It should be a last resort for people who have been thoroughly screened by MDs and neurologists. According to sleep experts at Stanford at least 25% of people with ADHD/ADD are narcoleptics who've been misdiagnosed. That's a shitload of people who are currently living suboptimal lives because they went to a psychiatrist prior to being evaluated by a neurologist.

I do not have a college degree or bootcamp experience, do not put an "education" section on my resume, and only asked about it ~1/4 times in interviews/contacts. I am paid well at my "lead engineer" role at a fortune 100.

My open source/side project experience has opened doors though I'm sure.
"Everything has to be documented correctly - or else it can’t be billed for or may get rejected on audit."

The clue is right here. This is how complexity in the private health insurance market drives costs and inefficient outcomes into every other aspect of our health care. A thousand different plans each with different billing standards and the software reflects the need to focus on making sure you can meet all the billing standards.
I would say JavaScript backward compatability is one of its biggest sellers? Babel transforms almost any new language feature to be backward comparable with much older specifications
Also, the git CLI in particular is extraordinarily terrible, given how many conceptually different things are done by the same set of commands. (For example: imagine trying to use git checkout in a repo with a file named "master" at the root level.)
The technology is more or less there. But it would require a significant amount of actual product development. The technology is capable of producing pretty much every meat, even new kinds of meat that smell like meat but where evolution did not conveniently evolve an animal to produce it.

For the company the issue is scale, and since the beef market is huge and profitable they are focusing on scale, more then on introducing other products.
I'm really looking forward to this. As far as I can tell, no restaurant or store sells Impossible burgers in my city or anywhere in reasonable driving distance, so this will be my first opportunity to try one.

I have a new challenge for this weekend.
Things are not changing that much faster. What changed was the business model of software companies.

In a distant world the tools took years of closed work to get to version 1 and version 2/3/4 each took a couple of years too. And in most cases what you got was the whole package (Visual C++ with the C++ compiler, the IDE and MFC for example).

Nowadays is all in the open in github or similar. Feedback and updates are faster, community involvement is higher but things are less stable because all the polishing (architecture, interfaces, etc.) is done, from the perspective of the framework writer, "in production".

Basically is the agile business model of release early and often applied to software tools.
It's not the latter. Additional years don't matter as much past 10 or so... you're kind of doing the same types of things over and over as history repeats itself.
In most careers, you top out around 8 years of experience for individual contributor. After that, you add value through scale of managing direct reports.

I had the pleasure of buying technical books at the original Borders in Ann Arbor before the store became a chain. It was an amazing place. RIP Borders.
I go because it's quick, easy, and quite cheap (€2 for a veggie burger in Germany). For 4 bucks I'm full. Kebab is slightly more expensive and has meat, pizza is more expensive (also if you pick it up), and chinese/thai/vietnamese takeaway is more expensive. The snackbar (frituur) might come close, but those don't seem to exist outside of NL/BE.

I'm not actually vegetarian, but trying to eat less meat, mcdonald's makes that extremely easy. When we go, it's quite a no-brainer to take that option.
My partner picked up two Beyond Burgers and a bunch of Beyond Sausages at the local supermarket, and one of the cheap supermarkets to boot!

I hope you are able to find some soon. Home cooking definitely delivers a better experience than Carl's (at least at my house).

Isn't calling the author a bitter boomer the same type of generalization as that sentence you find so offputting?

I'm a Gen X-er, and someone from my generation could have just as easily made the same misguided joke. Acoustic couplers were still quite common when I started using computers in the early 80s. Heck, my high school still used card readers for "data processing" classes right up until the mid-to-late 80s.
Somehow this doesn't surprise me
Just out of interest, what's the reasoning behind a strict separation of the two? I understand it in the case of gluten free products because that can really have health implications, but when you are vegan for ethical reasons it shouldn't make a difference, right?

But I'd say this is great news either way. I like meat, but when there's a way to get the same taste and texture without the bad consequences for animals and environment I'm all for it, and I'm sure many others are the same.

What I'm getting from this is you have a specific agenda against "group think and collective-derived thought processes" and are being purposefully vague, as demonstrated with "...".

I think impossible foods is primarily targeting meat eaters who want to cut back on consumption. They go to lots of effort to replicate taste of meat.
If they can degrade your traffic from 1080p to 720p without a customer complaining, then they don't need to expand their network to support more users which increases their profit margins.

In short, because they can and they're assholes.
Nature has also evolved lots of stuff that would kill you. And many things that are just plain unhealthy. And even those foods you consider 'natural' are highly evolved plants that have been optimized for human consumption by generations of humans. There is very little natural about many of the fruits and vegetables we eat that are actually truly natural.
Hey Ben! (Also) Ben here.

