If you're going closer-to-the-metal cloud, then yeah. I think that's part of the allure of newer, more abstracted cloud hosts like Vercel, Netlify, Gatsby, etc.

They take care of all the infrastructure for ya, and if something breaks, you just twiddle your thumbs while they twiddle the dials.

Of course this sort of laziness is not a valid approach if you're a huge enterprise or running some live-saving project that needs seventy nines of uptime, but for non-critical websites, it's a great sigh of relief...

i'm not citing the opinion piece as a general endorsement of the wall street journal, or even this article. merely citing it because it condenses the evidence showing that CFS patient advocacy groups are heavily funding many of the prominent long covid organizations.
So I'm trying of think of something monastery like, but without the religious aspect, and I'm really drawing a blank. Since you basically surrender your life to the community and ultimately to whoever is leading it, the religious element seems almost necessary to make this work. I think the only exceptions to this are probably something like the military or meditation/yoga practice communities - but they almost inevitably come with religious elements to them(although in some you can be much more lax about actually subscribing to the spiritual elements).

Environment (in general) is what determines skill set, not the other way around. If the interview process makes you focus on leetcode skills, and your manager focuses on LOCs produced and hitting story milestones and less on spending time integrating with the team and learning about legacy codebase; it makes sense those who came out of this environment would be less prepared to tackle certain kinds of problems.

I mean, because you're wrong? Even with the recent outages, AWS still has far higher uptime and support than anything that someone could cobble together in their own small company. That's the advantage of using cloud infrastructure financed by billions of dollars.

>BTW, it's already kind of true that only the rich own cars, car ownership correlates very strongly with household income.

Of course it correlates. Rich households can afford more cars per person and can indulge in specialized vehicles (e.g commuter car).

Rich families have a sedan for each commuting parent and maybe another less specialized car (e.g. minivan or 3-row SUV) that only sees weekend use. Poor families pile into a Saturn.

That the ability of the poor family to own and operate that Saturn confers a far greater standard of living jump than cars 2-N do for the rich family. It also has a much greater impact on the health of the broader economy.

To intentionally place monetary constraints on vehicle ownership would be unwise because you have to price out all the poor before you start making meaningful dents in the (relatively) wealthy professionals who commute across the inner suburbs and into urban environments.

MIT's Toolkit for Editing Classifiers by Directly Rewriting Prediction Rules
Scheme directly supports call-with-current-continuation (which CL doesn't) and it requires tail call elimination (which CL doesn't require but most CL implementations do it anyway). Scheme also has slightly easier syntax for dealing with functions in function position, at the cost of potential namespace clashes.

Some schemes (e.g. Racket) provide immutable data structures.

So I guess Scheme is slightly more functional than CL but with the exception of call/cc the differences are so minor that it doesn't matter.

I’ve never once felt like strong typing has prevented me from solving unknown problems. I won’t deny that there have been occasions where I’ve had to redefine a type across a large code base and that has taken me half an hour to a hour. But I’d take that over type validation at run time.

For me, having strict typing helps with unknown problems because it gives me greater confidence that refactoring wouldn’t introduce subtle regression bugs.
Of course I'm not speaking about being unable to reproduce an experiment because you don't have the lab or tools available.

There are exceptions. During the holocaust, Mt Athos sheltered Jewish families including women. Meanwhile, to avoid destruction from Hitler during the German occupation in Greece, they wrote to Hitler asking for his personal protection... which was granted

From another article: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-36378690

"One of the traditions is that the Virgin Mary was blown off course when she was trying to sail to Cyprus and landed on Mount Athos. And she liked it so much that she prayed to her son that she should be given it as her own and he agreed," says Speake. "It's still called 'the garden of the mother of God', dedicated to her glory, and she alone represents her sex on Mount Athos."

This applies to both humans and domestic animals, except for cats.

"There are a lot of cats around and it's probably a quite a good thing that there are because they are good mousers. They turn a blind eye, as it were, to the fact that there are female cats," says Speake.

Like so many rules, it seems to be enforced strictly, except when inconvenient.
You're just defining satisfaction of wants as utility. "Things that satisfy wants have utility" is a statement of a definition, not a synthetic claim. There are plenty of measures of utility other than hedonic ones (or volitional ones, or whatever exactly your definition is specifying).
Its a multi-focal lens. My optometrist and another friend both have them. It splits the incoming light and you need to focus with your attention, not mechanically, which is interesting. The downside my friend reports is that reading requires a very bright light because not all of the light is falling on your retina.

I just got an implant in one eye a month ago. I chose single-focus at distance. I would rather deal with reading glasses than the other oddities, but I did consider the option.

BTW the implant surgery was quick and simple and life is much better afterwards. Recommend.

Leaving aside all of the possible confounders for the difference in severity of Covid-19 infection in men and women, it's not the case that women on average have more body fat than men. So for a "healthy" man and a "healthy" woman, the woman would tend to have more fatty tissue, but more men are overweight. UK figures show that 40% of men are overweight, compared to 31% of women. In the US, 74% of men are overweight, compared to 67% of women.

He leaked /nothing/. No really. Absolutely nothing.

He published documents leaked by others as supporting evidence for his journalism and to allow other journalists to use the source material. The documents were redacted in partnership with the Guardian, New York Times, Washington Post, El Pais, Le Monde and various others who also linked the source documents.

