I highly doubt 90% is going to apply as a new goalpost.

Yes, it reduces ICU and deaths in risk groups A LOT, but it doesn't explain forcing or pressuring people out of risk groups to vaccinate.

There's more information constantly flowing in now, how under reported all the different complications and side effects vaccines can cause actually is now. And why is it under reported? Because of the whole propaganda of "vaccines are safe and effective, can't do you harm, if you believe otherwise you are anti-science moron".

People even if they have long lasting side effects they are ridiculed when they go to doctor's and same with their families. No reporting going on about this at all. I've read over 1000 anecdotal stories by now, where similar set of circumstances happen, although if you read those stories it would be obvious that these are not coincidences, imagination of people or anything remotely like that.

It's great that a recent video came out where Kyle is interviewed by Dr John Campbell about his experience with doctors.
I've really fallen for Adalo. Before I could only run tech teams, but now I'm one of the best developers I've met for building mature MVPs.

Adalo feels to me like the most 'pure' no code experience, where it's not just a typical dev environment with a graphical visualization, but instead a tool built around functionality.

I feel like Bubble, Outsystems, etc, is built with a traditional development environment in mind, and just replaces code with snippets, while Adalo is more about extending the functionality of design software like Adobe XD all the way through to the app store and the first 50K users.

I've trained people on Adalo well and it's remarkable the progress a smart, committed person can make in just a few days.

UX Strategy – Key Ingredients for a successful digital product delivery
Wouldn’t that be optimising for a very small group of coders and unusually-frequent travellers at the expense of everyone else?
0.05% is huge. That's one death per 2000 infected. If you extrapolate that out to the world population, it's one-third of a holocaust. To me that handily justifies restricting the entire population.

Then again, lots of things kill more people and don't mobilize nearly this level of response. Which I guess has to do with them only killing people in third world countries, cough malaria...

Exactly. Facebook bought WhatsApp’s users like cattle on auction. WhatsApp guys just needed the right price offer. Now with pseudo tech posts like the current they are trying to mask it’s public image behind some ancient tech innovation from it’s past…
Exactly! And due to WFH we have to set a meeting for every little thing.
Your comment would mean something if their concern was scattered and random across the spectrum. Clearly its not.
Facebook to WhatsApp team in the acquisition negotiations:
"If you don't sell to us, we'll build our own and offer it for free"

And they would have been out of business sooner or later. There are enough people wanting to save that one dollar.
I've used Whatsapp for a few years when they had this pricing model. Use 1 year for free and pay after. I've never paid anything and nobody who I know needed to pay to keep using WhatsApp.
You are missing stuff.

In development mode with inotify you get python hot code reloading. In development mode the XML (with a handful of exceptions regarding menus, and ir.actions) will be read from disk on refresh.

At work we use Dockerized Odoo based on a [Doodba](https://github.com/Tecnativa/doodba). We use [click-odoo](https://github.com/acsone/click-odoo) to manage module upgrades (amongst other things). Dev workflow is largely managed through [invoke](https://www.pyinvoke.org/) tasks.

I do wish there was hot code reloading for the views (xml), but realistically if you’re making an app of any complexity the views in the backend are the small part and likely not where you are spending the majority of your time.

Website stuff is absolutely 100% stuck in the past at the moment, imho.
I agree with you - so teach both Java (for OOP) and Haskell (for FP). But I do find Java a perfect candidate for teaching about “traditional” development, where students get the benefit of static typing with easy to digest error messages (not that much runtime failure in specific circumstances that is really hard to debug as a beginner), well-defined behavior all-around (okay, not with regards to concurrency but that’s another topic — but not having your program segfault is very useful), understanding lower level memory details is in my opinion easier tacked on knowledge of a higher level language, so GC is a great start, and all around an easy/small language where the language primitives can be built upon in basically every other language.
this article is good, i believe that blogging is much more professional.
> Yes, and it's doubly pointless here, because it isn't doing anything that couldn't be done better by the OS's own package manager.

No, not really. With Docker, packaging is a solved problem, and you also get for free a deployment history which you can roll back and forward at will. You also get introspection and blue/green deployments, and if you really want to you can also setup a cluster of nodes for free where you can run whole application stacks with a one-liner.

There is really no excuse to do things the hard way.
> For addition this is correct, I don't believe it's correct for multiplication because of the negative integers. That is, the ring described by signed n-bit signed integers under multiplication and addition is not isomorphic to (Z_{2^n}, +, *).

No, it is. It is in fact just Z modulo 2^n, just with the choice of representatives being { -2^(n-1), ..., 2^(n-1)-1 } instead of { 0, ..., 2^n-1 }. This is pretty easy to check... do you have an example to the contrary?
> Personally I want to build systems.

Sure. And so do I. Specifically, I don't want to rebuild systems that have already been built for me which I can use as dependencies. And I don't want to spend all my time troubleshooting bugs, either - I'll take a well-maintained repository on GitHub with thousands of users bug-testing it for me over some janky thing some guy on another team threw together a few quarters ago before he quit.
Related to Japanese time keeping, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_clock is a fun read!
Oh, absolutely.

