On the same subject, I only recently came to know that "Kraamzorg" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraamzorg) is not or hardly offered in other countries.

When you become parents (whether that is for the first or the nth time), a specialized nurse will visit your home for 24-80 hours spread over multiple days to help with anything required. If it's your first, she/he will mainly focus on teaching (how to bathe a baby, how to give breastfeeding etc.). If it's your second or more, the focus will be more on keeping the house tidy (vacuuming, cleaning up) and helping with the older kids (getting them from school etc.). And all the while, the kraamzorger will keep a log of the baby (weight, temperature, how often it poops and pees etc.) to make sure it's healthy.

Seriously, I don't know how I would have handled having my first newborn without the hands-on-live-counseling kraamzorg provides.

Everything goes JS (and derivatives) now. At some point we decided to throw cores and RAM at the problem instead of optimizing for speed with limited resources in mind.
Just so you know, it's not just you. I switched to using English since ~6 years, and almost never use my native language (Swiss French) anymore outside of exchanges with old friends and family. I feel that my clarity of thoughts took quite a hit. And thinking in my native language now requires a lot of effort as I got used to construct my thoughts in English.

On top of this I currently live in Germany, when I speak with my life partner (native German speaker) it is mostly in English, with some German words, and a few random French words and idioms I have no idea how to translate, so we have a tendency to reuse the same limited vocabulary just because it is easier to communicate.

Seems a bit weird, it'll be fun to find out what the mechanism for this effect is. It seems strange that 2 doses does nearly nothing, then 3 doses suddenly causes the body to figure out Omicron.

Something interesting is that the Omicron mutation seems to very much be about vaccine escape, natural immunity through prior infection offers some protection (linked paper, figure 2C). It isn't totally out off the question that something about the sort of people who get boosters is skewing these results. Table S1 (last page) suggests there are a lot of healthcare workers in the booster sample, maybe they are also people who's immune system is also getting primed from exposure to real coronavirus.

For precision, "foutre" is actually cum (semen). Although younger folks are not familiar with this meaning and use it like the verb "do".

Even a very large amount of data pasted should not blow up a text box in 2021. I mean, on Windows you can paste an object referring to a data blob pretty sure, macOS surely has something similar and on X/Wayland you could sniff and size of data pasted in advance and do something useful. If it's plain text like JSON even 5G of plain text should not bring a text box to its knees when the memory is available, it's not being rendered at the same time ... still getting irritated by Firefox taking forever to render a 10M email source code in plain text when it could do something smart and render/view only the viewport that's showing. Somewhere GUI engineers stopped being smart.

Kubernetes and VictoriaMetrics in Mist v4.6
I remember when they stories came out they were released in a suspiciously coordinated way. Once one died off another was released to build up momentum again and keep the idea humming in the public consciousness.

I figured that it was done by a big party that had a trusted relationship with tech journalists because they bigged up vulnerabilities that were relatively minor to journalists who didnt seem to be aware of it.

It's possible it wasnt Microsoft but the pattern of stories indicated Zoom was a public relations target of someone who freaked out after seeing how fast they were growing and MS certainly took full advantage.

>> I've been working on reducing the habit of repetition. I think it comes from (feeling like) people not listening to you.

I used to belive this, but after some horizon-broadening reading/listening that went far outside of my usual technical inclination, I noticed that there are some that are deeply convinced that repetition is the key to effective communication with normal people (by which I mean most non-technically inclined ones). Just listen to managerial podcasts (for example www.manager-tools.com) or read any book on marketing or NPL programming. Most of it is probably bullshit but there is one theme that persists through all of this (repeats, if You will :)).

I started to wonder if my drive to not repeat myself is somehow deeply connected to my technical life (I spent most of my life programming, DRY-ing my code, and reading complex technical books that cannot afford repetition because the material is too dense).

And maybe this is not how the real world works - maybe the other 95% of it needs everything repeated till their ears and eyas bleeds - otherwise they will just ride through it like they ride through their facebook wall.

There is no difference between what is injected.

It's more like a retraining program. It's almost like the difference between short and long term memory. One shot will turn on short term memory after a week or two. Repeating shots will turn on long term memory.

