American private insurance still leaves a huge amount of money to be paid by the patient, far more than my European friends and coworkers expected. Repeat for things like retirement, elder care, etc. and you end up needing to personally save more to handle things which are paid out of general taxes in other rich countries.

What you really need is a comparison which is adjusted for both cost of living and alternative careers for comparable education. I described this as an underpaid profession because the combination of high demand, rigid schedule, and low respect is the primary reason I’ve known people to leave it.

The underfunding plays into two of those problems because teachers are asked to handler more, larger classes which ensures that everything is always close to the breaking point. The “slack” which that forces to be cut are things like personalized attention and more involved lessons.
What parent means is that it's still random, as that person could just as well have lived 121 or 123 or 125 years.

But that's a trivial observation that doesn't really change anything. 122 wasn't never supposed to be "non-random" as in some kind of physical law. The natural law concerns the increased certainty of death observed as ages > 100 approach, not a hard and fixed 122 number encoded in our DNA.

PitBull/Bieber "Where to perform next?" online polls, that ML Twitter bot MS recalled (was it Tammy or something?) etc were all attacked by spam bot style flooding of votes and messages to poison the data, and it's a lot easier to just spam incoherent unpleasantries than it is to spam coherent substantial messages.

AFAIK Reddit's /r/space didn't have any obvious vectors of attack so after the 1,000th manual entry of the n-word the trolls just got bored.

Humanity is fine with creating unneeded suffering in others but we will alway draw the line at ending human suffering.

It is the same with the homeless. Society is fine with us living on the street but will give you immediate housing if you want to end your suffering by suicide.

So, we could restructure education and society in a way that would eliminate suffering.

Does anyone want to talk about that?

How I read nyanpasu64; I think that the point was that a web page will often have multiple png files -- often more than you have cores, so the gains of decoding a single specially-formatted png might disappear in practice.

iDOT seems like overengineering to me: Why not break up the PNG and tile them in an SVG? This should be just as fast, about the same size, and you'd never have run the risk of inventing your own format and implementing it badly[1]. Users would probably be happier with all their SVGs being faster than having specially-crafted PNGs accelerated (if given the choice)

Stretch Links for Better UX
Just like the preceding question, it depends on context.

In a huge organisation, it can work well to be very specialized.

In, for example, a smaller growing business with an engineering team of < 10, having a proper understanding of the context in which your code will run is a game-changer.
I agree.

The only addition: Often it is useful to design with microservices because it means you don't have to create and maintain them yourself. Even a database is a microservice. PhPMyAdmin (and similar) is a microservice, so are other Open Source projects I like: Celery, Sentry, Mailhog, Jupyter, Nextcloud even Caddy or Nginx. All could be considered microservices. Integrating them into your platform often makes a lot of sense.
By comparison I've worked with someone who pushed a '2 line fix' live which had fallout which lasted >2 weeks because their code was pushed without checking to production and had hard-coded their uid into the fix because it was a quick 'hack'...
The main reason when cornered was 'running pip install is too difficult to run the test-suite' (tests themselves took <30sec to run all ~300).

We eventually (1 week later) got permission to pull the release from our shared (pseudo write-only) storage area but as he was project lead he tagged a new minor version for his '2 line fix' without consulting anyone and our users were reluctant to move to a new bugfix release unless prodded with a red-hot poker.

Can't say I miss working with _some_ programmers turned managers.
Omicron is an evolution in the spike, which is what the mRNA vaccines focused on.

When the spike changes sufficiently, there is no mechanism by which the vaccine works, except in so much as that person may have already had sars-cov-2 with no symptoms and built additional immunity to other topologies of the system.

Since everyone will eventually host the virus at some time scale, the best one could hope for is initially being vaccinated, then catching a similar virus with no symptoms to build immunity and so on. Vaccines are simply preparation for the inevitable exposure to spreaders with R0>>1.

The java ecosystem is full of these abstractions, that are not outright security problems in themselves, but give rise to complex interactions that makes it hard to judge what the implications are.

This particular logging system has been used by millions of developers for the better part of a decade before any one single person realized the actual implications.

Don’t end with microservices either. Monoliths are your friend.
The bigger problem is: You not only have to trust their good intentions now, but you also need to be able to trust them in the future, as long as the script is active. Additionally, you have to trust/hope that the patch security is absolutely waterproof and does not give RCE to attackers.
This isn't even true in anything but a irrelevantly literal way, first of all. There are incurable diseases which can cause massive suffering. It would be irrational to live with one when consensus is that a cure won't be remotely on the horizon for one's lifetime. Sure, something could come up unexpectedly but you could also win the lotto too and it's irrational to play that.
Second of all, your argument invalidates all decision making and planning, so is really a reductio ad absurdum for itself.
Yeah, sure - US healthcare is bankrupt is as, and the Fed is actively ruining the savers and others who produce more they consume.

Yes, a view would be exactly how I would address the problem I described in my other answer above ("What happens if I need to change zip code representation in a data source that is read by multiple microservices?").

But this also means that we are now back into "YesSQL" territory, and specifically that we have to use a RDBMS which allows us to create Views.
Goodbye NoSQL, goodbye Key+Valus datastore. (Or maybe you will just create an extra "newZipCode" and mantain it in parallel with "ZipCode" allowing every other consumer to adapt at their leisure...?).

So it is another step back to "more traditional ways" to design a system... or a recipe for a disaster as soon as you start dealing with significant quantities of "state".

> If you plan on having biological kids

I do not, having a child is kind of a worst nightmare for me. And I'm male.

