>Grumpy people are going to be grumpy anyway.

Oftentimes, that's because a bad experience left a scorched trail starting at a normal interaction and continuing all the way to the bad place it ended up. That doesn't make the negative judgment accurate but it can make it understandable.
Same goes for app stores, what happens if google and apple ban you for whatever reason? Your company is screwed and you have no appeal or legal safeguards.

That's different, the "slacking" of which you speak is a kind of dissent.

What I mean by "political disengagement" keeping a distance from political issues and otherwise "saying withing the lines," so to speak.

>Vaccines aren't distributed to countries one after another until each order is completed. Instead, the production is divided up and goes towards different orders

If I purchase an item before others, purchase by far the most quantities of that item, pay by far the most overall, and pay a considerable amount of money toward funding its development (shades of Kickstarter), I should expect that item before others.

By early June 2020 (<https://web.archive.org/web/20200603171013/https://www.nytim...>) the Trump administration had already identified and was planning to sign the aforementioned huge contracts with Moderna, AstraZeneca, J&J, Merck, and Pfizer. (An 80% success rate is fantastic in drug discovery.) By that time the US had already paid $2.2 billion to three of the companies. (Also note the skepticism throughout that any vaccines could be delivered anywhere within the timeframe the administration was promising.)

By contrast, look at Canada as counterexample. Consider Maclean's desperate attempt to spin its procurement difficulties (<https://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/where-did-canadas-vaccin...>). If you look past the predictable eliding of the US's firstest-with-the-mostest contracts as an "export ban", the best the magazine can do is admit that

* all Canadian contracts with vaccine providers that actually delivered were signed between late July and late September

* all contracts were signed after the collapse of the CanSino deal, which Canada had loudly bragged about as proof of its savviness at obtaining vaccines ASAP and circumvent any US vaccine export ban (which, again, never happened), and which it has done its best since the collapse to pretend that the attempt to foil the perfidious Americans never ever existed

* the other contracts that the magazine cites as proof that CanSino wasn't the only basket Ottawa was putting all its eggs in are with VBI (Who?) and USask. They may or may not yet deliver effective vaccines, but it's all now a bit beside the point, eh?

>That's not true. The US government used the Defense Production Act to stop the exports of finished vaccines until some time ago.

I specifically said vaccines. The US did invoke the Defense Production Act for certain medical equipment, to further ensure that its vaccine contracts are fulfilled first (<https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-24/biden-use...>). But, let me quote (<https://www.ft.com/content/82fa8fb4-a867-4005-b6c2-a79969139...>): "The DPA does not allow the administration to block exports overseas".

The US's vaccine contracts would be fulfilled first regardless (albeit possibly more slowly) without the DPA, because (as I said) the US was the first and paid the most. The US's Pfizer contract explicitly prohibited the company from exporting US-produced vaccine doses until March 31, but that was a moot point because the company only began to export US-produced doses
at the end of April because it still had to fulfill said US contract first (<https://www.barrons.com/articles/pfizer-to-export-u-s-made-v...>)

Nah, lots of us here love threads. Threads was one of the reasons our large private friends-only Slack server didn't move to Discord. This has reignited that conversation, as we like Discord more for certain things, and threads were one of the things holding us back.

The difference is we just aren't really saying anything.
Be aware that Discord treats this as a fraud indicator - the reason Ripcord does not support Discord multi-account is that it puts you at higher risk for a ban
Like I said, I work in the industry. I've worked on several projects with teams on more than one continent.

The much-repeated "it'll slow down collaboration" is only a factor of how terrible your company's communication strategy was at the outset. If your company worked entirely verbally and contained little to no digital communication or memory, then you'll have a terrible time.

100% remote work makes intercontinental collaboration almost seamless. My current employer has teams on every continent, except Africa (so far), and we've been at it for over half a decade.

The 'problem' with people who are invested in you is that when you do something they really don't like, up to and including breaking their trust, they push back instead of leaving.

They will stick with you through little fuckups, but if you want to make a big change, for better or worse, then you're going to hear about it.

It's why ex-smokers and ex-drinkers complain about having to stop hanging out with their old friends. It's not just the temptation to revert, there's also social pressure for you to be the old you. If you want to go the other direction and become an ass, you're in for a similar treatment.

I think it will be interesting if enough clever new whiz-bang stuff comes out particularly based on Julia's metaprogramming powers.

However, when talking about the "two language problem", the main issue traditionally was prototyping computational code in Python / Matlab / whatever and then having to drop into Fortran / C / Cuda for optimizing it. That's pretty much a solved problem in Python now - thanks to the well developed ecosystem, you don't really have to leave Python to write fast numerical code.

Gravity is probably also learned at the same time we learn how to use our muscles from how we must compensate for it when moving, also from seeing how things have a tendency to approach the ground unless something gets in the way, and from the sound things make when they hit the floor.

I don't think there's much opportunity to experience gravity before birth in order to train it, and I can't think of anything the brain would need to know about gravity beyond how we experience it with our senses.

> And what about fight or flight reflexes and presupposing monsters in the shadows? My understanding is that these had a primitive evolutionary basis and that we came hardwired to respond to certain stimuli.

Maybe pre-wired behaviors can depend on non-pre-wired stimuli, like a function that's conditioned on an undefined function and evaluates to false on exception.

