going direct to ARIN/RIPE/APNIC etc have some stricter rules (IIRC, in RIPE you need a company or possibly business, plus a bank account in that name). by going for somone like HostUs, they are sponsoring the account, so they need to verify you and ask questions, then setup the ASN, etc. Also, going direct will provide you with V4/V6 space allocations. They might charge a yearly fee (IIRC, its like 50 per allocation) but v6 is "practally" free but V4 will be a in a wait list... Finally, going direct, there is some sort of "kick back"... if the RIR makes more money than it cost to run the place, they reallocate fees back to the LIRs... so, you some times get money back... I have been tempted, but for RIPE, its 1400 per year, plus 2k setup... ouch...

Yes, I think Mareks disease is theorized to be a prime example for this. It is deadly by now for any unvaccinated chickens and it probably was caused by a leaky vaccine and the Covid vaccines are too.
"No Substitute for Judgement"

This is where the experience of Solution Architects comes in, the whole design decisions gets a whole more complex once you start throwing in infrastructure choices and percieved future options.

As a genernal rule I find a large percentage of Solutioning follows the latest new framework.

Going through past designs for many projects over many years and looking at the key design decisions is fascinating - it's almost like being a an Archaeologist looking at latest 'in fashion' technology at that time
There's a non-zero chance that the vaccine wasn't effective for you. Herd immunity reduces the amount of virus in the wild below a certain tipping point, making it far less likely that you could contract the virus if you happened to be one of the people it wasn't effective for.
Don't allow that. When a site registers as "local", which gives it the "local" badge, do not allow the site to switch back to non-local.

Perhaps the site could be allowed to update itself. But this update function should not have access to any local/client state.
1. you can still catch things as vaccines are not 100% (some are 50-60% effective, mRNA are 90-95% so far)

2. It can mutate in people that catch it to avoid vaccine / cause other issues. Imagine if it started causing blindness... would you care then of being forced to take a 5-10% / 50% chance of catching it?

3. No chance of wiping it out without everyone vaccinated.

4. Some people can't get vaccinated or it wont work on them. They will catch it and die if others are not getting it / spreading it.
The population has built in immunity to influenza. There's a combination of health risk and spread potential, and if you continue to limit the benefit to only one of the two, it's easy to distort the conversation in a way that benefits your point of view.

>Let the children build up natural immunity

If a vaccine is safer, why? Framing a covid infection as "natural" is pretty twisted. It's not like primates have been developing immunity to this strain of bat poop for millennia. Pretending a natural infection is better because its natural is reckless. I bet, and I could be wrong, most people who had chicken pox wish they had the vaccine instead.

They're probably good developers but they lost motivation somewhere along the way.
What I read is positive it’s awesome.

On a related note I can’t wrap my head around how I had to grift over a decade to get roles which would pay as much ( and include this level of responsibility and respect) in the UK. Even now I would be aghast with surprise if a company asked me to spend time writing a blog during company time, pleasantly surprised if I was asked to code review. And I mean surprised. Even with my level of experience. ( normally there would be a silo coder who has been there a decade who is the only one allowed to review code).

I’m not saying it’s unfair I’m just pointing out how different a programmers life can be if they don’t slot it into a FAANG company and ends up working at small ones in Europe. Any thoughts are welcome.

Loved the article and the vibe I think it’s great to include junior devs, just pointing out the disparity in wealth and working conditions within 1st world countries tech world
I disagree here. I've seen many cases in FAANG of someone being hired at a lower level than they should, just because the company gets away with it, and the hired person still gets better compensation than they were getting before.

So you can certainly have both newgrads and people with years of experience being paid the same. Although not for the reasons that you initially mentioned.
Firstly, vaccines aren't perfect -- they significantly improve your chances of not catching COVID, and having less serious problems. It is better if (almost) everyone gets the vaccine, which will reduce cases of COVID.

Secondly, I'm getting the COVID vaccine not because they believe that there is a high risk of getting serious COVID myself, but to help others -- some at-risk people can't get the vaccine at all, and immune-suppresed people are still at significant risk post-vaccine (although still lower risk than without).
Your vaccine is not 100% effective, so others in the community are still a potential threat.

If you are immunocompromised, or possibly allergic to the vaccines, then you may not be able to have one.

And as mentioned by the other poster, if the virus is still running rampant in the unvaccinated population, new variants may appear which skirt immunity.

