Well, first off it's not a "single, isolated requirements out of context."

From TFA

>in exchange for implementing clinical decision support (CDS) alerts in its EHR software designed to increase prescriptions for their drug products.

When and how the software would display the CDS alerts would be discussed in a planning meeting; the logic of each individual CDS alerts would not, those would be handed down from somewhere else. Software engineers are in no position to be suggesting or discussing individual clinical decisions. Software engineers aren't going into a planning meeting saying "hey, what about suggesting scheduling a pap test if the patient is a female between 21 and 60 and there's no record of a recent test?" That's not in the software engineer's purview.

So there's very little doubt in my mind that the "suggest opioids if XYZ" CDS alert came down in a list of other innocent CDS alerts like "suggest pap test if XYZ" or "suggest mammogram if XYZ" or "possible drug interaction detected" or "tetanus vaccine due."

Of course there's also the possibility that the system was engineered so that the person configuring the software builds all the CDS alerts themselves with a drag-and-drop interface.

But anyway, sometimes you, as an engineer implementing the system, don't get to personally participate in requirements gathering, planning meetings, or interfacing with the end users. Depending on a lot of factors, sometimes that's done by pointy haired bosses at a much higher level. Especially if you're just a contractor or a subcontractor. I once worked on a project as a short term subcontractor (around six months), I was literally handed detailed requirements, including mockups of all the screens, and told "implement this." Of course, everyone had their own opinion on how it should work, but it was not open for discussion.

So I have absolutely no reason to believe that the programmers of this software knew about this nefarious kickback scheme but I have reason to believe that they probably didn't.
> Can I only give access to a specific secret to a specific person/group of people?

yes.

> Playing with Secrets Manager it looks like anyone with access to the project can access all secrets.

just FYI, this is not the case. the "Secret Manager Secret Accessor" role must be applied per-secret for any identity to read the content of that secret.
IMHO I think one large part of it is synchronization. If you're having to synchronize things all the time, you're probably misusing threads and should be using a different execution model.
Well… Linux and macOS users can try it under WINE, perhaps?
Like people who are framed? By corrupt agents, who also got sentenced by the way?

Yeah, throw away the keys. Why not send him to Guantanamo while we're at it? There are plenty of innocent people there to keep him company.
Once there are any customer-complaints on a given SKU then co-mingling is deactivated.

Later, sellers attempting to co-mingle inventory are provided a seller-specific SKU that is matched to the parent and they're required to use. This ties all issues on their orders back to their store.

This still requires lots of human intervention, which sucks.
From the linked (Aaron's) post:

> .NET users need to culturally normalize the idea of adopting non-Microsoft .NET solutions when those third party technologies are better on the merits.

I'm a .NET developer and say: no. If Microsoft's solution satisfies my needs, I won't adopt a 3rd-party solution, especially if it has other nuget dependencies. Managing nuget packages can become hellish (looking at you Newtonsoft.Json) and MS at least takes some care with that.

I'm icky about adding dependencies and by using MS's solutions I can be relatively sure that they won't depend on latest shiny OSS package that could become a liability in the future.
That might work, though few drivers in the U.S. heed speed limits even in construction and school zones, where there are typically large brightly-colored signs and flashing lights and the stakes are much higher.

Also, since the bad behavior on display at the front of a green wave is pervasive in pretty much all traffic scenarios, it seems like a modicum of driver training might ultimately be the most foolproof approach.
Agreed on all your points about the security model. None of these things are black and white, it's more like each platform is a recipe and right now Apple is adding way too much salt to macOS.

The devastating impact isn't the plugins themselves, it's that no major creative apps are sandboxed in the Mac App Store, and the apps did invest in Apple technology stack are struggling for relevance. The devastating impact is in the lack of apps, and the problems the current apps are running into. I expect you're response will be: These apps are declining for other reasons, but I disagree and see a simple pattern: Apple had a strategy of supporting creating apps from 2000-2010 and creative apps thrived on their platforms, their policy was to work against creative apps from 2010-2020, and those apps stopped thriving. Simple cause and effect.
> and its deleted off of AWS after its viewed on the App

How do you know this? And how are you sure that information isn't shared before being deleted?

Also, it's not only about privacy (although I do think people should care a bit more about it than they do on average). Data stored and sold makes money that is dependent on you to produce, yet you get no compensation for it. Many people have a problem with that, including myself.
I feel like constraints are where developers get to shine.

