I practice, but most of this article rings true for me as well, and I think most of my colleagues would consider me pretty idealistic.

Residency training is mostly cheap labor for hospitals. Working 36 hours straight every third or fourth night (common when I was a resident) saves teaching hospitals from hiring night floats or other coverage. Trying to make any kind of important decision for another human's medical care after you've been up for 24 hours is like trying to do so after several shots of alcohol. Such a schedule does not teach efficiently, endangers patients, and stresses the mental and physical health of physicians. There have been new work rules supposedly limiting residents to 80 hour work weeks, but they are routinely ignored.

Physicians spend most of their time trying to bring order to chaos. Regardless of a physician's specialty, I daresay each was shocked to learn how much time he/she spends basically just trying to simply coax new behaviors in patients - as such, performing at some level as psychiatrists (who I respect greatly - tough work). That's the challenge; everything else is pretty much plumbing. Either you find that work interesting (and it can be) or you soon get pretty burned out dealing with humans as they are, and they are obviously at their (usually temporary) worst much of the time when they need medical care.

My own colleagues are the best people I know - I still see the driving compassion there on a daily basis, and I think that's true for the great majority of docs. On the other hand, I've met a few physicians who would be happiest in concentration camps performing medical experiments on the inmates.

Some of the comments on that page are even better than the main article/rant:

"Last note, what bullshit is it that your plumber can charge whatever he wants to unclog your drain, but if I replace both knees the insurance companies automatically take 50% off the second. What am I, fucking Payless?"
Then they'd have to show that spoofing your country was actually illegal, as opposed to just against their policies. Don't fall into the trap of equating terms of service with laws.
Just out of plain curiosity, could I please see the scraping script?
It's ironic that it doesn't have to be this way at all. It's counter productive other than it makes someone richer. Doctors want to keep their high prices with artificial barriers such as these and the glamor keeps the supply relatively high.

"None of these reasons should have stopped any decent doctor from taking the path. "

Here's part of the problem. You don't know what it's like to be a doctor, until you become a doctor. I think that's somewhat unique to the field. You can go into it with the right intentions, but it's not like people doctor as a hobby or as a passion and then decide to go into it. It's not like being a musician, or a programmer, sports or pet sitting.

I generally agree with the old Bertrand Meyer's advice that if you have a "you should never do X" in a language's documentation then the language should just not permit it, so this strikes me as strange.

This technique works best if, for your particular goals, there exists an x such that "Doing x every day will help me meet my goals" is true. If you're a stand-up comedian, x is fairly clear. For many people (including me), it's not obvious that such an x exists. (It's still probably worth looking for it, though.)

It really depends how 'carefully crafted' your queries are. If there are things like index hints, you can just strip them out. If you are using non-standard mysql specific syntax, that will be a bit of a pain, but it won't take more than a day or two to fix a few hundred queries.

Where you are going to experience the most pain is that MySQL lets you write idiotic queries like this:

SELECT id, last_name
FROM some_table
GROUP BY last_name;

That is not valid SQL, for good reason.

I've heard good things about the Forrst Podcast:

http://forrstpodcast.com/

Very web-centric.
The good devs would be happy because those rare bugs you found could take them months (literally) to track down from user reports.

One company I worked at had both buffer overflow and timing problems and didn't dedicate the time to fixing either properly so easily half the bugs we found were the same giant ones (and thus always ignored even if crash-level). This slowed us incredibly as you can imagine. The timing bugs could cause really anything and the buffer overflows prevented us from stuffing commands properly which kept us from ever reliably reproducing the timing bugs.

Eventually one of the lead devs fought through the backlog and implemented scripting into the product itself and we were able to get a much better handle on things through more intensive and repeatable testing.

These days I expect the developer has written specs for their code at the unit level. How else do they know what they claim to be delivering? So the job of QA (or, as I'd prefer - just another developer playing QA) focuses more on testing the stuff the weird stuff, edge cases, etc.

Automate everything. Writing a system to parse screenshots to decide if your windows drew properly is cheaper, and sooner than you think, than manual testing. Especially if you count the cost of bugs you miss through inattention.
It seems that category theory is the new hype -- almost nobody actually understands what it is about, or, more importantly, what it is for. Let me tell you what it is for -- it's an important technical tool in mathematical research, which gives you new, coherent language, sometimes provides you with an additional insight in the structure of the stuff you are researching and makes it easier to notice and classify similarities between different kind of structures. Unfortunately, it is almost completely useless and uninteresting by itself -- because, well, what's interesting in objects and arrows anyway?

What make category theory interesting are its connections with various field and math and computer science. That's why introducing "category theory for dummies" makes completely no sense -- it's like following Erlangen program to teach kids about points, lines and circles on a plane. The need and the significance of Erlangen program arise when you learn about many different geometries, notice what they have in common and what they do not, and try to find out what the geometry is all about. Without it, the Erlangen program is all about abstract bullshit, and the situation is completely the same with category theory. But nobody writes or posts Erlangen program for dummies on HN. Why? "General theory of everything" hype, that's why. Erlangen program is "general theory of geometry", but geometry seems a bit pale when compared to everything.

If you really want to understand the significance of category theory, then learn set theory, then algebra, then topology, then algebraic topology and algebraic geometry, or take abstract programming languages theory path. If you don't care about all this stuff, because you're hyped on the category theory, then you're missing the point -- it's like you wanted to learn about algebraic topology, but did not care about algebra or topology.

Also anything that has "for dummies" in title should invariably remind you of Norvig's essay (google Peter Norvig 21 days).

