Not as cruel as animal slaughter. Imagine the horror of being sliced into flesh cubes for consumption. Compared to that this is tame.

Because I enjoy eating the flesh of slaughtered animals. Whenever I do so I feel nothing but absolute pleasure of the taste of cooked flesh. I feel zero guilt. And so does the majority of the human race. If I were to do the same to a human

You're describing technology transfer from the US to Taiwan. Which is absolutely true and happened. But the literal fact that the US can't build what Taiwan builds shows it's currently a literal transfer in the Other directio

Doesn't change a thing. Convenience doesn't matter. Owning a subscription and then subsequently pirating an illegal version (which I'm positive it's not all you're doing) doesn't mean fuck all. I own it, I want

It's technology transfer. And it won't be obtained all through legal means. Hacking isn't enough the amount of skill involved can't be gleaned from a computer file. You need US based employees who can be poached who are

No no. If they own shit they have the right to do whatever they want. You have no right to steal their shit. They can charge 10 billion dollars for their stuff it doesn't matter. You're a thief. Plain and simple. You just need to

Just tell them you're not interested and they stop calling. Small price to pay for something that's free.

I too understand this logic and follow it to the T. You know that indie filmmaker who spent his lifesaving filming a movie I now get to watch on his dime? Well guess what. No 4k video and no international subtitles makes that guy deserve no

They spent their hard earned money to make shows you rip off for free. I pirate shit too. But I'm not going to say they they took a piss. And deserver the repercussions. That's backwards and illogical and lying to yourself. We are

DBMSs do not bypass filesystem. If this was the case, the table names would not be case-insensitive under Windows and case-sensitive under Linux (in MySQL). What they do is to allocate large space on the file system (by the way, the data is

>Is the wrong way to look at things. I'm not saying you can write ANY code and code so shitty that it's slower than the database. Heck you can have the handler sleep for a minute before forwarding the request to the DB. I obvio

It is an intrinsic property of database engines. Database engines access the fs. That is the slowest part of memory in a computer. The web app is stateless, it's never suppose to touch the fs. Additionally database engines usually exis

The batch request just eliminated io. It doesn't change the speed of the database overall. It would make that e2e test I mentioned harder to measure as how would you profile the specific query related to the request within that batch?

by corethree 3y ago
Your measuring io. Db has to do io too which you likely aren't measuring. You are prob doing 300k writes with only one io call to indicate 300k was done. Then for the web app your doing 100k io calls. If you want to do an equivalent te

Database is the primary bottleneck of almost all web apps. This is different from solving bottlenecks you may find in other places. Let me put it this way. If you did everything right, then the slowest part of your web application is usuall

Its a domain thing. And one domain in the world is expanding. Everyone in the world is becoming a web developer. Actually it already happened. Throw a dart at a group of software developers most likely that dart will hit a web developer. We

The foundation of simulation theory relies on a quantitative probability argument. It says by extremely high probability we live in a simulation. This is the logic that is hard to dispute. Your arguments here are not addressing that. Weirdl

by corethree 3y ago
No read the wikipedia on it. They use probability to prove it's basically true. That is the argument that is hard to argue against and the one Elon goes on about. It sounds wrong but it's logically hard to show why.

by corethree 3y ago
In a simulation probability must be itself simulated. With enough simulations the actuality of an accurate version of probability being simulated is low. There are a million different ways and axioms we can use to change and modify probabil

I didn't think about this. Asymmetry is interesting. So you're pro surveillance as long as it's symmetrical?

Well hold on. I'm not the few. I'm the majority. Most people use smart phones and Gmail and are tracked and surveilled all the time and they don't care. If you're one of those people using tor on a burner phone to reply
