What a bizarre comment. Every patient who goes under general anaesthesia for surgery (life saving or otherwise) is ventilated and usually without issue.

“Laying tubes into the trachea” I presume refers to tracheostomy.

Let’s be realistic here - if you are requiring a tracheostomy and ventilator, or ECMO the you are severely unwell. A blood transfusion, or small risk of infection is the least of your worries at that point.

As with everything in medicine there is a risk:benefit ratio. If you need ECMO you literally cannot oxygenate your own blood even with a ventilator. No ECMO = you die.

No implied. I stated it directly. Pay shit and get shit.

What data, again? "Internal metrics"? They provided literally zero data. The only thing they provided is improved startup on iOS and no data (sic!) from Android.

I pretty much agree with everything you said except that for the most part I think we do that already.

This year’s federal budget has large allocations towards infrastructure projects - e.g. inland rail and port upgrades. That’s on top of the state infrastructure projects already in the pipeline.

Heck even the planned gas plants make sense in terms of keeping energy costs down for industry.

Fundamentally none of that is a path to a specific outcome - such as onshoring of value add industries based on rare earths though. Rather it’s a bet that industry will find a way to utilise the infrastructure.
As a regular shell user I find this quite surprising. The article omits the important point that the shell variable persists after the conditional expression:

$ foo= ; if foo=bar; then echo $foo ; fi ; echo $foo
bar
bar

However this work as expected. foo is only set as an environment variable for the duration of the command (true) in the condition.

$ foo= ; if foo=bar true; then echo $foo ; fi ; echo $foo
(prints two blank lines)

(My examples above use bash rather than the plain Bourne shell).

Now I'm wondering if the shell special-cases this.

Edit: No it doesn't. It just executes the command as normal using execute_command in the same context as the "if" statement, so any assignments take effect in the script, not in any sub-context. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/tree/execute_cmd....
I’m always amazed by how irrelevant the objectives produced by business planning processes can be. It’s so common to hear things like, “yes, we know this won’t ever end up in a product, but it’s in our objectives, so we have to focus on it”. The task was leviathan and impossibly complex, so it doesn’t get accomplished, and then every quarter the goals focus on a smaller piece of this until the group delivers some result, which is celebrated internally but now obviously irrelevant to the business, so everybody gets laid off, except the people that set the objectives in the first place. Yeah, you can easily pour your life into something that is completely meaningless, even to the company that is paying you to do it.
+1 on ISO 8601, but MM/DD/YYYY does have a certain logic to it. The month essentially tells you what time of year it is. "Want to go on vacation in July 10th?" carries less mental overhead than "..on the 10th of July", unless it's currently July (ie, you just say "..on the 10th"). Because "in July" is more meaningful than "on the 10th of any random month".

I was just telling my wife about this yesterday and how Wernher von Braun basically saved the US rocket program; or, at least, it was having major difficulties before, and major successes after he joined up.

And, in addition, the Germans in the 1930s got a lot of good information from Robert H. Goddard, the inventor who built the first liquid-fueled rocket; Werner von Braun said, about him, "His rockets ... may have been rather crude by present-day standards, but they blazed the trail and incorporated many features used in our most modern rockets and space vehicles." There was a large exchange of information in most areas of physics between very illustrious German and American physicists.

I think that having more people doing more science enriches everyone. Without American and German scientists working sharing information, it would have taken a lot longer to have the space technology that we currently do.

That is true even when two countries have political tension, as Germany and America had in the 1930s. China may have political rivalry with America, but science should take a lead in exchanging ideas, learning from each other, and developing new ideas that will enrich all of humanity.
The use of assassination did not come to an end at least until Beria was out of the picture (ironically, through assassination), and, as we know, it has seen a resurgence lately. The Nobel judges were not aware of the latter, of course, but their concern was not entirely irrational.

> Are FAANG companies the median for tech salaries? If that's the case most companies are doomed.

FAANG salary is the median for good developer salary, yes. After all, why would you work for less if you're good enough?

> Everyone else is underpaying if you're comparing them to FAANG.

You're getting somewhere.

> Also by your definition, Apple and Amazon are notoriously cheap too.

