Apparently English is more or less unique in this respect - are there any language experts that can shed some light on this? (shed - why can light be shed? I guess showed/shed? EDIT of course shed as in shed skin, to give off - maybe?)
UDP on AT&T and other carriers is just fine, but you need to do NAT hole punching or proxy the UDP packets. See my comment to the grandparent.
If you're willing to give up some control over presentation, you can offer an rss feed and users can subscribe to it with their app of choice. It's pull rather than push, but it also saved you the trouble of maintaining an app.
I have certainly been compelled to use both, Facebook for vital student groups during my time in university (it's also in many developing countries the only digital place to run a business), and Google for similar reasons, including a work account. There's DDG now for search I suppose but Google used to be the only player in town.

Technically if I had to avoid Google I couldn't use Uber because it depends on Google maps, I couldn't use websites using Google cloud, etc..

In terms of function they certainly compel people to use them because they've been so integrated into infrastructure. You cannot avoid them.

The advantage (or potential problem as you see it) is typeclasses encourage thinking about the meaning and behavior of what you are doing.

For simple cases, the end result of no typeclasses can be compelling sometimes.

For larger cases, taking away that useful tool to wrangle inherent complexity usually results in more complexity taking the form of gobs more simple code that obsfucates the task at hand.

> No, adding unsafe Rust does not undermine the safety argument

But it does, see my answer in the thread below regarding ring buffers - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24337184

> Is this not also true of ATS? That is, if ATS code calls a C function that returns a pointer, how do you know how long that pointer is valid for and whether you're expected to free it?

the C implementation needs to be known, then the signature (interface) of the extern-annotated C function would define a pointer that will be associated with a proof object. Every ATS program that compiles must consume all instantiated proofs (with a proper proof-consuming function), and the proof itself can indicate whether a pointer is stored/taken care of inside the C function or it should be taken care of outside the function (the latter is indicated by a prefixed "!" to the pointer type). An example could be found here - https://bluishcoder.co.nz/2012/08/30/safer-handling-of-c-mem...
Yes. One of the sticking points to 'build that wall' is the land they want to build the wall is owned by private citizens. Oil & Gas, transportation, etc have all used it to get the land.
A lot of the current situation came about because of the Hi-Tech act. This was piles of "free" government money for healthcare facilities to use software that met voluminous requirements that are ultimately vetted by off-shore contractors hired by "beltway bandit" type organizations far removed from medicine, patients, etc. The vetting costs in the neighborhood of $100k. This creates a powerful incentive for people making software to make software that is the easiest to push through the gauntlet of vetting. It also immediately ended meaningful innovation because once you have something approved you are not going to rock the boat trying new things the require another approval cycle.
I have seen ML and big data crowd out remote openings though.

The sitting around can be boring but there’s little that’s more fun than turning off the autopilot and hand flying an Expressway Visual 31 at La Guardia in gusty winds with traffic departing runway 4.

Do it at a workstation in a desk chair with none of the “stress” of the situation and I’m going to find another career. The combination of skills needed and the threat of life and limb just make stuff like that exciting in a visceral way that would never be possible with an RC plane.

As to your argument, yes the load would have to be balanced across flights at various stages. You’d be surprised how many planes are all in a very similar boat though when they’re all converging on a hub in SE USA and a summer thunderstorm comes booming through. Spend an evening watching MEM on FlightAware and LiveATC as FedEx does their thing. What seems like the whole fleet comes marching in through a very narrow window of time.
It’s really common for decisions to be made for more than one reason, even if some of those reasons are just advantages brought up during the planning discussions. I can easily see the defense motives as being one of the many factors involved in the freeway development.
Fewer than 1% of the apps in the store will have any effect whatsoever on Apple's hardware sales. Easily 99% of apps are long tail products that don't influence prior decision-making.

AS for margins, once you factor in Apple's high spending on R&D and engineering, their margins are fairly normal. Apple are financially successful because they sell high quantities and don't chase the extreme bottom of any market. Notice for example how they don't (currently) offer any mainstream external displays.
ESL/EFL teacher here. Yes. A Spanish engineer who was my student recently thinks the moon landing was faked. A Puerto Rican accountant thinks the CIA has weather-controlling satellites and steers hurricanes to PR. Many Europeans think 9/11 was done by Bush. Many, many Arabs that I've taught say the holocaust never happened, and that Jews are responsible for a hundred unrelated things.
To be fair to Epic engineers, I don't think many of them want the system to be that way either--they may not be super-experienced, but that shit's more a product of ossification from decades of refusing to change much of anything (the company seriously considered forking VB6 to avoid going to .NET).

