Human were already on the path to doing this without any help by AI. We already have the potentially world ending threats of both nuclear war and climate change, I am yet to be convinced that AI is actually more dangerous than either of th

At high speed on flat ground aerodynamics matters significantly more than weight, so velomobiles tend to be a lot faster. Uphill is a different story.

In that case why not just use Ocaml (or F#) to create objects in a real language and then just serialize them to JSON?

Ridiculous, how can the average person _possibly_ know if their bank is doing everything properly or not? Even if they are when you open the account, how often should you check to make sure they still are? If insurance is necessary then the

It shouldn't be up to depositors to do "due diligence" on their bank, making sure they're compliant is exactly the kind of thing government is _for_. Imagine if you had to do several hours of research on every single thi

The solution is the same one we should have had from the start: take some of the responsibility from peoples careers off individuals and place it on society. As mentioned above, this has always been a problem it's just that now it&#x2

It's a very fuzzy line isn't it? There are quite a few axes you could measure to decide what is developed vs undeveloped, and even the richest countries of the early 20th century would look undeveloped in the modern world. But in

No, I would say that the USA was still a developing country in 1825, and switched to a developed country after that point.

This is a _very_ funny article to me because at the end he basically says it's much nicer to use threads. I don't think anyone who has written an actually complex asynchronous application would agree.

You should look into Simpson's paradox. The fall in birthrates is caused by countries going from undeveloped to developed, but within developed countries the birthrate is higher when the economy is stronger.

>It has nothing to do with "crisis in Western societies" Yes, which is why I said RICH countries, not western countries. It would have been strange for me to focus on western countries, given that this thread is about Japan. &

This is showing a clear misunderstanding of the cause of these low birth rates. If IVF and government run child raising facilities was a real option then they wouldn't need immigrants to do it. Japanese women are not having babies bec

>(Immigration isn’t the answer, their fertility rate also gets depressed just like the native population. All it achieves is to balance the birth/death rate on paper for the year.) What? The reason low fertility is bad is that you e

Visual programming is useful in some niches, but for general purpose you either have to have less power than a text based programming language (and users will beg you to add that power) or it will become exactly as complicated as a text bas

I guess that's true, but that's not a security reason.

by Turskarama 4y ago
It doesn't surprise me _at all_. Security through obscurity doesn't work, if you have real security you wouldn't bother using another port because there's no (security) reason to do so. If someone is trying to use ports

There are a few ways to get around this, but one of the ones I like the most is turning the whole way we do teaching around. It's been knows for quite a long time that lectures are a pretty suboptimal way to learn, and now it turns ou

When I said testing that includes integration testing, not just unit tests. We do this exact thing with queries that are known to be complex, run them against databases the same size and complexity as real production databases. It's

Testing, do you not do testing? Use the software. If it seems slow drill down and find the critical path and optimize it.

This is not my experience at all, at my org we always write it the simple way first, and if it needs more performance after the fact then we always add the performance. User friendliness always comes first. This includes not waiting 20 se

Sure, but even these batteries won't allow long range which is why short haul was specified. It's unlikely that batteries will _ever_ get energy density anywhere near enough to make long haul all electric flights possible, even w

The problem with this is that agile when done well is actually the best way to build software. Just because people misuse it (the name OR the method) doesn't actually make it bad. And whatever you try to replace it with, you can expec

Taxes, obviously. Is this supposed to be some kind of gotcha? The ultimate purpose of a guaranteed income is to reduce inequality, rich people pay for it or it doesn't work.