Absolutely. And I think that's one of the ways you can tell that there is an art to programming. It's not just pushing buttons in the right order. (Something my boss doesn't understand because she took a computer class in high school and thinks she can do my job. "I know code.")

Computer science is a thing. Programming is a thing. They're not the same thing. And as we get into more abstractions, I feel like the programming side is becoming more an art form than the science it is presumed to be.
What isn't these days?
The problem of notebooks has been solved by the Python extension in Visual Studio Code (and some other editors too, although VS Code is the one I'm most familiar with).

Editing an ordinary Python file, if you insert the comment "# %%", you turn everything between that comment and the next "# %%" (or the end of the file) into a code cell that can be submitted to the ipython kernel, just as in a Jupyter notebook. The editor splits into two halves, the left half your Python file and the right half the Jupyter notebook window with submitted code and formatted output (e.g., DataFrames look pretty, plots display normally, etc.). When you're done running everything, you can export the result as a Jupyter notebook. Because you're editing an ordinary Python file, standard features like version control and importing the file you're editing into other files (you cannot normally import .ipynb files IIRC) work normally.

And of course since VS Code is a real editor/IDE, you can double click a file and have it open right up (no resorting to a Terminal to start your Jupyter session) and you get syntax themes, a built in Terminal, a git UI, code snippets, documentation on hover, vim mode if that's your thing, etc.

The only downside I've found is that the Python extension doesn't incorporate ipython's autocomplete in its own autocompletion, but that's a small price to pay for getting to treat .py files as notebooks.
That always seemed like a frame job to me. Ross was a good kid from Westlake with utopian ideals who got in over his head, so they had to smear his character for this takedown so the public could stomach it. The FBI also stole 1600 Bitcoins in the process, so it's not like the agents involved didn't have an incentive. [1]

They wanted to make an example out of him, and to add insult to injury, they took him out on a bullshit charge so he couldn't become a martyr for his well-meaning ideals of ending prohibition.

Can't agree enough.

Even directly after surgery, with all the related inflammation and dried blood and gross up there, I immediately noticed a massive airflow difference.

Do it.
The author, in case anyone didn't recognize the name:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ousterhout

Specifically, he created the Tcl programming language, which had a nice event loop way back when.
While you may be able to sympathise with the author's style of writing, I think my point still stands.
Aave the new kid in the defi ballpark
Also, from a legal liability standpoint, it's a near guarantee that SOME trivial quantity of open source code snuck in at some point in the last few decades. No matter how great your intentions are, somebody will have done it wrong, and the legal openings from "you used our copyrighted stuff to make Windows now pay us" is probably substantial.
Are you even looking? I did one Google search, and found this [1]:

Thanks!

I don't think she says anything I much disagree with. I think this even restates my point, in less inflammatory language:

> and here, my friends, is where the mythical "we have 12 years to fix this or the world ends" narrative comes from. (I'm not pointing my finger at anyone in particular here; I'm just saying I've heard this. A lot.)

> Concl'n: Science does not identify a specific goal, target, or timeline. What it says is simply this: the more carbon we produce, the worse the impacts. The best thing to do is wean ourselves off it, as soon as is humanly possible. As a human I'd add: while minimizing suffering.
Sounds like you didn't configure it to what you wanted. You can turn off the motion detection and just listen for door bell presses instead. Mine runs off the battery instead of hooking to a power line so I had to disable most of the features so that the battery would last longer than a month.

If you are remotely concerned about handing data to a 3rd party then I would just not use this doorbell. You can probably find a "dumber" one or construct one yourself. I might end up doing it, too, tbh.
Hey mine was non retina too!

It really was a fantastic piece of hardware, and probably the only Mac I’ll ever live. The dual SSDs(I replaced the cd drive too) gave it a few more years for me.

I’m pretty happy with the replacement I got though. It’s and MSI gaming laptop, but without the “gamer” look. It’ll handle anything I throw at it, so now I can take VR in the go.

Still gonna miss that MacBook though
Creating a quiz of the material covered and then taking that quiz a few days later. The act of memory recall reinforces learning... one of the many "tricks" picked up from the book "Make It Stick" -- https://www.amazon.com/Make-Stick-Science-Successful-Learnin...
Having the same issue with the motion detection. It’s so bad.. it’s been a few years since I used it, but I think the motion zones UI on my cheap Foscam security camera was way better. It blows my mind that they cost so much, the company has so much money, and it works so poorly.

