In fact, when you look at the progression from OpenGL 1.1 to 3.0 Core to Vulkan (and the parallel evolution of Direct3D), you'll see that with every step along the way, the APIs became more and more flexible by providing less and less convenience. Just look at the code it takes to render one triangle using each one of these APIs. The difference is that by the time you manage to render a triangle using Vulkan, you're also mostly set up to do very advanced rendering tricks that would be plain impossible with OpenGL 1.1 and would require some contortions to get working on OpenGL 3.0.

The Untold Story of SQLite With Richard Hipp - CoRecursive Podcast

I worked at one place where 50+ IT people were happy as clams but 30-somethings (like myself at that time) felt thwarted.

I knew one guy who got one of those fancy hair colorings done where they put Aluminum foil in your hair to put in streaks of white in and also gained some weight hoping he would be taken more seriously. I think he left and got an MBA.

Since then I worked at quite a few startups where I might have been the oldest guy, in one case I was respected (more than I realized at the time), in the other case I leaned in too hard to the C-levels who were pretty immature (I am sure the investors thought so) and it didn’t last.
>> Elucidating confounding variables and controlling for them is the entire fucking job of a scientist.

No. This is methodology. The job of a scientist is to advance scientific knowledge. This is as vague as it needs to be.

Popper didn't do science. He did philosophy. He also did a fine job of formalising methods, and abstracting the methods scientists were using into a Scientific Method. This scientific method is a great achievement and a wonderful, multipurpose probe. That does not mean it fits in all orifices. The job of a scientist is not to continue hammering until the probe fits.

Let the government compete with private insurers, and that will be a step in the right direction. The further steps that meaningfully reduce per-capita spending... those are all way harder, which is saying something.
> 1. GitHub has a valid license to distribute it (as a result of their TOS)

From the GitHub TOS someone posted:

"... license to use, display, and perform Your Content through the GitHub Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub's functionality (for example, through forking)"

I'm not sure if cloning from GitHub to your local computer falls under "reproduce Your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub's functionality" (due to "solely on GitHub" part).
That sounds like a good set up. I've used Mobaxterm (now VcXsrv) to run graphical apps inside of WSL but that would totally work with a separate Linux machine too. The user experience was really good. Google is hinting that this should be doable even if you want to forward apps from macOS to your main Windows box. Only downside is the taint factor is still there too since it's SSH'ing from your personal box into your work box.
Yeah, I seem to have made the mistake of actually reading the documentation. I think that's mostly your fault though, for making the documentation so interesting and accessible.
There are many other challenges, like the fact that you need very pure water which if you use salt water you need to desalinate it first and make sure it has little to no impurities. Then you need to both select and engineer the structure of your electrodes to maximize surface area whilst allowing for easy H2 extraction, you need to match your electrolyte material to your electrodes as well as figure out how to extract the other byproducts without them gunking your setup until something goes boom.

There is some research into autoionization of water but that has its own massive engineering challenges you need quite high temperatures or pressure to make that even remotely feasible and that process needs to be very controlled because you don’t want free hydrogen and oxygen floating around.
"The country that spends the most GDP per capita has the worst outcome for life expectancy of any industrialized nation"

This does not imply the quality of the medical services is to blame. One issue of the US could be that people have too much surplus (the US is the richest country of the world), so they can eat a lot and get fat (they also have cars and don't have to exercise). Obesity then shortens their lifespans.

"There is no inherent monetary value to a human life in the capitalist system, as the data clearly demonstrates"

That's just stupid. I bet even the US spends a lot of money on protecting lives, for example install bridges and traffic lights. There is an established science to calculating the value a society assigns to human lives.

"You can't consume digital goods without a physical computer. You can't get a service that is magically free of dependencies on infrastructure or electricity. "

If a doctor saves your life, you have "consumed" his service. Maybe saving more lives would consume marginally more resources. But that also is not a given, as for example the production of medication can become more efficient. Look at the price of penicillin, or at artificial insulin. Iirc in the beginning insulin was extracted from tons of animal livers, a very wasteful process that has been replaced with something much more efficient. So now you can save more diabetic people at a fraction of the energy.

Thalidomide might be what you're thinking of. Didn't realise until now that it wasn't approved in the US until the risks were well known.
But in the UK at least "thalidomide was (supposed to be) safe too" is an easy argument you'll hear fairly often.

>... a subsidiary of Distillers Co. Ltd (now part of Diageo plc), marketed thalidomide throughout the UK, Australia and New Zealand, under the brand name Distaval, as a remedy for morning sickness. Their advertisement claimed that "Distaval can be given with complete safety to pregnant women and nursing mothers without adverse effect on mother or child ... Outstandingly safe Distaval has been prescribed for nearly three years in this country."

