Thanks for your feedback in general!
I worked at a company which relied on significant use of Postgres triggers and it was not simplified in my mind due to:

- Engineers being more comfortable expressing the required business logic in the other languages they were working in then PL/pgSQL

- Challenging to write tests for the triggers

- Harder to deploy variations for testing if needed

I'd love to see an update. 2016 doesn't seem like long ago but in the labor markets and advent of TikTok I'm curious to see what the industry (higher ed) looks like compared to trade schools w/ TikTok channel on the side or something. I've met a ton of folks who, like me, decided to sail off into the sunset and started a youtube channel and now that's all they do and are thriving. I decided against the channel and instead continue to work via starlink. For younger generations, what's the outlook on higher ed vs doing your own thing?
A very common theme I see among groups who commit time to these game remake/remaster/port passion projects is that they seem quite willfully ignorant of what the law is and shocked when the obvious outcome comes to pass.

And then some site like Kotaku picks it up and frames them sympathetically, so Nintendo becomes “draconian” when it is doing exactly what it needs to do: protect its IP and business.

What I’m fascinated by is just how much free work people throw into obviously doomed projects. And now they’re doing all kinds of acrobatics hoping to find some loophole. I think this suggests just how strongly emotionally attached people can become to games they grew up with. I can definitely sympathize.

This is what I don't understand about articles like this. Say we're using a cryptographic hash to generate the password from even a commonplace phrase. Typically you will have thousands of random bits in the hash and you can grab a uint64 (or even a uint128 if you want) from anywhere in that (theoretically uniformly distributed) set of bits. Is that not a random point in a 2^64 (2^128) space?

Replying to my own comment to explain how it directly relates to the asked question - what to do with empirical research?

The key takeaway is to evaluate everything in terms of sensitivity because it gives you design insight. The above quoted study identifies one insensitive factor (order) and one sensitive factor (iteration length) of interleaving test and code. Now you can choose, modify, or design any test method as long as you do short interleaving. The order is something you don't have to worry about. If the research doesn't reveal anything about the sensitivity, don't worry about it until someone figures it out, your beliefs are probably wrong and inconsequential anyway.

Yeah de Garay is an interesting case because there are no articles deboonking her particular case as having been caused by the vaccine. I've been surprised they didn't at least find some tout doctor somewhere to say, "there is no evidence that de Garay's symptoms were caused by the vaccine," but maybe in this particular case the usual denials would just be too flimsy and suspect. But it should be a huge slap in the face to anyone operating from a mindset of "if there were any big issues I would have heard about them" -- the adolescent trials were so small that if her adverse event had been properly included, the vaccines clearly would have been too hazardous to administer in that age group.

Luv Postgres

Simple as

A quick note for anyone thinking about triggers: if there's any case whatsoever that you're going to have more than one row insert into a table per transaction, please use statement level triggers -- especially if you're doing network calls inside the trigger. Triggers execute within the same transaction, they're synchronous, and will soak up resources.

Hell, if you're using network calls in your triggers... please don't. Use `LISTEN/NOTIFY` or queues to offload that to some other process (whether postgres itself or another process), so PG isn't left hanging around waiting for a network return.
> Triggers should be used with caution since they can obscure critical logic and create an illusion of automatic processes

Summarizes why in my opinion using triggers is rather risky and confusing. You introduce side effects to operations that one might suspect are CRUDlike. Your code is made non-atomic, in that you need knowledge of what happens elsewhere to guess why it's behaving a certain way. On small projects it's rather tempting, but small projects become large projects that then get given to someone else to maintain, and 4y later someone will spend a week trying to understand why the amount column gets updated to another value that they're pushing.

The only use that I find safe is for database metadata, say if you're using triggers to keep track of write origins, or schema metadata. For everything that's business logic, I'd stay away from them

> But the fact that CC (in the US, in STEM, IME) are not paying enough for this to be a viable career means that you will never stay long enough to be an experienced teacher who has figured out a solid approach to teaching the classes and students that you teach.

This wasn't my experience in community college in the US at all. I had a lot of instructors, including STEM instructors, who were very experienced and were in it because they loved to teach. Maybe part of what made that viable is that a state university also had a satellite campus in the same town, so for many of them, teaching at the community college was not their only job. Some of them also taught at that university, and many of those instructors also taught some identical classes at the two institutions.

My differential equations instructor, for example, even had a 'hard mode' section of that class at the community college every semester, which he taught in an identical fashion to the 300-level (third year) version of the course that he taught at the university. He told everyone in it that they could switch to one of the 'easy' ones if they preferred, because after all, it was at the community college and could only be offered for 200-level credit there. But that section of the course was really popular among the STEM-oriented students at the community college, who wanted to challenge themselves, get a deeper understanding, work more with proofs, better prepare for further education, etc.

Practical computing topics, like Unix systems administration and networking, were usually taught by people who still worked in industry and only taught 1 or 2 classes at a time. But sometimes those instructors had been doing that 1 class of theirs for a few years at least, and then their classes were really good.

