Yeah I'm not sure if it's collapse or just the bad that was there all along has been let off the leash. I guess my point is I'm not sure that people lost their morals as much as the people with the morals lost the power.
it's definitely a little of both. Founders my age (18-25 range) have spent the last 10 years of their life seeing that morally reprehensible behaviour is rewarded. Whether it be Trump, Musk, whoever - the reward circuit in their brain sees that being a scumbag results in success. The people who don't act that way keep their mouth shut or get publicly executed (metaphorically). It's funny that people still criticize Jobs for being hard when he was 10x a better person than 99% of AI founders.
I had a hard time finding it as well. I think maybe because the text is underlined and the font is small? It is harder to read "into" that text. Maybe it should be on its own line? Or it should be up next to "Full Color" / the cover? Maybe some "copy" pro would know the reason right away but it seems rather hard to find to me.
I guess the only downside might be if you need to push a bunch of things at once. But maybe just a loop is faster than calling extend on a list? This is cool.
Yep, that's the main exception when I said "many stack-based algorithms". It's worth mentioning that examining the stack while debugging is annoying because of the number of parens involved.
Inline handlers could execute trusted code without user input but in a way that was unintended like this button that hijacks a method of a trusted library and disguises it behind a like button:
A real mystery indeed ... Or ... we are slowing moving towards some crescendo where all this enshittification is intertwined: cheap packaging, maliciously deceptive marketing, marketing EVERYWHERE, garbage food, exploited workers, etc. The "rant" about corporations are ruining everything is just real life now more than ever. Finding healthy food is difficult and getting more expensive. In general finding quality anything is getting more difficult and more expensive. All while we are bludgeoned with advertising that tells us the opposite.
The idea that one person could fight this battle day in and day out on their own if they just try harder seems comical at best. Feels like victim blaming to be honest and I hate it. Make healthy food easy to find, identify and buy and tax trash food because it is a burden on the community, just like actual pollution/cigarettes/etc.
Article seems a bit black and white. After fire insurance dumped my mother's insurance, the "Fair" Plan started out with some similar black and white with insights like "zipcode bad for fire" == "you get worst price". Recently their direction has gotten better, better clearance == better pricing, better building == better pricing, etc. This seems like a better direction. Monthly inspections maybe even == better pricing. Repairs == better pricing. Community changes == better pricing. I think there is a lot of gradual room for improvement here. Ie. More spacing between homes, yard clearance, hydrant locations, accessible fire water sources, quarterly inspections by qualified inspectors, etc. Maybe highly exposed communities would have 10,000 gallon water tanks every square block just for fire.
I think it is easy for people to "dump" on some of these higher priced real estate incidents seen recently but this is also affecting people on social security. What are we going to do just let their house burn down and then just have a bunch of homeless senior citizens in the mix. Why even have government? Seems like a terrible country to live in if a 30 year old needs to plan their house situation out into their 80s.
Also seems a bit ironic to me that you get insurance to cover unexpected future expenses but when insurance takes losses then they can just drop you because .. the losses were unexpected. They've known for 20++ years and I'm sure some... money was made... Did they put some away for this situation? Also if you personally experience a loss they also drop you almost immediately.
This idea that we'd just let insurance companies do whatever is *nuts*. Has that ever worked? Honestly pure capitalism seems like the real behind the scenes American dream or fantasy. This same climate change most likely was created by companies making buckets of money with no plan to deal with the side-effects we experience now. Just let the market take care of it....
These companies aren't about making "some profit" they want to make as much profit as possible. Is some 75 year widow living in her and her dead husband's house in Eureka, CA going to convince them to keep insuring her house at a reasonable price? Even if she paid the same insurance company for 30 years?
I think the solution is going to require some government intervention because insurance companies just don't care and it will be hard for new players to innovate quickly enough to tackle such a large crisis. Ie. legislating the inspections, legislating the fire-resistant building guidelines + insurance scale, subsidizing certain low income locations, working with communities to improve fire safety and resources. Some work has happened but clearly it is not happening fast enough.
Yeah I tripped over that line too. I think maybe they meant you don't realize you are sweating excessively because it evaporates so fast which causes dehydration. Compared to a high humid area where you'd be drenched in sweat and realize you need to hydrate.
I think they mean if say there were episodes a, b and c the orders to watch would be abc, bac, cba, acb, cab, bca. Now if you watched abcba you'd experience both orders abc and cba but only watch 5 episodes in a row instead of 6. So what is the minimum number of episodes to watch in a row to experience all six different orders?
SQLAlchemy: "SQLAlchemy is the Python SQL toolkit and Object Relational Mapper that gives application developers the full power and flexibility of SQL."
- connection pooling, multiple drivers
- core layer (can use to build sql without orm, describe table metadata, output ddl, etc.)
- orm layer (automatic class to table mapping, relationships, configurable relationship loading strategies, easy ad-hoc optimization of loading objects, write custom SQL to load objects, load relationships from subqueries, etc.)
- db reflection
- db inspection
- migrations (via alembic)
- now supports async drivers
- 2.0 coming out soon with more consistent interfaces
Pretty much does almost everything or provides a compatible way for you to do it yourself. I think most people complaining about ORMs just haven't used this one. You still have to know SQL.
