"30 years" is factually incorrect. The requirement is to be a permanent resident for 5 years (I can find links if needed).

...but, like you, I question its effectiveness in bringing us all together. My guess is that it generally triggers a sense of awareness in those who are already somewhere on the "allied" spectrum and that it triggers defensiveness and entrenchment in those that are on the fence or further away. There is clear benefit in the former and detriment in the latter. As you said: "know your audience."

A tip for the Muse team: based on my experience with first-person 3D, a substantial portion of users don't understand pointerlock, and the built-in notification that browsers give usually are insufficient.

PHP School is a community based learning platform that will teach you the core skills of PHP using command line based interactive workshops.

The project has been ongoing since 2015 with 2 core maintainers ( u/aydin_h and myself), work and life got in the way for a while, although we’ve always maintained PHP School we’ve not been spreading the word or developing new workshops for a while. Now that’s changed and we’re hoping to really double down and put some good material out there for you all.

Here’s the start of that. Let us know what you think!
Going against expert recommendation gets attention, and that's about it.

I think a good leader stands out by selecting good technical advisers getting their input, weighing the options and compromising between conflicting suggestions of those experts (e.g. doctor says shut down, economists say shut down will be disaster). And most of all, a good leader articulates the decision they made well and gets everyone in the leadership team on the same page, singing the same song, and leading by example (like wearing a mask in public) so that the people they lead follow along.

The answer is to do your job. Training/coaching/mentoring younger workers is part of your job.

You want to work remotely? Great. Do your work remotely - including the training part.

Are you getting your work done? Does your manager know it? Are you doing the training part as well? Does your manager know that? (I suspect the last question is the key. The manager has to be able to know that this is happening.)

Yet, there are simple Si compounds that are gaseous at such temperatures.

Chlorophyll photosynthesis does not work well at high temperature, but that says less than nothing about whether photosynthesis of different products using a different molecule and a different process could evolve. What we can say is that if it could, it would, somewhere.

The thing is super complicated! The US under SecDef William Howard Taft backed the Japanese annexation of Korea (tacitly, as it didn't do anything in protest) in return for Japan not raising a row over the US acquiring The Phillipines, during the Spanish-American war. Everybody is retconning history. Anyhow, the point is, it's a reach to say Korea's history has little historical baggage. Why is it not a poor, angry, belligerent nation state whose chief export is "freedom fighters" with massive chip on shoulder, as opposed to the technical, democratic state it is right now.
> My point is - I'd like to avoid judging something as (not) alive or intelligent just because it is (or isn't) similar to our daily life.

I think this is fair, but I also think when people say "detect intelligent alien life" it is shorthand for "intelligent and technologically capable life that would also be able to develop things like radio and interstellar travel." The latter is pretty cumbersome. I don't think dolphins are unintelligent, I don't think an ant is either. But in this context that's not what we're talking about. Language has limits and we use shortcuts like this all the time. Let's just be clear what page we're on and let's try not to inject another page just because the same word is used to mean multiple things.
More than anything else software engineering most closely resembles a trade.

The majority of useful education comes from mentorship and on-the-job experience. Sure, you can get a formal education, and sure it helps, but it doesn't make you a useful software engineer. It just gives you a foundation to build upon through mentorship and experience.
According to German law at the time, presumably, they were not committing murder. It's hard to say because it's entire possible for members of a country's military to follow illegal orders and be breaking the law.

According to international law, they were committing murder.

Murder is defined as illegal homicide. As such, it can only be really be discussed in the context of a legal framework. But there can be many legal frameworks at play in any one place/instance.
I think you misred my comment and think I think exactly the opposite from what I wrote.

To reiterate my point: whether OOP or FP you still need to invest time researching, understanding and writing down domain model and designing your application.

And if you don't, the problem doesn't go away and instead hides in some form of technical debt.

FullStack freelancer with tons of startup experience and some founder experience too. Because of that I have a great feel for product, thinking like a user, and building delightful experiences compared to most Engineers.

