I’ve been saying that since two years ago. This bull market has been one of the greatest artificial run in history. OR it could be that we’ve been conditioned to think this way based on the dotcom lores and permanent risk-aversion stemming from the financial crisis. I personally believe the incredible rise in standard of living across the globe is something people in the investment community do not talk about enough. And that is how I come to terms with the past decade.
Interesting, perhaps some of the guidelines have been revised down in recent years. I distinctly remember both France and Italy having higher recommended daily limits and the only explanations I could find were that wine was part of the culture and thus the governments were reluctant to recommend substantially less than what people were actually drinking in practice.
In a monorepo, it’s generally possible to have one version identifier that describes the state of all the code in it.

Additionally, you generally get more flexibility of how to slice and dice your view of the repo, rather than being locked into code boundaries that were set once and are difficult to change.
Thanks for the insight.

Let me tell you about my friend who just got done being treated for advanced leukemia at City of Hope in LA. He would have died quickly and painfully if they didnt hit it hard with chemo. He's in much better shape now and is waiting for a bone marrow transplant. The treatment bought him valuable time and took the pain away.

Yeah he will likely be treated until he eventually dies.

Are you suggesting he should have instead gone on a juice fast?

Since your mention euros: I am sure you know that cc transactions are protected in the EU and that you cannot be held accountable above 200 or 250€ (don't remember, this changed recently) when the transaction is fraudulent.

I know you said 100€, but I do not belive a bank will make the claim. I was in that situation twice, the first time they did not even mention it, and the other time they did mention it. When I asked "and so what" they said that they just informed me of that but they they will, of course, not make the claim.
I guess it's expected to be self-evident.

Coal vs. Nuclear is a false dichotomy. We need to double down on renewables that by some estimates are already cheaper to build let alone to run and to decommission when plants reach their end of life.
Presumably there's an applet in the SIM card that holds a key pair and allows you to sign stuff by providing the SIM PIN. You interact with it via STK which is an old standard allowing SIMs to tell the phone to draw rudimentary UIs and ask the user for input.

I think that's a stretch.

There was a clarification earlier in the article about the difference between a one-off piece of criticism and a pattern of obsessively negative commenting on everything you do.

A critic might respond to every Tesla mention on Elon Musk's twitter with a negative response because they think (rightly or wrongly) that the company is overhyped.

A hater would do the above but also respond negatively to him posting a picture of a sandwich he made and say that it's a terrible sandwich just because he made it.

I took the article to encourage trying to differentiate, and if you find yourself interacting with the latter, then not thinking much about them seems like a valid technique.
Thank you for all this detailed feedback, this actually helps a lot in understanding.

"I suspect it’s not doing anything direct for your anxiety, rather damping the racing heartbeat and increased blood pressure you usually experience in anticipation of stress (PTSD style association), and without that biofeedback sensor, your metacognition of anxiety doesn’t ramp up as much."

That's it. Heartbeat is gone, anxiety is still there. Also the "adrenaline rush" is gone.
I'd rephrase the submission title to 'choosing the first working day of the week for a surgery doubles your chance of success"

In the US it is Monday as in the title, but in other countries, Israel for example, it would be Sunday.
I read an article here some time ago that banks take no responsibility if they lose/destroy the contents of their boxes as someone learnt the hard way with precious family possessions.
let’s be honest. Paris center is really great, but all the rest is trash by any standard (not even the japanese one).

And i’m not even talking about suburbs, which people coming from the airport must go through. People are absolutely not what you’d expect french to look like ( and i’m not talking about size), public transport are a total trash, working only half the time correctly.. Restrooms makes us look like a third world country, etc.

I could go on and on , but i’ll just sum it up with one anecdote : i spent a month in japan, and this is the first time in my life i felt ashamed of the way we treat tourists in Paris. Food in touristic places is garbage, people are generally rude, etc etc..

My advice if you want to visit paris : rent something nice in the center, and take a cab straight from the aiport, and make the ride by night.
I’m on a tech salary with the savings to match, and I couldn’t tell you what a load of bread costs +\-$1, nor a pint of milk. I don’t think you have to go very far to the wealth ladder to no longer be price-concious about stuff like bread. You need it, you buy it. And I drive a fifteen year old Toyota, not a McLaren. Speaking of which, couldn’t tell you what a gallon of gas costs WA state, either.

