> chicken pox vaccine (which we never had as kids, since at that time everyone just got the chicken pox)

If you get chicken pox, your chances of getting shingles later in life is much higher. It is not pleasant. Also, chicken pox can be deadly. That's why we have a vaccine now.

My first thought is this was a rehast of the js2js joke: https://eleks.github.io/js2js/

After looking over the website briefly I'm still trying to figure out if this is a joke or not. It's only after reading more that it's clear this is a transpiler. Not the clearest of communication.
Putting people in jail is the wrong solution. You're going to put CEOs in jail because some angry employee at the company decided to add some backdoors, or someone in middle management made the wrong call. Either way, the CEO and high level execs can't constantly monitor every part of a world scale business. Anyone in technology also knows it's impossible to become invulnerable to breaches.

The people in congress/senate have no idea how technology works, because the younger generations are severely underrepresented, and so are technologists.
Essentially all CISC ISA's were designed for "assembly being written by humans". But I'd still choose RISC-V as a first platform to learn assembly for, before anything else. 6502 is particularly crappy in that it only has a 256-byte, non-relocatable stack, which is not really designed for the familiar use (to us) of enabling reentrant subroutines as in C... so even before you take the limitation to a 16-bit address space into account, the most complex thing you're going to be able to "naturally" compile for the platform is some sort of old-school FORTRAN- or BASIC-like language. I can see being interested in the 6502 for the history or the simplicity on the hardware side, but it does have a lot of baggage that's frankly a bit primitive from a modern POV.
I use github pages, so I can't gather such statistics.

Anecdotal, but most of the anti-vaxxers I know are relatively highly educated.
We tend to keep it to important stuff only that the entire company needs to hear. But this past week we had a standup where everyone was supposed to answer a question (I forget what) and we did it in 10-12 minutes. We've been practicing for a long time, many of us come prepared. But even when everyone was expected to say what they were doing that day, we still averaged 10-15 minutes with 70 people. Just come prepared, don't dilly-dally.

I did not mean 'decision' as in 'we began implementing this last week', I meant it as in 'we've been discussing this, we like it, what do you think?'

What do you mean, 'As everyone else is already pointing out, what you know may be separate from what you (want to) believe.'?

This site is awesome and I'm a big fan of Peter Corke!
Ireland has less than half the population of the Paris metro area, so while the difference in GDP per capita may be stark, the actual amount of money is a pittance relative to the European economy. The Irish economy is less than 2% of the EU total. 100 billion EUR of GDP growth in Ireland is not the cause of stagnation in economies that are 10x it's size.

The problem facing other European economies is not that large amounts of actual economic activity is moving to Ireland, it's that Ireland's tax rules let it suck out the tax revenue from work, production and sales that occur across Europe. Ireland isn't getting a £1bn new Google office - London is - but the UK will see no corporate tax revenue from the products those people develop.
Why would it be a joke?

We've had compilers that compile from newer JS syntax to older JS syntax for years (not to mention all the compilers that compile from another language into JS). Traceur was the first reasonably well-known one I remember hearing about, then Babel came out and took over the ecosystem.

Devs want to be able to use the latest JS syntax, but also have to target older browsers. Compiling new syntax to equivalent older syntax is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

Effectively all JS build tools have been written in JS, but this looks like an attempt to recreate some of that functionality in Rust.

I'm curious how much of an actual perf difference there is in practice, given that Babel is usually just one part of the build pipeline.
I have blood relatives (not family) into this crap. Both the homeschooling and the fundamentalism. They "protect" their children from everything outside of their narrow worldviews, science being a chief villain. It's an incredible disservice to the kids.

Isn’t this common sense though? How else would you re-write a complex, legacy system? But then again, I feel the same way about all virtues Martin Fowler extols.

It's actually getting worse in some ways. We've tracked industrial control systems connected to the Internet for nearly 10 years now and the number of them has only ever increased. We're seeing a 10% YoY growth in exposure for ICS devices despite news coverage, security research etc.
You seem resistant to the idea of pair programming. I'm assuming you've done very little of it in your impressive career. As a fellow software engineer, I'm surprised you would be so resistant to something you have so little experience in. I'm not trying to convince you to pair program, I'm trying to convince you to read up on it and find out why others think it's great. 'Others' including some very skilled software engineers like Kent Beck. But from his own mouth, "pair programming works best with a large uncertain search space of problems and solutions. the closer to a solved problem, the less it helps" https://twitter.com/kentbeck/status/253532726714580992?lang=...
Yes, you're right, but this is something the moderators of the subreddit decide, not the admins of reddit.

That is precisely the problem with the current landscape for online businesses. Nearly every step of the way there is a single entity that you need to work with, or you are toast.

The biggest one lately comes down to marketplaces and payment processing. For example, if you are running a business selling a physical product, and you are banned from:

- Amazon

- PayPal

Your business is dead. It usually comes down to exposure and payment processing. Some businesses can gain exposure through a variety of channels. But most businesses get the majority of their customers through a small list of channels. That can be Facebook Ads, SEO, Forums, etc.

If you wake up one day and Google de-lists you from organic search, and the majority of your traffic was from SEO, you're dead. You can try refocusing and investing in other channels, but the majority of your potential new customers probably use one or two channels to find your service. So unless you are the only person offering said service, they'll just go to a competitor.

