> software developers seem to think they're too good for a union.

Unionizing in global workforce is a fool's errand. Especially when authoritarian governments exist.

Even if there was an IT worker's International, some asshole in e.g. North Korea can prevent IT workers joining on pain of death.

Or outlaw it. Or deem it a terrorist hacker collective.
I don’t understand why you’re responding to me with this point. My point had nothing to do with mandates, only objecting to the desire to ban masks.
What you responded to is a small subset of the original framing: "Remote work requires an investment in space and equipment that can be quite expensive."

>I think one simple legislation could help a lot: forbid to use the word 'buy' in this context. Instead it should be 'hire' or 'lease' or something.

right, if I signed a contract to lease a game for 6 months and then my account was suspended for 5 months so I only got one months usage for my lease I would totally be like "that's so fair! Because word usage!"

Meh, pass. The Index is at 130 degrees and even that looks like you're looking through a pair of toilet paper rolls.

Why do they bother going with such high resolution if they don't expand the FoV? It's just gonna chug more with your average mid range graphics card.
Depends a lot on the country. In France for instance, cheques are still very common, albeit less than before COVID.

I'm fascinated by inter-personal differences in sleep patterns. Could you dive more deeply into what you learned about your sleep habits? For example:

1. How did you defined it - horizontal/unconscious/etc
2. Whether there are any 'outcome variables' it seems to cause
3. Whether your needs changed by age, or exercise level, or previous sleep duration (ie 'sleep debt')

Thanks for doing this! I always find them fascinating
> Many people seem to think that the poor are like kids and need to be protected from themselves by someone who knows better what's good for them

That's not the reason. If you're poor, you are likely desperately looking for a job. This means that if you are offered one with shit working conditions, but that pays better than your current situation (which might be zero!), you HAVE TO take it. Most people have nearly zero bargaining power in their employment, which is why we need regulation especially for them.

And yes, while in a highly-valued field like IT, we usually have enough bargaining power, regulation still helps us. If the baseline was "just don't beat your workers, everything else is legal", we'd have a lot more to negotiate first, before we even got to the things we negotiate these days like benefits, loose schedules, work from home, etc.

And it's not like we can't fall on hard times either. Not everyone that is paid well is rich. They might be the main source of income for a large family or a have sick or old relatives to take care of. Or they might be at the start of their career without any savings. Bargaining power comes from the ability to quit, which comes from the ability to find a new job before your savings run out. No matter your industry, finding a job still takes time, so if you don't have enough savings to cover that time, you're in no better of a position than the poor person from the first paragraph.
"Our language is harder to use than X, so it's safer because no-one will try to do certain things with it" is hardly a compelling defence.
These services tend to cater for the people who reside permanently in a particular city / country though. So not really useful for a traveler.

I used to use Drive Now as they were in ‘Europe’ (I.e. geographically spread across the continent) and they were even at the airport in Helsinki. Then they pulled out of London and Helsinki (and others) where they had been ubiquitous claiming that it was un-profitable. Before that it was ideal though as you could unlock a car at any airport or city with the same app, credit card, agreement etc. And the cars were basically identical too!

Now I have no desire to sign up for a different app/service etc in each city in a language I probably won’t understand and have to get familiar with how they operate (where can you park it, for how long, etc) so it’s back to the familiar rental car desks.

FWIW that was only intended for store managers, who are (or at least were) flown to Champagne, IL for multiple weeks of training.

Having worked at JJ’s, I don’t think they were taught anything remotely with a non-compete. I think they just didn’t want somebody becoming a manager and then using that to get a better job across the street. Training employees is expensive.

But that was their rationale, anyway.

>Now that it's clear vaccination doesn't prevent transmission

You seem to be assuming the answer to that is either true or false. Isn't it much more likely that vaccines prevent some transmission and the question is how much.
Yes, sorry, that's not what I thought "outcompeting" meant in the epidemiological sense. I thought it implied that one variant grows to the detriment of the other.

Otherwise, we could say something like "COVID outcompetes the flu".

I don't think we have the data on Omicron vs Delta yet as you say.
I'm ready for Risc-6 already.

A Risc-6 could fix mis-designed details of RISC-V while remaining similar enough to get advantage of the verification work already done.

We will each have a list of fixes to offer. My first is a popcount feature in the core definition. It need not be an instruction; it could be a field of the status register that also records =0, sign, carry, and overflow.

Instead of just the one status register, to be renamed at need the way x86 and ARM do lately, I would append these bits to every register, carried along with the value.

My second would be to make the logical true value physically equal to ~0, both in the ISA and in the C/C++/Rust ABI. (This does not, of course, affect how it looks from the source-code level.)

I could go on, but others will have their own suggestions.

Why are you supporting apple and the 30% cut they take? Why do you as a user want apple to continue this?

We are developing a system for our client where their users have to buy a one time token to use it. The tokens are bought from the client's web shop. The iphone and android apps are webviews that contain the website. This was the only sane way to develop the apps because otherwise we would have to constantly deal with the idiotic review process.
For example - we had added google sign in but zpple refused our review until we also added apple sign in. A feature that I haven't heard anyone of the customers actually use. Or we had a button going to the webshop. Had to remove this one because apple wanted a 30% cut. If apple got 30% of every token bought then our client wouldn't be in the business at all.

