I was lucky enough to find some of those 3M Auras at a local hardware shop. They are like $2 a pop, but everything about them is nice -- materials feel great, I find the inside volume is enough that I can breathe easily, they don't stick out like a beak (IMO having the beak style ones in my field of view is annoying). 10/10 mask, still hope to not need them sooner or later, but given the state of the world would buy again.

surely you don't have to fly every flight to keep the slot open, as there are such things as cancelled flights due to mechanical issues + weather anyway. So how does the rules for the slots work - it says "EU rules require that airlines operate a certain percentage of scheduled flights to keep their slots at major airports." are cancellations due to weather taken off of this percentage, I mean you would think so because otherwise phenomena such as that volcano in Iceland about a decade ago would mean everyone loses their slots?

So what about mechanical issues? Are you allowed a certain percentage - is there a buffer or has anyone ever had too many mechanical issues and lost a slot thereby because they went down below the percentage.

on edit: text somewhat confused as we have the percentage of flights that can be missed, and my asking about the percentage of mechanical issues that one can have as well as the percentage of cancellation of flights due to weather and how it affects things.

You can do this in C without all the enterprisey ceremony. All you need is a way to send messages to a queue and have them dispatched to registered listeners. The "message" can be nothing more than an encoded integer or something more complex. This lets you have a decoupled interface between interacting subsystems.
I've already have had a good bunch of similar experiences at previous companies, where you hear all the time "we're moving away from the monolith". Problem is after you've been hearing for 5+ years, it probably means it will never go away. This particular company ended up with 100s of "microservices" around it, first in Elixir, then Elixir went out of favor so they started rewriting in Go, then came GraphQL so some microservices were serving GraphQL while others stuck with REST, then different frontends in React, some with Redux, then redux was not the current trend so MobX, then MobX was not cool because now it was all hooks, then some moved to Next.js because of course nobody understood our custom in house webpack setup. Now I've heard they're moving to Svelte.

I honestly don't see how that can be better than sticking to Rails/Laravel/Django and embrace the monolith. All this madness of building things at every single company as if it were Netflix or Amazon is an insane waste of resources. Some days I feel like we (engineers) are like kids playing with the toys we want to play with rather than be solving real business problems and maintaining our projects in good shape technically speaking.

> XMPP is an open standard -> Doesn't this apply to Signal, too?

The Signal protocol is neither an open (you cannot propose changes or extensions in an open process) nor has it been submitted to an standards body.

> Some developers claim not to track users.

With Signal you have to trust a single entity not to track you. With XMPP you have the freedom to choose that entity (including choosing yourself).

> if we assume people can choose a non-identifiable username, then we can also assume people can choose a non-identifiable phone number

This is just dishonest. It's a lot harder to obtain a non-identifiable phone number than to think of a random username.
Reminds me of my time at a global bank. After many security incidents, they finally decided to step up their game, and implemented multiple security scans.

For any project using NPM, it was an absolute nightmare. Dependencies 3 or 4 levels deep would get flagged, and there wouldn't be a way to resolve them. The security teams didn't care, and multiple projects were left stranded. Since resolving those issues would mean having to contribute to open source, which we weren't allowed to do.

On the other hand, because we had specific security teams doing the scanning and assessing the results, you weren't allowed to question them, because they could just block your entire project. So developers were extremely unhappy with them, and what ended up happening is that developers just did what the security teams asked, without questioning. Which to me, let to more security concerns, because we were just pulling in libraries without knowing what had changed.

Sadly, the few devs who stopped relying on third party dependencies all left, because most of their work took longer (since they were implementing stuff that third parties usually do). Business teams took notice and questioned why everything was taking longer.

> Are they still doing the crypto scheme? I stopped donating when that started, but would be more than happy to pick it back up if they reversed course.

Yes it seems they are still doing the MobileCoin thing. I'm against cryptocurrencies, blockchain, NFTs, etc also, but nothing is forcing me to use it. I'd be curious to read some case studies or blog posts about how it is being used. For example, are people using it to pay for milk in rural India, send money to family in Myanmar, split dinner bills in New York?

Regarding donations, I would be happy to donate, but it would be great to see some financial reports. Other initiatives like Software in the Public Interest (SPI) and the OpenStreetMap Foundation publish yearly reports, which makes it easy to see how the projects spend their money, how much cash they have in the bank, etc. Pardon me, but I don't want to donate to Signal if they still have $50 million in the bank, or if their CEO is taking home a huge salary, or if they spend the money on fuse-ball tables. ;)
> Overall, I don't think "ethically defensible position" is equivalent to "they should not treat unvaccinated people" - yeah I guess this can be seen as "walking it back" but overall I did not mean to outright state we shouldn't treat the unvaccinated.

Thanks for clarifying. They also said "Drop the vaccine mandates, and drop the mandates to treat the unvaccinated." And you said "I do agree however." But I can believe you just meant the last sentence. Feeling frustrated is natural when your friends and family are harmed. I hope they can get what they need.
I'm arguing with your comments, not the article. Comparing Signal with XMPP is silly. It's like saying 'Firefox is more secure than XML'.

Signal is a product, XMPP is a protocol. That said, XMPP can be potentially used to build communication products that are far more secure than Signal because of a simple virtue of being able to control all components of a service instead of relying on someone else to run a server for you.

And no, this is not the same as verifying the code of Signal, because with your custom XMPP deployment you need to verify your code once, and not worry about the server admin adversary, while on Signal you will have to verify updates every single time.
> And crates.io prevents similar action how exactly?

