I think it's tricky. In my experience:

- some "juniors" read the book and take it as any other general book about programming: some things are good, some things are bad, other things are "meh". These "juniors" are quite practical people and tend not to get influenced by "tech celebrities" that much. These are good "juniors" (I wouldn't call them juniors, though)

- other "juniors" take the book as if it were their bible. They do everything the book says and don't stop and think by themselves. The usual excuse is: "Uncle Bob, Robert Martin, DHH, etc. they all are top notch tech people, I follow them without doubt". These, imho, are "bad" juniors... and, to be honest, it's not about tech at all, these kind of people are like this in every other aspect of their lives (e.g., politics). So, I don't care much about them because it's difficult for them to change this perspective on life.

To summarize: programming books written by "tech celebrities" can cause as much harm as good. Depends on who's reading the books.
I mean, stupidity, I assume. I think he’s rather out of his depth.
Is that really so for majority of americans?

> By 2018, 25% of the total U.S. population resided in the large suburban counties, up from 23% in 2000. In contrast, the share of the population living in the urban cores remained at 31%. [...] Some 14% of the total U.S. population lived in rural counties in 2018, a decline from 16% in 2000.

I think that you describe as most Americans is typical Silicon Valley tech employee - went to college and then moved to Silicon Valley to work. But it is not the same thing as majority of Americans making that exact moves.

> That's kind of my point. "Use BEST Practices" is nothing more than a set of guidelines (...)

I think you're missing the whole point.

REST refers to a specific architecture style which comprises a set of very specific design criteria which are explicitly and very clearly specified in a doctoral dissertation.

The term REST is a term that was coined to refer to that very specific set of design criteria once applied as a whole. Not in part, not as a cherry-picked assortment of choices, but as a whole.

So no, the term doesn't apply to a loose set of guidelines which some guy decided to use just because.

It would be like stating you're using HTTP just because you set up a protocol that does request-response and might have support for annotations passed as.key:value pairs resembling headers, buy at the same time had no verbs.

I want to say just that I appreciate the positive and largely non-confrontational tone of this post. Considering the circumstances it could have as easily become muddled with bitterness and/or cheap snipes.
I also think this is likely but there are a lot of people writing about needing regular boosters and treating that as no big deal.

In my view that would be a very interesting development.
But your alternative scenario is ridiculous. Rather than the US and its wealth and power disappear (causing a power imbalance in the process), what if the US simply didn't enter the 20 year long Afghanistan and Iraq Wars, as an example? That is very hard to say the world would be a worse place as a result.
In fact, he was explicitly warned of this exact outcome by me and undoubtedly various others, back when we were still hoping that this could be solved with diplomacy. I think it's in the published logs, even.

I always find it quite embarrassing when right-wing politicians here in Germany come up with this or that does not belong to Europe. In all cases this only shows their geographical and historical ignorance. Kalmykia is a good example. Most of these politicians have never understood that Buddism has been part of Europe for centuries. My favorite example, however, is that they mostly do not know that we have had a permanent Muslim settlement in Europe since the Middle Ages, which is on the same latitude as Edinburgh and Copenhagen: the territory of the former Khanate of Kazan.[1]

I agree with you that a “US Bad” view which paints everything America as evil is misguided. But also the other extreme which portraits US as a savior and protector is also not true.

From the book:

> American disinterest in the world means that American security guarantees are unlikely to be honored. Competitions held in check for the better part of a century will return. Wars of opportunism will come back into fashion.

It sounds like a narrative where a powerful monopolistic entity backed by military power bullies everyone else and claims to provide “protection” for them.

When was the last time consolidated power in one place ended up to be good for people?

I believe a world with US as a powerful country along with other equally powerful nations (an equilibrium) is a much better place for everyone to live in (also for people of US). Maybe it’s naive, at least for now, but one can only dream.
It sounds like your intentions are good and that you are a great manager, but to be honest, and just to share my personal perspective: the last thing I want after working long hours is to spend even more of my personal time on work, even if its a HH or a expensive meal. I just want to get home/off work and do my own stuff, even if its just eating pizza in my couch. Its probably not like this for everyone, but it is for me. Don't sweat it that you haven't been able to arrange HH, some of your team might be like me.

Of course you can. That’s perfectly standard conservative (and more so fash) tactic: you have rights, “they” have duties.

I don’t think most people being cautious are scared of Covid-19. I know I’m not but I’m still not visiting my parents until they’re fully vaccinated because I don’t want to spread it and I don’t want to kill my parents who are both in a much higher risk group. I’m not remotely scared of Covid-19 now that we have more data though.

UN ships were very well lit from what I remember.

Martian and Belter ships less so (still, the Rocinante's crew quarters were fine and we've not really seen many ships outside of battle/emergencies) because they were adapted to lower light conditions on their homeworlds, I think that was said once if I'm not mistaken. The Martian delegation to Earth had to wear sunglasses all the time, for example.

Go ahead. Copy them while doing it better.

There was never a lockdown vs no lockdown. The entire point was to slow it down temporarily until we get treatments, vaccines and hospital capacity. We won't need quarantines any more if it stays slow enough. The biggest problem last year was no treatments and no hospital beds.