Re: app store. That's not quite fully correct. It's obscure and not well known but actually, Microsoft isn't doing what you claim.

1. Any signed app with good reputation will be ignored by Windows Defender and other AV tools. That's how Windows security works: the anti-virus programs focus their attention on activity by code that they don't recognize. Signatures are how to handle "good" polymorphic code like app updates whilst stopping "bad" polymorphic code like viruses that constantly rewrite themselves. This isn't connected to the app store.

2. You can in fact make your own app store. Windows 10 comes with something called App Installer. You put an MSIX file and a .appinstaller file on your web server, and open the XML file with a special protocol handler. The app is downloaded, installed, lightly sandboxed (but not aggressively so: win32 apps will work fine), and Windows keeps it up to date for you. This is basically the same experience as the App Store itself, but decentralized.
I really suggest reading the book “But is it Art?” by Cynthia A Freeland. Because history and context was a lot different then you describe.
I'm pretty sure the market will crash, independent of this rule. So, let's try what happens to the energy market if we mandate this.
Yes but in the usual market openings are low and budget is low. Now a days loads of ppl quit so openings are high and companies have to give better salary.

That tilts the scale in our favour.

So now ppl quit and then get multiple offers otherwise salary doesn't increase. That's the only way to get a raise.

It should be a crime, a literal crime to ask for current salary.

If I am let's say 5yr experience you give me appropriate salary as per your bands. Why is it a rule to give only 30% based on your current salary?

And then the same HRs cry on Linkedin about how people are not joining!
Much cheaper than what fb makes on ads per user per year, I'm sure

NYT’s coverage of India is almost Orientalist: Ashley Rindsberg
Yes.

Like there is no one definition of most paradigm’s, but what used to be the most FP language, LISPS definitely don’t conform to the more strict FP-definitions like pureness, strong type system, etc. What remains is simply having functions as first class citizens and you can very much save functions into maps or whatever in Java.

> The majority of this is ownership, for example the Quandt family owns nearly 50% of BMW.

This is still based on two massive misunderstandings:

1. This share is cash, when it is not. It is just evaluated as a cash value for simplicity. Removing these people's shareholding does not make actual money appear.

2. People have to buy shares in order for them to be worth anything. Why would anyone buy shares in your world?
> Obviously a homogenous credit underwriting and decisioning process is a negative for society.

No, this is not obvious at all. Given a fixed risk tolerance (or risk/payoff curve), you can only do certain amount of lending, so either you lend to the best prospects ("fairly", in some abstract sense), or you lend less efficiently and give less overall social benefit (but direct the social benefit to some particular subgroup). Having a bunch of different ways of assessing credit just ends up as a time tax that forces people on the margin to apply a bunch of different times, which ultimately benefits no-one.

Where I live there's a single standard formula that every lender uses, which seems a lot more efficient.
I'd change the title to "To learn a new programming language..." - we shouldn't assume that "language" implies "programming", at least not in titles.
Story time.

I had one car about five years ago - a 1982 VW Scirocco. A 1.7L engine powered by mechanical fuel injection, controlled by an early ECU.

It had a problem where the revs would bounce at idle like it had a big cam. Vroom VROOM vroom VROOM. Because of this, I got it very cheap.

I realized if I opened and closed the hood it would stop.

The ECU was mounted next to a hood hinge. Resoldering some connections for some capacitors fixed it. I ended up swapping in a modern turbo motor though. :)
You should instead say "it blew my mind how booby trapped CPUs can be."
>that people in 1985 were having the exact same discussions we are today about the computer and it's effect on privacy with respect to "big brother" and the totalitarian government's obsession with collecting information on people.

Sure did, the 1970's and early 1980's were the birth time of the computer privacy movement. That's where the iconic Apple commercial has its background: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zfqw8nhUwA

Of course, today everyone is spending their time enjoying indoctrination in front of a miniature Apple screen instead of getting called into a center...

That is data. Not every problem is fundamentally about data though — the special case you mention may very well be the whole problem domain. Eg. what percent of data does a compositor work with vs state-holding objects with proper structures like WindowLayoutEngine and the like?
Kazakhstan is an interesting place. The huge open landscapes are completely different to what I've experienced in Europe. There are seemingly endless rail tracks and telegraph poles.

I've been to Baikonur to see a proton rocket launch from there, which is not typical Kazakhstan, but a little bit of Russia in the middle of Kazakhstan. Unfortunately the launch was delayed, but I did get to see the rocket itself.

There is no end goal. The end is not in sight for progress; we need to keep going, and keep in place the one system that has really allowed it.

And yes, they are a means to an end (uplift your family's lot; achieve personal goals through the choices money allows; stay healthy as long as possible; etc etc).
I've spent much of the last couple of years trying to understand online meeting fatigue and experimenting with ways to address the fatigue.

The fatigue comes in several forms: physical, experiential, psychological.

Physical as in the act of being seating in poor posture, for long hours at a time and how this makes us feel.

Experiential as in the act of seeing someone on a laptop screen as we are hunched over, they are dithered and the lighting is poor and they sound (their mic + my laptop speakers) muddied and unreal.

