Allegedly, according to the same political factions that aggressively bombed Iran just weeks later.

Yeah: Postgres, etc. When you actually need to run graph algorithms against your relational data, you export the subset of that data into something like Grafeo (embedded mode is a big plus here) and run your analysis.

A basic chronological analysis makes it abundantly clear who is provoking and who is retaliating in each of these situations (none of which are located in Israel, by the way).

The buried lede: Israel did an unprovoked attack on Pars and Iran immediately retaliated by attacking QatarEnergy, which has major LNG partnerships with US oil companies.

Are you saying the IDF is a terrorist organization?
216.
by pphysch 7mo ago
No one denies that Iran has strategic partnerships in the region. The question comes down to whether you believe armed resistance is ever legitimate or you blanket-dismiss it as "terrorism", in order to justify the territorial enc

There are vague allegations of Iran being the "leading state sponsor of terror" on one scale, and then Israel openly doing a genocide and starting wars of aggression and assassinating countless civilian and military leaders on the

These "decapitation" strikes can't be much more than narcissistic projection. Trump and Netanyahu are "unilateralists" (de facto dictators) and narcissists, and think everyone else must be as well, ergo decapitation

It has less to do with a quote and more to do with CS education (and the market) rewarding minimal functionality over performance, security, fault-tolerance, etc. The average university CS student in USA (and India I presume) is taught to &

It would have to integrate with some kind of official government ID, so that there can be extremely serious criminal penalties for ID theft. But that's something for the next republic, because the current one's justice system is u

Why are you implying that converting from base64 to and from standard UUID representation (hyphen-delimited hexadecimal) is more than a trivial operation? Either client or server can do this at any point. Does Postgres not truly support UUI

But clueless need losers to exist, so as a second order effect, they lose as well.

There's a vast gulf between "having" superior firepower as a deterrent and "using" superior firepower for mass murder, particularly against elementary schools and desalination plants. The latter is war, at its worst

Automatic QA/testing becomes the main challenge, so probably a ways off. How do you "specify" Skyrim?
225.
by pphysch 7mo ago
You can absolutely encode a UUID in base64, as you can any string of 128 bits.
226.
by pphysch 7mo ago
Use whatever encoding you want? Base64 is probably one of the most practical, but you're not obligated to use that.

The "underlying problem" here, for Blizzard, is shareholder value, and they understand it well. The decision to dedicate developer resources to re-releasing old content is driven by careful assessment. In most cases it's prob

According to the Secretary of State Marco Rubio yesterday, we are at war because we knew Israel was going to assassinate Iranian leaders and we would be expected to defend them (and our foreign bases) when they go to war, so we might as wel

There are no (big) AI games yet , but I would bet money that the next big wave of adventure games (GTA6, TES6, HLX) is planning to make a splash with this tech. But things are changing so fast so it's probably a very challenging plann

The offering would be enticing if some Web GUI features were behind a paywall. Separate "production" from "enterprise". Right now the messaging is "you shouldn't use DBOS for production unless you are a payin

by pphysch 8mo ago
We bounced off dbos when we found they charge $$$ for their CRUD web GUI ("DBOS conductor"), which they also "strongly recommend" for production use, for good reason.

Do you think this materialist agenda would be successful if not for the religious brainwashing of the "Judeochristian" masses?
233.
by pphysch 8mo ago
There is virtually zero recent historical precedent supporting your wish, and plenty of precedent suggesting the opposite will happen.

> Israel’s security doctrine isn’t a meditation retreat. "Security doctrine" is quite a euphemism for aggressive territorial expansion and ethnic cleansing, which is tightly wrapped in religious rhetoric.

And when was that approval passed?

"Logs" is doing some heavy lifting here. There's a very non-trivial step in deciding that a particular subset and schema of log messages deserves to be in its own columnar data table. It's a big optimization decision tha

Resources have certainly been squandered, but there are also a lot of apples vs. oranges comparisons that overlook advances in UX/DX and security.
