> Medicare would not continue to pay for his treatment.

You just made my point.

Remember, the hospital tried to advise the patient. We don't know the exact advice, because it's confidential due to HIPPA.

I suspect that the patient was offered to be transferred to a facility like a nursing home, rehab center, or home care. The hospital can't transfer the patient against their will, nor can they continue to bill for treating someone who's condition is stable enough for cheaper treatment at a less expensive facility.

It's a beuracratic nightmare. Without knowing more, I wouldn't cast blame on anyone.

Oh my, you need to educate yourself.

Socialists believe society exists to support everyone, not just white collar knowledge workers. The kid working long hours to ensure you have sandwiches in your microkitchen deserves a living wage too.

The landlord who provides nothing to society and just gets wealthier by virtue of being already wealthy is the one socialists have a problem with.

Admittedly calling the Martian not sci-fi is a bit of a hot take, but I’ll defend it. To me sci-fi is speculative fiction. That is, take a counter factual or hypothetical and run with it, explore the consequences of the idea.

The Martian supposes we send some human missions to Mars like we probably will in a decade or two, and lays out the steps a crewman takes to survive being left behind. There’s not really an idea there to explore other than what might be done in an engineering planning meeting.

I might call it eng-fi instead of sci-fi.

I'm complaining that the community's reliance on package management has set the expectation that unpaid contributors make software work on the platform.
My project [0] is about 600k lines of C++. It takes about 5m40s to build from scratch on a Ryzen Threadripper 2950X, using all 16 cores more or less maxed out. There's no option in C++ for meaningiful incremental compiles. Typically working compiles (i.e. just what is needed given whatever I've just done) are on the order of 5-45 secs, but I've noticed that knowing I can do a full rebuild in a few minutes affects my development decisions in a very positive way. I do 99% of my development work on Linux, even though the program is cross-platform, and so I get to benefit from lld(1).

The same machine does nychthemeral builds that include macOS compiles on a QEMU VM, but given that I'm asleep when that happens, I only care that the night's work is done before I get up.

I'm starting to think health care should not be run like a business.
The problem with (1) is that complaining about this is usually the last bastion of a dying industry. This is particularly true if the alternative is a completely new idea it would normally be much more expensive to begin with. So it would really just be a countdown until it is no longer true.

The problem of (2) is that all attempts to generate electricity with renewables (and with no fossil fuel backups) have resulted in extreme problems. In short, when it is windy or sunny, you have too much electricity and no way of storing it. When it is not windy or sunny, you have nothing and are forced to resort to fossil fuels. Ultimately, it's being found out that being able to store electricity is far more important than making it efficient.

And (3) is just dumb Ludditism. As if the small increase in complexity is any kind of problem. Fuel cells are far simpler than internal combustion engines after all. Batteries are actually worse from a supply chain standpoint since now you have a much higher need for certain elements that are not widely available.

Can you even opt-out of being tracked by Tesla? Even if you're not buying their insurance, I'm sure their EULA will grant them access to your data.
I refuse to work for any company that does microservices again. Or the "distributed monolith" spaghetti that it usually ends up being. It's an exercise in misery.
> Would you care to give your own qualifications in this field?

I am a programmer, and I trust my ability to call out junk code. Except if I am reading code from someone like Carmack or Linus. In those cases, I am gonna assume whatever I don't understand is my fault. What hubris would it be for me to call Linus' code junk, even if I really can't make sense of it despite my best effort?

Same here. It's fine to say "we did our best to understand this and as far as we can tell, these genes are not utilized" to go like "yeah it's junk" is quite different. You're a mere mortal, and DNA has been the foundation of all life for millennia. You don't get to judge so easily.
It takes self discipline to stop trying to make things more complicated than they need to be, but I think for me at a certain point you just lose interest in overcomplicating things. At least I have. I am much less interested in doing some new fancy thing in Haskell as opposed to solving it in a straightforward, effective manner.
Well, considering the guy from Pfizer quoted in this article says they don't believe the vaccines they are currently developing will be needed, and that you say we can't trust them when they tell us about the need for the treatment, I can only assume you're about to argue that we do actually need these new vaccines they are testing.

Seriously, did you even read the article? It's basically just reporting on what Pfizer and the others are actually doing, and it's very clear they're just preparing for something they may need to do in the future. It's not advocating for any particular stance on that even, much less taking a position that would encourage buying anything in particular right now.

