That looks really great! In my attempt to do something similar ( https://github.com/drewbuschhorn/DoctorMoon ) I kept having issues from the various publisher's apis not playing nice with each other. How are you guys shimming around that for general science?

Have you considered flagging paths for publications that get retracted? I've always thought that a 'this paper you're using has three retracted parent papers,' would be valuable.

Excited to see where you guys go with this!

> One of the fundamental concepts that informed the design of the Macintosh, the first true consumer-oriented graphical user interface, was the idea that humans could interact with computers spatially.

Does anyone know a source to confirm this? I remember reading an anecdote years ago that users got so used to the folders being the same as the window that held their contents that they had difficulties when that metaphor broke down. That story had some good insights on user-friendliness in design.
In fact I don't particularly like football - being brought up in a house with a wolves loving grandfather, father and brother sort of turned me against it. I watch an average of about 1 game on TV every 12-18 months.

But I appreciate for many people, football isn't a matter of life and death - it's far more important. For tens of millions in the UK, it's not about the winning, or the losing, it's about the battle.

I recall hearing about this phenomenon about a decade ago, and at the time someone theorized that the specific memory may be lost but the effects were still present, and that these effects could cause general anxiety and distress without the person understanding the reasoning. I think it is perhaps more philosophical than rational, but it did give me pause to consider that perhaps not everyone forgets enough of a surgery to escape its effects, even in the best of circumstances.
Quality does not equal performance.

For a few, the quality is amazing, but even Cuba does better at keeping its people healthy than we do.

Cuba regularly contributes to medicine same as we do and doctors are a national export, recognized around the world.

And just what is an "economically productive" person?

You do realize those numbers come from tons of other people, who work hard and too many of whom have no meaningful access to that quality medicine?

No, probably not.

Finally, there is how health care is funded, who has access, and how care, medicine is delivered.

Socialized medicine is the VA, and that is not what Medicare is.

Medicare is funding health care, not socialized medicine.

It is hard to consider your other points given these basic misalignments.

Is this "machine learning" or "sensors in the hive"? Instrumentation is enough of a challenge, throwing terms like "AI" in the mix makes it smell like bullshit.

"Our cameras watch the dance and re-interpret it in real time Tone Poetry" would be worth calling it machine learning.
I don't read it like this. Alumnis and students are not banned from contributing, as long as they use their private emails. It's the university email domain that is "radioactive". The Assumption here is that someone who uses university email is submitting a patch on behalf of the said university, and that may be in a bad faith. It's up to the said university to show they have controls in place and that they are trustworthy.

It's the same as with employees. If I get a patch request from xyz@ibm.com I'll assume that it comes from IBM, and that person is submitting a patch on behalf of IBM, while for a patch coming from xyz@gmail.com I would not assume any IBM affiliation or bias, but assume person contributing as an individual.

Small drives will probably not see much of a shortage. If you're looking for a 10+tb drive you might run into some issues in the short term.

Things are not either "green" or "not green". Something can be "more green", and just because it's not perfect doesn't mean we shouldn't go down that route instead.

The fact of the matter is that cryptocurrencies are not going away.

You can choose to be angry and resentful of that, or we can try to find ways to minimize the impact they have overall.

Hard drives use a fraction of the power that a CPU/GPU/ASIC uses, and there is just as much production energy and waste involved in those as in hard drives.

Echoing the idea, or restating it, I would say that a lot of responsive design is a failure to design in the first place. If a layout has to change radically between devices, browsers, etc., it most likely needs to be rethought from the ground up.

Well said. Pros and cons both ways, but I suspect proof-of-stake or a similar consensus protocol will win out in the end. Though in the spirit of decentralization, it can't hurt to have a variety of competing consensus protocols across the crypto ecosystem.
I have had several surgeries with everything from a light to general anesthetic. I warn the nurses and doctor beforehand that I have a history of waking and remember previous operations. Most do not believe me. I remember the sound of my wisdom teeth being cracked open and opening my eyes while they were being cut out. I remember scaring the shit out of a nurse and doctor when I woke and started talking mid-procedure. I remember being held down when I kept trying to roll onto my side as if I were asleep. Typically, the reaction is something like "he is awake" followed by a flurry of action, then sleep. I don't know why this happens-- I suspect something makes the anesthesia wear off faster than normal. I also have an issue at the dentist with numbing-- they usually have to hit me twice. If that doesn't work fully, I just tell him to go ahead and I will deal with it.

> I rather recalled it being cited as the reason by Foxconn itself in multiple instances.

It's more plausible that any company will give the more acceptable, easily digestible explanation, rather than the real one.

But really it's the politicians who won, first by banging their chests for all the investments and jobs they created, now for getting an easy out. They can't be blamed for not seeing through any ploy because they can argue Foxconn obviously had good intentions sabotaged by "a misunderstanding" that couldn't have been caught.

It's very unlikely (by that I mean close to impossible) that Foxconn just "blundered", went through many rounds of negotiations, and started building, while genuinely not being aware that the US labor market is different from the Chinese one.
That's really the case for medication, as well. I wish doctors would be better in this regard and pay more attention to individual needs. I understand that would be more difficult and would likely increase costs, but still.

