This could be interesting to look into. It looks like there already exists a project that can generate BUILD files for external crates.

My 2 main gripes with Bazel was that it was a pain having to rewrite the build system for all of my dependencies and that it's claim of being reproducible is weak in the sense that there are not even warnings when you use resources from the base system (eg. compilers can include files from the base system which may not be the same / exist on another) (this is a problem since I wanted to use a header from the dependency I built with Bazel and not something already on my system)
The price transparency rules became effective on January 1st 2021. A change like this will always take time for everybody to implement. But, I agree. If CMMS doesn't penalize non-compliance hospitals will drag their feet indefinitely.
I take it the processing model was trained on a dataset of Magritte’s paintings?
We're pretty skeptical here, and politics is fairly actively discouraged.

In addition, we have DanG, one of the best moderators around.

I'm very thankful for the good signal/noise ratio here, and try not to mess it up myself.
I was doing this for a while with Print to PDF > Print as Booklet in Adobe Reader and then staple it together as a lil pamphlet. Works great but the only downside is the little pamphlets would get mixed up with all my other reading material..
I can believe he is really one guy.

When I look at all the "Kinda interesting" projects on my hard drive that died out halfway-through, and compare myself to Fabrice, I think that Fabrice is merely:

- One of the least lazy people ever

- Mentally healthy

- Not publishing small projects he does for himself

- Able to consistently pick projects that are both useful and clearly-scoped.

The project-picking trick is, make programs that work on existing data.

When I make a game, 100 hours of work does not yield even 1 hour of good gameplay, and the game doesn't do anything but let you play the game.

But when Fabrice makes QEMU, there is already a bunch of OS images you can try out in it. When he makes ffmpeg, there is already a bunch of media files to decode and transcode with it. When he makes JSLinux, there is already Linux stuff to play with. And QuickJS runs existing JavaScript code.

Being too original sinks a project. Every time you see a fun project like "I made my own virtual machine, OS, and language," remember, that project is a game, which provided 100 hours of fun for the developer and maybe 1 hour for you. The game is self-contained and doesn't gain any value by inter-operating with the rest of reality, because the VM, OS, and lang are all one-offs.

Fabrice isn't held back by the idealism of "I'll rewrite the world all at once". His stuff is great because he's replacing individual components with stuff that works better, in the same machine. Like GNU did.
If it's so tedious, maybe someone can come up with a more unified language that accomplishes the same thing?
As to the case, it's interesting and it looks like he lost (with prejudice) in the eyes of the law: https://www.casemine.com/judgement/us/60053d864653d0759a1b0f...

He also was intentionally an instigator and I wasn't present to see what his educational process comprised, but I'm guessing not much. There's a "thing" about "owning the libs" which doesn't have any interest in building consensus or anything like it (in fact, the opposite -- it's literally the whole point of it). He played dickhead poker and lost. Whomp whomp.
The fact that many people here (which I consider smarter and more informed than the average population) misunderstand this, I think proves my point.

Mammograms under 50 give MORE false positives that real positives. That means it's not even a useful data point. If you have a positive result, it's you're more likely you do NOT have cancer than you do.

You really have to understand your base rate of expected occurrence and the effectiveness of the test. These can wildly affect how to interpret the results and tell you if you should even take the test in the first place.

Here's a somewhat related Numberphile about false positives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8xlOm2wPAA
> My partner cannot drive, so I need to buy a bigger car so that they dont endanger my kid.

I've seen this same logic from many people who have asked me for my advice about vehicle purchases. The thing is, the evidence doesn't support the conclusion that larger/heavier vehicles are safer. In fact, it's just the opposite.

We really need stricter licensing requirements for driving in the US. Compare the way people in Germany drive to the way people in the US drive on average, and it's night and day. Most Americans drive aggressively, without regard for others, with little attention being paid, looking just barely in front of their vehicle and never their complete surroundings, and without even basic understanding of vehicle dynamics or roadway rules and etiquette. I daily see drivers, especially in larger vehicles, incapable of even maintaining lane presence while going straight down a highway, which is like remedial driving 020 skill levels. Most American drivers aren't even at 101 level.
Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppmann is one of the best technical books I've come across. The author achieves just the right amount of breadth and depth while keeping the narrative interesting and not academically dry.
I need to rephrase this, but I mean declarative like Terraform here - you specify the end state, and don’t worry about how to get there.

