Brill. It's only taken an hour to get the first solid piece of info. Now, where's the "unscientific, unencyclopedic woo-woo" and hyperspace?

and where is the 'unscientific, unencyclopedic woo-woo'? And where is the evidence it's related to wikipedia?

Can you provide links to any of this? I'm also unable to find any org called SeRCH, perhaps I mis-spelt it. edit: I repeat my request more strongly. I've looked more and even "intersectional scientific method" gets almos

That guy just keeps repeating "it's hard" then 'explaining' why in obtuse terms and in ways that don't stand up (I don't think he understands database behaviour). Frankly I don't think he has much exp

You raise a good point but I would never have thought caching appropriate to an RTS, not that I have any experience with those. But yes.

Exactly! People here seem to be making a complex thing out of a simple thing.

You're making a lot of assertions without any backup, and they don't make much sense. > Caches, being cheap imitations of ACID 'compliant' databases No they're not, not remotely. > which themselves cheat all d

WTF? > If real-time or near real-time is the expectation, then avoiding the cache usage Because looking up a precalculated result in a hash table is so much slower than not looking it up? And what, recalculating it instead is faster than

It's dificult to refute your argument because I don't understand your points: > Because of the locality aspect, people will assume that it's 'free' to look up a value multiple times instead of passing these data

> The goal is for the cache to go unused most of the time Then you have a useful cache sitting there unused unless at peak time - why? Just enable it always. This makes no sense.

You can ge an awful lot of music onto a modern MP3 player, and have a backup of it on a hard disk or two at home.

Assuming your reparations claim was correct, injustice becomes ok if it happens often enough.

See my other comment. But where they don't I'm sure they make a fine placebo.

We probably haven't lost as much as you think - we either still use it or it was bunkum (for a given application). eg. Chamomile - still used for bad stomachs (is a costive), whether it works on herpes simplex seems really dubious.

How do you feel such an AI would change the game - what would it add? TIA

I think you misunderstand, some stuff has to go in but it is absolutely necessary as a dev to push back[1] on bad requirements, or at least that's my take. [1] admittedly in some cases you can't for various reasons, including boss

The "doubled in price for every 20 miles" bit is extremely interesting, do you have anything I can follow this up on, thanks.

Yup. And the more strongly opinions are given, the more uptight they get when you ask for a cite or two (with a few honourable exceptions).

He says 'I' meaning he's choosing for himself for his own reason, he's not forcing it on others. You might at least respect that even if you, and I, don't share the reasoning.

I avoid self-checkouts because it almost always takes longer; something always goes wrong. The ones I will never use are those which have a voice you can't turn off. Having to listen to those as I queue nearby, all I want for xmas is

No, if you claim you bloody well cite. It's not on us to fill in your omissions. Given that, your 2nd paper is interesting and supports you. The first seems (emphaisis: seems) to back up findings that most damage is done to the adolesc

I can't answer your question but be aware that you are looking through a very western lens, and probably US-centric lens particularly, and other cultures can see things in very different way, starting with assumptions (or simply unthou
