The facebook posts typically reference one of several organised groups of hundreds of working doctors, some of whom claim to have directly observed high levels of concerningly-serious adverse reaction, even among small sample groups (eg, small town doctors who vaccinated many in the town).

If a doctor is recommending you don't take it based on their experience and expertise, it carries a bit more weight than "something you read on facebook". And if you can't trust doctors now, who may even be your own doctor, why would you trust anyone else, or "some other doctor"?

This is not something that can be resolved by bullying or mandates. It can only be resolved by open dialogue and debate between the two sides, which thus far, has been prevented.

Censorship and stifling of debate only hardens the opinions of either side.

It also makes no sense - many areas have massive resistance, no matter what has been thrown at them - proving the fear of "if we let them talk freely they'll influence others and go off and do whatever they want!" isn't founded. Basic human psychology, along with experience, shows the reverse has proven true.

If you stop people who are suspicious of something from being able to talk about what they're suspicious of, they get even more suspicious of it.

Certainly, there is no other time in history widespread censorship has resulted in anything other than widespread division, suspicion and ultimately, violence.

If employers mandate based on this approval, it will likely just result in mass walk-outs.

I think it probably makes more sense if you’re in the Node universe (and Dahl created the thing). If your window for the state of the art is… the range of what Node and its immediate surroundings can do, then Deno probably seems like a marked improvement. While people (well, me) look from the outside and think: This is how far you moved on a clean slate? Then you consider waiting for the ecosystem to mature (considering the mess the JavaScript has been and has only recently been slowing down) and go, “Ehh.”

I don’t mean to denigrate; Node and Deno (already) are far bigger success stories than I’ll ever have.

18 USC 1001 says (in part):

I took J&J and I agree with you. Why can't be people be scared. I don't judge anyone who won't take the vaccine.

I will say that we should have focused more on treatments instead of vaccines and then had a more traditional vaccine built on proven technology. Then we could have gotten everyone protected at the same time, stopping the variants.

> the first thing any project is going to do is enable all of that

I'm sure many (most) will but the point is that for those who do care about security, Deno offers them the option of running their server app with such features selectively enabled according to need.

> it's coupled to Microsoft's take on Javascript

Deno supports Javascript too so there's no tight coupling here. It's also a second well-supported widely-used independent implementation of microsoft's syntax, which is no hard guarantee of anything but bodes well if vendor lock-in is a concern.

> What about Flow

Flow is significantly less popular so this decision seems understandable. I cannot see Deno being as popular as it is now if they had opted for Flow.

Also, while Flow has some advantages, it's a lot less expressive and most reviews of both prefer TS for quite well-argued objective reasons.

I don't think that's perfectly done. I was hiking on the North Shore in Vancouver and there's a sign over a stream warning about untreated sewage. If it's a problem in the one of the biggest and wealthiest cities, I can easily see it being an issue in smaller towns.

In very rural areas, especially on reservations, I believe water and sewage treatment is an ongoing issue.
The thing is, I don't think there's any democratic country where there's an actual "vaccine mandate". Nobody there is forcing anyone to get vaccinated. It's done through "Corona passports".

And on top of that, countries like Denmark have much higher levels of social trust than countries like the US.
It's quite a bit worse than npm.

Without bare module specifiers (like `import {html} from 'lit-html'`) to act as an abstraction over location you have to import directly from a URL, but what URL? Packages either have to be self-hosted, or very often npm packages are loaded via CDNs. There are several CDNs that host the same packages (unpkg, Skypack, jspm, jsDelivr/esm.run) so there's no single canonical URL to load anything from and each module that loads a package could load from a different CDN, or simply load a slightly different but compatible version, causing multiple copies of the packages to be loaded.

There's a huge benefit to abstracting over package names, and Deno mostly throws it all away. It does support import maps, but you'd need tooling that doesn't fully exist yet to crawl and dedupe a module graph and at that point it'd basically be npm but a lot slower with no registry to use for metadata.

It's really not difficult at all to see how "public health" taking precedence over anything can very easily lead to government overreach that is unwarranted.

I get frustrated with antivaxxers not necessarily because they are against mandates, but because their arguments for not getting vaccinated are complete and utter nonsense.

> yeah but mostly node is used as a server software.

As a frontend dev, I use node tooling every day that has nothing to do with server code.

> Python is much better as 'general purpose'

Node is just fine for general purpose. I use it for shell scripting without any difficulty. Working with async in JS is a dream compared to most languages, and although I rarely use dependencies, when you need `em, node has a great ecosystem.

