What is the argument here, exactly?

by njtransit 2y ago
No, I'm sorry, you are not correct. I am not conflating internal implementation with whether or not it is useful. Rather, I am evaluating the opportunity cost, i.e. comparing this library to the "next best thing." For this li

No, the library would be better if it provided some utility. As it stands, it provides negative utility.

But nothing about the API is specific to pagination. This library essentially is just two other API calls: marshal and seal. It can do this operation on any marshal-able type. By using this library, you lose control over marshaling, which s

Additionally, there are lots of examples where cheaper production has produced an inferior product yet the difference in price causes the inferior product to usurp in superior product. Building materials exhibit this effect frequently: plas

Thanks. That is interesting. Did you use AI for just the front end components, or were you also able to reliably use the output for the ML portions, or were those simply offloaded to other services via API call?

Can you share some examples?

One difference between dark matter and Neptune is that the existence of Neptune is falsifiable. The formulation of dark matter inherently is not. Falsifiable hypotheses is the cornerstone of science.

Perhaps it’s just me, but I’ve cooked recipes off of 50 year old, grease stained index cards written in barely legible cursive, whose ink has all but rubbed entirely away. And it was fine. Worrying about recipe format is like trying to impr

Comparing going down with the ship to dying for a cause seems like a false equivalence. When a ship sinks, the outcome is more or less the same whether people are onboard or not: in either case the ship will sink. The only difference is whe

All of the edge cases were self-inflicted. They could have picked a different UX that would have had a much smaller set of edge cases to care about.

Again, most buildings are low rise, especially old buildings, so of course most soft story buildings are low rise. But both low rise and high rise buildings can be soft story. The reason buildings don’t collapse under shear (think side to s

Your linked Wikipedia article doesn't say that low-rise buildings are particularly dangerous. A "soft story" building is one that doesn't have good sheer strength due to missing sheer walls inside. It has nothing to do w

Why do you think “people’s treatment is not going any better”? As far as I know, cancer outcomes have greatly improved.

The goal of a salt is to prevent lookup attacks. Since the user id is unique to each user, it prevents the use of pre-computed lookup tables like a salt would.

The issue is that almost all human behavior is correlated and, even if you have an easy-to-see [sic] method of action, e.g. “brain gunk”, that doesn’t automatically negate a nearly-infinite set of other possible causes from correlated behav

A somewhat sensible take, but the issue isn’t just healthcare. A lot of your life is based off of long-term, fixed cost cash flow. E.g. you can’t pay less on your mortgage just because you got fired. Even with savings, getting laid off is h

I’m not so sure. To quote Tolstoy: “All happy families are alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” The same is likely true for products.

I think the main issue, as briefly mentioned in the article, is that the dangers of football weren’t really known. Now, those dangers are known, and people still willingly choose to participate (for huge sums of money at the professional le
