> The chances of myocarditis are still much higher with actual Covid than with the vaccine.

Nope. That is only true if you were hospitalized for a severe case of Covid. There is virtually no myocariditis for short covid episodes where you recover quickly.
Unrelated to the main article, but I do find it quite upsetting that the Liberal Democrats have been absolutely crucified by both the Conservative party and the Media.

I can't go very far in a discussion about the liberal democrats without hearing that they didn't follow through on a manifesto pledge.

Which is wild because in a minority government, where you're given the option of electoral reform or sticking to another manifesto pledge; you have to pick one.

You're a minority government! You can't do terribly much.

Then the most recent leader of the lib dems being crucified publicly for being religious in some manner, (tbf: he said "I think Homosexuality is a sin but I support equal rights; and everyone should live free and with dignity")

Yet, the Conservatives do much worse and face no indigence in votes.

It's baffling.

FD: I'm not terribly supportive of any particular political party, but Liberal Democrats is one of the "more supported" ones of mine, along with SNP and Greens.

My main quarrel was hypocrisy.
My apologies dang, I'll try to keep a lid on it more. Thanks for the warning.
Say no and find a better job if your manager doesn't like it.
And if we're talking years, B probably involves yourself too as you are likely to forget what the least memorable even "cute" names are associated with.
Haha, I am not picking sides but I recently saw a suggestion to move a service's DNS records from Cloud DNS to Cloud DNS. One was GCP and the other some smaller provider.

For the big cloud providers, I've definitely seen people struggle with the names. Is it Google Compute Engine or Google Cloud Engine? Which one is which of Google Cloud Run and Google Compute Engine? Amazon Route 53? Route 57? 35?

I guess the bigger the service the more creative name it should have?
I believe you're saying such because I don't have the "creds" to claim it. The people with creds feel the same way. If Morgan Stanley feels a bigger downturn is looming then they more than likely are putting their money where their mouth is.

What annoys me is when internal code names are used all over the place throughout the code base. Sure it might make it easier for those steeped in years of company culture to navigate the code, and provide a slightly more playful company culture, but it makes it an absolute nightmare for a beginner to find things.

Furthermore, I often see companies use trademarked words for internal code names, which could lead to problems if their usage is leaked outside the company. I can’t remember what it was but I recall reading that such use of trademarks for internal code names led to legal issues for a company.
I've flipped between these two positions (descriptive and... not descriptive) names.

I settled on nondescript and just mash two random words together when making a new project.

~90% of my actual work projects are less than 10 files of source code anyway (not counting dependencies, readme, make file, requirements.txt, etc). The vast majority are one file Python or Bash scripts.
It's a very good question. But the argument isn't against machines; it's in favor of excellent airmanship. The slippery slope is when good machines appear to make good craftsmanship redundant. They don't.
What are the practical uses for this data specifically? I mean some examples, as I have completely no idea.
Notice the IF in the start of my sentence.
The same way you deal with other processes you don't like - don't. Same goes for leetcode, work trials, etc.

It is a kind of cultural filter. If you think doing it would make you better at your job, then use it as motivation to do it. Otherwise, there's plenty of other places to work. It will likely get worse once you join; sometimes things like "knowledge sharing" becomes part of the performance review.
I got used to amber monitors in the early 90s to this day my default Bash terminal mimics the amber on black look. I love it.
I looked into normalized deaths per capita a while back, sometime late/post pandemic. What was oddly fascinating for me to see is the figures in the early 90s were actually a tad worse than during the pandemic. But progressively since the 90s the death rates have been consistently improving, bar covid.

Of course this data reflects the actual lockdowns experienced and not any what-if of the impact of death rates if we continued covid without lockdown.

A company I have visited had, for some obscure reason, decided that teams should have their own fun/memorable names. Almost 2 years after implementation, every new hire's first comment was: "it's impossible to navigate the org with those names, we have no idea of what each team is doing".

I could live with funny+descriptive, but for all that is good, funny only just does not work.
And who doesn't eat trash food like McDonalds. I just had McDonalds, what a coincidence.
"I guess people such as yourself always find a way to justify such things"

What do you mean you people?
Yes, even in games this is the case. Market leadership in gaming followed market investment. Japan had a large manufacturing presence in games from early on which propelled the corresponding software industry. And the US was pioneering in funding pure software businesses - gaming became part of Silicon Valley's VC pool in the 80's. In other countries, they faced difficulty raising the capital needed to grow as productions got bigger in the 1990's, and mostly got absorbed by US investment, either through acquisition or talent poaching. Ubi was a rare exception to this trend.

I'm pretty sure a story similar to this was playing out throughout the software world.

I would say 28% is not that bad. Of course ideally it should be 0%.

