"Haven was a not-for-profit, healthcare-focused entity created through a joint venture by American companies Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase. The entity's stated goals were to improve healthcare services and lower costs for the three companies' employees, while making primary care easier to access, making prescription drugs more affordable and rendering insurance benefits easier to understand."

If you don't want portability design exclusively for Docker and specific Linux distributions. Otherwise see what happens when compiling on other OS families like BSD and Windows. Popular tools are broadly available on many different platforms. Why? Because of portability and keeping the number of dependencies as low as possible and optimized to be compiled by numerous compiler vendors. Sticking to Open Standards and time proven RFC's improves the projected lifetime of tools like rsync, curl and ssh to name some examples. Projects going for the narrow audiences and assume the availability of Docker, systemd and dbus limits the users of the software or tool at hand. What's going on with the number of name resolvers on Linux. These truly make simple things less opaque and ever more confusing when compared to the origin of all, UNIX and BSD operating systems. Microsoft 'Love's for Ubuntu will without doubt only stand to gain Microsoft in the long term. The telemetry and always changing the narrative on how things must go forward within the vision of Microsoft will aim to kill compatibility and the power of the users to choose another platform and bring with them the applications they like to run. This freedom is not available when all software assumes one very specific type of MS blessed Linux/win32 honeypot. The telemetry is the most important feature, all else comes second to Microsoft, Google and Amazon. Are you enjoying VSCode and GitHub now? Skip to 2030 and you will absolutely hate it. Freedoms will be taken away, code will be assimilated and terminated, see the YouTube downloader saga as example of things to come.

I don't know much about SQLite, but I have used other relational DB's client libraries. And I don't see how static typing in the programming language helps here? The DB's type system and the language's type system are not hooked up to each other. So there is still effective dynamism here even with a statically typed client language. If the SQLite library has various sorts of built-in content coercions, it would still be a problem.
Why is docker for Mac a thing and docker for FreeBSD would not be possible? My understanding is that it's just VMs. Don't they have VMs in FreeBSD?

> First, please stop putting your binaries in /app, please, pretty-please? We have /usr/local/bin/ for that.

I'm not sure about this idea. Usr local is where you'd install something you've compiled & installed locally:

"The /usr/local hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when installing software locally." from https://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRLOCALLOCALH...

So usr local could be fair game for whacking stuff in your firms base docker image that you then layer your firms product applications on top of. It'd be your unix engineering person putting stuff in /usr/local, not your app dev.

"/opt is reserved for the installation of add-on application software packages." from https://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#OPTADDONAPPLIC...

Opt would be a better fit if we're sticking to the FHS. Think about what you'd usually install in /opt, maybe your veritas binaries. Maybe your AV solution. Maybe your ERP software product. etc. etc. Opaque binaries you got from a vendor.

That's a better match for an application product you're shipping - which is what you're doing with the second docker image (the bit starting "from scratch") in the article's example dockerfile.

That said, the FHS evolves based on conventions and /app for docker containers has become a convention. I wouldn't oppose just using /app but i do oppose chucking everything in /usr/local - it's a misguided attempt to preserve convention without grasping the convention.
> Docker ecosystem itself is just pure bloat. I already have all the tools to build and use thirdparty software in my host distro. Why should I need another [untrusted] copy.

I don't find this argument is reasonable at all. Just because someone uploaded their half-baked package into a registry that does not mean you are expected to not package and maintain your own application. In fact, it's crazy to rely your production system on whatever package any random person made available to the world.
Current options include distributed exchanges or purchase mainstream cryptos at a convenience shop, etc. Also kyc exchanges work to serve merely as gateway to a private wallet and true anonymous coins.
Work in progress on more convenient options. And of course buyer beware - if you ask the state to be a nanny you get a nanny state. OnlyFans is private cryptos' killer feature. It's actually MasterCard that's putting itself out of business.

It's worth noting that Jacob Leachman, a researcher at Washington State University, wrote against the Nytimes piece referenced: https://hydrogen.wsu.edu/2021/08/19/bias-and-green-vs-blue-h...