It’s close to a Makefile in intent that way (which I wouldn’t call a config file).

Other tools end up with confusing CLI args as a hacky config.
And anyone who has dealt with socialized medicine in the OECD will tell you the exact opposite :) Wholesale reform is needed, and that can certainly be part of the package. However, parceling it out is a great way to achieve absolutely nothing as evidenced by the current morass.

Ok. Yes, that makes sense.
Back in 2004 I saw an interview of Larry Page who talked about how they wanted to be different from Wall Street and be more humble and nerdy and less evil.As a nerdy kid I became a huge fan of the Google counter culture against the evil Wall Street “derivatives” culture in the early 2000s and admired Page.
Little did I know that the Burning man, Grateful Dead , Don’t be Evil was glossing over and corporate speak for one of the most evil and powerful organizations ever making money off my privacy and ads.
Meanwhile Larry Page is retired in a Pacific island or New Zealand with billions and no concern for the minions and the working class ideals that he and his Michigan family stood for.
Animal Farm is truly an important read .
>Don't forget that the US pressed into military service all the fit men 18-36. Didn't resort to slave labor.

The irony here being, of course, that while the US courts ultimately disagreed, forcing people to join the military is arguably itself a form of slave labor. It is certainly a form of involuntary servitude.

> The German and Japanese homelands were not bombed until they were already losing the war.

The Allies had begun bombing Berlin before the US entered the war. So if your contention here was that the Nazis were losing from day one, sure. Otherwise you're not correct.

> The Nazi prosperity before WW2 was fairly limited

The German prosperity before the Nazis took power was fairly limited. That was in fact one of the primary reasons the Nazis took power in the first place.
There's straight-up blank spots in our raw vision, we don't see ~any color at the edges, etc., and that's just the _start_ of what our eyes/brains elide out. Really crazy stuff.
The past couple years have kinda sucked due to the pandemic.
I would simplify the problem as choosing between a boring but proven approach to things and a more innovative and exciting one that has a bit more risk. Like most things in life, I would try to balance it. Because I don't have the kind of stress resistance and energy that's required to go 100% on the more risky stuff all the time, but at the same time living 100% on the other side could be unbearably boring after some time.

At my day job I work as a Java+Angular developer on an enterprise software, but if there's a chance to do a small freelance gig on the side, or my personal projects, I'd take it as an opportunity to try out the "hip" stuff just to learn what's good about it and if I like it or not (most recently Nuxt.js).

Also the older, more stable tech are still getting cool updates too but at a much more slower rate, and very often adopted from the newer languages/frameworks. So if I've played with the newer stuff too, I would know what the update is about and have a much easier time getting used to it.
> You have to provide users a better service

Same applies with piracy. You can't fight on price on a service provided for free by motivated volunteers, but you can at least take the fight on the quality+speed of service and convenience.
Ref-counting GC and in particular implementation that is used in QuickJS is more deterministic I would say.

In QuickJS:

function Foo() {
let file = new File(...);
file.write("Happy New Year");
}

The file variable (object in it) will be destroyed immediately at the exit from the function.
Which is more suitable in case of Sciter that is embeddable [in native applications] engine.

Contrary my TIScript that I was using before had real moving/compacting GC. Objects were freed at GC cycles (in galaxy far far away from invocation).
The argument that not all CPUs running Linux have hardware SHA2 is valid, and therefore can't be assumed. However saying because one (even a significant one... though it's arguable it hasn't been the majority for a while) doesn't and therefore it shouldn't be used seems shortsighted at best. For decades various minority features have been enabled in the Linux kernel. Since when is lowest common denominator the desirable target to utilize exclusively?
For what it's worth, messages I just sent to and from my Google Voice number to my Fi number (while on T-Mobile underlying) went through fine.

Moved to mac from Linux around 2010 after being exposed to it by a few other developers. Never ever looked back.

Sitting on a 2013 mbp maxed out, just required a battery change this year. Still usable but will move to the M1 2022.

