Haha just leave off the part of the story where it humiliates someone else. Anyway you should take cash over credit any day. Credit can be taken in the most brazen ways by those with more political power in the org and all you can do about it is bloody some noses, not a great reputation builder. You must know that whether people admit it or not, they know who did the lions share and its an invisible card in your back pocket but to exercise it takes tact and stones. An alternative way to frame your story is that your solution was immediately validated by greybeards and effortlessly extended!! ;-)
I kind of liked them when they first started popping up. But after you've seen a handful of them, you realize that they're basically just powerpoint presentations.
Interesting point about the corn belt moving. Having a rough look at temperature isotherms and the location of the corn belt, it looks like it will take > 10F of warming to move it to the Canadian border. So it will likely only become an issue if we fail to address climate change this century.

Seems a bit chicken-and-egg there.
I’ve discovered the joy that is the dadish series thanks to steam deck.
The Secret Life of Trees. It's exactly what's written on the tin. I have lots of notes and I can't wait to go in the forest to look at trees.

Does any such academic study exist for any editor comparison? Since according to you these are "literally the job of people" and "standard UX research stuff".

This seems like a classic case of setting the bar arbitrarily high to stifle discussion - I cannot find any, but would love to be proven wrong.
Can somebody explain how they determined it was schooling itself, and not just aging, that improved intelligence each year? I tried to read this but I found it denser than the average paper.
Obviously Proton is a big part of the Steam Deck's success, but I firmly believe it would be a flop if it weren't for Steam's input mapping tools. I can play so many games that are keyboard+mouse only because of mapping hotkeys.
Do you mean for the use cases in the article or in general? It certainly is big but it is a remarkable device and works exceptionally well. I'm shocked how well Valve did (just in general, they nailed it and are executing well). I bring the SD a bunch of places, quick resume is awesome, the screen is great, powering games isn't an issue. I suspect it may get smaller later but even the Switch now seems too small and there are lots of add-ons to extend it so your hands aren't cramped up.
This is one of the rare books I consider required reading for everyone
If I had to pick one book from 2022, I would definitely go with Carlo Rovelli’s “The Order of Time” https://amzn.to/3W4PdVG

In the book, Rovelli explores the concept of time and how it has been understood by scientists and philosophers throughout history. An intellectually stimulating and not overly technical read about the concept of a universe without time and some of the latest developments in Loop Quantum Gravity (Rovelli’s field of work).

I also have a blog post on my Top 10 books from last year: https://medium.data4sci.com/top-10-books-we-read-in-2022-c3d...
Yes! I taught myself C on Lattice C (later SAS/C) on an A500 with 3 megs of RAM and a 30 meg drive. That was a killer system back in 1990. I had a 2400 baud modem at the time, later upgraded to 9600 and felt like king of the nerds.

You are right. It is folly to people who don't have the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth. There are some people ready to believe and I'm hoping to be ready for them.

I see you became a Christian a couple of years ago. Welcome! I will pray that you learn and grow in your faith
I am about halfway through Journey to the Abyss: The Diaries of Count Harry Kessler 1880-1918. Kessler was an extremely well-traveled and well-connected person and his diaries follow him through ±1900-era Mexico, Japan, India, and then back in Europe amongst figures like Rodin, Nietzsche, Verlain, and others. It's a super interesting read if you're interested in turn of the century art and culture, and also for a behind-the-scenes look at the German upper class perspective of World War I.
I enjoyed "The Third Policeman" by Flann O'Brien, an author who died in the 60s but who had been completely unknown to me until this year. It's a short and very surreal novel, with an Irish dark tongue-in-cheek sense of humor.
The old style hard black plastic with the striped metal collar in the middle took a nosedive in quality about 10 years ago. As another comment mentioned I don’t even get a 50% good rate brand new.

The newer all plastic models are far more similar to what those used to be and I have a few going on 8 or 9 years of off and on use that are great.