Also my old comments about category theory on HN:

There are internal and external roadblocks when trying to learn a new skill as an adult and sadly both become reinforcing. Externally I think there's a lot of cynicism from other people wondering why you are bothering trying to learn something new as an adult. They doubt that you can do it for various reasons including the favorite that you're too old to learn and that you must have started when you were five because the brain is so ripe.

But I always thought that belief was illogical, especially if you believe learning itself is an actual skill. If learning is a skill as much as say drawing, then you should only become better at trying new things as you get older.

Initially (1.2.x and older), all vars in Clojure were `dynamic` as in they could be rebound thread-locally. In Clojure 1.3, vars need the `:dynamic` metadata to be made dynamic. To ease the transition, in pre 1.3.0 Clojure, vars with earmuffs were automatically declared as dynamic with an warning. That behaviour is now gone in 1.3.0 and thus the new warning.

I had never heard of Michael before now, but now that I know what he has worked and strived for I feel very sad for his loss. Just as we need FOSS evangelicals, we need free literature evangelicals such as Michael.

His legacy is in his contributions to the public.

I'm not sure if they actually cut or just threatened

They cut the program. Before the California State Government (CSG) passed the Amazon Tax, I was making over $1000/month in Amazon affiliate commissions, which blew up on two days' notice. My account currently says "This account is closed and will not generate referrals. Access to this site is for historical purposes only." I've not yet seen any sign of the account being reinstated, and I don't anticipate ever being compensated for the income lost while the situation was in limbo.

Will the affiliate program for California residents eventually be restored? Perhaps, but I wouldn't count on it, and God only knows what CSG will do next. I'm currently in the process of moving my legal residence to Nevada, just in case.

There are a number of benefits:

1. InnoDB has certain optimizations that PG lacks which can make a big performance difference at the high end: index-only queries, insert buffer (or change buffer in MySQL 5.5+), clustered index

2. Lightweight connection creation: MySQL can handle many more concurrent connections and also can create new connections much faster due to threading vs. process model

3. More flexible replication: PG is catching up, but MySQL still has the edge here imo.

It seems that the Inkling tablet can be only used to transfer pictures you draw on it to computer. If that's true that leaves out working in graphics editing software, which is a quite big limitation.
If you only want to get drawing to computer a scanner might be a better choice. And it won't limit your choice of drawing tools.

I've always thought Groupon was funny.
I could start a business where my sole business plan was that for every 95 cents you gave me, I would give you a dollar, no strings attached. I'd probably have a billion in "revenue" even quicker than Groupon, and I would probably be more profitable too.
This might be a gross oversimplification, but it's still true.
yes, it is heavily patched to support things like IPv6 (which the Apache foundation claimed was "impossible"). However, the code-base is getting a bit long in the tooth, a more modern replacement will be nice. I am curious however about how they are going to implement CGI with nginx, as tons of applications still rely on this.
No, like I said, the special theory of relativity is based on the speed of light being the same for all observers, not on its exact value. That is a supposition on which the theory is based, not one of its predictions.

If, for example we now find out that neutrinos move with 1.0002% of the speed of light, but that their speed is the same, measured by any observer, we will just replace the speed of light constant in the special relativity formulas with the speed of neutrinos constant.

But that all depends what the interpretations of the results are going to be.

One of things that puts me off Postgres is the constantly shouting "Postgres is better" (and please, we already know in which areas Postgres is better, nobody is debating that) without ever addressing the actual needs of the vast majority of MySQL-users.

Most of them aren't DBA's, and they don't need to be for the purpose for which they use the DB. For them, MySQL is a tool that just works, without issues. And they certainly don't have any need to deal with the less than helpful Postgres community, touting "advantages" that are completely irrelevant to them. Hell, most MySQL users only use a fraction of the features in MySQL.

If they ever migrate to a different DB, it's more likely to be a MySQL-fork. Although Postgres could very well replace MySQL, the Postgres community chooses not to address that audience. Which is fine, but than please stop pointlessly pissing on MySQL at every available opportunity...
Atelier.

I had to look that up. Turns out it's French for "artist workshop". [0] Why not just use the plain English equivalent? But that's not what was interesting. Digging around I noticed http://www.classicalartonline.com Did everyone miss this?

Making a dollar in art is difficult. It's so difficult that markets exist to make art to order, to solve some problem. Usually selling a product. Advertising. This really isn't art but design. Fine art doesn't solve any problem other than the artists own. As a result, fine art can be an acquired taste and difficult to sell. So how would you go about making a business online with fine art? That was an idea pg had and became "The Artix Phase" [1] before Viaweb. Art galleries online. At the time the idea didn't work.

That's what makes "classical art online" interesting. Learning art online would be difficult though. A lot of the learning happens as a tutor looks over your shoulder, sees the result & makes suggestions in technique, subject and a multitude of other related tasks that make up the craft. The learning happens in the dynamic of pupil, tutor. It's personal and I don't know how you make this process scale without a tutors presence.

Having gone to MIT, gotten burned out, and gotten better... Yeah, that about sums it up.
I'll quote PG himself: "One thing I do feel pretty certain of is that if you're against software patents, you're against patents in general. Gradually our machines consist more and more of software. Things that used to be done with levers and cams and gears are now done with loops and trees and closures. There's nothing special about physical embodiments of control systems that should make them patentable, and the software equivalent not."

By speaking out against software patents, you are essentially saying that programmers are not capable of inventing, or that they should not be afforded the same protections that other inventors receive.

Wow, now that I think about it, I haven't committed 9 years to anything remotely productive yet.

Coming on 5 years with electronics, programming, and guitar/music (started all of these in college!). The electronics and programming are part of my job(s) but I'm at least happy to be pursuing music purely out of my own interest and doing it nearly every day.
