It's interesting because they aren't software engineering rules. If anything, they are industrial engineering rules that pre-date software and certainly older than the mentioned book from 1975. The approach I was using was developed specifically for healthcare and with great effect in some organizations. I know this is HN, but I think it's an error to assume everyone is coming at a problem from a software perspective.

>What solution would you suggest other than more people?

It obviously depends on the situation but most of the time it comes down to reducing process waste. That may be automation through software where a nurse was hired specifically to only generate reports 40 hours a week, to re-designing a layout that minimizes travel time for nurses when they are delivering to patients. My experience with the staffing situation is that managers did not know how to staff to meet the needs of their patient loads and just revert to simple heuristics that left them understaffed at some times while being overstaffed at others.

> That's probably too limited actually. Because you can have a whole bunch of stuff in PAM: LDAP, OTP, Yubikeys, and all kinds of other fancy modules. Doesn't seem that unix_chkpwd handles any of that.

Yes, you're right. unix_chkpwd doesn't handle any of that and, in fact, was never intended to handle any of that -- and that's the entire point!

The entire design of PAM is, well, to have separate "modules" that are "pluggable" depending on how you need to handle "authentication" -- LDAP, OTP, Yubikeys, etc.

That is, the pam_unix module (which uses unix_chkpwd) is used when you enter in your (local user account's) password. If you're using something else -- LDAP or NIS or whatever -- for user accounts (i.e., your "passwd" database) there are separate (PAM) modules for that!

> Also, I still think it has to be a network service, ...

No, it really doesn't and, besides, there are other alternatives that would be much better to use instead of a network socket (such as a local UNIX socket, for one).

I really try not to make such remarks here on HN, but in this case it does seem that you have a fundamental misunderstanding of just how this stuff works (which is almost certainly why you're comment has been so downvoted).
UTF-8 support for filenames would be a great start, to support windows filenames in a multiplatform way in C!
Not a mechanical Engineer, but I can imagine how.

Both for pieces abutted against each other and for E.G. rivet holes, mechanical interfaces have extremely precise tolerances to support a range of possible stresses. Too wide a tolerance in one area can allow deformation and wiggle that applies unexpected forces on other areas. You should also remember that many aircraft are pressure vessels, since they operate at altitudes where the density of our atmosphere is substantially different.

Absolutely. To each according to their authority.

RaDonda Vaught made a mistake, and admitted it, repeatedly, in multiple interviews.

But that mistake was only partly because of her free will. Vanderbilt University Medical Center incentivized her to make that choice, for their own profit, and with control over her employment.

RaDonda Vaught goes to prison.

VUMC pays a fine and nobody goes to prison.

I think HN takes a dim view of a company holding someone's contract in their hands, saying "Do something illegal or I tear this up," and then blaming the employee when everything explodes.

They're playing chicken with patients' lives, and passing off the charges to their employees when they lose.
They are scientific questions with scientific answers. For the particular issues you mentioned, it would be great if the scientific answer supported that more women could work in big tech or that race does not determine intellectual ability, so we shouldn't discount environmental factors unless we can certainly rule them out. For the latter, we have plenty of evidence that race doesn't determine intellectual ability, yet the right continues to pretend that we don't. For the former, there is no strong evidence either way given what we have seen happen in the medical field over the past few decades, yet the right opposes any policies encouraging women to enter the field.

I mostly want the code to public as a matter of transparency. I'd be fine if it was released under a fairly restrictive license which would prevent this kind of re-use.
Of course direct commits instead of pull / merge requests are faster. A PR/MR is process created to increase quality at the expense of speed.
Suppose you are on a committee where you are evaluating 3 different offers to build a website for your city. Bid A is for $10m, Bid B is for $9.5m, and Bid C is for $9m. The company that made offer B knows that they will likely lose the contract so they counter. "If you let us keep the source code and it remains private, we will bid $8.5m for the contract". Since all three vendors are offering equivalent service, and vendor B is offering a hefty $500,000 discount, how can you reasonably spend far more or your city's money? That money could have gone to improve schools or roads or make more competitive offers for city employees. How can you justify spending a half million more on software principle when there are other more pressing needs?

