ETS interactions can be modeled as sending calls to a database server (but faster), you can use the debugging hooks to list all the calls to ets too.

My recommendation is to not do database reads and writes willy nilly all over the place, but to actually send sensible messages to a real server process, that does the interfacing with the database. Sometimes, it's useful to cheat and read ets directly, but it's really nice for writes to go through a server process, because the server process's mailbox provides an ordering for your writes, and you get to skip all the complexity of overlapping writes. In an mnesia system, that means writes should go to only one of the peers. (If you can divy up the writes to different servers based on the keys or something, then you can also divy up the servers onto different nodes).

All that said, distributed systems give rise to emergent behavior, but that's true if you program them in erlang, c, or assembly; it's just a little easier to get to crazy big systems in erlang. :)
I've been experimenting with this a lot. My code is all public still because I haven't made any giant gains or anything. But I have seen some success here and there.

What media outlets do you recommend that we look to for a more accurate assessment?
>I suspect the hardest part of doing that would be simply that you don't fit into their pre-existing categories.

You can put any classified ad in any category you want; the newspapers don't care.

I'm not a doctor, and you might want to talk to one. Have said that...

One overall health trick I wish I had started doing when I was younger is fasting. Over the last 10 years, I've done maybe 2 dozen fasts of 3 days or longer. I've done 3 fasts of 7 days or more. It helps to clarify things mentally, not so much during the fast, as afterwards.

Whether exercise is an answer really depends on what kind of depression you have. If you suffer mostly from lethargy, then you probably aren't able to exercise. In that case it's probably best to see a doctor, and perhaps take anti-depressants.

If your depression mostly consists of bleakness/sadness, exercise might help, or it can make things more intense. Therapy can help, if you can find the right therapist.
> (along with medical tourism to foreign countries where procedures are also clearly priced, and even cheaper)

The thing that is really bizarre to me is that I've more than once seen people quite prices for non-emergency procedures in the US that are more expensive than taking a business class flight to London, checking into a high end hotel and getting treated at a top private hospital targeting mostly rich people... Of course it's less convenient than being treated near your home, but the difference can be significant.
Yes, but that is the only thing I check. If I have a choice between two in-network providers I don't even ask about price.
Well, let's not forget that a significant percentage of the "decentralized" bitcoin mining network, operates out of China[0].

Currently BTC.COM[1] and AntPool[2] combined make up 42.5% of the network and both are both owned by Bitmain, a company headquartered in Beijing.

ViaBTC[3] is also a Chinese mining company operating out of Shenzhen and has 10.1%. I'm not going to bother checking the rest since that's already 52.6% of the network controlled by 2 companies under 1 authoritarian regime.

Keyboard working here without issue. Noticed a couple issues earlier on, but discovered was from a couple crumbs. If there were a major issue affecting nearly everyone there would have been a recall or constantly news cycle about it. So I don't think the answer is for others to not buy a MBP because 'you' and some others are experiencing issues. Instead, I'd recommend you and others affected bring it into get fixed.

That being said, I'm sure the keyboards will continue to improve with each generation, albeit with compromises such as to get thinner they change the key styling and eventually will be touch only with haptic feedback (which I'm not excited for) but will be inevitable.

I don't think the devs, they had remaining, could keep up with all of the osbourning they were doing.
> Like list prices are often incredibly far removed from the actual dollars paid, and the actual amount paid is all dependent on insurer contracts.

I just had $5k worth of bills from the birth of my last child (the amount wasn't surprising, pretty much exactly what the insurance estimated for standard pregnancy).

I called, credit card in hand, and asked if they have any discounts for paying on time. They gave me a 35% discount on the spot!

It still feels vaguely like insurance fraud because the $5k amount is what is going towards the deductibles...
I think this is the issue that should push us all toward a single-payer, government-backed system. The fact that we all (or our employers) pay a ridiculous amount for health insurance each month, PLUS end up paying out of pocket a high amount anyway as our health insurance really only kicks in once there is an extreme situation (emergency, chronic illness). And as a consumer I am stuck in the middle of it, with there being no competition but no recourse either.

Well.. I'm trying :) Still backtesting, building my system, etc.. But I have high hopes.

I'm curious to learn more about your clinic. Mind sharing any information?
Quick browse seems to be like so:

1. Client generates necessary files (including keys and payloads).

2. Encrypted payload is placed on IPFS.

3. Keys are placed on a trusted published (potentially single point of failure).

4. A smart contract running on the EVM continuously checks for pings from clients. If client doesn't check in over some pre-defined policy, then trusted published will be aware and publish keys to the smart contract, visible to everyone.

Hospital billing is incredibly murky.

1 - I'd imagine the price they will post is similar to an airline's full fare, refundable ticket price. The price actually paid is quite different and related to the negotiated rates with your insurer and your deductible.

2 - Hospital billing is often separated from physician billing. Does price transparency extend to all physician groups?

3 - Patients care about total out of pocket expense. How much is it going to cost me? Hospitals can't know this because they are not privy to your health plan structure/details - they only know their negotiated rates. Your health plan doesn't know it, because it hasn't received the full details of your treatment.

Was given one of these at work, the keyboard started failing within a week of taking it out of the box, some of my keys click much louder than others. My - key has been stuck twice while editing this comment, my ISO enter key has a dead zone and has failed to click once while typing this comment.

This machine isn't even 6 months old and it feels rickety and unreliable because of this design disaster of a keyboard, I wish I was over-reacting.

I will not be buying another Apple machine until this keyboard is reverted, I can't imagine dropping thousands of my own money and having such an unreliable janky input device.
I'm not a huge fan of the keyboard on my late 2016 MBP 15" myself (I would prefer the previous version, the buttons don't have the nice "clicky" sound anymore) but it has been rock solid ever since I got the laptop (November 2016) and has been in constant use since then (8+ hours every day).

