If you want to change the data stored in production database tables, following the below rules will be helpful.

1. Please don’t issue I/U/D SQL statements directly. You’d better write up some programs acting as the “revert transactions” to do the data modification. In this way, you don’t need to grant the I/U/D privileges of the production tables to any user IDs. Instead, you give access to those programs. It will help you to remove the human error as much as possible. And the behavior of the programs is more predictable and consistent.

2. You should have a fixed change window for these kinds of data changes. You should not execute those “revert transactions” whenever you want.

3. Then you give the execution access of those programs to the people who need to do the work only during the change window. That is you grant the execute access to the user ID beforehand and revoke the access afterward. Since this is grant/revoke between user ID and programs, it’s much safer. If you have to grant/revoke between user ID and tables, there might be cascade effects.

4. Before the change, capture the “before” data and get ready the fallback script.

5. Don’t forget to turn on the audio options/tools during the change window.

6. If you guys work in a physical office, you can think about binding those revert transactions to a dedicated desktop.

I know these rules are complicated and tedious, but they could protect the team and the data as well :)
Could it? How?

I'm honestly curious because I don't see how Bitcoin could be useful.
I find https://www.realpython.com quite good. I even skim their tutorials on topics I know well, as they often cover some extra features or libraries I'm not aware of.
if you want to learn the power of lisp and learn a very powerful language check out Common Lisp. if you are a solid programmer, learn the syntax on youtube or by completing Common Lisp Koans (should take you a day or two). then pick up Norvig's Paradigms of AI Programming, which is a classic in and of itself. if you don't know emacs, choose Portacle to get you started
If I understand you correctly – are you basically proposing a feature which could be implemented like Quora's "merge questions" function?

I use that a lot. It's poorly implemented on Quora, but nonetheless, a lot of the time, when someone asks a technical question, it is easier and quicker to find a differently-phrased question and merge the new question with the existing one, than it is to write a comprehensive answer. This way, the person asking immediately sees multiple existing answers... and if people are discussing answers or subtleties of them, then the new asker immediately sees that discussion.
For some people building "complex" things is how they attach sense of accomplishment to programming. If it is not complex, it is just boring or just a toy, hence not worthy of their attention.

Golang is waaay simpler than other languages, as some were designed to be arcane from the start and other became that way over time. So Go's stewards have been doing a good job of enforcing their philosophy so that it doesn't become a bloated monster.

This is the reaction the tech industry has bred with the only options ever being "Yes, now" or "Later". People are used to the industry not taking no for an answer, and so this pattern matches to every other time the industry has "backed off for now" (see also: MS pushing edge as default browser, Apple boiling the frog with gatekeeper, Whatsapp/Facebook data sharing, Google+ account migrations for YouTube accounts)
Yeah I think TED talks are usually way too shallow. Videos in general really.. And they're generally pretty slow to make sure even the slowest person in the audience can keep up so it's pretty frustrating. I prefer written content over video most of the time.

The only kind of presentations I like are the ones at hacker conferences. They tend to be for a highly technical audience and very non-commercial. Just about the tech, not trying to sell anything.

You can find recordings on https://media.ccc.de for example. They have a lot of German content but most of the event presentations are in English.

That definition does not say “avoids any change”. It says it opposes change, which can reasonably be taken as a general leaning. I mean, just think about it, do you think you could find even one single small-c conservative who argues that every possible change is bad?

Preventing the Great Burnout
The web is an arms race.

The bloat and slowness is generally due to incompetence. On one hand it’s merchandising stalking users with poorly written spyware and on the other hand the technology is dictated by the lowest common denominator of developers who cannot perform without monumental hand holding.

Does the end user really want or prefer the megs of framework abstraction? No, that’s immature trash from developers insecure about their jobs. This is the standard of practice and it isn’t going away. In hiring it’s seen as a preference as increased tool proliferation can qualify higher wages.

The only way that’s going to get better is by moving to an alternate platform with more challenging technical concerns than populating content.

With IPv6 and gigabit internet to the house becoming more common in the US there is less and less reason to require web servers, data centers, and other third party concerns. These are incredibly expensive and so long as the platform becomes progressively more hostile to their users emerging alternatives with superior on-demand capabilities will become more appealing.

