This does not match my experience in healthcare. I've gone through the EHR vendor selection process at several community hospital systems and it's always been led by one or more physician leaders who have an incredible amount of influence on the final decision.

I think the bigger issue is that an EHR is not one piece of software, it's 100+ applications are bundled together under a single name. It's a registration system, a billing system, a coding system, a data warehouse, a surgical system, a physician's office system, a scheduling system . . . It's inevitable that some of these applications will be better than others, but that's the sacrifice you make for the cost savings, consistent support, and guaranteed interoperability that comes with going with a single vendor.

Not to mention that with a medical staff of hundreds to thousands of highly opinionated, highly intelligent providers, you're never going to make everyone happy.

Undo has some features rr doesn't have. It supports shared memory operations. It works in virtual machines and "in cloud". It imposes less strict requirements on kernel or CPU features, for example, it works on AMD.
Fundamentally, what differs UndoDB and Undo Live Recorder from rr is the architecture based on machine code instrumentation.

I've gone down that rabbit hole, repeatedly. It's just too fascinating. Likewise, I feel obligated to bring up the Voter Satisfaction Efficiency (or index) metric that seems to be favored by the approval/range voting crowd: basically estimating how utilitarian a given voting system can be. There's a fascinating write-up of their modeling results on github, with code (python).

> Do you think in Brazil, France or Japan money just grows on trees and you can just magically buy more stuff?

No, but even Brazil can buy more ambulances.

Also in Brazil, you have paramedics that can ride motorcycles and can be sent to the site of an injury first, to stabilize the patient, provide immediate care, and prepare for the arrival of a proper ambulance. Since they are bikes, they can better navigate traffic jams and can get to the site more quickly. If it turns out that an ambulance ride is NOT required, then it can be canceled. There are some paramedics in cars for a similar function, except cars can carry more equipment.

These are trained paramedics who have seen their fair share of injuries. I'd trust them much more than a company health clinic doctor.

There ARE alternatives. Ambulances are a limited resource everywhere, but you can work around the issue.
I've watched a number of interviews with war planners from that era. Every one has said they knew they had more missiles. Its questionable whether Kennedy would have known during his campaign (they do receive intelligence briefings as candidates), but he certainly knew after being elected.

This article is awesome. It shines a light into the different types of racing overtakes, and how both cars must cooperate in a way so the racing is clean. It also shows how some drivers try to keep to the rules but not to their spirit, causing several incidents along the way.

Since the article is from 2014, it only shows the first chapters of the years-long Hamilton v Rosberg battle. The issue there was that Rosberg was treating Hamilton like a teammate, trying not to crash and trying to race him as fairly as possible in order to avoid a crash. Hamilton didn't ever do this. When he felt threatened, he raced against Rosberg in the same way he would race any other driver from a different team. Rosberg crashing into Hamilton in Spa was a way to tell the team that Hamilton needed to be fairer and not force dangerous situations, or Rosberg would stop being fair to him. Hamilton never changed his attitude, and Rosberg started being way more aggressive in the following races. Finally, in Spain 2016 both cars crashed hard into each other and had to abandon. Rosberg ended up winning that year's championship.

A trait some of the great drivers share is that they completely disregard teammates. Schumacher, Hamilton, Verstappen, Vettel, and Senna are or were like this. Prost and Rosberg did something rare, they were quick enough to accept their teammates' challenge. Is rare for teams to have two best-in-class drivers.
> If your community prices out certain essential services then those providing the service will leave, raising the price of that service, thereby ensuring that those that stay (or come back after the price changes) can make a living, can have a wage that allows them to pay for housing in the city.

I’ll bite, what did Deming say about this kind of thing?
I don't think usefullness of syntax highlighting depends on complexity of syntax. It's useful not because it's hard to distinguish between e.g. builtin operator vs function call, but for some subconscious visual clues and making wall of text less uniform. For assembly it might be even more useful because otherwise code may look like solid column of text.

AFAIK, there's no theory why syntax highlighting is useful. There's movement against it, one of famous proponents against syntax highlighting is Rob Pike, with his Acme editor. However, most people still prefer having highlighting enabled.
Voting systems like range voting seem to me, based on simulation, to have this property but much more well-behaved. Range voting is also much simpler than IRV. Approval voting is just a special case of range voting. I'm afraid people want to take one step forward, three steps back with IRV.
I'm not trying to offend anyone who feels compelled to be naturally defensive or take some sort of "side" here.

