> What I mean is that it's a wonderful cost-saving tactic which doesn't imply better care.

I don't agree.

It is not mutually exclusive to have a midwives dealing with childbirths and Doctors providing excellent care when needed. The midwives perform the scheduled ultrasound and if there was any inkling of complication, they would have immediately involved a Doctor into the process(I was told so, but my son didn't need any). This way the Doctors are engaged only when necessary thereby increasing chances of better care and not wasting their time handling sore throats or clipping rich people's toe nails.
> I could rely on my mother's health insurance until age 26 (thanks Obama)

I don't know the particulars of what law enabled this, but I used my dad's health insurance until I was 26 as well, before Obama's first term.

They can report it. The thing is, most simply don't report it because it's not required. (The emergency approval requires it, but doesn't define how long after vaccination it is required)

My kid had an SVT 2 days after receiving 4 simultaneous vaccines. No prior issues, no family history, no cause determined by the doctors. They said that couldn't possibly be related, but when asked for any data/explanation on that theory they had none. (Later doctors said there could be some sort of connection) So they're telling me that they don't know what the cause is, but that it's definitely not the vaccines, even though there's no evidence to rule that out... yeah, ok. There's the possibility of coincidence, but it's astronomically small. The only way to tell one way or the other is to have the data from the larger population, which isn't happening because it's not being reported. I had to submit the report myself in that case.

I wanted to crunch the numbers myself, but the major issue is that even a small number of unreported cases will greatly skew the results when dealing with rare issues. You basically need anonymized medical records (I know, those don't really exist) so that you have a known population size and any medical treatment would have been recorded even if not reported.
How was it a success story? Sure many used it, but the project wasn’t successful in terms of long term survival.

I think CentOS had failed had Redhat not maintained it.

Hopefully Rocky Linux will have better luck and more community involvement. It is likely, given the number of companies that have come to depend on CentOS, but I would not use Rocky Linux in production for critical system in the next two to five years.

Social media has made the entirety of humanity aware that civilization has been built on its entirety by a discriminatory principle, in all aspects, and all of them can be traced back to a genetic discrimination.

When this is positioned against humans attempt at transcending nature (with laws, politics and science) it becomes a matter of choice.

At the degree that our species is able to choose their sexual partners, the genetic "gap" of what we deem attractive will accelerate the same way dog breeds had been "evolving" since it became popular to breed them, which is just a couple hundred years.

Google has proven before that they can't be trusted this way. Even when accidents happen their first instinct is to cover it up.

> Google exposed the private data of hundreds of thousands of users of the Google+ social network and then opted not to disclose the issue this past spring, in part because of fears that doing so would draw regulatory scrutiny and cause reputational damage, according to people briefed on the incident and documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

Ah, nice. The installer mess was one of the reasons I steered clear of 20.04. (Along with the netplan vs cloudinit dumpster fire, and Canonical's rabid pro-snap stance).

"Is your second paragraph really true?"

Partially, on a PC. The difference, on a PC, between a high end NVMe SSD and a SATA SSD is minimal for most use cases; small enough that an average user won't perceive much difference. The workloads in question (booting, loading a program, compiling code, etc.) involve a lot of operations that aren't bound by IO performance (network exchanges, decompressing textures, etc.) and haven't been optimized to maximize the benefit of high performance storage so the throughput and IOPS difference of the storage device don't entirely dominate.

CentOS Stream is rolling between minor releases, not between major releases. So e.g. a CentOS Stream 8 system won't roll over to CentOS Stream 9.

I do believe they're working on making major version upgrades easier, but they would still not be automatic.

None of the packages should be "unstable" barring any major bugs, (or maybe proprietary kernel modules that expect a very specific kernel version).
It could be plausible, but it still gives me "unobtainium" vibes.
I think its pretty cool how quickly the audio is spoken too. I bet that saves quite a bit of time over a slower natural tempo.
> The problem with mandating this is that it doesn't really express anything - the semantics are the same as `b = a;`. And there's a cost because it's quite verbose.

Sure, but at least the problem is back to "should conversions/casts be implicit or explicit?", rather than "I cannot do what I want with explicit casts".

> If what you want to express is "I know b and a have different storage sizes"

You may not even know this (e.g., in generic code), and if you did want to ensure different storage sizes specifically, then you want a (static) assert.

> eg if you typo `b` for `a`, then `b = static_cast<decltype(b)>(b);` is still accepted.

