An electronics tech can repair a random failed motor controller. That information should absolutely not be limited to just factory. When I fix cars, most of the time I have to fix broken wires and faulty ground. Occasionally, I have to fix a failed component in the ECU. They are extremely easy to work on for someone skilled at microsoldering, which is not a hard skill to attain.
OK, so we decide that a democracy == "has free and fair elections by the UN criteria". That seems perfectly reasonable on the face of it.

So let's say that we have a democracy by that definition, for example Myanmar — a big garment exporter — in 2020 or so. The 2020 elections were described by international organisations as "free and fair".

Should the result of the coup d'état that happened shortly after those elections be that not only do the garment workers lose their right to vote in future free and fair elections, but they also lose their jobs when the factories are closed due to foreign countries introducing their "don't trade with non-democracies" policy? Do we think that would improve or worsen the situation?

Why not? We kinda already did it for the flu every year. And if it is the only alternative to lockdowns [1], I think most of us would prefer that.

Side-note: The article quotes Fauci as saying "I think it's too premature to be talking about a fourth dose...". That seems like one of his "noble equivocations" to me. If Israelis do need a fourth dose, it is probably true that so do Americans.

Introduction to PowerBI Custom Visual Development
I assume these waves are not continuous but made out of many points and then just simulated over time, like a game engine. But since fractals have infinite detail, does that mean that for every number of points we choose for the wave we'll get a radically different wave pattern?
The evidence are there, in abundance actually. However, where and how one is looking for them could very well be the problem of not being able to perceive the evidence.

Just think about it: so far whatever we've invented is based on discoveries of what's already there in the universe. Metals, electricity, fuel, food et al.

Only when we started looking for such things with an open mind, with the right tools and at the right place, we were able to perceive them.

Similarly, our human history (at least in eastern traditions) has been filled with countless tales of those who had set out to seek answers to questions of soul, God, eternity, life beyond physical body et al, and they did find answers. Not only that, they also left details about various practical ways to reach to that exalted state, for those who dare to be seeker like them.
It's a weak proxy for general mental ability, but it's also a signal for high conscientiousness -- someone willing to spend a couple months studying to the test is showing that they have the ability to work hard on something over some length of time.
Why do people grind on leetcode instead of reading papers, watching lectures, reading books, implementing hard-CS things from scratch, and … you know … enjoying the endless joys of a fascinating field?

Many systems look similar. Ceph, MooseFS, etc. The difference are in details. Not possible to benchmark everything. And each use case has different access pattern, CPU, memory, network. It's better to benchmark with your own use cases.

LeoFS last release is about 3 years ago (v1.4.3 February 20th, 2019), and seems more complicated. SeaweedFS is still growing and has being released on a weekly basis. Just ask if you need any new feature.

Also, think about how to manage. For example, grow capacity. For SeaweedFS, you just need to add one server and point it to the master. That is it!

The brain does not just store but also processes your consciousness. You're looking at it the other way, information inherently surpasses the tangible. If reality was a cgi simulation what you call physical would just be a bunch of pixels like in the Matrix, it is no less real because of how it is represented. The difference between random objects and our brain is that our brain store and operates software which regardless of representation is information that is computed and interpreted in a logical way, therefore if the processing and storage needs can be replicated there should be no reason why the data cannot be transferred, thus making the essence of our being information.
The problem with books is that they're invariably obsolete, and almost always third party information (and thus usually at least a little bit wrong). I've never found the need to get my software engineering knowledge from books; online documentation is always more up to date and usually written by the authors of the project directly. In addition, only a tiny fraction of the knowledge you can find online in English will be collected in books, and it is much, much harder to search for.

Books are good for abstract knowledge (if you're that kind of learner) and to get an introduction to a particular technology, but not having access to the latest up to date information and a search engine over all the accumulated knowledge in the Internet is a major handicap.

This is one of the causes of a common pattern in SWE in Japan: always being behind the curve on tech, best practices, etc. There's just an inherent delay added by having to wait for information to be available in your native language. Add to that Japanese bureaucracy that discourages change (especially in big companies, but by no means exclusively), and it's even worse.

Original motivation does not changes anything, we are talking about effect here. Effect is the same.

Also, transparency regarding progress and purpose does not require scrum. I dont know what you mean by "empirical validation".

I don't recall the "not knowing the progress" being issue in any methodology for developers. Maybe, most of the time we dont really need to know how fast tasks are progressing. Speed on other tasks is important for management, but not for me. I need to know their thoughts about codebase, about where to go, what they consider issues and such. But progress, not so much.

I think this is the main point of disagreement in this thread; if we have to spend $500M/mile for light rail in the US, it's fairly obvious that rail is not an option. If there is a large learning-factor for building rail that would bring costs down significantly with more miles built, then rail is certainly an option for the northeast US.

uBlacklist? You have that much of a problem getting relevant search results? Seems like bad search technique and paranoia. Seems crazy to have to maintain a blacklist for a few domains on specific searches. You can "search around" the bad domains with higher quality search phrases
To summarise the differences:

* UUIDv6 - sortable, with a layout matching UUIDv1 for backward compatibility, except the time chunks have been reordered so the uuid sorts chronologically

* UUIDv7 - sortable, based on nanoseconds since the Unix epoch. Simpler layout than UUIDv6 and more flexibility about the number of bits allocated to the time part versus sequence and randomness. The nice aspect here is the uuids sort chronologically even when created by systems using different numbers of time bits.

