We have had this law in Norway for like 10 years. More women in the boards of the big companies, but it does not change anything. The women selected have the same background as the men they replace and think similar.

The biggest difference is that the people with most board positions are all women. Fewer women than men want to sit in these boards. Many women with 50+ board positions.

On the other hand, there is no justice when it comes to who get custody of children. Still 85% women, same as 30 years ago. Women get custody even if they are not fit to do the job.

How expensive is Tokyo at the moment? What would one week cost there?

Fast enough since one most of the time is wasted waiting for io (database, disk). For most situations it is better to choose the tech stack you know and then optimize it afterwards.

I have been investing in an Emerging Market fund and TSMC is now the biggest position there. Used to be Alibaba and Tencent. Good to invest along with Buffet:)

I programmed a bit of ARM2 on the Archimedes personal computer around 1991. Coming from the Amiga 500 and 68000 assembly it was relatively easy to program on the ARM. Everything was 32 bit, only general registers and more of them. Also very nice that all instructions had conditional possibility. It was also insanely fast at the time even with only 8Mhz CPU.

Nice article which actually goes behind the numbers to see which version of the .Net benchmarks that is comparable to to the other languages. Summary: .Net is fast enough. Java is faster and Node is slower. c++ and go is a little bit faster. Use .Net if you like the language and eco system.

Interesting to hear people who use OpenFaas. Seems you are happy with it? Any big problems?

There is also a long Cramer ETF.

There is also commercial products like NServiceBus that can use SQL Server as a connector to provide storage. I always used to think about doing this in the database as poor mans message solution. Perfect for small projects.

This is basically QE, the Bank of England is printing money to buy the long duration bonds since no one else will buy them due to expectations of rate increases. Check out 30 years US bond TLT, https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/TLT?p=TLT&.tsrc=fin-srch which have gone from 150 to 100 in one year.

I presume this is the same as Google Cloud functions which use gVisor as mentioned in the article.

I think we need to regulate some aspects of the social media apps espesially for the young in the same manner we have rules and regulations for tobacco, gambling and alchol. We see from experience/research that people are less happy after the profilation of social media and if it is harmful to socieicty then there should be more bounderies. I have a 9 year old kid and do not look forward to a world where all the kids are addicted to social media. I think China shows the way on some possible restrictions with focus on protecting young people.

I worked in a bank previously and we migrated all our databases from Oracle to MS SQL Server. I think we used like 7-8 years to do it so I can understand people who are hesistant to convert. I think the advantages at the time (this was 10 years ago) was lower price for the db servers but also more people who are familiar with Sql Server compared to Oracle.

Pretty cool to see it guess your age and BMI. Lots of interesting information. I also got the score violent average.

Totally agree, this is a misconception. If you look at the numbers you get different results based on how you calculate it. Meat also comes out a lot better if you compare protein instead of calories.

Greenhouse gas emissions per 100g protein https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/ghg-per-protein-poore?tab... Dark Chocolate 93.30 kg Beef (beef herd) 49.89 kg Coffee 35.66 kg Lamb & Mutton 19.85 kg Tomatoes 19.00 kg Oatmeal 1.91 kg

When the tomato is grown in an open field, the production emits an average of 80 kg CO2 per ton. If the tomatoes are grown in a greenhouse, they emit up to 700 kg CO2 per ton. In tomatoes there is 1.31% protein https://www.sdu.dk/en/om_sdu/fakulteterne/teknik/nyt_fra_det...

At least for us in Northern Europe, all tomatoes are grown in green houses.

I had ulcerative colitis from I was 18 until 46 which is a chronic inflammation with blood in the faeces. I switched to the carnivore diet and within some months all my symptoms disappeared. This was also confirmed with a colonoscopy in a hospital. My brain fog is also gone.

I used to be really strict but now I am more like 90-95% carnivore, but I try to get the carbs from potatoes, carrots and Nuts. I aim for under 50-100 grams on carbs a day since I lifts weights and do some CrossFit.

