>This is why we shouldn't take medical advice from people who have read a few Wikipedia articles.

>sometimes the experienced doctor or researcher made a mistake, and the guy who posted something on Reddit is correct

Both of those points are true, and we can reconcile them thusly:

Broadly, the doctor is the fully educated, while the layman-interested-in-subject is making semi-educated guesses. However this relationship inverts on narrow subjects, like a particular rare disease: the doctor ends up making a semi-educated guess (based on his general medical education), whereas a layman with intense interest in this particular rare disease can easily be the fully educated one - again, on this particular narrow subject.

Yes, it’s always funny when people hate “the game”.

They could charge money and be less commercial but then everyone would complain about a paywall.

The world is the way it is because we made it that way. Our behavior, our limitations, motivations, etc.

Hopefully, we “evolve” at some point but until we better understand ourselves, it’s unlikely.

It’s actually quite difficult to understand all of our biases. Wish I had started earlier in life. We are not rational, by a long shot.

In the meantime, Quanta is, hopefully, providing much needed science to a more general audience, which the world badly needs.
There was a major change in this regard with the Affordable Care Act (now in place over 10 years). It eliminated the ability of insurers to deny health coverage if you have a pre-existing condition and have not maintained continuous creditable coverage. So the risk of leaving a job and losing health insurance is now much lower, since you can always get insurance later, or get it as an unemployed individual with a large subsidy if you don't have much total income. Neither of these things was true before.
Zope hails from the era when Python was trying to appeal to programmers by showing that it, too, could be a Serious Enterprise Language. Everything had layer after layer of abstraction and the code looked more like Java than Python. The Zope ORM was kind of nice in its own weird way, though.
This is essentially the same strategy that the Japanese used in the 1904 Russo-Japanese war. They launched a surprise attack on Russian forces at Port Arthur (where the Russian Pacific fleet was based) with the (successful) intention of destroying the Russian forces in the Pacific before the Russians could mobilize and provide a defense.

I've chatted with a couple of people who feel that their country (USA) is descending into chaos, and they don't feel like investing in a doomed future. I agree with the general feeling, but I'm trying to use it to motivate myself to have more fun.

As to why people feel doomed: Republicans are putting the most faithful trump zealots in places to most influence the next elections. Remember that the Republicans believe the previous election was stolen.

This gives them motivation and means to throw out results where Democrats win.

If they do that, I'm not sure if the country will split or fall into civil war.

The utter insidious evil of the election theft lie from trump is going to destroy the USA by removing any trust in elections.

Not sure what illegal consumer practice are you talking about.

Reading through the points from the page you posted - I think internally only actions related to that were basically to add more info (e.g. popup/hover or just "on our site") to clarify to people that same as every other marketplace on the Internet ... coughAmazoncough ...

Things we show are just things we know about and have in our "inventory".

And actually after some of those changes - I believe some customers started to complain that reminding them how "X other people are looking at {name of hotel} for your dates" felt much creepier than "X other people are looking at {name of hotel}" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

PS. Only reason I wrote a quoted "inventory" is that unlike physical goods with real stock. When you're renting accommodation - on top of physical rooms, there's extra dimensions due to different dates, meals (because in many hotels restaurant can't support everyone having breakfast, half/full board/meals) ...etc.

Yes - it's kinda ugly at the moment, having all the `a` prefixed functions - but I think it's intended as a kind of long-term-intermediate step - since the whole of django isn't async at the moment, and needs to have separate versions for everything.

I (wildly) speculate that once the ORM is async too, and all the rest of the bits fall into place (maybe django 5?), maybe django 6 will drop the `a` prefixes and integrate it all back together somehow?

I've always followed Django as Python is my first language and still my 'natural' way to think about code. The more I look into it, the more I feel like the learning curve is a bit like a camel's back. Easy for some stuff. Hard to figure the middle part (usually because not understanding "how" Django really works). And easy at the ends after knowing how you can "mould" Django in certain ways. It feels like a great multitool for the professionals who need to create project after project.