Point is, I always found such questions silly. When’s the last time you think a president or prime minister bought a gallon of milk? And would you fault them for having staff do that? Would this really be news to the public?
You'll first have to parse the SAS code, then output python or some other intermediate form.

Does an open source parser exist?

Golang did a C to Go transpile, there are some articles and maybe a talk on it out there. It likely won't be 100% perfect, so you will need tests to verify correctness.

I have a tool that isn't open source yet, but it could be quite useful if you can get SAS to an AST in json or other data format. Hit me up if you'd be interested in talking about that option.

My honest opinion is that they know healthcare specifically is so far behind meeting their regulator requirements they have been trying to slowly phase in penalties.
I always love a new article from PG, but this one kind of misses the mark.

I really appreciate how PG applies a sort of pattern matching sense of logic to the world to create really novel insight-- his pattern match here is that haters are fanboys. But it rings a bit untrue, and I don't think yields real insight.

Startups, PG himself and tech have to weather a wide swathe of criticism-- but it can often be warranted. It can seem like companies have haters, but do they have haters or valid critics?

Here's some of the very valid criticisms that tech has had to deal with:

- facial recognition abuse

- privacy data breaches

- misrepresentation of value to shareholders and customers

- theft of contractors tips

- myriad harassment claims towards all genders

- retaliating against whistleblowers

- massive settlements to employees who are accused of crimes

- ceding to Chinese demands for censorship

- taking contracts for controversial governmental agencies

- squashing nascent union organizing (agree or not, people have a right to discuss and consider this)

And I'm sure I'm missing some here.

So ultimately his pattern matching is incorrect. The Twitterati take constant aim at PG and tech for what are quite serious issues. Simply put it's not haterism, it's valid criticism.
He's not the devil, he just makes it extremely hard for alphabet to claim any moral authority (or that it's really being serious) about the issue of executives facing any consequences for misbehavior. It's pretty awkward to simultaneously say "we will never have another Andy Rubin case" and have a chief legal officer who dated (and mistreated) a subordinate.
Yeah that's the main reason i had to read it. Even if you got to 100 percent on Monday that would imply only 50 percent success on other days. Nobody would have an elective procedure with that low success rate.

This is a huge assumption. Wine tastes better served in a heavier bottle. More weight objectively does something with value perception.

Admittedly I’m running a pretty budget setup, so modern systems may have improved measurably, but I’ve noticed on both my desktop and my laptop (with 2010 Intel 5 Series chipsets) the onboard audio line out gets really noisy, so much so that I can hear different kinds of buzzing when I move the mouse and scroll :) Wouldn’t call myself an audiophile by any means either, haha.

Could we have this pinned because the whole "Google uses a Monorepo and so should you" has become a huge meme and grown legs.

And you're right this topic is on a circular timer.
This gives me the impression that you didn't quite get what the article was about, and I'm not supposed to suggest that you didn't read it but let's just say I have my suspicions.

This company is often buying songwriter's catalogs, not just specific public-facing artists that come and go.

And while you may not remember the artists names, these songs often end up in commercials and other adaptations that generate revenue, even if they're not actually the original recording.

If a commercial plays the song "Whip It," do you remember that it was performed by Devo? I sure didn't, but I've seen it in a heck of a lot of commercials, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqnPciNhQXU

The rights holder to that song undoubtedly made money from that commercial, even though the lyrics have been changed.

The importance of the songwriter over the artist has been growing, all of this was mentioned in the article.

While I recognize it's an attempt to highlight the "takeaway", the submission title (currently "Choosing Monday for a surgery increases your chance of success 2 times") seriously distorts the actual study contents.

It's not analyzing "success" of the surgery, but "30-day mortality for (almost) any cause". (While death caused by the surgery is definitely failure, the absence of death isn't necessarilt "success".)

Also, there's no evaluation of "consciously choosing Monday" as a causal factor. There could be all sorts of pressures causing the surgeries on different days-of-the-week to have different risk factors, even if they're all "elective". (As they note: "One of the weaknesses of using administrative data is that we were unable to completely adjust for inherent selection biases that probably exist for elective procedures that are scheduled on weekends.".)

