Possibly this has to do with the state assurance companies who need to justify the tax ( approx 15% ), so keeping someone in hospital longer works for them.

Single time when I was in hospital, but private assured, they did everything to keep me as little as possible, even skipping an OP for a non invasive procedure, because the recovery time was inexistent.

Unfortunately, the 'IT department' issue is only briefly mentioned in the article.

But traditional organizational structure (specifically 'functional structure') is holding us back - The idea of an 'IT department' is no longer appropriate (if it ever was).

It makes more sense at least to widen the 'IT' department to the scope of 'internal systems' - I.e. all infra, facilities, End-user computing, processes, applications, security, user tools etc. - Even furniture & fittings.

IT has bled into facilities management et al for decades already (it's entrenched in ITIL and other standards, frameworks & libraries), and it's not valuable to split down the middle at this point.

The overarching issue with traditional functional structure (IT, Finance, Marketing etc.) is that the structure doesn't plan for the future, leading to hastily bolted on components nested to whichever department most closely resembles it.
There are many functions/components that are therefore crammed into incredibly inappropriate places, breaking the scope of the department and blurring lines.

- When organizations realize they need a 'Supplier Tendering' function, it often gets wedged into Procurement.

- When they realize they need a Compliance function, it can get wedged into Finance (compliance being an ethical and legal concern, not just financial).

- Organizations have no idea where to put an Ethics accountability function (i.e. who to be accountable)

- When an organization realizes they need a comprehensive Community strategy, they realize they only have a 'Marketing' department (purely monetary/transaction focused, rather than the nuanced ecosystems where operating).

- When an organization realizes they need a comprehensive Customer strategy, they realize they only have a 'Sales' department (purely monetary/transaction focused, rather than the needs of the customer).

These all lead to massive conflicts of interest or inefficiencies.

"IT, Finance, Marketing, Sales and Production" are simply not comprehensive in scope of modern small business.
That's why I use org-mode for my config so I can set :tangle no anytime, with {use,req}-pacakge I can handle the complexity without feeling it.

Actually I live (in IT terms) in Emacs, from the WM (EXWM(-x)) to MUA (notmuch-emacs) to personal finance (ledger-mode) to document system (skeletor+org+LaTeX+yasnippet) to programming environment (personal use of guile (geiser), hy, python (jedi etc), nim and various shells/DSL language), I administer systems inside Emacs with NixOS and tramp+eshell, I forget the concept of filemanger with dired (and tons of related addons), I super reduce CLI usage thanks to various Emacs packages, I have chat, rss, news all inside all well integrated... Yep, the start give me some frustration, I have a config bankrupt but after that things goes far smother than any other environment I have ever tried.

And yes, the config is big, but I do not made it before starting using Emacs, it evolve regularly in the time as I need so it's length and complexity have essentially no weigh. When something goes wrong (essentially after an update) I simply rollback and keep working until I have time to investigate. No real interruption, nothing like Windows update during presentation we all have seen.

Sometimes I have encountered "strange" bugs, the last few days ago that doom-modeline break notmuch-mua-new-mail: I quickly rollback and do my stuff; in a moment of free time I try to figure out what happen and yes I encounter some difficulties (my knowledge of elisp it's not well enough) so I simply ignore the problem. Yesterday I update again and the problem was gone. Long-story short in many case a problem is not only mine and tons of people working on Emacs find and debug it :-)
So true, and the lack of Reddit-style doenvoting for disagreement is what has made HN so special to me. With all the polarization and the HN population growing, however, 'bad downvotes' seem to be increasing. I don't find myself agreeing over the downvoting of every grey comment like I used to. Many are clearly not based on 'not adding value to the discussion', but instead 'not adding the value I want to hear.'

I remember, actually, what really piqued my interest with HN on my first visit. I saw a front-page article with a couple climate change deniers, and they were upvoted, along with the other side of the debate! Would that still occur now?

> You will be encouraged to hire an investment manager. Considerable pressure will be applied. Don't.

