This is also why the current definition by some western governments/parliaments of what's happening there as "genocide" has credibility issues in some eyes. If everybody suddenly agreed that "genocide" means &q

This distinction sounds quite contrived to me. Surely you could see that, in most cases throughout the history, when a united identity emerges out of several different tribes/groups whatsoever, there would be a leading group that exert

You have a very good point. Seems to me happened is that the definition of "genocide" connected to a specific "people" has its roots in the definition of other war crimes. The concept became especially prominent after WW

Haha I'm not sure if we know each other since I know the issue you describe in this link. Regardless, I think this is a somewhat weird example since the it should not be DevOps' duty to look at and try to understand an error that

lol not sure if you're serious or not, as Elixir job offers are certainly still on the rise.

Performance is one thing. I think another major benefit people cite for using Elixir/functional programming in general is the productivity aspect. Of course you may argue that this is easily outweighed by hiring pains as a company grow

A friend of mine joined Snowflake (and rejected some FAANG offers) when it had ~40 engineers, i.e. when it could still well be called a "startup". He can literally retire after his options are fully vested, just 4 years after he j

Even then, I don't think lumping all "startups" in one basket is fair. A friend of mine joined Snowflake (and rejected some FAANG offers) when it had ~40 engineers, i.e. when it could still well be called a "startup&quot

It's not necessarily "dark" in the sense that human beings are programmed to always look for betterment for a reason. If human beings didn't have this drive to always do better and get more, we definitely wouldn't h

I find the summary quite reasonable. The following: > Joseph E. LeDoux was positive about the possibility of learning to control the amygdala's hair-trigger role in emotional outbursts. "Once your emotional system learns someth

Classic pump-and-dump. There's hoping that the SEC do a McAfee on him, though this seems rather unlikely unfortunately.

Nicely put. Just one point on the last paragraph, I guess somebody with Asperger's could also have ADHD. They can concentrate on something that catches their interest and forget about everything else for a while, but they can also shif

I mean if you really believe in what you said e.g. Tesla gets above $1,000 or Bitcoin goes above $100k, you can very well bet on it by buying into it, no? I wouldn't bet my savings on that though. Musk can very well post another tweet

Well you can certainly call the 4 hour work week overhyped (it was also largely a marketing exercise by Tim Ferris), though I guess back in the 2000s when the book was first published, hiring helpers was something that many in developed c

That sounds partial. What prevents somebody who is still relatively young and understands the current norms, and who might even have struggled through it themselves and learned their lessons, from giving out advice? AFAIK there was a book f

Easy to blame the US healthcare system, though in what country would one consider the healthcare system to not “be a failure”, regarding these aspects or when somebody faces the same issues that the OP has? Sounds like an inherently hard pr

Makes sense. I can imagine it working on non-tech people more easily. It sounds similar to an explanation of why people should keep their house tidy then.

The author doesn't seem to be that experienced yet and the arguments/comparisons don't seem so strong IMO. If they say they were hyped about something like Elixir/Haskell but now they are all in for Java, then OK, there

I don't think the idea is to hold the "corporate" accountable. If it's true that the senior management at that time decided to cover up the failure and ruined the lives of hundreds of people, and knew full well that they

I have a feeling that the author might have had a strong opinion on the value of sleep deprivation therapy for depression and might have benefited from it, and that might be an important reason why he felt an obligation to rebut the book. H

Simply sad to see such a garbage-quality piece of fear-mongering "journalism" (published more than 2 weeks ago, no less), with only wild anti-CCP speculations from a single random commentator for Radio Free Asia (spoiler: not exac

The syntax highlighting is done via greyscale though? I think there are also such color schemes out there that you can try out to see how it would work for you even on a normal screen.

Hmm, it does exist though in the form of Sony Digital Paper, the first version of which was released a few years ago. I have one and it works quite well for me.

Not sure of the exact reason you would do so, though if it's about the quality then you may realize that we're not living in the 2000s anymore and there are rises and falls in terms of product quality of a nation's industry.
