It must be awful.
A bit of advice: if you end up buying a macbook give it some time and don't move your whole life into the ecosystem. It's incredibly hard to move out. You can't just export all your photo albums, Things tasks, and so on.
I too used to hitchhike in the Balkans and usually tried to avoid politics or sensitive subjects but I guess I wouldn't be able to resist myself in this case. Probably ending up thrown out by the driver considering current Poland-Russia relations. Sad how people in Central/Eastern Europe are still traumatized by the consequences of WW2.
> For example, in this case, if a regular database was used instead of Firebase, "counting the number of supporters" would have been done inside the database using a query.
I don't think this is connected to serverless achitecture. You have to write a database query either way. And it would be just as easy to count or retrieve entities one by one with traditional approach.
I think they are symmetrical. You can use both separately, without the other.
Yeah but would you figure it out if you just listened to it expecting Joe Rogan?
To be honest I don't really see any reason to treat doctors differently than other professionals. There are plenty of difficult jobs that people's lives depend upon but I've yet to see a career path forcing trainees or juniors to go through such hard conditions for several years for pennies.
> Further work hour restrictions could turn the 15-year training process into a 16 or 17 year process. Fair enough, this could solve the problem. But really? From a purely economic perspective, this is silly.
From a purely economic perspective everyone works too little for too much. Why don't we start to treat residents like human beings, cut the long hours and pay them decently. Where do we find the money? Maybe in regular doctors' sacks - the difference in pay before and after residency is crazy. In 2017 residents went on a country-wide strike over working conditions in my country (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41777785) and it's said they'll go on another one this year.
As a side note I think a lot of issues in health service is a lack of proper management. Every time I'm in a hospital I can't help to notice hiring someone like an office manager, who's only job is to smooth communication between workers and patients and workers themselves would be huge.
I'm not trying to say that once we introduce methods to fully detect some types of law infractions it will inevitably lead to a totalitarian regime.
But I believe some leeway is necessary for people to feel comfortable and somewhat free. I don't want to be punished every time I make a mistake. I think you can find some sweet spot between zero and total detection. And yeah, probably leaning towards the latter, in correlation with seriousness of a violation (optimal discoverability reaching zero rather means the law should be revoked, like jaywalking being penalized in my country imho).
Also, how would you even know some law is optimal when no one violates it? I mean, we could put radars on every road and set the limit on 30 kph. The studies discussed in the article wouldn't be possible then.
> I'm not arguing about every single law, only those that have impact on the leading cause of death beyond health issues in the civilized world
Definitely speed is the factor. But what about other variables at play like road quality, intersections planning, lights, other traffic regulations? And if tweaking them actually lowered casualties equally well with better economical outcome?
> only the fear of enforcement keep people honest
As for a slippery slope. You vastly generalized your statement yourself tbh.
The thing is the potential fines they're going to face are nothing compared to the problems you'd face as an individual. They can easily mitigate such costs.
When I was 11, my mom told me every day, "Don't say anything bad about my Dad."
I knew that was a lie, but I needed to say it anyways, so I wrote down the reasons why I wasn't nice to him. I would go to the bathroom and look back over my shoulder for a few seconds before walking around without noticing that my Mom had written down every bad thing about him on a piece of paper. I would go to school to catch up a few more papers.
:o
Lately I started to review much more code than I write. And what I can tell you is that is very easy to fall into the trap of thinking that something is obvious when you spend a lot of time within specific domain, codebase, or technology. If someone can't immediately tell what some straight piece of code does it usually says the code could be simpler or more idiomatic rather then they are ignorant.
While I'm not necessarily saying something's wrong with your code I wouldn't assume he's in the wrong or that he's stupid.
Besides I think it's pretty normal to ask authors about their code when you work with it.
> I am a bit hesitant to work with him because I think he is not very competent and when he do not understands anything, he will simply complain to my manager that its my fault and my manager, being his friend, will listen to him.
Has it ever happened? Don't overthink it, just do your job and provide help to colleagues when needed.
Also, I feel like there are reasonable motives for visiting porn or porn-related sites in this case. It may sound like a joke but if work at legislative body responsible for creating new laws you should be able to do research.
