I do, however, agree with you that much of modern medicine is focused on treatment as opposed to prevention. Type 2 diabetes is probably the best example, which is largely preventable with a good diet and exercise. Unfortunately, it's much easier for patients to take a pill after they start feeling symptoms than it is to adhere to a healthy lifestyle when they are asymptomatic..
Its weird to think how John Carmack went from .plan files to Facebook Posts. I think it might be safe to say he had the most widely read .plan file in existence. Wish he would go back to it.
In my experience complex end-to-end tests cast a wide net that often results in finding a lot of issues and they provide enormous value. Their main negative is maintenance around robustness as the article discusses and hardening tests can take a lot of investment. That said, the alternative is worse (not having them) so I find your approach, and the author’s is what I’ve often done. I think there needs to be understanding (across the team and management) that automated tests are software and it will require a similar dev effort to maintaining any other software, especially so because there usually aren’t tests to test the tests!

I’m founder at Tesults (https://www.tesults.com) where we have a flaky test indicator that makes identifying these tests easier. It’s free to try and if you can’t get budget for a proper plan send me an email and I’ll do what I can.

In general the only way to never have flaky tests is to have simpler tests but I find those often don’t provide as much value - that’s just my personal belief after having spent years focused on automated tests, e2e tests do have robustness issues but the bugs they find make them totally worth it. Out of the issues mentioned in the article that affected my tests the most, it’s timing. They can be overcome though, I’ve run test suites with a couple of thousand e2e tests (browser) that have been highly robust and reliable after time was devoted to hardening them. You do have to focus on that and refuse to add new test cases until the existing ones are sorted out in some cases.
As far as I can see, the RFC doesn’t mention precedence at all, but I think it’s safe to assume that it’s meant to be the same as method calls. So `2 + 2.bar!()` would expand into something like

2 + {
let _self = 2;
bar!(_self)
}
I like the use of “junk” DNA only because it reminds people how much we don’t know. It wasn’t that long ago the term was used because that’s DNA was assumed to be useless.

He didn't imply you should lie about your income.

Most early businesses don't make much profit if any. Mine did not and so we kept our income right in the sweet spot to get max subsidies.

We paid ourselves that small salary and plowed every bit of the remainder into growing the business. In other words, there was no profit at the end of the year.

We had absolutely excellent coverage for around $100 a month total for a family of two. In one year we had $70,000 in expenses from a broken ankle that needed major surgery. And the next year a complicated pregnancy that cost $40k. We paid our max out of pocket those two years of $1500 each year.

I honestly don't think its hyperbole. What we had with go get, would install different versions of dependencies each time you checked out your repository and built it. That isn't managed. Managed is what they recommended you to do, which is vendor all the dependencies, but that isn't something provided by the go tooling.

Actually, “junk DNA” was assumed to have no function decades ago. That’s why it got the name. That’s what I was taught in college 15 years ago.

I asked for people to contrafute my perception, not just a downvote.

I posted my perception as a nonuser, non member of the golang community, but with my perception of my perceived hostility against non googler memebers of the community...and I get met with no comments and downvotes, which reinforces my perception (deservedly or not) of hostility towards non-googler involvement in golang development. So, yeah, thanks. Golang is something I will now not likely something I will ever pursue.

Funnily enough, I actually ended up giving myself a crash course in this very topic when encoding frag movies for Quake 3/Quake Live. It was/is common practice to use 'brightskins' on your enemy models in competitive play to make them easier to see, typically being a colour like '#00FF00'.
I noticed that when uploading to online media hosting sites like Youtube these bright colours would become noticeably washed out and degraded. My investigation of why this happened led me all the way down this rabbit hole. This was the better half of ten years ago now so I have no idea if it still occurs, but I ended up just rendering the videos using a better brightskin colour that appeared less degraded after conversion... Going through the cycle of 'rerender/reupload/check' to find a replacement colour again and again to experiment sure was a major pain!