I don't see what you're objecting to here.

Felt like it was a similar "magic" to the older skool BASIC of the previous era.

Linus Torvalds allegedly said:

Yet people laugh at VB and say its a bad language, and theyve been talking about OO languages for decades. And no, Visual Basic wasnt a great language, but I think the easy database interfaces in VB were fundamentally more important."

In secret vaccine contracts with governments, Pfizer is in push for profit
Wow, what a time to be alive! For those who are not into bio, this type of information is invaluable for untangling the molecular mechanisms of disease and can provide important clues about where we should intervene with a small molecule or antibody drug to disrupt disease processes.

To give a coding analogy, you can think of this as trying to debug a program written in a language we can’t read. We have no idea what lines are doing what, but there are many different versions / forks of this program floating around. By looking at all the diffs and comparing the outputs, we can start to figure out what some of the code is doing, and which lines we might want to comment out to correct certain types of bugs.

It's not ipso facto 2 elements. You need to define what it means for there to be 2 elements, or 2 apples. Which goes back to question: "At what point does one apple and another one apple become two apples?"

I can simply say there's only one's of apples. The existence of the number two is optional in this case. Its existence is completely up to my own mind (Distance? Likeness? Etc.). Prove to me in this case that the number two exists outside our own minds.

Note that for quite a while Conservancy has (and more recently[1] many other copyright holders have) publicly documented that they extend GPLv3's cure provision to their otherwise-GPLv2-licensed code.

There are kernel copyright holders who have not consented to this and when you violate the GPL your license to the parts of the code that they own is terminated per the vanilla GPLv2. But the copyrights which Conservancy represents have the cure provision.

It needs to also do:

from __future__ import absolute_import, division, print_function, unicode_literals

This will give you syntax much closer to Python 3 in Python 2.7. The remaining differences can be papered over with function and class helpers. Well, except for metaclasses, but I doubt you'd have need for those in a single-file script.
Qt would have been my first choice for a long time. Unfortunately the Qt Company has changed their pricing model a few years ago and charges way too much these days. (3950$ per developer and year for desktop and mobile applications. For embedded systems they don't even list public prices...). That said even the open source version is less interesting since one doesn't get official long term security and bug fix updates without continuously migrating to the newest releases.
> Sure, the F-150 is a nice option but what is Ford doing in terms of self driving.

In 5 years time, Tesla won't have solved self-driving, there'll be few distinguishing features between Tesla's self driving and whatever Ford will call its advanced driver-assist tech. If self-driving is completely solved by then, Ford will have the option of licensing Waymo's Driver platform (I predict that Waymo will not venture into large-scale vehicle manufacturing)

Yup, this is just a literature review and there have been no human studies on this specific scenario.
That's a little extreme.

Maybe instead you could probe at interview time whether they are happy with their microservices, how many do they have, do they feel happy that the service boundaries they finished up with are the best possible etc.

Not all microservice setups are shit shows.

>>if we compare it to some recent measurements of Ampere Altra, AMD EPYC, and Intel Xeon, taken by Andrei over at AnandTech, the Yitian 710 should be fairly competitive at 128 cores.

Impressive. I did not expect riscv to progress so quickly. Intel is much weaker than we all thought after all. Hats off to these clever engineers.
"the issue is that the macros for subclassing in gtk4-rs are _really_ verbose and confusing."

I didn't find it that complicated but I've also worked on plenty of GObject code in C. It's mostly a direct equivalent to what the C code would look like. I think part of the problem is that some of the examples are not really structured well, the mod/imp split makes it a lot more confusing than it needs to be. In my opinion you can just skip putting methods on the private struct and only put it on the public one and that also simplifies it a lot.

But Relm should be a step up if you like the declarative style.

Regarding JSON vs XML, I just pointed out that this is an interview question about discussing engineering trade-offs. The purpose of the question was to ensure that the candidate could understanding and evaluate trade-offs without making snap judgements.

The candidate was incapable of doing so.

For the threading question, the reason why I chose an unusual API was for your exact reason: You'll never see it on a list of interview study questions.