Pretty sure they're paying bigger salary than coinbase does. At least their product is more interesting than crypto dashboard, maybe that's how they compensate for "shitty" pay.
>Wall street is hot for crypto but it's having a hard time justifying the pollution that goes with it.

I'm not so sure Wall St. is concerned with the environment, possibly there is a small fraction of ethical investors but historically the markets put profits first. There are plenty of less than environmental/ethical stocks being traded and held in mutual funds.

Eg: NYSE:XOM,HAL,NOC,NC,MON
> but the mugshot and charges will probably be findable on the web for years and years

The injustice is that this person was charged in the first place. The court system is public, and must remain that way. We could remove the mugshot, but that won’t help people like the one you’ve described.
that is what happen when you don't have a corrupt government, you reach new ages every decades rather than centuries
I've written tons of Rust and C++ over the last 6 years, both in the context of large, complex codebases with hard real-time performance requirements. I've also managed teams where I've had to 'train' new engineers and I can say that it is categorically false that Rust is easier to learn than C++, it's not even close.

From my experience, it takes any new engineer, even if they have significant Rust experience, at least 3x the amount of time to get comfortable with a new Rust codebase than it does with a new C++ codebase. BUT, once you get past a certain stage of complexity, and everyone gets accustomed to the Rust codebase, managing the Rust codebase becomes a lot easier than the C++ one.
I read the transcripts of his speech. It was more of a pro-Taiwan rally than anything. He's very old and obviously very proud of what he's built. But a lot of what he said made no sense. Especially the parts about Americans being lazy and using an example of being willing to work through-the-night for the good of the company. This was from the 1980s when Apple and Microsoft engineers were literally sleeping under their desks.

Again, he's an old guy with a lot of Taiwanese nationalistic pride. It's not much more than that.
> Let’s be realistic here - if you are requiring a tracheostomy and ventilator, or ECMO the you are severely unwell.

Obviously. So why use these invasive procedures if a less invasive one could do the job with less risk?

> A blood transfusion, or small risk of infection is the least of your worries at that point.

Did you come straight from the 19th century or something? Hospital acquired infections kill hundreds of thousands of people every year. That's hardly a small worry.

> As with everything in medicine there is a risk:benefit ratio.

No shit. That's why there's interest in alternative procedures with less risk for the same benefit.

> If you need ECMO you literally cannot oxygenate your own blood even with a ventilator.

Unless… there's a new method that bypasses the lungs. Did you read the linked article?

In the US, though, I don't think we have ever been forced between these two scenarios: we have always had enough vaccine doses for people in our high risk classes. The question thereby is more whether it is better to have all the essential workers and everyone over 65 years old along with maybe third of everyone else with a single dose or to have the first two classes of people fully dosed... and "I dunno", right? ;P

I think there are a significant number of general anesthesia patients who don't get intubated, but the big issue is that being intubated for four hours is very different from being intubated for two weeks, which is very likely to kill you. (And, yes, not breathing will also kill you. But intubation was working so badly that hospitals developed proning protocols for covid patients as a less fatal alternative which was less likely to kill them.)

If squirting oxygenated perfluorodecane up your ass for two weeks can keep you alive more often than proning or intubation, that'd be a great improvement. Could save a lot of lives. Buy Dow Chemical stonks.

My best and worst colleagues were at the same company.

Best colleague: Knew how to time manage. Knew what was priority and what wasn’t. She also knew half her job was managing her boss’s expectation. She was never late for any work because she knew how to manage up.

Worst colleague: A programmer that played more political games and sucked up to the boss than work. I mentioned his code was not up to par multiple times. The boss ignored me because the other colleague loved sucking up to him. He kept on talking behind my back. After I left, they couldn’t launch a product for 1 full year. Turns out I was the only one lifting the entire team.

Decisions get agreed upon in meetings.

The actual decisions have been made in the days, weeks, sometimes months leading up to the meeting. And the amount of human input going into them can vary from very little to gargantuan.

I believe there is even a saying that before an important meeting takes place the people required to attend it will hold one or more unofficial meetings to make up their minds about the topics on the important agenda.

