The article that I linked goes into great detail about what the legal relationship between the employees and the union committee is, what level of control the union committee actually has over the shares, what happens if the company dissolves, and so on. Just saying that the union is a member of the national federation, and that the company is therefore owned by the Communist Party, is grossly inaccurate.

The bottom line is that the union committee acts as a legal vehicle that allows more than 100 employees to hold shares, and that it can't just do whatever it likes with the shares, because of its legal responsibilities to the employees. This structure was used because decades ago, it was not possible (or at least legally tricky) for large private companies in China to issue shares to their employees.

Maybe, but at some point, every single human is partisan. Police officers aren't affiliated with a party, officially, so they are at least semi-neutral. And since local police live in the same community, they're incentivized to be civil to their neighbors. Who would want the scandal of doing something nefarious in their own town's polls?

This is wise, but in the healthcare field, there are some pretty huge trees of things that you need to deal with sometimes. I've been involved with building out a structure a lot like MeSH[0] and some disease trees similar to ICD. Some of my implementations I would definitely do differently now because both the tools and my experience have improved. MeSH's "addresses" even match the ltree syntax, so it would probably make a lot of sense to use that.

That premium for me is going to be higher than they imagine.

Among my coworkers I have an average commute time, and I loose 10-12 hours a week driving to and from work. I figure if I was being paid at my normal rate they'd need to pay me between 25-45%[1] more money just to come in.

Well you said personal MacBook, this topic is about work laptop or phone.

These days (sadly) for any non-small company, all work computers and phones have remote control spyware. If you think that's not the case in your large company, you're probably wrong.

At a recent medium size engineering company, I was constantly surprised how even extremely technical engineers in the company didn't realize all the company spyware that is running on their laptop.
Ok but consider the recent interview this week with Unity CEO John Riccitiello who said:

“real-time 3D content”—a category that includes games and material with game-like interactivity—will account for almost half of all visual digital content by the end of the decade, compared with what he estimates at only about 3% today. [1]

That's in addition to his estimate that more than 15% of Unity development today is outside the gamer space.

Over time I agree with him and think the better part of 3D UI/UX game design elements will make their way in to traditional enterprise software and web stacks. They will be both more functional and beautiful to work with as a result.

From your website [0] I see you like jazz a lot.

So I'd suggest you Egberto Gismonti, a Brazilian musician that released some very good work on the excellent ECM label (same as Jack De Johnette and Keith Jarret). My favorite of his albums are "Sol do Meio Dia" and "Carmo".

I'd also recommend the Argentinian Astor Piazzolla, I love the album "Cumbre-Reunion" that he made with Gerry Mulligan.

It's definitely pitched weirdly. Like it thinks maybe a decision maker is viewing these courses to decide if their team should use Rust or learn from these videos, rather than anybody who'd actually need an introductory video.

The seventh (of 35) video is about variables. It spends some time justifying the existence of variables. But wait, this series claims that it is intended for existing programmers, and it's a stretch to imagine any of that intended audience get value from being told what variables are.

This video introduces mutability, tells viewers Rust's variables are immutable by default, but then it lurches off to talk about constants which, it notes, are also immutable.

Why? To do this the video also needs to introduce boilerplate it doesn't have time to explain, because Rust's constants need an explicit type and neither types nor the type inference used already are explained in this video of course.

It also makes a false claim - which may even have been true when some of the presenters learned Rust, that Rust's constants can't be defined in terms of a function. In fact today they can be defined using const functions, such as String::new() and function execution happens at compile time (even if you've got a foreign target so it needs to behave differently than local native code).

But having introduced constants, and immutability, we don't really learn anything about why Rust has these separately.

And that's it, the whole video. I don't know what value somebody gets from this very brief format.

Many years ago I helped teach Java to CM1xx undergraduates, and although a double (two hours) is probably too much to digest, an hour is at the short end of what I thought was useful to actually get material out of my head and into the students' heads.

I never took that class, it was introduced after I graduated, I learned Standard ML instead, and IMNSHO that was a better choice to learn programming (but industry wanted Java not ML, and industry hires graduates) but even with the much reduced boilerplate in ML, I can't see how I'd have learned anything in five minute chunks. And Rust is not a smaller or easier language than SML.

