Just finished a major deployment and learned that Azure is a clown show. It has incomplete documentation, automation is a joke, and it has a horrible IaC implementation. They also use security to up-sell; secure versions of various services are only available in higher cost tiers. We are paying thousands/month in azure; the equivalent deployment in AWS would be a fraction of the cost.

Azure is a total ripoff and I will never use it again.
USB PD is a fairly complex protocol. I can safely plug my phone into my MacBook charger now because both ends can negotiate a suitable power level. We’re not just doing 5V 1A anymore. The CPU they chose is probably a little overkill, but it’s nicer than 8-bit microcontrollers to write programs for since it’s just Arm.

Who knows, maybe they have a bunch of internal sensors and can intelligently react to high temperatures or moisture.
I wasn't soliciting for an explanation why people are trying to mock - too much studying of psychology provided enough information to answer this question. The answer, as it may come at a surprise for you, is not related to plausibility of statements. But that's totally different matter.

As for your question, let me give you a very simple answer. As a layman in certain area, I see few facts - several families who I know in person chose to take Ivermectin as part of their treatment when family member contracted covid. All of them successfully recovered from covid.

And at the same time, a person I know lost 2 legs shortly after "safe" jab due to blood cloths. Doctor said that if he wouldn't intervene and put him in ICU, he would be dead by now. Another person got cardiac arrest after jab (being 24yo) and was paid a lump sum (more than $200k) by government to suck it up and keep his mouth shut.

Certainly I am not going to draw any conclusions from those observations. Except one - why Ivermectin is so actively dismissed and the pharma jabs are so actively promoted? There is clearly some evidence ivermectin does help, but we have no means to know at what extend or at what price. This atmosphere of ignorance and narrative-pushing has nothing in common with intellectual curiosity, which is something we have to use when dealing with challenges like covid. Sadly not many of us are capable of that.
A bit off topic, but...

> but it makes Edge look bad, which is a shame because it’s not a terrible browser at all.

Maybe its not a terrible browser, but first impressions count for a lot. To even use the browser for the first time you need to sit through their sales pitch (for anyone who has installed windows recently, you'll understand that all the popups and so on take much longer than you'd expect). They practically beg you not to use another browser.

All this I'd say fine to. They have mistakes of the past to fix, and want people to give them a chance. Maybe not ideal, but the first time I saw this, I thought fair enough, I'll give them a chance.

As soon as you do that and cave to them, the first thing they ask for is all your data, with a massive obstrusive banner that's of course intentionally difficult to say no to. Not even Chrome is so brazen as that. You give them an inch and they take a yard

Nit: Adding a keyword is not a breaking change, removing them is.

With PHP, you could argue that they were needed because it developed organically, instead of through a process by experienced language designers. I'm not sure about Python though.

Counter-example, Go hasn't had backwards-incompatible changes yet, and at the moment there's no compelling reasons to make a breaking 2.0 version - and any plans for a 2.0 version so far have minimal changes, so going to 2.0 should be a smooth and quick process.
Also since demoting people almost never works taking it slow seems in the best interest of both parties.

Now obviously they shouldn't keep you there. So if you are really up for it they should promote you and not leave you hanging. But by itself it doesn't seem like a overly weird thing to do.
Unless they turn the other cheek, love their neighbors as they love themselves, and sell all their worldly possessions and give their money to the poor, I'd disagree.

In Spanish at least, Christian usually refers to evangelical.
Papal infallibility does not mean that every word that comes out of his mouth is true. It means that he can not bind the faithful to believe error. So when he officially exercises his power and declares that something must be believed by all the faithful then he will be divinely protected from teaching error.

VAERS data is not verified, as I said, it's self reported. It's useful but not necessarily great for basing hunches on.

According to your graph, excess mortality for ages 0-14 for this year is lower than it was in 2019, before the vaccine or the pandemic hit. And the excess mortality in the 15-44 age group is maybe 5000 people across 28 countries. Without knowing the variance in previous years, which is not given in those graphs, that's meaningless and could easily be down to the disease itself. I personally know a lot of people in this age group who have come down with the disease now, as they are starting to go out and socialise a lot more than they were a year ago. It's hard to see how the 'normal range' is calculated on the pooled deaths graphs as there only appears to be about 4 years data there, which is not a lot to go on.

So as I said before, what you have here is vague speculation. You can't tell from there that anything unusual is necessarily going on at all, let alone what might be causing it.
First thanks for this read. But yes and no.

- Yes, bcz this reptile models is not accurate. It's at best an outdated but very intriguing analogy (which I agree can be misleading) but not here.

