If someone is caught in a vicious spiral not only does Therapy sound like a better option than prison but even just a one time bailout might allow them to self-correct... I still think it'd be a good idea to have the therapy in place t

If they want to require this technology for every device on the market they need to allow other manufacturers to compete in producing it - there is likely a middle ground where only some of their patents would need to be relinquished for

I disagree - at a basic level if people are able to tell which products you're picking up the resolution is necessarily high enough that there's a huge creep factor. I am sometimes amazed at what companies will pursue without a g

That understanding really breaks down when partisan politics are involved - if it's us vs. them you can do a lot of stuff without your base raising a stink as long as it's posed as being against your opposition.

You can't use them - other tools that match most of the functionality without including AI tools will emerge and take over the market if this is an important thing to people... alternatively Adobe wises up and rolls back AI stuff or is

This is a problem of provenance (as it's known in the art world) and being certain of the provanence is a difficult thing to do - it's like converting a cowboy coded C++ project to consistently using const... you need to dig deep

I work on a large PHP project and we've been using a combination of phpcs and a non-machine enforced style guide and the project is quite comprehensible. Some developers have different styles but it's fine. Even gofmt will never

But that research is important and benefits us all - so, with how much excess and wealth stratification we're seeing in the modern world, isn't it worth it to divert some of that to supporting that research? If we're too foc

Because this is the internet I can't be certain if you're being sarcastic or not but in case you aren't... a lot. Life isn't a pursuit of profit and if people's training is solely devoted to that they'll miss

Ivy league schools in particular are essentially just endowment funds with some teachers around to keep their non-profit status. There are plenty of great educational institutions out there but the most prestigious ones are suffering from

Assuming that 5 char password is done in a reasonable way then that data is not part of the publicly visible portion of the request that anyone along the chain of the communication can trivially eavesdrop. In a lot of cases that password e

Grudges are unproductive and bring no benefit to the shareholder - this move is almost certainly going to result in a lawsuit that Epic would be in a good position in (assuming there aren't massive skeletons in the closet). This is an

Personally - never... but illegal adoptions are a very dark side of human trafficking so you may want to be more careful with your example. The truth is that we live in a far better society than fifty or a hundred or a thousand years prior

Considering how impactful some executive decisions can be why would this be so inconceivable? A CEO can definitely cause more harm to a community than a shoplifter and we have no qualms about sending them to jail. If there was a clear men

I'll third this - Valve is really unobtrusive about the steam related features of the index. It does have some requirements with steam for setup but if you want to run a local binary and mess around with dev tools it's extremely

I'd argue that the internet today actually requires more skill to use than it did back in the day - it's difficult to avoid the content blackholes that exist and, if you're truly masochistic, you could try the "Browse th

That does sometimes intentionally happen if the company has a specific visa candidate or internal employee selected for the position but is required to post a public facing position - that's also where you'll see extremely specifi

I agree - a lot of my work is actually meta-programming... I've built the view interfaces, the DB handles, the library functions that makes other developer's lives easier - there are real gains you can achieve by making other deve

My father was a wiz with a slide rule and understood the relations between logarithms and powers as a matter of necessity - he could look at a number and have a rough idea of what the natural log of that value was at a glance. I had a calc

I think it's too early to tell but my main concern about copilot is code maintainability and security. Copilot is able to barf out helpful expressions that will reduce the amount of code we need to write by hand - I think it's ex

You are incorrect because the solution to leap years is approximate - we'll need to actually remove leap days on years that are multiples of 3200 and that won't even make things perfect. Time is more complicated than you assume -

It's been a while since relational algebra so I don't feel confident saying "Yes" or "No" (I guess you could say my reply is Null) - but that seems like a really good base approach - especially having a state f

I can understand how that would make things more explicit - but given how common nullability is in the realm of databases I think it'd be a bad idea to force that much syntax in a situation where id=id is essentially what we want to di

It's a good lesson - and the really proper take-away is to reject NIH tendencies and just use something like tzdatabase or language functions - your 400 year example isn't comprehensive - there are a series of exceptions beyond th

I think that's just a question on syntactic sugaring here - so, concretely, what would that mean for comparison operators? If I wanted to `id = id` and both were nullable would I need to express that as two layers of statements where