What I found really interesting is all this shit treatment has not effected tourism to the United States. I would think there would be huge backlash to all of this, but nope US continues to be a popular spot for foreigners to visit. They don't care about the dehumanization. If there was a huge backlash they might stop to not hurt all the tourism dollars, but no they just keep on keeping on.
He does not need to rebut anyway go is language created by googlers for a need they had and they open sourced it. If it does not meets anyones development requirements they can use another language or fork it and do the changes themselves. There are so many community driven open source projects one of the most used is Kodi and if you have spent any time on it's repo you can see that the maintainers set a hardline on what their vision is and what code they are willing to accept. Funnily enough an argument is going on at the moment where Kodi maintainers want to remove all hardware specific hacks in future versions and some dev opposed to it. What do you think will happen?
It seems like a larger and larger percentage of our economy is being taken up by parasitic sectors that have a net negative value for society. Advertising, soda, highly processed food, credit cards, car dealerships, (most) sales people, etc. We'd probably be better of as a society paying these people to do nothing than to do what they do now; we'd be even better off if we paid them to do something actually productive.

There's a lot of talk about what impact mass automation will have on our society, and what kind of work people will have once they're replaced by machines. This is always framed in such a way as if it's a problem we're about to face, but it looks like it's actually a trend that's been going on for decades (at least). And the answer is that, unless there is an effort to direct these people towards productive ends, many will continue to flow to these parasitic sectors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug

> Borlaug was often called "the father of the Green Revolution", and is credited with saving over a billion people worldwide from starvation. According to Jan Douglas, executive assistant to the president of the World Food Prize Foundation, the source of this number is Gregg Easterbrook's 1997 article "Forgotten Benefactor of Humanity." The article states that the "form of agriculture that Borlaug preaches may have prevented a billion deaths." He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 in recognition of his contributions to world peace through increasing food supply.

> This is usually visible as ugly banding or blocking in dark scenes.

I was just complaining about this a couple weeks ago with some friends after the “Dark” episode of GoT. I was saying the codecs don’t seem to have caught up or they are just being fed at too low a bit rate to really excel at dark scenes.

It’s hard to imagine this is just a scaling issue with the color ranges, and if so, how could it possibly not have been fixed?!

I have a high end OLED screen in a very dark room, and I was very disappointed by the picture quality. Enough to wish I hadn’t watched it through HBO Go and that I had a better source.

There is a balance to strike. Bringing up kids too far outside the norms that society sets can have all kinds of ramifications. Rather than shelter them, I'd prefer them to have things in common with their friends and teach them to make good choices for themselves given their own dispositions and circumstance.
So, two quick points in response:

1. Yeah, I probably overstated the case. It's not as if it's impossible to move a gene somewhere else on a chromosome and have it function completely normally. As you point out, we do this all the time. That said...

2. Genetics is hard, and I'm of the school of thought that one reason it is so hard is because systems are more fragile in meaningful ways than we assume. That is to say, if you attempt a gene translocation 100 times and get 3 successes, most geneticists would be happy with that result and not question the 97 failures. And, indeed, it is entirely possible that the quality of the reagents, the stringency of the protocols, or any of an infinite number of other variables that have little or nothing to do with genetics could be the cause of those 97 failures...or, it could be that 97 times the translocation worked but the product wasn't viable. I know from experience that it is very hard to distinguish between these possibilities, and furthermore that in the publish-or-perish world of academia today there's not any motivation for navel gazing into the reason most genetic protocols are not more efficient. That said, I've seen hints in my past work that make me think location, gene dose, DNA secondary and tertiary structure, etc. are more consequential than the common wisdom would have you believe.

(Oh, and for anyone still reading, I'll share the brain teaser that was my light-bulb moment for the extent of gene dose effect in prokarya: it takes 40 min to replicate the E. coli genome, but during exponential growth E. coli can double in number every 20 min. How?)

This is what my thesis is about (I titled it "Rehabilitating Junk DNA"). It isn't that complicated. Your resonance comment is gibberish, sorry. The DNA is a giant tape in base 4 (ATGC). There are programs written at random places on the tape that in a 64 bit encoding (i.e. triplets of quaternary bits). This is "coding sequence", about 1% of the genome (itself 3 gigabases, so 30 Mbases of coding sequence). A tape head (polymerase) comes and reads these out into RNA. The RNA is like a flash copy that is sent to a compiler (ribosome) that translates it into a working protein molecule (a sequence of 20 amino acids with the mapping encoded in base 64, see "genetic code"). There are control sequences proximal (~within 30k bases) to each program that tell the tape head when and how much to read each program into flash (i.e., transcribe RNA). These control sequences are in the 99% non-coding part of the genome. In my thesis i estimated about another 1% is actual control sequence. The rest may be random noise, we'll see.