Blows my mind devs are still stuck on windows and linux machines.
My house probably burned, we’ll find out in the morning. Family is safe, got out in time and we have a place to stay, so blessed in that regard.

We just moved from the Bay Area last year. This isn’t an area in the wilderness, it’s suburbia. This would be like if 600 homes on the edge of Fremont or San Jose burned.

Freak situation where we haven’t had rain in 3 months, winds were super high, temps were high for Dec, and it sounds like power lines went down. Unreal.
Agreed. The first line of the article says specifically for "companies and their investors to stop using Net Promoter Score (NPS) as a KPI", and NPS doesn't provide a measurement that directly supports specific actionable steps; KPIs are supposed to be about planning for actionable, measurable steps toward a clear business outcome.

(And I have plenty of opinions on how useless KPIs have been in practice for me and the places/teams I've worked. They're hard to get right unless everyone in management is on the same page about what a clearly defined business goal is, and what an actionable step is, and what a strong metric for determining whether the action met the goal is.)
Why mandate a single price? Don’t we want prices to be competitive? As a young doctor I may want to bill at a 10% discount?
You aren't really comparing apples to apples here. Android is an open source operating system used by dozens of different hardware vendors. Crapware is only installed by some vendors. And iphone rarely has the best displays. They usually trade places with a few other Android vendors for best camera. As for security, iphone usually is the best. But it varies with different Android vendors in how well or how poorly they implement security.

> As a software engineer I love reading our NPS reports, because they always have great tidbits of info that are often difficult to deduce just by looking at standard analytics.

What you love is the customer feedback--this can be accomplished in multiple ways and you don't need NPS for it.
"The law of supply and demand" isn't a right.

> You can (and people do) invent and define rights all the time.[...] That doesn't make them rights

Huh?
One company I worked at used NPS internally to measure employee satisfaction and holy hell did they not enjoy seeing what that looked like.
Contrary to most, I actually like the long compile times.

I also like programming in Rust without a linter.

It really makes me think about what it is I'm doing. I do not have the luxury of typing something down, compiling it, and running it after every change to see: "does it work now?"

To be fair, that's only in my personal projects. I understand this is a major issue in the "ship it quickly -- everything else be damned" environment of commercial programming, where one must rely on all these aides to get something reasonably done in a reasonable amount of time.

It was a major headache when I first learned the language, because the syntax is so rigid and exacting; but it did force me to really understand the language, instead of just being able to throw shit at the wall and consult technical docs everytime I wanted to do something.
It doesn't seem plausible to me that an organization that refuses to create reliable components will create reliable systems out of the components.

On macOS, over the years, I have been trying to stay with the default native apps and programs that comes with the OSes as much as possible.

Right, but it can only guess at what the eye sees when hardware limitations don't allow it to capture enough information. Maybe most of the time it guesses right, but it's still a guess, and it appears sometimes it guesses wrong. Really wrong.
For me it's partly because I want to cross-train for our IoT stuff that runs Linux, and partly because of FOSS idealism that I don't ever want to give up on.
If anyone says the AI revolution has failed because it hasn't given us strong AI roll your eyes and go the other way.

Or if you want to engage, ask them what their definition of intelligence is and how would they benchmark it.

And once they come up with some kind of exotic benchmark they are sure a computer couldn't pass, ask how many humans would it also exclude.

The best example of this was someone I talked to who thought embodiment was the key to Strong AI. Their definition of intelligence excluded Stephen Hawking.
Because if you're a big company you don't run your own surveys - you pay one of the big CX companies like Maritz, Medallia, InMoment, etc. to run them for you or for smaller feedback not requiring a full management system you hire one of the 100+ research firms to do it for you. Because these firms run surveys for tons of clients, they generally have standard practices for how & when feedback is collected and are willing to share industry-standard benchmarks for things like NPS. I worked with two of the names above on a 2-year stint with a major auto manufacturer that sent over a million surveys a year and NPS comparisons were one of many tools used to get meaning out of responses.
I can't speak for the author but as a Linux user since 1994, I use macOS because I want to use Studio One, Logic, Cubase, Final Cut Pro, Affinity apps, and other proprietary software that doesn't run on Linux. I also love the M1 Max chip's performance and battery friendliness.

