Like qudat said, the level of rules and regulations required to enter the market are indeed pretty high, but I don't think they are insurmountable. And industry connections certainly do help in getting contracts, but people will generally listen if you have good ideas.

The people making the purchasing decisions are almost always pretty removed from day-to-day usage of clinical software (and the bigger the company, the more true this is).

But how will you present to them that your new product is "better" than that of the incumbent's? You can say, "our product can do X feature 10x better than another product", but if they reply with "unless your product has dark mode for a select number of physicians who live in WA and NY state, it's going to be a no-go. We already have another quote from someone else who will do this for us", what are you going to do? You may resist at first, but in order to win the business, you too will likely repeat this process ad-nauseum, until your "MVP" becomes just a "VP".

These decision-makers are also cautious about "new" technology (and rightly so, for the most part). Since if something does go wrong with patient data, it is considered catastrophic - and who will be to blame then?

I think that part-time is very attractive to a lot of potential employees and you are dipping into an under-utilized talent pool. As with any role, you just have to find the right people. I had a 50% time engineer for a while who was more productive than the full-timer whom he replaced. In another role I had a full-timer who was measurably less productive than someone at 60% time.

Scale the salaries pro-rata. At around 60-70% time this works out very well for employers as you have a very focused worker who appreciates the flexibility.

This. If I am not local, I can't know if 4.5* listing is a local diner that locals love, not necessarily for the quality of food, or a venerable Michelin-starred restaurant. Photos and descriptions do not always help.

The young people I work with are always shocked when I tell them there was no internet (or at least, nothing terribly useful at the consumer level) when I went to college.
Const won't necessarily make things faster but constant values will (whether or not explicitly inferred). I noticed, for example, a 2x+ speedup in one of my ray tracers by downgrading my dynamic 2d/3d/4d vector class* to always have a constant size of 3.

Well, is "organized opinion setting" something they should allow? What if it pretends to not be organized? What if it's organized by a government? What if the "opinions" are that the government organizing the opinions would be right to oppress those with differing opinions?

Is there anywhere in there that you think a line should be drawn?
"Not actual gameplay" might just mean it's all theoretically possible in game and rendered in-engine, but they staged everything.

Or the whole trailer might be rendered in Maya.
Correct. Air and gravity models in KSP are simple (though aerodynamics has been improved in the past years). Gravity simulation is essentially planet vs. active vessel, everything else is "on rails" and non-interacting. That means no Lagrange points, no sun-synchronous orbits, no need for station keeping.

However, mods come to the rescue. For flight, you have Ferram Aerospace Research, which gives you much more realistic (and much more punishing) aerodynamics, including all the interesting supersonic effects. For space, you have Principia, which introduces n-body physics, with all the Fun coming from it.

...plug in a box on a utility pole at the edge of the existing coverage and then supply the participating households with modems. I don't know what the cost of that kind of infrastructure is...

It's very expensive.

...or how much of an issue it would be to plug into what's already there, but hopefully it's not terrible assuming the existing provider would agree to let you in.

They won't let you in.

I guess the main risk is that doing this might wake up the provider who would then finish their rollout to get those customers back, and undercut you on price.

And they also do that. National ISPs can afford to lose money in one city in the short term but you can't.
You need to make sure you're io lines are imprinted on the edge of the wafer.

It's much easier to do by making the io lines at the ends of each "chip" , vs a circle that cuts in the middle of the "chip".

D has a `pure` attribute for functions, and yes it is enforced. It's enforced even to the point where it becomes a PITA, but when you manage to make functions pure, you know it's solid.

One pain point with pure functions is you can't insert debug logging statements. D has a special case for that - purity for a statement isn't checked if it is prefixed with the `debug` keyword:

pure int square(int x) {
debug printf("called square\n");
return x * x;
}

which is very, very handy.
The timing has to be right, a lot more young people have been raised where communicating through an app is the default way of communication and actually talking to someone is really weird.
It's because it's SRAM, not DRAM. Think how much L3 cache your processor has. A few MB probably. That's what this chip's memory is equivalent to.

Scholars Discover Original Locke Manuscript in Greenfield Library
Its been a while for me too, I lived in Beijing for a little over 3 years and it has been my experience that access to western media was not all that difficult. There was a general consensus among my friends (mostly academics) that this was by design as the state saw a need for at-least some dissenting discussion among an "intellectual upperclass" to prevent stagnation.
I find it amusing that the state controlled news media sounded more like an epic drama then anything we in the west would consider "political news".

But all of these examples require you to speculate about the motives of other people.

