> I don't really see how their actions are substantially different from other corporations of their scale.

I don't think they are, but the site/organization is just focusing on Google rather than "Big Tech" as a concept and industry, which is a reasonable approach given the size and magnitudes of it all.
Please don't take HN threads further into political or ideological flamewar. It's tedious, repetitive, not what this site is for, and usually turns nasty.

The main difficulty is that the penalty is laughable.

$300/day doesn't even begin to cover a single well-paid IT professional who can handle this project, let alone a team with resources.

It may seem trivial to HN audience to comply (hey, just do a SQL query and post the resulting CSV!), but hospital IT systems are oftentimes legacy dinosaurs, so a transparency project like this could cost millions of $ to undertake.

Why pay millions, when you can simply pay a measly penalty of ~$109,000 year after year?
I checked out a number of these Roam clones/Roam-adjacent systems like Foam, Athens, Dendron etc, but have now settled on Logseq. Seems to be working well for me after a month, although there are concerns [1] that there is a significant slowdown as your database scales up. I wonder how valid these are for the other services.

> Has anyone built a library on top of Vulkan, targeted roughly around the abstraction level of OpenGL, but with a better design?

WebGPU more or less fills this gap. It's built on top Vulkan/Metal/DirectX12 primarily, and targeted as a WebGL2 replacement, but there's also major interest (and right now, better support) around using it natively for games and other programs. There are bindings for Rust, C++, C, and Javascript (either through the browser, or using deno for native).

Here's an excellent tutorial that uses Rust, although the API is more or less identical across languages https://sotrh.github.io/learn-wgpu/.

I am on the upper rep band, and I typically copy from the question and paste into my answer.

It appears as though Stack Exchange accounted for that use case when showing User rep.

I assume the 0-rep users doing the copy and pasting are the same quality as programmers who post low quality "I'm in tech look at me" videos on social media.
Somewhat incredible that all of .PDF reading software is just bad. There is not a single .PDF reader that I think of as "This is a good program" when I open it. Maybe the spec (PDF) is just fucked, I don't know. That's my experience over the years as someone that consumes a lot of .PDFs.
It appears data scientists copy the most, which implies the one who automates others' work will get automated out sooner than we all think.

I guess if he paid me and I speak up on his behalf that makes me a shill according to your definition. I don't agree. He didn't pay me to defend him in any circumstances, I never met him, never communicated with him. Anonymity. There's significance in him paying me more than what he strictly had to, my point is it was highly unmotivated, it was like a taxpayer paying excess taxes.

EDIT: It's not like a bribe, he didn't pay me an outrageous amount. I earned it then, in full. It was just unusual because he wasn't trying to minimize what I got from working for him. And I spoke to another employee there who loved the place and the top thing on her mind was beyond its basic virtue, it was a place that didn't require a college degree to get paid decently. Go figure, the wage a place pays, without you having to play mind games and negotiation tactics day in and day out, matters. Wages drive employee satisfaction, who would have thought.
Yeah, I ran linux on the desktop (and laptop) for years and I learned a lot, but it sucks.

Occasionally I see comments on HN and I’m inspired to try again. It still sucks every time. Basic stuff like bad trackpad support, laptop failing to suspend, software scaling/resolution issues, missing drives on install, etc. etc. - you can hack it to work, but it’s not close. With M1 performance the difference is even more extreme than it’s ever been.

Use what you want of course, but I’m not sure why people pretend it’s something it’s not. Though OS arguments are mostly religious arguments.
> That is not the plan put forth by Medicare for All advocates.

I'm almost 100% confident it is. That money is currently being paid on behalf of individuals to insurers. Take the insurers away that money either goes to individuals and gets taxed, or gets sent directly to the feds. Either way it's a no-op.

> There is a strong undertone of income redistribution in progressive proposals for single payer.

Healthcare is the great equalizer. It's not insurance - everyone needs it and everyone will use it. There's not really a strong correlation between more spend and better outcomes past a certain point. Except in the rarest of cases you can't cure cancer with fat stacks. What offering healthcare does is give low income folks the opportunity to found companies without the fear of death. It dramatically reduces the burden on all businesses and especially small businesses by killing a massive cost center.

> I would also expect that if the government was taking that money my health benefits would be at least as good as they are now. And I don't think that will be the case.

Every healthcare system that ranks above America's is single payer or two-tier socialized. MediCal is set up to be punitive to the poors like all Medicaid programs. A Medicare system isn't. There's a reason not a single AARP member is advocating for eliminating Medicare. What getting everyone on the system does is it makes the political class beholden to the needs of the individuals.

