It's a cautious way to start working with a new tool. It's AWS, but there will still be bugs, especially for people with large or unusual deployments. You could use the tool to generate CloudFormation configs and then put them through a PR process. After six months of this with no bogus configs generated by the tool, you might decide you're on a well-paved road and make it part of your CI/CD pipeline.
> “during this challenging time we heard from many Airbnb guests who were interested in supporting and reconnecting with past hosts.”

I call BS. No way they implemented this feature because people wanted to give money to past hosts.
I remember going to an apprenticeship site from the federal government and searching out of curiosity. A lot of what I saw listed on there, weren't even really apprenticeships, but entry level jobs requiring advanced education, etc.

I just took the test on enchroma's website[1] (take it with a grain of salt for obvious reasons) but it seems to describe accurately what I have suspected my whole life.

The result for me was: DEUTAN with MODERATE severity

The description they provide for this type of color blindness fits exactly with my life experience.

>"WHAT IS DEUTAN COLOR BLINDNESS?

Deutan color blindness (also known as deuteranomaly) is a type of red-green color blindness in which the green cones in the eye detect too much red light and not enough green light.

As a result, red, yellow, green, and brown can appear similar, especially in low light. It may also be difficult to tell the difference between blues and purples, or pinks and grays."

Rural isn't a simple calculation of area divided by population. It's based on the density of the population. People are not evenly distributed over Alaska or Wyoming, the majority live in urban settings around cities with the majority of the land in those states being uninhabited.

60% or more of the population in Alaska and Wyoming live in an urban setting. In Texas it's over 80% and in California it's over 90%.

Is anyone actually seriously suggesting that the decision itself is an act of sacrifice? Surely it's kind of super obvious that the sacrifices are in raising the children, not in deciding to have them?

> Given unequal societies, economic growth ... serve to increase inequality

that's not true. Especially if you view it from the angle of absolute poverty.

I wouldn't care that Bezos has another bazillion dollars due to economic growth - because with said growth comes more economic opportunities for the poor. Where once they had no economic value, there could be from being an amazon deliverer.

Where once there was no economic value as a subsistence farmer, the outsourcing of labour has generated economic value for underdeveloped nations. SO much so that China is now threatening the hegemony of the USA!

Economic growth lifts all.

a, b = b, a + b
US developers don't have to live in those areas either, to still earn significantly more than EU developers earn.
Being able to use algorithms and data structures, which what this article mostly talks about, is rather a different thing from knowing how to implement them, which is what interviews go after.

That said, the only algorithm that I'm convinced that every single programmer needs to know by heart is state machines. Because using them can often save you a lot of code and complexity. And because you really have to know them well to recognize spots where they would be useful. And because using an off-the-shelf library to implement them is, for most use cases, more complicated, more time-consuming to implement, and less readable than a little light hard-coding.
> come up with simple ones on your own, like a greedy one.

Greedy alogrithms are simple to come up with in an interview, Yes. But they are often wrong and even if they are right there is no way to know that, unless you construct a mathematical proof.

I would highly advice not using greedy in an interview since coming up with a solid proof in 15 mins is not really possible in all but simple cases.
It actually doesn’t always. If Airbnb doesn’t support your local taxes system, you will have to submit a request for payment to your guest for more money. For instance in Hawaii until a few months ago, there was no way to add the 14% hotel tax to the listing. We had to put a note in the description that said they would be charged an extra 14% after booking. I think many hosts simple don’t charge/pay the hotel tax because of the friction it adds to the transaction. We could ad it in the nightly rate, but then a service fee will be paid on it from the guest and the host.
Then most would agree that misanthropes such as yourself should absolutely not have children and we all support your decision.
I'm not saying this is right, but I can imagine a few folk who probably have been going out or taking trips etc. and don't want to get tested because they fear their name being exposed somewhere with the public shaming to follow if they were to test positive.

