> But engineering hours saved is pretty much a wash compared to DIY once you hit that first edge case that the tool does not handle elegantly

This is probably the exact crux of the argument, and I wonder if it reduces the overall demand relative to the growth in the industry. Do you need 10 engineers (like a decade ago) when 1 (great engineer) can deal with the bulk of the work with "better tools" and then DIY on the edge cases. This has been my experience with the modern ETL tools.
Love this idea, but it becomes a race for integrations or some context isn't available. I personally like using Albus (https://www.springworks.in/albus/) quite a bit. You folks seem to have way more integrations!
True, but...

I've never heard of a School Board which had even a "graduated high school" requirement to be a Member. Let alone any "experience in public schools, or running an organization" one.

And even before America's Culture Wars got mixed in, "School Board Member" was generally a crappy job - meager pay, indifferent social status, huge complexity, and the Board is where the buck stops for every student discipline case, delusionally-demanding parent, ill-paid teacher, incomprehensible regulation, and financial impossibility in the district. Add to that minimal thanks when they do get it right, minimal voter turn-out for their elections, and having to do all their work through the full-time school administration bureaucracy - which is almost always self-serving, usually a bit contemptuous of the Board, and almost never the "best and brightest".

While I somewhat agree that a lot of these articles are people who just don't actually try/use the full feature set of ORMs, I don't agree with the overall premise you're presenting that they really do more than write SQL for you. The other things they provide are largely just abstractions around how the queried data is returned and some additional metadata tracking of the relationships. Your estimation of those parts being 60% of the value added is probably generally wrong for most users of SQLAlchemy. Not having to consider or use another language syntax while writing your code is probably closer to 70-80% of the value for most people.

Your example gist is essentially just "ORMs excel at this one thing, anything else is worthless" and also effectively hides code ("the benefit of the library!!!") to make it a very much disingenuous comparison.

> But why would anyone really want to, writing SQL for CRUD is really repetitive and tedious. Computer can do that for you.

Performance.

I wanted to love SQLAlchemy but even in some relatively simple things it generates really asinine queries that take insane amounts of time. It's just usually not noticeably insane amounts of time at first. So you query for some data and wind up with a query that returns in 20ms when there's 20 rows in the database but falls apart when there's 200,000.

It's also bad at projecting analytics type queries onto a transactionally-normalized database, but then most ORMs are not great at that.

I had both of these issues enough times that I instead just opted to start handcrafting queries in those cases and using a single "ResultSet" type class that projects as both a SimpleNamespace and a dict.
This is only helpful as context, but you need to have had quite a few years' experience to remember before the era of cheap money and massive FAANG-inflated salaries.

Something I've run into is that a while ago, there were "Type A" ("Analysts") and "Type B" ("Builders") data scientists [1] , but most job postings now are just looking for "Type A" data scientists, and the "Type B" openings have been renamed to "ML Engineer" or "Data Engineer."

Took me for a bit of a spin because when I was first interviewing this year, I'd apply for DS roles and only get interviews that were very stats heavy with a leetcode easy, but started getting further when I basically stopped applying for DS roles and went straight for MLE roles.

My real argument is that the current trek lineup is vastly different than what trek has traditionally been. Story driven with nods to science that push our understanding of the universe. Examples with counter examples:

- TNG "The Measure of a Man" : explores the rights of androids and non-human lifeforms that are sentient and given a choice. Whether that choice should be honored or not. Where the line of rights of man are drawn.

- Discovery "An Obol for Charon" : A giant all-knowing sphere shows up with "sphere data" that the enterprise must protect like it's a database of user data with PII.

- DS9 "In the Pale Moonlight" : Sisko and the Federation are taking heavy losses in the Dominion War, this episode is about how far a leader will go to accomplish victory, who, or what, they are willing to sacrifice.

- Discovery "Unification III" : Tear jerk for the late Leonard Nimoy.

