There's no limit on the outrage one can feel about that, the worst being the absolute absence of accountability from these credit bureaus, and the lack of recourse against these. They carry on handling your data like it's theirs, occasionally giving your social identity to hackers without so much as a "woopsy". You can't just switch, and you need them if you ever want to do something super crazy like buying a house, a car, or background check for a job. You know for a fact that nothing will ever happen to them until society crumbles altogether. It's hard feeling so powerless.
Not to mention that the title of the post ("Changes at YC") is a euphemism for "Layoffs at YC".
An important distinction is that rust doesn’t use exceptions for recoverable errors. You don’t have try/catch like you do in C++. Instead you use the Result type to propagate errors. This has the advantage of avoiding many of the downsides of exceptions (like leaving your program in a bad state) while making error handling more explicit.
Haven't looked at that. Dictating compressor design requires some massive scale as a business, or taking on the design and manufacture yourself, which I wouldn't recommend to startups. Also, I suspect that increased vapor injection ports has diminishing returns (but I haven't done the calcs on it).
You seem like you want to ‘stick it’ to these people because they are capitalists lol. You’re saying we should let everyone lost deposits over 250k because they are capitalists? A knowledgable capitalist knows that decreasing trust in banks hurts the economy and lead to less growth, just because you dislike them them and make wild assumptions about what they believe doesn’t mean the US ‘should’ do what you are prescribing.

Nothing funny about it, it's an absolute non-starter for them which is why it's never suggested.

There is absolutely a reasonable basis for that suspicion. There are simply many times more prepubescent children with claims of gender dysphoria than at any other point.

How effective a test is for diagnosis depends heavily on what my priors are about the population it is applied to. If I were to administer an HIV test to every American adult, and then started everyone who got a positive result back with antiretrovirals, I would almost mostly be giving that treatment to people without HIV. This is true even though the test is very accurate. If the number of people walking into gender clinics goes up by a factor of 5, I cannot, a priori, expect that my test has the same predictive power that it used to.

> is a much better explanation with a clear causal mechanism

A priori, they are both good explanations. An explanation is good if it's simple, predictive, and you do not have the data to disprove it. The way we distinguish between competing good explanations is through testing. So far no one has proposed a test to tell the two hypotheses apart, except perhaps to look at the rate of detransitioning among the cohort of recent transitioners. This data has yet to become available, as it requires longitudinal study, but the leading signs are not necessarily in favor of your hypothesis. https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/107/10/e4261/6604653

It's a very old tradition:

>The Spanish-American War, what boosters called a “splendid little war,” began in 1898. … President McKinley sent a warship to Cuba as a precaution, but in February 1898 that ship, the USS Maine, blew up in Havana, killing 250 U.S. sailors. The cause of the explosion was unknown — and it would later be revealed to have been an accident — but both Hearst and Pulitzer published a cable from the captain of the battleship to the assistant secretary of the navy, Theodore Roosevelt, informing him that the disaster was no accident. (The cable was later revealed to be a fake.)

Without fully entertaining the hyperbole, American society and government are fully captivated by the wrong metrics: GDP growth is an extremely narrow measure for economic well-being.

A key point from the article, when the VP of AI was asked to slow down to make sure AI could be done safely:

HVAC engineer here - this looks great Chris. How are you doing the humidity control out of interest? I've done a few datacentres that won't touch ultrasonic humidifiers because they generate dust in areas with hard water. Less of an issue in resi but perhaps something to consider. Also, are you doing energy recovery for your fresh air intake? If you're ducting both intake and exhaust/spill, is there any opportunity to direct the exhaust/spill air back through the external condenser on the way out to get some extra efficiency?
Yeah no. A micro ORM still expects you to write the full, raw SQL.

The raison d'etre for a micro ORM is to capture the results of that SQL query into a simple, flat collection of objects in a way that has a better UX than your framework's default behavior.

Micro ORMs are the perfect middle ground for debates like these.

How stupid and self-defeating. Sharing links with your friends is the best way to get free advertising for your newspaper. Denying it will cut the revenue from newspapers, and I hope they all die from their short-sightedness. They may think I'll turn around and subscribe, but I'll just forget about them entirely.
I'd argue three. Namespace import is really just giving a name to the idea that "you must provide an alias to be used as a namespace if trying to do a wildcard import to avoid naming conflicts" because executing JS in a browser would otherwise not be able to detect naming conflicts - you'd end up overriding values of the same name with the most recent import which is almost never desired behavior. Think about how you might resolve the issue of two different modules exporting a function with the same name otherwise. "Mandatory namespacing" fixes the problem.

The "weird one" of the remaining three is side effect imports which isn't all that weird when you realize you're not assigning it to anything. Functionally this is the same as calling a function rather than assigning a function to a value. eg `myFunction = function myfunction() { //stuff }` vs `myFunction()` and when you think about it like that it becomes significantly less weird but also something you rarely want to do - it's mostly used for polyfills. Good to know it exists but you can probably ignore that it does.

