> a solid argument why the language itself is nice to work with

Java with IntelliJ is awesomely productive. You barely have to type anything beyond new variable / field names, everything else is generated or tab completed. Refactoring is a breeze.

That, times 'worse is better' - it's the language and toolset I already know for the types of things it's good at. I have no doubt C# is comparable or better at most things, but probably not so much so that it is worth switching.

Not a doctor, but from what I've read there are quite a lot of problems in the way:

- Lead time bias. If you discover cancers early and patients survive more, is it because you're treating better or because you discovered (and started counting) earlier?

- False positives and negatives. All tests will have them, and for low prevalence cancers it might mean that testing doesn't give too much information and just increases load on healthcare systems and puts patients through unnecessary tests and procedures.

- Indolent diseases. Extensive testing might discover tumors that don't have symptoms and are not life-threatening, so you might treat people (with the risks associated) that didn't need to be treated.

And that's if the tests themselves can be developed. Apparently there are a lot of types of cancer, each with different markers, behaviors, affecting different cells. It doesn't seem likely that a single test will be able to catch cancer in general.

There absolutely are limits, especially on the social side. You don't form as close of relationships with co-workers. You don't get those in-hallway "hey, can I show you this real quick?" moments. At my previous place, a couple employees eventually left to form their own successful company; they bonded because they always went out for smoke breaks together. Unless the company is fully remote, it's harder to get noticed in the company. May be harder to move up the ladder.

I think this used to be the case but the landscape is changing quickly. Deepnote[0], for example, looks like a really interesting programming interface that's not quite traditional programming and lowers the barrier to entry significantly and is (arguably) in the low-code space.

Low-code products for data engineering show that we're not too far away from these sorts of solutions in a more generalized offering. Spreadsheets aren't the only answer.

+1 on retool, my company uses retool extensively to build out admin tools for our operations and CX teams. It's incredibly straightforward and easy to hook it up directly to DB's for reading, as well as other query/requests.

Coming from building admin tools in ruby on rails previously, this is incredibly easy and straightforward. If I have the money to pay for retool I don't think I would choose another tool in the future

It's even possible to host it yourself which allows highly regulated industries to use it.

A 720p upstream only needs like 0.5 Mbps upload. If you can’t get good quality on your 35 Mbps upstream connection, then something else is wrong with your network.

Could be your local network, could be a poor cable somewhere between you and the CMTS, could be the node is overloaded and doesn’t have enough trunk bandwidth, could be poor peering. Could be lots of things, but it’s not your provisioned connection.

Provisioning a higher bandwidth connection on the same infrastructure wouldn’t fix any of that.

I had significant upstream issues that were caused by frayed coax cable coming from the street pole to the house. Technician replaced the cable and it’s been flawless ever since. Google Meet calls work great over my 75/15 connection and wired Ethernet.

Nothing, and yet that would be a product of the singularity, not its cause. Also, a superintelligent (maybe invincible) AI acting against humans could reduce the rate of human technological progress to zero, therefore ending the singularity. It's two separate concepts, they have some interaction but should not be confused.
It is also very easy to loose some money on the way, sometimes in unexpected ways.

A friend for example, who is a talented interior designer, had a few paid customers but that made taxes more complicated (not the US) and required an accountant that cost more than what was earned. Another friend built a small site trying to sell lectures about something he is good at, again nothing significant came out of it and the expenses were bigger.

The “yearly medical checkup” at your primary care doctor (GP doctor) is largely an American healthcare phenomenon.

People around the world, who live in highly industrialized countries with guaranteed-issue health insurance coverage (whether it be national/public/private health insurance) go to their doctors at a rate much higher than Americans. We are generally talking about a multiplicative factor on average when comparing the American population to another country’s entire population.

There is a direct relationship between seeing a doctor at a minimum X interval regularly (while in excellent, good, or fair health) versus costs to the /American health insurer/ (or employer paying for the insurance if they are self-insured).

That is why you see ads on TV saying “make sure to schedule your annual checkup with your primary care doctor, brought to you by Aetna!”
Ease of repair is a factor, but there are other factors. Safety and Fuel Economy (Aerodynamics and mass) are more important than ease of repair so many things to make it easy to repair just get tossed out.

My living room RPi based music solution is an old Grundig radio from the 50s, modified so I can control the volume using the actual volume control. Playback sources (currently online radio stations chosen by genre) can be switched using the physical buttons. The "off" button shuts down the Pi.

Newer buildings come with updated building codes and benefit from technological advances. Unless there is reason to believe the newer building was built with subpar quality materials or workmanship compared to an older building, the older building will be worth less.

https://www.trulia.com/research/new-or-existing-home/

> We found that that new homes (those built in 2013 or 2014) are typically priced 20% higher than older homes with similar attributes (e.g., square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.) and in the same zip code.

Another example is the higher tier hotel brands won’t sell you their branding to convert older buildings, you have to build new (unless you have a very desirable location, but that’s beside the point).

Also, the IRS lets you depreciate buildings, but not land:

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-regs/depreciation_faqs_v2.pdf

I do not think the IRS would let people do that if they thought buildings maintained their value.
would you recommend that for someone who is in urgent need of money and can't effort to lose the little he has?
Yes, that’s a great point, but it’s important to understand how the status quo system came about. There’s a path dependency. It didn’t start as a top-down system, it happened from the bottom-up, and the Federal government only supplemented funds once the political will for the healthcare system was broad enough that literally every province was bought into it.

None of that is the case in the US yet. There have been attempts (by the Rs) to provide block grants to States which have received pushback by the Ds.

