Many high-level decisions fail to take into account lower-level intricacies.

For example, assuming you live in Germany (for the sake of concreteness) and you want to move down the chain from pork to seafood.

1. Are you aware of fish rated as green, yellow or red?

2. Are you aware of other consideration, such as logistics and methods (e.g.: aquaculture vs. wild)?

3. Do you have access to local and sustainable pork (but perhaps not seafood)?
Not just -u - always <set -euo pipefail> unless you have a good reason. Fail on non-zero exit code outside of some special cases, undefined variables, and non-zero exit codes in a pipeline. And always use shellcheck, shellcheck is too good not to use tbh.

It should be measured within the geographic bounds of where you can relatively freely and easily move within. If you're making 80k, maybe don't live in San Francisco (or do, but then you need to cut back other expenses).

And yes, I know, it's not easy to move for everyone to another city or region because of several reasons, but generally speaking most Americans could move to another region where they would get a similar paying job and more value for their buck.

The order in that list may depend on how the animal is farmed. For example, in some countries the beef is raised outdoors on grass and the pork is raised indoors.
This is a pretty big generalization. If you've stepped foot in many construction sites and seen no "drama" between workers, you weren't paying attention.

I also had something to do with the RTB ecosystem. You have a point, but I was also impressed at how low the standards were, how cheaply you could target an immense amount of people, and how nothing is enforced.

A total nobody could easily spend O($1000) and serve malware to millions of people, served out of his own ad server. If he was going through a DSP there would be some sort of approval of ads but no enforcement that the same ad was the one actually being served. This was when Flash was still around and unsandboxed on most browsers and buggy as hell.

Oh, and the industry-standard self-hosted ad server was a PHP thing which carried a backdoor for months/years before anyone noticed. Someone just replaced the tarball on the developer's site and went unnoticed.

And the people selling data... do most people know that this is possible: you buy a car, offline, at company X. They have your phone number. You visit website Y, type your phone number. You visit site Z, they can buy your phone number from website Y, and match that to your phone from the car company which sold your data to third-party W, and know for a fact which car you bought. No profiling, statistics, guessing, inference. They have the actual data. Costs O($0.25).

This was years ago, frankly I doubt things improved and I doubt they are as cash-rich now.
Many doctors hate full body scans. Every individual has a handful of anomalies which are almost always benign. They show up on full body scans and chasing them down comes with cost and patient risk.

I have a hard time with reporting like this that doesn't quantify cost of biopsy on false-positives as well as cost of complications from examining false-positives.

I used to think the same way when I was passionate about my job in my previous company. However now I feel I was exploited and may be got burnt out due to that. Also I was not working on any altruist project so my passion probably didn't help make this world better.
I think it is important to balance passion with your personal and social commitments. I hope you are doing that.
Not at all. That level of pattern recognition is much easier than the actual hard problems involved in getting driverless cars working.

The hard problems, right now, are things like recognizing where the road is when it (and everything beside it) is under an inch and a half of snow, or where you're supposed to drive when there's construction and the lanes are shifted (assuming no new standard means are developed to indicate this), or how to recognize, and what to do, when the road you want to take is under a foot of rushing water—or washed out altogether.

This is the thing that continues to baffle me. There are genuine, hard problems between where we are now and a nation of completely autonomous cars. But every time there's a discussion about it, even on a site like Hacker News where people should have the background to recognize the difference, most of the problems people bring up are the kind that self-driving cars either are now or can fairly easily become good at dealing with.
Not all MRI machines are equal, though, so it's hard to tell without specifics.

A low field 0.2T machine might be $150k. A full bells+whistles 3T machine might be $3M.
Of course. I long developed that inner rule: whenever i am going to execute any business transaction and know i will not feel guilty as a result, i am going to be taken advantage of and should not do it.
What a terrible attitude! You're happy to write shit code because it'll be someone else's problem to deal with by that point?!

I can understand not being dogmatic about SOLID, design patterns and the like, but doing any old shit because you can get away with it is pretty disgraceful IMO. That kind of behaviour certainly wouldn't fly outside of "The Valley".
Does anyone know of cases in "logistics, to manufacturing, to field services" where this is being used? I'm not being skeptical, I just hadn't heard of this and it seems interesting
Outside of tech, there are certainly industries that thrive on low-paid junior workers and get away with it because there are so many desperate for a "foot in the door" that they don't have to pay more e.g. entertainment, most D.C. gov jobs.

>If the NYT or whatever started advertising for its audience, I wouldn't have shoes ads all over the place as soon as I buy a pair of shoes on amazon.

Just as an aside, I don't get how that works. I buy a thing on Amazon... then I get ads for the thing I just bought.

