> Islam was acceptable (as Turkey was attempting to be a "free" republic), but not compulsory.

Until Erdogan overturned it, there was a ban on women wearing hijab (the head covering , that the vast majority of Muslims consider a basic tenet of their religion) in universities in Turkey. I leave the judgment to you, but personally I wouldn't consider asking millions of people to choose between adhering to their religion and getting a higher education to be treating their religion as "acceptable, just not compulsary".

Our au pairs were some of the best money we've ever spent. The biggest cost is that you need to have the extra room / living space available for them.
Is there any reason to assume that initial infection with Covid can't cause both immunity against subsequent infection AND long Covid symptoms?

Think about how chicken pox works. You get infected, you deal with (usually but not always) mild symptoms, and then you don't get chicken pox again. But you are susceptible to shingles later in life.
I think you overestimate our ability to “eradicate it in absolutely no time”. Eliminating it from both human and animal reservoirs (and permanently quarantining any immunocompromised carriers) worldwide would be a long and arduous process.
Yeah I think there is lots of nuance about individual datapoints. Does the overall distribution match your mental model?

To me it's surprising there aren't at more high spending countries with significantly better outcomes measured by these metrics.
It takes years to build trust with your customers, and very little to disrupt it. I think these recent events will have people rethink their cloud strategy. This could be a good opportunity for Google to take on Amazon.

Yeah, a heat pump is definitely better if you have it. My point is that if you don't, mining provides the same energy-to-heat conversion ratio.

If Neo4J stopped paying off O’Reilly to write books about their product and put the money into improving their product it would still be a toy. People fall in love with it because it feels just like touching nodes in RAM with your fingers but that means it just. doesn’t. scale.

Neo4J is the monogdb of graph databases.

I am a big arangodb fan, I use it for almost all my personal projects. Seems like the German engineering causes them to never catch any hype which is sad.

How telling.
I also read it this year.

It came very close to me. The society of the book was very similar to the society in which I grew up, Soviet Union in 90s.

Some of the lines from the book:

".. the social consience completely dominates the individual conscience, instead of striking a balance with it. We don't cooperate - we obey. We fear being outcast, being called lazy, dysfunctional, egoizing. We fear our neighbor's opinion more than we respect our own freedom of choice."

"No matter what their society's like, some of them must be decent. People vary here, don't they? Are we all perfect Odonians?
But in a sick organism, even a healthy cell is doomed."

I think people are being naive if they don't see this as the future across the board: The Internet simply can't exist outside or above the law of the land. It's a very powerful communication tool, but it still physically exists within countries with varying laws and customs.

I doubt the Internet will truly fracture into individual networks completely, but you should expect things to be selective on what is shared between borders, just like with everything else.

China and Russia have strong political reasons to be ahead of the curve on this, but I would expect many other countries to begin to follow suit for reasons of national security: Cyberattacks absolutely can cause loss of life, and it's a matter of time until it happens on a large scale.

This type of reporting contributes to announcement fatigue. What use is all this hype now for something that is probably 5 years out from the market, if it even works (which past results suggest is unlikely).
Imagine thinking your boss's business is more important than taking time off with your family (or alone) on Christmas.

Seeing as a few people are asking for more info on the enterprise home wifi.

Main objective is flawless heavy-usage (Zoom, streaming media) from multiple clients within the home, plus support of lots of clients (we have over 150 assigned IP addresses in the house).

My setup is a server cabinet consisting of Ubiquiti EdgeRouter to handle >1Gbps connection, ISP's preferred modem (so they can't shirk out of full support for the connection which they do if you provide your own equipment), Ubiquiti 24 port POE switch, Ubiquiti Cloud Key Gen2+, Synology NAS, Multicore server running docker containers.

I then have 4 Ubiquiti AP AC PRO wireless access points dotted throughout the home (3 level home) all on wired backhaul to the 24 port switch powered by POE and 2 Ubiquiti 8 port switches at different locations for media center, office etc.

I would imagine the total setup is about $1500 which for a large home we both use to work out of too is very reasonable. It was legitimately tax deductible as well.

My satisfaction with Ubiquiti is declining, in part because of the security issue last year. However there isn't really anything I would replace it with because the main draw of Ubiquiti at this class is that it doesn't have recurring licensing fees like Cisco Meraki does (which are $$$$). I could try to roll my own on some of this but I'm too old/busy to run pfSense and a *-WRT flavor etc. If I was buying a new Ubiquiti setup, which if you rely on home internet I would still advocate for, I would buy a Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro which negates the router, switch and cloud key as separate purchases. It wasn't available when I purchased this setup a few years ago.

ADDED: Some people below said their Ubiquiti equipment was hard to set up, I actually found it super easy and there is a GUI to help you. I'm am/was happy sysop'ing servers over SSH so YMMV. One strong suggestion is to use their dedicated administration device the Cloud Key rather than roll your own on a docker container. The most problems I have in my entire setup are things running in docker so I try to not have them as dependencies but I am running PiHole for DNS which causes problems if it goes down.
The rule of thumb of efficiency is that it can make things worse when it breaks. How that applies to organizations is if you have an incredible org with a higher plates to plate spinner ratio than ever, then if you have a catastrophe, the org may not have enough people to actually get the plates spinning again as fast as a less efficient, larger crew with more reserve.
Retirement is generally towards the end because most professions aren’t like tech to earn enough to retire early. Retiring early is a luxury of a very privileged minority.

