> And no where in the Quran does it say to read hadith. That would be absurd, because the Quran contains everything.

Quran 24:54 Say, “Obey Allah and obey the Messenger. But if you turn away, then he is only responsible for his duty1 and you are responsible for yours.2 And if you obey him, you will be ˹rightly˺ guided. The Messenger’s duty is only to deliver ˹the message˺ clearly.”

How do you plan on obeying the Messenger, upon him be peace, if you devalue the importance of his words to your spirituality?

Quran 2:151 Since We have sent you a messenger from among yourselves—reciting to you Our revelations, purifying you, teaching you the Book and wisdom, and teaching you what you never knew.

The Kitab and Hikma are two distinct concepts in this verse. If they were one and the same, it would be redundant for God to mention them that way. Muslims since the beginning have understood Hikma to be the Messenger's application of the Kitab, termed his Sunnah. How do you plan on knowing his application of the Book if you devalue the importance of his Sunnah, which you cannot know without ahadith?
Same here.

I can imagine growers don’t like them as much though, despite the lack of patents and trademarks. In Europe they were abundant and amazing quality last year, lasting into February. This harvest their flavour wasn’t there, many were mealy, and they were unavailable within a month. Their worst year as far as I can remember.
Same with Western NY - proximity to Cornell’s apple research and lots of orchards is really great. If you’re an apple fanatic WA and WNY are the places to be.
If I had an account there I would not post anything ever. Even Facebook with real name policy which I obeyed, basically gets maybe one post from me every few years because it feels too dangerous to get people pissed at my primary identity. And people can get pissed at you for explaining science to them.
They are so mealy. The flavor is nice, but I hate the texture. Empire apples have a similar tart flavor, but with a crisp flesh similar to a golden or red delicious.

Walmart honeycrisp in October was the best apple I've ever had
Hello brudgers,
Thank you for your words of encouragement!

The reason I’m asking for other people’s advice is that I’ve worked on projects in the past that didn’t succeed. Looking back, I realized that one of the main issues was that I often got caught up in my own excitement and didn’t take the time to ask others saw the same value in the idea as I did.

That’s why this time I've decided I’m taking a different approach. Before diving in, I want to connect with others, hear their thoughts, and understand their perspectives. I feel like this kind of feedback can really shape the direction of the idea.
> I find [Pink Lady to be] 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.

I’m not an apple expert, but I’m pretty sure that a lot of “supermarket varieties” like Pink Lady have higher cellulose which helps them withstand relatively rough handling. (For those who don’t know: Apples are extremely easy to bruise, you should handle them carefully and never ever press on them to test for ripeness!)
You're right about the mechanism of course, but the language and mental model I see over and over is that it a bespoke optimization that ignores the fact that it was incremental changes, and that some adaptations are no longer beneficial because they were created for an environment that no longer exists.

I'd like to deprecate that mental model.

Great question. There's been a boom recently in giant tech companies. I suspect that is attributable to AI being a big productivity booster, which overcomes creeping calcification. For a while.

I agree with you that Nadella has done a spectacular job, and that leadership matters more than most people think it does. I'd call his performance an outlier.
Just ask someone from the industry itself. Like me. I didn't met a single "online marketeer" that ever offered such an option to (re-)target customers.

Doesn't mean there are fishy tools to allow that. But I am pretty sure, that no bigger advertiser or publisher is currently making use of such kind of technology.

Besides the "it's illegal" argument there's also this: "it's unethical". It would fall back on the advertiser itself.

Besides that, I guess it's a known fact, that "digital assistants" like Alexa are actually listening to every word you speak and therefore indeed offer products based on what you said.

If $150k/year is “a bit richer” for you you could simply offer to pay that poster that much in exchange for stopping.
> rust-query manages migrations and reads the schema from the database to check that it matches what was defined in the application. If at any point the database schema doesn't match the expected schema, then rust-query will panic with an error message explaining the difference (currently this error is not very pretty).

IMO - this sounds like "tell me you've never operated a real production system before without telling me you've never operated a real production system before."

