There is no obligation (or force) to get a booster shot. It is available and recommended but not forced. Some groups like older age and immune-compromised people are highly recommended.

> Not to mention, CloudFormation actually allows ~transactions, which is something you can't really get without cooperation from the cloud provider (terraform and pulumi both use cloudformation on AWS for exactly this reason)

Terraform doesn't use CloudFormation on AWS (and I thought Pulumi used Terraform under the covers in some capacity?). I've also seen a lot of CloudFormation stacks get into completely unrecoverable states because AWS was trying to roll back a transaction, but the rollback failed. If you have a premium support contract, someone can un-stick it for you, but for the rest of us we just had to create a new stack. I've been off AWS for a year and change, so maybe this has improved?

In whichever case, I've only dabbled with CDK, but I was disappointed. What I really want is a better Troposphere[0]--sort of an AST library for CloudFormation, ideally type-safe. I don't care that the backend is CloudFormation in particular, but the idea is that we should have a clean separation between the backend diff engine and the abstraction layer that humans use to DRY the input to the backend diff engine.

Nobody has ever dealt with these problems before in living memory there are far too many unknowns, and there are very serious consequences i.e. death, hospitals overflowing, staff shortages, it's a very real emergency.

If part of your job is to sit there and watch the numbers come in, and hear the reports fro the Health Officers, it's visceral.

It's managed chaos at best.

Personally, the 'no parks' thing was a bit much, and they should have encouraged 'strong distancing' at the same time encouraged people to 'get out'.

But lockdowns are ham-fisted and crude in every way but if we can bring a national emergency down to something more bearable, so be it.

If COVID strikes again this winter, hopefully we can be more nuanced about it (i.e. probably encourage people to get outdoors).

> I am sorry but saying that RISC-V is a winner in code density is beyond ridiculous.

You have no idea what you're talking about. I've worked on designs with both ARM and RISC-V cores. The RISC-V code outperforms the ARM core, with smaller gate count, and has similar or higher code density in real world code, depending on the extensions supported. The only way you get much lower code density is without the C extension, but I haven't seen it not implemented in a real-world commercial core, and if it wasn't, I'm sure there was because of a benefit (FPGAs sometimes use ultra-simple cores for some tasks, and don't always care about instruction throughput or density)

It should be said that my experience is in embedded, so yes, it's unsafe code. But the embedded use-case is also the most mature. I wouldn't be surprised if extensions that help with safer programming languages would be added for desktop/server class CPUs, if they haven't already (I haven't followed the development of the spec that closely recently)

> Fundamentally, I don't really see much difference between monoliths and microservices.

> In a monolith, you just call another function/class, but in microservices that function is a http call.

That right there is the fundamental difference.

For one thing, calling a function in the same process is going to be orders of magnitude faster than a network connection call and all that it entails. Even if performance doesn't matter at all in some use case, it's also additional cost to be running all these additional instances.

And then, complexity went up since a network call can fail in all kinds of additional ways that a jump to a function address in the local process cannot. So the code has to deal with all those. The complexity of correlating your logs and diagnostics also just went up. Your deployment automation and versioning complexity also now went up.

All these are solvable problems, of course. It just takes more people, time and budget. If the company is large enough sometimes it's worth it for the dev team decoupling aspects. If the company is tiny, it's approximately never worth taking on all this extra work and cost.
I wonder how much a business' valuation is determined by sale potential. If you have a business that is worth a lot, and yet nobody can or will buy it, how much is it really worth?

Obviously it's still worth something, it's just that the valuation becomes really fuzzy except for the assets.

This is simply false in most states. In short, you can shoot someone dead if you "reasonably believes such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or bodily harm to himself / herself or another". This does in fact include a guy punching you or trying to punch you.
Because they have similar risk factors, which are much, much lower than the other countries people are noting Sweden appeared to have fared better than. The UK, which imported a lot more cases, has more crowded commuter trains and bars and probably a less sensible population tried the Swedish strategy for a few weeks, but gave up because the deaths were mounting.

Is this the ventilator fallacy? You know, it's march 2020, and everyone is rushing to make more of those damn ventilators?

If you end up on a fucking ventilator in an ICU bed, the damage is long done. The goal is not to maximize the number of people we can have on ventilators. That is an absurd idea on the same level of the "natural immunity is better than the vaccine!" insanity we got in 2021.
And what is expected deaths per capita? That relative measure is irrelevant unless you compare it to some kind of normal death rate in the past. Are you expecting deaths per capita to drastically drop and be kept much lower from 2020 and forward, compared to the past?

If in a business context the alternative is "the CI macs, that sit in some corner of some office under a desk and hopefully don't get unplugged", maybe with a side of "and IT hates unapproved servers and also won't put our macs in their DC", I can see it making some sense.
The missing key here in my opinion is subsidiarity. Decentralisation works up to a point, but many decentralised solutions assume that everybody is the entire system must reach a concensus e.g. Blockchain. And that concensus usually involves some kind of "majority rules". Which means that in practice, 49% of people might be left unhappy. That is not the sign of a healthy society.

