The article talks about mortality. Just because you don't die from covid doesn't mean you are as healthy as before. You still have to deal with LongCovid and in the case of kids with PIMS[1]. The NHS England is creating [15 paediatric hubs[2] to fight this. Now imagine a lot of kids get long term problems caused by covid. This will hurt the economy in the longterm a lot more than lockdowns and closed schools will.

Because this old style insulin acts slower than the more modern version and requires a rigid eating schedule.

Isn't the idea of underrepresentation of certain minority groups or genders basically that? we hear that there are only xy % of women in tech or PoC in tech and that the goal is to get for example 50/50% women/men. Isn't this basically a discussion about equality of opportunity vs equality of outcome. 50%/50% is basically equality of outcome. We can see for example in scandinavia that you get unequal outcomes if you amplify the equality of opportunities.

Thats not shocking. Its probably due to regulatory laws that transactions are saved that long.

It uses Spring Boot, but comes with a lot of sane defaults.

yeah close that stable company, that offers a good selfhosted solution for a fair price and jump ship to a VC funded startup that is backed by Tencent. \s

fritzboxes are everything but certainly no "prosumer"-type devices. Most of their "mesh" is still dual band. only the latest repeater "FRITZ!Repeater 3000" is tri-band and afaik there is no router yet available that supports tri-band.

I'm sorry to disappoint you. We had something like this in Germany around August [0]. We call them "querdenker" and they are basically a group of neonazis, esoteric people, covid is a hoax people and right wingers.

> Also, this looks like a bleak picture for the JAMStack if Wordpress keeps growing no?

The JAMStack has a usability problem. That's why wordpress keeps growing. What do i need for wordpress? some cheap(maybe even free) webspace and a database. updates to the wordpress core are quite simple doable via webinterface. done. with this even the biggest simpleton can write blogposts.

with a jam stack? headless cmses, blogposts written in markdown, config in "frontmatter", building and deploying your blog, versioning via git, not even a litte autocomplete. even i recommend wordpress because i have not the time and nerves to teach non-it people to use the JAMStack.

~$200/month for a 3 person startup might seem high. now calculate the cost of a server to host that FOSS stuff and the time and energy to maintain it, backups, etc.

TBH i would rather put that time and energy in my startup instead of maintaining a FOSS stack for my company.

a lot of those IPOs are Investors and Founders cashing out before everything goes boom.

> It's due to a bunch of systemic problems and America's history of racism and slavery.

How do you explain then, that asian-americans (on average) outearn whites, have a higher SAT score and are less likly to be in prison? They have been impacted by racist policies too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Japanese_America...

> This of course will lead more black people to turn to crime, because they have less good options, because they are on average, poorer and less educated. All the old laws and our history going back to slavery still has effects today that are compounding and allow the problem to continue to exist.

poverty and education dont explain those numbers, but there is (at least partly) the growing number of fatherless homes that correlate with many factors influence positive outcome. https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2017/06/18/533062607/poverty... https://datacenter.kidscount.org/data/line/107-children-in-s... You want black people to get out of this cycle? Dont be a criminal, comply with police, educate yourself, help others do the same. But somehow this is called "acting white".

>Everyone has an accent. When you say "without an accent," what you mean is that you are looking for someone with a particular accent that is meant to be free of features that identify someone as coming from a particular region.

Thats what an accent is, yes. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/accent

> In a way, it's discriminatory, because you're saying that people who do not speak your preferred dialect are not speaking "proper" English. Even if they grew up speaking English their entire life.

thats not what i said/wrote. Thats how you interpret it.

Could you give me an example what constitutes systemic racism from your point of view?

So you agree that this definition is biased and we shouldn't use it?

Don't you think that the definition of racism from a organisation that profits of fighting racism is a little bit biased?

> But to intentionally disadvantage a minority group is to discriminate against that minority group.

I would argue that depends on the intent. Do i put them in a disadvantage because they are part of that group or because a large part of that group wouldn't fit the requirements i have.

Lets say i'm looking for someone doing voiceover. Someone without an accent. That would probably put a lot of non-native english speaker in a disadvantage. Would you argue, that i'm discriminating against them or have racist intentions?

In this diversity session they would then argue my knowledge that non-native english speaker are put in a disadvantage by this requirement was the reason to put it in and therefor i'm racist.

> Please elaborate on what you mean by "warp the definition of racism"

changing the definition of racism so a specific targetgroup is included. For example instead of "discriminate minority groups" they say "disadvantage minority groups" and then include things like those entrence exams as a disadvantage. In the end everything is somehow racist.

I know those diversity sessions... They claim everyone who is white or passing as white is racist. I had to "confess" that i'm racist and promise to do better or it would have consequences for my career. Sidenote: I volunteer at a refugee center and took in a syrian family. Literally hitler, i know. A colleague got fired because he wouldn't confess and left the session.

So even if that Dean said he is a racist, he's probably not unless you warp the definition of racism.

Putting the blame on the devs is to easy. There are a bunch of management layers between the on-call team and the devs in your example. If management does not prioritize those alerts, its not the fault of the devs and its the wrong to put punish the devs for it.

> Honestly, the whole attitude of not wanting to work more than 8 hours is privilege. Most of the rest of the world works long hours. As a dev, you get a good salary and a job you don't have to break your body to do. The least you can do is be completely responsible for your own code.

unless i signed a contract that states i will do on-call, i'm not gonna do on-call. I doesn't matter how long the rest of the world works.

I know, but lets be real for a moment: Cloudflaremirror will probably be the fastest. This will cause people to configure it and because people are generally lazy they will not configure other mirrors.

Now every time cloudflare has a hickup, not only is half the internet unreachable, you can't even update your server... nice /s

On some level, you must know that meanings change based on the context a word is used in.

The sentence "i love you" changes its meaning based on the context. you can say it to your mom, your partner, your friend or even complete strangers after they helped you. every time the meaning changes.

master/slave just describes a type of relationship between two entities. there is nothing to feel strongly about. the context is what matters. using master/slave in a technical context is not immoral. using it to describe the relationship between people is.

Same in Germany. An aquaintance of mine had a fever after a trip to Singapore. He called the hotline, the local health department, the local clinic. nobody helped him, always directed him to call someone else. After 5 hours a doctor called and told him "its just the flu, get a bath and rest". No testing, no quarantine, nothing. He's in self-quarantine now...

ok lets break this down: you say that guy is "very gregarious and extroverted — the business folks like him" und your manager "is somewhat of an idiot".

could it be that your tech lead is stepping up to fix the mistakes of your manager? sounds to me like that guy might be the buffer of the team. the person that catches the shit the business folks fling at the team to allow the rest of the team to get some work done. Of course this impacts his "real" position as a tech lead.

its natural that the second in command (sounds like thats you) steps up to fill the resulting void and take over tasks. maybe you should talk to your techlead. ask (not accuse) him whats up with your observations. communication is key in those situations.

For years there is ride-sharing in germany. its simply not as hyped as uber. Just google for "Mitfahrzentrale". The key difference is: these people dont do it as their main job and dont do it for profit.

They claim "Podman provides a Docker-compatible command line front end and one can simply alias the Docker cli, `alias docker=podman`". That claim alone shows they dont know or dont care how people use container engines outside the k8s space. I know a lot of orgs that simply use docker-compose files to spin up simple setups. There is podman-compose[1] but its "still underdevelopment".

Then there is software using the docker socket.

Portainer? No Podman support [2]

Testcontainers? No Podman support [3]

Traefik? No Service discovery for you [4]

Should i go on?

yeah its rootless and i like the idea podman and buildah represent. What i dont like is the way they break at least part of the ecosystem.