I also really focus on simplicity and strive to deeply understand the goal at hand, then solve it in the simplest way possible (which often works out best for all parties involved)

Currently I have availability starting in February 2022, but would love to simply start a connection too.

Remember that the architecture competency in FAANG exists in the context of a 2-3 year average tenure. And this elides a tendency to change teams internally even more frequently than that. It is unlikely that a senior engineer rated "Exceeds" at design and architecture in Silicon Valley has ever learned from or been evaluated on the consequences of their own decisions at more than 4 years out. Median probably one year.

so, defining what makes a human in this sense, there are quite a few options.

1. The Legacy approach.

Quite simple, what was our ancestor and our posteriors will be considered human since we are human.

It looks simple, but this approach yields many questions in the future. Consider genetic modification, BCI where human consciousness gets be implanted in a robot extending lives to multi-century long, or what if sciences find a way to merge our genes to other creatures to "invent" a specie that will flourish on Mars?

Those extreme scenarios are meant to challenge the boundary of this definition. But you could see, anyone with flimsy connection to our current legacy is potentially human in the future.

By this view, those dissents like Nemesis are considered legitimate human heir.

2. The Form similarity approach.

Let's say we found some life form on one of the planets. If they share our form, our intelligence, we tested them, they got the same chemical formulations, are they human?

But the key here is that, as long as we define a perimeter, that perimeter not only works in including alien humans, but also excluding ourselves, if some dissent evolves away from current human form like I explain in the story above.

3. Ending and Beginning approach.

The attitude is basically, by some time, we will just have to end the concept of humanity, and call ourselves something else. That we become Martians or whatnot, this humanness is no longer intact.

**so what I'm trying to say here is that, A)the name human, B)the concept defining the name, and C)the underlying scenario on what's actually happening can be quite disengaged.

What I meant to say with the monkey case is that, if a group of human evolves to become Martians, they would be no longer considered as human, by some definition.
The global strategy is : "We are going to minimize the anti-covid measures as much as possible, as long as there are still hospitals bed available to treat patients. If that means people get infected, so be it, as long as we can treat them. We know some are going to die, but we are prepared to accept those losses".

When a vaccine got developed, the country chose to launch a very ambitious vaccination campaign and was on top of the charts wrt to injected doses per capita.

You are comparing the UK with japan and Australia: I am not sure you'd prefer being in Japan right now, and Australia "0 covid" strategy looks great, but they had a lot of extremely severe restrictions as well - and their demographic and economy is much more insular than the UK. With a 14% vaccination rate, they'll have to keep living with those restrictions on for several more month.

You might not agree with the UK strategy - and that's perfectly OK - but it's a consistent one, and they executed it relatively well, considering the knowledge they had of the disease at every time, of course hindsight is 20/20. Other countries have tried other methods, with various degrees of success as well, with various hidden costs which will take years to measure.
I had the same confusion with his comment but I think what he meant was that when you highlight a result in a link, pressing enter causes you to follow that link (which is true). You are correct that ' focuses on only searching within links though.

Enter never goes to the next result though, so I am not sure if that is just something different between his setup and mine. I have to use F3 to go to the next result.
> Above your tone was ‘don’t vax kids because the UK and half of Europe say not to’ which does make one wonder, ‘what about the other half?’

I don't think that was my tone, but interpretation is up to the reader, I guess.

An accurate, concise statement of my opinion is that the vaccines should probably not be approved for kids under 12 at this time, and that this does not meaningfully affect our ability to get past the current hysteria, which we should be doing with great haste.

There's already an interpreter for LLVM-IR, lli (https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/lli.html).

A silicon or FPGA implementation would be complicated by the fact that LLVM-IR uses SSA (static single assignment), so common optimizations performed by a compiler backend (e.g. register allocation) would have to be performed in hardware.

In my experience, Maven always uses the exact version specified in your pom.xml (and the pom.xml of your dependencies, transitively), it never uses a newer version automatically. That is, the built-in way in Maven is locked down dependencies.