Something recent enough that the upstream guys can merge it or at least discuss it?
A simpler and perhaps more useful way of thinking of non coding DNA is to use analogy of a recipe. Coding DNA tells you the ingredients used, noncoding tells you when and how to use those ingredients. Both are essential to proper gene regulation, but one is much harder to study.

Well we had this article, severely flagged it seems, about a guy who raised 12 children.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20027423

His "wife has several degrees in math, accounting, business, statistics" according to another article he wrote:

https://qz.com/248623/how-to-talk-to-your-adult-children-so-...

His kids all went off to college, married likewise, and are now popping out grandkids at an astonishing rate. His youngest kids are still in college, and already his 12 kids have given him 18 grandkids. That is 1.5 each, after an average of about 7 years post-college life. If that keeps up, it'll be about 4.5 each in that generation, which is a regression to the mean but still quite large for modern America.

So yes, culture (or DNA) matters more than education.
Because is it really that terrible? Yeah airport security is a bit annoying and maybe you get sternly told to do something. So what?

The comments here make it sound like the TSA is committing war crimes or something.

I think it's dumb, I think it's a waste of time, I think it's ineffective.

I also think that most of the time, most people spend 5-40 minutes in line, get through it, and promptly forget about it. Expecting it to affect tourism to the US seems totally absurd to me.
> which improved or over diagnosis cannot account for

It is often cited as exactly the reason, and appears to be the scientific consensus. In fact you can see large swings in diagnosis numbers based on socioeconomic factors[0], which definitely hints at diagnostic bias.

> The reported increase is largely attributable to changes in diagnostic practices, referral patterns, availability of services, age at diagnosis, and public awareness.[1][2][3] A widely cited 2002 pilot study concluded that the observed increase in autism in California cannot be explained by changes in diagnostic criteria, but a 2006 analysis found that special education data poorly measured prevalence because so many cases were undiagnosed, and that the 1994–2003 U.S. increase was associated with declines in other diagnostic categories, indicating that diagnostic substitution had occurred.

While I don't have sources, I think it wasn't as simple as that. I've read that Alfred did have some chances to go outside, but he simply didn't take them.

All I'm saying is: from what I remember what I've read, it didn't seem to be the case that he was locked up. He kind of willingly let it happen. Whether that is actually true is another story as I can't remember the source where I read it from.

In any case, I do think there's more to this story than this submission is showing (after skimming through it).

What you’re pointing out is just one expression of the larger phenomenon of America’s third-world-ification.

We absolutely should have new airports. And trains. And not only should we have new airports and trains, we should have underground and undersea trains. Transatlantic undersea trains. Transpacific undersea trains.

And we should have gleaming cityscapes of marble and gold, and great wide shaded streets free of cars and trucks and vehicles larger than mopeds or maybe sportbikes.

And parks and water sculptures and street-corner quartets, flying cars and space elevators and O’Neill colonies, underground hydroponics farms and enormous vaulted subterranean spaces with artificial skies indistinguishable from a summer’s day.

And you know why we don’t?

Not for lack of industry or energy or technology or imagination.

I am certainly being sloppy, though I think fundamentally misunderstanding it is a bit of an exaggeration. I know you can't await in a non-async function so, at the very least, you'd need (IDR the syntax for async closures?)

vec![fut1, fut2, fut3].map_async(async|fut| fut.await).collect()

I believe that could be built. Though, now I'm getting myself tripped up. Because I claimed that this is similar to

vec![fut1, fut2, fut3].map(Future::await).collect()

But I notice that I expect `await` to be a blocking, non-async function. Which, feels strange in that the lambda in the first block needs to be async but the function itself doesn't.

> Await must have compiler support and cannot just be some function you call.

I'm not saying it doesn't need compiler support. I explicitly state that it does - I just want the magic to be a little more explicit. Moreover, I believe that most programmers think of functions as 'encapsulated code', something that does a thing. In this sense, it matches what await does better than syntax that looks like it's accessing a field. Admittedly, in the purest sense of encapsulation, this method 'escapes' that encapsulation, but I don't consider that terribly important.

Trains make sense in dense areas, like Northeast, Northwest and parts of California. And some trains there are.
