Busybody seems an unfortunate name to me, I don’t think it’s a particularly positive label. I think there’s also a category difference betweeen hunter / busybody and dancer. The first suggest search strategies the second the utility of

I’m going to pretend to avoid asking what is a mile and what is 250 and 500 :) I could imagine ways we could interpret “500 miles” the same way as The Proclaimers i.e. as a noteworthy or arduous distance, under which that claim “it’s 500 m

What is Dallas? What is Houston? Which parts do we measure. are we talking about road distance? That something doesn't change during a conversation is not the same the thing as them never changing

Literate programming could be seen as one way to encourage a focus on theory building.

I think the article is trying to say more than that the development and ownership of projects is often underestimated. It’s attempting to explain why that is the case. Because the cost of theory building is misunderstood. I don’t think the

Aiming for an environment where uniformed challenges to estimates are discouraged is an entirely different thing to forbidding any challenges to estimates.

Why are they idiots?

by dambi0 2y ago
Because it’s an opinion. And how would you imagine you could even find a source to support that. What would the research look like?

Are you sure that always providing the best guess would make output deterministic? Isn’t the fundamental point of learning, whether done my machine or human, that our best gets better and is hence non-deterministic? Doesn’t what is best dep

Isn’t this similar to saying the valves and vessels of a chemical processing system is the design and documentation of the overall process? I know that it’s frequently reposted but Peter Naur’s Programming as Theory Building is always worth

I think you are maybe looking for offense. If I say “I consider them a good friend” it doesn’t bring into question the strength of the friendship.

Sadly I lack expertise. Do you have any concrete examples? How does, say the Wiki entry on the topic compare to your expert opinion.

I’m not sure I understand the point about learning. But wouldn’t any job that is largely text based at increased risk? I don’t think software development will be anywhere the last occupation to be severely impacted by AI

That’s perhaps one aspect of it. But there are more or less intelligent ways of achieving the same goal. There’s also intelligence in determining whether a goal is itself intelligent or whether there is a more desirable outcome. Often thing

by dambi0 2y ago
To have graded categories of intelligence we would probably need a general consensus of what intelligence was first. This is almost certainly contextual and often the intelligence isn’t apparent immediately.

And if I do have the device? And I have guessed the PIN?

Which is why I was careful to say that it was a difference without distinction only in some scenarios. Namely offline attack to a physical device. In this scenario, even with the attempt restrictions the attacker has a couple of chances of

In some scenarios that’s really a difference without distinction though. If I have a key to my house attached to a chain so it can be used to open the door but not leave the property and then secure it in a lockbox. If someone steals the ke

Are the costs for the loop based on phase one or do they also include the planned extensions of the system? How many different land owners were involved in this phase? How well does the loop integrate with existing public transport infrastr

by dambi0 2y ago
I stand corrected on the directional nature. By routing I mean that the choice of destinations for the first phase at least is less constrained than what would it’s possible with a high-speed rail project connecting existing cities. Leisure

The arguments about the relative costs of the Las Vegas tunnel versus the cost of the CA rail project are interesting. You mention that the bulk of the cost is actually in the stations, yet tell us the per mile cost. How many fully accessib

If the attacker has hacked your email then they could presumably do a reset flow on gitlab and reset the password and clear any evidence. The identity provider step is unnecessary. If we assume that linking the salesforce account to gitlab

Probably the same reason we write things like SECONDS_IN_DAY = 60 * 60 * 24 The individual components have some meaning that loses clarity when we just write the result of the calculation

by dambi0 2y ago
I agree in general but I do wonder how unusual using ‘all’ to assume existence is. For example “have you done all your homework?” What we are really asking is whether there is any homework that wasn’t done, not did you do any homework.

If you wanted a completely invisible system you could do it via audio. Speech to text and back again and use a two pairs of same model wireless headphone with say the left ear connected to a hidden device and the right ear to the interview

If something appears completely insane isn’t that often a good sign that we might not have understood. The comment you replied to was pointing out that it was possible to record from cable TV with DVRs and that they had a feature to detect

While I suppose you could describe cable as streaming it doesn’t really refute the point about the ability to skip adverts
