Actually, the medical system has probably on net contributed to antibiotic abuse. Yes, if antibiotics were OTC, people would use them more.

However for decades, doctors have universally instructed patients that they must finish the prescribed course. Even if the symptoms abate, patients are instructed to keep taking the dosage until done.

However this maxim was never supported by evidence[1]. Careful studies show that this approach leads to worse outcomes, because the patient's more likely to develop resistance on subsequent infections. And on average it leads to people taking two to three times more antibiotics than if they followed the intuitive approach of stopping when they feel better.

And of course these figures get much worse when you consider the other components that are a necessary part of the engine working, namely, the xenon fuel tank and massive solar panel array.

For a relevant comparison, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the Merlin 1D engine by itself is something like 180:1, but the overall thrust-to-weight ratio of the entire rocket at launch is only 1.4:1. So just in order to get a rocket that can lift off at all and deliver useful payload to orbit you need at least a 3-digit thrust-to-weight ratio on the engine itself. Ion thrusters don't remotely come close.

You’re making the incorrect assumption that racists are arguing in good faith and are willing to change their minds after a well thought out intellectual, level-headed discussion. But history has shown us this almost never happens. The majority of them are basing their hatred on emotion and not rationality.

Instead, racists use their platforms to intimidate at-risk minority groups and intimidate them into silence. White supremacists are actively trying to silence those they disagree with, often with violence, not trying to have an intellectually honest and open discussion.

Counterpoint: What if she's not faking it? There's conditions like endometriosis that are horribly underdiagnosed and often dismissed as IBS; the average diagnosis takes seven years.

I don't view it as bragging either. But it's still interesting to see a list of concrete things has achieved, yet only come to the rather vague conclusion that "University where you come together to learn and research".

I think higher education is an opportunity shape a person during a crucial stage of their development as a young adult. It's a time when you get the opportunity to get exposed to many of different ideas, views and beliefs; to learn how to have a healthy debate and formulate a well-founded argument; it's a time to reflect on what you have learned thus far and what you will do with it in the near and far future. It's a time of start off discovering the world away from your parents and your guardians.

To me, that's what higher education is about. It's that phase between adolescence and becoming an independent adult in your own right.

I don't think that's something you can ever acquire by passively consuming content via the Internet. Some of the good and critical things do take time to learn and aren't really quantifiable.
We could, but we shouldn't because there's already too much superbacteria that are resistant to penicillin. Antibiotics should NEVER be handed out.
Yes, but there's a cost for that, which is something that's sort of at odds with Rust's design philosophy in other areas. Outlawing concurrent shared state means that every communication between two threads needs to be formatted as a "message" in whatever abstraction is in use. It needs to be copied, it needs to snapshot whatever data is needed to interpret it. You can't just set a flag and release the lock.

And that's... a problem. Because a lot of code that actually wants concurrency in the same memory space is code that also wants high performance. And Rust serves these applications well in other areas, where "Just as fast as C" is true.

But Rust isn't as fast as "C" here. It's demonstrably slower. Is that a good thing? I honestly don't know.

It's just a hard problem. But you can't eliminate the idea of "shared locked memory" by fiat. It's a real requirement, and Rust has little to say about it in its standard library or (IIRC, though I'd have to go check) its memory model and locking primitives. It's sort of a no-mans land of "super unsafe outside the box" code. And that's a pity.
> If it is true the cop is still serving, it should be a huge scandal.

Who cares if it’s a huge scandal? I remember reading about the “scandal” years ago. The cop is still has his job and was never charged with a crime.

The cop broke the law multiple times on video, an innocent person suffered physical and mental harm. The cop caused harm to all of society by reducing the trust between members of society. Yet he has a job, one with power over others where his word matters more than others.

Hence the protests.
Just as with YouTube, or Facebook, or just anywhere else whenever there's a big player involved: things get resolved if you have enough clout and you make a big enough of a stink-up.

I'd sincerely hope for a genuine change of heart at Apple and that Hey's resolution was just not the exception to the rule, but I seriously doubt so.
Yes. For online learning, distraction that is easy to reach is a problem.

We can further generalize it to remote working, which surprisingly drew a same parallelism as you described for school/workplace.

> I think there are a lot of intangible or hard to pinpoint aspects of a University education that won’t be replaced any time soon by pure online courses.

