> You're right that we've never seen the effects of raising everyone's wages at once.

We just saw it - a year ago - and it coincided with the worst inflation in decades. Look at the 80s - same thing - high inflation and high wages go hand in hand. They're not to blame, per se, they're just a clear indicator of inflationary periods of time.

Of course it is nonsense to solely blame pandemic relief (vs years of cheap cash and PPP loans) for inflation. I don't think you give the American people enough credit. They're not stupid drones going around. They want to buy things, and they didn't care that it cost more. Companies caught on quickly (like anyone else would.) Compound that with the fact that most conveniences are staffed by wage slave jobs that most americans would turn their noses up at, then you have rich people waiting in long lines at McDonald's as opposed to cheaper options.

> The source of the problem isn't wages, it's greed and until the source of the problem is addressed and dealt with every consumer, rich or poor, is going to suffer for it one way or another.

No one is saying that wages are the source of the problem. They may contribute a small piece. In any case, railing against "greed" borders on the mythical. Why is the voracious apetite of many american consumers not considered greed, as well? Moral crusades have no place here, in my humble opinion.
They have that limitation, but it doesn't manifest in quite a simple way. If the container's glibc and all other binaries require Linux 6.3, you're not running it on a 5.18 host.

FreeBSD is developed as a whole unit. It makes it easier to reason that a 13.2 userland doesn't run on a 12.4 kernel.
There is a subtle ambiguity here. What does it mean to "not be dogmatic"?

Full contrarianism would be to reject the dogmatic beliefs. "If authority X claims it is true, it must be wrong." You would seek out beliefs that are in opposition to the dogma.

But not being dogmatic might just be aiming for immunity to dogma? "Whatever authority X claims is irrelevant." You might try to evaluate ideas on your own and form beliefs that are uncorrelated with the dogma.
> This is far from ideal, but it's what we'll get

It's not ideal, but it's also almost no different than the teleconferencing with satellite offices that we had previously anyways.

Just instead of calling other offices overseas or whatever, you're calling people at their homes or their own chosen offices.
You know, I've always noticed that iMessages were blue and SMS were green, but I've never found one more or less legible than the other. To me the fact that they are different colours is nice.

I worry this a subjective matter, i.e. if the colours were reversed some people would make exactly the same complaint.

The actual argument really should focus on whether phone providers should use some interoperable standard more capable than SMS. If they can't come to consensus then the telecommunications regulators should involve themselves and force one.

Conditions are one if the most unique parts of CL, so definitely give them another look!

It’s kind of like being able to direct exception handling from farther away in the stack.

The lack of engagement was my primary indicator, too. Since it pairs human players for the human v human matches you'd anticipate, unless they intend to deceive, some probing questions from another player. That's not impossible (especially if they know the "game"), but unlikely. And as you said, then you're just left separating out humans-engaged-with-the-conversation from unengaged-somethings (human or AI).
Who do you have in mind, specifically?
There's a heckuva lot more than that. In the vast majority of cities, the land isn't worth a fraction of everything else involved. You can't just pay your 10k(or even 100k) for a plot, 125k for a prefab, then call it a day. If you could, house values would absolutely plummet.

You've got the permits, the foundation, driveway, utilities, and the whole issue of paying someone to put the parts together, to name a few.
I don't think this is a good example of where ORMs fall apart. If you have devs doing the first thing you have issues.

ORMs fall apart when they either do unexpected things, or "expected" but often terrible things, like lazy-loading data that causes a bagillion queries.
>Who? Aggressive about what?

Rust 'community' (subreddit?) members, sending nasty messages to the Actix developer.

It was pretty clear the Actix developer was interested in making a fast, dependable web server that was especially good on benchmarks. If the community was so incensed that he did not follow the idiomatic safety standards (that are a language feature rather than a requirement of use), they had a perfectly easy tool to solve the issue: forking the project, to make a Safe-Actix. Naturally, they did not do this, because most of them are more interested in this idea of 'safety' rather than good software.

I don't get paid to write any C code, and I don't have much interest in benchmarking, myself, but if I did, I would also be annoyed if I had to deal with nasty comments or worse by a bunch of internet randos insisting I follow a vague standard that makes them feel important.
The "increase contrast" option under accessibility settings with well for me.

GNU cat will use the copy_file_range syscall when possible!

copy_file_range allows a user land program to copy data between two files without doing any user space work. Instead of reading data into a buffer and writing it back out to the destination, the kernel will somehow manage to move the data for you.

I think this will prevent any extra copies from occurring in situations where it can be used.

If you weren't paying for a search for your company name, your competitors would be paying to have their ads displayed on a search for your company name.

