If you are any example, then the reservations are unreasonable and there's plenty of precedent for ignoring them. We didn't ban vaccines because a handful of people are harmed, and we're not reconsidering their use because

We can't put a prematurely-worn brake line in jail either. An algorithm cannot BE "careless", in the legal sense of the word. You are comparing apples and oranges. Carelessness (negligence) is a different problem than a

Is your friend/loved one more valuable than the 90 other people who die in automotive accidents (in the U.S. alone) daily? Your attempt at "humanizing" the situation is merely being dismissive of the values of others' li

And let's recall that this isn't a choice between "human drivers, no lives lost" vs. "AI drivers, some lives lost". It's a choice between "human drivers, MANY MANY lives lost" and "AI driver

Not built in, but you can do this: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION bitcount(i integer) RETURNS integer AS $$ DECLARE n integer; DECLARE amount integer; BEGIN amount := 0; FOR n IN 1..16 LOOP amount := amount + ((i

PgCluster, BDR, rubyrep, and Postgres-XL all provide master-master (or analogous) replication schemes. I cannot attest to the robustness / production-readiness of any of them. And yeah, it really is a PITA to set it up with Postgres.

So I cloned the WordPress git repo and noticed immediately that neither the size of the `.git` directory nor the total size (working copy + `.git` directory) was as large as the article claims. Instead of 32,647 commits, the number at the t

I had a similar sense with the app. Despite the very slick UI, it just felt awkward and inconvenient in all sorts of little ways. I couldn't quite get at the info I wanted -- or couldn't do so fluidly. I couldn't quite do

Until Docker is more robust, I would avoid RancherOS -- although I quite like the simple appeal of it. Docker still has issues where the supervisory process can be badly behaved and having user-level services in a docker supervisor within D

My experience with FullContact was one of constant duplication of data (at both record and field level for both exact and inexact matches. I.E. two contacts representing the same person with say, differences in first name -- Jon vs. Jonatho

I had a coworker recently whose behavior became problematic, leading me to discover a similar situation. For example: I introduced a style / complexity checking tool into various repos, including his. When I ran it, it flagged a coup

If it were just features, I'd probably agree with you, but Mail.app in particular (doubly so on desktop) seems to have serious issues with syncing of mail, handling of connections when there's non-trivial packet loss, maintaining
