Pure JS obviously has its uses but I am assuming every professional values productivity which one can't often obtain just by knowing JS itself. JS sometimes feels like assembly, you just don't want to touch it, that's why things like TypeScript exist, for example.

Also, saying an abstraction is useless without knowing the language is similar to saying you can't drive a car without knowing how the timing belt or crankshaft works - most people do fine without either. I'm not dismissing the value of JS fluency, just suggesting that it might be unnecessary and a more practical approach can be taken.

I’ve heard that toptal (https://www.toptal.com/) is a good place to start, because you can get paid decently and you get in touch with serious employers.

I don’t have experience with them nor am I affiliated to them, so to take with a grain of salt.
I would say that anarchy, rather than capitalism, is biased in that way. I would not expect anarcho-capitalism to do any better or any worse than anarcho-communism.

Reason being, some rules just don’t make sense unless you have a deep understanding of the part of the world they interact with; and if you are free to flout those rules, it can be very tempting when you have no salient examples of the consequences of breaking them.

Lead was added to gasoline for improved performance, not to cause systemic increases in violence after 30 years of widespread use; CFCs were chosen because of their low toxicity, reactivity and flammability, not to catalytically destroy the ozone layer; antibiotics are used by meat farmers to increase growth rate and allow more intensive farming, not to trigger the evolution of MRSA. There are almost certainly other things which I could not even describe accurately that follow the same pattern.

I have no idea how to protect against disasters that only experts can comprehend without also allowing obsolete ideologies and standards organisations to crystallise against progress. But then, I’m only superficially familiar with political philosophy — I was about 30 when I learned of Chesterton’s Fence.

I like to think about the 4th quadrant of the known-unknown punnet square: the unknown Knowns, things definitively implied by what you already know but haven't realized yet. Latent knowledge like that is often fun to play with, especially with students, getting them to realize they understand more than they think they do.

I heard India has been banning a lot of Chinese sites, which makes sense, since India and China have been fighting. It is normal to restrict trade with your enemies.

But what other motivations are there for India to ban things? Is there general censorship or something?
"It should only take you 2 or 3 hours".

Estimates are almost always under.

As you point out the most basic project setup takes time. And I am working on a home laptop, not my work machine, so I don't have everything installed in the same way as I do for a work setup (that's usually at least a days work in itself on a new work machine).

Also it is not uncommon to find some strange issue that will take a couple of hours to fix if you are unfamiliar with it.

> How does this go together with the claim that "Remdesivir is patented by California-based Gilead"?

India does not recognize patents on medicine.

See, for example: India: Patents And The Indian Pharmaceutical Industry [1]

> With regard to pharmaceuticals, in the case of substances intended for use or capable of being used as food, drugs or medicines or substances produced by chemical processes, patents are granted only for the processes of manufacture of such substances and not for the substances themselves. Hence, pharmaceutical products are currently not granted patent protection under Indian law.

(And note that the "process of manufacture of such substances" is in practice interpreted so tightly that it covers very little.)

They basically gave away licenses to generics manufacturers- gilead has been very reasonable.

No, it's not hard to understand, but that doesn't do you any favours.

I'm not saying that someone needs to be so desperate to work somewhere (that would probably be bad), but if a candidate can't express why they have an interest in a particular role then that's of note, especially if I'm comparing to someone who can. Pretty much everyone wants to exchange their time and knowledge for money, but they could do that anywhere, so why here?

> I just don't see how this is more ergonomic than Jetbrains where any file - not just 'open' ones - is readily available with all sorts of search methods with a single shortcut.

I would guess the difference is that I use a separate terminal window for all of that stuff. I have my desktop split into three main workspaces. The first has my terminal, the second my browser, the third my editor. I have two more workspaces just in case, but they rarely get used. I have shortcuts set up to hop between workspaces using `<super><workspace number>`.

If I want to track through where something is used or defined, `git grep` usually gets me what I want. From there, if there is a file I want to look at, I use my shortcut `go <filename>` to open it. This used to be an alias for `gnome-open`, but a couple years ago they switched it to `xdg-open` . It opens the file with whatever program would open it when opening it from the file browser, which for any text file is my vim instance over in workspace 3.

I don't pay much attention to which files are open or not. Usually I build up a working set of files I care about pretty quickly and then I can hop between them from within vim. Otherwise I can easily go back over to my terminal and open it by name directly.

It may not be for you, but it's far from a nightmare in my experience.
You should check out Qubes OS. https://www.qubes-os.org/

All applications run inside a VM, and you set up different VMs for different tasks. The windows are all composited onto one seamless desktop environment, with the colour of the window decorations telling you which VM it's in. You can copy and paste between the VMs with a special keyboard shortcut, and you can manually copy files between them as well, but otherwise they have no access to each other.

