In relation to #5 we had to drop pay by ~6-7% due to medicare cuts in 2021. Me and my MDs salaries are paid directly from medicare ( and other insurance companies who peg their compensation to the medicare rates ) so we have no choice but to drop salaries or close up shop.

With the inflation numbers this year I have no idea what we are going to do, since we are already 6-7% in the hole from the 2021 cuts and now inflation is 8-9% ( assuming the economic numbers are correct... )
I've been riding my bike these days and its been fine if I find some residential street that runs parallel to the stroad, or I just bike on the stroad's sidewalk if it can't be avoided. In my city at least that's legal as long as you aren't biking recklessly, and I stick to jogging speeds and will just walk it if there's some foot traffic, so its no more dangerous than going for a run at that point.

The WSJ article was maddening in failing to even mention that for the years when the 787 was assembled in both Washington and South Carolina (up until 2020?), the vast majority of quality issues were coming from South Carolina. So much so that some airlines stipulated they would only take Washington-assembled planes. Now that the 787 is only assembled in South Carolina (Boeing doubled-down on their strategy despite the well-known quality issues), no doubt the ongoing defects issue is as least partly related, and not merely "microscope" related.

Typescript “generics” (type parameters) are probably the most powerful such feature in a mainstream language at the type level. Of course neither Java or Typescript generics improve code performance versus the T<any> or T<Object> version; whereas the Go version will improve performance due to memory stenciling or whatever they call it - memory allocation shape is improved and data is actually inlined into the container struct, so you can avoid pointer chasing all together if that’s your goal.

But there are two major drawbacks in Go generics now:

1. Methods cannot be generic, so you can’t do any chaining-style interfaces like thing.Map(…).Reduce(…) if you want to output a different type.

2. Possibly even worse: you cannot cast from Container[ConcreteType] to Container[any], or from Container[any] to Container[ConcreteType]. In my limited experimentation this was the most surprising blocker for me since it’s quite natural to work with Container<unknown> in Typescript, and possible (although I’m not sure how idiomatic) to do Container<Object> or Container<*> in Java/Kotlin.

Still when writing “normal” Go (as opposed to trying to abuse the type system), the generic slices package is a noticeable pain relief. But I actually don’t find myself implementing generic containers too much in the Go domain.

When did that happen? If you are thinking Obama care, uhm, no.

> BTW, no government is going to spend unlimited sums to save your life.

You are missing the point. Supply and demand curves break when it comes to life and death matters. That is why prices should not be dictated by a free market. Well, I guess that is fine if you are a sociopath.
First, if you read the GP, there’s an equivalency implied. You’re commenting on my message out of context.

We are all caught between the rock of 'You should get this degree because you are serious about the actual theory of Computer Science' and the hard place of 'the job this degree unlocks justifies whatever it takes to get what you need done.' I enjoy some CS theory(especially theory of computation!) and other nice things but hate school and will never go back. I got my degree in CS for the monetary benefits, not because I was heading in for an enjoyable academic safari.

I will also say, as this person appears to be only a bit older than myself(I would say OP is no older 30) it doesn't shock me at all that they could have learned everything a degree would have taught you eventually just by reading things online. Other than some some algorithms(eg flow, more advanced trees) and some discrete math I can believe you'd hit on most of what a CS degree could offer, if you're willing to find it for yourself that is...
https://beepb00p.xyz/myinfra.html is, to me, the definitive go to "look how ultra we could be" site of yours, @karlicoss. i show this off to people on the regular, it's so impressive.

i feel like there's such a gap, that it takes such dedicatiom & effort to have the digital world we interact with report back & give us the facts of whats occured. i dont know what futures this obstructs but it's a drain on general human possobility & energy that man-made reality, unlike the gods, is so deeply resistant to revelation & exploration.

i've seen comments calling the submission a vanity project, and it admits to it's owm uninterestingness to a certain degree. i think karlicoss's far broader spanning digital self sensing & ordering has a far higher chamce of helping us distill out meaning & sense from the world. but what a bold & hard sojourn just to start, just to begin to marshal the data. critics abound but i for one think we have so much, are only just starting to understand & calobrate ourselves in a technoaugmemted mode.

currently the technology all resists technoaugmentative exploration. this is a crime against humanity, against our base human spirit. we dont know what is possible, what we could do. we cannot explore better possibilities. we have now two examples of goong far, but all the systems around us resist this open exploration: we are all chained to the wall of plato's cave, and few bother to break free. i await & pursue an emergence.

> There is no evidence that the NSA monitors US citizens since the phone metadata collection program shuttered in 2019.

This is an amazing sentence.
Another way to look at that is that Medicare is vastly underpaying for services, as the system is currently run. Basically, private insurers subsidize Medicare/Medicaid, and many providers either refuse to accept Medicare (as allowed by laws) or would go out of business without a sufficient private insurer base.

