This sounds exactly like what people were saying right up to February 2022: it doesn't make sense, Russia won't invade Ukraine, Russia has enough land, it is geopolitical suicide. …

When it was raining yesterday, and people with weather experience say "it might rain tomorrow", do you insist umbrellas should be left at home because it's just speculation? Except…

Is there data in 2021 that would have led you to think Russia would attempt an outright invasion of Ukraine? Is it really so outlandish to think that Russian irredentism[0] will co…

Macroeconomics is very different from microeconomics. Your spending is my income and my spending is your income. If the government spends a dollar, where does it go? Presumably it …

I see what you mean, but ACID is a fairly foundational expectation for SQL transactions (D being the relevant feature here) That being said, my background is primarily Microsoft SQ…

I looked into this some more. There are other ways than explicit fsync. See this blurb on FUA (which basically treats the I/O as write-through) https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/…

I'm not sure we're using the same terminology. Committed means the transaction has been hardened to disk. That's the D in ACID. Otherwise, is the suggestion that there be an artifi…

Sure, but now when transaction 1 is "committed", it isn't actually guaranteed to be there in the face of interruption. That's a big change to the default behavior...

Sure, but the comment I responded to was lamenting that the commits are not asynchronous by default. The documentation I linked to was all about the considerations and behavior for…

How would that work without risking loss of committed transactions? > Fully durable transaction commits are synchronous and report a commit as successful and return control to the …

PHP has grown up but in its wild youth was notorious for such gems as mysql_escape_string vs mysql_real_escape_string, rather than proper parameterization It's not so much about Tu…

Yes, you're right. I wasn't able to double-check as the repo was deleted at the time. That said, AIUI making the tags read-only would still often be vulnerable to semantic-version …

I don't think that's exactly what happened here: the compromise created new tags but generally the tag consumption relies on semantic versioning In other words: you specify version…

Erm, most file systems allow you to change data too, right? Hence S3 is emphatically not a file system.

Not to mention removal of the alternatives in favor of GPS, e.g. shutting down VOR beacons (see e.g. https://www.flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/popular/... )

I don't think it's wrong to blame people who make life more difficult for others for their own aggrandizement The game doesn't exist without players. I could make more money if I w…

It depends on what the broader economy is doing Is government spending crowding out private investment? (Is the private sector competing with the government for employees?). If so …

What evidence have you seen that this was somehow instigated by China, and not Russian ethnic nationalism/imperialism for its own sake? Remember that this started well before 2022.…
