Fun fact: the 'fire in a crowded theater' example was originally used as an analogy to justify censoring pacifist opposition to the First World War and the military draft. This doesn't make the example invalid , mind you. Bu

You're objectively correct. I used 'wrong' because that's what the people attacking unpopular speech virtually always claim it is.

by piaste 5y ago
Broadly agree. Freedom of speech definitely means that people may not want to associate with you any longer. But 'cancel culture' wouldn't be an issue if that was all - if individual people simply chose to stop associating

If you want tape-like offline storage on HDDs, you can use a SATA docking station. Keep the 'active' backup drives plugged in, store full drives wherever you like. As a bonus, they can generally be used to offline clone drives.

If the original device's DAC has produced a shitty analog signal, the best ADC in the world will only be able to turn it into a shitty digital signal. The strength of a chain is that of its weakest link.

That just means your phone's or PC's DAC is crappy compared to the internal one, and any other headphones would sound just as bad. I have an older pair of JBL E55, which are about 50% cheaper than yours, and on a modern phone they

That argument proves too much [0]. If you accept that reasoning, it's impossible to truly tax or fine Jeff Bezos, he's only going to make his customers pay more, so we should give him a 0% tax rate, shouldn't we? (I actually

Technically the last move is always a forced move :) The effective part was getting rid of 'E' in the 4th slot, leaving U as the only available vowels. I was surprised though that there weren't any digraph-based solutions eve

No, the constraint can require exactly one column. PostgreSQL even has an optimized builtin function for this, `num_nonnulls`. In a recent feature I had an object field modelled as: type Destination = Customer of Customer | Supplier