>Experts estimate that thalidomide led to the death of approximately 2,000 children and serious birth defects in more than 10,000 children, about 5,000 of them in West Germany
Well a lot of those countries don't have money. Lebanon is pretty much bankrupt for example. Iran is close to that. Iraq, Syria, Lybia, Sudan, many many super fragile countries. It's not that the problem isn't technically solvable, it is, but many of these countries are on the verge of social and economic collapse.

Everyone knew early on that Saygus was a fraud. It’s more amazing that he continued to collect investor money for a second generation phone after clearly never producing the first generation.

Onlyfans is quite likely fueled by impulse buys if it takes more than 10 seconds to pay many people would reconsider. If it takes a trip to some shady convenient store at 2am to put your debit card into some shady looking ATM and then transfer it into a wallet manually no one is going to do that.

Onlyfans is really not a private cryptos anything. It’s $6b per year, the yearly purchase rate of Mastercards network is about $1.5 trillion.

It is not going put MasterCard out of business just like PornHub didn’t.

One of the bigger root causes for the price discrimination and lack of price transparency, and general convoluted-ness is that there is far greater demand for healthcare than there is supply, and this is how the US rations its healthcare.

Medicaid pays providers less than Medicare because, politically, the population that needs Medicaid (poor people) does not have the political power that Medicare (old people) does.

By paying providers less, there is less incentive to see Medicaid patients, and it effectively limits the amount of healthcare poorer people receive. However, the convoluted nature of the process gives politicians plausibly deniability, since people generally do not understand how care is being rationed.

Similarly, employees of large businesses get access to health insurance at pre tax prices, while employees of small businesses do not since businesses with less than 50 employees are not required to offer employer subsidized health insurance.

ACA did greatly assist with the price transparency by standardizing what health insurance has to cover though, and by creating healthcare.gov, so we are moving in the right direction.

However, the other end of this is that the government uses managed care organizations (MCOs, health insurers), to ration care by having different rules for approving who gets what care. For example, the government pays for both Medicaid and Medicare. But Medicaid is via state governments’, and each state will hire a certain MCO to implement the Medicaid plan’s rules for that state.

And the rules of that plan will state patient has to follow so and so healthcare regimen to get X treatment, and so doctors have to follow that specific course of treatment in order to get paid for that patient. So the state will have different rules for the Medicaid patient (more strict, less reimbursement) than the federal government will for Medicare and Tricare patients (less strict, more reimbursement.

Meanwhile, people will bitch at MCOs (insurers) not approving payment or doctors will complain about having to get pre authorizations for providing healthcare, when in reality, the rules are not being made by insurers, but rather by the government themselves who then contract with MCOs to implement those rules, and take the heat from the public for doing so.

Yeah, it's definitely a matter of preference.

For me, VS Code fails to be productive in a myriad of other ways which I cannot enumerate now because I always forget them, and vim is the productive powerhouse I know inside out, where everything makes sense.

So due to this I had the will to investigate and make this work the first time, which was painful back in the day, but now it feels rather out-of-the-box and automatic, especially since nvim 0.5.0 was released.

I still sometimes fire up VS Code when I get frustrated with something, but I always find something else broken there and go back to nvim.

One thing I'm eyeing though is Onivim 2, though it's not ready yet.

My hunch is that the best odds to get about as far in the US by bus would be the NE corridor, specifically from Washington to NY (which is about 225 miles / 362 km). Most of these cities have transit authorities that cover their metro region, and they'll probably all have bus service into the adjacent one.
>>>> Yet, we as humans do manage to make sense of the world. We run schools, companies. We learn more about how to do those things. Formal studies are an important part of learning about how to do those things. Scientific mindset and methodologies are useful to this. It's a lot better than just philosophizing the whole thing. The type of knowledge we gain, OTOH, isn't like F=MA. It never will be.

I think it has to to be held out as a possibility that there is actually no science behind how we run schools and companies. One way this could happen is if non-scientific ideas simply overwhelm the ones that are grounded in good science.

The fact that it isn't like F=MA also means it will never advance beyond producing collections of amusing factoids that are unrelated to one another and potentially false.
In the dc-boston metro you can get a bus to all major cities and most smaller regional ones without much trouble.

But with a car you can drive from Baltimore to Montreal in like 10hrs so...
> If you ever pay for medical services without insurance you’ll find that places can suddenly give you a straight price.

I have tried many times to get a doctor’s office to give me a price in writing for a completely preventative visit where there could be no possibility of variance in service rendered, and I have always received an answer of no.

