How do you address the problem caused by the combinatorial explosion of adding a whole new ISA to the OS*distribution combination of platforms that need to be targetted, tested for, and debugged?

It's very odd how this report is jam-packed with assertions and qualifiers regarding the accusations, but somehow fails to specify or give any substance or even provide any basis for these allegations. Instead, they simply complain that the criminal network which was operated by Brazil's Workers' Party (PT) was found guilty of corruption, a fact that is not even dispute by PT, and that somehow receiving a sentence for the crimes they have committed is somehow unfair.

If there is ay basis for thesr accusations then why are they refusing to present thr , and instead just publish baseless accusations and a long string of unfounded qualifiers?

This fictional scaling problem makes as much sense as correlating the effect of some public policies on the height of the political leader or average temperature. It's a silly scapegoat that makes no sense at all.

> "I cant know" is a subset of "I dont know"

There is a world of difference between "don't know" and "can't know", as the first implies a shortcoming on the side of the developer while second one states that the question is patently meaningless to someone who does master the language.

> The code is undefined, but "I don't know." is still the correct answer for what happens to the variable.

Actually, as undefined behavior should not be used at all then the correct answer should be "nevermimd these examples, they are all bug-ridden".

> This kind of generalization is normally read as "Typically, doctors [as a profession] are slow to…"

Medical professionals need to be slow to adopt alternatives because they are required (and expected) to be highly reliable. Just because there's a particular industry where rebuilding the whole infrastructure every 6 months without fear of any consequence is considered normal or even desirable, that does not mean the rest of the world should or even could operate likr that.

What's wrong with using email to communicate with the medical records office?

And as CT scans are private information, why would you assume it would be Ok to make them available through a public server and send them over the internet?

> Most of the "problems" also exist in enteprise scale database server such as sql server and sybase.

You've repeatedly dumped a long string of personal attacks based on statements of fact that were fundamented rather well, and in spite of your repeated appeals to authority you've failed or refused to comment on the technical aspects and decided to react with attacks and repeated assertions that in your eyes other alternatives are not perfect. Perhaps its high tine for you to step away from the keyboard and think about what you've been doing in this thread and how you've decided to portay yourself in this discussion.

The case for this hypothetical scaling problem is baseless and absurd. It's a silly scapegoat. That's it.

The US is a federation of 50 states and in theory is highly liberal. Therefore at most your example should scale at the state level. As most states have fewer inhabitants than Norway then I don't see your point.

> Yes, they're at a much higher price point, but it's also way cheaper than AWS.

Everything is way cheaper than AWS.

The name is rather unfortunate as there is already a software project with that name: Sanic, Python async web framework.

Voters don't remember which maintenance task was performed last month, but union types don't forget who acted against their interests.

> "How long will X take?" > > "I don't know, I've never done X before."

I fail to see how your example makes any case on how estimating how many resources a project needs is stupid.

At most your example argues that asking inexperienced and clueless devs to estimate stuff they know nothing about produces highly unreliable information.

The main difference between hacking away at a code base and software engineering is identical to the difference between construction workers and civil engineering. Sure, estimating is hard. Yet of you want reliable estimates you need to check with experienced professionals.

What's stupid in wanting to get an idea of how much a project costs in order to decide if it's a good idea to pursue, let alonr allocate resources?

Local government have insight on the capacity of services currently available in some regions, and also which growth strategy they could follow to avoid very expensive investments with very negative externalities (i.e., congestioned freeways whose capacity can't be extended).

Allowing high-density residential construction near public transportation hubs creates more value than allowing urbam sprawl to grow indefinitely. The single most important reason why people are forced to waste their lives in long commutes is allowing residential neighborhoods to spring up in the middle of nowhere in places where their only way in and out of their homes is through a long congestioned road served by no public transportation service.

> inagility of anyone to have a usable discussion on the lack of strategic planning in initiatives like this...

Have you considered the possibility that you fail to have what you perceive to be a usablr discussion on your topics of choice because your personal concerns have no rational basis or support?

I mean, this newspiece covers a regulatory change, one that preserves low density occupation eventhough it opens the way to a gradual and very slow increase in occupation. This gradual impact enables services to infer the actual demand of a system, and their patterns, and actually adapt the supply to the actual demand. In other words, day-to-day management of this sort of public infeastructure.

Supply of basic utilities such as power and water are provided centrally, thus they are more than able to adjust to demand. System bottlenecks are already known by utility and sanitatoon services. Therefore even if occupation doubled overnight the only problems they would cause would be localized in some bottlenecks that are handled by small-scale interventions.

So, what's bothering you? Do you believe that a duplex has the same effect as suddenly buildiling a massive network of high-rise buildings?

Why haven't they simply rezoned some areas to allow higher density housing? This sort of blanket change doesn't grant much control on which zone should increase density.

So you acknowledge that infrastructure in fact can be updated. What's bothering you then?

Your hypothetical example assumes that this measure leads available housing to double while prices fall about by about 15%, and even so your conclusion is that this doesn't help anyone?

What do you mean by "low-content"?

> Reminder that prison slavery

Aren't those prison jobs open only to volunteers among the prison population?

> Someone who can't control their anger isn't someone you want poking around your insides with a scalpel.

If the surgeon is prone to violence fits as you claim he might be, wouldn't it show on his track record as a surgeon?

Honest question: how should someone's domestic violence charge affect your choice of surgeon?

> Now for the first time in history there is a form of money that you can prove in a matter of seconds that your money didn't move when you gave custody to the bank.

Why do you believe this has any relevance at all? People want to buy stuff, not exchange bill with serial number #abcxyz with stuff.

And from my example you can easily understand why your assertion is quite wrong to begin with.

Are you sure that both complains are being made by the same person? Vue is a popular project, and unless an idea is backed unequivocally by 100% of its user base then you'll always hear some users arguing in favour and others against.

> They do something good but freeloaders just turn up and demand more.

I hope you realize that by "they" you mean the hardware vendor and by "freeloaders" you mean the vendor's customers.

> The company representing that which is destroying the river-basins ecosystem.

If any organization represents the destruction of Amazon's river basin ecosystem, those organizations are exclusively the state institutions of the 9 countries that cover that area. They are the sole responsible entities that decide which activities are and are not allowed, and how to enforce their rules to punish those who break them.

> They wanted the tld for tourism.

How many sites are they expecting to operate in order to justify a dedicated tld ?

> Why are we letting this group of business people make decisions about global internet?

Whether you like it or not, those "global businesses" do have an internet presence that's unquestionably more extensive than some countries. It would not be fair if organizations or countries that clearly are not interested in having a say on any issue regarding the global internet would have more of a say in these issues than those whose livelihood is the internet.
