Instead, people try to fix it with antidepressants, benzodiazepines or something else.
It feels a bit like the US approach to pain management – instead of massages or physical therapy, some opioid pill is cheaper to prescribe.

If you desire performance close to the chip, you chose the wrong language and should write code in a language closer to the chip. Unless the abstractions and concepts required for your primary work are so different from what you are using for day-to-day work (data science, ML python and C++ bindings for interacting with the GPU)
When I wrote Angular I spent 2 weeks on getting something similar to `props.children` working. <ng-content> didn't work if the elements were dynamic. Outlet system was way too verbose.
The 2 way databinding is anachronistic and belongs in 2010.
The i18n system they shipped with is awful. No way to have translations in code, only in template. This breaks down very fast when building generic components.
The DI relies on https://www.npmjs.com/package/reflect-metadata, which makes the builder an opaque black box unlike a webpack configuration.
Because of the opaque CLI I've spent 2 weeks figuring out why every third dev build resulted in a 150 line long tsc stacktrace, and it turned out to be angular's 1.x types package. Would have been so much easier with a webpack configuration.
JSX makes so much more sense, making code the parent of the template, instead of keeping code and template as siblings.

They don't look at API calls made by the apps. How can they be your sure of the security then?
Only after this was published were the apps removed.
In Europe, there are gambling sites constantly running their youtube ads, tagging them as "Family" category so you can't disable them in your Google ad settings. Not to mention outright pornography sometimes.
Not going to pay for the privilege of disabling gambling and pornographic ads being shoved down my throat, it is a very low bar. Once Google actually starts monitoring what ads they show it becomes a non issue.
What happens when you descend at 50kmh/30mph and the bent fork gives out/brakes don't work because it wasn't exact? Worth your life/health?
> It rides at least as nice as a modern carbon fiber marvel. It is of course heavier (12kg all up).
Carbon bikes aren't all about weight. You can make some parts of the frame stiffer and other more flexible (impossible with metal frames), which helps handling and comfort massively.
> Modern bikes that I see in the bike racks at work? Carbon fiber marvels with integrated e-bike drivetrain. They're only a motor failure, or even a worn out battery pack (assuming not available any more from the manufacturer as spares) away from being e-waste just like all other modern gadgets. Retrofit to different brand stuff? Forget it. The frame is an integrated design with the drivetrain.
E-bikes are an oddity, they aren't mainstream for bikes meant for sport. With electronic shifting however, you can pair different ones with SRAM AXS. Same with Shimano's Di2.
They are great $300 computers for when you're between jobs and moving to a place where you can use the work laptop for personal things. Or a pentesting machine. Don't see too much use for them otherwise.
Russians themselves have gotten used to consumer goods etc from the west, but they are mostly too afraid to rise up against or fight for Putin, who has most of modern russian state built around himself. So, no uprising from within probably.
Altogether if not the end of summer, then it's into very scary territory. Famine + energy prices - while Russia being unable to advance in Ukraine because of seasonal changes.
Is that meant to demonstrate economic strength?
* Russians have massive amount of brain drain. Most of tech employees have left, leaving only people extracting oil, people who turn it into fertilizer and gasoline and supporting roles.
* They can't build military tech because of sanctions. Starting to use 1950s and 1960s tanks.
* They've privatized and violated tons of foreign companies (for example Renault gave away 68% of car manufacturer Avtovaz to the state). Nobody in their right mind will bring money there in the future.
* They can't import smartphones, tech or luxury cars (things that keep russian upper middle class happy).
> Cutting Russia off from SWIFT has only strengthened their ties to India and China
There has been both strengthening and weakening. Russia depends on China, not the other way around.
> and now we're dealing with soaring food and energy prices at home
It hurts both ways. This is normal. Appeasement would be a better choice?
It's hilariously bad, it pulls misleading info out of context. It is probably responsible for more than zero deaths worldwide.
I've had experiences where devops minded people I've worked with have wanted to self-host services such as Bitwarden. Sure, it will be cheaper and you will have noone to blame but yourself, but once things go bad they go really bad. It's also another thing to keep eyes on.
I guess similar argument could also be extended to self-hosted clouds. Seems like it could take away a lot of focus and energy from working on the product itself.
