Given the context (especially other quotes from Dr. Dodson) I think it's reasonable to assume that the word "not" was dropped, i.e. "Cardiologists know that these medications are NOT dangerous".

It's certainly possible that you're just more frugal than most, but I'm not sure if those numbers add up right. Even if you (1) ignore the cost to purchase and furnish the van in the first place and (2) assume you obtain 100%

I don't think this fully explains the phenomenon, but I do think there are a couple of factors you're overlooking here: 1. Control over the "distribution channel" is a major factor at least part of the time. The fields w

Not only is the work extraordinarily financially valuable in many cases, software is actually pretty hard to do _well_. It's based on highly specialized knowledge and experience. It requires sustained, high levels of discipline and eff

That's fair. It's what I was trying to acknowledge when I wrote "I can imagine a scenario where you want to know _when_ a record was logically deleted". That said, I'm genuinely curious about how often and in what w

I agree `deleted_after` is a more appropriate name than `deleted_at`, but it starts to run into naming conventions again. For example `published_at` is often used in editorial systems (newspapers, blogs, etc.) for things that "embargoe

> The main problem with views for this use case in practice is that they ossify your schema. Views and matviews are effectively a dependency tree, and many common types of schema evolution become substantally more difficult when the sys

I can see that use case and I guess if that's a popular idiom within a particular dev community it's not indefensible, but from a first-principles code-complete/pragmatic-programmer kind of lens, that seems to me like a reall

If any non-null value for deleted_at indicates a logical delete, it seems like TIMESTAMP is the wrong data type for that column. I mean I guess I can imagine a scenario where you want to know _when_ a record was logically deleted in additio

Seriously. That "Downsides: Code leakage" point is nonsensical. ``` CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW active_customer AS SELECT * FROM customer WHERE deleted_at IS NULL OR deleted_at <= NOW() ; ``` There, I fixed it. Just use

Isn't this a pretty typical bring-your-own-device policy? I.e., if you want to use your personal device to access the organization's private network or resources, they are going to insist on having control over that device, or at

Ack'd. That makes more sense. I guess I took the comment too literally.

Can you expand on what you mean by "song recommendations" in this context? Do you mean recommendations like "if you like X you might also like Y"? Assuming the answer is "yes", I'm not sure if I follow the

I've also spent a fair bit of time on this topic and for what it's worth I agree with you. It is a harder problem than the monophonic case (and more sensitive to problems like noise under real-world conditions) but you don't

I can't quite figure out if your response is meant to be sarcastic or not - i.e., if you're "amazed" at the completeness here or maybe mocking the specialized/exotic chords it came up with in this case. I apologize

Automated music transcription - the process of generating a musical score from an audio recording - is a pretty active topic in signal processing (and has been for a couple of decades at least). The monophonic case (one note at a time) is f

Also, while I imagine Google probably has (or at least easily could have) code-specific heuristics at play, it seems like it may be harder to reliably apply duplicate content penalties to source code listings, especially short code snippets

Funny, it was the "lots of internal linking" bit that felt wrong to me. Not that these low-quality sites don't do that, but I'm surprised to hear that the new algorithm rewards internal links. I'm certainly not a fu
