I perfectly accept that CEO pay in general is completely out-of-wack with anything anyone would consider reasonable, and agree that being paid $750mil is nuts.

What I take issue with is the idea that companies and boards are making irrational, or economically illiterate, decisions by paying CEO this amount. I just don’t think that argument stacks up.

As you say yourself boards don’t tend to be very good at picking executives, and may of them are probably aware of that. So why rock the boat when you’ve got a CEO who’s performing.

If you want to talk about the social consequences of CEO pay, that’s a different story. I would be quite happy to support the idea of CEO pay caps linked the lowest paid employee (I leave the question of what qualifies as an employee as an exercise for the reader). But I think that’s a very different argument to an economic argument.

Been using windows 11 for a bit for a while on the dev channel. Seems fine. Only thing that annoyed me was the context menu. I think fairly recently they added the "more options" which expands it to have everything that was there before which is slightly annoying but still fine. Overall I think 10 felt kind of amateurish and perhaps even a bit gaudy and I think 11 looks better. I prefer the new start menu as well.

> TUBA

This was brought up in another part of the thread. I'm copy-pasting my reply:

---

From the RFC (emphasis added):

> The long term goal of the TUBA proposal involves transition to a worldwide Internet which operates much as the current Internet, but with CLNP replacing IP and with NSAP addresses replacing IP addresses.

[…]

In §3 Migration:

> Updated Internet hosts talk to old Internet hosts using the current Internet suite unchanged. Updated Internet hosts talk to other updated Internet hosts using (TCP or UDP over) CLNP. This implies that updated Internet hosts must be able to send either old-style packets (using IP), or new style packet (using CLNP). Which to send is determined via the normal name-to-address lookup.

So you're replacing IPv4 with something that is not-IPv4 on every router and every host. During the transition period everyone will have IPv4 and not-IPv4 addresses.

How is not-IPv4 being CLNP/NSAP any different that not-IPv4 being IPv6? What am I missing?

In §6 on DNS:

> TUBA requires that a new DNS resource record entry type ("long-address") be defined, to store longer Internet (i.e., NSAP) addresses.

Which is basically describing AAAA records.

In many countries, it’s common to have hundreds, even thousands of customers behind a single carrier-level CGNAT. This obviously prevents a lot of functionality from working.

In Germany, we’ve got enough IPv4s that every customer can have their own one, while e.g. in Asia CGNAT and IPv6 are long common.

You might be interested in Zig[1]. Allocation is manual. Standard library containers and functions require an allocator to be passed to them, so nothing allocates on the heap unless it's explicitly told to. Cleanup can be done at end of scope via defer / errdefer.

Seamless interop with C, even when cross compiling which Zig handles natively: the standard install of Zig comes with a "zig cc" wrapper around clang that allows you to cross compile[2][3] C and zig code for any number of target architectures (it includes C standard library headers and code for them).

Zig is the only language I've come across which functions perfectly as a better C.

> 2.5 billion people have had at least one vaccine.

Does that mean Lisa Shaw did not die? Or that we would still have known about the cause of her death if she were not well known?

Or, is the number of people who are vaccinated enough of a reason to ignore the concerns of people who got Covid19 and recovered?

How much of "long Covid19" due to horrendous treatment at hospitals of Covid19 patients with unnecessary intubations, severe isolation from friends and family, and the general medial establishment panic?

In the U.S., 95% of deaths with Covid19 are in people over 50. Covid19 accounts for 0.7% of deaths among people under 18.[1]

I am sure, the case surveillance data[2] has more interesting nuggets. So, given low risk to an otherwise well person who has not been living in complete isolation since March 2020 (there are a lot of them in the world), given the trend of increasing breakthrough infections and deaths, it is not obvious that averages are very meaningful to individual decision making.

Thanks, I remember seeing that one a few months ago.

I hope this doesn't come off too harshly but that demo feels like it's meant to showcase high requests per second, not be a representation of how a real application would perform. It's broadcasting a counter over a websocket connection. It feels very similar to the old 2 million websocket connection demo. In other words I can't use your demo to make a meaningful conclusion on how LV would perform in my app. Also according to dev tools your demo page takes 300ms for me to load it from NY but I get 10-15ms response times on many other sites in the north east region of the US. A 300ms page response is usually what I would get hitting a server in Australia. The initial page load feels very delayed to load, although the counter increment was lightning fast.

I like the idea of using Livebook as a test case because it's an actual application, it's something relatable to what you might build instead of something that feels like it was created in a vacuum to promote high numbers. Sort of like how you could benchmark nginx with a hello world response. It's cool to see the high numbers but it doesn't help folks understand how things would work in a real app.

Having a breakdown of the average and p95/p99 response times at 100, 500, 1000, 2000, 10000, 25000 and 100000 connections all sending messages at varying rates along with seeing CPU and memory usage on a certain tier of VPS would be amazingly useful. You could take that data and factor in how your app might deal with similar conditions.

