My wife is a NICU nurse at a major NICU... she has worked there four years and is almost at her maximum pay, outside of COL increases, so right now she makes around $64k a year before tax/etc..

The travel nurses make significantly more and now that she has basically hit her cap (after just four years) I've been trying to convince her to move to a different unit or get a different job
> I've tried many approaches - I find that if I recommend tech stacks that I'm comfortable with, most people won't care enough to learn them, but when I let others select, the project ends up as a steaming pile of garbage that doesn't work, and requires a rewrite the week before it's due.

Which framework is selected shouldn't matter so much. If you expect others to use one you've picked and learn it, you should do the same with one you didn't pick rather than declare it's garbage and needs a rewrite. To your question: it's a false dichotomy.
Experience indicates otherwise.

If you must use bit fields, make them unsigned. Bugs love to hide under signed bit fields.

I have a Black & Decker one, it have 2-hours shut off. My previous maker is Mr. Coffee and it have 4 hours shut off.

The only I know that consumer coffee maker don't have the auto shut off is the one that have a rocking switch and they are normally the most basic kind ($10 - $30 USD).

As far as I can tell, the failure of schools at online education in 2020-21 was because they were trying to use offline methods online. That's not how you do online education. Everyone here that has been in a zoom meeting knows that.
Not that I’m expecting this kind of situation in my life, but I wonder if there would be any workaround in this situation? Could you shift out of gear? Turn the car off? Deploy a large cartoon parachute?

Of course if an agency like this wanted me dead I’m sure evading one attempt would only prolong my life shortly.
There are plenty of services that allows that. One is Apple's [Hide My Email](https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud/what-you-can-do-with-...) and Firefox's [Relay](https://relay.firefox.com/).

>"However, that does not mean that all the drawings/plans/etc for the aircraft are made public."

The (US) government actually tried the approach of purchasing a few initial runs and the plans for some missiles, but the results were bad. Initial development costs were high, reliability was low, and manufacturability was poor.

So the states paid the bills so can license the result any way they want.

How can they pay for something and not own it?

Measuring standby power matters where the alternate option would be to unplug the device or use an extension cord with a power switch instead of relying on an active but low-power state.
Indeed, but your comment is equally valid if I substitute “British”.

Louis Rossmann, who has been outspoken about Apple's repair hostility and is a right-to-repair advocate, has released a video where he goes over his take on this site: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agG108sxkyo

It's a pretty good take, and points out some key criticisms: lack of parts for common repairs, lack of support for older devices, and, of course, no schematics.

Sorry, I don't mean to be overly harsh, but your comment amounts to

> I personally don't use the word 'echo' in connection to vocal communication, which (for some incomprehensible reason) means that, when someone else uses the word 'echo' thusly, they are implying something nefarious.

> Oh, and not just something nefarious, but specifically that they are eavesdropping on every word you say (also: every breath you take, every move you make, &c). Somehow.

> In summation: they are spying on everything you say, because they used the word 'echo' in their marketing material about a voice assistant. QED.

I mean, this is barely even intelligible as a line of reasoning. I assumed it was dashed off quickly and without really thinking. If it represents your considered opinion, then perhaps I'm missing something very obvious, I don't know.
The "if you were covered, it's not a pre-existing condition" rule when switching providers was the law in various states, including CA, before ACA.

Contract software development is nearly always work-for-hire. To not own the result of what is in common practice work-for-hire is terrible contract management. Imagine a road paving company claiming the state doesn't own the road they just paved.
There's a few layers of complexity here.

The first is lvalues. In compiler jargon, an lvalue is a kind of object that can have a value stored to it. And you can usually represent it as the address of some memory location [1]. Of course, bitfields break this representation: you need to know what the bit offset and bit size of the field you're storing is (as well as the signedness).

The next level of complexity is the conditional operator. This means that, when conditional operators yield lvalues [2], you now end up in a situation where the lvalue now has a conditional bit offset and bit size within the address. Or maybe one leg of the expression returns a bit-field and the other leg returns a regular int lvalue. Imagine how complex your datastructure needs to be to represent an lvalue during this code generation phase.

[1] Not all lvalues need to have memory locations. But if you're writing a C compiler, it's an easy first approximation to give every variable, even those marked register, some memory location and rely on an optimization pass to convert stack memory locations into register locations, rather than keeping track of this information when the frontend does code generation.

[2] As mentioned elsewhere, conditional operators in C do not yield lvalues. But conditional operators in C++ do.
The solution isn't that Radonda Vought, who killed a patient through a string of crassly negligent actions should walk free - one would like to see the whole chain of command be given serious prison time. It's clear that patient safety at Vanderbilt isn't a priority - training and safety culture reflects that.

