Salesforce has the ability for users to define their own bespoke data models. This modeling is nearly always done by sales people who may or may not be good at sales, but are almost never good at data modeling - not an insult, simply stating that data modeling isn't their job - and so the models are almost always a mess. The problems flow from there
How does this connect to Gelsinger's retirement, announced yesterday? The comments on that news were all doom and gloom, so I had expected more negative news today. Not a product launch. But I'm just some guy on HN, what do I know?
If I'm reading this right, they were able to build a certain kind of polyurethane that is easier for enzymes to break down. Neat, but won't do much to help recycle any plastic that has already been manufactured, I'm afraid.
I'm having trouble understanding the use of v8. It can be pretty much any bits as long as it has 1000 in the right spot? It strikes me as too minimal to be useful. I must be missing something
This gets to an essential point about LLMs - they are the ultimate intern. Anything you wouldn't ask an intern to do, you probably don't want to ask the LLM to do either. And you certainly want to at least spot check the results. But for army-of-intern problems like this one, they are revolutionary
The Rust team prioritized keeping the standard library small, and allowing important but inessential functionality to live outside the stdlib and keep their own release schedule.
MS has massive resources and can align the many many modules of .NET into major releases. The Rust project does not.
I am not getting a good sense from the website of what is special or unique about Shen. The top line feature (above the actual list of features) is the presence of an "S series kernel" which as far as I can tell is Shen-specific. After that the top feature is pattern matching, which has become common in the mainstream languages lately (Java and Ruby come to mind)
A little further digging shows that this language is a Lisp. Great! I love lisps and functional programming, and I have a particular soft spot for Clojure. Are there any domains where this language would excel and CLJ would not?
I'm not sure there's one single zeitgeist for them to align with. They could be in tune with the cultural attitude of the majority and still run afoul of millions of people
So, to get decent (market rate) compensation from Meta, you need 1-3 job offers of similar prestige and comp level. But if you have those, why would you ever take a job at Meta?
Great outcome for La Colombe! The quality of their cafes in Philly have been going downhill for a while and this move won't halt that. But if there's one thing we have enough of here it's coffee shops.
From the Verge article[0] on this device, it was designed from the ground up to a) only need parts that they could actually get during the pandemic, and b) sell for less than $300.
I think this looks really cool and I want my in-laws to gift it to me for the holidays.
The Princess Di Eagles jacket is iconic here in Philly! The Kelly Green era is having a moment here in general, so M&N picked the right time for this particular throwback. It's more of a Philly retro hipster thing, as I see it, than a we live Diana thing.
You are missing option d), raise the standard of living so that no one lives in poverty, and no one feels that stealing is the best way to get what they want.
