Most developers have experience using GitHub. The UI and concepts are familiar. The friction for adopting features like Actions is relatively low.

I honestly can’t believe how poorly JetBrains has done. I used to love PyCharm but now it’s so far behind. I still use DataGrip but it is absolute dogshit when it comes to agentic coding.

It's called the nondelegation doctrine, which forbids one branch of government from authorizing another branch of government to exercise its functions.

Because Article One vests "all legislative powers" to Congress, they cannot delegate legislative powers to the Executive and Judicial branches (because then not all legislative powers would be vested with Congress).

About 10 years ago I remember seeing a number of posts saying "don't use int for ids!". Typically the reasons were things like "the id exposes the number of things in the database" and "if you have bad security then users can increment/decrement the id to get more data!". What I then observed was a bunch of developers rushing to use UUIDs for everything.

UUIDv7 looks really promising but I'm not likely to redo all of our tables to use it.

I wish devs would normalize their data rather than shove everything into a JSON(B) column, especially when there is a consistent schema across records.

It's much harder to setup proper indexes, enforce constraints, and adds overhead every time you actually want to use the data.

These types of books are always interesting to me because they tackle so many different things. They cover a range of topics at a high level (data manipulation, visualization, machine learning) and each could have its own book. They balance teaching programming while introducing concepts (and sometimes theory).

In short I think it's hard to strike an appropriate balance between these but this seems to be a good intro level book.

I never liked the global leaderboard since I was usually asleep when the puzzles were released. I likely never would have had a competitive time anyway.

For tasks like planning travel I often am trying to optimize multiple goals at once. I might find cheaper flights on certain days but more expensive hotels. This is much easier on larger screens because you can view more information side by side.

The most impressive part to me is finding the right channel to communicate with the hospital. We had to dispute a billing issue with our hospital and it simply wasn't possible to talk to any person that wasn't part of the "patient relations" team. Billing problems went through patient relations who talked to the billers.

> Also, the rainfall. Some farmers go from morning to night never saying a word that isn't a complaint about the rainfall being wrong.

Yes. Some of them use proper rain gauges but some just complain about it. Basically none of them understand the difference between a point measurement and an areal average estimate.

With property graphs being adopting in the SQL standard, this isn’t surprising.

This is good to know!

I might use these in my basement remodel since I can easily install deeper boxes. A right angle connector cable would also solve the issue of the port direction.
