Based on the title I expected this to be about bisphenols and their detrimental effects on male fetus development.

And now I'm left wondering how much of that effect actually contributes to what's being discussed in TFA. Underdeveloped males probably underperform in myriad ways.

Yes I agree with all that you said.

It's still something that can be "objectively" figured out, like you did.
NPR recently did an interview with the author and translator: https://www.npr.org/2022/01/29/1076663955/nobel-prize-winner..., this was the first time I’ve heard of this book, it sounded very interesting.

It's not quite two static files.

The Go binary is a custom web server for handling access to the book. This will be similar to how a few other book authors have handled access: a link you click in an email (like a one-time sign in token) that gets you access. The Go binary is also responsible for receiving and resolving Stripe Links web hook calls.

The book itself is made up of hundreds of pages, images and more. It's all built using MkDocs + Material.

The custom workflows meant I needed a small, custom app.
That's pretty cool! What are they using Ada for? I'd love to have a reason to learn and use Ada. Spark looks really cool, I love invariants, it just seems the perfect language for me.

I sense that you haven’t fully internalized the idea of some of the popular open source licenses.

Such licenses are a bit like letting go of a balloon. Most times, the balloon will float away and pop on some tree with no benefit to anyone. In a few rare occasions, your obnoxious neighborhood kid will grab that balloon and play with it all afternoon.

You might not like that the kid is enjoying your balloon but no right minded person would expect that the kid’s parents recompense you for the balloon you let go willingly.

> you are not arguing in good faith, but rather, building a strawman.

First strawman is not the word here anyway. That would mean I misrepresent others to make it easier to knock down their arguments.

That said, I'm not a native speaker and it probably affects the quality of my arguments.

I'll try to rephrase it as a thought experiment:

If one ask

- a random sampling of men to distance themselves from a tweet that says women should be chained to the kitchen

- and a random sample of women to distance themselves from a #killallmen tweet

how do one think the results would be?

> I'm not going to engage with this style. Thanks.

Your choice, for the benefit of everyone else I answered.

But I think it is unfair to say I argue in bad faith.
I prefer the style of OpenSCAD but I’ve found that there are certain things that the software just is either really hard to achieve or incapable of doing entirely. One recent example is that I was designing a part for injection molding and I needed to add a draft angle to the part. This seemingly simple operation is rather trivial to do in FreeCAD and Fusion 360. It is not at all trivial in OpenSCAD.

Another example of OpenSCAD’s limitations is the render time for parts produced by boolean operations which this change purportedly helps a lot with. But there is also still not a guarantee that the output of those boolean operations is actually a manifold object. Slicers these days are actually quite good at repairing geometry but even with a moderately complex part produced by boolean operations (in my case it was often one that required subtraction of cylinders across multiple pieces of an object) I found OpenSCAD’s output to produce some bizarre issues with geometry that even the slicer could not repair very well.

I too like OpenSCAD the best and often find myself more productive in it than other pieces of software, especially for simple models. But for complex models it can’t really hold up to the more traditional parametric modeling software (yet)
Seems like tailstrikes aren’t as dangerous as one might expect: “A minor tailstrike incident may not be dangerous in itself, but the aircraft may still be weakened and must be thoroughly inspected and repaired if a more disastrous accident is to be avoided later in its operating life.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tailstrike?wprov=sfti1

If you do a Google image search, you’ll see lots of cases of them happening.
They had acquired a company that had written all their code in Ada. The company was founded by a guy who learned to program from doing defense contracts as a grad student. So, that's why he decided to do everything in Ada.

I buy my curtains & couches by look and feel. For pants, "denim" will go a long way. For shirts, I've learned to care a bit about fabric, because there are properties (whether you'll sweat in them; whether they need to be ironed all the time to look OK) that are not evident from look and feel alone.

To be sure, I recognized most of the fabric words as words (wouldn't have been sure about "sateen" as opposed to "satin"), but they only one I could have defined was "tulle".

And in my part of the world, espadrilles are not infrequently worn by men.

But it's funny how people who are utterly indifferent about fabrics can sometimes hold forth at length about the relative merits of PLA, PETG, ABS, PVA, or TPU ;-)
Two very common views people will adopt to demonstrate the above:

The gender pay gap: clearly there is no legitimate or natural way that men would make more money than women in a fair system, so the system must be biased against women.

The gender academic success gap: boys don't pay attention or do their work so it's only natural for girls to do better.

