I don't know about Facebook, but at other companies without similar, each git branch gets deployed to its own subdomain, so manual testing etc. can happen prior to a merge. Dangerous changes are feature flagged or gated as much as possible to allow prod feedback after merge before enabling the changes for everyone.

Windows adoption is largely driven by corporations.

Most corporates align on a common policy of migration to every second major Windows release following this pattern:

Windows NT 4, Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10

With Windows 2000, Windows Vista, and Windows 11 skipped.

Which is a shame as these same corporates who have fleets of Apple Mac computers normally migrate annually about 6-9 months after each major annual MacOS release.

I hypothesis the reason may be that Windows upgrades tend to be major IT projects with historically large testing and remediation activities, whereas MacOS upgrades are small, introducing a small number of feature enhancements. New Mac computers also are only compatible with the latest MacOS release further encouraging rapid corporate adoption.
I see these kinds of stories from time to time.

I'm using Windows 11 since a few months, been using Windows 10 before, and Windows 7 before that.

The prompt in question comes up exactly once, when using Edge to download Chrome/Firefox. Then there is only one additional prompt when you set your default browser to Chrome/Firefox.

After that, Windows gives up and shuts up. Even if you update it, it won't bug you again, ever. At least I have never seen that prompt come up a second time since then.

I'm using Windows 11 pro though, it might be that the consumer versions (home, educational, whatever they're called) are different in that regard

Email has terrible withdrawal support, or I'm not aware of anything that handles it.

For example

I had address@email-hosting.com and after a few years I stopped using it

after some years I tried to sign into my account and realized that it doesn't exist

and to my shock I was able to create account with that address again!

Email in my opinion lacks of "broadcast account being closed" option or something like that
Interesting. Thanks.

I don't think I truly lost anything cognitively. I think I may have restored most of any loss that happened. But... I also forced my body to do a niacin flush and other things like that. Not recommending it. Just adding on what I was doing.

how much of this could be attributed to the world events surrounding Covid and basically correlation vs causation? There have been studies that the majority of people claiming "long covid" when tested have never actually been infected. Most of the symptoms described could be depression due to being locked in your home and your normal lifestyle disrupted for nearly 3 years now. Plus general anxiety from the negativity of the news in general creating constant doom and gloom

even this study is somewhat suspect to me, they injected spike protein directly into the mouse's brain rather than using a natural infection. There's only a single study saying Covid can cross the blood brain barrier, so I'm not sure this methodology translates to real world infection

I tried out the latest one and it was actually pretty crap. The telemetry settings were the same as regular windows (no off setting), the same crapware was installed like the Windows store, microsoft accounts, news applets etc...

I think the only thing it still has going for it is that it doesn't really change all the time. Oh and you can probably still install updates whenever you actually want to, because it's meant for production systems.

I encountered the QGSJET-II model which we used for modeling cosmic ray showers in the atmosphere. At one point I was asked about finding a way to parallelize the code, but the 17k+ line fortran file for the model, which I recall also included self modifying code, was too deep for an undergrad to penetrate.

Quote: "There was no test environment. If I made a change, I had to test it in "production"."

What year is this? 70's and mainframes? Because no way in hell you cannot, on large organization that had "Jeff in marketing", since 80's and PC's, duplicate the environment. Especially given this was used by almost everybody in the organization.

And once you're done duplicating the production, and create proper test environment, you can start actually refactoring and creating a beautiful app out of it instead of just "To this day I sometimes lie in bed wondering what could have caused this".

There is a pretty good evidence showing that riots are followed by increasing homicides: https://www.vox.com/22360290/black-lives-matter-protest-crim...

> Campbell’s research also indicates that these protests correlate with a 10 percent increase in murders in the areas that saw BLM protests. That means from 2014 to 2019, there were somewhere between 1,000 and 6,000 more homicides than would have been expected if places with protests were on the same trend as places that did not have protests.

https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/study-killings-surge...

