Then almost no humans should be alive anywhere. Almost all river valleys are former swamps, laid dry somewhere between antiquity and now to be habitable and arable. Rome was a swamp dried out by the cloaca maxima, among other reasons to get rid of the mosquito plague and associated diseases.

We have made land habitable for millenia, you are arguing for a return to stoneage levels of settlement.

Masks are a new hygiene standard. Do you think the enlightened gentlemen doctors of the age actually set a bar of how many women should die before they began to wash their hands?

They smeared, they waffled, and now they serve as the warning to all of the the terrible, prideful (and filthy) fools who robbed families of their wives, daughters, and mothers over something people today balk at the idea of not doing- washing their hands.

Tacit defense of non-consensual disease transfer costs the arguer nothing to make and hurts others. It's far simpler to enjoy the same benefits of covering your mouth and nose that medical providers have for decades: knowing they are protecting others, whether or not they understand, appreciate, or ask for it.
Why should there be much of a difference? We do not choose our family (except, perhaps, one person), nor do we usually choose our coworkers. (Hell, we actually have more freedom there, if you take the choice of a workplace into account.)

> Why have we all so strongly coupled our identities as programmers to the language we use?

Because the viability of a language is linked directly to its ecosystem and big names using it, so people that want to use one language have to promote its use if it's not in the top 5. You don't see many people advocating for Java, but some people are advocating for C#, Kotlin, Scala. You don't see many people advoating for JS, but many people are advocating for Elm, TypeScript, ReasonML.

On the other hand, people that are "forced" to use a language want to bring features from other languages they'd rather use. You can see in this graph https://go.dev/blog/survey2020/missing_features.svg (from https://go.dev/blog/survey2020-results) that people that want Go to change want to bring features from ML, Java, Rust, etc. Other languages. Because they have to work with Go or want to work with it but want to bring what they already know with them.

Lots of people spend 8 hours a day using the programming language that their company chose. Adding a few things that they like to it seem like a good way to make their life better.
1 kg of muscles is not heavier than 1 kg of fat.

By the way, professional body builders who go to the gym a couple times per week, increase their diet, optimize their diet, etc. are happy to gain 2,5kg of muscle a year.

So no, muscle gain has nothing to do with weight gain/loss. Successful diets are a lot faster, and most exercise based programs fail in studies.

It is not fair to compare SPA or big frontend frameworks with "pure JavaScript" or messy jQuery as some imply.

By putting 20% the effort we put nowadays with these big frameworks into well organized "sprinkles" it is a very viable alternatives. Tools such as Stimulus, unpoly, htmx,etc make this very approachable and maintainable.

To me, SPAs only make sense in two scenarios: 1) You have the requirement for the app to work offline, or on really bad network connections (subway, etc) or 2) You already have a team which only wants to do SPAs and everything else is uncool to them.

> ...for Yamamoto was a brilliant strategist who was flatly opposed to war with the United States. He had seen America's industrial might at first hand when he had studied at Harvard University, and later when he served as a naval attaché in Washington.

> But Yamamoto was a robust nationalist and a Japanese to the very marrow of his bones. His love of Emperor and homeland was of volcanic ardor, and his warrior heart followed the traditions of the true samurai: duty first.

Basically, "I know this is a bad idea, but the boss says so, and I just work here so what do I know... so here we go..." Story of corporate american right there

> Throughout these preparations, Japanese diplomatic efforts in the United States continued. The Emperor had initially desired to declare war prior to an attack for the sake of honor, but his military advised that complete surprise was needed. Thus, up-and-until the final moment, Japanese diplomats kept up their foreign policy efforts without hinting at the impending attack.

> Negotiations ongoing, Japan launched its attack fleet and began the steady march to Hawaii in late November 1941. In order to conceal the departure of such a large attack force…

It's interesting how there seemed to always be a kind of conflict on how to approach the military efforts between the Emperor and the military. And the military seemed to always get its way.
Agreed and you’ve just described PowerShell which I think is perfect for this.

That said, I do also appreciate bash scripts which are cleaner if you just have a long list of commands to execute and no real logic involved

Like a family, eh? So let us see who from my office turns up and does my daily groceries, takes care of my kids and cleans my house if/when I am suffering from a sickness - doesn't even have to be a prolonged case, a few weeks would do. God forbid if it is prolonged - if the law of the land permits, the head of our "family" (a.k.a my boss) would, in varying levels of directness/corporate-speak, let me know what an "incredibly difficult decision" it has been to "part ways" before kicking me out of the firm. You know who are the people I can most expect to be actually there for me? My actual family.

I know that all the families are not same and there are instances where one finds colleagues who go to great lengths to support each other while the dysfunctional family actually weighs things down. But that is not the norm (atleast not in the culture I am from). So if people of a firm use terms like "family", they better back it up. Otherwise, just shut up and give each other the space that grown-ups deserve.
I too found such a company. They are a bit rarer. Lots of companies just don’t know how to manage people. You think with the thousands of management trainings that it would be so, but alas.

