Bit of context. Deleting after import is unlikely to have zero'd out the data on the SD - so using photorec would have allowed them to quickly and easily recover their pictures from the SD card.

The thing with programming, to do it well, you need to fully understand the problem and then you implement the solution expressing it in code. AI will be used to create code based on a deficit of clear understanding and we will end up with a hell of a lot of garbage code. I foresee the industry demand for programmers sky rocketing in the future, as companies scramble to unfuck the mountains of shit code they lash up over the coming years. It's just a new age of copy paste coders.

To me, "Unknown" almost implies the possiblity of a value, whereas I've always thought of NULL as being an absence of a value.

edit: an empty string, false, 0 are all values.

I'm not sure where you've got this idea from. Even "new builds" in the UK, with there questionable building methods (which you may be referring to?) are mostly insulation and incredibly efficient to heat.

SQL as API 3 years ago

The way the JSON filters work would be directly coupled to the JSON fix notation and SQL infix notation so it's directly coupled to SQL and doesn't really require a standard, imho.

SQL as API 3 years ago

It's "prefix" notation .. if you search something like "prefix vs infix vs postfix programming languages" it should return a decent explanation. For my case it's personal choice more than anything.. also easier for me to write a VM for.

SQL as API 3 years ago

I've a similar way of interacting with the API of my product but instead keep everything prefix notation (lispy) so for example;

"and": [ { "property": "material", "operator": "equals", "value": "carbon" },

Would be;

["and", ["=", "material", "carbon"], ...]

My empathy is with the people who have their lives destroyed by reckless idiots pulling these "stupid prank"s for likes.. common sense says society doesn't appreciate this nonsense so deterrent is the only way to deal with it - but if you have as better idea I'm sure myself and the world are listening.

Someone crashing a plane on purpose doesn't amount to terrorism - there would need to be a political motivation as well.

Edit: Also the post says up to 20 years .. not sure why you've become fixated on it being simply 20. People dropping planes out of the sky for likes need to be made an example of imo, and I personally would be happy to see him locked up for life as a deterrent to others. The lengths people are going to for likes is frightening.

Probably not; if the disks exist they're almost thirty years old, and probably best kept running in some corner of my memory.

I came across an old box of 3.5 discs a few years back that I had stored away since the early 90's. I recovered them using ddrescue to create images using a cheap USB floppy drive.. was great fun.

"For the last several decades society put massive pressure on kids to conform to heteronormativity. With these pressures lessening more and more people are feeling empowered to explore their sexuality."

He talks about society putting pressure on kids to be straight and then talks about people and sexuality in the same damn paragraph; are you being purposefully obtuse?

Yes and me and my wife laugh about it but there is an obvious distinctive preference for kids male and female which will play into sales .. no one is forcing anyone to buy anything and even back in the 80s growing up I knew kids that would buy toys you'd associate with the other gender.

As a parent I have no idea what you are trying to say with this idea of pushing "heteronormativity" - I don't and don't know any parents that push anything sexual let alone encouraging kids to explore sexuality .. they are kids and will be kids until they mature and begin to feel the urge to explore. This normalising of sexualising of children is abhorrent.

Edit: the voting on this comment is crazy.. the number of HN users that feel sexualisation of children isn't bad is utterly shameful.

Yeah they have I don't disagree .. kids growing up need trust was the point I failed to make.. they need to be able to do things without the fear of being tracked (the adult over the shoulder).. imagine for a second your parents putting an air tag on you as a kid.. depresses me at least.

Edit: I'm sorry, you've called me "sus" because of what exactly? I never said I couldn't reason with my kids school.
