Isn't it still live and well?

Pop-Corn Time would like to have a word with you

To be fair, he is speaking for himself.

How do you know?

Isn’t it illegal for a business to offer a product/service at a price lower than its cost?

I remember using BEA Tuxedo 15 years ago and I can't help wondering if theoretically one could do microservices using it or some OLTP to achieve consistency when needed. Has it progressed over the years? Is there any free alternative to it? Or is it dead tech? When I used it it was hard and too much extra work, but it did the job successfully.

"I've worked with microservices a lot. It's a never-ending nightmare. You push data consistency concerns out of the database and between service boundaries."

This exactly. Me too. Data consistency concerns in sufficiently large real world projects can be practically dealt with only 2 ways IMO: transactions or spec changes.

I love the TNT (the courier) ads that appear on the page (at least in my browser). So much for the sophisticated AI.

Help me understand as I am not living in Germany:

Authorities can search and seize property of any civilian without a warrant if said civilian is just a witness? If yes, then who decides and how is it decided that someone is a witness?

If for example I happen to stand in front of my window and witness a crime being committed in the street, they could search my house without any consent or warrant?

Apparently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosedive

That was already too late

"Its chairman has long argued against the rules, pointing out that before they were put into effect in 2015, service providers had not engaged in any of the practices the rules prohibited."

That begs the question: Why then do they oppose the rules if only to start engaging in the practices they prohibit?

:)

Exactly. This is what I wish for bitcoin. I dont know if it will ever be true though.

I can also verify this. I currently have 932 flawless imperial rubies in my stash and they are all red.

Do you care about the price of 1 dollar? "In what?" you will ask. "Exactly. In what?" I will respond.

Right now I have Discord, VS2017, a Postgres IDE and a bunch of Chrome tabs open. Task manager reports for memory usage (descending order): Discord: 1168,4MB, VS2017: 463MB, Chrome tabs: about 300MB each, PostgresTool: 152MB and the rest below 100MB. If I dont include all the chrome tabs, Discord uses more memory than all the other apps together, and some of them are "big" apps.

So my 32GB RAM, high specs system, is able to run only up to ~ 30 instances of Discord, not counting even the OS.

Wtf. It feels like malware.

In FL, would it be illegal if I installed solar panels and just charged a large battery, never connecting it to the grid?

Is it illegal to even just own a solar panel that is not connected to the grid?

If one considers the big three to have become a problem then there is a simple solution. One should just stop using them. Why bring politics into it? The users made them what they are, the users can undo it.

> The argument you make here is that it's unfair to treat people differently based on ascribed statuses (race, sexual orientation, gender identification, etc.). But I think exactly the opposite;

I have been thinking about it and I believe that neither correct or wrong. It seems it is about how one defines fairness: Is is fairness of opportunity or fairness of outcome?. I would like to know more about this. Is there any paper, book, analysis that tries to tackle with it? I would love to learn about philosophical approaches, attempts to resolve it based on solid rational reasoning in the context of some moral values. Anyone?

He said "coincidentaly", though :)

So, you believe that equality ,in this context, is a reality only if the distribution of gender in corporate employees reflects more or less the distribution in general population?

Exactly. I really can't understand why someone would fail to see this. Unless they have some other definition of equality. But I genuinely would like to hear other definitions and discuss the semantics of that word in the social context.

I think that is an unavoidable consequence of the openness.

Subjective in the sense that something you find morally wrong i could find it morally right, or morally neutral. E.g. for the specific issue of this thread, I consider what they did to be morally neither bad or good. The developer has no obligation(moral or legal) to check with me before commiting stuff in the repo he controls. He doesn't owe me anything. In fact I could say that I owe him (morally, by my moral standards, because I 've been using his code). But that's just my view.

I believe that is a self-conflicting proposition, since I believe morality is a subjective "property"

I wouldn't make so much fuss for some changes that:

1.They have every right to make (it is open source and they have write access to the repo)

2.I have every right to either fork and reverse, or completely stop using.

By that logic Postman native is a native browser hardcoded to open only one tab and load Postman's javascript code upon start-up

I am sorry. English is not my mother tongue so it came off wrong. I didnt think the sentence was bizarre. It just resonated with me so much , maybe because currently I am involved as a programmer in a project where if I had more domain knowledge, my life would be so much better and I would be able to take initiatives a lot more. And I just got a feeling of a need to support your work. I called it bizarre, because at the moment it seemed too sudden. Looking forward to the complete text. Nice work :)

I was misunderstood. What I find bizarre is my felling to want to give money for the reason that that phrase resonated with me a lot. The sentence he wrote is not bizarre at all. It is a gem.
