A lot of health care education and training is clinical placements.

It’s great for learning techniques, but it also means the right answer is the preceptor’s desired answer. Which isn’t much different than random videos.

In other words, old bad habits don’t die, they get reinforced.

Book-learning has its advantages, but it isn’t as fun.
Its more like pretending you put on the play and taking ticket money at the door without giving anything back.
I'm just a casual HN reader, but my understand is that the up vote button is not to be used as an "I agree" button but rather as a "This is relevant to the conversation" button. That being said, as the comment is by a cofounder of PIA, it is extremely relevant regardless of opinion about this situation.
I had no idea that the old Embarcadero Freeway ran directly in front of the ferry building, before it was rebuilt in its current location in South Beach. The article includes a great photo that really highlights how different the city must have felt then. Contrast this to the measure that residents just recently passed to entirely forbid vehicles (except buses and taxis) east of 10th St.
This is the first I have heard about Mark Karpeles being their CTO... I had to look it up, because it seemed too ridiculous to be real, but it is. Their judgment is compromised. I can't trust them with my network traffic anymore.
Decimal numbers are not conceptually any more or less exact than binary numbers. For example, you can't represent 1/3 exactly in decimal, just like you can't represent 1/5 exactly in binary.

When handling money, we care about faithfully reproducing the human-centric quirks of decimal numbers, not "being more accurate". There's no reason in principle to regard a system that can't represent 1/3 as being fundamentally more accurate because it happens to be able to represent 1/5.
> I also am very weary to mix asynchronous code with other primitives like threading, multiprocessing. If I am going the route of async programming - I usually just intend to optimize a single thread - and then I leave it up to the OS to optimize across multiple processes.

A lot of the time you simply can't not have another thread or process, for example, when you have a blocking library call or CPU intensive task.
R-Evolution: A Story of Rust Adoption at Microsoft
The “only visible in home country” clause does seem to support TikTok’s claim that they were doing it for the hidden users benefit. It’s hard to say whether or not the policy has a net positive or negative effect.

If you browse the recommended posts page on the app, it’s pretty much guaranteed that you’ll see someone who falls under the named categories from the article (queer, fat, disabled). They’re almost always showered with support and positivity in the comment sections.
It should be like Y2K - Experts advised that there were likely to be serious problems, there was much fuss in the media alerting the general public about the potential for disaster, much effort and expenditure to mitigate the issue, and it wasn't disastrous in the end.

Instead it seems that between vested business interests and politics, the problem has been turned into an issue you can take sides on, and muddied the waters so much that nothing substantial gets done.

Restrictive housing is literally people trying to keep things the same. That seems like a definition of "conservative" if I have ever seen one.

You can argue that "Conservatives" (note the capital letter, denoting that his means an actual group) would be against rules on housing, but if you actually look at the rules in Republican leaning highly urban areas I bet you will find similar rules.

People dislike dealing with the effects of large scale changes. That really is not a Liberal or Conservative thing (note the capital letters).
Ah you're right. Should have read more closely. Here's an interview with the actual founder [1]. Relevant quote on the start of what became the current company: "Then at the end of 2013, we decided to give it one more go and we decided to build a workflow internally that would make our sales reps book 10x more meetings."

We can debate if that's a good or a bad idea ethically, but to a lot of people including myself, increasing sales meetings 10x = spamming the hell out of people, regardless of what "workflow" you're using. It's rather like increasing your ad clicks 10x with dark patterns and claiming you're totally helping people.

For including words in a sale pitch, I'd agree.

But this isn't a sales pitch. Some people are just bad at things. The explanation on that page require grade school levels of math. I think math that's taught in grade school can be objectively called simple. Some people suck at math. That's ok.

I'm very geeky. I get geeky things. Many times geeky things can be very simple to me.

I went to a dance lesson. I'm terribly uncoordinated physically. They taught me a very 'simple' dance step. The class got it right away. The more physically able got it in 3 minutes. It took me a long time to get, having to repeat the beginner class many times.

Instead of being self absorbed and expect the rest of the world to anticipate every one of my possible ego-dystonic sensibilities, I simply accepted I'm not good at that. It makes it easier for me and for the rest of the world.

The reality is, just like the explanation and the dance step, they are simple because they are relatively simple for the field.

I think such over-sensitivity is based on a combination of expecting never to encounter ego-dystonic events/words, which is unrealistic and removes many/most growth opportunities in life, and the idea that things we don't know can be simple (basically, reality is complicated). I think we've gotten so used to catering to the lowest common denominator, we've forgotten that it's ok for people to feel stupid/ugly/silly/embarrassed/etc. Those bad feelings are normal, feeling them is ok, and they should help guide us in life, not be something to run from or get upset if someone didn't anticipate your ego-dystonic reaction to objectively correct usage of words.

> reduced potential for socializing and exercising

This is partially balanced by not having to commute. The time your colleagues spend in a car every day, you can spend exercising or with your friends. Also, you could set up a timer, and take each hour a 5-minute break to exercise, while your colleagues at work are taking breaks to smoke or drink coffee.

I know a guy who works from home, and he codes while walking on a treadmill. Has more exercise during his 8 hours of coding than many employed people get during their entire day.

As a conservative here on HN:

I think the author is using conservative in the more direct sense: the people are fighting to keep things the way they are in terms of housing. This is at odds with the way the city is normally thought of in terms of being "liberal" (more accepting of change).

I don't think it's a statement on whether or not left or right wing policies contribute more to the issue.
Ask HN: How to “level up” as a software engineer?
After nearly a decade in the industry, the long term career prospects of being a rank and file web developer hacking on React UIs seems tenuous at best. What's the best way to go about transitioning to "real" software engineering i.e. systems development, aerospace, finance, AI/ML, etc.?