The Docker compose file is YAML. My reading of YAML's standard is that it must be in one of the Unicode encodings, and the smell I get from the article is that it is probably in windows-1250 (the CP Windows would use for Polish; Mikołaj is a Polish name, 0xb3, the octet in the error, is the Windows-1250 encoding of "ł"); thus, it isn't valid YAML.

I'm not sure what sane behavior Python could have here besides errorring.

> EVERY language should _try_ to handle Unicode such that if a data sequence were valid before it remains valid after.

This sequence was never valid, and never will be.

> in the article's case, the correct answer is GIGO. Just pass it through and hope it continues to work.

Dear God, no; emit a diagnostic and abort. Countless decades of existing code have shown time and again that "plow forward with some hot garbage" is not a good idea. But that ignores that … that that isn't how any of this works; the YAML parse is going to want to emit strings, which the incoming data isn't.
That floor is really, really low when you try to optimize for it. But the issue is that the M1 Max is at 5nm TSMC while the 3080 is on 8nm Samsung, so this isn't actually that impressive.

Intel is gonna be in deep trouble in couple of years. They are the PowerPC of modern era. IDK what held them back from reimagining the architecture for less power hungry processors and tooling. With Mac mainstream switching to ARM and Microsoft doing something similar, I think within next 5 - 10 years ARM is gonna take over Intel architecture in general.

I mean, the Cell SPU design is everywhere, it's just now part of every GPU and called compute shader. Vector processors are a good idea, but they have to be accessible to programmers through standard, easy-to-use, ideally-cross-platform APIs or invariably they won't get used to their full potential.

I'd imagine that the change of guard in the White House might have had something to do with it as well. Each administration had drastically different views on immigration policy.
This is a false claim.

The "rise" of Electron has occured primarily because it allows people to do desktop development using whatever it that they learned in the context of web-centric development. For some people, that's an excellent turn of events, for others, it is a horror show.

Even if I was willing to grant that GTK and Qt etc. are "crap" (which I'm not, but ...), it's notable that there are essentially zero cross-platform alternatives that could be judged any less "crappy". Either you think that nobody smart enough has tried, or this is a much harder problem to solve to your liking than it first appears.

I live in Sacramento. I've been in a car twice in the past 480 days, and not a whole lot before then (living since 2017 in Carmichael, Arden, downtown and East Sac., Fair Oaks for a few weeks).

I think what you're trying to say is "people will always choose a private air-conditioned car", but I'm saying car use is artificially high because other options are not feasible. Where it is safe and comfortable (i.e. away from cars) to make most of one's journeys (under 5 or 10 miles) by other means, people choose non-car options at a higher rate than people in LA (or Sac etc) are choosing.

You are being obtuse by asking for journal references where they're not needed (this isn't a conference, it's a conversation in the comment section on a website).
> "it's legal to distribute pirated copies of games if it's to preserve them"

Perhaps you meant to reply to the poster I was replying to. To be clear, I would never say nor imply "it's legal to..." <anything>, as predicting the legality of some specific scenario is essentially impossible with any degree of confidence.

Even expert lawyers, judges and law school professors are frequently incorrect in such predictions. In the U.S. legal system, what is and isn't "legal" varies wildly based on the particular jurisdiction, context, defendant, plaintiff, defense, prosecution, judge, jury, etc involved.

And even predicting a given ruling (guilty/not guilty) doesn't tell us on what specific counts, how they were charged or what the sentence or damages may be nor any possible settlements or appeals. Intellectual property law in general and copyright in particular is notoriously complex, nuanced and situational. Especially so for civil actions. That's why I was so careful in my post not to state any opinion regarding legality at all. I only noted that exemptions like "fair use" exist and some copying in some situations is permitted. The answer to anything else is both a) "it depends", and b) "it's complicated."
linux is actually ported to the M1 at this point and you can run it normally (although of course there are likely still some bugs lurking), however the graphics drivers are still a work in progress although coming along very quickly.

https://www.theregister.com/2021/10/06/asahi_linux_m1_progre...

I'm sure you're right that there are still optimizations to be done, but as you can see from Alyssa's tweet there, it is still a very fast piece of hardware for normal developer usage, as long as you don't fall into one of the scenarios that probably requires further tuning (x86 emulation probably being an obvious one, no idea if they've got Total Store Ordering working in KVM yet but that's obviously a key feature).
