How much of that is just confirmation bias? The AZ vaccine isn't approved where I live (USA), but I know plenty of people who have had scary reactions to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. The scary reactions are apparently proof that the vaccine is working as expected on your immune system, but that's small consolation when you're puking your guts out and suffering from dehydration.
To add to (usual/frequent) spreadsheet software as a database cons:

- No formula/value separation
- Only trees, no cycles
- No named references
- No (easy) functions
- No (easy) SQL-like
- Views
- Triggers
- Default values
- Constraints
- Advisory at least
- No linter
- No birdeye for a schema
- Shit typed
- Even if you insist
- No who when what

One could add to this more and more, but the biggest issue with SSAAD is that a seasoned developer can’t even help a user to maintain its sanity or find errors. Users will break every rule because a software development is full of unspoken practice but it didn’t bite them yet. And when it finally does, when a user feels an overwhelming complexity and that lack of control kills their operation, it already costs a small fortune to reveal and reimplement all nuances and edge cases into software requirements. I’ve seen a few businesses that became a function of what they can do with Excel and what Excel can do with them.
Does this comparison account for the vaccinations being administered to specific populations? In the UK it's been targeted at the most vulnerable & elderly.
> due to the approval process in EU, AZ wasn't approved for people over 65 until very recently

No, the EMA was perfectly happy with giving it to people over 65, it was the local health authorities who wanted to "have their say" and nitpicked it.

Now look and behold, it seems it maybe was a better idea to keep it to the older cohorts.

And yes, the fact that the UK went to the older cohorts first might explain why they have seen fewer cases.
I’m sure if you were the one who got a bad blood clot from the vaccine you wouldn’t care about the numbers at large.

From 2005 until 2015 I ran my own development company. Since 2015 I’ve been using that experience to help companies and development teams take ‘the next step’. The next step in delivering higher quality products, the next step in gaining higher developer velocity and the next step in being a more predictable in planning and outcome.
What do you mean by "NASA data"?
Because the chance of dying of Covid is 100x to 1000x times higher than dying from the vaccine

Things that cause more blood clots than the Covid vaccine: covid itself, pregnancy, birth control, etc

But you prefer the virus, sure, go ahead. But a tube down your throat is not comfortable.
It's ALL silly nonsense.
It covers the majority of urban and suburban Denmark, plus a majority of exurbs, anywhere an "antenna association" used to or still exists today and almost every apartment building. They are connected with coax through either us or one of our competitors, and there's mandated open access to coax.
Again the British media did a disservice to the vaccination effort, after weeks of bashing several regulators for making the decision of investigating this anomaly, and never once questioned the possibility that maybe it wasn't yet expressed in the UK data because their own regulator missed these cases.

One thing is to bash the EU politicians because that's kind of what they are there for, other thing is to bash health authorities, regulators, doctors and scientists out of some sick sense of nationalism and superiority.

It's just sad.

Norway, Germany, Denmark and other countries regulator bodies worked together to identify the anomaly, what triggers it, and how to deal with it, and this will prevent unnecessary deaths of people that are committed to help stop this pandemic by taking a vaccine.

That's how these agencies should work, that's why everyone should be relieved about taking a vaccine - they didn't create new protocols, or closed their eyes, or bent over politics, just because this vaccine effort is important. They know what they are doing, and questioning them out of arrogance it's just an expression of ignorance.
This was one of my very first shareholdings. I worked for Nortel who made the kit, and I remember an excited presentation in the staff canteen where the upcoming ISDN capabilities of the system were described.

I learned from that experience...
I solve that with multiple desktops feature on macOS. You also get that on Linux and newer versions of Windows. I use either trackpad swipe or ctrl+[left/right] to navigate.

The important thing is to set the desktops to be static (disable the “smart” rearranging) and set the windows to always open in the same desktop.

This makes my experience on a 16” screen so great that I have a hard time adjusting to using two monitors.
Maybe next time spend a second to think about why anybody would like to do that — could be that you find some very valid and good reasons you never thought about. No need to agree to all of it, but the ability to put yourself into other perspectives is a much needed resource these days.

Google e.g. is a US company. US companies have to comply with the patriot act, meaning they have to help US secret services to access data Google collected. By doing so they would however be in direct violation of GDPR. This means from within the EU technically you should not use Google Analytics. (This has afaik to do with the ruling of the European Court of Justice, where a law which declared US privacy standards to be in alignment with EU privacy law was struck down).