Depends on why you're depressed.

If there's a chemical component, well, you either address that chemically, or you try to fix everything else and live with what remains.

From a general "life circumstances" perspective, exercise, as jppope said. For myself, I like ultimate frisbee. It's social, and it has a free-flowing, read-and-react style of play that's a very healthy break from how I normally operate.

I find that light helps me (I may suffer from seasonal affective disorder).

Psychologically, one view is that anger signals a blocked goal, and depression signals an impossible goal. If that's what's going on, it might be worth figuring out what the impossible goal is. If it's truly impossible, the only thing left is to let go of it as a goal.

Some people find meditation to be helpful (or prayer, if you believe that God exists).
Are the feature comparison tables in this article supposed to reflect the state of SQL databases as of several years ago?

I've been using Postgres very consistently for the past half decade (as a dev, not a DBA) and it's had a `GROUP BY` and `WHERE` clause for at least as long.

I'm not totally sure what "base table `UNIQUE`" is supposed to mean in this context, but if it's just the bare `UNIQUE` constraint, Postgres has also had that for a long, long while.

I most fit in bucket #1. I have a non-STEM degree and (aside from a few CS classes) have been self taught, and primarily working with early stage startups and small companies.

I worked at a mom & pop business, 2 small web agencies, and one startup. The last three companies outsource a lot of their development work and I don't have much physical contact with other developers on the job.

The situation with long term unemployed is an interesting one. Seems like some employers have a "triage" system with applicants, where they put the long term unemployed under the "unlikely to work regardless of treatment". I'm also aware that more CS grads and bootcamp grads are entering the workforce so they might find some of my skills only comparable to them and prefer them as a choice. Experience depreciates so quickly in this field, it seems.

Another option is to go back to college to get a BS in CS (or maybe ECE since I have an interest in low-level stuff) and somehow manage it full-time attending in person while also being able to pay all of my bills.

netflix starts it's own high end theaters. Think how rad that would be that maybe they hold back on a season finale of a show and you see the last one in a theater. Then the next day it releases on the service. Get to be around a bunch of people chatting about theories. Or something along those lines. Upgrade your account package to include seeing stuff in their venues. Make it an experience around their flagship shows. I'd go.
The analogy I would use:

In card games like Magic or Hearthstone, there's a lot of randomness. Sometimes you don't draw the cards you expect. A common problem for new players is that they'll focus specifically on these scenarios, and they'll say, "well, the game is just luck."

But the point of games like these are to increase your win percentage. Variance is expected. A good deck is not one that wins 100% of the time but one that, over time, increases its win percentage.

Now, whether or not a game has elements of luck, there will still be scenarios outside of your immediate control where you lose. You may not know enough to win, you may not have enough practice or discipline to win. Even in this scenario, your goal is (often) not to win every single game you play - it's over time to increase your win percentage.

Or in other words, in both a luck and skill-based world it might still be worthwhile to lose a 'game' if it means you can win two in the future. In particular, this comes up a lot in entrepreneurship - a good entrepreneur is one who harnesses variance to their advantage, rather than focusing on just the immediate challenge or project in front of them.

----

Note that I don't believe this is universally true. It's true for some games, and it's an important point to learn if you're trying to deal with variance. However, there are certain scenarios where failure is incredibly costly, and you can't focus on the long-term in those scenarios. So, overall it's good advice, but you should still take it with a grain of salt.
I have had this debate. The right has learned to be very slippery.

You won't ever hear them suggest people should die in the streets - why that'd be just unhospitable!

They'll instead say - "why don't they have insurance? Why don't they get a job so they have health insurance? Why should I have to pay for people that don't feel like working when I go to work every day without complaint?"

If you suggest all the myriad of reasons the trapped impoverished don't have a job, they'll counter with "those are obstacles to getting a job, sure, but it's not impossible."

If you point out that many people have jobs that don't offer health insurance, you'll either get a sarcastic reply about Obamacare, or the question "why don't they just get a better job? Why don't they go to night school and get a degree?"

Empathy has been replaced by the desire to be infallible in debate.

I found it still an interesting read, but I agree with you. The most important problem is:

> Then our guarantee is lost: the operations that look like they're inside the with block might actually keep running after the with block ends, and then crash because the file gets closed while they're still using it. And again, you can't tell from local inspection; to know if this is happening you have to go read the source code to all the functions called inside the ... code.

But actually you can "tell", or even better have a type system good enough to prevent such mistakes entirely, and the author even knows a bit about Rust, yet fails to state that at least that item is a solved problem there (by using a different and arguably more general approach).

Now I don't know enough to decide whether something is missing on the panicking background thread front, but if it does that seems very solvable.

I don't buy that spawning threads (or even moral equivalents) and multiprogrammation is in a situation similar to unstructured use of goto anyway. You have tons of problems applicable to one and not the other. And of course resource management is hard to get right with threads. But we have at least a production example of a language that get it right on some points by leveraging more general ideas (and the other difficult points are mostly not addressed by the nursery idea, anyway).
A process has much higher overhead (both in time and space), more complex communications and is not always possible in the first place. It also adds complexity to the build pipeline. These quickly adds up to being not worth it over a task or thread.

You wouldn't spawn a process for the rendering/input/physics/network/job/loader threads of a game engine for one. You can't spawn processes from a web app either.

Threads are actually pretty darn simple when you have either immutable data or uniqueness constraints. Deterministic parallelism is also very powerful while preventing all sorts of nasty bugs.