- No bcz a bit irrelevant to the our argument above. You may refer to [this paper](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK234157/) quoting:

> "The preponderance of the cerebral cortex (which, with its supporting structures, makes up approximately 80 percent of the brain's total volume) is actually a recent development in the course of evolution. The cortex contains the physical structures responsible for most of what we call ''brainwork": cognition, mental imagery, the highly sophisticated processing of visual information, and the ability to produce and understand language. But underneath this layer reside many other specialized structures that are essential for movement, consciousness, sexuality, the action of our five senses, and more—all equally valuable to human existence. Indeed, in strictly biological terms, these structures can claim priority over the cerebral cortex. In the growth of the individual embryo, as well as in evolutionary history, the brain develops roughly from the base of the skull up and outward. The human brain actually has its beginnings, in the four-week-old embryo, as a simple series of bulges at one end of the neural tube."

Despite what that paper says, the lizard analogy goes to this, and I agree it's loose, outdated and misleading one but doesn't change the argument we're discussing here.
As I was going through the same process of disentangling the learning-process roadmap, a friend of mine recommend I follow Jérôme Petazzoni's [0] "Deploying and Scaling Microservices

I had a similar experience in Washington. Amex had an international courier deliver a new card within days. In the UK, the three companies that won't lose my custom (unless things go very downhill) are Amex, NFU Mutual and firstdirect. In my dealings with each, their staff come across as competent and efficient, with a get-stuff-done attitude and evidently empowered to make their own decisions.
Is it possible to feel sorry for neither of these parties? Visa sucks for raising interchange rates and Amazon sucks for blocking customers who have those cards. The customer ends up suffering since Visa will still make their revenues and Amazon doesn't care since customers will find a means to pay.

All these increasing fees definitely is a sign of pending high inflation world-wide, however. We know who stands to lose from not only the higher fees but also inflation, the typical consumer.
> What I like about Haskell is that it is unashamedly a language for programming language research, by programming language researchers

Wait, what? This runs completely counter to my experience of Haskell. I use it whenever I can, and I’m pretty sure I’m not a PL researcher. Lots of other programmers write actual, real-world programs in Haskell as well. Much of the discussion I see in Haskell communities concerns areas such as performance, toolchains and libraries — areas which PL researches are famous for ignoring. I will admit that we often talk about GHC extensions and type theory and whatnot, but the discourse around those areas is not all that mathematical; it tends towards ‘how is this useful for writing programs?’. In other words, exactly like every other real-world programming language out there.

(That being said, maths is fun, and I regularly see people defining weird and wonderful abstractions. But this rarely gets in the way of writing programs. If anything, every now and then someone comes up with an abstraction which turns out to be incredibly useful in practice: lenses, free monads, applicativeṣ, HKTs…)

The React team is like 7 people; I'm not sure that qualifies as a seperate organization within Facebook, since the rest of their 1000's of developers are just using React like everyone else.

>People are being pushed to do things that evolution really hasn't equipped them to do - sustained periods of low physical activity, high mental activity guided by willpower rather than instinct. That is pretty tiring.

I don't think it's a mental vs. physical thing at all.

I've had jobs where I had certainty about what I was doing every day, I witnessed the fruits of my labor and I had certainty about where I stood in the organization. I never suffered burnout from them.

I've also had jobs where I was always uncertain about what I ought to be doing, where the fruits of my labor often didn't seem to amount to much (e.g. perpetual project cancellations/always changing requirements/sudden architectural direction changes) and I was really uncertain about where I stood the whole time.

I tried dealing with it with sustained periods of heavy physical activity (e.g. jogging between tasks), meditation, etc. It only helped a little.

This perpetual miasma of uncertainty and consequent stress built up over time and when it became too much - that's when I burned out.

I don't doubt that working on a farm doing heavy physical labor under similar conditions would burn me out too. My parents used to sometimes give me vague gardening tasks when I was a teenager and I absolutely hated that.
> How can we achieve things with no burnout or ego-driven mindset?

First, let go of this need that you have to achieve things. You try and keep up with others, to be better than others, but it's OK to be mediocre.

Counterpoint though, in today's economy, people are forced to achieve and push for higher wages, just to keep a roof over their head. That's another source of stress and worry, and that's down to government and international economic policy to solve.

As a European, I am pretty sure.

These cases are fought for years, and theorized over for decades. In the meantime, the companies have gained or lost market share, profits and future revenues move in whatever direction, and the court ruling and the fine have little importance.

This may have been different some time ago. Nowadays, however, rest assured that no internet company will be deterred by pesky things such as laws, morality or ethics. If market share is at stake, that is.

This goes for Microsoft as much as for Google and Facebook. Google settles important cases (data related) to not have any legislative interference, and will pay the fine for everything else. Microsoft would be foolish to do anything else.

