Code Smell 110 – Switches with Defaults
The problem is that many people who think that they are 'healthy' without comorbidities that make covid worse are, quite frankly, deluded.

"Nearly 40% of American adults aged 20 and over are obese. 71.6% of adults aged 20 and over are overweight, including obesity." (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2017-2018; Harvard School of Public Health, 2020).

So 71.6% of American adults are at elevated risk for severe Covid. Because even just being overweight increases your risk of hospitalization if you get it.

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7010e4.htm

So IF the unvaccinated have the same demographic profile as general US adults, then 71.6% have an elevated risk of hospitalization if they catch Covid because they are overweight and unvaccinated.

You will notice that there is no political affiliation in that conclusion. Also, risk is not actuality, and levels of comorbidities vary from person to person, so population risks and personal risks are different.

Now, as to how many have actually had covid and been hospitalized I will admit that there is a perception difference based on political affiliation. But for that data, I will respect the actual statistics, not my perception based on displayed attitudes.

Basically, the problem is that a lot of adults think that they aren't fat, or don't know they have high cholesterol, etc. and are declining the vaccine because they are 'healthy'.

Any tips or lessons learned on working with the non-technical folks? This is a struggle I am dealing with and am constantly trying to improve in. They want to do things their way, which might work okay but is inefficient and not in line with the technology goals of the company. Hard to wrangle them - they run off and do things without talking to me or the people in my department, not considering the plans technology has. I've been a CTO in the past and though I am not in that role now, we don't have a CTO and I am best suited so trying my best to fill in...
I'm not sure if I've asked on HN before, but I so wish for something RPI-esque that use usb-c both for power and display output (and actual usb as well).

It would be really cool to have a bus-powered thin client I could just chuck in to the usb-c cables attached to monitors at work. Have it boot really quickly and just open up VNC/RDP/≈Citrix...

But no, the only one I've found is the pretty expensive Intel based Lattepandas, although I see they currently run a Kickstarter for a new one[0]. But sooner or later someone must build a ARM-based one with some usb-c magic chip on them that can concatenate power/video/usb in one port.

OP talks about 'work' in a particular way, as does the author of the piece. What we need is food, shelter and so on. 'Work' as in conflict with 'life' (i.e the work-life balance) is a social construct.

It didn't always use to be that way, and it doesn't have to. That we have physical needs is a fact. That we have alienated work from life, or family, or expressing ourselves is not. That work created an absentee father is not in the laws of physics, obviously, but that it's hard to perceive it as anything else is what OP pointed out, and that's something worth paying attention to.

The idea that you have to 'move work around' (kind of sounds like moving garbage around) wouldn't make sense to a person who is able to express themselves in their work. Ask a craftsman for example, an artist, or someone on a family farm.

The fact that people are detached from their work, that they're objects of their work, that their work dehumanizes them in extreme cases, that is a result of a particular mode of production we are living under. Someone for whom their work is an extension of their life, who are not detached from the products of their work, and for whom work strengthens their social relations, there is no work-life balance, because there is no work-life conflict.
Parental control sounds like something the OS should do, not an app. From that viewpoint, I think you chose an application that inherently has a risk of being taken over by Apple, and frankly, you should not be surprised that something like this happened.

The main issue I've heard with 'popping' the bubble isn't that you cut yourself off from the rest of space permanently, it's that there's a collection of everything that would have been along your path time dilated sitting right at the edge of the bubble that flies into the bubble all at once and is pretty nasty for anything in the bubble.

I don't know about a cover, but the notice at least in France for venlafaxine (Effexor) are quite clear about the increase of suicidal ideation in the first week(s), during which neurotransmitters rebalance. I was briefed by my doc and it still was quite the experience, trying the whole day to keep myself from jumping in front of trains, cars, or from bridges, windows, cars... Like 'WTF is happening to me'.

I also had very strange differences in mood or tolerance between brands of generics, that I'd never had before with any med. I'd go from OK to crap in 2 weeks and my wife would link it to prescription renewal and pharmacist giving me whatever brand. I used to think it didn't matter...

Oh and venlafaxine is a bitch to taper out. Constant vertigo, nausea, ringing and tingling, migraines and the fun panic attacks...

> I find these attacks happening even when inactive and relaxed

In the initial stages, attacks do occur mainly under the mental/physical load. The condition slowly but steadily progresses to everyday attacks over several weeks/months.

In the later stages, attacks may even occur during the night when a person sleeps or tries to sleep. A person may have several attacks during the day at this point.

Neither of these is correct. High-value signaling is difficult to fake. If what you want to signal is wealth, then signaling is expensive. But if you're looking for a job, you probably aren't trying to signal wealth. Signaling competence doesn't have to be expensive.

I cannot envision a problem that a checksum in the HTTP protocol would fix that TLS wouldn't also fix.

You have to ask yourself "How would this get corrupted"? If the concern is that the data ends up somehow mangled from an external source like a bad router or a lose cable, then the data simply won't decrypt correctly and you'll end up with garbage.

So that leaves you with an application bug. However, an app is just as likely to add a checksum for an invalid body as they are to add one for a valid body.

So, the only fault I could see this fixing is an application which, through corrupt memory or something else, manages to produce a garbage body which fails it's checksum but... somehow... is encrypted correctly. I've never seen that sort of problem.

