I guess if you wanted to argue that the fact that it doesn't say much should not be mistaken for being able to pick and choose your understanding, you should have said that before. Instead you contradicted "The Bible has very litt

One should not practice these things in actual high security areas, but it can be fun to simply walk around a strange place with a look of purpose and velocity. Not making eye contact, perhaps on a phone. As long as you won't get in tr

Did you read these? I think they actually go against what you argue. One of the passages about "hell" is John 3:16, which could not be less about hell if it tried (IMO). Also the passages that actually mention hell/hades are

Well, it totally gives up memory mutation. Each value is final (under the hood). So you lose an entire category of optimizations and an entire category of errors. You also gain some new optimizations you can do because values never change.

You're thinking about JavaScript but I am talking about Node, which fundamentally uses a single-threaded approach[1] to great effect. [1] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17959663/why-is-node-js-...

IMO it's more that there is value...but the chance that any random developer (i.e. me) is going to be able to realize it is much lower. Your instincts about how do to things will be predictably wrong in this new, different paradigm. Yo

Like, if you decide to do your backend in rust or python you can choose async or synchronous approaches - but Node locks you into async. I'm not a node developer so I can't sing the praises of what you get, but being locked into J

Absolutely! I work in Elixir and I feel very good about its tradeoffs - and a lot of being good with the tool is knowing when to not use it. This tech is very much out of my wheelhouse but it seems very cool and I hope y'all find a nic

SpacetimeDB fits into a genre of tech that I want to call "universe brain reorgs" - structural re-arrangements that might unlock wild performance increases. The challenge with these is that they require devs to re-align their thin

Plex is in a tough spot. Their main market is likely people who have large libraries of copyright-infringing media, but they can't officially acknowledge that. They want to get revenue somehow to fund the development. My guess is that

I think the case for using hydrogen today is pretty weak, but a lot of the details for why it's a bad choice are (as you say) exacerbated by the one-off deploys of the technology. If you were testing gas busses and needed to truck gaso

Being able to have a machine double check your work for problems that you fix or dismiss as false seems great? If the bad part is "AI knows best" - I agree with that! Properly deployed, this would be another tool in line with peer

I think you're envisioning this in a pessimistic way. I totally agree that the end conclusion "this statement is fallacious" is pretty useless. But I assume that a working process would also yield the chain of judgements (A i

I don't think anyone is suggesting it should be over the counter? Of course a doctor should monitor you while you are on it. We shouldn't give it to people who would use it to deepen a mental health diagnosis. Those concerns have

Oh! Well sure SSRIs are over-prescribed and shouldn't be a "front line" treatment. I agree with that. That, to me, is a very different question. What we call "depression" seems to be a complex bundle of brain mess.

Exactly this - SSRI's efficacy was established based on improvements in reports from depressed people and we formed a theory about the mechanism based on the interactions we understood. As we try to prove that theory out it turns out o
