The question - What's the experience and how / if they dealt with it.

I am not looking for any advice on how to deal with this situation, I am influential and at a senior role as well.

But I wanted to hear experience that other's have had.

The syntax is quite ... complex, I dare say. It looks like you borrowed from Haskell, which already makes it hard to gain an intuitive understanding of the syntax and added bars?
I think you misunderstood, I have just made an analogy with BASiC. BASIC is normally a language that students used to implement when they are dealing with compiler topics. The fact is because BASIC is simple to learn and implement in the universe of structural languages. So, what I am saying is that you can do the same thing with Pompom, but of course, aiming at people that have at least a little experience with functional programming and type systems.
Do people in NZ normally buy stuff through the US Amazon website? Is that because there are more options/better pricss?

Senior software engineer, with experience in SaaS full-stack delivery, platform engineering, and distributed systems.

Particularly interested in developer experience and tooling, or building products that bring joy to the user! I'm passionate about mentoring and collaboration, technical excellence, and making sure that technical decisions serve the business and the user, rather than the other way around.
The wadokei mechanism reminds me that before electronics, to automatically turn lights on and off at sunset and sunrise, mechanical "astronomic timers" were used; I believe they don't use beetle-shaped gears, but instead cams, and are adjustable for the latitude.

Edit: here's a disassembly of a fixed-latitude version - there is a vaguely beetle-shaped cam visible at 18:20. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i_vfsuCpJY
No, it doesn't take a lot of effort to lose weight. Cut out sugared drinks for a start. How does drinking water instead of sugary crap take effort? Then stop shoving candy into your gob. How does that take effort? Then stop eating fast food. Then fast completely one day a week. When your body is accustomed to that, do it two days a week.

It is not hard to lose weight. The truth is, people just don't want to not do the things that make them fat.

Covid has hit those countries hardest that are most obese. Maybe those countries should take a good, hard look at their own, sick cultures and stop trying to export their disease around the world.
Two things I learned that were game-changers in setting up and managing Wireguard on Linux:

* The semantics and behavior of AllowedIPs. In itself, it means what IPs are allowed to be routed through the tunnel (that is, IPs "on the other end"). wg-quick will, additionally, add routes to these, but that's not part of Wireguard itself.

* systemd-networkd has native support for Wireguard netdevs and networks. It's pretty easy to set up and makes it a lot more flexible; it won't add routes to AllowedIPs like wg-quick but you can define the routes (and routing policies and tables) you want in the same file. [0]

As much flak as systemd gets, systemd-networkd has by far been the most sane way for me to manage networking on Linux, and I tried most.

I'd also like to take the opportunity to recommend nftables instead of iptables. Unless you already have good reasons to prefer iptables, nftables is so much easier to learn and manage.

Oh, and ufw gets ugly real fast. Managing it through ansible or similar is a real mess. firewalld is a lot more predictable IMO. Its routing story is not perfect but it's the best I found so far and can be complemented with ip and manual nftables rules[2].

This disclosure says that everyone who was hacked had their email inbox hacked. So you're saying that someone hacked Coinbase to find your email address, then once they found your address, hacked your email inbox some other way, then used that to hack Coinbase? That sounds very roundabout, although I guess not impossible. I guess it's possible Coinbase could have some info leak somewhere that would leak your email address.

Did you ever use any other cryptocurrency website? If so, one of those could have been hacked in order for the hackers to get a list of users to target.

But the entire reason Merck and co don't pour money into foundational and/or exploratory research is because it's unprofitable. Giving the money to universities to do the research instead of doing it themselves doesn't change that. This is why things like DARPA exist in the defense industry: to fund exploratory research that would otherwise be unprofitable.

Government is already "profiting" by getting novel lifesaving drugs for their money. That's why if your research doesn't deliver results you don't get more grants. They also get a return in the form of jobs for their citizens. I don't see why it's govt's job to make profits off every venture, since their goal should be to maximize wellbeing of their citizens instead. And even if you think they should profit, the tax dollars from even a single successful drug would easily pay for a full year's NSF grants to the entire scientific community.
It is nicely done; the implementation is indeed simple and easy to read! It hopefully will make more language implementors understand.

I guess comparing it to BASIC is not good as this is complex matter: languages like Idris that have a vastly more complex implementation but therefore also a nice (imho) syntax, are still hard for most without theoretical background (I was raised and educated by Dijkstra pupils so it was pounded into me from very young); I found The Little Typer a good read on the subject, but that might be impossible for people without background as well; I cannot really estimate that.

