I've worked with several large healthcare organizations in a consulting capacity. You would be laughed out of a room for suggesting SSN or name and birthday as the primary identifier for an individual. All used an internal patient ID.

Some had processes that would use an SSN or name and birthday as inputs to an identification procedure. These procedures would invariably include additional steps.

It's perfectly reasonable to ask someone their name and birthday. You can easily use these as search keys to be presented with a list of options. Then, you can select the appropriate record from that list. Sometimes you might need additional information to determine the correct record. If so, you ask the patient.

Each organization also had many reconciliation processes to resolve misidentified patients.

All this to say, they were explicitly not using SSN to identify patients. Sometimes they are put in situations where this is the primary identifying datum for a record, and this is an (unfortunately common) exceptional situation to be resolved.

Yea, I mean video-games are THE way of software sneaking into culture.

I mean there is also programming culture but it's constantly changing, split into a innumerable number of sometimes conflicting variants and is often more like work culture then art. But it's also art, it's complicated tbh. I mean how many opinions are based around what feels nice and/or looks nice instead of what works most reliable and well? Through then this is also where innovations sometimes starts, with libraries which do look and feel nice but do not yet work supper well.

Sure, it's 2020 and you have less boilerplate to write. It's still a little more than Julia or CL. Also, Java doesn't have anything similar in the std lib as far as I know.

More importantly, this is not as powerful as true multiple dispatch like in CLOS. There is no way to call other methods, there is no way to specialize partially (e.g. combine the variant with subtypes, and define methods only for some combinations of subtypes and super types on the parameters, and allow the implementation to choose the most specific one).

Edit: to add a few more details on my second point. CLOS (and I assume Julia too) allows you to call 'parent' implementations from a child implementation, similar to calling base type methods in virtual dispatch - you can call the next-most-specific method that would have matched the params, which you can't with the visitor. Also, say I have a generic function F(Foo, Bar). I could define methods for F(FooSubtype1, Bar) and F(Foo, BarSubtype1), and then call F(FooSubtype1() , BarSubtypeOfSubtype1() ) and have the right implementation get called (F(Foo, BarSubtype1)).
To really capture any new process, on an x86 chip at least, you'd need to implement some kind of hardware callback to the OS whenever a new Task State Segment (TSS) was created in the GDT.

Note however, that this wouldn't capture new threads that are created inside of existing tasks/processes, nor those inside of software emulated virtual machines, and the capture of those, additionally, for logging purposes, might be desirable...

But, for future hardware designers out there -- if you're going to create a new CPU, then I think a hardware callback for anytime a new task is created -- would be a great addition for your new CPU...

Perhaps such a callback could be done in microcode...

Also, this callback should work in all nested VM/protection levels, from the highest level hypervisor, down to the lowest level OS...

Anyway, just thinking aloud...
Isn't that what GPL is?

I'm not european or american so no, I don't have a preference for who gets nuked. Yet, there is a huge difference between Japan and Germany. The german army was acting like a "regular army", that surrendered when it was hopeless and did not have a religious desire to fight until the very end even if suicide is necessary. Germany civilians were also not prone to join the army in that bitter resistance until the end and weren't trained to fight with bamboo spears if necessary. Also, the conquest of germany wasn't planned to cause 1m american casualties and 5-10m japanese civilian and military casualties and didn't require a contested landing that would have dwarfed the one on DDay.

Again, it's pure non sense to advocate that those numbers would have been better than 2 nuclear bombs because... at least it was conventional? And why can't an assessment of the potential casualties be used as a justification? Because that just sounds like grandstanding that completely ignore the reality of the war in the pacific.

Not only that, but Germany was still planned to be a target if it hadn't surrendered by the time the bombs were ready. So yes, it could have happened, but only the japanese were willing go fight until the very end. They had to be shown that they would not die in a honorable resistance against the us forces, but instead will simply get nuked with no chance of fighting or retaliating.
As I said, I'm on my second FAANG. The "very rare individuals" you mention are hired L9 or above. That is, distinguished engineers+. You don't get to L9 with "a valuable technical contribution", you get there because people know who you are, you have strong network of connections within the industry, and you are in a position to make strategic decisions. It's very much not a technical position, it's borderline executive. Let's put it this way, the people with that kind of compensation, you know who they are. It's never an anonymous whizz kid who's very good at solving technical problems, it's the guy who hired them and/or knows how to direct their work.

