“Personally I don’t think that millions of healthy people will ever drop dead from one of these diseases in the space of a year, like they once did from a flu in 1918.”

> It takes a while to configure a persistent database, redis, and storage on Heroku

Really? Have you actually tried this? In my experience Heroku couldn't make it any easier. You can provision a database in 60 seconds, from a Deploy to Heroku button in your Github README, or in the lovely dashboard, or on the CLI, or with two lines in heroku.yml.

Not being one of the Cool Kids who has a golang environment ready to go, I logged into my trusty CentOS 7 box and installed golang with "yum install go" which went fine. I cloned the rep and attempted to build:

git clone https://github.com/oz/tz

cd tz

go build

Nothing. Nada. Dead. Not even an error.

Some googling[1] led me to 'go list -x' to list the modules, which was failing. I suspected failed IPv6 resolution (an issue on this box) so some more googling[2] led me to add this in /etc/gai.conf:

precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100

This solved the problem with IPv6 hanging up, as IPv4 is now the preference. Neat. Now, it still failed with another error: invalid pseudo-version

This appeared to be due to an older version of git, so I installed a newer version, again after some googling[3]:

yum -y erase git

yum -y install https://repo.ius.io/ius-release-el7.rpm

yum -y install git222

I also had to reinstall golang with 'yum install go' and now I am rewarded with a completed 'go build'. Neat! I am looking forward to checking this little program out.

Can you provide a citation for the EMA doing parallel processing because I have yet to hear about that and in fact read the opposite.

It's not in AZ's interest to keep an expensive factory idled in an environment of unprecedented demand, obviously. They want to sell vaccine to whoever will take it. AZ is "unwilling" to deliver to the EU because it has signed contracts putting other countries first and they are able to consume the entire supply. Once the UK is done, they will suddenly become "willing" (if such a term makes sense when contracts are involved) to deliver to the EU as well.

So to be clear, you are describing factual statements as speculation (which is wrong) and then making spurious claims about AZ/EMA's claimed interests instead of what they're actually doing.
But the others were not there when you're there and certainly not with your state of mind. The world is not static and neither are you, which presents infinite possibilities for unique experiences and perceptions.

I like Heroku. I use it.

I suppose maybe I'm a possible customer for these guys, but I just don't care about their nitpicks or glib / empty twitter quotes.

Like I have a login for Heroku... it wasn't hard to make but apparently it was for them, that kinda makes me wonder about them.

Meanwhile their example is the opposite of Heroku, super opaque:

>The documentation says to create a new AWS IAM role with credentials for automation.

Oh just jump in the "create a new AWS IAM role with credentials for automation" canon and fly off to AWS land? I've worked with AWS plenty and man it's not been fun. I'm sure someone who knows thinks that's a trivial step, but I don't do it often enough to be sure of what is going on / be all that comfortable with it.

That kinda "here's a link to some documentation for a vague step" (that they don't time....) is why I use Heroku...
Yep. Heroku's workflow is why I created Piku (https://github.com/piku/piku). I wanted something dead easy for deployments and updates when iterating.
The data I linked to covers the winter -- the same "hygiene measures" were in place in the winter, and clearly affecting both viruses differently.

If you're saying that rhinoviruses are more contagious than the flu because they're less seasonal...there's really no evidence to support that. They're more-or-less the same [1]. It's possible that influenza is more sensitive to heat, light, etc.

My point is, the story isn't likely to be simple or reductionist.

What do you mean "Vaccines are a relatively new technology"?

We've had vaccines since 1796 [0] when Edward Jenner developed a vaccine for smallpox, a terrible disease that we fully eradicated thanks to vaccination. A disease that you and me don't have to worry about because of vaccines.

(Likewise for Cholera, Tetanus, Polio, Tuberculosis, Meningitis, etc)

Also, trains, cars, planes, cameras, lightbulbs and every invention of Edison are newer technologies than vaccines.

For sure, I have had similar experiences. The only time people would use servers I hosted was if Discord/other were down hard. I am only suggesting it as a precaution so you don't lose track of your community. Another option may be a mailing list so that your community can at least stay in touch if MS disband all communities that have adult themes.
I take issue with every part of it. The claim that the other person’s experience is dangerous, that it’s insane, that it’s harming children, and that they didn’t experience it.
>There are claims of bigger factored numbers, but they exploited special cases

Also, my understanding is that almost all of these factorizations utilize a "compiled" version of Shor's algorithm. Meaning that you need to know the factors in advance. So it's essentially "confirming" rather than "finding" the factors.

Yeah this does exist/happen to some extent. My partners father retired young (40's) and spent a bunch of years kicking around doing odd little jobs. The issue for many employers is that people in these situations don't really NEED the jobs so they are less likely to stick around late or put up with any bullshit which many jobs contain plenty of.

This is just antidotal evidence of seeing my partners dad say yeah fuck that job after 6 months.

