Yeah, like the cops have never gotten caught claiming someone accidentally fell on 43 bullets before. Or like there haven't been numerous cases of misattributing COVID deaths because they were inconvenient for the…
Users trying to kill kernel_task sounds like an uncaught design problem. Replace the kill options in context drop-downs with "Why can't I kill kernel_task?" and have it pop open a short explanation, do the same as a…
"Are highly effective" is a massive understatement; they finance their campaigns and provide their unofficial retirement plans. The reward structure is what it is, and the behaviors that optimize for that reward…
The flag button is the report button. Flagging puts stuff in the moderation queue to be reviewed for abuse / spam. Please don't abuse it for other purposes. Downvotes exist, but are hidden until you've posted more than…
Elixir and Erlang both yield BEAM bytecode, which is what actually runs. There's zero difference other than a choice in interface design, which is why they're also completely interoperable. Phoenix is basically a…
That's certainly an argument to be made, but I think you've overlooked the part where Erlang predates Rails by about two decades.
Wow, one character from a region that makes up 60% of the world's population? How radical. Next you'll be telling me that I should be worried because they included a black character and a female character. If anything,…
> ML has advanced so much in those 5 years that all my prior experience is totally irrelevant to them Most people involved in hiring are either not involved with the work being hired for, and thus have no idea about…
The fact that some things are getting better doesn't change that others are simultaneously bad, or that things could maybe be more better if resource allocation wasn't so drastically unbalanced. I seem to have severely…
I have a highly complex understanding of wealth but I'm also very tired and typing into a web forum with a touchscreen. Some simplification is entailed. Particular definitions of wealth depend on what's contextually…
Based on your quote, I think you may've meant to respond to the other reply. But a great many people don't have washing machines or air conditioners. You can rent the former, at the cost of more money and time. People…
We have lots of abundance. The problem is that the future is, as they say, not so equally distributed. It's hard to solve things like poverty when a tiny minority is hoarding most of the increase in wealth, and in fact…
Between Elixir and Erlang, there's no difference because it's all BEAM bytecode when it runs. Between arbitrary individual functions you might encounter, there can be differences, but only in the sense that it could…
It's often worth parsing "people would like" as "marketers think people would like." Or even, "although people would like, someone's trying to maximize profit margins." And that second one is notably is taken within the…
The two named species from the research are Homo sapiens denisova and Homo sapiens neanderthalensis. We're Homo sapiens sapiens, because we ate the wise-wise fruit. (The other two are nameless data ghosts at this point,…
Addresses that are obviously professionally inappropriate are one thing. Otherwise I pay approximately zero attention to them, outside the context of "do I have the right one" and "how likely is this to be a phishing…
"Pseudonymization but with an extra syllable" sounds just as confusing as the other two. I wouldn't be sure which of those words I was looking at on first glance, which is what you'd need for it to be casually readable.
Pseudonymization already refers to reference by pseudonym. Pseudonimization is bad terminology in that it's indistinct from the above, to the point that parent has already mixed the two up while in the process of…
Automation of any sort will sometimes accidentally your data, whether due to periodic hiccups, system instabilities and bugs, operator misunderstandings or errors, or random cosmic ray strikes. The exact reason it blows…
That sort of implies that there was some river of theft intent that they were keeping dammed up. Which, could be the case, or it could be that announcing the policy change was the equivalent of announcing your upcoming…
Unpopular opinion? Nah. It's fairly well known that they're problematic at best, in that they epitomize the practices of an industry obsessed with exploiting younger workers, crunch time, and gender imbalance.
This article hits most of what I'd have to say on and around a question like this. It does discuss Java, not Kotlin, but Kotlin is JVM so it really doesn't change the answer meaningfully.…
There is no "but you're good enough for the grant if you're good enough for the core" or "lose the 15k" or whatever. It's not there to be an independent program, it's there so they can cover bets they otherwise lack the…
The longer I've been around open source, the less it's seemed like some ideological adventure where we extend human knowledge and capabilities for its own sake, while looking more and more like a set of intentionally…
Because users never wanted mathematical randomness. They wanted variety. Not that saying "random" is wrong, but users mostly mean it in a colloquial sense, while programmers are apt to interpret it in a technical sense.…
