It's nice to know what the ANSI standard is, but what's a practical example?

The only time I use a limit-clause is to paginate. On the other hand, if I wanted to make sure to get all rows whose column value was between 1 and 3, even if it would be more than 3 rows, then I would use a where-clause:

select * from table where id <= 3 order by id

not:

select * from table order by id fetch first 3 rows with ties
This is a common mistake people make when thinking about marketing data analysis. It's similar to bits of entropy in browser tracking - the resolution of your screen and the fonts you have installed don't identify you by themselves, but when they're correlated their effectiveness scales much better than human intuition estimates.

So you read conservative blogs and listen to Fox News. If Facebook is predicting, for instance, your voting habits, their algorithm won't look only at that. It'll look at where you live, what your job is, the political stances of the people you most associate with, which groups you're a part of and how their members typically lean, what stores you shop at, what search terms you use, and far more metrics than I can list here. Can you honestly say that all of those will point to incorrect conclusions? If you somehow live a live entirely contrary to your internal beliefs you're in a minority so small as to be irrelevant.
Thanks for these references! The Chow paper is the first one I've read that makes me feel like I understand forcing and Cohen's proof.
Big business are the engines that drive the economy. For that you need billionaires.

A nation of small businesses sounds attractive to many people, and it's been tried more than once, but it just doesn't work. You're never going to have chip fabs, automaking, steel smelting, oil refining, ship building, turbine making, etc., without big business.

The Soviet Union has been described as a third world economy with a first world military. The US is a first world economy and a first world military. Thanks to the free market.

It also comes up with vector addition, subtraction, and multiplication, all of which are used all over in gameplay code.

I like Zig overall, but lack of operator-overloading just seems like a pain to me.

Zig in many ways puts faith in the coder to not screw things up, but in this case it diverges from that philosophy. Would it be too much to trust the user not to overload operators in an unacceptable way? Social convention over technical constraint.

That said I'd be more persuaded by the argument that it's not worth the extra code and complexity for a language as concise as Zig.
How about: every time you snipe someone from an implausible distance, you have to identify some crosswalks and traffic lights before the score is counted.
Generally Debian breaks come from a mission critical software that isn't really available and requires package updates beyond what your version does or from trying to force an update. Also twice dpkg just shat the bed for no reason, but that was 7 and 8 years ago.

I suspect that in the early days of internet advertising casino/poker/porn was much more common because they were the ones willing to take a risk on advertising in the new media. Over time other more mainstream industries joined in.

I don't agree about the good intentions. The tracking is a means to an end. People are tracked to measure engagement and to target ads, both of which have the purpose of increasing the value of the advertising to the benefit of the ad networks. They don't care if you get relevant ads. They care that they can charge more for your eyeballs because they can classify you as "male, 19-29, in USA, interested in technology, art, exercise" and sell you as part of a package to companies wanting to target that market.
Australian organisations quietly pay hackers millions in 'tsunami of cybercrime'
That's going to be nearly impossible to enforce, because the first thing that will probably happen is that companies will stop reporting ransomware attacks. And these "consultants" could be based anywhere, as well as further outsource their work to independent contractors, shell companies, etc. So getting hard evidence that's there's been a ransom payment will likely be a wild goose chase.
It also allows developers to target and optimize performance for this specific device (or family of devices). Won't be surprised to see games having a Steam Deck "mode" in the future.

I'm thinking this looks fantastic. I can dock it at home and in the office, its powerful enough to do a lot of dev work locally, and I can just VNC to my home/office server when I need more beef like I do with my laptop. So - first pass, the same as a laptop.

Second pass, anti-glare ok-nits screen means I can use it outside. Format means I can use it on the fortnightly train. Whilst I don't want to code with it without being docked I can review, plan, read, have meetings, and make minor edits + run tests while sitting in the garden.

Having meetings outside will probably be the best use of time and justify the spend.
What kind of backend APIs do you enjoy working with most? GraphQL?
Man, I think you have a wrong impression here, field fixes are usually sacrificial, and are made in haste, and often on "this might work." A great tradition it isn't, coat it in 100 MPH tape and 550 cord, and hope it holds. is generally the the solution to most issues.

