Does this mean when they grow up, their own offspring will also have this defect and require a correction? And, if so, does this mean it is now introducing this defective gene into our gene pool?

I know this is an issue with caesarean section. It is becoming more prevalent because those who require it are surviving, making it more likely to happen in their offspring.

How can they pass it on when they don't have the defect any more?

> LINQ is the only “ORM” that is truly worth using

I've been thinking a lot about ORMs and they almost usually fall flat at some level since they are not nearly as expressive as a first order language is. I haven't had experience with LINQ but I know the Django ORM is this way.

I'm thinking the best approach if I had time/money would be to develop a better query language that is close enough to SQL for people to learn, but then also translates back down to SQL. LINQ looks really close to this, but I'd really want it to be cross language.

One of the aspects of QUEL that I really liked was that if you couldn't describe what you wanted, you could program it out if you needed to. Say you had some complex ranking algorithm that was hard to write in SQL directly.

Have a look at EdgeQL, the query language that powers edgedb.

This has got to be gaslighting at the highest level: oh you're doing something wrong because that's not how you're supposed to do it in React. Not since Java's Spring have I encountered such weird zealotry for a relatively mediocre (but widely popular) framework.

mondaygreens · 4 years ago

Too many folks' livelihoods depend on it at this point. The other side of the same coin is the gaslighting that you can't build anything sufficiently complex without react. If you did build it without react, it obviously wasn't sufficiently complex.

Cute, can I have tabs with equal widths based on the longest tab, without knowing the exact number of tabs?

Yes you can: https://wt5hp.csb.app/ (implemented in pure CSS, with some JS to demonstrate that it works)

I can't honestly make it through an article where every sentence is so optimized for maximum pessimism, fear mongering and politicality.

I actually love the United States and would like to see articles like this stop trying to "unravel" it.

> While some employees debated the Slate Star Codex decision on Tuesday, one staffer also raised issues about opinion staff editor Bari Weiss, saying that when she posted on Twitter about her dismay over the anger about Cotton’s column, she “straight up lied about a nonexistent battle within the new york times because she knew it would be a juicier tweet.”

Wow so this staffer manufactured false outrage using social media to incite a staff mutiny and get a colleague fired? This matches what friends have seen with purposeful leaks in tech companies that seek to invite pressure from a captive twitter outrage machine. It seems these tactics are in common widespread use. Or maybe common at least in left-leaning cities/organizations - I am not personally aware of brazen actions to harness Internet outrage like this elsewhere.

mondaygreens · 6 years ago

I think you've misread; the referenced tweet is about dismay over the anger that got the colleague fired.