FWIW, in the United States, it isn't clear we are ever going to herd immunity... like we are at the point where the New York Times is just reporting on the idea that we've lost that battle. So I can feel sympathy for the strategy of getting our essential workers and old people--at lease the ones willing to take a vaccine--double-doses before moving on to people who are less likely do die from the disease.
My Robot Vacuum Cleaner Is Afraid of Sunshine
I’ve read quite a lot of the logrocket posts recently and the writing is always a satisfying read. Logrocket and fasterthanli.me are my two favourite resources for rust opinion stuff. Opinionated but fair rather than ideological.

For my first brush with rust i decided i’d do some graph processing - a topic i’ve historically written buggy code for and i wondered if all the hype around rust’s compiler might help. Experienced rust people know where this is going but suffice to say i WOULD recommend this for someone new to rust if you want rapid exposure to what the borrow checker can and can’t do for you, for a rapid introduction to Rc & Arc, along with Box etc. I think i got a quicker introduction to rust by picking a hard use case.
I understand the message they're trying to convey, but a better title would perhaps be "things you can't do without unsafe Rust".

There's nothing inherently bad or wrong about unsafe Rust. It just leaves it up to you to manage invariants like lifetimes and aliasing contraints – just like in C.
And still cheaters plague most public servers of the games I played.

The best one I understand and agree. If one tries to work only on "good" ideas he might never work on anything. Trying stuff out is super important even if it is a bit silly idea to work out.

Worst, the way it is written left me a bit confused.

I understood:

If someone wants "perfect code" because of "software craftsmanship". Where "users are stupid" because they should learn how to use the software. It is really bad way to do software.

Quotations mean beliefs of person having such of a approach.
I think Denite doesn't get as much attention because it doesn't have sane defaults and instead requires you to configure everything yourself using a somewhat... peculiar configuration system. It's also known for sometimes breaking your workflow because why not.

I know I ignored it for a long time before I finally decided rolling up my sleeves in order to make it usable. I use it these days and am fairly satisfied, but there are still sharp corners which introduce friction continually because I dread having to investigate how to configure it.
Only a tiny amount of it though. It's almost all made from air.
What I appreciate coming from D is fine grained control of mutability. In Rust it is all or nothing. You cannot have a mutable container of immutable items. In D a string as a mutable array of immutable characters, for example. You can append things but not change the existing parts.
It’s more nuanced than that. They lend, sure, but the terms often involve them flying in their own labor force from the mainland to do the building - with Chinese materials of course - meaning they have basically no skin in the game. Then, when the host country defaults on its obligations the PRC owns the infrastructure they built, and leverage their largesse to hold onto the infrastructure until it makes sense, or incorporate it into new plans.

I work with some UN and Bretton Woods institutions lending money to Africa and I can tell you that IMF/WB are also lending us money. They take "your hard earned savings" and come in here and invest her so that they can make future profits and grow the saving funds. If USA give you his money, as head of state you need to understand that it is not for the joy of it but that money need to yield interest or you will be toppled. This is not your money, it's American Savings! China is doing the same, just blatantly and with the bashing for the west.

Trillions?

That's the harm to the economy. That's not the cost of masks.

Providing everyone in the US with two high-quality N95-equivalent masks each week for a year would be at most $60 billion. ($2 per mask * 100 masks * 300 million people, at retail prices).

We didn't do that. Our kids have a half-year of learning loss. Small businesses around me closed, and a ton of people fell behind on mortgages. We're looking at pretty high inflation from how we've expended our money supply, eventually. Etc.

Part of the reason these things look like bad use of funds is that people don't do ROI calculations, and confuse millions, billions, and trillions. A trillion is a thousand times more than a billion, and a million times more than a million. But to everyone a MILLION dollars looks like a big number, as does a TRILLION dollars.

People also confuse the ridiculously high effectiveness of proper masks with the fairly low effectiveness of cloth masks.

I like rust a lot, but coming from C++ and python there are times inheritance saves so much time enabling quickly creating small variations in classes. In rust you have to duplicate all the base logic, or abstract it to another common type to use composition. Which is fine but it’s painful at times knowing that time sink lies ahead. I understand everyone hates OO now but I still miss it at times when it would save me a lot of effort.
