My main concern with application-defined schemas is that this schema is validated by the wrong system. The database is the authority on what the schema is; all other layers in your application make assumptions based on effectively hearsay.

The closest we came so far to bridging this gap in strictly typed language like Rust is SQLx, which creates a struct based on the database types returned by a query. This is validated at compile time against a database, which is good, but of course there is no guarantee that the production database will have the same types. Easiest mistake to make is to design a query against your local Postgres v15 and hit a runtime error in production running Postgres v12, e.g. a function like gen_ramdom_uuid() doesn't exist. Another is to assume a migration in production was actually executed.

In duck-typed languages like Ruby, the application objects are directly created from the database at runtime. They are as accurate as possible, since the schema is directly read at application startup. Then of course you see developers do something like:

if respond_to?(:column_x)
# do something with column_x
end

To summarize, I think application-defined schemas provide a false sense of security and add another layer of work for the engineer.

FWIW, you very rarely need to make the query itself dynamic. After all, SQL alone is powerful enough to do conditionals.

For example:

SELECT * FROM example
WHERE ($1 IS NULL OR field1 = $1)
AND ($2 IS NULL OR field2 = $2)
...

When you supply the parameters to this prepared statement, the constant conditions should be optimized away by the query planner if you're using a decent database.
No syntax errors is the big one for me.

From the sound of it, they lowered our standards for the Honeycrisp and made way for an inferior but more robust apple that’s better than the lowered standards. While it’s likely they did this unintentionally it seems like the Cosmic Crisp is not as well-liked as the early Honeycrisp.
Sadly many of the situations depicted in the movie were entirely fictional.

There were plenty of critical moments and plenty of drama. Ironically, for all of the manufactured scenes about discrimination and rejiggering of timelines by decades in the movie, John Glenn apparently did ask for Johnson to check some calculations ... he just didn't do it during final launch prep.

Ooph, HN is being HN. The point is that California was not remotely exclusive or expensive in the mid-century, it was a target of emigration from the rest of the country for its relative affordability and low density. The point to citing Steinbeck wasn't to claim he wrote about Silicon Valley in particular, it was to show that this effect was well-known to basically everyone at the time.

I mean, no, "good orchards" aren't desirable homes, by definition. There's at least an order of magnitude delta in real estate price between the two! And sure, your family found a very nice neighborhood in the south bay. That doesn't mean that South SF wasn't a dump or that Fremont wasn't completely uninhabited.

Because my upthread point was, and remains, that you can't look at the history of "desirable homes" over a 75 year scale because by definition desirability changes much more frequently.
This is made more confusing by C++ basically insisting that your "basic" built-in string type has to have the small string optimisation. The guts of std::string in any of the three popular stdlib implementations are... pretty complicated. In contrast Rust's String is literally just Vec<u8> [a growable array of bytes] plus a promise that these bytes are always a UTF-8 encoded string.

And by C++ taking a long time to get the natural string slice type, which it calls `std::string_view`. This type is what you almost always want in APIs that aren't responsible for growing and changing strings - for the names of things, labels, parsing and so on. Because this type was not in C++ 98 or C++ 11 or even C++ 14 people would use `std::string` instead even though they did not need to modify, let alone grow, the text or, since they don't want the overhead of `std::string`, they would use `char *`

It was correct for C++ to seek to do better than C here, but while what they delivered was a lot more powerful it's not clearly better and I think has contributed to widespread misunderstanding.

If you live within a few hours of apple country, do yourself a favor next fall and go discover some new varietals. There are hundreds produced commercially (read: some farm grows them) that will never see a supermarket. Try a bunch and use your favorites for fun dishes you rarely make: pies, tarts, cider, butter, cut them into oatmeal, sandwiches, salads. They can taste so amazing and different that it's a fun adventure. (Plus then you can pretend you're a fancy food person, saying to your friends "Ooh, the Macoun had a good season this year!")

And if you have a bit of land, start some trees! They are a wonderful gift for future generations. Plant a bunch and leave them alone, let the survivors flourish. Worst case they die and you have some good firewood for a bbq.
Thanks for sharing! I like this collection a lot.

