Thanks for the context. My layperson reader-of-newspapers understanding is that there are three issues with doctor supply: one is that it's expensive to become a doctor, which is hand in hand with spiraling educational costs, two is that it's painful to be a doctor, because of red tape, and three is that it is incredibly difficult to become a doctor and we actually don't have a lot of knowledge as to whether or not the rigorous selection process and training is actually completely necessary to produce a good doctor. In fact, the rigorous process might be selecting out people who would otherwise be good. (This being one commentary on the subject: https://www.baltimoresun.com/opinion/op-ed/bs-ed-op-0516-doc...)

How is Epstein at all relevant? I believe the conspiracy theory is around powerful people trying to keep their secrets secret. Meaning not let the US government know their secrets so they can avoid prosecution. So the US government would want Epstein alive. Why do you think the US government is prosecuting Ghislane Maxwell right now?

> they use a point system... that never actually checks for employability

Well, they both give major points if you've got a job offer so I wouldn't say that. But right now (COVID aside) I could apply to Australia, get my visa and be living in Melbourne inside 6 months, then citizenship in about 4 years. For the US, I'd have to:

- Get a job with a US company here

- Work there for a year and hope they're willing to transfer me on an L1 visa

- Hope the US Immigration RNG comes up with my name

- After working for a while, transfer onto an employment-based visa while hoping I get sponsored for that too.
I’m amazed at the reaction here. Lots of comments ITT about how this library is horrible and logging should be a solved problem from a security perspective. Similar commentary was here recently regarding some unsafe docker default.

Developers always want abstractions to make programming easier, but they never consider the cost of using those abstractions. It’s so convenient to place all the burden on library authors but you’re the one logging client supplied input in the first place!

Put a regex whitelist on your inputs wherever there’s a trust boundary. How come devs should never have to consider security but FOSS package maintainers do?

I know East Legon; in fact I live not too far from that neighborhood. I also grew up here, but spent some years in the US before returning. Maybe we can meet and reach a consensus (or agree to disagree) over coffee, if you're up for it :)

> The Ghana card requires it. It's called 'HOMETOWN' vs 'place of birth'. If you are a Fanti, and try to say Accra is your hometown they won't accept it. [1]

While the application may require you to specify your hometown, there is no verification for this, in so far as your many Ghanaians live and were born in towns different from where they traditionally come from. In other words, your hometown does not necessarily indicate your ethnicity, and many Ghanaians are of mixed ethnicity, like myself.

I'm sure I could claim to be from a different hometown, and they would have absolutely no way to verify it. As an indication that is it not considered an important piece of information, the hometown does not actually appear on the card you are issued with.

> For a living example, let's take the Akan supergroup. There are various tribes within the supergroup, and in general each speaks a language that is mutually intelligible with tribes that they border. However, the further you get away from your hometown, the less likely that you can easily understand what's being spoken even though it's an 'Akan' language.

It's just a matter of definition. I assure you that most Akans will not have a problem understanding the language spoken in other nearby towns, save for some groups that are distant from the mainstream Akan culture, like the Nzema.

> As per above, the Akan aren't a tribe.
In so far as they share many aspects of culture (e.g., matrilineal inheritance, a common origin story, common naming system, etc.) that are distinct from non-Akan cultures, then by the definition of "tribe" they can indeed be classed as such. Now you might prefer to call them a supergroup, but that does not invalidate my point.

See the point I'm making is, the concept of tribe can actually obscure that commonalities between people. There is evidence of significant cross-cultural influence amongst the various groups in Ghana. Many Ghanaians do not know this, but there is even an ethnicity ("tribe" if you may) called the "Guan" that is indigenous to 8 regions. They can be found an as enclave within almost every major ethnicity in Ghana. This fact shows how complex the concept of ethnicity can be.

> What would you call it instead?
A word like "ethnic group" does not have the baggage of colonialist attitudes, and it is used for people all over the word (including western countries), so I'm comfortable with that.

In part of the indictment he’s accused of literally helping Manning to crack password hashes she obtained illegally.

