In the meantime my preferred technique is to have a column where I stamp the last generation time for each row and then I rebuild anything that’s changed since then (assuming all your source data has some sort of last updated stamp).
And when it becomes a huge challenge from a budgeting standpoint, you need appropriate administrative staff to figure this out.
The internal version number is just that: an internal number, maybe useful for developers making a check. To quote the great Raymond Chen [0]:

> Poseurs will call Windows versions by their programmatic version numbers. For example, they will call Windows Vista “NT6” and Windows 7 “NT6.1”. Trust me, nobody on the Windows team calls the products by their programmatic version numbers. Whenever anybody says “NT6” I have to go to Wikipedia and look up what they’re actually talking about. If I even care to bother, and usually I don’t.

Compared to $8 billion missing funds, the bail is a slap on the wrist. I wouldn't be surprised if he disappears.
I think much of this is explained at a high level in this talk from the original game designer: Pitfall Classic Postmortem With David Crane Panel at GDC 2011 (Atari 2600). https://youtu.be/MBT1OK6VAIU

I haven't seen it in a while (will rewatch now), but I remember him going over how he was able to create so many levels in such a tiny space. I love these sorts of examples of breakthrough tech products that were the result of a developer figuring out how to do something that seemed impossible. Much of Apple's early success, for example, could be attributed to this.
Good luck getting CZ extradited to the US.

> Pumped hydro works if you have mountains, valleys you can flood, and dams.

This falsehood has been corrected numerous times on HN. It need not be repeated.

Pumped hydro is in no wise dependent on any of those. All it needs is a hill. Even England has hills. Even Australia has hills. The Netherlands are in Europe, which has hills.

Another falsehood is that "you need to vastly overbuild". This too has been frequently corrected. We use, today, NG for backup. We will have no need to demolish any of that infrastructure, even after storage is built. Overbuilding renewables to charge storage makes compelling economic sense, just because it is so cheap, but the NG backup remains. Eventually, synthetic fuels will be cheaper, for such occasions, imported from solar farms in the tropics.

So, renewables have no such "single point of failure". This falsehood need not be repeated.

Finally, pumped hydro and batteries are just two of numerous practical storage technologies being deployed. Their round-trip efficiency is of minimal importance when they are charged from free surplus. Storage with NG backup provides fully ample 100% service with exactly zero "constant base production" needed or wanted.
Many dance communities have dropped gendered roles and it's fun to learn and dance both. The folk dances seemed to migrate first and it's pretty common in most dances I've been to (contra, ceili, square, lindy, blues/fusion, waltz, salsa rueda). Other styles and locales have been a bit slower, mostly on the locale side. In gender-free dances there's now a quick negotiation around lead/follow preferences when first asking someone to dance.
I work for a financial company. The closer you get to the money, the more status you're expected to display. They expect you to have a BMW, Tesla, or similar. They expect you to hire a guy to perform any manual labor. They expect that you have a nice house in a nice area.

If you don't have these things, you're looked down on and people assume you aren't successful/skilled. Just projecting the image is enough to push some people into a promotion.
What fraction of the bail is the home equity from his parents? Not likely more than $25mil there.

words of wisdom, no idea who is downvoting this
Cookie law wasn't lame. Regardless of what kind of law you crafted, the corporations that are used to skirting the law, especially in the US legal landscape, would try to dodge the law by any means possible. Ranging from having people 'consent' to the cookie through tos, or by making it difficult to reject. BOTH of which are prohibited by law. They were prohibited exactly to prevent skirting the law.

So basically every cookie prompt that makes you take more than one click to reject or says "You consent to this -> Yes" is in violation of the law and they will get fined if they are reported.
Has anyone done a survey of founders, age of start, their number of companies until success, age at success, their income, and their familial net worth? Because it's a lot easier to "stare into the abyss" when failure has survivable outcomes.
What's your point and why is that surprising? This is what they do. MLK wouldn't have much to do if there was no injustice to fight. He was fighting laws which by definition are meaningless without enforcement (FBI) and be was not trying to change things from within the system (because he can't really).

But then he won and the country changes, democrats are no longer racist people and southerners (at least not any democrat majority) and along with that many laws changed so now you can expect the FBI of today to support and protect MLK.

But if you find injustice in the laws of today, get noticed enough and they will be on you like a fat kid on cake. Excerpt now, they are more sophisticated and tech has made their job both harder and easier in scary ways.

It is a function of law enforcement to especially enforce unjust laws and orders be because those are the ones that need the most enforcement.
Do you have any reliable statistics showing that there were surplus deaths? Most of the research I've read showed ~1,500 deaths - mostly among aged 75+ people - over 6 months out of a cohort of 300,000 people. This is not a surplus over normal death rates.
Why does this system even exist? Grad students shouldn't even really be students, but rather junior level employees who can switch employer at will if they get better offers.
I perceive this as:

- There is always a need for low-level programming, and there is not as much development of new languages, abstractions, frameworks, and libraries in the low-level space. Indeed, most of the time you don't want any abstraction, framework or library between you and the low level thing you want to do.

