Sorry about the weird phrasing. I did mean that I have always "found it pleasant" dealing with the Rust community.

I'm appalled at myself for the silly manner in which I phrased that. I guess I intended to say: "I have found it nothing but pleasant", but instead ended up tying myself up in knots.
Technical correction: core is a crate, not a module in the std crate. Your paths will be core::, not std::core::.

That's wrong, on a 60Hz CRT it takes the beam 1/120th of a second to reach the center of the screen, which is an average lag of 8.3 milliseconds. There are LCDs with 9ms lag.
I don't understand how many people seem to praise Spotify for their "Discover Weekly", it's been consistently shit for me for the past 2 years if not more. there's about 10 german songs in one of my playlists and I consistently get german tunes I don't care for and it doesn't seem to stop. On the other hand, I have a fair bit of French songs in about 3 or 4 playlists and yet have never gotten a recommendation of French stuff...

I've tried to understand how the algo somewhat works to suggest stuff but with no luck... I keep hitting the don't like this song or artist and yest somehow I still manage to get dreadful recommendations each week :(
I created an account to make this comment.

I've been working with an older surgeon lately who wishes to become much more tech savvy.

His general ignorance of technology and brilliant mind concoct some pretty interesting questions that often I cannot answer confidently, and so I end up down some rabbithole.

This is the definitive beginning:

This is an example of where we are now:
https://www.statdx.com/pricing/

its actually really easy to find medical journals from the 90s that mention "Medical Housecall" but it kinda just disappears circa 1999.

I have "Medical Housecall" installed on an old G4.
It DESTROYS this symptoma business in 4mb.
4mb that come on a disk, that you keep, in your home.

I dont think I even have any foil to make a hat; So Im gonna chalk this up to symptoms of Capitalism and our ridiculous healthcare system.

That is a cute toy, but lets also remember that in the real world; ANY and ALL bits of medical advice should only be given by someone tested and licensed to do so.

There are a just a huge pile of different billing codes for each and every little patient interaction.
Interactions must be coded for insurance.

Funfact: Many (All?) BlueCross organizations HAVE NO FACILITY to receive insurance claims directly whether electronically or otherwise. They must rely on a third-party called a "clearinghouse", which as far as I can tell is an Excel Macro posing as a C level corporation.

in conclusion:

the total package of QEMU + OS9 + Medical Housecall is about 1.5gb and it runs off a usbdrive.

Our health is our most basic of needs, Any systemic improvements would benefit us all.

I beg to differ with the agent part, given that that is the way most consulting works in Europe.

Either you get employed by a big consulting firm, or get your consulting agent to find gigs for you.

Naturally one can try on their own, but alone getting through the first round of RFPs is going to be a challenge regarding company assurances for delivery.
You are aware that, while "Athenian democracy" was for sure a step toward more distributed political power, it was still a city where only a selected few males could pretend to be "citizen".

By the way, "what happened to Athens" doesn’t mean much: it’s still a living city, although the age of city-state has long gone.

So, as Churchill would quote it: "No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." see: https://richardlangworth.com/worst-form-of-government

I was working out when best to put my washing machine on for the lowest carbon. It might not make a huge difference, but it seems daft to add to the load at peak demand.

Even though my power supplier says all their energy is green it makes sense that it would just shift where that green surplus would go.

This also goes by regions, I daresay that each UK region varies in its CO₂ usage
Nice! I like little soldering projects like these. More people should be "brave" enough to start tinkering around with their home electronics.
As someone that had both studied and researched statistics (publications) and played poker, I disagree. Studying these topics will leave you with an academic knowledge, not a practical and deeply learned knowledge.

There is a reason trading firms and hedge funds prefer to recruit good poker players. It's because it (i) teaches these concepts at a visceral, muscle-memory level, (ii) it teaches you to apply the concepts while under emotional strain (you may be surprised at the % of statistics professors will crumble totally when they have skin in the game), (iii) it teaches you to merge the concepts together (game theory, stats, etc) in a single cohesive decision-making framework. These are not skills that academic coursework can give you.

Consider an analogy: Is it better to learn programming through merely coursework/textbooks, or by picking up a project where code is required to complete that project?

It's also fun. It's the only reason many people get exposed to these important concepts without ever wanting to study statistics etc formally.
If Iran are morally reprehensible for making this slogan a thing, then what exactly makes America's own violent radical religious fringe elements chanting "Bomb Iran, bomb bomb Iran" acceptable?

This double standard is exactly why America is despised.

You cannot claim the moral high road while, literally, pouring billions of dollars into funding ISIS in the region.
Higher chance than the other players - yes. But that is irelevant, since you are playing against the house - not the other players.

Nvidia is free to not give out any graphics driver, however, that would make their graphics cards unfunctional and hard to sell.

