When you were at a university (without grade inflation), how big was the portion of students you felt truly mastered each subject? 5%? Would you expect something different with MDs? Your doctors are statistically most likely average or below average, so is their advice. They likely graduated by memorizing a snapshot of medical knowledge that was current when they graduated, with updates coming in with far lower weight. If you want great advice, get two persons - one a recent smart graduate, the other experienced one with great stats. I hope at some point many of those murky decisions could be automated away with machine learning soon.
Yes Zachtronics games are amazing!
I would say that Shenzhen I/O might be a bit easier to learn though.
Opportunity costs only exist wherein opportunities exist.
Precisely. Our taxation system feels closer to a middle age poll tax than anything else. Upon collection is nearly impossible to get a precise idea where or what they're doing with that money.

I wouldn't be surprised if more than 20% of that gets funneled to offshore accounts - Current investigations just found that the current ruling party "North League" owes more than 49 million euros in "missing funds".

Their answer was "well, We'll give them back errr...eventually. Oh Look there! Illegal Immigrants! starts running"

Previous left/right/centre governments weren't any better.

It's repulsive, and I don't see any hope for change. I'm rather left-leaning, I'm aware that state-managed funds aren't where you should look for efficiency, but the current situation is going south really, really fast.
Sure, having some variation in circadian rhythms among the members of a group makes it easier to have guards at most times of day and night. But such variation exists independently of age: There are "owls" and "larks" at all stages of life. I find it interesting that, on top of that, teenagers specifically and consistently have their individual rhythms shifted towards the later hours.
British economy went from a growth of ~3% before the Brexit to half of that after the Brexit.
Italy economy with the lira in the ‘90s was completely stagnant.
Please avoid spreading misinformation passing your conjectures for facts.
My rule of thumb: use checked exceptions if and only if your exceptions are not supposed to be rethrown and must be handled by the caller directly. These cases are very rare, but I recently had one them.
Except Americans gain freedoms over time such as civil rights for minorities, ability to choose abortion, gay marriage, environmental rights, etc. It’s not just bouncing back and forth, there is progress being made, unfortunately some keep trying to reverse it.
Honestly, direct pay for attendance would be a great incentive for the poorest demographics. A few dollars can be make-or-break at the margin and even greedy parents that misuse the funds would end up wanting to get the kid showing up and not getting in fights - the bare minimum for a school day to go by undisturbed.
I think we do - advertising is still a perfectly legitimate way to pay for 'free' content., plus subscriptions where they make sense.

The current problem isn't that we can't or won't pay, or we can't or won't accept advertising. It's that each generation of adtech becomes more and more user-hostile until we're forced to fight back.

So the popup became the pop-under, and devolved into popup bombs until browsers were forced to act. Tracking has gone from associating an ad-view with its context, to growing that context across their entire ad network until they've profiled exactly what demographics and markets you fit into, and browsers are starting to fight back.

It's not that we won't accept advertising. It's that advertising is in a constant race to the bottom. And I think - I hope - we're about hitting the bottom of the current generation of adtech.
Same thing when I was having massive sleep issues with years of constantly having symptoms of chronic sleep deprivation. Turned out I just had a condition called ‘delayed sleep phase disorder’. Being diagnosed and reading about sleep cycles was also a bit of a revelation to me. DSPD pretty much just means that as an adult I have a similar circadian rhythm to an adeloscent. As soon as I started regularly getting up at around 10am instead of 7-8am and just going to bed when I felt tired, all the symptoms disappeared, with no meds or anything.

It’s lucky that I have a flexible workplace and a supervisor who has a kid with a sleep disorder, because the hardest thing about having this disorder is that it’s so hard for anybody with a normal cycle to understand how inflexible circadian rhythms are. You hear all sorts of BS about “you just need to be more disciplined”, etc. which just doesn’t work.
I don’t mean to offend you but as a foreigner living in Brussels the taxes and overall cost of living, for the services you receive, are shockingly terrible.

The inefficieny of the Belgium bureaucracy is like nothing I have ever seen before and if Italy is any worse I can’t blame a single soul for abandoning ship.

I visited Milan a month ago and was very happily surprised at how clean and orderly the city seemed. A welcomed reprieve from graffiti and trash dominated Brussels.
You could, but there are also tons of other Exceptions which you don't want the user of your method to explicitly handle because they are bugs in your program that should be handled globally or cause the program to restart.
rleigh isn't arguing that the Euro makes it easier to migrate, which is what you seem to be getting at.