I work in New Jersey, as an Enterprise App Full-stack dev with 0 college experience.

I started as a developer 4 years ago @15/hr, and I recently breached the 6 figure mark. I've told my coworkers that I have a fire lit by a sense of inadequacy. I've always been behind classically trained developers, that is what keeps me pushing forward. Always playing 'catch-up'.

Now that I'm involved in my company's interview process, a few thoughts on what having a college degree does for our offers;

1. Because we hire through an agency, we already have a single layer of vetting that helps remove unqualified persons (both college-level and not), which ensure we have a decent, homogeneous pool to conduct face to face interviews with.

2. Whether we hire a candidate with or without a college background, our the offer range isn't enormous. If we have an offer in mind, (say 75k), having a college degree doesn't automatically grant you the high end of our scale. I can't think of a single instance where we cared about their degree once they were in the Face-to-face. Their performance in the interview dictates their offer, and we aren't asking questions like 'How do you implement bubble sort'. We ask some hard skill questions, sure, but we also ask just as many communication and general problem solving ones as well.

3. The range of starting pay is really small for us (think 75k mid, 70k min, 80k max). So that 3% gap makes a lot of sense.

To summarize, a degree may put you in a position to interview, but the range you get paid is largely depending on a wide array of skills, some of which are unrelated to development. Missing some of the hard-skills won't disqualify you for a position as much as missing the communication skills will (for us).

> My only lingering issue is that it is a highly processed food

As is a huge portion of the food consumed by people today, including things that are marketed as forms of meat. The difference here is that the climate impact of mass-production of beef and the associated mass scale animal cruelty is mitigated.

Quoting from one of my favorite recent commentators on this subject (https://granolashotgun.com/2019/03/12/bite-me/):

"If you think all this talk of laboratory food is ridiculous or unappealing you really need to spend some time discovering where your current food supply comes from. Most of the nitrogen molecules in your body right now were created in a factory using the Haber Bosch method. Natural gas is used to fix atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form needed by plants. Enormous amounts of this synthetic fertilizer is what makes it possible to feed seven billion people. Take away that factory made nitrogen and our crop yields would drop like a stone. Without Haber Bosch nitrogen half the humans on the planet would starve to death. Synthetic food grown in fermentation vats is just a matter of cutting out the inefficient middle steps of agriculture. Like it or not it’s coming to fish sticks, chicken nuggets, and meatballs near you. And you might not even notice."
Libs are all ready to use, you don't need to compile them with babel.

And for stuff you write yourself, they'll only need babel if you (a) want to support some ancient browsers (e.g. IE7), or (b) you want to use fancy new JS features.

If you're OK to target 90% of the people with actual browsers from 3-4 years ago, then you don't need Babel at all (at least not for that).
People talk about forth having no syntax the same way people talk about lisp having no syntax: not entirely correctly. Of course, every textual representation of anything has a syntax, but when people talk about something not having a syntax what they really mean is that the syntax is uniform: there is only one global (uniform) syntax.
Not fully, but I strongly suspect it had a lot to do with the building I work in. My building has no windows. My lab simulates space, so it is a big room that is painted black. Daylight Savings had just stopped, so I was getting an hour of sunlight driving in to work, no sunlight during the day, and leaving after it got dark. I think my circadian rhythms were completed screwed up.

Once you have insomnia for a few weeks it tends to be self-reinforcing. I didn't get adequate medical care during the first few weeks, when it was acute, so it became chronic. I tried, but the doctor wrote me a half-strength prescription for Ambien, and that was all. It didn't work.
Agreed. The entire article rests upon the assumption that once the cap is reached, and the government may not spend anymore money on subsidizing broadband, all those reliant on those subsidies are now in peril.

It shows a narrow way of thinking, and also assumes quite a few things about the US Govt / FCC.

After just glossing over the fact of fiscal responsibility, it assumes budget constraints in this regard are bad, as if a single penny of government money (taxpayer's money) is never wasted or poorly allocated.

Second, the article's attitude seems to take the position (and certainly the comments do) that the government is one of the few (if any?) entities capable of improving access to broadband in these affected areas. I doubt this.

I would also be interested to know if wireless telcos do a better job serving these apparently under-served communities versus their broadband providers. For example, what is the ratio of people who have slow broadband but smartphones with LTE service?

A distant third is that somehow the issue of a budget cap cannot be readjusted at a later date. Or that there are no programs outside of Universal Service that can also augment and support rolling out broadband. Or that you cannot create a new program targeting specific needs, etc...

This is a false dilemma.

It also makes the assumption that broadband equals improved economic development. I don't discount the idea, but I question just how much of an impact it has, in order to use this as leverage against the idea of the budget cap.

Ultimately, we're seeing a lack of imagination to problem solving unless it includes a blank check from Uncle Sam.

