This article is correct in the lack of transparency is concerning, but the simplify eneed view is incorrect IMO.

"I think Google Ads should be simpler to use (dumb it down), should be more transparent with its costs and bids, and should offer more options to control ad appearance"

Firstly, more options won't simplify most likely.

Secondly google has been 'simplifying' for a long time, to their advantage. Increasingly Google push people down the performance/CPA path saying our smart systems will get you the best results 'believe us we're Google' but it's mostly not true. The best results are often from a manual as possible campaign and they make this an ever harder option to take. There needs to be far better regulation here.

Marketing is one of those skills where art meets science. If you let the algorithms take over they'll often look good at a base metric but as soon as you dig around you find you're sacrificing wider goals or mostly getting sales you would have anyway, or paying crazy amounts to finish off the budget type etc.

Google is a great advertising platform, but adding your money, limited controls and trusting google systems to work it out is a horrible way, and something I see all too often. I suspect it's largely because you can spend an < an hour setting the easy way, or spend a day or more setting up a well researched and manual way, but on both client/agency side people don't want to spend the time/money getting foundations right, or simply have the time or aptitude.

I say the best thing is for some regulator body to go over the system changes over the years and ask why features plus analytics were removed, hidden or changed and put rules about these controls and ongoing changes to live up to the level playing field tenent of good capitalism. Maybe it is happening somewhere but I haven't seen it, and it is long overdue.

There's a huge open question about how sites like reddit should be monitized (and pay their bills). I'd recommend forming a plan first, even if it's "stay small and seek donations". If you can't solve that then you are doomed to the enshitification reddit is performing.

I enjoyed the band a lot as a young adult, stopped listening for a few years, and they have come back hard to my playlist for the last 15 to 20 years. Just a lot of depth to their music, words, and cultural approach.

Besides Aja, I'd recommend Katy Lied, Gaucho, and Everything Must Go; and Fagen's solo Nightfly as starting points. For songs, "Kid Charlemagne" is partly a nice Bay Area piece, and "Any Major Dude" is necessary consolation when everything is falling apart.

I was really trying to avoid a political debacle here by making an attemptedly neutral comparisons between Biden and both Obama and Trump. You're right though, I was referencing the relevant OPA pages for each of the recent presidents ([1], [2], [3], [4]). As the wiki page you've linked notes:

"however, Trump frequently bypassed the OPA, and the majority of his executive clemency grants were made to well-connected convicts who did not file a petition with the OPA or meet the OPA's requirements. [...] Of the pardons and commutations that Trump did grant, the vast majority were to persons to whom Trump had a personal or political connection, or persons for whom executive clemency served a political goal."

And yeah, that kind of bears out the point that SBF could probably find better places to put his money. But just for fun I went through the OPA lists semi-manually:

Biden hasn't pardoned much of anyone.

Trump pardoned 5 people who are specifically described as having been convicted for securities-related matters, namely Chris Collins, Andrew Worden, Drew Brownstein, Greg Reyes, and Michael Milken to top it off. That's not including the other people (e.g. Paul Erikson) who were involved with related financial crimes, but whose descriptions don't specifically call out securities convictions, as well as others that weren't pardoned through the OPA like Shapiro and Stitsky. Given how rarely these sorts of crimes are convicted, I think that's appropriately described as "many".

Obama pardoned two people for securities issues, Jimmy Mattison and Scoey Morris, but as both were convicted of counterfeiting (a vastly different kind of crime than SBF) I think we can ignore them. Robert Hobbs and Brian Sledz probably count here. I'm unable to find details about Robert Schindler to know for him.

Bush Junior pardoned Richard Miller, plus a couple of embezzlers and counterfeiters.

I might have missed some. Do you mind double-checking?

There is a common problem - some fundamental technical problem is complex and has a steep learning curve. In comes the ORM or Library or Plugin or ... These things are all layers on top of the fundamental technology that simplifies the underlying thin. Or that provides a layer that hides the complexity of multiple implementations of a technology. So you adopt it. And you get running. Then you run into a problem with the layer. It does not implement a fundamental part. Or it has a bug, or the implementation you need is not covered.

