Sorry I was unclear. The distinction between "blame the pilot" and "determine root causes, so we can work to prevent recurrence", is relatively familiar in an aviation context. So say, a recurrent checklist failure, might prompt checklist improvement, rather than merely blaming pilots. Perhaps shortening a landing checklist, by moving items to a less tense approach checklist.

So I attempted to illustrate by analogy, that describing a common reason why something happens, isn't being apologetic, or a distraction. Here, it seems possible that head-down engagement in physical manipulation, might have distracted from patient communication and care management. As that flavor of failure is not uncommon.

Regards tech to reduce mistakes, it will be interesting to see AR attempt to blend medical records with point of care. To see the patient, is to see their status. To administer an injection, is to have it recorded. But yeah, culture change is core, and hard. And tech doesn't yet provide great leverage on that. Or sometimes, as with VA OR teams composed by randomized assignment, something non-ideal has been knowingly chosen for its larger-scale properties, and the tech task is to mitigate negative impact. By for instance, detecting when meds were requested, but absent a team familiar with working together, didn't happen. There was a VA trauma surgeon shopping around a request to implement that years back.

Wow It is really cool to see you on hackernews as well. I have programmed 2 different gameboy advance games for game jams in the past. But building it from scratch is really hard. Most resources are down with the exception of TONC https://www.coranac.com/tonc/text/ So you will have to use the spec sheets a lot. Gbstudio is very well made and easy to use. But if you are looking for a challenge i will leave the trivial excessive to you, the reader.

Actually, it is the fault of the graphic.

One flowchart works like a conventional flowchart but shows all of the command-line overrides as separate decisions. They are, but that obscures the actual simplicity of the system. The other flowchart has an odd way of representing the decisions, not using decision nodes. And the colouring isn't even consistent, and is downright wrong in one place.

There are really only four possibilities: login interactive shell, login non-interactive shell, non-login interactive shell, and non-login non-interactive shell.

Whether a shell is login/non-login, and whether it is interactive/non-interactive, are determined from a combination of things including standard I/O file descriptors and process arguments; standard-conformant mode differs from native mode in almost all shells; and shells like the Z shell have several compatibility modes for other shells; but there are just four outcomes, one of which (login non-interactive shell) is rare in practice (https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/304447/5132).

And the basic idea is that personal convenience shell aliases and shell functions, key bindings, prompts, completion controls, and all of the other UI parphernalia such as history files and mailboxes to monitor, are things that you should only be setting for interactive shells. For the Z shell in its native mode, for example, that's the domain of the global zshrc and the per-user .zshrc . For the Korn and Almquist shells, similarly, that's the domain of the file named by the ENV environment variable. For the C shell it is the domain of the global cshrc and per-user .cshrc .
It's good to see Microsoft pursue the field of educational programming further.

I remember another MS project (which I just had to look up). It was called MakeCode https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/makecode and I remember it because they had a nice Minecraft integration. Well... it still exists: https://minecraft.makecode.com/

So to go on a bit of a rant: there's Scratch, MakeCode, Tilecode now, on top of "fantasy consoles" and dozens of very easy-to-use game engines (like, really, lots of them, in the browser, native... way below the Unity and Godot stepping stones). You know what's sad? Somehow I feel like we can't solve this barrier to entry for casual coding. On the one hand, a teacher or parent wanting to teach their kid(s) is overwhelmed with choice. On the other hand there's the attention economy basically saying: "don't bother."

Later on in the academic career, you have lecturers either having to overwhelm students (especially non-CS students) with all the best practices at once (you need this IDE, and GIT, and tests...) or having to resort to something which looks like it's made for kids and "won't make it in the real world" (speaking from experience here).

It's a pity that computing got so complicated. This is a hard problem to solve. Nonetheless, I applaud any efforts made towards this.
I used to think so too. Then I read the research on this, and the evidence suggests the opposite of what you wrote: your time is better spent doing retrieval practice than creating your own cards.

South Africa probably produced commodities, like natural resources and agriculture, and not things like iPhones, drones, etc.

Any pressure would need to come from governments forcing the hand of larger businesses to slowly move complex manufacturing elsewhere.

The ZeroMQ Guide has a chapter dedicated to reliability stuff: https://zguide.zeromq.org/docs/chapter4/

Maybe there is no guarantee, but it can handle unreliable connection just fine, at least when I used it a few years ago.
I’m really starting to feel the age and competing priorities with family. Makes me really scared about ageism.
Yes, it's similar to just encrypting yourself and then using AWS S3 or something. That's not a differentiator, but usually people object decentralized solutions because they fear that anybody could access the data. So it's built into the protocol itself, and you can't accidentally send unencrypted data to the network.