That would also apply to the version with implicit casts/conversions, wouldn't it?

Ryan Moulton's Articles kind of a unique combination of tech and nature: https://moultano.wordpress.com/
The original promise of separation of concerns wasn't simply a code organization scheme, it was that we would be able to write composable software where components could be added or replaced with minimal systemic impact. We were going to be able to drop in new UIs without touching the BL or fix a bug in a component in one place and have it fixed everywhere, etc. The problem was that SoC, and the other various concepts from SOLID and design patterns didn't quite accomplish that - inter-dependencies remained and only became more difficult to reason about. Chasing this fantasy led object oriented programming down a path of increasingly complicated frameworks to try to manage and hide these dependencies until one would find themself thinking more about program structure and writing more plumbing code than doing actual work. Worse, now you have all the bits of logic necessary to understand how something works spread across multiple files so you have to have a system-wide understanding of a systems organization and understand the workings and vagaries of the half dozen or so different frameworks that were used to make it all seem magically loose-coupled. I'm sure there's some <insert name>'s Law somewhere that states it better, but it boils down to the fact that for any given set of tasks you can only reduce the complexity so much and anything else is just moving the complexity around, not eliminating it. I think there's something to be said for having all the logic you need to understand an interface in one or two files and focusing on making that as clean as possible, which is exactly what (at least some) of the 4GLs in the past seemed to do well, or at least made possible.

Hartl sells books, not articles, which he sells as "tutorials" (classes). You're not meant to read and enjoy just one chapter of his book "Learn Enough Git to Be Dangerous" in isolation; he doesn't just send out a "deep dive" article each month on whatever he wants.

It is absolutely possible to make money selling classes/tutorials (e.g. via Udemy or any of a variety of other online class platform), but MDN is already committed to making its classes/tutorials available for free https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Tutorials

It's an essential component of MDN Plus that they have to say exactly what they say in TFA: "Nothing is changing with the existing MDN Web Docs content — this content will continue to be free and available to everyone."

As a result, MDN can't practically sell books OR classes. What's left? VIP access.

1.5 C sounds like no big deal to me, being the uneducated American I am in terms of the metric system. Once you plug that into a calculator, I get "34.7" F. HOLY CRAP

That's a big change. Imagine Denver's average temp in December is currently 20 and with the change it would be 40-50. That's a MASSIVE change in Denver's ecosystem.

Skiing might not be a thing in Colorado in 5 years. We might be able to grow oranges soon....

- edit -

Apparently I am stupid. The Google Calculator uses the formula: `(1.5°C × 9/5) + 32 = 34.7°F` where as 0C is 32 F.

Therefore it's a 2.7 F change...

Most countries have a series of 'tests' to determine tax residency.

I can't remember all the details, but a lot of it comes down to substantial ties. i.e. spouse, family, primary residence, secondary residences, number of days spent in the country, number of years away from country, etc.

Countries solve the issue of 'competing' for an individuals tax residency through tax treaties which lay out the method in which the tests are applied and who would 'win' in a tie-break situation. This avoids the issue of double taxation but means you'll be subject to tax somewhere in any one year.

That's likely where the 180 days figure comes from as it's one of the most broad and substantive tests to determine tax residency, but it's not the only metric used. The actual details are more nuanced.

For example, if you give up tax residency in one country but then spend 179 days there each year to visit your spouse and kids – they'll probably claim you're tax resident.
Well, it was a good run everybody...
I cannot answer this question satisfyingly. I read it somewhere and found tangential information by google search - but nothing very specific.
Used to work in robotics. The QA folk were obviously very much sticklers for the full process of enabling the hardware interlocks before getting near the moving bits. One time a manager got mad at them for taking so long going through the full interlock process while repeating a failure mode. He therefore went up to the machine saying "look, it failed so it's stopped, that's how the code works!" At that point our beta version of our CI requisitioned that bot (as the interlock wasn't the only process corner that the manager was trying to cut the bot wasn't marked as reserved in the CI system), it started initializing and broke his arm.

I'm just glad that ultimately he was the only one who faced physical consequences for his poor choices. And thankful that the consequences weren't that bad at the end of the day; a broken arm is way better than a cracked open skull.
I think the core problem here is giving away your powers to amoral corporations.
>Ever notice how the front-desk staff that serves as your docs' connection to the rest of the healthcare sector generally suck?

