Male and female are clearly defined (not really, but let's assume for the arguments sake).
Intersex people exist, and they are impossible to identify without them telling you about it.
So these people are really "assigned" a gender at birth.
They might not be a huge amount of the population, but they exist.
So why not use "assigned at birth"? It includes them and doesn't hurt anyone at all.

Thanks for a polite disagreement, but I believe you are wrong (not saying you are!). IIRC Codd defined relation valued attributes and also associated operators Group and Ungroup. https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/sql-and-relational/9781...

also https://shark.armchair.mb.ca/~erwin/RA_Intro.htm

"

Relations are, themselves, values too, and relation attributes can therefore be declared to be of another relation type. Such attributes are called 'Relation-valued attributes' (RVA's for short).

In the RA, two operators are available that allow us to manipulate relations in connection with RVA's : GROUP and UNGROUP

"

Like I said, I'm a bit out of my depth here so take the above as evidence rather than proof that such things existed, but I'm pretty sure I saw this, hand-drawn, in one of Codd's original papers.

.

Edit: you are right

"Codd proposed a normal form thathe called first normal form (1NF), and he included a requirement for 1NF in his definitions for 2NF,3NF, and subsequently BCNF. Under 1NF as he defined it, relation-valued attributes were “outlawed”;that is to say, a relvar having such an attribute was not in 1NF."

If you're rooming that's one thing. If you have different addresses for mail delivery and utilities that's another matter. I've seen someone have an ISP refuse. They had to cancel then buy the same exact service over the same exact Fiber from a reseller. Imagine Verizon/MCI refusing to allow you, then you buy service from Zayo over the same Verizon fiber that never got physically removed.

It still had limitations but it allowed them to deliver service to an entire neighborhood.

Ask HN: What would you use to build a mostly CRUD back end today?
What would you use to build a mostly CRUD backend today?

In my experience a lot of the jobs I get are to build backends that are mostly CRUD operations with a few endpoints that present 'aggregated' or filtered views of that data. Most of these apps will also need some mechanism to do background processing.

What is your preferred stack to build such a backend today? What tools and frameworks do you like and what have you changed your mind on and don't like anymore (after using it)?

Does your choice of tools change depending on if it is a commercial venture or a personal project?

Mostly banks borrow from depositors and from the capital markets.

Reserve requirements of that type still do exist in some places (though in some places they've been abolished) but don't really play much of a role in determining how quickly money supply grows any more.

Control over money supply growth is mostly down to interest rates these days.

Similarly, the role reserve requirements used to play in protecting depositors has been replaced by the various "Basel" rules which determine what sources of funding banks can use to fund their loans which depend on the loan book's credit quality, tenor etc.

The best would be too use water-cooled PV panels with a heat pump to cool down the coolant and transform the heat. Cool panels produce quite a bit more electricity while the heat can be used elsewhere. Water-cooled panels are available commercially (with promises of far too high efficiencies, salesdroids gonna salesdroid) so this is not a pipe dream, especially not there where a water/water heat pump is available anyway - just install some valves to re-route the coolant through the panels.

Are you implying their point about equivalency is incorrect?

The other poster is not saying random dick pic's are ok, they're saying there's a gradation to the depravity.

It's like calling a 25 y/o man who sleeps with 17 y/o girl a pedophile. You're using the same word that you would if the girl was 10, but those are not nearly the same acts. One is inappropriate, the other is heinous.

this "guilt inflation" just makes it so many of us stop trusting words.

When I hear the word pedophile, I shouldn't have to ask clarifying questions to find out if the speaker is trying to manipulate my feelings or not. Likewise, if someone uses the phrase "sexual assault", I shouldn't have to ask clarifying questions to determine if it was some jackass sending unsolicited dick pics online or something more harmful (that may or may not also involve sending unsolicited dick pics).

Because, just like the pedophile example, a dick pic from a rando online and a dick pic from your boss or coworker are two wholly different acts.

> Look how X has diminished in quality as Elon started slashing team sizes.

True but different: even ignoring how many of them were customer support and moderation, once the tech stack gets complex, you can't just snap your fingers and act like it's a simpler stack.

Even if a fresh 3-good-graduates team can reach feature parity with your now-1000-person team, when they've had 6 months from `git init` and you've been at it since the new team were in Kindergarten, the only way for the big corp to do the same is to buy out the new team and then leave them alone.
This is how a lot of fiction operates though, it doesn't attempt to portray realism first. This is true in everything from western movies to rom coms. The story comes first, and the details have to be just believable enough to not stick out so much as to break immersion.

Although what breaks immersion varies. Someone who's at most shot a few cans or a deer won't perhaps question a bad guy being sent flying backwards from a revolver shot, a war veteran might see this as jarring and unrealistic.
All lending libraries "weed" their collections or they'll run out of space and ability to maintain the collection. If you look on AbeBooks, there are loads of ex-library books. I have several very old and very outdated technical books from university library weeding.