I had mixed view on this. I think this is about the matter of authenticity, that whatever you read, taught and trained in school should be reliable, consistent & correct (doesn't mean it is the most up to date, however). It also served as a (referential) benchmark of your most of your skills.

However, at the end of the day this is a matter of the ebb and flow of information -- You see that there are some people that can succeed with limited public information on LeetCode, Codeforces etc., they are truly successful and competitive, but most people also get preference for the background of their school, e.g. CMU, MIT, that they are offered more confidential information (like what type of algorithm question would Microsoft/Google present to you?), more trainings (better understanding/explanation of materials), more networks (alumni), etc. to begin with.

If all of these information and assets are open to public and easily accessible, universities, or perhaps every centralized education facilities will truly met its demise -- their business advantages and potentials are almost totally zero.

When Deno initially mentioned they run Typescript directly I was intrigued. It’s like running GCC every time you want to invoke the script.

That being said I run ts-node all the time with transpile-only and that is decently fast. Even on production where the minimal cost is incurred once when loading the module.

As for their problems mentioned on the document. That Header class has a .d.ts conflict on an interface. That could be solved with having namespaces in .d.ts or having I prefix for class interfaces. We do this all the time in our codebase.

I’m not entirely sure why they have two copies of things. The doc doesn’t give much detail.

If you want things to be fast like nodejs, then the other option is to use //@ts-check comments on JS files, or with compiler allowJS and checkJS settings. Webpack checks all their JS.

TSC now also has an option to automatically generate .d.ts from JS files with jsdoc comments. With declarationOnly compiler flag. Many existing JS projects already do that.

So TLDR is. You don’t have to ditch Typescript totally. Typescript can purely just be a checker that you run at CI time and it will work quite well with existing JS code. Although if you want super strict safety the .ts syntax is less verbose and nicer to write. Even then transpile only mode is much faster than running full tsc.

Remember: TS is a superset of JS. All JS is valid typescript. Sometimes we gotta structure the JS properly and that’s where the issue is rather than the typesystem.
Hell, you can find x86 instructions and concepts dating to the 8080 from 1974, and probably to the 8008 from 1972 (although I'm not familiar enough with it to confirm).

Not at all - in fact, the problem described in the article is a typical pitfall of the causal ordering system.

In a simplified version:

A -1-> B
B -2-> C
A ---3------> C

The human expectation is that 2 happens "before" 3, because that's how it looks. The reality is that 1 happens before 3, and 1 happens before 2, but 2 and 3 have no causal relation - and the runtime is free to rearrange them in any order.

That's why the solution is essentially

A -1-> B
B -2-> C
B -3-> C

Because then 2 really happens before 3.
Or, more accurately, Universities don't make much sense for most applicants in 2020. For those that are willing to put in the time and effort building & researching things, it still sounds like a great experience. However, for those that are are simply seeking a piece of paper while doing the absolute minimum to graduate, yes, it's probably not for them.
Well these centralised resources are books. There are high quality (almost standard) books for most subjects. Want to learn Analysis at a Graduate level? Pick one of the popular books Rudin (for example) and work through it. Same goes for Quantum Field Theory (Peskin & Schroeder, Zee, Srednicki,...) and tons of other subjects.

The lectures are often only a guided tour through one of those books (at least at the undergraduate and early graduate level). In many ways lectures are still la huge advantage of course because most of these books are too long to be useful (I still have some guilt when I think about how little I absorbed of the 500+ pages experimental condensed matter book we used). Often the exercises then cover things that were not explicitly explained in the lecture but can be worked out with the help of the book.

I think there is a rather big divide between people like me who thinks the web should be "content-only" and people who see it as an application platform.

Most of what I do on the web resolves around reading things, not interacting in any meaningful way. Most of the web tries it's best to ruin that experience. Most of what I do online would be better served by gopher. I understand I am a part of a minuscule minority, but that doesn't stop me from whining.
I think the issue is so many jobs require a college degree for no other purpose than further general education skills. I am of the opinion that public schooling needs to be extended to include these skills and then we still need higher education where the exact experiences you described are the main point.

Far too many people go through college for no other reason than to get some degree, doesn’t even matter what degree. And it’s no surprise, as it’s much harder to find a decent job without any old college degree.

You have to understand how Stack Overflow came to be. It grew out of the frustration with forums (phpBB, etc.): they were filled with chitchat, back and forth and the solution was hidden somewhere in page 5 of 8. You were coming from Google and didn't care about who posted the stuff, their avatar, their signature etc, you wanted a solution to an immediate problem.

