Thank you for the detailed response! My experience seems to be different, as in my opinion immer solves a problem that should not arise in nice code (in most cases) - state should not be that deep anyway. It also takes away a bit of the simplicity of Redux which is its greatest strength, imho.

But as I said, I still highly recommend Redux Toolkit. After dealing with the code using MobX and the complexities brought by its reactions, I would take Redux anytime. Immer is just a small unfortunate detail, but I can live with it.
Did you find any statistics saying that?
Yeah.

Adding to this, emotion informs rationality. There is no purely rational reason to do anything. It wouldn't be rational to avoid death if we didn't fear it. It wouldn't be rational to eat food if we didn't desire it. Rationality requires feelings like for example desire, disgust, fear, anger, hope to motivate performing any action what so ever.

It's essentially the is-ought problem, without feelings, rationality alone only presents us with things that are, not what ought to be.

If Spock was purely rational and void of any emotion, he'd be catatonic. He wouldn't eat, he wouldn't sleep, he couldn't do his job. If someone pushed him, he'd fall over and then he'd lay there with a blank stare.

Reason allows us to act in more complex ways than knee-jerk reactions, allows us to predict outcomes that may override desires and fears, to prioritize among the perceived goods, to figure that every promise may not hold up.

This is probably what people mean when they speak of acting rationally, applying rationality to the outcome of desires and fears are they really good/bad for us, or are they deceiving us into acting against our interest. This is basically Socratic ethics.
That's the right source, but I don't see how you conclude it's in Moderna's favour. The reason they switched to vaccines in 2017 (no evidence they worked on them before) is because after many years of effort they couldn't solve the multi-dose toxicity issues. Their prior drug efforts were all for treatments that required ongoing doses. In contrast the assumption pre 2020 was that vaccines were a one-or-two dose and you're done thing, so the toxicity issue could be dodged.

Well that's great, except now we're up to 3 or 4 doses and the trials for boosters were a joke. Not real trials at all. So, we're flying blind with a tech that was known to be dangerous if you do what our society is now doing.

"I read a bit about it and among major outlets only Fox News ran the story. But here's the thing: one case ?"

No, one case that you know of. But as you just realized, information about such people is systematically suppressed. The media refuses to cover it (outside of Fox), tech companies systematically erase mentions of it and ban people who try to link to it. And the worst is, doctors deny any connection.

The reality is, nobody has any idea how many people like that girl are out there.

"Are you referring to the second dose as a booster ? I seem to remember moderna and pfizer always were 2-doses vaccines. And there were headlines and talk about whether or not it would provide a lifetime protection or regular doses. Against wuhan strains the vaccines held up their 95% protection. So what exactly is false there?"

No. I'm using the term in the same way everyone does. They were advertised from the start as needing two doses, but not three or four. And they weren't advertised as "Wuhan SARS-CoV-2 vaccines" but "COVID vaccines" that provided 95% protection against "symptomatic disease". Clearly, they have failed to do that. You can argue that COVID should be defined differently, but it's not.

"Previous vaccination campaign or covid vaccination campaign ?"

This one. Vaccination of children. Or really, people under 55 or so. That seems to be a common threshold at which the cost/benefit ratio goes negative.

"Anyway, there are other vaccines if you rather go with J&J and Az which are traditional technologies."

None of them are all that traditional, and AZ has now been pulled. It isn't available where I live. It's mRNA or else.
It costs around $150 to file articles of corporation/llc, and then an annual report is $99-149 depending per state.

EIN is free. You can do all above, in less than 30 minutes.

Not to defend, atlas, or this or any other service, but if they act as an agent or offer a virtual address, they may be why the cost is high. You do need a physical office address, even if it's a virtual office, for service, and paperwork.

You should be able to find the agency/agency of incorporation for the state - https://corp.delaware.gov/howtoform/ this is for Delaware, and right there #2 is registered agent.

Depending who you go to for virtual office, it may be $50-200/month.

Now, is it a business idea to offer this service yourself, rent a space, and also have an accountant, - yes.

--

But it's pretty cheap in general, other countries in the world, the cost of doing business for this meta/paperwork is double or triple.

In Indonesia, Doing a PT. PMA, sort of similar to a LLC, minimum setup cost is about $4000, but it nets you a visa.

Japan, requires $50,000 fiat, getting a hanko - and while it gets you a visa, is much more complicated.
Fish sausages are the kind of thing you wonder why it never existed before...

Although fish sticks, similarly are processed fish meat, have been around for a while.
...it’s 12k-50k per year. So just (“just”) one order of magnitude or so.
That echoes my own thoughts as someone that's been out of school for a long time and worked with people with and without degrees. There's some gaps without a degree, but not usually so much that they can't be overcome with a little time and effort, and I don't think it usually matters much.