At this point you try to fix the ORM or adapt to it or fix it or something. Because you still don't know the underlying technology.

I'm not saying this is a mistake. Sometimes the ORM works and sometimes it does not. It depends on how fundamental this technology is to your product and a host of other issues. BUT! It is always worthwhile to learn and understand the fundamental technology. SQL is not that hard. It is worth understanding. Even if you want and can use and ORM, not knowing SQL will hurt you. And knowing an ORM is just an extra thing to learn.

I actually like SQL. I find it hard, a different way to think, but fun. I use React a lot. It helps except when it doesn't - and then being able to work in html, css and POJ saves the day. Even though I never code in assembly language (ever!) knowing how registers, CPU's and instructions work makes me a better coder.

So when faced with the choice of a simpler way to do something that provides a layer over a fundamental technology, I am now extremely skeptical. Sometimes it works out, but most often it is not a good choice for me.
That's exactly what an AI would say!
I agree. Nothing would entice me to endure the commute. I was thinking along the lines that some people don't have suitable space at home to comfortably work in and wouldn't mind going to the office if it wasn't as noisy, full of distractions.
I did some complex expiration calculations in a stored function, it cut down on round trips and kept the app simpler. Though it did cause some modestly higher CPU load.

I've also seen MVs cause CPU spikes where there is a lot of SELECT massaging going on. Even without the MVs themselves certain functions like REGEXP stuff can impact performance. Language of the PL matters too, if you've got choices like Python.
Sometimes I get the result I am looking for in the top ad, why wouldn't I click on it? It's mostly companies which buy ads for their own brand names, for example if I search for Nike all the ads are from the official store or website.

I don't think flops/$ is enough to really capture the difference here.

You couldn't replicate the scale of compute this allows no matter how many V100's you had.

A huge amount of cost here is embodied in networking and memory.

If one were to design a chip that cared only for flop/$ without caring for all of the interconnect and memory, then the 4090 is a much fairer comparison, and even then that card isn't designed for a flop/$ optimisation.
Our government is pathetically incompetent or an accomplice to this brazen theft. No wonder people want to shrink the government. I rarely see the government address anything in a way that actually helps—-invading Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11, Obamacare, everything related to COVID, cash for clunkers… it’s all a grift or incompetent. Usually it’s a bandaid solution or something that actively makes the problem worse. Maybe we should drown the government in a bathtub. If I had my taxes back, I could actually afford a house and I don’t think my taxes are spent fairly or wisely anyways.

My Aranet4 has been great, the original batteries lasted well over a year with even with Bluetooth transmissions enabled, which can be read by any BLE application (I use Home Assistant). You only "need" the app for firmware updates, speaking of which, the most recent firmware update seems to have thrown my calibration out of whack as outdoor air now reads 600ppm.

It's not what was built in here per se, it what wasn't - not back then at least - cut out to shave a penny (or a buck) off costs. On the other hand, to break into a new market (lower) price - often with lower quality - is a known entry path

Along the same lines, look at American made cars back then. Sure there were sloppy manufacturing issues. But no one accused any individual part of skimping, cutting corners, etc.

Believe it or not, things were noticeably different back then.

In the rare case where you need runtime polymorphism it is nice. I also think people over use it (hello C#).

If you don't need it for polymorphism its only syntactic sugar anyway, and it gets a heck of confusing (imho) when people think it does s.th. else.
Like how does it make code cleaner when you put the sinus function into a class?

And while this might be an extreme example, you can have a function which operates on two data elements. But because your doing "OO", you arbitrarily put the function into on class. Everything else would be a code smell.

I dont think this is what OO was originally about, but it doesnt speak for the average developer what happened there...

Even if are "down to several nano-seconds", a slight clock drift can be the different between corrupt data or not, and when running at scale, it's only a matter of time before you start running into race conditions.

For a small web app, fine, but if you're running enterprise level software processing billions of DB transactions per day, clocks just don't cut it.
> Because measuring by volume isn't easier in 2023 than placing your mixing bowl on a kitchen scale and balancing everything to the mass of your butter and eggs.

