Not surprising, Disney (plus ESPN and HULU) is bundled with several cell phone plans in the US. I subscribe because it’s “free”.

And Netflix continues its long slide into irrelevance. I’ve was a subscriber for many years, but cut it last month. Too much low-quality programming and it continually recommends shows I’ve watched previously and refuses to allow Apple to index it’s catalog so it appears in alongside other providers inside Apple TV.
I recall reading that Netflix intentionally capped the production of successful shows to avoid overpaying for actors. Actor contracts apparently have predetermined rates for 3-4 seasons, and then must be renegotiated. For a successful show the actors can have immense leverage (see Seinfeld).

Netflix thought they we being smart by doing this, but they may have simply upped their content risk and simultaneously convinced top talent to work with other streamers.
It's crypto, the biggest bubble/ponzi that has ever existed.

> It's a shame that most people only write Ruby in the context of Rails

I fully agree with this! I used to use Rails for a few years (not professionally, FWIW), but didn't enjoy Rails that much. Even though, it's hands down the best "in class" framework, it beats anything in the JS or Python ecosystems (and claiming Django is anything close to Rails is just offensive to Rails).

But anyway, I've yet to find something that's as good as Ruby for daily scripts or task automation. Ruby is one of those few languages you can just read (I can't explain it well), and coming back to old Ruby code, the "wtf is going on here" moments are fairly scarce (sans code that touches metaprogramming/eigenclasses/DSLs, but even then it's more straightforward than in other languages). Lately I tend to just use Fish for most things (which are simple), but still reach for Ruby when the task is a bit more involved. Like, yeah there's Python, but I never liked Python. That's not to say Ruby isn't without any warts, but that's just... Technology, I guess lol.
Elephants often have interesting shapes in medieval art. In some (most?) cases it seems like the artist was likely drawing from someone else's description of the animal since they had never seen one themselves (e.g. #14, #22, #34 and more in the gallery below).

I think we understand eachother then. If there are insurance companies out there that need people to help implement self service, then I think that's an improvement that absolutely needs to be made.

Of course, given that its insurance you will never be able to get rid of the mainframe in all likelihood, but that is also an area that could seriously be improved by anybody willing to try and dig them out of the hole they most likely outsourced themselves into (which is something I have seen a lot of at smaller banks, and I kind of suspect is what you were referring to when referencing borderline scam artist third parties).

You aren't the only one, but this year has seen both streamers take an axe to a lot of their interesting pieces, particularly for kids: Amphibia, Ghost City, The Owl House, Hilda, Baby Sitter's Club, and Kid Cosmic all off the top of my head.
Given just how important content is to streaming services and Netflix's reputation for canceling good shows, this doesn't seem that surprising to me. Especially since rather than focusing on content, Netflix is instead focusing on limiting password sharing, which was never going to give them good PR.

I don't know how you compared using Disney+ to Netflix and came to the conclusion that it's less bloated. In my experience on a Roku, D+ is SLOW, it takes forever to do anything from loading up, just browsing, thumbnails populating, or actually starting a show.
To a large extent, but not completely.

Anyone who has more than the insured amount, or anyone who needs their money in the near future will still engage in a run.

There were several runs during the 2008 crisis, the most famous is the run on IndyMac Bank.

They have less content, but Netflix is seriously full of so much trash content. I've rarely enjoyed a Netflix original movie.
I swear Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan is one of the worst managed funds I've seen. Every time I see buzzy company with little fundamentals, their latest rounds always includes this pension plan.

Can someone explain their positions? Like if they want to move along the risk-reward curve, why not just buy fewer bonds and more ETFs? Why enter VC/crypto/etc?
The streaming services only work if they are "better" than just downloading the content for free. My guess is that music has a much lower barrier, both in terms of availability and in people's tolerance to listen only to parts of a catalogue divided along record company lines, so if only 25% your top 40 (or 90s or whatever) was available on SONY Streaming, you'd just say fuck it and download it.

Somehow, the video landscape has shaken out to have generalist (Netflix,maybe Amazon) and specialty content, not all that different from cable. So people are used to it that way. And come to think of it, radio generally plays music from all record companies, so there is a precedent there too.

With more fragmentation, particularly with Netflix losing it's generalist position and having more self-produced crap, I suspect that downloading movies is going to become viable for more people
Caveat: Disney has three streaming services that they usually sell as a bundle, so if you buy the bundle they count you as three customers.
Netflix does indeed have some “hidden” gems.

But I’d say that HBO takes the cake for unique shows with consistent quality that are - most importantly - allowed to run to completion. My go-to example is The Leftovers. What kind of network would ever greenlight that kind of show, let alone have it run for three whole seasons to its natural conclusion?
I have a theory that people with anxiety (i.e. myself) have a strong mind -> body connection, but in a negative way.

My anxious thoughts lead directly to physiological changes, increased heart rate, shallow breathing, sweating etc. Based on the people in my life without anxiety, they can have similar thoughts as me, even "anxious" in nature, but they don't seem to have the physiological response that I do, as an anxious person. What do you all think?

—————

Former President Donald Trump confirmed Tuesday that he voted for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, predicting a "great night" for Republicans.

