Except affirmative action is not the solution either because now you’ve put less meritorious people where they shouldn’t be (I apologize for the phrasing, but I think it’s important not to sugar coat this) as representatives of their disenfranchised group. As far as I can tell, in every environment I’ve been in, this often only serves to reaffirm and even intensify the bias. And the beneficiaries of affirmative action are furthermore made to feel like human asterisks, even if they’re talented and entirely deserving of an opportunity.

There is a risk of this, true. But that same risk exists if you stick with the status quo, as better-qualified minorities are overlooked in favor of less qualified majority candidates. Certainly that happened in the past as well, when biases were enshrined in law.
There is no “silver bullet”. Tweaking one parameter and expecting a systemic problem to resolve is unrealistic (i dont care if you dont buy into it..consider the alternatve and read some history)
Investors are taking a risk with other peoples' money. And their management fees usually cover very juicy base compensation, so their downside risk is minimal.
It's irrelevant to some degree if this growth is real (driven by a better product), or inflated (by offering steep discounts, ads, marketing, etc).
It looks good on paper, and allows raising the next round. This is of course an order of magnitude bigger and demands even more growth. VCs look like geniuses in that case. Value of fund goes up, fees go up. Until they don't.
Is Temporal meant to be an Airflow replacement? The website exclusively offers examples of executing multi-step core business logic and not ETL workflows.
It’s for whatever your code can do, same as Airflow.
One of the great things a Temporal workflow can do is can send or wait around for signals from external processes, indefinitely if needed. It’s much easier to start orchestrating things you already have. You don’t really need to buy into it as much as you do with Airflow. If it exceeds retries or timeouts, it can send a signal or launch a process to notify a human that something needs fixed, then someone can intervene, then notify the workflow that it can keep going now. Airflow is much more all-or-nothing success or failure in my experience. Very hard to re-enter the workflow after something got twisted.
Certainly Airflow has more ETL integrations at this point in part due to how much longer it’s been around and the use cases it’s been evangelized for.
I had never worked in place that had much investment in the ETL integrations, we used dockerized processes and just the docker operator, as it was easier to develop and test independant of an airflow instance.
So, when looking at Airflow some time ago it looked like it was good at 'fixed workflows', something like, fetch last day's data from a website, process then load it at the DB
But it seemed it was bad at more flexible ones, like, load data, then process each entry in a certain way, then trigger a new workflow based on each entry (like send an email to every entry on the data fetched based on some condition)
The other useful pattern is always running workflows that can be used to model lifecycle of various entities. For example you can have an always running workflow per customer which would manage its service subscription and other customer related features.
Let me counter with a couple of questions for you.
Do you believe the point of government is to protect people from harm? And, do you believe that, for example, making someone addicted to junk food and obese or addicted to their phone for 20+ hours out of their waking time per week are examples of harm?
Not everyone would answer yes to both questions. Some, like the original commenter I was replying to, believe that people should be free to destroy themselves, helped along by the external forces acting upon them.
Please don't post personal attacks to HN. You may not owe 18-FAANG-interview-offer-receivers better, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it.
There are two things to note: (1) you can turn them off so they don't get in the way of other use cases, (2) they include non-build stuff like version control, linting, and document generation.
There's also a whole chapter on ar file maintenance. This is mostly useful for linking these days, but ar is the precursor to tar, so this used to also be useful for running filesystem backups:
No, that absolutely is the point of `make`. You quoted the "overview of make" page[0] which does say "The make utility automatically determines which pieces of a large program need to be recompiled, and issues commands to recompile them."
However, that same page, about 5 lines down, expands to say:
> Indeed, 'make' is not limited to programs. You can use it to describe any task where some files must be updated automatically from others whenever the others change.
Which is exactly what the original poster is claiming.
Messi has by far one of the worst attitudes I’ve ever seen in a star player so I have no idea where this is coming from. He was petulant, nasty, and classless at various times throughout this very tournament.
You must've been watching from a different universe in the multiverse then. Messi was class in the tournament and only responded "nastily" to the Netherlands since they were playing dirty and running their mouths disrespectfully. If you come at the King, you best not miss.
Worth noting that France was deeply unlucky. Virus hit the team just before the final. Benzema and Pogba missing. And Deschamps made some questionable decisions in my view.
And Mbappe still showed up and put in one of the most heroic performances I’ve ever seen in sports, basically carrying the entire team. Really looking forward to watching his career.
Mbappe has such an insane future if he keeps it up. He could've won his 2nd worldcup and he's only 23 years old, and has already scored more goals than almost anyone in a WC, while almost entirely carrying his team. I'm glad France lost, because they have the potential to be completely dominant for another 10 years, and that's even without mbappe.
Or 1 goal and 1 penalty, the penalty executed like carbon copy three times. It was almost like kicker and goalie were working on this one execution together.
Benzema could have (should have) been a sub in the final - they even took Giroud out early! But in true French fashion they couldn’t get over their drama.
Still it let Mbappe shine and put on a legendary show
Sounds like this guy is only just realizing that technological progress invariably ends in complete obsolescence. What comes next is as yet unclear but also inevitable.