Expecting software to be open source is nice when there is an army of 10s of thousands of FAANG employees to constantly keep it up to date, but less so when there's limited people. Sure, it hypothetically could be kept up to date by the generous and capable people of the city after the fact, but that's farfetched. It isn't realistic or practical for a budget-conscious software company to open them selves up to scrutiny, participate in the open source community, accept bug fixes, do code reviews from strangers, etc. It's more expensive to do OSS, not less.

(As an example, the Linux Kernel is mainly made by large companies with lots of expensive employees. Pick your 10 favorite GitHub project with more than 10k stars and see who the primary contributors are.)

Nurses, teachers, charity workers, IEPs, game devs.

These are all jobs where people sign up for the job. Whether it’s altruism or genuine passion. They’re willing to compromise and put up with less pay and harder working conditions.

But because they’re willing to compromise, these people are pushed to their limit. With not only low pay and shit conditions, but higher-ups which actively exploit their altruism and passion. “If you don’t work, patients / children are going to suffer!” coming from the same beaurocracy which created the situation where a) they suffer or b) you work extra hours.

They’re being pushed past the limit in fact, which is why there’s now a nursing and teaching shortage despite these actually being popular fields. A lot of people want to work these professions, they just don’t want the jobs.

Exactly.

I'm thinking this is exactly one of their target demographics for a campaign like this. Aware, forward-thinking and often young to mid-life consumers. To Kia, every car buyer is a good car buyer. To the planet, it's quite the opposite.
First off, I would strongly disagree with the idea that Heroku post-acquisition was stagnant. As well-said elsewhere, tons of product was shipped to industry-best standards: postgres/dataclips, Heroku Connect, buildpacks - as well as introduction of CI and preview apps. But it's clear that in the post-k8s and post infra-as-code world there's been a surge in new options for how teams manage their infra and DevOps toolchain.

Of course, I’d agree with the idea that conflicts of interest should be disclaimed: I’m the co-founder of Coherence (https://www.withcoherence.com).

Seems the key issues raised by the article and comments here are:
- costs and resource control constraints when using Heroku
- fixed base costs of k8s when using self-hosted PaaS type systems
- flexibility constraints of heroku-similar PaaS
- the desire for teams to get more ownership than Heroku gives them when it comes to configurability, reliability & security

Coherence disagrees that the next generation of PaaS should be a black-box - like Heroku, many next-gen PaaS are not hosted in your own cloud and re-implement the wheel when it comes to functionality like persistent storage, hosted databases, and application support services like redis. In the end, we believe that building on top of the major clouds (Google, AWS, Azure, CloudFlare, etc…) is the right choice. It’s also important to us that you're able to host customer data in mature systems that you control. This philosophy also allows Coherence to help you use managed services the large providers have built, like Cloud Run or App Runner, which at least partially mitigate the cost and complexity risks of k8s.

Coherence is vertically integrated, composable, and opinionated, with a focus on developer experience. A defined workflow for production-quality full-stack web apps with dev and production built in alongside automated test environments, including CI/CD and cloud IDEs - all configured with one high-level YAML. We’re in a very early private beta on google cloud right now - if you’re interested, please check out our site above and let us know!
Thank you for this clear explanation without any attacks! I hate to think how many people I've misinformed about this at work. I think what caused my confusion is how our devops team has been using Docker. They've basically treated it as a vm environment that doesn't require approval from my team. And some of their practices just seem to cause me stress that I should just free myself from.

Would it blow your mind to hear that some devops people actually run more than one application in a container? And that one of those apps might just be sshd? That's one of the many that I know about. Why they wouldn't just run docker exec?
> I thought a recession just had to meet a certain criteria.