"Yes, I did," Trump told reporters when asked if he cast a ballot for DeSantis outside a polling location in Palm Beach where he voted.

"I think we're going to have a very great night and it's exciting," he added.

Trump cast his ballot shortly after 11:30 a.m. ET at the Morton and Barbara Mandel Recreation Center in Palm Beach, just minutes away from his Mar-a-Lago estate where he plans to watch election returns this evening with dozens of aides, allies, and local Republicans. He arrived with former first lady Melania Trump and briefly took questions outside after voting indoors.

The former president's political future may largely depend on Tuesday's midterm outcomes, as he looks for his handpicked and endorsed candidates in key federal and statewide races to prevail. Major losses for Trump-backed candidates could create obstacles for his 2024 presidential campaign, which Trump is eyeing to announce one week from today.

At a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, Trump referred to the Florida governor as “Ron DeSanctimonious.”
It is like $20/mo for all three vs $16/mo for just Netflix. It is a good deal that is hard to beat although I think they are going to start running ads on the $20/mo plan so who knows it it will be a good deal for much longer.

Confusing or just hurtful to the overall agenda? It's perfectly sensible.
Netflix is also doling out shows a few episodes a week to keep people from subscribing, binging, and unsubscribing. That works fine for something like Stranger Things but they're even doing it for shows no one is subscribing to see. Frankly, the ability to binge a show is like decanting a wine or heating sake. It can make a mediocre show a lot better. Taking away that ability should be used with caution.

As a long time subscriber, it's got me thinking about only subscribing a few months a year; since I'd usually rather wait to binge a show anyway...

Why they can't link account age and binge-ability isn't clear to me; guessing something to do with contracts.
I don't know if you cook, so apologies if you do. In my experience, oil and fats are critical to a lot of cooking both as a facilitator - transferring heat, adhering seasonings to surfaces, carrying flavors of other ingredients, and as an ingredient - many of them taste delicious and improve the texture of food. Notably this is a study from China, and the use of oil is integral to cooking with a wok.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. If you haven't tried it, Alprazolam (Xanax) has been a miracle for panic attacks, although these days it's pretty difficult to get from doctors. Modern American society seems to have decided that any medication that can possibly be abused is evil and must not be used even if somebody could really benefit from it. If you get some though, do NOT take it all the time and build a physical dependence. Withdrawing from Benzos is worse than opioids. If you only take it occasionally though you won't have any issues.
Mechanical engineering (I'm an ME) turned out to be very very hard to do as a hobby. Even with a complete machine shop, it takes a loooong time to make something simple, such as a steam engine. My engine finally worked, but the hours expended on it were extensive.

I have the impression, Netflix lived past its prime some years ago.

Back in 2010 it tried new things and was quite affordable.

But it became a run of the mill cabel network, and not even a good one, many shows simply dissapear all the time.
Wait then nobody has any money
I have a hypothesis that these frequencies stimulate bacteria that live in/on you and cause them to modulate some neurotransmitters.

Basically, they like it.
I think its because this is a hobby project and for a lot of people the cheaper a hobby project is the more they can keep running before the money runs out. It's also that for some people optimizing costs and making things run on as few resources as possible is fun.

But if you don't find it fun spending time performance optimizing to the extreme, and can afford it, then there's nothing quite like massively over-provisioning hardware. It makes a lot of performance and reliability problems go away.
I don't think that's a fair take. A lot of people don't want to hire activists for roles that aren't activist roles.
Hopefully this will remain now that HBO has changed hands. HBO quality is really second to none in shows for you know, adults.
Great idea about the events! I think that at Christmas this could be huge because that time of the year is usually when all the after-hours events start.
This is the actual court decision. There are lots of pundits commenting on this. The decision is a better read than the punditry.

It's a simple decision. Crypto offerings are a security if they meet the Howey test. LBRY does, per this decision. The judge says that anything that was "premined", or the promotors got some value up front, is a security. That excludes Bitcoin, but little else in the crypto space. This is the same standard applied to other investments.

The crypto community is freaking out.

Re: Hate speech

> We felt there is a risk our advertising would appear next to the wrong messages.

A totally reasonable concern when it comes down to it. Advertisers are not meant to be your partner in saying any old thing you want. Especially if it's a "hold my beer" free speech burn-in test moment.

And it's a problem that seems very solvable, especially with a multifaceted approach.

If this helps Elon get out of the self-consideration zone for his own subjective speech passions/desires (which is what this is really about), and actively discussing solutions with advertisers, all the better for everybody...maybe they could even afford to pause some layoffs
It doesn't, but if it isn't, then it shouldn't claim to be responsive.

Being responsive is nice for usability because then the site can adapt to any screen/window size. However, in my opinion, it is also fine if the site can adapt to the most common screen/window sizes.

Right now I see you have two artboards in the illustrator file, one for mobile and one for desktop. I think you should at least have another two for half-desktop and tablet. Widescreen should be considered too but for that you can just center the desktop artboard on the page.

I'm not sure what to do regarding zoom though. Ideally it would allow you to change the size of the content while still ensuring the content fits on the page so you don't have to scroll horizontally. However, I don't think that's achievable in this case without making artboards for each zoom level. I guess you could just do zoom and pan?
