In this case the doctor explicitly said it was to reduce costs, although the other test is preferable from a diagnosis perspective. Like I mentioned previously, if the reason the doctor gave was that the more expensive test was also less useful or had other negative consequences I didn't think of, then I'd appreciate that. To simply rule out the more expensive test based on cost seemed at ends with what I wanted - again as insurance was paying the tab.

That might be true, but then China get's to say:

Now, Taiwan is quite rich, but still, optics matter. Better to give Puerto Rico tons of reparations if you are worried about it being impoverished and dependent.
DPAs are currently understaffed, and the complaints and lawsuits are dragging, but I believe this is only temporary.

The legal framework is there, lawsuits are happening, and it scares companies built on data surveillance, and we know because some of them have moved out of EU already.

The big players are operating in a gray area that's harder to attack, but then again, they are bigger targets. Given past fines, and given GDPR's potential, I'm sure the EU wouldn't mind replenishing their budget in the future.
I'm concerned about FairShake's data. Their conclusion may be correct. Based on my experience with ISPs in the United States, I am inclined to believe them. But I just can't overlook this.

They start the article with this:

> We recently set out to discover which ISP was the most-hated in every U.S. state

...and a link to their "The Most Hated Internet Service Providers in Every US State" article[0].

I live in Iowa so I scrolled down to see what our most-hated provider would be. I was fairly confident I already knew the answer: Mediacom. Their article said Cox.

If you're a fellow Iowan, you should be scratching your head. Cox only serves three cities in Iowa[1][2]: Carter Lake, Council Bluffs, and Crescent. Only one of those cities even makes it into the top 50 Iowa cities by population (Council Bluffs at #10)[3]. If you compare the coverage map on BroadbandNow for Cox[4] with the one for Mediacom[5] or even CenturyLink[6], it isn't even close.

I've lived in many cities across Iowa and everywhere I've been people hated Mediacom. CenturyLink get the silver medal, but Mediacom is hands down the most hated ISP in Iowa thanks to their awful customer service, unreliable connections, anti-competitive practices, and high prices for what would barely pass as acceptable in other parts of the world. I didn't even know we had Cox and I doubt most other Iowans do either!

I want to believe FairShake's story because it lines up with my perceptions of ISPs in the United States, but I just can't put any faith in their data if it's that unrepresentative. How can most Iowans hate Cox if the overwhelming majority of them can't even get their service?

As a designer in a similar industry, I can confirm that I despise half my peers for their lack of competence and general ability to bullshit their way to a paycheck. The design industry has been irrevocably infested by people that speak a lot but can’t execute anything.
I wasn't equating them just merely stating that MVC, Flux, and lots of other things are part of Spring 5.x. Spring Boot technically is basically a lot of auto configuration around a large amount of spring libraries and third party components. You could replicate pretty much all of what it does by adding those dependencies manually and manually configuring them. That's pretty much how Spring used to work before Spring Boot became a thing (been there done that). It's actually not that hard if you keep it simple.
JSX has always been SGML/XML-inspired, but not SGML/XML compliant, so nothing is changing there.

And the thing is, even if it were, what a parser/compiler does to represent a language is its own completely independent thing.

At one point I had to use XML in JS (back in the day, haha). I parsed the XML and represented each node as a single object, with `__name` and `__children`. They were "one dimension" in my representation, but also literally a compliant XML parser— more compliant than JSX.
Hey maybe you or someone here can help me with this interesting problem I have. You see I wanted to put an Intel Optane SSD into an external enclosure to benchmark the absolute fastest Windows and Linux install and compare it to install times on other media(yeah I know i'm weird).

So I bought one of these SSDs off of ebay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Optane-Memory-M10-SSD-M-2-228...

And put it in this enclosure:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MKCG5ZG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b...

Instead of being recognized, one of the chips on the Optane ssd started to get very hot. Was wondering if anyone knowledgeable in Optane could explain where I went wrong here? Is it even possible to put Optane in an external enclosure and write to it like an SSD/external drive?

I am excited about Optane because it just seems like such an exotic technology given the interesting performance gains you get in terms of small file throughput.

Storing Food: The Granaries of Acorn Woodpeckers
I ditched intellij ultimate in favour of vscode.

I personally saw no value in intellij compared to what vscode offers.

VScode has won both the intellij Vs eclipse AND vi Vs Emacs holy wars for me. Nothing else matters anymore (unless you need to SSH directly into a box and make edits there of course, for which we have vi) - it really is an amazing editor in my view.

