>and particularly how much COVID caseload affects other hospital operations i.e. delayed surgeries etc..

And what is more important, the people with deadlier diseases who didn't get surgeries or treatments that were postponed, the screanings that weren't done that could allow an early treatment of someone who is sick too, to prevent other persons that could potentially become sick?

>Humans survive for millennia because we react rationality to situations, not because we just lay down and die.

Read again, you totally missed my point.
In Sweden, and probably most of Europe as far as I would guess, the European/International Article Number [1] barcode system is used. It encodes the country first, so yes.

You cannot get cash from foreign cans or PET bottles, since the deposit was not paid here.

In MI it is the same, small stores manually do it. You hand them a box with 12 cans in it and they credit you $1.20

> relatively new dad

This is probably a core reason for your problem. I would bet that you find it difficult to adapt to the new normal. You now have less time to yourself and many more constraints to deal with. That's just super stressful. Here's my advice as a not-so-new father:

1. It's OK to be stressed. Don't stress out over your stress level (Meta Stress).

2. Things will get better.

3. Take some you-time. Do whatever helps you. Cardio is an excellent idea, like jogging through brisk winter air. But make sure to communicate and coordinate this time with your SO.

4. Get your priorities straight. Once I made the conscious decision that kids are more important than work, I could let go of work projects easily when a child became sick and needed care. Communicate this openly with coworkers and bosses.

5. Plan for vacations and other breaks auch that you have one every two months. For instance, maybe the kid(s) likes a weekend with the grandparents? Or the family goes to the zoo every once in a while? This will help to reset your stress level.
This is a core problem in education, BTW: people, regardless of age, are essentially unable to properly evaluate whether they actually learned something from e.g. a course they just completed, and what helped with these learning effects. Those after-course feedbacks mostly just reflect whether they liked the presenter and/or the group. This of course has problematic consequences if that after-course feedback is used as evaluation of the course itself, because it can penalize courses where people would actually learn - because learning sometimes simply isn't fun.

Well, not everyone needs to do a reverse vending machine. Just hand them back to the cashier and he returns you money. Goes that far that when a restaurant sells a full bottle they need to take it back.

We have this system also in Germany since the late 80s (I think) and it works very well. Current incentive ranges from 8ct (beer glass bottles ... beer lobby always has exceptions ;)) to 25ct (plastic bottles)

2. Proper knowledge requires proper contemplation & synthesis.

I used to collect cans and bottles. Nowadays I don't know where you'd even take them to redeem them; there isn't enough money in it to justify paying sonebody to sort them; an entire truckload of cans wouldn't pay for the gasoline to drive them to the store.
I have a feeling that this is the next religious war in dev.

I read this article and shudder in horror at, well, all of it. I like static sites (that wouldn't take minutes to build if they were written in a decent language). Adding lots and lots of JS dependencies and frameworks gives me the screaming ab-dabs - it's just adding complexity and dependency. I like writing code, not plumbing together bits of other people's code with bizarre config files. I object to CodePilot for all sorts of reasons, but fundamentally because I enjoy writing good code.

But I know experienced devs who have exactly the reverse opinions. Like OP, they see all this as going in the right direction and making their lives easier.
> C++ offers significant benefits over C in the embedded space and its been impossible to gain traction.

Wasn't it Arduino that tried to establish C++? I could never see the advantages to be honest, but I didn't really use too much C++.

Header files mainly provide semantic descriptors to otherwise pretty hard to memorize memory addresses. A format like SVD would provide the main benefit for other languages though. Even non-ARM-processor manufacturers use it.

I believe many embedded devs long for "high tech features" like unit tests, which of course would require some form of formal simulators and peripherals. That problem goes far beyond the choice of language though.

Validation is an extremely hard thing to do for embedded system outside of a specialized laboratory. Memory safety is almost laughingly trivial compared to that.

"Several distinct problems manifest themselves as delays in launching: working too slowly; not truly understanding the problem; fear of having to deal with users; fear of being judged; working on too many different things; excessive perfectionism. Fortunately you can combat all of them by the simple expedient of forcing yourself to launch something fairly quickly." —Paul Graham

Excessive perfectionism was a big one for me. It is insidious because important matters like software architecture and testing frameworks are really just forms of bike-shedding until the software is shipped. I took the advice to heart and sometimes wrote code that was smelly but got the job done. Guess what, my product is launched and when I smooth out the rough edges nobody even knows the difference.

Also, TFA praises Tailwind CSS as "solving CSS", and as great as it may be, I guess that statement lacks a bit of nuance.
Honestly, and I understand this is possibly a hard pill to swallow for anyone that really believes in devops, most devs don't necessarily think in the right mindset for high reliability and performance often required for that role. And most sysadmins don't think in the right mindset for application development and getting features specced and out the door. What you're left with is a position mostly staffed by people that are a poor fit, even more so than the regular problems hiring for either.

It's sort of like expecting you can get by with only sales engineers. Having someone good at either job is hard enough, expecting you can staff only those that are just as good at both? Reality is you'll just end up with people deficient in one area or the other.

You might get by with a small core of people that can successfully straddle both roles, as long as you don't expect them to fully handle the needs of both departments, but I suspect hiring only for either department and fostering good communication and encouraging them to work together on projects that help deployment and availability yields better results. Maybe that partnership will grow you some good devops people if you're lucky. Maybe you should resist making a department out of them if that happens.