Of course you can retire early while making less money but you are definitely wasting your youth if you have to keep spending to the bare minimum.

It’s not this way that it is because of “mindset” — it’s because of practicality.

And personally speaking, I enjoy my job, I never work more than 40 hours, and I have time for my hobbies. I think this is a way more practical “mindset” for most people.
Have you tried spacemacs with vim keybindings? That may be right up your alley. Personally I still prefer VSCode + vim, but I did use spacemacs for it's org mode for a bit.
Not just stable coins, holding many types of assets would help. It’s very common in many countries to hold savings in US dollars to avoid domestic currency fluctuations. Stable coins may be a convenient way to do achieve this goal, but also has counter party risk with the coin issuer.
> To reiterate for the umpteenth time: many C and C++ libraries come with compile-time flags that totally change the nature of the resulting library. It is not possible to refer to a "canonical" version of the library the way you could with something for Java, Python, JS etc.

That just iterates GP's point: C/C++ dependency management is abysmal, but it's "hard" because the languages themselves do not have the capability to express the required metadata in any standard way. As an example, the first time I tried to compile Ardour took me several hours finding and installing the right dependencies for my distro.

PL designers have learned from these mistakes, it's not worth defending them or accepting that it is the way the world should be...

Totally different ecosystem that’s built around the concept of building from source. Binary libraries and alternate compiler implementations haven’t been a priority. In fact, multiple compiler implementations generally don’t exist until the language is much older than Rust is now. It’ll happen.
Sure, so people with more experience should be demonstrating good practice here, as in other areas, by writing good comments for the newer people to see and gain experience with.

> Why is it that remote workers are especially suspect?

Because it's not difficult to get hired into two remote jobs.

It is, however, impossible to be in two physical offices at the same time.

Being in office is not a free pass to ignore performance management. Obviously if you're not paying attention to deliverables then your in-office employees could be doing nothing as well.

But remote jobs are a magnet for people trying to abuse the system (by riding the coattails of their actually productive coworkers).

> If that's all managers do, they can be replaced with spyware that measures how much time the worker is typing in VSCode each week.

I think you misunderstood my comment. I specifically said that measuring hours active at a keyboard or activity in Slack is the worst way to try to do performance management.

It's funny, SREs and SDEs generally get paid around the same in most places. I know some companies compensate oncall time differently, but a lot don't.

SREs work a loooot more hours than SDEs, and I feel like that's partly on SREs for just accepting that workload.

In my current position, if I get woken up at night even once, I take that as 8 hours worked and take a whole day off. The other side of offering "unlimited time off" :). This creates a real cost on technical debt, and forces actually addressing them rather than letting human capital deal w/ them.
Delta had equal or higher severity per infection than alpha which in turn had higher severity than the original variant. It just had lower mortality than the first wave because people had higher preexisting immunity, treatment had improved, and some of the most vulnerable had already been culled from the herd.

You have to compare between two variants at the same time, not against previous waves. Omicron is the first major variant to actually be less severe on this metric.
Man there’s always someone to suck up to the boss, even when it’s not his own. I really struggle to understand what this moralizing is meant to achieve.
Same could be said about a concept of solo traders. If you are as successful as you claim why don't you run a fund? However, a lot of people do solo trading as its more of job/hobby where the only thing you risk is your capital. Plenty of people don't have stomach to deal with others lifetime savings? (or even potential of such person in your client pool)

Its different. Not everything scales as nicely and dealing with responsibility is going to become a burden soon. Here you are selling your advice, most likely all traders have similar access to this advice and can perform trades with their own judgement.

You make a great point about animal reservoirs, but the transmission bandwidth between humans and animals is afaik much lower than between humans. If you accept this assumption, and if we also assume that we really wanted to eradicate this thing, we could limit human transmission such as to reduce Rt well below 1 by implementing well-coordinated and strict policies.

Then you're left with the "leaky bucket" of transmission between humans and animals... But this is a known vulnerable point which could be monitored effectively and very cheaply.
High inflation and low interest rates in Turkey means that depositors there lose more money than they would if it were in Euros.
I was reading this article recently about natural vs vaccine immunity (mostly in adults I think). Didn't seem to reach any strong conclusions either way.

> “It appears from the literature that natural infection provides immunity, but that immunity is seemingly not as strong and may not be as long lasting as that provided by the vaccine...

> But not everyone agrees with this interpretation. “The data we have right now suggests that there probably isn’t a whole lot of difference” in terms of immunity to the spike protein

> Memoli highlights real world data such as the Cleveland Clinic study18 and points out that while “vaccines are focused on only that tiny portion of immunity that can be induced” by the spike, someone who has had covid-19 was exposed to the whole virus, “which would likely offer a broader based immunity” that would be more protective against variants. The laboratory study offered by the FDA22 “only has to do with very specific antibodies to a very specific region of the virus [the spike],” says Memoli. “Claiming this as data supporting that vaccines are better than natural immunity is shortsighted and demonstrates a lack of understanding of the complexity of immunity to respiratory viruses.”

