This is just not the case. In many states it's nearly completely unregulated, and the home school lobby is working diligently to strip even those regulations.

Huh. Indeed it is. I must have picked it up via osmosis, I had not before read the wikipedia page on it with all its underlying political implications. It is the concept I intended to convey, however.

2016/2023 got pretty widespread support across databases for the functionality I care about, both before and after adoption - namely the JSON stuff. MSSQL also already had pretty good graph support AFAIK, although I haven't used

Until any other RDBMS has the combination of now-basic features like SQL:2011, declarative schema design with terraform-like plan/apply migrations (ssdt, azure data studio, DACPAC, etc.), easily configurable hosted cloud databases, act

I'm very conflicted on google. When I am an actual customer, e.g. nexus/pixel devices, g-suite, google fi, google fiber, I tend to like their products. But I have long since stopped using Google Search. I use Firefox as my browser

I've been following this community since the january 2021. I'm 50 minutes in and this seems like a pretty accurate take thus far. It has absolutely morphed into a syncretic conspiracy theory, and even cargo cult as some other c

HN is not one person. And those are ludicrous strawmen you've got there.

This seems like the right approach to me. An approach I've taken is temporal tables w/ Application and UpdatedBy fields. That gives you a permanent record of every change, what application did it, and what user performed the acti

Good health insurance is table stakes. 401k match is nice, but not as crucial to people making as much as well paid tech workers. Remote work and unlimited PTO are amazing bennies. It just lets you deal with life as it comes and, when oth