The brouhaha about Rust Unsafe was about code that used it where it was not needed (because you could write safe code that would optimize to the same thing), or used it incorrectly (not marking code that was only conditionally "safe", thus exporting unsafety to "safe" code potentially across Rust modularity boundaries.) And the actual issues got resolved rather quickly.
> Weird side-effect: homeless people might ask for your empty bottle and do the collection. Not sure how I feel about that though…

It becomes a respectful cooperation. When you party in a park, you place your containers next to a trash so a homeless can pick it up without searching the trash. They basically help you partying hard (and not caring/carrying about the bottles) and earn (by hard work) a bit of money.
In Finland the deposit is 0.15€ per can. You quickly learn to calculate that out when coming with cost per litre... So it only takes some getting used to.
Say 5 cents per can, and say minimum wage is $10/hour. Then you would need to collect one can every 18 seconds.
Absolutely.

I often say that "doing the right thing wrong" is more important than "doing the wrong thing right". In other words: the choice of which problem to solve is more important than how you solve it.

I imagine the part of the problem is that once the bottle is broken, or the barcode is damaged, there is no incentive to return it anymore.
Meltdowns are a common feature of the lives of Autistic people.

Mostly it is about managing your levels of stress and knowing your limits. And lots of good strategies rather than therapy. One thing I realized is I need a lot more sleep than I had been getting. And I need to ration social 'work' (that's how it feels - hard work).

Autistic people are very prone to trauma - basically they are hyperspensitive to many stiumuli and emotions - so there may be residual trauma to deal with. But there are multiple ways to do that.
> Phone sex numbers are treated specially in Greece?

Yes. In Greece, you look at the back of the head of the person you're having sex with. Thus talking during sex - or phone sex - is just plain weird.

I watch Netflix at 1.25x and YouTube at 1.5x-2x - but this is mainly because I find some shows/channels a bit too slow at 1x speed.

Some YouTube channels are unbearable at 1x speed due to the slow speaking speed.

3x speed probably is hard to genuinely acquire knowledge effectively for most people - although I have heard of blind people who do 2.5x-3x with ease, so who knows.

This reminds me of the multi-tasking myth.

> you need a regulator preventing misinformation

Who would be the regulator? How would the regulator be chosen? How would information be determined to be misinformation? When something truthful is named misinformation, what happens? When a political group accuses this regulator of suppression, what then? When your political opposition gains control of the regulator, what then? How would this regulator also comply with the US Constitution, particular its free speech guarantees?

I feel the same way as the author but I work with php. Recently it's all been TDD, statically typed, and JavaScript gets web packed into one or two files so instead of juggling 15 script tags I only have one or two and a style tag for css. With CI this all happens in the background on every commit.

What you pay for when you hire a dev like me with 17 years of experience in the field is the ability to know which libraries are the best to use and which techniques are worth using in the process.

I was lucky enough to recognize similar behavior in myself a long time ago, and I 'fixed'[1] it by getting a lot more organized, and by looking for potential problems ahead of time so I can route around them. I'm a huge fan of things like "pre-mortem" meetings to work out where blockers might occur as early as possible and mitigate the issues before they're blockers.

It takes a lot of effort. There's no magic fix like sleeping more or going for a run. They make me feel a bit better, but the problem is still there.

[1] My partner is a therapist (not an arrogant one though), and she says what I do is 'catastrophizing behavior', where I look for things to worry about. She's entirely right. My issue is 100% not fixed but it's not a problem any more. If anything it actually makes me a much better developer.
I avoid having accounts on those sites - partly due to privacy but mostly because that keeps me from actively interacting which is such a fruitless and frustrating time sink.

You assume no reinfection.

It is possible to get to 100% population death if you assume 0.0001% death rate where the 99.9999% reinfected over and over untill they die. That assumes reinfection.
No it's not, because your website will not get traction unless you SEO the hell out of it, pay google ads, pay for FB ads, pay some blogger to write about it etc. It's impossible for a website to be found when the top spots in every search are capped by a few known players. It's easy to make a private web page, but that's not a website.

In fact the best time was about 2005, when most current day's media sites started, because it was still possible to be found.

All "cookie management providers" should be banned. Cookies are meant for a specific website to remember information about a visitor, every website should manage their cookies themselves. Together with the HTTP referer field (and referral URL parameters perhaps, maybe also IP addresses geolocation - this is questionable but let's be honest) first-party cookies are sufficient for all reasonable visitor tracking. Both can be disabled by a user who doesn't want to be tracked but are enabled by default.

(I live in Portland, so). You get to a point where everyone has the same problems, and the only way you can solve them is by being civil with one another. That is civilization.

[edit] Just to reply to the spirit of what you said... there's something very reassuring about just being civil and decent. Pleasant, clear, logical, respectful or doubtful of authority; making yourself a person with other people. This is the ultimate power we all have that can't be taken away by any state or any authority. Civilizing the savages has taken on other connotations, but you can't beat civility. Politesse.

"In the olden times"... POTS service in most places wasn't just used for serious/bad events. Perhaps in 3rd world environments.

The OP was making a present for their grandmother's 80th birthday, in 2021, so their grandmother was born in 1940 or later. Someone in their 80s these days is unlikely to be so cognitively impaired as to be worried by phone calls.

They're more likely to be facetiming with grandchildren from their iPads/iPhones.

In Australia, POTS service was universal and the call costs for local calls was untimed and minimal (perhaps $0.10/call). Timed calls were for longer distances in Australia (STD) or for international (IDD).

Unless you're talking about up until the very early 80s, when long distance / international calls required operators.

If you replace "intelligence" with "flying", it becomes more apparent why there is generally little interest in artificial life as an approach to develop artificial intelligence (although there are small conferences on this approach).

In general, to recreate something from nature, so far we have not needed to recreate nature as a whole. It is not clear why we need to treat intelligence any differently.
