>>For me this makes the NCAP rating useless

That's fine, and fortunately for you, you can still buy and operate that vehicle legally, it's fine. However you might and should expect the insurance on it to be appropriately higher than a 5-star rated vehicle.

>>Also consider that the new NCAP ratings aren't about real safety.

That's exactly what they are about, just because you don't care about those systems doesn't mean they are not about safety. If you didn't care about airbags that wouldn't suddenly make the test that requires them "not about safety".

An engineer's primary concern ought to be the engine. Preoccupation with popularity or feelings seems like a distraction to me.
> Facebook has gone through many databases.

Main use cases (social graph, messaging, ..) are on MySQL (and never left it). Storage engine is different, replication is improved, etc, but it is still tracking upstream MySQL tree.

The thing is - PG still relies on physical replication, and staying with logical one allows to use it for out-of-DBMS change data capture and reuse in other systems.

> MediaWiki is ...

Funny tidbit - I tried to move over Wikipedia to PG ages ago, and did the initial prototyping and made it work to a certain degree. But also I learned about InnoDB more at the time.
You can still run XOrg with the old XOrg-accelerated intel driver or modesetting atop KMS, so even staying within Intel+XOrg you can have very different rendering paths.

I used to run the XOrg-accelerated stuff as it was faster and used less power on my laptop, but once my machine got new enough for SNA it became too buggy vs. modesetting.
This is what it sounds like to me, too. Either that or just using their multiple normal accounts to re-tweet/like.
I agree that in usual practice, we can assume that there is a measurable, objective reality. However, once you get to the limits of human knowledge, everything starts shifting like quicksand and it becomes less obvious that there's an objective reality that we all share.
I think that his comment about "inefficient abstracted programming models" is probably the more pertinent one here.

One important factor to consider there, and for which Linux is wholly unlike the vast majority of other projects, even system projects, is that the userbase is just massive, and includes a lot of the world's infrastructure. That results in a rather different cost/benefit calculus around abstraction/performance tradeoffs than the ones for which object-oriented and functional programming were designed.

For example, I think that it's probably good for all of us that there's not really a whole lot of dynamic dispatch happening in the Linux kernel. I would generally prefer that my syscalls keep pointer chasing to an absolute minimum. But I'm hard pressed to imagine how a C++ style that avoids vtables like the plague could really have that much to offer over straight C. And it would simultaneously put extra code review pressure on the kernel team, since they would have to carefully watch to make sure contributors aren't introducing such things.

Similar concerns apply to Rust, mind. But it's much easier for me to see how Rust without trait objects could still bring something of value to the table.
Even in countries with fairly good covid situation (I'm in Finland) we are going to see excess mortality over the coming years, because right now as we speak, elective operations for heart surgeries and cancer operations are being postponed in order to make room for covid patients.

ICU wards are designed for normal operations at near-full capacity. Maintaining a large-scale vacant ICU capacity is both uneconomical and operationally very difficult (because ICU treatment skills are highly specific and learning, maintaining and updating them requires one to be working on the area).

> The vaccine hasn't stopped spread in rich countries, why would it do so in poor countries?

It has greatly slowed the spread. The highest vaccinated countries have almost stopped it. There is every reason to believe that high vaccination across the world would stop covid, and anything less will ensure continued spread (and mutations).

People demanding an all or nothing from a vaccine are missing the big picture.
Searching the CDC in Taiwan, I was unable to find any press releases announcing they bought vaccines from Fosun Pharma. Everything I could find said they only received BioNTech vaccines when they were donated. Please correct me if wrong. I assume "Taiwan region" is simply something to satisfy the PRC gov't (CCP) which believes Taiwan is a part of its country and governed by PRC.

Who says the hoarded bounty has to be evenly distributed? IMO it should go to those who need it most.

And even if the individual bump is small there's also one less thumb tipping the scales. Combined with campaign finance reform, more rigorous enforcement of bribery laws, and dropping first-past-the-post elections and things could really turn the corner.
Ohhh I can feel the river of hate flowing, good job!
Your interpretation of the study is wrong (and probably shows your internal bias in this matter).

I’m not suggesting it is a perfect study, but the methodology makes sense. The point is that if somebody gets hospitalized for covid-like sickness, then they’ll be hospitalized (and trackable), and they hope that is a stable cohort.

So you start with hospitalized patients with covid-like symptoms, then look among them and see who was vaccinated (and when), vs who previously had covid (and when), and then by looking at the percentage of cases caused by covid you are attempting to effectively compare the susceptibility to covid in the broader population. It works as long as the person is getting all of their medical care in your system and you have full tracking of them (which they do in the study).

And again, it isn’t perfect but there is no perfect study for this. And when they redo the study with boosters whatever the result is we know the real world effectiveness of boosters is 10x non-boosted do the results would be even better.
Of course it's a gaffe. Biden is visibly affected by senility. How could you think it's anything but a gaffe? Do you really think that if he was aware of systematic voter fraud strategy being developed that he would actually give a speech about it?
You're correct. Obvious and dog whistle are mutually exclusive terms.