Individuals don't have much power to change an organizational culture riddled with NIH syndrome (the goddamn ticketing system, timekeeping system, and at some point in the dark past, the email system used internally were ALL written on top of the core EMR codebase) and cargo cult development (the people that /do/ stick around have a healthy share of people that couldn't easily get hired elsewhere on their merits, but do thrive in an environment where accumulating and regurgitating questionable tribal knowledge is crucial).

The system is a testament to the inertia of enterprise software: you can muddle along with a product end users hate while making a damn good profit because the system does deliver on its promises to its actual customers, the hospital admins that are primarily charged with reducing costs and increasing revenue.

The US medical system is so flush with cash and has such high barriers to entry that it doesn't really matter if software isn't great in some (important, but not important in a way that matters to decision makers) ways. The money keeps flowing, and continues concentrating power in the hands of major players. Something like the HITECH act /was/ needed, but lol if you think the people that bought a seat at the table to design it (but totally didn't--that would be corruption, and we don't have that in America!) didn't have a vested interest in pushing certain provisions. Save money by putting an EMR in place sooner, and accelerating vendor lock-in with the existing players? Sure, why not, everyone (for certain values of everyone) wins!

Immutability is an interesting property, but reality is messy. Depending on the use case you envision for the database, data that needs to be scrubbed will accidentally be added to the system. This could be an important private key, or something legally dubious. In an append only/sync system there isn't really a good way to scrub that data. (Replay the entire history, filter bad data, then delete all remotes and resync from clean copy is not good). Again depends entirely on the use case of the database you envision, but if you wish to make it general purpose it is something to consider.
> I don’t think most UUID libraries use good randomness, and the UUID RFC standard actively argues against using UUIDs as anything which has to be kept secret.

Windows core system libraries, and by extension .NET, SQL Server, etc. have used the system CSPRNG for type 4 UUID generation since at least as far back as Y2K.

If you don’t use a CSPRNG for type 4 UUIDs you get collisions from the small seed size of insecure PRNGs, which are traditionally seeded from the system clock. The number of UUIDs required to observe collisions was surprisingly low thanks to the birthday paradox.

These collisions were common enough back in SQL Server v7 that, as I recall, they changed the UUID generation mechanism NEWID() to use a CSPRNG in a service pack.

What Apple needs is to invest in reviewers that are also good developers who can then spend half their time reviewing apps and the other half developing tools and processes for improving the review process.
I just want a database that takes no configuration options except for a list of peers and a disk partition to write to and provides strictly serializable transactions 100% of the time (modulo partitions).

I'd rather start with slow and correct, and implement hacks to improve performance once slow becomes "too slow". But instead, database engines are sold on benchmark performance, so out of the box they lose transactions they told you they committed, or read uncommitted writes, or all sorts of other crazy things. I don't want this unless I write code myself to do those things. (If I go through the API, it must be completely consistent. If I clone the drive of the database server and pick around at random disk blocks, sure, maybe I'll see some uncommitted writes.)
This is so important. I'm an intermediate coder and hit a wall on something today. I was fortunate to have a great Slack group to ask, and even though the answers weren't exactly the right solution, just exposure to the terminology used when talking about the problem let me refine my searches and find the answer very quickly.
Sure, and a cellphone drains its battery in about 20 hours.
1. how many side projects have you had? was this the only successful exit?

It sounds like gopher, which is actually still in use to some degree. A little harder to find your way around though, since you don't have the Googles and the Yahoos and the Bings paying attention to it. But there is a lot of info that you won't find anywhere else. One of the few remnants of the 90's Internet that is still around, even if at a smaller scale.
I agree that anyone who has lived or learned through great conflicts (world wars, bloody civil wars, great leap forward, etc) will have a hard time to compare this pandemic to any of that and yet, the reaction I see in many (too many) acquaintances is that of trauma. It's very odd because none of them have be directly impacted by covid yet but they are pretty sure it will happen and when it happen it will be nasty. So yes... In a very (millennial?) way, many people may imagine they are living through very traumatic times.