This happens often. Guies.... I already gave you my money, I'm not buying two TVs now...
I'm sure my team will read this (hi!) but for me it was because I was already helping fill a leadership void as we were and still are a small company. I found that I cared a lot about my team and their success and wanted to help them solve their problems.

I think if you're doing it for money you can be successful but I'd argue that in terms of dollars per hour worked x stress level doesn't make it worth it financially unless you're at a really high level.

I also think you should try to find ways to lead without being a manager and to see if you enjoy it.

It's difficult to examine his comments without historical context: I haven't dealt with any code from that era, but there is still plenty of Fortran 77 code from ~20 years later where the use of gotos makes it difficult to understand control flow, e.g.:
https://github.com/JuliaMath/openspecfun/blob/master/amos/zb...

That said, gotos are still occasionally very useful: jumping out of nested loops and implementing finite-state machines are both made much easier and clearer via gotos than trying to force them into more standard control flow statements.

The linux kernel also makes judicious use of gotos for cleaning up error handling: https://koblents.com/Ches/Links/Month-Mar-2013/20-Using-Goto...

> preferred by patients and involving less exposure to radiation

I thought MRIs didn't have any radiation exposure as opposed to X-Rays and CT scans; unsure about this benefit of less exposure to radiation from 1 whole-body MRI vs multiple MRIs (should be the same IMO)

I refuse to install even manufacturers printer drivers on my Windows computers because of all the crapware that comes with them. On the rare occasion that I need to print, I just do it from my iPhone/iPad to my AirPrint compatible printers.

Luckily, most of the time, you don’t need printer drivers for consumer printers for Macs. They mostly support AirPrint.

Not necessarily. You could love your job and compensation and all ... but that could change when you realize someone of your rank is earning double for the same work.

"Loving" is not binary. There might be room to love it even more, especially if they stop taking advantage of you.
I think your comment sums up my working life better than the article.
Rewrites of subsystems, one at a time, is not as risky as a wholesale rewrite, which Joel warns about. Some parts may be harder/riskier than others of course. Python scripts to OOP might reuse a lot depending on how it was written.

My favorite clips from This Old House is when the hosts talk about how much better the new tools and techniques are and why.
I've worked jobs where I loved that exact job and I was willing to compromise and make less money than I otherwise might elsewhere to stay in that situation.

Everyone understood that to be the case, me, employer.

I don't think the employer was taking advantage of me, they were creating the exact environment that I really enjoyed.... that was the trade.

I was also involved in a situation where we had some inters we hired who put in a TON of extra work (the other interns very much not so...). These guys didn't have to but they put in a lot of work as interns and kept at it after that. They were paid less than those around them (granted still paid quite well) with more experience, but in return they got to start in a position that they otherwise would not start in (more experience required), and that took extra work on their part to get caught up.

They loved the work, their careers got a pretty big boost and after a while they were making roughly the same as everyone else (ballpark).

I think half the battle here is communication. Talk to your boss and get on the same page if you can.

Sitting in your cube and convincing yourself you're being taken advantage of doesn't mean you are.
Oh yea... D&D should have just passed the season to new producers and move on to other projects. They effectively killed GoT and HBO at the same time. And I expect fans to sabotage their Star Wars films as payback.

There’s a big difference though between decent conversation with strangers and long-lasting friendships.

I’d even say it’s detrimental to always expect the latter from the former. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater!
Duff's device is sort-of an example of this, as cases in C are equivalent to goto labels.

It's an interesting point, though. I don't think I've ever seen anybody actually use gotos for this, and I don't remember ever doing it myself. (I will happily put a goto label anywhere that will compile - I'm not against goto in principle.)

I'd assume it's because 99% of the time there's always some other non-goto option that could be used, and C programmers are accustomed to thinking about their programs in terms of these constructs, rather than necessarily goto. goto is always there when all else fails - but when it comes to loops, all else fails rather rarely.

Some (non exhaustive) examples.

Just thinking about the loop mechanics: jumping into the middle of a C for loop probably isn't super-useful, as you're only skipping the one-time init, which you could skip anyway: just leave it empty and put that code elsewhere. Then maybe turn the loop into a while loop? - that's an option. Anyway, for and while are basically equivalent for the purposes of this discussion.

