> When people say “exactly once” is impossible they really mean in the face of failure at the queue level. And what exactly is impossible with that? Just wait it out, i.e. like all the CP systems do (as per CAP).

Morality doesn't exist outside of "socially prescribed conclusions", it's actually a pure social thing, it has no other function, but to help individuals make socially acceptable choices.

Children can reason morally and do, they just didn't learn a lot of morals to reason with yet. Morals, i.e. what is good and what is bad, is something people never stop learning. Obviously learning moral values from cartoons isn't

It's not, it's an Elbrus architecture with VLIW-style instruction set, own compilers, etc.

> I do not know much about subject but I confidently claimed 100% effect, therefore confirming what I said :) Well, that's not a Dunning-Kruger Effect either, but maybe a confirmation bias mixed with survivorship bias.

Search HN for the effect, you'll see criticism of people citing it from years back, so it's not this year's thing at all.

by tyu2 6y ago
You can try to explain that the effect doesn't actually apply to any pointing out of the effect in someone's comment, maybe even cite the study.

From one perspective types (and I mean proofs encoded in types) is a compile time measure against bugs, while supervisors is a runtime measure. It's much easier and more productive to not do proofs and rely on runtime architecture for

Right, but the point is those materials are not for starting a sustainable business, but a startup, a whole different thing as you understand. For sustainable business you probably don't want to listen to anyone involved in VC-funded s

It's also not random. I've talked a couple of times in my life to strangers in public transport, well, they actually talked to me, both times somehow accidentally people who I talked to were IT professionals, one was a programmer,

You should read some Nassim Taleb or something, because what you are saying is too nonsensical, like there is no awareness of chances in your arguments whatsoever, as if this dystopian concept of merit is somehow actually real.

It's not ironic, such dystopia is particularly liked and promoted by capitalist scumbags, because it lets them justify exploitation, inequality, overwork, etc. But of course for any thinking person it's obvious that it's an a

It's "strong" in that you can see some effect in blood of people tutoring vs people waiting. But that's about it, you can't draw other conclusions from it. It says absolutely nothing about volunteering, health, bein

Sure, but it has nothing to do with volunteering or health.
17.
by tyu2 6y ago
Exactly, it's not possible to control for that, just propaganda to promote volunteering as a good thing.
18.
by tyu2 6y ago
How on earth can they control for that in short term studies? Is it even possible to get any statistical significance on that? Smells like bullshit, there is no way there is causation on health from volunteering. Think about it, if you are

Is it really important though, as the only solution is still just HEPA filter. Expensive air filters usually have dust sensors/particle counters in them, so there is some indication when the air is dirty and, you know, anything PM2.5 i

But it's not the reality though, ultimately software doesn't want to commoditize hardware, it wants to have choices, sure, but only for itself, so it can lock people in to a specific choice to sell it to people too and with high m

You can look into TLA+ without any specific reason, it's relatively easy to grasp and doesn't take much time. And it isn't actually that popular in distributed systems, as it demands certain software development process most