So now you're left with two: Default and Named. Use Default when you want the entire library - or almost the entire library. Used Named when you want specific pieces of the library. That's all there is too it really. If I want a specific function from a library - there's no reason to import the entire library. For a while you'd mix both Default and Named exports for React due to how transpiling worked - this React blog post explains it well: https://reactjs.org/blog/2020/09/22/introducing-the-new-jsx-... but you don't really have a reason to mix the two in modern codebases.

Named imports tend to be preferred because Default imports means giving a name to it which can result in inconsistencies across a codebase when many people are working on it. (eg: `import SumTwo from 'sumtwoNumbers.js'` vs `import AddTwo from 'sumTwoNumbers.js'`. A named import `import {SumTwoNumbers} from 'sumtwoNumbers.js'` solves this problem)

There's still one final little "gotcha" - there can only be a single Default export. Generally it's an object that contains "everything" but it doesn't need to be and those times are the only edge cases you'll run into though I can't say I ever have encountered this so it is a "theoretical" reason to avoid Default imports but I can't say it's ever been an issue in practice.

I guess I avoided a lot of this weirdness by basically only ever using the ES6 syntax and preferring Named imports (and not being stuck in the React ecosystem). The CommonJS got to avoid some of the "weirdness" because it could pretend the Browser doesn't exist (and leave handling it to bundling tools). So I guess I'll capitulate and say it's a little weird but you can basically ignore it and used Named imports as the "One True Style".
> If the SQL engine decided not to use the right index for this query... tough, there's literally nothing you can do.

MySQL Index Hints: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/index-hints.html

MariaDB Index Hints: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/use-index/

PostgreSQL: No. More information: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/309786/how-do-i-force-po...

SQL Server INDEX hint: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/queries/hints-tr...

Oracle INDEX Hint: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/sql_e...

Of course, knowing exactly what is wrong and what hint you need to use (whether the issue is the index in particular or something else) is also a bit of work to figure out.

I recall working on a project that had Oracle as the RDBMS of choice and there was this one query that took approx. 45 minutes to execute, which wasn't acceptable. Merely a SELECT that JOINed a few tables and checked the data with some EXISTS constructions and such. If memory serves me right, looking through the AWR reports and adding a single NO_EXPAND hint made the query execute in not 45 minutes but around 3 seconds.

Of course, ORMs don't necessarily solve the aforementioned types of problems either, since it's still SQL statements being executed under the hood and figuring out how to add hints to those might be a bit more challenging. I've had cases where you need to drop down to native query level when using ORMs for particular queries, because there were no elegant ways of doing it otherwise (apart from creating a DB view and mapping against that in some cases, for read only access).

I think both using ORMs and using SQL directly suck, just in their own unique ways. That said, I wouldn't outright dismiss either: depending on what you're doing, one or the other is going to be a good enough tool for the job. You occasionally also see some pretty interesting projects in the ORM space, which is nice.

For example, jOOQ allows you to use a type safe fluent API for constructing your queries: https://www.jooq.org/

Oh and MyBatis let's you generate your own SQL dynamically, which is an interesting approach: https://mybatis.org/mybatis-3/dynamic-sql.html

In the US we have the sadly neglected GNIS database, basically place names. I recall recently parsing their data and finding that a bit over ten percent of the place names were "historical," which in this context meant that they no longer existed.

There's a good discussion of this at Quanta[1]:

> Yet Hamlin and other researchers insist that the group’s past requires that today’s historic claims be met with historic levels of scrutiny.

[snip]

> Most recently, in 2020 Dias and his co-authors published a study of a carbonaceous sulfur hydride (CSH) that hit its critical transition at around 14 degrees Celsius (57.2 degrees Fahrenheit) and 267 gigapascals. Almost immediately, a handful of experts spotted unusual patterns in the data used to verify the material’s response to magnetic fields. When Dias and his frequent collaborator, Ashkan Salamat, a physicist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas released their raw data a year later in the form of a 149-page document, they detailed an unusual and complicated method for eliminating background magnetic interference — one they said was necessary for them to detect the tiny magnetic field rejected by the small sample. This method was inconsistent with how they’d described the procedure in the original paper, which led Nature to issue a retraction last September.

[snip]

> Dias defends his work vigorously. In the months since the retraction, Dias has conducted additional experiments on the CSH material at Argonne and Brookhaven National Laboratories. In these, he invited independent scientists to observe the material’s superconducting transition. He recently submitted a new manuscript to Nature that repeats the claim of high-temperature superconductivity in CSH with rigor he insists will dispel past allegations.

Here:

> My gut reaction to your comment* is outrage honestly.

> I suffer silently, and I only discuss it in one-on-ones or on forums such as this. Which makes people think that this is not a problem- but it is a problem, because I must focus in order to get my work done.

It is a little weird that much of your most explicit discussion of flipping out comes from the same comment where you insist that you don't flip out.

That you don't vocalize your histrionics doesn't mean you're not having them. Throwing an internal fit and refusing to work is flipping out. Feeling outraged that someone might point out that open offices are objectively not bad is flipping out. By the time you've admitted that you have no problem working in a Starbucks, you've also admitted that whatever your problem with your office is, it's not related to the working conditions.
WRONG. Research shows effectively imperceptible performance difference at 4-bit and even 3-bit with GPTQ quantization. You cannot tell the difference and if you think you do you're wrong, because it barely even registers on any benchmark.