But what I personally think is interesting is that a natural infection works longer and broader after just one 'dose'.

It is amazing how complitacted the immuunsysteem is. And I also think this is the reason we should be careful with giving healthy young people the vaccins.

Monkeys could barely create software if at all. That means you have set a low badness bar for Teams to surpass.
I lived in England when I was little. My parents were doing their PhDs. I suppose their English must have been good, but every time someone came over to do some job (say a plumber), my brother and I would have to translate.

Nowadays, a few decades later, I find it easier to fall into my English accent instead of trying to pronounce everything clearly. My wife says it sounds chopped up.
Exactly.

For all my harsh criticism of both Microsoft and Google I wish them well: I want them to tidy up and become trustworthy.

Because the alternative where China becomes world leading is actually worse.

For all their warts Americans and American companies have done much good and gotten way more criticism for their faults compared to others.

That doesn't however mean that they should get off the hook easily, only that we should work to put them in an position were we can actually trust each other.

ymlgen: A powerful tool to generate YAML files
Why should open source software be exempt? If your data gets leaked/abused the license of the software used does not matter in the slightest.

If anything, freeware (whether open source or proprietary) should be exempt from costs. You get what you pay for, after all.
I was not happy with the current solutions to generate YAML files in the Kubernetes world (helm, kustomize) so I built my own tool.

It uses the EDN format and the Aero library to do so. EDN and Aero gives me powerful readers (and I can also add my own) to generate YAML files efficiently.
I'm a firm believer that the onus should be on the current development team to explain this to you. That is unlikely IME to happen without you asking.

What happens next will be an iterative process.

Do some initial investigation - don't waste time figuring things out, we just want a set of questions and areas to explain at this stage.

Ask for some help from the team - perhaps 30-60 mins, perhaps with different people to cover off the topics. It's essential that the team contribute - firstly they owe it to you, secondly only they know the background. Which bits of the codebase were experimental, which bits are ancient relics being removed, what's the direction of travel, which parts have subtleties. "Unknown unknowns" (to you).

Now "pay it forward". Ensure that the next person to join the team has a better time. Maybe this is writing some documentation - be it architectural, a glossary of domain-specific terms, updating/culling outdated docs. Maybe parts of the codebase could do with some re-organising or renaming to make it more self-evident. Perhaps the build/test process could do with some care...

I've done this several times, and after 3-4 hour sessions with "the one person who understands" (and a few hours writeup), we now have good documentation, better standards and multiple people including new joiners who understand. The guru also appreciates having more people to bounce ideas around with and no longer being overloaded with this work.
As mentioned in the thread, it's more like it's an ad for a book. Including cross posting it here.

We were lucky restoring from backup worked, it had never been tested before. We were really lucky the CEO and the other coworkers took it so well.

And we were extremely lucky that the CEO was more interested in preventing such an outage in the future than in playing the blame game. I have a hunch this kind of situation can get really ugly once people start loosing their cool.
Sure.

My point is that any company that makes a co-operation product, but which excludes a demography from co-operating, should know they are causing harm.

Imagine if slack excludes Android. Or Google Meet excludes Apple devices. That is not only a poor product, it causes minorities to be excluded. Or divides the companies or teams using it. This is what Tuple is doing.

I'm blaming both Tuple for not including Windows and Linux up-front, just as well as management adopting such tech that has these clear limitations.

In this practical case, the Linux (and Windows) users joined later into an "mac-only" team. Tuple, however, was the major cop-op tech: they refused Slack, accidentally used Telegram (!?) and email, and when using Google Meet all engineers refused to turn on webcams. So as a non-Tuple-using person you were really kept out of the loop.
In other words, as I said in the very post you replied to,

Date and time handling is one of the areas that is surprisingly difficult, for something that appears "simple". It tends to cause a lot of frustrations, and I can see this person struggling with all the different use cases and wants the readers to know it's not their fault. Otherwise it could generate questions in support forums.

“Don’t be afraid to do nothing.”

