There are also a wide range of interpretations of a single protocol. See the horror of HL7.

In terms of DICOM viewers, I’ll be the one who mentions Horos. If it doesn’t do what you want with a DICOM or have a plug-in that does, you are doing something quite unusual. Before the psych department come at me - I work in radiology. Functional imaging is best served with other tools, and I don’t understand them.
A key lesson I learned with our first child was "just about everything gets easier once you leave the hospital", so with our second we prioritized GTFOing ASAP. It was a good decision.
> This is on top of things like their recent breakages to extensions so things that used to work (vertical tabs) still don't.

The breakage in question is more than one year old now, and most things has been restored since then (including vertical tabs).
A float in Python is an implementation-specific size, just like C. So I'm really confused about using it as an example here.

> Storage classes are "minutiae" however when all you want is just a straight up number.

You can have a single "straight up number" and mention the bit width in the language spec. The mere act of writing it down doesn't force coders to deal with any more minutiae than they already had to deal with.

> Yeah by way of higher-level abstractions ...

I strongly object to this. "float is at least x bits" and "float is exactly x bits" are the same level of abstraction, and almost every language, high or low level, picks one of those options.
I lived in various parts of Asia for over a decade, in countries where squatters were the dominant type of toilet, and yes they look and smell nasty, but that doesn't invalidate my point which is that my skin never has to touch any of it.

Contrast this with a sitter, where even the 'clean' ones require contact with your skin.

I'd take the squatter every time, thanks.
JEP 218: Generics Over Primitive Types
I know a torch is a flashlight but it amuses me to think of a nurse wielding a flaming torch walking down the hallway, peering into rooms.

It's been awhile since I was in a hospital overnight but checking in on a (presumably) stable patient every 15 minutes is madness. You hear all sorts of crazy things during jury duty--I love it.
Thanks. I'm using Visual Studio, since I'm developping on (and for) Windows and Visual Studio is part of the build process (we're using its compiler). So it's not really applicable to my situation, but I was interested in knowing more.
18 Digital Marketing Metrics and KPIs You Should Know
One feedback loop for the customer might be insight in what type of other customers like a place.

I actually might visit a place if I know that a particular group of people strongly dislikes it. People have different tastes and a review system might account for that.

It would require people to fill in a few questions about themselves. Or it needs cross-referenced with Facebook likes or something like that.

This information can belong to the people!
That's a fair question. I've got a follow-up for you: do people actually watch other people express diverse opinions or are they happy with just impeaching the source, slandering the messenger, and moving on? It seems everywhere I go online I get other people telling me how I should or shouldn't consume media content based on the producer's political opinions.

I both upvoted the video link and your comment. I like people with different opinions and worldviews.

Now I'll go watch the video.
> This is an awkward constraint for a universe designer: isn't a totally deterministic universe much easier and simpler?

Huh? Maybe it's natural selection, all the way down, and all the way up. The results aren't at all "random", but they're also not at all designed.
So the shift-tab thing feature was copied from a chat program called Xfire, which back in the days of AIM and such was a neat way to be able to talk to your online friends while in a full-screen game.

Steam copied that feature and added a web browser, and the rest of those interactions some time after.

I agree that it feels like marketing BS but it is cool to be able to chat with out-of-game Steam friends in-game.
Right, building a portfolio isn't specific to any learning platform.

When I buy an online course or book, it is often reassuring for me that the course materials are available in an open source repository. This ensures that students can use the course materials in their personal projects, and increases the commonwealth.
I think Sam Harris put it like this: for free will, it doesn't even matter if reality is deterministic or random because the determinism or randomness are found at the quantum level, many levels "below" neurological free will.

Let's say we have Universe 1 (deterministic) and Universe 2 (random). You face a choice - raise your left hand or your right hand. In U1, if you went back in time several times, you would always pick the same hand because the configuration of matter in the universe would "require" that the next step, globally, is you raising that same hand. In U2, if you went back in time, there could be some variance - maybe you'd pick the other hand 50% of the time - but this variance would happen on a quantum level and only manifest neurologically/physically. I still see no possibility of the classical idea of free will there.

Agreed, although for small communities, public transport doesn't always work.

Coincidentally, the author's bio says he now lives in Seattle, which has truly awful traffic. They could have banned traffic in e.g. South Lake Union when it was being developed and didn't.

