During my daughters first year of life we had multiple hospital stays at multiple hospitals for surgeries. What we found was that your experience can vary a lot depending on the hospital.

Our worst experience was at a hospital that was #1 in the nation for its specialty. The staffing leaned heavily on STNAs, and they had a lot of patients to look after. Their nurses were similarly rushed. Once in the step down unit we were placed in a pod with three other families. Of course not all of them were respectful of recovery, with one of them staying up late into the night having boisterous conversations. We ended up advocating for leaving the hospital sooner than they were originally planning. We also found ways to get them to line up vitals and medicine a little better. All of this took significant advocating and considerable effort.

Our best experience was a complete flip. This was at a top 5 hospital in the nation for pediatric care. Nursing staff seemed top of their class. They took their jobs seriously, seemed to be extremely knowledgeable, and were attentive to both my daughter as well as the family. Similarly the doctors seemed to respect the nurses a bit more as they were the ones in closer contact with the patients and more capable of identifying things. We were often assigned a night nurse that only had a couple families to attend to, sometimes we were the only one. I don’t remember ever seeing an STNA. They probably existed, but our care was overwhelmingly done through nurses. The step down unit was like a mini hotel, we had our own private room with a cot and pull out bed, private bathroom with shower, etc. The nurses seemed to actually give thought to their schedule and when to do vitals and meds. They also leaned on technology a bit more and had remote o2 and heart rate sensors, so they didn’t need to take as many vitals.

The facilities made a bit of a difference in our experiences, but above all the nursing staff had the biggest impact. Highly skilled nurses that aren’t over staffed seemed to be key.

> In fact in most cases they barely read the work with any substantial sense of "read".

I would not say this applies to most cases.

I have got many papers reviewed, have done many reviews, and have got questions from people doing other reviews, and people usually put quite some effort into it. There are exceptions, but bad reviews are not the norm, and you can usually catch them when it happens and talk with the editor about it (either if you are the author or another reviewer).

Searching for similarities should indeed be part of the job, but it is not always easy, and I agree more work should be done in that aspect.

This may be different in other fields or specific journals but, please, don't generalize.

Talk about this with someone you trust (wife, kids if they're old enough, brother and/or sister, best friend...). Talking with people you don't know is nice, but if you're anxious you need to have an open conversation with someone who has known you for a long time.

For financial advice i can't help you, though i can give you advice for travels, especially if you don't particulary ike visiting cities:
pick a place, then pick something (a hobby) you can learn within two weeks at this place. I've learn skydiving, kitesurfing, and i've improved my windsurf and kayak skills this past two years, and it was much more enkoyable than siviting museums/bars and so on. Also i got back in shape a little, so there is that too.

more than sleep I've found bigger issue with excessive paperwork, while giving birth in China there was no need to measure your baby prior and after each feeding, this was not the case in EU hospital

you would say it helps to decrease newborn mortality but loss of weight it's completely natural and i don't see reason why bother mother and baby measuring weight every two hours, that's just insane harassment

can't really compare sleep since in China we landed in private room (public hospital, not that busy in smaller town) while in EU room for three which was extremely overheated that in winter you had to open window, in China you had to pay astronomic fee around 1.5€ per day for AC remote control and AC to be switched...
I like D, but I'd draw different conclusions. D 1.0 was kind of like a "native C#" for me - a language that combines performance, pointers, direct access and ease of garbage collection, batteries included standard library. I loved it.
D 2.0 though, I have more mixed feelings about.

It's trying to be a better C++, but in an effort to woo C++ programmers it's slowly becoming C++ itself. D's curse and blessing is that it tries to cover all bases. Safe programming? Kind of supported. OOP programming? Kind of supported. Functional programming? Kind of supported. GC? Kind of supported. No GC? Kind of supported. Everything is supported to some extent, but it takes some effort to learn what exactly is supported in which subset, what language features don't interact well with each other. It's a big boost for expert D programmers, but for less expert ones it's a lot of mental overhead to worry about.

I realise this is slightly off for this thread but I'm really interested in this topic. A cursory glance at your website (You're in Edinburgh, Hi!) doesn't mention anything about how you use/keep the data.

I'm also curious how staff would interact with the data. Your website shows lots of iPhones, but I'm assuming Doctors/nursers/clinical staff aren't accessing patient data through their own iPhones?

This is really cool though!

> I wonder how much of the rider-growth fueling that is just people trying out an electric scooter for the first time

I saw they have Lime in Madrid and a few other Spanish cities, and that was my impression for their usage here. For a 10 minute ride the cost is comparable to what you would pay for car-sharing scheme like Car2Go - but that's for a car where you can fit a passenger and shopping. It's also priced in USD here, which suggests it's not aimed at the local market.