As you said, you don't know me and I don't know you, so I don't have a reason to doubt your word. If you say you've met engineers who get that kind of compensation, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Everyone I've met or I've known to be in that level of compensation were the people I already knew were making that kind of money.

Create a fit to purpose, simpler, protocol using a good interface specification language (OpenAPI or protocol buffers). Maybe borrow concepts and patterns from the ISO standard, but not adopt it.

Every single one of those pieces of information is included in the original commit messages, which are included by incorporation.

The merge commit message is the equivalent of forwarding an email to someone and adding your comment at the top:

"Really interesting, read this!"

"Hey, look what Joe said..."

Or the ever-popular message in CEO-speak:

Rephrasing the committer's message in the merge commit would be redundant at best, and confusing at worst.
Some curious selections there:

- None on search engines / algorithms even though it's the most widely used aspect of computing.

- None on anything mobile even though it's the dominant computing platform.
It is possible for the Ice to partially melt and the coin to not sink, the ice would need to COMPLETELY melt before this test would work, given the nature of ice it is possible for food to raise to an unsafe temperature while the ice is still melting

I've spent many years living in the UK, to put it politely British food is rather fulfilling but it is nothing to write home about. Fun fact, British will happily tell you that they are eating out for X dinner tonight, and X can be Arabic, Chinese, Indian, etc but never British :-)

I kind of like British fish and chips, the staple food for British people. But then once I've tasted Spanish fish and chips in Costa del Sol, I have just realised that I've not tasted a real fish & chips!

But the main reason I am looking forward for breakfast in any British eatery or any of their Bed & Breakfast apart from their wonderful Earl Grey tea, it will be their delicious marmalade. If I've remembered correctly, I have fallen in love in the very first bite!

The Bill of Rights is meant to be a declaration of immutable rights of human beings. It always strikes me as odd that people view these as permissions given from some higher authority that can be changed. The reason they are so viciously argued for is because it is the only thing we can point to that enshrines the idea that we have individual rights that cannot be legislated away.
The problem is the support matrix which is crazy in this area. I think ServiceNow did pretty well without having too many adapters (of course now they have quite a few - https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/orlando-it-operations-man...). So if the product is easy to use, reasonably priced, and has the ability to schedule data imports, why not?
Unless the answer to "What would you say y'all do here?" is constantly changing I don't see why the TOS should be changing. To use Patreon as an example, while the details of how their systems are built and the business is promoted is likely in a continual state of flux, what they do is somewhat fixed so the terms by which someone interacts with the business should be somewhat fixed as well. Unless you're making a big change to features or the nature of how users are to relate to your business (eg: when Slack pivoted from being a video game company to a group chat company) I think making TOS changes (even if it's what everyone else is doing) speaks to instability, leads to a lack of trust, and generally gives the impression that the company doesn't know what it wants to be when it grows up.

> US intentionally killed thousands of civilians to demonstrate military prowess and intimidate the opposition.

One particular nuance you are passing over is that the US (and all other major combatants in the war) had already been engaged in the killing of thousands of civilians through total war and "conventional" carpet bombing. Nagasaki and Hiroshima were unique in that they were leveled from a single, nuclear bomb, but they absolutely were not unique in that they were leveled. Dozens of other Japanese cities experience the same level of destruction (literally 90+% of all structures destroyed) using firebombing (as in Napalm, used intentionally as most Japanese structures at the time were wooden) as the US pushed towards the Japanese mainland. And the US wasn't alone: the bombing of entire cities was a feature of the the Western German front and the German-Russian front, by both the Allies and the Axis.

So while you aren't wrong that dropping the atom bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki were essentially the US flexing its technological muscles, I am curious as to why it is considered abhorrent to kill thousands of civilians using a single "nuclear weapon in anger", but the killing of just as many civilians using many bombs seems to be accepted as just a part of the war?
Chapter One[1] sufficed.

