Both of these examples are the low side of healthy body fat % though (as evidenced by impressively visible abs), approaching 10%; Where 15% body fat is 50% more than visible abs, and still very healthy.

Stallone could be an example though

17.8% body fat at 5'10, 27.8 bmi (at age 38)

Vin Diesel @ 50 is not a bad option either for a 6' bmi obese (30.5), muscular, movie star (that isn't a body builder)

On many of our internal benchmarks, Deno's std/http server outperforms Node's http (so express/koa too). There's still some room for improvement on our end and we would like to put together rigorous benchmarks before sharing that broadly.
> Deno is the best TypeScript runtime I’ve found.

I may be nitpicking here, but Deno isn't a typescript runtime, is it? In the usual case, does it not transpile typescript to JavaScript and run the code from there?
> Yeah, I read those kind of comments before.

Just pointing it out: this is a really sneaky way to avoid providing any sort of evidence for your claims whatsoever.

But to address your claim: security and cyber attack stuff are not remotely comparable to IP theft. You'll have to do better than literally pull claims out of thin air.

And, exactly none of those incidents you mentioned have anything to do with IP theft. Your own examples demonstrate a consistent pattern of no IP theft.
No, the sellers of these fraudulent products (at least the first 5 on the search results page the OP linked to in the twitter thread) are already using FBA.

Amazon clearly doesn't care. Maybe a prosecutor bringing legal action against Amazon would be the best way to make them care.
As other people have pointed out, it doesn't seem like the author (or anyone else, perhaps other than you) is suggesting that shared state is a significant reason that tsc is slow.

But moreover, my takeaway was that the author is making a distinction between a complete rewrite and a port, where the former seems to be any rewrite that just tries to do the same thing (but may be architecturally very different), while the latter seems to be an approach where you attempt to directly adapt the original source code into a new language on a statement-by-statement basis. The latter would likely require the target language to support the programming paradigms which are used heavily in the original source code.
Considering that Ryan Dahl started both Node.js (where imports do not include file extensions) and Deno (where he added them back after deciding it was a bad decision to leave them off) I'm not sure how you've come to the conclusion that TypeScript/Node does importing correctly. Additionally, the ecmascript import syntax https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... specifically mentions that your tooling may or may not need file extensions but the examples in the spec (and indeed in browsers at large) require a full or relative path including the extension. If anything, I'd bet that file extensions make it into Node and tsc in the next few years.
You can't go lower than what the Chinese manufacturers have these days. You can easily get a TKL for less than $40 these days from Amazon with prime shipping.

Building certainly let's you control all aspects but you just can't compete on price unless you want something exotic like a split ergo or fancy metal chassis.
If you're writing UI code then even a few seconds is slow. You don't want to be waiting 5 seconds every time you move something a couple of pixels to the left.
I get her story. It's the same as lots of others who get similarly unhappy results, but who don't fly off the handle and write about it with all manner of emotional adjectives. The flip side of the coin lies in the unknown: without that warning, where would she be today? The vigilance theory of immunology has it that our bodies are constantly having all manner of genetic accidents, many of which are benign, some of which, over time, evolve to be cancers; the immune system is constantly watching for those accidents.
23&me and other sources provide eyes on the situation we otherwise don't have. Bad stuff happens. IMHO, far better to be warned as far in advance as possible. It's hardly worth click-bait headlines; the flip side is increased obituaries.
Yeah they pretty much did the same in the USA as well.
Natural immunity is not an acceptable solution. Not for sars-cov-2 just the way it wasn't for Polio. With Polio ~70% of people infected were asymptomatic. ~29% had bad diarrhea and gastrointestinal discomfort. 0.5% had that and then were paralyzed for life. It's a pretty apples to apples comparison.

