I think it's not only extortion, it's blackmail, and depending on how the parents paid their son it may have been a federal offense: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/873

The son was likely guilty of some sort of larceny (theft by deception) and it may have been a federal offense, especially if it crossed state lines or involved the postal system.

In my university (TU Delft), there are people from all kinds of countries, so they have a (I suppose legally-mandated) first name / last name entry, but also a "How should we call you" entry, in which you can write anything you want, and that's what will appear in the UI and class lists.
"I feel this is wrong" isn't nicer than "This is wrong", they mean different things. Ultimately someone has to state facts, if you always hedge everything you say with "I feel like ..." then that person can't be you, so someone else has to do that job. Worst case everyone else hedges everything they say as well, meaning that everyone has to construct their own facts from the mess resulting in huge inconsistencies in understanding.
Because abuse by a very few destroys trust in and value of the system to all:

[S]ince mid-2015, a consortium of engineers from phone carriers and others in the telecom industry have worked on a way to [stop call-spoofing], worried that spam phone calls could eventually endanger the whole system. “We’re getting to the point where nobody trusts the phone network,” says Jim McEachern, principal technologist at the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS.) “When they stop trusting the phone network, they stop using it.”

the company I currently contract for had 2 administrators, a general admin girl and a payroll lady in 2010. In 2019 it has 19 full time administrative staff who are always busy. They still produce the same quantity of widgets and recently sacked some production staff to reduce costs.. Go figure.
I always thought it was the sheer number of people that wanted to participate - 10,000 runners and at least twice that number of spectators (assuming that every runner has at least one person interested in watching, some bring a whole family).

I don't know what marathon traffic is like in most cities, but I've driven across San Francisco many times during the marathon and it's never been as bad as during normal rush-hour traffic.

(edit: I guess I understated the number of runners/spectators, the SF marathon claims 27,000 runners and 80,000 spectators)

Thank you for the honest feedback. We're moving fairly quickly in regards to the evolution of the framework. Some of that results in breaking changes and you're right we haven't established the right channels for communication. To be quite frank, open source and public library maintenance was never my goal or part of my experience, I build platforms and remain mostly behind the scenes. So I apologise for the pain but hopefully people have found the framework to be useful despite some of the issues.

IIRC correctly, unlike HDDs, (audio) CD players change their rotation speed to match the data density, because they need the data at a constant bit rate. So it wouldn’t matter whether the data starts inside or outside. I think your argument about physical robustness is very plausible.

Additionally, starting from the inside allowed for physically smaller disc formats without any special software support: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_CD

I don’t know for sure if that possibility was part of the original design. But it must have been introduced somewhat early, given that every CD player tray I’ve ever seen has that extra ridge to hold the smaller discs in place.

I was writing that in the context of the parent comment about "disabling constraints". I can see why disabling constraints makes sense in a sharded environment, with an intermediate layer like Vitess. But the benefit of disabling constraints is less clear when using MySQL directly in a non-sharded environment.

Since you're here, I'd like to ask why you would use MySQL over PostgreSQL in a new project nowadays?

Regarding MySQL, the two main advantages I can think of are that tables are organized as clustered index (instead of a heap in PostgreSQL, which can be an advantage or a drawback depending on the workload) and the replication tooling.

On the other hand, PostgreSQL has a lot of useful features that I miss in MySQL: table elimination/join removal (exists in MariaDB but not in MySQL), indexes bitmap scan (to combine indexes efficiently), partial indexes, transactional DDL, LISTEN/NOTIFY, materialized views, row-level security, table functions like generate_series.
This is a complex situation, because another party is involved: the parents. The ethics and morality of accepting a payment (even if it also satisfies a debt) to let the son continue to defraud his parents is certainly something that reasonable people can debate.
Note, despite the conclusion "neither vitamin D nor n-3 FA supplementation over 1 year decreased these biomarkers of inflammation", there is this bit in the actual article: "Among individuals who had <1.5 servings of fish per week at baseline, active n-3 FA was associated with a decline in hsCRP of 10.45% (95% CI, -20.44% to 0.79%)"

So for those of us who do not eat fish, compensating that with supplements might make sense still.