Oh and by the way. Many, many people consider kids a form of immortality. The "someone to leave in this world after I'm gone". The whole idea of "leaving something behind after yourself" is so crazy to me, and spending your best years (again, pay attention to how much aging influences everything including language) on raising a child to leave behind is just... So, yes, decisions whether to have kids at all are also not insubstantially driven by the impending death.
Yes, you can. After their last release you can follow Lemmy communities with Mastodon and add comments to posts. Just enter the URL of a Lemmy community in your search bar to find the account profile. And in case that doesn't work you might try search for @[CommunityName]@[lemmy.instance] (there are some issues to be wrinkled out still).
Work is much more than that - it enables you to feed your family. If there wasn’t a service economy and you had to grow or gather your own food, sometimes you would have to choose between changing a diaper and going to find more food.

That’s just what it takes to live, we forget that because of how far removed we are from actual survival. But take away modern society, and the world is much harsher and much less fulfilling.
I think you didn't quite get the point of engineers of different levels of quality, talent and opinions working on the same monoliths.

Eventually they tear down any boundary, even those in the build system.

Developer discipline is something that eludes many companies for lack of enough high quality engineers and awareness for the problem in upper management. It's easier to quibble over formatting guidelines.

I am well aware of that adage as well. But there's mounting [anecdotal from many directions] evidence that people get very easily onboarded in Elixir (sadly doesn't apply to Rust or Haskell or OCaml though).

So when trying to analyze this situation today, at the brink of 2022, it pays off to also add factors that haven't been there before e.g. newer tech that people can easily pick.

I am not trying to convince you to pick a new language btw, but I find your opinions to be just parroting some common wisdom that's fairly outdated at this point. Even if its basic premise still stands the devil is always in the details, and those details favour some of the more fringe tech a little bit more compared to some mere 5 years ago.

Thank you for sharing, and I agree with you-

In my humble opinion microservices are "hot" because in theory you can scale a lot with them if you are able to do cloud provisioning.
Microservices needs DevOps+Orchestration Service.

A good example of microservices architecture is how K8s is designed: I think it is an overkill for most average needs, so think twice before entering in microservice trip tunnel.

If you mean it's turning into a grinding and repetitive groundhog day, I concur.

We don't even use log4j and yet are fielding a steady stream of requests to reassure clients that we've mitigated against it, which hasn't been an issue because we don't use it (although we do use log4net with Stackify and it's certainly a possibility that may be compromised in future), and of course are having to audit all our own suppliers.

I encourage companies to post information on their websites about this so we don't all have to keep emailing you (I'm trying to get some info up on ours detailing mitigations, for similar reasons; once it's there I can send some all company comms and hopefully never see another email in my inbox with "log4j" in the subject line).

Of course, this whole issue is crucially important to deal with, but it's also frustrating because it's an entirely non-value-adding time-vampire.
Yes, this sort of explains my situation. A requirement appears down the line that just completely breaks the service boundaries.

An example being something like an online gun store, you have a perfect service that handles orders. It's completely isolated and works fine. But now, 2 years later some local government has asked you "whenever someone buys a gun, you need to call into our webservice the moment the order is placed so we know a gun was sold, and you need to successfully do it, or you can't sell the item"

Now you've got a situation where you need an atomic operation, place the order and call the web service, or don't do it at all. You could say just place the order, do the web service call asynchronously and then delete the order afterwards. But you might not have that choice depending on what the regulations say. You can't do it before you place the order because what if payment fails?

The order service should not have any idea about blocking orders in specific scenarios. And now the architecture has broken down. Do you add this to the order service and break it's single responsibility? Will this be a bigger problem in the future and do you need to completely rearchitect your solution?

My initial reaction was also tentative skepticism. Not that the package isn't popular, but that it must be hard to find real world interactions where you can successfully get a payload in, and a lot fewer still where you can actually execute it.

>> There might be only a handful of deaths once that happens

No that is what is ridiculous, the idea we will get down to only a handful. At best it is going to have numbers at the same level as the seasonal flu. At best, most likely the mean annual average it going to trend slightly higher than the flu

>>Sorry, that's ridiculous

It is not

>>If anything, the COVID deaths are underreported.[1]

Well you might want to read the study closer, they are largely complaining about "indirect deaths" from covid. I quote

"Indirect effects may include increases in mortality resulting from reductions in access to and use of healthcare services and psychosocial consequences of stay-at-home orders," "

I would not classify these as COVID Deaths, but rather deaths due to people panicking and creating ridiculous rules around COVID, something you are advocating increase use of in this thread, which will simply lead to MORE indirect death

A classic case of the treatment being worse than the illness.

To be clear, if you want to wear a mask more power to you, if you want to ask others to voluntarily do it more power to you, if you want to ask business you transact with to require it of all customer as is their right as property owners more power to you, but you cross the ethical line for me when you adventure into wanting the government to mandate you will onto others backed by the full force and violence of that government. I dont care if that mandate is in the form of mask, vaccines, stay at home order, or anything else, I oppose all government enforced mandates related to COVID 19

> Show said evidence, please, because there is ample evidence that open source software magically being reviewed by hordes of people is many times a myth.

It is outright ridiculous ( even malicious) to point to examples of bugs that were found _by 3rd party users reviewing the code_ as evidence of lack of 3rd party code review.

However, try to find evidence of issues found by a 3rd party reviewing a closed crypto system .

There is a literal objective benefit to having an open system, and that is why every engineer worth its salt is nowadays going to consider a closed crypto system as the snake oil it is.

> Security by obscurity is a very valid defense-in-depth measure. There's a reason you disable "debug-level logging" on production webservers.

This is also missing the point. What is meant here is that a crypto system should not rely on obscurity of its design (rather, the design should be open for cryptonanalysis), not that you have to provide friggin debug- level access to every implementation of the system, even production.