Exactly, so its time to adapt.

The swage system can't handle extra rain? Time for an infrastructure upgrade.

Getting too hot? Time to accept the new reality and remove stupid laws banning or taxing AC, the East has been living on ACs for ages, its OK.

Support relocating homes in danger of landslides, and also support the new farms made possible from the warmer temperatures.

> Nevertheless, things are not completely hopeless. According to a new report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), we can still halt the rate of global warming.

> But to do so we must implement comprehensive changes to our society, according to the IPCC. We must change everything from our eating habits to how we build our cities.

Because this ain't happening and Climate change isn't going to stop any time soon.

For example I know that some e-commerce sites adjust their prices by using web scrapers. They scrape their competitors' sites and always offer products to 1 USD less than the competitor to make more sales.

I think this should violate competition law, but it somehow doesn't.

The point is that I can't convince someone who doesn't see violet that there are 7 colors in a rainbow just by telling him there are.

I've experienced some pretty eerie stuff myself but the onus is on me to prove it happened. Fortunately for me there are physical manifestations of the phenomenon but the medical corps either doesn't have the tooling or the research direction to properly study it.

They are just happy giving people some medications.
Fortunately for me, I don't need any and can function normally.

That's why appeal to authority is bad (PhDs and MDs are far from knowing much, one should realize, but that goes for your guru, religious figure as well).
However I understand what you mean. No one is discarding experience. One might discard the exactitude of the conclusions derived from the experience however.
That's the part that needs more proof.
I don't recall us discussing that before.

You can have named pipelines which basically become CTEs, like

table employees_usa = (from employees | filter country=='USA')

but ultimately there is usually just one "main" pipeline/query per file/input.

Because PRQL only targets queries / DQL at the moment, I'm not sure what the sense multiple pipelines per file would be at this point.

You're welcome to open an issue or start a discussion on the Github repo about your use case though, we'd love to hear about it!
The language is very dramatic and sensational. It just feels more like propaganda to me than a scientific opinion. The reality is seldom this clean. This doesn't even pretend to entertain other opinions.
I've not dug into the primary research on this particular aspect, but I seem to recall reading in a second source at least something to the effect that physical size of the neurons is also a factor!
Thanks for buying my book! I think you’ll do just fine with your doctor. If you want to chat about that, please send me an email :)
I did something similar when I figured out XSLT was for more than just front-end stuff. And I was working with Oracle as the database too; these enterprise code bases acquire huge amounts of often poorly written SQL and it feels like making at least some of the repeated queries DRY would help - but later you realize the people who need to maintain this system when you're gone are the same people who came up with the spaghetti queries in the first place.

I've heard this argument before but there are plenty of remote, sparsely populated places in England (e.g. Dartmoor, the Peak District). Yes, wild camping in more densely populated areas might be a problem, and England has more of those due to its higher population density, but similar places would in practice be off-limits in Scotland too.

You are getting into a metaphor I saw here on HN some years back: "The Paint Drip" model of skilling.

The more you paint over a spot, the more it drips as paint accumulates. The things you spend the most time on, have the longest drips. Some may be in a T-shape, but as you say, there may be many longish drips in a person's skillset.

For the first 10 years of my career, I was more T-shaped. But also pretty good at jumping in and figuring things out.

I'm now a lot more "generalist" - I just tell people, "Try me; who knows what I'll know or be able to figure out". I still have some of those really long drips in my paint drip chart, a few really really long, but the nature of tech means that at some point, some tech you learned really well is dead and you'll never need to use it again. Such is life!
Then share your opinion, share your evidence, explain and Your thinking instead of providing a dumb analogy that gets people debating the nuances of the ANALOGY instead of the actual issue.

Sometimes it sucks to be T-shaped. Imposter syndrome kicks in all of the time :)

Yep, that’s me to a tee. I’ve from a young age felt like I was “Jack of all trades, ace of none.” At first it bothered me, but then I realized it could be a strength. I may not get awards, but I can solve all sorts of problems well enough. Do that long enough and you excel somewhat at least on some things.