I believe the middle part of the learning curve can be easier, but with the "social cruft" of all the Django tutorials out there, it's a game of luck to encounter what's good and what are the different, sensible, approaches to handling growing/big Django apps.

What can make this easier is a document/discussion of some sort that provides clear, complete, approaches. Here are some aspect that needs to be considered. I believe with the combinations defined, and describing the tradeoffs will be a very great start for any team/person looking to jump into Django, or improve their next project.

- Postgres seems to be default. SQLite + Litestream is there but still bleeding edge.

- Packaging is the hot topic, for sure. Pipenv, poetry, venv, etc?

- Traditional Serverside Templating + JS enhancement (HTMX/Hotwire/etc), or JS based SPA (React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, etc)

-- This also includes the asset compiling story (Tailwind JIT, Sass compilation, Babel/webpack/rollup/etc)

- Fat models, Fat views, or Service layer? To which extent?

- Single app (Doordash) or Multiple apps (Thread with >500 apps)?

- What's the theoritical limit to using Postgres + Disk/Memory Caching (so no external Redis/ElasticSearch/other services needed)?

-- Search, queues/async job, scheduled jobs, reports, emails, etc

EDIT: A view additional points

- Documented limits about using whitenoise to serve static assets, and when & how to move to S3. Also Cloudflare/CDN fronting

- Cloud storage story (uploading to S3 api from FileField and Rich Text fields, and also async jobs)

-- Proxy story to enable <a download> from cloud? (Maybe a bit far, but I think this is a common request)

- Deploying/Serving optimization (is gunicorn the best option for now? how to scale w/ regard to vCPU counts to avoid the 25% CPU Max utilization?)

- How to debug between inefficient query/app code/templating/serving/caching?

I'm sure there are more points, but it would be great if there's a documented sensible approaches to evaluate. I know there are templates, but great discussions about the tradeoffs of complete "packages" are rare.

This talk really changed my thought process on careers. Basically every corporation in America is fundamentally unstable to work for, where you COULD be laid off for essentially arbitrary fiscal goals. That instability makes it impossible to trust your leaders (i.e. the company) to actually support you. As long as the people who pay your salary don't think long term about organizational health, people will be forced to play games and constantly job hop.

I recall an HN comment that the Van Riper story leaves out some details. Like, while he used motorcycle couriers, they were simulated. In network terms, they had low latency and no "packet loss". But it sounds funny, so it gets repeated without the qualifications.

Same thing with the F-15 vs F-22 fight, where the F-22's had to visually identify targets before engaging, stripping them of advantages.

That said, I don't think the US Navy is prepared for drone zerg tactics. I hope I'm wrong.

"Royal Marines commandos 'dominated' US troops and forced them into a humiliating surrender just days into a mass training exercise in the Mojave desert, it has been revealed today.

British forces took part in a five-day mock battle at the US Marine Corps' Twentynine Palms base in southern California, one of the largest military training areas in the world, and achieved a decisive victory against their American counterparts.

The Royal Marines, along with allied forces from Canada, the Netherlands and the UAE, destroyed or rendered inoperable nearly every US asset and finished the exercise holding more than 65 per cent of the training area, after beginning with less than 20 per cent.

Combatants used paintball-style training ammunition, which fires with reduced pressure and velocity, along with hi-tech simulators for heavier firepower like artillery, and live ammo on expansive ranges.

Seeing no opportunity for victory, American combatants asked for the exercise to be 'reset' halfway through the five-day exercise, having taken significant casualties from British commandos. "

> Maybe I just don't know, but this stuff really seems dead. I've spent some time digging out of curiosity and I've never found a hint of anything similar today. It seems like it all moved online into social media and now instead of dancing all night in warehouses or going camping to hear a band people just stare at phones and have their brains sucked out by "engagement" (addiction) maximizing algorithms.