And neither do I want to use Google Analytics. On my websites my visitors trust me with their data. This means it is my duty to understand what happens to their data on my website: what is stored, what is forgotten, what is sent of to which third party and for what reason. Google Analytics makes it kinda hard to understand that, so I'd rather use something that is simpler and stays on my servers and within the legal framework of my country.
>You should ask how every single Fabless Semiconductor company has failed with their demand, supply chain analysis and projection.

That's an oversimplification. As lead times increase, overbooking increases and that gives rise to further extension of lead time. Delays also become more prevalent at high utilization because there's no capacity in reserve. It's very difficult to predict where demand will go in a year of totally abnormal market behavior and unpredictable helicopter money.

In other words, fabless chipmakers are asked to do the impossible and some of them, predictably, failed to accomplish that task. Imagine asking AMD in April of 2020 to predict how many PS5s will sell during Christmas.
I’m not sure how true it is, but haven’t been some quite great breaking changes with .NET core, .NET, I don’t even now where they are now.
Adding personal invective to your litany of misquotations, misrepresentations, straw-man arguments, and sealioning, as in comments passim, is not an inducement to further discussion.
It's a while since I ran fMRI studies but my favourite analogy was to tell people that it was like trying to measure your electricity usage by watching your water meter.
I don't find myself reading code for the sake of reading it. I'm usually trying to answer some questions, such as "how is this structured?" or "what might be causing buggy behavior X" or "how expensive is this" etc. That informs the things I pay attention to and the things I ignore.

The way I read code is meant to optimize for question-answering and understanding (aka future question-answering). To that end, I've learned many heuristics, such as "pay attention to method signatures, look at what the loops iterate over, understand the call graph, skip over the error handling bits unless needed, etc. I don't view these as tools for helping me read, but tools for helping me gain understanding of code quickly and without wasting brain space on probably less relevant bits.
Not the safest if you're below 30 and have correct care available, no?
This blog post is so wrong and out-of-touch that it boggles the mind how it popped up in HN. The blogger's strawman to criticize the use of env variables is so mindless and outlandish that casts some doubt regarding the author's experience and know-how.

Meanwhile I'll just say the following:

* Any config input, whether passed through env variables or config files or command line arguments or external services or telepathy, is handled by clients. Sure, anyone is free to directly call getenv() from whatever corner of the project, but to handle any input properly you need to use dedicated clients to handle common usecases such as input validation, logging, provide sane defaults, and layer config settings.
We moved to PHP from Perl in the late 90s because of mod_php. It was just easier, faster & cheaper. We had a vast perl codebase we rewrote to PHP. Competitors here started to use Zope (Python) begin 2000s so we started to look around again and went over to Java which moved our company from little small/medium business clients, straight to enterprises (fortune 1000). The 'easier, faster & cheaper' went straight out of the window, but we did beat the Zope competitors in mostly all sales pitches.
Welwala!
> environment variables are mutable global state, therefore bad

Wrong. They are immutable global state. There is no way of updating a process environment set after it's started. Apart from corner cases (execve), env vars are immutable, therefore act like constants. And constants aren't bad, are they?
Try reading the last two paragraphs of the article first; it won’t make much more sense unless (I suspect) you already understood the point it was intended to convey, but you’ll save some time being confused:

> By now it’s probably worth dropping the allegory: the “workers” in our story are models, which could be individual layers of a neural network, or even whole models. And the process we’ve been discussing is of course the backpropagation of gradients, which are used to iteratively update the weights of a model.

> The allegory also introduced Thinc’s particular implementation strategy for backpropagation, which uses function composition. This approach lets you express neural network operations as higher-order functions. On the one hand, there are sometimes where managing the backward pass explicitly is tricky, and it’s another place your code can go wrong. But the trade-off is that there’s much less API surface to work with, and you can spend more time thinking about the computations that should be executed, instead of the framework that’s executing them. For more about how Thinc is put together, read on to its Concept and Design.

> I'm pretty sure the USA still beats China in a fair fight. But if the USA is playing defense with Taiwan, the picture is very different.

The background is that this has been wargamed and the the US could "lose fast", although this is probably in a "defend Taiwan" scenario. I wouldn't assume anything about a hypothetical "fair fight".

JEP 408: Simple Web Server
The tricky part IMHO is that with safetynet google is selling snake oil themselves. If they are claiming that security does not count as fair use to spy on the userfor others, ... .As much as I like security awareness. In the end it means patronizing users in order to control the ecosystem. The problem with banking and google is that we cannot escape this ecosystem without losing a lot of commodity. Why not do it like Apple and put annoying popups before each install process if apps want spying permissions. The only reason can be that google wants us to not be aware...