Vaccination is a group effort, and while it's great that I am largely protected now, it makes a difference that society at large gets vaccinated too.
Interior Renovations Services to Contact in Vaughan
You can either buy a new place that would cost a lot or have the full home renovation in Vaughan. Considering how expensive it is to buy a new house, the wise move is renovation. You can renew the complete structure and design of your place any way you want.
GitHub has quite a bit of source-available code (i.e. the source is public but it's not free software). Would be very interesting if Copilot repeats something verbatim from that.
Be precise about something that is unknowable? We take a risk with this plain and simple. It might be small, but so is risk from the disease itself.
Trendful – Data visualization case study with a preowned designer handbag
From my pov as a tech lead, most of these tips apply to any dev reviewing the code, not just junior.

I would even say that juniors tend to do better at these tips than seniors, especially asking questions. I don't see junior devs having too much of a problem asking questions. They are expected to and reminded if they don't. I see senior devs having problem asking questions. And then nobody points it out to them.

Calibrating the feedback? Seniors tend to run on an autopilot and routine and some just don't notice they need to keep doing these things.

TikTok is targeted just because of the economic war against China. It is a very successful app by a Chinese company.

What are you referring to? Classifying some of the talking points as left and right is pretty reductive.

When I was just a little longer it was an undeniably truth for me that left wing positions are plainly just smarter. I still think that way, but I also believe mental illness is far more common in people that declare themselves left wing.
> it's a real working vaccine

It is better than nothing. But it’s a far cry from the best vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, and to a lesser degree, AstraZeneca), which protect against novel variants and can produce some level of herd immunity.
Anyone who remembers the discrimination against people with HIV (which still exists) is obviously cautious here.

WHO is against discrimination based on covid vaccine passports. I suspect because they deal with disease based discrimination all the time.

So you can be one of those people screaming at school meetings to kick out the kid with HIV in the 80's or take a step back.

Perhaps it is ok to discriminate, but it's not simple. This also should not involve heath care workers, as the article mentions these laws exclude them.

I would be surprised if the next best step to controlling this is to start discrimination.
What if there's unpredictable long term consequences? Like, turns out XYZ compounds gives cancer but that only become detectable after 18+ months. Although I admit I don't know if regular trials would uncover these either.

I have no dog in this fight, I'm just providing a possible answer.
The constitution does not obviously guarantee a right for individuals to own guns. Nor a right to vote.

The second amendment is explicitly predicated on, "A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State".

You can easily now read that predicate as false in the contemporary united states, and hence, the derivative right not obtaining.

Ie., the 2nd A. says, "given it is necessary for Militia, individuals need arms". But there no militia, and there need be none. The US has police forces now, and a standing army. The citizens do not form Militias when the US is under attack, nor to police themselves.

As for a right to vote, the 15th A. says only what grounds are invalid for denying it -- it can, and is, denied for other grounds (eg., being convicted of a crime).

The US constitution, as far as I'm aware, is not a "democratic" document in the sense of establishing anything like an electoral democracy.

The US constitution is a series of essentially jointly-incoherent political principles and stipulations that provide the judiciary independent means of constraining the legislature and the executive. There isn't a particularly coherent contemporary political stand point which makes sense of it all.

And certainly modern political principles like "individual rights to arms" and "voting rights" are not really to be found in the constitution in anything like a contemporary form.
I’m truly sorry you had this experience. I must say it doesn’t match mine at all: code review was a major thing since my first day working as a dev, up to this day as an eng manager. My engineers are highly encouraged to write blog posts, it’s a great way to market the company and help with hiring. All of these companies I worked for have been fairly ordinary startups/corporates in the Netherlands too.

> There´s only one reason for taking the vaxx, to protect yourself from severe disease.

This is nonsense. There are several, and they include helping to protect other people both directly by reducing spread and indirectly by not acting as a host for potential variants.

> it has been clear for a long time that the restrictions will not go away

And this is pure conspiracy thinking.
My tone was inappropriate, you didn’t deserve that. It was unnecessary and rude. I’m sorry. Thank you for making a levelheaded reply.
I wonder if this is necessarily true (either part) for a canal network.

I was told by a navigation instructor that "a map is to tell you where you can go, a chart is to tell you where you can't". I have certainly seen diagrams of larger networks of canals/inland waterways referred to as maps rather than charts.

And in terms of updating, I wouldn't be too surprised if the people responsible for chart updates weren't super quick to update the information about canals that are only navigable for very small craft.
Can you expand on this? Clearly the term exists. I have a degree in AI, do the concepts I learned at university not exist? What does you mean when you say AI does not exist?

Do you mean that the terms, algorithms, concepts, and applications found in the field labelled "Artificial Intelligence" should not be called as such?

I have a feeling you are simply playing a semantic game, though, in which case we are likely to talk past each other.

