I didn't say that. Failoverflow gave a talk on how they got Linux working on the ps4. It does not have a lot of the ibm PC compatible parts of x86.

What I am getting at is: it is close to a Pc but not. In the ways that matter it is (CPU GPU pcie USB data etc)

Quoting the Amnesty article:

> Official Qatari statistics show that over 15,021 non-Qataris – of all ages and occupations – died between 2010 and 2019

I think it's worth putting the number into context. There's 2,300,000 non-Qataris in Qatar. 1,670 deaths per year puts the mortality rate at 0.72 per year per 1000 people. That's 10 times lower than the global mortality rate as of 2020.
It's a multidimensional problem.

1.) Rush to build. Backpressure and deadlines lead to "lets just spin it up thje easier way"

2.) We said "premature optimisation is the root of all evil".
This ended up in devs not thinking about performance at all because "hurr durr" premature optimisation. I've witnessed this mentality causing huge problems in performance due to simplest decisions that would be normal in other circumstances, but snowball into a huge perf issue. Exactly as the title says, best practices can slow your application down, especially when used out of context. Some include "I'll serialise this into json and deserialise it again 5 lines later", "I'll use a regex to parse this simple string", "I'll nest 3 map calls here on a list", "I'll find it later in the list again".

3.) People forgot/never learned what the stack is.
Honestly, when people say software was harder to write back in the day, I'm never sure if I agree with it or not. One one hand, yes, we had less tools and materials at our disposal. But at least the thinking through it was easier, since with the small set of tools you have, you could go up and down the stack in your head and know that if you do X, Y and Z, that's what would happen. Nowadays, we have so many tools and layers that it takes a huge amount of knowledge, time and mental energy to reason about your whole stack. We have people specialised in tiny subsets of the stack, so getting performance squeezed out at overall stack level requires people who understand more of the stack, which is getting rarer and rarer by day.

4.) We have lost touch with the power of hardware.

Consider that most of senior devs are from an age where hardware was way less powerful and in the last 20 years, the power and availability of hardware has increased so much that it is hard for us humans to grasp - especially since the machines we use on a day-to-day basis still work nearly the same. Yet, we hear all these stories about hundreds of lambdas serving thousands of requests, so most of devs don't even have an idea of how much a single machine can serve but picked up "oh it's cloud scale" mentality. Combine this with "fear of low resources" and the ease of spinning up a new machine when resources are low and the answer is obvious - spin it up.

5.) We still think linearly.

People don't think exponentially most of the time. We don't assume that line of code will net us 30x speed improvements. We don't assume this loop will go quadratic. We tend to ignore tiny accumulations until it's too late. And when met with the performance wall, we discard optimisation because its hard to believe that we can easily 10x or 20x the speed since in our heads "it's just unnatural". You can't change tires on a car and have it go 2000mph suddenly. But with code you can, that's the problem.

> They haven't even tried

This doesn't really pass the sniff test. There are a LOT of different countries and states in the world, with a fairly wide variety of responses to Covid. I'm not aware of any country where they managed to magic up some hospitals fully staffed to handle Covid cases. If it didn't happen despite all the different societies that could have attempted it then it is far more likely that it was considered (and tried even!) and rejected as unworkable.

In other words, you are certainly not the first person to think "what if we just had more hospital beds and staff and throw heaps of money at it to make it happen". The reason no country (that I know of) has done this is because it is impractical. The alternative is a grand conspiracy involving collusion in hundreds of countries and states and their leaders, including all the departments of health and the various officials, in democratic countries, communist countries, authoritarian countries and so on, some of whom are literally at war with each other.
Few national teams and players would dare to boycott it. National careers are short with few possibilities for success ( one of the advantages of a World Cup every two years would be that more teams and players could have success), and just playing for the national team, let alone at the biggest competition in sport there is, is a source of pride.
@pizza I am curious about the context in which you found this interesting, given this is a publication from 2002.

Being able to stand for long hours, or being able to stand up from a sitting or a supine position (without passing) is a difficulty that some in my immediate family has to deal with. The 'healthy subject' precondition does limit the scope somewhat. Regardless, just from empirical and anecdotal observations, enough water and right electrolyte balance does help.

> It actually is the same thing that being seen from different perspective

Absolutely, but these perspectives aren’t equally useful, it depends on the user and their use case.

The real low-level thing reported by Linux is a useful perspective for kernel developers, and maybe for students learning about virtual memory management in operating systems.

However, the fake data reported by Windows task manager is the useful perspective for everyone else. I think 99% of people using these tools are in this category.

> * KMS Encrypted objects would not be accessible because the support personnel would need permission policies that grant `kms:decrypot` permissions to encrypted objects.

This is only true if you are using SSE-KMS *and* are creating/managing the CMKs used to encrypt objects. If you’re using SSE-S3 or SSE-KMS with the default AWS S3 key (aws/s3) there is no key policy to manage.

Of course SSE-C or 100% customer-managed crypto would be immune as well, but under different mechanics.

> Objects with a default-deny bucket policy could not have been circumvented with the support team's escalated privilege.

I would wager this is done for a vanishingly small percentage of buckets used in production. Less than one percent for sure.

The general point you’re making seems to be that if you had a comprehensive, defense-in-depth security strategy for your cloud computing environment then this would have had no effect, and i do agree with that. I just think that in reality this would have provided access to wide swaths of customer data.

It does not really matter: people will watch and go anyway. A few people get upset, a few people might be fined or even imprisoned, but that's just the price of 'doing business'. Scapegoats are built in and often well compensated. Nothing will be tainted.
Interestingly, small companies like FairPhone work to improve their suppliers' labor conditions.