Are there any probable cases of laryngeal alternation? I'm not aware of any. Radical consonants (which the PIE laryngeals probably were) can be stable under certain conditions and unstable under others - they seem to be less stable in Germanic than in Semitic or Northwest Caucasian, although Germanic /k/ is stable... but Polynesian /k/ isn't. IMO the best guess at this point is that the PIE laryngeals were stable until they disappeared

Confirmation in historical linguistics is probabilistic. Sound laws can't be demonstrated the way "the sun is up" can be, but there's a great deal of evidence for Grimm's and Verner's Laws, less evidence for Cowgill's, and even less for things like the "pibati rule" or h1 preservation in Albanian. (I'm skeptical of the pibati rule - the root is irregular in some branches anyway, and it could be dissimilation or an exception to the loss of b or something.)

The root composition rules are a little more complicated than that - you can have TeT or DheDh, but not TeDh, DheT, or DeD.

Laryngeal preservation in Germanic is a pretty extraordinary claim. Are there other cases of this?
Granted, and vice versa: you can do things walking or biking that you can't do on a train. Eg get a regular amount of exercise.
Can We Grow More Food on Less Land? We’ll Have To, a New Study Finds
It's not hospitals, it's American hospitals.

My parents worked in Italian hospitals for 40 years and their experience is the exact opposite: patients ask for more care then it is necessary while they often complain when some test is mandatory.

If you leave them alone, they'll complain they're being abandoned and not taken care of, if you go for a blood test, they complain that it's not what they need.

Hospitals have rules to allow patient's recovery, they need to work for the general case, when you are 24 hours a day in a bed, you have plenty of time to sleep and usually the stress of the situation is enough to disrupt the patient's regular sleep cycle, so they don't sleep well anyway.
And exactly why is insane in Spain?

Paying the city through impounded scooters would probably be close to the top least cost-effective lobbying method ever.
Walking works for small communities (at least in Europe).
> The type system of both languages makes sure that T does not include null, so the case where you "accidentally" handle the null of T is impossible.

So does that mean you can't call generic methods with ? types? Because there's an excluded middle here: either something like String? is a first-class type, in which case you can invoke a <T> T ... method with T=String? and then any T?s inside that method have the potential to misbehave, or you can't, in which case String? becomes an awkward second-class type.
What's wrong with multiple windows? It's desktop, not mobile
If they gave people the illusion that they could make WPF cross-platform it would mean a lot of wasted time for both Microsoft and the contributors. So it's probably better to remove that illusion right away.

People can always fork and work on it, Microsoft is just sending the message that they won't do any work to incorporate any of it. Open-sourcing something is not an obligation to keep maintaining something.

I follow him around a lot, and as you said, you cannot hide personality traits forever. E.g. he definitely is not misogynstic, but he plays that card often during Meme Review or his other weekly formats to cater to his Reddit audience. I honestly believe he speaks for his real self in his social commentary videos.

> The thing is so many people store their cars incorrectly nothing is usually done, so poorly parked cars and scooters are about the same problem

In both cases, it's part of your civic duty to report cases like these. There must be a phone number in your city that you can call when you see someone parked a car (or a scooter) in a place where it's a) illegal, and b) is causing troubles.
For having spent a long time in hospital (France), I can tell that the beeps of the machines are completely useless. It is maybe very ok for someone spending 2 or 3 days in the hospital, but for people spending 3 to 6 or even more months in hospital (this was the case here), it is completely terrible and the sleep deprivation goes against any good care practice.
Situation is the following:
- First you have beeps every few seconds in a floor with 20 or 30 rooms. The beeps, after a few days working in the hospital, is just a common noise for nurses and doctors. The human brain is wired to ignore repetitive noise in your environment. Basically no one cares about the beeps after a few weeks in the hospital, and the beeps turn into routine noise. They should be exceptional to be an alarm. Constant alarm is not an alarm anymore.
- Then there is no way to tell if the beeps are serious (dysfunction or else) or irrelevant. For example infusion pumps beep 2/3 minutes before ending as pre-alarm, then beeps when ending the infusion, and keep beeping until a nurse stops it. If you are in a room with 5 infusion pumps delivering medicines and one heart rate monitor with high and low alarms, you are guaranteed to get beeps in the room almost constantly, which kills the whole point for the beeps in the first place. They become useless. It is even counter productive. Not mentioning beeps of low-battery for infusion pumps or other devices which are plug into A/C. Very often the beeps cannot be de-activated, so the medical device vendor is safe for a legal point of view.
- children spending 3 or 6 months in hospital are seriously impacted by the 6 to 9 wake-ups during the night. Every kid with a leukemia or other form of cancer spends 3 to 6 months in hospital at least. This is a lot of kids (about 15 000 per year in the US). Nothing is done to help those kids sleep better during those months in hospital. they have a double burden: cancer and sleep deprivation.
It is obvious patients should be monitored, but today we must admit sleep is the least of worry for all caregivers and medical devices vendors. It is possible today to design sleep-friendly monitoring devices. Machines states can be displayed on a central deck, nurses and doctors can have a smartphone or smartwatch with alarms connected to the machines, machines could only beeps when a care giver is in the room thanks to NFC, blinking lights in the corridor could be used as well.Stupid questions that are in the patient file should be answered in front of the computer, not at 2 a.m. during the night.
In any case too much noise is bad for the patients and kills the whole point of an alarm.

