You're not far off from describing various lisp modes on emacs. Not trying to derail, but just share some existing art in the space. Take a look at SLIME+swank for Common Lisp, or Geiser for Scheme, or Cider for Clojure. A common archi

Make sure you have legally obtained copies of porn if you do this. Unfortunately, it does not seem unreasonable to me that doubly illicit images (copyright-violating porn) could lead to a cause of action against the holder of the hard drive

In legal terms, a contract is an enforceable agreement; by definition if it is illegal or void or unenforceable, it is not a contract. Breach is a thing you do to a contract. Therefore you can't breach an illegal contract - you never

In what world does this not just become a contractually required insurance policy covering Amazon, paid for by the third party. Granted, whoever pays in name, the cost will be passed on to consumers.

It's a matter of tense. I think we're all agreeing in this sub-thread. I am focusing (perhaps too much) on the tense issues. Without tense, "no password reset mechanism", to continue using the same example, represents a

This directly contradicts your own prior statement, made in the present tense: > name and DOB are not unique, but this doesn't stop them being near universally used as primary identifier in healthcare information systems

I've worked with several large healthcare organizations in a consulting capacity. You would be laughed out of a room for suggesting SSN or name and birthday as the primary identifier for an individual. All used an internal patient ID.

I responded in more depth to a sibling[0]. SSNs are not valid for use in uniquely identifying individuals. If you try to use an SSN as a primary key for U.S. individuals you are in for a world of pain. [0] https://news.ycombinato

You make a really good argument. Especially the external binaries part convinces me that shell is much more on the facetious end of that response spectrum. I would argue that it is unfair to compare different implementations of shell, thoug

The proverb is "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." It posits a scenario with three birds, one held in the hand, and two free in the bush. We can assume all bird have the same intrinsic value. If each bird has the same i

Just a note, that the idiom, "bird in the hand" is a statement that one should value that which they already possess over that which they do not yet possess, even if the latter is ostensibly worth more than the former. The full pr

They mentioned in the article that they are using SQL Servers clustered columnstore index. This is a poor name, as it's more than just an index. CCI in SQL Server is an on-disk storage format that is a highly compressed columnstore.

There is a delightful market of very small fanless boxes on AliExpress that typically just throws a 15W laptop CPU into an aluminum case. Turns out if you slap a couple pounds of aluminum onto the CPU, it will stay pretty cool. I have a sma
