Any gap in employment or long-term unemployment is difficult to get over, but staying home with children seems to have its own stigma. My mother had quite a problem with this: She stayed home as she could while we were growing up, occasionally working when we really needed money. She started working more when my brother finally didn't need as much care (my brother is 11 years younger, so there was quite a stretch).

She got told no because she didn't have recent work experience. Childcare simply doesn't count unless you are getting paid to watch other people's children.
That's clearly true from talking to several foreigners I know who do medical work in developing countries.

Yet it also seems like there is a lane for a simple piece of software to do basic record keeping. For example, I wrote the app (https://github.com/russnewcomer/SeventyTwo) for my friend to solve the problem (somewhat specific to the culture they work in) where they don't have a clinic site or really the ability to make appointments but instead travel to homes or communities to do their work, and they have to cart around all their binders full of records. My simple app works for their use case, but this also feels like a spot where there are more opportunities to help.

Anyway, I definitely support open source EMR efforts, wherever they may lead, and I thank and applaud you for your service!
How effective will a microphone attached to vacuum cleaner be though?
So what? I’d you dont want it, don’t pay for it.
It would be pretty awesome to write an app, train the network, and deploy it using the same computer! I sometimes try to use google Colab to train some fun stuff (like style transfer) but sometimes it gives me a headache (grateful it is free though!!) It's hard to predict if the session will just stop and persistent data is a pain. Having an affordable (ironic using this word with Apple) for ML prototyping would be amazing.
This was viewed as a mistake by some investors as it distracted them from building features/products that would differentiate them from Google/MSFT.
Vue just feels so good to work with vs react. However it's going to be easier for companies to find experienced react engineers than Vue engineers. That is always a big consideration if you are a start up trying to push product.
This is a really interesting perspective I haven't run into before. It definitely captures a subtractive strain of political and social thought I find incredibly frustrating. The lefty "woke" variant is hotly criticized lately, but its libertarian and conservative siblings have had their moments in recent years. Something in it speaks to everyone.

Of course, dismantling order is a poor substitute for refining order, and while the idea of starting over from scratch is seductive, I'm not convinced the "post-dismantling" environment is a good one for building better things (regardless of your definition of "better").

Unfortunately, the thirst for hard resets seems stronger now on all sides than I've ever seen before, which disappoints me to no end. Everything grows out of something else. And if you can't picture how what we have today could become what you want tomorrow without resorting to burning it down, you probably aren't ready to build something better from scratch. The least you can do is let the thing stand while we figure out how to make it work for everyone.
>your joke would have been better if you pointed out the 10gbe deficiency

I think it's more funny that when you make a joke about apple, the apple fanboys act more like the guy in the famous 1984 TV-advertisement, really grumpy truffles ;)
Why aren't more user-visible medical systems built as services: open source backend serving endpoints, closed front-ends?

Bespoke front-ends and UX have never been open source's forte, but shared serving technology running behind the scenes has been wildly successful.

Health care seems like a good fit for that.

"Life sucks and you may as well learn it early." Setting aside the fact that tweens & teens in particular need more sleep (you can do with less when you're older), even if one has to get up at 6:30 and do a 90 minute commute every day, why make kids do this?

They can learn to get up early and commute when they have to do so. I don't think making kids spend 10 years waking up early is necessary to prepare them for getting up early as an adult.

Analogy: they may have to go without food at some point their life, that doesn't mean we have to starve them now so they're prepared. They can learn to do it when they need to do it.
Hi. James? I was CTO of Pennington Firm in that era and it was one of many industries where "internet modernization" was happening to a sort of sleepy status quo. OpenEMR with FreeB were the furthest along open source project at the time and so we started there. There were a lot of legacy type problems inherent in the OpenEMR codebase and I think the change to PHP 3 ultimately is what lead to starting fresh with ClearHealth. I'm dating myself but that's around the time that browser AJAX starting opening up a lot of UI possibilities.
>unlike TV and books, this is an interactive device explicitly designed to manipulate our psychology into using it more

I think the TV, film, and print media attempted to do the same, they were/are just much less effective at it. For example, watch a "slow burn" movie like Alien. Most modern movies, by comparison, seem to be edited to keep our short attention span tuned in. Same with the old adage "sex sells"...we've always been trying to hijack human attention we're just so good about it now it's essentially been weaponized.
A company could hire their own janitor, buy their own janitorial supplies and save money.

Or they can go through a 3rd party consultant to take care of it so they can focus their cycles on more important issues.

