Care to explain the scare quotes? ISO charge 198CHF, [0] which is $210 USD. ANSI charge $250. [1]

> The Final Draft International Standard online is guaranteed to differ from the formal Standard only on the title page.

Do you have a source for that? From what I can tell the differences are expected to be minor, but that's as far as the guarantee goes.

If what you say is true, why would anyone ever both paying for the completed document, and why would ISO expect to derive profit from paywalling it?

That varies from state to state (and certainly country to country). Here in New York I wouldn’t automatically be required to begin resuscitation in a scenario like that, _especially_ if family requesting no efforts be made. It’s possible (if you’re in the US) that the responders were EMTs, not paramedics, and would have had less autonomy to make that decision.

My aunt passed from cancer a few years ago but it seems like it was just yesterday. She did chemo for a long time and other treatments and was absolutely miserable. When she finally decided to "stop fighting" many in the family were horrified or even angry, but I get it. I would much rather go out comfortable and early than live a little longer in misery. Quality over quantity.

Not necessarily.

If you're coming up to the end of a logistic ("S") curve, then assuming a linear growth (or worse, a fixed rate of increase each year, ie exponential growth) is much worse of an assumption than assuming zero change, if you extrapolate too far.

Building an ecosystem of tools on a simple 8-bit stack-machine in 200 lines of C
The most "complicated" part about operator overloading (in my opinion) is dealing with precedence rules. Some languages, instead of dealing with this complexity, treat all operators the same. Lisp-like languages, for instance, by way of how the programs are structured, doesn't need rules for precedence. APL/J just does away with any idea of precedence and instead each operator acts on the result of the expression to its right. This breaks common arithmetic rules (2 * 2 + 2 evaluates to 8, for example), but I wonder if a language otherwise like C/C#/Java ditched precedence and allowed custom and overridable operators, if the result would be a lot less complex overall than some of the messes that can be found in C++.

> having an advocate that help you

Just highlighting this in case people overlook it, since it's a very important concept.

If one of your friends or relatives is ill, going to the doctor or hospital alone should be considered a mistake. The advocate ensures enough questions are asked, despite the condition of the ill person.

I talk to a lot of people in developing countries who have little money, and I tell them to take their ill relative in a taxi or rideshare to a clinic, do whatever tests are necessary, and take them home if possible.

That way the patient can get the most out of the healthcare system for a minimal, controlled expense before checking in.
Agreed about their software quality, but their laptops are still the best. The keyboard was an very real issue for awhile, but now they seem sorted out and are one of the best keyboards out there. Not to mention I cannot find a non-Apple laptop with the quality of screen and especially touchpad. It's a shame too because I am trying to move further out of the Apple ecosystem, but I can not find an acceptable laptop.
This is an incredibly anthropocentric perspective and possibly not one shared by the person you're replying to, so the name calling is out of line.

I don't think it's language alone. Or even cultural differences. After all, I'd bet we could have a 500-post conversation here on HN with the prompt "what's your favourite anime?"

Maybe part of it is economic risk. Localization and distribution would have some costs, and maybe nobody's willing to take a risk on "let's bring China's #1 movie to the US". Things like anime in the west got bootstrapped in obscure fandoms on an informal, low-budget, and sometimes downright bootleg way, which I'm not sure they want to do if they're trying to consciously develop soft power.

I am somewhat surprised about how limited China's attempts at soft power seem to be. They don't have a prominent global media presence like, say, the BBC/DW/NHK. They don't seem to be tooting their horn well about their engineering advances. They don't even seem to have effective tourism marketing-- I can't think of the last time I saw an advertisement encouraging travel to China (even before the pandemic) while there are loads of travel documentaries on TV all conveniently sponsored by "(random state or European country) Tourism Office"

I do think a missing piece is having a few more world-beating brands. Yeah, we have a few, (Lenovo, for example), but we're definitely at the point where people will say "I'm not going to buy a Chinese car/washing machine!" -- which feels about where Korea was in 1980 or Japan in 1955.
>All to say, having an advocate that help you with your wishes when you're in a weakened state feels like it is pretty huge.

I think it is effectively, required for most hospital stays. Even a fully capable individual with all that is going on in a hospital would IMO find it really hard to hear every important word, understand every context, and would struggle to make truly informed decisions.

When my son was 6 he was in the hospital for an illness that we still don't entirely understand (thankfully he recovered completely and is doing well). My wife or I were there the entire time. We got updates from the local university, other doctors from other hospitals.

Just updating my wife with all the details was absolutely mind mindbogglingly hard to really convey all the information accurately. When we were there together it was even harder for her to keep up.. in person.

I felt like I had an advantage as in my line of work I do a lot of troubleshooting, so change this, observe that, check this after that, accounting for tradeoffs of making some decisions, and the methodology totally made sense to me. My wife not as much.

I feel like there's a need for a medically trained advocates to really help people with these kinds of things.

I think part of the problem is that in software we are not allowed to iterate like other crafts are. A carpenter may make a table every week. They only have to live with the choices made, like tool choice, wood, screws, etc, for a week and then can try something different.

When we write software it lasts for years. It's not like anybody says a year in "oops Django was a bad choice, lets try this again in Node."

We want to care about craft, but we work on the same application longer than it takes to build most buildings. We more than any other craft are saddled with choices made years ago that were made with way too much information.