Connections from university though... I suspect that can be extremely useful, but didn't leverage that in my own time there, so can only guess as to how much (and also I didn't go to an ivy league school or anything where it could have made an even larger difference).
IDE file trees these days often show git status. Why not terminal file lists?

The problem with “don’t do that” is you can’t add it on after the fact using another tool, like you can with e.g. sorting. You have to run a separate command and correlate the output yourself.

Personally I don’t rely on exa’s git support (I never even remember it’s there) but it seems potentially valuable, and now that you’ve reminded me about it I plan on looking into how to integrate it into my workflow.
> For my situation I suspect a strong component is personality-related

I think that's true for me, too. While the work organisation and environment is simply bad, I believe that the large part of harm is self-inducted in my case. Changing workplace would definitely help, but I definitely need to work on the underlying personal issues. I think about some kind of therapy to worry less...

I kind of trained myself to worry less. But the work-related stress is stronger, so in the end I care less for some important personal things, and I'm still frustrated with work.

> How have you found things since going back after the 3 weeks?

I felt much better... for around a week. When I went back after 3 weeks, I had a clean slate. Some topics were taken over and completed by colleagues, while others were not taken over and there was nothing to save.

But after that? It returned to "normal" state of being tired and stressed. That's not only my issue – it's a small company, and we all are overworked. Physically, we are unable to meet production deadlines, answer all emails, prepare all projects. That's just how it works. So after two weeks, I was sinking in emails, had to deal with calls from angry clients, etc.
> Who is "we" and "they"? The west vs China of course. This was, after all, the context to which I was replying to. Not sure how you missed that context.

My point was that "we" in your context clearly isn't the West as you are much more aligned with China.

Honestly, your comments in this thread feel like astroturfing.
> they have been succesful in maligning him as a racist for speaking the truth.

This comment is so full of intellectual dishonesty. Razib Khan's controversy is a result of his so called cancellation by Left-liberal media like NYT/Times which are decidedly against Hindu nationalism.

In fact, Razib Khan is the founder of Brown Pundits, which is arguably more center right and has more Hindutva supporters than left-liberals. I found Razib Khan and Omar Ali both to be a prudent and neutral observers of the developments in subcontinent and are more leaning towards Hindutva (in its original spirit)
You will find that 'some races just have the dumb SNPs, you know' is indeed a fringe and unserious position often posited by Pioneer Fund recipients (you know, the organization founded in the 30s for the 'purpose of race betterment' that literally inspired Hitler) to justify that we abandon all welfare and remedial programs toward the poorer demographics. If that's not scientific racism, I wonder what's your definition of it.
It’s not a library. It’s a distributed multi-node WhatsApp client that handles the proprietary parts and interacts with your chatbot application using webhooks/REST APIs.

Not trivial to setup and operate, as it was designed for high-throughput scenarios. It’s very understandable that smaller customers wouldn’t want to handle that little monster.

> I actually did this, to make it error out cleanly instead of having to debug this very non-obvious issue, quite recently: https://github.com/mingw-w64/mingw-w64/commit/ca35236d9799af...

Thanks! I believe this will save many people a lot of time in their debugger.

> The runtime pseudo relocation fixing code ends up linked into your executables even if the executable doesn't use any runtime pseudo relocations - so essentially all MinGW programs will end up importing this function. That doesn't mean it does get called though.

Oops. Not a big deal, though; I assume it won't get called if the table is empty.
> "There's no point to humanity. So many people are suffering. If humanity is extinct, Earth and animals would be happier. They'll certainly be better off. Also no human will then suffer. Human existence is totally pointless."

The path towards Enlightenment is not unlike the five stages of grief. The realization of pain and suffering, the anger towards it, the desire to change it, the depression resulting from realizing our inability to change it, and finally the acceptance of life as it is and the ability to find joy in what we can.

Many of us have been through it and survived, coming out a tad bit wiser. Let's hope that he, too, will be able to find at least something that'll make him realize that it's not so bad after all.
Taiwan:

1. PRC has a very clear national security interest in Taiwan not being ruled by an unpredictable regime that may host American weapon systems pointed at the mainland. See Cuban/Soviet Missile Crisis. Coincidentally, similar situation going on with Russia and Ukraine right now.

2. If/when the DPP regime falls and is replaced by a more "independent" government, that government will naturally be favorable to joining the PRC as an autonomous province. Because the economic incentives are there and there is no real ethnic/cultural barrier to reunification (there is already massive brain drain from TW to mainland). This is the outcome that Beijing is clearly planning for and they won't have to fire a single shot to get it.

Uyghurs:

1. Xinjiang is a pathway to Central Asia and critical to the Belt and Road initiative. It's also a relatively undeveloped region that shares a small border with Afghanistan, with a history of widespread poverty and separatism/terrorism.