I'm saying that it's lost its way. While the universe is still amazing and detailed and all, the story/plots are just meh. I mean, we had a whole story arch of Tardigrades. Not exactly riveting science but ok, I'll bite, what about tardigrades? That they are on the moon? No? Time traveling tardigrades, yeah I'm out.
I have heard of the mandate to "strongest possible interpretation in assumption of good faith" after the guidelines. They made it preferable to take your approach literally instead of referring it to a form of rhetoric which appears of dubious appropriateness here.

I consider GPT4 AGI, so I'm probably not the one to ask this too. It reasons, it understands sophisticated topics, it can be given a purpose and pursue it, it can communicate with humans, and it can perform a reasonable task considering its modalities.

Why was TCAS priority the point of failure? As I understood it, the TCAS said the correct thing to both aircraft, but the ATC overrode it in one, resulting in the accident.
OK, so let's just crank it all the way to 11, since 11 is 1 more than 10.

I think smarter people than me can handle all the technical underlayment, but when it gets to the point of where the techs and sysadmins are using it, it should have an 8 digit hex key at the start and then an IPv4 "alike" address at the end, and 0000:0000:-whatever should encapsulate the current network schema for backwards compatibility.

Then new systems would get 0000:0001:- and on. That would add 4 billion entire internets to the system and still work at the fundamental level like the current one. Your IPv11 layer would only be used at the edges where the systems leave your wlan, and they could send your mac address as the swapover key or use it as part of the key when sharing security data, and the best part is that end users and clients would not need to know anything more about the network to make it work than that 8 digit string, and most of them, especially home and mobile users, wouldn't even need to know that. It would stop at your modem and be handled by the cell carriers and your home internet providers.

I understood parent to be making an observation about timescales.

In the short term, there is and will be overreach by law enforcement and prosecution.

In the intermediate/long term, we should recognize these incidents and ensure redress is made and justice is brought.

Which seems a pretty reasonable position:

- People need flexibility to do their jobs

- We should have robust oversight to review actions taken

- We should consider irreversible actions extremely seriously (or prevent them outright)
That's quite neat, but I would say that's more effort than a post, at least for me.

What is really quite interesting about the Ruble now is that it's legal to trade it, but you will find almost nobody in the European Union any more who is willing to exchange it.

(c) Each pilot in command who deviates from a rule under paragraph (b) of this section shall, upon the request of the Administrator, send a written report of that deviation to the Administrator.
Technically the halting problem is a performance cost issue, because you can always tell whether a program stops by just running it. The performance cost is having to actually run it and wait and see, rather than find some quicker way to the answer.
> what works for you, won’t work for companies

Citation needed. I can tell you about lots of companies that have existed for years. That I never found from Google.

I don't know what you mean by "reactions" here, but I don't think that their goals are good if they end up making what they produce worse in the eyes of their target audience in order to meet that goal.

> CNET is actually highly targeted about their audience development

Some people are saying their audience is tens of millions of people, and others are saying their audience is "highly targeted". Which is it? Those two are claims are extremely incompatible.

> that IPv6 address autoconfiguration was half-baked.

Indeed. I thought I was being an idiot and just not understanding how this was supposed to work, until I learned that it just doesn't do a lot of important things. So when the day comes that I have to move my network to IPv6, I plan on continuing to use DHCP because I want the omitted functionality.

Of course, I still might be being an idiot and not understanding. Getting a solid picture of how IPv6 is supposed to work is genuinely hard to do with any confidence.
How would anyone even refute a vague statement like that?

Secondly, the word "consonant" has many different definitions, so again, your statement could mean almost anything. The concept of consonance has no obvious connection to whether or not a system is stable.

"Orbital resonances tend to disrupt stability" - that's not true, especially not the thing about Mercury. The influence of the pair on each other would be great, and either cause the resonance to fall apart or, more rarely, to lock in. But mercury's orbital period is not in a simple ratio with the resonant pair, so nothing would be meaningfully different.

Look, I can tell from your profile that you're a professor in some kind of social science. Is it possible that you're, like many people in academia, under the influence of a cognitive bias that makes you think your expertise in one field should somehow transfer into insights in a completely different field?

