I have a related question...

The two big EHR systems (Epic and Cerner) are infamously complicated, user-unfriendly monoliths. And they're not interoperable, so once you pick one, it's very hard and expensive to switch your hospital to the other.

My question is, could EHR be "refactored" into smaller pieces? So your billing system is provided by Vendor X, and your imaging system is provided by Vendor Y, and they all talk to each other over an open protocol? That would make it easier for hospitals to switch away from individual systems / vendors that they hate.
That's sad. I love a good book.
Supply has been tighter than ever throughout
I mean, sure, but in that world OPEN LOOK would have been replaced long ago; it's not as if we'd still be using it in 2021.
Here is a list of 83 peer reviewed studies, conducted by medical professionals, showing the efficacy of Ivermectin in treating COVID.

Does this mean it works? No. But it does mean that your characterization of it as "snake oil" is completely incorrect. The real question is what kind of manipulation has taken place that could lead people to such a conclusion and who was behind this manipulation?
"a disproportionate number of violent crimes are committed by black people" which completely ignores the more meaningful statistics:

* Police are more heavily present in black neighborhoods, because of historically racist policies - so more likely to have police involve

* Police are overwhelmingly more likely to use force, including lethal force, against PoC, irrespective of the crime involved.

* Police overwhelmingly stop PoC w/o any cause (see NY's stop and frisk, traffic enforcement)

* Police systematically punish PoC at higher rates than white people, even when no crime is committed (see FL police reporting PoC to landlords, even when no crime is committed, and getting them evicted)

That's ignoring anecdotal evidence that domestic abuse in white households is systematically under reported.
Is Opendoor an MLS/appraiser that also got into the flipping market? It looks like they are just another MLS service but the article states "It will be interesting to see how Opendoor reacts."
2+2 = injustice!
Doesn't it defeat the purpose if you have to use third party apps? I thought the point was to get a modern Motif desktop, what does that matter if you're just going to install half the desktop from Wmaker or GNUstep or whatever.
> near-infinite number of things to do

I've been having a great time going the other way - Skyblock! Start with very little, build up from there.
People who own small logistics firms are culturally far more likely to fly in the face of regulation than those in the AMA.

This could explain the adoption/demand of more-cutting-edge SaaS etc.
> But why do you _also_ need someone with a readability rating as opposed to a code owner

FWIW, these can be the same person - if the have appropriate readabilities. The problem is that it's not easy to get readability in the first place, so occasionally teams have to look for people outside.
Doubt it. Just like adding extra clicks or login modals reduces the amount of people visiting your website, so increasing friction to do things in real life reduces the number of people doing it. Only the most motivated gamblers would be willing to seek out and participate in "gambling underground circles". Your average convenience store lotto player probably wouldn't bother.
No, it's like telling someone with a flat tire to take their car to a tire shop, which gets tires from Goodyear but not patch repair kits.

Rossman could get real Apple parts but he doesn't want to because it'd hurt his views.
No, you're not being pedantic, I appreciate the history, I was just wondering if anyone knew what was what here, after you supplied those citations for much later introduction date. And you supplied some info, thanks!

(I don't know why you have to block something for having bad reporting, but we don't have to talk about that!)
Maybe some reinforcement learning algorithm running as well, where the maximum reward is winning the bid. Hence the algorithm just goes and lays waste on other bidders. Gotta get that infinite reward!
What I don't like about Gnome is the lack of options. It's all so barebones, things have to work just one way and if you don't like it you have to resort to a load of plugins that often don't work right with the latest versions and/or cause issues when working together. I don't understand why lack of choice is meant to be 'modern'. It's not an iPad I just use for facebook. It's a computer. Apple has put the opinionated software paradigm on the map but it's not the be-all-end-all. Especially for desktops. For screen-constrained mobiles it works a lot better.

Systemd I don't like because it's so heavy. I really like lightweight systems. I use FreeBSD for that reason though I have other reasons too. And Alpine when I need Linux. Alpine is working on an init system based on s6 that will be more lightweight and I will give that a chance. I'm not against progress. I just like having options.

And Wayland, I don't mind it too much but I do miss the network transparency badly.
Oh ok I take it back then. I haven't watched him in a while. Sad to hear he has changed and given in to the urge to push.
First the container is sealed and it will float. At that point, it will be a hazard to surface navigation, and the Coast Guard, the Navy, ..., will try to recover them or sink them. Or the shipper will.

Once the seals break down, the container will become heavier than water, have negative buoyancy (Archimedes Principle), and sink. As it sinks the pressure will increase and any remaining air will be squeezed out and it will sink faster.

