> 2. The OP classified DDoS as terrorism.

This is begging the question.

DDoS is not terrorism. Terrorism is "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims."

Inconveniencing a people, by taking down a website is not violence or intimidation.

Without that tenant, everything you've argued on this thread is a moot point.

Keep in mind who you're defending here. The site in question doxxes trans people so they can be harassed and sent death threats. That IS terrorism.
how do prices compare?
I debate that a prize (decided by an art “judge”) represents anything of matter for the value of an art piece.

Gatekeepers, curators and prizes are marketing tools, not necessarily relevant to the value of art. They are necessary for promoting art creation, that’s where their value is. They are not relevant, IMO, for attributing value to art.
It actually doesn't matter at all. They just proved that there ARE situations that a DDoS can endanger people's lives (including more we aren't even thinking about), whether or not KF is even related in this case.

Many will argue that settler-colonialist state based on religion does not have automatic right to exist similar to how white Rhodesia or apartheid South Africa (which used to be big friend of Israel) did not have right to exist and do not exist anymore.

What is also true is that jewish, muslim, christian and atheist/other religions living in current territory of Israel and Palestine have right to peacefully live in future state that treat all people equally. With Israeli settlements we are way pass the point of two state solution.
Idk how if studying philosophy helps. Most philosophers were/are themselves committed to one school or theory, with gaps galore.

In any case, I think empirical science's defeat of rationalism ( eg Galileo Vs Church) has all sorry of ramifications. Social sciences like economics and psychology have a lot of trouble bridging the gaps.

A related article [1] says that (a) ARM granted licenses to Nuvia with terms that disallowed any transfer to Qualcomm, but (b) the licenses were transferred to a newly formed entity and not to Qualcomm.

Wouldn't the outcome of the case depend on the judge's interpretation of the contracts then? I can't imagine Qualcomm with their attack-dog lawyers missing something like this.

Was in Germany, can confirm many locals were opting for trains. Not to say many small towns were getting long needed boosts in tourism after Covid downturn.

I don’t know how small compared to overall German government balance sheet to withstand to support a program like that indefinitely but it was definitely a pleasant surprise for me coming from North America where train services are generally pretty bad. It was difficult to get seats in regional trains over the weekends though but overall trains were clean and right on time.

As much as I think this is a great model for Germany, it is not optimal to apply for places like US and Canada. I remember we took a regional train from Nurnburg to Leipzig and it took us close to 6hrs. For less than 200km distance. Now imagine US where that distance can quadruple depending on the state you are driving to.
I'm currently looking for a job and I can't tell you the amount of times the job description or the experience required doesn't match what the team is actually looking for.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if a lot of these associations come from childhood, yeah.

I explicitly remember looking at the colored letters of the alphabet in my first grade classroom that kind of wrapped around the top of the room and thinking some of them were wrong. There was another set of colored letters in kindergarten near the chalk board that I can’t remember explicitly, but I think it was “right”, or at least more right.

I feel most confident programmers have probably only worked in well architected and well resourced projects, or more likely small projects with clear requirements and easy implementations. The big systems with under resourced teams and loads of tech debt are needed to make any dev doubt themselves.

On the subject of who is "best", everyone has a different criteria. Someone who knocks out lots of websites has different skills to someone who's tuning old systems, vs CS researcher, vs startup founder who makes $$$. Which one is best?

A vanishingly small number of "others", no matter the country or culture, can buy a house at 21 years of age. And even less, if you're talking of actually outright buying, and not getting a decades long mortgage.
The problem with this is that philosophy isn't a magical panacea that illuminates the way towards a more ideal state. It can be used to justify a sea of mutually exclusive claims that may not be in accordance with reality, and that's to say nothing about the quality of the arguments themselves.
If you go to any contemporary art institute it's full of still images which are just solid colors or like underwear stapled onto a canvas. Even if you like that, most digital art is just anime girls with large breasts.

