You will hear a US President say "the government has a monopoly on violence" before you hear one say "printing money causes inflation". If there's one thing higher ranking officers in the federal government think is more holy and sacrosanct than their right to jail and kill a lot of people is their right to get below market rate interest loans from the Fed.
You must have just had the bad luck to have read the most appallingly stupid books. I think you might be even a little older than I, and I got into the game late-ish; those C++ manuals or specs you read were probably from the 1970s or 80s? By the time I learned (imperative- and inheritance-based[1]) OOP from the Delphi manuals in the late nineties the virtual method table was explicitly mentioned and explained, along with stuff like "since all objects are allocated on the heap, all object references are implicitly pointers; therefore, Borland Object Pascal syntax omits the pointer dereferencing markers on object variable names" (which you also mention about C above). I'm fairly certain this gave the reader a pretty good grasp of how objects work in Delphi, but I still know nothing about what machine language the compiler generates for them.

It's not the idea of top-down learning from abstractions that's wrong, it's being given a shitty presentation -- more of an obfuscation, it seems -- to learn about the abstractions from that is the problem.

[1]: So yeah, that whole Smalltalk-ish "messaging paradigm" still feels like mumbo-jumbo to me... Perhaps because it's even older than C++, so there never were any sensible Borland manuals for it.
Technically? Yeah, someone could probably make a small device that incorporates all the necessary gadgets (would need to read the FARs) and then broadcast a signal.

Honestly, even if someone just scraped together GPS and a transmitter with a color changing LED (eg: red=fault, green=transmitting) and then worked with the FAA to set aside a squawk code for these devices, they would improve safety for everyone in the sky while also creating a product that would likely become a standard for several decades, if not more.
I don't understand why you would be against getting a free booster, or even a shot every 6 months. Is it more harmful in Israel?

Plenty of people said they already had COVID, and they are still in the 10X more likely to die statistics. Either they are had something else (like a flu or a cold, you wouldn't know without a test), or something about natural immunity isn't working. I won't speculate, I believe its the former (easier to confirm that you got the vaccine then if you really got COVID).
I didn't say anything about his "right," I said if Rogan had any sense Jordan Peterson wouldn't be coming around to tell a few million people that "there's no such thing as climate."

It's not a subjective dislike of anyone. Peterson said "there's no such thing as climate." I'm not even aware of a context that exists where that wouldn't be a stupid thing to say...
Kinda curious as to why you think so.
And if someone does it anyway, then what?
I agree, it's not the most significant factor. It would affect those close to retiring anyway. A bigger one is compensation. The reduction of funding of universities in the United States, and resulting loan cost, has made working towards a post-graduate degree very undesirable. Hospitals often cover the cost of working towards a degree, but if you are doing that you're more likely to become a nurse practitioner. Right now, working as a traveling nurse is extremely well-compensated. I had meant this article as just an introduction to the concept, you're right about the pipeline.

EDIT: Another thing is that nurses often go through 'preceptorships,' which is like a residency but much more focused and shorter in duration. It is how you accumulate a great deal of the clinical hours required by a Board of Nursing. It was difficult during my preceptorship to find people trained to be preceptors, as experienced nurses are dropping out. The difference between a green instructor and an expreienced one can be massive.

It's a mixed bag, but more positive than the phrase implies. The great ones are great, even if they are just infotainment, but there are some deeper ones as well. At the very least it's a great way to sample different creative fields and find out more about them.

My two main observations are:

1. There's a reason most of them say "So-and-so teaching <vague phrase>". You're not going to learn scales from any musicians, how to make jokes from any comedians, or how to write good from any writers. The craft part is up to you; they'll teach concepts, ideas, abstractions, etc relevant to their field, and ways to apply that craft effectively.

2. They all have elements of "Strong educational content" (EDU) and "infotainment / autobiography / motivational speaking" (TAIN), but some of them swing much harder in one direction than the other.

