Vietnam had 50k KIA, and taught a generation of young conscripts how to stick with their buddies, and how to dish out organized violence. Many of them returned to become normal businessmen, labourers, lawyers, and doctors. Some others bounced off normal society. They enjoyed their new lifestyle and found ways to apply their new talents (guns, fighting, and running drugs). Motorcycle gangs were the archetype. WW2 and Vietnam vets formed the backbone of several outlaw motorcycle gangs.

Russia is just starting to relive the joys of young men returning from an ugly war with ugly new skills. Their last round was Afghanistan, and that was a kids' party in comparison.
the point is: you don't need to kill plants and fungi. we wait for beans, corn and wheat to almost die before we harvest it. no tree that produces fruits needs to be ripped off. a lot of vegetables can be harvested without killing the plant, if we cared. as well fungi, as the mushroom is relative to an apple is to a tree.

it's really impressive reading arguments of this level on a place like this... and even worse: justifications at the ballpark of "i can't commit to veganism, its too boring/difficult"

edit: boring is to work on a livestock place killing hundreds of animals per day and dealing with the smell of blood, screams of animals not killed at the first air-shot & the high paying salary that probably allows plenty of exotic seasoning and vegetables to be cooked after work; if you aren't going to suicide, because rates of this type on those workers are pretty high

Stroke Is Preventable
This medical journal paper Prevention of perioperative stroke in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery states that stroke is preventable.

I was motivated to read this as the topic is close to my heart. I approached and understood this paper using tools like Fermat's Library, histre for annotation and ChatGPT to understand medical terms.

Stroke was attributed to hypertension and an insult to psychology when patients with hypertension were subjected to hospital care for the first time. The prevention is possible by thickening the blood and working to reduce the hyper tension factors.

“Destroying the local job market”

This has been debunked again and again[1]. Please stop. No ones complaining about unemployment/underemployment anymore and with good reason. Even the article OP posted cites a job market that is too good for entrepreneurs to take risks outside of it. Let’s just set this one aside.

The housing market and other inflation is mostly an artificial own goal on the governments part. Demand is a good thing in markets that aren’t artificially constrained.

[1] https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/why-immigration-doesnt-reduce-...
Birth-right citizen Canadians just aren’t having enough children to make that work in a modern economy requiring a big base of young workers.

Sure we have enough housing to support our slowing aging/dying native-born population if we shut off immigration. That’s not actually an improvement at all.

We agree that cost of living + housing costs are cratering entrepreneurship, and that the simple effect of supply (slow home building, restrictive zoning) and demand (more people/immigration) is at play.

However, I think it’s not an option to slow down on either immigration or keep the current slow trickle of residence building as-is. We need BOTH faster, because we let this problem fester.
I think that's too cynical. This is why I like interviews with Orson Welles talking about what it takes to make a movie. When he made citizen Kane he had never made a movie so he didn't know the camera was noisy so put it in a box, or that actors were used to acting in a stage play like environment (watch Philadelphia story and citizen Kane back to back, both amazing, but for entirely different reasons). And he didn't have some kind of belief that he had some magic, just the advice of his director of photography that you need about half a day's training to learn how to make a movie and the rest of it is making a movie.

And that's the truth. Go to your local art house cinema and watch whatever they are playing. There are people trying to create something that's their vision. But none of them work in Hollywood.

Kind of sad.
Just to clarify a bit. A VM is already a container.
When you run docker inside a VM it’s another level of abstraction.
Yes, one can run docker containers on bare metal, however the isolation is poor and so is the security guarantees.
In terms of excess abstraction, with VMs or bare metal you just need to learn the essentials that you need to know anyways like for example linux networking and security. With docker there is additionally container networking.
The bridge tables will lead to a lot of extra joins in the rest of the application though. Like the typical case of a grid with the order items which has product name and category as well.

Nobody complains about supply? News to me. Trudeau has been boasting about how his sizeable immigration increases will solve the housing crisis for months now with a greater supply of workers to address the “labour shortage”. The “labour shortage” being the biggest buzzword to complain about lack of supply. Meanwhile construction has been basically stagnant and even backsliding slightly according to statscan data while he has basically given a big shot of adrenaline to demand.

Whereas a five year old could understand, if we literally just stopped all immigration tomorrow (this would have extremely bad consequences like causing an immediate recession and huge unemployment but hypothetically) housing prices would crater because Canadians don’t reproduce at anything close to replacement. But people go oh no no, the REAL solution to the problem is the thing causing the problem.

Immigration I accept is a lesser evil to the alternative, but it’s certainly not the solution to the housing crisis. It’s just not.

If you read the New York Times article in question you’d see they didn’t actually get the facts on the ground wrong.

They reported that a Palestinian official claimed that Israel bombed a hospital. This report was factually correct, but the claim was a lie.

It was bad journalism for other reasons - the headline didn’t emphasise the uncertainty, and it wasn’t wise to publish the official’s claim when they knew so little about the facts on the ground. But they said nothing factually incorrect.

They made no claim themselves about what Israel did, and the official said what they said he said.

Wait, is this the "amount of programmers in the industry doubles every ${not many} years, therefore software development is dominated by fresh juniors who know fuck all about anything" argument, but applied to engineering management?

I don't think it muddles my point at all.

