> Some of them deal with issues that need to be dealt with (geological studies, looking at vibrations, etc), many of them are there to help with the massive overregulation which means you need to produce a report that no species of frog or insect is going to be upset by your new infrastructure project.

The thing is, these regulations are all well-known, sometimes decades old. Here in Germany, we have "Machbarkeitsstudien" ("feasibility studies") for that reason - we first look for obvious issues before we make a final decision. Of course, sometimes stuff crops up that hasn't been foreseen (e.g. more WW2-era bombs than expected, something has not been spotted at the time of the initial study), but there is no excuse in not doing the due diligence before starting a new project.

Environmental protection is often abused as a scapegoat.

Where we have a massive issue is NIMBYism - citizens feel that projects have been ordered "par ordre mufti", i.e. decided without engaging the affected people, and obviously that is an incentive for those people to use all legal tools at their disposal to obstruct a project. Thankfully, since a few years it's become the norm to not do that any more and actively involve affected people and NGOs already during the planning phase or even before, so at least for future projects we can expect less destructive opposition.

I worked with a guy who loudly pointed this out in executive meetings where marketing and analytics were presenting. Then he wouldn't let it go, loudly proclaiming the sham in the hallways and through various emails.

He was laughing at them in their faces, even, and was 100% correct. They excluded him from any further meetings.

Every time they brought up a new stat and set off alarm bells he would bring up their massive fuckup and rub it in their face, and then would dig through the data and question every point.

He was eventually fired for pointing out how incompetent our new owners were after an acquisition, and would have been a lot happier joining everyone in their sham.

I really don’t understand why people are so bothered by Sam’s statement.
I’ve spent some time in the data science world and can emphasize. I think one reason it feels like this is that you’re relatively close to the power structures of the organization: the CEO says everything should be “data driven” and you are “data”. That makes everything very political.

EDIT: And to state the obvious: corporate politics is hugely inefficient and mostly worthless.
> it’s most likely a naturally created virus.

The lab leak hypothesis doesn't even rule out that it was a natural virus. It just says that the virus leaked from the lab. It could have been:

- deliberately created in the lab (gain on function)

- accidentally created in the lab through repeated cross-species contamination of lab animals

- just stored in the lab from a natural sample

- or even not deliberately stored in the lab but acquired through infection of a researcher on a collection mission.
The tax and eHealth systems have the advantage of being monopolies though, it's not like you can go to another tax service with better ICT (except by emigrating of course), and it's literally illegal to not use the system at all (because you have to pay your taxes), so you can't even choose not to use it. Most companies do have competitors, so "we are more reliable" becomes a selling point for them.

Definitely agree that some companies take their uptime demands beyond the point of diminishing returns though. I once worked at a company which would absolutely not allow 10 minutes of scheduled downtime in the middle of the night but didn't mind at all if I took several months to build a workaround.

The problem is that lots of organisations say they want to be "data driven" but then leave all the management decisions to the prejudices of individual managers as well as management as a whole within the organisation. It's a problem that's been with us since Taylorism and the dawn of "scientific management".

You end up with "we spent years and $ to get the data which says do X, but we don't feel like doing X, so we're just going to ignore it because data in and of itself has no power within the organization".

It's like buying a gym membership and not going to the gym. Having a data science department satisfies the organisation's need to believe it's self-improving.
> 3. In general, the letter combination ال should be common. The combination ل ا cannot occur in Arabic script, as those characters should be connected.

Funny enough, Rami is Egyptian/Dutch and ل ا looks a bit like IJ/ij, which is a digraph in Dutch that even used to have its own codepoint once upon a time.

A digraph for which two existing letters in the ASCII code already worked perfectly had a code-point, and I'd argue that even historically almost no Dutch person has ever even used it because keyboards with it barely existed. The only place where you might find an IJ key is on ancient electronic typewriters, and the only reason I know is because I had touch typing lessons on one thirty years ago and the teacher made us use them, after which I had to unlearn that because no computer keyboard featured it.

And meanwhile Windows apparently can't even be bothered to copy/paste Arabic correctly (at least not in 2015 when the embedded video was recorded).

I don't know why people think this is such a bad take, if we look at just gpt over the past few years gpt-2 -> 3 -> 3.5 (2019,2020,2022) is absolutely a 2x gain, and I don't think anyone's in a better spot to determine what improvements gpt4 will bring.

These deploy issues are all kinds of ulcer inducing. They're not strictly Nomad's fault (we're holding it wrong), but the complexity of flyctl -> nomad -> global hosts makes it difficult to bubble errors back up to you.

I just don't know about that. If you go on Reddit during a major sports even there will be thousands of people posting to no one about their thoughts on the game in real time. "Great play!" along with 100 other comments on that particular play that no one is going to read or interact.

