> I've seen patients spiraling down into an abyss of pain after repeated failed surgeries.

I think surgery is commonly seen as better than doing nothing. Someone I know has some deterioration from cortisone medications. He just heard that his neck implant didn't fail, now the next joint down is gone. He'd rather not have surgery again, but is rather miserable currently, and some doctors make their money by doing surgery...

Do you have any comments on Inertia in Medicine? Doctors try to stay up to date, but... well, cardiologists seem to resist acknowledging that statins don't actually help many patients, and psychiatrists are very resistant to admitting that antipsychotics prevent their patients from recovering from their psychotic episodes...

What does medicine do well, and how can use of practices and procedures with limited benefit be curtailed?
If by fake you mean "doesn't fit my narrative", sure. Seems to be produced by an expert and it's statements are slowly and surely being shown to be correct.

On the other hand Fox news (self described as entertainment, not news) and breitbart have built themselves around spreading demonstrably false stories, which undermines and reflects badly on all news.

I've found that getting to include the narrative is great when you're first writing it, and then for making small changes. But then, when something happens that changes your perspective on the problem, the structure of the narrative often needs to change substantially, while the structure of the code might not. And suddenly that formerly helpful narrative is a huge piece of legacy cruft that needs to be refactored... to support a few-line change in the actual code.

For that reason, I'm with you in that I try to write doc-comments that inject the narrative.
That javascript still must, at some point, no matter how complex, abstract or fancy it is, either call document.createElement or element.innerHTML.

Although I concede it's arguable whether or not this still counts as "just javascript," it's still true that, in the end, you wind up with just HTML, either machine generated or human generated.
At MindSpring (an ISP from long ago) everyone was required to listen to 8 hours of live tech support calls every month. I was the lead of the tools team and during one of my call sessions I came up with a feature to our log search tool that reduced our talk times by 20% across the board within a month's time.

I would have never came up with the feature without being on those calls.

No. At root you read and write the game's memory. Most aimbots just read the memory to get locations and call the game's own methods to adjust the aim from their injected dll. Barely any actually bother reading the screen, it's horribly inefficient and limited.
Very much agreed. I've lived in the bay area for 13 years, in apartments with at least 20 units in them (usually many more), and I have not known even one of my neighbors. Beyond that, I have a very healthy in-person social life filled with people I've met through other avenues. Even though you'd think it'd be easy to do so, I just don't have much interest in meeting the other people who live in my building.

This isn't universal, of course -- one of my good friends lives in a building with 4 units, and he knows everyone who lives there. Diff'rent strokes, I guess.

I wonder if knowing your neighbors is more of a suburban/rural/family thing? When I was growing up (suburbs of NJ and later MD), we always at least knew the people who lived on our block, even if we weren't close friends with them.

I'm not a game developer, so why is that horrible?
consider I have an array/map of my game objects and the rest only works with methods, so most stuff does not lie on the heap, well that means basically no strings, since they would add to heap memory aswell, but only using basic datatypes and arrays.

Contemporaries* of Cat Stevens, Richard and Linda Thompson also converted to Islam. In their case, however they continued to make music. Notably the first album produced after conversion is pretty much all about God and its cover art is a picture of Richard wearing a turban.

I find it interesting to contrast the joy of a track like "Night Comes In" with how humourless Cat Stevens became.

>Can you not set up the iPad to be in Japanese

It's complicated for a few reasons. First, my daughter is too young to read, and she won't be ready to read Japanese for a very long time since it's much more work to achieve literacy than for English.

Second, with iOS and the Apple ecosystem generally, you have to contend with arbitrary and draconian region lockout. It's not as simple as just switching the phone to a different language, you have to maintain a separate Apple ID to get content from Japanese stores, and in many cases, a Japanese credit card and/or bank account, and sometimes even a Japanese IP address!! Frustrating!

Third, I can't trust unsupervised use of the iPad the way I can with a TV set to the kid's channel, having seen the kind of filth that e.g. Youtube's autoplay will serve up.

>otherwise make sure to include the language in your life other ways?

A very interesting read. I developed chronic pain after a fairly minor injury (at least, now I can see it was minor) and then proceeded to waste 4 years on diagnosis and physical therapy and exercise that wasn't helping at all. My latest doctor did mention 'central sensitisation', but it wasn't suffuciently contextualised for me to do anything with that information.

I gave notice at my job of 4.5 years for unrelated reasons and had a complete reversal of pain within a couple of weeks.