A challenge for me I don’t see listed is I find it hard to empathize with non-wildcards. If I run across an IT person stuck doing something “because that’s how we always do”, or “xyz is too hard to learn”, or unwilling to learn something new, it bugs me. I try to be kind and realize it takes all sorts of people, but I may think mean things about them :). Sometimes I also go too hard for the new and shiny over tried and true.
I’m already familiar with this “age”, but I still thought the same when I saw the title.
My best nonfiction read was The 1619 Project. It's a heavy read, but I highly recommend it. The runner up would be Christian Livermore's We Are Not OK.

Best fiction read was Tim Winton's Breath or (there's probably some recency bias at play here) Sebastian de Castel's Traitor's Blade.

I also read a few comic books. I love the East of West series (at least the first three books).
Are you implying most companies have 37 profiles? Even this article was giving multiple examples or a little Web shop that probably has less profiles than 7.
It does. More things than not are better off to default to "an active law". Individual laws might benefit from auto-sunsets, but some of these already have sunsets, it's not a new concept. The general budget runs out, and relatively few things can continue to be paid out (including the national debt servicing!) automatically. But look at that shitshow every time the budget is getting close to expiring. I'm not sure having more of those shitshows every year is a good idea at all. Getting old and stupid laws off the books is indeed a noble cause, but not this way.
Luckily for me I've never received any formal training in programming back in school. My introduction to programming happened in University and research labs in a very simple way - I needed to process and interpret some experimental data live and the only way I could do it was a computer. So I got me a user guide for particular one and bunch of books. In a few days I was already coding away. In exactly the same way I was introduced to electronics. Had to make some equipment for my research as you could not by one. Started with machine codes but over the time I've used many languages including Pascal from Borland. Programming was far from my main job but at some point I switched from science to creating commercial products as I was good at it. Some products I own and some I develop for clients. Most of products are ether pure software or contain some good chunk of it so I am still happily coding away even though I am 60 already.
You make a lot of claims and sprinkle some rhetoric but I notice you don't actually provide any sources for your claims. Nor does it appear as though your claims are falsifiable.

The suicide part of assisted suicide is like watching a man on fire jump out of a burning building. Sin? Mistake? Wrong? I don't know, I might think so but I'm not the man on fire and I don't want to pretend like I am.

The assisted part is someone pushing a man on fire off of a building. It might seem odd looked at rationally (What the heck, the man might have jumped on his own.) but I still feel comfortable saying there's something wrong here. I can't believe the only or best response is to shove him off. If by some horrible confluence of events then I would be putting all future efforts towards figuring out a better way to deal humanely with the same situation in the future not putting a set of long sticks on the rooftop so that future pushers would have a smaller chance of getting burned.
Why would an average rather than max make any sense?
"How Intelligence Happens" was a pretty good read.
Fiction:
- Lost Children Archive by Valeria Luiselli: mixes the personal and political so skillfully
- The Magician by Colm Tóibín: Thomas Mann, the German, author is the main character. Shows our own moment in history in relief.

Non-Fiction, work:
- The Pragmatic Programmer, 20th Anniversary Edition by David Thomas, Andrew Hunt: I’m not a programmer and still found this one of the most useful books I read this year.
- Working Backwards by Colin Bryar, Bill Carr: The Amazon/Bezos love choked me a couple of times but I’ve put in practice some of what learned in this book to good effect.

