/r/politics has become a race-to-the-bottom of polarization, but it's nowhere near as bad as T_D; a civil defense of Trump on the former will be tolerated (even if downvoted/flamed), whereas any anti-Trump sentiment on the latter results in an instant ban.

One could perhaps attribute to the difference to a supposedly neutral framing vs. an explicitly partisan one; but much of the opposition to Trump (including from conservatives) has to do with flaunting democratic norms and other such "meta-politics", rather than policy positions, which I think is certainly fair game for the /r/politics hivemind to have an explicit opinion on.

The new approaches to HTML/CSS run directly counter to the specs sometimes.

Take Bulma for example. They provide styles for titles and subtitles, but their examples use h1 elements.

See: https://bulma.io/documentation/elements/title/

Why is that a problem?

This is explicitly addressed in the HTML 5.2 specification.

> h1–h6 elements must not be used to markup subheadings, subtitles, alternative titles and taglines unless intended to be the heading for a new section or subsection.

See: https://www.w3.org/TR/html52/sections.html#headings-and-sect...

Prison, by definition, is opt-in. You do the crime and show disregard for society, you opt-in.
So if the prisoners aren't paid but the prison is, that creates motive to (have more prisoners|create more non-voluntary workers) with an illusion of volunteering because otherwise those non-voluntary workers would be involuntarily staring at a wall all day.
It looks like a big improvement but it's definitely not monadic. It's a hidden return.

It shows up as [dead] on my end, as does this thread. You might want to contact the moderators and convince them you're not a spammer. Your most recent links all seem to be promoting your own content, so maybe that's what they took issue with.
So wait, they're introducing magic "function" that has a variable number of generic return arguments? Huh. In Rust the try! macro makes sense because A. there's a precedence of macros and B. there's a precedence of generics. But in a language with neither macros nor generics, this just seems odd. Kinda like making the Justice League movie without any of the requisite standalone movies.
So long as you don't want an OS native UI, yes I think so.

For example I use Visual Studio Code every day and the UI seems pretty good to me (panels, menus, tabs, check boxes, combos etc). I am presuming it uses a component framework (although I admit I haven't looked at the source).

See, the OP said:

> We overtrain docs and we’ve built hospitals that focus on private rooms instead of wards. Both of those hugely increase the labor cost and will take a long time to undo.

If I was a patient at a hospital, I would not be able to control this:

> We overtrain docs

That part is outside my control.

... but, I, as a patient at a hospital, would be able to control this:

> we’ve built hospitals that focus on private rooms instead of wards

Infact, some of hopitals in the U.S. do have ward deliveries - I believe Kaiser Permanente have shared rooms?

However, that is the rub - people are not explicitly requesting private rooms - hospitals just have them so they can charge as much as they can.

If you walk into a hospital, you cant ask to have a ward delivery. They take you to a private room by default - no questions asked. That's all they have.

Then the bill comes and the game begins - if the insurance company does not pay, the hospital will then come after you. They will put you on a payment plan.

If you can't make payments, they will sell you to collections. Some hospitals might settle for an upfront cash payment but then it cannot go through your insurance and you are out of money AND you did not meet your family deductible either.

If there was a choice to new parents between ward deliveries for $50k and private rooms for $150k, I know which one I would take.

I don't have that choice because my employer might not be offering care though Kaiser Permanente and the hospitals in network might only have private rooms.

So change employers because I prefer ward deliveries?
The subreddit was in violation of Reddit's rules. I can only guess that they finally did something because the mods were too slow to respond this time.
Regular employment on-site requires foreigners have a work permit/work visa, not something companies want to hassle with for a short-term employee.

You can freelance without a work permit but you generally can’t work on site for a company as a freelancer without proper documents that allow you to work in the country. Remote freelancing gets around most of that problem.

This is true, but the biggest problem today is people who have gone to the other extreme and have been told to not trust anything that appears to be "trustworthy articles vetted by sources, studies or science". Like, because something cites scientific research, or tries to appear to be credible and informative rather than just straight up telling people how to feel, they disbelieve it because it doesn't feel right to them for some reason. Plenty of examples: anti-vaxxers, Alex Jones listeners, etc.

I'm much, much more worried about people these days who say they don't "believe" in science than I am about subtle biases couched in seemingly credible articles, because more often than not people playing the "subtle bias"/"don't trust the mainstream media" card are actually trying to discount the value of science or peer review or expertise, far far more often than they're trying to highlight propaganda hidden in plain sight.
In my experience there is something strange about how exhausting a relatively small amount of programming is. Presumably because complex problem-solving wears the brain down in a way that more well-defined tasks don't.

