> Real yields of reserve currency sovereign bonds are negative and the lowest ever. Real yields of cash are even worse though not as negative as they were in the 1930-45 and 1915-20 great monetization periods.

This I cannot comprehend. Can someone explain to me how holding cash yields less than holding a bond at negative rates that will return me less cash?
> Last I heard they hadn't confirmed the vaccines contributed to sterilizing immunity anyways, so for all we know currently there's no strong link that vaccines are going to prevent transmission, but rather will mitigate symptom development and disease severity; so again, I don't see the point even at the resolution of populations.

This is because doctors are consistently silly about absence of evidence vs. evidence of absence. It's reasonable to assume that a vaccine will provide sterilizing immunity because they all do; that's what vaccines are for.

Public health agencies will always assume the worst right up until they see enough evidence. They also think you should cook steaks well done, but you don't have to do that either.

I didn't pick the marriage ceremony my culture used. If it involved a hand over your heart I wouldn't have worried about it.

> Why would you do that for your country?

That specific gesture aside, perhaps because I cared about the ideals it represents and the words in the affirmation.

> It's nationalistic nonsense that has no place in a modern, democratic society.

No. Without some sort of bond to those around me why would I respect their views enough to allow a democracy? It's because we share some goals and ideals. If I thought you hated the things I loved about my country I might see you as an enemy, and vice versa, but if we see that we share our dreams we can survive not sharing any other opinions.
I’m not super knowledgeable on LLVM, but as far as I know while it did have at some point a VM runner, it is rather meant to abstract hardware for native compilation. The Java bytecode is much less specific. Also, LLVM IR is not really backward compatible, while Java bytecode is.

(By the way Graal has sulong which actually runs LLVM IR on top of the JVM)

I don't see why sweden suspending it makes any more difference than any other county. They're a non-corrupt first world country. I doubt they play favourites because its a domestic company.

Anyways, im not saying don't investigate, we should investigate all possible side effects. However so far it sounds more like a coincidence so im not worried. Healthy people get sick randomly sometimes when you're looking at groups of millions of people. Sometimes by chance it will happen near when they got the vaccine. Its important to keep perspective.

> I think we're going to see a worldwide disintegration of governments and then sort of a feudal anarchy - basically the Syrian Civil War, but spread across the globe.

Your perspective on this seems to be a bit U.S.-centric. No developed country in the world botched its national response to Covid-19 as badly as the United States did. In several countries — like Australia and New Zealand — public trust in government has grown as the public benefited greatly from its government’s world class results in handling the Covid pandemic.

Granted, it does seem that most people these days consider their own government to be at the very least incompetent. But I don’t get the sense countries like Australia have anywhere near the same level of anti-government resentment to contend with. It seems to me a good deal of the blame for the dysfunction of modern America falls on American culture.

> There's the climate crisis, which is the root cause of the migration crisis.

I’d think quality of life factors and economic opportunity would be the primary drivers for migration from the global south to North America and Western Europe. Am I misreading your take on this? It’s a bit of a leap to pin it all onto climate change.
I heard that squeezing "possibly related to climate change" somewhere in academic work increases chances of getting grant money nowadays, could it be it's the only reason why this phrase is there in this case?

Is this a fair comparison?

Typically emissions are grouped in three scopes.

- scope 1: direct emissions

- scope 2: emissions generated by suppliers

- scope 3: emissions that come from using the product.

Cannabis plantations consume a lot of electricity and will mainly result in Scope 2 emissions.

Coal mining will mainly result in Scope 3 emissions. This is a customer burning the goal.

More accurate title would be.

Colorodas legal cannabis farms have greater scope 1 + 2 emissions as coal mining.
I work at a large financial company and every day we have a ansible job to get CSV file that's >1GB and move it to our shared drive. It's very idiot way of moving files but there are tons of companies still using this approach.

I have written an interpreter and runtime environment that uses NLP in order to find the most probable program given what you have written, this means that you for example can write variable names with spaces, have spelling errors and so on.

Those are all very real and legit advantages, but they are also very tiny, and for a very small subset of usecases of the car - where it is parked for most of a month, and only used for a couple of days here and there, and only for short trips, in a very sunny country, that also has bad infrastructure in terms of garages and charging (otherwise you just plug it in and forget about it), and yet where you actually have a space in the sun to park it.

Yes, those are all useful things but you have to (as a manufacturer, at least) weigh them against all the costs of building this feature, making production more complex, deal with the returns/breakages, etc. etc. So like the parent comment said, the consensus seems to be "just not worth it".

Well, the vaccine was halted in Germany because the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut, which is not a political entity, had this to say:

"Compared to the status on 11 March 2021, additional cases (as of Monday, 15 March 2021) have now been reported in Germany. Analysing the new data status, the experts of the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut now see a striking accumulation of a special form of very rare cerebral vein thrombosis (sinus vein thrombosis) in connection with a deficiency of blood platelets (thrombocytopenia) and bleeding in temporal proximity to vaccinations with the COVID-19 vaccine AstraZeneca.

The data are being further analysed and evaluated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

Vaccinations with AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine in Germany will be suspended until the EMA's evaluation is complete. Today's decision affects both initial and follow-up vaccinations."

These things are not done lightly.
Venting may be the wrong word. Since what I tried to say is not Freud's catharsis. Let' me try to explain again:

Every emotion/trauma affects you and these effects manifest somehow. These effects are self-regulated via feedbacks like "I feel X", "I'm not feeling OK", "Hey, this makes me happy" or "Why do I feel like that", etc.