Lol they use off the shelf ARM cores again, and the major issues since the custom cores of years past have dissipated. Sure, Qualcomm adds a slight bit of low-level code and has a different power policy on the 888 vs the 2100, but it’s not actually that different and both are on the Samsung 5NM (by nomenclature anyways) process, which is what actually draws criticism in terms of “Samsung” in the context of SOC’s as of 2021. The reason is simple: the density of the process is solid (EUV and all come in handy) but the leakage is rather disproportionately poor for given points toward the upper range of the voltage-frequency curve e.g. 2.7-3GHz, where mobile “big” or “huge” cores tend to run such as the Cortex X1, Cortex A78 which are both found in the former two SOC’s from Samsung and Qualcomm.

In other words: Samsung and Qualcomm are both behind Cupertino in CPU single-threaded performance but it’s worth noting why this is especially bad: ARM still optimizes for performance per area/efficiency with reference cores & furthermore the implementations of these cores by Samsung and Qualcomm do not utilize remotely as much cache that ARM recommends for the Cortex X1 nor L3 (4MB, but they could go to 16!) which is typical, and the 888 actually reduces the maximum frequency of the X1 (2.84GHz - as ppposed to topping out at 3.09/3.1 like ARM spec or as with their last SOC, the 865) presumably because they deemed the power trade-off not worthwhile for their mainstream flagship chip. Throw in Samsung fab inferiority (to TSMC) and the engine lights here just stack up.

Microsoft is reportedly using an X1 & A710 on a TSMC 5NM process, which is odd given they ought to use an X2 but whatever. Qualcomm and Samsung’s X1’s score 1000-1100 on Geekbench 5’a Single thread test, which is indeed an excellent ledger of general performance. With TSMC 5NM & more cache, this chip is going to have phenomenal performance per watt and accounting for the Windows Geekbench penalty probably have X1’s hitting 1200 in single thread tests, which is about 500 off an M1, but also at less power - ARM quotes the X1 on TSMC 5NM (which Microsoft will be using instead of Samsung 5NM) as a 3.2-3.6 watt core at peak. The A710’s? We’re talking about a 1W profile (and 800-100 GB5 performance if the A78’s are anything to go by, and an absurdly high performance to area ratio).

And really, this is just about providing a decently performant ARM option that retains the ever-obvious performance per watt advantage. The Qualcomm 8CX is just not powerful enough, because it uses old Cortex A76 cores, as does Microsoft’s dogshit SQ1/2. Battery is life is reportedly solid though.

This is one big step in actually hitting “good enough” for ARM on Windows. It’s about competing with X86 and keeping the Windows ecosystem competitive with Apple’s offerings, not necessarily beating them overnight.
This rings true completely from my experience.

I run an eBay store that has pretty decent revenues but no brand recognition, and we make pretty heavy use of their Promoted Listings function.

We've generally found for competitive items that sacrificing 5% to ad spend allows us to increase the price of the item by 20% without experiencing any reduction in sales. There is no way to fake that.

For my other business, though, (Low-cost USB Oscilloscopes) I found Google, Facebook and Amazon ads to be completely useless. Even then, though, it didn't cost a lot of money or take a whole lot of time to get a definitive answer and cancel the campaign.
You know the ROC claims more territory than the PRC does, right?

Venezuela's situation is just sad. Produces less than half of the food it needs to sustain the population, the vast majority of exports are oil (which has crashed in price) and some other natural resources.

A recipe for disaster. No one needs their currency, not even the pathetic internal market, they can't get foreign currency because exports are low (esp. for a country of 30 million). Wat nou?
They are. I was part of the test rollout of IPv6 when I lived in Richmond, VA last year. It worked flawlessly so I'd assume they should be set for a greater rollout sooner rather than later.
well given the number of preorders for F-150 Lightening, Cybertruck and Rivian it's practical for many
> floating-point numbers, when you're in the locale that doesn't have . as the decimal point

I live in such a country. It's subtle but constant pain even for average users. Even the Windows calculator screws this up: it only accepts either . or , as input instead of both.

Yeah. The commit message I linked has one such example.

5 year high oil prices and no sign of increasing production with north sea oil down from 10mn barrels a day to 1mn a day and Saudia oil production down from 20s to 10s.

Im saying the whole thing smells like an oil crisis.

But yeah, downvote me for thinking just maybe there is a lot more to this story than we are being told.
Cultured Meat Symposium 2021
An optimisitic interpretation is that mask wearing looked to have a plausible mechanism for benefit, and so as the situation ran ahead of the data, the public health officials probably made a best effort guess that mask wearing will probably help and so made the recommendation. Not all public policy can be 100% informed by data 100% of the time. I like to think that this carried more weight in the decision than just wanting to appear to do something, though I am sure that also played some role.