I can't see the need for an IDE like intellij at all when you have an "editor" as capable as vscode.
Just for fun of course, but how about changing the low level data in the inode structure and having it point to a data block that is 300M lines past the start? Can this be done with debugfs, I wonder?
Yup agreed this book has that effect on some people. You can see it happening on Goodreads. I personally think its due to cognitive dissonance. He is a whistle blower like Assange.
OK, but this article is about Visual Studio Code, which is a different product.
i take it your an Ed guy.
At the moment, there is no canonically useful model of the mind that is established in the consensus of those who study it. You are writing this as though psychoanalysis has been replaced by some better theory that explains more of the phenomena that it addresses, but no such theory exists. One of its main contenders, evolutionary psychology, does not actually provide a model for the mind, just the conditions under which it developed. Other models have offered piecemeal models of isolated effects such as cognitive dissonance, many of which are subsumed by psychoanalytic models anyways. The point of Kandel referring to it as the "most satisfying model of the mind" (at least in 1999) is because it addresses a territory of phenomena that still does not have a clear alternative. There is no analogous "geocentric system" against which psychoanalysis looks Ptolemaic. From the above reference to work, clearly psychoanalytic models are not useless, and hence researchers continue to find reasons to stick to it.

I think you are conflating Freud's model of the mind with a couple of particulars. The id/ego/superego is not particularly central to Freud's work until it makes an appearance as the "second topography" in the 1920's. The most important part of his model involving unconscious processes are almost taken for granted by psychology today after trying to soft shoe around the idea for half a century via reductive behaviorist models that fail to substantially account for anything complex like language, culture, thought and memory.

Even if we address the second topography, why is it that it "probably doesn't exist?". Is it because Feynman doubted it? It would certainly be dogmatic to suppose that this suffices to justify this claim. Solms et al. have done a lot of work showing correlates between the model of the ego and the id and functional neuroscience, so there is work to show that they very well may exist. You cannot just assert that these things don't exist because you or Feynman don't personally buy into them. None of these researchers are taking Freud as gospel, as you seem to be taking the words of Feynman. Denying that psychoanalysis is useful means engaging in those actually working on its ideas, or even engaging in Freud's ideas substantially, and making clear arguments for why this should be treated as useless.
Copyright is only applicable at the moment at which facts are compiled into a creative work.

If you actually humanly typed out the sentence: "My time zone is UTC, my IP address is 127.0.0.1, and my default language is set to English" that sentence would be subject to copyright.

However, since the facts themselves are still not subject to copyright, someone can still legally (as far as copyright is concerned) take your sentence and run:

INSERT INTO data_trail (username, timezone, ip_address, language)
VALUES ("itronitron", "UTC", "127.0.0.1", "English");

Also, there is no need to "claim" copyright to anything. It is automatic.

You can see that React development essentially stopped May 24 and then got sort back to normal by the end of June, but it's still a bit below normal levels. I think the cause was that many React devs became fed up with Facebook. I don't know how many actually quit though.

Yes, this is a nice feature added to a basically-reasonable implementation of a PDF viewer. I think the objection is that that PDF viewer should be an actual independent application, not baked into a browser that already is too many things to too many people. It's like Chrome including a basic antivirus function (https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2765944?co=GENIE.Pl...) - yes it's useful, yes I trust it more than a lot of AV products, but no I don't think it's reasonable to bundle it into the program that's supposed to be here to render web pages for me. (Similar arguments, to varying degrees, are made against WebRTC and Pocket)

There absolutely no evidence of some "selective pressure for intelligence" in human societies.

It's really not that difficult if you read and understand the PDF specification. As a learning exercise, I created a simple PDF generator library that creates ASCII PDF documents (you can open them in Notepad) and includes comments about what each drawing instruction does.

Haven't parsed XML in quite a number of years but I parse JSON to extract values from a curl command all the time with jq and it's really not that bad. If there's anything more than simple extraction required then I agree it's not good for the shell. For that I turn to the primary language of the project preferably (which these days is Elixir and sometimes Ruby for me).

But even JSON and (X|HT)ML you'd be amazed how often a simple grep can snag what you want, and regular expressions are also mostly universal so nearly everybody can read them.

You do realize that one example (out of 1.2 Billion) is the definition of "far fetched".

If you want to claim that it is not "far fetched", you will have to provide 1000s of cases.

Edit: oh great, the downvote brigade is here. How about this anecdote: in grad school, I (an Indian, from the North of the country) was friends with a group of South Indians who all shared a house. We'd have brunches together, hang out on the weekends, etc. They all came from different schools; including one from IIT Madras. After nearly a year of friendship, in one late night conversation, one of the guys joked that the guy from IIT Madras was a "topper" (i.e., ranked highest in the entrance exam). I was surprised, because he seemed so down to earth. Turns out he had scored the highest among the reserved category students (but still ranked pretty highly); IOW, he was of a so-called "lower caste". It didn't bother me at all, and neither did it bother any of his housemates. We are still friends today, albeit over long distance.

So, does my anecdote cancel yours?
Agreed on this point, it's the `public void static main` of Python.

