Effective immediately is surprising. Why such a sudden shutdown?

I’m confused because the comment you replied to said “There are no other mainstream languages with a similar type system, which means it's uniquely easy to do very complex things with type safety.”, but with the examples you gave, I don’t see why other statically typed languages cannot do this. Or are you just referring to the benefits in general and not a TS specific aspect?

I worked at a company which relied on significant use of Postgres triggers and it was not simplified in my mind due to:

- Engineers being more comfortable expressing the required business logic in the other languages they were working in then PL/pgSQL

- Challenging to write tests for the triggers

- Harder to deploy variations for testing if needed

Our early analysis of performance data suggests that engineers who either joined Meta in-person and then transferred to remote or remained in-person performed better on average than people who joined remotely. This analysis also shows that engineers earlier in their career perform better on average when they work in-person with teammates at least three days a week. This requires further study, but our hypothesis is that it is still easier to build trust in person and that those relationships help us work more effectively.

Strange to phrase the entire post off "I never have worked in BigTech, but here's anecdotal thoughts of why I've heard it would suck"

I haven’t worked on mobile iOS development. My question is about you requiring to wait on the review process of the App Store for your fix. Would a design where you abstract your parsing logic etc behind your own API be allowed? Then you could make changes as required without being stuck in approval.

This is super cool. Thanks for sharing

And here it's directly mentioned in the guidelines of how 'Show HN' should work:

Please don't ask friends to upvote or comment. That's not ok on HN.

Can I ask people to upvote my submission?

No. Users should vote for a story because they personally find it intellectually interesting, not because someone has content to promote. We penalize or ban submissions, accounts, and sites that break this rule, so please don't.

Can I ask people to comment on my submission?

No, for the same reason. It's also not in your interest: HN readers are sensitive to this and will detect it, flag it, and use unkind words like 'spam'.

My claim? My post said - what are the odds all of these old accounts appeared out of the blue to post their first comment here? If you are taking that question as a personal insult, I'm sorry you feel that way.

What are the odds that 3 separate, years-old accounts came out of the woodworks within the last hour to make their only comments of all time to support this post? 3/14 of the only comments as I make this...

To me, the first optimizations I’d look at are the following:

- Find the amount of time a user can still view a non real-time report. If the report timeframe is days then you can simply show the last full day. Even if it is real-time, using a small TTL and avoiding the recalculation on every refresh will help. Personally, I think users are forgiving with some lag between actions and reporting.

“ I'd like to find some way to be able to make multiple calculations on reasonably large sets of objects without making the user wait like 10 seconds.”

- If you can’t get it fast enough, then avoid your calculations in Python over large data objects you need to always have loaded in memory. Moving the raw data into a database better suited for the aggregations/calculations needed could reduce the time your user has to wait.

Not true. There was a 13inch M1 MBP available. It just was not the redesign that has non usb-c ports, etc.

Same with the GitHub “require approval before merge”. What, everyone with write permissions on the repo was supposed to install this script?

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing, really insightful

I agree. I don't see how any of this could not be solved with SQL either. Struggling to understand the previous work and other's queries does not mean the tooling is the wrong thing for the job.

I didn't take any more CS classes in college because during the first course I took my freshman year, there was a lecture and lab component. During the lab, you would code on a computer in an IDE and submit the projects/assignments. During the lecture you'd learn and then take written exams, which involved coding Java by hand. I had no issues with the labs and really enjoyed them, but I greatly struggled with syntax, etc, when writing the code by hand. I was 18, too stubborn, and butted heads with the Professor about it - I kept trying to argue why my lab performance should have demonstrated more of a competency in the subject than writing by hand, but the rubric was final and the exams were a large portion of the grade, and my grade suffered because of it.

After that experience, I declared my major to something non STEM and never took another CS course again, and ended up working for the first 4-5 years of my career in non engineering roles.

However I still ended up being pulled into coding as a passion all those years later, in which I self taught the CS coursework I needed online by taking Computer Science MOOCs and reading textbooks, etc, and now work as a software engineer.

I can't help feeling like if I was a little less brash when a freshman in college, I probably would have loved the CS major and my career could have been very different. I can't complain about where my life/career has ended up though, so perhaps it was all for the best.

Why is the timestamp field text...

You should look at their plans next time you top up because I have the 2gb data plan unlimited calls and texts and it's $15 a month for me with a promo. No auto pay needed.

I used to use the unlimited data $65 a month plan then I downgraded since being quarentined

He literally wrote "Never been given that"

So the business costs $0 a month to run?

I had 3.3.4. I clicked check for updates, it recommended 3.3.5. After install, I clicked check for updates, it recommended 3.3.6. I installed that one too. Why did it not just suggest 3.3.6 from the start?

Awesome. I'd be interested in adopting it to use for French!

The audio + screenshot + text sent to Anki for review script sounds awesome as well as the current subtitle analysis. Can you share these?
