So you're saying that the splitters are split into two groups? One group which knows when it's a good time to split, and the other group which doesn't?,

How much money (hourly) are you offering and how much does your product cost?

I'd be willing to accept $100/hr from someone I'm paying $100/month to, but I wouldn't care for $25/hr from someone I'm paying $25/year to.

The good old "Statistics don't apply to an individual"

Financial security is the reason - if people don't have financial security, they'll expect their children to care for them in their old age when they're unable to earn. That's the case in most (all?) immigrants cultures - children are expected to, and do, take care of their parents in their old age (exceptions are always there ofc).

After families are established and have financial security, they no longer need to rely on their children in their old age - at which point it becomes a choice.

Perhaps - 1) The people in the richer society are exposed to more ideas and options than the people in poorer societies, which makes them evaluate having/not having children vs "have them because everyone does it" 2) The people in richer societies have a social security net/wealth to fall back on in their old age, whereas the poorer societies are always "hand to mouth" without having the luxury of any retirement savings - all their time and energy goes just for basic survival - and they need children to support them in their old age.

I'm in the same position with the same question.

Personally, I'm planning to learn about the internal implementation of databas(es), starting with the book Designing Data Intensive Applications. This is so that I learn about the current ways data is stored

Yep, felt the same.

I cope by reminding myself that I shouldn't compare my personal knowledge with the combined knowledge of a community - multiple people here are knowledgeable about and post about different areas

I was diagnosed at 29.

FWIW, this is exactly what it's like for me too - "Not enough stimulation and I get distracted easily, too much stimulation and I shut down completely."

Is this pattern of responses from him, the same to everyone, or just to you?

If it's the former, it's probably just them and not office politics.

Their answer sounds fine to me.

Stack trace usually means a full stack trace. I've rarely seen one in production - it's usually for unhandled errors. Usually it'll be a one line log which will point you to the point in code where it's erroring out.

Sounds like you just want the logs for the [microservice] for a particular failing request, and not the stack trace?

It'd be bad communication on both sides, here.

I think it's an apt analogy. If the store manager has never seen you before, the store manager would not know who you are at all unless you introduce yourself.

The only thing they would learn about you would be characteristics like height/weight/voice/tattoos etc - your IP address - and could use it to correlate you if seeing you in the future

We recently got Liraglutide for a family member and it's worked wonders. (It's an alternative to semaglutide, and only available as an injection). They've lost weight for the first time at age 64, mostly because they just don't feel hungry all the time anymore. They're super happy to see the stretch marks on their belly.

It costs around INR 12,500/month though for a total of 3 injections, after a 20% discount, which is super expensive. (For comparison, a strip of 15 tablets of Hydroxychloroquine costs INR 110, and all their other medicines for diabetes, hypertension, depression, insulin etc cost INR 6000/month combined). And insurance doesn't cover any medication here unless it's 30-60 days pre/post hospitalization.

There's quite a few VPNs who have been asked to keep logs by the authorities but the VPN providers contest it in court, and since their jurisdiction laws don't need them to, the courts side with the VPN providers.

Mullad, OVPN are a couple.

What are your opinions on those? Not every country has laws like USA/India, which give the government free reign by citing certain Acts.

This thing is pretty common in India for fresh graduates joining big MNCs.

They usually have to stay at the company for 1-3 years, and pay a "training amount" if they leave before that.

Two things - First - I learn how the data flows from the source to the end. That teaches me to navigate the codebase entirely. (User action to database, or source data to end data etc.

Second - I learn how different components are wired together.