But thinking about normal distribution of skills I can imagine 20 to 30% dentists not being that competent should be well normal.
Is there something in market-making technology (or otherwise) that sets them apart from any other modern exchange? Could they pivot into trading pork bellies (or tokens thereof)?
And to be clear if you have an overfunded health system then you are providing good medical treatment to your population in a timely manner. You're just spending more money doing it than you might otherwise do so.

So someone with ethics might argue that if you are in an uncertain area between over and underfunding then it will kill fewer people to err on overfunding.
> continuing my ongoing work as a principal engineer, without marketing externally

Then you have misunderstood the responsibilities of a principal engineer.

While I don't think there is any need to have social media accounts, publishing engineering articles is a perfectly reasonable ask as part of your work responsibilities.

If you think the blogs are little more than spam, then be the one writing better articles instead of complaining.
My guess is that it's used to attack in two directions:

1. Control on top of the Open Source OS.
2. Hollowing out the OS so that OEMs/carriers have reduced controls over updates/lifecycles, etc.

1 is bad, 2 is arguably good.
I looked at the tests. There is nothing significant going on when creating response in http server for example. Just spit "hello world". So it appears to be a test of C++ uWebSockets and uSockets libraries vs for example native Go implementation. Do something serious in request handler using Python and then see what happens.
I don't usually find myself needing a null element in Lisp, so there's no need to handle any. (Ditto Java, but I don't write much Java to be fair.)
I don't want to link any specific dentist, but if you google "dental implant cost spain" you will find a few for even cheaper. Skilled labor, like construction is cheap here because we don't have a shortage of workers. For example, I was quoted 1150/square meters to build a brand new custom house.
You're leaping to a conclusion that this is a problem with individuals' dietary choices while missing that the NHS has to do more with less year on year. Importantly while the former may be an issue, it is near-impossible to fix - encouraging healthy eating has been a priority for decades. Whereas addressing the latter should be very doable if the major parties agreed that adequately funding the NHS (and other social services) was a priority - sadly both seem to believe that a public-private partnership and more austerity is the way forward :-/
I largely just don’t.

My employer regularly asks us to share/like/discuss company content on social media.

I just don’t have accounts, so don’t participate. To be honest even if I did I still would not.

I was only asked about this once and I just said I didn’t do social media in general and they were happy with that answer.
I could swear the owner claimed he had gambled the cash but maybe I'm wrong.
Hmm, how about naive VCs?
Hard to be sure, but I would suspect very probably, although perhaps not for that reason.

Long covid is real, and statistically significant. Heart and blood stream involvement issues with covid have also been apparent from the start. Put that together and any uptick in heart attacks, strokes, etc. might well be longer term consequences of Covid, and put that together with overloaded health systems, and not just in the UK.

It's not just a flu.

Alternatively, you could let people pay whatever they want for the product. That would also give you a very accurate and objective measure of how people value the product.

What? You don't think the two measures would converge? In either case, the one with more market power would use that to improve their side of the bargain? Who'd've thunk...
This article is absolutely fantastic, and a must-read!

I disagree with the premise "every generation has a level of tech they're comfortable with and anything new becomes foreign".

To be honest, I'm not even sure I think the safety-tradeoff of power-windows is worth the convenience of "pushing the button" instead of "turning the crank", and I hate touchscrees in cars, they're a symbol of poor, cheap and thoughtless design.

The "new" tech we're seeing, with very few exceptions, is not new, it's not more advanced, it's not cooler or faster or better.. It's a step backwards, from ignorance and the realization that as more users come, the average user-skill lowers, and so we dumb down everything.. We hide everything behind icons with stupid names and make sure that you have to make an effort AND know the secret sequences, to open up the "super user" tools.

Modern software is a joke, not because it's "so advanced" but because it's built on layer upon layer of hipster-won't-deal-with-reality technology stacks, by people who think "don't optimize too early" means "never even think about optimizing before it's provably too late" and to whom it sounds entirely reasonable that a desktop environment should use more than 100 Megabytes of memory.

We need to stop dumbing things down, and show the kind of polite mindful behaviours that the older generation showed, making SURE that _YOU_ the user was in charge, that new users could probably learn to figure it out, and that power-users never had to click too much to get at the stuff.

How sad is it not that the UI of Windows 2000 is _STILL_ the most elegant, beautiful and functional operation system UI that ever was?
If only there were a decentralized system where consumers and service providers could allocate resources according to their value preferences by providing voluntary incentives.

The "funding" problem that I never see discussed is that the NHS costs massively more per-person now than when it was introduced.

ex. How many ambulances at a few pounds in 1948, which were vans with a stretcher in the back and a couple of blokes to drive it. What about 2022? The cost, roughly £150K for the ambulance, goodness knows what to train up ambulance technicians and paramedics. If the kit is broken, the ambulance can be out of service, which means more units to provide cover (or not if you can't afford it!). The on top of all that, many more people go to hospital because the care is leagues above what you got in 1948.

Ditto for equipment costs like Digital XRays, MRIS etc.

