Whether it's reasonable to use poison as a disincentive needs to depend on how often people consume it, accidentally or purposefully. If it's extremely rare, then this is a reasonable use case, even if we don't think poisoning is a reasonable punishment for tax avoidance (because, indeed, the poison is not intended to be a punishment).

Likewise, we put up physical barriers like metal posts and concrete walls to dissuade drivers from crossing certain lines even though it would obviously be outrageous to punish a driver for crossing a lane line by smashing their car. As long as drivers strike these very rarely, it's reasonable to use these as disincentives.

By all means, if we find disincentives (like bittering agents) that are just as effective with even less risk, we should use them. But claiming that poison is being used as a punishment for tax avoidance is unjustified.

no idea but I would wager that McDonalds sells a ton more burgers than Chipotle does burritos.

Funny addition to this is that the NY times just published an article on this topic with this funny anecdote:

"On a chilly Tuesday afternoon this month, James Marsh stopped by a Chipotle near his suburban Chicago home to grab something to eat.

It had been a while since Mr. Marsh had been to Chipotle — he estimated he goes five times a year — and he stopped cold when he saw the prices.

“I had been getting my usual, a steak burrito, which had been maybe in the mid-$8 range,” said Mr. Marsh, who trades stock options at his home in Hinsdale, Ill. “Now it was more than $9.”

He walked out."

My dad runs a machine shop, most of the work now is all CNC which means you will also be behind a computer screen. Also to get a machinist job, you would most likely need to go to a trade school for 2 years or some other similar program.

If you want to get into hand machining and you have the space, save some money and buy a used bridgeport mill. Those things are tanks and you can do pretty much anything with one.

75% of those deaths were over the age of 65, past retirement age. So we're talking -250k from a working pool of 150m (-0.17%). It seems to me that the pandemic impact on the other 99.83% of the workforce is what's probably moving the needle on any recent employment trends.

How to Tackle Legacy Code
It's the strangest disconnect right now between the actual health of the average person's bank account, and the sentiment that everything is terrible.

That is literally the opposite of true.

Thank you for sharing the story of EdgeDB!

I'm probably one of the early adopters of it. Honestly I don't want to write SQL never ever ever again after using EdgeQL.

Currently I'm migrating some of my projects to EdgeDB and already have one in production (it's low importance project in a beta-stage, so I can afford some risks). I also wrote my own scaffold generator for the stack I'm using (EdgeDB+Go+gRPC+Flutter), which generates .esdl and Go database-related files for me.

7+ months later I'm really impressed with user/dev-friendliness of the tooling. It's mostly a "just work" experience, error messages are surprisingly clear (and, thanks God, no python stacktraces on each error or wrong input). Speaking of which, I would still be happier if EdgeDB was written in Go (seems like the best fit for this niche), but I get that authors were more proficient in Python, and it works pretty great so far.

Some nitpicks that I have (all minor ones):
- in edgedb console shell if you hit Enter key it doesn't execute the query, but breaks the line. So there is an extra step to move cursor back to the end of the query before executing it (which is frustrating when you have to go to the middle of the query, change it and execute).
- I'm still not happy with how Optional types are implemented in Go library – end result, while being 100% correct and explicit, is overly verbose. Not a big deal when using code generator, but I feel like library API would benefit from simplifying it (I wrote some comments on github some months ago).

Anyhow, EdgeDB is a game changer and I'm looking forward for the stable 1.0 release!
Thanks for the concern. In a way it helped a lot for therapy, we were stuck for some time on not-the-right-target and I was contemplating going it alone...

It set me on a path to unpack all these things. I can still remember the horrible state of mind I was in, unable to get back out a memory unlocking loop, no one to help me snap back to the moment, like a involuntary purge, trauma-vomiting. Tens of minutes. Ugh. Never felt that before and I didn't think that was possible. I even thought there was something very wrong with me.

But now I understand these were my first panic attacks ever and I'd never had them before because of very efficient systematic diversion, and an acquired ability to clench my jaws and put that 'energy' into work or studies or 'being a better X' (husband, friend, father, son, colleague, manager, ally, plumber, ...).

Therapy is hard.

I am waiting for delivery of my new iPhone. I am switching from Pixel 2 XL which looks brand new and is fully functional and does everything I need. There is literally not a single thing that I miss in this phone other than newer OS and updates.

I have been delaying this decision for a year, but as a professional I can not continue using a phone that is not regularly updated. And so I will switch to a platform that will allow me to keep the device alive for much longer.
It’s the same idea. Instead of making a tighter spec and spending more resources making just the right number of parts meeting the specified tight tolerance, use a looser production tolerance and make a bunch of parts, and then (for an especially tricky use case) pick the parts satisfying a tighter tolerance after production, leaving the remaining parts for less demanding jobs.

Probably because this project has been in development for decades and overran it’s timelines and budgets multiple times (to my knowledge). Congress already hates funding NASA, can’t imagine they were lining up to give them more money when I’m sure they had been asking when’s this thing even gonna come out?

Also, FWIW, this thing has 100+ points of failure along its route to being fully deployed and getting to the L2 spot. A lot of people thought for sure at least one area would malfunction, would have easily doomed the whole launch. After this successful launch, it’s possible we’ll see discussion on building another in this design, but there is already a telescope in the planning stages for a 2027 launch, as well as four other concepts being developed for the future.

The biggest logical fallacy I've noticed during the pandemic is people making definitive statements like yours while the science remains uncertain and changing.

I don't know how much weight to put on this news snippet from yesterday from a Dutch scientist saying they're seeing people that got infected with Omicron getting reinfected with new Omicron subvariant BA.2: https://nyheder.tv2.dk/2022-01-21-ny-omikron-variant-spreder...
People underestimate just how much minor public health measures can dramatically improve livelihood and overall prosperity.