If you open some ransomware in one VM, it can't touch (or read, or know of the existence of) any of the data in other VMs.
The ClearCase SCM does something similar - it has the notion of "derived objects" and "audited builds".

You can run an audited build command under a special ClearCase wrapper and it will look at the versions of the elements used in the build - if that build has already occurred with the same input elements before, even if in a different view, it can "wink in" the derived object result - that is, it can cause that previous build to be visible in your current view. This can save a lot of time when you're building a large codebase.
Oh definitely. We've never lived in an ideal anything ;-). Yet much of the assumptions about how capitalism will allocate resources efficiently rest on exactly the kind of properties we don't follow and are following increasingly poorly over the past decades. (Oh, I see I used the word "anymore" above. Well, that doesn't make sense, indeed).

As to the ideology: I blame the cold war for that; that shifted the debate firmly towards capitalism as an article of national identity, and the "more" the better (whatever that even means). To this day it's still common to hear the response that any criticism of capitalism is akin to communism - i.e. we're still identifying ourselves with this myth, even though communism (to the extent that that mystical utopia ever existed) has been defeated. And once something is a form of patriotic self-affirmation, it's too much to expect any kind of pragmatic, reasonable tuning to take place in politics (not that that's happening in politics currently regardless of topic, but I think that's a different matter).

The optics of this are terrible and the US should be working with other countries. But my guess is even if the US worked with Europe on distribution >90% of it would go to the US anyway. The need stateside is exponentially greater.

My guess is that Gilead played Trump and will now backtrack to make a licensing deal so that the EU can produce its own at a lower price.

There’s nothing stopping Gilead from allowing more licensing now that it has squeezed all it can from its best customer.

There's a new edition of the O'Reilly doorstop "Javascript: The Definitive Guide". I've learned a lot from it and started to use modules, promises and dropped all my horrible old 90s habits.

It reads really well, explains the modern bits as the right way of programming, but also puts the crusty, abandoned bits into the right perspective (if you're looking at old code I guess).

It's not at all a book for new programmers, but for someone who knows Ruby well, it's a great, concise read.

Interestingly, Gilead apparently has a standing agreement with Europe to deliver remdesivir. It should be interesting to see how this agreement can be fulfilled if 100% of all doses have already been sold to the U.S.

Currenly, remdesivir is not approved for the treatment of COVID-10 in the EU, but a decision along these lines is expected this week.
This is hugely interesting.

Tangentially: I was told once the reason spiral staircases go the other way (in castles usually) is that when running upstairs with a sword you want to be able to use your right hand to kill anyone coming down the stairs.

Hey you don't like it. Just become a doctor and fix yourself. Healthcare isn't a right.

Hey you don't like it. Just get you own water, filter it, and clean it. Clean water isn't a right.

Is this really the answer?
I've heard the opposite, that the pay was low and the expectations were high, as in that they don't respect your off time and expect you to be on-call.
Those are the numbers that always make one wonder. If you look at margins of pharma companies, you see the potential for price improvement: from 2% to about 20%.

And this is not what anyone of the people complaining are looking for. That would make somewhat optimistically make Remdesivir $350 per vial, and that pricing would cause ... exactly the same outrage.

The actual issue is "too many" medicines. More and more effective and specialized medicine. But, of course, that you can just sidestep as an individual (you'll have to have your doctor on board, but that may be doable). It boils down to the same thing: if you're willing to forego the most expensive treatments and best possible outcomes you can avoid a lot of the financial problem. There's just zero willingness to do that.

Best possible treatments, no matter the human effort required to do that, at zero cost to anyone (not carried by the actual patients, not collectively carried by insurance, not carried by government, not by church, institutions or charitable giving). And we're not willing to give anywhere (for instance, cheaper drug trials, something the government could simply decide to provide at frankly minimal costs). This is not happening.

There just doesn't seem to be any solution here that I can see.
The same thing I value in any other site: interesting content.

You should fear your local government most, of course, but it does not follow that given the choice you should pick foreign solutions, quite the contrary.

As a citizen you have rights guaranteed by the law in your own country. That's the very definition of citizenship. As a citizen you have leverage over your government, even if small, because you can organize yourself with others, e.g. in class action lawsuits, you can vote, you can convince others to vote, etc. Foreign governments and companies couldn't give a shit about your rights, the only rights you have are those defined weakly by trade agreements.

Not only that but data can be traded or leaked. A foreign company thousands of miles away, collecting data about you, could always leak that data to your local organized crime organizations.

N.B. I know that big companies like Xiaomi also have a presence in the US. With a big enough presence, the US government could coerce them just as easily, so if you fear the US government, it's a double whammy.

---

So this is a non sequitur. Even if you fear the US government, as a US citizen, you should either pick US solutions, or solutions from countries that have a culture and laws for preserving privacy, such as Switzerland or Germany.

Frankly as a US citizen picking products and services from a country with disregard for basic human rights, because you don't trust the US, is just stupid.
