I don't believe you actually think it's odd to not want to run unreviewed code in prod. I accept that you might disagree, but I don't believe this is a take you haven't heard a million times before.

This kind of frivolous nonsense disqualifies bun from ever being a serious option to me. I'm not building any kind of software used in a professional setting on 1M lines of unreviewed code.

I'm guessing they mean US client states, or allies if you want to be polite about it.

I've seen stories come out in major news outlets about every man needing to have the same haircut as Kim Jong Un. Something that didn't need lying about imo, but people did anyway. Don't underestimate what people will lie abo

I'm still confused as to why folks don't just write executable specs.

Are there other sources than a linkedin post? I try to be a bit more critical of information in times of war. God knows we've been lied to before, by all sides. I've seen janitorial schedules be presented as a terrorist sign in sh

> How did we jump to cigarettes? Oh, it's an analogy. This is a frequently used rhetorical device where you take a similar analogous setup (maybe hypothetical) to elucidate certain aspects of a situation you're considering.

Nothing you say is in disagreement with the comment you're responding to. And yeah, Apple is doing really well, in part because of their anti competitive practices. Good for them, bad for us. These responses talking about Apple's

I would really hate to work with a blue/red function system. I would have to label all my functions and get nothing in return. But, labelling my functions with some useful information that I care about, that can tell me interesting thi

Two of my main CAP theorem pet peeves happen on this page: - Not realizing it's a very concrete theorem applicable in a very narrow theoretical situation, and that its value lies not in the statement itself but in the way of thinking t

I agree with you in principle, but in my mind there's a slight disconnect between a proof of a theorem that can freely be built upon by the mathematical community and the social media integration no one asked for that a 5 person point-

The article says this is the first jet that was shot down by enemy fire this war, but this confuses me. Was the F35 that was downed a while back friendly fire or something? Are F35s not fighter jets?

I object to the use of the verb "turn into" in this title. It assumes any of this was ever genuinely about child protection, and it absolutely isn't and never was.

I'm very happy about this. The fact that Temporal forces you to actually deal with the inherent complexities of time management (primarily the distinction between an instant and a calendar datetime) makes it incredibly difficult to mak

I wonder how those sensors detect a retreating enemy. And again, a failure rate between 6% and 20% is not acceptable. A bit of mustard gas is still mustard gas. And the baltics left the "all mines" treaty, not the "smart mine

One core principle behind determining whether the use of a weapon is a war crime is seeing if it can be used discriminately, i.e., if it can be targeted. So for example, the use of guns (though awful) is not a war crime, because using it re

The idea that all means, including war crimes, are warranted in defending one's territory is one that I cannot accept.

It is absolutely evil. Placing mines instantly puts you in the bad guy category as far as I'm concerned, no matter whom you claim you're "targetting". The Baltics withdrawing from the Ottawa treaty was an absolute disgra