While it is great to be out of that hell, it is completely terrifying that I wasn't able to recognize what was keeping me in pain.
Actually, I was trying to get at the fact that disciplines do operate like conversations: you can make an unsolicited contribution from outside to a philosophical discussion, but it's unlikely to be well received. The HN crowd probably has no difficulty seeing how this would be the case with e.g. (a recent example discussed here) "trisectors". Well, philosophy has its cranky outsiders too, up to and including Hawking (arrogantly?) declaring philosophy obsolete.

A self-driving car simulator would be interesting and maybe there's some chance at making it open source?

A self-driving sim, to be realistic, is also going to need realistic traffic simulation. I helped bring traffic modeling to the computer age, that is what my business did.

When asked for a quick description, I like to say that I built the greatest traffic simulator on the planet. Of course, I'm heavily biased. Eventually, we could even render some of that data into graphics.

Yeah, so it probably wasn't a thrilling simulator with broad appeal and it required a whole lot of compute power and huge data sets. Either way, it probably would have resulted in a good, albeit very large and computationally expensive, engine for a traffic simulating game.

I signed a non-compete that lasts for life. It may not actually be legally binding, but I feel ethically bound to it. But, a game would not be competing in that space - less so if it were FOSS.

What I'm trying to say is that I'd be interested in such a project, though I'd want to seek legal council. I can program a bit, but I eventually hired professionals to do that on my behalf. Let's just say that you probably don't want me submitting actual code, but I can almost certainly help with the math involved.

I'm just spitballing, really. If someone wants to do something like this, I'd be willing to take a peek and see if there were a way to contribute. I sold and retired, but I still hold great fondness for the art. Modeling traffic isn't easy, it's a chaotic system and you never really know the initial starting state.

So, if you decide to go FOSS, let me know. If it is in C, or C++, I might even remember enough to lend a hand coding, though that's probably a horrible idea. My entire code base was rewritten by actual competent people and programmers were different back then. They were quite comfortable expressing their frustrations with working on my existing code. They were, shall we say, very eager to share their knowledge - sometimes with various levels of vulgarity.

Anyhow, to model traffic at a high level of accuracy, even things like the reflectivity of lane markings will have a quantifiable impact on traffic. You can observe the effect by monitoring traffic before and after lane markings are painted. Traffic is even influenced by the fonts used in signage. Lots of seemingly small things can be accounted for and the models made more accurate.

I'd love to lend a hand, assuming it isn't going to get me sued.
It might not be that bad, actually (unless you open it up).

Even cheap butyl gaskets will do a good job keeping out the constituents of a standard air mixture of gases. Any He leakage would thus cause a pressure differential, which will tend to prevent further outleakage of He (by countering the entropy gain from mixing He with the air outside).

HTML & CSS were good for the early web, when it was a simple document layout platform. They're not ideal for building rich UIs and applications. Just because they've been extended to allow that doesn't mean they are the best tool for the job. Similarly, Excel is abused to do all sorts of things it's not intended for as well, when there are better options for databases, financial applications and data science.
I have a PS3. I had Amazon Prime Video for a year. Didn't renew it. The interface is utterly dreadful in comparison to Netflix's. Not only is it constantly spamming you with stuff that costs extra, not only is it impossible to find what you're looking for, the player itself is pretty ropey.

Provide me with a service that lets me add HBO or Showtime to a Netflix-level interface, then we'll talk.

> ""Open Source" at best weakens this tool, and as we've seen today, spreads confusion."

How does it spread confusion? How does it weaken free software? Open source and free software are just two different approaches to collaborative software development. There's no confusion in my mind about the benefits they both offer.

As for the GPL as a weapon, there's a reason why GPL is falling out of favour. If open source did not exist, most companies simply wouldn't bother sharing source code. How would that help you?
Popcorn time comes to mind. It's a quality service based on piracy. But personally I'd rather be legit and pay a bit more in effort or money.

One of the authors here. It can be used for realtime analysis. The data is updated using a parser program which performs incremental updates. Adding a single block is extremely rapid. Running this repeatedly (for instance using a cron job) will keep the data up to date. I'm planning on adding a daemon mode in the next version to simplify the process of live updates.
Zenith is also debuting a new material for the case: a composite called Aeronith. Aeronith is essentially an aluminum foam; melted aluminum is poured into a mold "where a procedure initially developed by Hublot transforms it into an open pore metal foam," according to Zenith. The voids in the foam are then filled with an "extremely light polymer" and the result is 2.7 times lighter than titanium, 1.7 times lighter than solid aluminum, and even 10% lighter than carbon fiber..

The CPU info appears in the same place each time, assuming no other changes took place.
Even if something did it would effect only it's relative position.