YMMV but I've found Honeycrisps mostly crispier than Cosmic Crisps. (I switched in the other direction -- had Cosmic Crisps first.)
Apple trees aren’t grown from seed because the offspring will have huge genetic variability and won’t resemble the parent. Instead they take a hardy rootstock species and graft scionwood from the fruit producing trees on to it. Once the apple variety is grown, repeating it without the graft is impractical and you can't just save seed from store bought apples and expect to get the same thing. An entire variety might be cloned from a single tree that produced the best fruit out of hundreds.

For new designer varieties getting commercial access to the grafts usually requires signing contract that you won’t create and sell your own grafts so the creator can control who gets it.
Apple grower here. I still don't understand Honeycrisps. I'm on the younger side, so I haven't seen that many years of Honeycrisp, but I feel I have never had a good one. My experience of Honeycrisp is that it is super crunchy, almost too much so, but completely devoid of flavor. To me, it's like eating crunchy water.

As others have pointed out, this article doesn't actually explain why (or even if) Honeycrisp has gotten worse. One thing I will add to this discussion, though I don't know if it is true in the case of Honeycrisp, is that it is definitely not a matter of breeding (nor selective breeding, breeding for storage, etc): in order to produce more apple trees, Honeycrisps (or any other variety) aren't bred, they are asexually propagated through grafting. That means all Honeycrisp trees are more-or-less genetically identical.

That said, just like any organism, as trees grow and produce new cells at the tips of branches, there is always a chance for a mutation. Sometimes these branch mutations (called "sports") have visible genetic differences: stronger coloration, earlier ripening, or perhaps earlier storage (though this is harder to notice). This is how Red Delicious went from a wonderful apple to tasteless, mealy cardboard: sports were selected over time that prioritized storage and color over texture and flavor.

As an apple grower, I have had the opportunity to taste Honeycrisps straight off the tree, and to me, they taste just as flavorless as the ones I get from the store. I grow almost all heirloom varieties, and I can tell you there is one that for me is head-and-shoulders above the rest: Wickson Crab. If you are in California, I recommend marking your calendar for September to search this variety out at the farmers markets (or better, plant a tree yourself!). There are many other wonderful varieties that stand out from grocery store apples. In a pinch, I'll get a Pink Lady from the store, as I find it's the most flavorful of the commonly available apples, but I find they sit heavy in my stomach in a way that homegrown or farmer's market apples don't. I believe this is to do with the fact that apples available at the grocery store are picked early, before the starches have converted into sugars, so the higher starch content may be harder to digest.

Hint: any apple with an "apple green" undercoat is underripe; to pick a ripe apple, wait for that bright green to mellow out or change colors. For redder apples, it can be harder to see, but most apples have some green visible under the red (Pink Lady is again a great example of this). And yes, Granny Smith apples are so sour precisely because they are picked and sold underripe; a ripe Granny Smith is yellow and sweet.
Its not roundabout at all
I love garden grown tomatoes but am frequently disappointed by the flavorless, watery, mushy ones that show up in my sandwiches and salads when I eat out. Seasonality is a factor, maybe.

Your /research link doesn't work.

It seems your company produces a deep sleep headband. I'm interested in these sorts of products because I want more deep sleep (for myself, and for family) while lifestyle factors (mostly kids) make that very difficult.

The last product I tried was the Philips deep sleep headband (which, unfortunately, never appeared in Netherlands, I had to import it from the US even though Philips is a Dutch company).

The main problem I had was that the headband is not compatible with ear plugs. Without ear plus, I get woken up very easily, either by outside traffic or by people in the household going to the toilet. The sound insulation in my house is terrible, and it cannot be improved short of tearing down all the walls and rebuilding them. So now I use a pair of really good ear plugs, and I also put a noise cancelling head phone over that to block out extra sounds.

Would it be possible to combine a deep sleep headband with a good ear plug? Or better: would it be possible to combine with that, and also noise cancelling headphones?
> The date is not informative.

It’s not supposed to be informative. It’s not supposed to be parsed. It’s a version identifier. The date is much better than a commit hash or an opaque number for this.

Using semver for an external API is not a good fit at all. Compatibility is binary: it’s compatible or it’s not.