2. In the mid 2010s, Beijing was busy implementing two important policies in Xinjiang. A deradicalization campaign and an anti-poverty campaign. These are serious, fast-moving policies that involved a lot of heavy-handed action. Like getting millions of people enrolled in vocational training, Mandarin classes, and distant employment. Basically, Beijing wouldn't tolerate Xinjiang becoming Afghanistan 2.0, as much as Washington would love that. So they aggressively developed the region. Ürümqi in 2021 is probably unrecognizable to Ürümqi in 2009, when over a hundred civilians were butchered by ETIM-linked terrorists.

3. In response, Washington, through proxies like Adrian Zenz and WUC, launched a vicious propaganda campaign. Ordinary prisons for violent extremists and other criminals became "concentration camps for Uyghurs". Schools became "reeducation facilities". Vocational training and just having a job became "forced labor". Mandarin lessons became "cultural genocide". Women being lifted out of poverty became "genocide through birthrate suppression". And so on and so forth.

4. The hypocrisy from Washington is mind-blowing. On the "forced labor" front, Washington implemented sanctions against any company that uses "Uyghur labor", in other words, virtually any company that employs Uyghurs. The goal is obvious: to push Uyghurs back into poverty and therefore destabilize the critical region. Because Washington does not care about the lives of distant Muslims; the last three decades make this abundantly clear.
A sysadmin team leader walks into the room and says, "Everyone, you are now DevOps engineers, carry on", and walks out to collect a bigger paycheck...
>>supportive parents.

supportive parents are the key to success, rich, poor, black, white, asian, Hispanic, gay, strait, etc.

children with rich parents may have more doors opened, and access to things, but proclaim wealth is the only factor or even the biggest factor is false.

unsupported rich parents turn out children that fail all the time, and supportive poor parents turn out children that go on to success.

A support system at home is the biggest determinate for success or failure in life.
I'm in a similar position: I've had three mRNA doses, vaccines here may start to be available to my children next week

I wouldn't want them to be the weak link, but having them partially immunized during a delta/omicron peak may be sub-optimal...

Any data/analysis on the subject would be welcome
I won't say this is a perfect argument, but I think the issue comes down to the fact that forgiving loans is incompatible with the common Puritanical view in America that hard work and delaying personal gratification are virtues. It's not that anyone is being punished but a non-equal distribution of wealth feels unfair, since a lot of people would have made different decisions if they had known that debt would be restructured or forgiven in some drastic way. There are a bunch of people that lived on tight budgets, or worked extra hours instead of taking on debt, or just didn't go to college at all. Those people delayed personal gratification with the expectation that they would be better off later. It is similar for the case where someone's parents paid for their college, their family took on a financial hardship and get no reward compared to families that didn't take on any burden and took out loans. You can imagine how unfair it feels to those people if they saw someone else get $100k in loans forgiven, but they receive nothing. Nobody got punished but someone else gets a leg up and the people that were being "virtuous" get nothing.

And consider this other view: It's not a perfect analogy but imagine that the federal government decides to give $10k to every white man. Of course everyone would scream that was racist and sexist. But nobody is being punished by giving a reward to one race and gender and not the others. There are obviously issues with the analogy, but it might at least show another angle of why some people don't want others to get loan forgiveness when they get nothing.
That's a great strategy. I'm having the negotiation with the recruiter and I've just talked with the hiring manager for the behavioral interview, it went really well. I hope he might want me enough in the team to do something about.
Umm, you can still order from most pizza places and pay on delivery. You just call them up on the phone.
Can't compare apples and oranges. For flu seasons, regular classification applies. For pandemics, all persons that die with Covid are Covid deaths.

Apples and oranges.
Surround yourself with people who you like. Or find something else to do beside your job that makes you happy. I think one needs some big event to make you realize your priorities and to find what you truly care about.

I, for example, have grown bit weary of programming. Emotionally I think it brings mostly numbness and you become over-focused on abstract things, at the expense of your true emotions. I don't want to become a robot.

In my spare time I now try to avoid conversing too much abstract things and rather ask how people feel or intrigue them to analyze emotions rather than go on lectures. But certainly doesn't work for every person I interact with.
I wonder how palatable the structure, mouth feel and bite is. Seasoning is unlikely to be issue, but the rest are quite critical for sausage eating experience.
Did the original Windows 95 even have a TCP/IP stack? I think the first copy came with MSN, but it wasn't until the Plus pack that it came with a browser. IE4 was the active desktop and wasn't out until September 1997.
Except then it's not DevOps. If you have people working on 'DevOps' 100% of the time, that means they aren't working on Dev, and are only working on Ops.

The idea behind DevOps is that Dev(elopers) do their own Op(eration)s, rather than throwing stuff over the wall for a separate team to manage.