> Homicide rates in 2020 topped 2019 levels during every month, but the increase was steepest after massive protests spurred by George Floyd's death in Minneapolis on May 25. The study found that in June through August, homicides rose 37% compared to 2019.

> The authors said homicides also spiked in the mid-2010s when protests followed the deaths of young Black people at the hands of police, including 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014.

There’s probably multiple causes, to be sure. But nothing kills the public appetite for police reform then riots followed by rising crime. Counter-intuitively, the best response to the riots—in terms of long-term police reform efforts—probably would have been rapid response by state national guards to end them quickly.
> So why do they only want Crimea?

They don't only want Crimea. They already had Crimea before this invasion. They are occupying large parts of Donetsk and Lugansk provinces and some other parts of Ukraine and they tried to siege the capital city and nearby provinces.
Your own data doesn’t say Covid deaths are 4% for that age bracket. The IFR for that bracket is orders of magnitude better.

That research says that 4% of all deaths came out of that age bracket…

Your own data says teachers aren’t the largest risk group.

My gaming PC, which isn't that old (Skylake / GTX 1080) isn't compatible with Windows 11. It still works fine, but given that it will inevitably be out of date with something that requires Windows 11, and the current impossibility of buying reasonably priced GPUs, I bought an XBox instead.

Microsoft gets my money anyway, I suppose, but all my real work is done on a Mac.

It's funny how Microsoft is basically just a gaming company for me, now.
I don’t know about the guy who was quoted, but I think that some people who are accustomed to normal jobs with tax withholding are actually unaware that they are obligated to pay taxes on cash income.

It's just chrome with the Google telemetry and services replaced by MS ones. Microsoft's sync for example.

To be honest I don't really understand why MS is so hell-bent on everyone using it. It's free and they don't even develop most of it.

I guess that telemetry is really a goldmine otherwise I don't see why they would pushing it so incessantly in Windows.

pg's new lisp, Bel, has something close to typed arguments:

(def add1 (x|int)
(+ x 1))

http://www.paulgraham.com/bel.html

I've been implementing it for a couple years now, though not seriously till the past couple months. There are some interesting (and overlooked) ideas in Bel.

Bel is sort of the limit case of generality. For example, you might expect the "type" above to be a separate kind of object, the way that types are separate kinds of things in TypeScript.

But in fact, it's simply a function that receives the argument and can throw an error. So for example, you can do something like:

(def positive (x)
(if (< x 0) (err 'negative) x))

(def sqrt (x|positive)
...)

I just wish he'd solved keyword arguments as thoroughly as every other kind of argument. There are hints that it was always in the back of his mind. Though it's true he never needed them, so that's probably why he never made them.
Most consider the composition to be a masterpiece.

Artists/conductors 'perform' 'interpretations' of works. Whether any interpretation is 'masterful' or 'virtuosic', etc., is up to the critical listener.

Three recordings by Horowitz may have been released ... which one is 'best'? Depends on the phase of the moon and your playback equipment!

The 'quality' of a particular performance may depend on the instrument provided to the artist. The year of recording can be very important (reflects techology used). The acoustics of the recording venue are also inherently part of the performance ... e.g. too much reverb.

No, you are talking about apartments. We are talking about units of housing built on property that various interested parties want. It could be used for apartments, but it could also be used by wealthy people to build single family homes or to build completely unaffordable condos. That's kind of the whole point here - the market demand is increasingly opposed to new affordable construction because so many people want to build low-density housing that they can make money on instead of higher-density housing that they can't. That then gets reflected in the onerous processes and paperwork that the author is talking about.

I think there are some (perhaps many) people who just don't have this level of passion in themselves.

When I was younger, I liked working in software. It was fun, and interesting, but did I "love" it? Honestly I don't think so.