If it’s not compatible, it’s a new version.

Think on this a bit, and consider how this applies to a service as a whole, and you’ll finally understand what everyone has been telling you.

I was buying them for my daughter to eat at lunch at school and she sent me a picture of her honercrisp compared to her friends' apples. It was like midgets versus Giants... Giants for the win
That site is a single person's opinion. He acknowledges that Fuji is many (most?) people's favorite variety among people who have a favorite variety but then rates it poorly to be controversial. The comment section of his review shows that his clickbait strategy was successful.

Yes? I think you’re suggesting that the existence of old machines would be good for the poor. That’s true. However, manufacturers don’t make used machines. They only make new ones. So the forces of supply and demand do not apply.

I find it weird if a distribution doesn't have it.

At the end of the day, a big selling point for FOSS products is always going to be the free-beer aspect. Bits are free, take as many as you want.

But there's also the appeal of centralized management through the distribution. Even if it's technically an opt-in checkbox during the installer, it's convenient that 95% of your software comes from a central source with a single standard way to get updates. I'd expect this is even more exciting at scale-- if you're managing 5,000 desktops, the FOSS answer is "have a cron job run apt-get update;apt-get upgrade a few times a month" and the Windows answer is "here's an aftermarket tool, and you're probably going to have to script a bunch of individual installers and deal with licensing gimmicks to make them all properly launch."
I second the cox's. This harvest I bought several of each variety in the shop and cox's was my favorite by a mile.

Yeah, it goes completely against my taste (and maybe against how apples are over here)? I had only delicious Fuji apples for example, from consistency to taste (if you like sweet at least), which the site describes as utterly awful. Especially the local ones are awesome. Incomprehensible ranking for me.
Netflix's CDN is optimized to reduce space and effort needed by ISPs to install them.

They want a small box, because ISPs have limited space.

They want a single LACP group, because ISPs have limited ports, and to use only one IP address, because ISPs have limited addresses.

And they want to make it easy to plug in properly, so that they can reduce communication with the ISP.

These all add up to a dual socket node over two single socket nodes in one box. Although, as single socket capabilities increase, they may end up with a single socket node instead.

I've got 2 decades of professional programming experience under my belt and I still think node graph editors are grand. I regularly use VFXGraph / Shadergraph / Custom nodegraph editors for various gamedev things (e.g. dialog trees, checkpoint graphs, all sorts of things)

I'm very defensive of my "repl latency". By that I mean, how much effort/time does it take for me to see the results of my change in action? Every node editor that's found its way into my workflow brings that latency down to real time.

They provide much more information so much faster about every change you're making as you're making it. It's like a causality scope. If the widget you're tuning/iterating on benefits from that, they're a joy.

I'm with all the folks who say they've swapped Honeycrisp for Cosmic Crisp. The Honeycrisp I get now is a poor shadow of what it used to be. This article is very interesting.

Interesting article, thanks for sharing! I believe the things it explains are very important, and not only in fintech. A few years ago, even in the case of trying to keep track of a small organisation spendings and incomes in a spreadsheet I had some of the problems that are mentioned in the article and had to completely rethink and remake the spreadsheet in order to make it actually work.

But apart from the technical points, another interesting thing in the article is its introduction and what it says there about money as a concept. Yes, money is debt, both philosophically and technically it is the right way to think about it. And I believe that's something the crypto-assets industry and enthusiasts as a whole fundamentally gets wrong (mostly because of the libertarian political point of view blockchain tech has been designed with).

TLDR: The Honeycrisp apple, developed by the University of Minnesota in the 1980s, was initially celebrated for its crisp texture and balanced flavor, quickly becoming a consumer favorite. However, its delicate nature and susceptibility to disorders like bitter pit made it challenging to cultivate, particularly in warmer regions such as Washington State, a major hub for apple production. Despite these challenges, growers planted Honeycrisp trees extensively to meet high demand, storing the apples for prolonged periods to ensure year-round availability. This mass production and extended storage compromised the apple’s quality, leading to an oversupply and reduced consumer satisfaction. Consequently, the Honeycrisp has become a commoditized apple, losing the exceptional qualities that once distinguished it.