For most users, the real benefit is price. Also, there might be users who can't use AWS S3 for example, because it's not available in their country for some reason.

There is liability, but it's handled through smart contracts. The hosts have to insert collateral to the system, which they lose if they can't hold their end of the data contract. The data is also replicated to multiple hosts, and encoded with erasure correcting code (with user selected redundancy) which protects against host failures.
Yes, but arguing we didn’t already do something so we shouldn’t start now isn’t right.

I know that isn’t your point, and agreed on the WTO. As a mass we will never sacrifice a 10% cheaper product to stop inhumanities. We need to elect officials who will handle that via economics. I’ve always been a fan of taxing Chinese imports to offset this factor.

If only we can just keep partisan politics out of the discussions as the taxes on Chinese products were immediately bashed based on the person who implemented it. We need to look at the decision itself to evaluate it, not the party that made the decision. We can disagree with most of a party’s decisions but if you find you hate 100% of them you are likely applying a bias to something that may be good.

Check out Crouching Tiger. It’s a great modern book that includes how we are buying/trading our way into losing the next war.

I am curious what would happen should you face those countless victims of "incompetence" and explain it to them.
I do not like the "Generations" style of narrative because it is wrong in so many ways. (Particularly I've seen marketers fail because it led them segment the wrong ways -- you want customers who love your brand and to say it is for people under 32 and not over 33 is just dumb.)

Some trends (such as "environmental awareness") wash across society over time: in this case we have an increasing number of "fish" on "fishbowl Earth" who are affected by the waste products of the other "fish".

That kind of trend has this pattern

My mother-in-law has leased a Toyota Corolla or similar vehicle and has no attachment to large vehicles, fossil fuels, etc. She's on a "fixed income" and is motivated by (i) total cost of ownership and (ii) trouble-free motoring. She would switch to electric if it won on these grounds. Getting her to switch brands from Toyota might be tough.

My son is an auto enthusiast (wands an Oldsmobile 98), but many people his age will want an efficient reliable car like my mother in law.
Presumably each car handover is conducted with an internet-connected cellphone, making it trivial to get a trusted timestamp accurate to a second or two.

It's complex to synchronize clocks perfectly, but to within a few seconds is easy and there aren't many cars that could rack up an appreciable mileage in such a short time.

What does calling the virus the Chinese virus achieve? Does it solve the current crisis we are in? I’d like to go back to my original question - what is the substance or end result?

And in your mind, what does it mean that Trump is willing to “stand up” to China? What is the net effect or outcome?

Last I checked, there are over 200,000 Americans dead from the virus. The American President initially denied it was a real issue, going as far as to say it was a Democratic hoax. Then he started having daily conferences, somewhat acknowledging their seriousness of the situation, but insisting it would all just disappear.

You can vote however you like, and no one here is asking you to tell us who you voted for. And I’m not asking you to justify your vote, although you indicated your candidate and your reasons why.

I’d prefer to go back to a policy discussion.

Arming Taiwan will help an American defense company increase its revenue for sure. But if we want to discuss impact on China, in a serious military conflict, Hong Kong has essentially zero chance of holding off a Chinese invasion.

The larger point I’m trying to make is that it’s not clear to me what actual impact the current Presidents policies have had. He certainly has great sound bytes to portray himself as being tough on China, but from the list of items you provided, I would love to know what fundamentally has changed.

The American President is fairly well known for exaggeration and hyperbole - he describes himself as the “best” or most informed on any particular topic. In his own words, his opponent is weak because his opponent will listen to scientists. I hope you’re able to disambiguate that tough words, whether it’s calling Mexicans rapists and criminals or saying the virus is the Chinese virus, don’t actually accomplish anything substantial other than maybe make you “feel good” or provide you confirmation on your beliefs on a particular topic.

Separate note: I do find it ironic that as an American voter, you believe the same President, who has financial interests and even personal bank accounts in China, is “tough” on China in terms of any meaningful policy.
i also find that spatial layout and a fixed sequence can help with recall. flash cards are supposed to improve on that, but for me, personally, the spatial component is helpful- especially when related concepts are near each other.

Ok, then convince your side to submit to the UN-appointed war crimes tribunal in The Hague. As long as the The Hague Invasion Act is still in force, that claim is hollow.

How is knowledge of the markets utterly irrelevant to most people's lives?

Knowing the reasoning behind not trying to time the market will allow you to have the moral foritude to not sell your retirement fund when the market is freaking out, like it did this spring. That is much more valuable knowledge for most people then knowing higher math and English literature.