Yes.

They have every right to. It's their servers.

However, this is MY phone (ok, not mine, I don't use Apple devices but you get my point)
>After 30 hits, the photos are manually reviewed by a human being. How did people never understand this? How on _Earth_ would people's live be randomly destroyed by this?

Many people here simply assume all governments and corporations are simultaneously that evil and that incompetent. The aggressive cynicism of this forum and its reticence to engage with content before commenting undermines its pretense at informed technical acumen and civil discussion in many ways.

Then the myriad other tech companies that scan the images uploaded to their platforms will be alerted of supposed illicit images being uploaded. This isn't new. No one's lives have been ruined by this and it's been practice for years now.
I used dial-up until around 2010. Yes, pages were loading pretty much forever, but once it's been loaded, it was fast (and I always use mid-level hardware at best). I was used to opening up to 100 pages on my shitty Celeron with 128 MBs of RAM with Opera 9 (I think). Because dial-up is paid by the minute and you really have to open as many pages as possible and read them all later. It worked just fine. Then the fat client/SPA devolution happened; you know the rest.

> If you children are getting killed, beaten, and imprisoned by the legal system, and have no access to good education, you might want to move a little quicker.

"People are suffering now" is not a good blanket argument for rapid change. First, it needs to be shown that the changes proposed will not be worse than the original condition.

To use your example, last summer many people were arguing for quickly defunding the police. While that would certainly solve the problem of children suffering under the legal system, it might also result in vigilante groups stepping up to enforce the law, or in increased urban gang activity, or in increased domestic violence, any of which might end up with increased overall victimization of children.

My personal opinion is that individual jurisdictions should experiment more at a small scale. Maybe SF abolishes the police, and Minneapolis increases funding for social work, and the Chicago police install robocops at every corner, and Nashville provides benefits only to families which stay intact. Then after two years it will be obvious which policies _really_ don't work, and after five years there will be a good handle on the set of policies that might work, and after fourty years most of the magnitudes of the possible second- and third-order effects will be understood, at least as well as it is possible to know them.

But it is impossible to have local experiments when the popular call is for immediate action on the national level. Alas, one is left with digging through the archves of history and trying to see where natural experiments have been done, and what confounding variables there were.
As Carlin so eloquently put it, "The planet is fine. The people are fucked".

Any way, it won't happen in a day, and as with any pandemic humans are great at finding solutions, (see covid). Sure some people will die along the way as they don't get with the program, but that's expected.

Unless our energy sources become useless (ie. sun blackout AND depleted oil AND no wind) we will have a way to keep warm, produce oxygen and grow food.

The worst case would be we'd have to move into underground bunkers.

Managing Messes in Computational Notebooks
I agree that there is a need for such changes to be public and debated - my grind comes from those which makes arguments which are neither factual, nor pay attention to the status quo. (Thus leaping to fantasy assumptions which are without basis.)

For example Google and Meta both scan all material that is on their services, both of these providers actually go further by utilising AI to hunt imagery which may not be identified yet. So the idea of this compelling others to scan is false: Apple is last here.

Similar to Google and Meta, Apple's CSAM processes only come into play when the material is uploaded to Apple's servers. The minutiae of where the scanning occurs is irrelevant because Apple's implementation is merely a way of performing the function without giving up the user's privacy (by scanning locally rather than sending all of your photos to Apple's servers for review.)

The scanning process is merely the addition of verified hashes to a system which already uses this same technique to categorise ones photos into searchable images ("waterfalls" "dogs" "bicycles" etc.), because this is an existing system there is no impact to performance/device usage.

> I do think bitcoin is a bit more like Gold, although Gold has real uses so that is still a bit of a rough comparison.

I agree with everything except that last part is understated. Bitcoin is like gold with the only difference that gold has functional uses, whereas Bitcoin is entirely replaceable and can be forked and duplicated.
Interesting. The site implicitly references the arrest of the Silk Road founder, using the alternative acronym "Department of Parks and Recreation". He was arrested by having his laptop literally yanked from under his fingertips in a public library.
I strongly believe that this feature could have broken Apple’s brand irreparably. %99.9 of us are not pedophiles but personal devices that snitch you to the police(with extra steps) is something that most people will not accept.

