What people with this mindset need to hear is "even if the vaccine has terrible side effects, we will take care of you as well as we can and as well as you could wish, even if the side effects are exctremely rare".

In my country at least, if you get any of those vaccines and get Capillary leak syndrome as in some cases, a thrombosis that leaves you mentally incapitated as in some cases, a retinal detachment issue that may leave you blind as in some cases, a myocarditis that may leave you dead in some cases --- then you've lost. You will be a pauper for the rest of your life, as you will have to use up all your assets to pay for care cost until social insurance kicks in. The privilege of getting appropriate financial relief for not being able to work in your profession anymore is reserved for civil servants for life. You're finished. In the UK at least they're planning care facilities for those who suffer from long covid -- here it's not even a formally acknowledged disease, you're treated as any other handicapped person or worse, as a patient with a mental problem rather than phyiscal illness.

If you leave people who are afraid of a virus and a vaccine both the choice and tell them taking or not taking the vaccine is their responsibility alone together with the consequences, it's easy to fall into decision fatigue and just do nothing, and ratinalising that behaviour.

Sure - those applications generate C# code in the background so that's that. Its not that F# couldn't do it, but the no language that's coded by a human competes with auto-generated tooling backend (XAML to C# form code). XAML and the widgets behind them are not designed with a code first flow in mind - so when they generate 100's LOC of C# spaghetti I don't expect to code that by hand in any lang. In that case I would choose C#, or more to the point, the Designer and whatever language it generates - the language is secondary.

Those apps you list are also not cross platform as I mentioned in my comment. They are also not the apps you typically code in Ocaml either which is where the comparison/comment was coming from I feel. For cross platform development and some of the software typical when comparing F# to Ocaml, F# IMO is perfectly fine and on par with C# (sometimes better depending on the problem space).

For vendor specific issues F# ports pretty well to C#. For the very odd time you've proven a bug in F# its pretty easy to whip up a quick C# project to give to one of those "vendors" (half an hour/1 hr maybe to build a repro you would need to do anyway). To be honest most of the time they don't help you with C# either - support sadly in my experience is only on paper and never covers you fast enough when you need it. It's just a tick in the box that you have the risk covered should you ever need to resort to this; which many projects never do.

I get your point for some applications, and if you are doing those kinds of apps fair enough. Use the right tool for the job. But I personally think for languages in the JVM/.NET camp the risks of project failure are overblown and aren't as big as people make them out to be especially if they are pragmatic rather than academic and/or syntax heavy. Given they can piggy back on the bigger ecosystem to avoid getting stuck for edge cases.
There are cultural and political barriers that segment the European landscape like cracks in dry desert soil. From miserly jealousy to parochialism, to excessive (and in parts corrupt) bureaucracy, to very preliminary economic / financial / legal integration, to (justified) lack of trust between European states and long-held rivalries, its all here in abundance.

It's the same model that has been the mainstream for games consoles and mobile games platforms for decades. iOS devices are pretty well locked down pro/consumer products that come with a managed application distribution system. If that's not what you want, there are other options.

It seems to me that if Apple had no more than 10% of the mobile market anywhere this just wouldn't be an issue. If that's what some people wanted, fine, they could get it. The reason it's a problem is, as it turns out, this model works really well for a lot of people and is fantastically popular.
Even things like bugs have been devastated. When I moved from Europe to the US, one of the first things I noticed about the state of wildlife was the lack of bugs. It’s no wonder there’s a lack of all the other wildlife if we don’t respect the foundation of many food chains.
I think you might also be confused about the difference between system identification and observability.

The problem of constructing a model of a system's dynamics is system identification [0].

A state observer [1] tries to determine the internal state of the system given measurements of a system's inputs outputs and a model of its dynamics. The system is observable [2] if the state observer can fully reconstruct the internal state. One motivation for checking whether a system is observable is to determine whether a given combination of sensors (corresponding to a particular set of outputs) is sufficient to for the internal state to be determined, or whether more should be added.

The state observer of a process is another dynamical system whose inputs are the process input and process output, and whose output is an estimate of the process' internal state; if the system is observable, then this estimate converges to the true state over time. This whole formalism doesn't really apply to something like your example, which has no dynamics.

If you have the code for the hash function in your example, then determining the values that its internal variables take for an arbitrary input is trivial; if you don't then it is very difficult. In either case, your problem is different to the problem of observabilty in control theory.

> If only we could compare the success levels of the two funding scenes...

As long as the US side doesn't seek to brush over the failures by attempting to focus people's attention on the successes. And also as long as we have a fair definition of "success" .... an exit strategy that comprises being able to hype up a blatantly overvalued IPO is not "success", for example.

Let's face it there have been some quite spectacular failures in the US in recent years. As well as many more less spectacular that have burnt through millions of dollars in cash before calling it quits.

