The elephant in the room is legal liability. If something happens with a criminal employee then the question is raised "what precautions did you take from letting this dangerous person into your workplace".

Of course rare books are valuable. The point is that if you want to buy a physical book you probably will pay $10-15 more for the nice version. The market for the cheap entry is smaller.

Your value to your company is also not a linear function of your time there. There are high fixed costs to training, liability, insurance, etc. They are paying you to always be available, etc. With that said, I think it's very possible

You actually don't need any of that stuff, you can just write .js files and run them in node. The node.js standard library is quite extensive.

Would you be persuaded by more examples of headlines using this technique?

The individual is using the same reasoning as the headline. They weren't getting the fund they wanted and noticed there was a donation recently. They are speculating that that's the cause of their lack of organization support. &qu

Either make it clear you are speculating about two events being connected, or get evidence that links them.

We can do polynomial regression of data sets that looks equally plausible, but it's not real data.

Curating and presenting facts is a form of narrative and is not at all objective.

It was your idea. He suggested it was a universal temptation, you suggested it was a personal problem. If it's personal, there is a community of people with that same problem.

Yep, so now your sort function isn't just a sort. It's a sort with a unit test at the beginning. This burden is placed on EVERY use.

> If I'm reading the article correctly, the user can be informed at runtime with little to no performance impact. It's not possible to verify a function is a strict weak ordering without enumerating the entire domain.

Agreed. And I think that's a good idea to do. It's still possible to do wrong.

Nope, I'm saying that people advertised that the lockdown allowed them to work less.

Everyone was posting on twitter about all the "projects" and video games they were working on during the lock down, despite supposedly still having full-time remote jobs. They also had time to move all across the country.

This is nonsensical. When you use a function, how do you know what it will do? You guess from its name? > auditing it is awful. If a function specifies a requirement, you look at the callers and see if that requirement is met. If it&#x27

> That kind of reasoning only works if the language or ecosystem has some kind of compile time error or linter or comprehensive testing that will catch the error if the preconditions ever change. Most requirements can't be verified

by prosqlinjector 3y ago
The only principle I want to defend is that a function is correct relative to its preconditions. If the caller doesn't meet them, that's on them.
29.
by prosqlinjector 3y ago
I think I agree with your coworkers. If the data is predefined constants, then you don't need to worry about injection. All functions have preconditions which must be met for them to work. As long as that's specified, that's