Shit happens in real life. Even if you have a great deployment pipeline, at some point, you'll need to add a missing index in production fast because a wave of users came in and revealed a shit query. Or your on-call DBA will need to modify a table over the weekend from i32 -> i64 because you ran out of primary key values, and you can't spend the time updating all your code. (in Rust this is dicier, of course, but with something like Python shouldn't cause issues in general.) Or you'll just need to run some operation out of band -- that is, not relying on a migration -- because it what makes sense. Great example is using something like pt-osc[0] to create a temporary table copy and add temporary triggers to an existing table in order to do a zero-downtime copy.

Or maybe you just need to drop and recreate an index because it got corrupted. Shit happens!

Anyway, I really wouldn't recommend a design that relies on your database always agreeing with your codebase 100% of the time. What you should strive for is your codebase being compatible with the database 100% of the time -- that means new columns get added with a default value (or NULL) so inserts work, you don't drop or rename columns or tables without a strict deprecation process (i.e. a rename is really add in db -> add writes to code -> backfill values in db -> remove from code -> remove from db), etc...

But fundamentally panicking because a table has an extra column is crazy. How else would you add a column to a running production system?

Granny Smiths are probably the most tart generally available apple, but any cooking apple in general is usually sharper. You might also like McIntosh or even Pink Lady.

You could also go down the cider apple route or even crabapples if you really want, though they often tend to be more bitter than tart.
The application is necessarily the authority on its expectations of the database.
No it's passive almost by definition.
Hey, Podscan is still very much B2B, I just had another Enterprise subscriber a few minutes ago :D

Quite the opposite! Since people can have faith that they are protected by GDPR, they can have machines that actually work to help them, instead of hobbling them out of fear of being exploited.

The trouble is with those rush code out without really looking what they are doing. They make those mistakes, very easily, indeed.

No style could save us from those devils!

People should take the necessary attention to make quality work (and use proper techniques, where proper does not entail style or other visuals or appearances, not at all. That's for superficious persons). This is true for any part of life not just coding.
Are you sure you're not thinking about Stack Overflow? I hate defending reddit ever since the API debacle, but there are scads of subreddits, many with different sets of mods, and all of the ones that help me with product reviews don't seem to have aggressive moderation?

Did you find buyers for your software, or have shown it to someone who might be interested in buying it?

If yes, and they somehow validated your idea and implementation of it, congrats! You have completed the hard part of developing commercial software. Asking anyone for 2-3k is a very easy now.

If no, you may be overestimating the usefulness of your product, or the willingness of hospitals to pay for something like that, or underestimating the work required to get it done in a way that both fulfills the needs of your target customers and their own compliance-related must-have requirements.

The majority of IT projects fail for being under scoped or over budget or both. As a new med school grad, you may be lacking the knowledge, skills, experience to pull off a project like this in the way you hope.

My advice would be to think it through rationally. You may not have found the billion dollar idea, and if you have, maybe you are not equipped right now to pull it off in the way you think you should.

Good news is you can work these issues and achieve your goals. But it may be way more work than you'd think. Especially in this field.
Actually, the currency in my country (Brazil) is worth 6 times less than the dollar, so it's a pretty decent amount lol.

I’ve had my own software business for 17 years, and a lot of this article read like my own life story.

My advice would be to create a product that YOU need and design it how you would want it to work if it was an app someone else made. Then dog-food the hell out of it.

Also, make sure not to compete directly with enormous companies because you will always lose. If an enormous company creates a feature that could Sherlock your app, find a way to pivot. Always be on your toes.

Finally, recognize the strengths you have that large companies cannot provide. For me, that is support. My customers can instantly get access to the person who wrote the software and don’t have to go through multiple tiers of support to get the correct answer. Several customers have said the support I provide is the main reason they do not use my larger, better-funded competitors.
Based on their broad "Acceptable Use Policy" (https://microtronixdc.com/acceptable-use-policy), I'd wager a guess they'll find a reason to shut that down.

Oh well, if we are going full Ad hominem, not only are you mercifully free of the ravages of intelligence, you are lazy as well. If you'd bothered to look, you'd have found that under UK law, all modern handguns are totally illegal. Specifically, any firearm which either has a barrel less than 30 centimetres in length or is less than 60 centimetres in length overall, other than an air weapon, a muzzle-loading gun or a firearm designed as signalling apparatus, is forbidden. Any form of semi-automatic solid projectile weapon is also banned, so the weapon that's issue in Canada (Glock handgun) is illegal on multiple counts.