Another place that the education system is totally worthless is healthcare. Do the schools teach us to contact our insurance companies for interaction Id numbers to see if a provider is in network and then proce we contacted 6months later...hah no. Yet just this last week I had two different providers offices try and schedule me for an appointment costing $160-$200 that subsequently my insurance would not pay for. However the in-network rate is $10. Yes this is a mess but even though it is a mess education is instead trying to teach a classical liberal arts education which most people neither want nor need.

We need educational reform in this country and significant cuts to the educational system could be exactly what is needed as a wake-up call.

Here's a really interesting video about speed performance of the v8 engine:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC_QLLilwso

The basic points: They watch functions for "hotness" (how often they are ran). Then, any function that is super hot, they'll see if it's being ran consistently (ie always receives two numbers as its arguments). Then they'll make a streamlined interpretation of the js code which only checks the arguments and then skips pretty much all the other checks. By doing this, it makes JS significantly faster.

If you're trying to compare and contrast v8 to quickjs, this is the first thing that comes to mind for me as to what they may be doing differently.
If that's true, why is it an issue John Carmack discusses as affecting difficulty of writing games that work correctly in modern environments?

> When you start thinking about running, say, all the characters in a game world in parallel, it starts sinking in that the object-oriented approach of updating objects has some deep difficulties in parallel environments. Maybe if all of the object just referenced a read only version of the world state, and we copied over the updated version at the end of the frame… Hey, wait a minute…

An unlocked software architecture and untrusted code leaves people at the mercy of hackers, it doesn't empower the average user.

There are other solutions to this problem that do not involve surrendering control over everything that matters to corporate interests that may coincidentally align with your own sometimes.

For example, do we really think a corporation primarily motivated by making its profits is going to be habitually careful about software security? We know this is not often the case, because the quality of so much software produced by big businesses today is terrible in terms of security. What is more telling is that it continues to be terrible even though we are well aware of methods to mitigate many of those vulnerabilities. But those methods usually require more skill and/or more time to get right, and typically that means greater up-front costs, and since it turns out that Joe User will often put up with junk security and pay good money for the software anyway, the profit incentive does not have the outcome we would like.

Note that this doesn't necessarily mean Joe likes the poor security. He might be willing to use the tech anyway because he values what he gets from it more than he believes the dangers are costing him, or because he believes the dangers are inherent in the tech and unavoidable, or because he just doesn't realise the dangers are there in the first place.

This can be solved in a number of ways, but most of them come down to showing people that it's possible to do better by writing software that actually does better, and given the lack of commercial incentives coming from above, the most likely place we'll see that is in community efforts. Those efforts don't even have to result in some sort of openly developed software that dominates its market to succeed here, just to make it obvious to enough normal people that they don't need to accept substandard junk and they should demand better in return for their money.

Much the same argument can be applied to issues like privacy, repairable and upgradeable hardware, open standards for data portability, freely programmable devices, and no doubt many more. If competition in the commercial markets isn't getting the job done, yet we know doing the job is possible, it's up to those of us with the knowledge and skills to push things forward for now. That could mean directly creating better hardware and software, educating our less skilled and experienced peers to improve standards in the industry and make hiring better people less expensive, or simply educating users and pushing for higher standards from the customer's side.

I think they need to redo their study and look at the difference between a guy holding/nursing a cat and a cat simply being in the photo with them. The former would be a negative while the second could potentially go either way depending whether the viewer identified as a cat/dog person.

You could also test for holding/not holding a dog. I would think there is also likely to be a difference of perception between a guy with a border collie and one with a teacup poodle.
Doesn't your personal belief help answer that question though? It seems if you sincerely believe you have free will, you'll end up doing things that look a lot like the exercise of free will.
Once dead, you cease to be, so it's only natural that people focus on their life and living it. I don't see any need to obsess or focus on death. Death comes as a shock, true, but, you cease to be after and so it doesn't matter. It's a point on the journey that is life and it's best to focus on the journey.

Is there a solution that would mirror the iCloud Photos collection; where deleting or modifying a photo on iCloud would be reflected on the server?

I like to use iCloud primarily, but I'm looking for a solution to sync the collection to take an offline regular versioned backup. So far all the options I've tried kept all photos, including the deleted ones, and duplicate the modified ones.
Another option is gambling. With smart-contracts it's possible to build fair and auditable casinos on blockchain.
I saw that, and it doesn’t do anything for me personally than paint the authors as petulant. Clearly “some danish folk” are the obvious other here and they themselves can’t be bothered because they don’t read the character. If they want to refer to the mathematical character as mentioned in other comments, why not use that instead of one from an actual alphabet? They’re free to do whatever they want but anyone familiar with the character is also free to see them as being not a little US-centric.
You don't know that. Most old people who are ready to die would think much differently if their peers and loved ones also lived longer. The rest of them would rather continue living. "I actually really do want to die eventually" sounds a lot like Stockholm Syndrome.