It's clear that for both of these thoughts to exist in someone's head, they must think there's a superior gender.
Good lord I could not more strongly think the opposite. It’s a massive resource sink for anything of even modest scale, and in my experience it’s literally been 10x the overall cost, with many, many fewer 0s of uptime guaranteed.
You mean the same Facebook that I bought a VPN provider so they could put spyware on users phones?
First off, the Cloud isn't expensive. Cloud misuse and bad architecture is expensive. It's a lack of skill (and to some degree tooling as well) that cause this to happen, expensive is not some inherent property of the cloud. Also, unless you are in some sort of business that has suddenly found itself without the need to innovate, or you are building a very commoditized thing, there is no reason to ever go in house.

Second, the reason people go cloud is not because they can't be bothered to configure things. It's because they have realized that any time spent doing undifferentiated work like that is a complete and utter waste of time and capital.

Third, the clouds power (and ultimately why it's less expensive) is not its ability to spin up infra in a hurry, the clouds power is elasticity. Properly architected cloud applications spin resources down as freely as they spin up, without intervention. You don't pay for idle and you certainly don't have to pay an army of people to maintain things that are now completely automated and realized in code or at the very least managed (without you having to think about it) for you.

Going multi-cloud, and forcing yourself to use the lowest common denominator services that are common across cloud providers is a really great way to miss out on all of those things.
Using "technically" is a license to nitpick! So, Europe by default means the continent. It doesn't include territories elsewhere and includes eg most of Russia, but not Caribbean or African islands (St Barths / Tenerife).

I want know how can javascripts in frond-end browser get access to PostREST api with the CORS limit.
I don't know if this is everyone's reasons but for me it is:

- it does too much. doesn't follow the Unix norms of doing one thing and doing it well. things like DNS resolution, time sync, etc all exist as systemd components.

- complexity - similar to doing too much but also just that it is no longer easily inspected and understood imo.

- participates in the Linux cycle of reinventing the wheel, excessively. Linux distros felt like they were changing their service management commands every other release for a while.

- breaks compatibility with BSDs.

I'm sure it solves real problems for real people.. but I don't like it.

> Sharing, caring, family, food, etc

I really dislike religion claiming monopoly on morals.

Even tribes of cavemen cared for each-other. We have evidence of people being cared for and living for years with crippling iniiries. They could not care for themselves let alone help the tribe.

Even animals care for each-other and protect each-other, can't claim culture or religion there - its a basic feature of evolution.

If there was actually a correlation between religion and morality, then we would see less crimes like murder/ robbery /rape in religious societies. If anything, the opposite is true.
I picked one up at the junk shop last year. It came with several spools each with recordings from long ago (late 1950s). People playing piano, singing, recording the radio, or reading from letters.

There's a unique quality to the audio - combination of speaker and medium. I've recorded onto wire and then back onto a Zoom recorder over wire with good results.

Amazing machines, and something to be said for the longevity of the wire!
This reads like Renaissance era propaganda. It was mostly a reaction to existing social pressures which used the notion of the classics to promote change.

People did not go out and restart republics (for a couple centuries, which is a long time), nor bring back Aristotelian astronomy (rather the opposite), nor rituals of the old gods, nor rediscover ancient works that hadn’t been intentionally preserved by centuries of medieval scribes (papyrus lasts < 500 years in moist Europe). They reinterpreted the past. It was no longer “copy the procedures of the great doctor Galen”, it was “copy the curiosity”.
In areas where men are the minority, there are spaces that cater to men.

For example, we have parent-child meetups here. Since it is almost exclusively mothers who show up (despite being open to all parents), they at some point introduced an extra meetup for fathers. This gives men an opportunity to take part in something with their kid where they aren't the only man in the room.

X-only spaces make sense when X is marginalized or a minority. If you start a kindergarten teacher group for men, noone is going to complain.

What does this all mean from IaC perspective?

Let’s say you can define all your containers, orchestration, database and middleware in a compact way (Dockerfiles, Terraform, etc) with cloud vendor independent open source tools, using managed OSS.

How much of that code would be dependent on your cloud provider, really? Maybe a thousand lines of hopefully modularized platform dependent configuration code?

Migration from one system to another would still be an effort, but not that big one?
In the context of this article, and I presume the parent comment, “bare metal” refers to a hosted VM (like ec2 instances) not running your own data center.

I know that I am showing my cultural biases. But the entire way of thinking that you are describing strikes me as fundamentally evil. Subsuming the individual to the social unit is at the heart of the worst excesses of racism, nationalism, etc. If you look for the worst mass crimes in history, you will find this idea at the core.