These companies like Amazon, Google, Paypal, Facebook, Apple have become gatekeepers. Try and do any type of e-commerce without using the above services. Good luck buddy!

Many businesses boil down to 1-3 of the above. Losing access to one can be all it takes to go from a highly successful company to a doomed company. And these services will ban you on ToS violations, without ever explaining what part of the ToS you violated. The implication from such a ban is that your business, your livelihood, your life's pursuit is instantly crippled or dead. The implication to them is nothing.
I don't think it cancels database queries.
Your link is in reference to the state of the air reports. Which seem to collect data in 3 year periods. Looking at the most current report vs. the previous one Pittsburgh is (slightly) worse for particulates, going from 12.6 ug/m^3 to 12.8. The city also fell from 17th worst to 10th worst for fine particles[1].

Between the reports, it was the only county in PA to see an increase in unhealthy days for fine particle pollution[1]

25% of days in 2019 have been unsafe for people with asthma in the city[2]. Obviously the coke fire is a large part of that. Which by the accounts I've read at the least took their sweet time warning the public about the scale and type of pollutants that were released.

Obviously the city is not yet at 1970's level. I've spent some time on the rivers, and indicator species once lost have returned and are still there.

Your own link however contains the quote(from before the coke plant fire)

"Of all counties in the state, only Allegheny experienced an increase in the frequency of unhealthy days for particulate pollution, 6 to 8.5 — the highest in any county east of Utah."

For context with the neighbor, this is while the well ~200 yards from his house was spraying mist. From the last time I was at my parents' house it seemed to do that for about 10 minutes every 4 hours or so. It makes the air smell like old cabbage and is hard to schedule around. The whole street has shared their concerns with one another.

I love the place, and farms certainly add their own pollutants to the air and water, but the status of the air in Pittsburgh is pretty canonically "not good".

It isn't just young children at risk. Some fraction of the people who were immunized are still at risk of catching the disease.

Getting an immunization doesn't guarantee immunity. There is a fundamental trade-off at play: make the immunization shot too strong and more people get harmed; make it too weak and fewer people actually get immunity.

The funny thing about the anti-vax crowd is they have opted to turn the dial to the maximum, and most dangerous, setting: use a full strength virus in order to gain future immunity.

It’s a good blue collar job that pays well because the schedule really sucks and it’s hard to plan your life.

I find it funny that the focus is on the_donald. I use reddit a lot and there are numerous other subreddits that have pulled similar things and they've existed long before the_Donald became a thing. SRS being one of them.

Anti-vaccination isn't exclusively an American phenomenon. It just seems like it because most commenters would be Americans or foreigners who live in bubbles. I remember in high school in Australia about a decade ago, there was one kid who was said innoculations were akin to "injecting garbage into your bloodstream".

I also frequently give blood in Australia and there are also more and more warnings about measles and stuff (interestingly regarding neighbourhoods that tend to vote very progressive).

Anecdotal evidence, however!

My mom works at a startup that was acquired by a big bank. She's a PL/SQL dev, and a majority of their business logic is implemented in PL/SQL on Oracle. After the acquisition, the new bank execs decided to make a new initiative to rewrite the entire thing with "modern" technology. Lots of talk about MongoDB and microservices.

After one year, and lots of revelations about how much of the business actually is implemented in PL/SQL, they have yet to even port one small part of the system to the new stack. It's becoming clear how little they actually understand about the requirements of the software, and why a system like Oracle was chosen in the first place.

I'm also very confused about why people do this.
When Node Js is taught people often teach Express framework. If someone teaches AdonisJs, it will have similar effect on audience as mentioned above.

Actually, alternative app stores can make use of that as well. The installer app needs to be installed as a system app with proper permissions, and it will them be able to background install apps on demand just like Google play does. The F-Droid Privileged Extension[0] does just that. While you need to be rooted to add/register such apps, that's not a problem for device manufacturers.

Benefits I Care About in 2019
when you see the flash its too late to avoid the gamma ray xray and neutron blast that happens [lets call it Rad dosage for now]. The only thing that can be done about that is to know ahead of time that incoming ordinance is on its way and put the greatest series of high density material between you and a direct line of transit to the centre of the detonation. Next comes the thermal blast and the [latent] acoustic shock/pressure wave. this is where depending on yield of the munitions, you want to be in a very sturdy shelter, or perhaps out in the open to make the suffering very short lived. I think one of the most famous ground zero survivors was a file clerk that had gone to a basement to retrieve some reams of documents.

a long story about it all is in here:

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_a...]

this survivor was underground, and surrounded by a tightly packed library of documents btween themself and an >ATOMIC< blast.
you may duck and cover and avoid shrapnel but RAD dosage espescially from neutrons is something else. neutrons interact very weakly if at all via charge as they are neutral [but do oscillate type] neutrons do have a small amount of mass, they dont seem to interact strongly in a gravitational sense but the extreme velocity of the neutron flux creates a substantial momentum and plays billiards with the nucleii of your body and surrounding materials, like a subatomic shotgun all over you.

Astrology does take the Earth's precession into account; as the vernal equinox precesses from one zodiac constellation to another every 2150 years, it becomes a different age.

For what amounts to ~80 hours of entertainment if I only play 2 AAA titles per year.
