In my opinion, while many parts of Austin are becoming expensive, I think it’s still not seattle levels of expensive (a lot of bidding /price wars in Austin are for newer houses, while bidding is pretty common in seattle for houses built in early 1900s).
No they won't (or maybe they will be able to be speculatively opt-deopt?)
Value types above a relatively small size are less efficient than references.
If you make changes to a large shared module, is it your responsibility to chase down each and every usage of it? For example if you are upgrading a dependency due to a somewhat breaking security issue such as Jackson 2.8->2.12
At Google it mostly _is_ your responsibility to do that, yes.
There is substantial tooling assistance to assist with this, and it's common to make changes by adding new functionality, writing an automated transform to shift usage from old to new, sharding out the reviews to the suitable OWNERS, and finally removing the old functionality.
Very heavily used common code tends to be owned by teams that are used to this burden. That said, it does complicate upgrades to third party components.
You do not chase down, the buld system detects all affected modules and runs their tests. That's the advantage of monorepo - contineous integration that includes all dependent modules.
It's also a disadvantage, to be clear. Tests take longer to run when you need to rebuild your database and not just your own code. There's no easy way to put something in maintenance mode and only take changes for bug fixes, because maintaining forks is not a significant thing. Thus downstream dependencies must pay not just for bug fixes but also for feature improvements, deprecations etc.
It works well enough if everything is making money and is being actively developed.
Thanks for that, the report appears to be very recent. However the story does note (at the end) that "how long they will remain effective" is still an outstanding question. And why would the vaccine immunity be longer lasting than the natural immunity from having contracted the virus?
The more time goes on, the more we'll know about these questions. Right now there is just no way to know what happens 1+ year after vaccination, since nobody has been vaccinated this long yet.
If I were you I would see the vaccine as a "booster shot" for whatever natural immunity you may still have, with the expectation that it will improve and prolong your immunity.
Seems like religiosity is a neurological need, but church is not. With organized religion decreasing in various countries, I wonder where people will get their outlets for social and metaphysical needs previously supplied by churches.
How did you arrive at that conclusion? With the decline of organized religion, could one not suggest that religiosity is very much something people can be without? Or are you referring to already religious people being unsatisfied religiously?
I'm in a very secular country. Non-religious people are... non-religious. I don't believe there is anything that "replaces" religion in most people's lives. If you're not religious, you don't necessarily have metaphysical needs, and I think most people here don't.
Regarding religious people: they meet with eachother in church and other constellations as usual. Nothing is keeping people from practicing their religion, but they can't assume most people will empathize with their views, which is true for many different standpoints in life, not just religion.
(I did not read the article as I was paywalled, I might have missed the context of your comment)
Japan surprises me. Religion seems nearly absent from their daily lives.
There is ritual around death and marriage. The scene of a temples will be typically older people eliciting prayers for health, relieving ailments.
But little else that I have observed.
It is perhaps the rest of the rigidity of their society that gives them a sense of belonging to, serving the whole, a notion of laws, rules, guidelines....
Some have postulated that the rise of conspiratorial thinking is exactly this. So people are leaving the church, and moving to QAnon, and cults of personality.
Perhaps organized religion was serving to keep people's need to be part of something more productively contained. However I can tell you it isn't universally a neurological need. There are those of us who get by just fine without any religiosity, or church. I don't know if that is because we are different or if anyone can do it.
Are you really implying that white supremacy, the very thing that in my parents lifetime was the law of the land, has been reduced to a boogeyman? That is unfortunate. I'd love to engage with you more, and provide some reading or sources that can maybe away your view.
Im not the person you're responding to, but I agree with their post.
In my opinion, mainstream American Conservativism fell from grace long before Trump. Coincidentally for the topic at hand, I believe it was when they made a pact with the evangelical Christian community that they lost their way.
An ideology can not support both small government and personal freedom and fight for banning abortions and gay marriage. They are, on their face, opposite beliefs, but the Republican party needed to bolster their base, and taking on the religious community was a marriage of necessity. Unfortunately any coherent message of actual Conservativism has been lost in that attempt.
Libertarianism was never "actual Conservatism." Real conservatives have been bemoaning the dominance of libertarians within the Republican Party for decades now. Actual conservatism means hierarchy and authority, crushing criminals, and enforcing public morality.