I find the future of the web platform dubious, and staking my entire livelihood on its' existence is increasingly a terrifying thought. What are the most in demand skills outside of web development?

I want to stress, regardless of my lukewarm feelings towards the UX, the engineering side of how this page is implemented is great.

It's using a few overlooked properties like CSS columns that get around needing to use JS to dynamically calculate height, and it's using Flexbox to get rid of any weird padding issues. I haven't tested, but I assume this will work in pretty much any modern browser (and even a few older ones like IE11) and degrades wonderfully when Javascript is disabled. It's screenreader accessible, it doesn't require messing with the HTML layout. It's some really pretty CSS.

The way people rely on assumptions.
Their homepage is pretty clear - they are trying to make cloud technologies more accessible in on premises solutions.

I am not an expert in the field, but I work at a place that is very resistant to cloud solutions for certain applications, and getting the same stuff working on prem can be difficult and pricey.
I would posit that GP doesn't know what they're talking about at all, and therefore chose to broadly slander "doctors" as if it's one single field.
You are assuming that increased resource consumption always is tied to increased GDP. Others have argued that once GDP hits a threshold, both incremental and total resource consumption decreases.

For example, a richer economy might replace physical goods with digital goods which have higher value and lower resource demand.

The premise maybe, but in reality OpenStack (initially) punted on a lot of essential parts like physical server management, installation, upgrades, monitoring, billing, etc. Just things like firmware updates are super-buggy in existing servers so I imagine Oxide will be working on that.
Off topic, but does anyone else notice that Lake Huron doesn't seem to exist on the Wikimedia map tiles used for the map in the first link?
Mostly the reason you see the same treatments is because there is no useful treatment, but they provide one anyways. Or they run a battery of tests, partly because they need to, to cover their ass from malpractice law suits, but also because its profitable for the hospital to do so.

Take the case of someone having a psychotic episode for the first time, with no prior history, who goes into the ER. The doctors will instantly put them on an anti psychotic medication. This decision will usually stop the psychosis, and means that they "fixed" the patient. But the ramifications of being put on these drugs prior to a proper diagnoses could be that the patient is never able to successfully get off them, a lifetime of drug dependence due to a split second decision. (Getting off these drugs often causes psychosis in itself, which creates a vicious life long cycle).

The medical institution bears no error in this case, they gave "treatment". Not putting the patient on medication is a risk to them, so they do it every time. The patient is uneducated in this matter, does not know that they will damage their brain, lose IQ points. The list goes on and on, it happens every day.

Like, if your benchmark for "quite nice overall" is "I can go multiple days without seeing someone breaking into a car or shitting in the street", then your niceness-o-meter is whacked, to say the least.
Curious, when can't you?

My mental model of floating-point types is that they are useful for scientific/numeric computations where values are sampled from a probability distribution and there is inherently noise, and not really useful for discrete/exact logic.

I naively always assumed that a webcam indicator light was hard wired to turn on when the camera was in use. If it isn't, why on earth not?
My experience has been that brokers can add a lot of value with mature companies, but they oftentimes over-complicate things for earlier-stage companies -- so making things simple, transparent, etc. is really key, which is what we're trying to do at Vouch. In addition, brokers sell insurance products that aren't tailored for start-ups. As a result, a lot of companies are either over or under-insured. And, on average, we're seeing our pricing as being very competitive relative to incumbents' offerings. We're not closed off to offering our programs through brokers, but for most start-ups we think this adds an unnecessary layer of cost/inter-mediation.
T-Mobile touts “nationwide 5G” that fails to cover 130M Americans
There are so many huge things to know about in physics ... so many gaping lacunae, I can't accept this. Sure nobody's thinking about them, instead preferring to fool around with non falsifiable piffle like noodle theory and "quantum information theory:" that's part of the problem.

Similarly in technology, there is much to do, but tinkering with hardware, craftsmanship; the things that worked in industrial labs in the old days: they're not done any more. Even making some simple piece of junk aluminum part, people waste time fooling around with solid designer and FEA instead of just handing a piece of graph paper to a former Navy machinist. There are entire books written in the post WW-2 era about fast development when people actually used to develop things quickly. Nobody does it. Well, the Russians and Chinese do, but they also develop big technology a lot faster than we do in the west.

I have no idea what's wrong with machine learning research; probably gratuitous abuse of grad students, people jumping after fashion, and lately brain drain.
" vs arrogant people who wonder aloud how systems developers and language designers could get such a "simple" thing wrong."

I never heard anyone complain that it would be simple to fix.
But complaining? Yes - and rightfully so. Not every webprogrammer need to know the hw details and don't want to, so it is understandable that this causes irritation.

Ooooh, I'd be very interested in seeing that spun out. I also find DRF borderline infuriating from a design standpoint.
I've been going the other way recently. How could it have been so tough to flavor dishes? Honey & frankincense might have been hard to come by, but oregano, basil, cilantro/coriander, cumin, parsley, anise, fennel, rosemary, tarragon, dill, chives, mint, and thyme (just off the top of my head) were all available in southern Europe and can mostly be grown in your kitchen.

The spice trade brought cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, black pepper, and turmeric.
Ask HN: Why is clockify not open source?
Or more generally, why do free, privacy-respecting tools choose to not go the open source route?
:D Thanks Dan!
totally false; I run a fully remote company with ~20 employees and we pay our devs more than what they would make at a comparable office job. That being said (this is going to sound bad), the lack of a personal relationship off the top allows us to fire quickly. So we tend to pay more for but only hold on to very competent devs.

Wouldn’t hitting a concrete wall, in a lighter car, be safer than a heavier car, assuming no drastic difference in safety systems in the car, since the overall force is still less? The frame of the car has to absorb less force.