The corporation acting as an entity is part of the problem — if company culture, your manager, or whoever demands loyalty to that entity, that always will be a hollow promise no matter who asked for it, because an entity cannot return that loyalty. Corporate entities of a certain size are like superorganisms — their main goal is survival and for that they will shed the cells that make them work if it benefits them.

You can be loyal to people within those corporations, but even they can be forced to break that loyalty towards you to safe their skin.

Saying all of this I think true loyalty can be found at work. Just not beyond a certain organizational scale or at a very limited interpersonal level.
Thanks for the clarification!

So the "baseline" is Java - is that Java compiled or interpreted? And if the latter, is the non-JIT-ted Graal interpreter compiled (as Java) and interpreting the script, or is it interpreted itself?

All I see is software developers wanting to create entire working worlds and universes :)
At least in JavaScript land all production ready frameworks only solve two problems: architecture in a box and put text on screen. These are trivial to achieve at substantially lower effort without the frameworks, but it requires a more experienced or better trained developer.

What you describe is a training failure, but your thoughts on the matter are an economic failure. The goal of software is eventual cost reduction via automation. I say eventual because software is always a cost center and its value is not immediately realized.

What you describe is employment, which is not the same thing. The least friction path to employment to turn candidates into commodities to ease selection and risk of rejection post-selection. Once employed the candidates perceived value is often measured in things you describe, which rarely translates into any kind of value add to the business. Churn is burn, which increases employee engagement but almost always increases operational costs. The way to decrease operational costs is with automation, which includes things like CI/CD, static analysis, test automation, and so forth. These automation efforts are not measured in churn.

That contrast is why many software developers are API monkeys, because its what they are hired for and what they are rewarded for. That is why software developer return on investment is not defined by business requirements. Many employers need people to perform low effort work and do not wish to invest in formal training. This is all measurable.
Probably the gender theory thing. In 100 years I think people will laugh to the idea that we once debated whether men could be pregnant or not.

I am totally ok if others like these things. But it's more like sports than it is like art. If you like sports that's fine, it takes an amazing amount of talent and experience and money to put together a professional team whether you are a player, coach, or manager. But the end result will always be some dudes on a field chasing a ball.

And there's nothing wrong with that. Many people enjoy that. But it's not art (as defined as something that challenges the audience) and it doesn't claim to be.

Nothing about a modern franchise challenges me in any way. There's nothing socially conscious, critically new, or ideologically challenging in any marvel or star wars whatever these days.

Are they using publicly accessible free resources on 'the internet' or library-focussed databases that aren't generally accessible to a person sitting at home?

Because I've never encountered a librarian that just uses 'the internet' to find out what books are available on a subject, they have specific databases at their disposal which are updated versions of the card-file of old, and those databases are not generally accessible to the public
Our main application at work is essentially a CRUD application, and I've worked on it for over 10 years now. I'm fairly confident I can count on one hand the number of cases where a join returned unexpected duplicates which DISTINCT would "fix".

The federal government is (mostly) inconsequential on housing supply. Trudeau knows this and so has to do all kinds of other song and dances to distract.

If we have a labor problem let’s import construction workers, fix zoning, build a large housing fund and construction department and mobilize it. Actually work the problem on a provincial and municipal level.

As opposed to constantly kvetching about supply and trying to murder it (see: foreign buyers bans, airbnb bans and now the ever popular immigration stoppages). It’s all whack-a-mole band aids that are clearly not working.

Solve the actual problem, and that’s supply, supply and supply.

It was an "intro to grad school" type class. The point was simply to build endurance. They made very clear in the class that there was no way we were going to absorb the depth of the papers and told us to bound the amount of time we spent on it clearly so that we don't kill ourselves over it. I like to think of it as marathon practice or breathing practice for folks who played woodwinds; it was just helping us get into the muscle of winnowing papers effectively.

All the cells in a organism communicate. Neurons are not special in that they communicate, but in that they do it fast. Animals move, and to do that correctly, they have a brain as fast control center. The experience of being, including suffering, is likely very similar between brained animals whose domain is movement in space. Plants live in a domain of chemical gradients in the soil and light gradients comming from the sky. They need a no-sigal (suffering) and a yes-signal (pleasure) as any other type of organism to navigate their domain properly, and the intensity of the signals needs to be appropriate, up to absolute, their live is on the stake.

Where do you get this?

> and something politically adjacent is probably the most common major for a journalist besides journalism itself.

In the US, ISTR that the top 3 majors for journalists, and the only ones above a 10% share, are, in order, Journalism, Communication, and English. Even if Poli Sci is next after that (and I think it is), its a really small share of reporters.

Years of experience crafting he-said/she-said dueling press statements from politicians and other government officials and interested lobbying groups into narratives doesn't equate to understanding of politics or government.

I wouldn't describe it as "sterilized and utopian" but otherwise I agree.

Basically, 99% of the people on the Fediverse are tech-savvy, anti-corporate, chronically-online people*. Which also means that there's a much smaller population, because it only consists of these types of people. Meanwhile, there are more "normal" people on Reddit so it has more/more active communities and the viewpoints are more diverse.

It's ironic seeing Lemmy have even worse left-wing bias than Reddit, because there's a lot of left-center people on Reddit, but mostly only radical leftists are motivated to participate in Lemmy.

Think about this from the perspective of the post. For us since we do use React CLJS and it’s array of libs did became an excess level of abstraction. A wrapper around the JS engine and JS ecosystem - which didn’t bring enough added value for us to justify its use.