All of that is not surprising or even undesirable but it would be interesting to see the additional tax that you should be taking per-person to pay for all of this additional equipment. If the NHS costs around 30% of expenditure i.e. 30% of my tax then roughly 7.5% of my income covers the cost of the NHS, maybe £6K per year. When we look at things that way, you can see why the Government doesn't want to take any money in tax because that sounds like a lot of money. You can also see how they can't reduce costs by going backwards in replacing high-tech with no-tech.
Wow, so whats the total now?

I guess all companies are making cuts before new fiscal year? Survive this month and maybe you're ok for time being?

I didn't say the laws do not exist. I pointed out that they obviously do not work. And they obviously do not work because politicians are strongly disincentivized to ensure they work.
I guess they need the other 4684 employees for legal and compliance.
classic vc growth story, almost a fairy tale.
In the case of the UK and NHS, under/overfunding doesn't quite capture the whole issue. The nature of spending matters, too. More spending on capital and managerial expertise could help improve things, but has largely been neglected due to political concerns regarding efficiency (or, perhaps, perceived efficiency).

I don't think this is a big barrier, except for the fact that Western computers didn't have good support for Japanese from the beginning. Earlier, heavier adoption of PCs might have changed the course of history, but at the time it would have been difficult to choose a 286 with DOS vs one of the Japanese computers.
I think corporate reports are a great application for ChatGPT. Nobody ever expects any sense from those anyway.

Semi random question: does Android have a camera API already?

I.e. if WhatsApp wants to use the camera, instead of building its own camera component, could it just invoke the platform camera?

The Samsung camera app has a ton of nice features and instead WhatsApp, Telegram & co just their garbage generic camera apps.

You make it sound like a £3 transaction fee is evidence of some kind of scamminess or preying on naivety but most normal, regulated investment platforms, crypto or not, come with transaction fees, account fees, fund management fees and so on. Usually they are taking a lot more than £3 from you too. That's even before we get into the world of professional financial "advice" and the commissions they just happen to earn when you buy the one they recommend. Compared to all the ways the traditional investment world seeks to milk you, Coinbase's flat fee per trade looks admirably straightforward.
We ? I didn't destroy it in the first place.
Inexperienced engineers simply don’t have the experience to make good hiring decisions. Having them being involved in the process is fine, but they should be shadowing someone more senior.
Perhaps I didn't explain it well. Those employers kept me ! and I didn't have to repeat it to other potential employers "shortly" later.

It just ended the conversation there. The crucial part being I'm not against publishing as a part of my job, but no way you're making it a personal requirement / on my behalf.

The outcome being "let's stay good friends", not "you're fired"/"don't get the job", I did get it. As such, not ending the conversation in 2 mins but letting them reviewing their argument is crucial : the constraints are yours, and you don't have anything to blame me for ..

ChatGPT is either extremely annoying in its inaccuracy (yesterday I asked about a former French president who is famous because people discovered he had a secret second family when he died and he gave me the wrong number of children and gave them wrong names) or extremely impressive (it once gave me a genuinely good explanation of how the expression "ghost in the machine" is related to Descartes, how Descartes views differ from Locke and how Spinoza relates to both).

I'm still awed by its ability to understand complex query. If they can solve the issues with hallucination, it's going to be a serious paradigm shift in how people access information. It's a bit like if you could have a chat with Wikipedia.

Using chatGPT, I can't stop myself of dreaming of a future where you can freely talk to a teacher with infinite patience, access to all the material ever produce by humanity and able to delve down as much as you want and rephrase as many time as necessary. The potential seems so high.

Overfunding doesn't always result in effective or good service/products.

If management doesn't flow the extra funding to front line staff or resources, it can easily be wasted for zero added value.

Question wasn't if people forget names in software, it's whether forgetting names is a problem. Like I forget names of things in the codebase MULTIPLE times per day, but I don't, and am not aware of anyone naming variables, functions etc in order for them to be memorable (as opposed to descriptive). I neither need nor want to memorize those names, I have other things more interesting to fill up my memory with.

It's amazing then how much writing of both code and prose I and many others did on machines that were much less capable than today's. I wrote considerable amounts of code on the Z80 Apple II add on in the early '80s and never felt that the editor was too slow. My wife wrote a novel on our Osborne 1 (CP/M, Z80, 5 1.4 inch floppies) in Wordstar. Speed was never a problem for editing.
The same as I did with the realities of Afghanistan, or Iraq, or Syria, or any of the other wars that have happened since I’ve been professionally developing software. War is a reality, but it’s also something I can choose to not engage in. It’s down to you to pick the things you feel are important to you, and if that’s (for example) gambling instead of defence then you do you.
I don’t want to interrupt your “stuck it to the man” story but I’m just curious whether it was HR telling you to participate with a clear message you’d otherwise be fired, or whether it was just over enthusiastic marketing folk?