Perhaps I shouldn't have tried to make two points in one post; I wouldn't advocate using docopt or a main function for a simple script, I was more making the case for how easy it is to add proper parameter parsing when you need it; that is easier to remember than what you'd end up writing in bash, which is something like:

PARAMS=""
while (( "$#" )); do
case "$1" in
-a|--my-boolean-flag)
MY_FLAG=0
shift
;;
-b|--my-flag-with-argument)
if [ -n "$2" ] && [ ${2:0:1} != "-" ]; then
MY_FLAG_ARG=$2
shift 2
else
echo "Error: Argument for $1 is missing" >&2
exit 1
fi
;;
-*|--*=) # unsupported flags
echo "Error: Unsupported flag $1" >&2
exit 1
;;
*) # preserve positional arguments
PARAMS="$PARAMS $1"
shift
;;
esac
done
# set positional arguments in their proper place
eval set -- "$PARAMS"

I think you've got to write a lot of bash before you can remember how to write `while (( "$#" )); do` off the top of your head; the double-brackets and [ vs ( are particularly error-prone pieces of syntax.
If VS Code is an endpoint to incremental improvements in text editing, then the next big thing that appears will involve a revolutionary approach.

I responded to your other post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24558926. It's more important to valorize independence regardless of what's actually best for Puerto Rico. Any paternalism no matter how honestly felt will defeat the purpose of this gesture.

My proposal is "bleeding heart realpolitik", and bound to thus illicit confusion in the US.
It may require a complicated computer model to pin down exactly what the effects will be, but it doesn't take any of that to accept the basic premises that lead to accepting climate change. We know (and have known for over 100 years) that CO2 in the atmosphere slows the escape of heat energy, which means the equilibrium temperature will go up. The specifics of 1 degree or 1.5 or 1.6 are more complicated, but it's really as simple as that. When I was in grade school, we learned that there were 300 PPM of CO2 in the atmosphere, and now they're learning that there are 400 PPM of CO2.

It may take some math to figure out how much warmer you'll get, but it's simple enough to realize that if you go outside on a comfortable sunny day, and then put on a blanket, you'll get warmer.
Listen to the money. When an industry spends billions on persuading the public of some "truth" the opposite is true. Same with cigarettes and cancer. Same with lawsuits that end with massive settlements and no admission of guilt.

What I don't get is vaping. Wasn't the cause traced down to THC/CBD additives that weren't even sold by the major brands? They seemed to fold too fast for something that arguably was not their product. I must be missing something.
I'm looking forward to the day when you can have multiple windows open on the same project without going through some horrible kludge. Some of us (!) have more than one monitor and would like, say, to put the debug widgetry over on _this_ one.

There is often a subtle difference: westerners are generally able to understand the situation and decide if they are inferior or note on a case by case basis. When my boss asserts authority that is different from the guy in the desk next to me, and I will react differently.

Note that women have just won that position, and often will not fight for their rights like "they should". Also black people may have issues that they may not feel like they dare fight for their rights, though some will. There are signs the mexicans will have the same problems, but I suspect the younger generation will fight. (in all the the above fight is not violence)
Certain ISP-supplied routers listen on port 7547. It's used by your ISP to access your router remotely to perform software upgrades and the like.

Of course, that's just what they claim. Your level of paranoia that it will get hacked and trust in your ISP to not use it to spy on you or override your own configuration is up to you.
The same here. Without looking at Google I guess this is the open port for ISP tech support?

> I doubt they were "getting around" anything. The customer being responsible for it is likely the entire point, because the customer who asked for this to be created probably specifically requested that (based on my experience working with AWS SAs).

I doubt a customer asked AWS: hey, can I get a graph of how the resources in my accounts all interconnect while maintaining the clusters for the data stores, handling upgrade, security, etc. myself and paying hundreds of dollars a month for the pleasure?

The alternative is a customer asked for a way to see how resources were connected and how much it was costing them, and AWS, unable to deliver because of N hurdles (I mentioned security, but no doubt others), delivered this instead. Again: this should be a managed service and free.

I think this makes a big difference. I also have 16GB RAM and a fast SSD, but I'm on a 2-core MacBook processor. I find that with all of the various different projects I have to interact with in a day (I'm the tech lead at my company) I can't leave an IntelliJ-based IDE open without it slowing the rest of computer down to the point that it's impacting my productivity.
On rereading I agree with your interpretation, but it's easy to read "all these side projects" as referring to the PDF reader.
In populations, children who grow up in musical households are more likely to become musicians. That is neither random nor determined.

A particular child growing up to be a musician, is either random or determined.

Maybe each child in a population is determined, or random, but at least you can analyze things at the population level.
I object to the idea that a lower-carbon lifestyle is necessarily a lower standard of living. A lot of of our carbon emissions come from doing things that aren't even good for us or actively make us unhappy: long car commutes, excessive meat consumption, buying too much cheap stuff.

I learned about the caste system in school. And realistically, outside of a book or two, I haven't heard a thing about it until this article.

Well probably. That's why people accept fewer features in return for the speed.
A lot of Windows Forms is non-Win32 controls with custom drawing, by the way. Especially things like menus, toolbars, etc. So a lot of Windows Forms controls are basically as native as WPF controls (just a lot harder to work with imho).

Name is not a reliable indicator of caste for all Indians. A large portion of South Indians don't have a surname - they just use their dad's first name or the name of their hometown. Even among North Indians who do have a caste-based surname, many ditch that in favor of something like "Kumar".