The article also mentions some other benefits of the supplements, beyond controlling inflammation:

> Participants with normal body mass index (BMI <25 mg/kg²) randomized to active vs placebo vitamin D showed a significant reduction in invasive cancers

> Cardiovascular disease events were significantly lower for active vs placebo n-3 FA among individuals who consumed <1.5 fish servings/week. Additionally, n-3 FA supplementation reduced risk of myocardial infarction
The short answer: nope. It's a bit like speech recognition and synthesis. The open source stuff never matches up to commercial grades services by AWS and Google.
In context, people mean "illegitimate robocalls." Nobody is proposing to outlaw legitimate robocalls (like when a pharmacy makes an automated call to notify you that a prescription is ready.)

It's mostly illegal to make human or automated marketing calls to numbers in the US that have signed up for the national Do Not Call registry. The problem is that huge numbers of illegal calls still reach numbers on the Do Not Call registry. Most of these illegal calls have no connection to any real business; they are instead trying to defraud people. I have often been called by "Microsoft Support" to alert me to Windows problems that need fixing. I don't have any Windows computers.

i suggest being open to the concept that other perfectly capable humans may, in fact, design systems with different underpinning assumptions than those you appear to presuppose always must apply to everyone and everything.

It's important to remove the DBA or Developer hat and realize that you are working together on a singular system (or maybe it's even the same person, etc.)

"corruption" implies that the desired results have not been achieved, that essential data has been lost or compromised, and this clearly is not the case with such a deliberate design decision. one should be prepared to accept this possibility in order to not be merely a fanatic and unreasonable.

Tyre didn't provide data, and neither did you. The 2016 election was complex, especially due to the foreign influence, campaign hacking, fraudulent spending, and free coverage from media. The fact that both the president's campaign manager and his personal lawyer (also RNC finance chair) are currently in prison points to there not being clear visibility into his campaign spending to this day.

This doesn't refute the fact that wealth correlates with influence in U.S. politics, in fact, you could even say that a billionaire winning an election supports it.

The worst part is, we can become as green as you can get in Germany, if our direct neighbor country France has one of their so-low-carbon nuclear plants blow up, we are just as inhabitable, for eternity.
I'm a very big fan of nuclear and I believe it should be subsidized at high cost as necessary. However, it is clear that even France has extreme inbound cost problems related to its nuclear industry -

"French power utility EDF estimates it would cost at least 46 billion euros ($51 billion) to build six of its latest generation EPR nuclear reactors if the government decides to build them"

"the Flamanville EPR reactor under construction in northern France has been plagued by cost overruns and a series of technical problems resulting in years of delays. EDF, in which the state has an 84% stake, said in October the project which began in 2006 would cost 1.5 billion euros more than previously expected, raising the total cost to 12.4 billion euros."

I hadn't heard of "Yes Man" and I had not done it consciously, but I've been doing this clown routine for years.

A girlfriend that's into theatre took a course for being a clown and explained to me that one of the traits of the clown, as defining as the red nose, is accepting any challenge, saying that she knows how to do it perfectly with the ensuing disastrous results.

I realized that I'd been doing that all my life. So you can call me a clown but, as you say, results are often wonderful. Actually I start dating her with a couple of such daring decisions.

The clown seems to be some kind of metaphor for children's behaviour. So, nice.

Are you British by any chance? The UK press really is different from the US, in that you guys have newspapers with a variety of slants, from left to right, which most everyone is aware of. But in the US, the common perception is that there is a “neutral” mainstream press (NYT, WaPo, etc.). However, these papers would never ever publish anything approaching admiration for a Republican campaign.