If you had AI bots like human posts then I really don't think the type of people that are into social media would care at all if a human is behind the like or not.

It is the very young now that I can see growing up being into something else besides social media but the current addicts are truly hopelessly addicted.

I have used Nebula. Did a group buy of the kits with several friends to obfuscate shipping address. Signed up via a protonmail address, and accessed the site only through VPN. Then deleted my data after downloading all of it.

I believe it would be very difficult to tie my identity to my genome because of these steps.
> women whose children where born with birth defects would have been better off using alternative medicine (read "placebo") or no medicine at all.

That’s a common misconception, some of those women would have died without it. Inflammation of the brain is as severe as it gets, unfortunately it was sold over the counter so people where taking it for less severe issues.

It took 4 years for the drug to be pulled from the market in Europe, but today it’s on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines and regularly prescribed in Europe.

Thus the reality and perception of this drug are different. Of course it shouldn’t have been sold over the counter, that was a mistake, but 10,000 birth defects is hardly the only thing it did. And in fact most pregnant women who took it didn’t have such side effects.
I suppose the question will be whether or not Couchbase pushed for their logo inclusion prior to payment. This might be negligence on the organizers behalf, however, the marketing department may be better off just paying for the sponsorship regardless.
It's not, because all it would take to falsify it would be to do an exhaustive search of the lab's documentation and a comprehensive interview of lab employees.

If you’re a data professional in a company where data quality is low or non-existent, then improving the quality of data in the organization is absolutely part of your job, most likely the most important one

It’s less cool and flashy than the real time online machine learning model you want to build, or the multi-level bayesian model to determine causality between revenue and an obscure event, but that data dictionary and table/db catalog really needs to be built before everything else

Then document the essential reports to the extent that a high schooler should be able to produce/maintain them

Then adjust the reports so that the metrics indicate what management actually needs to learn from them (if you don’t know what’s important for them and for the business, then finding out is part of the job, too)

All these things are extremely important, and it’s silly to suggest your work is meaningless just because it’s not fun or interesting. There are no tv series about civil engineers building sewage networks but public sanitation saves more lives than medicine. Data work works the same
Do you mean VPS's (virtual private servers)? Because there you need to take care of the maintainance of the OS, system upgrades, initial setup, etc. With a system like Fly.io you just push your app and the OS is abstracted away from you. That is exactly what the article is about.

TypeScript lets you fit your types to your data, whatever that data is. If your data includes mixed types, then you can represent those. If I have a JSON array that mixes numbers and strings then I can write (number|string)[].

Most other statically typed languages force you to fit your data to your types. Many statically typed languages simply degenerate into dynamic typing when trying to consume external data, e.g. by representing JSON as an enumeration of every possible JSON value type.
When I was 35 and younger I could run no matter what i did to my body.

Now that I'm in my 40's I find if I get knee pain, its almost certainly tight muscles around the knee.

> Subscriptions align developer and user interests and produce better products and less wasted money in the long run.

This is not true. One particular problem is that developers no longer have to compete with their "n-1" release, which means a product can regress but the customer is locked in regardless. Especially if proprietary data formats or some kind of cloud storage is involved.

1. Momentum and Urgency seem to matter a lot in productivity and procrastination.
2. Focusing on outcomes rather than working just to work leads to focusing on useful work.

When you combine these things you can end up in a situation where.

Person A worked 5 hours and 80% of their work was useful = 4 units
Person B worked 50 hours and 10% of their work was useful = 5 units

Which one is correct depends on the goal. Is the goal efficiency or useful output?

Promethease (1) is a great site for doing this. You upload a genome (which they promise to delete), and download an HTML interactive report. The report spans thousands of studies, and it will tell you about any rare genetic disorders or interesting findings.

I think next gen we'll see Sony getting back into the handheld market, Nintendo coming up with a second version, and Microsoft coming up with a cloud stick

Microsoft doubling down on cloud gaming might kill their Xbox brand, it's too early for that, they'll miss the handheld market just like they missed the smartphone era

Nonsense. Just have a look at current rankings (Stackoverflow survey, IEEE Spectrum, Tiobe, etc.) where Pascal/Delphi is around the same position as e.g. Swift or ABAP; in your logic all these languages are dead, which is obviously wrong. There are also other languages with a Pascal like syntax (e.g. Lua) which do well.

That's not quite true for original Vim. The developer experience for writing plugins is incomparable; VimL lacks good ways of abstracting and composing behavior, while Emacs Lisp gives you just about everything a modern language should, including sophisticated object system with multimethods and multiple inheritance. The built-in debugger for Elisp is not on the level of JetBrains IDEs, but it provides all the typical functionalities and is GUI-driven, in contrast to Python's pdb or Ruby pry.

NeoVim is an entirely different beast, and I heard good things about its way of handling plugin development.
