Sure, and I would never recommend that indirection be used all the time as that would be premature.

However, if compilation times have gotten painful enough that we need to examine performance improvements to our headers, the pImpl pattern is one of many tools in the toolbox. So are forward headers and other compiler firewall techniques.
Count me in... I would love a full spec USB-C charger with 100+ watt total output across, say, four or five USB-C ports. Maybe add an A or two for good measure, perhaps with QC.

I do carry an Anker with one USB-C and four A for travel with my (USB-C) laptop(s).

While I am wishing... A USB-C hub (bus powered or from a PD input) with full speed USB-C ports, maybe 4-6, and an A or two for good measure.

Uh, well, it’s not about whether the platform serves the content well, or whether the platform introduces disruptive artifacts into the delivery.

It’s really about finding the eyeballs where they live, because there might be no other way to get in front of them.

Some platforms really can claim a monopoly on a cross section of eyeballs that only use their site. Some people only use Twitter. Some people only use Facebook.

Much in the same way some people absolutely refuse all name brand social media. How do you barge in and get in front of them? Well, that’s the trick, isn’t it? Most people engage in this sort of isolation, because they don’t want advertisers barging in, and prying into their maxed-out attention span.

How is this problem fixed on Linux?

Headers/libraries on an Ubuntu LTS may be years out-of-date.

Am I supposed to just download a tar.gz and do the configure/make/make install dance to /usr/local or /opt or something for each dependency that I need a more current version of?

Even worse - what if my deployment target is 3-4 years older than the machine I'm developing/compiling on?

I don't think anything is "solved" with a traditional UNIX environment. Not even close.
Alright, I'm generally sorta amused by those ideas popping up in the brain that minuscule interactions are somehow vaguely important, like the “don't step on cracks”―though I keep wondering if they're just remnants of child's imagination or more of a symptom of some peculiarity.

But this one takes the cake.

Until now, Piotr Kamler's surrealistic otherworldly cartoons were the closest thing (for me) to these ideas of the brain that the world functions by different laws―animations like ‘Chronopolis’ and ‘The Ephemeral Mission’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me5UUK37Vc4

You have to use a PoW that's different enough from popular blockchains that they are unable to use speciality hardware against you.
TL;DR

- Ulysses--write blog posts

- Paper (former Paper53) drawings

- Blink--terminal

- Dash--API Document viewer

- Things--To do manager

So all the actual development is done remotely using a terminal. I could use a cheap Android tablet for that. I was hoping for software that uses more of what the hardware is capable of.
My guess is that they want to preemptively dispel cynical low-brow dismissals such as: "that's effectively $0 because startups burning VC cash won't show a profit for years, if ever".

I'm sure you could figure out an experimental protocol. The book I referenced, The Sense of Being Stared At, presumably applies mathematics and statistics to the experiments. But I haven't read it, and I don't care enough at the present time to really dig into the text and respond to your whole comment.

Chapter 11 is titled "Experiments on the sense of being stared at". Page 168 begins the discussion of Titchener and Coover's papers. The present PNAS paper's authors say these papers supposedly "showed that [...] people cannot actually detect the gaze of another in the absence of specific sensory information" [quote from the submission].

Sheldrake says, "Titchener's paper was very influential, and was widely cited by skeptics for more than 100 years, even though he said nothing about the actual experiments except that they were negative." Coover's paper was discussed a bit, then "By reinforcing Tichener's negative conclusions, Coover's work seemed to put an end to the matter from a scientific point of view. His paper was published in 1913."

Someone supposedly re-did Coover's experiment in 1939, and found the results statistically significant.

If you're actually interested in the subject, the ebook version of Sheldrake's book is $12 or so. Otherwise you're just fighting with a straw man [1].

>Majority rule is not “the basic ethical grounds for representative democracy”.

Yes, it very much is.

>US was set up as a constitutional republic specifically to limit the simple majority mob rule.

The US was set up to preserve the power of the rural landowner class. It wasn't intended to be a representative democracy initially, and has only moved imperfectly towards representative democracy over time, with great struggle.

Rule by a minority elite claiming the mantle of national authenticity as its exclusive possession is, ethically speaking, far less legitimate than that of plain, old-fashioned majorities.
> I don't think changing argv[0] in the current process will have any effect in the /proc file system.