Compare this to for-profit clinics like One Medical, where your appointment typically starts exactly on time and front desk staff are courteous, helpful, and responsive to calls and emails. This holds true to every location of theirs I've used across major US metros (NYC, SF, PHX, CHI) [1].

Anecdotally, one time I forgot my eyedrops on a trip to SF. I tried to get a hold of my ophthalmologist's office back in NYC so they could send a prescription to a pharmacy in SF. On hold for 25 minutes, disconnected, tried one more time then gave up. Opened One Medical app, requested a virtual visit, had a Dr on a video call in 3 minutes who confirmed my eye drops and submitted the prescription to the pharmacy I was sitting in.

I'm not sure how much of it is down to profit motive and I'm sure there are tons of other confounding factors, but it's hard to not notice the huge difference in experience.

[1] I work in the healthcare industry and I'm a happy One Medical customer; I initially got it as a perk thru work but upon leaving I coughed up the money to continue using them.

Is there a service that helps identify property in northern climates (Canada/Russia/Alaska/etc.) that will be significantly more 'livable' in say 10-30 years time as the climate continues to warm? Would be a lucrative opportunity/ help young people plan for a more realistic future.
That's not how this works at all.
Yes, I totally agree that the argument should be about "... what speech should be considered 'purely disagreeable' (which is a purely subjective term) and what consequences are valid". As I said in my very first comment, "... the argument should actually be about what consequences are warranted in response to speech".

> I personally believe hateful speech should have consequences, even when it isn't explicitly and immediately threatening harm on a specific individual

My problem with that is it makes large swaths of modern left politics uncriticizable, since any criticism of those politics will be construed as hate. Right wing politics were also once uncriticizable, in the "war on christmas" days, but that has since faded.
I don't know if I'm following. Are you saying you don't believe this change is a big deal for the climate?
Federal law forces US unions to represent non members. "Right to work" laws force unions to do it for free in most states. The rest allow unions to charge agency fees to cover the mandated services. Not full dues.
That is not always the case. If they have industries that depend on the cold, they may not wish it warmer. If their livelihood depends on glaciers that retreat they may not wish it warmer. If they depend on animal life that would migrate or go extinct, they may not like it. If they are on the coast that will end up flooded, they may not like it.

It is probably the case that there will be some people who "win" a bit as the planet warms, but on the whole I'm not sure anyone will be entirely better off for it in the long run.
I know you're being snide, but a warming planet is a profound concern for billions of low-income people across south and southeast Asia, Africa, Central America and low-lying Pacific territories.

Yeah, that's because your calculation is off by 95% :) It's roughly 3 degrees F.

Hahaha okay I have to share a similar story now of where I've actually seen this weaponized. Also not my code but somewhat related.

Somewhere in the range of 10-15 years ago I played Guild Wars somewhat competitively. I was in one of the top-20 PvP guilds, and most of the top PvP guilds were pretty friendly with each other. Very rarely, we'd be good enough friends with an enemy guild that we would know their Teamspeak or Ventrilo server credentials.

So one day, we're doing our nightly battles like always and we get matched up against one of our rival / best friend guilds. A couple minutes into the fight, one of our Mesmers says

"Hey uh guys. So.... This might be a bit much. But I know their Voice Chat login. I could spam their server right now."

"Do it."

So we all hear the "user left" voice thing, 20 seconds later, "user joined". And apparently what he did was open the text-to-speech tool, meant for users without microphones, and entered "!@#$%^&*()_" except copy pasted a thousand times.

Which means the other guild heard from the robotic text-to-speech: "user joined. User Ha Ha Got U says Exclamation Mark, At Symbol, Pound Sign, Dollar......."

They're talking trash about how could we sink so low in the global chat in-game when suddenly we hear "user joined. User Ha Ha Got U Back says Exclamation Mark, At Symbol, Pound Sign, Dollar......."

There was a way to disable the text-to-speech on your client, but none of us knew that at the time. The text-to-speech rambling continued the entire night on both our servers and neither guild was able to speak. Both guilds thought it was hilarious but agreed never again.
I thought for sure this was going to be about the Dead Kennedy's album Frankenchrist.
> Reviews would become way more positive and useless.

In my corner of CS, there are plenty reviews of debatable use that are very negative.
In fact, I have a pet hypothesis that the average score of the lower scoring but accepted papers is negative (scale from -3 to 3). And I wouldn't be surprised if the median paper's score was negative.

Positive uselessness doesn't seem like that much worse.