Do you then get paid the same hourly rate, but just fewer hours? I like this idea, but I also know that there is an upfront cost of staying in the loop that is about the same no matter if you end up contributing 1 hour per week or 80. So maybe 32 hour people get slightly less per hour than 40, all else equal? Curious how people already doing this handle this.
> So in his late 80's, with terminal cancer, they have him on chemo, pumped full of an ever changing diet of pills, going through one invasive procedure after another.

We looked at it from the standpoint of, "With blood cancer in their 80s, is there an endgame that resulted in getting better?"

If you think about it for a minute, you don't get better in your 80s in a meaningful way, since you aren't going to live forever.

So we asked them what their wishes were, and did not continue treatment. Everybody reached an agreement that wasn't all about the emotions of people who weren't ill.

At least in the UK if you've lived here (under whatever visa or rules allow you to) for 10 years and pass some fairly straightforward (if a bit silly) tests you can effectively stay indefinitely (whether you aim to become a full citizen or not). The process is a bit expensive and bureaucratic (and the home office often maliciously incompetent), but in principle if you've stayed here long enough you don't have much threat of being kicked out.

Interesting read but they hand waved the scaling problems this can create. What do you do when you have to change the compensation system?

Do you lower people’s salaries or pay them less than new hires? They’re not going to like that.

Do you leave early employees in a legacy system forever? That can reinforce an in crowd/out crowd dynamic among employees which can damage team cohesion.
Until we find something capable of the level of creation and higher order thought we are, preferably without some of our negatives, then being anthropocentric is the only logical view to have.

> Interestingly zsh also doesn't split words

Should zsh users ever want that behavior they can enable it globally with the SH_WORD_SPLIT option, or more sensibly local to a given parameter with the = parameter expansion as in ${=var}. Also, it has the best comment in zsh's manpage: "SH_WORD_SPLIT [...] Note that this option has nothing to do with word splitting."

$ x='name with spaces.mp3'
$ print -l -- $=x # "print -l" displays one element per line
name
with
spaces.mp3

> it silently removes empty strings

You can keep the empty strings too if needed, but it requires using the @ expansion flag as in ${(@)arr}. It all becomes superbly readable, here I'll prove it:

$ arr=($x '' 'old file')
$ print -l -- "${(@D)arr:A:gs/old/new/}"
~/Desktop/name with spaces.mp3

~/Desktop/new file

In all seriousness, the zsh default handling feels right for interactive usage in this case. I'd love the strictness of oil, so that I simply don't need to remember these things. Not yet quite ready to give up on the zshexpn(1) goodies though.
I get downvoted everytime I say this, but if someone wants to make a difference:

Best thing I ever did for myself was to get a Google Voice number in an area code I've never lived in.

A lot of these fake calls rely on people assuming "local number = neighbor" kind of mentality which rarely comes into play these days as we're much more mobile than we used to be. Plus area code splits, separate area codes for cell vs landline services becoming increasingly common.

If my GV number were: AAA-BBB-CCCC

And my actual home area code is DDD-EEE-FFFF

Any and all numbers from AAA-BBB-xxxx can be ignored.

I never answer calls that come in on my cell carrier provided number, so that eliminates that issue. Silent ring, no forward to voicemail.

Anything left, about 95% of the time, tends to be legit.

With regional calling being a thing of the past and most cell plans being unlimited text and talk, it makes very little sense to keep a local number. Especially now as it's SOP for roboscammers to fake Caller ID and try to match the first 6 of your 10 digits.

> Out of curiosity and personal interest. How do you eat? You do IF, but do you do 24 hour fasts? Do you avoid sugar?

I believe this was addressed to me?

6 hour eating windows per day where I eat upwards of 3000+ calories if I'm doing a normal no so extraneous project (tech) with just 3 day gym work outs--1 heavy day between 2 normal light workouts.

If I'm doing manual labour (farming, kitchen, mechanical stuff etc...) which I recommend everyone to do, I'll open it up to two 3 hour windows, between 1pm-4pm, and then 1am-4am. I found this is gives me the most benefit IF i have to eat more calories. If I need to travel while I'm doing any of that I'll go to ketosis and just introduce lots of animals fats and shift to no carbs, I usually don't stay in that state for more than a week, it's too boring and I get tired of eating things like avocados, bacon, eggs and salads really quick now.

Usually when I work manual labour I suffer from a sort of fatigue if I eat in the morning so I've worked around that--I hated waking up in the morning and being forced to eat as a kid so I came to loathe breakfast. So, I'll break my eating windows to 2 ~2500 calorie windows.

But to be honest I've been known to do 4000+ calories in the height of the growing seasons in Spring/Summer/Fall (in my 20s) where I could eat a dozen eggs (raw or cooked) alongside a full size meal with heavy carbs followed by an hour nap. This kept me going until 1am which is when I'd have time to eat again and have a shower and have personal time.

Also, I'm not a heavy guy my normal walking weight is 155 lbs with ~10% body fat, but I have a very fast metabolism so it's like having a turbo V10; sure you can coast it and try to get within a decent MPG, but when it's doing what it was designed to do I can literately feel the heat dissipation from my head from the calories that I'm burning in real time--I was the guy with the steamy head under a hat when it was below zero outside in Germany or Switzerland.

In short I have a harder time not being calorie deficient if I have to put my body to work so I'm unique in that respect even now that I'm over 30. I'm actually only realizing what a gift this is now since I always wanted to be pack on more weight when I was younger.