Jumping into the body of a do...while makes it a while, and jumping into the middle of a while makes it a do...while. So C programmers would just write the right sort of loop in the first place.

goto X; ---> do {
while(cond) { A;
X: } while(cond);
A;
}

goto X; ---> while(cond) {
do { A;
A; }
X:
} while(cond)

And regarding the body: jumping halfway into the body is equivalent to one of those annoying loops where the setup for the condition is rather involved. One option here is an infinite loop with a break in the middle, so C programmers might just write the loop that way in preference to the one with a goto.

goto X; ---> for(;;) {
while(cond) { B;
A; if(!cond) break;
X: A;
B; }
}

The do...while case is equivalent.

goto X; ---> for(;;) {
do { B;
A; if(!cond) break;
X: A;
B; }
} while(cond);

Or another option is to pop B in a function, that checks the condition.

while(B()) {
A;
}

That assumes zero-sum, and one-time transactions. Two parties can have a transaction where both go away happy, neither was taken advantage of, and both would like to do it again. If you push to have a transaction that's to your advantage, you might get one, and you might also make someone less inclined to do business with you again.
A few years back that was the "japanese problem": the price of MRI machines started falling but the act itself (whose price is set by policy / negotiations) hadn't been revised yet, so every clinic started getting one, which contributed to the price falling, and a price revision or two later the price was revised to ~$100, but the cheap MRIs and habit to use them remained.

We're talking circa 2010, around the time of the obamacare debate in the US.
From the article:

"In one study, participants who read that an artist was strongly passionate about his job said it was more legitimate for the boss to exploit the artist than those who read the artist wasn’t as passionate. This finding extended to asking for work far beyond the job description, including leaving a day at the park with family and cleaning the office bathroom."

These are regular people taking part in a survey, saying that it's OK to make a passionate person cancel a family weekend outing TO CLEAN THE OFFICE BATHROOM.
This is out of the line. You were given civil arguments for why systemd requires Dbus but in your response, you accuse the other person of being a jerk and "big-timeing". Please use the strongest interpretation of other people's claims on the topic, before using them as a means to accuse them of wrongdoing.

There are others that are less expensive if you do some searching, like https://radiologyassist.com/ (depending on where you live).

Also, if you call independent MRI centers they will usually give you a much lower cash price (but then insurance won't reimburse).

Another point to consider is that hospital MRIs can cost 10x (ten times) more than independent MRI centers.

And while we're talking about MRIs, it's important to mention that the safer contrast agents are the macrocyclics. Avoid the linear agents if you are concerned about possible gadolinium deposits in your brain and other organs, and potential kidney damage.
Out of all the things that the feds could be subsidizing. This one seems like a no brainer to me. Seriously we subsidized agriculture to avoid people starving. Why not MRI machines to avoid people dying from avoidable diseases? Instead of it being a luxury we could scan everyone once every 6 months.

Who am I kidding? That actually requires a forward thinking government.
To be clear, you choose at install time. There is no official installer (on purpose), so the user either decides to turn to page x for OpenRC or page y for systemd.

You really don't have to play devil's advocate, one of them is illegal.

I want to work on my Subaru Forester. I want to replace my own brakes, my own spark plugs, my own transmission fluid, my own wheel bearings, even my own timing belt.

If you can create an augmented overlay, showing the exact step-by-step process to performing these operations, yeah, I want that.

Imagine you have to replace your spark plugs, you load up the Spark Plug software, and it shows you the exact spark plug and model you need. Then it shows you the tools you need. And when you look at your engine, an overlay of the spark plug animates with how you lift a box, and then pull the spark plug, and then pull the spark plug cable, then replace it. See the problem isn’t just replacing the spark plug, it’s knowing how to get to the spark plug in the first place. That would be something I’d buy.
Yet another anecdote: Several years ago, my wife had her birth control switched to the generic by our pharmacy. The day after she started taking it she became extremely nauseated, it passed later that day. The next day, the same thing. After the third time, we realized that it wasn't a coincidence, she stopped with that pill and the nausea ended.

After some online research, we found the generic was manufactured in India and some people had mentioned a similar issue with the product. It took us switching pharmacies to get back on the name brand.

Not the greatest article. From another one:
"Standard NHS pathways often involve different imaging techniques - such as CT, PET-CT or focused MRI scans - which vary in accuracy in different organs."

... so they do targeted scans (with radiation risk) as their normal practice. That kind of makes sense, since the resolution of those scans is much better than WB-MRI.
Yeah, I will say my spending without Prime is drastically lower than my spending with. I use super saver shipping, so what not having Prime does is force me to wait until I have a few items to place an order, and often, that leads me to decide I really didn't need that item anyways. I used to pick up Prime around Black Friday for deals/Christmas shopping, but they made no minimum shipping free for everyone this past year during the season anyways, meaning there was no point in even doing that.

I did accept the 30 days they just gave me, so I have Prime again for the moment, but will not let it renew/charge. I'm doing some household crud so having one day shipping on cheap crud for a month is probably going to be somewhat helpful as long as I didn't pay for it to begin with.
This sounds to me like doing a full workup on blood chemistry. Individuals vary so much that you can get false positives.

Wouldn't it be more useful as a baseline? Scan once and store it, then scan every few years and compare. If any of the "anomalies" has grown or new ones have appeared between scans, then they might be worth a second look?
