Having seen quite a lot of 'roll your own' solutions for wrapping queries: they were almost all unstable, inefficient messes that have a tendency to pick up lots of ad-hoc functionality. I'm not particularly fond of Hibernate but at least it's well tested and efficient for what it does and does things in a standard way so you can mostly look up stuff in the manual instead of guessing your way through a homebuilt framework.

When most people use “on-boarding”, they don’t mean just the legal/HR/benefits paperwork, but rather the effective integration into the fabric of the company.

I assume the point, not that it's being put very well, is that the bar for events that render one unavailable, possibly for some unpredictable period, is now lower. Things that previously might not even have registered can now take people away from their metaphorical desk, and there's no scope for simply searching the office until you find them. The average development project is a team effort, and as such, as a developer you are paid for short-notice ad-hoc availability for collaboration or questioning as well as for producing pre-planned individual work items that you mark done on Jira.
1) I'm querying JSONb for that from postgresql and then the conversion to Ruby types is trivial.
2) Parameterized queries and you don't have SQL injection
3) The migration tool is a script of a few lines (bash in my case). It has a "migrations" table, it reads a list of migration files in a migration dir, check which ones don't exist in the migrations table and runs them in order. A migration file is just a .sql file

My whole setup is a few lines of code. A very small library covering the first two, a small script for the third one.
So these are few basics reasons why people don't want new houses to be built in their neighbourhood in NL/BE: 1) New houses these days are mostly bought by immigrants, so they don't want to have more immigrants in their neighbourhood than before. 2) It decreases value of their property. 3) Resources get scarce quickly, one friend told me once the new building was sufficiently occupied, their nearest AH/Jumbo couldn't keep up with demand, and it caused very basic issues for all residents until new shops opened up about a year later. 4) More noise due to construction, dust and any other kind small issue. 5) A visual eye-sore, most new construction is tall, unappealing and borderline disgusting as it doesn't fit most post-war neighbourhoods.

As an immigrant myself, I feel disappointed looking at the state of new construction, but also I don't see how the government can fix this. If everyone complains not to build near their home then there are no new places to build houses.
Microsoft was "evil" in the as a FOSS hacker or competitor sense. Google are evil in the as a human sense.

Facebook and Google are way worse than MS ever was, and sadly MS seems hell bent on joining their club with Windows 10+. By default Windows now spy on the user and shoves algorithmically manipulated "news" (propaganda) down their throat on the former start menu.
Once you factor in the time scales involved, your justifications for why plastic isn't much of a problem disappear. There is no significant decomposition of plastic by microbes in the wild. Nature will fill niches but there's no evidence or guarantee that microorganisms will ever develop a significant and widespread enough ability to degrade plastic. There are microbes that literally eat rocks, but there are still plenty of rooks in the world. Nature developing this ability to a significant level will take a very long time. Plastics have been around for several human lifetimes and millions of microbial lifetimes and we only see hints. Even if we take an optimistic view, there will be multiple human lifetimes very badly affected by plastic pollution.

We probably also don't want a microbe that is so effective at eating plastic, seeing how much we rely on it. At the first sight of a truly plastic eating microbe, manufacturers will start making plastic immune to organic degradation and the cycle starts again.

Same with burning, you can't say it'd end up as CO2 anyway as one is an immediate effect and the other theoretical and very long term. I do agree that "energy recovery" as it is often called is better than landfill disposal but it is the lesser of evils. It's not always clear that not using plastic is a net benefit as its use might be reducing other environmental effects. In which case I agree that using minimal plastic and then using it for power generation is an option.

It wouldn't be surprising. Back on the first Silk Road site, you could get more than just "fun drugs" / street drugs. Medical tourism has also been a thing for a long time. There was also some drama around insulin not that long ago, plenty of Americans went to Canada or Mexico for it.
I'm an environmentalist, and I agreed with a recommendation for the 2 stroke engine thing... but when I saw someone say 'quit smoking', it made me realize how small fries I am.

People are cooking over coal/wood around the world, that is far far far worse than everything I've read(and that doesnt include industrial pollution). (Although 2 stroke engines and their byproducts are cancer causing, so... that is still valid)
It might be. Thanks for pointing out
Why did the TwitterMigration fail? – Café Lob-On
I think that's a small but significant part of the issue for businesses.

There are some workers who are more productive at WFH, some who are equally productive in either setting (but prefer WFH for personal reasons), and some who are less productive at WFH. Ideally everybody should just do what they're best at. If you're productive at home, work from home. If you're most productive at work, go into the office. Everybody's happy.

So where's the problem? It's that among the group that is most productive at the office, some of them still prefer to work at home where they fall prey to distractions and their output suffers. And rather than just coach those people appropriately, management finds it easier to just try and make everyone come in.

