I think it's worthwhile to be concerned about hashing ASICs used in crypto mining. They're stupidly cheap and outperform GPUs for hashing. They don't have much in the way of memory so they're not useful in memory-hard problems.
Depending on the team I'd still opt for using "anything else" rather than Postgres as a queue. The tendency to have long-lived connections combined with a flow of short-lived messages will yield a runaway queue (due to MVCC) at low enough message rates that even an early-stage startup might notice.

Alternatively, write all the business logic in the database. This way you can better leverage the DB features and ensure that logic only needs to be written once.

If that was a jab at me it's misdirected. In the comment you originally replied to I literally talk about overbuilding.

And yet very few if any renewables proponents talk about the absolute requirement to overbuild, and the cost.
We already have that, considering gpt requires a lot of code to train itself, the transition to a new language might not be worth it, so we might be stuck with the ones we have now.
And enumclaw horse case....
Business logic in the database screams anti-pattern to me.

How do we know who created the rule, edited the rule? How can we reason about the sequence in which these rules are executed based on larger use cases with complex interactions.

Seems like a fire waiting to happen.
We use it at work and for whatever reason every time I get it working one one device, it stops working on another. That and it seems to be fragile across the VPN.

If you plan on never changing away from postgres, never having to shard, never needing to do anything that a trigger can’t support, then it is a good option. Which may be true for the vast majority of the apps. You also need sql expertise in addition to app dev expertise.
That sounds like an organizational problem, not a problem with Lego bricks.

You can never have enough Lego. :)
The only feasible way I see for removal is via donation or some form of hemodialysis. As the saying goes, the solution for pollution is dilution (or at least in the medical sense!)
But what problem is moving to triggers solving? Is keeping all your logic in a single place actually a problem, or is moving part of it to Postres tempting because it's nifty? How much training will you have to provide for new hires to be able to run with Postgres triggers instead of just Django logic?
Business rules are already often in multiple separated places in a codebase. If you mean "it should be in the same git repository", then triggers should be already in migrations.

But IMO, even migrations are a stopgap solution to this problem. In some cases, such as in ORMs like Rails' ActiveRecord, even the column names aren't present in the model by default, they are only migration files.

The real solution is putting the definition of the triggers (and all other database things too) closer to the code that operates on them. In models, for example. And models should enforce that only the defined triggers are present in the database. Of course, since most ORM users aren't really big DB users, this isn't exactly common. Until we get features like this, I agree that triggers can be confusing.
As of July 2015, 600 billion Lego parts had been produced.[1]

I feel like we're coming full circle 30+ years and have to re-learn the perils of db triggers. When to use them and when to not. These days most of the db has been abstracted away from developers using ORMs so it must seem like the discovery of something new when in fact we already know.

Don't write business logic in the datastore.

Indeed it's GDPR issues that lead to the ban. I agree with you that the expression" safety of AI" may be too generic. The right to data portability (downloading your own data) was implemented only recently and that's what made this project possible. There are other concerns like the right to be forgotten which implies the ability to delete someone's data. For LLMs this would mean filtering the input data, retraining models which come with high costs.
Most people rather like music.
A call is more reliable.

Furthermore if a call can't be placed the originating system is aware of this immediately, and can proceed accordingly (e.g. move to the next person in line). This isn't the case for any other notification method, which requires the (absense of) an explicit ack by the user to infer that the notification failed.

Pagerduty handles this very well. If you have the app it will first try to notify through the app. If there is no ack within a couple of minutes it calls you.

If you persevere with this project you'll quickly realize you need phone calls.
>>Apple being motivated by improving security are BS

Their motivation is most definitely money now. Maybe not in the start though. Whatever their motives are though I’m super satisfied as a customer that they haven’t went down the android path of version calamity, an app store that I have zero trust in as an app buyer. Also tell me an android flavor the supports devices purchased 6 years ago? It’s a package deal. Having the wealth that is generated by the things that the EU has mandated will cause cuts in other areas of device support and/r&d. The option is making less profit or bumping prices to offset. In time we will see.

I think it would be great of Apple to just stop selling devices in the EU as a thanks to politicians who voted for this ill advised rule. I’d like to see how long it would take for them to roll it back because you know they would eventually buckle to the people.

To you and those of like thinking just assert your freedom of choice and go buy an android device along with the shit show it is and leave us to our relatively safe walled garden.
You could probably argue yes, since a 3rd party app isn’t validated in any way by apple
I want to see opinions and answers from actual humans, not from a Random Bullshit Generator. If I wanted to see the Random Bullshit Generator’s opinion, I would have asked it myself.