Not everyone is an infrastructure provider. Time is a limited commodity, and there are clear benefits of spending as much of your time on the core business.
Sure, but the sample of confirmed positives is so small that it might not include some important subgroups. If only 1 at risk person in the placebo tested positive, and 0 in the vaccinated group did we haven't learned much.
Did you check the supplemental materials?
> The inductivists will therefore outcompete the anti-inductivists.

You have no deductive or a priori reason to know this, rhetoric about "epistemically traps" aside.
What sort of job do you have that has homework? Mine certainly doesn't.

More generally, i don't think we should make kids lives suck to prepare them for the fact that the rest of their life is also going to suck. That's not the way to make happy people who appropriately prioritize work/life balance.
How is the actual acceleration happening here? Is it done via optimizations with the GPU or the usage of the Neural Engine, the Unified Memory or some combination?
if the vaccine is ~90% effective, wouldn't we expect that for any ten random cases in the trial, 9 would be in the placebo group?

i don't see how that rate implies anything about the severity of the infection
Yeah. The whole Section 1201 is just terrible.
And the "innocent violations" thing is burden of proof on the "infringer", and is subject to court discresion. You can prove that you neither knew, nor had no way of knowing that the thing you distributed was designed to defeat a technological measure and still have the court say "too bad, that is the risk you take distributing things, you owe every cent they lost via piracy attributable to this plus statutory damages (despite the fact they already sued other people and got all the money they lost from piracy from them already)".

And the infringer is anyone who "manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, or otherwise traffic in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof" with respect to an infringing device/program. note the "part thereof". While intended to allow RIAA/MPAA to go after people who are knowingly benefiting from selling some part that people found can be used to construct a piracy device, it technically means they can sue Linus Torvalds if Linux is used in an infringement tool and win if the Judge is not exercising that discretion.

Everything about 1201 et seq is poorly thought out.

I actually don't mind some other parts of the DCMA, like the basic safe harbor concept, but do believe it needs to updated to make false takedown notices actually carry real consequences for the false claimant (including eventually losing the right to file takedown notices without suing and winning first). Furthermore, that should also cover any similar system implemented by platforms, such as false uploads to a ContentID database, or false use of manual claims.

But yeah, there are a lot of changes/reforms that really ought to be made to US copyright law, to better match what people actually expect the law to be.

No proper screen sharing through any mainstream videoconference application is a killer for work. (0)

chromium doesn't support wayland yet, so it is blurry in HiDPI displays with scaling (chromium-dev does, but it has so many bugs it isn't even funny). As a consequence, all electron apps end up blurry... of which there are many.

Same applies to all apps that don't support Wayland yet. For example, I spend 90% of my time using Emacs, and it is blurry on Sway if I enable HiDPI scaling.

---

So sure. If you don't have a "modern" HiDPI monitor, and if you don't need to screen share often, and if you don't need to use chromium for work, or any App that doesn't support wayland yet, like all electron apps, Emacs, etc., or your work involves ML, or you want to game, or have an nvidia graphics card, which sway does not want to support (as opposed to gnome and kde), and you don't want to buy two GFX cards, or if you have to do screen sharing, or probably another dozen other things that most users need to do occasioanlly, or even every day. Then, and only then, Sway might be for you.

But you can also use i3, where all this stuff just works.

(0) I've seen people creating virtual webcams using OBS studio to capture their screen and share it as their "webcam" in videoconferences, but no mainstream software really supports this "as screen sharing", so the quality is quite bad, in a meeting with 10 people everyone needs to pick the webcam because the apps don't support this huge hack, etc.
It matters because their uses is different, which forces different design requirements, memory constraints, different multitasking and network environments and assumptions...

Also, for a large number of these devices, they run Java-ish code on a Java-ish VM.
Absolutely!!!! What a great piece of software.
Some of it is becoming more democratized too. Facebook as an example open sources it's datacenter design, it's servers, switches etc. I know they are the big bad for privacy these days, but the OCP project has contributed state of the art datacenter tech that legacy providers should be jumping at.
It's got nothing to do with hardware, so far NVIDIA has been the only vendor to take deep learning seriously. AMD GPUs have at times been the best on paper for DL but always lacked real software support. A low cost 16GB card could be very useful but their strategy doesn't appear to have changed so today NVIDIA is still the only option.
When it's not running? Probably pretty effective. As long as it's in the same or a nearby room as the target.
Elasticity? Fine. So their, say, single rack will sometime have limited load and be under-utilized.