Looking back on my time as a student, I can't think of any subject that I loved so much that that studying was something I wanted to do. It was always a chore, always something I did because it was a means to getting to a point in life where I didn't have to do it anymore.

Now, at halfway through my 50s, I would not be able to answer the standard interview question "what are you passionate about?" Nothing comes to mind. Everything I do day-to-day is either stuff that I need to do to pay the bills and support my family, or is in some way procrastinating on stuff that isn't yet so urgent that I have to do it.

I think people like Feynman are born with a burning passion for learning that most people just don't have.
The vaccine is a measured, limited, non-self-replicating dose of spike protein RNA which your cells fold into spike protein. Nearly all of it ends up in the lymph nodes near your armpit, where your immune system learns how to destroy it (and then does).

A COVID infection is a self-replicating, theoretically unlimited dose of spike protein RNA which your cells fold into spike protein. If you’re lucky, it’ll mostly affect your respiratory system. But if your immune system can’t respond quickly enough, it will spread and replicate all over your body.

> drawing a parallel with Nazi Germany is bizarre to say the least

Russia literally invaded Ukraine and mass murdered civilians in occupied cities.

Putin made a speech in which he said Ukraine is a "fake nation" and that "Ukrainian question must be solved".

There were lists of people to be eliminated prepared before the invasion.

Thousands of Ukrainians from occupied cities were moved to Russia against their will. It's not clear what happened to them.

Russians have pseudomilitary training for kids and population is wearing stylized Z symbols to show their support for the "operation".

Calling the "operation" a war is an offence for which people go to jail. So is criticizing the Russian army.

And you're saying it's "bizzare" to compare this to nazi Germany?

What do you want - a signed letter from Putin admitting it?

If Russia wasn't behaving like USSR in its totalitarian period I wouldn't be reminding people of these examples. But it is.

I think the problem in this case was that the entire file was the script that ran top to bottom. It’s not so much that the file was big, but that the function was huge and impossible to reason about.

> Just imagine a world where all the jobs stay the same but employers preferentially pick college grabs because they believe they're smarter and harder working.

If that hypothetical world existed the smarter and harder working people would be the only ones capable of graduating from college, and so the economic order would remain unchanged, leaving no economic benefit for anyone.

Furthermore, the smart and hard working people going to college would realize a net loss in their economic potential as, given that employee value did not rise, their income would not increase to offset the larger expense of going to college. Smart people aren't going to accept lesser economic potential without anything else in return. They are smart enough to know what they bring to the workplace.

And, so, if that hypothetical world existed the smart and hard working people would quickly stop going to college, pushing colleges to crush academic standards so that anyone could pass in order to maintain some kind of student base. But soon employers would catch on that college graduates are actually the dumb and lazy and any signal potential that existed for a brief moment in time would be lost.

When I was a kid, many decades ago, there were always rumours of what you describe being the reality at some point in history, but it hasn't been a thing since I've been an adult. If it was ever the reality it quickly succumbed to the unstable nature of such an arrangement. I strongly suspect it never happened, though. The whole idea has the markings of it being an advertising campaign.

Indeed, the data does show that the smart and hard working are more likely to have a higher income within the same cohort over those who aren't as smart or hard working. Colleges also try to attract the same kind of person. This develops an undeniable correlation. But the smart and hard working would still have the higher incomes even if college magically disappeared, just as they did before college was a thing. It is not a causal relationship.

It's a bit of paranoia. This isn't about mRNA vaccines. This is about massive viral load and protein production for days due to infection and direct infection of the brain tissues by sars-cov-2. "neurotoxic effects in COVID-19 patients." to quote them.

Closig schools has been the core of the US pandemic influenza control strategy since the second Bush administration. There were detailed simulations showing that shutting schools is the only single intervention that can significantly affect R: schools are the best place for spreading influenza due to the very small spacing between seats in classrooms, the number of students who pack into schoolbusses daily, etc. (However, the studies were done before masking everyone was a possibility.)