Good luck fitting a switch to a handgun dating before 1919, which in theory can be held - although you'd struggle to get a license because you can only hold antique handguns if ammunition isn't readily available for them in the UK, you are a bona-fide collector and central government don't object - they have to individually approve all such licenses.

As you seem to be struggling, I'll simplify it as much as I can for you. The situation that's causing concern in Canada can't happen in the UK because it's illegal to own that sort of weapon in the first place.

That means our laws are stricter than those in Canada.

That means Canada's laws are weaker than those of at least one European country.

That means you are wrong.

I very much agree with this premise. My skills fall into three camps: That which I have invented myself, from first principles; That which I have read one book on; and That which I am bad at.

One of the things I am bad at is finding books. Books are everywhere, most books are rubbish, and yet every book I've had recommended has been amazing. So, does anyone have a good book on finding good books?
For any production ready software you plan a budget around the cost of a new car.

Sounds funny, but I want to make it clear that effort and time of projects are almost always extremely underestimated.

Oh that happens all the time. Right up front, I would not have gotten through my first year teaching if I had to write all my own lessons. My whole first semester I just copied lock step what the other subject teacher was doing. If I didn't have her, I would not have survived.

To be clear, though, that doesn't change by adding AI. If I only had AI, I would also have drowned and failed miserably. And that's despite knowing my content forward, backwards, and sideways.

The few times I've tried generating lessons from AI, they've been boring and uninspired. With lessons, it works best in reverse, taking a human-generated lesson and stuffing it into a easier-to-share and easier-to-tweak lesson plan format.
I wonder what the incentives are that make mass market qualities more attractive to growers than what consumers want. Like, I can imagine a sorta-demand curve with "sweetness etc" to "uniform color etc" along the x axis and "clearing price" or something on the y axis, and I really wonder if the most efficient price is really so far to the mass market appeal side of the curve. Or to put it another way, why can't they just grow things people want?
To be fair, there's a huge amount of people around here that work on the universal surveillance industry, and for many of them the alternative is way higher than 80k.
You can see my sibling comment, but in the real world of operating databases at any sort of scale, you need to have databases in transitory states where the application can continue to function even though the underlying database has changed.

The quintessential example is adding a column. If you want to deploy with zero downtime, you have to square with the reality that a database schema change and deployment of application code is not an atomic operation. One must happen before the other. Particularly when you deal with fleets of servers with blue/green deploys where server 1 gets deployed at t=0minutes but server N doesn't get deployed until t=60minutes. Your application code will straight up fail if it tries to insert a column that doesn't exist, so it's necessary to change the database first. This normally means adding a column that's either nullable or has a default value, to allow the application to function as normal, without knowing the column exists.

So in a way, yes, the application is still the authority, but it's an authority on the interface it expects from the database. It can define which columns should exist, but not which columns should not exist.
React is a guided missile foot gun. You can figure out how to have it hit something else, but even when you aren’t pointing it at your foot, it’s probably going to hit your foot. You can have that feeling of wonder as the rocket sails off into the distance, and then just as you get customers, it comes back over the horizon and hits your foot. Experienced physicists and rocket scientists can override the guidance mechanism and have a much better chance of not hitting a foot, but who has time for that. Most people just like that it has a big red button labeled “Shoot” that’s easy to press.
agreed. Maybe having a schema check on the build step of the application will solve this. If the schema doesn't match then it doesn't compile. Most orms of course do the opposite. They generate a migration for the database from the code.

I've iterated, and right now, I’m focusing only on the ER (emergency room) (since that’s where I spotted the problem). In the future, I plan to scale this to the rest of the areas of the hospital, but first, I need to sell the product to a small hospital that still isn’t using electronic medical records, and to solve the problem only in the ER

what do u mean "pre-sell" it ? Sell the idea first ?
I don't think this would work cuz i'd say the hospitals (even a small one) wouldn't be willing to pay for something that's not ready yet

what do u think ?
Ugh that’s not a quality on its own.

A childhood friend's dad is one of the people who developed the Honeycrisp and SweeTango (and Rave/First Kiss, Zestar, etc). We always had access to the latest and zaniest variants, but the Honeycrisp was just consistently very good. Yeah, sometimes you'd find an incredible fruit punch thing, but the next day you'd try another and it was gross and mealy. Honeycrisp was always reliable.

SweeTango is also excellent and reliable but it's harder to find and more expensive.