Info: Ulcerative colitis (UL-sur-uh-tiv koe-LIE-tis) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation and ulcers (sores) in your digestive tract.

Forgot to mention that AWS bills with minimum of 1 ms and DO minimum is 100ms. This also adds up.

AWS x86 Price $0.0000166667 for every GB-second $0.20 per 1M requests

Arm Price $0.0000133334 for every GB-second $0.20 per 1M requests

DO $0.0000185/GB-second So basically a little higher price for each GB/s but no cost pr request.

AWS free tier provides 400,000 GB-s and 1 million free requests per month

DO free tier 90,000GB-seconds of usage for free per month

So cheaper in some respects compared to AWS. Google and Azure is roughly the same as AWS. Also DO include egress which is expensive on AWS (it does not say it cost anything).

The Vipeholm experiments were a series of human experiments where patients of Vipeholm Hospital for the intellectually disabled in Lund, Sweden, were fed large amounts of sweets to provoke dental caries (1945–1955). The experiments were sponsored both by the sugar industry and the dentist community, in an effort to determine whether carbohydrates affected the formation of cavities.

Main building of Vipeholm hospital, now a secondary school The experiments provided extensive knowledge about dental health and resulted in enough empirical data to link the intake of sugar to dental caries.[1] However, today they are considered to have violated the principles of medical ethics.

Anyone tried Ignite out? Looks like a cool project but I tried to search around but did not fint much about it.

The default for HR systems automatic rejection is often 2 days. You might be rejected for something simle like only bachelor instead of master.

Totally agree, Fastly looks like they do not want small customers. Would be easy for them just to match Cloudfare on some of the offerings.

Surprised nobody have mentioned Making software, https://www.amazon.com/Making-Software-Really-Works-Believe/...

It takes a empirical view on the software process. Does writing tests first help you develop better code faster? Can code metrics predict the number of bugs in a piece of software? Do design patterns actually make better software?

The German plan could never work. They installed a lot of solar which does not produce much energy in the winter. They installed a lot of wind which does not help when there is cold, since then there is usually not much wind. In audition they did not buy enough gas. Germans have been fooled by people who do not know how to use their calculators.

For TSMC it is also good to have another big customer, otherwise they might become to dependant on Apple. Easier to get good pricing when they can say that we can sell the capacity to another big entity.

Coming from c# and java, this was the best book I have read about Javascript. Really good details on the basics.

In Bergen in Norway we had a big outbreak of Giardia parasite and a lot of people got CFS/ME after that. The Giardia was big because the parasites came into the drinking water from one of the water sources. I myself had this for of this for many years afterwards but one do not notice it since before you get rid of it. I was able to function normally but totally lacked energy, and everything was a chore. It was like the feeling the first time one drinks coffee and experience the way the fog clears up.

Conclusion. The study shows that Giardia duodenalis may induce CFS persisting as long as five years after the infection. Obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome, depression and anxiety were important differential diagnoses, or possibly comorbidities, to post-infectious fatigue in this study.

Also very impressed with google when searching for: giardia leads to CFS

I had Ulcerative colitis for 20 years and managed to get rid of it by changing the diet. I used the carnivore diet, ie eat mostly meat, egg, fish (animal products). Cutting out processed foods, sugar (only 70% dark chocolate) and seed oils. I would recommend trying it for a couple of months and see if it helps, and if you do not notice any difference you have not lost anything. I lost 10% of my body weight without ever being hungry so that might be a nice side effect also.

For me it sounds like she is trying to pull the blame on you instead of taking the blame herself. "It is not my fault", this is how bad organizations do stuff. It is all about not avoiding blame, so in such an organization always do front end stuff which is visible since the management in such orgs do not understand the stuff underneath. What is not visible do not exits. I know this is hard to comprehend and understand, but you can not change it.