We had to make and follow a deceptively simple rule: no shop talk. Before we agreed upon it, we had a huge problem with not being able to leave work at work. We weren't cultivating other interests and our conversations were getting stale, which didn't exactly do wonders for our sex life. Nowadays we turn off our computers and phones at 5:30pm and keep them off until 9:00am the next morning. Because we both tend to be obsessive, it was the only way to actually have lives and a mutually beneficial marriage.
In the past several years most of the burnout and wasted time I’ve experienced has come from libraries, frameworks, build/CI systems, architectural patterns, and so on that simply suck, or at the very least fail to properly work together. Unfortunately, they’re all mainstream technologies that people seem to think are perfectly okay, and that fighting against your tools simply in order to develop good solutions to the actual domain problems is just what coding is supposed to be.
I think you slightly overstate the problem.

Most of the time (in my practice, like 99% of the time) you don't have to care about nulling references. The objects that need collection are created in local scopes of functions, and get detached and ready for GC right when the function returns. When you have many small functions, this happens often, so unused objects don't spend much time being referenced and ineligible for GC.

The problematic part is long-living mutable structures, which you hopefully have few, and know well where they are in your code.

Also, as an exercise, I suggest that you try to imagine a Lisp with explicit memory management.

C# is a lovely language.

It also has quite a big standard library while not being 10 years behind everything like Java is.

It also has quite good performance (speaking in a web development context) compared to other popular choices like Ruby and Python.

MS is autoimmune. HIV/AIDS is a viral infection. The diseases and their treatments are night and day with respect to each other. If by "that disease" you are referring to an HIV infection, then yes, complications from HIV often kill people. If you are referring to MS, not so much, relatively speaking. One study found that people with MS live to be 75.9 years old, on average, compared to 83.4 years old for those without.
> Even after features or products are deemed to have little to no value, teams keep them around for ages instead of responsibly removing them. The most common argument we hear is, “This [small subset] customer [sic] regularly uses the feature and we’ll lose out, if we remove it.” Instead of associating unshipping with the traditional ‘What do we lose?‘ perspective, let’s reframe to a ‘What do we gain?‘ perspective. After all, unshipping can actually improve product metrics.

Being on the other end of this, maybe it's great for the business to streamline things and save costs, but as a user it's not fun having a feature I am using disappear because I am part of only a small group using it. Instead of saying 'what do we lose' (nothing except perhaps a few customers ... if the customers have an option to move platforms, which often they don't) what does the customer using the feature lose? What's our plan to replace their use case with something more efficient?

You haven't read the replied upthread where people use research like this to suggest "Corona parties" (like chickenpox parties) and how many people think it's safer to catch the virus than get the vaccine?

This article will absolutely not just be used by already-infected people trying to make a decision.
Ah of course! Thank you.
The discussion on that post seems to support the grandparent, not you. Also, the article it's talking about says

> The new evidence shows that protective antibodies generated in response to an mRNA vaccine will target a broader range of SARS-CoV-2 variants carrying “single letter” changes in a key portion of their spike protein compared to antibodies acquired from an infection.

I.e. the current vaccines are not laser-focused, but are in fact less focused than a natural infection response, meaning they're better at covering against variants.

The most charitable read I can think of for your comments is that you're taking "immunity" to mean only the absolute you-cannot-catch-this-at-all level. Whereas the vaccines (and natural immunity) work far more on a gradient -- your immune system is primed to fight the disease off, and so your outcome at every stage is better than it would otherwise have been.

The general plan was, and is still, to stop using v4 once it stops being useful, in much the same way that people stopped using IPX when it stopped being useful. (By which I mean: people still use IPX today, but in general you don't need to think about it.)

You can do private networks on v6; there's a massive range allocated for them (fc00::/7).

In general, v6 is designed just fine. Most of the complaints you see are from people that either don't know what v6 can do ("why didn't they just implement <thing that v6 already does>?") or don't realize that what they want is impossible ("why not just ignore the pigeonhole principle?").

I don't disagree with it being relevant but if one reads just the title of this article and had previously been infected they may believe they do not need to be vaccinated, but that isn't the case.

According to this study folks who were infected previously are more than 2x as likely to be reinfected than those who were previously infected and then vaccinated:

Mum wanted to do but was kind of scared - ended up being one of the first ones in the country to get because of her job. Dad wasn't going to do it,never spoke about why,etc. Sister and her husband categorically refuse to vaccinate ( she's in pharmaceutical industry+ some weird religious thinking going on). I did it as soon as I could. I kept arguing with my sister for ages about it and eventually thought for my self: screw it, we are all adults,I don't neither energy nor need for this, you do it your way. Dad got vaccinated recently and when I asked why he finally decided to do it, he said that he won't be able to keep his job without it.
Yes.

This is my middle-ground solution for Python: https://github.com/bdowning/sql-athame

Still fundamentally manipulating SQL text (which is a feature as I don't want to learn a full DSL), but it handles wrangling embedded placeholders while you're composing stuff and some other common compositional tasks.

Not an original concept regardless; my original version of this was in Node: https://github.com/bdowning/sql-assassin, but a few years after I wrote that (and mostly didn't use it) I found https://github.com/gajus/slonik which was very similar and much more fleshed-out; I rolled _some_ of its concepts and patterns into sql-athame.

If you develop covid-19 symptomatic disease after vaccination, you will likely still get natural immunity.

The immune system "doing something" is why you feel sick.

The vaccine fighting the virus doesn't make you feel sick because it's just antibodies clumping on virus particles, preventing them from infecting cells.
