You're _contrasting_ "society" and "criminals". Well, criminals are part of society. Some of us are criminals (or if you like: Have committed, or will commit, crimes). And - the extent of criminality in society is the result of policy (social policies in general and policing, prosecutorial and punitive policies in particular). The US has an incredible number of criminals (and jailed criminals). Some countries have more interpersonal violence, say, but less crime. Many (probably most) countries have a lot less of both.

Also, you're implicitly assuming that the state is the instrument of society; but this is at most partly true.

Finally, is criminality in the nature of some people? Is it a character trait? If it is not, then can we even answer your question? Is "deterrence" or "rehabilitation" (two common answers to your question) even meaningful? Especially when some acts or behaviors get de-criminalized, or criminalized, over time? Homoesexual relations; use of various substances; squatting real-estate; expressing different kinds of opinions; etc.

So, yeah, I've shirked your question, but I really don't think it's a useful one the way you phrased it.
If you're currently in the United States, the demand is so high for capable developers that landing a job with 5 years experience shouldn't be a problem.

Software engineering is one of those fields where knowledge are more generic - a solid set of fundamentals will work for you almost everywhere.

Though:

> I’ve barely been able to bring myself to write much code in that last couple years

Not sure if this is talking about your side project or generally, if it's general, then it kind of does not bode well for a career in software engineering.
> For most people it is perfectly normal not to report anything unless it's bad enough that they have to see a doctor.

This is exactly what's making me restless. Young men are the least likely group to see a doctor unless it's really bad. Thus the official statistics may be severely underreporting the real situation.
I am always worried non-programmers don't sufficiently understand how pathetic it is that we limp along with bloated Unix and other accidents of history that were never retired. And this lassies-fair approach to cleanliness and reducing complexity both makes us more vulnerable and less productive.
That is a sensible first hypothesis, but it rests on many assumptions, in particular that the market doesn't have any prisoner-dilemma/tragedy of the commons aspects to it.

It is quite conceivable, for example, that every single journalist is better off if they make click-bait listicles instead of investigative journalism, but the profession as a whole suffers.
Just be grateful they didn't promote it as being for search and rescue like every robot-solution-looking-for-a-problem that gets invented by academics.
Is that a joke or meant seriously? I really can't tell.
I worked in the automotive industry and I can totally confirm. The worse thing is, there are now AUTOSAR experts and AUTOSAR tools and AUTOSAR Tool Experts and within that tool there’s a ARXML generator that’s generated with another tool …

There’s no way this can ever become safe, robust, software. The worse part is, there’s so many careers that depend on this obscure skillset that I am unsure a change can come from existing companies.
It's believed Apple generates ~$2B per year from advertising revenue (through Appstore PPC) and that could increase to over $10B in 2025. [0]

Are there many people who can't afford to pay for a pageview but can afford the product being advertised on that page?
It's very hard to get raises or promotions on all the bad things that would have happened, had your actions not entirely prevented them. Much better to devote those resources to new initiatives or "transformations" or whatever, ideally ones that can be tied directly to higher revenue, while doing just enough about security that you can't be accused of being unusually lax if something goes wrong (and since all your peers are very lax, for the same reasons, this isn't much).
Did you read the link on money supply? Base money is not used in all transactions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_multiplier is used to facilitate commercial transactions

Your example of GDP is a flow. Gold in tons is a stock. Never compare a flow to a stock https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_and_flow

The next concept to learn is velocity of money. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_of_money

Your base gold supply + your extended money via credit can circulate an unlimited amount of times to support the transaction volume needs of the global economy.

Does the fact that the major vaccine vendors are encouraging placebo recipients to be notified about their receipt of a placebo, plus encouragement that they go get the vaccine affect your confidence in the trial process for this vaccine?

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/02/19/9691430...

“According to Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, interim analyses after approximately 2 months of follow-up suggest their vaccines are 90% to 95% effective at preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection, although no peer review of the data has been conducted to date. Both companies now claim they have an “ethical obligation” to offer vaccine as soon as possible to all participants who received placebo, considering the strong results and participants’ contribution to the research.“
Dr. Bret Weinstein, Dr. Robert Malone (invented mRNA tech) and Steve Kirsch had a most fascinating discussion on youtube that touches on this, but touches on much bigger direct and indirect issues as well. I'd urge people to watch: https://youtu.be/-_NNTVJzqtY?t=591
But it seems this standard is not adopted widely?! To be more accurate, I would have to reformulate my question: Why is there no widely adopted standard for api documentation?
I want to emphasize that these events are rare, although probably not as rare as you we think, and that I recommend to people to get vaccinated.

That being said, I don't know a single person personally (I live in Colorado, with lots of family and friends in Virginia,NC, and DC) that has died or been hospitalized for COVID, and I happen to know 2 people who suffered cardiac arrest from the Pfizer vaccine, with one (my MIL) dead. The other person is a prominent technologist and former Googler, and he suffered several heart attacks in the hospital after his cardiac arrest. Both were in the midst of a post 2nd shot fever a few hours later when the incidents happened.

