"In this work, therefore, we specifically sought to explore individual and population-level trends in infant
and early child neurodevelopment. Analyses of cognitive development, assessed using Mullen Scales
of Early Learning [40], a population normed and clinically administered tool that assesses function
across the five primary domains of fine and gross motor control, visual reception, and expressive and
respective language via direct observation and performance, provides some of the first direct evidence
of the developmental impact of the COVID-19 pandemic."

"The Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) is a standardized assessment that is commonly used in clinical psychology as a developmental measure of cognitive development (Mullen, 1989, 1995). The MSEL is organized into 5 subscales: (a) gross motor, (b) fine motor, (c) visual reception (or non-verbal problem solving), (d) receptive language, and (e) expressive language. An early learning composite score can be derived from fine motor, visual reception, receptive language, and expressive language scales. For young children this early learning composite score is considered equivalent to a more traditional “IQ” score or a developmental standard score."

Well, we did until the mid-90s. North Atlantic fishing hasn't been as unregulated as to presume "limitless supply" for about 30 years.
Tough to get a life when work takes up so much of our time. I think that's why people try to find or build careers they can love.
I'm frankly astounded at the complexity around modern development due to dev ops and how much worse developer experience is because of it. I used to develop in a great IDE with debugging, right click re-run failed tests, I could follow the console right there in a nice, clean window integrated with my IDE, click on stack traces, etc.

Now I'm running my app via multiple docker images, trying to get a buggy remote debugger protocol to work (no local variables, wtff?) where I have to coordinate the container and the IDE, command line wrangling / using print debugging in the container to chase down stuff, digging around through multiple log files, copying-and-pasting stack traces into my IDE to analyze, which kinda works in some cases since the file paths are different, and on and on.

DevOps came and took my nice dev environment away, and I am mad.

Developers typically care about developing the business side of the application and have little interest in the rest.

Actually, it can even be split in three, where developers are done when the Pull Request is done.

Deployment, tooling and IaC is then handled by developers who specialize in this area.

A third group is then responsible for audit and security on the chosen platform, e.g. Azure.
> It's certainly what we say we do

It's what people say for their own vices and faults, freedom! Other people's vices should be banned.

That's why freedom isn't meaningful when we talk about ourselves. Everyone thinks themself should be free; it's freedom for others, especially those we don't like, that is significant.
Thanks for posting propaganda.

Pumping enough to be self-sufficient and actually BEING self-sufficient are entirely different things, which you would know if you spent any time looking at how the oil market and oil refining works. The US does not have the capability to process enough crude to fuel the country, and never will.
My comment in another post about how there are really two versions of Windows 95, and most of the things you describe didn't exist until the later versions, not available until 96/97:

As an addition to this, it's worth remembering that the retail version of Windows 95 did not enable TCP/IP out of the box. While it was included, you had to separately install it yourself. The default protocol was originally NetBEUI:

I agree with you. Of course everyone in higher education would be against it. It would force universities to consider a student's likelihood of repayment, and in doing so it would ruin their enrollment and cost them a bunch of money. Every school would probably have to halve their faculty if they didn't have a federally guaranteed honeypot. It would completely upend the current state of affairs. Imagine how many kids go to University of Alabama strictly because of the football team. Imagine how much enrollment would drop if most of those students couldn't get any more loans because they weren't likely to repay them without federal protections (either going to a different school that provided a better value or exiting higher education completely). Now imagine this going on in some form or other at literally every college/university in America.

With all that said about how drastic it would be, I agree with GP that it is the only real solution, and everything else is either temporary or addresses a symptom instead of the cause.

> Seeing how African populations are extremely diverse and we're just seeing the extent of it I would refrain from making such definitive statements.

There's no reason to not. Holocene expansion of farming/pastoral populations all over the world (including Africa) has largely homogenized human ancestry into identifiable distinct strands that is in varying proportions. Africa is indeed diverse genetically but it is not magic or anything. It most likely comes from the earlier mentioned multi-regional model within Africa through drift and admixture with highly drifted populations. And almost all of these populations outside of those of North Africa were outside of the Neanderthal range and we have archeological evidence to support this as well. There is no logical reason to believe in an (outside of the obvious example of historic West Eurasian admixture in the Horn/North Africa) African population with non-trace levels of Neanderthal ancestry. High levels of diversity in Africa does not imply a significantly large population with non-trace levels of neanderthal ancestry.

Teltonika, Ruptela.
It looks like just a responsibility and you might only see the trouble they make when you don't have them. I use to see the same way.

When you have a kid, seeing them smile and grow and all thi gs they do gives the happiness you might have never felt before. Closest thing you could compare it to might be when you create something (a painting, project etc) and in the process each small accomplishment gives you a spike of happiness. Here it's a kid who cries for a need, and then you solve that need and make him smile. You make a human smile who can't even tell you what's there problem and make them feel protected enough that they sleep without a care in the world. There is lots of fulfillment steps in the whole process.

That's the best I can explain what it is about.
While it is possible you could use an Apple AirTag in this way, there are a number of facts that don't add up in the story. Supposedly the AirTag in question was "thrown away" so there would be no hints as to how it was attached. Also, if you are being unknowingly tracked by another person's AirTag you can disable the tracking and notification if you are worried about it: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212227 and additional steps at https://www.macworld.com/article/345863/how-to-find-block-di...

If you are worried enough to drive to someone else's home, why would you go to sleep with the tracker still on the car without disabling the tracker first?