To make sense of a few things, first, what are the different types of hydrogen production (from Leachman's piece):

‘Black’ hydrogen is produced from coal or oil with the highest associated CO2 emissions.

‘Gray’ hydrogen is produced from methane with steam reformation resulting in approximately 7.2 kg CO2 for every kilogram of hydrogen produced (this is the color associated with the vast majority of industrial hydrogen produced over the years, which nearly entirely go to petroleum refining and ammonia fertilizer production).

‘Blue’ hydrogen is produced with CO2 emissions but those emissions are captured and sequestered in some way, like geological storage or concrete.

‘Pink’ hydrogen is produced with no CO2 emissions but from a nuclear reactor and the associated nuclear waste (for what it’s worth hydrogen will fluoresce a beautiful pink in an arc lamp, just about the only color hydrogen ever actually is).

‘Green’ hydrogen is produced with no CO2 emissions, typically from electrolyzing water via renewable energy like wind or solar.

From the OP arstechnica piece about Chris Jackson:

"Jackson continues by saying that blue hydrogen is “at best an expensive distraction, and at worst a lock-in for continued fossil fuel use” which would derail goals that the country and the world have set for decarbonizing the economy. He takes particular issue with the fact that oil and gas companies have asked the UK government for decades of subsidies while also claiming that blue hydrogen will be inexpensive to produce. “If the false claims made by oil companies about the cost of blue hydrogen were true, their projects would make a profit by 2030,”"

From Leachman's piece:

"

For what it’s worth, all you’ll see is green hydrogen in my CSA short course or on my blog, because that is the future I’m training professionals for. But you won’t see me slamming the door shut on ‘blue’ hydrogen either. The green hydrogen route with liquefaction that I’ve been pushing for over a decade now was long ridiculed using many of the same arguments as those against blue hydrogen above. Both the press and journal articles make the same mistake of casting as absolute extrapolations of the status quo without consideration for the limits of physical law. Those limits of physical law mean that if something is not forbidden, we will eventually find a use for positive means. What we really need is more research on ways to produce hydrogen (of any color) more efficiently with less global warming. Until we finally fund hydrogen research equivalently with batteries and electricity, all of this negative bias about hydrogen is turning my hair gray; no, let’s call it silver."

Keep in mind the research funding is seemingly dependent on grants and funding from oil companies.

Swindlers and liars need to be exposed, and held outside of politics. It's not ok to stand in front of hundreds of millions of people and lie right in their faces. We've seen how such mental assaults ended before.
The parents may have reported it. That I don't know. I do know that they were angry. They wanted an autopsy and instead got a cremation and got stonewalled by the doctors.
I’m a big fan of containers, but we oughtn’t hold Dockerfiles on a pedestal. They kind of work, but you have to shoehorn a dependency tree into a linear list of layers in a futile attempt to make build caching work. Moreover, they aren’t reproducible as they tend to rely on arbitrary network calls. To a lesser extent, the semantics are also “imperative commands” rather than “packages to be installed” which is the more natural way to think of composing an image.

I’m of the impression that the underlying BuildKit exposes the requisite dependency tree structure, but it hasn’t found it’s way downstream into the Dockerfile representation (to my knowledge, anyway). There’s also Nix which supports building arbitrary images with an elegant conceptual approach, but everything about Nix in practice seems unworkable for professional software development.
They likely all do - whether it's conscious bias or not. Typically it's ethnicity or gender [1], but I've sat on panels where the other panel members have _tried_ to argue "the candidate is too young" or "too old" for a role.

Based on what law/authority?

Copyright law forbids making copies, derivative works, etc. Not using things. You're allowed to read a book without a license.

Moreover copyright law makes an explicit exception for the copies required to run a computer program on a machine that aren't used in other ways (i.e. copying it to ram/registers): https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/117

The author may say "you can't use this", but it is not clear to me that he has any legal authority to do so.
But if you write instead

a := b+c * d

you aren't going to get an error. You're just going to get awfully surprising behavior, because you may think you were expressing one precedence with the spaces but the language has its own mind and doesn't care.

