I've observed this issue over and over at a dozen tech companies I worked for. They're not interested in deliverables IMO, they're interested in employee head count and total compliance.

The far-right parties in Europe are usually focused on immigration rather than race. Look at the Brexit parties in the UK, the big enemies were the Poles. And the FN/RN in France has always taken pains to show that it is "pro-black" (and anti-brown..)

That is a quite improper expression to describe a situation which also covers the inquiry "What is going on here, I am seeing absurdities, lunacy [esp. with regards to said «counteraction»] and I am witnessing facts that simply do not match narratives".

Same in my case. I am a music hobbyist, and invested some money in tools that work only on Windows and MacOs.
Of course, I could start from scratch, learn a new tool, pick up some compatible vsts, but really it is not the same.

When the day comes when I have no longer the choice (i.e. I am forced to upgrade to windows 11), I may reconsider everything: should I make the switch to MacOs and their closed OS ? Should relearn everything on linux, and loose some of the professional tools that I am using ?

This, crazy management always backfires

At a previous job we had to log all hours of the day, with a comment, in existing tasks. I felt like my work time was spent mostly making stuff up to manage management expectations, instead of development

In Ruby the main thing that bugs me once in a few months is a silly typo - calling a misspelled ivar or method. It happens maybe once in half a year but it's still humbling when it happens.
It's rare because usually your IDE is very good in spotting these mistakes - even in Ruby, and also decently tested code should break right away.
But I do wish and hope the tools will become better - whether it's Rubocop or something completely new, that the chance of this happening will be almost zero. It's not there.

Domino Effect
I'm not sure what I'm looking at.

> Such would be evidence of immunity that is equal to that of vaccination and the immunity should be provided the same societal status as any vaccine-induced immunity.

They advocate for infection having the same status as vaccination, which is reasonable, and the policies, at least in the west and in the countries I'm familiar with, they take previous infection into account.

> Again, the Marek’s disease in chickens and the vaccination situation explains what we are potentially facing with these leaky vaccines

Then they mention Marek's disease in a gross (yet common) misunderstanding of the causes of such scenario. Luckily, humans aren't stacked up onto each other in direct contact 24/7.

> This follow-up chart is the most updated and comprehensive library list of 139 of the highest-quality, complete, most robust scientific studies and evidence reports/position statements on natural immunity as compared to the COVID-19 vaccine-induced immunity and allow you to draw your own conclusion.

OK, let's go through a few:

1. Results are unbelievable (0 reinfections among +1000 people who expose themselves daily) but the methodology seems solid otherwise. No complaints.

2. In vitro, small sample.

3. Conveniently skips "When allowing the infection to occur at any time before vaccination (from March 2020 to February 2021), evidence of waning natural immunity was demonstrated,"

4. Doesn't even talk about COVID-19 vaccine-induced immunity.

5. Shows that vaccine antibody titers wane faster than natural immunity. Interesting given that previous studies from the list focus on how T/B-cell response is much better measure than antibody levels. Kinda moving goalposts, but OK.

6. Shows 1/10 reinfection rate among infected vs infection rate among general population (since the study is from February 2021, I'd say that's roughly 90% unvaccinated). Doesn't compare against vaccines, which was the original point of the list? Funnily it directly disproves the unbelievable numbers of study 1, and this looks equally solid.

7. Says previously infected may not need a second dose (conveniently skips that they may need one).

8. Doesn't compare with anything.

9. Titers at 5 months after infection, hardly interesting.

10. Immunoglobulin levels, 2020, hardly interesting, doesn't compare with anything..

From this point the list seems to decrease in relevance to the point, just showing that infection gives some immunity, which is hardly what anyone is arguing. Some just talk about measles (55), others about possible cross immunity (85, 109), but overall it feels more like a vague Google search than a curated list of anything.
The purpose of inflation is to increase employment - which happens by cutting wages. If wages followed inflation, then it wouldn't have any effect on employment. Adjusting employment with inflation is a central bank policy. There's nothing surprising here.
That's a country specific problem, not a Europe problem. I don't mean just Brexit for the UK, either.

What does happen in Europe is far-right parties get a platform to speak on. The big continental countries have an election process that lets everyone be heard, and the far-right get heard plenty - allowing the electorate to smell their bullshit.