Conversely, liberty starts with valuing humans for the individuals that they are. And not as mere appendages which serve a larger whole.

WIV was bringing in bat's and pangolins from all over asia and engineering them to cross between species and enter cells using the a human Ace2 protein pathway. They published several papers you on their success making new viruses that do exactly this.

This is not proof, but you have to admit it ups the probability.

I'm not sure, but my understanding is that there are two databases of interest. The NIH one that WIV uploaded sequences to, and a separate WIV database. The WIV database went offline entirely in sep 2019 and hasn't come back. In early 2020 sequenced uploaded to the NIH were deleted. A some the NIH sequences were the ones recently restored and mentioned in your link.

It uses Blackbox technology and was based on Pascal. It was built on DoD standards. I did Ada programming in the late 1990s as a federal contractor. We used Janus ADA for DOS which cost $10,000 per license. Try one of the free and open source ones unless you have a company that can buy a license from a commercial one for you.
Metrics feels like another area where you should allow exception. Prometheus is like a tank, I’ve never seen it misbehave and if you set retention short it’s very close to a fire and forget deployment with very little configuration, especially if you only use it to monitor two other static services.

These metrics will be invaluable to tell you how close to the limit you are running your single dependency, to avoid adding premature cache in front or whatnot.

The integration of Prometheus with other tools also make it worth the extra component, rather than reinventing your own time series in PG.

Logging is a whole different beast. Especially if you even think about Elastic.

Isn't it what we also do when we negotiate the highest possible salary? What's so terribly and inherently immoral to that?

To me this sounds a bit ideological-driven decision making.

The fact is they never raised their prices. People decided to use knowing the price. They weren't screwed afterwards. If the service is saving precious time and money, buying opportunity for the business, why would I ditch it?

Because AWS is extracting as much as they can? Great, I wanna use services from successful people. I just want them to come forward in advance about how much they cost, not later after I decided.

The links you provided relate to China’s PR releases about female Chinese scientists and researchers. Whether they’re true or not (that is, China’s actual intentions and thoughts about gender equality), I submit that the Chinese are highly xenophobic, racist, and insular. That is a positivist statement and I make no negative normative claim about it - as I said, if anything I can understand why the Chinese are that way, and it appears to be paying off. The fact is, China is one of the most racially homogenous countries on earth. I’m not even sure how a China committed to racial diversity would differ from how it looks now, except that it would allow immigration from other countries (which it almost invariably does not, currently).

As to blacks, the latest data I saw (a few weeks ago) showed that blacks had fallen even further behind whites and Hispanics during the pandemic in terms of education. I suppose you will reply by saying that’s because it’s reported at the population level instead of in a study, and that it isn’t a fair comparison. The logic would be that if blacks are already disadvantaged, then the pandemic would affect them even more.

I will do some research before I say anything else.
"America" is used by US people as a synonym for the country, not the continent. Europe, the EU, and names countries are used with distinction at least by Europeans.
Have worked on a few SaaS apps that are built on just a couple of Linode/DigitalOcean VMs and bare metal DBs. Costs on AWS would have been 3-4x more. It isn't difficult writing Chef scripts or building a postgresql cluster with auto failover.

Unfortunately now finding engineers who can work outside of the big 3 cloud providers are rare. The lock-in is actually industry wide, not just from a resourcing point but also if you want to be taken seriously from an investor perspective. And of course with VC money you can just throw a chunk of it on AWS, but if you are bootstrapped it’s a different story

Having said that, eventually there will be a need to move to cloud once you are about to hit a certain scale or have more compliance and security requirements
That's a great idea! We've identified a use case with solar companies for aiding in sales...this is a great additional case.
One way is to think about instances in your work or life where you've encountered a problem, searched for a solution, and settled on a solution that either took a lot of work or was suboptimal (or, better yet, didn't find a solution at all). If you've encountered that problem, there's a good chance that others have, too. Once you have some ideas for products, you can validate them by checking Google Trends to check if people are searching for it, or by creating landing pages for the products (that don't exist yet) to measure inbound traffic.

Another approach is what Paul Graham said: "Live in the future and then build what's missing". You can start working in a leading-edge area of technology and build things that are missing. Others that are also working the field may be searching for a solution to the same problem and then find your solution.

In any case, it will probably take multiple tries or pivots before you find product market fit.

You can also modularize code that goes into something like Lambda as well, and distance your code from proprietary APIs through interfaces. Also under 1,000 LoC.