> Investment managers charge fees, usually a percentage of assets. Consider this: If they charge 1% (which is low, I doubt you could find this deal, actually) they have to beat the market by 1% every year just to break even with a general market index fund. It is not worth it, and you don't need the extra return or the extra risk. Go for the index fund instead if you must invest in stocks. This is a hard rule to follow. They will come recommended by friends. They will come recommended by family. They will be your second cousin on your mother's side. Investment managers will sound smart. They will have lots of cool acronyms. They will have nice PowerPoint presentations. They might (MIGHT) pay for your shrimp cocktail lunch at TGI Friday's while reminding you how poor their side of the family is. They live for this stuff.

> You should smile, thank them for their time, and then tell them you will get back to them next week. Don't sign ANYTHING. Don't write it on a cocktail napkin (lottery lawsuit cases have been won and lost over drunkenly scrawled cocktail napkin addition and subtraction figures with lots of zeros on them). Never call them back. Trust me. You will thank me later. This tactic, smiling, thanking people for their time, and promising to get back to people, is going to have to become familiar. You will have to learn to say no gently, without saying the word "no." It sounds underhanded. Sneaky. It is. And its part of your new survival strategy. I mean the word "survival" quite literally.

Dining Chairs Market: Classification, Opportunities, Types and Forecast to 2023
I can attest to this issue first hand. In 1995 I was diagnosed with cancer and had to undergo major surgery, recovery from that in ICU, then several rounds of chemotherapy over the next nine months. While I was in the hospital for a week of chemo, I got maybe two or three hours of sleep per night with a half hour nap off and on throughout the day, and this was on sedatives and painkillers. I can only imagine how much better my recovery would have gone if I'd been allowed to sleep all night during my stays and didn't need sedatives to balance the constant interruptions.

I'm certainly not a medical expert nor a sleep expert, but I'd wager if nurses and doctors would let their patients have a full night of rest without interruption, they would see much faster recovery times.
I'm surprised there's no mention of Subresource Integrity. That works well with content addressable stores, provides extra verification inside of the browser.
I have experienced far in the past a similar situation, I've tried both Emacs and XEmacs at that time and give up sticking to vim. After, time ago pushed by curiosity and few demos I casually see I tried Emacs again but with a far slower start, only as a side curiosity and a step at a time I grow my config keep using (n)vim until I decide it's time to jump. After that I still experience some problems but I keep evolution speed slow to avoid frustration, in few months Emacs became my environment.

Maybe you have tried Emacs as an editor expecting to been able to use it quickly as other "editors" you already encounter and that cause the fail. Emacs is an OS, not an editor, an ancient one that have some idiosyncrasy because of that vestige. And we know that learning an OS is not as simple as learning a single-purpose application.

Maybe they were talking about VED which is sort of about using the public highway in that you can declare the vehicle as off the road and stop paying it. But the complicated emissions/price/age based charge means it doesn't really make sense to think of it that way anymore. E.g. A zero-rated vehicle still has the same impact when parked on the road.
The only European city I know well is Munich, and here there definitely is a shortage of apartments, particularly for rent. People tell stories about having searched for years.

The reason why the current parking norms are bad is that they require many more off-street parking spots than residents need. Building those costs €25-45k each at current Munich construction costs, and roughly half of that's wasted money (details vary widely).

The streets are packed with parked cars, but we're not talking about public parking here.

8 trillion is nothing on the scale of the Earth, right? I don’t know if I could fix Sierra Leone with 8 trillion but I could try.

Maybe a moon base but that’s not cash-limited above a few hundred billion, I think. I might run out of rocket scientists and habitat specialists before running out of money.
I'm not sure this is good advise. If there is one thing that I've heard from experienced people, it is that you can't time the market, and you should attempt to. Never invest a bulk of money at once, invest it in small chunks on a regular basis, so you will get an average of the market, which is the best you can hope for.

By the way, there have been inidcators and reasons for a downwards turn for years, and I know people who stoppend investing years ago, losing out on gains. It's never a good idea to time the market.
While I like to see competition, I still think Microsoft has the market for the foreseeable future because you get so much value.

I use markdown and Latex to write my books, but I still find a lot of value in Office for occasional uses.

$8M is fairly close to the number that I use for calculating "retirement ready" in the SF Bay Area. Assuming you live somewhere cheaper, the number is lower. Also my calculation involves some very large annual expenses that most people don't have, so your number is probably lower regardless.

So, you could probably retire.