Mr. Foster is doing creative ontogenic work with the intention of introducing improvements to the status quo (and Huxley takes a sideswipe at "They will outbreed Us"[2]):

> "Sixteen thousand and twelve in this Centre," Mr. Foster replied without hesitation. ... "But of course they've done much better," he rattled on, "in some of the tropical Centres. Singapore has often produced over sixteen thousand five hundred; and Mombasa has actually touched the seventeen thousand mark. But then they have unfair advantages. You should see the way a negro ovary responds to pituitary! It's quite astonishing, when you're used to working with European material. Still," he added, with a laugh (but the light of combat was in his eyes and the lift of his chin was challenging), "still, we mean to beat them if we can. I'm working on a wonderful Delta-Minus ovary at this moment. Only just eighteen months old. Over twelve thousand seven hundred children already, either decanted or in embryo. And still going strong. We'll beat them yet."

and there is other creative work to be done, are other changes to introduce:

> Pilkington, at Mombasa, had produced individuals who were sexually mature at four and full-grown at six and a half. A scientific triumph. But socially useless. Six-year-old men and women were too stupid to do even Epsilon work. And the process was an all-or-nothing one; either you failed to modify at all, or else you modified the whole way. They were still trying to find the ideal compromise between adults of twenty and adults of six. So far without success. Mr. Foster sighed and shook his head.

No problem with utilitarianism, even if they move a different lever for utility than we do (or do they? compare https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24097162 ):

> "And that," put in the Director sententiously, "that is the secret of happiness and virtue–liking what you've got to do. All conditioning aims at that: making people like their unescapable social destiny."

(As Huxley wrote 30 years before the Cleese + Ronnies sketch[3] his idea of social destiny may have been a bit more predetermined than our twenty-first century bien-pensant ideas on the subject.)

Those arguments do not seem convincing at all.

I think the idea is to dominate the market and become the primary player, if not the player, in the driverless economy. The problem is, many players are angling for this - Google, Apple, Amazon, Tesla. If you are not efficient and frugal enough, you won't even make it. Also, those other companies have actual viable sources of income, while Uber is at the mercy of VCs.

That's exactly what I mean about UB in C. I mean I agree with you If you don't know exactly what your compiler will do with the UB, (or if you ever might want to use a different compiler and or comp options) you probably want to avoid writing any UB. But it's not magic, and it can't time travel. That segment makes explicit that UB doesn't need to create a sequence point around UB. This is important because if it did need to do that (to protect the non-UB code) the compiler would need to keep a list of all UB. I'm pretty sure that if you're going to create a list of all undefined behavior, you might as well just define it. It's not magic, it's just allowing the compiler to YOLO it, using optimizations it already knows how to do.

I have a really cool example of how/why this is actually a good thing for compilers if you're interested.
> People were trending less formal almost everywhere in the workplace, except NYC, SF and LA (or in high touch industries like real estate or law).

Sorry if this comes across as nitpicking but I'm curious what makes you think SF remains formal outside of high touch industries? AFAIK tech is the biggest industry in SF and formal clothes are far from expected there, you would not look out of place in a hoodie and shorts in an SF tech office (or even in some reasonably nice restaurants). In most tech offices you'd look like a bit of a weirdo dressed any more formal than business casual.
Would Uber be willing to pay a premium initial deposit to the collective fund on the name of all their gig workers they had since the beginning.

As someone with no direct experience, but some serious research, a company in China does not get to where ByteDance has gotten without playing ball with the Chinese government. This should be clear, as we in the US cannot buy, sell, hire, fire, and so on without some attention paid to the government's guidelines and taxes paid on what we make.

It isn't exactly the same, but try running a company outside the purview of the government in the US and see how far that goes. Probably not more than a payroll tax cycle before you start to run afoul of someone.

There is a lot of patriotism in China, and the government is Communist. Chinese citizens don't split the baby on that.

The lesson here for anyone surprised by this is that EVERY company in China would do the same, or they won't last long. Does that change how you interact with Chinese entities?