And, again, showing up and just saying "hypothesis: whatever" is something people can either ignore or engage with, but if you really wanted to engage, you would try to say something concrete instead of just making yourself look clever.
Any more info on this? I can't find anything via Google or on the Monterey features page.
I'm not saying this happened here, but if a journalist engaged in hacking or fraud to obtain material to publish, that would be "journalism", but it would also be a crime (the research, not the publication).

Show HN: rssc – RSS (atom and JSON too) customizer
I've used https://hnrss.github.io/ (HN rss) for a while, which provided some customization over queries; however, it was limited to OR predicates only. Sometimes I wished to have more extensible RSS preferences; some of the feed readers I used supported such advanced queries, but the majority didn't. Using this approach, customization is possible on any atom, RSS, or JSON feed using regex expressions to filter feed entities based on title, description, content, and authors.

Not just taxes, but that's a big one

* states have different payroll and VAT taxes, and internationally it could get very different and messy

* NDAs, non-competes, and things like single-party consent for recording will vary by state and country. California, for example, basically banned non-competes, or else has to offer a lot of considerations to make them effective, but that ain't the case if you're in NYC, London, or Samarkand.

* data storage, data-in-transit, data-at-rest and logging rules may be different

* compliance rules like GDPR, CCPA, SOX, and PCI-DSS may have restrictions or not fly for one-off remote workers

* then there are the very real security challenges, like geofencing IPs, getting 2FA to work with international numbers, making sure you're not MITM'd, or that US / Chinese / European / etc. border security won't scan your laptop as you enter or exit. My last job at a F500 had very strict protocols for travel to China, Russia, and the Middle East -- and for credible reasons.

Meanwhile "remote in N. Carolina", even if 100% remote 45 min away, sidesteps a lot of those challenges.
Good question :-) You start by remembering that a lot of people have constant praise - they bought a new Thing™? "Well done you!" Say their friends. Or "You look sensational today!" Or whatever it is. Hyper-positive praise is very common, and any hint of anything else may well be jarring.

Any improvement suggestions might need to either get thrown in the bin (even if they're valid and simple) or filtered through their manager, or have a guided conversation so they think they came up with it.

It just depends on the person and your relationship with them, really.

Yes. Especially when the site uses indirection and js specifically to obstruct it. It doesn't matter that it's not possible to really prevent it, they can demonstrate that they definitely intended to. Locking something with a trivial lock, but still clearly a lock with no other intended purpose but to be a lock, is entirely different from not trying to lock something, when it comes to going to court to claim that someone stole something.
This was an interesting bit of math I did when I joined a startup. It's pretty counter-intuitive to think about how very large numbers can increase the importance of small ones.

Say the company you work for is worth $10,000,000, and that you're hosted on GCP. Now take your best guess: what do you think the likelihood is of e.g. a fire or earthquake or something occurring in all relevant Google infrastructure simultaneously*, basically ushering in the end of all of your infrastructure, data, and backups? Frame that in a number of years. Is this kind of event something that may happen once in a thousand years? Once in ten thousand years? Let's say this is the sort of thing that might happen once in ten thousand years -- that's a long time!

Then the cost of this particular risk to your company is $1000 / year.

This kind of math isn't just a toy. When you have questions like "would maintaining actual physical backups in a safe somewhere outside of GCP be worth it?", you now have a framework to answer them ("if it would cost less than $1000 per year, then yes")

Hang on do you mean to say the web store might accept an extension with `declarativeNetRequestFeedback` permission, it just might take longer and be less certain? I've got an extension that could potentially really benefit from using this permission (because I want to be able to dynamically decide whether to take an action in a content script based on the `Content-Type` header; currently I use imperfect content-sniffing heuristics instead). The last time I dug into it, it seemed that this permission just wasn't going to be available after the Manifest v3 moratorium that has already passed. So I'm interested to know if anything has changed (or if there's any special way that extensions can be approved with this permission, e.g. if they're popular enough and have a good privacy track record).
Similarly with questions about doing X with Y where the top answer just pushes some library, a different language or outright changes X to something else (without answering the original question).

I feel like the people writing those answers should also be well aware that often you can't just change the problem or just add in a library to solve one specific problem on a whim. It's kind of demeaning to push those kinds of answers anyway rather than maybe question the task but provide a solution anyway.