Mentioned this in another response. In this case, that requires the addition of another component. The app itself is serving a valid CORS policy. The stub we're using to support S3 development offline (LocalStack) ignores the configuration it's passed.

I agree with you that fixing the headers (via a proxy in this case) is the right solution. I'm just not able to prioritize right now.

Beyond that, there are always going to be occasions where developers, security analysts, and testers need to bypass default security enforcement. I'd like to see every browser provide a way to make these adjustments for a one-off session (e.g., via a command-line switch). It's an efficient solution that I can offer when I come across a nasty hack living permanently in a developer's web configuration.

Getting best ideas to win
Reminds me of the film Brazil
We had our first child ~3 months ago. We had a room to ourselves and nurses/midwifes would only come in once or twice a day unless they were paged (which we did, they were a godsend). This made the stay as comfortable as could be, and we could get all the quiet time alone we wanted, although sleep was in short supply for other reasons.

This was in Copenhagen, Denmark, so the entire stay was free. Sadly, the central hospital is removing this practice and kicking out patients after 4 hours.

The verge article is detailed and pretty convincing that I don't need to bother with this video. This isn't impeaching the source because of their political opinions, it's impeaching the content because of its political opinions.

> Taylor and the film’s writer Peter Schweizer say that they’re aware of issues affecting non-conservatives and simply wanted to focus on a single thread of the conversation. But that focus completely changes the argument. If conservatives are disproportionately suffering on Google and Facebook, an incident like Peterson getting locked out of Gmail looks like political warfare. If people across the social and political spectra are getting accounts suspended, YouTube videos demonetized, or stories de-ranked, it looks like bad service from a platform with a legitimately disconcerting amount of power.

> This distinction is probably obvious to many people. But The Creepy Line suggests that any seeming technical glitch or bad decision is a coordinated step in the master plan of Silicon Valley’s digital “kingmakers,” even when that’s far from the most obvious conclusion. It does things like insinuate that Google’s lack of a customer support hotline is inexplicable and suspicious, or claim that “very few people in the world have ever seen” an error page for google.com, so spotting one indicates that Google has cut off search access to punish a user for criticizing it. It glosses over the fact that these kingmakers didn’t even get their favored candidate into the White House, although Taylor argues that Google only put “roughly 10 percent effort” into its manipulation efforts because it was confident Clinton was already winning. “That won’t happen again,” he says.

edit: If this actually is funded by Amazon as someone speculated elsewhere in this thread, it's probably going to backfire spectacularly if this catches on.

From the article: "I can’t wait for the letters to pour in offering BS excuses for why none of these solutions is really possible."

This fellow evidently already decided that any possible criticism of his solutions is BS. He is also a political writer. Is it reasonable to draw a connection between this attitude and journalistic political discourse in the US today? I think they are part and parcel.

Here's how I solved this for now: I've kept around my 10yo dumb 32'' TV from Samsung for casual viewing, like showing a video to our kid (we hardly every use it otherwise). For something serious I made a beamer cart that I can roll everywhere, with a PS4, a Nintendo Switch, and a place to put a laptop. Beamers can mostly still be had without any connectivity. A decent 1080p one from BenQ costs you around 600-700 bucks and that's plenty enough for me to have full bluray quality movie experiences. For sound I just bought an Avantree AptX low latency bluetooth receiver, and I plan on extending this with an HDMI audio splitter and low latency transmitter with optical input to get full stereo quality on a nice pair of speakers. Screw surround, screw 4K, keep your 3D crap, I'm getting too old for this.
>I stand corrected, as monomorphization is optional for parametric polymorphism but mandatory for ad hoc polymorphism. It is still technically possible to deduplicate similar enough functions, either at the source level or at the binary level, but that is orthogonal to this issue :-)

Regarding this bloat thing, are monomorphized functions ever generated for types/signatures that are not actually _used_ in the program?

If not, it's not really bloat, is it? It's what one would do themselves without generics, if they wanted to be able to use them with full speed.