Nor am I defending Intel (I recently chose and now use a Ryzen 2700X), I'm just contributing additional facts and context to the conversation for anyone who wasn't aware of it since I read all the comments here and no one mentioned it.
C++ template system is too generic (Turing complete), and it is usually the one to blame for the verboseness of error messages.

Something like Concepts would probably make it more like a proper "generics" mechanism and allow better error messages - ie, "this type does not implement EqualityTrait" instead of "signature mismatch <detailed and very verbose function declaration 1> and <detailed and very verbose function declaration 2>".

Despite this, newer g++ versions have better error messages overall - but sometimes you are stuck with an older version of the compiler as well.
I don't think the person you're responding to is implying that.

Rust eliminates entire classes of bugs at compile time that plague other languages, usually out in production. "NoneType has no attribute 'enough'", "KeyError: this dictionary never has the key you want", etc. Multiple times per day I'll have a website fail to render simply b/c I blocked cookies (and they try to use localStorage, and the call fails, the failure isn't handled, and it bubbles all the way out, crashing the site).

Sure, unit tests could help here, but that's the thing about a typechecker: it's a unit test (of sorts) that you can't avoid (which prevents laziness), and I feel it is easier in the long run (writing the equivalent unit tests in Python requires more work). IME, laziness usually wins out, and sloppy code winds up in production.
As mentioned in the first line of the blog post (and linked) it was essentially a follow-up to another blog post, http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2018/10/31/mir-... which describes the state of NLL, which also gives an example of bugs fixed by NLL and why it's desirable. This one was purely focussing on the performance side of things mentioned on that previous blog post.
Patients in distress are usually not very able to make distinctions between hospitals based on pricing or really any other factor apart from perhaps proximity. This key point seems to not be addressed by any of the standard libertarian takes.

Edit: Also, I grew up in a country (India) where healthcare was definitely part of the market economy. And what that meant (and still does) was that people with money get high quality immediate care, and those without get shafted. That's what the market does to healthcare.

Apache Ignite is an in-memory data grid that supports persistence and overflow-to-disk. It primarily started as a cache and now has a full key/value store with SQL-92 on top, but isn't a full relational database. Instead it has other features like distributed data structures, messaging, and is more about connecting your applications together. Easier deployment model with all nodes being identical.

MemSQL is a distributed full-featured relational database that has in-memory rowstore and on-disk columnstore tables with rich support for SQL, fulltext search and JSON. It's a fast RDBMS and does really well with analytical queries.

Do you need a fast cache, key/value, messaging system? Or a RDBMS with fast OLTP + OLAP capabilities?

An interesting theoretical problem that arises:
Given a regular language L, define LD(L,k) to be the set of strings with Levenshtein distance at most k from some string in L.

1. Is LD(L,k) regular? (yes)

2. How hard is it to construct a regular expression(or DFA, NFA) of LD(L,k) given a regular expression(or DFA, NFA) of L? (probably it is something k times the original size in terms of NFA)

I believe a constant k here does not make much sense. since we might match super long strings, then having more errors seems ok. Maybe we can ask for the following:

LDM(L,ε) is the set of strings, such that if x in LDM(L,ε), then there is a y in L, such that distance between x and y is at most ε|y|.

LDM(L,ε) does not seem to be a regular language.

Based on my experience, people who can acknowledge their issues and accurately compensate for them are more valuable than most of the people who think they're the top 1-3%. Obviously you have people who think they are, and it's actually accurate, but I assume they're doing just fine with their half-mill+ salaries at FANG. The rest of the world needs programmers, too, and a little bit of humility and willingness to keep improving goes a long way.

Maybe just keep that and learn to be a little more obnoxious in the self-assessments you give to others?

That statement in the Q3 earnings call is misleading.

Do the 1% apply to jobs with such descriptions? I’m not in the 1% in my domain and I wouldn’t touch a job with those words or phrases in the description.
That's not true. Healthcare has always been expensive. Even before regulations. Hundreds, even thousands of years back. The same regulations you're whining about made snake-oils illegal and other quacks from practicing on people who don't know better. The good old days of unregulated healthcare... Google "doctors agree cigarette" and look at the Images. See all those ads. Those ads that cigs are good for your health and infants. Yea...

Back when people thought that healthcare should not be regulated.