I watched Donald Trump in front a group of older folks literally hug a flag and say he'd do whatever it took to keep the Democrats away from their Medicare. That doesn't sound like a system itching to be upturned does it?

Socialized medicine is no more a partisan issue in most countries than a socialized fire department or sidewalks.
Yes. I think the point is that the hard skills required to be a lawyer (e.g. case review, brief writing, contract interpretation, knowledge of the bar exam) are different from the soft skills required (e.g. client management, arguing at trial...).

But not that one is more difficult to acquire than the other.
There's too much other solids mixed into sewage to filter later.
Yea, it's a build system. The same problem exists with lots of projects.

The C++ compiler doesn't know how to build auto_generated_file.cpp, the build system does.
> No they won't. Some don't even support USB 3.0 (5 Gbps), especially if they are longer than 0.5m.

You got me on the long cables. The active TB3 cables are weirder than I thought. I'm not going to hold my breath USB4 fixed this, alas. Other than active long cables, I expect success (although tbh there's numerous beyond-spec (but likely adequate) ~0.8m cables too). As for 20Gbps, that sucks; I thought half-lanes was for ports only, not cables, and had rarely seen (& promptly ignored) 20Gbps cables when shopping. Thankfully these half-breed cables seem exceedingly rare, but yes, a pitfall. I still think your overall premise, "The most capable USB-C cable isn't just a TB3 cable," distracts from just how good an option TB3 cables are for most folks. >95% of TB3 cables on Amazon (old-ish & affordable now) are the most capable USB-C cable, but you've honed in on picky little nits & exceptions & made mountains out of mole hills. I protest; this is immoral.

> No you are the one who is wrong. .. there are a large number of USB-C cables that only do 5V 3A on Amazon such as this one:

I don't get what Amazon's up to, but you'd have to try real hard to make a cable that can do 5V 3A but can't handle 20V 3A. Cables are just not that sensitive to such low voltages, and connectors are too standardized to notice. And indeed, one of the (if not the top) most trusted, thorough, technical cable reviewers on the planet claims this cable is quite good, low resistance, and showed it doing 20V 3A just fine. Perhaps Amazon just lacked test equipment to confirm 20V, but whatever the case, to fail 20V would be difficult to pull off. https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2DXKTH7UAJIZ4/re...

Re-asserting: no, you do not need special cables for USB-PD. If a USB-C cable can't do 20V 3A, it's broken & out of spec & not USB. You're wrong & USB-C & the Type-C connector in general does not deserve this baseless & incorrect slander.
>Impossible to tell without knowing more.

It was a rhetorical question based off my experience with rust. I was running into this issue with building a site using warp along with some other dependencies. Those projects have been deleted off my system. I am not interested in chasing down performance issues with the compiler. Remaking the site using C++ did not have me run into slow compile times. I just want to be able to quickly iterate on stuff I work on.

>Does it actually only change a single byte in the binary?

It would be possible. I could do it myself using binary ninja / ghidra. I just want to be able to iterate quickly and try out multiple different values. I understand it's not that simple of a problem, but I just want it to work else I'll gravitate to making projects in some other language.

I’m concerned that you’re falling into the same trap here with integrating your own variant of JSX, and mulling over adding more things like hyphens in unquoted object literal keys.

JSX is popular enough that it’s safe, ECMAScript isn’t going to break it, but your alterations to JSX are already significantly incompatible: you have <input.search /> being equivalent to JSX("input", {"class": "search"}, null), but the JSX everyone else is using has that equivalent to JSX(input.search, {}, null). I’m not certain if your JSX syntax is supposed to be able to be used with React code or anything else that uses JSX syntax, but if yes then it’ll be broken in a significant number of cases so that it’s worse than useless, and if no, well, it’s going to be misleading, and what if JSX did get merged into ECMAScript in some form? Then you’d be incompatible with ECMAScript again.

Same deal with hyphens in unquoted object literal keys: it’s not part of ECMAScript now, but just because it’d be a syntax error now doesn’t mean it always will be. Decorators in TypeScript are a good example of things going badly wrong even when an extremely popular project is involved.

I say: if you want to go JavaScript, go JavaScript, maaaaaybe plus standard JSX conforming with <https://facebook.github.io/jsx/>, and no further. Even if what you do is obviously superior, &c. &c. I’d apply the same reasoning on your fork of CSS: you introduced it for a good reason back then, but now it’s just friction, even if it’s a little better in a vacuum (and maybe it is in parts, maybe it isn’t in other parts).