In contrast, Pyret doesn't bind anything more tightly than anything else. You parenthesize to make your intent clear.

If your expression gets too large, you should consider breaking it down with names for the intermediates. That will improve its readability by others anyway.

Changed companies, also worked for myself or as a consultant at times. Had some extended job hunts too.

I am not doing any ‘data science’ at all in my current side projects which all revolve around art, images, manufacturing, etc. because that is my obsession now. But I guess I should take that back because I am building image selection pipelines again and these are building up training sets that one day will go into a model of some kind. (But that competes with colonizing my office walls, making digital twins for my supergraphics, making a persistence of vision display for my car, and devising a lightweight mirror I can install to perform with a pepper’s ghost, …)

I think ‘data scientists’ themselves have more problems than the organizations they work in. Many of them think they are too good to have to think about reliable builds and the many details you have to attend to go from ‘I make a report’ to ‘I make a system that makes reports’. Some of them just won’t take orders when it comes to standardizing the way they do things.

In web dev knowing how to use version control, issue tracking, etc. are table stakes. Discipline in software dev is important, just as important as knowing how to map click event coordinates to objects in a web UI, what to do about margin collapsing, where to keep state in a React app and not go insane,…
I fail to see an economic future for hydrogen as a fuel source. If it is produced from e.g. methane (the blue version), then we are burning more methane than we would have if we had been using the methane directly. If it is produced from electricity and water (the green version), then we are wasting electricity that could have been used directly in BEVs. At the end of the day, hydrogen is always going to cost more than the energy source that was used to produce it, and it will not be competitive against solutions that use that primary energy source directly.

I've personally only used SSHFS (years ago). It was ok - slightly flakey for me. I can't remember what was wonky, but it was like 98% working, I couldn't figure out the last bit, so I just switched to straight up SMB/samba (I had pretty free control of the remote end, so that was a reasonable solution).

Maybe I'll give SSHFS another try again now...
OK, let me try again.

If your viewpoint is that the university is acting improperly and should not impose fines and/or block network access, then the next question is whether this particular instance of the university's general policy is a good example to choose for a protest.

And my answer is no. When 94% have complied already, then it's likely that most of the students (who are most of the relvant public) will consider a protest as stupid as that repjacktrimble tweet. And if the university's next rule is less widely accepted, then the perceived stupidity of this protest harms the protest against that next rule.

The book The Healing of America examines eight different national healthcare systems. Three of the best (France, Germany, Japan), in objective terms like health outcomes and percentage of GDP spent, have a lot in common with the ACA, with one big difference: a national price list for services.

Maybe a well-functioning market could accomplish the same thing but we certainly don't have that right now.

If you look at "reducing environmental levels of the metal lead" instead of a "medical treatment" then yes it does exactly that (and other harms). This is the reason for banning of lead in Gasoline, paint, pipes etc etc.
They do, it's not an entirely identical situation, I believe it is analogous though.

The question I'm addressing in 3 is whether or not the source code becomes a derivative work of the dependency (meaning writing it in the first place would be illegal). The only portion of the dependency that the source code copied was the names of a few functions/modules (part of the API). Copying that part of the API into the work seems very analagous to the Oracle/Google case, except even less was copied and it is even less of a market place competitor (but again, I'm not a lawyer).
I recently had a (potentially) post exposure rabies series of shots in the US.

3 shots of vaccine on day 1 + 1ml of human rabies immune globulin injected all around the exposed site. Then 1 follow up shot every 7 days for 3 weeks.

It’s the human rabies immune globulin that you hear the horror stories of people paying $20k for without insurance.

It’s strange that due to US medical billing and the uncertainty around it, I was trying weigh up the likely hood of actual infection from the animals saliva (protip for anyone visiting austin: there is actually a fair amount of rabies around).

If you develop symptoms, it’s usually too late and the survival rate is very low. That swung the needle in the direction of better to lose a car than be dead.