Ignoring an emotion's or secondary effect's presence removes the self regulation circuit hence, allows it to run amok. Since person trained him/herself to ignore these emotions or its manifestations with great effectiveness, wounds grow deeper while practitioner pretends it's OK.

At the last stage, person permanently ignores the problem and pointing to it results in violent responses from the affected person.

I've met with people these symptoms. All of them practiced or was practicing self-affirmation / self validation practices with minimal or no supervision.

Every practice, done mindlessly is dangerous. Including Zen, Yoga and others.

How I test OpenFaaS changes with Kubernetes
It's been over a decade since I've worked at a company with managers. However, it was common for the top programmers to make more money than their managers there.

Programming and managing are completely different jobs that accomplish different things for the organisation, but they are typically arranged in a top-down fashion, the manager has power over the programmer. A manager's job is to do the function of interacting with the wider organisation in order to determine the best way for the programmer to spend his time, in effect it's a research job, then he presents the programmer with the results of his research and they both agree that the most value can be added to the organisation by working on bug X today instead of feature Y. But what actually happens is the manager says "do this, because I said so, and if you don't I'll block your next raise". Or so-called engineering managers cherry-pick the most rewarding work for themselves and assign the unfulfilling work to subordinates as punishment. That's deeply dysfunctional but it's what happens when you have a group who wants to do real work, and another group who has plenty of time on their hands for full-time politicking.
One of the funny things about our industry is that when our smartest really give their best to do The Right Thing™, we get Taligent and Swift.

Hmm...
I've been through the whole evolution from Spring with XML configuration to the current 'convention over configuration' approach of Spring Boot.

I actually liked the idea behind the XML configuration when I first got to know Spring in 2007. With this you could decouple the composition of your application from the actual code. You could deliver a jar and the user could decide with his own XML which parts to use and which not, for instance if he wanted to use your software in test mode or if he wanted to use another database.
Otoh, most people who were using Spring were just following the cargo cult and not using any of the freedom that XML offered, and then all the XML configs were just massive overhead.

Then came Spring annotations. For the cargo cult followers this must have been a big relief. For those of us who really used the XML application configuration, the decoupling of code and configuration was now gone. There was still the option to use XML but it was frowned upon by the community.

And finally there was Spring Boot. The advantage of Spring Boot is that if you just want all the default Spring choices you can have a full fledged service up and running in no time. This looks really nice in blogs and demo's.
With 'convention over configuration' you only have to adjust the parts where you don't like the defaults. This might seem nice but if you're working on a larger software project this can quickly turn into a major headache. All kind of choices are made for you by conditional spring beans which you might not even know they existed, there can be complex conditions determining their behaviour that might change all of a sudden when you add a new jar to your classpath.

Spring has one big advantage though. It is so very popular and widely used that as a Java developer you only need to get good at this one framework and you will get plenty of job opportunities for years to come. And the reverse is also true for employers: just choose Spring as your framework and you will have no problem finding new developers.
90% of future Android 12 users will only get it when their phone dies and they buy a new one.
Interesting idea. Thanks for sharing
> There are several ways to test changes in OpenFaaS with Kubernetes. I wanted to outline an approach that I find useful, so that new and potential contributors can get started quickly and experiment. I'll also give you a very brief overview of what OpenFaaS is, and what gets deployed when you install it.

Cost is the reason. You have to consider cost.
> Side note: has the Swift cross platform support improved? I was very much looking forward to using Swift as a general purpose language, but Apple didn't seem very interested in making it a true first class cross platform language. I believe IBM also dropped their "Swift for the server" efforts a while ago due to similar concerns.

The reality is that the ability for this to happen _always_ depends on the motivation of parties to make it happen. With a proprietary language/compiler, you are at the mercy of the owner while with open source you can contribute the changes - but in either case you can't will other parties to see the business value and do the work for you.

There are still first-party projects to help with Swift on the Server (which is necessarily cross-platform), swift has official containers on docker hub, there is and Apple does contribute to these efforts. X86 Ubuntu, Centos and Amazon Linux are part of Apple's official CI, while the community contributes CI for various other chip architectures, Android, and Windows.

However, the bulk of Apple's investment in Swift is obviously in their own interests - just like any other open source contributor. IBM and Google both stopped contributing officially, but from what I've seen it appears that has more slowed community work than stopped it.

It can be useful to speculate, but I think you're not that familiar with what meditation in the Abrahamic religions looks like. Meditation in the biblical sense is to think deeply about something. Meditation in the eastern religion sense is to not think about anything. Those two are basically polar opposites and the psychological / neurological effects of the latter cannot be achieved by practising the former. (various sects have arisen that do eastern style meditation, but those have always been fringe minorities, and neither Jesus nor Mohammed shared any characteristics with them)

Also, in the gospel the story of the temptation in the wilderness comes after, not before, Jesus' recognition of his divine origin and mission. He was already baptized and pronounced to be God's son before ever going there. What's more this recognition has already come to him in childhood. And even if the order of events had been correct, then the nature of the events does not match, because when he was in the wilderness, Jesus was basically put to the test by the devil, who was trying to distract him from his divine commission, rather than being commissioned by God.
There are companies where managers are truly in a supporting function. I'm not here to advertise but my last two jobs were like that.