Ask HN: Online course or a printed book – what do your prefer?
This question is related to learning programming languages or computing technology. For example, do you prefer reading (printed) programming language books even though there are thousands of online courses? Or do you prefer online tutorials or courses?

Books:

- Can be read away from a computer (no online distractions)

- Reading on paper is more comfortable that reading on a monitor

- Possibly imparts a deeper understanding of material (subjective)

- Computing-related print books have technical reviewers and an editor to maintain high quality (debatable?)

- A book will inevitably be constrained by it's length - not all topics can be covered

Online courses or tutorials

- Show screens and commands more easily and in real-time

- Easier to update and return to newer or refreshed content

- Animation can help explain concepts

- Listening to an expert won't necessarily make their online course good i.e. not everyone is good at explaining or teaching

I would add that industries that contract with or supply tools for the government work would be good. Things related to infrastructure would likely be good. However, they already had an infrastructure bill and companies like CAT might be over bought.
It was pretty heavily used in enterprise on applications from around 2006-2012. I still have nightmares of it, as since it's enterprises the code bases got massive and GWT in my experience had a trend of getting a ton of code smells.
Yes, I've considered getting a heat pump; for one reason and another, I can't.

It doesn't feel right to talk about the "efficiency" of a heat pump system; talk of "1W in gets you 3W out" isn't right, because you didn't magic those 3W out of thin air. It's more like "4W in gets you 4W out". It seems wrong to say that a heat pump system is "400% efficient".

I thought efficiency was a measure of how much of the work[0] going into a machine is transformed into the intended output work. I suppose you could say that this heat delivery machine is inefficient if a lot of the input work is expended on producing torque, or raising heavy stuff. But even that eventually turns into heat; just in the wrong place.

[0] I hope I'm using "work" and "machine" in the technical sense, so that "work" means displacement against a force, and a "machine" is any device for converting work from one form to another. Effiency is well-defined for that kind of machine: it's just the ratio of work in to work out, the output being what you want; so "efficiency" intrinsically depends on what your intentions are for your machine. .
I'm in the same boat. We were in the process of moving off of Heroku a few months back. We had to pause that migration for a number of reasons, but the initial jump was to save some money.

Now I'm kicking myself for not pushing the migration to completion. I've basically had to spend the last week recreating much of our deployment pipeline using a very complicated local deployment structure that only I can execute. It's a complete nightmare. My only guess is that the Heroku team is just a handful of overworked developers. For the Github integration to be down this long they must just not care. Like at all.
You're probably thinking of Aukey.

I did two separate stints at IBM, the most recent being back in 2017 or 2018 or so. I was part of the "Watson Health" <strike>organization</strike> debacle. And when I first got there one of the things I immediately noticed was that there was no longer any free coffee available. The only coffee availability was from the little embedded Starbucks stand near the lobby. Which both cost $$$ and conveniently closed well before most of us were done drinking coffee for the day.

Eventually we had to resort to the time honored tradition of buying a cheap Keurig style machine, and having a "community pot" in our area to buy k-cups, those disposable creamer packets, etc. This was the point where I realized that IBM is probably in its terminal phase.

Shame. I rather liked IBM at one time. Heck, my dream when I was in college was exactly go to to work for IBM and go to Boca to work on OS/2!
> Does this mean Zadie Smith is a part of the club? Or that NYRB is just able to get high profile authors like Smith to write for them?

Uh, I don't see the difference
Absolutely. School does not accurately reflect the real world, but it's still important to keep learning. The moment you measure your progress by seeing you're better than others is the moment you throw away every opportunity to learn and grow.

I had a similar situation in school where I had a new project and team per quarter. One friend on one team didn't do anything, and the team tried to fail him because we put in all the work. He cried to his teacher and got a pass anyway. The real world can be like this too, actually. I find that managers are usually not willing to fire bad employees.

But anyway, it could be true that there simply isn't time, but I encourage you to try anyway because you will gain experience, even when you fail. The moment you conclude there is no time is the moment you stop learning and growing.

Of course, do what you care about and don't burn yourself out. In the end, you always return to asking yourself if what you're doing is working toward accomplishing your goals.

Thanks so much for reading my post and best of luck.

If the horizontal lemniscate is synonymous with DevOps that's exactly what I would expect when searching for "devops". Do you think it's a bad representation of what DevOps is? Otherwise I don't understand what you're tired of.

I think it's mainly because of money? Sure if there were any existing public open source infrastructure people would be more willing to contribute for free.

I think this brings the open source developers income issue to the table which is getting better but at its own pace.

