Yeah, it has always irritated me that most modern IDE's require a plugin or a poor quality built in terminal to give simple 'jump to error location' messages. It is a lot of fun to have magic shortcuts in any window on the whole OS with minimal program specific code.

I have wanted this functionality on linux/BSD since I saw Russ Cox do it in acme on plan9(port), I just didn't really have the will power to pull in a whole OS userspace on top of my current one.
I disagree with the "progress" part. Git is still the 2005 state of the art, and in parts not even that (it took until 2015 to even support something as basic as multiple checkouts of the same repository via `git worktree`).

Git is generally not very suitable for new features, because the repository format is very restrictive and has no room for adding new metadata (it's not impossible, but it's always going to be a hack).

Most actual progress in version control has happened in systems other than Git, both open source and commercial (what Git has gotten is a lot more polish and ecosystem integration).

My general criticism of Git isn't that it's bad, but that it's the lowest common denominator of modern version control and has resulted in technology being locked in to yesterday's state. At the same time, it's awfully complicated for how relatively basic its feature set is. It is not a bad tool, but it's not a particularly attractive one, either.

Also:

> It took a while to get there, we had to suffer through decades of crappy source control systems until we eventually stumbled upon a good one.

Umm, what? Git wasn't the first attempt at improving upon CVS or SVN, and was arguably in some aspects worse than some of its predecessors (it often had higher implementation quality, but in terms of features it was also often a step backwards). I think lots of people are not familiar with PRCS (including the specced-out, but never implemented PRCS2), GNU arch, Monotone, or Darcs, not counting commercial or more esoteric ones.

> The number of bugs are proportional to the lines of code, this is undeniable from empirical data. Ergo, fewer lines of code will tend to yield fewer bugs. So if your code is literally the same, there's no reason not to extract it into a function.

Code sharing often increase coupling and the coupling can be at odds with naive attempts at achieving DRY. The real world is not as simple as this makes it out to be.

You are right more code means more bugs, but more code might also be the difference between a viable product and one that hasn't been built yet because everybody is locked into DRY bureaucratic hell. As in everything, there's a balancing act that needs to be performed and that requires judgement and experience.
> Actually $250,000 is the net salary after all expenses

It's not. The article says that, but it's flat out wrong - even the source that the article links contradicts this claim.

> For employed physicians, patient-care compensation includes salary, bonus, and profit-sharing contributions. For partners, this includes earnings after taxes and deductible business expenses but before income tax.

The author of the article clearly doesn't know that "deductible business expenses" covers only a tiny fraction of the business expenses that physicians are expected to pay - most are not deductible.

Brexit?

Helpfully Brexit is a multi-faceted movement, so you can't pin down people as supporting or opposing any particular policy. But it seems a large part of it was driven by opposition to "eastern europeans" - who are in the UK legally under freedom of movement.

If Brexit happens without a new rule being introduced, suddenly millions of people who legally immigrated to the UK will become "illegal". (They can try the naturalisation process, which is long, expensive, not at all guaranteed to succeed, and closed to many categories of people)
> unless you think that hospitals would willingly refuse to do something that's clearly profitable for them.

The original claim you were responding to was that a doctors guild artificially limits the number of doctors available by capping the number of medical schools, the implication being that it leads to higher a demand for doctors and thus higher prices.

Granted that it's a lack of residencies and not medical schools that creates the demand, is creating artificial demand not a reason why hospitals might willingly refuse to do something that's clearly profitable for them?

Are you disagreeing with the OP only on who is creating the artificial demand?

People are getting all caught up on the idea of censorship here but it is really about what Twitter is, and what does it want to be.

Does Twitter want to be a dumb pipe where it doesn't do anything at all about what people post? If that is the case, then yeah, don't do anything about bots, trolls, harassment/abuse, etc.

Is Twitter actually an online community? If that is what they want it to be, then it will need at least some mechanisms to deal with toxic users.