Mine was a gift otherwise I’d have returned it too.
We want people to feel good about positive actions taken so when we have to pressure them again they have a reason to care and turn about. Any positive movement means they're slipping, realize they're slipping and have to do something to appease critics. But doing too little makes them a hypocrite and opens them to additional criticism. Which this article is an example of.

If I'm damned either way I'm going to go to hell doing as I please.
This mirrors my experience when I visited: incredibly hospitable, polite, and outgoing people.

As a US passport holder with no relation to Iran or Israel, it was easy enough to visit, although you are under the watch of your state-sanctioned minder the entire time as the author eluded to. Going through immigration on arrival, I was detained for about an hour while they presumably were examining my documents, but every encounter I had with police was fairly cordial if not a bit unprofessional.

Once inside, it is indeed a vibrant place. Tehran has a booming nightlife, and outside the gaze of the religious police people were living quite freely (especially in the Armenian or jewish communities). It seems they go to great lengths to do everything as privately as possible, as to not attract the attention of the morality police, allowing them to save face. Young people were quite adamantly secular, and apologetic for their theocratic government. You definitely get the impression that citizens feel the government doesn't represent them at all.

I'm not sure I plan on returning, but I'd certainly encourage curious people to visit as there is a lot worth seeing.

Right. And don't make any life changing decisions for at least six weeks afterward.

In fact, in the early 70's, it WAS used successfully as a tool for couples therapy.
You might want to take a look at https://github.com/trunkmaster/nextspace where someone tries to recreate the NeXT experience on top of noth GNUStep & Window Maker, both modified to provide coherent experience.
Many people close the door when they go to the toilet. Why, then, if they have nothing to hide?
Well, for one, the memory is far cheaper and faster. 56GB of memory (going from eight to 64) will set you back $1,000 alone from Apple, or $252 from Amazon (and before anyone complains "but the Apple memory will be higher quality", unlikely. Same manufacturers. In fact, you can get far faster memory yourself, versus the 2666 on some Apple stuff).
I have a five year old HP laptop. It was an Elite model, top of the line when I bought it with an i7 processor and SSD.

14 months after I bought it the hinge failed and the screen part physically detached from the base, with only the data/power wire holding them together. This also broke the screen beyond repair.

Low and behold there had been a recall issued on that model to fix the dodgy hinge. Despite me having registered my laptop with HP on day one, they never told me - and the refused to fix it now as it was out of warranty.

So I carefully detached what was left of the screen and was able to disconnect the wires with no issues. I built a box to hold the base, with holes to attach an external monitor and plug stuff in. It now functions as part family media server and computer for the children.

Also never buying HP again.
Thank you for replying to me multiple times with concise, clear, and informative comments. I really appreciate that.
From what I understand, they also removed key features (like multiplayer) for people that have already paid for the app. They will not be getting refunds for in-app purchases.
This was in future sales for the upcoming year. They had to deliver to make it happen.

You see Honeywell had written a $100mm PO to a new company without the factory to produce the product.
Completely agree. Plus, it can generate a beautiful document with your notes and highlights.
The only downside is the iOS reader. It is slow to advance pages, klunky in its operation and inaccurate when you want to highlight a passage. In comparison, the Kindle reader has a beautiful and butterly highlighting tool. The Google team should outright copy this part (unless its patented, which wouldn’t surprise me).
They aren’t trackers in that respect. Read up on the companies in question. They basically provide analytics to mobile apps so they can better understand their customers to allow them to improve the experience of the app.

It’s the equivalent of Google Analytics.

Now how those companies then use the data they collect as part of providing analytics is another question (and why lots of people prefer to block Google Analytics for example)
Good, fuck the journal aggregators. Speaking as someone who has published papers, I'd happily (and do, via ResearchGate) give them away for free. I made the noob mistake of putting them up on my own website before being shouted at by an editor for giving away the 'product' for free.

I'm all for journals, I appreciate there's a cost to keep them going but large publishing aggregators who take your work for free and have the cheek to make you jump through hoops for the privilege deserve to collapse. The paradigm is old and broken.
Serious question - What open source games do you play? I'd consider myself a "gamer" and I can't think of many recent successful games that are open source. Indie games sure, modding support sure, games without any DRM sure.