Non-Fiction, history:
- Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin by Timothy D. Snyder: This is a hard book to read. Not slow hard. Terrifying and apocalyptic and true hard. Gives a lot of context to current events.
- The Enemy of All Mankind by Steven Johnson: Pirates. The seafaring kind.
Generally, I can't watch most shows or films set in the 80s because they get so many things wrong or add in things from a later date. The things that almost every show or movie set in that time get wrong is how bad the economy was for anyone that wasn't in finance or adjacent industries. If you were a factory worker in Indiana in the 80s then you likely have been laid off half the time and worked odd jobs (Same with folks anywhere else in the midwest and great plains). Stranger Things implies this with Winona Ryder's character in parts of season 1 and 2 but mostly they seem to hide the grueling poverty of the 80s under the happy face side of things (I guess the mundane horrors of capitalism is too much for some writers).
Yeah, that part will be sad for sure.

The programming advice is good for productivity, but learning new things is fun too, and sometimes it becomes the best option afterwards. To add (personally), don't use new fads in a production setting or when productivity is critical, but if it's for fun or exploration, I think it's all good.

I use vim (mediocre with) for my side projects, but VS Code (proficient with) at work, for example.
The complaint is that it is a little too "on point" to be a serious discussion that weighs multiple angles. These are journalists determined to convey a particular point. It does not mean they are wrong. It just means it is not credible journalism.
A very clear difference, for example, exists between by the two versions of his genealogy in Matthew 1:2-17 vs. Luke 3, 23-28. The Wikipedia article on the "Passion of Jesus" has a section about the "differences between the canonical Gospels": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passion_of_Jesus#Differences_b... Also the narratives about his resurrection differ in the details. And there are a lot of minor differences between individual stories. The "famous" Lord's Prayer is only included in Matthew and Luke, not in Mark and John. The version from Luke is shorter, especially in some early manuscripts (later manuscripts seem to have included the "missing" parts from Matthew and harmoniszed the versions).

If you want to study the differences between the gospels you may use a so-called "synopsis", that presents equivalent text passages from the different gospels next to each other. For example this color-coded one, that make it easy to spot differences: https://sites.google.com/view/biblestudyresources/gospels/co...

Another interesting difference in the New Testament concerns the text of the Acts of the Apostles. To quote from Wikipedia: "There are two major textual variants of Acts, the Western text-type and the Alexandrian. The oldest complete Alexandrian manuscripts date from the 4th century and the oldest Western ones from the 6th, with fragments and citations going back to the 3rd. Western texts of Acts are 6.2–8.4% longer than Alexandrian texts, the additions tending to enhance the Jewish rejection of the Messiah and the role of the Holy Spirit, in ways that are stylistically different from the rest of Acts." -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acts_of_the_Apostles#Manuscrip...

You get this problem with any sufficiently tall sandwich of abstractions. SQLAlchemy has a query builder, the DSL is easily directly translatable to actual SQL statements in your head. But since you have the full power of Python at your disposal, it gets quite convenient to abstract away some of the boilerplate. And then some of the common parameters. And then some more stuff, just for good measure.

Then you try to bite the sandwich, and half the ingredients go sideways: change one parameter, and the generated SQL can look wildly different, etc.

I still think DSLs are superior to macros though; a smart DSL transformer will catch a whole class of errors, while a macro engine like M4 could happily spit out garbage with syntax errors.

Goodreads recommendations are decent; I can often find at least one related book I’ll want to read from a book I’ve read. My problem is exactly the opposite as yours: I can’t read books as fast as my backlog grows! Most of my recommendations come from Goodreads, discussions on HN, or one or two reader friends who make recommendations I like.

Oftentimes the books I read cover only part of a very large topic, and this leads me to seek out books covering the rest; for instance, I do not expect my interests in political/societal structure and economics will ever stop yielding new books to read.
the only advantage over docker that I see is that it doesnt require the overlay fs stuff docker has, but the downside of this is that it doesnt keep its own state. It seems to use system state, such as any global configuration, caches, etc.

I prefer docker compose, simply because its fully reproducible, no matter where I am, and sets up all the tools it uses.

This tools looks like it still requires you to install your tooling - that screams like it will break if you have different distros you run this on, with different versions of tools, etc.