I mean, the actual problem is that fMRI is expensive, and gives good spatial understanding, but bad temporal understanding (i may be mixing this up, I haven't seriously looked at any brain research in about a decade).

I think this defaultdict solution is the best, or at least most pythonic.

This type of wealth is a form of modern war. Albeit, the other side which follows successful, or non successful war. This is mostly paid for with oil profits.
I have issues agreeing with you, I am more willing to think that certain issues are more about the system segregating classes, not educating or giving chances, than violence exists because of football, then of course football is more accessible as you can play it with a paper ball, and has bigger numbers? I would say that violence would still come out as it's there and (used to come?) comes out with football, what should we do? Only follow sports that require better social status and more expensive tools?

Or like yeah there are some example of players that were violent and crazy, as you can find in any place with a number of humans doing it, I'd say HSBC was laudering cartels money and funding terrorist, all bankers are criminals?

> Infantino is trying to introduce a two-year schedule for the World Cup, solely to make more money

You can't deny that there are serious advantages of a World cup every two years (currently even the best players with long careers can't hope to play more than 4 World Cups - even 17 year old debutants like Bellingham and Pedri, so their chances of winning one are slim; there are many good teams that deserve to win, so giving more options can result in more winners, etc.), and it isn't unprecedented, the AFC and Copa America are already on such a schedule.
Unless we think sales or something drop going back before 2020 we are already seeing the key detail, as the peak in the 20/21 and 21/22 boundaries was at the new years but the graph is flat going back to that peak in 19/20.

Yes.

It was wrong of me to only mention the "limitations" (compared to OCaml) that "will drive you nuts", while saying nothing about extensions/advantages of F# - because, obviously, it does have some. This:

printfn "%s" ((3.0 + 3.0).ToString())

may seem normal enough to onlookers, but being able to write it (more precisely, the mechanisms that make it possible) in F# can be seen as a definitive advantage over OCaml, where normal functions cannot be overloaded to work on multiple types. At least without explicitly handling it yourself, which can be a lot of work.

What I really wanted to say, but somehow failed, is that F# is not OCaml - it's a language in its own right, with both good and bad sides, which don't align with those of OCaml particularly well (and sometimes not at all). F# and OCaml share some semantic and syntactic features, but they are not "dialects" of each other (no matter which way you want to spin it), they have very different sets of trade-offs, and probably shouldn't be directly compared (even if such comparison was OK historically).

I think I failed to convey this properly because I was angry that "someone on the Internet!!!" mentioned F# in an OCaml thread "AGAIN!!!", even though it's definitely one of the biggest developments/successes on the OCaml side in recent memory. I mean, it's like you're having a party to celebrate your promotion, only to have that one person tell you all about how their cousin is better than you in every respect, and he didn't even need to work that hard for it, so you're just slow. It was strangely disconcerting, but I should have reacted less emotionally.
Does it sound different than other sounds a phone usually makes? I imagine that unless it is carefully designed, the reaction could be "what is that"?
Not necessarily. Watching a second time will usually give you less new information than the first time (obviously if you already know more than 50%, there is less to learn)
The policy in question had “s3:GetObject” permission to “*” added for a few hours. And CloudTrail logging doesn’t capture GetObject API requests by default. This role is specifically for metadata only access. Yes, service teams have behind-the-scenes escalation tools for bugs on the backend, but the more numerous front-line support staff should only be able to view metadata. The GetObject permission would have let them view actual potentially sensitive data.
The algorithm selects the arrow option with the shortest curve length, but I think the results would look better if it selected for the option with the least bends and inflection points.

I don’t think today’s ageism is the same as previous generations. Young folks have been railing against their parents for all of human history, but we have, nevertheless, always been able to come together, and form an amalgam of experience and enthusiasm. I suspect that older people, having the money and power, while younger folks have had the drive and creativity, have forced the generations to cooperate.

These days, you have billionaires in their twenties. They don’t need anything from older folks, so there are no constraints on them.

Also, and I won’t go into the reasons, there’s now a lot of actual hatred between the generations. This time, it’s personal. I feel that.

In my job search, I was struck by the fact that the people interacting with me seemed to have a need to dominate and humiliate me. It wasn’t just a negotiation tactic. They hated me, and I had no idea why.

Self-studying from scratch to the level where you're a valuable hire requires falling in love with the work. I don't think anybody has the willpower to work through, think through and internalize all the stuff we work with daily if they don't find it at least a bit fun, and a lot of people don't. It does take a "special" individual, though not in the sense that they're better than anyone else.

People can withold money from the economy and then install the equivalent of a toll booth where they charge a fee to anyone who wants the money known as interest. As long as these people to get to abuse their power they will force interest rates to be above zero, this is effectively an interest rate intervention.

When these people get paid interest they will repeat the process which means there is an insufficient supply of money in the real economy to repay loans forcing people to borrow to service their interest payments.

This means debts grow faster than the economy. When people eventually spend the money the value of the economy gets adjusted upwards .e.g. prices rise via inflation.

Alternatively inflation stays low forever. There is an excess of savings hitting a limited number of investments that can only earn negative yields. By simply not investing people can isolate themselves from these losses which should be impossible ( cough deposit insurance). This forces interest rates into negative territory.

15,000 construction workers working on the World Cup have not died.

15,021 non-Qataris have died. The number includes any expatriate in Qatar - teachers, managers, fast food servers, VPs - everyone. Even among construction workers, the vast majority are working on projects that have nothing to do with the World Cup. For context, something like 80% of the 2.6m people in Qatar are expatriates, and these deaths occurred over a 9 year period. You can do the math.

If you look at the work related death rate among workers in the US the number is 0.035 per 1000 people. So if the deaths are work related, it is a huge number compared to the US at least.