The way it's done now is as you said, "take x mg at y interval" based on the tests done during drug development. If you don't respond to the medication the same way as the majority, you're in for a ride. If x drug doesn't work, try something else until something works. It's a pretty terrible approach, tbh.

It's rare to find a doctor who will keep in mind the many individual factors, often they have a lot of experience (to build that database of knowledge, which sadly is not shared) and actual interest in their work, a surprisingly rare thing.
Great work! Is there a way to share a map state via a URL?
Yes, dpkg-deb is a recent discovery. Out of interest, what am I losing by doing it this way rather than if I followed the official guidelines?
I get what you are getting at, but I'd rephrase it as "cheaters should remain a minority". When we phrase it like that, a number of other solutions might pop up to discourage cheaters from enrolling in the first place (eg. lots of custom projects through which students learn anyway, potentially invalidating the need for a final exam too).

And suddenly, privacy invasion gets off the table quickly (as soon as you are not aiming for 100% non-cheaters, the cost becomes obviously too high for everybody else).

As far as reputation, I'd rather see schools focus on the successful students, which is somewhat done with all those research-paper-grading systems (not a perfect system by any means because of gamification, but at least idea in the right direction), but mostly done with bragging about scientific break-throughts to come out of their students and staff.

Still, what is the purpose of a reputation or "well-respected degree"? The goal should be knowledge and applicability of that knowledge to actual problems in life (known as "jobs"): it's not like anyone accepts any graduate without interviewing them first, which is to say that nobody trusts any school to have done a proper job of evaluating them. Most of those schools don't trust themselves, so they hold interviews for post-graduate studies too! :D

Nobody looks at the "lemons" coming out of a school to consider it a bad school (I am sure you can find plenty from "top" universities too), but on the successful ones. Do the successful ones change with more cheaters at all? (Sure, there is a turning point, but catching all of them is meaningless)
Guilty as charged! Hope it was good for a laugh.

This is what "responsive design" used to mean. I remember being quite confused when people started using it to refer to distinct, non-responsive mobile-vs-desktop views.
It's a worthy goal, but this Guide is a strange document. It's only 335 pages long, yet rather than just presenting an outline of the subject and referring to other sources for detailed treatments, it also tries to present some basic knowledge for each topic itself.

It's hard to see how even the most expert contributors and skilled editors could compress a whole industry of knowledge that much and end up with something useful. Inevitably, much of the specific knowledge presented in the Guide is simplified to the point of arguably being wrong, dated to the point of arguably being obsolete, or just missing the point altogether.

As someone else pointed out, this is only a "guide to" the field of software engineering. It does cite additional references as well (details in appendix C), though there are only 36 references supporting the entire Guide and some of them are old and of debatable relevance to modern software development. This edition of the Guide is nearly a decade old now, so it obviously doesn't include references to good books that have been published more recently and adopt a more objective, evidence-led style when discussing which modern practices actually work that was sorely lacking in most books from a decade or two ago.
Maybe. I've worked in the defense industry in and around software as a developer, designer etc for around 30 years. There's some good detail in there, but i think it's a little dated. Try looking for any material on REST in there. If it got refreshed somewhat i'd have it on my virtual bookshelf for sure.
>I view non-consensual and unannounced penetration testing of the Linux kernel as a Good Thing...

So what other things do you think appropriate to not engage in acquiring consent to do based on some perceived justification of ubiquity? It's a slippery slope all the way down, and there is a reason for all the ceremony and hoopla involved in this type of thing. If you cannot demonstrate mastery of doing research on human subjects and processes the right way, and show you've done your footwork to consider the impact of not doing it that way (i.e. IRB fully engaged, you've gone out of your way to make sure they understand, and at least reached out to one person in the group under test to give a surreptitious heads up (like Linus)), you have no business playing it fast and loose, and you absolutely deserve censure.

No points awarded for half-assing. Asking forgiveness may oft times be easier than asking permission, but in many areas, the impact to doing so goes far beyond mere inconvenience to the researcher in the costs it can extract.

>at the end of the day I want my devices to be secure and at this point they are all running Linux.

That is orthogonal to the outcome of the research that was being done, as by definition running Linux would include running with a new vulnerability injected. What you really want is to know your device is doing what you want it to, and none of what you don't. Screwing with kernel developers does precious little to accomplish that. Same logic applies with any other type of bug injection or intentioned software breakage.

> it's less a question of ethics, and more a question of bad judgement.

I disagree. I think it's easier to excuse bad judgment, in part because we all sometimes make mistakes in complicated situations.

But this is an example of experimenting on humans without their consent. Greg KH specifically noted that the developers did not appreciate being experimented on. That is a huge chasm of a line to cross. You are generally required to get consent before experimenting on humans, and that did not happen. That's not just bad judgment. The whole point of the IRB system is to prevent stuff like that.
You're being downvoted likely because of how naive it sounds when you take what Foxconn says at face value.