Not to say there haven't been great innovation, but realistically most of these repairs are being made by guys that barely got out of high school, and had maybe 20 weeks of training. (I was one of them, its not a dig, its reality)

And as much as it pissed me off when a piece of equipment was no longer available, because it got shipped off, I was also equally pissed off when my unit all got sick and was throwing up because our water purification system broke, and a commander told the cooks to add bleach to the water. That is something a soldier has to do, where as a contractor wouldn't be likely to.

In the military you spend a lot of your time pissed off because someone, somewhere is doing something stupid, and it will probably get you killed.
While that's true, being able to see any enemy that you could theoretically hear at all is huge.
49 looks prime to me. Another commentator says it doesn't count because it's a square number, but square numbers don't really have a particular "look" to me in the same way that 2-digit numbers ending in 5 or with digits summing to a multiple of 3 do.

> Can you also acknowledge that such consequences might perhaps clear a higher bar than that of a choice whose impact is fundamentally limited in scope?

"Fundamentally limited"? Given that a fetus is genetically human, and genetically different from the woman who carries it, it's clearly both human and not part of her body. There are plenty of completely reasonable people who see those two facts as putting abortion as being perilously close to murder, at best.

First, given that it's genetically a different individual, "my body, my choice" seems willfully blind to the rest of what's involved in abortion. Second, though, if you do regard abortion as murder, the death count per year is of the same order of magnitude as from Covid. So "fundamentally limited in scope" is assuming the answer to something that is, at best, very much still in debate.
I’ve been trying to decide whether to move a Django-DRF API to one of these.
Exactly this.

If your goal is to get rich and play golf and relax, that is one thing. The fact that Elon is one of the wealthiest people in the world and also as passionate as someone working in their garage seems kind of like a crazy situation.

I wonder if there is similar historical precedence in terms of an ultra wealthy person being interested and involved like he is.

As far as I know, this hasn't been confirmed by anyone other than the dev themself yet. The personal information is also not in the archive, so someone (4chan staff or archive staff) did their job. We'll have to wait and see for the truth of that case, if it ever comes to light.

Distributel is a primarily wholesale based ISP. DSL from Bell is basically useless at this point as the last major construction work of twisted pair copper phone lines took place in the 1980s. 30-40 year old copper wires are not a reliable foundation on top of which to build internet access, as the cables have aged poorly and suffer from water infiltration and ground faults.

This is an exaggeration/cherry-picked. Many people were in fact using the assertion primarily to express xenophobia, and had no compelling thoughts beyond that. Those people were not the same as the people "considering the possibility", which describes a more reasonable subset of people.

Maybe a culture clash? Academia is all about status and prestige - more often scientific outcomes seem to be a means to get the former (why journals don't publish negative results, why studies fail to replicate, why stuff isn't open access, why people worry about getting scooped, etc.)

I agree almost completely. We certainly can't continue to be this voracious and expect happy times ahead.

My only disagreement is in the concept of "the system". I mean, institutions are critically important, yes. But most of the system is just individual people doing their somewhat predictable thing.

The major innovation of economics has been microfoundations -- our predictions come from what individuals are motivated to do by their circumstances and their personal values. The models economists use tend to attribute painfully simple values to people -- more often than not, simple personal greed and nothing else. The horror is that those models are accurate.

Japan's a good example. What's so bad about the population loss in Japan? It's that the society is used to having more on a per-person basis than it can now expect to have. What's a government to do? Reduce pension amounts? Increase ages of retirement? Replace the shrinking hospital staff, not to mention the once-abundant family that used to visit their elders, with robots? Whatever they choose, the people will be really unhappy.

Too true. Steam Machines solved a problem for Valve (existential fear of a Windows store built into Windows), but didn't really solve any problem for the bulk of their customers (existing windows users).

