I was in medical school and residency at UCLA Hospital in the 1970s when his invention, also called Intravenous Hyperalimentation, took hold and revolutionized the treatment of postoperative patients.

Somehow his work flew under the radar, perhaps because he never patented it but let anyone use it in his quest to better the treatment of all patients around the world.

He never even won a Lasker Award: IMHO, he deserved the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. A great, great man. R.I.P.
As a counterpoint, I’d like to state that being able to raise efficiency when you need it could be a huge selling point.

On slow days, I don’t want to raise my efficiency that much , I take my time and review more thorougly. But on busy days, where I bill 13+ billable hours for a week, I’d want as much efficiency as possible.
I really love the Etrian Odyssey games, and I think it's interesting to read the
director's thought process in terms of design. Never before had I played a 3D
Dungeon Crawler (Wizardry type) game. It was a strange experience at first, and
an especially frustrating one. This game is extremely unforgiving, trying to
push that last bit of your party's health to explore as much as possible. And
then you make a fatal mistake, get too greedy, or maybe a bit unlucky, and lose
all your progress since you last entered the dungeon. Later iterations of the
game seem to be less difficult, though still challenging. Since playing Etrian
Odyssey, I've started playing other games like the old Wizardry games and Legend
of Grimrock.

Reading this is very inspiring. I'm also into game development and want to
create an (online) RPG for "tired veteran MMO players". I belong to the
generation of highschoolers that spent their free time playing MMORPGs like
Final Fantasy XI, World of Warcraft, and Guild Wars, when they just came out. I
had so much free time back then, and the energy to stay up until 3AM on a school
night just to get that special item. Fast forward 15 years, I still love the
feeling of "progress" in games, but I just don't have to time to spend. The
extra time that I do have I try to spend on other things that are important to
me. I'd love a game which would give me the feeling of progress (especially the
feeling of Final Fantasy XI), but doesn't require me to go back to my highschool
past.

Everything was thought out, from the core mechanics of the game to how the
player should feel and use their imagination. I honestly think Kazuya Niinou did
a great job. Reading this diary really inspired me to continue my game
development journey. I can spend time doing what I love, work to achieve my
goal, and also improve my programming skill / knowledge.

When I talked to our marketing team, I told them I wanted to emphasize that Etrian is "the renewal of the 3D dungeon RPG." What I mean by that is that I hope the genre will thrive again, not just attract the same Wizardry fans.

I think you achieved your goal, thanks you!

Yes, "courriel" is the common and official [1] word in Québec. Portmanteau of courrier (mail) + électronique.

> If Microsoft had given us a clean C++ API for Windows, the world of programming would be very different today.

I mean, Win32 was a relatively clean C library. Not beautiful by any means, but it worked and was well documented. At the time it was huge, but it's pretty irrelevant today. If they did it in C++ instead of C, how could it have been different.
From Patrick Collison : "While long hours can't be a goal, I worry that it's easy to mislead. As a descriptive matter, creating Stripe required obsessive intensity. Maybe better founders could have worked "smarter", but I do know that long hours were needed for us to build something great."

From what I understand the number of open websocket connections is not really much of an issue, because this is one of the things Phoenix/Elixir excel at.

Memory might become an issue though, I suppose. Every user's state will be in-memory in 'their' LiveView process.

On the other hand, there's much less state needed than with a client-side solution like React, because it can be very quickly fetched when needed.
I feel like there are two separate things going on here.

You can have an extremely reliable piece of software running say, an industrial lathe or a stamper or book printer or whatever - software which can run 24/7 for years if not decades, software which will never leak memory, enter some unknown state or put anyone in harms way - and yet have zero "security", because if you plug in a usb keyboard you can just change whatever and break it entirely. Software which has no user authentication of any kind, because if you are on the factory floor that means you already have access anyway because the authorization step happens elsewhere(at employee gates etc).

It's like people making fun out of old ATMs still running Windows XP, because it's "not secure". If the machine isn't connected to the internet, reliability is far more important - who cares windows XP is not "secure" if the ATM can run constantly for years and reliably dispense money as instructed and there isn't a remote way to exploit it.

I feel like that first kind of software(the reliable kind) is far rarer today - people just throw together a few python packages and rely on them being stable, without any kind of deeper understanding of how the system actually works, and they call themselves software engineers. The "security" part usually also comes as a side effect of using libraries or tools which are just built with "security" in mind, but without deeper understanding what having truly secure software entails.
One thing included in JDK 14 that will help alleviate this problem for certain types of applications (e.g. desktop apps) is the jlink/jpackage tools that make it much easier to ship an application with a bundled JDK that installs and behaves like a regular native application. If you bundle the JVM with your shipping app, you can always update to the latest JDK version.
With interest rates that have been divided by 4-5x in the last 15 years, small deposits and monthly rents aren't that rare anymore.

I'm not sure how it affects the poorest families, I imagine that you can stay in a decrepit "villa" on jeonse alone for many years. More often than not, real-estate loses value and it might not be in the landlord's interest to kick you out.