The digital music you're complaining is just one portion of what is being made and it has mass appeal; you can also complain that sitcoms are so much worse Citizen Kane or McDonald's is so much worse than fine dining used to be. There's still nuanced music and film and food being made, and the complaint that popular stuff is "crude" is basically just a normal refrain in all areas of art, and I don't think digitalization is the primary culprit.
Back around the time when Metal Gear Solid V:GZ launched, I downloaded it on my PS4 at home and was able to stream it to my Vita over wifi while I was at university. It was fully playable and responsive, and the only real issue was that the PS4 controller had more physical inputs than the Vita, so some of them had to be emulated with the rear touchpad. Other than that, it was fully responsive and playable.

So Sony were very much ahead of everyone back in ~2014. Not only did they implement game streaming, they even let you stream games that you physically own. They clearly have some extremely talented engineers working for them, but it seems like to save a buck they got their execs from the bargain bin.

Pretty much all of knowledge work is on the table, I feel - this is a litmus test for how any other profession will be treated by the public eye in the future.

With art, maybe artisans will get more work since people may want their picture to be made into reality (mostly with photorealistic objects that were generated).
For personal accounts though, I somehow feel uneasy about reliance on a small piece(s) of HW.

Most people already have a small piece of hardware called a phone that can be applied to the same effect.

Free/open source TOTP apps are readily available for both iOS and Android. This isn't rocket science, it's a simple SHA hash that either works or it doesn't.

What if you lose your phone? Remember --- this is 2FA so you need more than my phone to access my accounts. My TOTP app is password protected and I have a backup of the keys so I can easily transfer to another phone or use a desktop app to access my accounts.

What happens if you lose your hardware key? Perfect security does not exist.
I read the original post but not much of the discussion. I was referring to the anecdote story at the beginning of the post. I believe even in the US, bleaching your skin has been an obsolete practice so I am not sure which point the anecdote was supposed to make.

Millions or hundred of millions of people using the phase "people of color" doesn't make it correct, especially in a skincare context. I don't call myself colored (I am Chinese) and my black friends don't call themselves colored, my Indian friends don't call themselves colored. This is a nerd's forum so I tried to be nerdy about it.

Edit reply due to rate limit: Corbyn also laid a wreath for one of the terrorists, presumably also in the pursuit of peace.

GHC language extensions are like C++ Technical Reports. They are a way to evolve the language without excessive red-tape on an opt-in basis, and periodically the ones that worked out make it into a new “standard”.

It’s not really all the different from Python PEPs or Rust’s various proposals / nightly stuff.

Just about every language has some form of this.

But that's not new? Stuff like that could go into plenty of NSFW subreddits already, and faking celebrities heads on others bodies have been a thing since the dawn of digital editing (and maybe even earlier).

Regardless, I'd understand if that specific thing was made a bannable offense if that was the reason, but no reason to ban the entire niche.

Just like just because Photoshop could be used for what you're describing, subreddits about digital illustrations are not being banned.

its not a "natural" choice for a developer, unless you've worked in a large scale unix network that's been setup properly.

We've been told for years that file system primitives are bad, unscalable and nasty. part of this is because NFS can be a dick, but a lot is because large scale file systems generally are fast, scalable, coherent, secure and reliable (pick two).

A lot of things can be managed with S3, but it has a lot of flaws.

Unless you've worked at a place where you've had access to something like GPFS(or whatever IBM calls it now), where you can put hooks into everything, and programme how you want to mirror/cache/copy namespaces, it all seems impossible.

Take FB for instance. They've gone balls deep with an S3 clone, which is both slow and difficult to use. Every operation takes about 3 seconds. (pulling a 10k file? pulling a 100meg file? list operation? mkdir? all 3 seconds.) Its an interface on top of the underlying blob store, so its looks like it stores it's metadata in a SQL Db (ie like lustre with metadata node and object storage nodes)

That sucks for machine learning or any kind of "normal" file operations this means there is lots of heavy engineering to get something like performance that would be solved by an ephemeral clustered file system.

The other big thing to note is that clustered filesystems are a massive massive pain in the arse to manage, especially if you choose the wrong one. (looks knowingly in the direction of ceph and gluster) you need to know what tradeoffs you are choosing before you install. Lustre is/was effectively a raid-0 over the network, Ceph is just plain inefficient, gluster is just silly, GPFS is held back by IBM being IBM.

for most people clustered filesystems are wrong choice.

