Because it's less moving pieces to only have one bit of state to think about. You already have a connection string to your database with a password or authn/z with your cloud provi…

FDA does regulate cosmetics components, and FTC regulates what claims they can make. It’s hard to make a binary decision that one thing is a drug and something else isn’t. You can …

I bet this is correlated with how much they like/know Postgres already. When people don’t understand their database’s features, they want it to behave like something else they do u…

More like "you must be on the newest version of everything all the time, or you will get hacked".

You don’t, there’s always a choice about what to include and what to exclude in your system. Unless you are hand selecting every atom that goes into a thing (maybe you make nuclear…

In my experience, the median user for communication apps is mobile _only_. Before that, it better be a website that works well on phones, and decently on desktop. As a developer I …

In my experience, there is no in-memory database replacement that correctly replicates the behavior of your database. You need to use a real database, or at least an emulator of on…

But our brains do map high-dimensionality input to dimensions low enough to be describable with text. You can represent a dog as a specific multi-dimensional array (raster image), …

The phrase implies that powerful companies know that historically black neighborhoods don’t have the resources to mount a legal defense against abnormal pollution from data center …

“Work best” is giving Apple the benefit of the doubt here. The point of standards like Bluetooth is to avoid vendor lock-in and promote interoperability. If Apple chooses to levera…

You can certainly do that if you restrict software to be a mathematical artifact instead of an executable running on one of 3 kernels with different APIs and behaviors, let alone t…

I downvoted you because you are exceptional but the rest of the world is not. Most people benefit from traditional education, software engineering is not different.

You are not technically wrong, but you are economically wrong. The water cycle _could_ require spending grid energy to filter/pump water into an economically usable state. Instead …

Right, but the genius was in understanding that the dynamics of a system under PID control are predictable and described by differential equations. Are there examples of LLMs corre…

Surely this is wrong. Government spending isn't immune from opportunity costs. If fewer players receive all the money to provide fewer more expensive goods and services, then reven…

I think the governments only role is to guarantee the planes don’t fall out of the sky or crash into each other, and then the airlines can price compete.

Do they have to show up? What is the carrier policy on travelers that “miss their uber”?

Depends on the state, but for my alma mater (Georgia Tech) I'm pretty confident the answer is yes.

The ones where human interaction is the point. Education, bar tenders, nursing, tourism, for example.

I think the latter view is usually held by people who know they won't experience productivity gains from automation. Say someone who is has driven a taxi all their life or driven a…

The part in the constitution about "promote the general Welfare" (first sentence) definitely depends on funding research.

Who has the kubectl credentials to humanity?

Low-key this is true, I don't trust Python code.

> review the most basic financial information of our government departments That is what the GAO is for https://www.gao.gov/ , and these people are much better than script kiddies.…

That has not been my experience, do you have a source?
