They know something. Fascists have discovered how to use modern media to take over governments. The outcome is predictable.
Your argument is circular: You are assuming a "free-market system" to be better than the US health care system. Then, you use this assumption to "prove" that US health care is suboptimal. Which in turn you're using to argue for a "free market" system.

They are making an empirical argument that pricing in the US is not actually out of line when compared to the correct base. This would imply that the US system is about as efficient as all others. And considering the differences between vastly different systems are almost negligible, it is also an argument that these systems are rather efficient. Because if there were easy wins with any specific measures, you would expect some systems to improve relative to others with skill or just luck.

Yeah, in hindsight maybe we could just switch to YAML but it does have quite a lot more syntax.

Jsn started as a python function which removed comments and fixed trailing commas. YAML does not come bundled with python and is an external dependency..

I suppose looking at it now jsn grew to a point where using something else in the first place would have been less work :)
Cool article.

While I cannot find the exact quote from Martin Odersky[0], I do believe he once said something along the line of, "it takes about ten years to make a complete typed language."

If anyone also recalls this and has a link to the quote, I would much appreciate the pointer to it.

> you need to lift the called-once restrictions, which opens a hole for an attacker

I don't see how that's the case; my original question was essentially asking what that security hole is. Provided that syscall ability is opt-out by default and that only code subjected to ASLR is permitted to be authorized, it doesn't seem terribly risky to allow additional such regions to be registered. An exploit has to contend with ASLR either way; either by locating libc, or by locating some other authorized region within the current process.

We do have a mutual understanding on whether C foreign function interfaces are available for other programming languages, which does enable languages to send system requests (for systems which are written in C) or to create optimized C code to parse documents or calculate formulas. I am aware that the concept of making languages talk with C interfaces exist. And I made the above statement knowing this.

I'm rather surprised that there isn't more innovation in firearms. For example: Has anyone tried to build a rifle that fires inert pellets using a combustion chamber powered by hydrocarbons (say… propane) and an oxidizer (oxygen or nitrous oxide)? That would make ammunition much lighter and cheaper, eliminate the need for brass feeding/extracting mechanisms, and allow for "dial a velocity" by feeding different amounts of gas into the combustion chamber.

Another possibility would be to have a belt that accelerates the projectile. The "ammunition" in that case would be batteries and inert projectiles. Like a propane gun, velocity could be customized for each shot by varying the belt speed.
that's a great link!
Sounds like some slow authentication middleware, and who knows what else.
>My impression of it is that it's an "API" that's masquerading as a dumb relay, essentially giving almost datastore-level access to the frontend client (even though they don't market it that way). And this is done so that "Frontend devs" can just do "Frontend" things with access to all the data they might end up using. A bit snarky, but I do see it as a way to just "offload" the problem down the line, instead of thinking about the API-usage and what it means for potential frontend clients. That's the "old way" of doing things of course.

Or to take into the account that you have no idea what people actually use your API for. Lately i had to write an simple reporting site(simple, as i work with backend and GIS mostly) - using an existing API.

I need a fraction of data sent by API, but in bulk - it doesn't support that, nor i can change it.

Currently i do have to make a bulk requests that includes filters on the query, then i do need to individually request each record - as bulk API does not return the bloody two extra fields i need.

It turns a single query into N queries - which is slow and annoying as server cannot handle being hammered by thousands of rest API calls. Not to mention that i literally need 4 fields out of like 40.

If the app implemented graphQL it would be a breeze to just fetch what i need instead of waiting minutes(!).

They're not giving access to health records and private P2 data (although I see no reason why they shouldn't if granted access explicitly by the patient via Oauth or similar. 'Alexa, when's my next doctor's appointment' would be quite useful)

Modern SPA frameworks are usually built on components. You can combine components to define a tree of elements that represents your UI. This pattern is also often referred to as a Declarative UI pattern.

GraphQL works well with declarative UIs, because you can define fragments and combine them to create queries that best match the data the current set of components you are loading require. In this way, it's flexible in a way REST isn't (at least typically) and syncs well with Declarative UIs.

I can't speak to datalog though.

Nit-pick / pet-peeve regarding Big O notation!

> Hash tables provide constant time O(1) access for single values, while trees provide logarithmic time O(log n) access. For single value lookups, this means hash tables are faster,

> for small n, the hash table is better, but for large n, the cost of that rare scan dominates, and the tree is better

The Big O notation describes how the number of operations scales as the size of the input tends to infinity: the asymptotic complexity. This means that an O(1) algorithm can include some fixed number of operations, even enough to add _years_ onto the runtime, and still be classed as O(1).

Essentially I don’t think it’s really enough to consider the asymptotic complexity of algorithms to compare practical runtimes. You need to know what the smaller-order / constant terms are.

My suggestions for higher quality is to spend more time:

1. Designing/Picking your data structures

As you begin to code, your output and data needs might change; this might need you to change the design of your structures. Some novice developers, might think 'screw it, I've gone this far already. I've already spent a few days on this. No going back now.' If more time was taken in the beginning to plan and choose, you might be able to avoid this.

2. Refactoring.

Leave yourself some time to refactor before you push a commit. Those extra few hours or day will give you time to really go through your code and tidy it up. Think of your first commit as a first draft, then do a couple of revisions before you squash and push.

