Graphviz for simple diagrams that can represented with basic shapes.

PlantUML for sequence diagrams, state machines and the likes.

Powerpoint/Keynote for things that are presentations - and usually I will export one of the above formats as SVG, clean it up a bit, turn into PDF and drop into the slides. As a general rule all my diagrams must be vector based, and no bitmap objects should be embedded.

Confluence with Graphviz and PlantUML plugins for placing diagrams into documentation. This also gives more granular version control. Other diagrams may also end up in source control with the product itself.

Occasionally I have ASCII art embedded in source code, nearly all of this is hand cranked as I've yet to find tools that work for me. Almost always this is formatted to show up in generated documentation.

But most importantly is having consistent design elements - spend time having colour palettes that are consistent, typefaces and type positioning that match, that shapes and layouts are as consistent as possible. Having templates, colour palettes, and snippets help. Finally, understand basic colour theory, typography and layout. Looking at graphic design visual porn (Behance is a good starting point) after knowing the basic rules will hopefully give meaningful inspiration.
In CG fluid simulations, one either use grid-based Eulerian methods (Bridson’s book uses a thing called a MAC grid), or use particled-based Lagrangian methods such as SPH (smoothed particle hydrodynamics). They all use the Navier-Stokes equations and the incompressibility condition; the difference is how you approximate it (with tradeoff between realism/performance). Each method has its own quirks (such as the PIC method suffering from unwanted viscosity, and FLIP suffering from numerical instability.) Nowadays the grid-based people use APIC a lot, because it seems to solve both the disadvantages of the two (you can see the links in the comment above)

Fountain pens were very common in Spain too not so long ago. I went to school in the 80s and many children had fountain pens. Erasable pens mostly finished with them, and nowadays children learn writing in a very different way (they start writing in caps, and only later they learn cursive).

>I don't understand what medicare for all seeks to accomplish that isn't already available with medicaid.

Medicaid is only available for the extremely poor; Many states have expanded this after the ACA passed, but my understanding is that there's still a pretty good gap between where you qualify for medicaid and where health insurance is affordable in much of the country.
You are really confusing two things here.

I wouldn't voluntarily start any new project in PHP, but that doesn't change the massive amounts of existing PHP code that can benefit from an investment in security.

PHP is (sadly) not going anywhere for a long time.

Also, as others mentioned, it's just so easy to host PHP based solutions like WP etc that you can't reasonably recommend anything else to a non-technical user.

Even someone clueless can figure out how to host something with PHP on cheap shared hosting with a little internet research.
Good luck doing the same thing with Python or Ruby or even Rust.

Yes. There are outliers. Every creative outfit lays __non__ golden eggs. So how do you mitigate that risk?

Data / analysis.

That can be used as part of the creative process. It can be used to understand the market. It can be used to identify and target your target markets.

Let's not be naive. The truth is there is little true originality. One creative effort stands on the shoulders of those that came before it. Just because you use data does __not__ belittle the need for creativity.

As others have said, they are most likely being used by the EU in some parts of their infrastructure. Then the question becomes "Why were they using these software in their infrastructure?" The answer to that is probably along the lines of "a guy that was assigned to project used it because it came up in google," if I were to hazard a guess.

When I was learning to draw years ago, I read in a book comparing every kind of pen, that steel nib + ink is incomparably the best for drawing. (Not a fountain pen, just a steel nib stuck into a wood or plastic holder) And indeed it is! Vary the stroke width as you go from super-thin to thick, (or change ink colour to whatever you like at any moment), or change between bendy and stiff nibs, there's nothing like it. Also they're cheap and last for many years.

When I was in high school in the 80s I never used a ball-point, but only Artline, with their weird fibrous tip that didn't last long. Then when Uniballs came along I used nothing else for many years, black and blue. Now I find most ball-points are fine for writing, they mostly have a rollerball feel compared to the ones a few decades ago. But for drawing, steel nibs.
As a side note the book "Creativity Inc" is excellent. Recommended.

I was reading a few years back that they didn't have anything like double-blind studies on chiropractic medicine, in part 'cause double blind studies are much more difficult for procedures than for pills.

I mean, I'm not claiming to be an expert here or anything, it's just that last time I read up on that sort of thing it sounded like there was no evidence that chiropractic medicine or acupuncture was more than just placebo. Do you have citations?
>No, you sell to NZ because you somehow figured out how to profit from doing so.

The incremental cost of selling drugs you’ve already developed is quite low, so of course they can still profit from them in less profitable markets. But it’s the US that’s paying for them to be developed. This isn’t even up for debate, R&D in the US dwarfs everywhere else.
This may be jarring to learn but we all enter the world naked, terrified, and alone, and fairly shortly thereafter leave the world the same way.

An individual might find meaning from travel, or meditation, or religious adherence, another from creating a family, another by being the greatest bullfighter to ever live, or creating an electronic simulation of violent war, but in none of these examples should anyone be incredibly confident that they have become an authority on which things matter more than others.
Yes, there are numbers. We spend more than pretty much anyone else and don't have particularly good outcomes among developed countries.