Thankfully most evidence-respecting organizations including governments have taken the position that it is very unlikely that HCL is of any benefit as the data has become better. Its really only fringe groups who are pushing that one hard still and even many of those have moved on to ivermectin.
> Is there a lot of deferred maintenance on vehicle fleets that’s catching up to us now? Lack of parts? Maybe some tie to the chip shortage of all things seeing as how automobile manufacturers are also having to shut down plants due to a lack of chips?

Lack of mechanics might be bigger than lack of parts; I haven't heard of any unusual service parts shortages (I had a long wait for a replacement door chime, but seems within the usual FCA tom-foolery), but my local dealer is down several mechanics. And my local independent service shop is booked out quite a bit farther than they were in 2019.

This is horrible and it is even more horrible how people consider it a joke. For millions of people this means poverty, uncertainty, and suffering. Sitting smirking on the outside and feeling good that you are not there is morally rotten. At least have some respect for the tragedy this is. And honestly, the first who blames it on the victim better never know how much they are wrong.

I can only imagine all these language had a word for 'uncountable number' which was then repurposed as mathematics developed (you need to invent column placeholders and powers of 10 before you have a specific notion of '10,000')

億 is just 10,000 * 10,000, perhaps you could say "a myriad of myriads" if one myriad wasn't enough.

Wikipedia article on 10,000 has this to say:

Many languages have a specific word for this number: in Ancient Greek it is μύριοι (the etymological root of the word myriad in English), in Aramaic ܪܒܘܬܐ, in Hebrew רבבה [revava], in Chinese 萬/万 (Mandarin wàn, Cantonese maan6, Hokkien bān), in Japanese 万/萬 [man], in Khmer ម៉ឺន [meun], in Korean 만/萬 [man], in Russian тьма [t'ma], in Vietnamese vạn, in Thai หมื่น [meun], in Malayalam പതിനായിരം [patinayiram], and in Malagasy alina.[1] In many of these languages, it often denotes a very large but indefinite number.

A joke about performative third parties is not the same as joking about the class itself. That is why Tropic Thunder is still largely seen as acceptable blackface - because it was only used for the purpose of satirizing the act of blackface, not black people. Likewise, jokes about performative over-reactive wokeness by corporations are not insulting any tangentially mentioned race/sex/gender class.

To be honest; "hard to maintain", "technical debt", "total rewrite required", "monolith to micro service", probably "micro service to monolith" at some point, all of these appear no matter what the language, I really don't think static analysis is the problem. Though I will give you that pretty much every popular dynamic language has terrible runtime environments, which doesn't help at all. If I don't have comprehensive static analysis I want good introspection and reflection, I'd ideally want static manipulation and continuation.

Domestic delivery for Australia Post is backlogged significantly[1]

There's reports that AusPost's parcel facilities have so many packages to process, that they're queued up outside (in some kind of undercover area) waiting to be processed.

I only have anecdata to support this, but my own parcels from even one or two suburbs away have taken over a week. A parcel from Newcastle to Sydney sat for two weeks in one of the major parcel facilities with no updates, presumably in the aforementioned pile-up.

A parcel from Germany showed being processed outbound in Germany in late April, and then complete silence until it turned up in an AusPost facility in early September.

It's all very random, though, and not consistent - two packages from the same seller in Melbourne sent two weeks apart arrived in reverse order one day apart - one taking one week, the other three. They passed through the same processing facilities in tracking.

I've now given up having any idea how long things will take to arrive.

I'm so glad I have experience now (few years). I remember how hard it was to get in (I'm not from a tech background). I don't have to memorize random things I don't even use in my day job.

I agree though I got a 40% raise jumping to a new job, I'm still below $100K but it's something for me in the midwest.

I don't aim to stay in it professionally for a long time though, will save/invest and get out. Do it on my own time for fun/to build things.

Does KDE network manager still delete the VPN entry at the end of the setting up process if there is an error in the config ?

Anyway, I was just looking how to add a WG VPN entry in kubuntu 18.04 but its version of KDE is a bit behind so CLI it is.

I'd settle for an independent KDE widget though.

Those other engineering professions some harmful things too. Didn't engineers design prisons, casinos, nuclear weapons, land mines, plants that manufacture harmful chemicals, etc..? The only way to believe that these oaths make a difference is to ignore all those things.

Anyway, at my university (CS/computer eng. major) everyone in the engineering school goes through the same induction ceremony that I think had a similar oath. I still have the Wash. U. Engineer's Creed card in my wallet. I vaguely remember that Tau Beta Pi had a similar thing. Honestly, I appreciate the ideals, but I don't think the oath made folks from my program any more ethical than those from other schools.

I believe they have the largest oil reserves in the world (over 15% of the worlds reserve). I also believe Venezuela was in dire straights long before oil crashed. Quite honestly their government is massively to blame. After a certain leader passed away they went downhill very fast.