> The superseding indictment alleges that Manning and Assange engaged in real-time discussions regarding Manning’s transmission of classified records to Assange. The discussions also reflect that Assange actively encouraged Manning to provide more information and agreed to crack a password hash stored on U.S. Department of Defense computers connected to the Secret Internet Protocol Network (SIPRNet), a United States government network used for classified documents and communications. Assange is also charged with conspiracy to commit computer intrusion for agreeing to crack that password hash.

You're forgetting a step in your "reasonable approach". How do you expect a user to know whether or not they should grant access for HN.exe to talk to 127.0.0.1 or for mikewarot.exe to access some file?

The reality is the sort of system you suggest almost inevitably ends up being the same as broad permission-based security like current mobile OSes have, because the only scalable decision is "give it access to all resources in a category if it asks and that seems appropriate".

However, those systems DO exist in both Windows and Linux.
Some combination (sequential, parallel, meta, whatever convenient shape) of single tasks executed at super-human ability (computer vision + path learning are there already) would inevitably lead to some sort of singularity when coupled with just SoA motion, handling and decision making / optimization. Generalizing occasional singularities, though, still seems a long way ahead.

There are quite a few streamers who have been doing it for more than a decade at this point with no sign of slowing down.

Sure everything was more expensive, but not by the same factor. Main memory was smaller but also relatively faster compared to CPU. Search for "386 simm memory" and you'll see 60ns modules. Considering that 386 debuted with 12MHz clock, 60 ns is faster than one CPU clock cycle!

In other words, "reading the whole string from memory" could be a performance problem, but a less serious problem for machines of those days, compared to using a few more bytes to store the length.
If you don't mind waiting until near-future for support for devices to actually support these, the group that's building out the Matter spec just confirmed yesterday[0] they're also working on casting functionality, and for audio in particular the Bluetooth ecosystem is slowly inching toward LE Audio.

Back then assembly makes sense and many pieces of "large" software were written in assembly (or at least a critical part of them).

Go back another decade and people naturally take assembly as the second language after they are done with BASIC. Those were teenage hobbyists. Machines then (Apple ][, C64, BBC, etc.) were much simpler and didn't have a lot of memory. It was a lot easier to wrap your head around it. Nowadays it's impossible to do so I think, unless you have a long track of assembly career.

FWIW i wrote a small raytracing benchmark in C and Pascal (99% the same code just "translated") some time ago[0], mainly for comparing compilers for retrocoding and in my results Delphi 2 produced code that took around the 149% the time the Visual C++ 6 program took. Interestingly Borland C++ 5 was slower, though it predates Delphi 2 (also i forgot to benchmark Borland C++ Builder).

(note that this is from the second table where i check compilers that can generate code running on Pentium 1 Win9x - the first table was with whatever compiler i had installed on my PC at the time)

Perhaps i'll try benchmarking it again some day, including running on actual older hardware.

This sounds like a bad way to live, and I'm sure it is. But, I wonder if a similarly anxious narrative could be written about the average PM at a startup, or Amazon delivery person, or Uber driver, or really anyone with a demanding job that consumes as much of your time as it can. It seems like being swatted and harassed online are the more unique perils of being a content creator, but the 10-hour stressful days are not, and many people would probably trade their 10-hour stressful days at $40k-$160k a year for 10-hour stressful days at $2 million a year if they could.
Aren't you doing a bit of an injustice to that article by cherry-picking that line? It's obviously written humorously; the very next words are:

Clearly, "who cares as long as" is not the true belief of the author, but rather a mocking call-out of teachers who do think that way.

There are two bizarre design decisions that combined into this stunning security vulnerability: the automatic trust-the-world code execution (on by default) and the recursive parameter expansion (always on). They flipped the default on the former. They haven't done anything about the latter, AFAIK. I wonder if they will.

Although the distinctions you're drawing are valid -- from the bigger picture point of view, this is basically hair splitting.

The more basic and important point is: technology that works on the basis of "pattern finding" (however you wish to call it) -- even if it performs exponentially better and faster than humans, in certain applications -- is still far different from, and falls far short of technology that actually mimics full-scale sentient (never mind if it needs to be human) cognition.

Or that is to say; of any technology that can (meaningfully) be called AI.

I did learn one technique from this. I finally managed to put a stop to Capitol One sending me credit card offers in the mail practically every day.