I still use Linux too.

re Trump vs BLM flags, the former refers to a specific person of a specific party and that flag is literally a representation of fealty to same.

In the latter, the words that comprise the phrase cannot be contested (but actually are, which only increases the validity and urgency of the phrase). If you want to throw in another color or flavor there then fine, because that statement comes from a position of inclusivity. Yes, all lives matter but we all know that life ain't fair and certain groups of people have it less fair than others.

For many, unfortunately, the phrase BLM matters too because they've been conditioned to associate that phrase with purely negative connotations. So for those individuals, seeing a BLM flag they see the flag of their enemy and that, of course, must not stand.

So to compare and contrast vis-à-vis Trump vs BLM, with the former you have "Hail to The King" and the latter being "let's end police abuse of power" that has been rebranded as evil by its opponents. They're coming from completely different intentions and intention matters a lot.

BTW, I wouldn't support Biden flags in the school either.

But putting up a flag that might comfort LGBQT youth in a world that is hostile to them? Or a flag that explicitly states that they matter? Your homework assignment is to compare and contrast those flags.
Please elaborate on including LISP. Having been programming since the 1980s, its influence seems more a persistent curiosity than fundamental concept. C/C++ may be the more relevant unchanging language, core concepts applicable to most modern languages (which just re-implement them with more depth of expression, and less room for system-crashing errors).
It's not absurd, it's statistics. If you're trying to detect something that's fairly rare, it's very easy to have a test produce more false positives than real positives.

That means if you randomly take a test and it has a positive result, it's more likely you do NOT have the cancer than do.

More detection of cancer and earlier is great. But testing has it's limitations and the general public doesn't always understand the statistics involved to apply the tests correctly.

Your summary doesn’t make much sense.

Part D plans are administered by private insurance, who do negotiate prices.

Part B drugs aren’t negotiated even today. Government has a formula for what they will pay, but there is no negotiation.
The problem with phone raws is that either:

1. They're not raw, they're aligned and merged and denoised and sharpened just like this iPhone photo (they're just linear so you can adjust white balance and recover shadows, working with them the way you could a real raw file)

or

2. They look like total garbage, noisy as heck and horribly soft, because the sensors are tiny and the lenses are simultaneously limited by diffraction and refractive error.
That's a shame. Being able to use React/Vue/Svelte/etc with a relatively tiny native dependency would be fantastic.

Any pointers to discussion on what JS/DOM features it's missing that React needs?
The switch between Android and iOS is more jarring. Once you get really used to Android, iOS seems very unintuitive by comparison.
> A poor American is still in the global 1%.

America's population is 4% of the world, and the poverty line is below the 25th percentile, so NONE of America's poor are in the global 1%.

> That doesn't hold up when you look across the globe, which is my main point.

Poverty is relative because poverty is social exclusion. Social exclusion from the very things you talk about:

> a sense of purpose in their lives, and meaningful connection to friends, family, and community [...] stability and security.

Poor Americans are excluded from all of these things, same as poor people anywhere else -- even though poor Americans have a level of consumption that may be higher than elsewhere.

Also the absolute consumption level is really irrelevant. The instability and unreliability of access to housing dominates every other aspect of consumption.

So as you fly through the air after being ejected in a car crash, make sure to pull out your phone and negotiate upfront pricing with your providers before you hit the ground and are rendered unconscious.

While I agree after the fact billing is stupid, your scheme implies people choose their hospital based on rates as they are flying through the air after being ejected from a car in a crash. Make sure to choose wisely before you black out!

Or, every doctor visit has an attending billing assistant to explain costs of care to both the doctor and the patient.

Because the doctors don't know and don't have time to know.

In the end this is all Republican laissez faire fantasies. We need socialized medicine, like ever other civilized and (by our standards) uncivilized country has.

I have no clue when the Republican party would have been able to push any coherent reform to the health care system. 50 years ago? The modern Republican party exists solely to defend entrenched oligarchies and anticompetitive cartel dominated markets. That's what campaign finance rules reward.

The Democrats also perform the same function, but at least with some attempts at reform around the edges, because that's what their voting block demands.
