This is a very harsh critique of googles approaches to peer-review publishing of ideas. Because they refused to publish sufficient details, it was impossible to reproduce results and when people dug deeper, it was performing WORSE than other mechanistic approaches to placement, not better. The author takes Nature to task for lack of rigour accepting the publication. Well, I think it reflects badly on Google and Nature both. They chose Nature presuambly for the prestige.

On the other hand, it might this guys nose was out of joint because some co-published work was declined.

It remains unclear why Google did not allow publishing [5] (coauthored by the author of this note), especially after its results and conclusions were corroborated by the published paper [7] written at UCSD with lengthy involvement from Google. Granted, [5] and [6, 7] found major flaws in [1], but “a commitment to open inquiry, intellectual rigor, integrity, and collaboration” must protect legitimate research, even if it is politically inconvenient.

On the whole, I don't see how if the authors were academics with Tenure, they'd survive this one. This is entirely NOT how it's meant to work.

Surely, it would be severely career limiting?

i'm not sure what you're thinking about when you say "multiple related things"

every "view" on your DB should be modeled as a separate function

every possible "thing" that's input to a function which queries the database should be transformed into a part of the query string by that function

> The DB accepts a structured query, not a string. It might be represented as a string on the wire, but if that was what mattered then we'd use byte arrays for all our variables since everything's a byte array at runtime.

...no

the API literally receives a string and passes it directly to the DB's query parser

if the DB accepted structured queries, then the API would rely on something like protobuf to parse raw bytes to native types -- it doesn't

like `echo SELECT * FROM whatever; | psql` does not parse the `SELECT * FROM whatever;` string to a structured type, it sends the string directly to the database
Yes, adding context helps.

Thanks!

There will be countries like Bulgaria, and there will be countries which will welcome it with open arms (and anything in between). I am here in Thailand as an expat, with my own business, working remotely for European clients. I am taxed at the Thai rate, and have a work permit, because there is no large Thai talent pool competing for the same business and opportunities I am. So far I am not seeing any dirty tricks, there are other countries competing for this exact type of expat too. "Dirty tricks" would drive them away to other countries.

It's crazy, because Apple already maintains a backdoor in the e2ee crypto of iMessage which permits them to read all iMessages and attachments and scan them serverside for CSAM (if they desire).

iMessage endpoint sync keys (for "Messages in iCloud") are backed up in the non-e2ee iCloud Backup (on by default), allowing Apple to use those sync keys from the backup to decrypt iMessages and attachments in realtime.

Note that enabling e2ee iCloud Backups (a new feature) on your device won't close this hole as the conversation partner for each iMessage is also escrowing keys.

I assume this is just brand marketing for Apple.

They don't mean Venmo-to-Venmo rather Venmo-to-Bank.

A lot of apps like CashApp, Venmo, Uber Driver, Lyft Driver, etc give you two options for getting your money out of their app. Instant and Delayed. Delayed is usually free and deposits into a linked bank via ACH. Instant is immediate and is a reverse transaction on a linked debit card.
I will take the opposite opinion. I think that systemd overall reduces the quantity, or surface area, for bugs by making many standard types of service requirements for dependencies, restarting, etc. simple configuration options.

Nor am I saying anything about anything being easy or difficult to learn. I’m talking about what’s transferable. In my experience ORMs are far less transferrable than SQL knowledge.

I think it’s safe to say we’re going to have to agree to disagree here.
They’re still valuable in larger enterprises where applications are maintained for decades without rewriting. I’ve seen db vendors get switched more than once in contexts like this. Code gen tools are nice, saves a ton of boilerplate. Everyman type programmers still get a lot of mileage out of them. Majority of queries HQL handles fine and you can always drop into SQL to handle the ugly ones.

In fact very few code changes for residential buildings cause retroactive enforcement. Called “grandfathering” you’re allowed to continue to use a house that was legal when you built it.

There are often laws that say repairs beyond a certain point must bring it up to code, but minor repairs to keep it working are fine.

