What we can judge harshly is that it accepted the 4-byte sequences and failed silently, corrupting data. A sane system would reject the 4-byte sequences so you could try again without the emojis. But if users got errors, they might investig

"those bytes inherently have a different meaning" Are you sure? Utf-8 is a variable-width encoding so it should just work, right?

Can you provide an example of how that would have resulted in better gas cans for the allies earlier?

No. Everyone with children asks that question, because they see the damage happening. Some reach different conclusions about the trade-off, but no parents take your absolutist position that doesn't even question the damage.

It seems like this is a case where science doesn't tell the whole story. The pro-science stance is very numbers-focused, but ignores hard-to-quantify things that really do matter. People see their kids suffering. Masks do have a cost.

That's called "central planning". Central planners simply can't collect the right information anywhere near quickly enough to make efficient decisions. Modern computing means it works for quantifiable things. But when it

Been a while since I read it, but I seem to remember a false sense of confidence (caused by belief in a normal distribution) being a major theme. Regardless, we should be skeptical of the assumption that we're dealing with a normal d

Black Swan by Nassim Taleb is an entire book about this very common mistake. It's a case where highly-educated people often make errors that laypersons would not.

Isn't sigma for normal distributions of data? Is death rate normal on a 200-year timescale?

If you expect your software to exist in 6 months, then the input is entirely expected, and therefore not fuzzing. It's a nice early-warning system for Y2K or Y2038-like problems.

I'm sure that's true but I'm also sure that some portions of personality are mutable at will. I wonder sometimes whether diagnoses takes away the will to make changes. It's kind of like poverty. Some portion is luck and

It sounds like the author is spending too much time way up in the hights of abstraction and needs more concrete things to work on. For instance, writing more programs -- I bet there are a lot of programs where you don't even really nee

Fact checking, like education, is absurd in an adversarial context. In a neutral context, both are very useful.

John McCain was a maverick. Joe Manchin is a traitor. (In reality both are moderates that resisted enormous pressure from their respective parties.) [1] https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/john-mccain-.

In other words, all non-trivial code builds would break? Sounds unreasonably painful.

I avoided saying much because, like I said, I'm not expert and don't want to mislead people. But I'm pretty sure laying your cards on the table is the wrong answer.

I am no expert, but it sounds like you are naive when it comes to negotiation as well.

I don't know what you mean "rarely", because clearly a lot of housing is built and intended as rental property. Regardless, the small landlord who buys a single family house and rents it out still puts a new house into the re

You use the loaded word "shortage" without defining it, and you don't appear to be using the typical definition.

If you grow carrots, you would prefer to keep the overall supply of carrots low so that your carrots will fetch the highest price. But what you are actually doing is increasing the supply of carrots. So incentives and results are two differ

A lot of people place misdirected blame for unaffordable housing on themselves or others who buy, fix up, and rent out houses. It's pretty obvious that the cause of unaffordable housing is elsewhere. But being the one to actually colle

Interesting theory. Would anyone like to provide some perspective on whether this is a reason to not get a vaccine or booster? Is the author just crazy? (I already have all three shots so I'm already in the pro-vax camp. But I also don

There's something to be said about whether we are encouraging bad decisions, though. We're talking about an 18 year old (many of whom have never had any financial responsibility at all) making a decision that could saddle them wit

Oragami is amazing, in part, because it's a reversible process unlike painting or sculpture. There's a certain beauty to purely non-destructive creation.

But should you respect someone's freedom to vote? What if they vote against freedom? And then what if that leads to the same result as them killing you?

Does that mean freedom is self-defeating? It comes down to a simple formula: are people learning and appreciating freedom faster than it's being diluted by people who are ignorant or disdainful of freedom? There's no fundamental r

Controlling how classroom time is managed is not suppression of speech. The teacher can't spend the whole day preaching the gospel, either, and that doesn't amount to suppression of religion. It may not be the best example of the