Yes it does. This is a standard trick for changing the process name at runtime, several daemons do this to change the process name of child processes created by fork() that aren't separate executable. For instance, OpenSSH's sshd sets the child-process for a session to "sshd: USERNAME [priv]".

`exec -a` lets you set argv[0] through an execve() call, but many times you want to set it without exec'ing a new program.

You cap healthcare prices for insurers because they are heavily influencing the provider prices.

Both institutions work in tandem[0] with one another to establish pricing guidelines. That's why your hospital-purchased ibuprofen is $10 per pill instead of $6 per bottle. The insurer and hospital "work out" a price that let's them achieve the profit needed to pay their administrative costs, plus margin.

In the USA(this is all from a US citizen's perspective), there are regulations that limit what percentage(15% in my state) of an insurer's income can be profit vs administrative cost. This means that a higher hospital price results in a higher profit for the insurance provider. This provides both parties an opportunity to set prices for an optimal profit. With government-mandated health insurance participation, the pool of people paying into this system has increased.

It is what is. Tell your elected official if you think it would help.

I really resonate with your comment - to me, beauty is not only aesthetic, but a much more profound concept. The Japanese have special indescribable words that all mean beauty - but in various contexts and sensibilities.

To have presented cartographically accurate, factual information + aesthetic creativity would be so much more beautiful.

I see this in art where the beauty of the piece is "shallow" - i.e., aesthetic. The other end of this spectrum is conceptual art and the whole dada thing; beauty here is conceptual. When an art piece combines both, it makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up (for e.g. Francis Bacon's paintings). The more you try to find out about the piece, the more you get "sucked" into the abyss of its beauty.

> But for wallet size, the risk is not that someone steals your cryptocurrency from your wallet, but that your cryptocurrency becomes less valuable because other people recognize risks more immediately as a result of discovering and publicizing a successful attack. But that has most to do with how other people respond to the news of the successful attack, which is harder to predict.

And that's going to be governed by irrationality, especially given the irrationally exuberant bubble effects of the cryptocurrency market in the first place. But once that wears off...I don't know. If you somehow managed to make a cryptocurrency that couldn't be profitably attacked, and made the base minimum cost of such an attack high enough, you'd still be vulnerable to a state-level adversary, but every system is vulnerable to a state-level adversary.

If that's the case, then don't forget that a huge part of US drug market is marketing. Those expensive pharma reps are not a usual thing outside of US, and provide no value when it comes to the healthcare system overall.

When it comes to some really interesting drugs, prices and their accessibility are really strange.

Take HIV infection preventing Truvada. The "market" price of 30 pills is $1600 in US. It's a good drug for continuous mass use for Gilead. Instead of making it pretty much ubiquitous as vitamins, they chose to target only US market for the low volume high margins. So... I'm actually annoyed with Gilead over this. I own stock and getting good deals in Europe could get up to 50mil people on daily dose of it. That would push the stock wildly up! With 0 extra marketing, as it's not high on adverse reactions with massive preventative benefits.
Mainly cost. Right now a GaN mosfet costs 10x more than a silicon one of similar power rating.

Agreed. In the old world, this is what an alpha/beta/gamma environment could help test against. The in memory could be used to make sure your units and overall components were correctly specified. The actual installs of the DB software to isolated schemas were where you made sure you integrated with the DB correctly.

That all said, I did not mean this to be that Docker doesn't provide some value. Just pointing out it is not a prerequisite. If that makes sense.
It could also be the sensor, say if certain pixels were slightly less sensitive than the surrounding ones. You could run statistical analysis of the image and spot the similarities.
It is availbale, almost, everywhere but be careful with the version, different Linux diatros are at different versions, the last time I used OSX it was stuck on a very old version, and I expect the different BSD OSes to run fairly new versions.
> ie, requiring very specific ergonomics. If you have to change what you're doing, it's a new domain to learn.

Resque & Sidekiq build this in by converting job arguments to JSON. There's nothing extra to learn.

> I didn't mention ETS or Mnesia? The OP was talking specifically about using job queues to get concurrency/parallelism, in which case you absolutely don't need job queues. If you need a job queue, you need a job queue.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about building a background job system in Erlang using out of the box OTP but it sounds like you're actually talking about trying to get parallelism in Ruby by doing RPC over Sidekiq? That's always a bad idea!

