Going through an extended close-family medical situation at the moment in a U.S. top-10 metro. A few anecdotes:

- Almost everywhere is short staffed. This has dragged out simple things like medical transport tremendously.

- There appears to be plenty of beds and equipment. In 3 different facilities 40 miles apart from each other there were numerous empty beds from ER to rehabilitation.

- Low-end jobs like in-home medical assistant are basically vacant at the moment. After a month we've been unable to find anybody who can come provide basic support services.

- Specialist doctors are generally available.

- Supplies of medical equipment, blood, etc. seems basically normal. I even offered to supply a transfusion and was turned down as they had enough units on hand.

- Medical imaging systems seem to be very overtaxed with very delayed appointments at two different imaging centers and 3 different machines.

- Travel nurses are everywhere - these are contract-guns of the nursing world, fly in and make very serious money while filling staffing gaps. One nurse we spoke to is making north of $200k/yr at current rate.

- Vaccine mandate has had 3-5% attrition. The low levels of staffing appears to be almost entirely from people burned out on the high workload.

- There's interesting "pockets" of ethnic groups in different parts of the medical system at the moment as people are in-sourced to the U.S. to make up gaps. e.g. All West Africans in one ICU, East Africans in rehab and some home care, Latinos and Philippinos in home services. It's absolutely fascinating.

- Some nurses and technicians seem woefully untrained. We (me and my immediate family) seemed to have better training than some dedicated staff, which was quite scary.

- Some facilities are absolutely filthy. We're reporting those.

- One facility we went to had just laid off a huge number of support staff and technicians. Not sure why, but somebody mentioned that Covid has basically broken provider's financial models.

- Insurance provider seems entirely unfazed by all of this and is attempting to operate with a business as usual policy. As a result I've never seen people have to fight so hard for so little, many things that would actually improve care and be cheaper for the provider.

I haven't used any modern framework yet (still rails).

Might consider Vue.js for writing new very interactive components...
> They would because it would mean more software support.

Evidently, Apple doesn't think it's worth it. Who else would be in a better position to judge?

> Proper support for Vulkan would not be an abstraction layer. Metal is not the language of the hardware, GPUs operate on assembly like instructions

Sure, but the point of Metal for Apple is to have an abstraction layer so they are free to change things underneath it as needed. A first-class Vulkan implementation would be a largely redundant, and sometimes conflicting abstraction (and a conflict Apple doesn't control). That's a lot of additional complexity.

> What if I told you I can transfer a file between my Mac and PC using software built into Mac OS from a standard controlled by Microsoft.

I guess you mean SMB? That has not exactly been a straight a smooth road on MacOS. I would guess Apple's experience supporting it helped them realize the value of controlling the foundational APIs of their OS. But even more so with web APIs.

> GPU makers are plenty interested because it sells GPUs

My point is the GPU makers have not yet been inspired to implement Vulkan for MacOS, and now that they face a near future where MacOS will be not be a market for them due to Apple silicon,
Perhaps the point is most people are limited by unfulfilled potential - not that they've reached their genetic max. I do t think anyone would argue that a really nurtured lettuce plant would ever match ability to learn with a slightly neglected human.

> JavaScript allows getter/setter methods that can update the DOM when a value changes; this includes before/after and around-like methods that can integrate AJAX calls in a VARAIBLE name. e.g., you access the variable and an AJAX call fires and updates your DOM when the data returns with you doing ZERO coding.

Maybe I'm old but that sounds TERRIBLE. When my code is doing something expensive like a network call, I want to know about it.

Also as much as rails seems so popular, I REALLY don't like rails so this seems to take what's good about it and removes some of the nonsensical opinionated crap. I'm not too much of a fan of node either but it's easier to work with IMO
Awesome! You have a customer :)
Most NFTs are addresses that point to an image stored on a server somewhere (AWS, etc). This removes the "permament, decentralized" version of NFTs. If the image itself is stored on the block chain this means it is fully decentralized and not at risk.
This seems to indicate that studies should be designed to investigate the effectiveness of diets with respect to expectations and future plans; since the system is complex and literally based on the subject's memories and expectations of future events.
So, at that point they'd be in the camera business, sort of. Right? Funnily enough the real long term, not changing thing is: people want to be able to 'capture' light....
Yes! I’ve been using sqlc both at work and on side projects and it works awesome. For me it strikes the right balance between “I want to work with sql/db abstractions” and “I don’t need orm, just automated mapping”. Has a few rough edges when advanced types needs to get mapped, but it’s getting there.

Really incredible experience.
I think there's probably the assumption that a lot of these people have some money saved up outside of just emergency funds.

I know quite a few close friends, for instance, who are saving up "F You" money to be able to quit their job and do what they want (even short of full FIRE movement folks).
I think the term is "isomorphic", as in having a single form.
How to Teach Programming
I would like to see it mentioned how to use Nix as a system package manager in MacOS. This guide was exactly what I needed: https://wickedchicken.github.io/post/macos-nix-setup/ and the official documentation made no mention of nix-darwin.