The proposed database for snitching was CSAM but once the system there, the devices become the pocket police that can receive any kind of scan-match-snitch instructions. This would be the point where humanity embraces total control.

That said, an offline version might be workable. Think 2E2 encrypted devices that can be scanned against a database with physical access to the device upon approval from the device owner. Imagine a person being investigated through standard police work, it can be used to prove the existence or the lack of the existence of the materials without exposing unrelated and private information if the person accepts to cooperate.
TL;DR: Bitcoin fundamental value is scarcity, hence we think it can theoretically be worthless in the long run.
What's surely worthless is reading that article.

For depressed people I wonder. How much is it the brain's "fault" or is it genuinely something (a lot of) thing(s) wrong in the person's life?

It's easy for example to overlook trauma, and just blame ourselves "why can't we just be happy" or our brain's chemistry, while ignoring all the terrible things that happened to us, because it's too painful to relieve them.

Aren't treatments like this like reducing a person's fever by force (which they got because of a bacteria infection) while not fixing the underlying issue that caused it in the first place?

TL;DR:
Instead of asking "What's wrong with you?" and making that part right by force, shouldn't we be asking "What happened to you?" and helping with that?

Please handle logging levels, control of logging levels by package, log file rotation and logging to stdout instead or in addition to a file. Also, log statements should contain the calling class and method.
Please also make sure that your logging implementation can be used by any libraries that you reference, I'd like to have their logs in the same format as the application logs and be able to control their level as well.

Do you still want to build something from scratch and maintain it yourself? Or would you rather not waste weeks of your time reinventing something that already exists and that other developers are already familiar with?

> Apple have done their homework and they will not release ANYTHING unless they think they'll either make money from it or at the very least, not LOSE money from it. It's all about money, nothing else.

> It's coming whether we like it or not now :(

Um, I think the public outcry showed them pretty clearly that they will lose customers and money precisely if they go ahead with this. I think the people championing this inside Apple (some rumors say Cook himself) were expecting this to be some kind of feel-good, "we're thinking of the children" PR piece - not the shitstorm it turned out to be.
Bitcoin does not support monetary policy though. If you read the Wikipedia article on the Gold standard, historians and economists seem to agree that the inflexibility to increase currency supply to stimulate the economy made the great depression much worse than it could have been without it.
Paramedics gave me Ketamine on the street after an accident last year. And then for 6 months after, it was like a veil had been lifted from my mind. I noticed I would laugh much more easily, I felt happiness every few days when random pleasant things happened like seeing the sun or having good coffee, I was in severe physical pain from the results of the accident and yet it was the least miserable time I've had in the past decade.

I only connected the dots a few months back when looking into what Ketamine does. It's a miracle drug, I'm hoping my doctor will prescribe it to me but it looks like in my country you need to have been prescribed other anti-depressants and for them to have failed.

> two intersection of two independent CSAM databases.

I don't think that offers meaningful protection. A malicious government could acquire or produce real CSAM, or at least a convincing fake of it, then modify that image subtly to match the hash of the political content they were targeting (I believe such engineered collisions have already been demonstrated.) They would then be able to get that manipulated CSAM into as many independent CSAM databases as they wanted, simply by uploading it to the web then reporting it to all those independent databases.
This is normalcy bias. Since it’s worked out well so far, it’ll work out well in future. But there is a point of no return - if the concentration of atmospheric carbon exceeds a certain level, it will melt the ice caps, which will increase the temperature further, which will cause dissolved CO2 in the oceans to enter the atmosphere, which will … you get the idea. There’s a potential feedback loop at the end of which the planet becomes like Venus.

Not saying there won’t be life left on the planet even if it looks like Venus. Life is adaptable. But it wouldn’t flourish like it does today.
Known as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chartalism, by the way. :)

While these risks clearly _do_ apply to traditional currencies, I do think, as an investor, it's worth considering market cap (as a proxy for "social belief in") and history of stability.

Bitcoin's market cap is probably (factoring in permanently lost coins) something like $750B, which makes it a bit smaller than, say, the Swiss franc, and its history of stability is much, much shorter.
You assume linear relationships between temperature and "bad things happening", but the climate system is not linear at all.