Again, not saying it's right or that it's not selfish, but I can totally see that reasoning behind a large percentage of these folk refusing to get tested.
They've started to make changes, like changing their TLD from .gg to .com, and they removed the game store. They had a popup after a recent update describing the changes and why their doing it (to appeal to more than just gamers). I think that other than those bits of branding, it can be pretty gamer agnostic, though I haven't used it in a workplace to actually catch the inconsistencies.
It's a question of degree. I think the article is kinda hand-wringy, but not incorrect in the attention they're giving to orders of magnitude. You've got to remember that if a country like Spain halves in population, that's a colossal shift from A to B, to the extent that each decade will feel like a fairly major leap on its own. I don't think it'll be a death spiral, but it'll definitely absorb resources that otherwise could be directed to advancements, rather than preventing retrenchments. And that's assuming the rate of change doesn't cause nonlinear effects of its own.

Also, if Spain halves, it may well be that other countries shrink even further. You've also got to wonder about the distribution of old folk: some countries will end up with far more extreme distributions than others, but what I suspect we'll find is that, just as there's a quality of life level above which the reproduction rate decreases, there'll be a population level below which the quality of life decreases, so it'll self-correct.
Given the delay (~48+hrs) associated with getting test results, it should really go the other way— after a known exposure, you are treated as infected, the isolation and contact tracing process begins, and it's only after a negative test result that you're cleared.
Not from AWS, but what it sounds like you're asking for is better cohesion and more consistency between AWS products and services?

I've been an AWS customer for over 10 years, and have been asking them for this (on behalf of my enterprise customers). I'm always told "they're working on getting better" but they never really do.

Cloud formation features are inconsistent across products. Documentation is formatted and structured differently depending on the tool. The AWS web console is an ever changing grab-bag of new and old. Some products integrate well, other products feel like you're using an abandoned hack-week prototype.

Part of the reason that AWS is so great is how much it can do, and I think that's been made possible by the apparent level of autonomy the teams have. However, it's at the expense of the customer's experience.
They have anti-trust lawsuits pending in multiple countries that will also force this once they resolve. It's obviously monopoly bundling. Literally every other modern OS allows you to install apps from multiple sources, including Android.
Really it's about this type of discussion. Already with your 'but then' you are showing that you know your way around a program.

I'd still have you write the full thing out, but I'm guessing you'd do just fine.
But you have to balance that with the common aphorism that "we don't know our own neibhrous". We meet them when tennants' councils are held to discuss the koinoxrista[1], we bump into them on the stairs or the elevator, we bang on their doors to complain about the noise, perhaps- but other than that, a polykatoikia is not often a community, it's just a place where many people live their unconnected lives together with minimal contact with each other.

In principle, removing a ton of CO2 needs to be cheaper than the cost of adding a ton of CO2.

And it will be, at some point in the future; it’s not intended to compete with preventing CO2 emissions today. We need to start work on the technology now though, even if it’s not immediately scaleable.

The technology to remove excess CO2 from the atmosphere at scale will be required over the 21st Century to return the CO2 levels to pre-industrial levels, which our forecasts have priced in.

I didn't downvote you either. But, in addition to what quodlibetor wrote:

This is a good article from a high-profile author. The way you are criticizing it comes across as ignorant and narcissistic.

"This article reads as though the author hadn't shifted mindset from..."

You are claiming that the author is looking at the problem in the wrong way, and you came to that conclusion before even reading the entire post. It's okay to not be interested in a topic, but stating this in public does not add anything of substance to the discussion.

"I take this sort of comment as abusive of the reader"

This is just offensive, you're basically saying that the comment is stupid. It seems like you are looking for some validation of your intelligence, by the article or by the comment section here.
I eat quite a lot of red meat, ribeye when I can, ground beef. Also pork, some fish. I prefer beef with a bit of fat.

I am convinced that dietary fat and cholesterol are not the problem as we have been told for decades.

My blood work is excellent. In fact, my doctor is on board with what I am doing but she also doesn’t quite know what to make of it. I think she still has some cognitive dissonance with someone eating the way I do and seeing the results that, per her training, should not be happening.

I also used to take 50mg of Losartan for blood pressure but I no longer need it.
Yeah - it is a pain trying to search for technical support for overloaded terms. Matrix is an especially bad one given the mathematical terms. I think Riot was a terrible choice for a messenger name, especially for an encrypted one (doing the work of politicians to demonize it for them) but it would still be easier to search for because preciously there weren't IT questions about riots.
Add to that the fact that typing ~ and ` is impossible with the standard it layout (on X11 you can using platform-specific extra key combinations, such as `AltGr` + `+` if I recall correctly, while on Windows you must use ALT codes). So pleasant...