A brilliant rhetorical sleight of hand - the people aren't illegal - their act of immigration is. By this logic, we should refer to trespassers as "undocumented guests".

I've been using Debian for 20 years and have never seen this advice. I currently use custom scripts for building local packages of things.

I think this comes down to Debian's weak documentation. The recommended intro guide from the wiki page [1] doesn't say this and looking through the maintainers guide I do see this [2] in there but it is buried in pages and pages of other docs.

Really, someone needs to write a new basic intro that doesn't bury the lede. It should start with this then expand on what to do for various issues.

Or maybe start with one of those 99% automation options. If they are even easier. As is you cannot find this information without some person telling you as you cannot find it by searching for it or reading the docs.

Yup, and Debian recently started committing to 5-year support cycles, so it's basically the same as Ubuntu LTS releases (can skip one, but not two releases), with the difference that Debian is released when it's ready, whereas Ubuntu is released on a schedule.

Personally, I don't trust Ubuntu LTS releases until they get their first point release, and even then I'm skeptical since they're a bit more loose with package versions on stable. I do trust Debian when it first releases because they're far more rigorous in their testing, though I usually wait a week or two before doing a release upgrade just in case.

I used to really like Debian testing, but I've since moved to OpenSUSE because they have a real rolling release (for my desktop) and a solid release based version (for servers). I like Debian, but testing gets a bit sketchy around release time (frozen, and then a ton of updates), and I honestly don't trust Sid aside from pulling in the odd package. I don't trust Ubuntu at all, since it has caused me far too many problems in the past.
I think the comparison dwells on superficial similarities. Rust's type system is absolutely necessary to ensure a certain kind of safety under the requirements Rust adopted for itself in order to address certain domains (like no tracing GC), namely a guarantee of no undefined behavior, common in those domains. This safety (or something very close to it) exists in every so-called "managed" language anyway, be it Python, Java or Haskell, regardless of their type system, so the goal of the type system in Rust and in Haskell -- at least as far as safety goes -- is obviously very different.

Moreover, such safety is not at all what is normally considered "correctness" in the field of software correctness; the term normally refers to functional correctness, i.e. that the program satisfies the specification, not that it doesn't have undefined behavior. On that front, there seems to be no evidence, nor even hints, that either Haskell or Rust do better, or worse, than other languages developed in recent decades. It's a myth, albeit one that's often repeated in some circles.

That's not to say that type systems cannot be hugely valuable, and sometimes even necessary. For Rust, the type system is what ensures undefined-behavior-safety. In other languages it has many other advantages as well. Some type systems are even intended for correctness. But Rust's type system, and certainly Haskell's are not. Both are interesting though expressively "weak" type systems, of the kind that has not been found to be correlated with higher correctness. So focusing on that as the point of comparison completely misses the mark.
> and you can get approximately just as much correctness with pretty low-touch unit & integration tests

This isn't accurate. It both vastly overstates the domain & value of unit tests and vastly understates what's possible to assure using types [1].

I think people should not try to be kind. They should just be themselves.

Criticism is good and useful and should be delivered in the most direct way possible. People should just toughen up. It's unbelievable to think that 80 years ago, people were killing each other with guns and bombs but today's people get offended if someone doesn't press the 'like' button on their Facebook photos. We are too weak; that's the real problem.

Being weak is bad. Political correctness poses a threat to our freedom of speech.

I can't stand this dystopian corporate rhetoric that 'being nice' and 'feeling safe' are important. They are not. Both of these things make us weaker.
I’m sure this is just an honest mistake. Surely we can trust these respectable Jews to tell the truth and not play any sort of dirty tricks.
I always think it's good that people research things that are considered "obvious" because there is always that rare chance you will discover something unexpected!

Also worth noting here, if you ARE updating the primary key on the referenced table, then locks MUST be taken to ensure data consistency. If that PK isn't locked, than by the very problem definition you have open transactions relying on the original PK value.
