this is maybe one step short of the underlying need which is "should i play this yet, or is there more to come?" because it seems like there would be games which are not "done" and will have additional DLC but the experi

Big fan of raw sql, but practically speaking (as it relates to developing with rails) CTEs can be rewritten as subqueries, the advantage being that they are linear instead of nested in SQL. With AR queries you can do the same and make it li

The problem here is that you are loading all the votes as AR instances which is fine at small scale, but as your app gets larger, loading and instantiating thousands of Vote instances just to then break them down into an integer will start

One neat trick that I think is relatively lesser known is that you can select arbitrary sql expressions in ActiveRecord and those values are made available on the instances. (Also I think the above sql needs to be tweaked since you need the

What about incorporating Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, and Russia into NATO? Ukraine gets the Donbas back in return for international recognition of Crimea as Russian territory. Fanciful, I know. And questionable whether Article 8 would hold u

Honestly, I fear the resistance being too effective. Russia is on the offensive when viewing this conflict in isolation. Zoom out to geopolitics and it is very much on the defensive. They are locked in this conflict and if they cannot achie

The military endgame sadly is somewhere between a destroyed Ukraine in perpetual conflict and regime change, depending on the efficacy of Ukrainian resistance. Sorry to say, autocrats do not withdraw from a conflict like this regardless of

H3 cell indexes are just integers so you can easily make a compound index of (cell_index,timestamp). This would be easy in SQL and I'd have to imagine just about anything else that supports a compound index.

Yeah each user gets the choice right now as a consequence of LinkedIn's product design. As far as I know, there's no reason it couldn't be "Log in to see this profile". I believe the injunction bars LinkedIn from bl

by rurabe 5y ago
Note that LinkedIn could make this whole issue moot by putting their data behind a login tomorrow. The 9th circuit decision pretty clearly stated that. The only reason the data is public is for marketing purposes, to sign up more users.

This is a pretty bad headline. I don't know that i would characterize this as revived. The same 9th circuit who held last year that LinkedIn could not block hiQ from scraping public data, just got asked to reconsider the same case, exc

overbroad patent trolls: yeah i agree this case: build literally anything else except for the thing that he paid you to learn how it works.

with regard to ethics, two plausibly valid options: either you believe that people should act ethically even if that means forgoing actions that they are legally allowed to make. if you believe that, isn't it wrong to build a free, ope

Thanks for posting this, I didn't realize there was a such a tangle of definitions as to what was accessed. That said, doesn't this pretty much include anything on the web? (a)Whoever— (2)intentionally accesses a computer without

The CFAA is a law about how you access systems, so this ruling defines "authorization" under the CFAA as "had legitimate access to this system" only. There are many other laws that you can still be charged with that go

There are so many things going on here it's easy to conflate them but here's how I read it: The CFAA is a law about how access is attained not what is accessed. There may or may not be other laws that have penalties for what i

As is usually the case, it's complicated. The government has actually taken steps to push us down that road by mandating that all generation is renewable by 2045. Of course that's easy to say and harder to do, but I'm not sur