Watching Netflix at home, WFH, etc... While awaiting "certain covid" of course, its only for the privileged.

For the not so privileged the trauma can be easily compared to violent times: it's all about unemployment, domestic violence, hunger, collateral death, etc
Hmm, you could install a small fan that kicks on when the drawer is open/closed to pull air from the interior and exhaust it into an adjacent airspace, maybe through a filter if that adjacent airspace is still the room you are in.
Just change the clocks.
I 100% get what you're saying.

I guess where I differ is, I've been cooking food my entire life. Most of it sucks. I still eat it. But if you were to ask me how to make one of the foods I cook any better I really wouldn't even know where to start.

However, if I picked up one of the those books, all of a sudden I would start to understand how meat cooks, the different ways you can tweak the process, and how to achieve the best results.

From there, I would be prepared to actually start cooking well. But without reading, I would still be shooting in the dark with the same terrible dishes I've been cooking terribly for decades.
I wouldn't say lazy. Many people who've been through the grind for 40-50 years just don't have the will to do anything outside of that any more.

well, if we can assume that a placebo effect is due to a state of mind. And a state of mind can be induced using a ritual. Putting on a mask, in a ritual way, might just work better to ready the mind for battle.
Watch some old school Karate movies. There's often a ritual the hero undertakes, to steady and focus the mind, before a battle. Sometimes its a bandana on the head.
That might work too! needs to be tried.
It is important to understand that responsive web design isn't a separate technology — it is a term used to describe an approach to web design or a set of best practices, used to create a layout that can respond to the device being used to view the content.
If your dockerfile is using something like pip install commands, but doesn't pin all versions, you'll still run into stuff like this.
Could you share some general details about the friend that lost their down payment?

I’ve heard of this happening to others and have argued that the money is lost and cannot be recovered. People think it’s crazy the money is lost and cannot be recovered. From what I’ve heard it cannot be recovered.

Is your friend able to recover the funds?

How did it happen? Did the instructions for transfer get altered by someone?

Thanks.

"Digital platforms must participate in the code if the Treasurer makes a determination specifying that the code would apply to them. The Government has announced that the code would initially apply only to Facebook and Google."

This means they can't pick and choose. They are either a news platform or not. That's why FB is warning us they'd get out of the news game entirely.

Thanks, may try that again. When I tried before I had some lower back issues. This may have been the same mobility issue that gave me trouble doing squats.

What kind of connective tissues do they maintain?
Realistically? What percentage of news do you read the in-depth article, versus the headline, picture, and two-sentence-blurb that tells you the main point? And the front page of a news site, say, cnn.com, is it monetized with ads? (It is. Even with all my blockers I see a LendingTree ad right now.)

Is Google News ripping off the monetizeable property of every news site's homepage for zero cost? Yes. Sure, it may not present the full text of every article, but you've stolen the front page of every newspaper, at minimum.

It is the link-tax "all over again"... because it's still what needs to happen. (It's not really a link tax, but branding from lobbyists paid by Google's public policy team were very successful branding it as such. It's a scraper site tax.) The problem is Google is so immense, and so powerful, it is able to obliterate any one nation's attempts to do this.

We actually need a unified front of governments stating that Google and Facebook need to pay for the content they scrape, or go out of business. And it probably won't be successful until a large enough contingent of governments can do it at once. (This is why the EU as a whole has generally been successful whereas attempts at regulation from France or Spain independently have failed.)
I think we’re starting to see peak managerialism. The latest wave in stats has shown more than anything that a significant shortfall in basic statistics knowledge makes it almost impossible to make good decisions with vast amounts of data.

Without the skillsets to work with and then understand that data, they are forced into this long process of asking for data to be put into reporting and dashboards and then once they finally get them, either fixating on the limited metrics it provides while being oblivious to other context not in front of them, or to instead forced to start another long iteration to adjust that reporting and dashboards.