It was frustrating reading all the official intro documentation on Nix and it only talking about nix-env (not declarative AFAIK) or how to use Nix for per-project dependencies.
I’m inclined to believe this is an inaccurate study. I’d really like to see it replicated.

That said, assuming it’s accurate — that’s kind of an amazing physiological response to perceived time. I wonder if other systems can be impacted or what would cause this particular system to be impacted? I could see people’s metabolism changing based on perception(s).

So many questions, but an exciting and interesting area.

Anti-vax guy with a substack blog has an opinion!
ergonomic keyboard design surely is begging someone to write their thesis on the subjects involved with figuring out the difference between individual preference and the non empirical / subjective measures of preference and selection priority.

I have always believed that the problem with ergonomic keyboard design could be solved for a majority of cases with one single design, optimised over a number of generations rapidly in about 3 years (or a more optimal period allowing you to iterate retail cycles and customer reviews and reactions as well as observations in actual use) and make a excellent long term investment for a relatively small amount of capital.

the capital amount of course wouldn't be small in every individual view of small, but I can definitely imagine the required capital investment can be kept in check within less than -$3mm and return overall very well real inflation adjusted over a very decent length of time.

(i tend to presume the existence of very strong IP law knowledge in the design and development and management team - this i would like to be overlapping roles - but about one third of the capital in any project like this would be allocated by me to legal and IP rights protection in any event because you don't want to be responsible for that with only product development experience no matter how well educated in IP law and practice you are . Product liability and environmental and ethical concerns would receive a significant budget today as well , especially when everything is outsourced (Logitech since 30 years effectively in the beginning ...)

Cuba's reported covid-19 rates went skyrocketing a few months back (at one point more than 0.5% were getting it every week), and then plummeted back down to low levels (presumably due to the Delta variant, but I don't know if that's why). It will be interesting to see if they are able to keep their rates low using this vaccine.

"Vérez Bencomo says the Finlay Institute can produce 10 million Soberana 02 doses per month..."
With a population of 11 million, this would allow Cuba to get vaccinated in short order, one would think?
It's scientifically observable and proven, far more rigourously so than the "feeling" of the original comment, (a heuristic we all use), so what are you getting at?

Are you suggesting that all of psychology, its documented research and phenomena is best dismissed because you decree it a pseudoscience? This is fallacious at best.
Everyone here seems focused on Metal as a graphics api for games. It’s also Apple’s answer to CUDA. Still a work in progress but each release they’re adding more (advanced) compute APIs. Metal is important for their AI plans. For that reason alone we will never see it be replaced by Vulkan.

You don't minimise suffering by not eating meat. You're maximising your bragging
rights about your superior ethics. What minimises the suffering of farm animals
is... farming. Because without farming they'd live in the wild where they'd
suffer from disease, parasites and bad weather and they'd be eaten by predators. Each and
every one of them. And most of the time, they'd die while being eaten alive.

At least humans kill our food before we eat it. That is minimising suffering.

> There's a simple fix, and he didn't want to do it. Instead, he's whining on the Internet, blaming a company that doesn't own the vehicle and can't do anything about it, either.

Except, he's not whining.

From the article:
“I also just kind of want to see what happens,” Lou said. “How long is it gonna take them to figure out that they have a delivery truck that’s just sitting somewhere?”

It doesn't seem like it's bothering him and it's now just a game of see how long it takes Amazon to care that they're paying for something stranded in the guys driveway. It's also pointing out the inefficiencies and waste of a company like Amazon, wherein it's cheaper for them to abandon a Sprinter van than deal with the logistics of caring about dealing with it. The reality is very likely that Amazon doesn't own it so they'll just punt it to the leasing / rental owner to reclaim it. This is how companies of Amazon's scale operate - with what would be an unacceptable loss / overhead for a smaller outfit. Most will call this the cost of doing business, but it's unfortunate the waste that is generally accepted as normal.

This brings up an interesting question - do the hyperscalers operate in a similar manner? Having and accepting large inefficiencies in their stacks but that may not be worth optimizing?
GCC brought good compilers out of the shackles of the proprietary world. Linux did the same for UNIX users. A few years later, Arduino did the same with micro controllers. Now is the time for FPGA.
Well Remix just released today, so it's not surprising you haven't heard about it. You'd have to follow Ryan, Michael and Kent, the people behind remix.

Guillermo Rauch (main dude behind Next and Vercel) was well known in the scene before next which also helped it gain the initial traction to build upon.

Feels like a similar case. IIRC remix wasn't suppose to be open source, but feels like nowadays it's a better choice for them to go the Next route and build services around their framework.

My bet is they'll build a Cloudflare Edge Suite abstraction (or even get bought by CF for their edge offerings)
Amazon probably doesn't own this thing. They tend to contract out to 'independent' contractors that need to take care of their own vans, and they can dodge providing employee benefits (think sick pay, holidays etc) at the same time.

Even here in the Netherlands the post company did the same thing :( A lot of package delivery people got the offer of becoming "independent" or being made redundant.

However eventually the law kicked in gear and reversed all this because it's not really independency if you work for only one company.

1st we have to establish what we mean by "trance". I'm referring to an era between about 1991-1994.

