Well due to the rise of EHR and other tech complexities, many doctors are just joining mega-groups/networks that handle their IT just so they don't have to deal things such as integration.
The era of independent doctors is basically coming to a very fast end.

Where I live, there are two competing networks of doctors now that have basically absorbed thousands of doctors in the last 4 years with their signs literally plastered everywhere now.

Yay because arguably it's the only way doctor offices are going to keep up with ever changing tech.
Nay because Americans are going to get fucked in the ass even more by uncontrollable healthcare when the doctors networks become cartels.
To white Americans?

Its interesting, the west has always expected China to shift and become more open and less authoritarian. However I think the west is instead moving in that regards.

They can learn a thing or two from China.
Mostly agree with you, but on your last point, you wouldn't consider that ex-intelligence people might not be related to their respective agencies anymore, and that they abandonded them because they stopped believing in their cause or for another legitimate reason? Choosing to distrust them for life because of their past experience would be to ignore their talent and skill, which are very valuable in the private sector.
Most truffle fries are made with truffle oil, which often isn't actually made from truffles.

"Truffle oil is controversial as a flavoring ingredient, as nearly all truffle oil is produced from one synthetic flavor compound, and may lack the complex flavors and aromas of fresh truffles."

Woodworking is still a hobby for me (I don't think i'd want it to be anything but a hobby) but I've recently started building my own CAD program for woodworkers (I use sketchup, but when I switched to Linux, it only works on the web... which is a pretty awful experience compared to their main product).

I just don’t get the hate on large languages. It’s not like someone is going to look down on you just because you’re not using the whole feature set.

Encountering functionality you’re not familiarized with is pretty much the norm in all projects and I’d rather encounter something that is part of the core language (bonus point if it’s a standard) than a self rolled abstraction or some other library.

It is no coincidence that I always end up working with ugly and so called kitchen sink languages and prefer Perl over Python, C++ over C, Common Lisp over Scheme, Rust over Go and OCaml over SML.

I like the idea of designing and using languages with a small set of orthogonal abstractions but looking back at the whole Scheme fragmentation and my experience with past and current projects written in Forth, C and Go that started fine but turned pretty fast into maintainability hell I think it’s utopian and futile.

I’m not ashamed to say that I like ugly and messy and that I encourage those in doubt to dive in and enjoy the kludge that Common Lisp is.
> Just because there's a political party committed to believing "the sky is red" doesn't make it political to say "the sky is blue".

Just to clarify this. Why is the former political and the latter not? Because one is false, and one is true?

I would argue that something is scientific or political no matter if its true or false. What counts is the way you try to convince others that it is true. Just as an example:

> The point of that comment was not to score points in any political debate but to suggest an intuitive way to think about the results of the paper. Some commenters make the error of extrapolating straight lines, essentially saying "We observe reverse-correlation between education and birthrates over several decades, therefore they must be reverse-correlated forever". I pointed out an example, in a similar context[1], where such linear thinking would be wrong

Here, you do not really explain why the intuitive thinking used by other authors (extrapolation) is less valid than the intuitive thinking you suggest: you do not explain why the comparison between humans and bacteria in the area of reproduction is valid, given the huge differences between humans and bacteria.

So when you say that "I admit I can see how it could be taken that way in e.g. an abortion debate, but only by reading words between the lines that simply are not there", that is kind of true: it is about the words that are not there - the words you have to provide to explain why your theory might not be wrong.
So the main sell point is to reduce traffic and let the backend sort out the n+1 and caching problems. I can see a bunch of problems with that, like required fields etc, which also must be fulfilled by the client and would be very fragmented as an error reply.
Although in a microservice environment where a single or a few resources belongs to a single microservice, the client still needs to make several individual requests.
Ask yourself why on the one hand you are "trying to do" those things, and yet at the same time you find excuses to procrastinate. Are these things you truly want to do, or things you believe you "should" be doing? In other words, are these passions or duties?