I’m not aware of any other country in the world - where getting those shots post exposure without insurance would have potentially cost that much.
You can actually be lighter touch than that and still have things work. Just make it so that you can’t “pay with insurance.” You have to send the bill to the patient who files a claim, gets a cash payout, and pays the bill.

Offer senior discount, have a 30% off sales, have hot flash summer, whatever. But now pricing will be predictable because there are no back-room negotiations.

If you ever pay for medical services without insurance you’ll find that places can suddenly give you a straight price.
I don’t think that’s what that chart says. It’s combining Government and other compulsory expenses. I haven’t reviewed the report behind the chart but I’d expect the blue bar to include things like employer paid insurance premiums.
Because Go is used by every large tech company in the world. If Google stopped investing in it, others would step in to move it forward.
Yup. The exception is industrial processes that use hydrogen chemically, like ammonia production and steel production.
So i kind of agree but wonder if it is usable as a means of storage of energy. Electricity is easy to generate but hard to store, we have done a great job of figuring out how to safely store gases. Could we not generate electricity in areas where it’s not needed and simply ship in the hydrogen? I feel like it’s a useful tool in the journey of replaying a fossil fuel economy.
I actually had this experience for an MRI, I called billing at the hospital at which my doctor was affiliated/recommended I take my MRI - I was floored to learn that if I paid cash, it was ~$1k and if I ran it through insurance it was $1.5k

I actually ended up running it through insurance as I wanted the amount to be applied to my deductible…

When I asked the (very nice) woman in billing how this made any sense - she told me (paraphrasing) that it’s basically a super complex optimization problem where several thousand products/services are being simultaneously negotiated, such that the hospital can maximize its gross margin, and the insurer can minimize its payments under insurance.
"German historians are not likely to include Kohl along with Konrad Adenauer and Willy Brandt as one of Germany’s greatest postwar leaders."

Adenauer should also not be on this list. This person was a corrupt, backwards-oriented selfish extreme right-wing religious nut who enabled Nazis to be part of the post-war government in Germany, e.g. state secretary Hans Globke, who played a major role in drafting anti-semitic Nuremberg Race Laws in Nazi Germany.

The entire vaccines cause autism thing started as a disinformation campaign against the MMR vaccine in order to sell an alternative (expensive) 3 part vaccine and to win a lawsuit. The media gave the original paper huge coverage without actually reading it and it took many people a lot of work debunking and discrediting the author before he even lost his medical license.

I grudgingly give credit to the British for being very clever (magnetron, battle of the beams, etc.) during and after WW2.

Having said that, London had food rationing for 9 years after the war, and really didn't have the money or facilities that the Americans had. (A B-29 was used as the mothership for the X-1!)

The W article below mentions "After the rocket plane experienced compressibility problems during 1947, it was modified with a variable-incidence tailplane following technology transfer with the United Kingdom."

Additionally, around half the X-plane pilots died, so Britain avoided a lot of test pilot fatalities. The US poured unlimited funding and talent into the program, with everybody being stars/aces (Yeager, Hoover, etc.) Both were injured seriously and almost died in various X-plane tests.

One X-plane test pilot set a record, then just quit and started a gun range.
Paul Graham wrote a 2014 essay saying basically this:

http://www.paulgraham.com/know.html

Reading and experience train your model of the world. And even if you forget the experience or what you read, its effect on your model of the world persists. Your mind is like a compiled program you've lost the source of. It works, but you don't know why.

The fact that I dug up this quote proves I remember some things I've read :)

FWIW I take 1-3 sentences of notes on articles I read, and few paragraphs of notes on books I read, and put them in my personal wiki. I find this not only helps retention but it helps understanding, by forcing hyperlinks to related work. Hyperlinks model the way your mind works.

I elaborate on that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24536687

Funnily enough it cites the same PG essay. It also echoes the article here, which I strongly agree with:

Finishing the book is optional. You should start a lot of books and only finish a few of them