He's arguing that, essentially, countries like Italy, Spain, Greece etc cannot reform their cultures and without the Euro would effectively be forced to re-calibrate their economies by a sinking exchange rate. That is, they'd be unable to afford foreign exports so they'd buy more domestic products, and that in turn would grow their economy. But in the euro there are no floating exchange rates, and people are very reluctant to pay themselves less, and governments are very reluctant to pay out less in benefits, and the EU/ECB is very willing to finance all of this with money printing and huge bailout "loans" .... so in the end there's no incentive to reform or make it easier to get things done.

Convenience of currency changes when migrating is certainly not the issue at hand.
Brave browser has been my default browser on Android.

It's as fast as Chrome (if not faster) as it uses the same rendering engine Blink; has all the features you mention; has builtin Ad and privacy controls; is developed by Brendan Eich's company (Mozilla's co-founder); but is fully open source and a fork away, if the company starts pulling odd moves.
It absolutely is true. The US has the strongest free speech and freedom of association laws in the world. There is no country in the world that has anything that even comes close to the protection offered by the Bill of Rights. The copyright law Europe passed last week would require a constitutional amendment to be legal in the US.
Keeping your JavaScript bundle size in check
It has been known for decades but largely ignored by the general population, that doctors themselves are one of the leading causes of death in the united states.

We are talking about a couple of millions of unnecessary deaths in a 16 year span. Here is a source, that references studies - https://nutritionfacts.org/2017/09/21/how-doctors-responded-...

The truth is that medicine is a very conservative profession, as it probably should be, we don't want to be guinea pigs of new techniques ourselves.

But many doctors are just not up to date with the latest research and just keep medicating you using the same stuff they learned in university 20 years ago, which was itself already out of date by then by easily 10 years.

Not all doctors are like that, but many. You should do your own research on the internet for those types of ailments, confirm that the sources are trustworthy and adapt your diet, try different things.

Try to find a specialist on those issues, it could be an auto-immune disease. But don't overly trust some random doctor telling you that you don't have anything when you have those types of symptoms.
I think it's a stretch to call this murmuring anecdote a case of more data => negative outcome. It's more like telling an individual about their specific instance and then having them extrapolate from uncertain statistics and overcorrecting. Acting on bad intel, as it were, where n=1.

If you want to argue against gathering information in this way, then perhaps phrenology serves as an interesting example. We know now that most likely, it was a croc. The use of phrenology was to draw a boundary around a certain ethnicity so that it could be upheld above all other ethnicities, and so it is hard to say that the data collection itself was the problem. Sweden is having a similar but opposite problem right now -- assault and sexual assault perps are predominantly Arabic immigrants, for one reason or another -- maybe it's in part Middle Eastern culture, almost assuredly it's a lot about socioeconomic factors, but nonetheless, it is true.

The powers that be have decided that the news should not mention ethnicity or citizenship for fear of racist backlash, they have decided that the annual crime statistics reports should not mention ethnicity or citizenship, again citing fear of racist backlash. I now invite you to consider, what will the population think then, if there are no facts to refer to, nothing to dissuade the racist's viewpoint that "Muslims are bad people?" Facts are sometimes inconvenient or inflammatory, but that doesn't make them less true.

For your case, I think the problem is not one of information gathering. Doctors should still be examining the kids, I think you agree -- the problem is giving the wrong impression to the parents, or not knowing that it is in fact the wrong impression.
>I'm absolutely not trying to belittle your experience

I understand, I didn't think that you were. I agree with the point you made that maybe doctors who are trying to work might be impeded by a patient who disagrees. But I think that is a much smaller problem since the doctor can quickly be vindicated when the treatment he or she advises works, or the disagreeing patient leaves.
I've been using Brave on Android for some time. It's great, like a slimmed down, privacy conscious Chrome.

After this latest folly from Google, I may replace Chromium with Brave on the desktop too.
Surely a do-block is just sugar for the functional code. But that code can be used to model all imperative effects. As such the code inevitably models all troubles the imperative code can cause.

If one looks at the desugared version one can see where the trouble comes. Functional code using monadic style depends on the state of the monad interpreter that can be arbitrary complex and spread over many closures with many interdependencies. It can be rather hard to uncover what exactly is going on, precisely in the same way as with imperative code it models.
Block scheduling has been common for years and “balanced” schedules where you don’t have large summer breaks are becoming common as well.

The latter is harder because of how many societal conventions we’ve built up. There are lots of systems in place for childcare in the summer. Less so for longer fall/winter/spring breaks. This largely isn’t a huge deal for teenagers but having school systems operating on 2 major calendars is a challenge.
Yes, and I really like the idea of embedding the text definitions of diagrams in my markdown files, and being able to view it and export to html/pdf. Very nice.

I'm somewhat familiar with PlantUML, BlockDiag, Flowchart.js and a couple others, but am simply wondering if there are any really outstanding ones out there that I simply don't know about. For example, maybe one that's much more aesthetically pleasing, or maybe one that built-in support for the entire AWS ecosystem.