If they had pricing similar to bicycle sharing schemes (X minutes free, then pay per minute + daily/yearly subscription fee) I could see them being a lot more popular with commuters, but as it is now, my impression is it's too expensive for the European market.

If I may be blunt, I could hardly believe SFINAE was a feature, and hated implementing it.

But one thing I liked about C++ was the partial ordering scheme for template selection. I liked it so much D uses it for both templates and function overload selection (as opposed to the multi-level argument matching scheme C++ uses). Once I figured it out, I thought it was a beauty.
I did that with my IV machine the one time I was in the hospital. It would start incessantly beeping when the fluids needed changing, so I learned how to silence the alarm (by watching the nurses do it the first time). When the alarm went off, I'd call the nurse and then silence the machine.

When it went off at 3am I did that and by the time the nurse came by I was already asleep. She saw what I did and got angry at me. Re-awakened me responded badly to that and words were exchanged. She didn't bother me for the rest of the night at least (and we made up in the morning, when I was awake enough to be rational).

Current offering being of course Rust.

Rust isn't a "simpler Agda" either. It is a safer C/C++ – as in bare metal capable, no GC, natively compiled… and affine types is what makes the safety possible.

Um, he has no need to work. Why would starting a business be the most important thing to do?

Basically, he can find out what sensible or quirky thing he likes and do that - just as long as it does not cost more than a middle class income can support. If he's entrepreneurial then sure, business.

But I see nothing wrong in spending ones life painting, sculpting, doing maths or science or volunteering and charity or whatnot. Or just spending time with the family (if that's something he enjoys). Just as long as it's something he enjoys and finds worthwhile.

Yes there's cases where they're due to mental illness, or other reasons that could be explained scientifically. But don't let that make you think that these sort of cases don't happen neither.

If you stay away from the doorways that the article mentioned, you should be good. Believe whatever you want to believe on how the world works. But the rabbit hole goes deep.

To be honest I much rather think that these sort of things don't exist also but I've known the truth.

Citing Black Panther as an example of a departure from

> Well-known artistic depictions of the future [...] showing a marked lack of diversity.

Black Panther was a purely american product, Comic book superhero is the most stale and rehashed sub-genre of science-fiction from the last century, and this author uses it to show a "blossoming" of new diverse and imaginative production from "around the world"?

Afrofuturism, reaching back from W. E. B. Du Bois with The Comet to Black Panther, Nnedi Okorafor, ALL of them american products, would not be considered the "West"? African-american culture is not western?

> “But this phenomenon, which is now making its voice heard from areas like China or Africa, also has a much longer history that precedes today’s boom.”

This whole article seems to be written from the point of vue of someone who have been blind for decades, discovering that other culture exists all around. Reaching outside their bubble seems progressive and forward-thinking, but this surprise and this impression of being so avant-gardiste only serves to show how bigoted they were for so long.

> Well-known artistic depictions of the future have traditionally been regarded as the preserve of the West, and have shown a marked lack of diversity.

I can appreciate the prudent use of "well-known" here, because science-fiction has been extremely diverse and progressive from the beginning. If anything however, there is a backlash from alt-right cliques to colonize the genre, with the recent attempts to subvert the Hugo Awards[1]. This seems to go against the narrative of this article, but I think this is more important (and disturbing). That Cixin have won the award recently does not mean that science fiction is becoming more diverse, only that foreign authors have been welcomed into the fold.

So typical, the only boom that matters is the one playing into the US cultural codes, one face of imperialism. Only there it is pretending to be diversity.

First of all, you don't have to do anything immediately. Don't rush. Take your time, study different options to invest the money. Personally I would put most of it in an index fund with low cost.
Having $8M isn't rich to you? That's a lot of money, you probably should give at least some of it away to charity.

Retire. I'd buy myself a hundred acres or so here in Indiana (probably not for you, but I like quiet), make a lazy 3-fund portfolio ( https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Three-fund_portfolio ) with a million in each fund, throw another million in a robo advisor and leave whatever was left as cash. I'd never have to work again, I'd have many times my FIRE number.

Then schedule a physical, an optometrist appointment if you wear glasses/contacts and a dental checkup. You now have time to be mindful of your health.

Then I'd just take a few months off. Do absolutely nothing. Just relax, think, recharge.

Then I've always got a bazillion ideas I want to pursue, I"m sure you have some too. I'd probably start working on the idea I'm currently waiting to hear back from YC for the winter 2019 batch. I could spend 20-30k of my own money collecting a lot of data and quietly looking for a key person or two to help me with the project and I might actually pivot and go more of a non-profit route with the idea.

You do you though, just be sensible about it.

Read about the Trinity study https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Trinity_study_update

Basically, if you put some money into a lazy three fund, or just a broad market/whole market fund you can likely retire and withdrawal 3-4% of the initial amount for the rest of your life depending on your risk tolerance. If you just did 3 million like I suggested above if I were in your situation, you have 90-120k a year to live off of relatively safely.