We’ve gone almost 30 years believing management was the sole skill required to manage teams and companies, but dealing with the new era of data is starting to show the limits

Stratechery quotes and rebuts the official sources you linked. It's hard for me to imagine a more poorly thought out legislation. [1]

It completely unfairly favor news orgs over the rest of the web, it gives publishers extensive control of user discussion about content that they own which is an affront to the principle of free speech, the terms of the forced binding arbitration are incredibly vague and, well, arbitrary.

The ACCC response is also nonsense.

> Google will not be required to charge Australians for the use of its free services such as Google Search and YouTube, unless it chooses to do so.

Google's letter didn't mention anything about charging Australians for the user of its free services at all. If you actually read the open letter [2], it doesn't even contain the words "charge" or "price" or "cost" or "fee" or imply anything about charging users.

> Google will not be required to share any additional user data with Australian news businesses unless it chooses to do so.

Google never said it had to share "additional user data", whatever that means. It is quite clear in claiming that "Under this law, Google has to tell news media businesses “how they can gain access” to data about your use of our products. There’s no way of knowing if any data handed over would be protected, or how it might be used by news media businesses." [2] which is absolutely true.

The ACCC is responding to fictitious claims. It's the ACCC response that contained misinformation, not Google's open letter.

Facebook for vital student groups during my time in university

I.e. your colleagues compelled you to use Facebook.

(it's also in many developing countries the only digital place to run a business),

I doubt very much there is any such country, but even if so, it's not a compulsion.

and Google for similar reasons, including a work account

Your workplace compelled you to use Google.

There's DDG now for search I suppose

Bing, Yahoo, Yandex, Baidu . . .

but Google used to be the only player in town.

There was never any such time.

Technically if I had to avoid Google I couldn't use Uber because it depends on Google maps

It is still your choice to use Uber or not. You could use Lyft, hail a cab, drive yourself, walk, ride a bike . . .

Google Cloud

I don't see this as you using Google, but rather you using someone who uses Google. This just isn't something you have any reasonable expectation of control over. There is nothing wrong with Google providing a service that some businesses choose to use, who you happen to also do business with.
Anything well known and widely deployed would be interesting. C++11 would be an obvious comparable, but C would be relevant considering the thread.
This is the same with lots of professions. Software developers are also like that, and this can be verified every day on this very forum.
> doctors believe that because they're good at medicine that they are good at everything

Reminds me of hackers :P
To expand on that EMRs, much like SAP and other enterprise offerings aren't so much fixed pieces of software as ridiculously flexible frameworks for making software. And the people deciding how to configure Epic, and deciding how the doctors and nurses need to use it aren't practitioners, they are administrators who are making decisions for bureaucrats reasons, CYA being high on the list. Anytime an accident occurs, rather than understanding why it occurs, the solution is always to add more administrative controls, to record more details in the chart, more busy work to do that makes each step of the process take longer.

As a result, the number of things that practitioners need to enter into EMRs keeps growing, and every year they spend more and more time charting. This in turn decreases the signal-to-noise ratio of the information in the charts, resulting in the practitioners getting less information out of them despite the fact that more information keeps getting put in. Which results in more accidents rather than less.
There's also a lot of deception going on.

The easiest way to solve many problems is through lexers, regular expressions and plain-old pattern matching. But that doesn't sell, so, they call it AI anyways.

Serious question. Not trolling.

Would it have been possible to exchange that much BTC for US dollars? Ignoring taxes for a few seconds. Would it have actually been possible to get real fiat money for the 1,400 BTC?

I’ve always heard of complete incompetence trying to get an account set up on any exchange. Getting verified, etc.
MD here too. I encourage you to stop and think about your defensive reaction to a tool you know well that's designed for exactly the purpose the client is looking for. OP, who I wager uses Epic every weekday for 5+ hours, has no idea about this tool and probably wishes existed (I'm guessing). It's probably not included in their software contract, or there are unnecessary HIPAA issues, or the IT person is not competent. Just some of the many issues.

On the radiology side, I know there are extensions and tools for PACS that the vendors can't be bothered to come explain/train, even though the company sold it to the hospital. It's like pulling teeth.
As far as I know, that a fluid ounce of water weighs an ounce at the boiling point is a complete coincidence, but it does illustrate that joining weight and volume this way is tricky business.
No, the point is that increasing the number of languages in the kernel imposes restrictions.