IMHO better than operator overloading (which opens the gates to hell) would be builtin vector and matrix types like in shading languages. Currently Zig has a vector type builtin (search for @Vector and/or std.meta.Vector), which supports the "simple" operations (addition, subtraction etc...), so it's halfway there, but no swizzle, and no matrix types.
I think having standards around what sources are acceptable is sort of a required feature if you want to be a reliable source of facts. There will always be people upset that their particular worldview doesn't fit in a place that is trying to be a factual description of reality. If you're upset about eastern medicine not being taken seriously enough do some double blind properly constructed studies showing why it's effective. If it isn't effective don't expect it to be taken seriously as medicine.
I make a point never to commit broken code anyway. If a series of changes have to be together to not break, I put them all in one commit. And for organization’s sake, commits could still be tagged by ticket

That doesn't mean an entire feature has to go in one commit (usually). Often a feature is made up of a series of non-breaking changes that can be layered one at a time, if appropriate.
We do not agree because this is a matter of assigning causal relevance to a company failure and my position is that the causal relevance you're assigning is irresponsible and results in bad decision making and hence is wrong/invalid. If you are in charge of a business, it is invalid to assign causal relevance to a business failure over a single individual who does not work overtime.

A similar situation would be assigning causal relevance to an intern deleting the production database on a company failure. Based on how you're viewing the situation, it seems like you think that would be a plausible explanation to hold; certainly interns have deleted production databases by accident before and so certainly it would seem like such an action would cause a company to fail.

My argument is that the intern deleting the database is not the cause of the company failure and has no relevance in understanding the cause of a company failure. It is simply not possible to attribute a corporate failure to an intern deleting a database. The causal reason for the failure would be a failure to protect the production database from an intern.

Similarly it is simply not possible to see a company as failing because someone decided not to work overtime. That is never a criteria that a company failure can be attributed to.

I am confident based on my experience running a successful company that my assignment of causal relevance has stronger explanatory power and results in better judgement than the causal relevance you're assigning.

I would encourage other people looking to run a business to adopt my assignment over the one you're arguing in favor of. The company did not fail because someone didn't work overtime just like the company did not fail because of the intern. The company failed because someone in a position of authority failed to properly allocate resources, failed to have good policies in place to protect production databases, failed to have security policies in place, failed to properly incentivize work, overpromised beyond what could be delivered, or a host of other reasons that have nothing to do with blaming a small group of individuals. This assignment of causal relevance will yield greater insight into how to properly prepare for a vast array of scenarios and also appreciate the risks involved in running a business and strategies to mitigate those risks.
I'm (maybe) composing my own set of suggestions to Neil. A substantial bit of that is TL;DR: credible assertions of characteristics (or rights or responsibilities) might offer some solution-shaped objects.

But in many cases, there's no reasonable way to accomodate identity / credential / characteristic assertion into data flows (e.g., commandline tools, proxies).
Also half again as cheap.

More likely the "consultants" will handle the decryption process, and the company's own engineers, who are probably already shell-shocked and under huge pressure, will be told to just be thankful that the experts have secret, proprietary technology to deal with the ransomware. Even if the engineers want to be whistleblowers (at the risk of sacrificing their own jobs/careers), it'll be pretty hard to get enough conclusive evidence that a ransom was paid.

"It appeared that last couple of weeks were spent for designing domain model and database scheme (wat?). And they were not there yet! I started to be involved in all this designing and I found that every team member suggested their vision of the model. And here comes the discussion.. That discussion was overwhelmed with buzz-words like “Best Practices”, “OOD”, “Performance” and in the end they chose the most complex scheme suggested."

So I'm waiting for the part where somebody demonstrates "good programming skills"...?

"I recall working for a small company where I was asked to write a tiny project to mix some videos, list them and show them to the users who can vote. The project had a budget for 2 months and I could’ve make it! But I was too blind because of good practices and maintainability. I introduced complex technologies, caching; of course I split the project into different layers and added a lot of extra interfaces for flexibility. Should I say I missed deadline? Surely I did."

Still not seeing it.

That's where the attention belongs, Zuckerberg has controlling interest[1]:

> According to an estimate from CNBC last year, that means Zuckerberg and insiders control about 70 percent of Facebook’s voting shares, with Zuckerberg controlling about 60 percent. So whatever shareholders are voting on, Zuckerberg and those closest to him get to have the final say.

So the rest of the "leadership" are effectively Zuckerberg's proxies. Absolutely nothing Facebook does is beyond his control.