You're confusing a service where anyone can distribute their half-assed package with the dependencies you adopt for your package.

It's not the job of crates.io nor npm to vend dependencies. That job is on you and on anyone who wants to consume a third-party package.

It's weird how some people complain that they are not obligated to perform any form of due diligence at all on basic things like be responsible for the crap they decide to mix with their work. I mean, the protest release of the colors package was done with a very obvious and very glaring major version bump, and people just swallowed it whole without any check at all? That's a problem of your own making, not npm or crates.io.

I appreciate your input. I think that listening to the experts who aren't politically motivated is one of my main goals, but it is very difficult (for me at least) to figure out who those people are.

I understand that government and private industry are not two clearly distinguishable Lego bricks, I understand that regulators need some industry people to know what they're regulating even at the risk of some revolving-door stuff, and I understand that some profit motive is necessary to get smart people to work on something in large numbers.

But the waters seem very muddy (and there seem to be a lot of axes to grind all around) as to who is acting in good faith and who is seeking to push some agenda or to guard some rice bowel even among people with excellent credentials.

Historically I've kind of leaned on credentials in deciding who to listen to on topics outside my field (which may or may not have been a good idea), but on this one there seem to be people with multiple advanced degrees from prestigious universities ranging from "being in charge of the CDC" to "banned from Twitter for promoting vaccine hesitancy".

How do you personally go about figuring out what the closest thing to a dispassionate group of experts is? I somehow doubt that either A) Fauci is a crook putting a microchip in my arm or B) all the signatures on the Barrington Declaration are all from nutjobs: I imagine there is some balanced debate in the middle but I'm not sure how to find it.

A small guide for naming stuff in front-end code
I came here to write something like that.. The headline outs Lufthansa as doing something wrong, well, their action is idiotic in the greater scheme of things, but it's entirely reasonable within the constraints of the system in which they must operate.
While I'm all for taking UK trains back under public control, note that one of the problems with the existing rail franchising system is that the franchise operators have almost no skin in the game. The trains and tracks are owned and operated by other companies. The franchise operators tends to be subsidiaries set up with very few assets, and can just be shut down if they fail. And while narrow margins of errors relative to their projections cause many of them to fail, when they succeed the profit relative to the actual investment made by the parent companies can be huge.

The incentives structure has been all wrong in that there is basically no penalty for the parent companies in taking outsize risks and underfunding the operations and then walking away if they fail.

Align those incentives and the rail franchising will likely still have issues but nowhere near as bad as today. E.g. if Deutsche Bahn faced having Arriva (their subsidiary which owns it's UK train operating companies) or themselves having to actually put up financial guarantees for the full period and facing long term effects on their ability to bid for future franchises, their bids would look very different.

Put another way: When Virgin and Stagecoach were actually held to reasonable standards (being expected to actually properly fund pensions? the horror) which led to Stagecoach being disqualified from several bids they caused a massive stink and Virgin Trains closed.
Same the second one just looks dark.
Another is Conway's Soliders:

A variant of peg solitaire, it takes place on an infinite checkerboard. The board is divided by a horizontal line that extends indefinitely. Above the line are empty cells and below the line are an arbitrary number of game pieces, or "soldiers". As in peg solitaire, a move consists of one soldier jumping over an adjacent soldier into an empty cell, vertically or horizontally (but not diagonally), and removing the soldier which was jumped over. The goal of the puzzle is to place a soldier as far above the horizontal line as possible.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Soldiers)

How many soldiers have to be put below the line before the game starts to enable at least one soldier to reach a given height over the line?

For height 1, you need 2 soldiers.

For height 2, you need 4.

For height 3, you need 8.

For height 4, you need ... 20.

For height 5, it's impossible, by the golden ratio.
Given how many avoid as much as possible to pay for their tooling, versus what happens in other professional fields, as long as Microsoft keeps shipping VSCode (naturally paid with Azure and Office profits), long term what JetBrains does better won't matter.

I'm having a blast nowadays with Laravel. After many years of building microservices and SPAs, I just can't believe how easy and refreshing everything is coming back to a "monolith". Yes, there's some spaghetti some times on certains parts, but I can just refactor stuff, create a PR, and easily improve the situation for me and my coworkers.

At my previous company you could only "touch" your own service, so once there was any kind of "architecture spaghetti"... good luck fixing that across 3 ~ 4 different services... and good luck aligning 3 ~ 4 teams priorities to fix it.

That's a pretty scary article, but doesn't seem to entirely square with the actual admissions data [1].

The largest hospital in the area, Barnes Jewish Hospital with over 1,100 beds had only roughly 10% of them filled with covid patients as of the last week in December. Most of the hospitals were no where close to capacity.

Mercy hospital, the second largest after Barnes had an average of 102 of 959 beds filled with Covid patients, again somewhere around 10%.

Also, these are patients with Covid, not necessarily patients admitted because of covid.

If we take the article's statistic of 2/3 of the admissions being unvaccinated, then for Mercy, for example, 67 of their patients are unvaccinated Covid patients, possibly incidental to their admission reason.

We're seeing 50-70% of "Covid admissions" in some places are actually "incidental", they were admitted for other reasons [2]. So the real number of unvaccinated sick covid patients at Mercy is probably somewhere between 30-50.

St Louis has a population of almost 310,000.

Doesn't really seem worth breaking out the pitchforks over, does it?