A good company makes you happy, isn’t a perpetual stress fest and makes good money as well.
> What surprised when I first learned about it : Germany only has a minimum wage since 2015 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_wage_in_Germany

That's because historically this was managed through ubiquitous trade unions and collective agreements. The need for a legal minimum wage increased due to the rise in contract / temp work, and US corporations moving in (notably Amazon whose approach to labour relations has been distinctively american).
I don't think the problem are rich people. I think the problem is probably poor people who try to extract more from the system ( by touring all food banks for example ). But you can always ask them ( the food banks ) if you are so skeptical.

2 other anecdata's :

In the US, people are converting their food stamps into soda, because soda is more tradeable ( more liquid ) than anything else. They sell it to SMBs to convert foodstamps into money.

I frequent the second hand stores which are partially aimed at the same group. They sell stuff, furniture, electronics and clothes for very low prices ( think € 3 to € 5 for a pair of pants, € 20 for a TV etc ). These shops use very very very adhesive price tags, to the point I need solvents to remove them.

I asked them about it : do people really try to switch price tags on € 3 items? Yes they do.
It's not exactly a worldwide conspiracy of landlords, because there's not a single table gathering them all to drive this plan. But there is a great amount of coordination between landlords and local politicians in the process of gentrification.

Gentrification is something a single owner can't achieve, and that a disorganized group of owners can't achieve. It requires a strong coordination with public authority to deploy efforts to "clean the neighborhood", "evict squats and replace them with nice-looking artistic venues" or "setup new transport connections".

> Reduced supply

I'd like to see evidence of that. Despite their glaring architectural issues, many public housing programs in Europe after WWII have led to cheap housing for many people. Here in France public housing in big cities, my approximation is that public housing rents are 10-40% the private market rents.

Also, the waiting lists are long nowadays (was not already the case) because our governments are dismantling public housing programs and slowly privatizing anything.

Finally, why would "reduced supply" matter when there's already an abundance of empty apartments/houses? Without even mentioning vacant office space which is a scandal on its own, there's millions of empty living spaces in the global north. According to official french gov. statistics it's 2.6M empty apartments.

You thought social services didn't have it's share of racists ? They see never ending misery (because if the misery stops they stop seeing the people), and they must have an explanation.

Obviously they have the same demands for an explanation as society at large: they themselves are perfect (for example, these kids go to school, so they can be taught German, it just doesn't happen), so the explanation must be something else. It can't be them, themselves. It can't be the support structure. It can't be society around them (even though one just exposed himself as somewhat of a racist). So who is left? Homeowners, banks, that sort of thing if they're generous. The immigrants and their backwards ways must just cause it themselves! (and I might agree: in some cases that's true. Generally it's not)

It's like youth services. They generally blame what happens to kids ... on the kids. And if not on the kids, then on the parents. The most generous will blame the most useless blame of all "society". Never themselves. Despite research pointing out that the many "missed" kids (who stay with abusive parents) have a far better life than foster kids. In other words: even when you can prove that it is the social workers themselves CAUSING misery, they will still blame anyone else.

And in Germany, like in many other places, give a try to finding an Arabic-language German course book for cheap, through social services. Go ahead, give that a try. That doing so is so very hard, of course, has nothing to do with immigrants failing to learn.

In this case, wider adoption (e.g. payments) will inevitably lead to USD hyperinflation. If onramp is not heavily regulated then you are giving up control of the money supply. Hard to not expect.
"So for a mostly self-interested individual in a rural area with a low chance of catching COVID, would it follow that the safest (but maybe selfish) bet is to wait many years?"

It would be fine strategy for Hepatatis B, for example, however delta COVID is so infectious that most people will get it, vaccinated or unvaccinated (with currently available vaccines). The only difference will be severity of the disease.
So basically “fuck you, I got mine”?
Maybe what is needed is regulation that makes the service provider liable (with no option to disclaim it) for all damages suffered by the victim if the provider gives away their phone number to an attacker.
This seems like a good assessment. Personally I don't plan on avoiding COVID for the next 10 years nor do I even live in a rural area. Hypothetical.

I don't fully agree with the last paragraph. I mean I think if you're charitable you can alter the analogy a little bit to make it fit. I agree that there is no "vaccine" sub-unit, but let's say the equivalent is temporarily changing a data structure that is read by service A, not thinking about service B. Or not fully examining the flow on effects from service A etc.

Thank you, makes sense.
This is the big difference. People pick up on this nonsense quite fast. I don’t mind companies being cold in their layoffs, but don’t pretend you are a warm/friendly company when you aren’t. If you what you are as a company is different from what you say, you create a big rift. Companies can go down just by that attitude (seen it happen a couple of times)
If I had gone through a number of workplaces in six years, interacted with hundreds of people and potentially liked no more than three, I would probably sit down and do some introspection.