I recently saw a nice AWS diagrammer, but it's drag & drop, I don't think it has a way to build a diagram from a text description.
Another Week with Bad Software
That means you have to do some kind of staggering. But the order is always older-younger, although younger kids are naturally awake earlier.
Some further info.

A follow-up paper 1ML with Special Effects [1] extends the original 1ML type system with effects polymorphism (i.e. that higher order functions such as ‘map’ can either be pure/applicative or impure/generative), but IMO at a huge loss of simplicity of the original paper - essentially you need a limited implementation of type classes!

An important (in my opinion) extension of 1ML would be value tracking, which was implemented for modules in the earlier F-ing Modules paper, and would solve some of the remaining issues with ML module system. I tried doing that (only implementation, not theory, and without type inference), but it’s... hard (and I’m not sure it can be done keeping the simplicity of 1ML).

Before looking at the numbers you need to understand what the numbers actually mean.
The gbp value has indeed collapsed. Whoever is telling the contrary is plainly lying.
The gbp eur fx before the Brexit was over 1.40, now it is 1.11.
Obviously you look at the gbp usd graph that has nothing to do with the strength of the gbp because the major business partner of the UK is the EU, not the US, and by far.
The gbp usd graph that you are using as a proof of your fantasies just highlights that the USD also lost value in the last two years.
Can I please know where do you live? I live in UK and I can attest for sure to the GBP collapse and the economy that is growing at half the pace as before.
I lost thousands of pounds already because of the Brexit.
We did that to most mammals alive today.

has a notion of what languages are relevant for broad knowledge.

I read an article once that made a very good point re. why trying to anticipate industry needs is a fruitless effort compared with providing deep education, which mentioned how little would be gained by a focus on cobol during earlier decades, but can't find it at the moment.

If it's an advanced programming course, I'd focus on weirder topics to expand the students' minds while possible. They'll presumably get all the industry language practice they need later on.
but basic version of XS does not even have 1080p :(
Was so grateful that my linear algebra professor at Drexel back in 2004 managed to get Strang, the author of our textbook, to take Amtrak down to Philadelphia for a guest lecture. Learned more that day than any other, and gladly waited after class to have him autograph my textbook!
It may not be "Free Source", but if the source is open in the sense if being accessable, then for normal people it is open source. One organization using words in a specific way, doesn't negate all other legit interpretations of those words.

It's an unsolvable problem they created there.
Whether it's still open source is a bit of a semantic quibble. Fact is that a restriction to non-commercial usage is incompatible with all the major open-source licences like GPL, LGPL, Appache, BSD, MIT, etc. In a sense it's still open source, but the restriction is very unusual.
I don’t think that you can do that without attracting the attention of other programmers:

- You have to ask for a review.

- Even if you find a like-minded programmer, most key parts of the code are flagged by senior programmers who get alerted where there is a significant change.

- Assuming this goes through, any significant change in which websites get listed, clicked on, etc. will be flagged by an anomaly-detection tool.

Changing anything impactful requires to pass through a lot of internal radars, certainly far more sensitive, informed and exhaustive than anything external.
This collection is bad. I had a look at several implementations and pretty much everything I looked at was bad, and not in a subtle way. It may well be that some of things in there are good, but given the amount of bad, you really shouldn't use this for learning.

Here's a short list of things I found that were really bad, all of which we teach our first-year students how to do correctly:

- the entire `Graphs/` directory is a dumpster fire. The implementation of Dijkstra's algorithm doesn't use a priority queue, nor does that of Prim's MST algorithm. Both of these also use a strange hard-coded maximum distance of 100000 for no reason. Both Kruskal implementations are bad, too: one doesn't use any kind of Union-Find data structure, the other uses a naive version which has terrible worst case behaviour.

- There is another implementation of Dijkstra's algorithm in `data_structures/Graph/dijkstra.py` that is just as bad.

- The DFS implementation in `data_structures/Graph/DepthFirstSearch.py` isn't a DFS.

- The sorting and selection algorithms are comically bad, too. `sorts/merge_sort_fastest.py` really takes the cake here. It is neither a mergesort nor fast (it's a weird non-inplace implementation of cocktail shaker sort, with quadratic best- and worst-case behaviour). The quicksort at `sorts/quick_sort.py` always uses the first element as a pivot, which is a bad idea. Its partitioning also copies the entire data in every recursive step, which is an even worse idea. The quickselect in `searches/quick_select.py` at least uses a random pivot, but also partitions out-of-place.

