Ask HN: How does your team handle data backfilling?
My team of SWE's is at an inflection point with how we handle database backfills. Think new fields on existing records across environments being populated by some conditional logic. I am curious how other development teams handle their own backfill operations and if there is a "standard" or rule-of-thumb.

In past teams, repos comprised of common functionality executed by Jupyter Notebooks, or even loose scripts, would be used for us to review incoming backfills before the engineer would shell in and execute the script. This is better than no reviews of backfill operations but I would like to think there is a more streamlined way.

Good shout on the feature list on the README, thanks. In the meantime, there's some additional detail at https://statusnook.com to that end.

Honestly, I'm not sure about PR's yet. To prevent any disappointment I'd encourage discussing any changes before beginning work intended to be upstreamed. I should include this in the README.

Datebk6 on Palm OS? Is "just" the right word? :)

Let's say I find a PalmOS emulator, pirate a system image, pirate Datebk6, put in some dummy data.

Could that explain what the post meant re: commonality of having todos rollover?

I don't think so. That's not a function of the software, that's a function of a particular use of the software.

Would using it be the same as getting the wisdom from a passionate user?

I don't think so. Living with PIM software is such a different beast from demoing it.
> ByteDance is based in Singapore.

Is it? Wikipedia seems to disagree:

The only mention of Singapore is in reference to launching a music service there.

Where do you get the idea that the rails ecosystem is striving? I work on a big Rails monolith as part of my day job and the amount of abandoned libraries in the ecosystem and general quality of libraries is pretty miserable if compared to Golang, Java, Python, JavaScript and others.

I'm not saying it's a bad technology choice for a new company when all you need is to build a CRUD web app fast, but I wouldn't use it for anything that requires you to serve >1MB of JSON API responses or anything that requires concurrency, substantial IO, lots of API interactions with external services, low latencies, lots of memory or compute heavy computations, etc.

I have a thick skin, kid. I have seen things and done things in my life to know something about the military. Aside of stupidity of the Rada to prohibit any form of negotiation. Aside of almost perfect peace negotiations with Russia, ruined by MIC and Boris Johnson.

This is the historical reality of war. There is no technology who will remove the need of a soldier on foot to put a flag on a territory. War is logistic. War is human resource intensive. Those who have more well-trained, organized and supplied soldiers win. Currently, there is no meaningful air-defense in Ukraine.

The Russian army has a calculated approach in which they bomb with FAB's, FPV's and artillery before ground operation. There is no adequate way to replenish the lost soldiers for Ukraine. Russians are plenty.

War must be stopped by Ukraine suing for peace. "Suing for", in this older sense of the phrase, means "pleading or petitioning for".

> General Christopher Cavoli, the commander of European Command, told the House Armed Services Committee on April 10 that the severity of the situation in Ukraine “can’t be overstated” as troops on the battlefield run short of ammunition and as the country’s air-defense capabilities are depleted.

Ukrainian troops have been rationing ammunition as Russian forces outfire them at a rate of about 5-to-1, he told the committee.

“That will immediately go to 10-to-1 in a matter of weeks. We are not talking about months. We are not talking hypothetically…. We are talking about weeks,”

He obviously forgot the most important part. WELL TRAINED SOLDIERS. Money and weapons will not change the outcome.
Sony CLIÉ were my choice of Palm devices. Hi-resolution (double), better colour, better screens, better system apps. Crazy hardware design, cyberdecks with so much personality, a far cry from what we have today. And one CLIÉ device that perhaps inspired the iPhone, the TH55, as both Steve Jobs and Jony Ive were fans.

I did some preservation of Palm stuff, lost SEGA games https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/2019/04/24/recovered-forgott..., app hacking, and more.

When browsing the Wayback Machine for old Palm apps, it's so interesting to see pretty much all development stop once the iPhone was released.

The original Palm software and user interface design was heavily inspired by the Macintosh.

"Piloting Palm" by Andrea Butter & David Pogue is a great read.

It isn't netflix traffic it is ISP customer traffic which they pay for. Hardware upgrade, bandwidth costs, and other operating costs are already paid for by the ISP customers. The ISP should not be able to double dip by charging netflix or the customer a second time.

If the ISP isn't able to provide the service they advertised and sold they should be investigated and be issuing refunds at the very least. Can't provide the service you said you could? Maybe don't advertise and defraud customers.

It was indeed only me working on it. I forget what was the issue exactly, something about constantly forgetting what the "mut", "&", "*", etc symbols did in different contexts.