In the UK we don't have such elections. We have a two horse race, and token efforts given to fringe parties, and state media that are "maintaining balance" by constantly inviting candidates who haven't been elected after 8 attempts to frequently tout their bullshit (and critically without being challenged on any of it).

The far-right thrive here because they are unchecked, unquestioned, and ultimately not properly exposed. They relish in the "underdog", "cancelled", and/or "repressed" argument to win votes.

Also when our leading party receives £160k from the wives of former Russian minsiters to play tennis with the prime minister[0] you have to wonder who is really pulling the strings.

Not sure about this reasoning. I have a piece of rock with a unique shape. There is no other piece of rock with this particular shape, so it's incredibly scarce. Still it doesn't mean it has any value.

Study of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron superspreader event in Oslo
Given that vaccines don't affect transmission at all, but do suppress symptoms, any such lawsuits would run in the other direction - people who can't take the vaccines due to allergies etc suing people who did, on the grounds that they knew or should have known that they'd become invisible spreaders and dangerous to those who couldn't take vaccines.

But in reality no sensible court would allow such arguments in either direction. Trying to assign moral culpability to an invisible body state you can't sense is idiotic and dystopian.

Trade unions can easily be run as maffia organizations, as it happened in the US in the 20th century.
You're completely right.

Yet in 99% of your peers, OECD countries, those regulated domains are generally more regulated, not less. And we're talking about 40 countries or so, many as diverse as the US, big enough to be comparable.

How do these data point for into your narrative?
There are two kinds of case-insensitivity in identifiers. In either cases identifier cases (and in this case, also underscores) are normalized, but case-agnostic languages would allow any mix of them while case-pedantic languages would disallow any pair of identifiers normalizing into the same name (they may still give helpful errors based on that normalized name though). I don't think case-agnostic languages provide a new value not provided by case-pedantic languages.

Best performing asset in the history of mankind. Removes counterparty risk. Removes middlemen. Privacy (if you work for it.) Better uptime than your bank and credit card network. Is a better way to login to things, self sovereign usernames and passwords, which are easy to use across all platforms (if they would stop with the lock-in.) The most transparent trading in the world. The highest yields in the world for those that want to just provide liquidity and have less risk.

A platform for things I don't like, but others love, customer rewards programs, collectibles, proof of ownership, timestamping. Removing the government money printing press from free war funding, and perhaps requiring a war tax, would reduce military globally. An impossible to fake record of the past, if you pay to write to the db.

You can get loans 24 hours a day with no signup that allow you to pay less tax by not selling the asset and paying capital gains, and just living off the borrowed money (like the wealthy have been doing for decades.) Shall I continue, or will you be ignoring all these features and benefits anyway?
That doesn't contradict what they said, it reinforces it even:

Very common. It's hard to quantify the mental work done, so we only measure kilos of code written.

I do think though that anyone that has written code should be able to understand that it's not as simple as sitting down and typing fast.
Although smart contract audits are pretty much security theatre where the auditor charges $10k-$30k to run your code through a program, rug pulls are way more common just through simple methods.

A few common ways:

1. Use your admin privilege to withdraw or upgrade the smart contract to drain the funds

2. Withdraw all liquidity for your token and disappear

3. Sell the entire token supply all at once, which is functionally equivalent to (2)

4. Pretend to get "hacked" and lose your private key

5. Program a backdoor into the smart contract (the least common way). Some of these are economic in nature (e.g. frontrunning), which can't necessarily be found in an audit
Same here, I really recognize this. There are times I really peak. Most times I really don't do much. I don't lie in startups really, maybe I'll say I'm working on something when I just opened a doc and glanced at it. Which is lying, ok... But I do often finished the work in time, but just in very intense sprints.

Are you hosting multiple ruby versions and multiple apps on one server? Because as I explain below, that is the main (but not the only) cause of many issues.

Execjs, libreadline, libsqlite3, lib-postgres, (older)nokogiri etc. Quite a lot of the headers keep being a problem. Not major, often a mere ddg+apt-get away, but still annoying. It does get problematic when you have multiple apps depend on different libreadlines, for example.

And I'm not often deploying java, but at least the runtime and tooling has become omnipresent. The latest deploys were a mere "move all files there, and restart the service". With Rails you at least need to rebuild the gems.

