Before you ask someone to proof read anything, you should generally take the effort to step back and try to proof read it yourself. The same goes with code reviews.

I think there is absolutely value in soliciting feedback throughout the process, but would consider those earlier feedback stagea to be design and/or implementation reviews (which depending on feature size should happen with varying degrees of formality.) It is useful to be explicit about the types of review because the types feedback that are useful vary throughout the process. If you are looking for design feedback and someone complains about unimplemented tests, that generally isn't very helpful. If you are looking for a final code review for polished code and you get feedback about the underlying design, then you really needed to get that feedback earlier in the process.
I wonder if these limits actually do some client-side performance analysis, or if they just have all iOS devices hardcoded with those low limits. An iPad Pro is likely significantly faster than a whole lot of laptops used to play Townscaper.

This is a strange comment to me.

In all provinces, the elderly were the very first to get vaccinated. First. First to get second vaccinations, and for a long time, the only group allowed to even get a third shot.

There are no unvaccinated elderly people running around, unless they insist on not being vaccinated. In such cases, that's their choice, and no one should take additional precautions for those opting out.

Your last paragraph makes sense, but the rest?!
It doesn't seem to address my concern at all. Trudeau did not indicate in any way that his support for the right to protest was contingent on the policy being protested. as quoted in the article:

“I would be remiss if I didn’t start by recognising the news coming from India about the protest by farmers. The situation is concerning. We are all very worried about family and friends. We know that’s a reality for many of you. Let me remind you, Canada will always be there to defend the rights of peaceful protesters. We believe in the process of dialogue. We’ve reached out through multiple means to the Indian authorities to highlight our concerns. This is a moment for all of us to pull together.”

He offers absolutely no opinion on the policy in questions. You will find the other quotes of Canadian government officials do likewise. Do you understand what I mean?
I have my gripes with Google, but from working there, I can definitely give them props for how much they cared about accessibility. It’s in their mission statement, and they take that seriously.
Interesting how OO-focused this is. I work at Google today, in relatively old C++ and JS (now converted to TS) codebases, and we have no particular emphasis on forcing every function to be a method of a class. I don't think this has especially harmed testability.
The vaccine mandates prevent unvaccinated people from accessing areas of higher risk transmission. Unvaccinated people (particularly the elderly) are more likely to end up dead or with a serious hospital visit if they catch the disease.

At the moment hospitals are overwhelmed and so at this point the vaccine mandates are about keeping hospital admissions from exploding.
But we don't allow the extremes of barely related events to calibrate what should or shouldn't be alarming about other events.
Isn’t that also the US side policy? That the United States demands that Canadian truckers also be vaccinated?
I appear to have rate-limited from editing that comment after double clicking on mobile, but this is what I was going to add:

Edit: As I note in the linked comment, this channel is openly supportive of the protests. As I also write there, a quick YouTube search will yield a large variety of other sources. The important thing is finding sources with long and unedited footage. As Jacques Ellul observed, "propaganda ceases where simple dialogue begins." (This seems to be the primary driver of interest in long-form podcasts.)

I chose to share a channel with a positive bias because 1.) in my view Frei does a respectable job engaging counter-protestors with opposing views and 2.) in my view, mainstream coverage of this skews more negative than is warranted based on having watched many hours of livestream footage.

Canada has never had a vaccination mandate for truckers and in all likelihood never will. It has a requirement that truckers crossing the border are vaccinated which reciprocates a requirement first put in place by the US.
That's unfortunately true, however those cases are frequently reversed and returned by judges (though the burden is entirely on the asset owners to bring the case). We definitely need legislation to invert the process though, law enforcement should be going to a judge before they can seize the assets.

I did as a protest to both left and right malaise. In Canada a party gets a certain level of funding based on their popular vote which is another reason I voted for them.
> Last week they arrested an old man for merely honking his horn to show support

Managed to hurt him too.

Imagine being in law enforcement. Coming home to your family and brag about how you physically hurt an old man and bullied him out of his constitutional rights.
I am sorry for your loss and I hope that you and your family received justice and resolution in the end.

I did not call this a coup and I respectfully do not regard the requests outlined as "drawing on reserve powers" in the regular Canadian constitutional order. The appointment of citizens committees to govern would clearly be an illegal act.

I am trying to engage in good faith to the best of my ability on this topic, that's all I can do.
This argument is fallacious and also worded extremely disingenuously.

1) The "Common Denominator Fallacy" accepts both of an argument or position on the grounds that both sides share at least some common assumptions. In this case, you're attempting to draw common ground between the issues of bodily autonomy involved in abortion, and the protester's views of bodily autonomy w.r.t. vaccine mandates. This is incorrect; someone having an abortion or not fundamentally only affects that person; it does not cause someone else to get sick or die. Not being vaccinated, in some circumstances, does.

I don't support mandatory vaccination for all jobs (e.g. cutting down trees outside can be done just fine if you're not vaccinated), but part of living in a society is accepting certain restrictions on oneself to support the common good. The argument being made by the Canadian government is that vaccine mandates are such a restriction.