- Why does this contain an implementation of FTP?
PayPal and credit card companies made paying online easier than the various micro-payment companies could, but weren't interested in the same business model.
Well, I didn't come to this thread expecting a eugenics-based argument in favor of medically unsound school start times, but here we are.
I learned a bit of Idris on the book you link, but I gave up after trying to implement Quicksort (the classical Haskell one-liner) in Idris vectors. You need to manually write a page of theorems for Idris to accept it. It's crazy.
I don't know what Gosling's actual influences were, but when Java came out I was struck by its similarity in many respects to Modula-3. One convention I wish they had borrowed was modules instead of classes as the encapsulation technique, although I think many potential converts to the language would have found Modula-3's partial revelation of types to be confusing.

We live in a wonderfully polyglot world these days. At the time Java was introduced, I felt like new programmers encouraged each other to pick sides. Were you going to use C? Pascal? C++? (Visual) Basic? Ada? Lisp? Your "choice" brought you praise from one camp and ridicule from another.

Now I'm just guessing obviously. First is focus, SpaceX is only building and launching rockets, the others are doing a lot more.

Then you have programs like the F-35 (Lockheed) which is intentionally very international and thus political, even morw so than your average defence program. No matter how much everybody is talking about strategy and core technologies in the end the only questions governmants and politicians care about how much money is flowing into their home turf.

The equivalent to EU politics in the US could be Congress and the Senate medling with budgets? But I'm just guessong here. In general being in a very protected industry, politically and by high barriers of entry, makes people lazy. And politics rub off, so even you don't want to you get political by working with politics for too long.

Overhead builds over time, maybe SpaceX did have the time for that yet. And now the last, and arguqbly controversial point, I'm not sure if SpaceX is better by the degree it seems they are. Again, that is just my personal opinion.

EDIT: What does ULA mean? I never heard of that acronym.
There isn't even a definite proposition yet for eliminating DST shifts. There is still a long way ahead for something like this to happen.

Of course the layout needs bit optimization instead of literally just copy-pasting the existing one.
I can't tell you how many times I've had to write code to open a file that I know will always exist and have to write an empty try-catch. Or had to add an unused throws clause because an interface specified it. Sometimes I've even had to throw a different type of exception than declared by an interface method and was left to either refactor tons of code to uselessly handle the new checked exception or throw a runtime one and catch it at the smaller number of callsites, or throw it as one of the declared checked exceptions that would not accurately describe the type of error to be handled. Anyone use Hibernate and see how many times an underlying SQLException got wrapped by a HibernateException?

For functional programming languages, I think it's a lot more convenient to not have checked exceptions because how they affect the composability of closures. Not saying it's impossible, but imagine having to add throws clauses to your .map and .filter chains.

The tax and cost of living in the Nordic countries is pretty steep even compared to the rest of Europe.
I would argue that this ultimately has to do with one survival trait: who has more sex. I’m guessing that far more teen pregnancy occurs when teens are hanging out without adults around. The ability to shift to different sleep patterns than adults would be among other things, a procreational advantage.
classic :)
I can’t remember where I saw this burn apparently there is a group of people in the US who called themselves Juggalos or something similar and they where clown make up as they go about their businesses.

It’s common for them to paint their chins black and this affects the ML which assesses your facial proportions throwing it off the scent.

I wonder if it’d be possible to design makeup that’s subtle enough to fool the naked eye but that would alter your facial structure when viewed by a camera? Maybe some type of reflexive make up that might make your irises look much further apart?
That difference may be delayed sleep phase syndrome, which affects about 1 in 7 teens. You can mitigate it around the edges with sleep hygiene, but even doing everything correctly they're still going to behind adults with earlier chronotypes.
That bothered me. I've worked on applications that store business logic in the database and they are a lot harder to maintain and verify. You could also say the same thing about assembly but there's a reason nobody's jumping on that

Mainly the kinds of characters you meet, and what it means to them. If someone found the documentary appealing, they likely wouldn't be disappointed by the experience either.
Depriving people (especially, but not only, adolescents) off their sleep is disastrous for their mental health. For instance ADHD may be linked to lack of sleep (Walker suggests this in his book, I don't know how strongly this is backed by studies). Since by now we know that sleep times are driven by physiological factors to a large degree, I find it inhumane to not take these factors into account in scheduling.
Information is as good as it's source. The internet has plenty of good sources.

Given that the doctor can't know my symptom history as well as I do...

Or as well as Google from tracking my previous symptom searches.

What's the chance Google search algorithms point me in a more productive direction than an MD?

Anecdata: Doctors prescribed me antidepressants and muscle relaxers. The internet introduced me to healthy eating, keto, stretching, and mindfulness.

I'm happy to report that I stayed away from the former. And the latter has been unbelievably life changing, for the better.

Edit: add two unnecessary surgeries, kidney stone removal after passing the stone and septoplasty for nasal inflammation, to the doctor cons list.