"Nobody talks about other advantages on well being, only about your weight."

It is well established and recognized that not only does exercise improve brain health, it reduces the likelihood of several illnesses including many kinds of cancer.

If a person talks about nothing statistically speaking except weight they are either clueless or using "weight reduction" as an umbrella term for life style changes that improve the general wellbeing and may or may not reduce weight as well.

Obesity is certainly statistically very much correlated with several illnesses but if we are concerned with general wellbeing it is not the full story.
I am okay with generics as long as they are not affecting compile time. I love Go for blazing fast builds and testing and afraid generics will degrade it. Otherwise, generics are adding some cognitive complexity to code, but I don't have to use them and will just occasionaly have to figure them out in libraries.

Indeed.

We're rehashing all of the same arguments from 2020. The Southern States peak earlier in the year for respiratory viruses due to latitude:

https://youtu.be/013L9J7WhuU

So what's happening in the South now is a preview of what will happen in the Northern States, perhaps even worse since the vaccines will further drop in effectiveness due to time duration (hence the need for 'boosters').
While your are forgetting long COVID, I'll have a go at it.

A lot of people on Sweden are vaccinated.

Hospitals know better on how to handle covid.

As always, the danger comes when hospitals are overpopulated.

Ps. What's the source of your % ? Is it case fatality rate ( CFR ), crude fatality rate or infection fatality rate?
This. There are thousands of people with Teslas they bought a couple years ago who were sold on a promise of fully autonomous driving. They were told that in the not too distant future, they could sleep at home while their car was out at its job as a part of the autonomous taxi fleet, driving other people where they needed to go by itself, earning them a living!

I’m not sure how many people bought the hyperbole, but the lies and misrepresentation was criminal.
"Yes, that is why long term studies are done. Vaccine as a methodology has been proven effective. Many diseases are non-existent now thanks to it."

But aren't the new vaccines of a different kind? Genetically engeneered?

So I too had my doubts, before getting the shot. And I still do. But what I do know for example is, that I had strong side effects after the first dose. And also strong side effects just before my second shot of Astra. In other words, the mind is a strong factor here and the body is used to deal with alien dna all the time, so I do not worry too much about long term effects.
Silicon Valley in the short-term will be fine, and yes it took a while for Detroit to crumble. The Bay Area clearly isn't New York City - do people live here for the work, or play? :)
Could you elaborate? I grew up in Germany in the 90s, and I think from a US perspective, describing what I would call the German reluctance towards credit cards as "extreme" seems about right.

As in, your bank doesn't try to push credit cards on you constantly, you have to ask in restaurants and shops if they take credit cards, etc.
It's hardly defensible, but since the neoliberal turn in the 80s/90s most global north governments have started to dismantle their public services. That's why they're not working on both sides of the equation: because governments work directly against the interest of the people. Governments and elections are the exact opposite of democracy, because it's delegating powers to representatives instead of exerting "power of the people, by the people, for the people".
We are already wiping out in the order of a species a day, usually in an unplanned, "oops" fashion: https://naturalhistory.si.edu/education/teaching-resources/p.... Killing a few more in a planned, methodical fashion after having evaluated their use and harm won't make a lot of difference. Any big "disturbance of the ecosystems" is either already occuring or will fix itself over time. I think the risks are minimal, because we are still alive after all the damage we did already.
At least people aren’t naming their daughters after programming languages yet.
In the same line of thinking: I always wonder why people look bad at you if you suggest to use an event bus or dispatch events on an element but it is totally fine to dispatch actions in redux. I don't see the difference other than one being cool and the other being "old".
The basic assumption is that if M1 talks with F1 for a long time, and M2 talks with F1 for a long time then M1 and M2 will talk for a long time.

Assuming it's based on hetero dating type situations, you can see why this wouldn't work. But there could be many other factors in play also. For example, if the M's above were talkers and the F's above were listeners, of any gender, you can see that two talkers or two listeners would not have a long conversation. But a talker and a listener is a good pair.

Instead they should look at this. If M1 talks to F1 and F2 for a long time, and M2 talks to F1 for a long time, then will M2 talk with F2 for a long time?

I think this would have a better chance of working.
In rust you have to swallow an error quite explicitly. In go it’s extremely easy to swallow one "err”, by assigning to some previous one which was already checked.

Most of physics is not a great counter-example to learning by invention. There are several ways to derive Newton's three laws. It's a fun exercise in Lagrangian mechanics.

Perhaps quantization or the curvature of space would be better examples as they require prior knowledge of experimental data (assuming we ignore proposed philosophical arguments that stray a bit too far from physics imho.)