All the major ad networks let you run all sorts of comparisons and experiments for ad ROI. If ROI was routinely negative, the billion-dollar budgets would have long been pulled back by beancounters and cost-cutters in the buying firms, especially when they have the excuse of a recession to do so.

Yes, occasionally you get 'I run a boutique business and I find that <X advertising system has horrible ROI>' blog posts on HN. Maybe they are structuring their ad campaigns wrong. Maybe their business shouldn't be advertised at all. Maybe they are using the wrong channel (Search, display, social) to advertise with. It's a pain in the ass to figure this out if you're a small business.

But larger businesses with serious ad devote a lot of effort to figuring this out - and will reshuffle their marketing budgets to the high ROI channels.

What about power draw? Quick google says V100 is max 300W while H100 is max 700W TDP, which makes the cost more favorable than 4x, so more like 7x less per flop. *assuming* the same electricity cost, which actually seems to have increased significantly.

On a (minor) side note, it seems that $1.00 from 2018 is worth ~$1.20 in 2023. I wish more cost comparisons included inflation, because the past few years have had a lot of it.
Might as well ask here: I’ve seen discussion of the fastest CL implementation, but which uses the least memory? CLISP? Is it still viable? ECL?

We’re talking a house that is OVER 10x the price after adjusting for inflation. Does that not ring some bells financially in people’s heads? Or is the older generation just okay with this destruction of purchasing power for basic needs?
Kaze has already done so, and picking the low-hanging fruit results in much greater improvements than the optimizations shown here (which frees up less than one millisecond per frame). Here's the previous video with explanations and video demonstration of their improvements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_rzYnXEQlE
Taking a US-centric look: in 2021 there were 42,915 automotive fatalities in the US [0], and the average number of vehicle trips per household is around 1900 [1], and about 124M households in the US. [2] That works out to ~235B trips, putting the death rate at 0.182 per million trips, or roughly equivalent to the per-trip fatal crash rate of the A330.

So you're right, an individual plane ride is not "dramatically safer" than the average car trip (if anything it's slightly riskier), but people take far more car trips, so the risk adds up. Many years, NTSB reports ZERO deaths from commercial air travel [3], while vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death—not quite top 10, but close.

Big +1 to this. I’ve been using JDBI lately and could not be happier. It is not an ORM, only a lightweight mapper. And it supports all modern libraries and paradigms (Vavr, Immutables, immutable “value classes” …)
On iOS this is possible through management profiles. People use these as parental control apps:

Ah, yes: because people who have limited disposable income were making up most of their calories with steaks...and because everyone who was buying steaks will be going aaaaalll the way to replacing them with dried beans.

Rather than people with limited disposable income already buying cheaper foods, and when those get more expensive, just having to buy less.

And, once again, for many, many things, the company that sells the steaks is owned by the same conglomerate as the company that sells the beans, and they're raising the prices in lockstep.

"Unispace finds that nearly half (42%) of companies that mandated office returns witnessed a higher level of employee attrition than they had anticipated. And almost a third (29%) of companies enforcing office returns are struggling with recruitment. Imagine that — nearly half!"

ORMs have other selling points. Primarily, it looks like code and works with tooling designed for code.

So changing a column name or type, for example, is pretty easy to refactor, which may not be true for SQL queries and may take significant testing.

Additionally, ORMs allow you to easily hook into things (post-commit, etc) that is often useful, and to define custom things, like JSON serialization with custom types, without a massive amount of work.

But yes, you make great points I think.
Hilarious, but also true, of me too.

No, they probably can't find the 'sponsored' text, but they are also conditioned to know that the stuff at the top and the stuff on the side is probably ads, because every friggin website on the internet has ads in those locations.
Your parent does not really say that though. Assuming that WFH/RTO preference is distributed equally across highest and lowest performers his statement will be true. As lowest performers will be stickier (regardless of preference) and highest performers won't be so you may lose 50% of your highest performers but a lower amount of lowest WFH-loving performers. Effectively averaging down the skill level of your company.

It's not really a WFH/RTO thing so much as a benefits thing. The same would be true for another variable like free lunches.

On the other hand, it is a really convenient standard connector.

On the other hand, I2C means you can only have one of each kind of device due to address clashes, the lack of an interrupt pin is quite limiting, I2C is too slow for things like displays, and 3V3 isn't really enough to power LEDs like WS2812Bs.

I didn’t comment on what should be, just my understanding of what reasoning was applied.

I’m also not very familiar with the case and it’s not immediately obvious what steps were taken prior to this becoming a criminal matter. It’s not clear whether any legal steps were taken before the stalking charge. But it is clear that the stalking persisted for years before this legal action.

There are many circumstances where a threat is blatant enough that a single instance at a single time is clear enough. There are also many circumstances where people under threat are motivated by fear not to pursue justice when they’d be objectively right to pursue it.

