> The problem with this is that no interval of preventative testing can be rationalized. You don't know if once a decade, or once a year, or using your privilege to get tests every 3 months would yield any help in early detection at all!

Actually, you can study these things and see what it does to outcomes, and professionals have.

There's benefits from more frequent screening (and harms, too!). The benefits are tempered by a cancer manifesting at stage 4 could mean:

* You got unlucky with the screening interval and it showed up inbetween, or

* You have a really aggressive cancer that went from stage 1 to stage 4 in a small fraction of the screening interval.

The latter is interesting: if you are screening at an interval, the later stage cancers you find are, on average, more aggressive and faster growing. In turn, spotting them earlier doesn't necessarily lead to better outcomes.

That is: part of the reason why "finding cancer earlier" is associated with better outcomes is that it's easier to find less aggressive cancers earlier.

It is unfortunate to read about such decisions. I can't imagine the amount of waste, carbon footprint and other environmental impact due to such decisions. This is purely policy failure.

Observations on Resolver Behavior During DNS Outages
For a company that says it makes it super easy to deploy a container image and mentions that all you need to do "Write your code, package it into a Docker image, deploy it to Fly's platform"[0], they sure have a dearth of documentation on how to deploy an existing docker container.

I am not sure if I'm missing something or what, but here's where I looked:

* googled 'docker fly' and a blog post that references docker but as far as I can see doesn't have instructions on deploying docker images shows up[1].
* their getting started guide[2], called a 'speed run' which has all kinds of CLI commands but doesn't actually show how I'd pick a docker image.
* their quickstart docs[3], which outline how to deploy all manner of applications, except for, you guessed it, an existing docker image.
* scanned the menu of their docs, and didn't see anything.

I really want to like this service, as we have (at $CURJOB) an app packaged as a docker image that it'd be awesome to set up to run on Fly.io, especially with the multi-region postgresql.

What the heck am I missing? Can I just not read? Do I just need to install the CLI and all shall be made clear?

Not quite, but pricing is a little complicated AND we haven't shipped multi-shared CPU VMs yet.

Postgres prices are a function of the underlying resources. There are a bunch of steps between $7 and $28, you can put any size volume you want on your Postgres cluster and run 512MB or 1GB of RAM. 1GB RAM + 10GB volumes would be $14.40, for example.

Dedicated CPU VM types are much more powerful than the shared CPU. So the jump from $27 to $154 gets you, like, 20x the CPU power. I would like to have shared-cpu-2x, 4x, and 8x to give us a better cost gradient. So far it hasn't been an issue, though, people seem to want the extra CPU for a beefier DB.

For other (more advanced) search mechanisms, implement these in a designated search option in the taskbar, startmenu, standalone etc.

This means that Microsoft needs to abandon Bing and whatever telemetry they can gather from the user in the start menu search making this unlikely to be the reality going forward.

> The rule of thumb with cancer is that the earlier you diagnose it, the more treatable it is. So yes, please detect cancers as early as possible.

No one argues this is true. But there's mounting evidence that this is less true than one would have believed a couple of decades ago.

* First, as the parent to your post says: if a cancer takes 3 years to go from stage 1 to stage 4, detecting the cancer at stage 1 will increase measured survival by 3 years even if your treatments do nothing.

* Second, the stage at detection is also a measure of how aggressive the cancer is. That is, if you screen every year, and find 100 stage 4 cancers and 100 stage 1 cancers in your population... odds are the stage 4 cancers are much faster growing and more likely to become malignant. You didn't necessarily find them "earlier".
You return whatever results you can before the user perceives a delay. If you think a web search or slower search is useful (it isn't) then add a button to expand the search such as "Search the web for ${search term}" or "Continue this search in Explorer".

1. It is never ok for the user to perceive input delay.

2. There must be no compromise in service of law #1.

3. Your UX improvement is a regression until proven otherwise.

Open offices are a management trend and hardly universal among successful companies. Whereas remote work is an extreme aberration from the norm.

I have been at three companies since the pandemic started, all of whom you would know. All of them struggle with performance management and output of remote teams, regardless of if they are public about it.