Take currying. Possible but awkward and rarely important in Rust, yet crucial to ML. I can see a one hour class with either experienced programmers who've never seen first class functions before or newbies who hadn't seen any function at all until last week, both getting to a place where the students see that currying is useful. But in five minutes all you can do is rush through some trivial demo that doesn't reveal even to an attentive audience how powerful this idea actually is.

Are twelve, five minute segments worth an hour? I think emphatically not.

That said, I would like to see someone's attempt at a serious CM1xx style course teaching Programming with Rust as first language. I don't know if that's a good idea, but if anybody tries it I would like to see it anyway.

It's difficult to imagine many of the smaller IoT companies providing support for junk made back in 2010, but I do have a daydream law/policy compromise:

Require all hardware devices to have ongoing security support for twenty years. A company can opt out of that support after three years, provided that they open source everything down to the firmware, and provide documentation and any necessary jailbreaking tools.

also an amendment to bankruptcy law that requires open sourcing propriety digital tech as part of filing.
It's probably strictly worse than other exchanges if we're considering what the point of an exchange actually is. I've tried optimistically viewing LTSE from multiple angles but an exchange just seems like the fundamentally incorrect business model for their supposed goals.
Another aside: I believe part of the argument for moving to "flat design" (Material) was lower file sizes since it's all CSS or SVG, as opposed to possibly dozens of raster images at different resolutions for the multitude of screens. Yet here we are, with our flat design, but apps now gobble up precious storage space because of bloated shipped libraries.
Finally got a home and am finding the same thing here in central Texas. At least with the crap soil the builders use to form the land around the foundation. My plan is to attempt to grow more deep rooted plants so their roots can break up the soil and die off when I trim them. Then aeration and topsoil composting. Still a work in progress so I have no idea if it'll work.

The paper discusses this: https://www.annalsofoncology.org/article/S0923-7534(21)02046...

I believe the name for what you describe is "positive predictive value" or PPV - defined in the paper as the "proportion of true positives among those with a positive test result". According to the paper, their PPV for cancer detection is 44.4% (28.6%-79.9%, presumably the 95% CI).

As a point of comparison, one source I found reports a much lower PPV for the mammogram - single digits on initial screening, rising to 28% post biopsy: https://www.bcsc-research.org/statistics/screening-performan...

The paper notes that PPV can be a more useful metric than sensitivity. Their multi-cancer approach includes some hard to detect cancers that decrease the overall sensitivity, but increase PPV.

Edit: the paper also states: "The extrapolated PPV reported here based on SEER cancer incidence and clinical stage distribution was 44.4% in the screening-eligible 50-79-year age group, which is higher than that of currently recommended screening tests, as PPV is driven by specificity and population incidence."

They also add the caveat that "studies in intended-use populations that will provide more accurate PPV estimates are ongoing".

BJJ was a ton of fun, I did it for 3 or 4 years before moving (just before COVID hit). I've been wanting to get back into it but none of the gyms with a decent reputation (let alone ones with a good reputation) are within a convenient drive of our home. I had actually moved to an apartment in my old city partially to be near my gym (I was tired of driving 30 minutes there and 30 minutes back in the evenings, a 10-minute walk was more convenient; it was also a more interesting area in general though).

Often I hear people supporting scalping as an example of a free market working, and I get that argument.

I'm using WebView2 on a project at the moment, inside a WPF (dotnet core) app.

One thing I've been having some fun with is the ability to host a REST dotnet core API inside the same application and then calling Javascript functions/updating the UI on an HTTP request.

It's very handy if you have multiple applications on the same machine (or the same application on multiple machines on a LAN) and you want them to talk to each other.

Also, I couldn't find a way to build a normal Windows installer with Electron (if there is please let me know), but was able to use Wix to build one for my WPF/WebView2 app.

Smart meters still retain the total overall usage. Even if the power company doesn't read it for 3 months, they'll see the increased usage the next time they come by and apply it to your next bill.
WebAssembly (and by extension Blazor) is for people who want to keep writing in their preferred (non-Javascript) language, but have to target the web.

Electron/Webview2 is for people who want to keep writing Javascript, but have to target the desktop.

The two tools are for opposite groups of people.