Also, there really aren't that many containers lost overboard (1,382/yr on average) and few are not recovered. There are a lot more sea mounts, about 14,500.
Channel != DIMM. Many small channels is just how LPDDR works, as opposed to DDR which has one big chungus channel. Well DDR5 has now split it in two. The total number of traces is the same.
"legalization of casinos killed Asian organized crime in Toronto. He estimates there was an 80 per cent decline in street-level crime when underground gaming houses dissolved."

Well, as much as I despise Facebook I must say that it's rather obvious that FB has the resources to out litigate this little Arizona company into oblivion, and Zuck is just the type of person to crush a knat standing in his way.
Sure it does.

Something that is illegal, is by definition a social taboo. The removal of that taboo implies more acceptance. The fact that more people use it will only increase acceptance by word of mouth etc. and that's at minimum.

The only question is by how much will usage increase?

Already, with severe legal restrictions and controls, opioid use is rapidly increasing the US, which is what we call 'extreme product market fit' (i.e. the drugs 'fits' our dopamine pathways) see [1]

The other major factors are 1) addiction / tolerance and 2) self-medication 3) money, i.e. capitalism.

As for 1)

"Roughly 21 to 29 percent of patients prescribed Opioids for chronic pain misuse them"

"An estimated 4 to 6 percent who misuse prescription Opioids transition to heroin." [2]

Those are just simple, top line numbers, and very potent at that.

Even with limited marketing and 'soft non-acceptance / promotion' - I believe it's something that vast numbers of people will seek it out 'just to party' or for 'the Vegas' trip etc. and especially for 2) i.e. as an easy painkiller/mood moderator which will leave a lot of people addicted.

As for 3)

If it's legal and profits can be made, they will be made. Investors at large may be 'moral' but there is always plenty of 'highly amoral' capital to do whatever, and in this case, it'd be producing the product with the most 'product market fit' in existence.

Increased use of opiods etc. will have no upside, only downside. It has to be regulated and controlled, it's best to keep it at a minimum.

In Canada they prescribe them by the pill, not the 1/2 bottle, i.e. you get a single pill for toot surgery because its just so addictive.

Well "processed foods" ALSO contain chemicals that are never found in home-cooked food or traditional menus. Many of those chemicals are problematic.

But also "natural" ingredients are often bad as well as certain ratios (e.g. high sugar and fat together, all seed oils, etc.).

For example ALL seed oils are problematic; the only "fats" that is fairly safe are: butter, ghee, and coconut oil. The rest become dangerous with heat (especially unsaturated oils). So ANY food made with cotton seed, flax or similar oils are part of the problem.

Processed foods means "industrial made using ingredients optimized for profit". Using seed oils is cheap. Using preservatives to extend shelf-life so that 1-3 month warehousing and shipping is possible. Therefore these are used.
Which is going to be a lot better for the middle class in the area then the situation pre-Zillow iBuyer (given the massive discounts). Zillow was a net-positive at least for the Phoenix market.
What’s the harm in that? Efficiency decays rapidly (to about half in 5 months) and a false sense of security isn’t beneficial for anyone. Would you rather have vaccinated people who think they're invincible while infecting others because they think having the vaccine gives you the ability not to get infected at parties and bars?

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

Effectiveness against infections declined from 88% (95% CI 86–89) during the first month after full vaccination to 47% (43–51) after 5 months. Among sequenced infections, vaccine effectiveness against infections of the delta variant was high during the first month after full vaccination (93% [95% CI 85–97]) but declined to 53% [39–65] after 4 months.
After reading this blog post, I realized, that after doing exactly the same things for last couple of decades it was not decision of mine... but this guys decision.
I go to a gas station, I can buy lotto. I go to a super market, I can buy lotto. And sometimes at whim, I have done that. Remove these and I am unlikely to look for dungeons selling lotto tickets. Ease of access is the problem.

I’d be wary as a “young dev” to claim he misunderstands.

It will become very obvious to you later why Apache and Nginx exist.

A very very small example is:

So you want multiple “apps” on the same server? How ya gonna bind to the same port, 443? How are you going to play nice with other apps? How are you going to keep up with security loopholes? Does your app and every other app need access to the private key?

There hasn’t been a mindset shift. You simply haven’t experienced the whole set.

Even super large apps such as Atlassian’s suite rely largely on a reverse proxy being in place of you don’t want to tell your users to use some random port.

These web servers are fast and powerful.

How do you think load balancing is accomplished?
Because everyone stops at one beer, or just one hit of drugs!
This comment made me realize I immediately discount this form of comment.