So, private insurers aren't charities that aim to support 'lucrative' payouts either. The often-huge gulf between MC and private (as you said) means that costs would have to drop massively if we did MC4A. Who's going to tell hospitals/admins, and more importantly, doctors and nurses that they have to take a 30%+ paycut?
The cable this sub tapped was the line between Kamchatka and Vladivostok. Both sound a bit like Nantucket, but really aren't in Massachusetts or any other US state.

This thread started with "track and monitor its citizens" and continued "If you think that’s wild, ...", the latter of which was going for the tu quoque, i. e. "the US is worse than North Korea", for which the example is useless.

It would work well in supporting the argument that the NSA (or CIA) had some rather sophisticated technology all the way back in the 80s, at least compared to North Korea, which, frankly, wouldn't be very surprising but at least somewhat sane, which makes it a rather sad commentary on the state of discourse that there is zero doubt which argument the parent comment was going for.

I certainly don't understand what you're trying to say, and replying with four words definitely won't help me.

Perhaps there's some confusion of what a runtime check is. A runtime check is executed at runtime, which means that it will be executed after compilation with a specific compiler, on a specific architecture, in the end user system. The runtime check verifies correct struct operations at runtime, as part of the initialization, and aborts the driver load, with a nice system message, if improper packed struct behavior (among other things) is seen. This covers your concern here:

> Unless your code will only ever run on that exact machine, you have not tested it.

It literally is tested on every machine, when the driver is loaded.

This runtime check handles the cases where a customer might try to run it on some new hardware/toolchain that we don't officially support. The official supported cases only have risk of new compiler bugs, since we only support certain architectures. Hypothetical compiler bugs are a problem for all software, and shouldn't be used to drive software design, beyond making sure there is good testing, which has nothing to do with compilers.

Maybe I'm missing something.

My mother dropped out at 14 and got a GED by 15 back in the 70s because she was so bored. (Parents didn't believe university was for girls, so that wasn't an option).

Agreed. So much that the git part doesn’t seem to remain a priority anymore.

I use Github for some of our public repos and it feels so much better than Gitlab. It was surprising to see they’ve improved.

I don't see how my opinion of the reasons someone else's behavior denies you autonomy in any way.

disclaimer: former Heroku person here too

Some examples of the things I've missed around developer experience for a database, that Craig and the team made possible at Heroku Postgres, include:

- fork: ever had one of those "why does this bug only exist in production?" problems? It was so trivial to fork the DB and run your tests/hypothesis/whatever without the risk of actually impacting production. Same thing for _really_ testing a migration script or load test.

- follow: a similarly easy approach for getting a read replica which is super useful for generating reporting.

- dataclips: "hey, can you tell me X?" sure, and here's a URL to the results that you can refresh if you need an updated number in the future. So great for adhoc queries.

All of these are obviously doable with RDS and/or other solutions too. But the time taken to do any of the above was often measured in seconds, at most minutes. It's difficult to communicate just how impactful those kind of improvements are to your workflow. It's like it subconsciously gives you permission to tackle whole new problems, build better solutions, get answers to questions you never thought to ask before. Because the barrier to entry is so low you just do these things. You don't sit around wondering if you could.

A great developer experience around a database (one that goes beyond setup and basic ops) is a severely under appreciated thing IMO.
That makes one of us.
Assuming they’re the same type of window, the writer clearly has experience.
It probably would have happened, and my understanding (from contacts at Apple) is that they had macos working on top of zfs internally and were gearing up to launch it.

Then Oracle bought Sun, and thats when everything fell apart. Presumably Apple deemed it too much of a legal risk to use zfs even with the CDDL, because of how litigious Oracle is.
There's a general rule of thumb that I have about any business: if it "looks busy" and people are running around, yelling into phones, unavailable for questions, etc., it's probably either understaffed or ineffectively organized. A workplace where things aren't visibly moving is one that is ready to make plans and respond to events smoothly. The productivity rate is somewhat independent of the "busyness rate" since there are a huge number of ways to stop work from needing to be done in the first place.

However, this seems to be unsatisfying to modern management styles. Apparently if you aren't running the employees into the ground like an Amazon warehouse, you're "leaving something on the table".

My comment was primarily to give the opposite side of the same coin as the parent comment. It sounded like we were probably similar children whose parents made dissimilar choices.

He seems to think his parents made the right choice. I wanted to confirm that I thought the choice my parents made was the wrong one.