> Libreboot is a downstream distribution (or fork) of coreboot which doesn’t allow non-free binaries (“blobs”)

Libreboot does allow some blobs, if there is no good alternative, and because a mostly-free board is better than a completely non-free board according to their policy: https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html

> and only supports a small number of devices, the vast majority of which are over 10 years old.

That one’s probably accurate.

> Libreboot also doesn’t “keep track” with coreboot; its most recent release is from mid-2016, whereas coreboot is updated regularly.

The link we’re commenting on leads to a release announcement. The linked announcement mentions the previous release was 10 days ago. There was a gap in libreboot releases between September 2016 and May 2021, so the Random Bullshit Generator’s response is outdated by 2 years.

>The emergent consensus among scholars is that, of the 14 million prisoners who passed through the Gulag camps and the 4 million prisoners who passed through the Gulag colonies from 1930 to 1953, roughly 1.5 to 1.7 million prisoners perished there or they died soon after they were released.[
I worked for a short while at a place that tried following a similar dogma. Hiring was incredibly difficult, as was retaining people (such as myself). Writing business logic in code instead of DB functions is much more approachable than keeping it in the DB.
> A very common theme I see among groups who commit time to these game remake/remaster/port passion projects is that they seem quite willfully ignorant of what the law is and shocked when the obvious outcome comes to pass. [..]I think this suggests just how strongly emotionally attached people can become to games they grew up with.

I have also seen it in non-game projects, e.g. retro OS reimplementations.

I am not even sure where this misconception comes: that you can just decompile the original software, rearrange the source files a bit and that's it! . Even otherwise smart people actually believe this. It's incredibly damaging and pervasive thinking; by now I have to mistrust all new "miracle" contributors that come up with significant amounts of code.
> Another problem is that public high schools do such an atrocious job at instruction that community colleges have to pick up the slack, so you have schools teaching basic algebra and simple reading/writing skills (i.e. 9th grade level etc.) to young adults whose primary education was a disaster. It's a pretty sad state of affairs, at least in the USA.

One of the advertising slogans of the community college I got my 2-year degrees from was literally 'no entry requirements', so offering remedial coursework was really important there.

When I tutored (math and computer science) there, I liked working with the remedial students. They were just as motivated as anybody, and it was satisfying to see concepts fall into place for them as we went along.

Those remedial courses can also be nice for advanced junior high students, or students at high schools that are crummy in specific STEM subjects, if their parents have the resources and time to get them there. Sometimes a dual-enrollment program also means that those students can get high school credit for those classes, and use them to skip certain classes at their high school or graduate early.
I’ve been reading a lot of books in Russian, watched lots of movies and attended a lot of contemporary art exhibitions in Moscow and St.Petersburg. I’m struggling to find any traces of such contribution of emigrant communities in the last 30 years (well, maybe Akunin or Sorokin?). There are a few names from Soviet times, but they represent a fraction of what’s been happening and emigrants usually reflect on the past.
What's also funny is this idea that leaving a company ASAP will put you on bad terms with your coworkers whom you might need to rely upon in the future.

Outside of very specific circumstances, it's probably not the least bit true. Most of us simply aren't that important, and very few of us are that important that a team will be screwed if we GTFO ASAP. I can count on more than one hand the times that the lead developer or PM were gone for multiple weeks and virtually nothing changed as a result. If coworkers are indeed screwed by your departing without taking a month to do prep work, that's more often a sign that the company is dysfunctional. It's a rare circumstance that someone has unique skills and knowledge that aren't easily replaced.

I've had my share of times where I left a company either less than two weeks after or immediately upon quitting, and have never been shunned by coworkers I was on good terms with. It just doesn't happen. Nobody cares. If anything, I've been praised by coworkers I've been reaquainted with at other companies for leaving behind a dysfunctional environment with few f@$#s given.
On the contrary there is a pretty clear and unambiguous interoperability motivation here. The goal is literally to run the game on plateform it wasn’t intended for.

I am not going to pronounce myself on it being or not a copyright violation in any and all countries of the world. As most of the people having strong opinions here, I’m not an expert nor that knowledgeable on the question.

Impressive feat of decompilation anyway.
>If there's no legal option where your customers can pay you, that sure can lead to a revenue drop.

But you think that all stopped as soon as there was a legal option? Do you really think there are no people out there who can afford it but chose to pirate anyway?

I don't know why people find it so hard to believe other than they are trying to justify their own activity. Do you think the media industry spent all this money on anti-piracy activities just for the fun of it?
Why is getting a PhD good training for being a disgruntled and unemployed post-doc? Why should society spend sooo much money training someone and filling their heads with knowledge only to just kick that person out of science?

