The real problem here is that a) OKCupid doesn't have reasonable default settings and opts people in by default to have their information available for sale b) that they don't sufficiently deidentify information they sell. People

So i read your response and everything you say reinforces my feeling that it is better to publish this than not to. At least this was done not for profit. If the data is collected and the data is for sale (and it is, because i understand i

No, people don't need to understand anything about "data they have", because it is not people that have data, it is corporations, and they don't "understand" things, they make profit. What people need to under

OK can someone ELI5 what is the fallacy of the "it's already public so it's ok" argument? I definitely understand that legal != ethical; but i suspect this is not clear cut at all in this case. I think it is similar to

creating a dependency graph between tables is not exactly a 20 minute task. Certainly doable, but getting it right would take time. Anyways, no need to do it, can just do the deletes in a transaction.

I would imagine resetting the whole db even on a RAM disk after each of 6000 tests wouldn't be particularly fast.

You can just do all the deletes in the same transaction and then the constraints wouldn't need to be disabled.

Upon reading this i have three questions for them: 1) Do you do backups? 2) Do you use source control versioning system? and last but not least 3) Why do you kill so many kittens?

Nice. I am a bit confused -- before c++17 it is impossible to capture this by copy; is it possible to capture other objects by copy? seems like it is?

Not sure what up with all the downvotes. I'm just saying that Java defaults to /dev/random and Java is kind of a big and important and all that, so not sure why everyone is giving crap to poor little Ruby about this.

Well, I dunno what the man pages say and what some dudes on the internet say, but I know that on CentOS release 6.7 (Final) I need to run with -Djava.security.egd=file:///dev/urandom or else I can't connect to Orac

In my experience MS SQL server has a significantly better query planner than Oracle. So that' something to get excited about.

2 interesting things: 1) Go performs better than Node.js 2) They couldn't get goroutines perform fast enough. This is a scientific paper.

OMG, seriously? Because people couldn't implement smart data structures before generics were invented? (disclaimer: i think that lack of generics in Go is a mistake)

Yeah, our consultants set us up using immutable.js. Of course then it turned out that some components don't work with it, causing more craziness. By "huge clusterfuck of json" I meant that it appears that entire app state is

Right. React itself appears somewhat reasonable, except I am not entirely sure that putting entire app state into a huge clusterfuck of json is going to scale, but I am trying to reserve my judgement until I try it myself. And shadow DOM.

I am not a JavaScript developer but was asked to help the JS team just the other week with an npm build issue. The npm modules built fine on OS X dev boxes, but CI server running Linux was failing because older version of gcc was installed

Not clear. Who am "I" and what is my networking and what i am integrating it with? Am i a Docker user? Am I setting up a network of a bunch of containers? Or building some software package that extends docker?

I just spent 20 minutes reading various sites, trying to understand what libnetwork is and failed. Everything either tells me that libnetwork is awesome or starts showing go source code.