It should be noted that my experience is anecdotal, and if I lived in NYC, I would certainly know several people hospitalized/dead of COVID. COVID is a very scary virus in the sense that it can cause us to let our guard down. Why? Because of viral load. If you are exposed to a single person with it, your illness will probably not be severe, but if you and dozens of others get on a subway car, sick with covid, a person getting that fat viral load is far more in danger.

My primary issue with the way my MIL and my friend were handled with their vaccine induced cardiac arrests was the way the doctors initially (for roughly a week with both, in separate hospital in separate states) gaslit the families and wouldn't even discuss the vaccine being AT ALL RELATED. It was blatantly obvious to us that they were following PR playbooks either forced on them from their employers and/or medical licensing boards. The utter and obvious lack of any form of curiosity was the biggest tell.

We can't talk about what happened on social media, at all. It gets deleted and flagged as "misinformation" and "encouraging vaccine hesitancy". The private censorship regime is clumsy, and run/moderated by people who don't seem to understand nuance or respect the intelligence of the public. The result of this?

My wife's sister and her husband, who until the incident were NPR listening liberals who were excessive in their obedience to public health authorities, are now listening to fucking Alex Jones. They weren't able to vent their anger and grief or get any information from the normal spaces, and have lost ALL trust of public health authorities. It's horrible to watch, and I"m doing my best to try to keep them grounded as they grieve. They were all in the room when the cardiac arrest happened, and it was very traumatic for them. The denials and gaslighting of the medical staff compounded the issue. (At one point, a doctor insisted my MIL had choked. When told they weren't eating, he insisted that she must have snuck off to get food and sat back down while chewing. Imagine what it was like to hear that idiocy for them)

For those of you clamoring for censhorship, ask yourself if my in-laws now becoming Alex Jones listeners was a positive effect of this regime we encouraged to form after Trump's election?
Ookla (speedtest.net) publishes new data with a Mapbox collaboration
This is something agencies like NHTSA and/or private companies like IIHS are supposed to solve, but most active safety technology testing is just ‘does it work’ in very easy scenarios - the test suite needs to include many environments and tough conditions if it wants to evaluate these systems more broadly (The only issue being when car companies optimize for those specific tests, or ‘when the measure becomes a target’).

Apple had those keys in the same place for ages, and they're all set to the the action rather than function by default. Volume up and down is useful, as is escape and the power button. Key brightness is handy, play/pause I used to use a lot. So looking forward to finally getting a new laptop when the M1 Macbook Pro comes out.

HTTPS is used almost everywhere. And it's not like a government decrees something and it's done. Laws involve multiple stakeholders, and there are multiple governments which converge on the same decision.

It is correct to state that security best practices are not decided by one entity but rather figured out organically and on a non centralized basis.
Yes, of course you can express this in rust. The topic at hand is whether it can be expressed in terms of rust's ownership policies. Your example shows that it cannot; it returns an object of static lifetime, avoiding the issue completely.
As a fellow human feeling quite stuck, what sticks out to me - as I too exhibit it - is the cognitive dissonance in your post.

You like certain areas of software dev better, but you aren't bringing yourself to writing code?

What's up with these contradictions?
Indeed.

I cringe when this mindset worms it’s way into technical terms. I remember cringing when the term ‘genetic algorithm’ became popular. (It’s a great optimization technique for some things, but it has little to do with biological evolution.) Likewise, ‘Neural Nets’. Aaargh... incredible technology, but nothing resembling an actual neuron.

From early decades, the term ‘computer’ — I feel — kinda hampered people’s ideas about what a computer could do. Specifically, the term ‘computer’ or ‘computor’ referred, originally, to a person who added up stuff: it was a job description in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Did the term’s prior usage affect the things for which early computers were used for?
No, but that's the whole point of ads. They're like a progressive tax system. Also some ads are awareness campaigns. Like you see a bunch of ads for Coke and the subconsciously when you want a soda you grab a Coke.
Or Apache Airflow. I'd expect this and KFP to have better integrations that cater to data science. You can use Elyra extension to design the workflows right from JupyterLab.

The gap between the security and defense seems to be becoming smaller. If some of the defense budget was put towards cyber defense, I bet we could see some drastic improvements.
I'm wholly aware the private sector pays better, but in the grand scheme of pay/average citizen, they still make decent salaries. In that regard, why is upper management ignoring IT security at a base-line level of at least rotating backups? Like even that is pretty cheap and you can revert systems back within a day or two with a few days of lost work. Nobody is saying have a top tier security team.

The features you mention aren't any more "smart" than an intermittent wiper is, which was invented long before electronics appeared in cars, much less digital logic.

US luxury cars in 1965 had all the features you mention. They were delightfully dumb and simple to operate. That's what I want now: knobs, sliders, and buttons that move and click when my finger pushes them.
And FWIW the word is auger, which I misspelled.

I certainly don't agree with "denier" type labeling. But I would be as wary of someone who councils people not to get vaccinated as I am of people who pretend unequivocally that there is no risk to it.

