Vaccine mandates would probably be the most effective strategy. This would reduce the death toll and also otherwise severe disease (and also long covid from the data we are seeing) by a factor of 10. At that point, we might as well drop all other measures and live with 10k dead people from this per year. Currently, it's still at an unacceptable level for society, even if one is only considering the economic impact and doesn't care about human suffering.

A project manager inadvertently laid this out for me when I was new in my career; he didn't mean to put it like this, but this is what came out. (Note that I'm a software developer, and at the time the software I wrote was not "shelfware", but rather installed into big enterprises' data centers. Pre cloud)

NO ONE wants software done right the first time. Because, when you slam the happy paths out there for the customer as fast as you can:

* Sales wins because they can claim "Feature X" being sold and get their commission

* The customer wins because they get to complain about x or y being bad, incomplete, or whatever they want to whinge about and feel like they're part of the solution

* Customer Support/Sales Engineering/etc wins because they get to appear to be "responsive" to the customer by quickly reorganizing ongoing work to take care of the "urgent need"

* The Project Manager wins (2x!) because they can now a) do the same "response" dance for the C-levels, and b) berate the software development staff and show their authority and working under pressure skills

* Software Development wins because they can now work on the secondary features, fixes, "skunk works" tech debt, etc. since this is now more important.
Sure. And if you want to analyze those systems, I would hope you would also not try to pretend that that othering played no part in those systems either. I'm not the one trying to pull them apart like string cheese.
The documentation you linked to clearly states that they recommend 4GB of memory and more for larger databases. While it CAN run on 1GB of memory, it is also therefore NOT recommended. You chose to go the route of the unrecommended.

It seems to be specifically talking on the phone. Having a face-to-face, in-person conversation with another adult triggers a similar but more mild response. Just looking at a phone or typing doesn't trigger it, maybe because they've gotten used to that as you said, or maybe because it's easier to interleave that with giving them attention.

There are definitely pros and cons to having the kids bunched together. Mine are all under the age of 7, and I can still take them all to the playground, or give them a box of sidewalk chalk, and they'll all play happily together. So friends don't have to be the same age, but this doesn't work with a much bigger age gap. I don't know how parents properly balance big kid vs. little kid activities and needs. But with a bigger age gap, the older ones would be somewhat independent and potentially even helpful while you're struggling to care for the younger ones.

I do feel like I'm consistently failing to give my wife and kids the attention they deserve, let alone my old and new friends. So yeah, when someone else wants my time, I usually think that I should probably give that time to my family instead.

Russia isn't going to win the hearts and minds here, that battle is already lost. I'm sure killing civilians isn't what soldiers want to do, so they probably aren't doing it purposely but from Putin's POV being as generally destructive as possible, including on the civilian population, is a way to get Ukrainian leaders to agree to whatever ends the war ASAP. Since it doesn't look like military victory and occupation is that feasible now for Russia, being as brutal as possible is an alternative way to get favorable terms.

I found it strange in a confusing/amusing manner, like there is zero politics or patriotism involved in any direction, it was just clearly a for-profit capitalistic cash grab at the cheapest possible price point.
Then we're back to having to upgrade an outlet in my house and wire it into the panel, which would cost $400 at least. And the only thing I'm getting for that price is more wattage, but not finer control over the temperature, so I'll stick to my current setup.
I've looked into stuff like this and often it turns out the reason for a lack of [obvious solution] is:

1: Essential libraries fail

2: Documentation missing needed details

3: hostility to inquiry about problems from community

And on. The Linux community is so much better than it was when I first tried it, but the old guard (and new guard that likes gatekeeping) is still there causing a ruckus and getting in the way of people trying to advance Linux.

Alibaba Cloud? I actually would’ve expected better from them! Never had to report anything myself, seeing how I’m probably blocking them.

The commenter you’re responding to is specifically referring to “.NET Core” which has nothing to do with IIS or “.NET framework”, the latter are components of The older Windows Server stack whereas the former is a genuinely cross-platform development stack.

Unfortunately, the commenters who actually read the docs and understand the tech are being buried in preference of people who are either deliberately trying to ignore the official documentation (literally just ‘dotnet publish’ and run the exe ‘./myApp’), or are just that green in using a compiled language that isn’t handled by a nice GUI tool in their cloud vendor of choice.

ZFS can have both features enabled at once.

