Nice straw man! Covid infection fatality rates (in other words, what bleepblorp actually used as an example) are well known and not at all grey. Other stuff about covid that you picked to knock down his argument, is, in fact grey. His point was that there is a lot that can be done about obvious falsehoods, not that we have to decide on every single grey area.

Cynics. Skepticism implies they aren't easily convinced, but that isn't the case.

ActiveRecord has thrown ActiveRecord::RecordNotUnique for this and done the right thing for over 11 years (the exception definition got moved to a different file at that point so idk exactly how old it is.)

> ActiveRecord in particular falls short of this

Callbacks are pretty bad but it sounds like Rails went through several near-complete rewrites worth of changes since the last time you used it. There's a lot more in Rails 6 compared to Rails 2.

a recent paper disputes this: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1554-z explanation on Ars: https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/09/we-can-phase-out-fos...

I was in a similar position for years and got a hearing test. Turns out I have a sensory processing disorder that I got help for.

adding a local CA means you can middleman anything you want to, seems like something that should be difficult to do, to me.

tools that export .har format do this for you. Chrome has such a thing in the dev tools, for example

You'd need evidence for this position...

That argument doesn't work since you can say the exact same thing about necks and thighs.

original iMac with USB only...

"it becomes publically accessible 20 years later when the patents expire" I'm about 90% sure this is the opposite of how patents work. You describe the methods in the patent, and in exchange you get to use or license it for the duration of the patent. It's publicly accessible but not usable, which is a useful distinction. Without patents there wouldn't be an incentive to disclose.

I've had people do worse shit than this to me.

I don't have to un-pair and re-pair my LG Tone BT headphones. It's paired to my laptop and my phone all the time

because they have been lying?

It even lets you pick the best audio from one file and the best video from another, and pick a different container format than either of those. Neat stuff

https://github.com/imazen/imageflow works for that and still gives you speed. :P

Most people I know that do this don't understand the security implications of doing such a thing. Choose old devices very carefully...

Consumer disks and SSDs make this much riskier than you think, even if you have done a 'sync'.

This has been happening for 11+ years[1] and is getting worse lately.

>How would this work in your example? What could prevent me from saying I'm gender fluid and walk into the women's showers at the gym?

How does this law prevent anyone from doing that already?

Why isn't there the same kind of backlash and scrutiny on bogus allergy tests like ALCAT?

Sometimes minor updates are done without announcing them. Check the store when it comes back up.

I believe you. This is horrible and you should not have had to go through this. :(

$920USD in the US will get you a I5-6500, 16GB, 980TI, case, PSU, and hard drive. The 6700K wouldn't be enough of a bump to be worth it (I own one.)

970 is really not that much slower and then the whole machine is like $600 instead of $920.

http://exercism.io has helped me to write more idiomatic code (submit a thing, get comments, refactor, also comment on other people's code.) Maybe it'd help you for the languages they have examples for?

or you use multiple drives at once to access the data?

time is a giant disaster in every language and environment I've ever encountered :P

you might be able to reindex or remux this file (save to a new file in the process) to fix it, by the way.