(1) the actual criterion is “NBER names it a recession, which usually happens significantly retrospectively, and start and end dates are often adjusted after initial determination.”

(2) the casual rule of thumb criteria, which is more objective at the starting end (“a period starting with two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth and ending...sometime later”) can also only be applied significantly retrospectively with regard to the starting point.

So, yes, under either standard, whether or not we are currently in a recession is generally an assessment made on the basis of trying to predict the future.
The big unknown with Meta is the Multiverse/VR plans Zuckerberg has. How much of the company's reserve and free cash flow is he willing to risk? I think the answer is most of it.
It's because it would actually double the amount of care on most floors, because they're usually at 60% of the staffing they need as a start because they've been able to get away with that for years.
You always have to work with sequences of code units anyway (instead of just single code points), so the individual reasons for that doesn’t make much of a difference. It seems your rejection is more on aesthetic than on practical grounds.
Yep, same.

> CoreLogic says 65% of U.S. regional housing markets are "overvalued."

"Overvalued" here is determined by local home prices vs local incomes. Looking at the overvaluation map, it correlates with the narrative of a lot of buyers buying houses in places like Texas, Oregon, Tennessee with money from elsewhere.
FB is nuts. Bears focused on the slowing growth ,ignoring that Facebook is making $40/billion profit in a year, which is just astounding. That's 3x Walmart. You don't need much growth when you have so much profit and market dominance. Buying Facebook stock with a PE ratio of 13 , cheaper than any 'blue chip' company, was a steal. $400-600 soon imho.

Generally speaking the results I've seen so far indicate that at low bitrates (e.g. below 0.5 bpp), the video codecs (AVIF, HEIC, VVC) perform best, while at medium to high bitrates, JPEG XL performs best. This makes sense considering that video codecs aim at lower bitrates than still image codecs. Basically video codecs have more coding tools to "hide artifacts" at low bitrates (e.g. strong smoothing filters), while JPEG XL has more coding tools to "preserve detail" at high bitrates (e.g. strong entropy coding, more subtle filters).
I saw it as a very complimentary acquisition.

It will pay dividends in the long-run.
Interesting. Like I said, I think it is quite too early to write Meta off. [0] Even looked at that 'screaming buy signal' when it got lower than at least around $200 to around $190. [1]

Seems like lots of gamblers got wiped out after this earnings result thinking that Meta was finished.

In this case the tables have turned and it is not over yet.

> A continuous distribution does not assign probabilities to each proposition but subsets of them.

Nope. It assigns probabilities to individual propositions.

> Most people would not consider 2 a probability.

That's true, but in your example 2 is not a probability but a probability density, and a probability density is not the same as a probability. To get a probability out of a probability density you have to integrate. For each possible interval over which you could integrate there is a corresponding proposition whose probability of being true is exactly the value of the integral.
Huh I didn't know rq dropped its own query language support. That's kind of disappointing tbh, because I just really want to have one tool that's as powerful as jq and understands all the json-y formats.

That said I also don't really want the thing that does that to reinvent the wheel, jq's syntax may be annoying but at this point it's "won" really and "different query language + all the formats" is just an awkward niche to fill.

> There is no shortage of people wanting to be nurses (in some places it is extremely competitive), and there is a huge demand for nurses based on shortages everywhere, but somehow we are in a situation where nurses are overworked because they are short staffed.

why is this such a common story across pretty much every single industry? There's more people in the country than 10, 20, 30 years ago. More customers, more money. Why do they think they can handle more work with less workers whose salary is less when adjusting for inflation?
There are tons of ethical issues in allowing medical ads to consumers as it creates perverse incentives (and just the for profit system in general, but let's not develve into that fight).

I get tons of Testosterone replacement therapy ads. And also 'adhd' ads.

These are real MDs, but they will give scripts to almost anyone. Many online only.

I'm not judging people who want to use. People will use drugs legal or not and it is far better to get real stuff from real MDs.