I can believe there's some effect of patient choice, possibly related to staff exhaustion, post-op complications happening during under-resourced weekends, but expect a lot of the effect found here to be due to factors pushing certain surgeries/deaths into certain days (and arbitrary categories that might have affected inclusion).
Ever even spoken to an oncology nurse or doctor? They are drenched in altruism. You have no idea what you're talking about. Dude.
I have a feeling OP means they are sterilized or autoclaved but some (now non-dangerous) particles remain as there is no medical point in thoroughly cleaning them after sterilization. Which would make sense.
Slightly off topic, but in Paul's recent essays the footnotes are no longer linked to in the body of essay. In this one from 2016 you'll see [1] or [2] and so on in the body, and the links jump you down to the relevant note at the bottom:

Everything more recent than that does not have the notes linked in the body.

I'm just saying that's why I stopped using them, not that it's a differentiating factor between static and dynamic languages. I wrote books about Perl, I taught classes on Perl. Having to install stuff from CPAN was probably the most common complaint. I wrote a new CPAN client at some point, and it didn't help. Enough was enough; the approach failed and I moved on to writing my code some other way (as did all of those students, probably). npm seems to have gotten something that mostly works; I use that and tolerate it because I have no other choice for client-side stuff, but I don't really do enough browser programming to call myself a Javascript user.

Yes, static languages have dependency hell. I've ./configure'd a million times and have wanted to die about 80% of the time. I've used buildroot and have wanted to die 100% of the time. I never seriously programmed in C or C++ to say that I've stopped using them, so while they're broken... you can't stop using something that you haven't started using. (I still cringe when I see that some C-based project I want to use doesn't have binaries. It's especially annoying because I mostly use Windows now. I want "dc" in Powershell because that is my preferred calculator app... but can't compile it, and apparently neither can anyone else. Wow.)

Python is a pretty great programming language... but it's just not worth the tradeoffs. It is nice that bottle is one file; that is going to increase its adoption. It is not a solution to any general problem, though; the next library you depend on is going to require virtualenv and 100 dependencies, and they will fail to install.

I perform Bach terribly. But I consume Bach wonderfully when I play. I call it “Listening to the music with my hands.”

I have experienced this with many other physical activities. To ride a twisting descent engages your brain more deeply than to look at the same road or trail. To climb a boulder engages your brain more deeply than to look at the line.

Climbers pantomime the moves before climbing just as aerobatic pilots pantomime their routine before flying. Physical motion engages the brain a certain way that simply thinking, listening, or watching does not.

The pleasure of listening to music with your hands begins when you first make a single satisfying note happen. It is not necessary to be able to play what you would like to hear.
Has potential for the exact same selection bias as the judge study, you mean? See if we can discover some impossibly hungry programmers.
This might be the best post in this thread. I think you can see a lot of the paternalistic orientation on display even in this thread. I think it’s that sort of hubris which causes people to react in the opposite direction and reject the whole thing. So who to blame for me is clear, it’s the doctors.

If this allegation about the intent of Graham's article is correct, then that article comes across as disingenuous and passive-aggressive, regardless of its validity with respect to haters in general.
You can address things like that with predictive matching. You don't actually wait until there are three rides before matching anybody, you just look at the data for this timeslot and expect that statistically there will be three rides this hour, use that rate based on the drivers who are on, and assign the nearest of the three lowest bidding drivers as they come. If a fourth ride appears that hour then you immediately raise the rate to the fourth lowest bidding driver starting with that ride, and so on, and next time have more data and make a better prediction.

Touch ID and other biometrics are enforced locally.

The device is first enrolled, the website gives the device a secret value which the device can put in its secure element. When needing to authenticate again the device checks biometrics locally and if correct then the secure element releases the secret value which is then either passed onto the website or used as part of a challenge-response authentication.

This means if you lose or reset your device you can't get back in despite having the right biometrics.

This is very important. When you're developing a large monorepo like Google3 you frequently get large scale changes from engineers outside your team, doing exactly these kinds of large scale reactors. It puts the onus of fixing things on the people making changes in the widely used libraries rather than separately on all the individual library users, which is great. It's way more efficient to have one person who knows exactly what's changing go fix it everywhere than require dozens or more separate engineers to have to investigate some new incompatibility and then potentially resolve it in sub-optimal ways.

Totally agree. Modern medicine is a miracle. But it’s also not the solution to everything. When I taught yoga classes I saw quite a few people who had had multiple failed surgeries for back, knee and other problems. They got their problems under control by doing some simple exercises and more awareness of their movement patterns. This can’t be denied either.