You can read bragging into it if you really want, but it's extrinsic to the conversation.
It also cues your organization up for a failure cascade. You don't have workers who want to stay, you have workers who are forced to stay. As soon as they can leave, you're not going to lose "1 or 2" you're pretty likely to use a substantial plurality since whatever changed probably changed for all of them at the same time. Can your organization survive with 50% of the staff giving 4 weeks notice at the same time?
Do they dim to a dark color? The shades can get warm but they're white and reflect a lot of energy. If the windows are dimming to a dark color it might just be the difference in how much sun they absorb vs. reflect. I wonder if it adds up enough to become a frustration for cabin temperature.
You're just falling for the propaganda.
There was also no evidence before the 2013 disclosures (to my knowledge) that the NSA monitored US citizens using phone metadata at all. A bit of healthy scepticism is good for you.
I've setup 2 mail servers in the past 3 years and can reliably deliver to Gmail and Hotmail.. AT&T can be a chore I've found, they have been mostly unresponsive, but very little of my targets host there.

The 2022 answer is actually to bake the CDN into your PaaS. Requiring a whole separate CDN for static assets is complication no one needs in their life.
Many years ago I worked as a contractor at a financial institution that was a little full of themselves. I had to be escorted from the entrance, through the main office, to a smaller, "less secure" room inside the main office. The bathrooms were a short walk away from the less secure room through the main office so I had to have an escort to go to the bathroom. The escort would wait outside the bathroom for me and escort me back to my desk. While annoying and inconvenient (and ridiculous) it wasn't really a big deal until I came out of the bathroom one day to find the escort had disappeared. (I later found out he had someone kind of family emergency and had to run home, I guess dire enough that he didn't have time to inform me.) I asked around the office where my escort had gone but no one knew so I walked back to my desk on my own.

The next day the CTO called me into his office and said he should have me fired right then and there for violating security protocols. I explained what had happened but he didn't care because it looked bad for him. Apparently I should have had someone call security to escort me back to my desk.

Two months later they started construction on the room I was in to provide a path to an exit that didn't go through the main office. To use the bathroom I had to go through that exit and leave the building, walk outside to the main entrance and use the "non-secure" bathroom and then be escorted back to my desk through the office.

Windows is slowly but surely moving to UTF-8.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/globali...

> As of Windows Version 1903 (May 2019 Update), you can [...] use UTF-8 as the process code page.

> Until recently, Windows has emphasized "Unicode" -W variants over -A APIs. However, recent releases have used the ANSI code page and -A APIs as a means to introduce UTF-8 support to apps.

Of course if you use this, your app will only run on very recent Windows versions. But that's how it goes with OS features. We'll start reaping the benefits 10-20 years from now.

I was an ecommerce developer, moved to a sales engineer role after being on the unpleasant end of too many optimistic sales...

For years - YEARS - ecommerce RFPs included "one click checkout?" as a requirement, even while it was an active Amazon patent. Once the patent expired, our platform team implemented a one-click checkout feature. There's nothing fancy about it - you need a saved address and a saved payment tender, et voila. And still, the merchants would list in requirements, "One click checkout, must-have"

And I don't think even once in fifteen years of doing this did anyone ever actually use it. It helped me with demos, for sure.

In reality, Bolt and Fast weren't responding to a burning need for one-click checkout - they are (were?) responding to Shopify's locked down checkout, but they're all chasing the same greedy idea: use a "quick checkout" process to build a marketplace ecosystem, a la Amazon, and skim a percentage of every dollar in the orders that pass through them to do that, selling on the idea that quick checkout will boost sales. Which it might for some brands... but it usually doesn't have a noticeable effect.

But being a drop-shipper on a centralized marketplace is not what brands want. Amazon is, at best, an unpleasant necessity. You get a boost in sales up front, and if you make enough noise, Amazon starts selling advertising around you, and if things are going REALLY well, they spin up their own knockoff brand. With any luck, by that point you're a strong enough brand to drive people to purchase directly from your site, and then some startup comes around suggesting they can give you a better checkout experience than Shopify... and as you hear the pitch, it's transparent that they're just doing the same brand-erosion thing as Amazon and Shopify, and that erodes trust.
While I myself am frustrated with the bureaucracy and inefficiencies of govts, but I am not sure if its entirely fair to compare a govt with a private company/org - at least based on the scale they operate on and the profit motive, which make it very different.

> (There are complexities and counter-examples that moderate this generally true statement.)

Guess, based on that I cannot really have a counter argument here :)
I don’t think it has to be that precise, it just needs to be two tones with a slight frequency difference so you get interference coming and going to make a beat frequency. But i guess your brain does this “in software” since the sound doesn’t actually physically mix in the stereo headphones. I guess if the two tracks are not perfectly synced you just get some phase shift/drift

If you search for `binaural` on Spotify or whatever, you’ll find a bunch of playlists. The delta/sleep tracks are probably the easiest to notice the beat since the beat frequency is set to 3-4Hz

I think there is a symmetry in equivocating about having kids while worrying if our AI progeny will lead to our collapse and obsolescence.

Some days I work until I feel like I'm going to collapse, but I'm doing it to provide my kids with a world-class education and the resources to compete with their peers. They daily demonstrate my impending obsolescence. Good!