Though there is no clean way to disable either. Compression can be removed from files by rewriting them, but removing deduplication requires copying over all data to a fresh pool.
Every time I try this I go thru standard stages:

1. Ugh I want to run docker natively, Ubuntu looks good, I’ll do that
2. Install latest Ubuntu. It’s great! Love the shell. Hardware works. I can run Windows in Virtual Box for odd apps.
3. Why is my battery life so bad? Why won’t Bluetooth stay connected?
4. I am full Linux. I am living the creed!
5. I am so tired of constantly fixing something. Why is Spotify rendering weird. Why doesn’t mouse scroll work in Firefox.
6. I don’t have time for this. Back to Windows.

I think now that WSL has matured, it’s just hard to justify going back. Everything works and I get real Linux.

> The flip side of community ownership is more politics, more complexity, bureaucratic decisionmaking, and slower evolution.

This of course may be true for some communities, but certainly not the case for L7 proxies. In fact, at the time, the opposite was true: NGINX & HAProxy were content in slowly supporting their (captive) customer bases, with little incentive to innovate. This is why Lyft went off to build Envoy Proxy. At GA, it supported features such as HTTP/2, native observability, hitless reloads — none of which were easy / possible to do in NGINX or HAProxy at the time.

> Connection/service proxies are a dime a dozen. I suspect you could have picked nginx, haproxy, or the Linkerd proxy and been just as well off.

Linkerd proxy didn’t exist then (there was an early version of it, written in Scala IIRC; the Rust version didn’t come along to quite some time later).

I agree that there are many options for service proxies. I’ve found, though, that the Envoy community has been pushing innovation in the space quite aggressively.

He messed up TPP.

Trump has no moral compass, sees everything in terms of personal power dynamics and that's it. He can't fathom appeals to bigger ideas or issues, or even strategic concerns.

He deals with countries, as though they are run by other, like-minded real-estate magnates who just want to make a bunch of money and wherein personal relations can be everything.

He doesn't understand that his words are not 'his words' rather, they are the words of the USA.

The obvious example is TPP. TPP was a way to get everyone on the table in Asia except China to have some kind of coordinated leverage.

He killed it.

His instinct about leverage is actually not that far off: USA has a lot more leverage against any single nation. But is strategic instinct is more than lacking, it's stupid. He just can't understand that the US isn't in a dominant position vis-a-vis China, but that 'most of the Pacific' actually is, to the extent they can work together.

Also, Trump admires 'strong men', wants to get along with them, appease them, as there always deals in the works that could come from it.

Trump's kids were raking in real-estate investments while he was president, because he's powerful, Chinese are attracted to that - and - they want to curry favour. Trump is all about selling his brand irrespective of whether it's his office or not to sell. 'Trump White House Steak Knives'.

Trump is pretty good at being 'crazy like a fox' and escalating in anger which actually has some use in foreign policy, but that instinct can be just as much a drawback.

TPP was going to be a really good deal. He dumped it for stupid reasons.

Also, I don't doubt for a second that someone could convince him to throw Taiwan under the bus: "I talked to Xi. He's very, very smart man. Taiwan, you know, it's in China. They even call it China! Did you know that? I just found that out - he told me that. So I think that they need to work that out over there, you know. Xi is a wise man, wise man. We get along great, just great. We're going to do a lot of business together. Big business".
That's not a very good look by Google.

Its hard to know what people mean when they say OOP anymore.

Im just watching now and he advocating for your code to be "procedural" rather than "object-oriented".

And when he says "procedural", he doesnt specificlly mean "functional programming". So, when he says "imperative procedural programming" he means that you have no explicit association between your datatypes and your functions/behavours.

And just to be clear they are not saying its a problem to see an object in your code!! Its the traditional OOO (Object Oriented Objects) that have state and method calls/behaviours.

And thats pretty much the way I code in C#. My data objects are just that. Simple data! And I have other objects that are a collection of functions that take in POD (Plain Old Data Types) objects or return PODs.

He goes on to explain how encapsulation is the problem. Thats where you have an object that holds state/information hidden behind a public interface
as well as methods to mutate the state. And when you call that method, it might call through to many other methods on other classes. And if thats the case,
it means the object your calling the method on has references to those other classes it depends on. Which means those dependencies/objects
must be provided to it via construction.

I have not watched the whole video but I tend to agree with what he is advocating.
Dammit I knew this would happen after it hit the top of HN. RIP Vanced, you were the best Youtube experience bar none.
Arbitrage is never a permanent opportunity.
Has anyone analyzed the nuclear pulse propulsion sail mentioned in the Dark Forest trilogy? The 1950's proposal was to carry nuclear explosives on a manned rocket and throw them out the back one by one. Cixin Liu's variation, for a lightweight, one-way probe, would preposition thousands of nukes throughout the solar system, and launch a thin radiation sail on a trajectory that flies through each detonation in sequence.