Natural immunity is the worst possible outcome and it leaves millions with their lives ruined. Omicron, even in vaccinated populations, is not in any sense good or even less bad.
Nim has actually had that distinction for a while if you're interested. As far as I remember, the "func" keyword is sugar for a "proc" annotated with some kind of flag that enables side effect analysis.
We find what we look for.
> Unless maybe you count email as secure messaging in some way

I would say yes, considering email is often used as a primary means to reset account passwords. Most services support MFA (which could be somewhat of a mitigating security control), but a LOT of services still don't.
> The commissioners found Clearview scraped images of faces and associated data from publicly accessible online sources (including social media) and stored it in its database.

> What the commissioners recommended was that Clearview:

> • cease offering facial recognition services to Canadian clients;

> • cease collecting, using and disclosing images and biometric facial arrays collected from individuals in Canada, and;

> • delete images and biometric facial arrays collected from individuals in Canada.

> The company said those recommendations were impossible to execute.

Clearview claims that they have stopped selling to Canadian clients but they don't know where the people in the images are from. Probably true if they're just scraping images, but their argument seems to be "innocence by ignorance".

We don't usually allow that sort of argument in other areas. Stores cannot sell cigarettes/alcohol to minors and banks cant unknowingly launder money, and it is on them to make sure they collect enough data to comply with those laws. It may be hard or even impossible for Clearview to operate while following the law.. but maybe that just means they shouldn't.

If their phone doesn't have a replaceable battery then blaming the phone is correct.
Why Automated Security Robots Are the Next Big Thing
In this industry we use "developer" and "engineer" interchangeably, but one is not like the other. They don’t hand out brass rats at the end of a bootcamp…

> For early career engineers, it often happens because they lack practice working on teams. They train in school environments where they do classroom projects on their own, or work on long-term intern projects in a silo.

Serious engineering school would have student work together to ship projects.
I doubt that would be more palatable for the UK government
totally sorry, yes you are right, I forgot to mention I live in the US and that is how tax laws here are set up. And as a caveat I am assuming all income is salary.

Being highly paid in salary you are subject to very high taxation where someone who receives most of their income in stock and sells after holding for a year would have dramatically less taxes on the same amount of money received. Its why these CEO's making $1 a year(and having stock grants in the 100's of millions) are a slap in the face to the working engineer who incurs substantially higher taxes as a percentage than the CEO making 100x his salary.
The thing with all those projects is playing catch-up with upstream, and the possible variations from what is actually the official semantics depending on the TypeScript version.
Vaccines have failed to end the pandemic. Mask mandates and lockdowns have also failed to end the pandemic.

I think the best approach going forward is: (1) increased capacity at hospitals, (2) a generalized reduction in crowded events, and (3) improvements to all indoor ventilation systems.
Pfizer will make a lot more money if you need Pavloxid to treat your COVID than it would have made from the vaccine.
How Do Stocks Perform When Interest Rates Rise?
My original comment doesn't focus on the stealing IP part, only on the backdooring part.
That's the natural way languages develop, offensive terms replaces with euphemisms, given some time every euphemistic term become loaded with the same negative connotations of its origin and new euphemism get introduced.

People vent about getting asked to do free tech support because it's time consuming unpaid labor.

The premise of asking for a recommendation is that the tech has already done the research (e.g. for themselves) and can provide a two word answer off the top of their head. There is little reason to complain about this on a message board or even bother to remember when it happens. But it does.

You even admit to doing it yourself. How many swings of a $400 purchase from one vendor to another does it take per capita to be enough to care about?
too bad nothing like oink exists anymore, I remember being an early uploader of some interpol albums.
Also people just had great music tastes, you could go to any genre and sort and find heavy hitters you didnt know, who were amazing.

This is true. Growing up in an immigrant community (and as a minority myself), I would always hear people mock how open and trusting Americans were and how Americans were easily cheated. Anything involving the honor code would usually be violated.
Deno has _very_ custom module resolution rules. The first thing you notice is the required `.ts` extensions and browser-esque URLs. Oh, and also the import maps proposal (which is its own can of worms). Then you dig a little deeper and learn that deno also supposedly supports all `node` resolution rules sometimes via compat flags. Then you learn that it pulls types from magic `/// <reference types` comments, which sounds like what TS normally does, until you realize deno uses it to _override_ the types for JS files, and not pull in new files, which isn't something TS does at all. Oh, and `@deno-types` comments for overriding individual imports, besides.