Which points to an even larger problem. That some managers are struggling with how to do their jobs in the WFH environment. And rather than acknowledge that they are the source of their own troubles, it's easier to pretend that the business is unmanageable remotely and everybody needs to come in.
That's the problem with the Havana Syndrome -- it's all "from what I've heard", AKA hearsay.

There is simply no scientifically credible evidence of any malfeasance. The fact that the government agencies have not come out outright and said as much, can be easily explained by the fact that they have nothing to gain by debunking it.

You can rest assured that there are no longer any CIA agents assigned to investigating the Havana events, because they have long ago concluded that there is no substance to the story. They'll never make a press release about such a non-event.
Hmm I wonder if they ever fixed Terraria for Mac OS. I bought it based on hype but it wasn't handling my laptop display right so I never found out what it's about.
No, good ORMs are awesome. As their name says, the primarily map objects and object-trees to relational database tables both ways. They provide a standardized and type safe way to do so.

They often include a query builder that generated SQL. An important feature for an ORM is, that you can inspect the generated SQL and that you are also able to use them with SQL queries. Some ORMs even let you mix SQL into their generated queries.

Generating code or generating database schemas from code is also a common feature, including migrations. It may satisfy your need, or it may not. So use it, or don't use it. It should be easy to change the strategy at any point.

The big mistakes only happen if the developers think they don't have to know or care about SQL anymore. That's just wrong, because an ORM is just a tool to work with a SQL database. Like the Tesla Autopilot, it helps you drive in many situations, but you still need to know how to drive, supervise it all the time and correct it in many situations.
It’s not removed for long though, is it? It’s at best offset against a ton of new CO2 coming up from underground, which might be valuable, but I don’t think it’s fair to describe this as CO2 removal.
Thought the following was interesting to know:

> Generated columns are virtual columns based on properties within raw json objects.

> Indexes over these properties (dramatically) increases performance of queries.

From their dev pages about querying json on https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/learning/querying-json

> D1’s support for generated columns allows you to create dynamic columns that are generated based on the values of other columns, including extracted or calculated values of JSON data.

> These columns can be queried like any other column, and can have indexes defined on them. If you have JSON data that you frequently query and filter over, creating a generated column and an index can dramatically improve query performance.
Tobi (Shopify CEO) has been supporting my open source work via GitHub Sponsors since early 2022, so I reached out to him and said (very paraphrased) "I'm gonna start pushing harder on Ladybird, would Shopify want to be an official sponsor?"

Typically, QALYs, Quality Adjusted Life Years. We decide how much (in dollar terms if you're just that fundamentalist about it, but person hours or other metrics are fine too) a QALY is worth, and we will spend no more than that on healthcare interventions.

The set of situations where there's a viable intervention but it's too expensive isn't empty, but it's not large either, so, you just build a bureaucracy to handle those cases.

Veloretti Ace Two e-bike review: rarified heir
They lost because tge winner of that generation was the Wii, wich won because of it's gimmicky motion controller and good library of party games. Something simmilar is happening now with thw Switch. In both cases, being much cheaper doesn't hurt.

But compared to the Xbox, PS3 "won" at the tail end of the generation, I would credit this to the supperior exclusive titles and the sales outside US. In Europe, Japan an South America, Playstation sells a lot more than Xbox. Where I live (Brazil) almost no one buys Xbox. As an anecdote, in 20 years, I met only one person who owned one (a X360) and several who had Playstations. And the X360 owner only had it because she worked at Microsoft and got it as a gift from the company.
Unless you're being paid to be on-call, if you're WFH, you should still close the lid on your laptop at 5pm and open it at 9am.

Everyone is entitled to their personal preferences. You're attacking this guy for having a different preference than you, and you're filling in the blanks to make them seem hostile when they only expressed their personal preference.

I just finished hand converting ~1k lines of js to cl. I’ve been using lisp for multiple decades, and every time I have to use another language it’s so painful, either per syntax or speed, that if I want to extend the code, it’s often worth the time to convert it. (In this case, I wanted to wrap the core algorithm in an mcmc optimizer, but the js was entangled in its ui, so it had to be untangled anyway so I got both the de-tangled algorithm, and it running over 200x faster by the conversion!) I’ve done this sort of thing before - quite a lot, actually - and macros are very very useful in this setting because you can make lisp do whatever random thing your source language syntax does quite naturally. The other thing that drives me f’ing nuts about almost every other language than lisp is that there’s always some aspect of the (non-lisp) language that fails to have syntactic scoping. Python is, of course, the worst case of this (at least among common languages) - white space is just an insane way to scope because you literally cannot see certain bugs. The one that kept making me crazy in js is the waterfall if-elses they use as case statements. It’s essentially impossible to figure out the scoping of complex nested ifs, except by tracking back every subclause. (Or putting it in a js-smart editor and using the auto-indent, and hoping that the author put line-turns in relevant places, which is what I ended up doing.) This is yet another often unrecognized advantage of the somewhat verbose but highly uniform lisp syntax (or lack of syntax!); Yeah, okay, you do end up with lots of irritating strings of parens at the end of some long code blocks, but you can absolutely always tell in any case by the same uniform operation the scope of every code block and sub block, and better still, reorg them as needed by just grabbing everything in the relevant parens, and blasting it where you want it, and 9 times out of 10 that’s all you need to do for most local refactoring.))))) :-)

Sure, they have not been a masterpiece factory for almost two decades now. However they were certainly a masterpiece factory at one point, that point being the first decade of the studio's life.