It's obviously not ideal, in that if every library could be infinite and books didn't have a small marginal cost to exist in the collection, that would be nice and would allow you to look at that obsolete 1972 book on electronic drawing standard alongside a modern 2022 one without an interlibrary loan. A library weeding is not, by itself, evidence of malfeasance. To be clear, throwing out all books older than 2008, if that is what happened, isn't weeding, any more than napalm is silviculture.

I gave it this prompt:

Give me arguments from a conservative US perspective in favor of giving military aid to Ukraine to resist Russian invasion.

It responded:

1. Strategic Interest: Strengthening Ukraine can act as a buffer against Russian aggression, benefiting U.S. geopolitical interests.

2. Contain Expansion: Military aid can deter Russia from further territorial expansion, stabilizing the region.

3. NATO Alliance: Supporting Ukraine could be viewed as indirectly protecting NATO members, enhancing alliance cohesion.

4. Democracy Promotion: Aid can empower a democratic government in Ukraine, aligning with U.S. values.

5. Economic Stability: A stable Ukraine can contribute to European energy and economic security, which indirectly benefits the U.S.

6. Leverage: Aid provides the U.S. with diplomatic influence in Ukraine and the region.

7. Credibility: Failing to aid could undermine U.S. commitments globally, impacting national credibility.

8. Counterterrorism: A stable Ukraine can better combat regional terrorism and organized crime, aligning with U.S. security goals.

9. Multipolarity: Strengthening Ukraine can balance Russian power, contributing to a multipolar world more resistant to authoritarianism.

10. Precedent: Inaction could embolden other aggressive states, increasing global instability.

"I won't give names but trust me", VC funded tech companies with 3-10 bros 'who have or not a vague technical background but more see themselves as high level thinkers' between founders and their first hires for 'key strategic roles' followed by an engineer and one to three interns to fill production role are a common reality, at least on startup scenes I attended. In the startup process 'marketing' is also glorified (not that i disagree it's importance) so once you have one or two guy who can make demos, hiring marketing people is often the next priority.
Here's recent insiders experience on developing Meta's Threads app on top of Instagram infra: https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/building-metas-th...

> In July of this year, Meta launched its latest mobile app, Threads, a microblogging service and new rival to X, formerly Twitter. In the first five days following its launch, the app achieved 100M downloads – a new record for the company by some margin. Meta’s previous record for new app installs in the first 5 days after launch was 1M.

Built with a slightly larger team, considered an agile team: 3 product managers, 3 designers, about 60 engineers.
Disagree. 50k is barely getting by if you dont own an apartment in Warsaw.
Threads

I find it interesting that Meta choice largely this same tech stack for their newly created Threads service.
No, I don't think that's a better choice at all, making two characters look the same is the worse choice, having to design something to avoid situations of two identically looking characters being together sounds much clunkier, than having the characters not look the same in the first place.

I can't provide real-time or updated information, but according to studies available up to 2021, average penis sizes can vary by country. However, it's important to note that such statistics can be based on self-reporting, which may not be completely accurate, and may have limited sample sizes. Here's a table based on available data:

| Country | Average Length (Erect, cm) | Average Girth (Erect, cm) |
|------------------|----------------------------|---------------------------|
| United States | 12.9 | 12.3 |
| United Kingdom | 13.1 | 11.8 |
| Australia | 13.2 | 12.0 |
| Germany | 14.4 | 11.9 |
| France | 14.5 | 11.9 |
| Brazil | 15.7 | 12.7 |
| India | 10.2 | 9.2 |
| South Korea | 9.6 | 9.0 |
| China | 11.4 | 10.0 |
| Japan | 10.9 | 9.3 |

Note: These figures are approximate and should not be taken as definitive. Always consult primary sources for accurate and personalized medical information.

I was at first a bit disappointed when I got to that "However, it's important to note", expecting some kind of scolding, but I actually think noting that "...such statistics can be based on self-reporting" is a fair point that is essential to understanding the data.
I was assuming the file manager would have to include the code for the async abstraction. But of course it could be just part of the async runtime / standard library. Still, a file manager doesn't seem like it would really need the ability to be so massively concurrent.
All of the tests are one-shot questions and answers. Where I have found GPT-4 to be degrading significantly is with sustained discussion about technical topics.

As soon as the accommodation strategy needs a refresh this changes.

If you can reduce the office footprint you can save money. Bringing people in often means increasing the footprint post wfh.

Wfh will win where it actually succeeds because it saves money.

If it doesn't work then only companies that bring people in will succeed.

The reason I use a term file manager is because it makes some cumbersome things much smoother. With nnn I can navigate directories at least as quickly as with a mouse in a GUI, can create new directories/files by pressing just two keys, and batch rename selected files in a Vim textbuffer. Also it's useful as file browser in Vim.

I don't use it for everything and I still copy/move files a lot without it. But it accelerates some things and is simple to use.