That said, I am 100% sold on Deno. Secure by default might not matter for server code that is going to have a couple of instances of it running, but the need to enable explicit flags for insecure APIs means that people who don't know how (or care) to read the code can use your program knowing that it literally can't access their filesystem or whatever.

Beyond that, Deno uses Promises for async. Node was built before promises and many APIs rely on callbacks vs promises. It also has the ability to compile to an executable.

But the number one for me is that the APIs mirror the browser APIs. This makes it much easier to extend frontend knowledge to building my own tooling.
Yeah, if your needs are simple enough and your clients are small, MQTT is a good choice. Two or three XMPP servers even have built-in MQTT bridges for supporting very lightweight clients.

From what I've seen, XMPP is used in IoT more for the federation aspect rather than as the "last mile" to the sensors/devices. Cases where you need interoperability and security across different sites/organizations.

In any case, the Modern XMPP project (this article) currently only focuses on XMPP for the IM use-case.
Yeah, what you did was not smart. If you're being pulled over for a minor traffic infraction and you already know that you're guilty, simply admitting to it is usually the best option. I've gotten out of many tickets this way, because cops really do appreciate when you're not trying to BS them.

I was also pulled over once and accused of running a stop sign that I knew I didn't run, because I had seen the cop sitting there as I pulled up to the stop sign and made extra sure to completely stop. Due to the time of day, I believe he was (illegally) fishing for a DUI stop, and had considered filing a complaint with the department but never did.
In this scenario, you're seeking a job for which a clearance is a prerequisite.

In this world, people with jobs are being fired for not getting vaccinated. It's not a small cohort either; it's the government and giant corporate entities.

There are a few notable exceptions, though, of employers that are not mandating vaccination. Pfizer, for one. The White House, for another. When the pharma that makes the thing, and the POTUS, who is making vaccination priority #1, don't require it, that is some laughably awful PR.
I’d love a programming competition that wasn’t about speed of implementing algorithms, but rather was about speed of implementing solutions, using a provided standard library of algorithms and data structures.

Here ya go in Texas:

So yes it is overwhelming hospitals. Even if you're vaccinated, this should scare you.
>While the odds of harm in who you directly transmit the virus to might be lower than the odds of you hurting someone drunk driving

You've introduced a new assumption though: that a unvaccinated person has and transmits covid. You must apply the probabilities to that initial assumption as well. Probability of having covid * probability of transmitting covid * probability that the person you transmit to has series harm done.

>Also vaccine requirements aren’t anything new

This is an argument that I've also seen but think appeals to "well we've been doing something similar already." I don't think that justification holds much water, especially in this time period where we are questioning a lot of foundational social assumptions.

To your direct question about bar for acceptance, I think people can generally establish a good bar, but they have to be given accurate probabilities, and those have been hidden from us in favor of vague fear mongering.
I think you should look at it the other way around, assuming you are already using a mature version of Deno it most probably wouldn't make sense to switch to something like NodeJS:

- Why using CommonJS over standard ESM modules?

- Why using a package manager like NPM? Browsers don't have package managers, my code can run on the client without something like NPM, why should it be any different on the server?

- Why having callback-based APIs in a world of promises and async/await?

- Why having node-only APIs when today standardized browser equivalents exists?

- For better or for worse as far as I'm concerned TypeScript is the de-facto successor of JavaScript, especially if you need to work on big codebases. Flow is irrelevant outside of Facebook. If something better pops up Deno could adopt that too or you could just compile that to JS yourself and Deno would work with it already. As things stand currently other compile-to-JS languages are way less important than TS.

- Servers aren't the only kind of application that can be written on top of Deno, why on earth would I want eslint to be able to have access to the network or spawn child processes? Or even have global read/write access to my whole disk? Deno's model is a much better default than Node's from a security perspective. You can't even install something from NPM with reasonable certainty that that won't nuke your computer.

Essentially switching from Node to Deno may not seem like an obvious improvement, but it is in many ways, switching from Deno to Node has only drawbacks basically, if you don't consider Node's advantage in ecosystem size I can't imagine why anybody would switch from Deno to Node in the future.

Maybe not as productive as they used to be if the rents are down.

Nevertheless, 8.5 million is a small cohort relative to 300+ million, and if they're the "most productive" then they're not representative of the median-productivity experience that matters on a national scale.

For what it's worth, I think this concentration of high-profit business in the Bay Area may be (finally) coming to an end with the ascendance of remote work, which may be a factor in the locally declining rents.
