I’m not exactly sure why they mentioned it, but in their defense—it is all fundamentally volatile storage, just used differently. Memory of course has a special magical meaning to operating systems, but hypothetically it might make sense to mark L3 cache as memory, and maybe… treat DRAM as swap? Hypothetically!
I agree with this sentiment, been working against ORMs just as long.

ORMs universally suck in all languages, all projects I've worked on (java, c#, python).

You lose productivity, lose performance, lose visibility of what you're application code is actually doing vs. what it should.

I eventually learned how every ORM was implemented differently, spit out different queries even for the simplest select queries and to tweak them is a wild trip around ORM's limitations reading decompiled ORM code. As an aside, java ORMs present the distinct displeasure of poorly thought out, incompatible opaque annotations.

You gain ORM knowledge that does not apply across different ORMs and also subverted SQL knowledge and insights that are immensely useful as a developer.

When my queries are simple, I don't see any reason to use it.

When my queries are complex, I see strong reasons to not use it.

I actively work to remove or not use ORMs in any project I've worked with. The hardest person on the team to convince is usually the newbie or the manager/lead who never has written a single SQL query.
The interest rate at the time of buying is actually fairly irrelevant. What matters is the total lifetime cost of housing. Even though interest rates were high, purchase costs were much lower in terms of multiples of income. It's pretty clear that many boomers have benefited from a very low total lifetime cost of housing.

The low interest rates/high house prices is now turning into a double blow - at least here in the UK (and for anyone that needs to move house in the US) - as low interest rates meant low monthly payments, which has inflated house prices further. Now people are having to refinance massive mortgages at higher rates, the cost is becoming even greater.

Ultimately you just have to look at statistics of home ownership rates by age to see that things are getting worse for younger people. https://www.ecb.europa.eu/pub/economic-research/resbull/2022...

In practical terms, the numbers are pumped up by things like corner shops having shitty live feed cameras with limited recording capability and no networking to deter shoplifters when there’s a single shopkeeper who can’t see the whole shop from where they stand due to tall shelves and cramped spaces. Yet it seems common for Americans to imagine this as Enemy of the State style omniscience where the authorities can view anything happening in London at any time. It’s got no connection to reality.

Any change to the normal brings with it the need for adaptation, it does not matter whether that change brings lower temperatures (e.g. past and coming glaciations, the 'little ice age', etc.) or higher temperatures (the interglacial temperature rise up to the climatic optimum some ~8500 years ago, the Roman and Viking warm periods, the current warm period). When it gets colder crop yield goes down, crops fail, tree lines go down (as in 'trees fail to thrive on high places') and the productive potential of a given area of land goes down. People will have to move or starve. Many of them will move to lower ground, displacing those who were there already. The displaced will move elsewhere, displacing others. When it gets warmer again the opposite happens, the productive capacity of marginal land will rise while the capacity of land which was already optimal can go down due to drought and subsequent erosion. People will move to this newly productive land, displacing those who were already there. The displaced will move to higher ground or to less productive regions.

Another important - and in this case probably the most important - factor is that bad news sells much better than good news. A warmer climate has the potential to make currently suboptimal regions in places like Russia and Canada suitable for productive agriculture. This has happened before - e.g. grapes were grown and wine was probably produced in Denmark during the Viking age [1], the Sahara desert used to be 'covered in vegetation and lakes' [2] - and will happen again. You probably will not hear much in the news about the greening of deserts just like the fact that the planet is a lot 'greener' than it has been in recent history is not published or if it is is put in a bad light like the New York Times 'Global Greening’ Sounds Good. In the Long Run, It’s Terrible. [3] put it.

Late response: I’ve read that book. I also work as a software engineer on the Experimentation Platform - Analysis team at Netflix. I’m not saying that makes me right, but I think it supports that my opinion isn’t from a lack of exposure.

> You are trying to apply science to commercial applications. It works, but you cannot twist it to your will or it stops working and serves no purpose other than a voodoo dance.

With this paragraph, you’ve actually built most of the bridge between my viewpoint and yours. I think the common scientific method works in software sometimes. When it does, there are simple changes to make it so that it will give better results. But most of the time, people are in the will-twisting voodoo dance.

People also bend their problems so hard to fit science that it’s just shocking to me. In no other context do I experience a rational, analytical adult arguing that they’re unsure if a full moon will measurably affect a count flip. If someone in a crystal shop said such a thing, they’d call it woo.
So are hostile countries using declassified nuclear blueprints to bomb our homeland. Alas, if you want the democratic experiment to succeed, you need to account for those who stand to lose everything from your success.

Right they simultaneously believe the government is so incompetent they can't implement national healthcare that every other major nation on earth has figured out but are so competent they can get thousands of people to keep the most impactful secret in the history of mankind.
I don't think they are capable of covering up the existence of other worldly craft visiting our planet. I DO think they are capable of covering up a program that was a huge money pit and didn't really produce anything of substance for years on end.

