> 1NF is about eliminating nested relations.

Absolutely agree, this is the definition of 1NF.
So if you have a relation which has an attribute which has a domain which itself include relations - then you have a 1NF violation.

"From the perspective of the database" is perhaps too vague (although Codd uses almost the same phrasing), the question is if the value is atomic with regard to the relational operators (project, join etc.). Can you INSERT a tuple into a value? Then the value is a relation.

I get that at a certain abstraction level a comma separated string value could be considered a list or a relation. But then it would be at a different abstraction level than the one where the containing table is a relation. Because you can select rows and column from this outer relation using the relational operators, but you cant do the same for a relation encoded into a string value.

I've always called it adhesive ToS. I hate it and I think it should be illegal. You set up an account and all you need is an email address. Then, all of a sudden, they need your phone number "for security." Then your name and DoB "for the security of your account." Soon it'll be a credit card for age verification.

And the whole time you better give them accurate information because if they ever lock your account you'll be expected to send photo ID so they can verify it.

The next step is subscriptions. The entire point of forced logins is because that allows them to build future features as subscription only. Think about how online SaaS works and how everyone eventually switches to a subscription product by keeping, but abandoning the existing service and building all new features on a subscription model. With everyone forced to log in Windows is essentially a SaaS. They're just not charging for it. Yet!

Remember when you could get a free custom domain on Outlook.com or GMail? Anyone on those services was allowed to keep their stuff, but huge effort has been made to devalue and de-market those historical accounts. Microsoft shut down the entire admin side of things and Google excludes them from most new features.

Get out your wallet. Prices are going up.
You can just send to an arbitrary public key whose private key is unknown and unknowable. Eg nobody knows the private key corresponding to "00000000000000000000000" or whatever. The chances of someone stumbling across the correct private key is ~zero, even if that address is otherwise valid.

Modularity doesn't cause that. Modularity doesn't inherently reduce duplication either. But modular code offers opportunities for reuse (or clearer opportunities for reuse) that non-modular code does not (or where the reuse potential is so obfuscated that it may as well be non-existent).
Not likely, also lets not forget - as a Type 1 diabetic, you also take long acting insuling (unless you are on a pump). So, for example, a pump uses only fast acting insulin - and it gives a small amount (known as "basil") every 5 minutes (+/- depending on pump).

Whereas, if you use pens (or from a vial) with direct injection, you also take a long acting insulin (levemir, Lantus, etc) once or twice a day (they are supposed to last 24ish hours but often people find splitting their total daily dose up into morning and night has better results). And these insulins cost even more than the fast-acting stuff.

I see it as immoral now, and immoral in twenty years. It is just socially accepted. Most of the meat-eating people I know don't even try and justify from a moral standpoint. They usually say "I know it's wrong, I just like meat". So in twenty years they will say "I knew it was wrong, it was just how life was back then".
The model is wrong from the inside out.

The tools you mention are a shadow of Microsoft Word which is a shadow of a paper document.

Living documents are best modeled as a network of small text that have structured relationships and attributes and that support multiple task-based views.

For instance you might go to a meeting, jot a bunch of ideas down, break it up into a bunch of "post-it notes", turn some set of those into a set of tasks and requirements.

Add relationships and attributes similar to what is in JIRA and you've got a project plan.

Why hasn't it happened yet?

People who tried to fly before the Wright Brothers did not understand that flight involved control in 6 degrees of freedom and that the problem was not lift or thrust (don't need thrust at all to make a glider!) but not tumbling.

Most of them understood some of the requirements but did not address all of them. They could get off the ground in some cases but not stay off the ground!

For instance seeing the relationship of texts in a graph is part of the solution, but if the graph looks like this

https://eagereyes.org/techniques/graphs-hairball

it is part of the problem. The answer isn't (just) a magic layout algorithm but is in letting the user customize task-specific views of the document complex.

True, I hadn't considered that. The "should you eat horses?" question.

So if there is vat-grown pork but they never manage to get the beef quite right, will it be acceptable to eat cows but not pigs? I guess that's the slope.

So yes, this has to be a slippery slope ;)

> Well, since you ask, I downvoted you for restating the false equivalence between OOP and inheritance, for the abjectly incorrect statement that no-one agrees what OOP is, for the frankly absurd and wilfully ignorant claim that no-one articulates practical examples for the circumstances when inheritance rather than composition might actually be worth considering, and for bitching about downvotes, particularly the explicit assumption that they’re coming from people wedded to inheritance, and not from people who dislike disingenuous arguments of any form.

Let's say corporations were only promised a 10 year monopoly instead of 20. Do you think their business would collapse, or would they keep trying? If profit-focused inventors could still be motivated by a 10 year horizon, then that extra 10 years only benefits corporate executives and kills patients. So, is the patent system as limited as possible while still encouraging innovation? Obviously not, because pharma companies routinely direct billions of dollars in profit into stock buybacks instead of research or any other actual investment. They can easily afford to make less profit.
This is quite naive. The fact is people have always been vulnerable to misinformation and someone will always exploit that, and that exploitation will hurt people.

I'd put coffeescript as the "Groovy" of JavaScript.

Kotlin is more like a mixture of Typescript and/or Reason (or whatever the name is now)

Groovy was that flash-in-the pan idea that had some really cool ideas.

But then again, I'm not sure if it really inspired any real language changes to Java like Kotlin has. CoffeeScript did a TON of inspiration for ES6... so heck, maybe Kotlin IS the CoffeeScript

I hope Kotlin survives though.
An announcement about the comment section
Bricia Lopez, in "Oaxaca: Home Cooking from the Heart of Mexico" recommends an Indian wet grinder for grinding nixtamal into masa. One grinds for 40 minutes, scraping down as needed, after adding 1/3 water by weight. This yields a too-wet masa that one corrects with masa harina; the masa still comes out much better than straight masa harina, even Masienda's. A wet grinder is easy to clean.