One of the first lines in the deno docs is:

> Deno has no "magical" module resolution.

Which, as an implementor of module system rules, seems incredibly far from the truth of the matter (where deno has the most complex resolution rules of any runtime currently in use). I think maybe there were simple goals at the start, but that came crashing against reality and xkcd 927 executed in full force.
I believe this is in reference to those who have breakthrough infections while already vaccinated, hence acting as a "booster".

Unvaccinated with an omicron infection is not necessarily the same thing, and isn't likely to have as strong an immune response.
tsc is slow, so you port it to a faster language. tsc relies on shared state, so you use a language that supports shared state so you're just porting the same design to a new language instead of redesigning the whole program.
With cloud, millennials just reinvented the mainframe. Anything new is a well forgotten old.
I suppose it's true that you said "speculate", because one can speculate that the sky is green when you're not looking - speculation doesn't necessarily have anything to do with reality. Fair enough.
That is misinformation. There is no reliable scientific evidence that natural cellular immunity will wear off. You might be confused by antibody levels, which are relatively unimportant.

Thanks! This makes a lot of sense. I worked for an IBM marketing unit in the 1980s so saw some of this up close!
It was the same for me. Somehow, once you look past the fact that everything is at Apple's mercy and I can't make an app that runs on my phone unless I buy a computer I don't want to run a desktop OS I don't like (boo!), iOS actually better implements Android's promise of openness.

Apple is in a position where they can't expect everyone to be happy with iCloud, which is great because it means they actually put effort into supporting (decently!) a range of third party services. Siri generally isn't as smart as Google Assistant, but it also isn't completely obsessed with Google services. That is to say, unlike Google Assistant, every app on my phone - without exception - actually knows what is on my NextCloud calendar. And it actually gets useful information from my email to do helpful things with.

On the other hand, if you look at how Android has progressed over the years, I think Google has been trying very hard to forget about Android's past as a flexible operating system that exists outside of Google's ecosystem.

Also, I am only going to pay so much for a McDonald's sandwich before I decide the cost to quality ratio is too high, and either make it myself or go to a restaurant that has a better cost to quality ratio.

I find the making it myself option to be much better due to the increased volatility of quality. Sure, I might spend 2 hours cooking and cleaning, but I know the quality will be good 100% of the time, whereas spending $25 per person may or may not get me a decent meal because the restaurant does not have steady employee and/or is cutting corners on quality ingredients to make up for other cost increases.

I think this would hurt the middle restaurants more than McDonalds though. McDonald's has it all streamlined so they can manage costs and still delivery consistency at a low price, but the restaurants in the middle that are okay, but not top tier no longer make sense.
Is this also partly a “measurement artifact” of looking at streaming activity instead of physical media or download purchases?

If you were just looking at physical media purchases or downloads, those would be overweighted toward new music vs. what you actually listen to. Streaming picks up the stuff that’s already on your shelf, so to speak.
Half of its value is less than after-tax value, which is at least the initial investment + 63% of the gains.
Death by a thousand paper cuts. As an example, the local breakfast shop. The owner claimed he couldn't find cheap employees anymore, they all left to sit at home on unemployment (his words, not mine). He also bemoaned the additional time for sanitizing everything. I saw his quality of food go down, and he didn't transition back to using real utensils (this is a major downside for me, thin plastic cutlery stinks).

Further, they didn't adapt digitally to the take-out heavy model. The prices went up across the board, too. You get a worse meal for 10% more than you used to get a good meal.

A multivariate model of all the inputs would show that many variables matter. They're losing demand, they're paying more for inputs, they're not able to get employees, rough spiral to be in.
The loophole is that you can get $1M deposited into your bank account, but because it's technically a loan it isn't considered income. This doesn't require a wealth tax, (and getting ex. a home loan shouldn't be taxed as income), but being able to utilize wealth to get a pile of cash that is not taxed is effectively untaxed income IMO.