Indeed. That's the point here. Russia was high up on the axis of overall innovation. But by adopting the bolshevist/communistic terror system, the direction of progress was permanently set into a downward direction. It is a loss for all of humanity at 100% certainty.
Cookie consent banners as we know them were constructed by the IAB as a framework made of dark patterns to annoy people into allowing adtech cookies. The idea was to be as annoying as they could get away with, so that end users would blame the GDPR. https://www.vice.com/en/article/m7epda/its-bad-design-on-pur...
Why is that a dark pattern? "Reject all" and "Confirm my choices" without checking anything does the same (I'm on the team behind this).

Edit: to be clear because this gets downvoted - when I'm saying "does the same", I mean both options will be treated as "I do not give consent".
Interesting learnings for me from this article:

- Lego operates multiple $1B+ factories around the world - they are not just a design and marketing company

- 1400 manufacturing jobs in Virginia expected - not just an automated thing. Anyone know what changed economically to justify the high US labor costs? Particularly compared to MX

- 100% Carbon neutral via on-site Solar in Virginia (not particularly sunny). No offsets shenanigans. Oil prices might be too high today if this is about to happen to most new factories in the world.

Triggers protect you against bugs.

If your application logic needs to remember to update a denormalized column somewhere it's very easy for a bug to slip in in the future when someone adds a new piece of Python code but forgets to update the denormalized column.

With triggers you can eliminate that source of bugs entirely.

This is even more valuable if you have more than one system interacting with a single database.
So many seem to have "base64 damage", they get confused when they don't have to base64 encode something. To attach documents (e.g. scans) to a given order in our API, you just POST the raw file directly to the endpoint with appropriate content type. Simple.

Yet I get so many questions like "but we base64-encode them first?" or similar. One dev mentioned he'd never done such a "raw" POST.
That's backwards! Michael Mann filed a defamation lawsuit against a skeptic and then lost it nine years later. The court awarded the defendant full costs:

https://climatechangedispatch.com/tim-ball-defeats-michael-m...

Not only did the B.C. Supreme Court grant Ball’s application for dismissal of the nine-year, multi-million dollar lawsuit, it also took the additional step of awarding full legal costs to Ball.

The case was about whether Mann was engaged in knowing scientific fraud when he made his false hockey stick graph. Tim Ball said he did, and Mann sued, but in the end he preferred to lose the case rather than reveal his data and working, which says a lot:

In the pre-trial Discovery Process, the parties must give up key evidence in a reasonable fashion, that proves or disproves the Claim. Dr. Mann lost his case because he abused Discovery by refusing to honor the “concessions” he made to Ball in 2018 to finally show in open court his R2 regression numbers (Mann’s math ‘working out’) for his graph (see ‘update’ at foot of article).
The USPS is subsidised for the boonies and that's just fine by me. In wider comparison to urban service levels, perhaps health care is the most glaring gap nowadays ?
As someone with young kids who recently bought a $70 Lego set, it’s not just the plastic blocks, it’s a whole design. My daughter built this awesome Lego tree house with over a thousand pieces. She followed the instructions and built it step by step over a few days, which was fun for her in and of itself, and now that it is complete she continues to play with it.

So sure the plastic pieces are easily reproduced but clearly Lego does great work on architecting some really cool designs. (I have no affiliation with Lego company to be clear)
You are wrong. Changing names from a decompilation is a derivative work, and falls under copyright; clean room reimplementations such as IBM's bootloader from the 80s or ReactOS very specifically do not look at the disassembly for this exact reason. In your analogy, renaming a disassembly is copying an entire article and then changing words with synonyms, which is not legal either.
It's important to note first of all that we haven't meaningfully escaped Earth's gravity well. Our models seem to make it possible, I'm sure it can be done, I'm sure we can even get to other stars without changing our understanding of physics.

At the same time the notion of "absolute minimum level of intellect" is somewhat poorly defined. It's somewhat hard to imagine, but there could be a set of physics theories that don't include relativity or gravity or any of our familiar concepts, but still enable interstellar travel.

Maybe another civilization skipped our fragmentary and incorrect understanding and hit directly on a unified field theory. Or maybe we both have fragmentary and incorrect understandings, both are essentially wrong in every way, and yet they are close enough for practical purposes. Is the civilization which developed the more practical model of physics "smarter" or just lucky?

Does "smarter" mean that you develop a model of physics which is closer to ground truth, or one that enables you to build better spacecraft, or one that enables you to build better computers?

Uh, it's easy? You install the app, select the course and just start learning pretty much immediately. It got me from "I want to learn japanese one day" to actually learning japanese.
