The old school method of sticking the charts to the foot of the patient’s bed has the same pleasant properties that using sticky notes on a board for tasks does.

Anyone that’s struggled with JIRA and just said forget this due to tool impedance will have a good idea of how painful this is. In hospitals I almost never see charts pulled up except on daily rounds. Sure nurses are great and smart people and usually remember everything, but they also work hard long hours and the cost of mistakes can be very high.

You're right, it was the GE-90 that produced 115k. Rest assured, however, that the quantity of #9 rebars remains unchanged.
So those factors listed essentially encompass your personality and dictate why a person does any action.

In that case, how do we hold anyone personally responsible for anything considering that the reason a person does any action is a result of their genetics and the environment they grow in?

Why does Marriott have passport numbers to begin with?

This really comes down to companies simply collecting way too much information. Consumers need to push back against this type of data collection. Only give information which is clearly required for their business and nothing more. Also the companies should only retain that information for long enough to conduct their business.
There's a recent New Yorker article by Atul Gawande covering this from a slightly different angle: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/11/12/why-doctors-ha...

He puts much of the blame on the generalization of computer systems, i.e. that the notes have to be readable by all sorts of staff and need to be systematized to accommodate that.

I'm using the KP health system. Its pretty awesome. Everything in integrated. I can use the website or phone app to check any of my test results. I can message my doctor for a e-consult at no extra cost. They usually reply within half day. I can book most appointments online. If I went to a specialist, I can continue messaging them in the future. And since the doctor is gate keeper, you just need them to approve a procedure and it will happen.

A lot of countries require hotels to collect information that proves that the guest is there legally.
Right, but they're able to be audited against each other, even though they have separate geographic catchments. Significant discrepancies can be then analyzed.

Folks who view single-payer as a system without checks need to know how those checks do in fact occur.
No problem! It was hard for me moving from dev to management. I think a key difference in the tasks is that the majority of management tasks are personal and cannot be collaborative or even public. They involve peoples feelings and behavior. Sharing them to scrum the problem would shame people for no reason and cause a mutiny. As a manager, my task is to catch chaos and distill it to comforting direction. You can’t write good software if you are aware of the terror of the day to day. Daily terror should be invisible to my team so when real emergencies happen, it’s not stacked on a constant pressure of minor annoyance. Predictability in the day is so critical for engineers to produce amazing shit. Predictability allows for room to experiment.

I think that is why journaling is so effective. If you rely on dev tools and tracking for management tasks without journaling you have no outlet for the real work of the job, sifting human conflict and ambition into a rewarding work environment. Through that, building a cohesive historical narrative that can act in defense of my teammates when shifting goals make engineering look like it failed and giving a concrete foundation for process improvement.

This is really, really neat. Never would have thought that Babel could be used for instrumentation, though after a bit of digging it looks like https://istanbul.js.org/ uses a similar trick!

Is there a way to integrate this into a local dev environment without needing to run the MITM proxy? (For instance, if you know you're loading everything through a single bundle.) Could be a really popular dev tool if so.

Also, have you considered using IndexedDB to store the logs client-side, further removing the need for a backend? Storage should be practically unlimited if you have free drive space on desktop Chrome.
Yes, they sound very expensive! As I understand, even earlier than that there were Time-Sharing computing businesses in the 60s and early 70s that charged per-hour for computing time which were expensive. I guess we have come a full circle now with cloud computing though the modern ones are comparatively less expensive.

GDPR fines primer for tech people
There are any number of persistent myths attached to the popular conception of 12 step programs.

I am in no way an expert on AA, but I have researched various addiction treatment methods fairly extensively and am close to people who work professionally in recovery programs.

The idea that AA reinforces the "moral failing" aspect of addiction seems contrary to everything I've ever read, heard, or seen in regards to AA.

There may be a sense in which what you wrote is true, depending on defining very hard to define words such as "moral" ... I say that to apply the principle of charity to your comment as liberally as possible.

My problem with you writing what you wrote is that it could discourage someone from seeking help. AA is free and nearly ubiquitous. It is decentralized and the implementation varies considerably from group to group. People can relatively easily find meetings and just walk in. Whether or not it is the best fit for any given addict, it is often the first step someone takes on a very difficult road.