During that time they were certainly a masterpiece factory. From 1995 with their first film Toy Story, to 2004 with the release of The Incredibles, that resulted in consistently great films for 9 years. Their record held for 11 years until Cars was released in 2006.

I believe no other studio has had similar performance. I remember around early 2000's news of Hollywood studios in panic because investors started asking other studios why it was considered business as usual, a given, that for every successful film a studio released there would be flops too. So like VC investing, the pay off for the eventual success had to be enough to offset those films that flopped and lost money.

But then came Pixar and suddenly a studio proved you didn't have to have flops, every film they made in their first decade was a resounding success. They blew the conventional logic of Hollywood economics out of the window.

This article sort of paints a picture of how outstanding their success was at the time: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2004/nov/12/3

So I guess I disagree with the title, Pixar was most certainly a masterpiece factory in its first decade.

Reading deBoer's article I can't say I agree or disagree about the recent state of Pixar, I grew up with Pixar films and their first decade coincided with my childhood and early teenage years, so when I think to myself "yeah Pixar's recent work doesn't touch that early magic" I can't really tell is that my bias coming through?

Maybe I am overthinking this a bit.

They have time, because they accept lower remuneration for many years to work on things they are interested in.

All of this research has to get funding from somewhere. Presumably the funding bodies decided this was a potentially useful thing to fund.

So I'm not sure what your complaint is really. Are you unhappy because you personally don't see the value in some research? That it just looks too much fun to be "real" work?
No. It's needed when you're doing something high-performance and are listening to a database change stream.
Hibernate is not that bad. The problem with ORMs in the Java web space is lots of people used them as an 'extreme DRY' solution to link database 'objects' to the front-end which breaks separation of concerns and forces you to use the same model or resort to ugly hacks for further mapping.
In a properly separated application it works fine.

Since GPT3 was able to diagnose a problem patient that multiple Physicians could not solve, I have been concerned that we need these local models faster than ever. (And now the patient doesn't need to take Parkinson's medication before! The family doc misdiagnosed and every specialist tried to find their own solution. Thus why my wife didn't know the diagnosis.)

The AMA/Physician Cartel hates competition, they won't even like Physicians from other countries practice without going through the (regulatory capture) ACGME bottleneck.

LLMs have taken/will overtake a physician's abilities for diagnosis. The math/science will prove that LLMs lead to better outcomes. It seems inevitable.

However, when one person is misdiagnosed(and dies or makes for a sad, emotional story), the cartel will be able to point to it, and outspend everyone else lobbying/bribing to make LLM for medical use illegal... for our safety.

This also depends a lot on your locality. If you live in an area where septic tanks are allowed you don't have to pay for city sewer usage.

You can also skip that entirely with a composting toilet. Again depending on your local laws, gray water can often be drained directly outside, potentially through a leech field if required. Plenty of areas allow this for specific uses like washing machines, the only reason it can't be done with standard toilets is because of the solid waste.
I use a redis ORM a bit and I find it quite delightful. Throw my go struct at it and boom it does all the work for me. So easy.
I would challenge your assertion that "any sufficiently complex application" will require lazily composed queries. I have worked on quite complex applications that had no such need. Well encapsulated string construction in a Data Access Object pattern worked just fine.

If you find yourself needing to lazily compose queries, then by all means, reach for a query builder. But I would encourage you to first examine whether you've split code into services that really should live together and whether that code should live closer to the data layer before you build a whole query builder.

And don't reach for a query builder until you need it.

I have similarly low electric bills for much of the year by way of solar panels and Powerwalls. The solar power is enough to power the whole house (with all electric HVAC & appliances, and no natural gas), charge the batteries, charge the car, and export the excess to the grid. Most nights the batteries supply enough power to make it through the night, even with the A/C or heat running intermittently. Only when the batteries are drained to their reserve limit do we have to import electricity from the grid, which we sometimes go for days without having to do.
That was the root of Google's evil, but they would have gotten there anyway.

Afaik, it wasn't McDonnell Douglas/Boeing, where DoubleClick executives metastisized their culture in Google.

Advertising is the black hole at the center of the Google galaxy, and over time all businesses bend towards profit centers.

And so absent strong leadership to the contrary, Google has slid inch by inch, small decision by small decision, closer to it.