> it's not true that people are infectious just because they've been vaccinated

Does anyone believe this(???). This is just crazy. I figured that the purpose of a quote like

> people who have received the vaccine can spread or shed the virus

is to say something like,

"The virus still spreads in a vaccinated population."

"Therefore, getting vaccinated, while it helps you, doesn't help others, and doesn't help 'end the pandemic' sooner. I.e., it doesn't lead to (vaccine-based) herd immunity."

"Therefore, you have no reason to be mad at your neighbors who refuse to get vaccinated."

I don't know if all that's actually true -- I assume that vaccinated people are at least somewhat less likely to spread COVID (nothing is ever a sure thing) -- but it's at least not crazy.

Have I been too charitable?

I don't know what to think these days. Words and phrases (e.g. "herd immunity") seem to just be trigger-words. I sometimes can't even detect logical thought. So it seems entirely possible that people are spreading these even more crazy ideas.

But I'd thought the argument was for something more plausible.
Rust users are the only ones who have convinced themselves that linked lists are "obsolete" (i.e., "myth 3"). The fact that something that in most other languages could be accomplished effortlessly now requires so many epicycles, where some are better than others, is a polemic.

Doing rust the "right way" you end up with FP just by a slightly different path: make everything immutable, clone data, use multiple returns and so on.

Is the packet loss rate being measured? That's the main cause of head-of-line blocking delays.

Are both ends using persistent TCP connections? If you have to re-open and redo the TLS crypto handshake each time, that's a huge overhead. Does Caddy implement that? Is the CONTENT-LENGTH header set? If not, each asset is a fresh TCP connection.
When I worked retail, I met a lot of people who I would bet didn't find the work rewarding at all. They were there to get the paycheck. Most of them did as well as they did because they felt it was the right thing to do, but some only did well enough to not lose their job.

The older I get, the more I understand those people who only did enough to keep their job. I used to feel it was an ethical obligation to do my best, but I'm realizing that that is a one-sided view. The opposite argument was always "they don't treat me as well as they can" or something like that, and so they excused their own behavior... And I get it now.

I have no doubt that there are many garbage collectors who find their job rewarding... But I've also no doubt that there are many who just do it for the money, and would be just as happy (or more so) if their needs were met by society and they could concentrate on something they enjoyed instead.

FWIW, I think it's important that people do things that they feel contribute to society. But that doesn't have to be "work".
Didn’t mean to split the log shipper for sake of security but since you brought it up :) RCE in the app allows reading secrets the application holds in memory, a lot more difficult from another process. And if you run the log scraper in a less privileged container you could restrict the blast radius to basically nothing except shipping fake logs to the central system.

But sure, take this reasoning too far and you end up with micro service spaghetti, so some balance is needed.
> The Unix philosophy of “do one thing well” doesn’t actually work that well. Dan Luu explains this better than I could.

That quote from the Uncomfortable Truths article is strange because Dan Luu doesn't explain that "it doesn't actually work well". He just explains that the philosophy is not consistently followed, but he is not unhappy with it.
Maybe it's a small company / tech team, but I have to wonder if you are experiencing these feelings because as CTO, your time as a developer is really in the past. What I mean here is - sure, in some companies the CTO is still a hands-on-keyboard role, but over time, your role as a hands-on developer should begin to diminish and your responsibility becomes to delegate those duties to people in your organization you trust. Your responsibilities and skill set move away from low-level technical. If that upsets you, then I'd question perhaps you'd be happier in an individual contributor role and not in a Cx0 / managerial role. That isn't to say that a CTO role isn't technical, but that it is operating at a different level.
>Intellectual stimulation, or goals that stretch one's abilities, don't have to come from work

Your reply is entirely reasonable but it seems the gp already covered what you wrote and anticipated it in his disclaimer: ">It needn’t be employment,[...]"

He just happened to use the imprecise label "work" -- which is so tainted and overloaded that one can't re-use that word to also describe "non-employment intellectual activity" because it inadvertently tricks people into talking past each other.

(E.g. Notice that you used "work" as synonym for "employment" but the gp did not.)

I was CTO at a company and ended up managing a team of just under 20 developers and although I didn't feel the same way as you do right now, I did absolutely feel that my technical skills were becoming increasingly rusty. The Javascript revolution passed me by, Typescript was a mystery to me, all sorts of interesting things were happening in the cloud and I just wasn't hands-on with any of it.

Although my management and business skills were continuing to improve (and, I think, got to be quite strong), the loss of my technical competence did bother me. I ended up leaving and now I'm working as a CTO but with no team - more of an individual contributor, at a senior level in the company. I write code every day and over the past year my technical skills have mostly returned, and I've gotten to learn all sorts of exciting new stuff.

With that said, one of the biggest things I've learned is that, once you know how to write software, it's not that hard to get back into it. Learning Typescript has been straightforward. VS Code is a joy to use, but hey, Xcode was pretty great too. If having strong technical skills is important to you, then you have to change your focus and get back into it. But know that you can do this any time you want. On the other hand, if you value the skills of people management, reporting to a board, managing investments, etc., those are things that are hard AND valuable.

At the end of the day it's just about choices, you can't be great at everything. Good luck!
