Argh is this real or not? Would energy radiated away as a result of inductance be analogous to energy radiated away by gravitational waves in the "water pressure analogy"?
> too much faith in dependency oriented programming
Which is why it's a distraction to even consider this particular person's track record.
Even if this same person pulled one critical package a month for the next year, the fundamental problem is still that the ecosystem in general relies on parties with no obligations to manage critical dependencies.
Does this mean that you think the risk of serious morbidity or mortality is overestimated, or because you think at some point the reduction in social interaction is worse than the pandemic itself?
> Google Buzz publicly disclosed (on the user's Google profile) a list of the names of Gmail contacts that the user has most frequently emailed or chatted with.
Google Buzz is something you definitely don't want to be similar to.
Any diagram like this should include an estimate of usage, and how much that usage will cost, for every "block of architecture" displayed. Absent that, it's impossible to tell whether it's a good idea or a bad idea.
Moreover the cloud providers should make it harder for an uncontrolled "block of architecture" to accidentally spend too much money. The focus seems to be on "always available", but depending on how fast it's spending your money, it might be better if it crashed.
Expanding further, perhaps each "block of architecture" should have a separate LLC dedicated to it to control billing liability. Incorporate your "lambda fanout" to keep it from bankrupting your "certificate manager" when it goes haywire, and let it go out of business separately.
You're missing the point by focusing on the job search information specifically.
Any information provided without a clear understanding that it would be made public should not now be made public by default, even if it is just a name and some badges.
That would only really matter if the poster were really close to the threshold. Moreover the gaming of the system would be unlikely to work forever, requiring too much coordination of effort.
But to answer your question, yes, it is turning the karma system on its head for people near the top of the standings; the idea being that having "titans of karma" in the community becomes detrimental at some point.
You'd lose any privileges associated with a high number of karma points, also all of your previous content would be removed, so people could cover the same territory in possibly new ways with less fear of being called redundant.
It basically compensates for first-mover advantage in forums.
Someone should start a competing service then. My recommendation would be to have a "maximum karma" limit, at which point the account (mod or not) and all of its activity are deleted, and the owner has to sign up again and work their way back up from zero.
It's becoming really difficult to figure out whether an X-core i5 is better or worse (even for a specific purpose) than a Y-core i7 or any other combination of [model, clock_speed, num_cores].
Last time I bought a machine I cut this Gordian Knot by not giving a shit, which has to count as some kind of failure of branding.
> It does not, however, sound like an attacker can establish arbitrary TCP connections
Maybe not, but what if the ports you have open actually are HTTP servers for development purposes? In that case wouldn't a website be able to crawl your unreleased work, and/or mess with what you're doing, with requests seemingly "out of nowhere"?
I think you're combining consciousness and free will into a single thing. Consciousness lies in the subjective experience (in fact it seems like you allow for perception); whether you have any agency or are just a subjective experiencer "riding along" with deterministic fate is a separate matter.
Why should society accommodate "the gifted" instead of the other way around? Highly talented individuals almost intrinsically less in need of society's assistance.
