I think we basically agree. My position is: if you're a danger to yourself and society you should be coerced into receiving treatment (either in a prison or mental institution) if you are not you should receive housing and non-coercive

Everyone deserves safe housing, living among raving maniacs is not safe, ergo we need to house dangerous people like that separately. Ideally in a way that helps them the most. Shuffling mumblers are not dangerous.

Correct, but screaming at people on the street is a being danger to society. And the choice is: should that person be prison or mandatory treatment?

I really hate comments like yours, trying to justify bad decisions instead of admitting you're wrong. Of course there are reasons, they are just not good ones. They were bad then, and disastrously bad now in light of the climate change

What you are describing is called a "mirrorless" camera which is what the article says will be the future. They also have interchangeable lenses, but there are less constraints on the design since they don't have to interface

Huh, you're right. I guess I gotta message an old coworker and tell them their "perf optimization" didn't work. Lesson learned, thanks!

Postgres is somewhat different mainly because it doesn't use clustered index primary keys. So the row's position on disk is not related to the primary key index entry's position on disk. Additionally using the less cryptograp

If the islands appear bigger then the struggle to control them appears more worthy. Hard to get anyone enthusiastic to fight over small rocks in the sea.

It's fundamentally the same thing, but when the kernel is refuses to deallocate memory you can't just terminate the process, you have to reboot the system.

NEWSEQUENTIALID() on SQL server generates a monotonically increasing GUID since last server restart, but monotonicity is not guaranteed between server restarts. I am not aware of an equivalent function in postgres.

This happening. I live in Europe and number of American companies hiring here has skyrocketed over the last 18 months. And it's great. European tech compensation is finally starting to rise. I don't think it will ever match the in

Yes, those would also be a very bad choice for a large project. But at least they have the advantage of being very lightweight so can be a good fit for adding simple crud features to a microservice, especially ML services that already need

I agree, the “batteries included” approach makes it very attractive for a new startup to use to get off the ground quickly. But in every case I have seen (3 separate companies now) it lets the team run up a huge amount of tech debt and get

It's actually worse than you think since the @version notation needs to be explicitly marked by the maintainer of the package. If they don't do this then there is no easy way to install an older version of a package, you will have

I use this on my Manjaro KDE work machine and it has been a life saver since switching from Mac after 10+ years. It works shockingly well. Only annoyance is that applications are not necessarily aware of the new mac layout so if you're

This is similar to the advantage to amnesty for corrupt dictators proposed by Mesquita & White in The Dictators Handbook. Basically giving authoritarian regimes an alternative to fighting to the death might increase overall utility.

Does it need to be a binary publisher/distributor distinction? Why not create a legal culpability for "editorial" decisions only. For example: if Twitter/Facebook/Youtube shows you content from users you follow in c

I live close to this. And while I can say it is a interesting historical curiosity, it is very obscure as a monument. The main legacy of the Nazis grandiose architecture is just down the street at the site of the former Tempelhof airport wh