Before the advent of iodized salt, the prevalence of goiter in certain cities in Michigan was as high as 60%. This also led to various mental deficiencies in people in those regions. It turns out this was a direct consequence of the soil in the Midwest being naturally deficient in iodine, leading to drinking water not naturally supplementing the diet of those who lived there. Iodized salt, introduced in the 1920s, almost completely eradicated goiter in the developing world.

Did you look at that plot on page 2?

Choosing what certainly looks like a single dramatic outlier point which is 2 weeks older than the dashboard certainly seems like cherry picking.

Just look at the current dashboard data it shows ~440 deaths per day for the last 2 weeks. Again:

https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/

Also note that there almost aren't deaths from other flus over the last 2 years, likely because they don't have an R value >1 due to masking etc.

Look, I'm all for getting back to normal and letting the unvaccinated (and old, poor, sick) die off as god intended, but let's not pretend it's all due to a lack of joyful evenings in the pub.

@champagnois didn't make a reference to "the US", you did. Other countries have tried lockdowns and mandates.

Off the top of my head, Australia would be a great data source; They have tried territory-wide lockdowns, mandates, and even involuntary removal to quarantine facilities. Don't know what the outcomes would be in regard to cases and deaths per capita adjusted for comorbidity prevalence, etc. but it would be worth digging into.

Unfortunately many of the related articles and studies I've found present and defend conclusions with such vigor that there is no room for necessary discussion; they seem more focused on supporting one preordained conclusion or another. That having been said, I've seen equally qualified and credentialed researchers land on either side, providing good arguments for and against all that's mentioned above.

The science many want me to "believe in", often turns out to be political "science", not the process of science. Editing to add: I believe that "believe in the science", for most that repeat this phrase, actually means "believe in the outcome I support".

Edit again: Ugh. I was just asked "so what's your point?". So: @champagnois hasn't supported his statement, and neither have you. I was trying to say why not take the data that should exist for, say, Australia, and take a step closer to actually finding out if lockdowns, masking, mandates had statistically significant effects on mortality and morbidity? For extra credit, try to include concomitant adverse events occurring as a result of these measures? (The AE count would be a SWAG, but you could at least get an idea for the magnitude).
I have to believe that you leaving the "-deno" off of "coc-deno extension" was intentional which I find to be pretty funny.
I still have not had recent inflation change my budget my any noticeable amount. I simply do not see if in my every day life, or on my budget spreadsheet. I have to wonder how much of this is media obsession and how much is truly impacting household budgets.
What kind of bugs have you encountered in practice that were caught by mypy but not at runtime, manual, or automated testing? I am genuinely curious because in my experience the only time I have seen this is when you either transpose the order or arguments to a function (detected the first time you run it) or if you pass None when an actual value was necessary (detected the first time you run it).

Seems like Nintendo tried the same strategy over and over again, and it sometimes works due to the right confluence of decent hardware design (not all of their hardware is good) and the right circumstances.

It worked for the Game Boy. Its competitors were more powerful, but it turns out that people would rather not spend more money for a color screen if it your system chews through a set of six AA batteries in three hours.

It worked for the Switch. Its competitors were more powerful, but it turns out that people like the portability, and it doesn't seem like they're getting cut-down inferior versions of games for other systems.

It didn't work so well for the N64, Game Cube, or Wii U.

This is awesome, I really like the ML syntactic approach. I also really like the composability. I might just have to sign myself up as a contributor, because this checks off a huge chunk of my list of things that is wrong with SQL, and I'd love to see this succeed.

I know this is meant to transpile to SQL and so maybe this language is the wrong place to do this, but my biggest pet peeve with SQL is the ternary logic introduced by SQL nullability. I'm begging and pleading for this wart to go away, and I would love to see some algebraic sum types (Optional/Maybe, etc.) used in their place.
Thank you for great feedback!

> in edgedb console shell if you hit Enter key it doesn't execute the query, but breaks the line. So there is an extra step to move cursor back to the end of the query before executing it

You should be able to hit Alt+Enter to run a query regardless of where the cursor is. Let's discuss on our GH [1].

> I'm still not happy with how Optional types are implemented in Go library

Perhaps we should continue that conversation, now that you have a lot more experience with using the API!

> I would personally be very happy to use a significantly slimmed down subset of TypeScript if it provided a 62x performance improvement.

I'm just guessing but I think a lot of Typescript's really complex stuff is to support third party libraries with really complex types - at least they often refer to libraries they've improved support for when they discuss complex seeming additions. So I wonder how much of the JS ecosystem you'd have to cut off to get to such a subset. A particular example would be that I've often seen a chain of 20+ dependencies leading to Lodash, and I'd guess that Lodash is really complex to type. If you lose everything that's eventually dependent on something that's really complex to type, do you have much of NPM left?

I see how SQLite being just a file makes it easy to do lots of things from a developer point of view. However, I'm looking at this from a "business owner" point of view, at which point it's not just a file, it's my clients data. That's a bit scary for me, so I have a bias for "reassuring stuff" like managed databases with automated backups. This is why I'm looking for more info on "the hard parts" of managing SQLite. I'm conscious that this bias might not be based on reality, especially since I don't know well MySQL or PostgreSQL, especially how they store data on files. But as a relatively young developer, I've heard a lot that "data should go in the database" and databases are big scary things that should be managed by people with lots of experience and knowlegde in that role.

I'll take a look at fly.io, thanks.
Compiling typescript is basically just stripping the type definitions/annotations and other typescript-specific parts of the syntax out. That's a huge difference from actually type checking it.
