It only has a definitive answer in the mainstream interpretation of mathematics.

You should also consider how unique that field is. If half your widgets are blue and half your widgets are red, indexing the color is probably not helpful (ie, the query planner will ignore the widget_color index and do a full table scan). A rule of thumb number I vaguely recall is 10%

While that's true, I wonder how many websites really benefit from smart diffing algorithms instead of just directly updating the dom.
Have you considered that regulation is what causes those issues?
In some cases, you can preempt criticism by being critical of your own work first in a public manner, such as maybe calling out something that you anticipate another dev might not like and explaining why you did it that way. That said, you may just run into people who like to complain and nitpick, dealing with them is more about being mentally and emotionally prepared to stay calm and grounded and try to steer conversations to a productive place.
> screw the guy who’s on call the night this system starts timing out

This was a very small billing practice, and that person was going to be me. I thought then, and still think now, that I made a reasonable trade off between what would be work at the time and potential future urgent work.

Additionally, this wasn't the sort of thing that would fail suddenly when you hit a critical point. Instead, running full text searches (a very small fraction of what the database was handling) would just slow down in a way that would have been very clear to the users.
So many years of effort that could have been avoided had C introduced wide pointers into the standard 24 years ago.

This will fail like all the other annotation attempts have failed.

This is pretty excellent material, even just spending 10 minutes I have learned more than most random blog posts in the past few months.
I noticed that there's a huge difference between receiving criticism on something that is work in progress versus something I consider being "done".

When something is still a work in progress in my mind, it is much easier to have a positive attitude towards criticism and see it as something that helps me improve. There's something I can _do_ with the criticism in these cases.

However, when I consider something as done and it is criticized, I can get frustrated and defensive. It's a bigger mental leap that's necessary to make the criticism actionable.

The simple (though not easy) solution is to consider nothing as permanently done.

I’d think of this as two issues, assuming we’re talking about constructive critiques:

(1) how do I not take snarky critiques of my work personally?

(2) how do I not take kind critiques of my work personally?

Issue 1 is often about understanding why the other person is snarky. Do they get this issue a lot? Do they realize they’re being snarky? Are they just a dick?

The goal here is to empathize so you can translate the feedback to issue 2.

Issue 2 is often about your own relationship with your work. Are you wedded to it, because it’s the creation of your own hands? Is everyone else too dumb to see why your solutions work? Are you in an area where the underlying issues are opaque or challenging?

The goal here is to be introspective + address why you have a gut reaction to the feedback. Eventually, you’re trying to get to a “reviewer and I against the problem” mindset.

All that said - sometimes it’s not a bad thing to take things personally. Recognizing when “feedback” is out of bounds is part of the process. Good luck!
I read George R.R. Martin's novella "Nightflyers" when my dad bought me a great anthology (Years Best SF #10). It mentions in there that there are remarkable coincidental similarities between the novella and "Alien". Both scared the crap outta me at the time!

I highly recommend "Nightflyers" (and pretty much every story in that anthology):

It's honestly gratifying to see that we landed on a similar product space independently. I read it as a strong signal that there's a real need for the product. I've been impressed by how much ground they've been able to cover, and how quickly they're building.

Beyond that, I think our focuses are somewhat different, as our current roadmap is focused on serving growth engineers. Still happy to see them working in the space.

This is my singular biggest hurdle in going back to school to finish my degree and I'd love to fill the gaps I have around mathematics so I can not only finish my degree; I'd also like to participate in some more advanced computer science that rely heavily on underlying computation.
In cases where your data is small enough that you don't need an index, an index is adding technical complexity. In some cases that will be small (you are already using a database and it has built-in support for the kind of index you need) and then, sure, go ahead. But in other cases it will not be so small (you can't get indexes without switching to a more complicated tool, you'd need a somewhat unusual kind of index which requires a plugin, etc) and it's worth thinking about whether your system will be more reliable and low-maintenance long-term if you go without.

Every chapter of the OP book has an introduction which has the following subchapters: Objectives, Segue from previous chapter, Motivation, Goals and Warnings for the Reader. Which I really appreciate and I think its a great way to teach stuff, especially mathematics, since all those chapters contextualize the coming topic in various ways. (E.g. I imagine ‘Motivation’ does this with respect to the history and origins of the idea and ‘Segue from previous chapters’ contextualizes it with reference to the stuff reader has learnt so far.

> In theory, they are to help find a child that has already been abducted and they think is in immediate danger. Being abducted, by itself, isn't enough to get an alert.

The bar for Amber Alerts has been pretty low since its inception. I stopped paying attention myself once it became apparent they were being used to deputize the public as repo men for custodial abductions. Parents who murder their children usually don't kidnap them first-- unless the responders force escalation and standoff (see also: the police-chase debate). Settle that shit in court and stop being dramatic.

It's only as of earlier this year that [in California at least] the criteria are being revisited to eliminate custody disputes as a qualifier. Though CA/AZ/NM/TX have added risk of such abductions becoming international affairs, which is the only concession I'd make for such histrionics.

The system does work though, as does the FBI most-wanted list.
PayPal's withdrawal from Palestine isn't required by the US.