The companies are more powerful than the legal systems in the EU. Not the EU, mind you - if the will was there.
But it isn't.

Look at the fines, look at the dollars actually being paid. And then look at the prospect of gaining 30,40 maybe 50% market share in the browser market - now that all bets are off and Microsoft has gone back to just siphoning off all data without even giving normal users a choice.
Yeah.

Don't be naive.
One of my favorite ideas in Walkaway was the concept of restoring areas to their original, ready to use condition when finished using them.

Too often this doesn't happen and it causes problems every time. It's critical in a communal environment where you don't know who will be using a space next, and many people may use it before you come back to it.

Ensuring that tools and equipment are kept in working order is the responsibility of the user, and should be part of any training.
Which doesn’t apply in the UK post Brexit, hence this situation. The UK could cram down interchange fees (such that the EU had) with their own regulation if they don’t want merchants banning rent seeking payment networks.

That's exactly my point. Without any causation, any correlation can be and often is spurious, so as to make the correlation meaningless.
"The developer’s engineers and the City have shown that the building is perfectly safe through detailed modeling and investigation. And yet, the prices of those luxury condominiums plummeted with the frenzy of reporting about the settlement and tilting."

I'm the same way. I suppose some people use regex's a lot, I never really have.

If our experiences are typical, I'd argue people new to regex's should more learn they exist and when they can be useful, and not worry too much about actually learning their mechanics.
> FWIW, I wouldn't take ivermectin either as a prophylactic or therapeutic, the evidence just isn't strong enough, but I don't really fault anyone that would add it into the stack of treatments upon a diagnosis in the hopes of a small net benefit.

If you're familiar with software development, this is akin to "there's a bug in my codebase and I'm just going to add a bunch of code that probably won't affect anything in the hope that it will fix the bug".

Meds shouldn't be administered in this way. It just ads noise to the system and will complicate things down the road.

I have a problem with both how absolutist and now moralistic this statement is. Granted, it doesn't say that writing is sufficient for "thinking well" it does seem to imply it. Why does it need to be one thing? Why can't "thinking well" be supported by a variety of methods with people choosing a different recipies depending on who their audience is and what they themselves are like? Would you accuse Stephen Hawking of not "thinking well" because he doesn't write?

The moralistic part is why I'm quoting "thinking well". So what exactly is "thinking well"? I would suspect that most of the greatest minds in history would have, at some point, been accused of not "thinking well".
I haven’t formalized my thinking around this so it could be an incomplete and terrible take, but I’m not sure its a problem that some companies have a “terrible” culture. Obviously, there are protected classes and laws, etc. High Level though, this is an executive position. Just get a new job. Its not like I am yelling at a mcdonalds employee that if they don’t like fast food they can quit and starve to death. Suing a company kind of seems like a money grab. It sounds like she was treated terribly but as a highly compensated and experienced exec, like why didn’t she just walk away. Why bother going through a year of torture and then sue them to point out how bad they treated her. I really hate litigation culture in America.

Totally prepared for alternate views and am not married to this PoV. These stories always rub me the wrong way though

Edit: By “I’m not sure its a problem to let companies have terrible cultures” I just mean there is room in the market for people to have different approaches. If a culture truly is so bad that people won’t work there, then they won’t attract talent and put out good products and slowly die.

A QC absolutely uses quantum properties in its probabilistic computation (the complex-valued probabilities of its qbits and their entanglement). A QC can also perfectly represent the state of a quantum system (until you want to measure its output, of course).

The laws of physics are known to be computable. Quantum Mechanics is one of the easiest to prove this for, since it is based on simple linear transforms! (Thermodynamics and GR are more complex, but still computable).

I have no idea why you believe differently.

A chaotic system requires arbitrary precision in the input measurements to be able to predict arbitrarily precisely its state after arbitrarily many steps. But, crucially, it does not require infinite precision in the input unless you want to predict its state with infinite precision (non-goal) or after infinite time (also a non-goal).

The uncertainty principle is also irrelevant. The uncertainty principle has to do with measurement of classical properties. Conversely, the wave function of a system is precise, not fuzzy. It's only in measuring properties of the wave function that we reach uncertainty or probability at all. So, a computer can precisely compute the simple linear evolution of the wave function, according to the Schrodinger equation, which is what the universe itself is doing. The result of this computation is a complex value. You can then apply the Born rule to this result to get the probability of your system being in a particular state after following the simulated evolution, just as you would for a real quantum mechanical system.

We do this kind of quantum simulation every day with great success, with a countable number of classical computers (typically 1), though it is only tractable for very very simple systems. The results don't typically differ in any perceivable way from the actual experiment.