2) Nobody is "forcing" anyone to take a vaccine. People may choose to not be vaccinated, but if they make that choice, then they must live with the outcomes of that choice. In this case, truckers are perfectly capable of choosing not to be vaccinated, but the outcome of that choice is not being allowed to cross borders. Not "lose their job" - just live with certain restrictions on their behaviour as a result of their choice.

(Side note: owners of trucking companies may choose to terminate an employee for not being able to drive to the USA if that's a job requirement, but that's at the discretion of the company and is not mandated by the government. They could, for example, also choose to retask unvaccinated employees to drive routes that are not subject to mandates.)
If society keeps on "working", the protest wasn't effective. We never got any changes for the better by voting.
The government is restricting border crossings -- the protesters are seeking free access to cross!

Imagine if Trump had declared martial law during his mandate to push through something he otherwise couldn't. This is literally the equivalent. There is one question of whether or not you support the cause of the protestors. The relevant question here should be whether the government can break usual norms and declare an emergency to grant itself power it otherwise wouldn't have. If you don't agree with the protestors, fine. But that shouldn't be carte blanche to ignore the rule of law and grant outsized powers to the state. If it can happen with something you support, it can also happen with something you don't support. I can't believe that so little time has passed since all the concerns about what trump could do with unchecked power, and people are suddenly perfectly cool again with the government having unchecked power

> Frankly, I'd be more than happy forcing everyone to inject saline once if it saved everyone $10

Twice right? And then a saline booster every 6 months too right?

> I'm not especially concerned about "a few tax dollars" and I'm happy to pay my taxes.

Your lead argument for mandating vaccination was the potential cost of care.

> But inflation from printing money hurts everyone, as do cuts from other government programs meant to help those in need, and both are likely. Maybe over-taxing the rich would too, but that'll never happen, so I'm not sweating that.

I have no clue what you’re talking about here.

> Still, I think it's disgusting that you'd rather let people be homeless, starve to death, or die from lack of access to medical care than that we just demand that the members of society stop being anti-social.

I said no such thing.

There’s a world of difference between opposing a mandate that everybody take a vaccine and opposing vaccines.

Everybody who wants one should get one. They’re free, available on just about every corner, and I’m not aware of anyone right now who wants one who can’t get one.

I’m also not aware of anyone except the most paranoid triple vaxed that still wear a mask outdoors. Now thats anti-social. Not “following the science” either.

> Alternatively, I think it's disgusting that you think you're entitled to everyone's money for treatment that a simple 15 minute trip to the pharmacy could have prevented, which you avoided just to spite all of those people who now have to pay the tab. If we could exclude the voluntarily unvaccinated from COVID-related medical treatment, that'd be a good and fair compromise, but for some reason anti-vaxxers throw a tantrum when that's suggested too.

We do it for smoking. For obesity. For just about every other choice a person can make. There’s nothing special about covid that you should give up dominion over your own body. Hell, for the vast majority of non-obese under 50, it’s barely a flu.

We're literally in a post about Trudeau invoking powers that allow him to suspend even civil rights (EDIT: I misread, that was the previous version of the act, he cannot suspend civil rights) (even if he probably won't do that) over a protest that has gone on for a month without any attempts made at reconciliation, it's hard to argue that this isn't an undermining of democracy in Canada.

The protests in India lasted over a year with several rounds of talks despite being in the midst of a worse wave of covid than now, yet they didn't resort to using their equivalent of these powers.

It really does make India's democracy look stronger than Canada's.
Pretty much this is the core difference here. Is this a protest or an occupation?

No one is gonna bat an eye if you block and intersection or a bridge for a day (ok maybe if it's the ambassador bridge).

But eventually, if you start occupying the space for days and weeks on end, there are limits to people's patience.

When a protest becomes an occupation, there are impacts on those whose neighbourhood is being occupied. Downtown Ottawa residents ain't happy.
Do you think Hitler is often invoked in good faith?
Ideologically, I'm with you. But you can't dismiss the practicality of it all.

When it comes to smokers for example, people have realized that adding a tax to cigarettes and other tabaco products could make it practical that people get subsidized treatment of smoking induced medical issues.

So the increase in medical cost and strain to the system is offset by a tax. On top of that, there are also restrictions of where you can smoke/drink, how you can advertise for it, etc., making the prospect of doing so less enticing. And the tax act as a disincentive as well.

This also applies to alcohol.

In other cases, substances have been outright banned, and I don't mean just narcotics, but also things like chemicals in foods, products, construction materials, etc.

Some people argue the same in order to tax sugar and fast food (and I can't remember if there are any such tax in Canada yet or not, but some cities in the US have it).

Similarly here, the institutions are faced with a real practical challenge. The cost and strain to the Canadian healthcare system of COVID as a whole is huge, and of that cost and strain, the majority is now from unvaccinated.

You can ideologically agree they all should be covered, but it's now hurting other medical care, and the cost is just getting larger and larger.