About the up-front investment - most hi-tech companies are a massive initial up-front (or nearly-up-front) investment.
There are additional instructions too. However, they aren't documented and Apple's compilers do not include them at all.

They can only be used in Accelerate.framework or in the kernel, which checks and is able to work without them.

Anyone know the article that was about how with acronyms it slows the reading comprehension for the whole team whereas it saves you a few seconds to type it out? I really liked it.
Actually it's more like toolkit to make your own set of utility classes. With one config you can really change it to be whatever you need.

I always throw away colors on every project and change it to semantic naming. I add / remove fontsizes, spacing whatever project needs.

I've been also confused how can people use it without touching the config but apparently many do. I guess when developers don't have particular design or brand they just pick from whats available.
I think there are plenty of open source projects with great UI but that aside I'm not sure I understand what you mean? What type of service for example?

HIPAA greatly complicates a lot of data sharing because of appropriate data privacy issues.
I believe a common misconception about OSM (which is also somewhat reflected in the article) is that it "is" the map on osm.org. Actually the main OSM "product" is the map database, which can for example be used for drawing maps, as is demonstrated on osm.org.

Creating maps or apps where you can customise display, save routes etc is really up to other players.
Very cool.

Small issue: I find that the cursor can be hard to use sometimes. For example, if I clear and then execute the single line

"<style>body {background-color: #fdf6e3;}</style>"

I can no longer get an empty line at the bottom of the document. My cursor can only ever be within the outputted "<style>" tags, and hitting return from there creates a new pair of "<style>" tags.

To temper this bug-report with a cool feature, I like that the output is (usually, with the exception of the above) plain text, which can itself be executed. I haven't found a use-case for this, but I'm sure there's some interesting meta-programming that could be done.
> It's extremely sales driven... and the systems you write are mostly for the benefit of insurance companies / compliance than doctors or patients.

This.

Once I worked making healthcare software that would basically save costs by avoiding complications. We were bidding into a large hospital network. After the long sales cycle, we checked the most boxes, clinicians liked the feel of ours the best, they said ours was the most intuitive, helped them do their job the fastest, etc.

The clinicians weren't the ones writing the check though.

Our competitor approached the main insurance provider in the area and convinced them they could save x% in additional claims if the hospital network would adopt their software. Competitor's deal was to split the bill between the insurance company and the hospital network. To the admins writing the checks, they had the choice between two vendors that more or less did the same thing but one came in at half the cost. Clinicians' preferences didn't matter, it was a no brainer for them.

No amount of software engineering would have saved that deal.
Precisely this. There is no real winner in war (I'm a US Army Veteran of OIF II circa 2003-2004), only one side that might lose less. Taking a life breaks many people, even trained infantry. Look at all of the veteran suicides due to PTSD from war as proof of this.

Once someone on either side has been killed in war, both sides permanently lose. There are no take-backs, only damaged soldiers on both sides and casualties.

No, they don't.

They make it difficult to not pay people at least the minimum wage for doing real work, whether or not they are students.
seems like its only a matter of time then that malicious servers wrap their TLS libs in a one time randomizer that gives them the appearance of not matching other C&C hosts.
If there is any part of what I said that is false. I invite you to point it out.

Support Hong Kong?

How is that in opposition to China? Hong Kong is part of China, and I’m pretty sure the Chinese government thinks of itself as supporting Hong Kong.

All Sweeney actually did was make some carefully worded statements about free speech and said that they wouldn’t filter messages on their platform.

He made no statement encouraging support of any particular political stance.
Good Naming Convention for Continuous Deployment Environment Names?
I've grown tired of obscure environment names, like dev1,qa3,int1,stg8,demo3? I've heard of better naming conventions such as reh/dry (for rehearsal and dry run). Anyone have a continuous deployment environment naming convention they like?
This depends completely on the industry.

Maybe a dev tools startup etc. would accept the Industry Leader argument, but Retail for example would never pass up the revenue opportunity by dropping IE11 support.

I've always appreciated when libraries who drop IE11 support provide polyfills etc., or at least some notes on it, since the library author knows better than anyone which corners are not IE11 compatible.

This eases adoption in these other industries, instead of taking this hard stance which may sound good, but ends up limiting the # of devs who can use the library.
Hmm I'm reading this different, the first graph is seconds/batch. So the lower the number should be better. The M1 Mini should perform 4X faster than the Mac Pro Intel in terms of ML training.
When I see usage figures touted in the form "Trusted by X companies" I assume X is the total number of signups they've had.
If you're interested in the security posture here, I saw a good talk on bug-hunting in OpenEMR at BSidesCT last weekend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSvlhFQzUNg
Apple a couple years ago added 16,000 employees in India for its map "update" group - I bet it's pretty easy to guess what they were doing isn't it?