I'm guilty of using it myself, and this makes it clear I should stop. Not least because it's not effective.
A modern composited UI with GPU rendering including such effects is far more efficient than a traditional CPU rendered desktop, especially with HiDPI.

yep. that is how it worked for me as well
Another way to look at it is that lotteries are a way for poorer people to subsidize college education for richer people.
From what I can tell, a used 40ft container costs almost $4000 and weighs over 4 tonnes empty, and given scrap steel prices, that's about $2000 worth of scrap metal (potentially more, depending on the port and the month...)
Totally agree. It’s not just trustworthiness though- it’s insidious tribal traits like looks, race, gender/sex, intelligence, height, built- ie things you can’t control. The only way we’re going to get around this in society is genetic modifications, and not just before birth. People need to have full free choice to change all of the above.
Now I’m not sure what “tone” or context his words were said in, but she seems to argue in favor of what the man said, and then claim he is wrong for saying it? And then assume a bunch of things that he “implied”? Her opinion seems rather incoherent.

Her:

> The truth is, having board members with different backgrounds is important, and that is now being recognized, not ignored … The executives and boards of these companies prioritized diversity of experience as critical to their organizations’ success. My identity as a Black woman is part of that experience.

Him:

> Edith, you must be in great demand — as a Black woman.

He’s literally just recognizing her diversity as an in demand experience, something he does not have, which now may hold him back. Which she could have just agreed with instead of problematizing him, no?

> Company executives, the majority of whom are white, for the most part still struggle with how to address race at work.

I fear that this will continue to happen as long as we make confusing arguments about how to discuss race and gender.
As far as I can tell, the term heap comes from Algol 68. Algol 68 had garbage collection, and used mark and sweep. Mark and sweep works by searching memory like a tree, starting at the stack, so Algol 68 called this memory heap memory (at this point, heap was often used to just mean any tree). Languages like pascal and c also began calling their dynamic memory region the heap.
Having to form an opinion about every damn thing that matters is a) exhausting and b) hubris.

It is not possible to be an expert on everything.

The best personal outcome doesn't come from making your own assessment of everything from toothpaste to nuclear power. It's when you learn to recognise the difference between someone's reasoned expertise and, well, just about everyone else pushing their viewpoint.

The top current tip for removing noise from signal certainly is, don't consume social media, as in the OP. In a similar vein, ignore parochial/domestic television broadcasting; obtain current events from international reporting sources, and informed opinion from long-form writers.
God damn that is shorter than expected. Those little drawing examples were very slick.
It’s scratch off tickets that are the equivalents of illegal gambling not multi million dollar lotteries because the feedback is instant and the same personalities get addicted to both.
> The dithering is intentional, not due to an inability to display additional colors. While back in the 80s and 90s dithering was used to work around lack of color, nowadays it is almost always used as a stylistic choice.

I'm pretty sure the limited number of colours is exactly why CDE does this. At the time it was popular most X terms could only do a palette of 256 colours (from a larger number, I think 65535). Thus the dithering.

In fact if you opened up an image viewer like xv (xview) it would switch palettes and make your other windows look weird. Just because it needed all the colours to display a picture decently.

24-bit + alpha channel greatness only became mainstream after CDE was already a thing of the past.

> I was shocked to read in the article that one in seven Australians have tried it

That's not very shocking when you consider how many children are exposed to ADHD medication. Adderall is indistinguishable from methamphetamine, Ritalin is a mirror image molecule of methamphetamine, and sometimes methamphetamine is prescribed for ADHD.

Some times doctors will test a child for ADHD by prescribing medication and seeing if it improves or harms their behavior.
Are those beliefs/truths useful? I don’t think most news is nor does it have any impact on our lives.
So that’s why I couldn’t flip it
I worked on software that did algorithmic pricing. It was a race to the bottom because some bozo wanted to be on the first page of sellers. So they’d price it one penny under the lowest price. The next seller would match it. Before you knew it, the product was worth dollars or cents. We also had people do it on purpose (we called it price bombing), but that was easy to negate since we filtered out competitors with low ratings. But there went that bozo, price matching and beating the price by a penny…

It was madness trying to code around people not thinking about their effects on the market and still turn a profit. Spoiler: we never did turn a profit on bozo powered listings, because at some point, it’s better to free the inventory space instead of waiting for the bozo to sell their items and let the price climb back up over the course of months or years.
I'm not sure I follow your logic; if you're concerned with buying a house now, then prices from years ago are irrelevant. You can speculate that prices have risen too quickly and that they'll revert back to their earlier level, but that's ultimately just speculation. Comparable sale prices from the past few months are the thing to look at, to determine an offer that's likely to be accepted.

One thing to keep in mind about list prices: if the sellers do a good job of estimating the current market price, then the house will sell quickly. If you're checking listings infrequently, there's going to be some sampling bias in the listings you see; overpriced houses that aren't selling will be disproportionately represented in active listings.
I'm still not sure I understand, what is it you're trying to do exactly? Those other tools should continue to work, systemd will only conflict if you explicitly enable its eBPF stuff.