People still go to concerts, raves, clubs, etc. Over the summer NYC streets were packed with young people going out as restrictions were lifting, so this isn't it.

Unless there's a select group of people who truly are addicted to technology and some who aren't (and the former is a silent majority), it's not accurate to say all young people are 24/7 on their phones and never go outside to talk to people.
Extra disclaimers apply - I work for ADI, but I am not familiar with the details of GDPR, I don't live in the EU so I'm not covered by the GDPR, nor am I a lawyer, nor do I work on/with the web or compliance team.

I did forward your concern to the folks responsible for the web site and GDPR compliance - which I know they take very seriously.

From a personal opinion standpoint - while I'm sure there is some clarification to be made on the description, things like " ... provided you have not opted out of such data processing." could have been written " ... provided you have opted into such data processing." Neither says what the default is (the way I read it), just that there is an option.

The EU web site that you point to (for making a complaint), has options for "opt-in" and "opt-in less" (their words are "Accept All Cookies" or "Accept Only Essential Cookies"); there is no opt-out there either. Who is to say which are "essential"? On their cookie description page https://ec.europa.eu/info/cookies_en (which is actually pretty good, and more detailed than most), they don't say which are essential and what are not.... so still have no idea what I'm agreeing to...

Not saying that the ADI site is compliant or not (I only know that lots of folks worked on it and spent a lot of time on it), also acknowledge there are always room for improvements - which may or may not happen (Again - not on that team) - only that's its hard to communicate some of these things sometimes...

> some doctor can get quite upset if you dare to suggest a diagnosis

A well known idiom is that when the client says he has a problem, he's right. When the client tells you what the cause is, he's wrong.

Don't tell the doctor your diagnosis. You didn't go through a decade of medical training. Tell the doctor what you've observed, let him conclude the diagnosis.

Projectpro Review – Big Data and Data Science Review
>Generally speaking, you should trust someone whose professional or experienced more than some random stranger. Especially if it's not one person but a large group of experienced professionals

Except if the large group is mostly a handful of experts with non-scientific private interests (say, to publish papers, to get grants, paid by companies with a product to sell), plus a large mass of professionals who seldom/never question the information they receive and just follow everything they read from their research and protocol-setting breathen.

When non-reproducible papers with BS mistakes get top citation counts and are held as gospel without any researcher/peer reviewer bothering verify them for decades, does anyone really think the average "professional doctor" really questions what they're told to follow?
I guess that was my problem- I was looking up the links via anandology.com assuming that was where they'd be archived.

>Many of my staff and friends don't want to have kids, make no effort to find a partner and find all sorts of excuses

Is the lack of affordable housing and/or environmental disasters really responsible for people who lack the precondition (eg. having a partner) for buying a home?
For me biggest issue are synthetic FAQs because they don't really offer anything that documentation would not. Worst offenders are when CEO tells some intern that they need FAQ on the page so that people can see that other people are asking questions about product ;)

Ideal FAQ lets you search or has questions in a way real person would ask, as those should be written down in a way most people asked such questions. We could even have index of multiple forms of the same question pointing to the right answer.

Problem with documentation is that it is not written there to answer questions. It is written from perspective of "how system works" so someone just writes it down.

For technical documentation like a language I don't expect much need for an FAQ because audience should be able to pose questions and answer those by themselves and then search what is provided like a manual.

For web application or government websites that general audience should use I don't see "documentation" approach viable, you need "Questions and Answers" approach.
Sure, but it's easy to fall into the trap of "the fix is to just restart it". That's dereliction of duty.

Looking at the key recommendations, there appears to be a policy aspect playing into this as well. If you feel lonely, consider this at the polls - Who is advocating for social infrastructure and having a commitment to more than ourselves, including those who are vulnerable?

On the flip side, be wary of those pushing personal liberty above all else and those who are trying to damage public health campaigns and institutions like health care and education.