If they are self-imposed duties, ask yourself how important are they, truly. What would happen if you didn't do each of them? How bad would it be? If it's really bad, that's your motivation for doing them, and next time you want to procrastinate you can remind yourself of that reason.

Thank you for responding. Many of these threads end up being shouts in the dark.

I truly felt like the "you're not a minority" part of my comment was incidental. My larger point was that in asking people to accept an opinion that is outside the mainstream, or to consider how different your upbringing was, you're asking people to respect a diversity of opinions.

I tried to point out the a big part of the diversity movement is recognizing these diversities, which often come with different genders or different ethnicity.

Maybe I did a poor job of communicating this.

The description here seems about right, assuming you're talking about European truffles:

I've subscribed my mother to their FFTC service, upgrading her from ADSL. She lives in the middle of nowhere, and BT have historically cocked up an awful lot with the wiring. Their team know a hell of a lot more about networking than I do, _and_ know who in BT to get on to in order to make sure that the wires get reconnected the right way around (which they weren't!).

I really can't recommend them enough. Sure, it's expensive, but a) I like the feeling that I'm contributing to things I agree with, and b) the people who work there deserve to earn a decent wage. Insofar as broadband has a "first class" product, they offer it.
And they are generally regarded as evil, complete with evil fantasy name.
Maybe consider:

the_data <- read.csv('/path/to/data/file1.csv') %>%
rbind(read.csv('/path/to/data/file2.csv')) %>%
filter(variable_a > x) %>%
mutate(variable_c = variable_a/variable_b)

You've thrown out a few variations on a theme here, but I'm not sure where you are trying to angle towards. There are a lot of ways to format code, and I can't tell you what works best for you.

But this isn't shaking the paradigm of having an initial block of data (here separated a little awkwardly into two files) that is being subjected to a series of functional transformations, which is sorta pipe-like. Being able to talk about this as a 'pipe' is hugely useful, and having a pipe operator really standardises how people can talk about it. In my experience, selling this as a concept to a beginner is a lot easier when it has syntax support so they know they are doing the 'right thing' and get error messages/uncomfortable looking code when they try to cheat. I don't really care how you nest the brackets, if you want to write something that isn't a pipe go with (edit obviously a non-buggy version of...):

for i in 1:nrow(df){
if(df[i,'variable a'] > df[i,'x']) continue;
df[i,'variable ac'] = df[i,'variable_a']/df[i,'variable_b']
}

If someone shows me that and I can tell them to 'go rewrite it using pipe operators, it will be better' they will naturally start seeing that that horrible block of mixed ideas can be separated out into a few basic composable operations, and that is funnily enough easier for a beginner to grasp in my experience teaching people to use R. Plus, they can tell that a statement is going to be a series of composes on top of raw data if they see a pipe operator. This is a useful thing that makes it easier to read the code.
oh it's neat to see this, as I recall i first discovered pike way back as a teenager via DreamSNES, an snes emulator that you can burn to a cd with roms and play on a dreamcast, for lack of a better description. anyway, the wizard for getting it set up, including doing all the writing to the cd, was written in pike if memory serves correctly.
I think there are two problems. Tiredness and boredom. TV's sweet spot is when you are mildly bored and pretty tired. It tires you even more but alleviates boredom a bit.

I had after-school routine. When I was comming back from school I was bored and tired but too bored and not tired enough to go to sleep immediately. So I watched TV for an hour or two becomming slightly less bored and completely tired. After that I slept for few hours and after that wake up and be semi-funtional human again, able to do homework or enjoy myself for a bit.

The problem was I got addicted to TV and I watched it even if I wasn't that tired and theoretically had energy to entertain myself with something that had better joy/effort ratio than TV. Instead I always defaulted to TV which costed me too much energy for enjoyment provided.

Eventually I had to ask my mom to put a parental lock on TV and even then after school I was lying in front of turned on TV that showed no channel (due to parental lock) pushing buttons at random trying to unlock it. I even managed to unlock it once (3 digit code) but couldn't repeat it.

Eventually my dumb brain learned that lying in front of a TV no longer gives me any joy (because I can't turn the channels on) and I shook the addiction.

> Just checked out vpnscam.com for the first time, and its content scream in tinfoil hats giving me negative first impression.

I think that's because this site is most likely run by some other competing VPN company. They are all trying to win by collecting and publishing everything about each other.

> It's really a dilemma to me: small providers haven't proven themselves to be trustworthy, while well established ones are connected to another business somewhat. How does one choose a reliable VPN provider?

I am personally more inclined to trust VPN providers that don't pay affiliate commissions, don't hide behind offshore companies, don't ask for their costumers' email addresses, state the full names of the people behind the company publicly, and adopt the most advanced open-source solutions early[1].

You can choose not to have a child (though caveats around carelessness apply). You kind of cannot opt out of parenting once you have a child. Not if you wish to remain a decent human being. It's kind of forced on you, even more so than a job, because it's much easier to change jobs or just go on a welfare than to stop doing all the parenting each day as a parent throws at you.
This is getting downvoted but it’s an important sentiment. You can argue that America and China are equally bad (I disagree), but regardless, you can’t really argue that America and China are equally bad to Americans.

As another Utrechter I'm really impressed with the large bicycle garages on either side of the new railway station. It really makes cycling from and to the station a great experience.
There are quite a few grand new railway stations that have been built in the NL: Rotterdam central station, Utrecht central station, Arnhem station. Recently I was moved when I realised that they're the cathedrals of our time. Shared architectural spaces that are big communal efforts and will be of great value for all for decades to come.
Yes, if that's more important to you than dedup savings, then you should definitely do that.

> Let's ignore the fact that I really like Lisps, aside that, are there any compelling reasons for an average Joe programmer like me to start learning Common Lisp in 2019?

One of the things that stands out for SBCL is its optimizing native code compiler.

Air: try to wring the blocks in a vacuum or at high altitude to see if it is weaker/stronger than at sea level. Water/oil: clean the surfaces and do the experiment in a really dry environment.

Does wringing work with glass blocks? If so, could we then examine the interface with some type of instrument? Could we X-ray the ceramic blocks interface?

I don't see any. The 'anti-' prefix is about human rights, possible issues of IP theft and various immoral activities etc. It's the behaviour, emphatically not the country.

Good. It would be a genuine loss to all humanity's heritage if it did.
Besides, on a bicycle it's easier to stop and park your bike if you see an interesting shop. When driving there is much more friction as you need to find a parking spot and park there first.

It really depends on the situation. Kinetic energy is only part of the picture, sure, higher speed is worse. But most crashes aren't direct impacts into immovable objects.

One of the most common injuries for cyclists is the ubiquitous broken collar bone. This often happens to folks when they're coming to a stop, or even when they're motionless, and they lose balance and tip over. The unavoidable reaction is to put one's arm out to mitigate the fall. If the arm doesn't bend at the elbow, energy gets transmitted straight to the collarbone and may cause a fracture.

Another common injury is concussion. These are, of course, worse at higher speeds because they usually occur when the cyclist goes over the handlebars. This can happen so fast that there is no time to protect the face-- hence the term "face plant". But a head injury can also happen when tipping over at zero speed.

Not totally disagreeing about the speed aspect, just the usage of the kinetic energy factor to imply how much worse the accident "could be". Velodrome cyclists regularly wipe out at 40+ mph. Serious injuries and death can occur, but that is highly dependent on the specifics of the crash. The overwhelming majority of the time, higher speed means nastier road-rash.
these points are all out of a reasonable time frame or far exaggerated against American government vs the Chinese government

The idea actually is a valid concept in justice, but only within the realms you posted: If person A does something illegal and then tries to justify the behaviour X with "But everyone does this!", then this is not a valid argument, because either X is illegal or not.

Whataboutism as invented by the economist, though, is just rhetoric nonsense. The USSR was perfectly right in highlighting the human rights atrocities of the US in response to accusations of the US against them. That doesn't make the accusations go away, but it correctly exposes the bigotry.
