I don’t think it takes any special knowledge of human psychology to understand that horrific images can cause emotional trauma. I think it’s a basic due diligence question that when considering establishing such a position, one should cons

I have a lot of questions. The nature of the job really sucks. This is not unusual; there are lots of sucky jobs. So my concern is really whether the employees were informed what they would be exposed to. Also I’m wondering why they didn’

I thought the primary value of Kanban was about collaboration. What is the purpose of a 1-person kanban? How do you collaborate with local storage?

Maybe I’m not your target audience but Yikes! Your pricing was unexpectedly high. Also it’s not clear what premium features were or why MFA is a premium feature but only available at top tiers.

I think that all kinds of jargon and style canons (like using latex for academic papers or the special unwritten rules for formatting movie scripts) are primarily an in-group/out-group mechanism. By communicating in the “expected” way,

Maybe we should manufacture and stockpile mirror antibiotics, in case of accidental or intentional release of such organisms. This appeals to me both as a defensive/protective measure and as a deterrent to others who might look to weap

I versioned the databases and my use case didn’t require strong consistency.

by efitz 2y ago
I actually versioned my database file - I had a small metadata table with version number and creation time. Then in the output from each of my other functions, I included the database version number. So all my output could be subsequently

The article discusses the specific use case of serverless computing, e.g. AWS Lambda, and how a central database doesn't always work well with apps constructed in a serverless fashion. I was immediately interested in this post because

This is not true and is a very common misunderstanding of modern wealth. Elon Musk owns hundreds of billions worth of stock. First, the value of those stocks varies from day to day. He can gain or lose billions of dollars in "net wort

The geo lookup would be expensive computationally, and also there are arguments over geographic boundaries that could make TZ lookup ambiguous (the author gave an example in the article)
435.
by efitz 2y ago
I’ve thought about the proposed solution before (spoiler: the author proposes to store the user’s intended date/time AND the TZ qualified date/time.) The problem is that, except for UTC, any timestamp relating to a user’s intentio

Mortgage market works as you describe. Credit card market works very differently - if Visa and Mastercard debank you, then you are effectively excluded from the market.

Don't incorporate. Make an LLC.

You’ve stipulated that the debanking was ok but that not disclosing why was problematic? How about this: 1. Corporations are highly regulated legal constructs. Being given an extraordinary right (immunity for shareholders) they should be e

The article’s refusal to acknowledge that there might be viewpoint discrimination going on makes it feel like the author is trying to do a Jedi mind trick.

The law doesn’t literally get updated with a bullet point. Subsequently attorneys have to do ever greater searches to analyze all the precedents.

by efitz 2y ago
I’ve wondered from time to time if we could replace some of the wordiness of laws and legal documents with bullet lists. For example, a trial about some interpretation of a word in a law could be contributed back to the law as a bullet poi

Type declarations can imply syntax, semantics or both. Yes, you could represent everything as a string; in that case, the serialization format is no longer providing any assistance in verifying or enforcing syntax. But it’s often useful to

It’s not about whether people normally write it that way. In the overall context of the thread it’s whether they ever write it that way.

It will look funny to many people but they will be able to interpret it. Remember that this thread is in the context of whether to be strict or relaxed in a specific file syntax for files intended to be authored by humans.

It’s not about readability, it’s being realistic about other humans and making software robust in the presence of common, trivial, unambiguous “errors”. Reference: Postel’s Law https://www.laws-of-software.com/laws/pos

I have encountered many systems that explicitly disallow “unexpected” JSON elements and such an approach would fail. This is particularly common when using JSON around API-like use cases.

If it’s designed for hand authoring it should support an ISO8601 date format; mere mortals cannot author numeric timestamps without tools.

The above posts presented no evidence that the candidate or his campaign spent any money on the election. Obviously someone spent money, but why should that disqualify the candidate. Should news media companies that report positively abo
