It was purely self interest don't piss off people so that regulators break our monopoly. Once the monopoly was challenged it became less important.

This is essentially the Trolley Problem.

No it's just harder to accurately tax each and every form of wealth so we proxy it by taxing income.

Syria, Libya, Kosovo probably more I am just naming the ones off the top of my head.

Arguably that's honestly worse since he knew and was disingenuous in order to push a perspective that isn't valid.

Apologies, I meant the chanting, the nuclear thing is well documented but yes thanks for the link to that.

Link me a video I want to be informed if this is actually the case.

Iran has conflicting values and has never stopped funding groups that violently support their view even when Obama was president so this is a very myopic view to take.

As you say it can be done but it's an anti-pattern to use a message queue as a database which is essentially what you are doing for these kinds of long running tasks. The reason is that their are a lot of state your likely going to want to status as a task runs and persist and checkpoint yes you can carefully string together a series of database calls chained with message transactions so you don't lose something when an issue happens but then you also need bespoke logic to restart or retry each step and it can turn into a bit of a mess.

Nope, just the Ministry of Truth, God doesn't even have to get involved.

Gifted programs aren't perfect, simply holding students accountable regardless of gifted status would be better. However skin color seems like the dumbest metric to use to hold these programs accountable and has little to do with students test scores so it's highly doubtful that managing your school based on that is going to have a positive outcome.

Just rank by date needed order on a kanban board and work your way through everything in order. If it's constant fight to meet deadlines it will be clear enough that things are backed up.

I think it has been happening for a while now cancel culture had a very negative effect on academia Jordon Peterson and Warren Smith being examples of that. I much appreciate Dr. Sam Richards who walks the fine line of trying to be centerist but he did comment recently how he does gets hate from both sides. Now I know this is going to be down voted because some will say I am both sidesing this when it's clearly one side right now. This is true I think that's however not a great argument to start a conversation. the founding fathers gave us a great foundation to work with it just takes open dialogue to convince enough of the other side that their is an actual good counter argument. The violence we have seen in the past couple months is only going to entrench positions because each side will want the result of that violence to have been meaningful furthering solidifing the separation. Currently I think American agree on the vast majority of things social media just does it's best to highlight our differences but the average person has mostly the same culture and the same day to day issues so I actually am hopeful.

This is actually a particular pet pieve of mine because I worked with the Camel framework which has a lot of boilerplate in strings but if you start using constants for the common parts you now have an unreadable mess of constants concatenated together that buys you nothing.

This is a trap junior devs fall into DRY isn't free it can be premature optimization since in order to avoid copying code you often add both an abstraction AND couple components together that are logically separate. The issues are at some point they may have slightly different requirements and if done repeatedly you can get to a point that you have all these small layers of abstraction that are cross cutting concerns and making changes have a bigger blast radius than you can intuit easily.

What are some resources for these conventions? As far as I can tell everyone else rolls their own bespoke images based off of of a projects image in order to customize the configuration.

O(1) in many cases involves a hashing function which is a non-trivial but constant cost. For smaller values of N it can be outperformed in terms of wall clock time by n^2 worst case algorithms.

Would be more interesting if someone came at this debate from a game theory perspective with bad actors ignoring IP laws, manipulating currency values and implementing tariffs through policies that aren't directly taxing products but restricting who can play in markets. Yes tariffs are bad in a vacuum and I am not saying this article is false even when it's strawmanning some arguments to make it's case but it's seems a bit one sided and possibly nieve without including the context in which these policies are being made so I still remain on the fence as to whether tariffs can be used as leverage.

However since it doesn't actually reason you have to be familiar enough with the subject that you can tell when it is and isn't hallucinating since it's extrapolating from those same shallow articles.

I was being a bit melodramatic, I'll use it occasionally and If AI gets better it can join my team again I don't love writing boilerplate I just know it's not good at writing maintainable code yet.

Yep you are also right, some amount of boilerplate code is perfectly reasonable since some problems are similar but just different enough and unique enough they don't merit designing an architecture that gets rid of the boilerplate. this is probably the most useful thing that AI could do for us. I think I am more worried as a maintainer that we won't see that we are copying all that boilerplate too often and it's subtle bugs are multiplied and now we have to maintain all that code because AI doesn't yet do that.

My interest tend to be bleeding edge where there is little training data. I do use AI to rubber duck but can rarely use it's output directly.

The open question is will someone who learns this way actually develope taste and mastery. I think the answer is mixed because some will use it as a crutch but it will also be able to give them a little bit of insight beyond what they could learn by reading and inquisitive minds will be able to grow discerning.

You know that teammate that makes more work for everyone else on the team because they do what they are asked to do but in the most buggy and incomprehensible way, that when you finally get them to move on to another team and you realize how much time you spent corralling them and fixing their subtle bugs and now when they are gone work doesn't seem like so much of a chore.

That's AI.

When I watched the release notes they didn't sound like it was some ground breaking new pattern it's just a new approach that fits best with zig.

Trying to understand this but what you said to me is essentially, she couldn't prove any of his statements false because she gave off the vibe of someone who was not authentic and trustworthy?

It's ~1% click through most just get the news from the headline.

It's more like muscle memory than cognition. So maybe procedural memory but that isn't catchy.

It would be a stupid position. I was failing to explain that not all rights like the freedom of speech necessarily make sense to apply to foreigners who are given the privilege to enter the country. I am not necessarily firm in this position the other poster made an argument that they can speak because what does it matter which is a good point.

It's a good point though this is also what makes it easier for humans. I think most good abstractions hide unimportant details in order to make it easier to reason about and reduce the context but both the appropriate amount of context and what is an unimportant detail are not consistent between individual devs and don't have good metrics to measure their qualities.