But in recent years there are definitely a lot of lower-income families that bought property and got out of jeonse, since it makes no sense anymore.
I've seen this in my own business. They can't turn this process off even for a trivial purchase. If you let them they will drag you into the enterprise sales process whether it makes sense for you or not.

This is why there is a dearth of software in the middle of the market. You can sell something for less than $1000 because customers can expense it. After that the sales process forces up costs so much that you get "contact us for prices" and the hard sell.

DST is a very sensitive topic, so better use a throwaway ;) Here are examples what would happen if DST were abolished:

If DST ('+1') is adopted permanently, the main effects will be during winter in that sunrise is now an hour later (bad) and sunset as well (which is ok). An example for Berlin, in December: if sunrise used to be at 8:00 (8 a.m.) normal time it is now an hour later at 9:00 (a.m.) (spend some time further north and you will know how much this would suck). Sunset that used to be around 16:15 (4:15 p.m.) is now at 17:15 o'clock (5:15 p.m.) (good/ok).

If normal time ('+0') is adopted, the interesting effects are during summer: sunrise is now an hour earlier than it used to be with DST and the same of course with sunset.

Example for Berlin, in July again: sunrise that used to be at 5:00 o'clock (a.m.) in DST is now at 4:00 (a.m.) (bad), sunset that used to be at 21:30 o'clock (9:30 p.m.) is now at 20:30 o'clock (8:30 p.m.) (bad if you like spending long summer evenings outside).

From my experience most people do not actually hate either, they just do not like the sudden transition. Shifting the daily routing to later hours, especially the sleeping time, is not that bad in autumn.
Changing it forward in the spring is harder but not really a problem if you gradually change your sleeping and meal times in advance. I'm currently at it by going to bed a bit earlier, getting up earlier and (trying to) change eating times. Lunch is a bit problematic but breakfast and dinner do not affect others so much, so it's easier to shift them.
The one thing that has stopped me using AWS or Azure is that I can't top-up my account and know that it would use more than the available funds. It might not make business sense but I will never sign up for something so open ended as AWS.
Nonsense. This is the polar opposite of what anyone in personalfinance subreddits will recommend.
That makes sense! How do you justify the buying of an API financially? Do you compare total cost of ownership of an outsourced solution with the cost of building and maintaining it?

Does control/risk factor into your decisions? I mean when working with an external provider there's always the risk that the API will go down and disrupt your service. Do you have any criteria to evaluate the trustworthiness of a provider?
By fixing everything that goes wrong noticeably and by having no idea that many features are currently actually not working as they are supposed to?

To actually create reliable software currently the best bet is to have automated tests for as many things as possible and exploratory manual testing around any feature that changes.
> It's unethical and classist to pick-and-choose who gets life-saving cancer treatment based on their income.

Since we're talking ethics, do you also think universal healthcare should be provided by wealthy nations to all the world? Otherwise we are just picking and choosing based on where someone happens to be born, aren't we?
You can come out of a failed startup with something still, if you consider yourself to be the product. So perhaps people should constantly ask themselves if what they are doing every moment improves them in some way or not first? Perhaps if you don't feel that way doing entrepreneureal stuff perhaps you are not suited for it.
I don't think that there is a software that can do this. We are talking about humans and its probably "human factors" that lead to 50% DropOff.

> I can't find any official advice on whether chasing birds is considered healthy or harmful to either the child or the birds.

Empathy is a very important skill for children to learn; it's not at all natural. Getting them into the habit of thinking about the feelings of animals is part of the habit of getting them into the habit of thinking about the feelings of other humans as well. Conditioning them to enjoy the distress of animals, by contrast, seems like it would prime them to enjoy the distress of other humans as well.

As far as animals: I think it's harmful for wild animals to be too familiar with humans. If I'm in a park and am approached by any animals begging, I always chase them away -- not for fun, and not even for my own pleasure (since I actually like animals), but for their own benefit.

So ironically, I'd say: Chasing birds is probably good (overall) for the birds, but bad (overall) for the children, unless it's done with the right attitude.
If there's anything to learn from reports like this, it would be that people should be allowed to live on more flexible schedules. Not just around DST changes, but in general. The obsession modern society has with clocks, schedules and calendars bothers me anyway, it assumes every person is equally capable of adapting to what is considered a 'normal' (ie: majority) schedule, which is provably false. But no report will ever investigate e.g. how many traffic accidents would be prevented by not forcing everyone to do the school run at the exact same time and be in the office before 9:00.

Restricting the topic to just DST changes: considering modern society sadly is obsessed with clocks, DST is IMO the best way to maximize how much of the waking hours of people are during sunlight. DST itself isn't the problem, the problem is that apparently people don't get enough time to adjust. So why not introduce a national holiday twice a year, call it 'DST day', so everyone gets an extra day to adjust. I guess that would go a long way to alleviate the negative effects. Obviously then all of a sudden it's not about fatal traffic accidents anymore, but about economic effects and money... :-(

Reddit is a weird mix of mechanical-turk-search-engine and social media lite. It doesn't do anything except facilitate people doing things...

