There is so much code out there to help you do typed params and to stop you having to concat strings to make queries. You don't need an orm for this.

I'm talking about the hard problem, which is nothing to do with whether a system can analyse/reflect on inputs. Non concious computers can do this. The truth may be that analog computation in physical systems like the brain result

So debate becomes arguing about the meaning of words. Frustrating.

Humanism replaces faith in God with faith in humans. It professed to free us from religion as we were told we don't need a God in order to make decisions. The fact that we never had a God to help us make decisions seems to go unnoticed

The ethical dilemma bit of this is nothing to do with technology, it's about our ability to study ourselves without our findings being controlled by our stupid reactionary politics and lack of trust in our institutions. We don't b

I agree that trying to eliminate a class of bugs through language design is a good thing to try, absolutely. I just mean to say that the idea that you inherently make your software more reliable by "rewriting in Rust" is false. I

You get rid of bugs by working hard and testing, not language features. I feel like the safety that Rust offers is balanced out by the complexity it introduces. I don't understand why anyone would rewrite in Rust to try and get rid of

The same reaction as always. Yes, fine, all the radar logs and pilot testimony and cameras on planes and astronuaght accounts and UK government files are zero evidence. I don't understand how anyone who isn't wilfully ignorant can

Insurance company I use to work for made it really difficult to actually buy their car insurance online cos they'd virtually always loose money if you bought their online deals. The website tried to get you to phone with your quote so

We went to visit the whales. We did not try and find out who their leader was, learn their language or attempt to introduce ourselves before habitually invading their environment and studying them. our problem with thinking about et is that
