>In reality, the ORM leads to poor DB design and even poorer techniques.

This may be true of the code-to-db type of mapping (where your table definitions are in code and then used to forward-generate the actual database tables) but there is also the possibility of generating an ORM from your database and its relations. I think the real benefit of an ORM is that it's reducing the amount of boilerplate code needed to be manually written in a project.
Not exactly.

This feels like an ad. The author created a tool that makes it easy to ditch ORMs. The tool is referenced 10 times in the article, including the article's first sentence and the last sentence. The article also includes examples on how to use the tool.

I'd be fine if it was a "show hn" post. But I thought this is an objective article about ORMs and their pros and cons; this is not the case.

Great question - Problematic data-points are essentially the cases where your model is not performing well.

Now, we have three ways to find them:

1. Statistical tools: We perform clustering on your training dataset and identify cases in production which are far away from all the training clusters (the idea is that if the given data-point is out-of-distribution, model may not perform well and may require retraining)

2. User Feedback: Based on the user behaviour, we infer Ground Truth. For ex: In case of recommendation systems, GT = if user likes the video. In case of ChatGPT3, GT = 0 if we see user asking the same question in multiple ways etc. We use such signals to identify cases where the user is not satisfied with the model output

3. Rule-based Signals: Many times, data scientists and ML engineers have a good idea about where their models are not performing well. These insights can be developed by analysing user feedback or manually testing their models. We allow them to define rule-based signals to filter out any interesting cases which they like to test or retrain their models upon
Whether or not it is my "right", firing me absolutely hurts me and my family, and and advocating for it does too. Nothing about that is a mischaracterization.
No. Classical fallacy: not using an ORM does NOT mean writing raw SQL strings. You can still use a library that helps will all the SQL specifics and even checks your schema for you at compile-time and help you abstract over common logic/operations.

> That one is simple. The US for example has at-will employment, no mandatory paid time off...

I think they were more talking about the impact on strikes in terms of foreign direct investment - where there is definetly a link (albeit i'm not sure how strong).

If you are choosing where to locate an international manufacturing plant within Europe for instance, the strength of unions in each country is 100% a factor which will be considered in determining where to locate the factory (not the sole factor - but it's absolutely a consideration).
Yes. Allegations without even a crime to charge are enough to take your career away and all of your Constitutional rights. If the accusation is bad enough, the Government can use it as justification to conduct a summary execution against you.

There is a difference between community justice and law enforcement justice. It used to be that most people understood your life should not be taken away without a trial. Courts are the best place we have to determine truth and guilt.

Over the past decade or more there has been a change where people stopped caring about due process. It's like a digital form of burning witches at the stake. Because let's be honest, almost anyone can be cancelled without even being arrested and there is a good chance that person doesn't have the resources to survive without employment.

This probably doesn't apply to someone like Justin Roiland who will probably be fine eventually... But they should wait for a conviction before taking his ability to earn money and live freely away.

TLDR; being cancelled is in effect a death penalty for many.

EDIT: In this case, atleast they waited until he was charged. That should be the standard in many cases.
Thank you for this human-generated connection [I can still safely and statistically presume].

I already know personally how incredible and what GPT-like systems are capable, and I've only "accepted" this future for about six weeks. Definitely having to process multitudes (beyond technical) and start accepting that prompt engineering is real and that there are about to be more jobless than just losing the trucking industry to AI [largest employer of males in USA] — this is endemic.

The sky is falling. The sky is also blue (this is the stupidest common question GPT is getting right now; instead ask "Why do people care that XYZ is blue/green/red/white/bad/unethical?"
Given their webassembly sqlite function support and other changes, the advantage would seem to be that you're most of the way there to being able to provide "serverless" databases. Have a proxy handle auth, spin up an instance if it's not running/shut it down after a while, and add syncing of changes to/from object storage, and you're there.
> database design

How does an ORM help with that in any way? Are there any ORMs that will normalize your data model and write apropriate constraints? If so I _have_ been under a rock.
I find it hard to believe there's enough of a population of Seventh-Day Adventists to actually say they have lower rates of prion disease.