> The anti-vaxxers think the vaccines will kill them or make them sterile, or something...it is really hard to keep track of what their current theory is. Again, it's a free shot you can get at the pharmacy, the only rational reason for avoiding it is [..]

in one sentence, you admit that you don't understand what knowledge some person is operating with. in the next sentence, you claim to know what is rational for that person to do. if you're using "rational" in the literal sense, then you've leapt to premature conclusions.

and i get it. it's exasperating. there's a bunch of people who don't want to take a vaccine. and from the outside it seems that as more information becomes available to this group, their vocalized reason for avoiding the vaccine changes. they're being dishonest, and that's infuriating!

if this is what you're seeing, it doesn't necessarily mean every individual within that group is shifting their story. some certainly are, but many aren't and the group behavior can be explained by things similar to "evaporative cooling": some people leave the group as a result of new information (new people are still getting vaccinated, every day), and the people left behind are the ones for which the previously dominant argument wasn't their primary reason for not getting the vaccine -- and so the dominant argument of the group then changes.

group dynamics encapsulate way more complexity than just that one effect. and i think it's worth considering. you see that your own individual behavior is way more consistent than the other side's behavior -- and it is. but that's comparing an individual (yourself) to a group (anti-vaxxers). it's apples to oranges. the other individuals aren't seeing your individual behavior. they're seeing your group's behavior. they're seeing the exact same type of inconsistent and contradictory behavior that you're so fed up with.

what's the way out? well, we haven't found it, so it's hard to say for sure. but i think it has to involve empathy: seeing beyond the group, and relating to each other as individuals.

Now who's pulling out a strawman? I didn't say Peterson shouldn't be able to speak, I said Joe Rogan is a moron for giving him a platform to do so.

I was a sceptic, when I first saw 'blameless' post mortem used. Our sister group wiped out our production database and put together a lovely GIT issues template on how this was mostly not their fault. Great...

However... this has become one of the most powerful changes in our extended group's engineering culture. The focus on what happened and how, rather than the who. Each time, it is a chance to examine how things went kittywampus and how we can break that chain in the future. For the most part, I don't even think we include the names of the people involved. The process grew on me, the more we used it. Folks would fess up, rather than hide it and creating a snipe hunt for root cause. We were able to categorize where our pain point were and what we could do to stop it - and it worked. It really made the folks who could analyze what happened and how we could do better with what we have, shine.

> (And allowing soybean oil to be sold as pure avocado oil is not in that range. In case that was in doubt.)

Yes, and for that reason what those oils are doing is already against the law.

Identifying a current practice that is currently illegal is a weird way to argue for making other practices illegal too. It suggests that (1) the first thing will keep happening; and (2) so will the other things. You didn't have a problem with the law to begin with; how is changing it supposed to help?

I'm not super well versed in the science but it seems like reasonable parties advise against vaccination in certain scenarios. Also knowing that government bodies are more likely to prioritize group outcomes over individual outcomes it seems reasonable for individuals to be skeptical.

"5 Easy & Healthy Meal Prep Recipes"

https://youtu.be/1S3998B6BjI
First and foremost, a pro-tip: If you are planning a trip to Argentina in the near future, do some research about how to make the most of your money, because using a debit or credit card is worst than shooting yourself on the foot. There are both legal and "illegal" ways to do this, and there are also grey areas in the middle (Like, crypto)

---

This is an interesting article, but I haven't seen this happening much (yet).

First and foremost you have to recognize that Argentina is a very large country, with very different local economies, so there isn't a "one size fits all" experience.

All this brings back memories from my childhood (I'm in my late 40s) when there was a period of hyper inflation in the country; my parents used to tell the stories about those times when they went to the market right after getting their salaries and would pick stuff from the shelves before the person that was up marking the prices (This happened sometimes twice a day) got to the stuff they were picking.

But I wouldn't agree that this note is that accurate.

You have to understand that, except for the past 5 or so years where we had inflation rise almost from a single digit [1] to where we are now, we had a period of around 10 years with inflation below 11% (and some times as low 5%, as per the graph) a few years of turmoil (2001 - 2003) and then around 10 years (If I recall correctly), the last decade of the 20th century, of the dystopian "1 peso - 1 dólar".

So, basically, out of the past 30 years, the very first 25 were very easy for us compared to the previous decades.

What is stated in the article might apply to people +40 that might remember what the 80s were, and are frightened for what the future looms. But for a lot of middle class Argentinians this is new territory, up to the point where a lot of people that has money to expend (again, middle class) struggle with the prices - in a very first world problems way - because prices vary so rapidly that it's impossible to know if something is expensive or not.

