I think this is not about Teams. Probably more about security critical backend code.

Git is fast and powerful.

It is considerably more powerful than most teams need.

Is it really that bad in the US? Makes me wonder if I should continue to invest in the US stock market...

This sounds a bit familiar...

Is this legal in the US?

> High levels of education linked to heightened brain tumor risk

> Gliomas, in particular, more common among university-educated, large observational study shows

> Men with university level education, lasting at least three years, were 19% more likely to develop a glioma

I believe, for a rare cancer, a 19% increased risk is not a very big deal. It's still low risk. (And of course, only the correlation is known.)

I believe YCombinator was still very small in 2008. Otherwise, they would probably have said something similar.

More is expected, though:

> More rate rises are expected. The Economist Intelligence Unit expects the Fed to raise rates seven times in 2022, reaching 2.9% in early 2023.

(The Guardian)

Do large institutional investors even get margin calls? I thought this only happens to customers of brokers.

It's a bit different though because Russia and Ukraine are so close. It's a bit as if the US would attack Canada.

Amazing how Putin does all by himself.

Also the comparison with the Holocaust is extremely tasteless.

> While any bombing is tragic, the atomic bombs are not worse than other.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I think atomic bombs are much worse because using atomic bombs you can destroy a whole country in a matter of minutes.

Europe certainly didn't forget. Russia's reputation has suffered a lot.

Now I'm a bit worried.

Could this bring down the whole internet for a while?

A great way to use this would be to create very good tests (manually) and then let the AI write the code. Maybe even with a feedback loop: when a test fails, the AI automatically tries a different approach.

Anyone knows what languages are supported besides those mentioned?

They didn't do that in Germany, but the flu disappeared here, too.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work either, because there are some neurotypical people who have mastered the art to say technically correct things but implying different, often awful things.

Very inspiring essay.

But:

> This was the closest thing I've had to a normal job, and I hereby apologize to my boss and coworkers, because I was a bad employee. ... Toward the end of the year I spent much of my time surreptitiously working on On Lisp, which I had by this time gotten a contract to publish.

Looks like he really was a bad employee. Not sure yet what conclusions I should draw from this.

I believe you can work around this attack vector .NET by referencing strong-named assemblies.

I think Visual C++ supports it for a subset of the language: https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/visualstudio/debugger/suppo...

I think it's not really the UK's fault.

It's AstraZeneca. They are frauds.

Huh? It seems pretty obvious that he does not have the necessary charisma.

I think everybody has a (shadow) FB account. FB collects your data and connects it to other data even if you never registered.

The article is from May 2020 when vaccination was still a somewhat distant possibility.

Maybe. On the other hand, "andernfalls" is a bit long as a keyword.

I guess the unknown German word mentioned in the post is probably "sonst". It can be translated to "otherwise" or "else". And "wenn...dann...sonst" sounds perfectly natural in German.

In most Western countries, workers have a right to form unions.

So yes, companies have to accept it.

There is also a "Mancomb" character in TSOMI: https://monkeyisland.fandom.com/wiki/Mancomb_Seepgood

I think most people do give a shit at the beginning of their career. Unfortunately, many companies do everything they can to make their employees stop giving a shit.