Eh, I've tried both and I have to disagree. Pouring milk or oil may be easier with the scale because you have very precise control over the flow rate, but for flour and other dry goods it's far easier to scoop, scrape, and dump a cup than it is to add a bit at a time while avoiding the sudden avalanches that inevitably start as things loosen up.
Someone should tell me how they think relations map to objects.

At runtime, you submit a query like "SELECT foo, bar FROM baz". At compile time, you make an object that can hold foo and bar. This, unfortunately, is backwards. Runtime happens after compile time, but runtime is when you know what objects you would have needed to compile to understand the result.

I have a feeling that ORMs have most of their popularity in dynamic languages where there is no type system. You get whatever the database thinks you should get today, and defensively code around that (or crash hard when a query starts returning an integer instead of a string).

I feel like the maximum amount of syntax sugar you can put around a database is something like sqlx.ScanStruct. If you have a query that returns "foo int32, bar string", then sure, an API like `result := struct{ Foo int32, Bar string }; row.ScanStruct(&result)` seems fair to me. Anything more than that, I think you're just creating problems for yourself.

P.S. I have no idea what the link has to do with ORMs.
Dropping numerical precision seems to have done that to some degree?

There’s a lot of nuance being glossed over here and I don’t think this is clear cut.

> Do you want ⅓ of a foot? Well, that's 4 inches (12 inches in a foot, divide by 3, you get 4). Feet are made up of 12 inches, a number that can be divided by 2, 3, 4, and 6. Very convenient. One yard is three feet, gaining all the divisibility benefits that feet already have, and then some.

That doesn't work out so conveniently when you are measuring natural things. You get something that is say 73 inches long and dividing it in 3rds won't come out even. It's convenient for many manufactured things because for things where people will have to subdivide them manufacturers pick lengths that will be easily divisible into those subdivisions.

But manufacturers can do that in SI units too. E.g., if you were making say rods and you expected customers to need to cut them into equal pieces you could make them 84 cm (just over 33 inches). That's divisible by 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, and 84.

> How about temperature?

What I don't get about metric temperature is why it even exists. All C really changed from F (once they flipped the direction of Celsius' original scale when had higher numbers mean colder!) is the size of the degree and the zero point.

With the other metric units (length, volume, area, mass) the new units cleaned up messes of a whole bunch of named units in all kinds of relationships. But there was no mess with F. F would have been fine as the temperature for metric and (as you noted) it actually fits in a lot better with the range of temperatures that most people have to deal with.

Hey, right now Fuse is dependent on third party aggregators and is most useful for companies that want to increase coverage and reliability. One idea if you're concerned with aggregators storing your customer data, is to only whitelist institutions where connections are established through OAuth. This way the aggregator won't be storing any account credentials. Most top aggregators have a few of the top institutions using OAuth now, so if coverage is not an issue for you this would be a good path.
My experience is that ORMs are like training wheels for fledgling teams/developers. They're a fantastic way to make sure everyone is following the same pattern/rules and that changes will more-or-less work over time without too much headache. If you have a team with developers who are actually skilled in SQL and use things like Dapper when writing code, you will actively detest the notion that the raw SQL should be abstracted away.

I also believe that you are more likely to completely go off rails if constrained at domain modeling time into an ORM-compatible schema. The real world usually has some cranky things like circular dependencies and self-joins. Modeling these effectively with an ORM can be a nightmare (in my experience). If you have access to SQL, determining how to manage a circular dependency is much more obvious & direct. The effect is that you are free to model you domain in such a manner that it more closely resembles actual reality. In turn, this makes it easier to talk about and write the SQL.

There is 100% a virtuous cycle here. The more you force yourself to endure the SQL, the better every aspect around it will become. You will feel the fire of a bad schema the moment you see if it you have been spending thousands of hours troubleshooting queries over bad schemas. Knowing when an arrangement of tables is "smelly" before they see any data can save you so much frustration. I think a lot of people who hide from SQL aren't hiding from SQL. They're hiding from someone else's horrible interpretation of a problem domain.

Oh, that old trope that never dies. Companies that sacrifice the long term for short term profits have their stocks tank and go out of business.