Some of that is explained by efficient outcomes not really being a systematic goal, but we also have a dumb regulatory framework where a bunch of things are highly regulated and prices aren't touched.

There's a new trend of using deeplearning to replace and mix the solvers. Some ongoing research looks at tackling the compressible flows. Accelerating lattice boltzman methods with DL is also under study at various labs. See https://github.com/jolibrain/fluidnet_cxx for a reimplementation of fluidnet with aten/Pytorch tensors.

The literature on DL + cfd is growing steadily with some interesting papers at machine learning conferences. We are seeing the first set of applications in industry as well, very exciting !

At the same time, it drives me nuts to see these kinds of flaws in the system. People get invested in a platform, and then one day that platform kicks you in the nuts, and slams the door as you fall out on the pavement.

I guess one factor is that the industry is fighting a rearguard battle and paying PR agencies to place this sort of article in popular media[+]. Admittedly, they got me: Before the introduction of the Pencil, I did indeed fall for it and buy a few high-priced "good" pens by the likes of Montblanc and Faber-Castell plus overpriced stationery.

But I'll be damned if it wasn't all this fucking nostalgia that got us into the current mess, even though there are so many good things happening. And it is nostalgia that is holding us back or slowing our speed forward, to a better world than the old, retrograde shit.

So yea, I tossed the pens, effectively. No use for paper anymore. Attachment to old shit, for oldness's sake, has become toxic in my mind in the last few years.

> To leap to a "bias" in what I've observed and pointed out is a pretty far leap. I have no profit motive at all.

A bias doesn't mean you're being paid -- a bias just means you have a preconceived view on a topic (or are primed to have a certain view on a topic based on your other personal views).

Being paid in order to present a particular view (as though it was your own) is called corruption, not bias.

> and the sample size is at least several times larger than the study I linked to above

Both sample sizes are tiny. The study you linked to above (in my view) isn't good science -- it would've been trivial to find more children to take part in the study (and thus a small sample size seems quite fishy). But ~40 mothers also isn't a large enough sample size.

> As far as mother's saying that vaccines triggered autism in their children, I won't leap to deny there's a link. This is not an issue I've looked into much so I don't have an opinion to offer

I will -- there is absolutely no link. This has been shown by hundreds of studies, and the only available counter-evidence is a study from the 1998 which was written by a doctor (Andrew Wakefield) that later lost his medical license because his study was fraudulent. There is no link, and I would recommend not wasting any energy being open-minded about the prospect.

The reason autism rates in children have increased is because we now classify more people as autistic and have a greater understanding of high-functioning autism (since our understanding of autism has improved in the past few decades).

> my experience is that it's wise to listen to mothers who have experience and those in the health care industry have a very long history of ignoring them when they should have been listening.

Mothers are incredibly risk-averse when it comes to their childrens' safety -- this is obviously understandable and important (it's an aspect of our evolutionary biology). But being incredibly risk-averse can also make you incredibly susceptible to fearmongering (which the prevalence of homeschooling and concerning decrease in vaccinations have proven).

I understand the appeal of "mother's intuition", but it really isn't conclusive enough to make decisions about child health (other than the mother's own children). And let's not forget that mothers don't all agree on everything -- so which mothers should be trusted on which topics? This is why you need objective trials (and I agree that the trial you linked above isn't good -- the need for trials isn't invalidated if the current trails are bad or inconclusive).
First, I'd like to say that you're doing fine, no worries.

Second, I'd say go out and join a team or two. This is where you will find deeper connections with other people.

It could be a sports team, a work team, a User Group[0] or anything where you have to cooperatively participate with others based purely on shared interests and goals. Just be sure to pick something you enjoy and to participate fully.

<disclaimer: am old? My kids sure think so>

Ageism is real in many verticals. It is healthy to acknowledge that. It’s equally important to face facts related to age: I am noticeably less focusable, and my memory is not as good. I slowly become less fluent in adopting new tech, and it shows (or feels). Most importantly, I have many out of work responsibilities - parents (not getting younger) and kids (not getting older in sufficient pace). Consequently, odds of me doing after hours learning are diminishing. I don’t do open source any more, nor do I have time for cool side projects. And all that, not the invented stuff in OP, is what makes ageism a thing.

The point is, the parts of traditional medicine that work are adopted by modern medicine. Meaning, although they're still part of traditional medicine, they're no longer distinctive of traditional medicine. Traditional medicine is distinct from modern medicine only by virtue of the parts that don't work.

This is what is meant by the "traditional medicine that works is called medicine" soundbite. The soundbite on its own condenses the argument very imperfectly, and people should be wary of using it.

As someone who has built and published apps on both major platforms, this issue of not being able to speak to someone is a problem on the Apple platform as well (as on Googles). As mentioned in the article, it’s heart wrenching to receive an email saying there is a problem with your app and know that the app or the release you worked so hard on might not get published. Having a release rejected can also be as bad as a termination if that release has a major new feature. The platforms price their developer accounts very low to attract developers but those of us who make a living of it would gladly pay a bigger price to get a higher quality of support. There are many developers who make their living off apps and struggle with the black hole that is app approval and the associated dispute process