This doesn't necessarily help with finding new friends, but Minecraft along with various video chat services really helped my 10yo kiddo hang on to his friends during COVID.

I made a point to get contact info for all his friends' parents so we could coordinate. I signed up for whatever voice/video chat app his friends wanted to use. With some friends he had to just use my phone.

I asked him to find out what devices his friends had, researched cross play games, and made a chart with device OS on one axis and cross play games on the other. Then we gave prepaid Steam/Google Play/etc cards to his friends along with copies of the chart so they could play together. They ended up mostly playing Minecraft.

I got both Minecraft Java and Bedrock so he could play with everyone. Seriously, that game, especially when they were able to play on servers like Hypixel, was the most like actually getting together.

His computer desk is in the same room as my worksace, so I ended up spending a lot of time helping him and his friends learn to communicate online, breaking up fights, mediating, making up, assertiveness training, empathy training, etc, etc. I think I was able to help them learn relationship skills that would have been hard to learn without a grown-up who could step in at key moments (and stay away the rest of the time).

It was a lot of work, and my employer was very gracious (my boss was doing the same for his kid).

I wish I had more to say about helping kids make new friends. I wish you and your kiddo all the best! Hang in there!

> it's not magic, it's the brain continually re-examining information (analytic) and building models (mostly inductive) in the background.

This is how I feel things are, that I have an analytic task that I'm not directly conscious of, but I worry about whether it's normal or if people are trying to convince me it's not when it is. Isn't there a pervasive narrative that rational thinking is conscious and the subconscious is irrational and emotional?

I tend to feel like emotions are in the foreground and clouding my ability to listen to the analytic part of my brain which is not directly accessible but most likely chugging along on something.

Often when I'm listening to something, like in a video call at work, my conscious mind just glazes over or is occupied with irrelevant things, but when it's time for me to talk, it's as if an assistant suddenly handed me some talking points that were prepared.
Former Google SRE here, I can share my experience although I've never been involved in a large serious outage (thankfully). I've had my fair share of smaller multi-team outages though.

Usually the way it works is so that we have multiple clearly-identified and properly-handed-off roles. There's an Incident Commander (IC) role, whose job is to basically oversee the whole situation, there's various responders (including a primary one) whose job is to mitigate/fix the problems usually relating their own teams/platform/infra (networking, security, virtualization clusters, capacity planning, logging, etc. depends on the outage). There's also sometimes a communication person (I forget the role name specifically) whose job is to keep people updated, both internal to the outage (responders, etc) and outsiders (dealing with public-facing comms, either to other internal teams affected by the outage or even external customers).

Depending on the size of the outage, the IC may establish a specific "war room" channel (used to be an IRC chatroom, not sure what they use these days though) where most communication from various interested parties will take place. The advantage of a chatroom is that it lets you maintain communication logs and timestams (useful for postmortem and timeline purposes), and it helps when handing off to the next oncaller during a shift change (they can read the history of what happened).

> There's no way hundreds of engineers, managers, network engineers etc. can get anything actually done as a group, right?

Most people will not really be doing much but when you need to diagnose a problem, having a lot of brains with various expertise in different domains helps, especially if those people are the ones that have implemented a certain service that might be obscure to the other oncallers. Generally speaking, it wouldn't be unheard of to have 30-40 people in the same irc channel brainstorming and coordinating a cross-team effort to mitigate a problem, but into the hundreds? Not quite sure about that much.

Just my two cents. You can probably get more info by reading the Google SRE book https://sre.google/books/
You know, you're not really missing anything, we just don't connect the dots very well.

Install CLI, run `fly launch` in a directory with a Dockerfile, and it should just work.

Most of our users don't start with a Docker image though, they start with Phoenix. What you're seeing is a little bit of indecisiveness in how we target the docs.