No doubt that this sort of tracking is possible, but there's much here that needs some questions answered. If it was a ploy to get people to be aware of the possibilities of AirTag tracking, then I suppose that should be disclosed.

> Governments are a reflection of the people. They're not some nebulous, abstract entity; they're literally made and run by people of each country. They're chosen–or in some cases imposed–to represent the people to the world. Even in dictatorships, it is the people that choose for governments to remain in power. When that stops being the case, governments are overthrown, and a new set of people take power.

This seems closer to the mandate of heaven[0] than an explanation of how governments work or why they are overthrown.

Here's another explanation based on The Dictator's Handbook: Why Bad Behavior is Almost Always Good Politics by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith. The 18 minute video The Rules for Rulers[1] has a great summary of the principles from this book.

Dictators and elected representatives have the same problem; they must keep control of key supporters and reward them in order to remain in power.

Dictatorships have only a few key supporters - heads of the army, secret police, treasury, etc. Popular support isn't required; if these people are content with your rule, you will remain in power. If they aren't, you will be replaced.

Democracies have many more key supporters; we normally call them voting blocs - suburban voters, Hispanic voters, non-college voters, evangelic Protestants, etc. Popular support from these groups is required and this difference is why democratic governments change between parties so often.

Yeah, there's a long current in art, across all media, since at least the Industrial Revolution of antipathy to perceptions of modernity, technology, and hyper-rationality. Which then metastasized after the wars in the early 20th century, especially the Great War (WWI). Some of it -- especially the response to the wars -- is fair critique; some is rose-colored and reactionary. And this notion of "science" on one side, "art" on the other, course spread to the wider culture.

I think the personal computer and digital art have been healing that divide somewhat.

I don't see limiting people's freedom to do things harmless to others, except in extreme situations. But what about limiting the production and sale of a poisonous, addictive substance?

At least it should be regulated to remove the addictive properties. Why hasn't that been done? Is it technically conceivable?
Except they clearly did consider it? And made many countermeasures, from beeping loudly after separation, to releasing an open source first party app on the dominant competing platform to show what is going on.

Completely agree with all of the above, but there are also some structural problems to resolve, for example:

1) We've dumbed down public education to the point that college has become a near necessity just to function in society - or certainly to get a job in a society with over the top education requirements.

2) We would need to provide a "third way" where those skill paths that don't really belong in universities can be met. We'd need to further fix decades of telling our kids that they have to go to university and instead convince them that they will do just as well being welders and plumbers.

3) We'd need to accept as a society that there are worthwhile skill areas that just aren't profitable to higher education. For example, I'd argue society benefits from anthropologists and classicists, but if I'm being realistic I acknowledge that widely and cheaply available student loans make departments like these possible. So it brings up some uncomfortable truths about the society we want to be if loans are only available to those departments and future professions most likely to yield a profit - for the uni or the individual.
The US military isn’t war weary. The US public is. And ultimately any US politician who launches yet another war will likely lose their job very quickly.

Obviously China is dependent on world trade. What’s laughable is not reading what I wrote, in that China can afford to lose trade ties with one or two nations, although not all at the same time. Whereas no single country can afford to lose China. That gives China the high ground - it can threaten any single country with a boycott. And it has done so successfully.

As an ops guy: You’re absolutely right.

For better or worse I’m constantly annoyed by developers trying be “special”. Most projects involve stuffing things into a database, calling a webservice and reading stuff back. Don’t try to be clever about it, just stick to one type of database and Springboot so we can all go home and sleep with no incidents.

But there are projects which really do need to be different, and we don’t deal with them well, and they don’t scale.

In this particular case, it's biased because Google Books includes much more fiction and many fewer scholarly works after about the year 2000. Link to a response of a previous article by this same group: https://www.pnas.org/content/118/45/e2115010118.short

> This trend is also supported by Kubernetes as this is a technology which is hard to master.

Maybe this is rich coming from a Kubernetes person, but sounds like the tide is turning against this viewpoint.

Running Kubernetes itself is definitely hard to master, but you can take a <10 hour online course and be able to "helm install" your application.

Kubernetes can be the new PaaS (if you have someone else running the control plane and maybe a monitoring stack). But there's not a PaaS on the planet where you can just skip the step where you learn about it. Even Heroku users eventually have to learn about how connection handling and limiting works, and the specific Heroku commands to upgrade your database.

An iframe allows one party to securely embed something from another party. Ads are one example of this, but so are embedded videos, tweets, etc.

How is a common consumer-grade device not less effort than intentionally purchasing, setting up, and deploying a custom spy gadget?

3 boys at home, all with a COVID-19 infection last December. The one already after the puberty got long COVID, the one "in the start of puberty" had only mild long COVID and the youngest one (7) was asymptomatic.

Some friends noticed also this puberty "cut". But statistically, I cannot tell if this is significant or not, because you never have the information "12 good in puberty" or "11 no signs of puberty yet".
It wasn't necessarily the standard or even the majority, but we had that with Sysops whenever "the build team" or "the deployment team" was building self-serve tools.

And I definitely agree with the article here that if you're using PaaS, you don't need a DevOps team. And there's certainly a better feedback loop there.

But many will argue that PaaS _still_ isn't there yet for highly complex applications. Unless you go to a point where you basically need a team managing the eventual complexity that PaaS adds back to things for you to achieve complexity.

In any case, this is mostly pedantry. We should all strive for simplicity as much as possible, but complexity in apps breeds complexity in organizational structures. DevOps was never a silver bullet, and there probably won't ever be one.
