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…

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 the…

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 bac…

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. S…

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 …

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 to…

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 configur…

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 cas…

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 thro…

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 sa…

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 maint…

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 designi…

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…