Apple products are qualitatively different from its competitors products. Whether that makes them better is a personal preference. The same can absolutely be said about wine, and expensive watches. Watches can be used to signal status, or satisfy some aesthetic tastes, but they are also some of the most beautiful examples of high-precision mechanical engineering you can find. If I was filthy rich I’d absolutely by a nice watch with an exposed tourbillon, there’s no such thing as a cheap version of that.
Flagging bot accounts does not strike me as something a computer would be able to do. If they notice that the machine learned to recognize keywords, they'll use different ones; if they notice it recognizes IP addresses, they'll use different ones; etc. It seems very similar to spam classification to me.
Yes, I'm sure it will be a meaningful difference. Will it eliminate all of the problems with political finance? No, and it's unreasonable to expect it to do so.
Totally agree with career mode being a great guide to the tech tree, but it also stopped me from doing grand tours and the like. Just never got that far and tended to start fresh after putting the game down for a while. Self-imposed challenges like no save scumming also didn't help, though.

In the US, the bar to repress a right requires more than a theory. You can't put restrictions on the right to vote because it might cut down on voter fraud.

Nation states however have no such right. Thus the ability to bar their propaganda is much lower, as it should be.

edit: limit to bar in p2
Is there a meaningful difference between a "fine" levied on the state by a firm and a fee the state pays the firm for a service? I'm reminded of Joe Nacchio... there's a guy who didn't understand this business.

Right, they describe different aspects of how types work in a language.
Brains run on computation. Computation is fungible. The highest bandwidth signal in the brain is through neuron spiking, and there isn't much space for other mechanisms to hide. Take a simple 10 virtual neurons:1 synapse ratio as a rough upper bound of how much computation the brain can be doing, and by necessity the rest is architecture.

This is not at all like teleportation. It is absurd to claim numbers much larger than my own. 100:1? Where would the computation be? It is completely unnecessary to claim that the brain must have vast amounts of hidden capacity to do what it does, rather than the secret being in the ‘software’, and it goes against most of what we know about the brain, its ancestry, and computation.

This is not like teleportation. The brain isn't magic. I don't have to claim to know how the brain works to point this out.
Keeping in mind that Tegmark's idea is 2,500 years old and the basis of Western civilization. Pythagoras was the biggest philosophical influence on Plato. And, according to Aristotle (150 years later), Pythagoras believed that "all is number".

Thales (the "first" Greek philosopher) believed that the underlying principle of the world was water, a kind of flowing force. Anaximenes, his student, believed the underlying principle was air, a sort of bouncing around set of particles.

Pythagoras believed that underneath everything, the most basic underlying principle was math. And not just that: he believed that the natural harmonies in mathematics led to the natural harmonies in the kosmos (a term he is credited with introducing, along with the term "philosopher").

I must say that I have never had an SD card fail on me.

I use two in my primary camera that are setup for mirroring just in case. One in my pocket camera and one in a Raspberry PI. So maybe that's why I haven't experienced any failures. Don't know if model of card has any relevance, but I only buy the SanDisk Extreme Pro cards.

Aside from those controversies, does anyone else find it kinda weird that KSP is not FOSS? I mean, I don't wanna sound like the guy that points an index finger at devs making proprietary software but I would've guessed they have the right kind of audience for that. (In the sense that their audience would still pay for the program and they might actually benefit from open sourcing it.)

It's an evolution. In the 50s white bread was considered modern, sanitary, more shelf stable, and futuristic. Now rustic and artisanal bread is considered nutritious with higher quality ingredients because we have fewer worries about quality and we're not giving up many of those other traits. Soon enough, that will be mass produced and there will be some other signal of higher quality or desirable trait that requires us to buy newer toasters.

I still think white bread makes a better grilled cheese, pb&j, and brioche makes superior french toast. Those are all terrible on multi grain bread, which has its own uses.
I thought I was going to be the first to mention Cinemania but it seems you beat me to it! It was a major influence on how I found great/classic movies to watch. It was really informative and just overall a pretty great piece of software for the time. I distinctly remember discovering Silence of the Lambs on Cinemania and they had a clip of the famous "...ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti" scene and one or two other clips from that film and I knew I had to watch the movie. Really interesting product, for sure.
Fair. You will cringe hard. I haven't been to a cinema for a space movie since Interstellar, but I vividly remember watching The 100 at home, standing up and almost walking away from the computer screaming "THIS IS NOT HOW YOU DEORBIT A SPACE STATION".

Other KSP side effects include: wondering how much Δv your car has, calling reverse "retrograde", calling right/left "normal"/"antinormal", calling up/down "radial-out"/"radial-in"...