But advertising it? The whole point is to create / increase demand. This is not passively allowing safer use.

These ads are misleading; TRT ads of young super fit people or getting people hooked on stims for no reason.

How would people feel if there were FB ads targeting people who listen to EDM with dope or E ads? We are also inundated with alcohol already.

All drugs aren't comparable or similar danger profiles, but just shows how prejudice and assumptions from a prohibition system are imho hypocritical. using a more extreme thought experiment can highlight this.
An an organizational ethos, it's hard to argue with a default of "We fail, you succeed."

When failures happen, it's usually the organization rather than the individual that's key to changing.
it was way oversold, for one. and much cheaper.
I would add that travel nurses are treated better in a lot of ways. Staff nurses must attend certain meetings and training aimed at standardizing care and improving outcomes. The travelers don't have to attend. Travelers can take off pretty much any time they want as long as they know before they sign the contract. Sure, they're considered "outsiders" by some staff and sometimes get the less enticing patient assignments, but for those drawbacks, they get paid 4x (I've seen 3-8x staff rates, but 4x seems common) plus a housing stipend as long as their location is more than some distance (I think 40 miles iirc) from their "home" location. Why would anyone be a staff nurse?

Anecdotally, I know a travel nurse who works in pediatric ICUs (PICUs). One shift a couple months ago, the overnight staff on her unit was >80% travelers. And this is in peds units that aren't as affected by COVID, because ~1/2 of the patients are cardiac babies with congenital heart issues. The only case I can see for not paying staff more to increase retention is that they can respond to a dip in cases over the summer, but that can't possibly be an 80% decrease in patients. Maybe they're waiting until travel rates come down to offer an increase in pay so their 1.2x salary offer is more enticing in comparison to the travel rates, but the current system is ridiculous financially. I did mention that we've seen first-hand that hospitals can afford to pay nurses $4k/week, though, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed.

Before I start, you really need to watch your tone and not pretend that you are a hunter on a hunt about to kill a nasty prey. My responses are clear, comprehensible and from your reply it is clear that you understood all of my points perfectly well, yet chose to use phrases like

1. If we are to assume you are being earnest

2. If you are going to dodge the question

etc.

I am a statistician and all of your questions have banal answers.

For individual differences you can plot the bell curve and the standard deviation gives you the individual variances.

I was clearly talking about population averages in 3.

> can you explain how much innate ability differences are a factor in intelligence differences (using it since you brought it up)? And how do you determine it?

AFAIK remember, heritable IQ/ height is estimated to be a bigger factor at an individual level. However, there is no existing causal methodology to determine it. Instead we have correlational regression models that make a lot of strong assumptions that are practical. There are various papers but it is clear that IQ is highly heritable like human height.

Also, I am going to replace "innate" ability with "inherited" ability because there is no methodology that can tell you how much of Roger Federer's tennis ability is "innate" and how much is "coached".

> talking about averages between groups

Your wording is ambiguous. But assuming you are talking about intergroup differences. When you sum up IQ or height within a group, the observation from regression models is that individual hereditary differences cancel out, and intergroup height and iq differences are easily explained by socio economic factors in a correlational regression model and heritable height/iq is an insignificant factor. Once again- this is not a causal model. Only correlational.

And this is just common sense. We know from life experiences that different people have differing IQs and heights from an early age. We are also aware of how important it is to have a school system - instead of just letting the kids figure things out on their own. The environment matters because we do have to work to nurture the inherent talents of a kid, otherwise that potential will be lost.

> please share how much of a factor innate ability differences are in intelligence within groups?

I expect the per sample standard deviation to be the same across different ethnic groups. For inherited "ability" i expect the total variance explained by "inheritance" factor to be the same across ethnic groups. I doubt if such an analysis has been conducted, because I don't see the value in this kind of subgroup analysis. Do you have any references to such studies? Have you seen data that contradicts this?
