How do you actually asses that the cause of death is coal vs cigarette smoke vs car exaust? Is only cancer of respiratory system taken into account? Is a percentage of stroke victims also? How is that percentage chosen?

I've been using lately https://booky.io/ . I'm not affiliated in anyway with them. It's currently missing a global bookmark search though.

What field of programming have you implemented that? I'm curios, is it in kernel development, some DB design. Not trolling, just curios where that usecase where this would come in handy and why ask it if it's not a direct relation to what you are doing.

Not to mention how hard is to have a standardization. Doesn't do any good if the data is not guaranteed to have been measured in somewhat similar conditions. Thinking about my cholesterol. I've seen so much fluctuation on my own blood results between labs. They blame it on the "bad chemical reactives". And that is even a somewhat standardized numerical values, but what about subjective symptom: "I have a sand in eye sensation". For ML this must be translated to a numerical value. Does it feel like a 1 or a 1,5 sensation out of 10, how can we make sure we have the same understanding?

I agree with what you are saying, however tape over the camera means you don't trust the OS or the hardware manufacturer with a console command like modprobe to actually do it's thing and disable the web camera.

A static type system makes code self documenting, easier to refactor and more maintainable

Does he have some custom build network router that he trust? Putting tape over your camera means you know enough to not trust the laptop hardware neither the OS or browsers like you said.

But he says: "We use .. Sonos system with Spotify for music, a Samsung TV, a Nest cam for Max". So all of his appliances do get outside. I did a double-take on Nest cam. So he's streaming videos from his house on the internet with a closed source hw and software.

Rather what the hell happened to the guy that had tape on his laptop camera and microphone. Suddenly he's got an always on listening device. How does one go from one to the other?

I lost it when the guy said don't use an IDE. What's the point of having a static type system when I can't use an IDE to see where a specific method is called.

Guess you don't care for the high probability that the user has already the CSS in local cache .

I've found https://github.com/logstash/logstash-logback-encoder pretty sufficient for this as it helps generate json logs with extra custom fields based on SFL4J log statements. You can use it's layout to send the json formatted logs to other endpoints not just logback. It's actually being used like that to send to kafka in https://github.com/danielwegener/logback-kafka-appender

Funny thing is that I use Scaleway also, and did not have any problems registering a credit card with them. Since online.net and scaleway seem to be the same or related somehow, maybe they should copy-paste the CC validation code from them or allow login with the same user.

Same for me. I wanted to use them two weeks ago but could not get passed it. I just gave up on 3rd card attempt. And btw why can't they support pay-pall? It always makes me uneasy to pass in the credit card details directly on a site.

Yes.

Joke aside, at least in hiring people it should.
