  1. Re:Is compensation really a ban at all? on New Australian Privacy Laws Could Have Ramifications On Google Glass · · Score: 1

    Under the proposal, courts would be able to compensate victims, but the ALRC said it would not propose penalties for offenders.

    I suspect what that means is that the penalty is up to the discretion of the judge. As opposed to charges that have minimum mandatory sentences. Don't quote me though.

    I'm afraid you don't really realize the public attitude about google glass. There have already been several reports of aggressions to google glass users. Not only nobody has ever been convicted or jailed, but in some cases people even applauded the aggressor.

    Ah well. Glass half full is better than nothing. Last time a guy hit me I smiled at him, thanked him and beat the shit out of him in front of his friends and a whole crowd of people and left him bleeding on the sidewalk, and man... I had so much adrenaline in my system I was shivering like a man with hypothermia, I felt like a million bucks. It's not often people provoke me in a fashion that allows me to unleash myself without fear of legal repercussions, and when they do, it feels like Christmas morning.

    MySQL's had a strict mode since 2004 to reject invalid data. They didn't make it default until late 2012 though in 5.6.8, and I couldn't find what the MariaDB default is (short of downloading the source and looking). Even then, they only it in the default config file, so manual or distro-specific configs that omit the setting will fall back to the old truncation mode.

    Yeah, but it didn't always work. I know what the docs say. The last time I looked at them, they were wrong. I don't trust them not to still be wrong, because I've been in the trenches long enough know the man behind the project is a liar and an attention whore. I was hoping to hear from someone who could say "Yeah, I tested it recently, and the constraints work fine now/are still silently ignored."

    If you just need a non-ACID structured data store, why bother with SQL? Currently NoSQL is mostly for analytics, but I think that's just habit.

    It gives you room to grow. If you're sure you won't need room to grow, that's fine, but it's still the typical answer to your question.

    The first item from your link:

    What do you suppose would happen in C/C++ if you have a 32 bit int, and you add 99999999999999 to it? Are you going to curse C/C++ for allowing the int to overflow?

    Other databases (tested: Firebird 1.5rc4, Oracle 8.1.7 and PostgreSQL 7.4) raised errors with the same data.

    Allow me to introduce you to strict mode: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refma...

    Which has been available for almost a decade.

    You're like a dog with a bone. Last time I worked with MySQL was 5.0.1, and it was letting people insert ASCII strings into integer fields, and every time people expressed concerns, all you saw was rhetoric about how that should have been dealt with at the application layer. Which is fine if you're setting up a web forum, but not when you're organizing an enterprise that spans the world and has numerous applications accessing it, where one junior programmers mistake can hose your whole fucking enterprise. No client has mandated that I MUST use it since, therefore, I haven't used it since, and asked a serious question.

    The history of MySQL was very well summed up in an earlier post: "ACID is hard, therefore we don't do it."

    Not just me... most professionals know this and accept it and know that not every tool fits every scenario. Don't know what YOUR fucking problem is.

    I guess we better not use C/C++ in that case. Getting integer overflows means it's not a serious language, we should call them "fuzzy integers" instead.

    If you find a C++ compiler that will let you declare a variable of type 'foo' and store an object of type 'bar' in it without throwing any errors, despite 'bar' not inheriting from 'foo', then yes, I would say it's not a compiler you want to use to do serious work with.

    Does MariaDB still do shit like this?

    http://sql-info.de/mysql/gotch...

    MySQL has always been a way to serve unimportant data at high speed. Great if you're serving up fuzzy matches to people who are doing a Google search and have no preconceptions about what they will get back in response to a search, or organizing a web forum visited by millions where if you lose someones comment, you really don't care. If you're dealing with data where accuracy, reliability and predictability is important, though, it was a ticking time bomb waiting to blow up in your face.

    Has that changed at all? After all the years he spent trying to promote his DB into spaces it didn't belong, telling people that things like data integrity didn't matter and should be handled at the application layer, I have zero trust for the man, but perhaps things have improved?

    Do you really not see the difference between someone's eyes seeing something and a camera that can store video data for anyone who wants to look at the footage seeing something? The brain isn't nearly as good at recalling information, and other people wouldn't have a video to view.

    The camera protects the rest of us from the confusion that arises when one of those people lies about what happened, but if it's just their eyes, liars can have a field day confusing us with he said she said bullshit and get away with murder?

    All you are attempting to protect is the freedom to betray and hurt others, lie, and get away with it. There's no other rational reason to oppose this type of technology.

    What does "medicalising" even mean?

    It's when, rather than the system adapting to its population, the population are offered drugs that will change their behavior. If you choose not to take the drugs and remain a "disruptive individual", that frames you as someone who has made a choice to be disruptive, because you've been offered the "tools" you need to fit in.

    People who use the term "medicalising" reject this view. They believe that if the system doesn't adapt to its population, that represents persecution. They frame the medical professional as someone who is refusing to accept people as they are, and are attempting to overstep their bounds in a bid for power, money, control, respect, whatever.