* UUIDv8 - more flexibility for layout. Should only be used if UUIDv6/7 aren't suitable. Which of course makes them specific to that one application which knows how to encode/decode them.

UUIDv7 is thus the better choice in general.

I agree entirely with both these points, although i would note that the space of unlike-leetcode work is larger than just gluing. I've spent a lot of time in my career clarifying user requirements, hunting problems in data, writing build scripts and test tools, laying out UIs, parsing weird file formats, etc.

I have also sunk weeks on algorithmic problems much more complicated and less clear-cut than anything in leetcode!

Probably not much. Fuel tanks are usually made of plastic now, so you aren't likely to create a spark and ignite something.

Petrol fuel in liquid form is hard to ignite, so if it leaks not much is going to happen other than giving your driveway a good clean (it's a solvent) - it's the gas form that is much more flammable. When petrol enters the engine combustion chamber it is mixed with air to form a flammable gas - there should be no liquid.

Diesel fuel is much harder to ignite, heck, you could probably use diesel fuel in place of engine oil and it probably wouldn't ignite.

You can say this regardless of which party you consider to be the "other" party, except that one party started it a long time ago. Because obstructionism has been the name of the game for so long, these tactics have become necessary in order to get anything done. It's a perfectly rational response to how the rules of the game have changed, IMO.

I'm a bit impressed by vlang, despite some earlier controversy from years ago. Of all the new languages, I have been keeping track of this one the most. They have also been maintaining a strong development pace. Something else that I like that many don't know or notice is their connection to Oberon (a kind of successor language to Pascal). It's a nice merge between various ideas and useful qualities among Pascal/Oberon, C, and Go.
When looking at or using platforms like Glasdoor one always has to take the "selection bias" into account. People posting on a platform selfselect.

And it is often when something is wrong, that one tends to feel the need to communicate that. When all is fine there often just is no need to communicate that.

So using Glasdoor without taking this into consideration is at least an interesting editorial decision.
Wait, the sacrifice of the virgin goat was unnecessary?
EU was founded quite recently. It too has mechanisms to avoid concentrating all the power in the hands of the big ones: Germany and France.

E.g. for the European Parliament, each country has a different level of representation (MPs per capita). Germany has the least representation and Malta has the highest. This way smaller countries also have a voice.

There are other mechanisms as well(agencies HQs, comisioners etc.), but in the end Germany and France still have a lot of weighg in all the major decisions. If it wasn't for at least the current provisions it would have been even worse and probably the EU would have dissolved by now.

US has a similar system of propping up smaller states: for senate and president elections. I don't see this anachronistic at all, the more I learn about it the more impressed I am with the wisdom of the american forefathers. E.g. The Senate does not represent the people, they represent the states. This is very similar to how EU "council of ministers" has one from each state, regardless how large that state is.
All these languages took a lot from Lisp (especially former) and functional languages (especially latter). So it's like complaining to Newton that's his laws of mechanics are known by almost everyone these days, so Newton did nothing special.

> Anything that it would make sense to call "god"

Here's the crux: What would make sense to call "god"? What would make sense to call "a higher power"? Personally, if there is any consciousness that exists on a different level than our immediately observable universe perhaps with a radically different relationship to space-time, I believe two things are true: 1) it's nature is likely to be so far beyond our understanding that we don't have the precepts to even begin to reason about it and 2) it definitely makes sense to consider such an entity in those terms regardless of whether it has a particular interest in earth-life or not.

Again, this is the semantic game that we play. It's easy to set up these strawmen based on our inherent anthropocentrism combined with past mythologies created to explain things which science subsequently provided better explanations for. However it is a huge leap to look at that progress and jump to the conclusion that our perspective is the one true lens on reality and that there is nothing beyond the reach of our instruments, logic and models.
I believe that difference is down to anime fans, and the more exaggerated shut in meaning nay have bled over a bit but has not overtaken the original meaning in all contexts.

> Is that why we do code reviews, because we don't trust each other?

I don't see any other reason to require code reviews before a change can be merged.

> humans make mistakes

Then write unit tests, religiously. And pair. Or "... request reviews when they think it's necessary".

In my experience code reviews are not very good at catching mistakes.

> Different work in progress can be in conflict with each other.

Code reviews are the cause of too much work in progress, not the solution. Not the only cause.

> Reviews are a good way to learn from each other

In my experience, they are pretty bad at this. Pairing is vastly superior, or giving talks.

> reason to communicate with devs I might not otherwise communicate with

Then communicate with them. And if you want a review "... request reviews when they think it's necessary".

> Rejected

Exactly. That's not a useful form of interacting with your peers.
Google does check this. It’s called bounce rate and is just one piece of the SEO puzzle. Keeping users on your site longer before they “bounce” is another, so these sites are incentivized to keep you on the page for as long as possible because they know that it’s unlikely for a user to find the exact recipe they are looking for.