Now, there's a lot of fuckery in the healthcare industry. A lot. Both, business side and gov side. Both are to blame. But just saying regulation is flat out bad. That's stupid. There are many issues and each have to be addressed.

Not just a one MAGIC PILL solution.

I believe humans are affecting the climate ( to a small degree ) and affecting the environment ( to a larger degree ). Humans will adapt and life will go on. Not losing any sleep over climate change just like al gore flying comfortable in his private jet. But feel free to run around screaming "the world is ending".

> False. Healthcare is not a human right, but the insane inflation of healthcare costs would be avoided by removing a large portion of the regulation surrounding it.

....So it can only be for the rich.

Insurance is simple - you have a group pool their risk together so that everyone's protected.

Yet, when we try to discuss making an insurance pool the size of the country, for everyone, people like you go all "not a right".

When I see "not a right", I read into it as "Fuck you I got mine".. when there is plenty to go around for everyone.

> If hospitals actually had to compete to get patients, based on affordability, among other factors, healthcare would be far cheaper

Uh huh. So non-christians need not apply? I know how this plays out... This is a citizenry issue, for the whole country. And you end up wanting to make it a fractured "small group" issue. People fall in cracks, and you don't care. Some "mythical" group will fix it.

>Given a hypothetical button which could perfectly simulate the chemical conditions of self-actualization, do you think everyone would be content to use it every day and do nothing else for the rest of their lives?

That would just mean that self-actualization for them involves struggle, and they don't want it in ready made form. But they still want their self-actualization (just not a pre-packaged medically induced one).

I already mentioned that for some self-actualization can even include being executed for a great cause -- you think those types would be the ones to content with medically-induced feelings of self-actualization?
In order to get tax breaks from a country you must be incorporated in that country. So, tautologically, any company that would pay these EU taxes must be an EU company. In the most pedantic sense, this cannot affect US companies.

However US (and other multinational) companies set up subsidiaries and then funnel money through them to get tax breaks thanks to bilateral double-taxation-avoidance agreements. These would be affected, but they've structured themselves this way intentionally so that their profits are collected in a company headquartered in the EU. (Though it should be noted that headquartering EU operations in an EU country is generally a requirement for dealing with EU consumers without tarrifs and so on, but many multinationals funnel their international money through the EU company).

You can't have it both ways. Either you're an EU company which gives you certain tax breaks, or you're a US company that has no tax benefits in the EU for global revenue.
Legal expenses, if the eviction sees court challenge. Especially if any claims of discrimination are sustained against the landlord. Also, labor cost of emptying the unit, repair/cleaning to make the unit ready for a new tenant, etc. Folks being evicted usually aren't in a cheery mode about it, so stuff might get broken.
Functional programming and object oriented programming are (largely) orthogonal issues. It is, in fact, quite possible to combine both approaches in a language.

Java and C++ are really imperative + OOP, not pure OO. The closest to pure OO are going to be languages like Smalltalk which still has some imperative concepts and some concepts from functional programming (closures and higher order functions via blocks, in particular).

Scheme allows for object oriented programming, though not directly in the base language spec. You have to build out some infrastructure for it, but then it's quite effective for it.

Rent control does not always reduce the supply of housing. See this article/study: http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-painter-rent-cont...

The argument is that rent-control can spur the creation of new housing, as landlords are unable to make the same amount of money from their existing units. Of course, this is predicated on the fact that developers/landlords have the option of creating those new units (which they usually don't). That's why I'm not against rent control per se, but I'm usually not in favor since it tends to be suggested in areas with severe restrictions on building new housing.

Customer Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK) for Dataproc Is Now Generally Available
I upvoted you, pfdietz, and AnimalMuppet because you are all correctly describing different phenomena that can increase and decrease the prices of a mineral commodity. Increasing demand pushes up the price, which spurs searches for additional resources and improved extraction techniques. Improved techniques and the discovery of more resources can push the price down again, sometimes even below the price before major industrial demand started. Uranium is cheaper in the 21st century than prior to its large scale industrial use. Platinum remained more expensive after demand shot up from catalysts, despite huge investments in improved extraction and the discovery of new resources.

I'm not trying to make predictions about the price movement of beryllium following a very successful ARC demonstration. I'm just pointing out that you can't look at current resource levels and divide by annual production rates to learn when resources will fall to 0. Making predictions about future prices is particularly hard when an element currently has only niche uses (e.g. beryllium, thorium, thallium, rubidium).