That list is probably inspired by Chuck Moore's article "1% the Code" https://web.archive.org/web/20060104084410/http://www.colorf...

He probably means "blocks" instead of files and "a condition system or exception system" instead of "stack underflow."
You technically don't need bundles for Vue. It can be inserted in a plain script tag and work with other tags on the page. You can even do components that way and import them with a script tag. CSS can be done the old fashioned way too. Vue's nice like that. It's easy to not use a bundle or to use one depending on what you'd like to do.

> To remain highly effective, not just being productive, particularly for a project manager, it's imperative to spend time only on tasks that require critical decisions to be made, and to delegate the rest.

This mirrors Andy Grove's practice (detailed in his book High Output Management) of focusing on "high-leverage" activities, where "leverage" he defines as the ratio of output/impact versus time spent.

Oh and just wait until you get to the sleazy methodology for charging those rates. Childbirth for instance, the room will be billed to the Mother for the days before the birth. So the Mother probably meets their deductible, then as soon as the child is born the room and all the things in it get billed to the child who now has a new deductible to hit before the insurance company has to pay their full amount.
Same. When traveling with a group of friends, fast food is sometimes the easiest thing to do. I've gotten lucky recently as some of the breakfast basics are still available at night.
>I was under the impression that MCAS only controlled trim

You said "it manifests" as in situ, and in situ the pilots knew nothing about MCAS. You are continuously injecting present day understanding into the past and then impugning the pilots for not having that same knowledge. It's perverse aside from being anachronistic.

>Lion Air maintenance seems to have failed to replace/fix the AOA sensor

This is more fact free commentary. Why bother? I'm not sure how you've read the KNKT preliminary report on Lion Air 610 when you make such a baseless assertion. It explicitly says it was replaced and tested per manufacturer recommendation.

>They had 7 minutes from reporting flight control problems to the crash.

And what's your point? That in your non-pilot experience it is inconceivable that a plane couldn't be stabilized in 7 minutes and the pilots never arrived at effective troubleshooting state of mind?

Maybe instead of speculating about things you know nothing about and injecting the present as a way to judge the competency of dead people, you'd be better off reading the entire 223 page Air France 447 final report? You can speculate all you want as you read how all of your preconceptions and assumptions are wrong and why.

Was that your personal metrics? Metrics created for yourself are subject to less gaming because when you start lying to yourself about those, you will start to wonder why keep those metrics at all.

If that was a company-issued, top-down metric, I hope it wasn't defined literally as "helping n people in a different department", because that has enough wiggle room to sail an aircraft carrier through. The difficulty of creating a good metric here comes from the difficulty of defining what exactly does it mean, in company context, to "help other people" - and also what it explicitly doesn't mean.

TLDR: Data sharing between competitors ain't gonna work. Data quality is abysmal, requiring more ETL & QA work than you can imagine.

--

My team designed, implemented, and supported 5 exchanges. Here's a PR for three of our customers.

http://newsroom.questdiagnostics.com/press-releases?item=945...

We handled labs, notes, scripts, etc. (Our product didn't touch any of the financials, billing, etc. So I can't speak firsthand to the fraud stuff mentioned in the article.)

Everyone involved understood that data sharing between competitors would never be feasible. In other words, useful interchange requires someone with a big stick, such as single payer.

The push for ICD-10 (from insurers & consultants?) was ridiculous, is a work multiplier, and has zero benefit for patient care.

Our usability was pretty bad, but miles better than others (Epic, Cerner). We had the benefit of a clean slate, but too few resources to hire real, full time UI people. Also, working with (mid 2000s era) doctors was mostly brutal.

That said, healthcare is just about one of the most complicated things I've worked on. And rapidly changing. Of course the user experience sucks. I wouldn't expect any of it to improve until the domain settles down. For example, since lab reporting is industry standardized, we were able to do a pretty good job on those UIs/reports.
Specifically how is it biased ?

You are right that the SLAM dead reckoning trajectory will drift.

We are developing a mapping back-end where we register trajectories to consumer-grade GPS data, performing loop closure, and then doing a batch ICP-like optimization over multiple drives. This mostly eliminates drift as GPS, noisy as it may be, is mostly zero-mean over large areas.

Moving objects are mostly removed or ignored.

We are primarily interested in mapping urban environments for now. The SLAM does not work very well in a featureless corn field.
There can be ethical issues surrounding lab grown meat, mostly around how much energy it takes to produce lab grown meat, and the nature of that energy production.

My guess is that beyond will soon be cheaper than regular meat, but that the requirements for creating lab grown are simply going to be too great to be able to compete economically or ecologically. I'm going to be very happy to be proven wrong someday, but that's my initial, knee-jerk reaction.
