Even if it wasn’t overexposed, it’s not like it’d end up as a single transparent house superimposed on its absence… you’re just going to end up either layers and layers of transparent objects and render it unparsable. Over a thousand years,

I mean... a normal view hits all of the same properties, and is literally querying the original table. Materialization is an entirely orthogonal concern as far as I can think of.

Why materialize? A normal view is sufficient

But that’s resolvable under other standard frameworks, specifically those covering mental impairment. You can make drinking legal, while still making drunk driving or public nuisance punishable.

It’s more like: if something has a tree structure, and the project scope is not 100% finalized, then more likely then not tree operations are going to eventually be requested. The cost savings from the hack is so low versus a standard tree

I don’t know if it’s really that interesting; reputation is just a fundamental currency required to facilitate trade when it can’t be guaranteed otherwise — there is in fact an honor amongst thieves. These arm-chair game theory arguments te

With no reputation, you’re presumably less likely to have victims pay up. You want to build reputation so you can get consistent profit from these extortions.

Coincidentally I came to the same conclusion for video games; you can generally assume that a game won’t be much good if the menu options have input/animation lag — my theory being that any game designer who actually liked playing thei

Unless you’re in full apocalypse mode, every man for themselves, I’d expect for the most case people will learn from their neighbors quickly enough — as long as a survivable subset of the population knows what they’re doing What’s going to

You’re still going to pay the cost of maintaining referential integrity — you’re just doing it on the app side. You can do it faster by being not-correct — eg you don’t need a lock if you ignore race conditions — but it’s not like the datab

From my PoV I find roguelikes to be a stronger form of roleplaying and immersion; the difference is in where the roleplaying occurs — in the play itself. I’ve never found navigating limited narrative trees to be nearly as involved; you’re j

Nearly all of them, because any language designed in the last 30 years permits user defined libraries in trivial fashion, even amazingly letting you write those libraries in the same language you’ll use it. And even more incredibly, the lib

I don’t think cobol is that difficult; the problem is that it runs on the mainframe, and that’s a whole different beast. Everything in the mainframe world is both expensive and vendor-supplied, so it’s difficult to learn outside the company

Conveniently the goal of most, if not all, video games of course — to simulate reality precisely as we commonly experience it.

Agreed — Roguelikes, and AD&D, are the one true path towards good RPGs. The obsession with grand narratives and long-running unkillable parties corrupts the genre into all sorts of poor decisions in the name of role playing. Roleplay th

Make respecs costly or inconveniently placed. The goal is usually not to allow arbitrarily resets at any point in the game, but to allow you to optimize for what the game actually is in practice. It’s not at all rare to spec as a fire mage,

The problem with most RPGs is that you end up specializing towards a certain goal, from the get-go, but it’s entirely unclear what items you’ll actually find down the road to support it, and what consequences could potentially exist. And

It also depends on what your task queue is. I’d expect an IC to have a few tasks to work on with complete focus for hours at a time. Senior management however, having delegated properly, I’d expect to have a large set of tasks that require

I don’t know, I only bother to finish projects for work. With personal projects, it always ends up following the 20/80 rule — 20% of the code produces 80% of the value. The remaining 80% of code is largely uninteresting busywork and ju

If you’re maintaining a layer between construction and finalization (the query builder), then you’re not really in the string smashing group I was describing. The main thing I was trying to get at there is no one should make the mistake of

That’s just born of either psychosis or naivety; but even when one does know SQL, there’s more to consider. RDBMS’s are awkward systems to work with, and SQL knowledge isn’t the issue moving business logic into schema/queries is usuall

All of the PLSQL dialects are pretty much universally mediocre at best. They don’t (de-)compose well, they don’t version-control well, they don’t document well, they don’t debug well — they pretty much lack any of the learnings and tooling