Maybe that's just giving users robust tools for filtering what they want to see. Maybe you could use sentiment analysis to give people the ability to block certain types of tweets from reaching them. And indeed, they already have some of that with the 'sensitive content' setting on images and video.

The author here wants to go further into a reputation system, which may or may not be the right choice for Twitter. That seems to be a harder thing to do technically, but I'm pretty sure they could come up with something that tones down the impact of the worst abuse.

At the end of the day, if a general public social media platform becomes too toxic for too many users, it probably won't survive. And that's not even getting into the real world consequences that we're starting to see from foreign intelligence services attempting to manipulate them.

The article failed to mention the high cost of medical school, high interest rates for loans, and being phased out of interest deductions from earnings (which are capped quite low IMO to being with). My wife attended a Big 10 university medical school, costing around 50K/year, graduating with around 200K of debt, added to her 50K of undergrad debt, deferred through most of training, making 50-60K as a resident and fellow, looking at a 2000+/month expense for P&I on those loans. We've re-financed it, but the rates are still quite high relative to car loans, home mortgage etc., so of course this reality of essentially carrying a second mortgage of debt, was a factor in her choosing to go into a specialty, with additional training (fellowship), and moving to a lower cost, higher demand (higher wage) area. We pay 15K+ INTEREST annually on those loans and we are phased out from deducting any of that. If undergrad was less expensive, or free as it is in other countries, if med school was less expensive, doctors could enjoy the same quality of life with less salary.

You're right, a lot of this is an education problem.

Many (including myself) have for years thought that this wasn't a problem. How did we get along before this?

But there are dozens of cases before NN was codified, where ISPs were blocking and slowing down traffic. One of the most high profile was how Comcast was slowing down Netflix in the NY Metro Area.

After the rules went into place, Netflix speeds just magically increased, and Comcast said it was a coincidence. Uh huh, sure.

Overdraw actually matters quite a bit for integrated GPUs, especially on HiDPI. On high-end NVIDIA or AMD GPUs, sure, 2D overdraw doesn't matter too much. But when power is a concern, you don't want to be running on the discrete GPU, so it's worth optimizing overdraw.
I'm the founder of ZeroTier and just saw this article. I've spoken to Bob a few times in the past and while we appreciate the mention there wasn't any coordination. (We'd have timed it to not be right before a holiday. :)

I think what he's arguing is that fully encrypted p2p overlay networks would be the next step beyond privacy VPNs, and would be more powerful. Basically if we "encrypt all the things" then ISPs will only see opaque encrypted traffic and will be unable to effectively implement really fine-grained traffic prioritization/de-prioritization.

What he suggests would be possible. People and services could join public ZeroTier networks and you'd have this flat "meta-Internet" where everything was encrypted and all traffic looked the same.

I don't think this is a silver bullet. ISPs can still make deals with big players like Netflix, Google, Facebook, etc. and offer them at a higher speed on the "clearnet." Other traffic would be relegated to the "other" category that would be slow-laned on non-premium plans. This applies to more conventional privacy VPNs and anything else just as much as it applies to ZeroTier.
And yet, when I was the victim of a hit and run incident in central London we were unable to locate a single working camera that could provide any usable evidence.

The vast majority either do not work, or are privately owned and when enquired about (difficult in itself as there are so many parties to contact once the owner is identified, and they likely do not have direct access and need to speak to someone else) have extremely useless retention periods that meant no footage survived enough time to request it.

No, I would bifurcate research into two classes --

Let's call it 'science' and 'hunches'. (I'm sure marketing people would think of a better name.) There's nothing stopping you from publishing hunches; there's nothing stopping the same journals from publishing science and hunches. It would just be the case that we'd treat publishing a hunch as science as fraud, because you're outright lying about how sure you are.

It is the case that several fields would get (almost entirely) moved from science to hunches, but that would be good! The label will match what's inside.