Psychological as trust, empathy, rapport is founded on presence and connectivity, being able to communicate using gestures, body language, expressions... and how these are all muted or eradicated by the above two.

It is addressable but it doesn't come for free.

The article tested camera on vs camera off, but not the quality of the experience offered by camera on. Similarly the quality of the experience offered by the audio feels to be even more important than that of the video. To continue their experiment to an extreme... meetings where both the video and audio off wouldn't be fatiguing at all :D

To address my experiential side I started with a good microphone, then a better camera, then better (more neutral) speakers. Lighting and positioning of the desk to improve my health as well as how natural I look. For the physical a sit stand desk that I actually do use multiple times per day, and some Birkenstocks help too - I stand for about 1/3 of meetings, and I always keep a bottle of water on the desk.

I'm in an engineering leadership role and it's not unusual for me to do 6+ hours of meetings in any given day.

At the start of the pandemic I had a lot of exhaustion from such meetings, but where I am now having overhauled my setup and my thinking about it is very different and I find that I really do feel connected and restored through seeing people (I'm more an introvert, and this form now feels like being an extrovert... it's a form of meeting people that I can do).

As with anything, seek to understand the fatigue, seek to see how you can overcome it. It doesn't need a big shopping spree, I tweaked one thing every month or two until it all fell into place.
I would expect there to be certain scaling. Specially when you move to more severs and more redundancy. Cloud solves part, but still not everything. If single person can support 10k or 100k users. You might still need more than that one to move to million or hundred million.

Also some features like language support and such get more complicated when you want to widen userbase from just English speaking ones.
The Five Dimensions of Curiosity (2018)
"Yeah, one of those days, I was smoking a joint after leaving my shift as a janitor in a hospital and the police took me. If I hadn't called my friends Buffet and Elison to help me, probably I would be still stuck in jail."
- Nobody, ever.

Being poor and poorly connected, in the real world, are basically the same thing.
The remarkable thing is how many people seem to be working with computers without understanding how they work.
We are pretty small and have a 'camera on' policy for our one one hour meeting on Friday every week, and if you don't want to have your camera on you are asked not to participate, and an eight hour interview day every Tuesday. The only exception is for observers present during the meeting (for instance: customer representatives that do not have anything to contribute but are just there to listen and make their own notes). We ask them very explicitly to turn their cameras off.

The whole idea of having a virtual meeting is to interact with people, the alternative is called a voice call or telephone conference.

Virtual meetings are fatiguing, but they aren't nearly as fatiguing as the pre-COVID alternatives: flying in to some different EU capital once every week and staying in hotels. So I'm pretty happy with the way travel has moved to virtual meetings, it saves me at least two days every week besides the irritation of being on the move all the time.

If you can't be bothered to have your camera on in meetings then you probably shouldn't be in that meeting in the first place. There is nothing more annoying than to have an in-person meeting from the past devolve into staring at a wall of stills or icons and then to figure out who says what and to keep a conversation going. Virtual meetings aren't perfect, but if you put some time and effort in they can be an efficiency improvement over real ones.
What the metaverse is and how it will work
At least historically TPMs weren't even usable at all before you perform a procedure called "taking ownership" in which you set a password. This is one of the reasons nothing much uses the TPM. The privacy/control features it had killed its usability.
"putting them to work" - what are you talking about? They are choosing jobs.
Ben Hubbard wrote about it in nytimes [0]. One thing he doesn't make clear - was the hacked phone a US phone or a local (Lebanese?) one. He mentions that he's now using a US number as NSO blocks targeting US phones. Not saying that hacking a non-US phone is ok, but I do think it's an important context, given the allegations that NSO software targets US nationals.
EDIT: This is a third article on the same topic. This time the focus is on a US journalist being hacked. The agenda is clear but having an agenda is everyone's right. It's a shame that citizenlabs conveniently omit that the hacks occurred while Ben Hubbard was reporting from Beirut, and apparently using a local phone. So all the comments here of people triggered by 'NSO now hacks us' are unfortunately based on fake news or a lie (lying by omission is still lying).

But on the other hand you have object initializers directly in the language

In Java you have one of these:

- a hope that someone provided a useful static `.of` method

- a hope that someone provided the 15000 setter methods that you have to tediously invoke one by one

- a hope that someone provided a generator that created a builder that has 15000 setter methods that you have to tediously invoke one by one

Meanwhile in C#:

new Object {
x = ...,
y = ...,
z = ...
}

for literally any object (provided properties are public of course).

And don't get me started on array vs list vs collections none of which are compatible with each other. And hundreds of other QoL improvements that are begging to be implemented, and are not.

Because of Node-RED i learned a LOT about APIs, protocols and stuff in a playful way.
Especially:

-REST

-GET, POST, PUT

-JSON

-Javascript

-MQTT

And all that helped me a lot in my career, just because i wanted to automate a few things. And now Node-RED is just irreplaceable in my private life.

WhatsApp had 200M users in February 2013[1], which was a year before they were acquired by Facebook. Perhaps they wouldn't have gotten to 1B users without Facebook, but I'm sure they still would've grown in the last ~8 years, and fewer users likely results in lower costs. My guess is they would still be doing very well.