One can find much more information about this in a thread I started on my favorite food forum:

https://komodokamadoforum.com/topic/10767-nixtamal-masa-taco...

Masienda corn deserves the highest praise. I've tried other chef favorites such as Anson Mills. Their corn is remarkable for other uses, but doesn't come close for masa.

This weekend I bought prepared masa as a reference, from Primavera, a Mexican restaurant stand at the Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market in San Francisco. Most commercial masa found in California is generic and inferior to what one makes from Oaxacan corn from Masienda. Primavera makes their own nixtamal from their own corn sources, with exactly my aspirations, and there's an argument they serve the best Mexican food in the Bay Area.

Their masa was smoother than I get from the Indian wet grinder, but this had no impact on making tortillas. (Most general purpose home tools such as meat grinders or food processors yield masa that is too course for tortillas.)

Their masa was not as flavorful. It serves their purposes well, as they use it for everything, and it needs to be a neutral foil to many kinds of food. Masienda corn almost requires pairing like wine; every corn is different.

Would you pay someone to take your $0 crypto coins away from you? That doesn't seem sustainable.
These sorts of things increase the cost (you had to pay humans to do captchas and to setup the system), which can help.

It really depends on what the benefits of bypassing the detection are and if those benefits can be had elsewhere at lower cost. For ticket sales or limited run product sales or similar things, the benefits of buying (and presumbably reselling) the limited item is high, and there's a limit to what you can do to detect humans (and as you've described it can be counter productive). For spam prevention, making it cost more to spam means spammers are encouraged to find somewhere else to spam, which is good for your users (while using your product anyway). But it won't stop everything, some people are going to manually type their spams, and some people will build robots to tap out their spams more like a person; and if you ruin the experience for users (especially new users) that doesn't work either; a network with zero messages is spam free, but doesn't help anyone.
The Web Packaging specifications[1] are surprisingly close to turning URLs into a content-addressed system. Content-addressed networking is all about names for content, after all, which philosophically is a close match for what a URL is, it just so happens that HTTP uses urls to resolve servers that serve the content. But with Web Package, content is signed by the origin, and can be distributed via other means.

One of the primary uses cases for Web Package is to let two users exchange content while offline, perhaps via a usb stick or what not. This isn't part of the specification, but we could begin to imagine sites that have a list of the web packages they have available for download. And we could imagine aggregating those content indexes, and preferring to download from these mirrors over downloads from the origin's servers.

I'm hoping eventually we get a fairly content-addressed network, via urls.

> that the world does not run algorithmically

Sure it does: moving gold and commodities between countries in non-mutually-friendly regimes, very much resembles crypto.

Fiat finance is a system of contract law built on top of a de-facto "state of nature" of irreversible no-arbitrator commodity transfers. It exists in places where people can agree on who the arbitrating party should be. It does not exist outside of those places. It especially does not exist between powers that are actively at war.

Cryptocurrency platforms are, at a base layer, a digital equivalent to the commodities-transfer "state of nature." Many crypto platforms also have the mechanisms within them to build fiat finance systems atop them. (The keyword to search here is "security tokens".)

I personally think that's for the best. Build something that can simulate all the kinds of finance the real world operates on, rather than only some.

Most people, most of the time, if they touch crypto at all, should be doing so using one of the fiat "layers" on top of crypto, rather than the commodities-transfer base layer. Just like people should be buying things using credit cards, rather than by sending gold bullion in the mail.

But if the fiat layer were the only layer, then you'd have a system that only worked where contract law works, which would be no better than the existing fiat ecosystem, in the sense that it wouldn't enable many of the use-cases that cryptocurrency enables. Chief among those use-cases being securely transferring commodities to people in countries that your own fiat regime's financial infrastructure refuses to deal with, for them to then convert to local fiat money. (See e.g. the saga of this YouTuber https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAPrhJwVweWZA8GEPoClSdw trying to pay his employees/contractors in Nigeria, Liberia, etc. for their work.)
I don't think correcthorsebatterystaple is easier to crack than the Troubador variation. Hash cracking often includes the use of a wordlist and a ruleset which builds variations on the words from a wordlist. Some common ones I use for my job are
OneRule and Hob0Rules. Notably I did run the word "troubador" through these and did not get the final result of "Tr0ub4dor&3" but they did both produce "Tr0ub4dor". These rulesets both produce > 50k passwords from a single word to guess so it's not outside the realm of possibility to have more/better rulesets that are used.

On the other hand, while it's definitely feasible to take a wordlist and make random permutations of sticking words together, I think in general that sort of password is used less often.

100% Agree password managers are the way to go, but for people that aren't using them I would definitely suggest long/multiple random words together over short LEETspeek with special char number tacked onto the end style password.

They return PDB format files for molecules:

https://www.thischemicaldoesnotexist.com/molecule.pdb

There appear to be several repositories of this format. Maybe they just randomly generate until they find one with a hash that doesn't exist? (Though it's not clear to me how much order of the lines in the format matters).
I agree with all of that. And there's a big difference between e.g. "dismissing lab leak out of hand is wrong because there's a lot of circumstantial evidence of government suppression and coverup", which many people currently say based on available evidence, and "this is definitely a Chinese bioweapons program" which many people also currently say without any factual evidence whatsoever. I worry a lot about people and organizations who lump them together, but I'm fine with silencing the latter.