Large companies are unlikely to ever tell the truth about their motivations, but they're even less likely to when they were doing something manipulative and dishonest, as Foxconn was here.
Your mistake here is taking a multinational corporation at its word, especially one known for playing games with subsidies in other countries too. These quotes are the cover story from corporate PR, not the truth.
Yes, PaperTerm is niche, but the more you look around, the more you see people suggesting a portable terminal-only device, so I don't think the niche is all too tiny. The e-ink screen and battery life are the killer features.

Plenty of us around here basically live in the terminal and if such a device existed at a reasonable price, I think uptake would be pretty good. It presents itself as a tool, not a do-everything panacea. It could be extended in small ways to fit the distraction-free-writing crowd and the like without compromising on its killer features. Basically a tool for a few niches--sysadmins/devops, developers, embedded device communications, distraction-free writing. Put a good terminal-based browser on a server (e.g., further develop brow.sh) and it opens up a huge number of other niches.
The alternative is that Foxconn is lying, and they never had any intention of actually opening the factory, which I think is a far more likely explanation.
Unrelated, but the image of Scott Aaronson playing with teapots with his children brings me great joy. I suspect that Covid has increased my appreciation for domesticity, I wonder if this is a common trend?

The complaint seems to be about bad implementations of responsive design, as illustrated in the gif. In other news, bad design is bad.

> on non-responsive pages, it is very clear if the window needs to be resized to fit the whole page, but on responsive pages, there isn't anything signaling to the user that hey! the whole page doesn't fit with your current window size

So instead of appreciating that someone tried their best (which, sure, sometimes isn’t good enough) to fit their site to your window, they should have deliberately made it worse just to signal to you that you should make your window fit their site? Like, if the site looks cramped to you, resize the window. If it doesn’t, what’s the problem? This is a super-weird and niche request that would be better solved with a browser extension.
I do technical consulting for a fairly niche industry. Here is what I’ve found in no particular order:

1) when times get bad you will be “expensive” and among the first to be let go.

2) you have to be expensive enough to afford bench time in between gigs. When the economy is good I plan for 85% utilization. Covid had me at 50%, until very recently.

3) if there are multiple consultants and or consulting firms be prepared for political games where each firm tries to position themselves to take other spots in the organization. It will range from limited access to information to outright bus throwing. The best way to stop this is highly detailed accounting of how you spend your day and what roadblocks you face. Send this to your supervisor daily via email. It’s worth the 30 minutes and has helped me on numerous occasions.

4) on a similar token don’t be afraid to mention your success. It doesn’t have to be a brag but if you build some take the credit before someone else tries to.
The lingering physical effects of a body experiencing trauma for that amount of time might be too damaging for some to be willing to accept amnesia as a panacea.

Not sure what you mean, here. Fix the things you can: dress well, shave or trim where needed, shower and wear clean clothes everyday. That you can fix this week. While there are women who like stinky, scruffy fellows, they are outnumbered by the women who don't.

Find a group of friends who are mixed and share your interests. Not necessarily for a dating pool, but because going out and having fun regularly will put a smile on your face and a spring in your step.

You don't have to be a gym rat to attract a nice girl, but finding one will be easier if you move around some. Go for walks regularly, like an hour a day if you can manage. Again, not to get a gym rat body, but to make yourself feel better.

Lastly, get good at something you can share with others. Doesn't matter what it is, so it might as well be something you enjoy. Even programming can be on the list. Again, not so much to impress the ladies, but because it will make you feel better.

If you feel good about yourself, you'll be more likely to attract someone great.

Good luck!
If people insisted on a kernel like that, that's what they'd fund and use. But apparently that's not their priority.
I wonder if the journalist is asking the wrong people.

Instead of interviewing patients supposed to be under drug-induced amnesia, and finding the few who remembered, ask the doctors and nurses who are being asked to restrain patients in distress. A specialist in a procedure that requires light general anesthesia would, if this was true, have done surgery on thousands of people in various degrees of distress.

To me, that would be a pretty heavy secret to carry, and a 'conspiracy' that large would be impossible to conceal. I do agree, though, that pain without memory is pretty much as good as no pain. When you're conscious but unable to remember being conscious, are you still capable of suffering?
This sounds a lot like the „guns do not kill people, people kill people“ argument to me (which, for various reasons, is not a good one in my opinion)
My take from experience and from what I've seen with friends:

- Consulting is great for people with good people skills, but it can turn into hell if you haven't them.

- It's very easy for experienced workers in some shops to take advantage of the "new meat", and basically shove you their work. Be on the look for that situation. If it happens run as fast as you can.

- Find out who are the top performers, get as close as you can. Some of them will just be political hacks, but others are fountains of experience, and learning from them will provide you with invaluable insight into their fields.

- Be ready to ship crappy products. Consultancy is about doing things fast and keeping costs down. Nobody expects perfection, although you'll hear business speak like "excellence" repeated constantly. Your bosses know it, your clients know it. If you are the kind of person that has trouble living with that (i.e. perfectionist), you'll be way happier in product orgs.

- Insist on meeting the client. Engineering consultancy is 20% about making the thing, 80% about understanding the clients needs and managing their expectations. All the big failures I've seen in consulting come from having middleman between the guy building and the guy talking to the client. You don't need to be there all the time, but enough to not be playing telephone with others about what the client wants.