Large ships are now able to exit the Port of Baltimore
Enough of the bridge wreckage has been cleared that most large ships can get out. There's one that's probably still trapped (the KLARA OLDENDORFF, with a 14.4 meter draught). But the Carmen (linked in title), a 230 meter long car carrier with a 9 meter draught, is among the large ships that has exited this morning [1].

From the US Coast Guard [2]:

> The Captain of the Port (COTP) plans to establish the Fort McHenry Limited Access Channel for commercially essential vessels on Thursday, April 25th until 6 a.m. Monday, April 29 th or Tuesday, April 30 th if weather adversely impacts vessel transits. As with the other temporary channels, this new channel will be marked with lighted aids to navigation and will be limited to transit at the discretion of the COTP and based on the prevailing weather conditions. The Fort McHenry Limited Access Channel will have a controlling depth of 35 feet, a 300-foot horizontal clearance, and vertical clearance of 214 feet due to the adjacent BG&E powerlines. The controlling depth and available width may increase based on pending survey analysis. Deep draft vessels utilizing this channel will require a Maryland State pilot and two escort tugs, ahead and astern on centerline. The Maryland Pilots will impose a 3 foot under keel clearance (UKC) requirement for all vessels and limit transits to winds being less than 15 knots Weather Forecast for 39.22N 76.54W (Elev. 3 ft).

> Just 16% of girls think a career in engineering is suitable for someone like them, compared to 44% of boys.

Serious question, why is this "bad"? Is absolute equality in everything intrinsically valuable always? It seems progressives have taken the idea of liberal equality under the law and extend it to human nature for no reason other than to achieve a contrived version of a utopia. There are many ways to achieve a good society, and I don't see why differences existing between different groups of people needs to get in the way of that. Furthermore, I don't think this can be top-down engineered by politicians (and in fact attempting it has caused historic catastrophes). Maximizing individual freedom has been the most consistent producer of progress.

> We are talking about an existential threat to the US

What? No. We’re talking about Xi invading Taiwan. That causes war between China and the U.S., U.K., Australia, Japan and India.

> Taiwan and Tibet are different cases and could not be considered clear and cut cases of invasion and annexation

Oookay buddy.

> Tibet and Taiwan was never internationally recognized as independent and were/are considered a part of Qing

A lot of Western China wasn’t historically China. Hence why Beijing has to commit crimes against humanity to integrate it [1]. We can play this game endlessly for any piece of territory.

> That civil war in a sense never ended

Just so it’s clear to the thread, the pro-TikTok’er here is an avid advocate of China invading Taiwan, and thus war between America and China. This is why we need to dismember TikTok from ByteDance or remove it from app stores.

Just because they’re failing doesn’t mean switching licenses will help. HashiCorp did not increase the popularity of Terraform Cloud by clamping down on the ability of other companies to host Terraform services.

There were any number of things HashiCorp could have done to improve revenue generation from their products without changing the source license. When they realized they weren’t building the best SaaS version of their products, they didn’t try to improve their service. Instead they tried to run the competition out of business.

You from earlier:

Both sides are totally guilty of repeating stupid memes instead of engaging in intelligent discourse. You just don't recognize your stupid memes because they seem like factual statements since you've heard them so much from your circles.

You hear someone say something that you disagree with and you immediately interpret it using the memetic pigeon hole that you've adopted for that "kind of person" instead of actually listening to what they have to say. Get out more and actually listen (really listen!) to what conservatives have to say. Why do they repeat the memes that they do? What do those memes say about their inner life?

As a rule, conservatives are no less thoughtful and caring than you are, they just have a very different set of axioms governing their ethics. Until you understand those priors their words will sound as irrational and foolish to you as your words do to them.

Karl Popper's position on this issue is a cop-out. See the last paragraph of the relevant SEP entry: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/induction-problem/

> Popper’s account appears to be incomplete in an important way. There are always many hypotheses which have not yet been refuted by the evidence, and these may contradict one another. According to the strictly deductive framework, since none are yet falsified, they are all on an equal footing. Yet, scientists will typically want to say that one is better supported by the evidence than the others. We seem to need more than just deductive reasoning to support practical decision-making (Salmon 1981). Popper did indeed appeal to a notion of one hypothesis being better or worse “corroborated” by the evidence. But arguably, this took him away from a strictly deductive view of science. It appears doubtful then that pure deductivism can give an adequate account of scientific method.
They do release the source mapping of the java version alongside the binary. Which can be used to decompile the whole game back to compilable java file. (And you can fiddle it around starting from there). It's source available if you do own the game. So I say 'basically'.

The bedrock version on the other hand is completely proprietary. With very little extension api exposed. So there is very few mods of them.