I wouldn't go (much ;) ) on the economics of it at length because that's not what this article is about; my position is that the peronists failed to seize the opportunity they had in the first decade of this century, and then failed miserably trying to hide their failures. And the next government (Macri's) literally did a pull rug of the country's reserves with the 50+ bill credit lent by the IMF.

Besides that, as stated in other comments in this thread there are a lot of "funny" things happening like the mess of regulations that you have to go through when working for a company in a foreign country when you loose aprox. 60% of your buying power if you do enter the money illegally (While, at the same time, tourists are allowed to get legally a close to black-market rate for their money), or the fact that the tax brackets for freelancers do not keep up with inflation at all, thus actually inviting evasion.

Acksherly, yes there is. In this context, there is: The world doesn't need engineers "constantly pushing the limits of materials" when building bridges; let's stick with proven, boring, regulator endorsed practices and techniques for that.
Prime video has unbelievably bad performance on LG WebOS, and it’s not the platform because Hulu, Netflix, Disney, YouTube are all fine. If this is new and makes their app work acceptably, then great!

I’m sure this is already mentioned elsewhere, but are you sure the nonstandard license is pulling its weight? IMO it’s a distraction. In many ways a license is very much part of a frameworks API.

I'm sorry if not clear, but I was asking about the WebDriver spec [1]. The terminology gets confusing because WebDriver was a tool that then merged with Selenium and Selenium implemented the WebDriver wire protocol. If Playwright isn't using WebDriver, is there a new browser automation API?

Edit: It looks like it's using Chrome's DevTools protocol. I'll have to read up more on that. I thought Google deliberately didn't want that to be used for automation, but I'm probably thinking of something else.

Vaccines make symptoms happen earlier, so you can isolate earlier. That impacts other people.
Yup, had to solve a lot of issues around corner cases like these. So Hibiki HTML is built on top of React, so react / virtual DOM handles all of the DOM repaints and synthetic events, etc.

For tables and weird HTML syntax, there are two built in escape hatches. You can write any HTML element using the "html" prefix, so a table can look like <html-table><html-tr><html-td>...</html-td></html-tr></html-table>. You can then nest non-table tags inside of there without breaking the natural DOM parsing. You can also reference a component using the "component" attrribute. So <tr component="local-foo"> will render the "foo" component in place of the <tr> tag.

There was also a lot of dog-fooding for how to wrap <input> controls and how to make useful <table> abstractions. So there is functionality around merging attributes to children and injecting values into children (Hibiki's answer to "higher order components"). I was really focused on how to make a powerful enough component system to make using the components in HTML feel really natural.
it's obvious the parent is trolling.
Somehow, that's the default model when working with Phoenix/Elixir.
You could run a database for each user inside Spawner, and there are use cases for that, like being able to run queries against arbitrary parquet files or materializing a sample of a larger dataset for fast queries. But in general if you just want to store program state, you would probably want to use Spawner for the compute and a multi-tenant database for persistence. We expect that Spawner will usually be part of a larger system that involves some multi-tenant components.

Spawner doesn’t manage any persistence automatically, it’s up to the application. For some use cases, sessions are meant to be ephemeral (like a whiteboard session, or read-only data exploration), so there’s no state to persist at the end.

For apps where there is state to persist, one option is desktop-style auto-save. By that I mean that the ground truth document state is in-memory, but every change to it triggers an asynchronous write to a persistent store. This is preferable to one-shot persistence at the end of the session for the same reason as it is on desktop apps: if there’s a power outage or hardware failure, you only lose a few seconds of work.
> you either just got your M1

Yeah, and hold off for now. I'm the guy making sure that new onboards don't get blocked by M1 (as you can't but Intel anymore). Segfaults in docker/qemu (amd64 and arm64) are numerous: I can't build our otherwise boring (and recent) docker images locally - it has to go to a Linux ARM server. What truly bends my mind is that I am getting framerate/audio/input hitching on the desktop when one of the broken containers pegs 3 of the cores at 100% (and it's not just my machine).

It's a circus, wait for M2 or M3 unless your workload is influencing, blogging, and checking email.
> I think a lot of problems are created in the application of computer science because we treat reality as if there are no physical constraints - because often it is the case that our computers are powerful enough that we can safely ignore constraints - but in aggregate this approach leads to a lot of waste that we feel in every day life.