Also even today, the Canadian Federal government does not supply the majority of the funds for each Province’s insurance system, it’s still a minority relative to the Provinces. It’s an extraordinarily stable system because the power over whether the system continues to function is largely decentralized.

Yes and let's not forget those memories stored in data vaults underground or somewhat magnetically shielded. Mine is just an exercise for the imagination rather than a technically correct scenario.

But to get all these memories working again you need a power grid, to operate which you need all those memories unless isolating sections of the grid and powering them with renewables somewhat.

In a no-more-computers-unless-we-rebuild-them scenario we would have to rush to both get to save all our knowledge somewhere and to preserve the "cold" storage we already have such as written word.

That means that I've been actively using it for about 8 years now! Back then it was the only Linux-based OS that was lightweight enough for my old Asus laptop not to overheat.

It's the little things that make me always go back to it:

- If I've made a selection in terminal, Ctrl+C will copy it. If there's no selection, it will kill the process as usual.

- Simple math directly from the launcher without the need to open calculator. Just press meta key, type the calculation, see the result. I wish it did more than that, but I'm using a third-party launcher for that stuff (https://ulauncher.io/, comes with elementary-inspired theme out of the box).

- Fuzzy search in the app launcher! I'm quite annoyed that I have to type "fire" in the launcher in every other OS I've tried to start Firefox (in Win10 even that does not work reliably). In elementary OS, I can do "ffox", "ffx", or anything resembling what I'm looking for, and Firefox will pop up.

Overall the system just gets out of my way and lets me launch apps quickly and navigate between them with breeze, which is precisely what I'm looking for in an OS. There's also a couple of third-party apps specifically designed for it that I absolutely love, most notably Planner (https://planner-todo.web.app/).

Congrats on the awesome decade team! I hope for many more successful ones and can't wait for the v6 to be ready for my laptop!

Display area is one major benefit. I had a google g1 long ago and I’ve missed that keyboard ever since. Imo pressing physical keys is far superior to pressing glass.
A Quiet Path Out of the Coronavirus Shadow
Sure, I'm confident that Australians wouldn't hesitate to see their doctors given the low barrier to access. But the real question is how does any doctor in any country diagnose an early stage cancer?

This isn't a trivial problem. These patients are often asymptomatic, and objective physical exam findings are not easy to elicit or entirely non-existent. At this point, the only thing a doctor can do is screen every patient coming through the door for cancer via CT, MR, mammography, colonoscopy, etc., but this doesn't translate into clear cut clinically meaningful benefits that helps patients live longer. You often end up irradiating non-cancer patients and creating new cancers, or you selectively diagnose non-aggressive cancers (length-time bias) and unnecessarily put patients through surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation (i.e. over-treatment). Some fraction of these patients then go on to live shorter lives as a result of the over-treatment. This particular issue we're discussing is more of a medical science problem than a healthcare system problem.

Anecdote from med school: on my surgery rotation, I had a ~70 year-old patient recently diagnosed with early stage colon cancer on a screening colonoscopy. He had undergone chemotherapy and was now about to have the cancerous part of his colon removed. Surgery was a success, and the patient recovered in the hospital for a few days before we sent him home. The day after he goes home, we found out he died from a massive pulmonary embolism, likely a post-operative complication from surgery.

Alternatively, had this patient not had a screening colonoscopy, we never would have found his early stage cancer. Based on his cancer stage, he likely would've lived another 10–15 years without treatment (age ~85-90). Instead, our interventions killed him a few months after diagnosis.

One option is to do become a freelancer.

Switching from being an employee to freelancing has increased my income by 2-3x.

The actual work is very similar to a day job and projects tend to be full-time and last long.

In case you don't have an own network, consider joining a recruitment freelance network. Then you can quit your job when you find a suitable project.

It might feel like a huge risk but in reality it is not that risky considering the high demand for developers. You can always go back to your job.

Of course difficult to say if that is a viable option to you but I would seriously consider it, at least research it further. Best of luck!

may they also would need less energy if you can create a smaller screen and instead add a keyboard (no net loss of content screen space). I do not need a big screen.
I've endlessly debated with myself about this and have come to the conclusion there isn't really a good solution and the best choice is probably put as much in an actual file as possible.
environment is sort of leaky and non-obvious . at least with a file there is something that is written somewhere that can be inspected and passed as an argument or as an environment variable. The only real positive I see with environment is that children of the process group basically get it for free, but that can be a negative in it of itself as well.

If I have to pick between environment and arguments as configuration, I'd probably prefer arguments since the application would have to explicitly iterate over all the arguments and handle them in some manner, like assign them to some structure or global internal to the program.
This is essentially what I do in Rails apps. The only reference to an env var is in an initializer that sets an option in the global rails config structure.
The feature that mrkeen is describing is called higher kinded types (HKT). I.e. in Scala (and similarly in Haskell), you could write something like:

def process[L[_]](input: L[Int]): Unit = ???

Where `L[_]` could be any type that has a type parameter, e.g. `List[_]`, `Option[_]`, `Future[_]` or `Either[String, *]`. This opens the door to a new level of abstraction where other languages must resort to code generation or similar ad hoc-like solutions.
For english language, swipe typing coupled with autocorrect works astonishingly well. So much so that I use it regularly because of lazyness.

What segment does the physical keyboard appeal to? Youngins were born and raised touching the screen, so it's archaic to them. Old timers are jaded at this point to either wait for their dream phone or buy any cheap crap.