Over-charging is actually very common, and then it's up to you to notice, then fill many forms (last time I had this problem I had to fill over 10 forms) and then personally visit their branch, and then wait months to get your money back. It's much better to pay by permanent payment order (automatic payment e.g. every month).
Very solid arguments in the liquid post-truth media trending.
Thanks @lukeburgis.
100% Clearly they could offer that option - "pay now (non refundable) to reserve this exact car" but it's a pretty obvious solution if this was really a problem and the fact that they don't do that suggests that it isn't.

Honestly it never even occurred to me that anyone would care. On car hire websites they're pretty explicit that you're getting a certain kind of car, not an exact model.
I don't see how else the "so you want to be lemmings" makes sense. And from the flags I assume others also thought that was the obvious reading.
Thanks. Does this feature is also available for multiple nodes in arangodb?
It actually really runs slower as is it first an interpreter, and the compiler is yet to be optimized to GCC levels; but is has a great compiler infrastructure that could eventually JIT to faster code (it being a runtime compilation, that has statistics, and Graal being capable of partial evaluation)

I was merely pointing at a hole in your argument: the language of the compiler has absolutely no influence in the quality of it's output (again: the JVM compiles to assembly, not to C++).

A compiler written in brainfuck could write code that is more performant than gcc does.

The language does have an influence on compilation speed, though. But that matter in your argument?
As a matter of fact, I'm still at university and mine actually showed a fair bit of modern C++ (University of Warsaw here). So I don't feel ensured. As for C#, I don't claim I know stuff.

Each partner announces the desired color to the other. If they match, next round they will call them. If they don‘t, they exchange messages again, each tossing a coin to decide if he switches to the other guys color or not.

Well, It is not Lucene alone, there are many tools in java written around Lucene such as ElasticSearch/Solr/Elassandra and so on, so no language or runtime can replace everything.

Looking at spending per capita it's clear that American problems aren't caused by lack of money in the system.

They are caused by high barriers of entry, which in turn are caused by entrenched elites gatekeeping jobs through absurdly high tuition fees, expecting everybody to take lots of student debt and a very litigation-friendly environment. These costs are then passed on to the general population through a byzantine system of health insurance that leaves a lot of people uninsured.

> Let's take a dream scenario: optimal organisation can make 20% more care available.

In 2020 UK spent 3278 GBP (~4400 USD) per capita on healthcare [1]. USA: 12,530 USD. That's about 3 times less or a difference of 200% [2].

In UK life expectancy is 81.2 years. In USA it is 78.79 years.

3 times more spent to get a worse outcome doesn't seem like "20% difference" to me. Of course there are other factors, but are they enough to overcome 3x difference? I don't think so.

You cannot compare healthcare systems on X doctors per Y patients basis, because the outcomes aren't linear. It's orders of magnitude more expansive to treat many health problems if you go to the doctor 2 years too late. And the outcomes are worse despite the higher costs. Guess what happens when people have to pay a lot for each visit - often they go too late.

Yeah, Python is "theoretically" easy to embed, that's why it uses the GIL

In practice, it is hard to embed and we get the GIL disadvantages, so that is not working out so fine.

I hadn't tracked which cities they'd pulled out of, and have used them in a few places.

But my point was more that there's no structural reason for the rental friction, other than to upsell people. The risk profile, and things that need to be handled are basically identical for car sharing and car rental, and car sharing makes the process seamless, while car rental makes it intentionally annoying.
The key is preparation. It’s the same for me at hotel check-ins. I’m always prepared, I have all my info available in my mobile or on paper, I’ve already thought about the trip several times before and on the way.

Some people seem utterly unprepared. They either don’t have their info at all, or have to login to their web mail, or find some printed paper at the bottom of their enormous suitcase. And then they tend to have tons of questions. I check out the facilities beforehand online so I know what to expect and how to use them.

In the composite benchmark, fastapi is 75th, express (the most popular node framework) is 94th, Gin (a popular go framework) is 55th, NodeJS is 56th.

In the continuous benchmarks, that you can see here [1], taking the last one that has finished at the time of this post (run id 31abee0e-b0c5-414f-9288-216c48e3a70e): Fastapi is 81st, Express 107th, Gin 57th, NodeJS 63rd. In the fortunes part, plain Go is always higher than Gin but varies wildly, from ~15% to ~43%. FastAPI itself is around 7%

I think Express is still the most used JS framework, by a large margin, so claiming to be faster than NodeJS may be fair, as most people thinking about NodeJS will think Express. For Go, you have to be very generous with the "on par", to the point that it's almost meaningless in my opinion. Especially since frameworks are less popular in Go, people tend to use the standard library, which has great performance here.

In a some cases they had racism at their core - but that's a step removed.

They thought that the parents were (for whatever reason) incapable of raising their children appropriately and that the best way to properly raise the children was away from their homes, their cultures and their problems. They may even have thought their goals were noble and justified - as most folks tend to.

I cannot see a meaningful difference between taking kids away from their parents for racial reasons, for class reasons or really any other reason.

The issue isn't necessarily why they saw them as inferior, it's that they saw them as inferior.
