Consider that you open a fridge twice for each glass of milk (if you do it right and close the door after retrieving the milk jug), and that his family is possibly bigger than yours, and 44 times/day doesn't really seem crazy at all.
AMEN. You can write terrible code in any programming language. I know because I’ve done it. You can write kickass code in any* programming language. I know because I’ve done it.

Language elitism is a useful metric in that it can serve to indicate an inexperienced and/or arrogant developer. I used to do this when I was younger and less experienced, but when you really start seeing the larger world and all the stuff out there, good and bad, you start to realize the language is almost never the problem. It’s nearly always your own ignorance. And that should humble you enough to realize that doing things in a different way than your preference isn’t necessarily bad or wrong, and there’s almost always context behind bad code you’re unaware of (usually business/political pressures). Under the same circumstances, you’d probably make similar mistakes and trade offs - maybe even worse.

Humility is the gateway to knowledge.

* Except brainfuck. The name tells you all you need to know.
It is a core language feature as of Ada95. Ada, unlike most other languages generates calls into the standard library to implement complex features, controlled types and tasks are two such features. And no, I don't mean generating simple calls to compiler intrinsics.
Because the whole build process to produce a MSIX or APPX requires a little more, like the whole Windows SDK, plus whatever might be fetch via NuGET via MSBuild, and the process to sign the packages?
To me programming is more of an art than a science. To find a corollary what are some bad artistic mediums? What is a bad human language to write poetry in, or a novel?
I work with Ada professionally and there's a lot to love about it. However, I have one big gripe that constantly gives me problems. It has nothing to do with the myths in the articles, but it's rare that I get to talk about this language so I'm taking my opportunity.

Ada's syntax makes differentiating variables/arrays from functions unnecessarily difficult. This is because parentheses are used for both function calls and array accesses. And function calls without parameters do not require parentheses at all.

Lets play a game. See if you can figure out which is a variable, array, or function.

A := B;
C := D;
E := F(G);
H := I(J);

A, B, C, E, H, and J are variables. F is an array. D, G, and I are functions.

The only way to really tell what's what in many cases is to look up definitions. That would be fine... except there is very little competition for Ada IDEs. I use AdaCore's GNAT Pro Studio (GPS), but the interface is clunky and often very slow compared to modern JetBrains IDEs.

This syntax issue is a constant frustration and it's something which could have very easily been avoided.
You can make this argument about literally anything. Should your tires contain GPS trackers and share that info with their manufacturer on the off chance that you sped, drove on the wrong surface, or there was a manufacturing defect that could possibly lead to an accident?

This shit needs to stop. It's getting out of hand fast. In just a few years, literally every powered device we own will be logging video, sound, location, and network traffic in real time continuously. What's to stop equifax from leveraging all this new info for credit reports? Insurance companies for premiums? Lawyers for civil defense? Class action lawsuits? Police? Divorce proceedings?

We are not heading in a good direction here. A police state is bad in and of itself, but swapping the police with a "free and unregulated market" is infinitely worse.

HIPAA enables and restricts data collection, storage, and sharing but in general you consented to it.

A current problem with HIPAA is that the consent forms do not clearly enough describe what is being agreed to such that someone can’t make an informed decision and there really isn’t an option to say “no” to things and still receive care without going somewhere else.

HIPAA also does not require consent to sharing “deidentified” data which has been shown many times to be relatively easy to unmask to discover who the records belong to.

Basically it needs updates from technical and privacy focused people but that’s a hard sell when people don’t really know how things work.
"no spread" is R=0.
Vaccinated people are spreading it to vaccinated people as well as unvaccinated. Assuming that vaccinated people don't know that they get it we have essentially created a big cesspool for the virus to spread undetected.

Luckily that's a bad assumption because the vaccines are so bad that they aren't even protecting people from getting very ill.

No, French institution in the late 90s. At that time, common choices for beginner languages were C/C++, which weren't that great compared to Ada. Usual criticism was that Ada wasn't mainstream but I think it was a good pedagogical choice nonetheless (and it's not like we're learning only one programming language anyway). It taught me to think in terms of abstract data types without the added complexity of class-based languages.

Eventually, they switched to Java who became popular around that time.