Is there some analysis that goes into deciding to operate on someone of advanced age? The records of all births, deaths, and surgeries are known. Isn't it possible to compute the life expectancy of someone with or without surgery and simply select the best outcome? What benefit does surgery have if someone is likely to live to 85-90 without it?

Think about it - what kind of work does involve "reliable infra" today?

Instead of knowing one Linux system well and maintaining multiple servers in different data centers with different providers you now have the stupid overhead of multiple cloud infra providers with all their lockin-pitfalls and incompatible specialities.

The promises of cloud have not been delivered.

It is all fake.

An alternative is public offer when Apple promises to not release a fix without payment. If it's not a bug, no need for a fix.

Using gRPC with TLS, Golang and React (No Envoy)
I agree, but the general consensus in startup pop-literature (is that a thing? :D) is that you can never be sure unless you ask money and people are willing to pay. Otherwise people can just say they like / want / need it, without risk. I have to say that I agree. Too many times I've experienced that people _say_ they'll pay, but never actually do when push comes to shove.

But when someone does agree to pay (meaning you've somewhat validated your idea) then you're left empty handed and have to backtrack with your first customer. Not a great start. But that's just me :) YMMV

IFR of 15-24 year olds is 40 in a million, so higher than 30 in a million

That number also ignores effects of long covid

I worked in Munich, Germany in a building that had this. It was built some time around 2010. Same experience as you had. It didn’t really work all that well. Spring early summer was good. Peak summer was a disaster.
If I got the vaccine and a blood clot, I'd want to understand it better. I'd want to understand the numbers at large to see whether it was caused by the vaccine. In the UK, the numbers need to be considered fully:

* 30 million have received the first

* 4 million have received the second

Let's assume that 80% of folk got the AZ vaccine and that there's an equal chance of clot after each vaccine. So we're stating that the chance is 42 / 34 * e6 * 0.8. That means that the chance of it happening (from just those numbers) is 0.000001544117647. Since there are some many zeros, 0.000_001_544_117647. These numbers are tiny.

Now compare that with the chance of death from Covid. For over 50 the chance of death is much higher (calculated by UK population number and deaths in population over over 50 from COVID). When I did the calcs yesterday on the Norwegian (iirc) numbers assuming about 30 per million (higher ratio than the UK numbers), it seemed that for the under 40's the chance of death from vaccine was slightly lower than dying from COVID.

In the UK, COVID deaths might be considered higher than other countries due to differences in the way in which deaths are recorded.

The next question to ask is what the likelihood of a similar blood clot within the general population if they'd not had the vaccine. From what I hear those chances are similarly low. From what I've read from doctors it sounds like the chances are higher than without the vaccine. Some joked that this could therefore be considered an anti-blood clotting medicine.

Next put this into comparison with other medications, such as the contraceptive pill where chance of blots clots is 1:1000.

The numbers at large matter.
I highly encourage you to check out speedata publisher [1] by the berlin-based developer Patrick Gundlach.

He is a well known figure in the TeX community and has created a (open-source [2]/self-hostable) document creation solution on top of LuaTeX.

You can simply run that from the command-line and integrate it in your workflow but it also comes with a server integration that provides you with a REST API.

Admittedly there is some kind of learning curve (even for LaTeX literate people as he is using an XML/HTML abstraction layer on top of it) - but that also keeps it interesting for users who have never played mich with any TeX-language prior to that date.

Coding in shell sure is a challenge, I try to avoid bashims where I can, that's why most scripts are .sh not .bash, since they run also with dash/ash (that's why preferring `[` over `[[`).

The only Bash requirement we have is the `podc` (pod compiler) since it parses YAML docs, I couldn't pull that one off without the more powerful Bash.

The code base as a whole absolutely needs testing and shellchecks all over the place to be labelled as mature in any sense.

Our other large shell project is Space.sh [1] where go overboard on testing, each module is tested under a bunch of distributions. [2] [3]
Next step would be to do the same for Simplenetes.

Given that in shell that the only way to protect a variable from functions down the call stack accessing it is to redeclare/shadow it as "local" brings some murky waters.

BUT, isn't it amazing what is actually possible to do with Shell??

For me Simplenetes in the long run is not about it being written in Shell, I'm perfectly happy rewriting it in Rust if we get traction on it.

Simplenetes is primarily about having a simpler architecture of what a container cluster is and is not. I think many projects just get too complex because they want to fill every single use case out there, while the interesting part is saying no to things.
