Now, all of this first requires that a crime was committed - and that’s not even clear. If the collection happened on the basis of a law, doing the collection would not be a crime. The article shows no proof that the Bundeswehr mishandled the data.
It is unethical to attribute words to someone that they did not use, especially when presented as a quote. Misuse of technology can have tragic consequences, and it is important to remain factual in our statements in order to accurately convey the gravity of such situations. Every life lost due to the misuse of technology is deeply reprehensible, and it is crucial that we strive for honesty and accuracy in our discourse, and this means both sides of the discussion. You and me.
You naughtily cut my quote and removed “supported by the competent health organizations”. I added that back for you.

Allow me to expand on that: the parents which didn’t vaccinate their children (<12) are the ones who are in agreement with “the science” and they are the majority. I’ve provided numbers for Germany from the appropriate health organizations.

The parents that vaccinated their healthy kids are the ones that decided based on feelings or were influenced and manipulated by vaccine activists.

The risk to society must be handled by the society, not kids. Adults are welcome to wear masks or get the vaccine themselves. Or they can choose to die free, choking on their own mucus like a boss.

The risk of the disease is obviously not that great to kids (<12) according to the vaccine commission. Almost looks like adults are trying to force kids into a treatment so that said adults benefit.

I'm starting to wonder if this is just a frontend issue... Maybe this UI is serving us the inverse numbers.
The bbank I worked for did the same.

I think most would have done Netware worked first then eventually MS as Windows took over
The problem with every fake vim plugin is that the underlying editor does not implement tabs the way vim does.

Combine that with the fact that all the UI elements are not vim-ified. In vim, since everything is a pane and a buffer, you just think "I want to select the panel to the left". Regardless of if it's a plugin view or a file or whatever.

In vim emulator's, that's never the case. It's really not the same, but better than nothing. The vscode plugin and the IntelliJ one are both pretty good compared to previous ones that I tried. But the IDEs are just incompatible with the vim ideology, in my opinion.
I'm in the same position with the same question.

Personally, I'm planning to learn about the internal implementation of databas(es), starting with the book Designing Data Intensive Applications.
This is so that I learn about the current ways data is stored
Ha, speak of the devil :)

To be clear, "then gave up" means I ended up just running the install script. Thanks for your work on Bun! Hoping to use it for a speedy websocket server some time soon.
With extensive use of plugins and configuration (especially LSP servers) you can get very close to an IDE experience, and many people including me use it to navigate commercial codebases just fine.

It depends a bit on what language you use, but people who claim (neo)vim is a bad IDE are IMO wrong.
>If Google isn’t making any money from you on Gmail

Isn't Gmail the core pillar of Google's ad network? Whoever is logged into Gmail tells Google who is using an IP address.
Facebook is the other ad network because they can also link requests to ids.

Facebook can monetize Instagram because they can sell targeted ads. Likewise, Google can monetize Youtube. If ads can be sold without those ids, Instagram and Youtube could have grown on their won.

Is this an emperor's clothing situation and nobody talks about this or do I have a complete misunderstanding of ad technology?
> if we assume everyone is equal then there shouldn't be

Incorrect assumption. Everyone is obviously not equal.

For example: 2% of people like tech enough to work there, 98% do not. These two groups are obviously not equal.

> but one group is systemically discouraged from taking on tech even if they want to

What evidence do you have for this "systematic discouragement"? Of the 98% of people who do not go into tech? How so?
I think that arch is the best and I've used it for low interactivity projects where the frontend is almost all display. Haven't tried it for complicated SPAs with lots of DOM interaction though.

Do you have any such experience? How do you architecture your models, events, processing, updating, etc? Do you have UI-less component-like pieces of code that you can compose? Or a fat root state manager that does everything?

Not sure if you work on any public repos, would love to have a look if you do for inspiration :)
The only issue with iterative constraint solvers is the 'long chain' problem, where it's not possible to solve for longer stiff chains of constraints. Direct solvers can do it, but not with reasonable performance/memory usage.

I've been using vim forever. I'm fluent in editing files. But what never clicked for me is working with several buffers, making lookups across files, using ctags/lsp and so on.

The right setting for me is Vim within an IDE (nowadays VSCode) but I've found it too complicated to try to turn it into an IDE. I find it appealing to be able to do all your work within tmux/vim, and I know a lot of great coders work that way but it's been too much hassle for me.

I also wonder if Vim is a productivity gain at all. I like to be able to navigate/edit a file without taking off my hands from the home row, and also quickly edit a file when I'm in the terminal. But not sure it really makes that much of a difference when you know your VSCode/MacOS shortcuts, and I suppose that with proper configuration, you can also edit file remotely with VSCode and restrict the need for edition within a terminal.
San Francisco's budget for homelessness is over 500 million per year. If that isn't enough money to address the problem in one city we clearly need radically different solutions.
I sometimes have abstract dreams with an irregular surface that slowly morphs into different shapes. It goes from being smooth and flat, to irregular shapes (that I find disgusting) and back into fractals or regular geometric shapes (that I find pleasant). The change from nice to ugly shape is evoking very strong disgust.