Nursing, just like many other social oriented professions, attract a lot of people for the right reasons, like wanting to help other people, yet too often that well-meaning motivation is then exploited to the maximum by overworking and underpaying these people.

They will bear a lot of that, because these people care for their patients and leaving a job because of bad circumstances also means leaving their patients behind with those bad circumstances.

Which is not something that comes easy to everybody who makes "helping others" such a big part of their work motivation.

* It was automated. Now it requires someone to pay attention and do it. You need to check if CI passed, and pull, and be sure you pulled the version that passed CI (maybe someone pushed since then).

* Review apps, the only remaining heroku "killer feature", do not work at all.

The fact that this has been broken for 2 weeks tells you everything thing you need to know about the state of their code base, and the resources salesforce is willing to allocate to heroku.

I've been waiting for someone to build this. Awesome!
Large consulting companies like Accenture have entire divisions of their business devoted to "government". These divisions make money by developing software for governments. It is very much against their interest for this software to be open source because 1) there is visibility into their performance and 2) they can't sell very similar software to the same government if everyone knows what software they've already built.

These are the real vested interests preventing this code becoming open source and why lots of government agencies who do their own development are perfectly happy to release the code or access to their APIs.

Agree with you, but people on HN and other places tend to flame/heckle companies that don't do this too, aka Elon Musk. Love him or hate him he does things 'his' way without all the seemingly built-in middle layers. I like it as opposed to the HR led office space cosplay, but people seem to want their cake and eat it too.
It's possible you didn't pick the "remember me" option -- the network effect I get is that once I've used that payment network once, I can one-click purchase from any other merchant on the network (that is, I skip the "forms I'd be filling out" because the service already has a cookie and knows my payment/shipping info). I know I personally am more likely to finish a checkout flow if it is easy, and Shop Pay in particular is crazy fast when it's one-click even at merchants I've never before shopped at.
I think some might read the original question as saying that the books reviewed wouldn't be reviewed unless they were contributors. Zadie Smith's books would get reviewed whether she'd contributed or not, but she still counts towards the "clubby" total.
They were early in the devops game, and provided an easy way to run things without having to deal with hardware, networks, scaling, operating systems, maintenance, etc... yourself. Nowadays I think they are no longer running on innovation, but on inertia.

Is this a shock?

- Demanding work: 12 hour shifts, irregular schedules, night shifts, physically exhausting, limited breaks (including bathroom/water!)

- High responsibility with unsafe conditions. You're literally responsible for people's lives. Poor staffing ratios stretch you thin and make you more likely to make mistakes. And if you make a mistake, you're at huge risk for litigation... and now criminal consequences too. Responsibilities, resources, and staffing stretched even thinner due to the pandemic.

- Administration that treats you as something to be optimized and does the absolute bare minimum to support you. Instead they tack on additional tasks, expectations, and requirements ("no water at a nurse's station!"). They encourage a culture where nurses provide a concierge service to 'guests' instead of critical care to patients.

- Hostile/entitled patients. I'd guess many/most patients are not an issue, but it only takes a couple of difficult/combative patients to really ruin your conditions.

- Low pay given the responsibility and working conditions for non-travel nurses. https://nurseslabs.com/nurse-salary/#nurse_salaries_by_state Like many others pointed out here, in tech I make way more than a nurse for a job that's less demanding, has far lower stakes, and is of far less value to society.

To me the blame lies mainly in middle/upper management, whose role is to build and empower an effective workforce. If 90% of your workers are considering leaving, you blew it.
Yeah usually that difference is causing someone to die by being criminally negligent. Which she was.
Agreed, that is way too short for me. I found 2hrs or 4 hours is the reasonable amount to cut off.

I wonder EU have that 40 min cut off is due to their high voltage/amperage?
Struct packing has its points for small structs. Indeed, you can reduce cache use and increase cache locality. However for large structs, page aligned structs, the cache lines will be constrained to a particular set. Moreover, pointer following from struct to struct can incur a TLB hit; the TLB is another small cache. So while you may cleverly encode things to squeeze size, you may then watch things slow to a crawl.

You are packing small structs in order to squeeze lots of them into the caches. However for large structs, you should at least consider refactoring them into small structs which you can then pack to your heart's content.
I like jq, but the parent is right that it's hard to wrap one's head around the way jq thinks about things and how that model maps to its grammar. Even in this example, I couldn't tell you why `map()` wraps everything else, and I always get tripped up on when to use `|` or how to go back and forth between a list and a stream. I don't think the answer is `gq`, but I certainly understand why people try out other languages.
I don't see what corruption has to do with it. I'm a subcontractor and usually the contractual terms are dictated by my clients. If I get the chance however, I put forth my terms and these say that I'm the author of the code and thus the copyright holder.
