Stop lying.
All you links you provided do not contains any factual information. Just some unjustified claims.

Do you have a proof that Belarus ignored numerous safety recommendations by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and other parties. If you check IAEA site you would notice that Belarus fulfilled most of their recommendations.

About dropping the 330 ton reactor vessel.That reactor vessel was changed and construction was delayed because of it.

About so called safety issues.
First of all - there is IAEA and other organisations that checks nuclear plant safety.
Lithuanian Ministry of International affairs does not have competency or knowledge to analyse nuclear plant safety. In fact, they do not provide and reliable information, just political claims.

How would you make cryptocurrency more efficient?

My knowledge of this technology isn’t very deep. From my understanding, mining is essential to facilitate transactions, which in turn makes cryptocurrency a currency. Mining needs computing power, which needs energy. More energy translates to more rewards, which incentivises parties to keep mining and keep the network running. Even if you make the underlying calculations more energy efficient, miners are still incentivised to spend more energy to capture more of the reward(?).
I agree with your points on appreciating yourself and better sleep.

As for this seeming like cheap advice, keep in mind that A) many people have not heard it yet, and B) sometimes a new twist on an older concept drives the point home.

I like to put a space following the // if it's written text comments, but no space if it is commented-out code.

I think the space looks nicer for text comments, but when I select a block of code and hit Ctrl+/ to comment it out, my IDE does not add a space. So it works out very conveniently for me.
FWIW, This project was one that I came in at the deployment stage, and the original requirements were for something about 10x smaller. Budget Gone. Shit happens.

There were many places where the right choices weren't made for this, and could have been made better. But even with optimizations in the schema speeding things up by a factor of 3, we would have been looking at something that still didn't hit the performance needs. I'm guessing that to do the reorg on the full DB, we would be looking at O(week). Effective indexes are great, but when one optimized index is tens of GB and takes a day to create, you start to look elsewhere.

Building Custom Control Planes Using Crossplane
A lot of IT contracting firms in the UK have in recent years had to drastically change their practices exactly because ensuring a contract does not create a relationship that would be deemed to be an employment relationship has gotten progressively harder, exactly because it was being massively abused, so this is a very poor argument in the UK.

The lack of ability to negotiate prices - be it with a middleman or the actual customer - is one of several tests to that points strongly towards an employee relationship, whether you're a driver or an IT contractor.

I'll note that I see you say elsewhere you're an IT contractor. If you're an IT contractor in the UK, I presume you've had to answer questions about IR35. If you haven't, then you really should have a discussion about IR35 with your accountant, because get that wrong and you risk facing a massive tax bill.
Realistically people don’t do that. Last touch of any transaction gets all the blame.
A lot of places used "shelter-in-place", and officially over here it's still "stay-at-home". The colloquial term having switched so totally to "lockdown" is another symptom of people caring for it less and less.
I don't expect it to get traction.

• C is valued for being super portable and compatible with every platform, including legacy ones, but this applies to specifically C89 or C90, and nothing else. As soon as you embrace new features, it's not your universal C any more. You're going to need newer compilers, new tooling, and that's almost like starting with a new language.

• C users have mostly self-selected themselves to like C the way it is: a small, flexible, zero-overhead language that isn't C++. Addition of checked containers, generics, and restrictions on pointer arithmetic, etc. make checked C not feel like C any more.

• Checked C still needs refactoring of the code. For large established codebases this is still a lot of work, and still a risk of introducing new bugs. It's very tempting to settle on just running one more analyzer, sanitizer or fuzzer instead.

And in the end with all this effort, back-compat break, whole-codebase refactoring you're still left with the old C, with headers and include paths, sloppy macros, ancient stdlib, painful dependency management, etc.

If you're going to rewrite C incrementally to a more complex dialect, and require a newer non-standard compiler for it, you may as well run c2rust on it first.
There are so any things wrong with Facebook, but them not paying news sites for the privilege of sending traffic their way is not one of them. We desperately need good legislation around social media, and I fear that bad legislation like this, written by newspaper lobbyists, is going to let politicians get away with saying "look, I did something" and call it a day.
1. They kind of can. They could just only accept long rides or maybe higher paying rides like 2x at the end of a sporting event.