I think there is something to the idea that low Kolmogorov complexity is pretty.

I've also had a weird esthetic experience commuting by a bus once - it was a sunny winter day and along the road for dozens of kilometers there were power lines with unusually thick wires. There was a lot of contrast between white snow and black wires and they went up and down in a regular but slowly changing pattern that was very beautiful in the moment, but it's very hard to explain after the fact :) I was amazed by it despite commuting that same route 100s of times before and after that and never noticing it or caring about it.
Skimming a couple of the sources mentioned in the article and the linked german government Q&A it seems they scanned a) collaborators and b) "potentially dangerous" afghan citizens.

So we can reasonably assume that biometric data of those two population groups was leaked by left behind devices. Not the entire population, but the two most sensitive groups. Sounds pretty bad imo.

> it always gladdens my heart to see a female roadworker

Sure, but a female coalminer?
Yes, yes, standard "not all".

However I think the last sentence isn't as true as you make it out to be. I remember seeing statistic couple years back about this very subject and in that data woman had to be in the top 10% of "women who prefer working with things to people" to be as likely to work with things than "men who prefer to work with things to people" and it was pretty much same vice-versa.
co-evolution?
what do people think would have been the proper approach here

Tell us the truth. "N95s should be reserved for medical personnel but surgical masks provide nominal protection for yourself and significant protection for others you might infect."

People realizing the CDC can and will lie to them has already been and will be far into the future responsible for countless deaths. Not only that, it makes us question what else the CDC has just decided is worth lying to us about. Do they manipulate statistics to "save people"? Do they falsify treatment data? If they'll lie to us about one thing they'll lie to us about another. Every single effort they make for the next decade or more is irreversibly tainted.
I've been using Protonmail with 3 custom domains for a few years, but I'm quite upset by the state of their bridge. They struggled a lot with IMAP compatibility, they only test it on Thunderbird, Outlook and Apple Mail before releasing it, and you can't connect to the bridge from another machine (well, you can technically set up an SSH tunnel or use socat to forward the localhost ports, but that's a hack that is not officially supported nor advised).

I'm now considering switching to Fastmail or Tutanota.

Or even run my own mail server. I used to do that until a couple of years ago, but I eventually got frustrated by all the dumb rules that Google and Microsoft (but mostly Microsoft) set in place to discourage people from running their own servers.

However, given the amount of time that I've already spent to debug the Proton bridge and open PRs to fix their sh*t, I must acknowledge that running my own Postfix server and spending a couple of hours to set up the right DNS records would have probably saved me a lot of time (and money).
Yes it takes quite a lot of effort to get there. Vim motions take weeks to become your second nature, and then you'll probably spend 20-50hours finding plugins and configuring Neovim until you reach the Vimvarna. That's a ton of effort, but like I explained in the other post, I found it being both fun and making me a better programmer as an unintended side effect.

Breakages are rare though especially if you use a plugin manager that shows you commits from your current versions of plugins (e.g. lazy.nvim [1]) so that you can see if you need to update anything.

[1] An example of lazy.nvim plugin update experience: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/292349/208301737-6...
If this is after taxes then the numbers are indeed way different. I effectively pay 55% taxes on my income (some is nicely hidden behind an employers tax so that the population doesn't see how much they're actually paying). The employers tax isn't part of your income, but it's part of what companies pay for your time.

>countries that most people would consider very sexist, like the UK and Spain.

For what it's worth -- I've visited both those countries, and neither struck me as particularly sexist. I just checked a couple gender inequality indices, and it seems like they both do OK globally speaking. E.g. the UN ranks them both as more gender-equal than the US: https://hdr.undp.org/data-center/thematic-composite-indices/... (And the US is ranked much more gender-equal than the world as a whole)
The landing page doesn't have a concrete enough example so I couldn't figure out what it is for. It doesn't seem to be a structured way of using GPT-3.

If your ideological principles require the marginalisation of other human beings on the basis of their personal health decisions, you might be manifesting a totalitarian-authoritarian approach to life that is highly dangerous - and more to the point, extremely contagious.

i have gone through something similar. love programming but have trouble with the regular 9-5 office job.

things that made it better mainly was working in a team, pair programming, working for multiple customers at once (with regular visits to each customers office, so i'd switch focus and people to interact with frequently), do freelance, work from home, travel as a digital nomad.

also having a family helps, as that provides social interaction that i can't find on my own.

essentially i have been and still am searching for the ideal work/life balance. one key thing was to figure out what kind of activities allow me to relax and gain energy, and find a way to integrate those into my life.
I would argue that Damore when writing his memo acted out his autism. A neurotypical person would probably understand that within the culture in Google at the time, such a memo would be seen as sacriligeus. An autist is more likely to just say what they believe to be true, with no such filter.

Essentially, it was a direct assault at some of the fundamentals of an entire belief system.