A wealth tax could address this, but perhaps there are other legislative options, like (partial?) realization of capital gains when used as loan collateral in the income tax code, or something like that. I'd prefer that latter, as it seems more direct.

But I don't know the specific best way to address this, I'm no a tax expert. But, I think its pretty clear that this scheme is an abuse of the system and should be remedied in some way.
My job is literally speaking the binary language of cooling and dehumidification systems.

Sure, that's "rich" in the same sense as someone who enjoyed years of returns on a passive index fund imo. Very rich relative to most of the world, not fabulously wealthy like the few driven and lucky startup lottery winners.
Point taken, however: modern apps don't run on 80s hardware, but they do run on a Pixel 3. The line in the sand just needs to align a bit more with the physical capabilities, for e-waste reasons.

> You are assuming way too much good faith

I'm just going by conversations I've had with people in person and online, and assuming that this is broadly reflective of society overall. Don't get me wrong, I am quite sure that there are people who are cancelling people for sadistic pleasure and get a kick out of torturing someone and use hot-button issues to do so. However I cannot imagine this type of person outnumbering those with good-faith concerns at a 10:1 ratio.

Wow I forgot how hard it is to read the combination of "weird thing happens" and "local news outlets write about it first". Not much in the way of details. How close did she get? Did she actually touch any of the monkeys, or their cages? Local news never asks the interesting questions.
The comic was pretty unfunny and ignorant. For most people, COVID never was a major threat, and getting infected and getting immunity was always a valid approach. Read the great Barrington declaration, signed by over 10,000 scientists and thoroughly attacked by people like Dr. Fauci without any science backing the attack. Also read all the studies on the matter, which almost universally conclude those with natural immunity fare better against re-infection than those with vaccine immunity alone.

Speaking as an unvaccinated with natural immunity, along with all my immediate family and friends in the same boat.

Edit: adjusted signature numbers for Barrington declaration.
Yes, but one cloud devops can do what 10x what sysadmins, hardware and network engineers can do.

Make sense, aside from suprise volcanoes the oceans are also the linchpin of our climate and biosphere. The oceans have the potential to kill every single one of us fast if not kept healthy. I always joke that our global economy should be based on how the oceans are doing, except I'm totally not joking. It's a big biogeochemical machine that we can't replace or fix. We can only choose to break it, or not break it.

> All of those things were taken well after any reasonable patent would have expired, so I don’t think they are comparable to the ip theft currently being discussed in this thread.

"IP" is broader than patents that tend to have an expiry date - but even the expiration periods of patents is determined by the host government and not the appropriator. The US has a lot of classified information that would have long since expired had it been a patent, e.g. 1970's nuclear tech, alloys used in submarines, stealth coating on jets. Porcelain and the other examples gp gave would have fallen under the blanket of "National Security" rather than patents.
It's what fuels culture wars and allows them to overshadow more pertinent issues. Media understands the power of irresponsible, incendiary language as bludgeons.
Probably, even if it is only accidentally. The Congressional Budget Office produces long-term estimates on things, and I'm guessing they aren't ignoring inflation. So, for example, a proposed law has $X ramification, according to the CBO, over the course of 10 years where X is an acceptable amount. If you were to adjust to make the law account for inflation, X would change, potentially into something not acceptable.
Why wasn’t this caught by a million different processes that most teams have? Scrum, team lead, n different managers, etc. This is on the process, not the engineer.

This risk is omnipresent in the universe. We never know what possible futures we cut off when we make a fork in the road. You don't ever step into the same river twice. However, this risk also applies to the projects you like. If we all worried about this we'd not do anything. Rhetoric like "Gemini sucking the air out of the room," "person who spends 250 hours working on Gemini," "it's like voluntourism," -- I could just as well replace Gemini with triplescripts throughout your comments.