> This article puts (as usual lately) all the onus on the little people

I sympathize with this view, but I think a change in perspective can be really helpful in soothing negativity and bitterness. It's more like we, as "little people", actually have some power to make a collective change that improves our climate and health. Around 42% of energy emissions come from consumers — transport, home heating / cooling, cooking, clothes drying, etc. We are not powerless! It's like the victory gardens of WWII — we can all pitch in together, including industry and government which can play leading roles. And actually we all have to decarbonize everything together or else our planet will continue warming disastrously.

Wood and charcoal, yes. But natural gas and propane are clean burning. The difference between them are several orders of magnitude.

I don't know which "basic mistake" would do this. Maybe when using Lazy loading Proxies?

We use EF Core and it is quite easy to control eager loading or load-on-demand on a per-case basis.

I remember when Cisco mentioned potential acquisition of Splunk for $20B, the jokes about whether it was to buy the company or to pay the running Splunk bill wrote themselves.
My home was built in 1970. Most homes in my area were built in the 70's and 80's. When I rebuild my home I do plan to use PEX. I also want to use the ManaBloc port adapters because that was a damn cool idea whoever came up with it. Then I will just have to worry about chemicals leeching into the water such as MTBE and tert-Butyl alcohol unofficially of course but I don't drink from the well water anyway.
Yeah, that's fair. I think another thing is that a lot of these internal tooling projects date back 5-10 years when open source alternatives may not have been viable yet. For example, my company uses an in-house written time series database, which probably made sense at the time because when the project started, Prometheus wasn't 1.0 yet. Now it's reaching growing pains as we've scaled, and at this point it's a bit of a sunk cost fallacy to not migrate off of it.

Another thing is that sometimes it's truly impossible to use one-size fits all for some tools if your company scale is large enough. I've heard from friends at Amazon that the dev experience and tools are totally different in the hardware space than it is for those working in the retail or AWS orgs.

I'm astonished by this opinion, I think Monsters Inc. is a wildly better movie. University is fine but frankly nothing special - although the plot points involving Mike realizing he's just not scary, and the ultimate resolution where he realizes he makes an awesome director/manager for Sulley, is a pretty good moral.
Here's what I want to know, has anyone done any studies on what happens when sugars enter the penis? Is it better or worse than drinking the beverage? OP might be well advised to avoid fucking his beverages.
As I commented on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36500448 - We need the flexibility to choose, there's no one size fits all here. Workplaces also need to cater for different needs and be appealing enough to make it worth going there. I've analyzed the results of a study on this last week: https://leadership.garden/back-to-the-office/
Canada brings in a whole slew of medical professionals. But provincial regulation often does not allow them to practice. Hence the doctor driving a taxi trope. Housing, also being a provincial matter, is another area where the provinces and Canada run disconnected.

For those not from Canada: The Canadian government and provincial governments operate independently, in parallel, taking different areas of concern. They are considered equals, so there is no means for one to supersede the other. While the areas of concern are clearly defined, reality often sees matters cross into both, so you get such strangeness when one hand wants to do one thing and the other hand wants to do something else.
The H-1B situation is also a problem for people who come from overseas to study for their degrees in the U.S. They get F-1 OPT, and join US companies that then cannot retain them because of the over-subscription of the H-1B.

It's also bogus to say that H-1B is more problematic than L-1B for body-shopping: all the well organized body-shops do massive amount of intra-company transfers.
I hope it's not going to be too bad. We'll have some delay, but soon more open source projects should fill the underserved spaces. The generous free plans stopped many interesting projects from being created, but as a side effect that's also going to change.
That is what happens, at least locally and temporarily.

Some of the people I know that have been laid off mid-2022 and end-2022 and still haven't found another tech job have been driving for Uber, delivering for Doordash, doing cleaning and basic construction jobs to get by.

Those are completely different occupations, though, and appeal to people with probably different personalities.

The Housing problem in Canada is complex and not easy to explain in short sentences, but I can basically assure you that lack of construction workers is not the main reason it exists.
Yes! Getting to see him up close really changed my mind on him. Obviously the transmitted colors of a screen aren't the reflected colors of light. But even quality print books aren't good because of the 3-D data that is missed.

He didn't just paint, he carved.

That was the thing that really 'made' Van Gogh for me. The en plain air mixing of globs very thick paints on the canvas took a lot of technical skill and mastery. I've tried doing it myself, and honestly, modern store-bought paints aren't up to the task. Getting the oil just right is really difficult. You have to have a consistency a bit south of the stiff-peaks phase of whipped eggs (sorry for mixing domains here, I don't know how else to describe it). Once you get a hold of your paints, you can start to learn how to do this on vertically held canvases, but it's still really difficult.

Then, you have to put the emotion and ease of use into your hand sweeps. His carving of the paint was obviously done in smooth motions with little going back for touch-ups. Just a glob, swooshed on, then mixing in the oil with another swooshing and beating, all globbed up on the canvas. Getting that energy and skill together is, again, really hard.

Seeing Van Gogh, in natural light, up close, really changed my mind on him. So much so that I've tried to replicate his paintings and have gotten no where close. A true master and innovator, in my mind.
I think that's the story here -- congress is trying to fix some serious corruption.

Replace UFOs with magic beans and it sounds like some folks in government seem to have been swindled into diverting money through multiple paths into "classified work" chasing after Jack and a giant stalk. That sounds like a potentially fantastic grift for whoever is running it.