That's where, similar to tobacco and alcohol taxes, options for COVID are being explored.

That's why people have been talking about a tax for the unvaccinated. And maybe that's a better way then mandates, but in any case, I don't think it is useful to just dismiss the practical cost/strain of the unvaccinated right now, because that's what is motivating the legislature and other civil servant to pursue mandates.

So the topic needs to be addressed, if you want to convince people mandates aren't the way to go, you need to address their concern with why they want mandates in the first place, and that's the strain/cost to the healthcare system primarily.
The Virus and the Vaccine (2000)
See how quickly you tried to narrow it down? This is tricky because the scenario seems so easy to contain in a given example, the straw-example-man so to speak. But the point is not the job or intersection of job titles, it's the conversion of scenario into broader principle. The author has started this pathway for us in their post.

Abstraction allows one to theorize and stay big-picture more effectively, so if a different but still relevant individual or position comes into play later, the rules aren't instantly outdated.

I wouldn't limit a message or rule to a position like "recruiter" if I wasn't sure that's exactly who I wanted to speak to, because that just leaks leverage all over the place.

And also, I'm thinking of many different positions, possibly hundreds, not just the poor recruiter... They do get a lot of flak :D
Ten Hundred Megaseconds
The border blockade quickly put thousands out auto workers out of work.

Let that happen for long and you'll quickly have thousands of workers who need to feed their families converging in the blockade to take matters into their own hands.

It's not just the immediate impact, either. Canadian manufacturers who sell to the U.S. (which is pretty much all of them) are constantly fighting against 'buy American' legislation that makes it more likely companies will shift production out of Ontario - and trade disruptions make it even harder to compete if Canada looks like a flaky trading partner that can't even keep its own border open. And manufacturing workers know what's at stake, and things would get ugly quickly.

So it's not just inconveniencing corporations - it's threatening the short and long term viability of tend of thousands of jobs and the people working those jobs aren't likely to take it laying down.

So blocking trade isn't off the table, but anyone who does it had better expect the government to treat it as a public order emergency because if they don't, it will very quickly become a public order emergency on its own.
I think pro-life supporters would argue that abortion leads to the death of the unborn child, who they believe has a right to be born. Is a woman required to carry an unwanted child to term because the fetus has rights? Is a Canadian trucker required to receive an unwanted vaccine to protect the old and vulnerable? Personally, I see a lot of similarities in the ambiguity of where the boundary exists between the rights and responsibilities between two parties relative to each other.

One of the premises/promises of OO is the ability to substitute implementations (in particular, dynamically, but in a modular programming sense also statically). An over-reliance on concrete classes makes this harder to achieve, and (in the context of the list, which is about testing) means you have a larger portion of the program that has to be brought into the test harness to test something.

On the former, using concrete classes instead of interfaces can be worked around if they're still configurable, but now you have inappropriate (or potentially inappropriate) subclasses to compensate for the lack of an interface. On the latter, well, it makes testing harder which is the entire point of the list. If A has two components B and C which are both tied to concrete classes and not interfaces, then you have to bring A, B, and C into the test harness when you really just want A and (possibly) B or C or stubs/mocks for them.

If you don't care about testing (and, in particular, unit testing), and don't care about substitutability, then don't worry about it.

How much did this election cost?

Canada got vaccine way after the US because they simply wouldn’t help companies pay for R&D and secure orders earlier, like the US did. So while you could get a walk-in vaccine at Wallmart here in America people were waiting in line for weeks for a chance at an appointment in Canada.

Imagine how many lives it could have saved instead had they just put that money toward getting vaccines earlier.

Potentially a DAO
When I first got into Wordle, I remember discussions about what is a good starting word, and I would usually opt for something like:

STARE

Then, when I discovered https://squabble.me (which implements a competitive Wordle with "battle royale" dynamics) I decided that spending time thinking of the optimal follow-up word was costing me too much HP, so I found a pair of starting words:

YOUTH ARISE

which gave me coverage of all the vowels (including Y) and some other common letters.

After gaining more experience with this setup, I looked at letter frequency charts, and used an anagram solver to find a trio of starting words:

THUMP SOLID CRANE

which was enough of an advantage that I was able to win a good percentage of Squabble games.

Today, though, I checked a replay of a game where I came second, and discovered that someone had taken this strat to the next level, since they were consistently starting with the four guesses:

DUCKY FORTH WINGS MAPLE

This seems riskier, as you only give yourself a single "spare" guess in which to try finding the locations of some of the letters you've already found, and I have often been in situations where I needed to brute force the final guess even if I have most of the letters in the right place, because a pattern like -ARN- (in green) didn't bring the word "varna" to mind, for example.

Anyway, I'll have to now try both that four word opening and this newly found five word opening:

CHUMP DRIFT GLOBE SNAKY LATER

and see which is quicker: finding the missing information myself with an extra guess (and brute forcing plausible looking words), or solving the word directly from the minimally required information available.