2. Eh kind of. You could also look at it as Uber simply doesn’t negotiate their contract. It’s like a company hiring a freeelancer and just not negotiating.

3. If a company called you up and you said yes once and then no the next 10 times I bet they’d stop calling and you’d be penalized. They might not even have an Excel sheet with notes or a rating.
It most definitely is there business practice, same thing happened to us.

Can somebody explain to me how NN is used in Stockfish? I always assumed that some heuristic rules are used by Stockfish to evaluate the position, and I think this was actually the case not that long ago. So, does this mean heuristics are now being completely replaced by NN evaluations in Stockfish, all the prior work being completely thrown away?

In fact, isn't the position evaluation pretty much the only thing that makes Stockfish different from Leela, the rest being just some tweaks on top of traversing the decision tree? And if it now seems that NN is better at this after all, what is the purpose of having these 2 engines at all, shouldn't all the future work just be moving over to Leela?

I don't understand what do you mean. Does the middleman have to accept whatever I say, or how does this negotiation work? Either we agree, or we don't, I don't see any difference between my IT contracting negotiation and using Uber. One would say that employment is hourly/daily/monthly/yearly based payment - so IT contracting would fall into that, but I don't see how Uber's per-ride rating would fit there. That the price is set by the middleman doesn't mean there isn't negotiation - the contractor can simply disagree, as opposed to an employee who has to do the assigned work and isn't paid based on its completion.

I'm an IT contractor in the UK, but not an UK resident nor citizen; my accountant said IR35 doesn't apply to me then.

The news media corps are getting more desperate trying to push this narrative that tech companies have to pay them to advertise their articles.

With the public trust for media companies at all time low, this certainly isn’t helping.
Out of curiosity, where are you planning to go? I am planning to leave the UK too and would like to know some options. So far my plan is to end up somewhere in Eastern Europe.

The approach OP described was new for me. What I got from the article was that a statistical tool allows for fairly accurate estimates without the need to "[spend] hours talking with various people for input". Further, it is not a certainty that an elaborate exploration of the proposed changes with various stakeholders will address potential blindspots or simply unexpected events (e.g. some infra burning). If OP is corrent, the statistical estimate has all these factors baked into it and will only get better over time.

This is the value of the approach, imo. Takes the 'subjective' element out of the picture. [p.s. And also, it 'scales' with project size, likely O(1). The 'ask everyone involved' approach is at best O(N)'.]

Your point regarding the standard deviation is quite fair but doesn't indicate a failure of the approach: the approach would be broken if they ever exceed the sd, so it is still a nice, definite, limit to the task completion timeline. Also I assume that as more data is gathered, the sd will shrink.

I'm surprised that he doesn't mention the Monorepo + Microservice approach. I've found that most of the pain, confusion and bugs when dealing with microservice architectures has to do with the basic overhead of repo management, not the actual microservices themselves.

If you have a monorepo, and you make a change to a schema (backwards compatible or not, intentional or not), it's a lot easier to catch that quickly with a test rather than having a build pipeline pull in dozens of repos to do integration tests.
The uproar is caused by Facebook's (botched) removal of news sites. Are all those people using Facebook as their sole information source? Then yes, they will be affected. If not, then whatever. As for myself I read the Guardian anyway in their own app, same for my other news sources, so if Facebook decided to do the same in my country, I wouldn't even notice - and neither my publishers.
Yep, and this is why Facebook was so desperate to cut off Australians from the news. Pure self interest, they know that their reckoning is coming and they were trying to head it off at the pass.
"passing off" is a common law tort. If there's confusion, it could well fall under that.

There's also a very large body of trademark specific law which may specifically address this.

> Last touch of any transaction gets all the blame.

That's exactly my point - and your last touch is the Deliveroo worker. So take it up with them. They can then take it up with the restaurant if it was the restaurant's fault, but that's their job as the reseller.

> Well you can't. And you won't. Life's not fair and there's literally nothing you can do about it right now.

The only reason we can't is because people like you think we can't and take the status quo as a god given immutable system which is inherently "right". There are plenty of things to be done to reduce, instead of increase, inequalities
Delusions of grandeur, scapegoating, catastrophization, odd phrases, and lack of ownership.