Now you may want to get it to code, but that’s another question.
> Why does it seem basically impossible for a Linux desktop environment to not look like it’s frozen in time from the early 2000s in terms of sharpness/polish/slickness

I agree with you, but I don't think age or time are the fundamental issue here.

Windows 98 is is 25 years old, and still looks better than almost all Linux desktop environments today, or Linux environments 10 years ago, or 20 years ago. Hell, it looks much better than Windows 10.

In my opinion, the visual appeal of an interface has little to do with age, and everything to do with: consistency, spacing and density, care for detail and, over everything else, good taste.

Sure, today we have a higher "ceiling". i.e. the best possible interface today is better than the best possible interface 30 years ago, thanks to better display technology, better input devices, etc. But we are nowhere near reaching that ceiling. It doesn't matter if my screen has 10 million pixels and can output 8 billion different colors if the UI that I display on it was developed by someone with the aesthetic sense of a 12 year old.

in my experience, AirBnB expanded way past fun/unique travel experiences and into direct competition with hotels. Except shittier and way more expensive. I started refusing to use airbnbs for business travel.

Hotels: way cheaper, particularly once you count the cleaning fee airbnb charges; standard amenities; no figuring out how to get in or get keys, you just show up at the desk; reliably have an iron; reliably have spare toiletries if you forget a toothbrush or toothpaste; reliably deliver what they advertise (instead of oh, the AC "works", but don't touch the thermostat or you'll break it and we'll fine you and btw it's set at 76F in Austin), etc.

I think a good solution is industries should standardize on pay differential between working at the office full time, vs hybrid, vs full time work from home.

Here is just an example: Looking at the same exact job. Office workers would make 20% more than the WFH employees and Hybrid workers would make 10% more than WFH employees.

Now employees have incentives to pursue jobs on both ends of the spectrum. Maybe the employee values the freedom of working from home, not having to endure the cost of commuting or living in a major metro area.

You could argue about the percentages, but basically a pay differential could be the thing that settles the WFH struggle.

The linked DE is specifically a fork of a DE from 2002[0], so that would be why it looks like a DE from the 2000s. I imagine anyone wanting to use something like this has a fair bit of nostalgia for that style.

KDE Plasma[1] is the more modern-looking solution, but the aim of the DE is to do one thing well: provide a solid desktop environment. The stock styles look okay but can be customized in almost any way you like.

> Sometimes they can take up to 3 business days

I've found this to be the case when transferring funds using the external account transfer feature for a number of banks where I have an account. For example, it does take 3 business days to transfer from an account I have at Bank A to another account I have at Bank B.

The banks in question also offer Zelle transfers, but since I used the same email address for both bank's accounts, I'm unable to use it for money transfer from one account I have to another.
On the other hand this is exactly the kind of uninformative click-baity titles that this algorithm was built to combat.

If you're not excluding debugging and info logs at the SaaS level, you're doing logging with a SaaS provider wrong. Log everything including debug, exclude debug and info, set up alerts for error logs, wait until an error comes in, re-enable debug logging for 15 minutes if you need to, then enable the exclusion again.

SaaS observability gives you the tools to control these costs. It's much, much cheaper to log up to debug if you're not indexing them most of the time. If you don't understand features like exclusion rules, you should go learn them.
Yeah I think you are right in this regard. Regarding the miscommunication. However I think it should be a mixture of tailoring content to your needs and having some positive expression that feels more human and intimate without a romantic component. Like a trusted colleague.
From my understanding the prefabs are amazing great if they’re exactly what you want, but as you deviate from that the more and more full custom actually becomes the best deal.
The world of marketing is much deeper than you make it out to be. Brands spend millions - obviously if someone smart came in and did testing to prove it was ineffective thus move that money elsewhere.

You can easily test branding dollars with things like brand lift studies, but I’ll skip over branding.

The majority of small business and good chunks of large companies ad spend is spent on performance marketing. These campaigns have strictly enforced goals of return on ad spend (or sometimes net profit return on ad spend). When a new client starts running big budgets they run incremental alit y tests with their internal data science team, a neutral third party vendor (paid regardless of the outcome), and with the platform their spending money on. Each team shares their analysis but brands usually just ignore the platforms numbers. The advertiser can determine in their own, with legit statistical analysis, whether purchases would’ve occurred even if they hadn’t seen an ad.