Good luck.

Right - but there is also a relationship between IQ and educational attainment. So controlling for it means that you're measuring something fundamentally different. That's fine, but you can't just control for things without having a valid theoretical construct to justify it. (Well, OK, you can, and people do, and it's great for getting p<0.05 if you don't care about getting meaningful answers about the underlying questions.)

> Why would I give a flying f..k about what Peskov has to say

Because exactly this was a widely discussed question when Peskov said that the Russian police was too lenient and in US one could be killed for throwing a bottle.

The research Russian internet did, said that indeed you may get shot if you throw a bottle at policemen one on one when policemen demands from you to stand still, but never such thing have happened during protests and even people throwing stones do not get multiple years of prison. So the line of question you used, is an attempt to manipulate with facts and lie.

> Same thing again. Why would I give a hoot about where are you from?

it is relevant, because if you were not assuming i am from US, why would you tell what is happening in US, in a totally different situation?

This is only possible if the killing happens in total secrecy. The court of public opinion is a judicial process, and an important one, despite having only informal procedures.

Conversely, a base Tesla Model 3 puts out about 200kW sustained for longer than most machine guns fire a string; 5.56 NATO is about 1800J; a M16 fires at 13Hz; if your process is 100% efficient this is about a power demand of 24KW or about 1/8th of what the Model 3 draws from its battery pack.

> There are downsides to MDMA.

According to here[0], you are quite correct:

Amphetamines are a class of psychostimulant drugs that are widely abused for their stimulant, euphoric, empathogenic and hallucinogenic properties. Many of these effects result from acute increases in dopamine and serotonin neurotransmission. Subsequent to these acute effects, methamphetamine and 3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) produce persistent damage to dopamine and serotonin nerve terminals. This review summarizes the numerous interdependent mechanisms including excitotoxicity, mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress that have been demonstrated to contribute to this damage. Emerging non-neuronal mechanisms by which the drugs may contribute to monoaminergic terminal damage, as well as the neuropsychiatric consequences of this terminal damage are also presented. Methamphetamine and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) have similar chemical structures and pharmacologic properties compared to other abused substances including cathinone (khat), as well as a relatively new class of novel synthetic amphetamines known as ‘bath salts’ that have gained popularity amongst drug abusers.

Why do you expect me to prove a negative? These "scientists" (really just tinkerers) need to argue for their implicit claim first.

But they don't. They take the (correct, but hardly useful) statement "methylation generally increases with age" and instead say "with maturity" to make it sound impactful.
You're right, I did extrapolate your statement - sorry about that.

It's clear we're approaching this issue from completely different fundamental positions. To me, your question is uninteresting because my underlying belief is that all human beings that live in a society deserve a life where they don't have to worry about fundamental needs, such as food, shelter and hygiene.

I think everyone should receive enough money from their jobs to afford decent, nutritional food, a small apartment, and hygiene articles. Even if they are hard-working or complacent, stupid or intelligent.

This is an old and tired viewpoint, that space is just a huge waste of resources that could be applied to more down to Earth (haha) needs. It's usually used when discussing poverty, though.

For the current climate emergency, it's factually wrong, without even getting into philosophy. Two words: artificial satellites. Without them we would be unable to track deforestation, thinning ice sheets, atmospheric composition, surface temperature, all of which are absolutely critical in understanding climate change and monitoring our impact.

And while the rockets that have placed these satellites in orbit are not capable of sending humanity to other worlds, I'm sure that the people that design them would love for that to be the case.
This seems to me like a false dichotomy of interplanetary scale - there's no reason we can't both fix the Earth and also venture forth. I'm starting to have some sympathy for the conspiracy theory that there are forces working to stymie man's progress in space because they cannot bear the prospect of there being a portion of humanity outside of their control.

Yes, well I can see your narrative.. :)

At any rate, all I am saying is workplaces are astoundingly good at filtering negative information about themselves from past employees and there are plenty of psychologists who can tell you why whistleblowers are rare and often get the brunt of the negativity.

There are a million examples of the Rashomon that don't have the same flaws as using it to discredit what little information you can find in public about a workplace.

Obviously you should not assume everything is true or literal, but if many ex and even current employees are talking then its highly likely they were traumatized in a way that overrides their natural self interest. So ignore them at your peril.
Re: "not suitable for repeated readings"

I have seen this sentiment repeated elsewhere and this thread, and I feel compelled to ask what atrocities are you folks committing to your paperback books on a daily basis that they can only be read once before they are evidently turning to dust in the wind?

I regularly check out paperback books from my library which have not only withstood dozens of readers before me, but also the automated sorting machines that my library chain (Queens NY) uses, as well as regular shipment between different libraries. Despite all of this, most of these books are still entirely readable and some of them honestly look pretty good for their usage.

There seem to be a lot of people in this thread who value books primarily as an art medium for filling up bookshelves, and I'm happy that they get enjoyment from that, but the point of getting a paperback book is the ability to read a book, take in its content once or twice, maybe lend it to some companions, and then move on with your life without worrying about the proper conditions under which to store paper for archival purposes.