But these days those words are treated like magical incantations by hacks trying to make it believable when they assign labels to the wrong'uns.
Passive safety (after you crash) can only go so far. Active safety (not crashing) can protect you far better.

You’ll never make a consumer vehicle that can protect its occupants in a 100mph head-on collision with a semi truck. But you can make a vehicle that turns that crash into a 40mph collision with minor injuries or even avoids it completely.

I rented a car recently that would steer back into the lane if you went over the line. It was great. Would definitely save my life if I fell asleep on a long roadtrip and started drifting.
Is there a way to refer to amazon retail site only? You say the word Amazon, and >99% of people think of the retail website.
It makes sense if you consider that EuroNCAP cares about safety for everyone, not just the people inside the car. I also drive a car lacking all the auto assists common in new cars, I'm confident in my own skills and I have a nice track record of no crashes ever, but at any time, I'm just one distraction away from an incident. Cars with crash prevention features are much safer on the road, for its occupants and for everyone around them.
That's an extremely uncharitable interpretation of the quoted sentence. Just because X is more approachable than Y to a person doesn't mean they're incapable of approaching Y. The sentence makes no claims in regards to a sysadmin's capability.

I don't think these ratings should be considered as absolutes, not can they be compared between years. Your car was a 4-star car when compared against other models introduced that year - if you were to replace it with another 1999 vehicle, you'd need to look for the same level of standards applied back then. But yeah, of course it's going to do worse against a 2022 model - but it doesn't automatically make it a coffin on wheels either.
My main concern is that the tests were done several weeks after the dose at the moment of peak immunity. No evidence I’m aware of of how long the neutralizing antibodies last for Omicron after a booster, though it would not have been particularly difficult to test samples at 2 week intervals to get a trend line. Ideally the higher protection would last at least a few month since that’s how long a infection wave usually lasts in the population.
Oh and it's illegal to lie in those ways (deceive potential customers) just about anywhere in the world.

And though there is legally gray area - majority of that tends to clearly be not ethical...

But you know - Elon "promised" self driving cars in just a month/quarter or so - how many years ago? IIRC he even said it would be good, no not good but best investment because such a car could earn you money on it's own ...

Not only that, but once the company owns it, they'll want to start managing it, making changes, etc. You run the risk of it becoming bloated with features, making it harder to maintain and the whole thing loses the reason it existed in the first place. Maybe that's a stretch, maybe not.

Also, if it does decreases work time by 3/4, guess what happens when the business finds out? Deadlines and estimates get pushed up, and everyone is expected to get that much more done. Sometimes, as a developer, you need a trick up your sleeve to keep your head above water fighting unrealistic expectations. If everyone has the same trick and it becomes part of your SDLC, the goal post just gets moved.
> Omicron deaths are still at zero

Omicron hasn't been around long enough to expect many deaths yet. Even the optimists need to wait a few more weeks.
I like PowerShell, but I'll agree with your first criticism, Verb-Noun makes less sense than Noun-Verb. At least it is pretty consistent about naming.

Complaining about long capitalized names with dashes in them is a little weird in a language that is both case-insensitive and has tab complete for everything though.
Yeah, I wouldn’t say that I’ve ever found Huckleberries and mushrooms directly adjacent, so much that I observe that they visually appear to like similar ground conditions, elevation, and perhaps tree friends. I’d further observe that Huckleberries do better in dry and shady forest floor by comparison to the affinity that Morels seem to have for water and moss. I’d also note that there is a relationship between burn areas for Morels that I don’t think is at all a factor for Huckleberries.
I didn't say it was just marketing - I was asking for additional data to shed light on how robust (or frail) this result is. I don't think there is enough in this press release.

>What happens? Everyone works 40 hours.

The people who work 20 hour weeks are upset and certainly dont work any additional amount. Daycare probably booms as a business.

Productivity plummets to tremendously low levels, economies collapse, massive numbers of people die, etc.

Less than half of doctors work 40 hours or less. Pretty significant number above 60 hours/week. Same for nursing and much of the medical field.

Firefighters have very long hours.

Truck driving and logistics pretty much depends on truck drivers maxing their hours at around 70 hour weeks.

Lawyers pretty much cant work 40 hour weeks without the legal system collapsing.

So right away, we are going to have people working different amounts of hours per week. It's unavoidable. This alone means you can never have 'equal outcome' A doctor who works 60 hours a week and still paying off med school loans cannot have the same outcome as a part time mcjobber.

That's the failure of the progressive tax. The progressive tax is some wierd attempt to make the rich less rich but instead generates significantly more income inequality as a consequence.

Very curious as to how this was determined:

"Although two doses of the vaccine may still offer protection against severe disease caused by the Omicron strain, it’s clear from these preliminary data that protection is improved with a third dose of our vaccine"

Based on the latest data, not a single person has died from Omicron, so what are they using to back this up? It's possible that Omicron is less deadly than previous strains, so what they're claiming may be kinda like saying "our water is wetter"...
> First of all they are much less expensive

Rocket / Missile launchers are just a tube. The launcher itself isn't expensive, its the programmer and truck platform that costs money.

> and you have much more of them, making them harder to destroy.