The initial blob of CPU info, sure. I never really argued otherwise other than to say the log file is unstructured data and the relevant CPU information is not grouped together.

# grep -n CPUs /var/run/dmesg.boot
21:FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 4 CPUs

I don't have a ton of other FreeBSD machines handy to check. Is the number of cpus always line 21 of the dmesg.boot log? I mean sure, if it is there is some consistency there but that information isn't grouped with the other.

And yes the extra info provided by lscpu is very irrelevant for nearly all use cases.

Maybe for your use cases? Seems a little presumptuous to declare what information is irrelevant for other people's use cases.

Sure, but if your argument is that you can't easily do this without the reinvention of the wheel, I disagree.

That wasn't my argument at all.
I'm a technical lead. I'd rather like to have the opportunity to listen to some support calls as it's not an area that I'm good in. It's never a bad thing to learn what your co-workers might face during their day, even if you think all they do is make your work life harder. The better we know each other and our customers, the better we can help each other to resolve day-to-day problems. If you don't care about your customers problems, you probably shouldn't be making their tools.

Lots of things are taxed in multiple ways. Income tax and sales tax, or employee and employer FICA for instance.

The tax structure should generally be simpler, but choosing to tax or not tax particular activities is hardly criminal, especially if the intent is to reduce the attractiveness of those activities (tobacco and alcohol come to mind, in addition to gambling)

I don't buy your observation that all big-corps are kind of equally sloppy security-wise. Here are 2 examples:

- Equifax login form does not use STS header.
- equifax.com/business exposes full server version (Server:Apache/2.4.27 (Win64) OpenSSL/1.1.0f mod_log_rotate/1.0.0)

I'm not a security person but those 2 seems way out of industry standards for security-aware web services.
At the time it was "on GitHub" -- regardless of the presence of a LICENSE file -- was your intention that it be considered and/or treated as "open source"?

I don't use Caddy and never have so I'm mostly a disinterested third-party so it doesn't matter to me either way. I'm more curious if you honestly never intended it to be open source or if you're simply using the fact (now, later, when it's convenient) that a LICENSE file was never explicitly included as an "out".

Or you think it's a necessary prerequisite to succeed in some of your ideas?

Counterintuitively, this is evidence that the Equifax breach isn't necessarily going to cause massive harm. If someone wanted to impersonate you, they could already.

I remain hopeful that the full list of 140M SSNs will be posted in full. It's a rare opportunity: if that happens, the US will have no choice but to finally switch to a new system. One that doesn't rely on SSNs being private. That's the absurdity. It is easy to steal your identity because we have allowed it to be easy.

It's going to be difficult to switch to a new system, but the pain will be worth it. Imagine if the author could finally have peace of mind because nobody could impersonate him.

That is a fairytale, admittedly. It's always going to be possible to steal someone's identity if you're determined. But just look how trivial it is right now. Your driver's license plus the thief's photo is all they need. And it's possible to forge: they don't even need to swipe your physical one.

Those are “the keys to the kingdom,” said Bo Holland, CEO of AllClear ID, an identity-monitoring service. “Once you have somebody's name, social, birth date, and address, you can go and open new accounts.”

The SSN shouldn't be the critical key in that list.

There was a comment here by one 'minitel' (a new, probably throw-away account) on Foucault's support for the Iranian revolution and the fact that the post-modern movement - for whom Foucault is one of the prime thinkers - is currently making headway into academia, mostly within the humanities but their reach seems to be spreading. Given that this article deals with Foucault it is relevant to identify where Foucalt's work currently stands in society. The author pointed at Jordan Peterson - a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto who ended up as the focal point of a discussion on the use of 'gender-neutral' pronouns due to his refusal to use what he described as politically-motivated, state-mandated non-sensical words. Peterson has gone on a crusade against postmodernism which he claims to be an extension of Marxism. For those who want to inform themselves on the criticism against postmodernism Peterson's explanations are a good starting point. He gave a lecture at Harvard titled "Mask of Compassion, Post-modernism and neo-marxism" where he clearly sets out his criticism against this philosophy:

Modern Chinese would write 感冒 (gan mao; 'have a cold') instead. Much simpler to remember. Besides, they could send an audio message on WeChat, which functions like a global distributed walkie-talkie, or type it in pinyin, at which point the computer would auto-guess the characters and they'd only have to remember vaguely whether those characters "looked right" with some general degree of confidence, which is exactly how I input them myself. If they really had to write, they'd use the same method on their cellphone then copy the characters over. If the reader couldn't recognize the characters, an OCR system on their phone could do it for them. In short: through technology, this is now a solved problem.