Got it. I agree with your point that after months of gardening I will probably be dreaming of the beauties of YAML files, or even XML if the gardening period was too long. But still, does it solve the motivation/productivity problem? Also, during long breaks you lose the context, so both types of activities will be less productive.
Are you assuming the state and federal governments don't have any impact on cities?
The thing that bothers me is we should be able to do lightweight SPAs with server-side rendering.

There is no reason why the following MUST be done client-side:

var label = new Label();
var result = await server.getResult();
label.setText(label);

It was this that led me to invent this for one of my own products.

Initially, I had thought server-side React would do this, but apparently it's only for first-load.

many embedded interfaces/controllers don't have very fast processors/microcontrollers

I'm reminded of the discussion the other day about military procurement ignoring software. Prototype the UI first, then choose a processor that's fast enough.
Squad was/is a marketing company based out of Mexico. The owner of the company agreed to let his lead technical guy work on KSP as a side project as a bribe to keep him from leaving to do other things. KSP took off, and the team grew to more than five people. After the 1.0 release most (all) of the original team left, especially after they outsourced the console port to an outside team. The original KSP team are all now working on independent projects.

KSP2 is sort of a Battlefield 5 type game, where somebody still owns the IP but the original team that built the engine/brought the magic is gone. It might be good, who knows.

In my opinion I'm a little skeptical about KSP2 as the base KSP1 game was so moddable that I can't imagine what they would add to KSP 2 that isn't in the base game through mods already. But maybe it will be even better than the first.
Thanks, I'd forgotten about that.
Side projects: just one more thing
Ok. Sure, those are games made by small teams. Still, they have a high degree of polish and depend on good, consistent performance because the combat requires precision.

I suspect that KSP is janky because of KSP (or because it was built on a very old Unity and ported over across many engine versions.)
More broadly, "clever" software licenses really hamper adoption. Even if it's not exactly AGPL and it has lots of exceptions, the mere mention is enough to scare off many developers and companies.
Open Letter to Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos
Climate change will kill our children.

We need to "Electrify the Town", a nationwide
campaign of plans towns can adopt to replace
ALL use of oil and gas with electric by 2025.

Elon, you have the technology to develop town
vehicles such as police cars, trash trucks, and
other construction vehicles run by electricity.
You have the solar technology.

Bill, you have the financial ability to draft
boilerplate proposals that towns can adopt to
move to electricity. Fund an effort to develop
"town consultants" to visit towns and propose
local solutions based on general plans.

Jeff, you have the ability to move your whole
transport network to electric vehicles. You can
create "town discounts" on electric conversion,
battery and solar solutions, and education.

All town facilities should be electric. All gas
stations should have charging stations. All town
heating should be electric. We need this changed
by 2025.

The change needs to be nationwide. The change
needs to start now. Only you have the funding
and technology to make it happen in every town
everywhere.

"Electrify the Town". Local change. Global results.

The difference between a paid person and an unpaid person may not be so large. I heard from someone who looked into the anti-vax accounts on Facebook (in ~2013, when the comments on HN about this news would have been about preserving free speech on Twitter rather than good on them for doing this) that she found some people believed it so strongly that they wrote bots to respond to public messages that use certain keywords. These weren't government sockpuppets, they were concerned citizens.

I'm pretty sure this was the podcast where I heard that: https://samharris.org/podcasts/145-information-war/ (Relatively near the beginning of where the guest comes into the podcast, if I remember correctly.)

I want to agree with everything said here, and add that the KSP mod ecosystem is no joke. The few things mentioned here barely scratch the surface.

As a point of comparison: I'm aware of and long involved with the Minecraft community, and it is huge and excellent. While the total amount of mod material is likely greater for Minecraft compared to KSP, I'm comfortable saying that the mods in KSP are deeper and wider in scope.
I love the honest descriptions and mission you are driving on here. As the other poster said, a lot of it will come down to "experience is the best." (at least in my opinion too).

I see the value draw to younger people who aren't really sure what they want to do, or older workers who might want to jump to a new career path. Nothing beats candid opinions.

I don't see much you should add, adding more feels like it would try to make the product do more than it should; I feel it's great where its at.

Well done.
Perhaps they are faster than well written C, which you say you have discounted, do doesn't bear comparison.

This actually seems like useful data that actually can be used to make the lives of the consumer (as opposed to the advertiser) better. It would be great if Google would open this up and make it available publicly, so we could have good data on what carrier has coverage where.

Having it available publicly, I think, would also spur carriers to increase their data coverage.