Edit: I suspect you may be conflating artificial general intelligence[0] with AI

One point that most illustration of the old dinosaurs probably get wrong is the lack of feathers. After all, all current dinosaurs have feathers (Yes birds are technically dinosaurs) and it seems reasonable to assume that some of their ancestors had them too. Unfortunately, unlike bones, feathers do not fossilize really well, so we cannot easily determine which species had them. The most likely reason dinosaurs developed feathers is thermal insulation, just like why mammals developed hair.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong but you seem to be suggesting ideograms as some sort of international written language (as opposed to proto-writing) facilitating full literary communication. I'm not aware of any successful attempt in this area. Whatever you manage to communicate with proto-writing will be extremely limited, lacking any sort of sentence structure, grammatical elements (subject vs object etc.), tenses etc., hence it will need to be complemented with regular text, and at that point you might as well just spell out your thoughts in writing. There's a reason why we use what basically amounts to proto-writing only to communicate extremely simple thoughts (warning signs, road signage etc.).
There are a lot of comments being against frameworks like this, as a manager, after having a quick glance, it's a pretty decent one compared to other things I have seen. It's important to note a couple of things, before we even look at the framework itself.

Different people want different things. A lot of people want to code and to be left alone. A lot of other people don't. They want to feel they are progressing towards something. Good frameworks usually state: we consider you as a senior if you are doing X & Y consistently. This helps people aligning their actions/work with a level. The group of people that usually don't care about this things, might start doing so, when their title (e.g. "Software Engineer") lacks the "senior" keyword and they are applying for a senior role elsewhere. This might seem nitpicking, but you would be surprised how many people don't even pass the first screening because they don't have the "senior" prefix. In bigger companies monetary compensation is assigned according to the person's level. In smaller companies, not so much. Everyone has the same title, and people can have significantly different salaries. A good career framework makes it very clear to everyone that if you want to earn between X and Y you need to be at a particular level.

As for the framework itself, I am big fan of giving examples. Say for instance on IC3: "I’m able to navigate ambiguity and remain resilient through ups and downs". I would love if they assigned a somewhat real example: "I am able to complete tasks, even when the acceptance criteria is not 100% clear.". They did well with the separation of the different functions: QA, Software Eng, Security Eng & Reliability Eng. A lot of places bundle some of these together and leave people scratching their head.

Probably not, but I appreciate their transparency and the discussion it’s prompting.
It's not intended to be read as instructions on how to be promoted. It is directed as much to managers and higher levels so they understand the boundaries and expectations.

One basic idea; a) recognition of level based on observed impact, as opposed to b) promotion to power as reward for effort/loyalty. With a), management is not a "final destination" of engineering careers. Old/sloppy organizations seem to devolve into b).

The instructions here seem to be written with this in mind, and directed to everyone in the org.

mRNA tech itself has been in development since the 80s, and for immunisation since about 2012. It's gone from the body within a few hours AFAICT. If you're that worried, go for the J&J or AZ vaccines, which are more 'traditional' and don't use mRNA.

I think I would try to solve this by having the angle point towards the gradient. (It's been a long time since I took a calculus class, so I hope I'm using the terminology correctly.) Basically, pick whatever direction points towards the steepest increase in value (or the greatest decrease would work too).

A possible downside depending on what you're doing is that you'd end up where local maxima in the perlin noise have arrows pointing in but not out. (I think this is what a sibling comment is referring to as "divergence".)
> What if there's unpredictable long term consequences?

That same question can be asked about covid so I don't understand how this single point brings anything to the discussion. We don't know the future. We don't know the future vaccine effects just like we don't know the future for covid effects.

We do definitely know that the effects of covid (even if you discount them by the fact that not everyone gets covid) are much worse than the vaccines. Everything points to the vaccines being much better than the disease.
Using the shitty LCD and buttons. Painful, but only have to do it once.
What's the alternative? Let the pandemic rage on for a few more years, wait till everyone has been affected or dead, and then vaccinate?

Oh wait, that will have the exact same problem, because as more and more people get natural immunity the same selective pressure arises causing new variants. See cold or flu viruses.

Congratulations, you've just caused much more suffering, death and economic damage and achieved nothing by waiting with vaccinations. Good job!
> We don´t vaccinate young people against influenza either, because the risk is so low.

We do. You might want to read up on why the seasonal influenza is a seasonal influenza and how it is different from a new, pandemic strain. There is a reason children are ill all the time - their immune systems are naive with respect to (almost) all strains of influenza. That's also the reason the 1918 flu killed predominantly young people - it is conjectured that their immune systems hadn't seen the new strain yet, while older people had.