Drunk driving is illegal, as is smoking in public places (with very broad definitions of "public") - I have no idea what you're on about "sexual immorality", although I would point to the horrific law passed in Texas, as well as many of the terrible laws governing our sex lives. Most of those laws aren't because they hurt people, but because people want to tell other people what to do.
Right. Anyone passing by can look at employees' monitors. So they feel the pressure to "look busy" at all times - not much difference from open office.
You might have known already, But to those who don't; NetGuard is very configurable it can log just network access or do packet level filtering and although it obviously increases the battery usage, android misattributes battery usage of apps which access network to NetGuard.
Yeah, if you want to do calisthenics then the best thing to do is to follow a calisthenics routine. Some yoga routines have a decent amount of calisthenics in them, many don't. Also, progression is going to be much better with a good calisthenics routine - most yoga routines and classes have a very poor sense of progression.

Same goes for stretching as well. A good stretching routine is going to get you much more flexible faster than doing yoga. Yoga has stretching in it, but again, it's unfocused and tends to have a very poor sense of progression.

Yoga is probably more akin to a sport. You can keep fit by playing sports, depending on how much work you put into it. But if you're trying to build strength, cardio, or flexibility, you're going to get much better results with a routine that focuses on those.

I am going to send this particular comment to anyone who wonders why workers do not want to go back in.
There are too many laws. The other effect it has is that it cements Amazon. Any other startup that tries to compete, even in a small way, Amazon now has a new legal tactic to shut-down competitors by making sure they get drowned in all the legal mumbo jumbo.
Authoritarian governments have killed millions of people too. Civil liberties shouldn’t be hand waved as a sort of a selfish privilege when most of them were written in blood after terrible wars and periods of oppression.
> Developers don't like complexity.

This may be true, but they also can't resist it's temptation.

As long as we build tools that are composable, developers will continue to build complexity on top of them. I fear that json's fate is sealed.
The point is what Zig offers, versus what C and C++ have been offering for at least 25 years, regardless of the tooling being commercial or not.
Same (introvert).

I switched back to WFH last year (permanently) and it's been amazing.
The problem is not that they can't spy on you as an individual. The problem is that they can spy on everyone all the time. And then later use an arbitrary amount of historical data to do whatever they want. I'd rather not see that any government becomes omniscient about the past.
History can tell us about historical vaccines, not new ones, especially mRNA vaccines.
No, I’m saying that when faced with the choice between comfort and difficulty, many people in the past chose difficulty. To insist that they would trade their religious beliefs, for example, for internet and Uber eats is rather myopic.
Even glass rooms would distract me. I just get a distracting tension in my brain which steals like 20% of brain power whenever I have to think about how what I have on my screen could be perceived by a random person walking by.

> waiting for ICU beds

Not saying this isn't happening, but the phrasing here is a little disingenuous - there are plenty of beds, just not enough doctors and nurses to staff them. And why is that? In many cases, it's because the doctors and nurses themselves refuse to take an experimental vaccine and are being furloughed or terminated.

my group did this probably 20 years ago. the general feedback from researchers is that being "inside" a molecule isn't that useful, because in most cases, the inside is fully packed and non-functional, while the surface is where all the action is.
In this case, as with most conspiracy theories regarding COVID, QANON, JFK, and more, "critical thinking" that supports the conspiratorial narrative has diminishing returns to scale.

Not having the tools to perform your job is something that very directly effects your productivity though, the case for applying that same rationale to sitting in a floor plan you don’t like is much less convincing. I’m sure it would increase productivity for some people, but I’m also sure it would decrease it for others. People who are widely relied upon by other people would surely show an increase in productivity by some measurements if interrupted less. But people who who widely rely upon others to get their tasks done would surely take a hit. I’m not convinced that the aggregate productivity change would be significant, and I’m quite certain that it wouldn’t be significant enough to justify the costs.

The other area we considered it to be beneficial (which I forgot to mention), was that we hypothesised it would decrease turnover (and all the costs associated with that). We never got to measure that, so I can’t tell you how much you might reasonably expect it to change things. But our estimates put the number as being rather trivial overall.