> Then we got multi-return error objects, maybes, panics [...] that fail to understand the basic premises of errors:

Not sure how that's true for Rust. Functions that can fail, return a Result, that contains either a value or an error. If you want to use the value, you have to either explicitly check which one is it (you can handle or ignore the error at this point), or quickly access it by unwrapping the Result, which will crash (panic) the program on error.
The main reason for the outrage is that a whole lot of content that is not (or at least is not intended to be) covered by the legislation was also removed by Facebook, apparently to make a point, but done in a way that was unfair at best and dangerous at worst.

Such content included public health and safety information (government/emergency services advice re. the pandemic and bushfires), though Facebook later claimed this was a mistake and restored it (I don't know details of exactly what was removed and what has been restored).

It also included other content platforms - i.e., several major news/comment sites, satirical news sites, weather/climate info sites, retail sites, a major independent restaurant/cafe review site, and info services for minority communities like indigenous groups. I think most of these platforms would have attained little-to-no benefit from the new laws, so they are just "collateral damage", losing traffic and revenue over a law they likely didn't support and had little to gain from.

It seems highly capricious on Facebook's part, and a terrible PR move, given that most Australians probably didn't support the laws, at least not very strongly, but in a climate where people are already uncomfortable with how much power the major internet platforms have, this "show of strength" against a country's elected government and populace is alarming.
And you are... opposed to virtual people doinking?
I think the issue is that in many cases it does not bring traffic to the news outlet : people read the title/summary which is shown by google/Facebook, and don't click on the link.

News outlet therefore assume that it's unfair, since they don't get the corresponding advertising revenues, and Facebook does instead.
> but $60k, which is most people will be making, is probably not.

People aren't going to have much of a choice soon. It'll be that or live a miserable life by way of having little-to-no money. Or I guess the third option of whine constantly on the Internet, but that's already happening.
If you think of microservices as a modularization tool - a way to put reusable code in one place and call it from other places - then you are missing the point. Microservices don’t help solve DRY code problems.

Monoliths aren’t merely monolithic in terms of having a monolithic set of addressable functionality; they are also monolithic in terms of how they access resources, how they take dependencies, how they are built, tested and deployed, how they employ scarce hardware, and how they crash.

Microservices help solve problems that linkers fundamentally struggle with. Things like different parts of code wanting to use different versions of a dependency. Things like different parts of the codebase wanting to use different linking strategies.

Adding in network hops is a cost, true. But monoliths have costs too: resource contention; build and deploy times; version locking

Also, not all monolithic architectures are equal. If you’re talking about a monolithic web app with a big RDBMS behind it, that is likely going to have very different problems than a monolithic job-processing app with a big queue-based backend.
Being behind Germany is no achievement in the grand scheme either, because we need much more wind turbines but legislation does try to prevent them.

> The law of passing off prevents one trader from misrepresenting goods or services as being the goods and services of another, and also prevents a trader from holding out his or her goods or services as having some association or connection with another when this is not true.

But the food isn't being misrepresented! It is the food of the restaurant. Passing off means pretending the product is something it isn't. That isn't what is happening here at all.

You and a few others seem to be under some kind of mistaken understanding that the food is 'fake' or from a fraudulent dark kitchen not actually associated with the restaurant? That's not the case. It's the actual real food from the actual restaurant, resold.

There's no way for facebook to know in advance if a link is to a new agency or not, and in fact the law doesn't even specify news agencies.

I can answer this a bit - I maintain Yarn, a JS package manager. While nowhere near Curl, it does have a fairly significant user base - at least a few million devs, from what I understand. For all this work, I received exactly two emails thanking me for my work during the past four years.

I also happen to maintain a little "Secret Santa" website, hosted on a GitHub page. Nothing too fancy, just a static app that lets you manage a Secret Santa without creating accounts. Well, every year, I receive 3-4 emails thanking me for creating it, which is even more surprising considering they often come from people that aren't from the tech world at all.

Perhaps for my happiness I should invest more in this side project than in a package manager used across the globe :)