All that glitters is not gold. The US has a mentality of "throwing more money at the problem", but that does leave you in an environment where larger and larger burn rates become acceptable.

It's pretty obvious from the letters which are superscripted/skipped

I'm not aware of any actual data on this, but it seems to me that those who choose not to be vaccinated are probably also very unlikely to be tested on any regular basis (if at all), and also (at least in the UK, where I am) not engage in any kind of voluntary contact tracing.

There seems to me to be a gap between what people think is happening, and what is actually happening. How exactly are people who haven't tested positive for Covid (either through a negative result, or simply avoiding testing altogether) going to be identified as the source of an outbreak if they're also not engaging in contact tracing in the first place?

As it stands, it seems to me like the most likely people to be contact traced are those who are also testing regularly, and are also the most likely to be vaccinated. I would be surprised if non-vaccinated people are anything but rarely identified as the source of an outbreak, precisely because they're also much less likely to ever get tested (unless seriously ill) or engage in contact tracing.
Unicode is just a cumulation of what already existed in one form or another, not an entirely new mistake.

> 1. embedding invisible semantic information into the encodings

> 2. multiple encodings that mean the same thing

Sure, ISO/IEC 8859 back then had no invisible characters nor composed characters, did it? [1]

> 3. moved beyond standardizing existing alphabets, and wandered into a never-ending stream of people inventing all sorts of glyphs and campaigning to get them into Unicode

> 4. set language back 2000 years by deciding that hieroglyphs were better than phonetics

Emoji business is surely ugly (and I have complained about this a lot), but the very reason that Unicode has emoji is that Japanese telcos have exposed their priprietary encodings to the wild email and both Apple and Google had to implement them for the compatibility. Blame them, not Unicode.

> 5. conflating 𝖋𝖔𝖓𝖙𝖘 with alphabets

Yeah, you will be surprised to hear that Unicode encodes both the Latin letter A and Cyrillic letter A separately. (I think you had already said that they should be unified in the past, but I couldn't find that reply.)

> 6. the crazy concept of "levels" of Unicode compatibility

Most Unicode conformance rules are optional (past discussion: [2]).

Also if you should display a Unicode text in your program and you are not using a stock library, it is up to you to decide what to support because they exist for the reason. No BiDi support? You now disregard right-to-left scripts (or left-to-right scripts if your program is for RTL users). No combining character support? Expect to lose a significant portion of potential users around the world. Probably a colored font support is fine to ignore, but that doesn't mean most other things can be ignored without the cost.

The problem is the false marketing around this.
Your entire argument rests on the weird assumption that the User is responsible for the environment. In the vast majority of software used today, that is not the case.

In SaaS, mobile, and appliances, the environment is entirely or almost entirely controlled by the programmer - a missing file is the developer's problem, and the user can't do anything about it.

In enterprise software, there is a third entity, the Administrator, that has (almost) full control over the environment, and usually there are layers of 3rd party software that control it directly. A missing file or permission error is useless to the user, most likely it needs to be logged somewhere that Admins check, and the user simply told to contact their Admin.

Finally, even in personal desktop software, the environment is jointly owned by the user and the developer - the developer is normally responsible for setting up the initial environment through some kind of installer (msi, deb, make configure etc.), and many environment issues are bugs in the installer, not user errors.

Of course, the same library may very well be used in all of these vastly disparate deployment scenarios - the library can't decide what is the source of an error, so making it arbitrarily decide between two possible kinds of errors is wrong.

Note that even the reverse is not clear; an index out of bounds error could be a user problem - if they are trying to access the 7th element of a 5 element list. The fact that you'd normally do

if userSelectedElement > len(arr) {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("Array index out of bounds")
}
return arr[userSelectedElement], nil

Is only because of the convention you were proposing - `return arr[userSelectedElement]` does the same thing alone, if we disregard the convention (in a memory safe language, of course!).

But .. but ... sure, science as a whole has that particular moby dick, but even when it comes to particle physics there there are many theories (models) side-by-side. Some useful for this, some for that. Grand unified theories (and any theory of everything) will only cover the fundamentals. It's not a coincidence that structural engineers don't have to whip out the Einstein Field Equations when they want to check for resonance, and so on.

And very likely we'll always have competing theories/models at the extremes and they might be inconsistent but they might simply turn out to apply in different regimes, etc.

I really like that this weighs the cat; having regular, non-intrusive cat health metrics is particularly useful. Weight change can be a sign of a variety of other issues, but also probably a bunch of non-issues, so _only_ weighing a cat on an annual visit to the vet is less useful but it's quite a pain to manually weigh the cat each day to see trends. Even if only to calibrate the amount of food to dose over time, it's a useful feature.

Nice project!