UST is the stablecoin pair to Luna which is the native token of the Terra network - an algorithmic stablecoin platform. It's an innovative approach to stablecoins across multiple currencies and it is growing amazingly fast.

I would encourage everyone who feels like they missed out on Bitcoin or Ethereum to understand that Decentralized Finance is yet another opportunity of a lifetime. Centralized banking is the legacy play here and it is being disrupted at an amazing pace by DeFi. If you have an open and curious mind and are able to do some research down the rabbit hole, this is a space that will provide handsome returns to the enthusiast - already has.
How have people found balance in these situations?

The examples mentioned are painfully real and accurate but it's possible to swing too far in the other direction too.

Too much autonomy, feedback collection, etc. can also bog down the entire team. Not all feedback is good or well-reasoned. It's easy to get stuck in a spiral of short-sighted reactive changes and the second-guessing of every past decision.

-

It takes a lot of focused effort to both empower individuals and educate them (without indoctrinating them into learned helplessness?).

The only lead I have here is to document decisions in ADR-style[1] docs so newcomers can see what else was considered and not chosen.

I'd love to hear any other success stories or tips.

The most likely answer is that politicians who maintain the prohibition profit from it directly or indirectly. There is no other answer to that.
Unfortunately drug prohibition is also in the law enforcement interest so they won't investigate politicians' links to drug trade.
They didn't come up with the idea either; it's like the "new" iFart app.
I think this is an incorrect assessment of that 430K customer base and the target market for that specific BackBlaze product.

The product is really aimed at people are either vaguely aware or fully aware that they need a backup product but don't know where to turn and want something simple.

It's aimed at people like me who need to recommend a backup product to friends, family members, etc. that I can simply direct them to install (or install for them) and requires next to no configuration to get up and running. It's minimally configured and just runs reliably in the background, rarely to be thought of again. All for a small, consistent monthly fee.

It is not targeted at backup enthusiasts, and DEFINITELY not the DataHoarder crowd, though I know some in that community do find ways to somehow use the service.

To that end, BackBlaze has made strategic choices to increase the chances that they are unlikely to be an attractive option to the DataHoarder or backup enthusiast or 20TB homelab folks:

1) As I said, the client offers little configuration compared to more powerful and flexible backup options. When you backup using their backup client, it is all done under their storage and retrieval preferences and paradigm. (In my experience, these communities tend to want more ability to configure, not less)

2) They don't offer a Linux client

3) They don't allow you to backup network shares. Nor do they allow you to back up a drive and then disconnect it. (After BackBlaze can no longer see the file, it will only retain it for 30 days)

I would imagine that these strategic choices have worked, because from what I see, the BackBlaze Unlimited service does not seem to be all that popular within the DataHoarder or "I need to store 100TB for $5/mo. and retrieve it all every few weeks" communities.
Every few years, some version of this article comes out. The version of 30 years ago lamented how programmers don't really understand the hardware anymore because a compiler abstracts the machine.

20 years ago, it was about how virtual machines (like the JVM / CLR) abstract memory management and developers write bloated software.

We simply have more layers of abstraction that we depend on, and the interesting problems move up the stack. That trend will continue until the machines take over and write software.

Until then, we'll continue to see this article show up, s/kubernetes/next-new-hotness.
Yeah, maybe. I do not have a very high DPI monitor and TBH i find even my 27" 1440p monitor to be too high DPI for my taste, i just couldn't find something smaller with the other specs i wanted (VA for having decent blacks and with a high refresh rate). I'll probably replace it with a ~23" 1080p monitor at some point though if i find a VA with high refresh rate... and not be curved (because for some reason 99% of them are curved). Either way i'll stick with the non-antialiased fonts :-P.
Ivermectin is a miracle drug against parasites due to its effects on the nerve and muscle cells of invertebrates. The evidence for its use as an antiviral in vivo is weak.

I immediately discount 50 year olds who criticize fathers for being there for the birth of their child and helping the mom during their recovery. There is no excuse I would buy for a man with his exposure not knowing how difficult it is for a new mother to be on her own in the first few months.

A quick search says he has 3 daughters of his own, so either he’s an idiot or he’s creating controversy for the sake of controversy or to pander to other idiots.
Calories from drinks are a good example of stuff with a very different balance between calories and satiety, the carbs in drinks don't really create a feeling satiety even if consumed in huge amounts but do provide loads of energy.

Eating 500 calories worth of non-starchy vegetables, on the other hand, would be much harder, because you would feel stuffed.
The entire rest of the domestic automobile industry sold millions of cars with smart cruise control features similar to Autopilot over the past few years, so the misleading one would be...you?
