This makes sense, but the the vast majority of tooling including ORMs, autocomplete SQL IDEs, and even suspect application code relies on table descriptions and listings provided by the information schema
That is why we have development and production environments. The production environment is expected to operate in a potentially hostile space and does not need developer conveniences beyond the ability to generate alerts and produce logs, which should be stored in a safe way, everything else should be locked down as much as possible.
I think that its easier to compare the shutter to airplane windows.
The windows are there just to make the humans inside more comfortable, similar to how many people would be more comfortable without a camera pointed at them.
Flashing firmware is a big hill to climb for bad guys in most peoples worlds.
Huh. This is interesting, I can empathize with both sides of the argument. Are C text editors not able to take care of syntax highlighting the differences between a typedef'd scalar and a typedef'd struct? Colouring the type one way or another I figure would be sufficient.
Creating a custom system to suit your situations needs sounds great and the thought process was fun to read, but some of the claims lobbed here are pretty questionable.
Specifically, the claim that Dota's matchmaking system is "probably wrong" because the model chosen doesn't match your own findings feels like a reach. Sibling commenters have pointed out how skill variance is important to allow the ELO system to function in games like chess. Additionally, someone else pointed out that the sigmoid function is similar to a linear funciton close to zero.
It seems at least as likely that Acolytefight doesn't have a high enough level of skill expression present in the game to see top players "curve out" weaker players, rather than exponential functions mapping player skill to be useless or wrong.
Does elo suck? Maybe, but this hasn't convinced me.
For instance, we can draw a comparison to recent controversy with social media platforms. Do you think that social media platforms should be able to remove any content on their platform, regardless of legality? I believe that they can! Otherwise objectionable is hopefully that catch all.
I view the OP as a bit of a misguided test. The blog post, in all likelihood, will remain up. The control the authour speaks of will still remain in the cloud provider's hands.
If you're going to take "legalese" seriously, what you need to take seriously is what it means, which is often slightly different from what it appears to say to a non-lawyer.
Not only do I believe that social media websites should be able to remove content arbitrarily, but that they ought to remove as much content as they can arbitrarily as possible.
this, combined with new government regulation such as EARN IT will make it as difficult and frustrating as possible to communicate on the web, and this will help people move from worse, censorship-prone forms of communication to more robust forms of communication on the internet.
