There are people that do something very much parallel to this, but they are the people who can afford to hire elite, exclusive, low-client-load physicians who aren't on the short office meeting clock that common insurance reimbursement provides, and do similar things with other medical facilities.

It's just that it's not the middle class looking down on the working class over this, but a fairly narrow slice of the upper class looking down at the rest of society.
In that case you'd just point your feet down and miss ;-)

Adding a time axis to maps – Introducing Planet Explorer
Yes, it's real. I don't have a video and I don't have a metal workshop any more but you can easily try this yourself if you feel like it. For added speed you could add some sand, and if you're just interested in the effect mix some rocks with some wooden blocks, that will speed things up quite a bit.

It's similar to how river beds tend to round the stones that get moved around by the water. Those stones start out as sharp bits of rock.
If you are learning, then you should learn about rvm, bundler, gemsets, and vendoring gems. There are ways in Ruby to avoid stepping on your own feet with gems, simultaneously whilst avoiding stepping on others feet within in your own team(s) and on the same servers in a traditional Unix-type multi-tenant environment.

The central question solved by Bundler is "what version of the gem am I using?" and the core issue addressed by RVM is "what version of Ruby." If you are coming from a tradition of packages for your programming language interpreter that are managed by the OS, and similarly language module packages that come from the OS, and you expect that pattern to just work with Ruby, then yeah, you are quite likely going to have a bad time. Ruby handles these issues internally out of necessity.

It does so because for most of us taking this stuff very seriously, we need to be able to run the latest version of the gem (or, any given arbitrary version that our own production release engineering process has settled on) with our chosen OS Distro with the Long-Term Support release. Long term support releases (or, for example, Debian stable releases) use packages that are frozen to a version at a point in time and are likely to be at least a year old. If your gem solves a problem for you but it legitimately hasn't been updated in more than a year, chances are good it's because there's someone else who has made another gem, solving the problem in a better way, and people have already moved on.

There is simply no way to address this concern on arbitrarily many OS Distros simultaneously without solving it generally in a way that eschews the OS package manager altogether. When you're committed to solving the problem without the OS package manager's help, bringing it back into the loop is more likely to get in the way than to solve any actual problem. So you find a lot of outdated packages for ruby libraries in OS package managers, when they are even provided at all.

I'm not sure if GP had problems with Ruby because of reliance on OS package managers, but if I was a betting man...

How to Know When Products Actually Use AI
I've had solid success detecting bots with a really easy pattern--usage frequency. Humans don't make request after request for long periods of times, but bots almost all do. The time between requests is usually pretty consistent too, not a lot of humans wait X seconds between doing things. Or not take breaks (what are the odds a human has made a request every hour for 48 hours straight?).
Definitely, but there's plenty of ways to obtain legitimately without DRM, obtain legitimately and strip DRM or just straight up pirate books.

And the advantages from that point are excellent. I can read the same thing on my phone, e-reader or desktop, so it's a very fluid experience whatever I'm doing.

Someone ought to do a study on what the effects truly are.

Take a group of hospitals, randomly assign them to "continue insane hours for residents", "40-hour work-weeks and no more than 12-hour shifts" and maybe a third group somewhere in between. Run it for two years, and see what the effect on patients and doctors actually is.

Then will come the hard questions: if we see that these insane hours are literally killing patients, surely then it will make sense to end this madness?

No amount of EFI rootkit detection will ever remove the possibility that malicious code is running inside the Intel Management Engine (ME), because code inside the ME would run side-by-side with the bootloader and with unlimited permissions.

That's only a failure on the VC overall fund level, not the company or investor level. That investment is not a failure, even if the fund is. If most the investments are money losers, but this one "only" paid out %1000, it's still contributing towards making the fund pay out, even if it's not doing well enough to account for the losing investments. You wouldn't classify a stock that tripled in price over a few years as a failure, even if overall your portfolio was a failure, and this is the same thing.
Just found this on Product Hunt. What do you think?
Development tools often are, but almost never exclusively using ruby gems and it's certainly not a universal practice. ANd of course non-dev tools can't be distributed this way.
What's really bad is that the American medical establishment, including these doctors, seem to be defending this practice.

It'd be really interesting to see a good study comparing the rate of medical errors and resultant patient deaths/injuries in hospitals in the US and in other industrialized nations, and to also compare the hours worked between them.

Another thing that came up in the article is the problem of hand-over between doctors and medical teams, and that having ridiculously-long hours seems to be a patch to avoid all the problems that come from that. That sounds like an organizational and procedural problem: doctors and nurses aren't properly writing things down, or if they are, they're not writing them in a legible way.