Prion disease incidence is 1 to 2 cases per million people per year. You'd have to have millions of 7th day adventists submitting to research to be able to assert that with any confidence.
Nothing wrong with free association of people though. Unionization is also an example of free association: people coming together to maximize leverage and minimize power imbalances.

This approach is definitely swimming against the tide with Django. I’ve spent a lot of time with Django, and a lot of time trying to work out how to best build complex systems with it. I don’t think that for Django’s case the answer is anything close to being as simple as “don’t let the models go anywhere”, unfortunately. Though I am really intrigued to try it and see how it goes.
I'm really happy you're enjoying it. Thanks for the kind words. Will be looking into your suggestion.
I mainly meant that it's not a durable physical entity. It's fictitious in that it only exists as thought-stuff in all of our heads.
- Read up on LFP. their cycle counts are far higher. and newer high density stuff is coming to market that competes with NMC chemistries from just a few years ago, and they are safer and more stable chemically, so less safety systems, so any density difference gets made up at the pack level

- replacement battery costs will probably drop a LOT in the next ten years. that quoted cost is $200/kWh, but Tesla is at $100/kWh (possibly less). That is a hell of a markup, probably reflects battery supply prioritization to new cars (Tesla gets more money if you buy a new Tesla rather than keep an old one running). So lets not treat this as some permanent condition. Sodium Ion batteries should stabilize at somewhere around $50/kWh I would guess, especially if they can get them close to 200 wh/kg, which is on the roadmap. And in 5-10 years there will be some solid state, sodium-sulfur, or lithium-sulfur battery that is even cheaper.

- Gas turbines still externalize their carbon emissions aka they don't pay for them. When will that madness change? Who knows. Another example of false economics. The only way I see gas turbines as a good thing is if it keeps the oil wells from burning off their excess methane for absolutely no benefit.

Maybe you are some astroturfer or not, but it is really frustrating talking about energy policy over the next 5-10 years and counterarguments are:

- this guy for this car got charged this price this one time anecdote that you know perfectly well is not representative of future costs and availability

- dude, lets burn more fossil fuels, it's "cheaper", which you know it really isn't

- let's talk about essentially outmoded chemistries and their problems, and ignore both current ones and ones that are scaling up production

Rejuvenation Olympics
It does have connection pooling for clients: https://blog.cloudflare.com/whats-inside-net-http-socket-lat.... The pools naturally clear themselves though, because they observe the keep-alive timeouts. As long as your servers are not setting insanely high timeouts you might never notice. Nevertheless it does seem to be impossible to manually clear the pool. This is more of a problem when you realise you can’t use this to temporarily fix a memory leak due to a missing Close() call on a request body or something like that. So in those cases yes it will just leak indefinitely unless you specify an idle timeout in the client constructor as well.

Why OAuth Is So Important: An Interview with Justin Richer
Yep, that's the idea.

You create a project that defines some custom functions, ribbon commands, context menus, shortcuts etc... and then publish it to a store. Then anyone who has the QueryStorm Runtime (and the url of the store you published to) can install it through the "Extensions" dialog.

I disagree entirely with that notion. If you make a serious accusation, you must be prepared to hand over the necessary evidence to assist the investigation and get a conviction. I'll also say that at that point, the risk has changed dramatically. Risk isn't a static thing. It needs to be assessed regularly and evaluated when your threat model changes. Your exposure to risk is still a factor.

He could be doing this only for selfish personal interest in his stake in Google, but that ALSO has no bearing on whether or not he is right about this. He could be both right about this AND have a selfish personal interest. Or he could be wrong about it, but either way this is a bad take that lacks critical thinking.

>Corporations - and in particular tech companies - have consciously colluded with each other to push a false narrative about how they are the victims of an economy that continues to enrich them. And that’s because their leadership isn’t judged by how well they treat their employees, but rather by how they protect the interests of their shareholders.

This is the core of it, and, contrary to many, not something that we have accept as inevitable or immutable.