If we have this split in the product lines, if we have these two tiers (models where we're really sure and complex systems where we only have a working hunch), then we should just own it and put that on the tin.

All I'm asking is people stop labeling composite wood as lumber -- and understandably, a lot of people selling composites act like that would make the sky fall.

Hardly, there's a real demand for both products and both serve a real need. Let's just be honest in our marketing and stop conflating the two.
Resistance to Being Productive
That's largely a UI issue. Look at Bazaar's hierarchical logs, for example [1]. I call it largely a UI issue because:

1. You can run `bzr log` on a git repository (with the bzr-git plugin). Hence it's a UI issue.

2. That operation still takes O(history size) time, because git repositories lack the necessary metadata to make the operation fast (hence: "largely" a UI issue).

Why talk about reality in terms of stories and angles? Why not talk in terms of facts and truths? You speak as if it is better to blame an insurance company rather then your doctor buddies because of a narrative. Are we so weak that we can't take the truth at face value?

These are the facts:
1. Doctors the US are paid more than doctors in other countries.
2. Medical care in the US is lowest in quality among most 1st world countries.

There is a logical outcome from these two facts: The high bar required to enter medical school or residency does not produce better doctors.

The other thing that gets me is why are we attacking insurance? Obama did it. It didn't work. You know logically if health insurance companies are all so evil, a good business startup idea would be to form a company that isn't so evil and cheap. This company will of course out compete all other insurance companies, by being the first cheap and moral insurance company! What a genius idea. Sounds really similar to obamas plan of simply using the federal government to enforce some moral principles onto the whole industry.

Maybe none of this works because insurance companies are already operating on edge. To stay competitive and offer customers competitive premiums they have to screw over people asking for claims. Maybe this occurs because medical costs in the US are too high? Why are all these costs so high? Probably to payoff someones' super high salary...

Look. Every medical cost in the us from insurance to hospital bills is higher than other countries. In terms of regulation the only difference between us and other 1st world countries is the supply of doctors and the supply of medicine.

The united states places the most restrictive cartel policies on these two areas. All other problems in the medical world stem from these policies.
So I take it there is data that the reduction from 24 hours to 16 hours that occurred a while ago resulted in a lower standard of care? Can you show it to me?

As an engineer, I used to think I didn't have what it takes to work long hours. After about 5-6pm, I'd start making mistakes, and my productivity would be roughly halved. I'd occasionally come in the next day and realize I had screwed up and would spend the morning redoing the work I did after 5pm the previous day.

Then I once stayed at work late not for my project, but to help other coworkers who I thought "had what it takes". It was insightful to see they made the same number of errors that I did, and had I not been there, they would have had to redo the work the following morning as well.

This is especially true for simple, tedious work, which a lot of medicine is about (at least at the nursing level). Things like administering medications.

I'd like to know what magic they use when training doctors in their residency to avoid such errors that other industries have not been able to master.

Interesting, thanks for the info! Though from the article about the system (https://genode.org/documentation/developer-resources/package...), it's not clear to me how to:

a) tweak compilation flags of libraries & apps

b) describe full set of runtime config files of an app

and thus build a single full configuration of a whole system, like in NixOS.

Hm; or can this maybe somehow be solved with the "run scripts" mentioned at the end of the article? I'm even less than a noob with regards to Genode, so I'm not sure about that.

Or does the package manager only provide Nix-like functionality, with no way for NixOS-like features?

I tried it out and the UI is poor. Things like clicking buttons don't result in any user-visible action, like a page loading, or even something bad (but not as terrible as nothing) like the button changing contents -- a couple of seconds later the next step happens. This means clicking is click, hope for the best, wait 300ms, get bored, click again, give up. Same for the search, type in a term, the list of icons disappears, and is repopulated when matches are found -- unless no matches are found then nothing happens, you have to wait until you are pretty certain that the blank icon area means no matches and not searching.