I am going to switch it out to sticky the post information and the collapse button.
Almost everything a teenager does is cringey and awkward. People are all imperfect creatures that learn from their mistakes through feedback loops.

The digital age is scarey in that it tends to preserve the past in a way that allows a mistake from five years ago seem like it happened just today.

For example, Mel Gibson. Two damaging recordings got leaked of him a decade or more ago and those cringe moments of his life will be preserved forever.

It wasn't like that before and this is not a cool feature of the modern age.
There is room in the middle between those two extremes. Law enforcement had serious interagency rivalries, the intelligence community wasn't able to say when another WTC attack would happen after the previous one, and even after that one nobody was living in the fear of random terrorist attacks, even though we had plenty of domestic ones.

My personal opinion is when confronted with their failure to accurately predict and prevent the 9/11 attack, law enforcement and intelligence both said well just give us all the money and unleash us. Our society is less safe now not because we decided to throw money at the problem, but because we decided to retaliate with force, which never deescalates the situation without a total victory.

So now we have less freedom thanks to the surveillance state, absurd debt levels, and no progress in fully dismantling the terrorist network.
> the use of Twitter threads in lieu of a Webpage

Yes, this is an extremely common complaint which has taken so many HN threads so far off topic that it just needs to stop. Nothing so repetitive is interesting. Some people choose to post great content in a series of tweets—for whatever reason. It's the way the world is and complaining about it on HN doesn't help.

There are plenty of private healthcare services in Canada. Ever been to the dentist?
The scary truth is that the prescribing doctor probably prescribed what they thought would best treat their patient's condition, and access to that medication requires hundreds of dollars because the manufacturer can simply charge that much, so why not? Your insurer denied you, again, because they can, so why not? Manufacturers give coupons that bring down the cost of their medications by hundreds, even thousands of dollars, so they have something to point to when they're accused of profiteering and exploitation. Your life and the lives of your family members depend on this system not fucking any of you over for a buck, despite fucking you over for a buck every step of the way.
That's not what the story is about though.
How do C++ programs / programmers enforce and manage modularity in the general sense if they don't even have simplest module system? I'm not even talking of having module functors like Ocaml, but something like Rust has. It seems to be one of the most obvious steps to reduce complexity and compose program of smaller parts.
I fail to see the slippery slope here. This kinda makes me dislike T-Mobile. Same as I would dislike any other corporation that does something shitty. And lots of them do shitty things all the time.

The GUI has been changed. See: https://github.com/textbrowser/dooble/issues/108
I took the meaning as: Array processing can cause hidden bugs (like GOTO). The bugs are usually introduced when the size of the array changes while processing.

Also ‘find’ing and ‘filter’ing arrays is more error prone (like not properly handling a miss on a find).

I don’t completely agree with the author, but the idea that more care needs taken when dealing with arrays is worth considering.

Arrays will always have important uses. Tuples, enumerations, and the like. However, ‘n’ database records shoved into an array and then iterated over in a for-loop is a cumbersome way to structure a program.

That’s my take on it.
Totally agreed with all your points above. I don't think a lot of EEs grasp yet how powerful KiCad 6 has become.

I have been mulling about creating a startup for helping EE teams transition from Altium to KiCad.

In essence, it would remove the friction points around maintaining both Altium and KiCad in the engineering teams. A small number of Altium seats would be used for the few boards that need specialized features, and everything else would be KiCad. Tons of $$$ would be saved.

Would love to chat about whether you think a service like above would make sense from your standpoint. My contact info is in the about field.

Do you have any factual evidence of corruption by the prescribing doctor? It is illegal for pharmacies and drug companies to give kickbacks to doctors. While that might still happen occasionally I guarantee you it is very rare. The vast majority of doctors write prescriptions based on what they think is medically best for the patient. If you have concerns over costs you can always ask the doctor if there is a cheaper alternative treatment to try.

>The quality that comes out of phone cameras is remarkable

It's more than that, it's completely mind blowing when you compare it to a DSLR.

In "good" lightning condition, your iphone will give you a picture 75% as good as what you could get with a 4k$ fullframe DSLR kit that's 10" long and weight a few pounds.

the problem is when light is not perfect, that's when the bigger lens/sensor are worth it even for a beginner that doesn't know much about photography. And if you need to edit your pictures, you don't get those extra stops of exposure up or down because the iphone already needed all the dynamic range of the sensor to create the picture you got.

It would be very interesting to see a colab between apple and a DSLR company to get the best of both world. A large FF senor and lens ecosystem like Canon combined with whatever dark magic Apple is doing on their tiny sensor would have massive potential.