The author doesn’t mention that his article is the latest in a long line of “bubble’s about to pop” articles that have been steadily written since around 2014. Sure the stock market is in a bubble. But I would be sad if I had spent the last 8 years waiting for it to pop.
I strongly disagree with the author about Italian words being simple to pronounce by just knowing the alphabetic pronunciation. My favorite example is to try complimenting an Italian woman by telling her she is a magnet ("calamita") for your eyes. If you pronounce it wrongly ("calamità"), you'll be telling her she is a natural disaster for you eyes.
My first thoughts on seeing the rendering of the embryo was that 1) it looks like an embryo bird (all the more with feathers depicted), 2) that an infant or juvenile dinosaur might look and act quite birdlike, including feathers (possibly for warmth / thermal regulation, and as camouflage) and hopping, perhaps even some winglike structures and functions of arms, and if that's the case, that 3) birds evolving from dinosaurs might well be a case of neoteny --- not the evolution of new body forms and functions, but the retention of juvenile characteristics into adulthood.

And it seems I'm not the first to think so.

"How Dinosaurs Shrank and Became Birds" (2015)

Not only are birds much smaller than their dinosaur ancestors, they closely resemble dinosaur embryos. Adaptations such as these may have paved the way for modern birds’ distinguishing features, namely their ability to fly and their remarkably agile beaks. The work demonstrates how huge evolutionary changes can result from a series of small evolutionary steps.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-dinosaurs-shr...

And as Steve Brusatte is quoted in TFA:

“This little prenatal dinosaur looks just like a baby bird curled in its egg, which is yet more evidence that many features characteristic of today’s birds first evolved in their dinosaur ancestors.”

https://newatlas.com/biology/fossilized-embryo-dinosaurs-bir...

If that's the case, then it's not so much that birds evolved from dinosaurs as that birds are juvenilised dinosaurs, exhibiting characteristics which were once typical of (at least some) dinosaur species.
Serious question: does anyone have a plausible end game mapped out? No one bothers talking about what's going to happen 1, 2, 5, 10 years from now. There's no talk about herd immunity or anything besides the immediate concern of getting the last holdouts vaccinated. Places like NYC have 90+% vaccination rate and a lot of political effort is being put on that last 10% hold out, but then what? Is vaccine as a bi-annual service really practical? Is a better vaccine going to come out? Is it just going to mutate into a dud?

My concern is for the other symptoms of covid that could compound. Taking your vaccinations and boosters will generally keep you out of the hospital, but what of the other consequences? Cardiomyopathy, damage to smell and taste, and cognitive impairment could all be cumulative. What happens if they are and we're subjected to decades of repeated damage?
Apparently in America it can cost tens of thousands of dollars to give birth in a hospital.

Also, 'skin-on-skin' contact after giving birth is a chargeable extra.

We don't know how fortunate we are here in the UK with the NHS.
So, the relationship between the number of doses and omicron immunity is highly non-linear and pretty unintuitive? (Recent vax vs recent booster)

The anti-vax community is going to love this.
That's not what squatting is about, and that's not what i meant (you're building a strawman argument). I was arguing that "property" is an imaginary construct and cannot be "stolen", except in the sense that some person will evict you from your residence due to Nation-State-enforced belief in this piece of paper.

Of course personal possessions can and should be protected and there are in fact regulations (even in places where squatting is legal) protecting your residence against burglary or people coming to live in your place. This is a well-defined problem that has nothing to do with private property as we anarchists understand it.

Private property is precisely the institutional system that gives power to someone else over your home. We anarchists believe the land belongs to those who inhabit/work it and no higher superstitional paper (property title) is valid.

> the MacOS and Linux versions are left to die basically.

I hate Teams as much as the next guy, but I'm not sure what you mean by this. On Linux, I have version 1.4.00.26453, vs 1.4.00.32771 on Windows 11 (installed fresh today).

Also, the Windows experience is just as atrocious as on Linux, so for once I don't get the feeling that Linux is a second-class citizen. If anything, all citizens are last-class.
GPUs are the slowing factor in general if I'm not mistaken when it comes to Deep Learning progress.
I think it's just the team that makes Teams is cut from a very different cloth than that who makes VS Code.

Smells a bit like someone in MS saw VS Code's success and drew the conclusion that it must be because it was built with Electron, and if only all the other bits of MS who churn out crappy gunk would use Electron then they'd churn out flawless gold instead.

Well, they churned out Teams, make up your own mind I guess.