I’m inclined to believe that someone feeling threatened for multiple years shouldn’t need to fulfill an additional waiting period to be relieved from persistent threats, while the person threatening them is basically in a “don’t do it more than the last multiple years” probational period. And maybe that shouldn’t automatically escalate to criminal charges (if that’s what happened), but “you’ve endured years of threats, now you have to wait for potential escalation with no restraint on the person threatening you” isn’t the answer either.

> One of the selling points, which is now understood to be garbage, is that you can use different databases.

It was a major selling point back in the days. You can say that's now a legacy but it was definitely a thing pre-cloud / SAAS.

Lots of software used ORM to offer multi-database support, which was required when you sell a license and users installed it on-premise. Some organizations strictly only allowed a certain brand of database.

You couldn't spin up a random database of flavor in AWS, Azure or GCP. There were in-house DBAs and you were stuck with what they supported.

> there's also a lot of good faith intentions that never manifest for whatever practical reason(s)

This is the risk blindness that exists in people that find success.

No one will perceive risk correctly. They will either over or under estimate. Those there's a huge amount of survivorship bias and those who underestimate risk and get lucky will be those who experience the most outsized success.

This isn't to say the cynical "I told you so"s are right, they're blind to the benefits. It's just that it's easy to say you can see the win-win. From the outside it's easy to see that the underlying benefit for Docker is reducing the power and input of other sources of influence in their technology, and that's a greater benefit to them than any benefit that this move could possibly provide to the users. But if anyone could make it work it's you.
The US being an exception that failed or successfully resisted switching is a false premise in the first place, based on obscure and pedantic definitions of metric acceptance. We learn the metric system in school, and it's not some sort of rebel cause either.

Sure, Americans also use non-metric units, but that's not as unique as is claimed. First hit for "site:.uk mpg" is "MPG stands for miles per gallon and is used to show how far your car can travel for every gallon (or 4.55 litres) of fuel it uses".

A handy trick is to memorize conversions in terms of a particular reference object or entity, instead of memorizing "the" conversion factor as a decimal. For example, while I know an inch is 25.4mm, I convert volume by remembering that 5.7 liters is 350 cubic inches - for obvious reasons.
Wow, it's true. https://www.zdnet.com/article/intels-tiny-curie-chip-powers-...
I saw this in the theater when it came out on a total whim not knowing a thing about it. Loved every second.
> Slowly add @milk{4%cup} [- TODO change units to litres -], keep mixing

No! Handle units! @milk{4%cup} should be trivially convertible to liters and configured by the user. For harder conversions (volume to mass) keeping a list of ingredients and their densities (configurable of course) would be extremely useful.

On that subject, being able to specify a recipe in terms of ratios and then automatically convert it to scale would be a super power that I can't beat by hand.

For example when I bake I do everything by weight and have all the recipes I like written out by hand with unit conversions. 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.
Holy crap yes. This thread has triggered a long lost memory from over a decade ago where everything, absolutely everything was done through stored procedure. Such a wild, wild waste of time.
I think the extreme inconvenience of 11 being a prime number might force people to choose a more sensible base. 10 is usable (barely), being divisible by 2 and 5, but 11 would be ridiculous.
This is a garbage paper. Look at figure 5 - every treatment but one, including the control, had roughly the same effect. It's all just placebo. also notice how few people were in each treatment group: just 10 or 11! You can see how much their scores vary before treatment in figure 5. I think the differences in figure 4 are just due to how they're normalizing to the control.

I also find the THI to be an absurd metric since a large component of it is measuring your psychological well-being. Why don't any of these studies do pitch and volume matching? The apparent loudness is what i actually want to reduce.

Maybe I'll start a youtube channel where I carefully review/roast tinnitus papers, it really seems to be a field with no standards.

I haven't read the underlying report since it is behind a wall. Having said that, when companies make predictions, they rarely predict a specific number. It is likely that a significant amount of companies saw attrition that was within the expected range. Having said that, they certainly should also report the number that saw less then expected. There is really no way to make sense of just the number presented.

You originally said "everything you can do with it" rather than just the basics though. Those goal posts moved pretty far.

I agree with learning most of your examples in an afternoon, but really knowing SQL takes a hell of a lot longer than that. In fact even the most SQL shy ORM preferring devs I've worked with still know those basics.
Microsoft had MoneyCebtral in the 90s. And in typical MSFT fashion they killed a great product.
Frankly, I am cynical. ORMs produce bad queries, but the SQL queries I've seen in some code bases are also nothing to write home about.
If the choice is between terrible spaghetti-string-concatenation-manual-sql-from-hell and sometimes-inefficient-but-fixable-when-needed ORM code, I prefer that people stay with their ORMS.