If you move somewhere with sane housing prices, pretty much anywhere in the midwest, you can live fantastically wealthy off that as the median household income in the country is 59k.

What I'd also do is take a small percentage of the money, maybe 50-100k and go Brewster's Million(s). Go spend it on something fun or goofy, something you've always wanted or wanted to do but could never justify. Get it out of your system. Something like these vacation experiences (secret agent for a day, vomit comet, shark diving) or buy that car you always wanted, or take a 700-702 AD French drunken pottery spinning while standing on one leg while singing Won't You Be My Neighbor class that you thought would be fun.

I would recommend retiring and enjoying your time with your family. The money can come and go, but the time you have is irreplaceable.

Please consider donating and investing it in causes you believe in. There are so many ways this money can have a real positive impact to people and the world. Don't feel you need to throw massive gobs around - talk to the people running these causes and see what would help them out.
interesting comment.

It is certainly possible. Concept C++ (the failed C++0x concept proposal) did it; so, to a certain extent, does concept 2.0. Rust which was designed from day 1 to support this also does.
It's "rich" in the sense that if you're smart and a bit frugal about it you'll never have to work again. It's not "rich" in the sense of never having to worry about money again. Really rich people will spend $8M adding a new garage to their summer house.
If you have to ask, nothing. Put it aside in ETFs or something for your kids.
It was easier to trick PageRank back in time.

Today, they cross validate the search results against DNS queries in a specific region and from their tracking scripts embeded in pages too. They are getting a lot of data from ISP, Wifi access points, their own 8.8.8.8 DNS service, and even their mobile operator project fi.

So, even if you manage to trick the linking part, you'll not pass their other filters.

It's much harder now but still doable provided someone is willing to foot the bill for such an operation.
Its a mix of protocols, procedures, habits and personal biases, as are most such things in most workplaces.

But most of all, I think it is an attention thing. For the staff, a patient being sleep depraved for a couple nights is very low on their list of concerns. They see people die almost every day.

For the patient, the emphasis is different, especially for the ones that are there for minor issues.

Medically, a few nights with reduced sleep quality is unlikely to make a big difference.

Now, if it goes on for weeks or months, that is another matter. Still, more people are probably seriously injured or die from bedsores sleep depravation. Not to mention those that die from fall injuries caused by trying to walk to the bathroom unassisted. (The latter is the most frequent case of preventable fatal injuries aquired in most hospitals, at least in my country)

From my point of view, most complaints about loss of sleep in hospital are in the same category as complaining about the food. 1st world problems.
Good read. A similar scenario that always boggles my mind is password complexity. It always seems so simple until you work out you need till the end of the time to crack it!
I've written wrappers for C++ libraries to work with D and it's _very_ easy. To work with C++ classes in D, I created factory methods that created/destroyed them with C ABI and used/disposed them respectively.

Working with C is even more easier. There is no FFI, etc. Just use Dstep[1] and get going. Or use dpp[2].

Well my personally philosophy is: "the only question in life you need to have an answer for is 'what are you gonna do about it?'"
It may feel like infinite money, but can be burned through at terrifying speed. This happens to a lot of people who suddenly get money.

My advice is do nothing with it, and start reading books about finance, investing, and money management. Then start gradually investing it as you learn the ropes.

Hire a good CPA to help you with taxes.

Buy liability insurance, because you're now a target for jackpot lawsuits.

Don't listen to advice from the internet, your friends, family, any personal wealth manager, or anyone who wants you to invest in their business.
If this was to happen to me. I would buy stock in long term, low yield investments. Very long term investments with small payments. Similar to a superannuation program or large industry fund. I would take small amount and take a break, somewhere I always wanted. Take the whole family. Replace both cars (if they were needed) to extend their warranties for 7+ years. Place some money aside for college fees for the children (if that’s your things). Keep $100,000 as a “sickness” backup for insurance or even Cancer or some similar expensive cost (if it does cost a lot where you live).

At the end you’ll end up getting back your $8,000,000 but you’ll be getting it 10-20 years when you want to retire and do sweet nothing. Right now your brain still wants to produce and provide. So I doubt you will want to quit working. Maybe you can take a pay cut and do a job you always wanted?
While Tumblr have every right to have whatever terms of service they like, this feels like a bait-and-switch to me. People and communities have become accustomed to allowing NSFW stuff on Tumblr, and if Tumblr had forbidden this from the get go these people who have set up somewhere else and not on Tumblr.

What we need[1] is for social networks to be interoperable, with open data and protocols, so that a user can up sticks, move to a different site, and take their existing data (posts, images etc) with them and keep their followers.

Firefox and Gecko has a lot of tech debt, and it's big. It'd be too risky to just try to throw big chunks of it out and hope that the replacement will be great.