I'm not sure what made each instructor like that choose to stick around and teach at the community college for years and years, but there were quite a few of them.

There were also some instructors at the same school who didn't know what they were doing or didn't give a fuck, basically high school redux. But I dropped all the classes I had with teachers like that.

There were a few gen eds that were taught by PhD students there, just like at a big university. But in those cases, they usually had already finished a master's degree, and the class was 12-20 people instead of 40-200. I found those classes to be pretty good, too.

Overall I would say that in my experience, the quality of education for intro-level courses and general education requirements is higher at the community colleges I went to than it was at the four-year university. (The in-major, senior-level courses at the university were phenomenal, though. Only a few of the community college courses rivaled those in quality, imo.)
And then someone does something to the database that disables the triggers. Or just one of them. Or someone adds the same trigger a second time. It requires a lot of discipline to keep it sane.

They did start encrypting the firmware of their latest devices. I noted that the firmware images for Forerunner 55, 945 and 955 were encrypted. Most likely others are as well.

>Community College is for people who are busy getting things done.

Exactly. Now that I am older, having the option to return to school while working is so helpful. Too add to that, community colleges generally offer one off classes, or certificates in certain fields that are really useful.
I believe there was an option like that, but it required me to send back the item I received and they would ship me a new one.
Table triggers are the ultimate foot gun in this respect. They are highly obscured! Stored procedures split your business logic too, but when you want to go and look at your database logic, it’s at least where you’re expecting to find it, and not built into a table.

I’d highly recommend people avoid them, unless you feel that you really need them _and_ you have very robust development processes. As soon as you deploy your first table trigger, from that moment you have to check every DML statement for unintended side effects.
Ask HN: Additional vesting period after 5 years
My co-founder and me founded a company about 9 years ago. Originally we had a 5-year vesting schedule, so now the vesting period is long over. Two years ago I started to only work half-time. The main reason for working less is a burnout-episode I experience about two years ago. We ensured that he gets double the pay. But we agreed, that we would also talk about our shares again and find a fair solution to rearrange or shares.

Does anyboy here have experience with this? I think it is fair to honor the fact that he works more, but I am not sure how.

Let me give as much data as possible:

- We started the company 9 years ago.

- We originally had a 5 year vesting schedule, that is now done.

- One of our investors owns a single digit percentage of the company, the rest is evenly divided between us two.

- The company has revenues in the (low) double digit millions and profits in the (low) single digit millions.

- Our company has been profitable for the last 8 years.

- It is very hard to estimate the current risk of the company. Corona was tough for us, but we came back stronger than ever. At the same time we sill have a lot of risk because of regulatory environments.

- My co-founders works more than 60 hours per week for the company and earns a low six digit yearly wage.

- I work about 20 to 30 hours per week for the company and earn half of this.

- My co-founder has a lot more responsibilities and a lot more stress than me. He basically runs the whole company, while I help out with special projects.

- Last two years were especially stressful and my co-founder did an outstanding job.

- I think if would have devastating effects on the success of our company, if my co-founder would stop working full-time.

We thought about three possible ways:
- Give my co-founder about 10 % of the yearly profit in addition to his wage.
- Give my co-founder additional bonus depending on yearly revenue growth
- Transfer some shares of mine to my co-founder on a yearly basis

I would love to hear examples on what people think is "fair".

Might you be confusing skepticism with paranoia? They are almost opposite: the paranoiac is too willing to believe; a skeptic can be too unwilling.

Police perpetrating bluffs on people they have in custody is standard operating procedure.

I wouldn't weave the "scare people from using Linux encryption" narrative into it, though; I don't think that would be their motivation. (Though it could be a counterproductive unintended effect. The last thing authorities want it spooking people into finding better encryption.)

Anyway, I suspect that in situations in which cops really crack someone's hard drive at great expense, it mostly behooves them to take advantage of whatever they learn, while keeping secret how they got it.

If you have someone in custody who thinks their hard drive is safe, while you have secretly cracked it, that gives you an information advantage you can use at a strategic time.

> The fundamental difference is animals are mostly controlled by nature. Humans have the ability to use their intellect to override their natural urges when prudent.

Could we nerdy say: animals has less controllers (one?) when humans has more (two? pure nature + new nature = powerful brain). And, also say that this two components conflict in the human?

Being nerdy++ I would say that humans needs a byzantine fault tolerance system. I don't know if we are there, probably we have a crash fault tolerance system or less?

The article mentions it at the very bottom, but I almost never reach for triggers because they are obscure places to put application logic. On more than one occasion I've been burned by not realizing that the code in the backend did not represent the whole picture of business logic. It's more complexity, requiring more documentation, adding another point of failure that probably isn't necessary.
If they’ve written their own code and need you to supply the assets from a ROM, have they not basically just written an emulator that runs only one game?

Yes, it’s not really “emulation,” but the UX is basically the same.

I also imagine emulating the game was never really a big problem. So this was more just for fun/passion?
