That's a little creepier than the time I got an email from someone trying to push a new crypto coin to me because I contributed to OSS.

Is a programming language really a "project", in that you get a tangible object at the end? I was thinking I'd see more actual products and services on the list. /shrug

I guess I'll bite. How/When do you know you actually need an ORM?

If you're asking yourself "do I need an ORM?", then you should probably default to using one, unless you understand your complete use case well enough to know you'd be better off without one.

It's also important to note that not all ORMs are created equal. Some are more restrictive than others, and that should also be taken into account.


Maybe if you add a new variable to a table and need it in a query five views down? But honestly I much prefer using assisted queries like the supabase package, but leaving the tables alone. ORM can be very unwieldy in an unstable environment.

I’ve once tried a "type-safe" SQL extension and it was pretty neat.

Imho something like this is much more useful than a lot of ORM-overhead.


20 years ago, I thought Esperanto might be a thing, but nope. :)

Esperanto has succeeded to become the best known of the artificially-constructed languages.

Unfortunately, its creator had only modest knowledge of linguistics, so there are many features of Esperanto that can be considered as mistakes, and they have contributed to its little success.

Some of the artificial languages that have been designed later are much better than Esperanto, but they have achieved even less notoriety than it.

What has doomed all artificial languages, despite the fact that some of them would have been much better than English for international relations and for the publication of scientific and technical literature, has been the absolute dominance of USA over the entire world after the end of WWII.

This unbalanced relationship between USA and everyone else has forced the use of English both in commercial relations and in the scientific and technical publications, excluding all alternatives and replacing not only any artificial languages, but also the European languages that previously had been more important than English, i.e. German and French.


I noticed I've started being redirected to a blank nginx server for archive.is... but only the .is domain, .ph and .today work just fine. I wonder if they ended up on an adblocker or two.

There was some beef the site owner had with Cloudflare where if your were using Cloudflare DNS it wouldn’t serve anything to you? Is that still happening?

Not sure why it would only be on archive.is and not the others but ‘is’ loads for me.


Oh maybe... I don't use cloudflare DNS, but maybe one of my rpz zones does something weird...

Didn't they say they were doing this a few years ago? I remember all those videos about flying blobs over the ocean they kept putting out...

I had to find a new doctor recently, and the temporary one that was assigned to me was a guy from Texas... he said he came here because they didn't have room for him and he heard we needed the doctors. Why Canada over any other US state? Hard to say, but I'm not going to complain.

Strange, because I've heard the exact opposite...

That is EXACTLY what the post is saying:

> But that progress belongs almost entirely to people 50 and over. For people under 50, both incidence and mortality have been climbing. CRC is now the #1 cancer killer in men under 50.

You need to go to the 2nd screen "Split by age group"


Maybe their website sucks and all I saw was 2 graphs

You didn't actually click and read anything. Hank's page is saying exactly what the article you linked is saying. CRC is on the rise in young people. I'm not sure why the moderators changed the title of this post. It should be "Something is Going on with Colorectal Cancer."

Solar with a 100w transmitter sounds like a huge task, unless you have a gigantic field for panels.

With 15kwh of batteries and 2500w of panels you can run for 3 days on batteries and recharge in 3 hours of full sun.

Sorry i mispoke here. We can recharge the full required energy budget for the day in 3 hours of sun.

At least it wasn't mogged, or morbed...