Not only has the industry done the opposite in many cases, they kept the name DevOps, meanwhile the full time operations staff have over complicated deployments and builds to the point that even they don't understand how they work anymore.
Can we please get rid of the DevOps hype train?

What gets completely ignored is that there is a reason that sysops has been a specialized role for decades. How often do we get threads here that people get their AWS accounts hijacked because of some credential leak (e.g. access keys in frontend builds), extreme expenses due to stupid autoscaling settings combined with a DoS attack or content leaks out of insecure s3 buckets? Or how much money gets wasted because clueless "devops" developers think that failsafe redundancy for their tiny PHP app is configuring a bunch of x2large instances and putting ELB in front of it instead of either going with lambda functions in the first place or at the very least use small instances and sensible autoscaling.

Or ffs just take gitlab ci pipelines. Nearly every time when taking over a project or hopping in to consult I see utter fucking bullshit written by people who don't have any idea what the fuck they are doing. Yeah, your build takes 10 minutes because you don't use any cache anywhere and you don't use Nexus or any other form of repository cache. And ffs no you should not push your application image to public Dockerhub because you have no idea that Gitlab has its own registry - and no, "I read it on some 'getting started' guide for <insert JS framework here>' ain't an excuse either. People get barely trained in the technology they use, most JS frameworks (and fwiw, Gitlab and Github CI themselves!) are young enough that it's impossible to get senior people for them, and the stuff that ships for "CI templates" there is atrocious.

The amount of knowledge required to securely operate any kind of hosting or development operation is immense, and acting like developers should also shoulder the role of unix sysadmin, IT security staff and cloud configurations is extremely ignorant - not to mention only half of the developers know more than "ls/cd/rm" on the command line, less if they are Windows developers.

I do see value in "devops" as in "a person primarily focused on operating infrastructure, but with enough capability to troubleshoot production issues in applications", but devops as in "save money for actually qualified ops staff" is irresponsible penny pinching.
The software industry is designed by nature to be an absolutely soul sucking experience. Operating off the premise that most people get into computer science and programming because of the control, and general artistry, involved:

0. You are a cost center as a software engineer even if you produce value well outsized relative to your salary. You will always be a cost center because some party school MBA can't factor you into an excel sheet.

1. Sprints are way to reduce you to a set of numbers and a stupid jira photo.

2. PMs exist only to justify their own existence. They are middle managers and the modern adaptation of "agile" is some combination of Office Space and Idiocracy. From (1) the tool they use to justify their existence is some meaningless "burn down" chart they show the executives. The formalization of the process works for actual engineering (Toyota) but does not translate well to an industry that only values half-baked solutions "we'll fix at launch". It's a joke, and so are PMs.

From these points we reach the most important point

3. The industry does not value the beauty, the art, the talent, and the critical thinking required to develop good software. Room temperature IQ CEOs, VPs, and middle managers either don't understand you or are intimidated by you.

Since most of us get into this industry for that my solution to this emotionally draining and bankrupt industry is to use it to fund my own things. I went back to school, bought 3d printers and other physical-tech, and used my money to fund adventures elsewhere where creativity and problem solving is valued. I go to my job, work my 40 (or less) hours, meet EXACTLY the requirements of my title, and go home with a clear conscience. I take 5 weeks of vacation per year and don't feel bad about it for even a nanosecond. I hardly program outside of work and I've, to be honest, never felt better.

Once you realize you're just a cog in a very expensive machine, a cost center to the people who decide raises, and the (especially if you're senior+) the first to get fired and replaced with foreign contractors, it becomes obvious the only solution is to use the industry to fund your talents rather than view it as a source of anything other suffering. I would estimate 70% of engineers say they enjoy their job. 10% of those engineers work for "fun" companies, and the other 90% are lying. So find something fun to do and never try to find some semblance of meaning to your job. There isn't any.

I used to work long weeks. 50-60+ hours "for the company". I rose to nearly staff engineer level before I was let go after so many empty promises. This happened several more times in my career. I come off bitter, not because I hate the software, but I hate the tacit manipulation and "family" style gaslighting the modern tech company does.
Naively Curious.

I do quite a bit of good old C on Atmel & STMicro chips M0+ chips. When I do, there’s a whole layer/framework of register definitions (structs, enumerated, typedefs, etc) C header files that I’m able to include for my specific chip and package.

If I want to experiment with Rust in place of C on one of these chips (say an Atmel SAMD21 J) what are my options? Do I have to reverse engineer all of those register mappings into Rust constructs? Can Rust import and use C header files?
Pro tip: if you use fish, don’t alias ls=exa, instead set an abbreviation (abbr). This way you can keep typing ls at the command line and it will turn into exa, but it won’t interfere with other functions.

I’m not sure if there’s an equivalent for bash/zsh.
Surely the same can be said about religions.

People start believing stories made by <prophet/whomever> and they become facts all of a sudden.