It's certainly not _just_ engineers; you see it in the hard sciences and medicine to an extent, as well. Someone recently posted a study purporting to show harm caused by masks to HN, say; while its authors didn't appear to include anyone with expertise in the relevant medical specialties, they did include a chemist and a veterinarian. And, if you're a fan of Matt Levine, you'll know that dentists stereotypically tend to think of themselves as being experts at high finance.

But it definitely does seem to be especially pronounced with engineers.

(NB. I am a software engineer, and not a sociologist, so, argh, this is potentially getting a bit meta.)
There's already a government office for exactly that: https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/enforcement/oac

However, it does not apply in this case because the U.S. does not recognize Palestine as a country, and if that changes, it seems unlikely that it would be a country friendly to the United States.
The 2010s in sci-fi gaves us:

- Dredd

- Melancholia (may not qualify for some sci-fi fans, I suppose, and I can understand why—it's so very allegorical)

- High Life

- Under the Skin

- Annihilation

- Ex Machina

- Edge of Tomorrow

- Looper

- Blade Runner 2049

- Sorry to Bother You

- Arrival

- Mad Max: Fury Road

- The Last Jedi (I know lots of people hated it—I think it's the only more-or-less good Star Wars movie since the original trilogy, and was shocked at the broadly-negative reaction, having come out of the theater thinking "finally, we got a good one, even if it did play the ending way too safe; everyone's going to be so happy!". We're not gonna change each other's minds in HN comments. Agree to disagree.)

And that's just the ones I've seen and thought were somewhere between good and great. And that I could remember or quickly find a reminder of with a quick search. I hear very good things about the new Planet of the Apes series (like, "each entry is better than the last" good) but have only seen the first one. Lots of people liked Rogue One, Snowpiercer, Ad Astra, and Interstellar (I didn't, or at least didn't think they were notably good, but hey, lots of people did). Godzilla, Pacific Rim, and Kong were OK romps. Heard good things about Upgrade and Attack the Block, but haven't seen them. The Martian was OK (some loved it). Inception was alright (again, lots of others like it way more than I do).

How many really good sci-fi movies did the 70s produce? The 80s? I think we're doing fine.
The process is fairly simple - go to a small claims court, and ask the court to order them to give the money back.

Where I'm from you gotta file in person and there's a fee for filing and you pay someone to serve the defendant. Then you gotta show up at the court date. That's a bunch of fees and two days off from work before you even get a decision. I understand that this is the process, but it's not so simple for a lot of people to take days off from work, come up with money for fees (especially if their paypal is frozen), etc. It just doesn't serve the regular Joe all that well.

It is very hard to do good code review. The reviewer is always missing context. It's easy to overly focus on style nits and not meaningful changes. This is exacerbated when PRs include a large number of changes.

Additionally, code review is the worst time to question decisions made by the developer. You have probably put a lot of work into your changes. Someone callously tossing a "why don't you do it this other way" into your PR feels like bullshit because it is. And again, larger PRs are going to have more (and lower quality) comments, which makes it easy to feel criticized or defensive. The parts you had the most trouble with are likely the parts that people are going to comment on most.

The solution to both of these is to try and break your work into the smallest chunks you can. This makes it easy to catch your own mistakes, as well as reducing the mental burden on the code reviewer. It gives you a chance to validate your strategy before you implement the whole thing. I've never been on a team that pushed back against the idea of splitting a large task into smaller ones.

As to when you do get called out on a mistake, it's ok to feel bad but recognize, people make mistakes. The person did you a favor by finding it in review vs finding out when bug reports start coming in. If it's a good catch, respond by saying "thanks for catching it." Nobody knows everything, nobody writes perfect code.
I may have a too simple perspective (in which case do point me in the right direction; instead of flagging yet another of my comments)

but as the world de-dollarizes, there's the idea that the we are going go the so-called "multipolar world" which I think means that there won't be a global reserve currency anymore; but many of them... but isn't this how the world worked in the 19th century?

However, as China catches up, and begins to overtake USA as the world's most powerful nation, doesn't this suggest that we are going to a world in which chinese renminbi (not yuan) is the new world's reserve currency?

curiously, renminbi is only mentioned once in this article, in the description of a graph.

also, I have very little access to quality information about renminbi, so I wonder how much is it a digital central bank currency? how much blockchain technology has been incorporated into its foundation?
IDK, with only GP's comment and the image for context, and some earlier familiarity with the concept of embeddings, I'd put the apple... somewhere near the middle of the picture, nowhere near any of the lettered placement points. To me, the apple fits about equally to all the clusters, excepting bottom-left one, where I couldn't figure out the relationship in few seconds.

EDIT: in some sense, the whole idea and usefulness of embedding comes from it working like the inverse of this kind of "intelligence"/"logic" tests - tests that ask you to which, out of several groups, a new symbol belongs. Usually there are couple competing answers, but the test has you guess the one that's the Right One. Embedding is about subverting this - it's about telling the test giver, "you know what, it actually belongs to all of them", and adding enough dimensions to the problem space that you can have all the groups be far away, from each other, and the new thing close to all of them - to each along a different dimension.

In theory you can, but 99% of the time you'd still generally use the brakes for any serious deceleration. On the other hand with one pedal driving, regen braking is used 99% of the time.
