Uh, so you Brits have this kind of chaps too?

Honestly expanding this point for the joy of debating. Granted, grandparent comment used _charged_ words. Let's rephrase: labor is used to ultimately provide owners more money than they put in. Is that not a fair assesment of the real

This is the way. If the C-suite idiocy is inevitable, as I believe it is, the more moral thing to do is to take advantage of such idiocy.

I believe this provision already exists in screen media. That's why you get some awful movies, like 2015's Fantastic Four.

Catch is perhaps a strong word. Trade-off would be more accurate. Every action in the known universe (and surely in some unknown ones too) results in a trade-off. This is maybe the only precept on software architecture that doesn't &qu

The only correct answer to the question asked is "I don't know the context, I need more information". Anything else is being a bad engineer.

Man, more than two decades of open source and people still don't understand what free as I'm freedom means. It's depressing.

If this is correct, which I partially believe it is, it's even worse. It's not measuring the "useful" kind of stress, like when you're on-call or in active incident handling. It's just measuring how you approac

Never understood the "I'm solar" or "I'm nuclear" crowd. The issue is an engineering problem, not a baseball match. As an system-oriented person, give me a healthy combination of available, battle tested, new a

Another misconception I'd say. "Time is not a thing in math" is not understanding what math is. Time is another ideal object following certain rules under a given domain. Programming is coming up with objects of different siz

Got it, thanks for the reply

A lot of people in this type of threads always makes the same mistake: confusing what math is with branches of math, or rather, ways in which math is used. The way the education system is built certainly contributes to this. I've alway

Is it possible your mental model of what CS is more aligned with software engineering rather than actual CS? Could you share some examples of what you consider to be CS but lacks any mathematical relation? I agree is not a useful grouping

You read it right. There's no contradiction. The famous original bit started with "a man and his son". This bit is certainly part of the LLM's training corpus, so it's expected to acknowledg it when you mention it.

Yes, because it's not intractable. It's just a good definition and statement of the problem. Without that, you can even being thinking about solutions or make sensible assessments. Sharks are not vicious killing machines. Hungry a

But you're also using "social media" a shorthand for "algorithmic-based attention-maximizing recommendation machine". That's the current implementation of the bigger and most impactful social networks. Networks

Agree with the spirit of the argument, but I disagree about the bad design. BCrypt has its trade-offs, you are expected to know how to use it when using it, specially if by choice. It's like complaining about how dangerous an axe is be

Can't believe the answers you're getting. The answer's a big fat NO. If you find yourself in that situation, there's something very incorrect with your design.

Thanks a lot!

Related to the subject, can anyone recommend a book about timezones? Not a technical, programming book, but one with the history of time zones and curious use cases?

Point 3 is dishonest, imo. jj has no evidence today to support the idea that it will be a main tool in the future. An even heavier burden of proof comes from the idea that it could be adopted by mainstream forges, so it's certainly no

Interesting topic! Completely disagree with his take though. > The centrality of computing stems from the fact that it is a technology that has been changing the world for the past 80 years, ever since the British used early computing to

I don't think that's the point of the article, happy to read the reasoning used to get to that conclusion. To me the point is not concerned with usefulness, is with reliability. You could get correct answers out of the agent, but

Wow the way this is presented is super confusing, to the point that your description includes a contradiction. Specifically, of a year is divisible by 400 it's also divisible by 100, so it's both a leap year and not leap year! Ins

But is this a practical argument in any sense of the word? Don't have a reason to think you're a bad person, but if I abandon you in an island with weaker people, there's a high chance you'll end up eating them to surviv