I don't think it in any way serves the common good to make discouraging comments about it. Especially if they are potentially misleading, which IMO yours is.
>However, the experience was so drama, and more importantly self-loathing, free and so effective,

I remember reading a while ago that this is the main problem with 12 step programs. Not that they don't work (they often do), but the manner in which failure is viewed. With typical medical and therapy treatments, if one treatment (psychological or chemical) is not working, the attitude of the doctor is to consider other treatments. The claim was that with the 12 step program, if it doesn't work for a person, the person is the problem. The notion that the 12 step program isn't for everyone is usually absent.
Who would trust those?
"Who would risk building their company on a stack that you lose the license for if you do too well?"

A similar question exists for laborers that need to invest in learning tech stacks. Why spend time mastering something that certain companies are discouraged from using? Especially if a non-encumbered variant exists.

Wouldn't it be more practical to learn tech that employers can easily use?
Quebecers have more 'control over their destiny' than at any time in history, so if that were the case this were an issue, it would have been evident generations ago.

Imo this is the missing puzzle piece (and the more important one for me personally) for software supply chain security, the other ones being deterministic builds and signed binaries.

And the real problem aren't even people trying to steal your bitcoins [1], you notice that and hopefully had not all your eggs in one basket, it's a (sometimes expensive) lesson in IT security. The much more serious threat are state level actors trying to backdoor secure communication channels, the breach will happen without your knowledge. One shouldn't expect that every nation will take the obvious and public route like the Australian government [2], simply demanding access. With enough resources it seems totally viable to backdoor just one deep dependency of some UI framework and circumvent all end to end encryption used by affected apps.

I hope distributed code review will get some traction not only in the Rust world, but in the whole open source universe.

Because Elon wanted to advertise his cars as having all the hardware necessary, because the automotive automation hype is very real. He wanted to sell luxury cars to tech enthused idealists, but he didn't want to cut down on his profit margins by actually delivering what he was selling.

The fact that he always admitted the software was lacking gave him plenty of cover. It allows his customers to continue to believe, even though their car can't actually drive itself. That's the beauty of selling hopes and dreams instead of anything concrete.
A while back I had a doctor where you could access everything via the online portal. I don't think some of the employees there realized that as there was some truly shocking stuff in there. One thing I learned was that anything I said which could possibly be misconstrued in a negative light was noted in my record as if the negative connotation was accurate.

Health care? Since when is health care in the US paid for by the federal government? Robot doctors and surgeons, not during my lifetime, but robot infantry support is more like it. You still need taxes to pay for those aircraft carriers and the robots and the personnel that maintains and fixes the robots. Then what are they going to do about the interest rates? Devalue the dollar? Start a war like Germany did? Or maybe just get a haircut.

I worked with one when I was an outside vendor.

90% of their IT staff's time was calling up their vendors support teams and convincing them to join a conference call together and then telling vendors from different companies to just make it work, whatever it was. They thought that was just how you did things.

Eventually we told them "naw we're not doing that anymore stop eating our support team's time". They threatened to move on to another vendor and tried... but couldn't actually pull it off because... they simply didn't have the manpower or technical knowledge.
Interesting, so no more nVidia hardware...
I think this is based on a fear of having an API that wasn't needed and needs to be maintained forever. I bet that Linux's syscall design would be much nicer if iterating on APIs was possible (as we see in other Unix-likes).

My personally least favourite syscall design misstep is how VFS flags work. AT_ flags were supposed to be generic but we now have AT_STATX_, O_ flags are overused, and some at(2) syscalls like renameat2(2) have their own brand of flags (RENAME_). Internally VFS has uniform flags for lookup and other various things, so it's a bit silly that these flags are all basically incompatible.

(Also, the fact that O_RDWR != O_RDONLY|O_WRONLY is just silly. It takes up just as many bytes but makes life needlessly difficult when designing new extensions to openat(2).)

I just got enlightened. I’ve used both SQL and NoSQL for years now. In my simplistic view of the world I was convinced relational data goes in SQL and denormalized KV single access pattern go to NoSQL. Tools I was using don’t offer the secondary index option. This blew my mind that I could suppport a full relational model in DynamoDB. Thanks for sharing this!
There are no books to read or videos to watch that will teach you this. It is about being your best self and being above average at every competency on a product delivery team.

Here's my approach, it is very simple: Embody the principles you believe in, encourage trusting and respectful relationships, and focus on doing what you can to let others excel in their areas of expertise.