When I get home I find myself dying to do something menial. It takes me more effort to program for two hours than it does to, like, 12 hours of physical labor. It's not as physically exhausting, but it wrecks my brain.

Cognitive biases you should exploit to design better products
Starting with why (or why I'm starting to blog)
I don't think, it's "2 rooms left at the hotel" or even "2 rooms in the hotel left (at this price)". I believe it can be "2 rooms left on [whatever booking site]" — perhaps because there is additional room inventory withheld from the web site. Or that additional rooms are currently "unpriced" in the database, and that price is generated at display time.

So after you book the room, another room can be added to the available inventory, and now there are "two rooms left at this price" again.

I did a bit of traveling last summer (mostly using Hotels.com ). There were times when I booked the "last room" and then checked again after booking and there was magically another "last room" available at the same price.
This would have been a lot faster if you had just made that argument in the first place.

I'm still waiting for a single counter example. We might rephrase my argument to the more honest: "We don't have concrete examples of this type of social structure without writing and some form of mathematics."

While you're here to quibble, could you perhaps look at the parent thread? This whole notion that markets and authoritarian social structures are the human default is at least as concerning as my statement, surely. There are many forms of this argument being displayed here; some quite subtly. If my statement is merely unverifiable, the idea that markets represent an asymptotically optimal modeling of society is positively counterfactual and you may have stake in correcting that.

Hugo Chavez's rise was definitely a response to US (and other powers) involvement in Latin America. The US did not "do it" (where it is directly causing gas theft). There is more to the history in South America and directly inside Venezuela and what the US was doing.

These issues are much more complicated than "the US never sent troops to Venezuela to fight against drug dealers..."

No, you don't. Why would you? You think too little of the average human. If you can communicate the chain of logic that led you to make the change. That should be sufficient.

This is not news. This is an opinion. Since when does expressing low opinion of the mainstream media counts as spreading fake news?

> The dynamics may be different with 750,000 subs (on T_D) compared to ~20,000 in the ones mentioned in the study.

They may be, they may not be. So far we have evidence that, in general, banning a sub doesn't result in it simply diasporaing into other subs. "Something different will happen this time because I feel like it will" isn't a terribly compelling counter-argument in and of itself. Absent new evidence, and given the evidence already in hand, this seems like a reasonable move to me.

IMHO type systems are pretty much impossible to change after the fact (see: Python's `str` type and the whole 2/3 migration fiasco), which is why I thought to bring it up since it's a major version change. I think a lack of support for efficient immutable types gets in the way of `golang` being a concurrency-first language, if the language endorses CSP with native support for goroutines and channels in the first place.

How you can write simple, reliable, and efficient user code (https://golang.org) if using your favored concurrency model results in race conditions?

I did not mean exactly that, but this happens too.

As a high income earner, I'm specially vulnerable to this practice.

Read reddit’s linked description of what a quarantined community is - it explains the answer to your question.

It’s not about people who want to go to fan sites (or don’t want to go) - it’s about misinformation / inappropriate content leaking out to folks who might inadvertently view it and not understand the rat hole they’re about to go down.

Putting the subreddit into the quarantine just means that there’s an extra disclosure and opt-in before viewing content from that subreddit (and content won’t be shown in popular, /r/all, etc.)

Your doctor knows all the medications you take as well as what conditions you suffer from, when you describe that you still suffer from side effects they will update you on the latest medications.

As far as "they do not track" , they are supposed to. That's a failing on the doctor's part but putting the patients in charge based on paid TV advertisements for what is actually an extremely narrow portion of available drugs is not the solution.
Glass is half full. Fortunately there are still places in America where the leaders get to lead.

This looks pretty much exactly like the old try!(expr) macro in Rust, which has since been replaced with the postfix `?` operator.

One crucial difference is that the proposal uses a named `err` return value that can be manipulated in defer. This is supposed to allow cleanup and wrapping of the error type.

Rust solves wrapping is by allowing auto-conversion between error types (if they implement it).

My first intuition is that it would be an improvement over omni-present `if err != nil {}`, but it feels somewhat awkward and tacked on. Especially the mutable `err` return value.

Of course there also was a reason why try! was replaced with `?`: awkward nesting and chaining. Go would have the same problem.

that’s stereotyping (in my own personal lingo): imperfect models that help us cope with certain aspects of life while being detrimental/ignorant of others. our whole brains have evolved to handle the chaotic (fractal) world we inhabit, but our conscious brains must reduce that to something rational (limited to following logical rules) so as to be actionable.