That was a far better investment versus buying a relic from the propreitary vehicle navigation data era who are still surviving selling yearly DVD updates and wondering when the last of their cheese will vanish.....

CarPlay and Android Auto have decimated that business - from a captive reoccurring business model to being completely decimated and gutted. It's another Blockbuster-esque lesson in getting displaced before you know you are being displaced. The smartphone is now your navigation device.

Note: NavTeq, HERE, TomTom, Garmin survivor.
I devolve into the same exact patterns as this pubescent teen does when I'm overworked. Phone apps hit the same reward centers in our brain as drugs do.

It's possible that the phone displaced her craft activities because it's a lower effort dopamine hit, but I think she'd probably spend all of her time sleeping without the phone.

Not only are you ascribing ill motives without justification, you're doing it based on pure supposition. The whole story exists only in your head. Snap out of it.

It's not as if there aren't real reasons to think Musk is an ass. Wait for one of those to come up before you start the hate train.
> If it makes economic sense for you to pay me $100k, making that conditional on where I live is just a jerk move.

Google has like 100,000 employees. They had a net profit of $34B in 2019. That is 340,000 per employee. From a "we could pay people more" perspective, they are wildly underpaying their employees. That is precisely as much of a jerk move as anything else.

The only solution to this is collective action. I do hope that recognition of "wow, we really do get screwed by the bosses" among remote tech workers will allow the entire industry to see how capitalism seeks to minimize their pay.
In our family I use the Gryphon router/app combo and Apple Screentime to monitor and enforce limits and Rooster Money to create incentives for kids to do chores and make good choices. Twenty years from now, this could make a big difference as to whether my kids are disciplined, independent, employable adults, or screen junkies. As a society, I believe screen addiction is creating a reversion to the mean scenario where mean focus and productivity is decreasing over time as companies continue to optimize how they manipulate people for profit. This is another case of socialize the costs, privatize the profits.
> Until now, TensorFlow has only utilized the CPU for training on Mac. The new tensorflow_macos fork of TensorFlow 2.4 leverages ML Compute to enable machine learning libraries to take full advantage of not only the CPU, but also the GPU in both M1- and Intel-powered Macs for dramatically faster training performance.

It sounds like the performance gains are because they are now using GPU and CPU instead of just CPU.

Ah, but do you have kids? Because whooboy, lemme tell ya... Speaking as a parent, I can honestly say there is nobody more judgemental than other parents. I can't tell you how many times I've heard parents criticize other people's parenting.

Parenting is a thankless job is fraught with insecurity and doubt, and every parent thinks they are not doing good enough, and constantly comparing themselves to other parents. Seeing a parent who shows weakness, who is not doing a good job, is a vindication for parents. "Hey, look, I'm not as bad as HIM/HER". You don't want other parents to think that about you, so you make sure you never EVER allow parents to see you make a mistake because you know the first thing that will happen is they will go home and talk about it with their parent/parent/friend/whoever.

Parenting is just like any other job. You can be an employee, but if people think you're a screw up don't expect to be invited to any social functions. Except in this case it's not just you who is getting excluded... It's your child and the rest of your family.
> But accessibility is critical.

Totally agree. I once did some mandatory training at work (on avoiding discrimination, ironically) where some of the facts needed for a good score were only presented in the audio track and were thus inaccessible to deaf people. I'm partially deaf without my hearing aids so am sensitive to this issue.

Another place where I worked had the bays in its car park marked with a colour of brick that was the same as the main colour if you had a certain type of colour blindness. It's actually how most of us found out that one of our colleagues was colour blind, when he got a complaint about his apparently inconsiderate parking (usually taking two spaces because he couldn't see the markings).
I agree with you - when a book is down, a TV is off or a console is off, it doesn't ping you and light up to gain your attention. Sure, as kids we watched a lot of TV, but when it was time to turn it off we didn't get a sound to tell us someone "Liked" your photo. As you said, these aren't bi-directional.

I think the hardest thing for this parent was balancing what was right for their child (and they seemed to be confident in their opinion) and what would hold them back socially at school. It's hard to say no to a child that says "Everyone else has an iPhone" because we all remember being that kid left out from something when we were young.