However, if nvidia has sold me a functional graphics card including the driver as an unalienable part of the package that I purchased (since the driver being functional is part of the card being 'fit for purpose' of the sale), I should be free to use the driver without any unreasonable restrictions. I have legally bought [a copy] of it, it's not copyright infringement for me to run it on a computer - even if it resides in a datacenter.
How to define race, it's a genetic cluster often brought about by a closed or isolated population.

Think how we got all the dog breeds of today from the six(?) basic ones little more than a hundred years ago, here the differences are reinforced by "breeders" and the desire for "papers", in human societies the differences are reinforced by vaguely definable social conventions.

Now I am sure soemone/s will find plenty of reasons to be offended by my comment, feel free to be offended, but I am not saying any particular closed group of genes are better than any other, just that they will have differences and specific strengths and weaknesses.

We own a short legged dog (English staffy), it tries hard and gets to remarkable speed considering, but no way it can run as fast as a whippet.

And there you see how it is only a short trip down a very slippery slope to apartheid, that sounds good in theory, but could never work as long as humans won't be equally generous to a stranger as to someone they identify with.

One thing you can consider is: What if your company is Enron 2.0 and goes bust next month. Do you have enough savings to last until you find your next job and are your other investments on track for what you need for retirement?

If you answered yes to both questions, then you can consider not selling your RSUs. If you answered no to either or both those questions, I would strongly consider selling enough of your vested RSUs to turn those into yesses.

If you need to sell a significant chunk of your RSUs to reach those targets I would suggest you to take a good look at your current budget to figure out why your savings and investments are not on target.

Also, do you have any experience with dealing with a large drop in value and do you _know_ based on that experience that you'll be able to sit tight when such a drop inevitably will happen? Because if you don't have such experience (or worse: you know you're unable to sit tight), chances are you will be part of the stampede in times of panic. In that case consider selling 'more'.

Lastly, what would you suggest your best friend do in your situation?
It confirms stereotypes we have about diagnostics on the net. Light headache -> Serious stage 28 cancer.

That said, I think such a system is still useful and will improve with data and usage if users are able to confirm or dispute the preliminary diagnosis with the clinical one when it becomes available.

Users should be informed that getting a professional opinion is still mandatory for good health checks.

It could also help the doctor identifying more exotic diseases as it can create a list of possible causes that could quickly be confirmed. But doctors also know about the limited ability of patients to describe their symptoms.
I was there 2 years ago, its a beautiful place. One of my fav in Laos. Shame it will be remember in years to come by those incidents.
Saw the original HN link and was blown away, however there's a question that you as a geologist may be able to answer - how can nails (basically sloth fingernails) possibly compete with anything but soil? This (link 2) looks like sandstone and that's strong (relatively) and damn abrasive. I can't see it.

BTW that can't be soil, it would have collapsed (surely?)
Packaging it as a docker image is a common way to make deployment easier. Your nfs server seem to be a good fit for a docker image as everything runs in user space.
Both Ready Player One and Ender lacked grittyness and good actors to carry the roles. Turning them into fluffy afternoon cartoons. Good Omens on the other hands was solidly built around good acting and a style that fit the book.

Isn't that the beauty of open source, when if someone has severe OCD they could just spend their time tidying up the kernel driver instead of watching mind numbing telly?
Bail system is indeed inhuman. In the country I am from this does not exists. You could be jailed until court when there is high risk that you will continue to commit crimes or when you would hurt the investigation. No amount of money could reduce these risks. When you are found not guilty then there is a compensation for days spent in jail.

> You have options? Nobody is forcing you to buy Nvidia hardware.

Laptops are generally an all or nothing proposition. I wanted a laptop with a high performance CPU and the nvidia GPU just came along with it. Couldn't even disable the thing in firmware since hardware video decoding with the Intel GPU caused kernel panics.
Or, nobody cares about fractions of a second when organising a meeting, so to all intents and purposes they are the same.
You can now buy ready-made USB-C to <barrel-jack of your choosing here> on Taobao for like a few dollars. It's designed and sold as a complete product and just looks like any other dongle/adaptor cable.
A USB C to USB C cable should still work. Anker even sell some charge-only ones (or at least, they're only USB 2 inside)

I consider it a fun little game to guess for each mention of "Kafka" in a HN title, whether it means the author or the software.
Definitely not trivial, since this time, I would have guessed "Kafka in Pieces" to be an introduction to the software, component by component.
Beware those camping fridges tend to use 10 amps @ 12 V without a thermostat (so not safe for meat long term), which will cost you about ~$150/year at typical electricity costs. That's much more than a full-size fridge...

It's also more amps than USB-C is rated for, so depending on the model of charger and fridge, this might not work reliably.