There's no good way to manage trust between users because the services have to be interoperable. Look at messaging services like Telegram or Signal; end-to-end encryption is easy because they're single entities who decide how all messages are sent and received on their platforms.
Unless you need to scale up. Then it is significantly more expensive. Their PostgreSQL offering uses AWS on the backend too so once you start needing to make more changes or specify regions/sites it makes sense to switch to RDS, plus you end up saving a lot of money.
They don't even TIME that whole step about AWS and credentials, it's a one line link to documentation.

That kinda "draw the rest of the owl" stuff is why people like Heroku.
The whole channel model is radically different, with Discord having terrible defaults (for any use case imho, but definitely for companies). Discord and Slack are superficially similar, but it breaks down once you get down into the details. Discord is built around having a larger 'untrusted' community, whereas Slack is built for employees at a company who are trusted that little bit more.

You cannot leave a channel in Discord, and by default it will notify you of every message sent in every channel on the server. The best you can do is mute a channel and select 'Hide muted channels'.

Discord has far superior voice comms - in both quality and features (Voice Channels are great), and then there's the whole "roles" system.

An Extremely Simple Docker, Traefik, and Python FastAPI Example
It’s hard to do when a very vocal and intimidating group of activists insist everything is political. “Silence is violence”, after all.

One of the commands the various Critical Therories have is to find ‘X’ in everything and expose it. Don’t ask if ‘X’ happened but rather find how ‘X’ happened. ‘X’ can mean racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, etc. And often these terms, like racism, have been redefined to mean something different than what most people think.

So, you can’t just have a nice hobby community according to these therories. You absolutely must unmask the “problematics” in them or else you are perpetuating systemic racism or the patriarchy, or whatever. Any denial that ‘X’ was somehow present is further proof it did happen. Denial is further evidence of guilt. If you don’t join in on the pile-on then you will be cast out and accused of ‘X’ as well and at best have to find new friends and at worst having your livelihood destroyed. So there’s a lot of incentive to “do better”.

"Think of the children" is a valid argument. I don't know if there are more in-depth studies, but this study hints that the average age of first exposure to porn is at around 13 years old and the youngest being 5:

https://archive.is/PfJd9#selection-429.17-429.66

We've taught children myths, legends and now cartoons and comic book heroes for centuries, that is fine. What isn't fine is exposing them to pornography at such young age. When you're addicted to pornography you progressively seek more and more hardcore stuff, as anything milder doesn't do the trick anymore. If you want a population full of sex offenders, then go ahead.

> "A typical web app requires a database, storage or caching backend, which can get complicated to run with Heroku."

Ah no. That is exactly where Heroku is dead easy. The creating, maintaining, updating and general day-to-day management of these "addons" require almost no input from the user. DB failover and mgmt is almost magic.

I wished GitLab would stay away from this needless, click bait type articles. It's not even well researched, almost if they never really ran a serious app on Heroku.

Sure Heroku has quirks (no http2) but I bet a lot less quirks than a homegrown GitLab CI + Terraform solution.

Thanks for elaborating, yes, I think we probably just disagree on that part. What if someone upgrades and they just don’t like the new functionality of 3.0.2 and they want to go back to 3.0.1 just because? This idea that bug-free releases would prevent downgrades is simply unrealistic IMO - as another comment pointed out, why even have versions then?

Flu has an R0 of about 1.3, Rhinovirus has an R0 of around 2.7, and Covid is estimated to have an R0 of 2.7 or higher. So it makes sense that the measures we have taken have stopped the flu but not stopped covid or rhinovirus.

I don't know much about physics (I am trying to learn more), but does anyone else find the idea that the universe is made of "little balls" fundamentally wrong? It just feels like it will never end.

Are we ever going to discover a fundamental particle that cannot be broken up? What would it be made of? How much space would it take up? Just some armchair philosophy.

The point remains that they have politics. It's not some lockstep monolith.

As far as which culture has more healthy accountability.. plenty of corruption to go around on all sides, the comparison would be pretty nuanced.

I'd say that China has a lot more low-level corruption, as a bigger % of their economy, what with large swaths of the country being pretty third-world, but also more accountability for senior people who fuck up badly. They executed a baby food exec who poisoned kids, while nobody saw a day in jail for poisoning the city of Flint. Rick Snyder probably has a nice lobbyist job.

Or, look at Covid -- the mayor of Wuhan and governor of Hubei were sacked over their poor initial handling. Is NY gonna elect a Republican over it? TX elect a Democrat? No way in either case. Maybe we have less accountability in some ways specifically due to the 2-party system's polarization. Arguably Trump lost over it, but the guy literally got covid, right before the election, after downplaying it for 6 months and still got the 2nd most votes in history.
What Comes After Hello World?
That is a strawman argument. Of course WebView should update. The question is whether the structure of incentives contributed to a risky release.

If you "play the game", an error budget causes your releases to become riskier and riskier as the budget grows. This is optimal because a riskier release allows you to accelerate changes, allowing you to hit other OKR.

The issue is that this will eventually cause very risky releases (where you would slow down otherwise). In a sense, an error budget does eventually become "amount of intentionally deployed errors" because you are incentivized to increase risk until an error does appear.