I mean I get it that there is some hesitation. I probably shouldn't have used anti-vaxer as that would indicate that every person who is against getting a COVID vaccine is against vaccines in general which is not true.

But that is beyond the point. My point is, that you will get exposed to COVID either way, through vaccine or naturally.

Looking at the numbers I'd rather take my chances with the vaccine. It sure seems a lot less risky.

I wonder who will be the target for these devices, because a great part of portable consoles strategy was: to be a gateway for kids to buy into the "big-boy" consoles down the line.

Basically win their hearts and trust early, so they can become loyal throughout their life.

So these devices had to check some boxes, one of the main factors being the price.

These devices had to be cheaper then regular consoles (among other things) - though they shared the same kind of price strategy between each other: sell almost as cost (or at loss in case of the PS3), to make up later with game sales.

Nintendo blurred that line into one device with the Switch, but they still check the box of the device being affordable.

With that said, there were already some approaches to Nintendo Switch like hardware for the PC market, some with waaaay better performance then the switch (with both intel or AMD socs), yet they are failing in what I believe is crucial for these devices: price.

They are expensive.

I'm not saying they aren't wonderful pieces of engineering, but clearly they aren't meant to even compete on the same level. They can't sell at cost/loss, because they can't make it up with licensing or their own IP, so they have to make money on the hardware itself.

Therefore I always assume these devices are for a very particular small set of gaming enthusiasts who are found of the idea of playing PC games on the go (even with limited battery life), and are willing to pay more then a full fledged console for this experience.

I'm curious to see how Valve will tackle this, or if they are fine with that (which they seemed to be in other hardware releases).

Well the problem is exactly that they do change sometimes. And having only one hard-coded URL is easier than having twelve of those.

> It is certainly simpler than having to extract the URLs from some other request.

It's not extracted from other request, it's extracted from the response to the original request, and using a field from the local struct is not harder than using a global constant.
Just be aware that if you rely on booting VMs (e.g., Virtualbox, VMware) you won't be able to do that in M1s.

VMware is working on it, but it's not ready yet. Virtualbox will not be ported, and Docker is about containers, not VMs.
It is definitely intentional.

I would disagree with the part about the bidding war. Purchasing works more like a blind auction. Everybody puts in one bid on the offer date. Often buyers agents will avoid situations that can turn into a bidding war, and I got the sense that shopping offers (by sellers) is considered bad form among agents and can lead to reputational damage.

Imo widespread underpricing has more to do with getting eyeballs on Zillow, Redfin, Trulia, etc. People set list prices to show up in searches.

He can influence campaigns and election results. He can open channels to most powerful people and have his words heard. If no leader bends to their will, it is still far more influence than what you and I have.

Politicians invest whole careers and lives to play the game of politics. They gain power but not much wiggle room, too much is at stake to keep them in positions. Rich people on the other hand can buy the ticket to sit at the table, and they can leave any time they get bored. Having that kind of power without inherent responsibility is dangerous.

Its mortality rate puts an upper bound on how bad it is. Even if everyone would have been infected without any measures, saving at most ~1% of the population isn't worth stealing more than a year of everyone's life.

Those who die lose on average 10 years of life. Times 1%, that's about a month. The discrepancy of how much we've sacrificed to how little we've gained is absurd.
The hardliner Communists may have never taken over the Northern government if elections had happened and Ho Chi Min was elected, as was expected. He modeled their constitution on the US constitution and asked the US for help.

This resonates with me as well. And it was hard/impossible to get my last employer to understand it. I dont care if you treat us at a great restaurant, its still work, because if I had a choice I'd rather do something else.
Rents have been depressed due to eviction moratoriums So I don’t think this metric is useful right now to gauge the housing bubble. The main mistake usually made with housing is not accounting for inflation. Here is a data driven analysis that does: https://realestatedecoded.com/case-shiller

Housing prices will eventually mean revert like they always do. However, interst rates are so low right now that it still can make sense to buy now.

Not having an idea how a virus is going to mutate means you have no evidence that it is going to mutate in a problematic way.
I haven't read the complete paper, only the abstract, but it's fascinating to me that the authors find a limit of 120 to 150 years.

I remember reading in Genesis (first book of the bible) that the maximum age was limited to 120 years (chapter 6, verse 3).
People are desperate to believe that something makes them special.

Probably the reason most marketing works :)
Not sure I understand the paper (not my field); are they saying that extrapolating from a mortality measure predicts that mortality is inevitable? If so... isn't that just a way of confirming the obvious, viz. that higher quantiles of a logistic distribution are closer to 1? Finding a cutoff age at a - quite large, it seems - number of 120-150 years is cool and all, but I don't see how this informs us about anything other than mortality measures predicting eventual mortality?
Someone told me there will be free cupcakes along with this announcements :(

Article 6 is not the one that really matters here, because we're talking about health-related personal data, which is one of the special categories. Article 9 is the main one dealing with those and it imposes significantly stronger requirements. In particular, the various conditions under which it may be legal to process that data under Article 9 make repeated references to requirements for safeguards and professional secrecy. They still don't seem to outright prohibit general data lakes and opt-out arrangements, though.

Isn't the federal governments purpose to put Americans first?