2nd we need to establish what tracker music sounds like - especially how it's limited.

Here's a 1991 trance track, Komakino - Frogs In Space (Trance Mix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjFBs_30uKU

Or a 1992 track, Cosmic Baby - Magic Cubes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMCl9tIfje8

I wasn't in the studio and I don't personally know the artists, but it really sounds like tracker music to me.

Now I know that's probably not convincing enough so let's get into demo disks, such as Breathtaker (1994) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-QUFFcxVjc or Day of Reckoning (1992) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfxDTgK3grg - go to 1:45 to hear those long pads you claim are impossible (they aren't). Or what about Wildfire's demos in 1992? (https://youtube.com/watch?v=0bk-qbbsgog)

And here's what's termed "Tiesto-Style" trance showing the actual tracker. https://youtu.be/6tNizdyx-DE?t=231

Different people used different tools, that's absolutely true. My claim is that trackers played a major role as an instrument in the development of that contemporary style.
For a long time I thought self-contained, small EMPs like this weren't physically possible.
Collapsed skyscrapers absolutely would be a good source of steel.

Depending on the apocalypse, there would also be a good argument for intentionally collapsing any skyscrapers that were still standing, as depressing as that is. An unmaintained skyscraper will be shedding glass panels fairly frequently, and once the window glass is gone it will start accumulating rainwater and corroding the structural steel. Uncontrolled collapses also have a risk of knocking down neighboring buildings. Walking through a downtown area 50 years after it was depopulated would be fairly dangerous. You would want crews stripping empty buildings and knocking them down asap.

Not to mention large cities are located at ports where you're going to want to operate anyway, once civilization is rebuilt enough to engage in ocean freight again.

1/ this introduces game theory in a larger way on-chain. there's a lot of appeal for this. most people believe this is the next wave of nft innovation and there are a number of copy cat projects being built right now.

2/ it's had a number of missteps around the contract code. the project was exploited once and another was uncovered recently requiring the team to halt the game.
Do you mind expanding what you mean here? I think you are touching on something but I can't be sure.

That's fine and well, but JSON isn't a natural hypermedia and it has struggled to achieve much by adopting hypermedia-like features.

I think this is because the power and flexibility of the hypermedia model requires that the consuming entity have agency, and humans consuming HTML (unlike the code consuming JSON) provide that agency:

https://intercoolerjs.org/2016/05/08/hatoeas-is-for-humans.h...

Providing more documentation for JSON is an admirable goal, but that isn't the uniform interface of REST, which requires no documentation, just an entry point from which all possible actions are surfaced via hypermedia.

Rather it is better documentation for what is a fundamentally RPC model (not bad! just different)
Thanks! I love the concept of sqlc, but their support for pgx with its native PostgreSQL interface was quite limited when I checked. I imagine it's better nowadays, and will try again soon!

Assuming this can be replicated, it'd be interesting to know if knowing the clock is running fast is enough to offset whatever's going on here.

I'd also be curious to know what impact the speed of the clock had on game play, did it impact their ability to play in any measurable way?
The most absolute simple form of production testing is simply trying to use the application to make sure all the parts seem to work based on what you'd expect from a glance. This seems quite distinct from randomly terminating a service or injecting random bytes to see what happens.
Same here. Too bad it only lasts 6 months.
That's right, it's essentially sandboxing the scripts. But I think the real innovation is an automated system they've created for writing the sandboxing code based on tracing the execution of the malicious/ad scripts in the browser.

Otherwise, what you're saying would be true, and this could be easy to break/bypass.

Well you could run it as a sort of rendering layer in front of your backend, and talk to your phoenix app on an internal API or local socket. May not be worth it though. Unlike next, I don‘t think you can even run this as SPA only.

I think for remix to be able to do what it does, it kind of needs to run as a JS (not node!) backend, because a big part of it is running react on the server. Also, you are literally writing the server and client code in the same file. Closure and Reason which have strong react ports/bindings might be able to do it, but otherwise I don‘t see how.

What other backends need is probably a totally different framework, that wraps up a react server renderer with native language bindings. Might be neat, but totally different.
I’ve never seen SPI that doesn’t require a CS line. The whole way that daisy chaining works is this. Do you have a device off hand that uses addressable SPI, I want to see how they explain it in a datasheet.

I only read the abstract and it suggests a direction of causation that the experiment does not give.

That's even worse. I'm struggling to think of any large energy company that ever had a tech-ish P/E ratio. There was Enron, I suppose, but that was because it was a fraud, and wasn't _really_ an energy company anyway. As a general rule, the energy industry doesn't have huge margins.

Stock bubble's, like almost all asset-price inflation, can be pricked by central bankers around the world by raising interest rates. The one thing holding them back is the fear from politicians as the debt-to-GDP ratios are at all time highs (if you exclude the World Wars eras). Even is they may seem independent they really are not.

On that note Biden kept Powell as chair of the Fed:

There are of course other instruments that can be used to prick asset-price inflation like taxation measures and making the holding of assets more costly. But that is unlikely. In fact they just gave a huge tax break to the rich:
