For example, to suppose that particle filtering is an extension of Bayesian probability is a category error. If this just stemmed from communication difficulties, it still matters from a reader perspective.
Mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I've used to work for a company that made software that processed models for 3D printing, and optimizing internal memory structures was an important part of it, as big modes routinely hogged all the memory on our own workstations.

On the other hand, one of the biggest competitors outright states thet their software needs 16gb+ of RAM* I guess Electron wouldn't make much of a difference.

I think that is something that tends to be underestimated. The reason Electron is popular is because of the success rate in creating things. While projects that are trying to be better takes far longer or fails outright, making them less common. So it isn't necessarily that people are choosing so much as surviving.

I'm not sure what you mean by DS, but I would strongly disagree that work in one stack is irrelevant to work in another.

Two years ago, I took a role in a tech stack I've never used before, and in less than a month I was productive in Node and Rails. I work with half a dozen developers that switched from one stack to another, and regularly do so to use the best tool for the job, and it's not as hard as some companies make it out to be.

The web may be biased. But a search engine that reflects that bias is just doing its job correctly.

One inevitable and useful bias a search engine has is the bias against spam. It's aligned with the interests of the user.

There can be (and are) biases that are against the users' interests but are aligned with operator's: promotion of some content, censorship of other content. This bias I would rather see gone.

From what I see this book is much more complete than a first year course, or even the whole curriculum of a classical CS education.

I'm quite familiar with math, but I never encountered wavelet theory, Gauss-Seidel method, Rayleigh-Ritz theorem, and many more. My knowledge about other subjects such as Hermitian spaces, quaternions, finite elements is quite superficial.

And I've only listed elements of Part I.

check out Australia's healthcare system as a middle ground then. I've lived in the UK (free, single-payer, government-run) and Australia's, and I prefer Australia's because it has a mix of both government and market.

The basic principle is that the Australian Federal Government subsidises healthcare by a fixed amount for each procedure. So iirc, it was AUD$45 for a visit to the GP. That's enough for some GP practices to be able to offer a free service (referred to as "bulk billed" because they only billed the government). Obviously those services become popular, so to get a free appointment you have to wait a while. Or, you can pay a bit yourself to get an appointment with a doctor who charges more than the government rate and are therefore less in demand.

In Australia I could usually get an appointment next day if I paid $25-50 or so. In the UK it was usually a 1-2 week wait, but free.

This goes for everything (except dental care for some reason, I don't know what's up with that). So an X-Ray costs $200, or nothing if you can wait until next week. And so on.

Health insurance covers the additional costs, and I paid $25/month for a plan that meant if anything serious happened I'd be liable for the first $250. And it also gave me dental cover, so I could claim some (but not all) of my dental care from my health insurance - a net gain for me most years.

That investment is actually a loan backed by the British government to the tune of £500m - https://www.am-online.com/news/manufacturer/2019/07/16/jlr-s... - in other words, it's less an investment by a company that believes in investing in the UK but rather the government buying some good news.

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/nzdnak/why-ketamine-is-th...

So the half S, half R compound (I assume "esketamine" is S ketamine and "arketamine" R ketamine) is a commonly used drug in every emergency unit, probably in much higher doses than the ones used for depression.

Using the S half only seems a way to get it patented.

The concern seems to be that a nasal spray could lead to addiction beacuse fast assimilation. People that have used it illegally tell me that tolerance builds up very quickly, but they're talking about high (K-hole) doses. They don't use it often, just once in a month and mostly the racemate.

They say esketamine only is weird and a little scary. The R half is what gives the happines feeling and mild hallucinogen effect, while the S half is the cause for depersonalization.

A curious detail: the gq article says it's administered IV, while in vice article it's said that IV is dangerous because laryngospasm.

I may not understand what's being got at with this 'Canadian wait time' issue.

I've needed to go see my doctor - usually I can't get a same day appointment. Sometimes I can get a 'next day' - usually it's "pick some time in the next week or two". Am I now "having to wait"? It's been this way for me my entire life in the US (more than 40 years I can remember), across different states, political leadership and insurance companies.

I needed a procedure by a specialist last year. Regular checkup produced "this is serious - I'm referring to you ABC for procedure X - we need to get this done ASAP". It was still more than 2 weeks before the specialist could see me. There was an option of seeing someone else sooner, but it would have meant a 2 hour drive. That was possible but very inconvenient, and we decided that the 2 week period was acceptable vs the alternative.

Does everyone else in the US get same day service for everything they need, and I've just been wholly unlucky my entire life in multiple regions of the country? Or, do we actually have 'wait times' just like everyone else?

this was also the case for VW/Audi vehicles which were not equipped with AdBlue. I had a 2013 TDI that simply would do a special burn off on occasion to remove build up.

I cannot even find out if that car would have been repairable. Would the fix to the US 2.0L TDI engines in VW at that time even been worthwhile to tweak? I remember reading that they even claimed at one time they could just fix it with a software update
By the way - this is rather circular and it begs questions.