Now let's imagine for a moment that he were completely accurate on the science. If, so, and if his memo were to be taken seriously, it would invalidate the motivation for the DEI narrative, with the following implications:

- Some senior roles would no longer be needed

- People who had been hired or promoted to fulfill DEI goals might be in their position not based on merit, but rather a false belief

- The belief systems of a significant percentage of the staff would be shattered, causing very painful cognitive dissonance, as well as anger (quite possibly enough to make them want to punch him)

All-in-all this would be a disaster especially if he happened to be right. If so, the only way to avoid the negative effects listed above, would be to discredit him and get rid of him.

Of course, if he happened to be mosly wrong on the science, he might still be treated the same way, but I believe, with slightly less passion.

Greta Thunberg is another autist making claims that are seen as radical:

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/06/neurodiver...

Basically, she's claiming that we have until 2028 to prevent a climate catastrophe:

https://www.fastcompany.com/90453825/greta-thunberg-we-have-...

Now, let's again pretend that she's 100% correct. That starting in 2028 we will start to see chain reactions that make much of the planet unlivable within her lifetime.

If she's right, and we admit it, we will all be forced to completely reorganize society. Gasoline fueled cars may have to be banned, and air travel almost completly disbanded. And we should all become vegeterians, and we would need to radically reduce our consumption of all sorts of both industrial and digital products. Also, any housing with high per capita heating requirements might have to be torn down, and people forced to move into much smaller units.

Also, most middle aged or older person would have to accept that they were the ones nearly destroying Earth, until people like Greta came along as saviors. A lot of shame would be in order.

Now especially if this were all 100% accurate, a lot of people would become extremely angry at her, and might want to do a lot more than simply punshing her.

Clearly, her message is not taken very seriously. Politicians are paying lip service to her, but no state is seriously attempting to take the kind of radical action she is demanding. Instead she's seen by many as something of a heroine or perhaps a mascot.

And if anyone actually wants to do something violent against her, THEY are the problem, not her.

As it should be.

But why is Damore treated like the Devil, while Greta was invited to speak in front of the UN?
> my point is that there is a disparity and if we assume everyone is equal then there shouldn't be.

Yes but why do you assume that? What if your assumption is wrong, as the above study shows? Then the disparity would be explained simply by the natural proclivities of different groups of people.

> one group is systemically discouraged from taking on tech even if they want to

Again this in another article of faith.

Notice how feminists always use the passive voice: women are "discouraged", not "these specific people are conspiring to discourage women for this specific reason".

It's a motte-and-bailey trick to prevent anyone being able to call out their nonsense claims.

Why does anyone want to discourage women from going into tech? My own daughter shows some interest in these things. Perhaps she will enter the field - or perhaps she'd prefer something else. I don't mind. She should do whatever would make her happy.

It just turns out that women on average are slightly more likely to choose something else than man are.

As charging stations become plentiful & convenient (read: very fast) battery size will naturally decrease - Large range is a necessary hurdle for market adoption. Plug-in hybrids are great for this, but don't encourage recharge station development the same way.

Also having a large battery pack comes with other benefits even if the whole capacity isn't used. Fewer complete charge cycles resulting in longer pack life, and faster charging (since fully charging a battery is slower than a partial charge) are just two examples.

The core features of KCL are its modeling and constraint capabilities, and the basic functions of KCL revolve around the two core features. In addition, KCL follows the user-centric configuration concept to design its basic functions, which can be understood from two aspects:

Domain model-centric configuration view: With the rich features of KCL language and KCL OpenAPI tools, we can directly integrate a wide range of well-designed models in the community into KCL (such as the K8s resource model). We can also design and implement our own KCL models or libraries according to different scenarios, forming a complete set of domain models for other configuration end users to use.

End user-centric configuration view: With KCL's code encapsulation, abstraction and reuse capabilities, the model architecture can be further abstracted and simplified (for example, the K8s resource model is abstracted into an application-centered server model) to minimize the end user configuration input*, simplify the user's configuration interface, and facilitate manual or automatic API modification.

No matter what configuration view is centered on, for configuration code, there are requirements for configuration data constraints, such as type constraints, required/optional constraints on configuration attributes, range constraints, and immutability constraints. This is also one of the core issues KCL is committed to solving.
It doesn't. My point is that finding people, healthy food, safe places and so on pleasant and beautiful benefits us. We use things like symmetry and color to decide if those things are beautiful. Flowers, rainbows etc just happen to have symmetry, color, simplicity, etc too so they get considered beautiful, almost by accident if you know what I mean. I believe in biology that concept is called a spandrel after the architectural term https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spandrel_(biology)

If all you do is download the release binary, anything could compromise you. If you read the source, an inauthentic release binary could compromise you. If you read the source and compile it, a compromised compiler could compromise you. If you read the compiler source, bootstrap compiling it from hardware code (reading all the source along the way), read the app source, and finally compile it using your compiled compiler, then compromised hardware could compromise you.

Every step along the way you increase the severity of the statement "If I'm fucked, then so is everyone using X". You stop when the set of people using X grows so large than you are sufficiently worthless in comparison.