>He though Javascript was a fairly good scheme approximation ( although with too much syntax).

that one isn't too surprising because "putting scheme in the browser" was quite literally what Eich set out to do

"As I’ve often said, and as others at Netscape can confirm, I was recruited to Netscape with the promise of “doing Scheme” in the browser. At least client engineering management including Tom Paquin, Michael Toy, and Rick Schell, along with some guy named Marc Andreessen, were convinced that Netscape should embed a programming language, in source form, in HTML. So it was hardly a case of me selling a “pointy-haired boss” — more the reverse.

Whether that language should be Scheme was an open question, but Scheme was the bait I went for in joining Netscape. Previously, at SGI, Nick Thompson had turned me on to SICP."

I have done B2B sales since the shift to remote work.

The nature of the work actually highly lends itself to being in person. Even remote workers will be on some physical location the majority of the time.

"Encouraging the spread of disease"

They are stastically more likely to die from tripping on a sidewalk than dying of Covid.

Telling them they are "spreading disease" when it's literally a cold/flu is irresponsible...

The problem is the fear of COVID has reached religious status and only heathens talk against the Church. The COVID Crusaders will burn witches at the stake no matter if they are spreading fear not based in facts or reality.
"authoritarian minimalism"

Can we blame this on Apple?
So what? Yes people are richer, more gifted, more athletic than others. Can't we celebrate an achievement because not everyone can do it? All Olympic athletes have exceptional genetics and most people simply can't stand a chance no matter what they do. And most of them are not poor either, does it undermine the achievement?

And it is not that much money. Clearly, it is not for the poor, but it is something achievable for the upper-middle class in North America or Europe, you don't need to be a billionaire for that, not even a millionaire. Yes, flight lessons are expensive, but we are talking ultralights here, not jets, a flight hour is less than $100.

As for the the "self-congratulatory copy", that actually makes the accomplishment even better. Really rich parents could have just bought a plane and hire a few guys to plan for everything, register the record, done, the "rich kid" would only do the flying. She actually had to look for sponsors, set up a shop, and actually build something to finance the trip, it may even become profitable. It is not just a trip, she is essentially building a company and a personal brand, and while Zara obviously gets a lot of help, she is still at the center. Very impressive for a 19 year old, even with "rich parents" helping her.
I think that Zillow would shut that down ASAP. I'd review the terms of service to see what's allowed.

OP, I don't know your background, but if you are serious about real estate tech, I'd recommend getting your real estate agent's license and buy/sell a few homes. That'll give you an appreciation for:

* the sheer amount of money that flows through the system
* the non-fungible (and variable, over time and per person) nature of homes
* the stakeholders
* the amount of technology already in use

Or you could go work for a real estate tech company (like Zillow, OpenDoor, Boomtown, or any of the MLSes) and gain some expertise that way.
You're right, they should make that much more clear. I'd expect it to be on the left side menu, just like they have all the "Run a [language] app".

Based on your first link [0], I saw,

> You can run most applications with a Dockerfile using the flyctl command.

With that, I looked over the left-side menu, and clicked `flyctl`[1], since it seems that's what you'd need to use to deploy an existing app with Docker. After that, I clicked on "Launch an App" [2], which shows help for the `flyctl launch` subcommand, including a parameter `--dockerfile`. I think that's how you would deploy an existing app with docker?

>Mach, the microkernel, is not using in OS X and never has been.

The version of mach present in XNU is derived from OSFMK, which derives code from UoU's Mach 4 kernel, and from CMU's Mach 3 kernel. It contains improvements related to threading and contexts. It also definitely exists as more than an API. The code that makes up mach is present and identifiable, and thus is "in" XNU. [1]

>Mach, the API, is used (mostly due to legacy reasons).

See above. Abstractions are exposed, and traps are present, but this is not an API clone, it is mach, albeit modified from the original form. It was specifically chosen for its forward thinking benefits. Mach was not the basis for any major Apple OS prior to OS X. There were no "legacy reasons" to motivate its adoption.

>OS X has a Linux-style monolithic kernel (with legacy Mach APIs in userspace).

You do tend to see different opinions on this. Some argue macOS is a hybrid kernel, because it combines elements from a microkernel (mach), a monolithic kernel (BSD), and IOKit. A single address space is shared by the components though, which leads many to call it monolithic. [2]
