Doesn't matter if it's life saving, right? If you argue based on bodily autonomy, and then support vaccine mandates, you're not consistent regardless of what you think the vaccine does.

Not that great. UK is facing a cost of living crisis caused by too much government spending and in particular governments paying people to not work. There's a second issue because it's Glasgow. For Scotland to become viably indepe

Here's the thing. It's easy to believe that one side truly believes in the right to life, at least for innocents. Being against killing, at least for non criminals/enemies, is pretty common. The right to bodily autonomy is no

Sadly the CDC has just admitted it has never looked at VAERS for COVID vaccines. At all. Ever. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/cdc-vaers-covid-... "Since CDC officials stated publicly that “COVID-19 v

Unfortunately that wasn't clear. You talk about vaccines (in general), the modern anti-vax movement (in general) and so on, each time without qualification. If your points were restricted to one type, it'd make sense to prefix the

"they are smart enough to look at the real (not anti vax) statistics and realize that the risks are far outweighed by the benefits" What are "anti vax statistics"? Do you think people who refused to take the COVID vacc

Right, yet, Chrome has an enormous number of Mac users. Apple argue that battery life is a topic so important it's worth banning competitors for but clearly when given the choice users disagree. There are other things more important to

The Java part is probably very lucky to have if he ever writes a second edition though. The reason is, for many dynamic languages the best way to make an interpreter fast is now to use the Truffle framework, not write a bytecode interpreter

Adobe expecting Flash authors to make versions optimized for mobile wasn't particularly crazy though, was it? That's exactly what browser makers expect mobile site developers to do. A non-mobile optimized site mobile is an awful e

It's because there's nothing magical about HTML that makes it more battery efficient than Flash was. Quite the opposite really - Flash is a compact binary format designed specifically for high graphics performance in an era when H

You can pretty easily argue Graal is better than V8 in many different ways. V8 is good at what it does but its ambitions are very limited. They only care about Chrome so anything Chrome doesn't need gets ignored. And JS is inherently d

I did a CS degree at a UK university in the early 2000s and we were forced to take two modules of non-CS in the first year. Due to the ridiculous way places were allocated (you literally had a single day in which to physically run around th

You lasted long than I did! Disabled after a few days. I think it really depends on what languages you use though. If you use something like Kotlin where there's really almost no boilerplate and the type system is usefully strong, the

Well, what you could try is an engine that's designed to crawl specific niches and then allowing people to run their own instances. So you don't run any hardware yourself. You just let other people provide it - they might find a w

We've all seen that, but by far and away the most chaotic people at Google are the ones who think they're "fighting hate". How often do we read about some massive drama caused by activist employees trying to get each oth

I knew someone would give this sort of thought terminating cliché as a reply. At least you aren't denying that these things are hard left politics. Nobody ever overtly celebrates capitalism. It isn't true that there is such a thin

Maybe at one particular clinic? But that's not true in the general case. I remember when I first discovered that AIDS was both rare and overwhelmingly affecting the gay community (where I live). I was pretty upset because having grown

It's because "tracking" isn't a well defined thing to begin with, so it can't be enforced in code because. Doing so would require privacy advocates to figure out precisely what it is they are getting upset about.

Distribution, backups, credit card handling, user management etc are all cheap. You'd be looking at <5% overheads in most cases. What Apple are actually charging for is the first item in your list - access to the users. Apple wired

How would you even test that? Open source projects typically have a budget of near zero. There are lots of things that the open source approach can't handle but commercial development can, large scale search engines are one.

Claiming that hard left politics isn't really politics at all, is a silly and transparent tactic which fools nobody. Imagine if half your app icons suddenly changed to incorporate dollar signs in celebration of Capitalism Month. Every

As someone else who was an SRE at Google years ago, you should indeed be very glad that we made hiring decisions based on merit and not personal politics. The SRE team I joined shortly after the IPO was dominated by libertarians and arch me

I think you overestimate the knowledge most people have of California. I've been to Cali a bunch of times and none of the names they picked mean anything to me except Big Sur, but that's pretty obscure. I wouldn't expect anyo

Sadly that's common around the world. My university in the UK, supposedly an "elite" one, had the exact same problem.

I'm curious what sort of offerings can realistically be made to opportunistic programmers. Some sort of visual languages?

It's not that rare, but the problem is that a lot of people who are outsiders, yet who truly understand science and then write about it, often end up becoming quite sceptical of it. Just like how journalists who understand politics end

Don't forget JavaFX. It's pretty good, many features, mature and stable.

But non-banks by and large don't issue mortgages, or if they do they're pseudo-banks that make the loan and then turn around and immediately sell it to a bank.

Because the money is injected into the system at certain points and takes time to spread out. Like pouring water at high speed into a pond, it creates waves at the point of entry and even after you turn the water off it takes time to become