Personally, I feel like there has been an escalation where some have been so adamant that it is perfectly safe, that others jump on ultra-rare side-effects as evidence that it's not.
I'm not convinced about that.

I was using those dials all the time as a 16 year old learning to use a camera. It's really easy - especially when you can set one of them to auto and just control the one you care about - plus so quick when they're on a dial.

But I can believe no one wants to do it now, it's amazing how much a bit of tactile feedback can make a task 100X easier, and something you can do instinctively.
Some vendors and models went a bit beyond that (hell, Tesla is even the poster kid for this - coupled with arrogant use of non-automotive screen in early cars that broke from heat).

What GP is talking is return to the design you described, possibly with more focus on car-equivalent of HOTAS and tactile controls.

> the Puerto Rican people, the Hawaiian people, the people of Okinawa

They are like people in Xinjiang? I didn't know they were being tortured, sent to re-education camps, and forcibly sterilized (among many other things).

You don't seem to care about people in Xinjiang? Don't you care that these widely reported abuses, from many different sources, have a strong possibility of being true? Why are Chinese government officials apparently so important to you that you don't seem to even consider the welfare of these people?

You could do a lot for them, a lot for the world, by standing up for them.
I agree that this is a much better option. Also, if you use two OpenWrt devices, you can enable WDS mode to build a true layer 2 bridge. That is, you won't need Proxy ARP and DHCP relay. For example, DHCP and IPv6 will just work out of the box.

Edit: From what I can tell, support for WDS depends on the WiFi chipset. "iw list" must explicitly include "WDS" as a "supported interface mode". At least the Broadcom chipset on the Raspberry Pi Zero does not support this, but, for example, the Atheros chipsets used in a variety of routers do.
They're just using the word "literally" in its ever more popular sense in which it does not mean that it really does apply to all companies.

For example, according to Oxford dictionary https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/englis... "used to emphasize a word or phrase, even if it is not actually true in a literal sense" or Merriam Webster https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally "used in an exaggerated way to emphasize a statement or description that is not literally true or possible" ; in modern usage, "literally" can be it's own antonym and mean "not literally". Language is fun! :)

> Apple is literally in the news business, the services business (many of which rely on ad revenue to compete with Apple's own services)

They are a news aggregator and distributor, they are a customer of media and news agencies. Or a parasite, depending on point of view. Still not a competitor. They also still don’t compete with ad brokers and don’t do any targeted advertising.

> increasingly in the ad business itself (revenue is expected to rise to 11 billion in 2025, growing quickly)

These ads are in the Stores and keyword-based. Which is distasteful, but not quite the same level. Again, they don’t distribute ads, and are not in the market for targeted advertising. They don’t compete with ad networks, and if they weren’t doing that there would just be no ads on the store. Like it was not that long ago.

> in the exact same way digital platforms overall benefited from laying waste to the small and mid-sized ad-industry.

If the mid-sized ad industry does not rely on tracking, blocking invisible pixels in newsletter won’t affect it. If it does rely on tracking, then it can’t die soon enough.
These features Apple introduce sell well because people (including me) want them.

If that means journalists lose revenue, they should look for other ways. Using intrusive ads as an excuse for “otherwise we don’t have money” is just dumb. They’re free to think of other ways.

The best journalism I’ve read (ftm.nl, dutch) is a subscription service and they don’t rely on ads or tracking. The sites that do this kind of tracking, in my anecdotal experience, produce shitty journalism.

If this is bad for journalism, we’ll end up in that crisis and figure out a way that doesn’t use these methods.
This can also be set up graphically using OpenWRT (which is a lighter-weight OS if you just want to do some networking and not use the Pi for anything else.

I should note that while the onboard WiFi is 802.11ac, I've never seen it get more than 60-70 Mbps in my own testing (in a variety of network environments), so if you want more speed, you might want to get an old n or ac router and flash it with OpenWRT instead.
There's no "my specific way". And people prefer to defer some things to me, because I can usually find some way to do tings in batches, rather than them doing those same things individually using common tools.
I find it pretty ironic that Apple also seems to be one of the largest buyers of targeted ads. When the M1 iMac released, I couldn't visit a single website without their grating "Colors" ad puttering along on the side. If Apple considers privacy a human right, can they at treat me like a human too?

I'm 27 and experienced a lot of chest pains and skipped heartbeats earlier this year. One night I stood up quickly, walked a bit then lost consciousness (low blood pressure), hit my head on the way down. I had an ambulance to the ER after that, they didn't find anything wrong during that visit.

I was referred to a cardiologist, had a holter monitor, ECG, and stress test. None of those turned up any issue.

Going by what I've read about this online I suspect I may have had myocarditis from a case of COVID, but I think that would only show up on an MRI, not the tests I got. Luckily the palpitations and chest pain have mostly gone away over the past couple months.

In relation to speculation about COVID and myocarditis cases elsewhere on this page: I doubt my case will be reported because the association between COVID and heart problems didn't seem to be on the radar of any of the doctors I saw.