Also, random rant, the IT keyboard layout is moronic because on most platforms inputting accented uppercase letters is not possible in any way. Ironically, 'c with cedilla', section sign `§`, degree sign and the now unused pound sign are present on every key and easily typed using shift.

I've been arguing since the dawn of time that "US with dead keys" is a vastly better keyboard layout for Italian than the Italian one, and that's the one I use (more correctly, I use US International with AltGr keys due to the fact I type accented letters less frequently than I type single quotes or backticks).

I sometimes suspect that everything is really just a sorting problem.

For example, here is a shell script that takes an input file consisting of lines of the form

X Y

where X and Y are integers representing the X and Y coordinates of live cells in a Conway's Life grid, and outputs the next generation in the same format. It runs in O(n log n) where n is the number of live cells, and it is really just sorting.

> alive.$$
while read cells
do
echo $cells >> alive.$$
set x $cells
x=$2
y=$3
echo $x $((y-1))
echo $x $((y+1))
echo $((x-1)) $((y-1))
echo $((x-1)) $y
echo $((x-1)) $((y+1))
echo $((x+1)) $((y-1))
echo $((x+1)) $y
echo $((x+1)) $((y+1))
done | sort | uniq -c > neighbors.$$
grep '^ *3' < neighbors.$$ | sed -e 's/^ *[0-9].//'
grep '^ *2' < neighbors.$$ | sed -e 's/^ *[0-9].//' > has2.$$
sort alive.$$ -o alive.$$
comm -12 has2.$$ alive.$$
rm has2.$$ neighbors.$$ alive.$$

The NHS prescribe the ketogenic diet for some forms of epilepsy. That is, the UKs national health service prescribes keto as a treatment. And so the answer to the question posed by the OP "Can an extreme low carb diet be used as medicine?" is clearly Yes.

You get a diet plan, support, specialist foods and ingredients, ketone testing kits, etc, all on prescription.

There has been proper research into Keto as a treatment for some forms of epilepsy, and in some cases it performs as well as the best AEDs. See https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25524846/ and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16146451/

same old argument that marx has - that capital ownership (and by extension, capitalism) is the cause for such inequality.

I personally don't think all inequality is the same, and inequality is what drives people. There's a reason why communism, and their strive for equality, has so far failed as a form of governance, and as a form of market economy.

That's kind of my point. Microsoft didn't hold exclusive control over operating systems nor internet browsers, but got called a monopoly in those markets anyway, despite available alternatives. Yes, there was more to it than just that. They merely had a lot of control in the market and was doing shady things.
Ah yeah, I had a marketing/sales friend who did that the other way around: he made nice mock-ups, he even built powerpoint presentations that seemed to show the UIs actually working; he made credible ads and sales documentation with it, and he sold countless non-existing snake oil products this way ("available soon!").

As he simply was the marketing/sales guy, in case he found himself cornered he could always pretend that the failure was on the dev/technical side... "see with the support".

He could also successfully sell himself this way: once a billionaire proposed him to be the sales director of some company. He set the meeting at 7AM at the Ritz bar, and got the job (not for long : he had negotiated to keep the perks when leaving anyway).
If learning is the goal, I highly recommend taking notes into a flash card system (I use and recommend Anki). Then review your flash cards daily.

You can always refer to the flash cards like regular notes, but by memorizing the information instead of just jotting it down you greatly increase the speed at which you learn new things.

What’s even uncharitable about that? I think a lot of Americans would agree with you.

I for one will openly admit that I will accept X risk of death rather than Y affront to freedom. Of course, it depends on the magnitudes of X and Y.

(On the other hand, claiming that this is why the US is currently the hotspot seems to be cherry-picking data: the first hotspot was China and the second was southwestern Europe, all places with very different cultures. But, even if we accept your hypothesis that the US has more cases because Americans are culturally more willing to accept a risk of death in exchange for more freedom than Chinese, French, Spanish or Italian people are, there’s nothing _wrong_ with that).
