It's also the same logic you can observe everywhere in business : pushing down responsabilities, outsource resources, leave a paper trail etc.
Re:Why isn’t CPU time more valuable?
on Friday March 08, 2019 @01:32PM (#19340527)
To my eyes just having generics and hiding away pointers and vtables make them very high level, but I think my argument was more about what is coming with the language (aka their standard libraries) and I've definitely seen people ignore the available libraries, even in python.
Re:Why isn’t CPU time more valuable?

I've seen people write Java or C# like I would write plain C. Those first two are insanely high level with large standard libraries.

It's often worse on Windows, since dotfiles aren't hidden and meny dev tools assume they'll be running on *nix even when they support Windows. https://imgur.com/a/Im6G20B capture from my windows box of my $HOME.

1. You search info about "this" in your browser
2. You install "this" with your package manager
3. Even if the "this" installed wasn't the "this" you read about in your browser, it still came from your package manager repos, which you could consider safe, and you'll be able to uninstall it cleanly.
Then I look at the Windows Store and weep.

$2B represents the tiniest fraction of Bezos worth. (1.1%)
As another said, "color me unimpressed". He could double that and still be the richest man alive. He could triple that. He could quadruple that...

Re:Why the Future of Data Storage Is Still Magnetic Tape

Last year I took a subscription to Backblaze, (incidentally) I have around 8TB of data, I have a gigabit upload (a real one), but Backblaze servers are on the other side of the planet for me. It took around 3 or 4 months to upload it all.
That's to say, there's more to it than upload speed, if Backlaze had servers in Europe I'd recommend it much more than I do.

Re:What makes Paris look like Paris? (2012)

Having lived there my whole life (26 years), have you walked ? Paris (stricto sensu) is small. You can walk the longest distance east-west in an afternoon, and buildings do change. Like comparing the 20th district with the 15th, have you not seen buildings change ? Montmartre and Montsouris ? There's not 2 hours of walking between these places.
For the best contrast start at Nation and taking either the subway line 2 (north) or 6 (south), get off every two stations. Between Monceau, La Chappelle and Nation if you don't see a difference...

Re:Advocates say paper ballots are safest
on Saturday August 11, 2018 @07:16PM (#17742035)
That is also a solved problem. Polling places are only opened where representatives of all* candidates can be present plus sworn officials.
And if you think about it, you actually don't want to check that _your_ vote has been counted.
*reasonable exceptions exists
Re:Advocates say paper ballots are safest
on Saturday August 11, 2018 @07:11PM (#17742025)
For example at the last presidential election last year there were 11 candidates, so there was a table with (simplifying) a pile of envelopes, 11 piles of papers (one for each candidate). Generally people don't take the whole 12 items with them. You would pick randomly between 2 or 11 papers (depending on your sense of theatrics) and the papers you're left with after the voting booth, in my case I crumble them and throw them in a bin. Crumbled paper can't be counted. Some people keep them in their pockets until they get home.

"Congratulations, you have invented the most expansive pencil"
In France we don't actually write anything. When we enter the room we're given one paper per candidate with the name and logo printed clearly. Once in the voting booth we put one or none in the enveloppe. That's it. Problem solved.
