Agreed about the false positive, btw. It was just a hypothetical, but court cases ("beyond reasonable doubt") have a very high standard of proof.

Noice :). I apologize for the somewhat aggressive/sarcastic tone at the start of my reply. Reading it back, it sounded so much "more" (in every way) than I intended.

Thanks. Things may have changed since the last time I investigated Bazel -- I'll read up on this stuff. I'm actually currently leaning towards something like Nix or Guix just because it really encompasses everything...

Just trying to understand... so we would have ~5 (going by my original example figure) Bazel builds and then use "imports of published things" to have projects that depend on each other work?
815.
by Quekid5 7y ago
That, and it doesn't actually support the multitude of weird things that Bazel does.

What about non-monorepos? At my company we have quite a few large-ish projects (consisting of ~5 published artifacts, LoC doesn't matter for my question, but maybe 100k per project?), but the problem is that we want different organizat

The definition of acceptable use (and expectations of privacy) differs a lot between different countries. For example, in the EU, I believe that any personal email received on a work account is actually considered "beyond reach" o

You said "... but morality is ..." and just agreed with me, I think? Ultimately, I think it's a case-by-case on this type of thing. Btw, I find it very interesting that e.g. most EU courts will consider "tampered-with&

You know, it's quite possible for multiple people to be "wrong" in a given situation. It's possible both the employee and the sysop to be wrong.

We're probably going to be moving to a K8s thing, and this what I'm most scared of, really. This kind of macro expansion is (to me) a huge red flag wrt. understandability, audits, etc. It's really just an indicator of a lack

This is exactly right. I use lenses all the time, but I have absolutely no idea how they're actually implemented, nor do I need to know. This is abstraction. If there's one thing Haskell does well it's abstraction. EDIT: It&#

I hate to be cynical, but once you get a winner you're probably going to want to keep on winning, right...? Btw, that's what I think the CCP is: Cynical to the utmost extreme. If they sense that the wind is changing they'll a

Art is fine, and often wonderful. The BS claims are not. (Which is also what the gentleman in the 'story' was calling out.)

You absolutely nailed it. Thank you.

I think the CCP angle is interesting because they want to project this image of 'perfection' in the rest of the world. The only problem is that almost everybody knows it's BS. So are the powers themselves ignorant of what the

This is a "magical thinking" vs. "thinking" exercise. I absolutely applaud him for doing it. I can't imagine standing up for rationality being this costly (personally). I think we underestimate how fortunate many of

I realize it's been a while and you won't get any notification, but there are high-level languages that can compile to C code. Like e.g. https://ivorylang.org/

Nitpicks aside... if you're considering this: Why aren't you using a language that better supports your use case? (Don't get me wrong, this may be technically interesting, but... choose your tools with care.)

Is it, though? (That's a bit of a meme, sorry.) No, seriously. Why would I choose this over Alpine? Or, given the failure modes of Alpine as a container image, why would I even choose Alpine? Everything in this space is absolute shite.

Are you agreeing or disagreeing? If you're disagreeing, frankly, almost everything you said sounds like a bunch of platitudes... and I don't understand what you disagree with. If you're agreeing, frankly, almost everything yo

Infinite scroll absolutely is a Dark Pattern unless you have a very good reason for it. For many things it's just obnoxious, but for e.g. Reddit (or 'endless' feeds in general) it is an extremely cynical way to drive compul

Oh, yes, Vonnegut, source of one of my favorite ever quotes. However, I do think the "unfinished series" idea has some merit to it.

Do you think that fingerprinting is quantitatively different from port scanning? My main point was just that a port scan can immediately identify the 0.1% (or whatever) of the Internet that you're interested in and then try more "