I had a recent experience where I had to accompany a friend on an ER trip. Different doctors and nurses kept asking her, over and over throughout the lengthy visit, what she was there for, and to describe the symptoms. It was eerie; there seemed to be absolutely no information recording and usage by these people, it was like everything was all-new every time some new person came on the scene. It was also really strange how they kept telling her totally different and contradictory things: one nurse says she's not allowed to have any food or water (despite being parched), another nurse says this is wrong, etc. (She ended up drinking water out of the bathroom sink because she was so thirsty, and was there for a possible cardiac problem so electrolyte depletion certainly can't help.)

American ERs seem to be very scary, incompetently-run places.
On the contrary, that is a very good reason, and sometimes the only one that matters.

In any group of "n" developers there are likely to be "n+m" different ways to do the same thing. This increases the "cognitive load" to understand others' code (a fancy way of saying it makes the code hard to understand).

Personal preference is not a valid reason to eschew standards, even (especially) de-facto ones.

If there is a "better" way to accomplish a particular task, then the entire team should adopt it (and go back and change existing code to conform to the "better" approach). If that's not worth doing, then leave well-enough alone. (Another way of saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it").

This doesn't return things to the pre-duty-hours era. However, it does roll back specific limits that were created for first year residents (interns). When eventually studied, the interpretation that most of us had was that there is not a significant difference in patient care with these shorter hours. This is due to, we think, the tradeoff between a tired doctor who knows your current condition well, and better rested doctors who are handing off responsibility more often.
I agree with most things:

- Education goes at the bottom and tech skills at the top.

- Proficient and 'other' don't make much sense to me. I would actually remove the 'other' section, unless you are applying for a job in one of the technologies listed in that section.

- Remove the additional experience, it does not provide much value for a dev job.

- There is something with the resume that makes hard to get an idea of who you are and what you are looking for.

- Remove the word "technical" from technical projects, it's implicit if you are applying for a dev position.

Also make sure you tailor the resume for the position you are applying to. Ideally you should have a different version of your resume for each position you are applying.
That is exactly the reason. and is the main difference between Apache mode and Nginx mode in W3TC. The plugin needs to be able to create URL rewriting rules on the fly, and nginx gives them no sane way to do it.

Htaccess sucks for various reasons, but most of the suck can be worked around.
Those studies have been done and the results were counter-intuitive.

Yes, long shifts kill patients. But the other thing that kills patients are handovers -- one doctor forgetting to note or tell another doctor a crucial detail at shift change. Longer shifts mean fewer shift changes.
So... entirely fluff and nothing practical then?
I'd assume I'll throw the first one away, so no framework. Just use C# in a console. wasd+ is input. Game loop is update positions based on input, convert positions to an ascii 2d array, print ascii.

, 5th Earl of Leicester, is inserted here to clarify meaning, the same way you might insert a group identifier after a we. Perhaps it might seem less out of place if he used it at the beginning of the sentence, like:

Hi, Tom. Great post!

1) How do you synchronize features between micro-services? Each service may have a different state of the feature set during a request.

2) When you flip the feature on or off, how is that reflected in the UI? Does the UI tell you when the feature propagated to all services?

There are physicians who bill by items with set costs. They won't take insurance and you typically have to pay a yearly retainer fee.
Though not exactly as you described, something similar was done and published in 2016 (largely leading to this change, since there was not an increase in mortality risk)

One of the main challenges of course in this area is looking at patient outcomes with an incredible amount of potentially confounding variables, since "resident work hours" is just one of the many things that influence patient outcomes at a hospital.
Yeah this is an interesting area of research - I think the term you're looking for is deconvolution. Here's a document about some of the work done for Hubble in this regard (large PDF): http://www.stsci.edu/hst/HST_overview/documents/Restorationo...

However, my understanding is that you can improve things but you can't "truly" correct it, generally speaking, because the optical aberration causes information to be lost. eg. if point A on your mirror focuses to point A' on the resulting image, and point B on your mirror, due to an aberration, also focuses to A', there's no way to determine from the image which point on the mirror a photon came from.

This is why Hubble eventually needed a hardware fix... from the linked paper: "it is clear that many image restoration methods are highly successful at deriving images that 'look good' from HST data. These restored images may be qualitatively faithful to the true (unknown) image. However, for most astronomical purposes qualitative agreement with reality is not sufficient; we want quantitative agreement as well."
love the orwellian way this is spun as to how it is letting doctors do another 4 hours on top of the current pathetic 20. no @%^@%#$ way i'd let myself be diagnosed by someone 23 hours into their shift, let alone do a procedure requiring basic hand eye co-ordination.
My understanding is that a 10x return is what most vcs consider successful. At the very least, this investment had a major positive attribution in their port returns and they likely list it in their materials to LPs as a success.