I only mentioned multi-node because exposing a single VM to the internet is trivial -- just give it a public IP -- and thus is not an apples-to-apples comparison with the multi-node load balancing that you get from the entry-level k8s configuration of Service > Pod < Deployment.

statements like this are why i have no interest in investigating allegations of sexism because neither of these things are sexist.

is your starting point that we're supposed to assume this is only being done to women? assuming women are being treated differently is a poor premise for proving women are being treated differently. or are you implying that doing the same thing to men and women is sexist to women? either way, its a very poor argument and calls into question your judgement.
That might be the initial model, but it's not the current model. People use Discord for far more than real time chat. It's effectively replaced forums for many communities. While real time chat is still important, it's not the only use case.
> I want to make a point about "culture fit". "Culture fit" in a company typically comes down to "we like you" and the reason why people like other people is that they are like them. Similar age, background, whatever. It's why Stanford grads probably like other Stanford grads.

I mean I do kind of agree, but I'm not sure if "hire people you dislike" works either? It probably needs to be more of a situation of like "if you're a stanford grad the world isn't just other stanford grads" or something.
Have you used Go? It exhibits a very different kind of simplicity than e.g. Scheme implementations.

Yeah, absolutely - but Activision is a behemoth compared to Blizzard. I'm just saying that WoW players will probably care, but in general customers of Activision likely won't notice.

> abominations like slack - which hides streams of conversation behind a wall, making the UX terrible.

I'm not usually a defender of Slack but this is one of the things I _like_ about Slack threads. Typically in our rooms every discussion is a thread and if I'm not concerned with that particular discussion there's only ever one message and notification I need to dismiss. If I _am_ concerned with it I can opt in to reply notifications with two clicks.

> I think this position is very valuable. By far the best way for us to effect change in China politically, and every other major ideologically opposed nation, is to effect change at home, and be so sucessful that the superiority of our approach cannot be refuted.

I don't think so. Fixing domestic problems is a worthy goal, but it's wishful thinking to believe it will do anything to "effect change in China politically."

Assume for the moment that you're American, liberal, white collar and live in one of the more affluent blue coastal states. Now imagine that 75% of your countrymen are rabbid red state Trump supporters, of low education, get most of their news and information from low quality Facebook shares, and are clearly misinformed about the world in many ways. Now imagine that the Federal government is much more powerful than the States, and that representative democratic policy will mostly reflect the will of Trump True-believers, the people fully supportive of the Capitol riots. How principled are you really about the rule of democracy?

Now I'm not suggesting that this is a good analogy for the Chinese situation, nor that this is how highly education urban Chinese think about democracy (though I do know a few who do seem to think that way). What I am suggesting is that democracy is not always and everywhere the slam dunk win that some Western liberals appear to think it is.

I write this as a second generation immigrant raised since elementary school with Western democratic values. I do believe that despite some flows it is the best system for most of Europe and the US. My parents fled the madness of the Mao CCP regime, and they've probably seen the worst side of the CCP. Yet they are ambivalent whether a US-style democracy today would be superior for the Chinese citizens to the current CCP.
When I was small, the same thing was said about Ferrari. Obviously we didn't understand that F1 is marketing as much as magazine ads are. In the same way though, Tesla might not do declarative advertising but things like Musk's appearance on Rick and Morty or favourable media coverage fulfil the exact same role.
Even 4-person households cannot explain the popularity of large SUVs in the U.S. The majority of households have either 1 or 2 people. 78% have 3 or fewer people.
But Apple sells computers ? Tesla is selling some battery installations from what I saw but their core business is cars. You could claim they are valued as a software company because of FSD, but I don't really see the battery angle, they would be not be anywhere close their valuation if they were valued on that angle.

For enterprise is what I meant. Not for individuals.
It paid significantly less than other engineering fields, and much, much less than specializations in finance, medicine and law (which artificially constrain supply through various gatekeeping mechanisms) up until recently, when the wage-fixing and anti-poaching policies were quashed.

There were also two periods in the past 25 years where it was very difficult to find work, especially for entry-level, without there being an especially large glut of engineers. Dot-com bust and the 2007 recession.

Wall Street Bets – Trends to the Moon
It's not quite so simple. Peter often gets criticized for borrowing the book on the parts he did like (science, engineering), but meticulously avoiding all the parts he didn't fancy - especially the political philosophy. Russia still acquired some; it was simply unavoidable with sending so many people to study abroad. But so long as we're speaking of would-have-beens, if Peter didn't do it, a later monarch might have carried it out in a way that didn't keep Russia lagging the rest of Europe politically by a century.
It still feels so strange to me to criticize an entire race or gender lump for a perceived trait of that group (here, the trait of not calling out sexism enough).

It's taking the easy route by blurring and darkening a lot of things, look at the eyelids for example in modeled example, there is incredible detail there.

I agree with your complaints about DeepFake but imo it did a far better job de-aging DeNiro. To me, the release version had a lot of "old man" cues that the DeepFake one didn't, such as the jowls and heavy wrinkles.

Hack NFL data using Postgres (and maybe win your fantasy draft)
Today is opening day for most of the NFL’s training camps. I’m a huge fan of public datasets, and my coworkers and I happened upon this dataset from the NFL. We loaded it into our company’s product (TimescaleDB) and did some number crunching. We wanted to definitively answer some questions about whether or not there is a quantifiable difference in performance when playing at Mile High Stadium (there is) or if Tyreek Hill really is as fast as he seems (he is). If you’re a football fan, there’s some good data in there. At the very least, you may settle a few bar bets. Maybe you’ll even find something to help you win your fantasy league this year.

I'm actually not on AWS, just used EKS extensively at my last job (and we still manually test our software against it).

AWS burned me hard with forgetting to auto-renew certs at my last job. It just stopped working, the deadline passed, and only a support ticket and manual hacking on their side could make it work. cert-manager has been significantly more reliable and at least transparent. The mistake we make right now is asking for certificates on demand in the critical path of running our app -- but since we control the domain name, we could easily have a pool of domain names and certificates ready to go. Our mistake is having not done that yet.