I assume there's some fatal flaw to this, but it takes more domain knowledge to identify it than I'm familiar with.
Google is the main example, their monorepo setup works and scales really well. It is basically a remote filesystem directory that automatically checks out the files you need to build your project and not other files.
That of course depends on how you show it on the screen. You can of course show those part of the sensor that didn’t register anything (less than 40) as grey, and everything than saturated the sensor as a bit lighter grey. But people don’t tend to like the look of those pictures very much, and they definitely don’t look more natural than the conventional processing.

The main limitation isn’t the file format. The main limitation is the sensor. On the lower end, it is noise in different forms that overwhelm the very weak signal from dark areas. On the higher end, the sensors get saturated, that is, the semi-conductor bucket for the charges that is released by the photons get full.

And then the experience of the picture is of course limited by the medium that is used to display it. Even the best screens can’t show even a small fraction of the contrast that the eye experiences outdoors on a sunny day. And don’t mention printed media.
Your rhetoric is meaningless. Plenty of people have died for honor that would answer in the affirmative if not dead. That you have a blindspot to that sort of self sacrifice means nothing on behalf of the people fighting for Ukraine.

Having worked in companies with large monorepos and those without, I would never advise implementing one.

The complexity as a function of repo size grows at something greater than linear rate. Code becomes tightly intertwined and the dependency graph becomes unwieldy, making refactoring a difficult proposition.

Eventually, the codebase always grows to a size that makes it impractical to replicate on each developers' machine, so you start having to implement workarounds, and you realize that just keeping basic build operations working requires a substantial team to support. For the big players, they can eat the cost no problem, but it's still not money well spent and certainly not advisable for orgs without that level of resourcing.

Just recently my shaver battery got to the point it lasts ~2 seconds on "full charge" and it is not replaceable. The charging adapter does not provide enough power to make it run. So I am forced to trash a perfectly working shaver just due to old battery. And this is how majority of battery-powered shavers work. My next shaver is corded.
That makes sense. Polling in the early 90's showed half the country was against black/white interracial marriages, but no one had a problem with a black secretary/typist (which did not disrupt the "social hierarchy" in people's minds)
Because voters naturally want what is impossible. The answer is educate voters, but voters label efforts to educate them about such realities as rank partisanship and continue to vote for the same people who promise them high speed rail will be completed in 3 more years, ad infinitum. IMO of course.
I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, especially at large companies, but it is much less common at smaller companies and startups in my experience, where I’ve consistently had colleagues from underrepresented populations who were among the smartest people I’ve ever worked with.

What I am doing is arguing against the idea that it’s the way things have to be or the way they always are, and I’m particularly arguing assuming that any given person was hired for that reason.

Assuming your colleague must be less talented than you because of some hypothetical hiring process that you in all likelihood aren’t even privy to is exactly the kind of ego-assuaging, prejudicial arrogance people in our field are so prone to.

Such assumptions also only make the field more hostile for everyone who’s not of the typical profile, because they have to fight constantly to prove that they belong in a way that Jimmy the drinking bud of the hiring manager for some reason doesn’t.

People get hired for the wrong reasons all the time. I don’t think “diversity quota hire” is meaningfully more or less common than hiring for nepotism, or subconscious biases about looks or height, or just because someone is a smooth talker. Focusing on this one thing both hurts the industry and distracts from what we should really be doing, which is assuming our colleagues are just as smart and talented as we are and working from there. If someone is a bad hire, they’re a bad hire. It happens all the time, and we can deal with it on that individual level rather than letting our assumptions color the entire group.

(Generalized “you” throughout, not saying anything about you personally.)
1996 was the year for Linux on the desktop. FVWM, then Windomaker, then Sawmill/Sawfish, now Xmonad. Never looked back. From working at a publisher to doing development work at several companies to freelancing as hacker for hire to giving my 80+ mother a safe desktop to do administration and finances on while I live some 1300 km to the north of her, Linux rules the roost.

Why? Because it works. No nasty surprises, no forced upgrades, no nonsense.

For anyone else in the "thinking about it" to "preparing for it" stage of the switch, I've been getting myself ready by switching to cross-platform software one piece at a time while still daily driving a Windows machine.

In past failed attempts to switch it just was too jarring for everything to be different all at once. But now that I've already replaced all the Windows exclusive software in my life, I expect that next time I try full-timing on Linux again it will feel more like visiting the next town over than it will visiting a foreign country.