I can't wait for the day when we figure out how to "scale to zero" with database engines and also still provide quick starts. The serverless model is fantastic for smaller projects that can't justify the monthly cost of RDS. I was super excited about Aurora Serverless until I found out cold starts take about 30 seconds, and even longer if you use a VPC to connect to it from a Lambda function. The single table approach with DynamoDB would work, but the amount of cognitive effort necessary compared to just using a relational database isn't worth it for small toy projects.

every time I've done it the response is always defensive, ie "why do you need them"

I was asked this once after requesting mine. I flatly said "I don't", and waited. The person on the other end of the line was clearly thrown off by this, probably expecting something they could dish out a canned response to, hoping I'd give up. It was obvious from their voice they were scrambling for what to say to that.

A bit of rigmarole later, I had my medical records.
My point is, if you're allowing arbitrarily deep abstraction you can make almost any task trivial by just using something that basically already does what you're trying to do. The point the parent was making was how, with almost no abstraction at all, you could do graphics on an Amiga in a few lines, but to do the equivalent on a modern system at the lowest reasonable level of abstraction takes a lot more effort. Comparing that to a giant abstraction layer is missing the point.

> you can't use OpenGL without it.

Yes you can. You can't even pretend that coding once against SDL will absolve you of having to deal with platform issues, it just helps a lot.

> and creation of 3D images in bmp is excellent exercise you should try.

I'm a hobbiest game dev who almost exclusively uses software rendering (albeit to a framebuffer that gets pasted onto the screen with OpenGL as the path of least resistance). I've also written image libraries. None of this has anything to do with the parent comment.

The regulations are outdated (fax is considered secure communication, as I've harped on before.) There's no patient visibility into these systems, so they don't see just how outdated and broken they are. I think that the biggest problem is this relentless focus on the short term-upgrading systems will cause problems now even if in the long run they'll pay huge dividends. Sort of similar to how medical professionals work extremely long hours with inadequate sleep.

The printing press was subsidized by the Catholic Church as a way of reducing costs and increasing spread of their primary asset: the Bible.

They didn't realize this would drive down startup costs of presses by creating more press techniques and technicians looking to acquire new customers. With Church backing, the bar-to-entry for spreading information dropped until anyone could spread information, including anti-Church factions such as the Protestants. This did not end up well for the Church.

The same is true for America, their obsession with spreading democracy, and the transistor AKA the American Printing Press.

Once information propagation becomes cheap, noise floods everything, and trolling is the only effective way to create lasting context.
There are two sets of settings for auto-scaling reads and writes, but you can turn them both on.

> The purpose of the US Navy is to keep trade routes open.

That's an important function of every blue-water navy, but it's hardly their sole purpose.

> When countries close their ports we have an absolute conniption.

You're still on this? When has this happened? Please give us even one example that's less than 150 years in the past. Forget the conniption part; can you even point to an example of a country "closing their ports" to all trade?

The U.S. (along with every other powerful nation in history) has a long and storied history of military aggression in service of its own economic good, and American military policy has often been plainly captured by corporate interests.

But the assertion you're making here, based on something that happened two centuries ago, is complete nonsense, and makes light of the ills that actually do afflict American foreign policy.

When countries erect barriers to trade with the U.S., our government's reliable response is... wait for it! ...to erect reciprocal barriers in the form of quotas or tariffs, and then relentlessly work toward free trade agreements, preferably under the auspices of an international trade organization. Is that perhaps what you mean by having a conniption?
One of the trainers mentioned in this article, Ben Kenyon, is actually a neighbor of mine. He lives in the same apartment complex. I haven't seen him since the season started but when I do he always seems like he's running at 150%. I have no idea how these guys do it.

But I can attest to the benefits of straight black coffee with grass fed butter, it takes a while to get used too and you can't overdo it (you'll get the runs) but it provides a noticeable energy boost while also being a bit satiating from the fat.
Putting form before function is almost never a good idea. If they actually got ugly Level 5 automation to work, it would sell. Period. And it would sell well enough to likely change public perception of what looks good and what looks ugly. Changes in technology causing changes in fashion is well documented.

I'm in kidney failures (due to an auto-immune disease.) I have to do dialysis every day. I'm super careful with diet and lifestyle. But many people are not.