But very few are "open source".
ZH is unmitigated garbage. It began by pushing the standard tropes of goldbug interpretations of the economy with the banker bad, armchair (amateur) realist good and an unrealized schadenfreude of global economic pandemic. Now it's realized that its early readership is just a subset of the broader misinformed armchair conspiracy theorist and has expanded its message to them as well.

Just as easily as someone in software can bullshit their way through a presentation with a couple years cursory understanding of SWE topics, same goes with "researching" and writing a ZH econ article. ZH does not do meaningful economic analysis, look elsewhere.
Saying "what about that [falsely equivalent] thing over there, now read [HN meme book of the month]" isn't exactly a sound argument...
Yes, however a laptop justifies this by unlocking a whole new set of working patterns, whereas an AIO desktop is almost entirely aesthetic.

Furthermore, even though it is all-in-one in nature, a laptop's form factor is small enough that "putting it out to pasture" to live its life as a server with the screen always closed in your media center, or in a closet next to your cable modem is totally feasible.
You can substitute directx 11 support for "issues requiring X amount of employee hours" and the ratio of affected player base.
The refund process is a mess. I followed the directions on the Reddit page last night and got an email from Steam saying they’re refusing the refund because it’s been more than two weeks.

Other people on the comments have said similar things.
QE is also just swapping of assets, which is why it wasn't noticeably inflationary any of the times it was done.
That's not quite correct.

It is true that he was convicted of money laundering and drug offenses. However, during his sentencing hearing, the murder-for-hire which was never discussed or proved in court, was brought in as part of how long to lock him away.

That alone should vacate and admonish the judge for letting that scam take place.
They leave a gap in the market where a competitor could emerge.

EDIT: I know the gap is small, less than 1% but it is still a gap. If a competitor could emerge in a small gap like this is a question I cannot answer. There is potential for growth (especially if Microsoft slips up heavily which they almost did) but so far that growth hasn't happened and the future is hard to predict.
I was _so_ excited when Rocket League first came to Linux, but that was several years before Proton[1] was released.

But according to [2] the game runs really well on Linux via Proton. Personally, I don't see any problem using Proton to play the game on my Linux gaming-rig.

> If you really want privacy, you should also return your cellphone and go back to using a flip phone.

Or how about an iPhone with minimal or no 3rd party apps?

Which is practically impossible unfortunately because in order operate in the modern world you need at least a few 3rd party messenger apps, your bank's app and maybe a few more. Theoretically, however, I can have a phone free from social platforms and 3rd party analytics platforms like MixPanel or AppsFlyer, with regard to whom I have absolute zero trust.
Oh my God, 22g? As someone about to try it for the first time soon, I thought 4-5 was considered a high dose, I would have thought 4x that amount could be dangerous. (I'm not knowledgeable about drugs.)
The player base on PS4 and Switch is large enough to justify dedicated engineering support. Mac and Linux on Steam are not. Interesting enough iOS and Android might be big enough markets to put Mac and maybe Linux support back on the table, if they decide to make a mobile version of Rocket League. If Google threw a bunch of money at them for Stadia support Linux could come back also.
Unfortunately, the org as a whole has completely collapsed as the result of the GitHub acquisition. I wouldn't be surprised to see ADO be deprecated in 2-3 years in favor of GH
so far, i've found the audit logging to be pretty great!

i especially like exemptions; the ability to _not_ log for specific service accounts/identities is very handy.
I’d be normally more upset about this, but the last sentence is a biggie in this situation. Psyonix is offering full refunds for the base game (which is better than nothing, although I wish it included DLC etc) to anyone, even outside of the two week window.
I’ve thought the punishment of Ross was extremely too harsh: life in prison without the possibility of parole. I know the government paints this picture of him as a major drug smuggler, but I think we in the tech world are smarter than that and realize creating a platform is different than selling. After all, are EBay and Amazon liable for all the counterfeit things on their page? Should Bezos go to jail?

I also think the Silk Road story would be a fascinating 2-season, 20 episode series on Netflix. Read the story linked below for a great 2 hour read.

I went through a similar realization when I consumed mushrooms a few years ago. Truly beautiful understanding about how connected everything in the universe is, how we're all just a single thing. Even outside the trip, it is an objective notion, it is just that I had to go through the trip to really "know" it in my bones.

However, I now worry whether this has made me too malleable and less assertive. I often have to remind myself that there are people who would take advantage of you given a chance (the dark personality triad); the systems we live in can be very impersonal and hostile; and so we do have to lookout for ourselves and our family. Is there something you can share about this?
