We mostly use recruiters now

I don't understand why they killed their job board. We used to pay them a few hundreds a month for a a couple of job ads that we were quite happy with. But then they "decided to focus on enabling our community of developers and technologists to discover and learn about companies rather than just giving them a way to apply to an open role." Which meant they became a platform for recruiters that can spend monthly 10Ks+. That killed Stack Overflow for me.

Unfortunately this person graduating from a Western European uni, could not even grasp the algorithm for creating a count down timer.

They asked me for career advice. I wonder whether the jobs that require only this level of copy and pasting skills would thrive or die in the AI era.

Based on my experience traveling between Europe, Middle East and Asia:

- for return flights I always get different fares based on the origin. At least for the airlines that I travel with it does not matter what my IP is, but where my origin is.

- depending on the airline or the hotel booking service, I get higher fares if I book with an iPhone (including their apps) or a Mac comparing to when I spoof my user agent to Windows. The difference can be substantial.

- for hotel bookings, my IP location used to make a big difference. I guess these days the services just became better at finger printing and detecting VPNs.

Four. Using pm2. But it is a overkill. This server is running other applications next to my node server.

For what it is worth, I am handling about 130k views and registering ~1k paying users per day with a t2.large instance server running node, redis and nginx behind a free tier Cloudflare proxy, a db.t2.small running postgres 14, plus CloudFront and S3 for hosting static assets.

Everything is recorded in the database and a few pgcron jobs aggregate the data for analytics and reporting purposes every few minutes.

I fully recommend this. The fp-ts is quite readable for JavaScript. Combine it with io-ts and you have a robust way of handling user inputs:

    pipe(
      decoder.decode(req.body)
      , E.mapLeft(_ex => new InputValidationError(decoder.decode(req.body)))
      , RTE.fromEither
      , RTE.chain(handleInput)
      , RTE.match(
        error => {
          res.status(500);
          res.send(error)
        },
        result =>  {
          res.send(result)
        }
      )
    )(reader)

I've been a frequent flyer of Emirates for the past ~ six years. From my perspective, the airline suddenly changed about three years ago. The quality of their service dropped and still every time that I take an EK flight, I notice something else is missing from the service. Flying Emirates does not have any glory anymore.

Off topic, but this is a code smell for me: [(int) Math.round(Math.random() * (userAgents.length - 1))]); This leads to a lower probability of selecting the 0th and the last items in the array.

Deezer has added a "don't recommend this song again" button. I used a couple of times only but I feel that my recommendations have been indeed improved.

Before, I had to skip the songs that I did not like, and Deezer was keep putting them back in my 'Flow' a few days later. That was pretty annoying.

Non-breaking space is very important for languages like Arabic and Farsi. Changing a non-breaking space to a normal space in some sequence of characters, may change the meaning of the word in these language.

How long does it take to vaccinate the whole population?

I did not look for better sources, but I read in this [1] CNN post that in 2021: AZ is producing 3 billion doses, Pfizer 1.3B and Moderna less than 1B.

So in total we are going to have 5 billion doses in 2021. Each person requires two doses. So we end up vaccinating around one third of the world's population. It seems to me even at the end of 2021 our lives will be still far from "normal".

Are there other promising vaccines on the way?

Haskell's killer feature here is higher kinded types. do notation is just a syntactic sugar. But (with the exception of Scala or PureScript) almost no other every-day language supports the ability for defining abstractions over higher kinded constructs like monads.

For advertisers, the fact that people that may never click on any banner ad, are blocking the ads on the internet is not a bad thing per se.

Once they got a click, they know that this user does not have an ad blocker so is less tech savvy, and more susceptible to be influenced by marketing.

Click through rates and conversion rates have increased on desktop traffic in the past few fears.