I'd argue that "CRUD" apps are all there is in development. Everything complicated broken down comes to creating, retrieving, modifying and/or saving data.

After understanding the more exciting challenges, they become easy, mundane "crud" aswell. Gaining knowledge and insight is easy and fun; the value comes from effective application of that knowledge, which is tough.

It requires real endurance to bring something from start to finish in the real world, not all of it is fun. It is unavoidable.

Medicare has for a long time been banned from negotiating drug prices in most instances, and that is a large part of the problem. They have a limited indirect ability by basically being able to contract with private healthcare plans to provide services, who in turn can negotiate, but it does in no way allow them to leverage their size to the full extent.

Compare to e.g. the UK where the NHS does not just negotiate on generics, but also use the considerable value of their contracts for generics or drugs that can easily be substituted to drive down prices on other drugs by bargaining on combined contract values.

But, again, we’re not talking about how amazing the system is if you have money. We’re talking about how the system utterly fails to disseminate basic healthcare to the vast majority of people in a way that doesn’t destroy them.
No need for imaginary beings to enter the picture. One just has to put value in experience and originality. When every scar and wrinkle is a sign that you have lived a bit more than others, that you have become wiser, that you have more interesting stories to tell, then it becomes easier to be proud of being older and be attracted to older people. When you value uniqueness over conformity, then it becomes easier to be proud to be (and be attracted to) less conventionally-shaped people.

A Programming and Problem-Solving Seminar led by Chris Van Wyk and Donald Knuth in 1979 was, among others, dedicated to programs playing the KRK endgame in Kriegspiel [1].

In my previous life as a teaching assistant, I co-led a seminar that borrowed this problem from Knuth. At the end, our students' White and Black bots played a tournament. The feedback was: "since Black loses this endgame sooner or later, those who developed bots playing White had more fun". Next year, we came up with a symmetric game.

Here in New Zealand you don't get asked any questions about finances or being able to afford it but if it's elective and not urgent you'll be prioritised behind those who need the healthcare urgently. No bureaucrats involved (unless it's very specialised care like experimental medication or the need to send someone overseas) just the doctors and specialists.

Public healthcare isn't the same in every country.
Could be added to the app, it's just a matter of standardizing it. You probably wouldn't want to run a standalone userspace UDP tunnel process anyway.

How would you succinctly sum up what many people were thinking?

It depends who you ask, I guess.

There's a definite shortage outside of London, although few companies seem to want to up their salaries to attract experienced talent. One of the reasons I switched stack was because I would get recruiters emailing every day with new roles, but rarely anything that paid over £45k in Bristol.

In your experience, as a Londoner, is there a demand for experienced devs? I would've thought that big companies would always be looking for developers.

There is one big enemy on the horizon: China, which gets ever more and more aggressive. That trade war may very well escalate in a real war, with the Chinese holding an absurd amount of leverage since the US doesn't have much manufacturing at home any more.

In addition, there is Africa - which is the only market that hasn't been saturated already and only needs a bit of kickstarting. China has seen this and massively invested, and they will sell to Africa and grow on that, not the US.

Thanks to Electron I was able to build an app for Win, Mac, & Linux. Had there not been electron, my app would be only for Windows and no one else.

I strongly suspect I'd never be able to bring the level of polish I could with HTML & CSS to the UI through the standard SDKs -- so the resulting app would be a much worse user experience as well.

The amount of time I'd have to spend learning a new SDK would basically put me off, and I'd likely never have created this app.

I'd argue that there is a certain amount of complexity that cannot be avoided, and is likely already addressed in the current platform. You can try and shift the problem to different parts of the application, but that is at best a distraction.

There are certain tasks that you simply have to do yourself (understand the problem), and apply the solution accordingly as fast as you can.
if you put var in-front you don't have to worry about reassigning a variable from parent scope. You also make assignment and comparison semantically different, example var foo=1; vs foo=1 if(foo=1) and it's thus easier to spot bugs and understand the code.

Having played a number of those, IMO they are nothing like Kriegspiel, which is in another category. I grew up playing chess and at our club and we also played many variants. Kriegspiel was a whole other monster that we would play in teams, one group sitting in on room, and the other next door so you had to whisper and show experiment moves quietly in the group. The arbiter would register on a central board and announce. The experience is difficult to recreate on the web, and I know Lichess hasn’t added Kriegspiel to their variants list even after several requests to do so.

This used to be a problem in Norway too. People going without services they were entitled to because it was seen as humiliating to ask was a real thing. The only way of getting rid of that is to actually offer the services and point out that it is a choice: You don't have to go through it, but then you don't get the money.

I generally think that a lot of the more invasive checks are not justified, but if the price to pay to get agreement for more expansive welfare services is an invasive means testing process, then it's certainly better than not having the services.