I still feel more connected to the world when I tune into some FM station than when I am listening to some Spotify playlist. Same with TV: even if I watch movies or series on streaming services, I still watch the news almost every day at 7PM and, during the day I do switch in and out some national news TV network.
Both the TV and FM, even if flooded by ads, still make me feel connected to the world, while streaming services kind of put me in a bubble. Maybe it's worth also noting that in my country(EU member state) the ratio of ads to real program is limited and controlled by government. So stations cannot abuse it and take it to 50/50, the ads are limited to 20% duration (12 minutes every hour).

TV and FM ads are innocent children compared to the shameless promotions in youtube videos, for example, so I've learned to tolerate them, laugh at some of the worst ones, or just ignore/change station when I am not in the mood. TV is not dying in my house nor the radio in my car.
Oh yes this is pretty well known and pretty easy to know, just count the minutes of the show and minutes of ads… the show is shorter in syndication.

I don’t remember where but I’m pretty sure I’ve heard show runners talking about it on DVD commentaries.
Where I live there's a diamond interchange between two state highways controlled only by stop-signs at the end of the off-ramps towards the smaller of the two.

Near that interchange there is a neighborhood. For whatever reason, both sides of the neighborhood have traffic lights, so when traffic is heavy, if you want to go from the larger to smaller highway (particularly if you want to turn left!), it's far more expedient to cut through the neighborhood.
I would also guess that OpenBSD's SMP implementation is userland mostly. When it comes to kernel its still one big GIANT LOCKED so that is also one of the reasons why the performance is not there.

>> For doctors, that pay is well deserved given the exorbitant student loans that doctors carry, and the ridiculous shift length and other work related issues.

Disagree on many, many counts.

- do you know many specialists? Ridiculous hours are not part of the picture post-residency!

- deserved why? On the basis of what? More than a taxi driver who works long hours? A convenience store worker who works long hours?

- student loans are not that hard to pay off at US (medical) salaries! There are surgical specialities where the average pay is north of $500k. Family medicine and pediatrics make a lot less.

>> Convert hospitals to non-profit operations owned by a single-payer insurance and immediately save a lot of costs across the entire board

- converting hospitals to non profits isn’t going to do much because most are already not for profit.

- you save money with single payer (ideally) by paying lower prices… which is my original point. There is administrative bloat and burden in the system but it’s on the order of 10% of spending, not 40%.

And, just to be clear, you have to administer hospitals in single payer too so you don’t get rid of those costs entirely.

I can support single payer, but I support it to pay lower prices to doctors and hospitals (and pharma, but as I noted above that’s not a big slice of the pie either).
It would be great to see a cache layer in front of S3, in my experience fetching the original image from S3 will be slower than the actual resizing (regardless of the library used) and that happens at least once.

So ideally something like:

1. upload to s3

2. manipulate image to a friendly size (ie. 2048x2048)

3. write the image to an LRU cache (ie. memcached)

with steps 2 and 3 on a separate go-routine

Besides that, really cool project :)

That is what insurance is supposed to be for. Medical insurance should be more like home or auto insurance. My home and auto policies do not cover maintenance and improvement but they do cover rare catastrophic events. My medical insurance covers every damn thing that has to do with medicine. If I go to the doctor for an annual check up there is no reason that insurance should be involved as that is a regular and elective cost. If I break my arm that is unexpected and probably costly so I would have insurance to cover something like that.

Insurance is for uncommon events that you have little to no control over. The policy you choose should reflect how you want to mitigate your own risk of uncommon events happening.

I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. If I want to find a family doctor, there is a list of 3 clinics with doctors taking patients, in a metro area of 325,000. Older people have "the good doctors" and those doctors aren't taking on new patients.

Waiting lists for specialists are ridiculous, unless it's something extremely urgent. It quickly becomes about "who you know" and queues can be jumped if you have the inside track.

I've never been encouraged or "nudged" to get a physical or even blood work done. Quite frankly, the system is under so much strain that getting everyone a physical would push it over the brink. So they mandate them for commercial drivers and other high-risk occupations, and everyone else just goes to medi-clinics and sees a walk-in doctor. Zero continuity of care.

Canada is great at treating the dying, terrible at treating the healthy.

I'm self-employed. Dental, prescription drugs, glasses, mental health: this is all out of pocket.