I don’t work on one of those teams, but I think it’s basically you spend 80% if your budget like normal on 80% of users. Then on 20% of users you use the same targeting but serve 1 single blank ad. Then you compare how the test and control groups make purchases, and how much of a lift in purchases the advertising drives. They also compare the user buckets before even doing the test to ensure users are evenly split so each group was making the same amount of purchases on average before the campaign begins. They remove outliers, etc.

It’s not a bunch of rich old established men in a room high giving themselves, it’s data scientists who don’t at all trust the guys spending their money. So they test the shit out of it over and over.

All of the raw data can be seen by the advertiser, and they track each individual impression, click, etc. that data can also be filtered through vendors to identify potential fraud, brand safety, etc.

I’ve had more than a couple client run an incrementality test and then stop spending on the platform because the results were too low. But I’ve had many many more be happy with their own internal analysis and increase budgets, then run another test at that budget level. I have clients who only pay us if we spend $1 and they get $2 in incremental revenue from users who their data science team would not have purchased without the ad. Those teams don’t care if they spend money, and they even get bonused on increasing incremental revenue so they constantly test new vendors and move spend to whoever performs the best.
Canadian politeness is often just a cover for fear of conflict and fear of getting involved.

> The main selling point to me was that you could write a lot of wicked fast integration tests on top of H2 and exercise your ORM

Nowadays in the age of containers you can spin up the database you are using in production easily in a few seconds. Unless you are stuck with using one of the old commercial monsters like Oracle this is not really worth doing anymore.
> I can successfully write functional code, but having a colleague from a different background helped me enormously with how I worked and what I did.

Is that mentoring or just standard collaboration with colleagues? Code review certainly isn't mentoring per se.

Well, BigCos are forcing a return to the office, and they supposedly hire "the best", not the average.
I've worked on plenty of hastily built houses from the 70s that are still standing half a century later and in relatively good condition. They may run up slightly higher maintenance bills, but I'd be surprised if they don't last to see 100 years. Houses today are undoubtedly better constructed. The quality of materials in the old days compensated well for the stress from poor environmental and thermal design, but you can probably get the same longevity by designing the house to not have that stress in the first place.
I once wrote an entire application around dcop. Actually it was a tool for plotting your amarok songs on a 2D kde window grid and it allowed you to make little gestures and squiggles to determine what songs amarok would play. It was a pretty fun project.
Absolutely. I used to work in a C++ shop writing mission critical software. We would be far more concerned to let a newcomer to contribute on existing C++ codebase than on existing Rust codebase. The newcomer surely would have a harder time to make a pull request that compiles and passes tests in Rust than in C++, but that is a good thing for maintainers.

It’s interesting to note that in Akron, Ohio in 1950 (a medium sized industrial city at a population of around 350,000) a city home like the Sears home would have sold for around $8,000. Assuming the land at 1/3 the cost and a 1/4 acre lot, the land would have been worth about $2,500. With inflation, that lot should cost about $31,500 today.

According to [1], the median cost of 1/4 acre in Akron in 2020 was around $25,000. To be fair, Akron does not have the economic advantages of the industrial 1950’s any longer, but the price is still close to the expected value from inflation.

What has changed are people’s expectations. Today, a Sears home on a 1/4 acre lot is not what people dream about owning. Nevertheless, it is indeed still an option throughout the middle of the US, and once the people on the coast get hungry enough for their own home, they will move inland, do remote work and live very comfortably.

Nope. The underlying relational model is great. Knowing what tables are like, how and why indexes work (and when they don't), transaction isolation levels, all that stuff is extremely useful transferrable knowledge (and will help you out whether you're using an ORM or not). Knowing the three or four different bizarre pseudo-COBOL variants that different database vendors use to express something like "pull rows recursively from this table" or "format this string using these two numbers and this date" is stamp collecting at best.
You can assume ingredients are mostly water and use 1kg = 1L for conversions, but a lot of ingredients violate this density assumption.
