That would be a true description of any pay-to-win game — if you just buy everything available to be purchased, then you’re playing on a level-playing field. But using this description, then the only truly pay-to-win game would be one where

If you’re going to mix multiple queries with procedural logic — eg running query A vs B depending on whatever conditions based on query C, then a stored proc saves you the round trips versus doing it in your app code. That’s all he’s saying

I feel like accepting the spam call is far more painful than receiving it. This feels like it'd be an improvement, assuming the volume of spam doesn't increase with it substantially, since it's now much more obvious what&#x27

The way I see it is the fundamental problem is that SQL is not a proper composable language, and the standard never defines such a thing. So every feature added to an RDBMS is done so as an extension to the language , rather than an update

More than the anime production is that anime-fans are database animals — they catalogue anime to ridiculous degrees. Some of the best image training datasets were always the boorus; anime fans have basically been prepping for ML/AI sin

Sure; I'm calling that unreasonable, but not incorrect. The market determines what is profitable, not what is good. Ultimately if you want something good to persist, you must also ensure it is profitable (or find ways around the market

I wasn’t talking about a one-off group either. Let the vegetarians come daily; they are no more correct on day 301 than they were on day 1. They can make up 1% of the restaurants visitors, or 99%; They have not been made more correct. You c

You have to be careful with this — the playwright should have a model of the “intended audience”. It is to this group he serves — not any random person off the street. The playwright is not wrong because the play could not be understood by

I'm fairly positive this is a real-time melee brawler with almost no relationship to Worms beyond being played on a 2d side-scrolling map.

I think most rules-lawyers tend to lose their confidence in the power of those rules when you flip the table and leave… or when you threaten to hit them with a wrench.

He’s not debating on whether to pay for the game, he’s debating on where he’ll get the best experience with it. It just happens to be that one of those options requires pirating game instead of paying for it.

These senators have no actual authority to make these requests, right? They’re really just asking and assigning deadlines that can’t be followed up with any kind of punitive measures? Are they any more relevant than a random redditor demand

The problem is that’s not the only format they work on, and because input format is largely unconstrained, when they misunderstand, they catastrophically misunderstand. It’s just like the image recognition ML issue, where it can correctly p

I think the answer is that it’s always a rate; it’s just that the skydiving is such a rare event we can implicitly drop the “per chute” because we’re assuming it’s always going to be “1 chute”. If you took the skydiver instructor, doing hun

Fines should still have an impact; it’s basically a reallocation of budget, and any org presumably wants to maximize their slice of the pie to achieve whatever their goals are (personal or otherwise). Ofc, the usual story is that the fines