Edit: so now I just assume any healthcare I get will cost me up to my out of pocket maximum, and budget for that yearly.
> A while back Rubenerd wrote that he’s not sure that UNIX won

IMHO UNIX didn't win, somewhat UNIX compatible systems did (like Linux) and UNIX was one of many stepping stones/tools/gears for them do archive what they did archive, and only that. Through yes especially at the beginning it was an important gear.

I would even argue that UNIX never did had a chance to win, it always was only one gear of many in systems with increasingly more gears which become increasingly less dependent on that gear (through it's still quite useful so no reason to remove it).
For comparison, in 2019 the top four were (OECD data, in 2019 PPP-adjusted USD): USA - 11.1k, Switzerland - 7.7k, Norway 6.6k, Germany 6.6k. The next ten countries spent between 5k and 6k. The WHO data is similar. It's hard to get up-to-date number on healthcare outcomes, but the best countries seem to be spending in the range of 3k to 5k.

Agreed. The Middle East spans 15+ countries, 5 timezones and has a population of 300m+ .... so saying the "middle east" is running out of water definitely lacks specificity
A lot of exceptions apply.

Sana'a, the capital of Yemen, is located at an altitude of 2,250 meters (approx. 7 thousand feet). It has almost three million people. Pumping required amounts of water from sea level to such heights is quite a challenge.

Tehran is at 1200 meters. Tabriz, 1350 meters. Mashhad, 1000 meters altitude and far from the sea.

When we either

A. adjust our social norms to make the world at large less punishing for pedants, “well, actually”, and those who do not “read the room” — when people are more willing to accept “well that was poorly framed but true” as a valid reason to keep someone in leadership.

B. Make humans better at social interactions in general without somehow introducing tradeoffs.

As a business academic, I can absolutely confirm that popular press attention corrupts us just as much as power corrupts political leaders. I can’t speak outside of b-schools, but suspect it’s no different.

If anyone is privy to a platforms that would allow me to share proprietary data such that skeptics can run aggregated statistical analyses whilst limiting the ability to surface results with insufficient samples (to prevent scrapping the the proprietary data—if not proprietary then there is no excuse for not fully sharing) please comment!

Must haves:

* Easily palatable settings for data obfuscation (non-tech corporate GC must be able to grok the level of obfuscation)

* Trivial sliders to change level of obfuscation (eg min number of observation to run a “test”)

* Messaging system to facilitate requests and permission granting between authors and skeptics

* Enterprise-level data retention and documentation, such that changes to the “official” data set area reflected publicly

* Cloud based R, Python, Stata functionality (else the solution would have to run locally in such a way that the granular data cannot be accessed directly on local machine—and this would likely be a non-starter for corporate GC’s). Ideally, one could reuse their local license for proprietary software (eg Stata), if not then said vendors will delight in an additional “attach” license to charge researchers even more (see below, there are beacoup bucks that will gladly be spent on this)

Business model: researcher’s academic institution would (gladly) pay (if you get pushback, call the university’s academic HR department, find out who is in charge (Ie associate provost of research or HR) and email them asking they are prepared we’re to shine a spotlight on their own “Andrew Bird and Stephen Karolyi” like scholars). They will call you in 5 min.

GitHub will acquire you post-POC upon enlisting 2-3 major universities (again, I know what higher-Ed procurement cycle is like, contracts will be signed record time). If GitHub fails, Google scholar will acquire you.

I don't have anything to add, but I recently received a $701 bill for each my children's covid tests ($1402 total). We took them to their pediatrician, part of a hospital. Insurance covered $0.

If the insurance can decide not to pay, guess who else has that option?!
The software didn't raise a false positive though, by my reading.

It identified it as a firework a mile away! The humans at the software company, REclassified it as a gunshot at Williams' location.

Regarding the topic of career longevity as a software engineer:

Focus on combining your software engineering skills with delivering value in a specific, core competency.

That is to say:

Good software engineers tend to focus on being good at programming, and all of the details that venture entails (e.g., mastery of specific languages, knowledge of specific ways of operating in a given framework, IDE, or tool, etc.).

Better software engineers are capable of all of the preceding, plus the ability to apply a deeper level of problem-solving ability that has been laser-focused by their experience in the art.

Finally, superlative software engineers are capable of all of the preceding, plus the ability to leverage those skills to deliver value as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in a specific domain.

I believe that you have to be more than just a programmer if you want to maximize your career's longevity, and its associated compensation package.
If you could anywhere it'd be the east side (think starting in NY), itd be a lot easier if coaches and trains were allowed though.
Several years back this happened here in India, with the first mass produced, battery-operated car, the Tata Nano. Many of them caught fire and later for political reasons more than anything else, the entire line became a failure. But now electric vehicles are making a comeback thanks to ever-rising fossil fuel prices.
This argument is invalid because America is not a real 1st world country. It's only rich due to historical legacy of the dollar after WW2.