TBF any compact fridge will likely have higher running costs because part of what makes them compact is way less insulation, otherwise their internal volume would be way too small for most people to accept.
The last assertion made in that answer is unfounded and false -
"Even if the entire OS code was made public tomorrow morning, it would take years before someone figures out how to build it, the complexity of the build system itself is mind boggling."

is contradicted by the fact that just recently a version of windows source (old, but still) was leaked, and people did manage to successfully build and boot the leaked windows (xp and server 2003 IIRC) code within days of that source becoming available.
Your comment supposes that people are unable to make changes to their condition though.

This kind of data is helpful for people who like to make evidence-based decisions in life. If an asteroid were heading for Earth would you want the news to ignore it?

Normalcy bias is a huge problem but if you're paying attention it is prudent to use information like this to decide where to live, whether to have kids, etc. it could have a huge impact on decisions like "Should I apply for job in Los Angeles, or Toronto?" So far, I haven't regretted moving from the place the article uses to illustrate hot weather to a cooler, wetter, more stable country.

@tails4e First - lets not mix integrated devices with pure FPGA. Second, electronics is trivial, very trivial even. Software isn't so much. Especially effective software that can automatically manage all interconnections between LUTs. It is not a rocket science tho, but significant entrance barrier to the market. That is why all the "FPGA" companies hold so much their binary formats as a secret and not open sourcing any tools.
I was at part of one in 2018 and while not really my cup of tea I'm not sure what's so bad about having dance music and drinking on a beach once a month. Personally I'd prefer a bit quieter and able to chat rather than nightclub volume techno stuff.

Is it about risk of financial loss or about setting up a financial incentive for a third-party to bring the person in?
These large issues are tackled with large coordinated effort. Voting is the primary way to affect this.
Agree mostly, but the best option under Linux seems to be Intel graphics (or at least was until a few years ago) - arguably not beefy enough for some things, but regarding supported features, stability and power consumption the best supported mainstream gpu in the Linux kernel.

Intel simply has no closed source driver for Linux. New hardware is often supported/merged before it is even sold. AMD is trying the same, but not there yet.
Exactly! :)

It is very difficult to convey "When does this solution pay back its cost". If you can get by with only React as state management, great. There are so many factors that ties into friction. Everything from the experience of the team, preferences, size of project, how clear the domains of the project is, ability to separate and isolate, typescript or not etc.
For a very large set of people, motivation to study is absolutely key. If your motivation comes directly from learning the concept itself, you may be right that studying it directly is more effective. But for many, trying to do that because it's "better" will lead to worse outcomes when they end up not completing the study.

Calling it "an excuse to slack off" ignores that different people's motivations are different. If being interested in poker makes someone want to learn the underlying math, then that probably is the most effective way _for them_ to study it.
There is a corollary for relationships, where you should not dread walking into your own house.

That being said, sometimes I have 20 minute showers because the thinking session is just that good. I have drawn more than a few diagrams on the foggy shower door.
I don't recall my cs program actually dealing much with state management as a standalone concept.

I feel like you could take this stance on almost any framework or library.

True, this is the argument of a best selling book going around now.

I don't get the point the first point about caching. Only the very first user of a specific website in a specific region sees a slow download from the origin server, every other user of that website in the same region gets the cached files from the CDN node. No matter how and when a file got onto a CDN node first, the vast majority of users will benefit from caching (it doesn't matter whether it's a "popular" JS library, or any other file that's only used by your website).
...but you should test anyway in case we've introduced a regression or you depend on behaviour we've decided was a bug.
Are you insane? Temp alone is NOT proof that their is man made global warming.

The world was covered in ice without humans. So the ability of the planet to change temperature inherently is self evident. All you do when you call people insane for bringing their counter points to YOUR argument is stymie discussion and polarize the subject.

If the Linux kernel can be sliced and diced, what's the point in putting non-essential code, that won't be used by the majority of running systems, in the kernel?

Why not offer the driver as additional package / download?
One of the things driving things into "the cloud" is because the hardware companies can buy can't compete on performance with the hardware that Google/Amazon/Microsoft/Facebook can make. That drives businesses to move things to the cloud. However some things _can't_ go to the cloud (legal reasons of all sorts for one) and so are stuck with an inferior situation. Assuming you had the money, there's nothing stopping you from putting a server rack in your house. If there was a company selling such hardware, maybe the trend to putting everything on the cloud would change.

Long distance motorcycle travel stretches this to a few days, weeks or months. When you reach your hotel after hours of riding, you're too tired to reach for your laptop.

You should raise that point to all the clueless shareholders who relentlessly pulled even technical control out of the hands of the techies.

As far as I know, a USB-C charger should never have a hot V+/V- and that is what my beard trimmer requires. EDIT: alias_neo corrected me, and pointed out that it's D+/D- I'm thinking about.

What I specifically found useful about poker is helps you internalize the process of applying theoretical knowledge through repeated practice playing and analyzing thousands of hands. The incomplete information and multiple factors involved also are a good training ground for the real world.