Sounds like that company was considering some luxurious offices. I'd be satisfied with my cubicle walls going to the ceiling and a simple door. The goal is privacy/focus. Hell if I was allowed I would get some plywood and hinges from home depot and install them myself over the weekend.
What could they do though? Raspberry Pi only exists because there are hundreds of millions of Arm CPUs being built for phones and tablets, and a tiny fraction of these end up in SBCs. The sheer volume means each chip can be had for a few dollars. There is no such ecosystem for RISC-V yet. The largest known order was AllWinner/T-Head (reportedly 5 million through TSMC).
Auto-aiming bow that tracks moving targets
Instead of emotionally reducing it to "don't kill grandma" you could join a reasonable discourse on the topic and look at other factors like...

The at-risk can get vaccinated - healthy youth don't get hospitalized - there are antibody and drug therapeutics available - youth don't need to risk novel vaccine adverse affects (they are documented - they are more prevalent in young than old) - you still spread it equally significantly vaccinated or not - the vaccine does not give robust coverage against new strains - natural immunity gives far more robust coverage against new strains than the vaccine (almost suggesting exposure for the low-risk is a better societal outcome).

Hand waving "all youth must get vaccinated" is not a rational course of action.
It's a bit disingenuous to omit that they showed even higher protection in those who had previous infection and a vaccine.

The time wasted trying to confirm a previous infection would be better used just getting a jab.

> Parser writing and dumping of data is equally complex for both JSON and XML.

Strongly disagree. Sure, you can make XML which is easy to parse, but parsing arbitrary XML is hard. Namespaces (and their short prefixes), and custom entities are something that fly in my face any time I use XML but simply do not exist in JSON.

Dumping is usually OK but again, I've seen XML libraries replace short namespace prefixes with full URLs when dumping, making simple documents unreadable.
It's called insulin shots. They're not cheap your side of the Atlantic.
There's a difference between not touching something and training is less. Weightlifting touches on all three of those things ("flexibility" is usually called range of motion w/r/t weightlifting though).

>The Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce issued a calendar for tourists, listing the scheduled times of the bomb detonations and the best places to view them. The Sky Room at the Desert Inn, offering a panoramic view of the Nevada horizon, was a favorite watch spot of tourists, as was nearby Mount Charleston. Many tourists packed "atomic box lunches" and had picnics as close to ground zero as the government restrictions would allow. On the eve of detonations, many Las Vegas businesses held "Dawn Bomb Parties." Beginning at midnight, guests would drink and sing until the flash of the bomb lit up the night sky.

>For twelve years, an average of one bomb every three weeks was detonated, at a total of 235 bombs. Flashes from the explosions were so powerful that they could reportedly be seen from as far away as Montana.

Long story short, QBism inherits "agent" from Bayesian decision theory. In that context, we talk about gamblers making bets on the outcomes of dice rolls. In QBism, we talk about scientists making bets on the outcomes of measurements. What exactly can be a "gambler?" Can a dog gamble? What about a trained dog? Or a flea? The answer is: if the shoe fits, wear it. Same goes for QBism. If a dog walks into a lab, lights up a pipe, scribbles equations on the blackboard and starts aligning beamsplitters, then QBism regards him as an agent.
Interesting question. If this succeeded beyond my wildest dreams I’d expect the main impact to be on data analysts and freeing up their time to be spent on more in-depth projects rather than one-off requests.

In general I suspect AI tools like Codex will have a large impact on other technical roles like SWEs and DBAs, but I won’t try to predict exactly what that will look like.

I'm not certain I'm using VAERS correctly, but it looks to me as if there are 2,292 death reports associated with Pfizer's vaccine in the US alone, or 321 if I specify ages below 60. Whatever number of reports there are in VAERS is likely to be a small fraction of the true total.

This post brought to you some crazy number of minutes late due to rate limiting.
A compromise that I’ve found to make open floor plans work for me, is L-shaped desks. I don’t need a cubicle, but an L-shaped desk gives me the personal space that lets me focus. Unfortunately in my experience, companies are more interested in saving money by cramming us in, than providing a healthy environment to get work done, and L-shaped desks are rare.

Disingenuous comment. The law they passed does not forbid the expression of other viewpoints on the right to abortion.

With your reasoning, any law passed, ever, would be forbidding the expression of the opposing viewpoint - which would be pretty major, no?
Nice funding scheme you have here. Develop a threat, write it up as if you're researching it for prevention. The more you work on it, the bigger the threat will get, the more money you can ask for to research "prevention" in the future. This is literally how a lot of this sort of research works.