- In the high-level programming space, there is a never ending race to climb higher and higher in the software stack. As such, all frameworks tend to be obsolete faster. Either it is replaced by the new high level hotness, or it gets stuck as a middle-level somewhere, below the new hotness.

Because of that, low level things don't become outdated as fast.
If we are headed towards a post-labor society (which I doubt, but that’s a different topic), the first thing we need to do is radically reconsider how our society thinks about property and wealth. Otherwise, we’ll have a small class of property holding aristocrats and everyone else is screwed.

I’ve tried doing my passion by doing two startups and also going into finance and since hindsight is 20/20 a good reason why I think I should have actually went into finance first and or even going into consulting as a technical person in a large Fortune 500 is that budgeting of projects and planning of software to meet budgets is much clearer to me now and management of time to find a solution would have informed me much better than doing the startups first.

Also I could have started saving money for another startup instead of incurring credit card debt.
Surfacing Required Knowledge (2021)
No you don’t have to. When you share it, it creates a message with a link and brings up a share sheet controlled by iOS. You can then send the message block with the link either via email, text, or any other relevant third party app that registers a share extension.

It is all done outside of the apps process. iOS sends the message on the apps behalf to the other app.

There is no option to share your contact with the app.

Blood Sisters: Menstrual Cups Help Keep Kenyan Girls in School (2017)
It really depends on the PR. Most do get merged fairly quickly (same day) but some where there's more discussion can stay open for several days or even a week.

All of our codebases have some level of automated testing that runs when the PR is created. That could be unit tests of a single function or Playwright tests which exercise an UI flow. What those tests are dependent on the type of software and the team building it.

The preview environment links that are generated when the PR is open are given to QA, Design, and Product to take a look at. Not every one of those roles review every PR, it really depends on the task. But if their feedback is required, they'll give it at this stage.

Probably worth mentioning at this point that we have separate repos for each web application and service. It's service oriented but not microservices, services at our company encapsulate a relatively large domain and it's similar with web applications, right now each web application has its own subdomain.

So PR gets merged, the pipeline will deploy that code to staging. At this point the service owners have the option to define a set of integration tests, not every repo has them but it is an option to run them. If those tests fail we do a rollback. If those tests pass (or if they didn't have any defined) then a second deployment to production is triggered.

All of our deploys are blue-green, so no downtime except for the occasional blocking database migration in which we have to schedule downtime. User facing features on the web applications are all required to be released first behind a feature flag. For those there will be several releases behind a feature flag, then we'll flip the flag first in staging. We'll have Product and QA do a complete run through and make sure they're okay with everything, then the "real" release happen when we flip the feature flag in production (no deployment needed).

Every night we clone the production database, sanitize it (swapping out things like names, phone numbers, etc.) then point staging to that clone. Then we run an end to end regression test that goes through all of the happy path flows for all of our apps.
It’s really not that difficult to automate it over helm or something. All you need is a registry, and most cloud services provide a registry, even GitHub has one.

Routing domains to a container shouldn’t be significantly different to doing it in production.
> They planned a mass murder, but settled for selfies in the rotunda?

While they didn't plan to murder the whole Congress it is clear that they intended to attempt to coerce Congress to act to install Trump despite the election results using force and threats of force, including deadly force, against at least key actors (including, but not limited to, the Vice President), and that the reason they did not is that they, in several instances narrowly, and in one case through application of lethal force, were prevented from reaching their targets.
I don’t think it’s useful to look at the FBI through a racial lens. It has consistently murdered and oppressed people of all races and creeds from its very beginning. It’s not even altogether clear the FBI was founded legally.

We’re talking about an organization that spied on FDRs political enemies for solely political reasons and then leaked the results of those investigations to discredit his opponents. The same FBI that conducted mass wiretappings, break-ins, extortions, blackmail, murder, and, lots not forget the tried and true tactic of “infiltrating” groups, plying them with goodies and arms and then persuading them to go commit violence, then arresting them.

They’ve done this to anti-war activists, communists, right-wing extremists, Muslims, libertarians, white supremacists, weirdo cultists, and racial equality activists. And normal people who got in their way, or who were just plain unfortunate. And they almost always get away with it.

And they haven’t stopped, either.

If the FBI can be said to have a “ideology”, it’s not white supremacy. It’s the defense of the managerial elite and their status quo, and utter conviction in their rightness to do whatever it takes. And they are just about as beyond effective political control as the CIA.
Hi Grustaf,

Ryan here at YC. I help build YC’s workatastartup.com, and also work with companies to help them find great people for their teams. Part of that includes teaching them to hire well -- communicating clear expectations, having fair/reasonable questions, paying for the interviewee's time, and hiring when they’re in a good position to do so.

What you experienced sounds incredibly frustrating. Sorry that you went through that. I don’t know the details on the company side, and the market is obviously pretty bad. But that still shouldn’t be a catch-all excuse for you having a bad experience.

If you’re open to it, would love to connect live and learn more about what happened. And I’m also happy to make intros to founders/companies that might be a better fit -- especially ones that are in a strong economic position to do so.