Often java-services are an `apt get jenkins` away. There is no equivalent apt-get gitlab or apt-get mastodon that just sets up the stack entirely. But that is probably due to their popularity more than technology.
Just in the nick of time ...
Wow, you are right, that's terrible.
Yes. Like make, it lets you define tasks with dependencies and targets, and rebuild only if one of them have changed.

But I prefer it because:

- it runs anywhere you have python.

- it uses a clean syntax, and the parser is great at telling you about errors since it's python.

- you get access to python's stdlib: string formatting, maths, etc.

- you get access to python's ecosystem. Want to deal with timezone, hashing, crypto ? Sure you can.

- you get access to python's tooling (debugger, formatter, linter).

- you can still just use bash if you want. Easy things stay easy.
Well not exactly. You have to look at it from an organisational perspective, and not from an employee perspective.

If you have systems (and that is any function, also cutting onions in the kitchen) that relies so heavily on one employee that you can not continue to operate them without that person then you have a serious issue.

Because you don’t retain employees, and your goal isn’t to keep them forever either. Even if they are happy and stay for 40 years they will eventually retire and then the system tend to break down anyway, and that’s with planned departure. What if your vital employee gets run over by a truck on the way to work?

So from an organisational perspective, it’s not an entire IT system vs one employee. It’s removing a flawed and dangerous system from your organisation.

Some people will argue that employees who design such systems aren’t worth keeping to begin with. I would agree, if the world was perfect, but it’s not.

Looks like people are using three different definitions of "meme".

* Richard Dawkin's original definition, who invented the term "meme" in 1976, even though the idea of memes and memes itself existed before

* pictures with text at the top and at the bottom, I believe originating from the "advice dog" meme

* some well known internet joke, like the hunter2 thing from bash.org which is repeated on reddit whenever someone mentions passwords

Man with Glasses (2015)
10 to 5 years ago a bought a lot from Amazon, I had packages in flight most of the time. Today it is close to nil.

It has been replaced by specialized domestic shops: electronics, t-shirts, pants, lamps, carpets, bike parts, health items, food, etc. Many shops are small and located "in the sticks".

5 years ago I thought Amazon would kill them. Today it's Amazon that's gone from my shopping.

India’s per capita PPP is ~6k$ USD per year, but it’s not equally distributed. Ignoring economic growth and assuming a population distribution that eventually looks like the US (16% of the population over 65) allocating say 8% of GDP to the elderly would provide a standard of living better than most of them had 20 years ago and in fact many would see an income bump at retirement.

Of course that doesn’t pay for significant medical care etc, but I also ignored economic growth. By the time India has US style age demographic breakdown things should look significantly better.
Why is "Twitter" a stand-in for "tech" as a whole. Tech definitely is a tool as the author says. But Twitter is a company with a tech stack and a website and incentives to feed people content that keeps them looking at ads.

One of the popular remote-focused sites seems to have mostly stale (> 30 day old) posts. And many job boards are littered with TopTal spam.

If I understand right, the equivalent in python wouldn't be

d = literal_eval(r.decode())

But rather:

Wouldn't that be pretty insane if the those two code fragments were functionally equivalent?

That shows that there's a need for a specialized database of cases where physicians can search for symptoms and add new information.

> NSO has said it sells its software to governments to combat terrorism and serious crime, and isn't responsible for how it may be misused.

Such bullshit. In the Nuremberg trials in the aftermath of the Second World War, several directors of IG Farben were held responsible for shipping the chemical Zyklon B to the SS which used it commit mass murder. The court rejected the defendants argument that they weren't responsible for how their product was used. Similarly, NSO and other spyware companies are responsible for how authoritarian regimes use their products to harass and endanger dissidents.

But think about how we got here.

In US you can get 100 mil in liability damages per injured person in lawsuits, which doesn't make any sense when you consider that with that sum you could save thousands of lives (poor people, ...)

So you could easily be made to pay 10 bil for causing vaccine damage to a 1000 people, while disregarding the hundred of millions the vaccine saved.

Do you think that would be fair?
Government is also heavily involved in car manufacturing and air travel those have become much cheaper.

The real reason is non-scaling vs scaling, IP like tech and entertainment and internet are incredibly cheap to scale. Manufacturing has also become a lot cheaper and automated.

In contrast, things that are supply constrained (housing) or mostly depend on human labour have become expensive. A nurse spends approximately the same time per patient as 100 years ago, a car requires a fraction of the human labour compared to 100 years ago.
