There definitely needs to be a definitive sort order across languages. That it needs to be sensible is highly suspect. Emojis alone should signal that there fundamentally cannot be. The best they can do is define a sensible cross-language s

That’s technically true, but it’s obviously not true in practice — a 5-min video system means that everything will be self-contained within those 5 minutes. TV is the clearest counter-example (though it has additional constraints, like week

Most datasets have relationships forming a graph, but few need to be analyzed as a graph. Graph databases specialize for the latter usecase, with large datasets. But you could always traverse graphs with recursive SQL — it’s just less pleas

I’m not clear — did you just ignore everything I wrote and mindlessly restate your claim, in a manner akin to one undergoing a fit of religious fervor?

Interfaces/protocols aren’t really the same though. An interface defines capabilities for an object; the capabilities are directly associated with the type. In ECS (where Components are a bag of data, and systems handle all logic/

Eh this gets really iffy really fast. What becomes of casual hookups or third-dates, where both sides are running almost entirely on false pretenses, incomplete truths, and a swath of assumptions? What turns it into villainy is the explici

By that logic, you should be enforcing a 60 hour/week, to achieve even better goals. The problem is that job != job, because different jobs have different requirements. A doctor needs to be available continuously, but he doesn’t nece

the point is that a "single datapoint" does not mean the same thing as a "single datapoint", depending on what that datapoint is and the context around it. The myth he was specifically busting in the original paragraph w

Sure. My point still stands. They assumed the argument was correct, because of who said it, rather than reviewing the argument itself. OP does not make this mistake. He assumes the argument is probably not idiotic, because the author is pro

The point he’s making is that if you don’t know what the factors are, then your best bet is to pick from the larger group — you’ll be more likely to be correct. If aliens are sufficiently common, then we are much more likely than not to be

The logical fallacy would be “he’s clearly correct, because he’s an astrophysicist”. But that’s not OP’s claim; rather it’s that “he’s probably not an idiot, because he’s an astrophysicist” — that is, if he’s wrong, it’s probably not for re

the problem is that "rogue" implies some kind of malfunction -- it acted against a stand-down order and killed anyways. In this case, it seems the drone was supposed to do exactly that, and that's perhaps far more dangerous -