This is why the bill says: no more money for anything related to these crazy beans, and anyone who is employed looking for them is freed from any bonds of secrecy to come tell us what's been being done.

Of course there's a tiny tiny possibility someone comes back with a giant's ring, so they include that you've got to show everything you actually found, but that provision also will make it clear later that despite a lot of money, no one has actually found anything meaningful, and thus the whole thing was a fraud.
I don't paint, but I do take pictures. And looking at how painters throughout history depicted the world had an impact on my photography. Especially Van Gogh, as it was the first painter, and museum, I visited by actively trying to learn something instead of just admiring, or not, works of art.

After all, the use of light and composition are almost universial concepts.
It is. This article is about A) “ Senate Intelligence Committee’s [draft] legislation”, which is a democrat-run process that surely started before last weekend, and B) Marco Rubio describing facts everyone already knew, which idk seems like normal congress stuff.

I think you’re in a conspiratorial mood, haha. Ironic that your conspiracy is against the existence of UFOs!
No, the original poster is referencing, rightly or wrongly, the Hunter Biden receiving millions without seemingly performing work for a foreign national individual, then threatening the individual with retribution from both him and (potentially) his dad sitting next to him.
I don't think a union would prevent big tech legal teams from finding loopholes to circumvent said contract. They could use some entity in another nation or state that has more lax laws. And if the government wants Google or Meta's infrastructure to use as a spying apparatus, they get their way (see: NSA). Seems like a game of whack a mole that a slow moving organization like a union would lose.

A handful of rogue leakers or vigilante whistleblowers, backed by some non-profit defense legal fund (perhaps funded by payroll deductions, like dues), could have an outsized impact on the future of security/privacy.
I should have been more explicit. My comment was a supporting comment not a repudiation of what the parent poster said.
It is definietely intentional, since some of the earlier and less expressionist drawings use classical perspective.
I LOVE the desktop switching animations. On Ubuntu Unity when I send a window to another virtual desktop, it keeps the window still, and slides the background, while on Windows VirtualDesktopGridSwitcher just switches instantly. (Same for just switching desktop windows just switches, Unity slides it. But it is more common to slide that.)

On Ubuntu, I just know where am I and where are the things, while on Windows I have no idea.

When I started baking, the precise measurement was the first thing that I threw out. When I did things “by eye” I got better results. I think it’s because the person writing the recipe doesn’t have the same water, flour, starter or salt as you. I take the measurements as “very general guidelines”, now.

Official secrecy clearly failed to stop the very scenario you're talking about!

We have had nuclear secrecy for nearly 80 years. In that time, nuclear weapons have proliferated to nine countries. North Korea has them, for God's sake.

Nuclear weapons are simply a function of having a large enough industrial base to support their development. The "secret sauce" is officially secret, but it isn't actually secret.
Exactly. I, personally, aim higher than the standard deviation and am compensated well for it. I would not give that up.
> In the end, it's up to consumers.

This is the exact wrong conclusion to draw. The only way we've ever solved issues like this (CFCs, lead paint, leaded gas, etc.) is on the supply side through regulation. Yes, it's challenging and there are forces resisting these efforts, but it's certainly possible and has been done before.
An authoritarian regime can require spying regardless. This is the exact topic we are currently discussing.
Many organizations go with B already. Usually with some arbitrary password update period, with more sensitive information requiring shorter periods.

The user response is to choose a new password that is similar to the previous password to avoid loosing access due to forgetting. This means that an attackers best way to find the users current password, is to know their old password. NIST has recognized this, and advises against these policies: “Reset—Required only if the password is compromised or forgotten.” [1].

Best mitigation I see for systems that exclusively take password input is to use a user pin plus a PKI card or RSA key.

As much as I dislike skeuomorphism, I sometimes dream of recreating those noises.

More than that - on the list of projects to in spare time (read: retirement, if I'll live that long), which surprisingly I haven't seen anyone do already, is a system performance monitor that exposes metrics as sounds instead of graphs. A cross (or a blend) between fan noises, HDD murmur, and the bridge of Enterprise-D[0] - an ambiance of non-distracting sounds, but every single one correlated with an actual system metric - so that you'll learn to "feel" the machine by the sound this monitor makes (much like many drivers learn to "feel" their car by how it sounds).

If you (or anyone else) knows of "prior art" / some implementation of this idea, please let me know. Indicators in the tray, or semi-transparent graphs in the corner of a screen, generally don't work for me - my visual system just filters them out without parsing (except when they overlap something I care about, or find their way onto a screenshot, at which point I become annoyed). However, I believe sound would work for me, as it's a nice, additive channel, not very busy while I'm working, and such ambiance could actually substitute for pink noise (or the video from [0], which I sometimes use in lieu of noise).

I feel the same way. One private jet flight would take 100+ years of OP’s “minimalism” lifestyle to be carbon neutral. Want to know how many private jet flights left the Super Bowl in 2023?

And that’s just one event.

Being politically active and pushing for a carbon tax would do far more than any amount of individual lifestyle choices.
