I think you're focusing a little too much on that one example, but let me engage with you on this regardless. Even after a person has taken all those risks and they are sunk costs, the activity itself is still enjoyable, interesting, e

Doing art (or anything else) as a profession certainly has those risks, but art as an activity in general does not have any significant excess risks associated with it. (I would not consider "getting engulfed" as an excess risk

I would guess that if you broke it down, being in space is quite safe, but getting to space is extremely dangerous. This matches intuition, since in the former case you are just floating in freefall, but in the latter case you are seate

Not to get too into the weeds, but depending on the stretch of road (frequency of onramps, and also the style), I might be one step to the left of the rightmost lane. Being in the leftward lanes isn't really an option at the speed limi

Hrm, I don't really agree. There are a lot of very interesting things that are not very risky. Most productive activities are not very risky (art, woodworking, home improvement, etc.), and are very interesting to some of us. Sex is ano

An important and oft-ignored aspect of participating in certain activities! Even this doesn't capture everything. I am also very concerned about the possibility of being maimed by my chosen activities. For example, open water swimming

Barcelona is mainstream, sure. That is an objective fact. But the person I responded to seemed to imply that the Vox article was making some sort of normative judgment about Barcelona. I don't think that any such judgment actually exis

I don't think that viewpoint (that Barcelona is played out and too mainstream) is at all the message of this Vox article. If anything, the article is a criticism of that viewpoint.

Just more evidence that everyone parents differently. My friends hardly hear about the good stuff that my kids do. I want to talk about the grime and the shit and the speech delays and the temper tantrums. That's the stuff I feel like

It sounds great to have to go in to the branch office to conduct banking business that can't be handled on the website?

I wonder how the policy discussions looked when considering the impact on poor parents who have to be at work. Maybe the thinking was that the start time of 7:30-8AM was already too late to save these folks, so 8:30AM would not make them mu

I took the sentences as being not necessarily literal sentences. I thought it was smart that he left the words vague. Maybe they weren't even really words? In the same spirit as the basilisks from "BLIT" and "Different K

In a database product I'm familiar with, the prepared statements are cached according to their content and those cached objects are shared between connections. Only if they fall out of the cache do they have to be re-parsed. I had assu

Even with that, the SQL would be parsed once per connection? So, the costs should be de minimis, unless the benchmark were short indeed?
16.
by ijpoijpoihpiuoh 7y ago
That's really surprising if true, considering the SQL should only need to be parsed once. SELECT foo FROM Table WHERE key = @mykey; Then you bind the parameter to whatever you're interested in.

I always found the library system in Lightroom to be painful only because of how slow it is. It's hard to imagine enough features to make up for a UI that routinely takes >1s to render images onto the page.

If we're positing users clever enough to modify the client, then such users could also just modify the client to scramble all CP images so that they would not be detectable via fingerprinting and can only be descrambled by a patched cl

In the US, damages in a lawsuit are not always determined by direct, measurable economic costs. Sometimes damages are punitive, to discourage future malfeasance. Sometimes they are contractual. Sometimes they reflect pain and suffering, or

I wonder how that would work. Suppose the UK generates a unicorn with a billion pounds of profit per year. Suppose that unicorn employs 10k employees. Presumably, everyone gets an equal stake in the employee share. So each employee is entit

The state can change the bylaws. Or at least make the bylaws unenforceable within state boundaries, which has the same effect. I believe that is what California has done here. For another example, suppose there were some chemical company

A single psychology paper showing a certain result is some evidence, but it's not much. Replication crisis and all that. With that said, it does make some intuitive sense to me (not that that counts as evidence either!). It may be that

Worth noting that despite us not leaving the union, Trump is apparently getting what he wants. The union basically capitulated to his demands. At least that is my reading. To be clear, I'm not saying one way or another whether this is

It would mean that a lower fraction of the heating effect we're observing is from CO2. However, if we've correctly estimated the impact of CO2, then that just means that there will be more absolute heating than we had otherwise pr