If you have a high salary and great perks, how sure are you that you're not being paid for it? You don't need a separate line item on your paycheck to reflect the fact that you're paid to go to team meetings, company meetings, or to interview candidates.

Yep. That's the question. Some quantum processes are indeterministic. However, one might ponder if it is because of ignorance of the inner-workings on the said process.

One also might conclude that non-determinism is ignorance or lack of information. It is an unanswered question as far as I know.
You are assuming 25% of high IQ people theoretically enter programming which is absurd. Having a high IQ is only associated with ‘success’ not any particular interest. So, you see high IQ actors, athletes, soldiers, teachers, even janitors not just fields like engineering and mathematics which are thought to attract such.

Any profession that wants to attract 1+ million people simply can’t be that selective.

IMO it's simply a way to lock users in, like Cisco, like Oracle, like OpenBravo, like any other vendor try to do. Emacs simply was born many years ago, and kept going since that, why change terminology just to ease the newcomers make unhappy actual users?

> There's nothing "intuitive" about emacs terminology.
And so what? Emacs is an OS not a small single-purpose apps, did you expect to being able to learn it an a day clicking around? In my personal experience, as a hardcore vimmer for more than a decade, as someone who have used different OSes (casually born on Irix thanks to a present by a family friend, evolved on FreeBSD, RH/Fedora/Debian/Gentoo, Solaris, OpenSolaris, Ubuntu/NixOS) I have seen anywhere "non intuitive" terminology, and I'm still there...

What about slices instead of partition? What about /dev/ notation in various unices? What about pfexec vs su vs sudo vs pkexec vs ...?

Many worlds is deterministic, but not in the same sense that people might think of, right. The evolution of the wavefunction (which never collapses like in Copenhagen) is deterministic, but in any given world, random draws are appearing.
To me it feels like a "management removed the free snacks" moment. Doesn't affect me directly, but what it says about how things are changing makes me think "doomed in very short order".
That still just adds perceived lag to the system slowing people down as you can’t read something that’s not yet rendered or sliding around that quickly. 150ms adds up.

“Why did this get so slow?” Is a real and common complaint with such changes and why OS’s allow people do disable so many animations.
> All of the leading application frameworks (Angular CLI, Create React App, Ember CLI, Vue CLI 3) recommend defining environment values at compile time. This practice requires that the static assets are generated for each environment and regenerated for any change to an environment.

As a backend developer that relies heavily on environment variables for configuration, I was surprised that runtime configuration is not something these frameworks recommend.

In the few occasions that I have to do some front end (Angular) stuff, I had to write my own service just so that I can have runtime configuration.

Why don't these frameworks support this out of the box? Are there any issues I may be missing?

There are problems that money can not solve, but Artificial General Intelligence would solve. Think about an artificial intelligence that could learn about health, chemestry, microbiology, develop and apply medical knowledge much faster than humans do, with no limits.
So I would work on Artificial General Intelligence, with a team of neural network programmers and computational neuroscientists to develop the required evolutionary algorithms and neuron simulators to implement biologically inspired memory circuits and some brain process simulations that could lead to a new form of computing and artificial intelligence.
(But unfortunately most who could do this are buried in mundane client related problems.)

Why not just use Qt then?
Agreed with the bogleheads suggestion. I’m a lawyer who does some consulting to people in similar situations, and the mistake that everyone makes is thinking that because it’s a lot of money somehow it has to be treated differently. This is just plain wrong.

Resist the urge to hire a fancy money manager or do anything different beyond a celebratory dinner with your family.

Don’t tell anyone beyond your wife and very trustworthy family about this. Otherwise,you will quickly have lots of “friends” and family members who “love” you.

Going forward with work is a personal decision. Obviously, you don’t need to. A tried-and-true conservative investment approach will pay you sufficient income for the rest of your life (and our kids through college, and everything else). But it’s tough to stop working. Anecdotally, I’m about half retired (on a lot less money) and it’s a big challenge.

I’m getting long winded. For now, resist the urge to do anything special, anything too different.

Retiring is a funny concept. Just because you can suddenly not work doesn't mean you should rest on your laurels. Work is a way to remain occupied, however it is too prescriptive in nature.

Most people would benefit from a "retirement" that involved continuing occupation but in a wider variety of roles, with greater freedom to chop and change.