> Redis queues have millisecond latency, Ruby using Redis queues does not. That's the part that polls when there's nothing else going on. If you're never running out of jobs to do then your latency is fast, but you're also not accomplishing things as fast as possible(since it's waiting on whatever is in front of it).

Ahhh! When Mike Perham says "Sidekiq Pro cannot reliably handle multiple queues without polling" what this really means is a Redis client can only block on and immediately process from the highest priority queue. The lower priority queues are only checked when blocking timeout expires. There's no "check all queues and sleep" polling loop which adds artificial latency.

On macOS almost everyone uses the homebrew package manager https://brew.sh. Installing bash is harder because you have to add the filepath of the new bash binary to /etc/shells and then set that filepath as your default shell, but

brew install bash
echo /usr/local/bin/bash | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash

and if you're on macOS and still haven't heard of homebrew, you first need to install it with

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

there is an other thread concerning the use of apps or social media algos to "diagnose" a mental status and make a welfare check call to the police
Every time I read an article like this I end up baffled. I don’t live in the US (or Europe) and even in this part of the world I know that my health is taken care of. I might get a higher bill by choosing a private clinic to get a single room or a hotel-like experience, but if I choose to I can pay zero for a broken arm or even heart surgery. If the ambulance is closer to a private facility, then there’s where I am taking to, I’m not paying extra for that.
I’m tempted to tell you to take your hostile insulting response and shove it. WTF?

Most municipalities in the US has some kind of minimum dwelling size, sometimes varying by zone. They can be anywhere from a few hundred square feet to about a thousand square feet (or occasionally bigger). Like other local laws, they vary widely in the details.

You can check local municipal zoning codes for whatever specific community you are interested in. San Jose is one of the rare places which apparently does not have such a rule. Though sometimes building codes enforce minimum sizes when zoning laws per se do not – I don’t care enough to go read through the San Jose building codes.

For more general discussion, if you do a web search for “minimum house size” you will get millions of results.

That’s not an unreasonable charge for an MRI and I’d argue that you got off quite lightly. You can’t diagnose many of the potential problems shoulders have from an x-ray but a good clinical examination will catch many of them, with an MRI for confirmation. Labral tears would be an example of this.

No, you're (usually)supposed to stick with the out of date version rather than the shiny new version. Doing otherwise is taking on the responsibilities of a distro maintainer, usually not consciously.

Either use the older version for developing or at least have a version of that environment for CI.

Not really, most of the costs go straight to shareholders. 25% of our spending is "Administrative costs" aka profits for investors. The issues of American healthcare are well documented and not a mystery.

It boils down to two clear facts:

1) The US has no price controls whatsoever

2) The US has a for-profit system where your health is a business.

It's not that complicated. The rest of the world has it figured out for the most part.

It's about to stop working out very well for Japan. The costs in their system are exploding higher rapidly and putting everything at risk. Their system won't remain intact for much longer at the rate healthcare costs are outpacing economic growth.

Here's the relevant chart: https://i.imgur.com/s97bp9R.jpg

"Health-Care Paradox Threatens to Add to Japan’s Debt Problems"

"Japanese seniors, who enjoy the world’s longest life expectancy, pay as little as 110 yen ($1) out of pocket for specialist appointments. While these visits may help prevent expensive-to-treat diseases, they’re becoming unaffordable in a country where almost 1 in 7 people is 75 years or older, and annual health-care expenditure grew at a pace 40 times faster than the economy from 2000 to 2016."

IME, using precompiled headers with gcc is largely a waste of time. I desperately wanted it to be otherwise. I tried many variants: including everything, nothing, a few select, commonly used headers. No matter what I tried, nothing was faster than no PCH. This is a project that has ~90k LOC in 136 object files and compiles in about 2 minutes on 64 cores.

Yes, I was measuring time to rebuild everything (including the PCH) from scratch. So it's probable that incremental compilation is slightly faster using PCH, it's just not nearly as much as I was hoping for.
I was actually working on something similar for my blog. I want to abstract away github though (average visitor might not have a github account), but whatever suggestion / fix the web visitor makes gets saved and turned into a PR so that the author can easily merge.