Is it worth pointing out that the model (midjourney) is extrapolating from the textures, spatial arrangements, and image statistics embedded in human art that's already existing?

Not saying humans are the only thing that can produce art, just that -- in this case at least -- human artists carved out the space the model could generate within (which is a massive accomplishment).
David Deutsch (Father of Quantum Computation and one of the most brilliant human beings alive) have a really great way of thinking these kinds of discussions.

He calls it good explanations.

A good explanation is something that is hard to vary while still solving the problem it purports to solve.

He is against most use of Bayesianism when used for predictions.

> If you do any kind of dynamic SQL it can get pretty gnarly though

This can be addressed with typesafe SQL-builders like jooq [1]. I got an OLAP application with plenty of gnarly SQL broken up in individual business rules.

The best is that I don't even touch the SQL much. I expose it read-only to the users, hidden under an advanced mode button; and when they want to change things it often comes already written in SQL (mostly filters and projections). New queries come in requests to mix already-existing parts. And it helps technical knowledge be shared. Win-win all around.

Jooq works well with CRUD/OLTP apps as well. And when you have a problem, you don't have to debug both the ORM and SQL.

> Then it's important to learn how to optimize performance.

Starting with IO at the db level, and execution plan in the db. And ending right there without an ORM. Neither you nor your ORM are going to be smarter than the planner. For starters do you even collect statistics about your data? And your ORM doesn't even know what the downstream processing will be.

> Lastly ORMs deal with the issues an application typically has to deal with anyways. Such as mapping to objects,

Hopefully included with the typesafe SQL builder, but not always needed.

Well maybe there. But if read-availability is your problem, reading from replicas gets you very far.

Comes out of the box with MVCC RDBMS; ie good'ol postgres, mysql

Yes. Which is my main criticism of Haskell: sure, sometimes laziness is very handy, sometimes it's even indispensable... but most of the time, eager is what you want, with judicious sprinkles of explicitly lazy structures (btw, OCaml has "lazy" keyword exactly for that).

Sure, GHC goes to heroic lengths and turns as much lazy computations as it can into eager ones, but there is always a limit to what it can do on its own, and you inevitably end with the programmer having to slap strict patterns and seqs and deepseqs wherever they can reach.
Good arguments (explanations) are hard to vary.

Some would argue that in retrospect strict should have been the default, I sympathize with that view personally somewhat.

Ideally yes but in reality it ends up being a way for trolls to hang out under bridges and take their cut or to block new things to protect existing interests.

Is more housing in the best interest of the majority of people? Public transit? High speed rail? Better energy systems?
I agree so strongly with this.

The point I would add is that hardly anyone uses the empirical process directly. It is all 'this article claims this' or 'this study says that'. It's very 'meta' with little to no personal verification or testing of the claims - ie, theories based on theories or models based on models, or maps based on maps.

Very few check the terrain itself to confirm that the map applies. We trust education, experts, peer review etc. We're drowning in models, especially as these are easily represented on computers, but have no ability to check the models against reality.

PS this disassociation from reality will not improve as we move forward technologically. No doubt, in the metaverse we will be able to create ever more elaborate models, or is it that we will be ever more disassociated from our own anecdotal experiences? (Where 'anecdotal' is something to apologise about).

I expect there is a real answer and a PR answer to this question; The PR answer has something to do with missile guidance and crypto currency. But the real answer i fear is that limiting import/export allows wars to start more easily.
Using a cache (short of the language tools doing automatic memoization, or memoization hints on a function or procedure maybe) before making the code correct but slow is one of the greatest hallmarks of premature optimization. Remember Knuth said "less than 4 percent of a program typically accounts for more than half of its running time".

Write some simple code that does the thing. Then debug it. Then profile it. Then swap out for some more efficient algorithms if necessary in the hotspots. Then look at microoptimizations. In any case, don't spend more time optimizing that it will save in runtime across the lifecycle of the code.
Remember that sarcasm doesn't work on the internet. You need to be explicit about it, such as by adding a "/s" at the end.