They're losing engineers left and right, especially in H2 2021. It's probably all related. Their recruiters' emails are increasingly desperate.

CSS reset?

Somehow it is a path not taken, people would rather write HTML like

<div class=“xyzzy8 phe7 mbnx11”>

And will write endless blog postings that rival A monad is like a Burrito about how much easier it is to write web pages this way.

You might consider writing one yourself, this is what CSS was intended to do in the very beginning. If the basic flow behavior and what floats can do is compatible with your vision and you get to the place where you are never surprised about margins collapsing this isn’t hard.

You can get to the quality of an average book or technical report easily that way.

CSS frameworks still reflect the trauma of the original bootstrap and other ‘grid’ layout systems that existed before flex box and grid layouts. Newer generation systems are chock full of bad ideas carried on from the first generation. That kind of system though is going to let you make much more complex layouts (say a typographically complex book, or a magazine, or the layout of a complex UI.)

CSS frameworks generally have the problem of being based on leaky abstractions. You can probably get it to look almost right, but there is going to be something small wrong that drives somebody nuts and if you feel you have to do something about it you’re going to go on quite the adventure of understanding the hard parts of CSS, how the framework works, etc.

I am thinking FB doesn't care about us if we don't have a FB account.

We are not contributing to the metaverse, why would they? The value of selling a handful of games for approximately $100 of revenue is peanuts compared to their metaverse idea.

Given that FB probably loses money on each quest sold, I think it's likely they are happy every time one of us grumpy loners declines to purchase their device
Yes, the FSF thinks a device becomes more free if you destroy the ability to update the software that runs on it.

WiFi presents a particular problem for free software because to sell a product that emits radio waves, it has to be certified (by the FCC or other national authorities), and they won't certify something that could be trivially reprogrammed to exceed legal power limitations or broadcast outside licensed frequencies. It's easiest for them if the user can't change those details at all.
I pay for YT Music. YouTube Premium is just bonus since I seldom use YouTube. YT Music is still not as good as Google Play Music was, but it’s better than Spotify imho.

Also, pretty sure I pay $10 not $15.
In the US at least you can generally port a number to any provider.

Whether you (a) drop land-line service and change to cellular-only, and (b) port a land-line number to keep it (not clear on which question you mean to ask) depends on a number of personal circumstances and preferences.

I went cell-only some time ago (2010 I think) and have never felt the need to get land-line service. I kept a number I liked for a long time, porting from one carrier to another, mainly out of worry people who had my number would lose contact. Last year I decided to get a new number that reflects my actual location, but I kept my old number for a while while friends and family and professional contacts transitioned. I actually had no problem changing over, after a few weeks the old number stopped ringing so I canceled it.

Besides letting your contacts know about a phone number change there’s the bigger hassle of updating online services that use phone numbers for verification and authentication. If you’re not careful you can lock yourself out of online accounts. For that reason it may be safer to port a number or keep an old number active for a while.

I traveled and lived overseas for six years, usually getting a local SIM card and number everywhere I stayed for more than a few days. I ported my US number to Google Fi to maintain contact with family and customers. A dual-SIM phone is handy for doing that.
Well, the battery is actually the most problematic part of the environmental footprint. Repairs/maintenance are very minor on a Tesla.

The way we look at it is a family of 3 with a young baby needs a car, we only have one car, and it's the most environmentally friendly one we could get as all cars have some manufacturing overhead. It was also manufactured 60 miles away so the delivery footprint was small too. We're trying our best!
Yea. This article is about the hardware which is great. The freezes, memory leaks and bugs are from the software and the latest mac os software really needs more time in the oven. I can't use firefox any more because WindowServer will eat up over 100% cpu and start allocating ram and and never releasing it until a crash or restart.
Last year I invested in upgrading my home office after working from home for several months messing with USB-C dongles without enough ports, don't always work and interfere with the WiFi signal.

Keyboard: Keychron K1 mechanical keyboard. Slim enough so that no additional wrist support is needed but still feels great to type on.

Screen: Dell 27" U2720Q 4K screen. Good quality screen, charges the laptop with one cable and connects keyboard mouse etc. with built in USB hub. But the best feature is the optional soundbar with built in microphones and noise cancelling like a teleconference unit you find in a meeting room. It allows me to talk to people without having to plug things in my ears all the time which was a giant bother before.
Ariane 5 had some early problems, the first failure even became a case study in critical software development. But it had only had one partial failure after the 17th launch: the payload was launched to the wrong orbit because the wrong coordinates were put in the computer. A huge QA problem but not the fault of the launcher which did exactly as told.

Now, both Ariane 5 and Atlas 5 are extremely reliable, mature rockets.
Bonus: local merchants are going to get really used to seeing those currencies soon.