As soon as you have a standard for what doesn't qualify as journalism because you don't like it you have state controlled media.

The sheer quantity of lies about what he did or didn't do is really quite mind-boggling - it's so easy to check.
They cant raise interest rates. If they do it will be nominal. We have too much debt. If we raise interest rates we will bankrupt ourselves. Inflation helps us chip away at the debt .
1. Maybe actually read my comment, where I acknowledge that post-covid sequelae are absolutely a thing. I myself experienced long-term sense of smell screwups.

2. Psychological components of an illness are still an illness, and I'm not suggesting that long covid is a "fabrication." You need to get over your internalized stigma, psychological effects can be incredibly powerful.

People experiencing CFS get similarly outraged when people suggest there is a psychological component to the disease. This is due to stigma. Indeed, if anything, CFS is good evidence of the strong impact that even a (probably) psychologically derived illness can have on one's physical well-being.

3. Even saying that something is at least partially driven by the media does not mean it is not a "serious" problem. Media coverage of high profile suicides leads to a measurable increase in the number of suicides in the general population. Those people killing themselves is not a "fabrication" and is in fact a really serious problem. i would be surprised if we hadn't seen something like cfs for covid emerge given the level of scary (to be clear, not irrationally scary, justifiably scary) media coverage around covid.

Note that in `good` below, one can have many such lock guards: lk1, lk2, etc without any explicit lock release expression in the body of the function.

std::mutex m;
void good()
{
std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lk(m); // RAII class: mutex acquisition is initialization
f(); // if f() throws an exception, the mutex is released
if(!everything_ok()) return; // early return, the mutex is released
} // if good() returns normally, the mutex is released

> The suburbs has [net] benefits for your gifted son

The zeitgeist has a knee-jerk belief that children are best raised in the suburbs, and I think it's important to assess that belief critically. Children can and do thrive in cities. To pick just one example children, especially teenagers, have a lot more agency and independence when they live in walkable neighborhoods with a robust public transit network. In the typical suburb, anything beyond playing with friends who live on the same street requires a parent to drive them around. This harms the utility of both the children and the parents.
...'The Matrix' is based off a real-life movie.

If they are trying to make a game based off that universe, with the same actors/actresses, why would they not aim for the most realistic possible portrayal possible?

Your statement also ignores phenomenal games like Flower, Journey, NiGHTS Into Dreams - your statement even excludes the Mario series. Even 'Halo' has imaginative worlds that can benefit from photorealism.

Photorealism does not remove creativity. It's also a standard, a boundary to which digital artists have aspired to since the beginning of the medium.

You might as well ask why realist painting is a thing?

Rule of law is being followed. A lower court judge ruled that there was a risk that Assange's well-being could not be safeguarded in the American system. A higher court judge reversed that ruling on assurances from the US that his well-being would be guarded. Now they have an opportunity to an appeal to a still-higher UK Court.

What's inconvenient here is that the rule of law is operating in the context that the US and UK are allies and therefore take each other's statements on good faith. The United States assures he will be protected, they are not an enemy nation, and there are extradition treaties between the US and the UK. Unless the UK has some kind of carve-out for countries with bad track records of keeping their word, that might be sufficient to satisfy the rule of law.

Enjoyable example for sure. I’ll add it to my list.
It is simply a mistake to use constructions such as “utility gain for the gifted son from living in the suburbs would be larger than the utility gain for the disabled son from living in the city”. Utility is first-person relative to the decision-maker. Your assessment of the utility of each outcome is dependent on your subjective preferences relative to the options. You, the decision-maker, do not, and cannot, know the subjective utility values that your two sons would assess to their own outcomes.

Subjective utilities are not fungible, you cannot ask Son A how utility he expects and then compare that number with the answer Son B gives you.

Thus, if you prefer A to B, yet you somehow wrote down that the utility of B is higher than A, you just made a mistake somewhere. Utility is just a scalar valued encoding of subjective personal preference. If you are using it in some other way, e.g. pretending that you are accurately measuring the subjective utility of your sons (rather than your own subjective preferences) than you are going to get weird and usually useless answers.

Some people do use utility in such a way that they assign numbers to other people’s well-being, but doing this always leads to unresolveable paradoxes such as the Repugnant Conclusion, because it’s just not how people think and decide, nor should it be.
It won't stop the inflation. When inflation is due to printing money, the only thing that can be done is to sit back and wait for it to work it's way through the system. All raising interest rates would do is trigger a rerun of the Savings and Loan Crisis, as the huge quantity of long term, fixed rate, low interest rate loans, is suddenly devalued by short term, high interest rate loans. (Which is probably going to happen anyway, because Central Bank control over interest rates can be more than slightly illusionary at times like this. (Lenders can work out inflationary devaluation rates just as well as anybody else can.)

2008 was a very different scenario, the money that was printed then was forced into a narrow loop within the financial system and just used to sanitise a lot of bad debt away from the banking system.

In some sense, the eventual logic of the last 20 years of massive increases in the total amount of debt circulating, due to loan securitisation, was that that debt would have to be devalued to make it repayable. And here we are.
Majority of Orthodox Churches didn't switch to Gregorian calendar, some of them did, although some only partially.