The PLARF has plenty of missiles. We can't destroy all of them anymore.

> They are actually likely to be cheapy than the cost of the missile used to shoot them

Drones are so slow you wouldn't use a missile. You'd use a CIWS, a $30 bullet.

Counter-missiles are extremely expensive, because the counter-missile needs to move faster and be more maneuverable than the original missile.

As far as dislikes, I've no reason to think that I KNOW what the 'true' dislike number is / should be or that somehow this hack provides the true value ... it just as easily could be something in use by the typical dislike mobs and etc...

Side note, folks really upset about dislikes thinking fighting the man .. are unwittingly playing the man's game by worrying about dislikes on some website.

LN doesn't really work either - it can't really guarantee that funds have been transferred until you close a channel (you commit the transaction on the Bitcoin chain). So, unless you trust the other end of the channel not to fraudulently close the channel, you can't actually consider the transaction settled. And of course, in the case of routes, there has to basically be end-to-end trust for this to work, or someone will be left holding the bag.

It also can't scale the way it's usually promised, in part due to Bitcoin's horribly low transaction rate (you can't open LN channels fast enough, given Bitcoin's transaction rate), in part because of limits on the number of transactions in a live channel.

And in practice, it seems it's highly centralized [0].

> It is a complete re-imagining of what a shell scripting language is. Hardly surprising that it isn't backwards compatible

By why does having richer return types necessarily mean you need to deviate from most other languages for the escape character (backtick in Powershell, but usually backslash)? That doesn't seem related, and it greatly impacts the initial impressions people get.

> The thing that disappoints me is that nobody from the *NIX world has tried to bring the same ideas there. They're good ideas.

I agree, and I hope someone does. But if they do, I hope they just focus on the ideas, and leave out the small and unimportant incompatibilities powershell decided to add.

Management commonly has a dumb understanding of economics and management. Particularly when they view engineering as a cost center.
Crash testing organizations have always been about advocacy. If you don't do what they find important, you get fewer stars and the negative attention that attracts.

There's always a balance in this approach. If the people buying the cars also want the things the advocacy group wants, the star ratings are relevant and useful; if they don't agree, the ratings aren't super useful and a 0-star rating doesn't kill sales. (Although, often a 8 year+ design tapers off in sales anyway)
I'm at the point where I don't buy anything from Amazon without checking the _producer's_ website first. It seems like 90% of the stuff on Amazon is just dropshippers who add $50 to the retail price and arbitrage from people too lazy to do anything but order from one website.

And it seems to be getting easier for companies to sell their own stuff. Most places seem to be using "Shopify" now? Fine with me. The integration is usually seamless and it has worked well every time I've used it.
Toward a Taxonomy of Trust for Probabilistic Machine Learning
Not really. With population vaccination rate nearly 90 % we have something approaching 30-40 % of hospital and ICU bed users vaccinated.

The risk of ending up on ICU is about 30 x higher here, when comparing similar demographics. Risk of needing to go to hospital is 19 x higher currently.
The person you're responding to is wrong (there have been lots of languages before and after Rust that have been used for systems programming), but there are also lots of legitimate reasons why Ada was never considered a serious contender: GCC's mainline support (via GNAT) still didn't fully stabilize until the late 2000s, and GNAT (AFAIK) remains the only unencumbered implementation that's broadly available. Rust has the same single-implementation issue, but is actively working on different codegen backends to resolve it.

For better or worse, the ship has probably sailed on Ada/SPARK making its way into mainline Linux.
Fair enough. I'm mostly considering those paragraphs as artistic expression - it's a work of fiction after all. This might be most of our disagreement.
Homelessness in Western countries is not about money, the people on the street are mentally or physically disabled or do it by choice.

It is essentially impossible to genuinely be homeless in the UK for more than a few weeks unless you just can't be arsed. There are huge job surpluses at the moment and the minimum wage is twice as much as is needed to rent a room even in London.
The whole concept that there are "core AWS services" living in one single zone sounds like anti-thesis to everything AWS should be about. What's the use of having all this nice distributed setup - and paying for it! - if a single failure in a single zone takes everything down anyway? I mean sure, maybe they built it on a shoe-string budget years ago - but since then, they had years and billions, and still didn't bother to fix it?
Knowing where you are is very much the problem. If you are 100 meters east of where you think you are, the sea mount you think you are 100 meters west of is a big problem. Inertial navigation systems tell you your position relative to your last "known" location, but if that last point was inaccurate, or if too much error has accumulated since the last point, you can be significantly off from where you think you are.

Couple this with the lack of good maps of certain sections of the sea floor, and human error, and a collision every couple of years becomes probable.
It's not a hedge against society collapsing. In that case nothing will help, perhaps owning land to farm your own food (if you can protect it).

The (tiny) investment I keep in crypto is a hedge when economies tank, or governments/central banks intervene. Eg, when bank withdrawals were frozen/slowed in Greece 2015, or when bank balances over 100K were seized in Cyprus 2013.
It's even sadder that there are people who believe that censorship is right. I have had numerous conversations with people who want more censorship, especially if it agrees with their worldview.
