I think you can shoot someone if you have reason to believe that somebody has a gun

I need you to read this and really think about the words.

Your question seems to be mostly concerned about the human body, so you probably know the answer; eat healthily most of the time, exercise regularly, make sure you regularly get good sleep.

Oh, and wear sunscreen.

As an American, this is a very American answer, and I wish I could disagree.

Software development is only a well paid profession fairly recently, and only a very well paid profession if you are lucky.

Reminds me of the impact of lunch, on parole judgements: https://www.wired.com/2011/04/judges-mental-fatigue/

Nobody can watch all these, I don't get it.

The Lattigo library unleashes the potential of lattice-based cryptography in secure multiparty computation for modern software stacks.

To a layman like myself, what does this mean?

Get 'em! Pretty sure it's just called "teamwork!"

It didn't exist when I started either, but talk about a let-down of an article conclusion!

Golang and security. Golang is super weird to me compared with Ruby and/or Python. However, I can buy into its benefits.

Cloudflare[0] uses ClickHouse extensively, might want to reach out to them.

A.K.A. "ghosting" in online dating parlance

Is there a middleground?

Perhaps standardizing on something like Terraform allows you to reduce the risk of going all-in on one vendor.

Similarly with Kubernetes; if you go all in on k8S, do you care where it's hosted or can you maneuver quick enough to the best provider?

Get it to a chop shop for parts and/or get it out of the country and I can imagine it's pretty high.

Sounds like the exact narrative from my time at Atlassian; I often wonder if these types of ideas are a natural byproduct of companies working in the same space.

The vast majority of our lives will be boring and unexceptional. That is not a bad thing.

Please don't. I have to believe there is always a way.

I wonder which (and when), if any, of these improvements will trickle into their on-premise offerings, given Cloud and Server have diverged quite a bit.

This looks great, reminds me of a concourse.ci pipeline, but prettier.

Well, it is a huge base! Hey, at least the VA can cover my out-of-pocket cancer expenses?

Yes, sadly this is not an anomaly: https://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/camp-lejeune/

Better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.

The first time I visited Mountain View, I was absolutely blown away by the "sameness" of the people living there. Racially, it is much more diverse than my hometown of Austin, but I could never escape the feeling, after talking to random people, that I was stuck in a scene from "The Stepford Wives."

Is Facebook now considered critical infrastructure?

Long gone are the days of needing only a Technician class radio license to operate FCC uncertified radio and video transmission gear, strapped onto a cheap foam RC plane from China, piloted by a human with nothing more than a controller, video goggles, and an antenna to achieve mile-long distances and thousand foot heights.

THAT was the wild west.

The guy is worth $6 billion according to Wikipedia, he and his cofounder will probably be ok. Maybe we'll see something good come out of this with his involvement in Signal?

I didn't say addiction is the problem, I said it was a major cause of homelessness, so I don't really understand the downvotes.

The National Coalition on Homelessness seems to agree, citing "A 2008 survey by the United States Conference of Mayors asked 25 cities for their top three causes of homelessness. Substance abuse was the single largest cause of homelessness for single adults (reported by 68% of cities). Substance abuse was also mentioned by 12% of cities as one of the top three causes of homelessness for families. According to Didenko and Pankratz (2007), two-thirds of homeless people report that drugs and/or alcohol were a major reason for their becoming homeless."

The American Public Health Association as well states, "On an individual level, persons who have a problem with alcohol and/or other drugs, and who are in marginal economic circumstances, are at especially high risk for homelessness."[1]

The road to addiction is complex, and yes mental health treatment should absolutely be better in the United States, but to claim that addiction is not a risk factor to homelessness is disingenuous.

Addiction is absolutely a major cause of homelessness.

Well sure, but that's why I prefaced with "downtown." The five-county Greater Austin metro area has its own transportation issues that need solving as well, like much of the country.

No they aren't, they're probably saving downtown Austin's transportation woes. Decades of failed resolutions by the city council to provide expanded public transportations for an extremely high growth city have brought us to this point, one where the market had to come up with a solution. I'd imagine more regulations are probably due in the near future.
