Plot twist: It's not actually scalable because no amount of tools and buzzwords can compensate for the lack of experience in proper architecture for scaling.

And compute-intensive hash functions. Computers this day are powerful enough to hashcat each individual pwd+salt if a fast hashing function is used.

It _is_ equivalent to a back door, that's the point. The UK demand can be accessed more rapidly and properly by disabling the feature than by implementing a backdoor, since it is the same thing.

Those people seem to have a passion for developing package managers (instead of just seeing it as a tool that needs to do the job), and as long as it is the case, I don't see how we wouldn't end up with one new package manager eve

It can take an arbitrary amount of time. Modules are just code executed top to bottom, and might contain anything beyond mere constants and functions declaration.

Code coverage proves that the code runs, not that it does what it should do.

Unless you want an empty test suite or a test suite full of `assert True`, the reward function is more complicated than you think.

Board state itself becomes unique pretty quickly, so you would just end up with a gigantic lot of "moves" played only 1 time. EDIT: so you could define "rare" moves as the biggest difference of occurrences between state

Excellent advice. On the technical side, I believed waiting was due to the lock queue rather that having acquired an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock. The ALTER is specifically _waiting_ for any lock lower than ACCESS EXCLUSIVE to be release.

Most modern navigation apps continue working in tunnels and other places without GPS. It's more like GPS augmented with dead reckoning.