What we need instead is the follow the principles of subsidiarity [1].

Local level markets, DeFi solutions, governance structures, communication platforms, etc that are capable of enforcing their own rules, but that are interoperable to some degree with other systems.

The Matrix project I think is a great example of this. Unfortunately, it looks like they might be making some bad decisions around global moderation, but in general the idea that local servers can exist with their own rules, but still send and receive content from other servers is great.

We don't want to end up in a future where Big Tech can automatically censor any video you upload, any message you send, or any call you make. This doesn't mean we need the Wild West, it means that you should be participating in a community where you all agree on the rules. And if you want to participate in somebody else's community, you need to follow their rules. This idea that some global all powerful entity can just banhammer somebody for something they said in a community that everybody in the community thought was fine, is totally unacceptable.

You get used to wearing masks very fast and it's no big deal. They can be inconvenient. So what.

Vaccination reduces transmission: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2106757

> Cases of Covid-19 were less common among household members of vaccinated health care workers during the period beginning 14 days after the first dose than during the unvaccinated period before the first dose (event rate per 100 person-years, 9.40 before the first dose and 5.93 beginning 14 days after the first dose). After the health care worker’s second dose, the rate in household members was lower still (2.98 cases per 100 person-years). These differences persisted after fitting extended Cox models that were adjusted for calendar time, geographic region, age, sex, occupational and socioeconomic factors, and underlying conditions. Relative to the period before each health care worker was vaccinated, the hazard ratio for a household member to become infected was 0.70 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.63 to 0.78) for the period beginning 14 days after the first dose and 0.46 (95% CI, 0.30 to 0.70) for the period beginning 14 days after the second dose. ... Not all the cases of Covid-19 in the household members were transmitted from the health care worker; therefore, the effect of vaccination may be larger.1 For example, if half the cases in the household members were transmitted from the health care worker, a 60% decrease in cases transmitted from health care workers would need to occur to elicit the association we observed (see the Supplementary Appendix). Vaccination was associated with a reduction in both the number of cases and the number of Covid-19–related hospitalizations in health care workers between the unvaccinated period and the period beginning 14 days after the first dose.

I've manually done it before (on Linux). Technologically it's not that hard to do, but legally is where it becomes a problem. IIRC the Xcode license (which applies to the iOS SDKs) requires you to use them on Apple branded computers.

I don't know why Apple cares so much about that, especially since they're already collecting their yearly $100 tax from developers on top of the 30% revenue cut. I guess at their size, extracting every last penny is how you get to a trillion dollar valuation?

So unless you have a strong legal defense ready, you should probably just pay Apple.

EDIT: I should clarify that by "it's not that hard to do", I mean that it's easy because someone else already did the hard part :)

> A "pre-existing condition" is not a medical term. It is a term used only in US health insurance. To 95% of the world, it has no meaning.

You're being pedantic. The point was that outcomes are poorer for the unvaccinated, just like outcomes are poorer for those with high blood pressure or with autoimmune deficiencies. It is to everyone's benefit to keep those people out of ICU and long-term hospital stays, so they should be treated aggressively as a result.

> If you aren't masking and you aren't getting vaccinated and you live in a developed country, then you are doing it deliberately, you are costing everyone else tremendously, and the rest of the world shouldn't be forced to carry the burden for your decision to be antisocial, irrational and to steal from the health of the group at no objective benefit for yourself.

You are missing point to the study.

Even if I use your position that people were to die without being infected due to their health already being somewhat compromised (which isn't the case here but I will suppose it for your trollish statements) - the point is that COVID-19 has serious and significant impacts on the cardiovascular system beyond your immediate infection and more so than we previously thought.
This is a nice approach. I generally leave a project specific email in the request headers with a similar short summary of my goals.
Except that the problem is exactly the unvaxxed. When we have 100% coverage of all age groups, with boosters as necessary (let's hope for continuing good data from Israel), then we can suppress Covid.

Vaccination is something that everyone has to do for the sake of everyone, which sadly is a somewhat alien concept in certain parts of our society.

> Baker Landers knows on which side of that divide she falls. "We mix and release the film for the best case scenario, saying, 'This is how it should be.' A lot of times, we'll hear people say, 'They're not going to be able to hear this in certain theaters in the Midwest, so should we do this louder?' But then you don't have a standard any longer. You have to say, 'This is the standard. We're doing it for the optimum viewing experience.' And hopefully theaters and everyone else rise to that."

That and other parts of the article seem like clear analogs to IT design issues: If we follow the standard, then we get a lot of failures by people not following the standard. Think of web design, for example.

IME, the answer in IT is: Deal with it. Appealing to the standard as an excuse for the failures is BS. If your website fails because some end-user platform doesn't implement standards properly, that's on you. You need to build for the messy real world, not for an idealistic, perfect, clean-room world of standards.

Is there no user-centric design concept in film?