1. Reduce expenses in other areas

2. Accept the reduced profit

3. Find that the cost is offset by more productive employees either through morale increase or improved recruiting
I would say it's more a deconstruction of fiction, generally, rather than subversion of sitcoms. Most plots are decidedly non-sitcommy.

I would also say Dan Harmon's previous work on Community is so filled to the brim with meta-analyses, parodies, homages, and self reflection that it's probably more him than Justin on the writing side.

I'd ALSO say that I don't think Rick and Morty suggests Rick's behaviors or beliefs are praiseworthy. The dude is super depressed and toxic. Including of course the episode in which his toxicity become manifest.

I love KeePassXC and have used it forever.

However is there any good way to use it with my phone? I do find it frustrating to have to type in passwords manually sometimes, even though it's not very often.
I was always a bit wary of these services. They sound great, and the convenience is amazing, but I have not much of an idea how everything works behind the curtain.

I went with unix pass installed inside of a FreeBSD jail. It's more complex than auto-filling with a browser plugin (though those exist), but as long as I can get an SSH terminal I can get to my passwords, and various other bits of data. You have to allow password login from sshd (which isn't ideal, but I was going for "access from anywhere I can get an SSH session), so your passphrase had better be good. And you need to have terminal discipline to be sure you clear the screen if shoulder-surfing is an issue.

But it has the advantage of knowing exactly what's going on at all times. And, for added benefit, there are only a handful of things you need to have printed out and stored in a safe or whatever so that your family can access all of the encrypted important stuff if you get struck by lightning.
Right, I mean a very simple spreadsheet that doesn't actually capture how the company works. Like, a toy spreadsheet. "20% looks nice—let's go with that".
I did not say it’s a right. If it was, we’d be talking about this in court, not in HN comments.

What I said was that it hurts you if you get fired and thus it hurts your family. There is a lot of research on the negative effects of layoffs on those who are laid off. Also, not everyone is affected in the same way. For example, a US citizen or someone on a green card will need to find a new job. But someone on an H-1B is legally tied to the company that employs them. They cannot just switch jobs. But if they’re fired, they must uproot their lives, cut social ties, leave the country, and find a new job in a completely different economy.

Sure, an employer has the right to fire its employees. But by firing them, the employer also has a causal effect on their well-being. And the employees are in their right minds to protest that.
Todays grids don't have much need for energy storage on the sub-10 second timeframe. Ie. there is rarely any money to be made by taking power from the grid now and returning it in 10 seconds.

For technical reasons, thats because the 'spinning reserve' - which is momentum of every synchronous motor and generator across the nation - already adequately handles this.

Also, large generation stations are required to have a 'load line' which damps high frequency oscillations. The load line can best be described as 'whenever the grid frequency starts slowing down, generators must put more energy in automatically'. Things like wind and solar typically don't have the ability to do that.

For human reasons, it's because electricity markets tend to be minute by minute at most.

For all those reasons, I don't think you'll make any money with capacitor energy storage banks (not to be confused with capacitors for grid scale power factor correction, which can be profitable).
The solution will eventually be similar to shipping containers. Every producer will have to use one of several hundreds (because of different sizes) standard ways to package something, if they want to sell with Amazon.

My son told me a story the other day. They all had to write a book report about a book they had read together in class. Pretty much everybody used ChatGPT to write it. Pretty much everybody.

What is more, when discussing the results the teacher singled out one particular book report and praised its insights. This is how its done, boys and girls. Everybody in class knew the report was written by the AI.

If you want to have a shot at being the best. You'd better use the AI. If you don't, you have no chance, certainly not at high school level. Oh, and we have a teacher grading 30 AI essays, and being none the wiser.

Questions for libsql:

- Looks like bottomless does automatic restoring of the database? Litestream seems to avoid this, I assume because of concerns about accidentally creating multiple writers on a rolling-deploy (or similar mistake). Any concerns about this possible footgun?

- Bottomless is a sqlite extension, not a separate process? Pros and cons compared to Litestream?

- Similar questions for sqld. How does sqld handle the lifecycle of deploys and multiple readers/writers talking to the database? Anything a new user should be concerned about?