To be clear, I'm not criticising reddit. I'm just saying, reddit isn't doing this, reddit is a tool for people to do this.
Seconded. You get generally quite well-informed discussion on /r/UKPersonalFinance, no pushing products or shallow reviews which is what you get if you try to Google same type of content.

Also the discussion is two way, so you get to ask questions without paying hundreds to an IFA. In some instances you probably should speak to an IFA (or an accountant) for a holistic overview of your particular situation, but redditers are quite quick to point that out too.

Bezos founded Amazon in a different era. It predates even Google. In fact, by the time Google was founded, Amazon has already IPOd. Back then the tech VC system was highly different. Bezos had to explain to early investors what the internet was. If you found a company now, you will be exposed to much different conditions.

Material design seems very over-engineered.

I guess it's nice that you can potentially customise everything, but working out what place in the class hierarchy you need to adjust takes a while.

Material design is bad, stop using it altogether.
Not an expert in the matter, but: In my simple mental model of how memory management works under the hood (fixed-size memory pages, and a virtual- to physical-address indirection through a page table), only "clean" pages could be returned to the OS which don't have any allocations left in them. So fragmentation might prevent a 'mostly clean' page from being returned to the OS because there's a single tiny allocation left which pins it into the process' address space.

However: Most (all?) general memory allocators have small-allocation buckets for minimizing this effect, which basically groups allocations of specific sizes into different memory pages.

Despite that, virtual address space fragmentation in 32-bit applications is definitely a thing. Memory might still become fragmented over time so that "big" allocations (bigger than a memory page) are failing because there's no big-enough gap left in the processes virtual address space, despite having enough free physical memory available for mapping.

This usually isn't a problem in 64-bit processes, because there's always enough room at the "front" (new memory allocations would basically move like a tidal wave through the 64-bit address space, leaving a mess of fragmented address space behind).

The best way to prevent memory fragmentation of course is to minimize allocation frequency in long-running applications (ideally only allocate memory when the program starts up).
Ethics of some cancer treatments are dubious. (lifespan but not health) Depends on the cancer though.

Others are indeed effective - hormone blockers for certain reproductive system cancers, specific treatments for leukemia, surgeries where applicable and screening, toxic chemotherapy for cancers where it is effective or after surgery.

Advanced biologicals are often expensive because they can be and are not very effective there.
But there are some that are effective for autoimmune problems, those are problematic for our general healthcare in Poland with long conservative treatments with side effects while you're waiting to be qualified.
Don't let work dominate your life. Work is important, but it should not be a grind, or you will end up with serious mental health issues.

I have some observations to contribute (context: I am a solo founder of a bootstrapped business):

* Much of the "news" you read will be stacked against you, because it is in the interest of VCs and employers to see you work your butt off for years, with the mythical carrot of a major payout hanging in front of you. Your mental health is not a consideration.

* You can make good progress working reasonably. In fact, I'd wager that you can often make better progress, because the quality of your work is better than when you are tired.

* Being a solo bootstrapped business founder is not necessarily a panacea, the anxiety and pressure are still there. You have to learn how to deal with them (I'm still learning, but making good progress).

* Consider your goals. Does it really need to be a multi-million payout, or is a healthy income for you and your family enough? Do you really need huge growth, or are you OK with modest growth once you reach a comfortable level? Your goals might not align with those of others, and there is no such thing as "obvious" goals. I believe that a lot of problems in today's world are created by the pressure for constant growth (at all levels, both startups and companies like Apple).
You wouldn't need public transit!
Thanks, that means a lot! Unlike other offerings the focus is really on the development experience, hence the focus on ease-of-use and simplicity as you say. The goal is to provide a best-in-class developer experience; the serverless part is really just a piece of that, if that makes sense?
So what's the alternative. I juggle many different video conferencing tools, and most of them require me to install their app, are closed source, and/or only run in Chrome. The closest I've found is Whereby, but that has a limit of 4 people and is closed source, I think.

>Ms Stembel could be far out on the bell curve in terms of her need for sleep. People who are perfectly healthy on four hours sleep a night for decades exist.

Out of curiosity I dug up this article about Ms Stembel and in it she talks about her sleeping habits:

"When I do sleep more, I’m like, “Oh, that feels good. I should do that more often.” But I definitely believe in the power of habit. I’ve kind of honed the habit of not sleeping much, so my body can respond accordingly. It’s very normal for me now, but it’s not ideal. I probably sleep about 4.5 hours a night during the week, and then I try to get one weekend night where I can sleep seven or eight hours."

Even she herself acknowledges that this is not ideal and tries to create opportunities to sleep for the normal 8 hours. The problem with sleep deprivation is that it accumulates damage in the body which becomes apparent only later in life, so by sleeping this little she might be creating problems for herself in the future without even realizing it now. According to sleep researcher Matthew Walker, people whose bodies require less than 6 hours of sleep do exist, but they are extremely rare. It might be that Ms Stembel is one of those people, but I would still place my bet on that she is chronically and seriously sleep deprived.