Hence the Q&A format was born with upvoting the best answer to the top and deemphasizing the back-and-forth into comments. It got popular exactly because it cut through all the niceties and fluff and allowed you to get to the point quick. Some people don't share the preference for this, they would like a social community site instead of the above description. Instead of building their own site with that in mind, they want to bend SO away from its original goal.

Predictably, the original people will probably move to a new site. It's a cycle: power users create a place, it gets popular because it's high quality, then it gets run over by lazy people and rules get adjusted to be welcoming and inclusive, the original people are pushed out, the quality decreases. When the originals create a new site, they will now try to be even less inclusive than the first time to avoid the same "eternal September" effect.

"...where they live on their own and develop into an independent adult with a vocation and adult identity."

One can see where you are coming from since these desires are pretty normal around that age right? I think that the trade-off here, however, is two fold:

1) That lifestyle is expensive and puts many young adults into debt before they've even learned and lived financial independence.

2) It delays the inevitable hard work and time that we all must put in contributing as a net positive to the real world economy.

Add 1+2 together and the output in large numbers yields people in bondage lacking the mental fortitude to actually sustain and prosper independently as an adult over the course of their lifetime.

> The point here, however, is what University is for all people

Traditionally, that was not true and still is not true in places like Germany. A university is the place where you can get the highest education of a field, or ideally where you study a field on your own. Both requires a lot of prerequisites that not everybody fulfills. I am talking about knowledge, ability to learn although something is not flashy, and the will to endure. And it should be like that, otherwise you loose the ability to train the brightest people of a society. For everybody else, there are applied universities, dual study programs, and well established and respected vocational training
programs, here in Germany.

Replacing universities with a netflix-esque experience may seem attractive to students, but is doomed to fail to train students. The question how much teachers should adapt to the wishes to their students is as old as learning itself. In the end the students have to trust, that a teacher knows which material to cover to teach students the desired skills, facts, and abilities. For an example of that, search your trusted video-streaming platform for the film Karate Kid. ;-)

I would be curious to see some research regarding the racial composition of the police and its incidence on police brutality. Would a more diverse and/or more black police force be less, same, or more inclined to do police brutality?

At least it would solve the issue of racism. Get white cops to police white neighborhoods and black cops to police black neighborhoods. I suspect it's what's going to happen regardless of any explicit policy change.
He tweeted about this as an idea a few days ago. It’s possible this was thrown together in a few days by a junior dev.

Andrew Yang tweeted that his solution would be to make cops wear pink. This guy is a joke.
Genuine and slightly off-topic question out of curiousity: how often do you have strep, a sinus infection (that doesn't go away on its own), or some other condition that requires treatment with antibiotics?

I think I've needed a course of antibiotics perhaps twice in the past ten or fifteen years (can't remember exactly; not often anyway), and one of them was in an exceptional situation.

That leads me to somewhat doubt most (generally healthy) people would manage to get infections requiring antibiotics so often that it would lead to the large (now temporarily reduced) total number of doctor's visits that the article brings up. Or if they do, then people are getting infections that require medical treatment way more often than I imagine. (That's also possible, since I live in a northern climate that doesn't really promote infections most of the time.)

> If it is true the cop is still serving, it should be a huge scandal

One of the reasons that the protests in the US are so widespread right now is that, fundamentally, this is the issue: that cop still serving isn't a scandal at all. The police look out for their own, and internal accountability for violating procedure is an absolute farce.
It depends on how they are used.

Our local bus company (rather good) had an "important announcement" as a linked PDF on their web page that was just one paragraph that could have been in HTML. That looks unprofessional

On the other hand, people who want to post old scanned documents or documents that were born in tools like Word or Powerpoint or Publisher can do that efficiently with PDF. For instance, if you go a trade show you will find full-color printed brochures on two sides of 8.5x11 and if you want to distribute that kind of marketing collateral online PDF is a good way to do it.

My favorite use case for PDF is to store PDF documents on my tablet for use in bed, in a hammock, in the lean-to on my hill, in the passenger seat of a car, bus, etc. This is good for "e-book"(s) as well as it is for personal documents.

For years I have always made a "go folder" when I travel that has everything I need to get from home to the hotel and back. I still make one, but I also store bundles of PDF documents on my tablet to support this. It's like I can carry all the books in my house on my person, which is pretty good.