My email is ryan AT ycombinator.com if you’d like to connect. Hope to hear from you, and help if I can.

Wait. Only a few days ago he declared he had less than 100k on his bank account and now he forks out 250m? It's hard to believe anything else he said.
I had a similar commute. 45min to the train, 1h20m on the train, 20min shuttle, 5min walk. On the reverse, the drive could be 45min or 90min.

I left the house at 4am to get to the gym near the train station by 5am, grab the 6:30 train, get to the office around 9am, leave at 4:30, be home around 7 or 8. Have dinner and repeat 5 days a week for 6 years. Then started two days remote for a couple years. Eventually shifted to an earlier train and counted my hours on the train for work when I could. Would get home by 5 or 6. Then went full remote.

On the train, worked, studied, or listened to audible.
Many years ago a customer on a single core computer had problems of heavy video stutter in my product. It was multithreaded and ran as I recall 5 threads (GUI, video decoding, 3d pipeline, device control and computation). Others did not have this problem. After investigation it turned out that said customer had hyperthreading disabled in BIOS. Enabling it fixed the problem instantly.

So "real" or not but from my experience HT does work to the benefit.
EBR II, FFTF and some Russian reactors have a very good record for reliability. Moju, Superphenix, not so much.

> This is a very neglected area of piano pedagogy. It also relates to the great difficulty of most chamber works for piano.

You are SO right. I really wish that modern composers would come up with a bunch of chamber stuff that actually sounds good (i.e. like real baroque/classical/romantic music) but isn't incredibly difficult. I have never once played in a chamber ensemble as a pianist, and I was up to about the level of the easier Beethoven sonatas by the time I "quit" and started focusing on guitar. All of my favorite chamber piano pieces (Mendelssohn piano trios, Schubert Trout Quintet, Brandenburgs, etc.) would require 2-5 years of intense daily practice to even play a movement at speed with mistakes.

> Trust me, there’s a near infinite variety of ways to sound awful

Yeah, yeah, okay, fair enough. But I'd bet that the biggest improvement most of them could make right off the bat would be keeping time properly. (Maybe not if you're on a wind instrument and can only honk.)
The road to serfdom and the constitution of liberty by fa hayek. Really nails home why the individual is the moat important organizational block of society and how to protect that. Why nations fail and the narrow corridor by daron acemoglu were also excellent and gave more practical ideas on how to make institutions that work well (and also protect individuals). Wanting by luke burgis was also a really good jntro to rene girards ideas that like drive social interraction.
His ex-girlfriend and CEO of Alameda really put the nail in the coffin. Turned on him for 250K$ bail, forfeiture of all assets and basically no prosecution (except some taxes) as long as she co-operates. Probably dropped the entire playbook of Sam and made the case irrefutable and ironclad.

Who would do that if not than an YC-backed aspiring unicorn in an hustling environment ?

Also a month long ? For a startup without money ? How many more arguments do you want to see it for what it is ?
BNB and FTT exist(ed) so their exchanges can raise/create a lot of money. It's a little similar to why stocks exist, which is why they are clearly securities.
Ideas such as spend $800k on parking lot shade structures and then attach $200k of solar are inferior compared to buying some pasture land for $4000 and installing $996k of solar panels. Are we trying to solve CO2 emissions or is it more important that you get to see the panels every time you shop at CostCo?
I've suspected for a while that companies with long, drawn-out hiring processes are using the delay to see if someone better (for some definition of "better") will come along.

In the current market, you are probably right about the problem being the funding situation; most companies in general, and startups (I suppose) specifically, are desperately bad about foreseeing bad outcomes. There's a hefty bias there.

On the other hand, I guess you just have to keep looking for a job until you get an actual commitment---don't stop because you might have one.
This looks interesting. Didn't know that there was API available.
The issue is that, to put things in 1NF, you need to fully normalize everything, which has a big performance penalty since every query now has to JOIN a large number of tables together.

Of course, an RDBMS could be designed to do that without a performance penalty, by storing data in a denormalized form and automatically translating queries for the normalized data accordingly.

But SQL doesn't have the features you'd need to control and manage that sort of transparent denormalization. So you'd end up having to extend SQL to support it properly so that the performance penalty in question could be mitigated in all cases.

edit: Rather than "you need to fully normalize everything," I should have said "you need to split all your data across multiple tables to eliminate the need for structured data within records." The performance penalty happens when you need to do this everywhere for sufficiently complex datasets.

It's even worse that that. As interest rates rise, equities generally fall as they have been as they need to compete with interest bearing assets so their costs are skyrocketing and their collateral is collapsing risking them for a margin call and loosing everything.
Interesting. One quirk of browsing sites with JS disabled is that the cookie banners rarely show up. Often, they are implemented as scripts loaded from a site like "cookielaw.org".

I've long suspected that these sites default to dropping cookies when my consent is neither asked for nor received, as MS appears to have done here.

It's good to hear that such behavior is probably illegal in the EU.
