> In reality, the doctor’s responsibility is being pushed to the patient

In reality, your choice is your responsibility. Even if one could delegate medical power of attorney to a health care provider, it would be unethical for them to hold a dual role.

Chronic conditions that are not well characterized and addressed by medicine are awful and as you said are a combined burden: the condition in of itself and the effort necessary to address the condition. The science and practice cannot progress fast enough to address the long tail of rare disease.

Informed consent is a principle in medical ethics and medical law that a patient should have sufficient information before making their own free decisions about their medical care. A healthcare provider is often held to have a responsibility to ensure that the consent that a patient gives is informed, and informed consent can apply to a health care intervention on a person, conducting some form of research on a person, or for disclosing a person's information. Informed consent is, in fact, a fundamental principle in the field of health protection, obviously wanting to mark the very close and unavoidable connection between the need for consent and the inviolability of the right to health.

One concrete example involving DBs is the PostgreSQL TXID wraparound. It's basically 32 bit counter where if things go wrong or were built wrong it just keeps going up until it becomes a problem. If you're only doing <=1 request per second this won't ever be a problem since even if you ran it your whole life without freezing any old records it wouldn't approach max value. On the other hand if it's under a constant 1000 request per second load it can be the source of problems in about a month.

You could argue to just call the TXID "complexity" but that'd come with a wide enough definition of what complexity is that it just becomes a replacement for saying "buggy code" which isn't very useful. Most leave complexity as being more like "grossly overengineered" to leave room to avoid that.
30W with high end CPU and graphic card in desktop and tons of plugged pheripals and big screen? They have good power management these days but not that good.

Plus many people use electronics build 5-10 years ago which are generally bigger offenders.
I'm not even sure how to parse this.

> Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the association between self-reported walking pace and LTL in middle-aged adults. This included harnessing previously defined genetic instruments for both walking pace and LTL to undertake bi-directional Mendelian randomisation (MR) analyses to help clarify the causal nature and relative importance of any observed associations.

So what is "bi-directional Mendelian randomisation"

[1] https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/48/3/907/5531241

> Where the causal relationship between two related phenotypes is unknown, bidirectional Mendelian randomization can be used to orient the causal direction(s) of effect using two independent sets of genetic variants related to each of the phenotypes.

So the headline tells me walking will make me live longer because the telomeres aren't shortening as fast. But the MR tells me that there are genetic variants causing the walking pace trait, and the walking pace trait causes the telomere trait because it is also associated with the walking genetic variant.

So am I to understand that the walking itself without the genetic variant for walking would not cause the teleomere change?
Depends on which doctor you are going to. We have some of the world’s best doctors but they might be in hospitals or doing a concierge service. You get what you pay for.

Can confirm. They paint people who google symptoms as kooks or as annoying, but you have to if you ever want to get an actual diagnosis and treatment, because doctors and hospitals are, quite often, worse than Google at figuring out WTF is wrong.

Do your best not to end up in a hospital without an advocate (friend, relative) watching out for you. They'll fail to treat you at best, then discharge you with a shrug and a huge bill; and they'll kill you with mistakes, at worst.
They'll be people selling those on eBay worldwide...
Ok it's not life or death so it's not high-stakes to you, but it's about whether to get treatment to prevent your teeth from falling out. Whether or not to ignore your doctor's suggested treatment for that is certainly something I'd consider high stakes.
> Janet is a clean, modern LISP.

This does seem cleaner. I have some questions though:

- What about the interactive environment like the one in Common Lisp? It's not enough to only have a "REPL", I think.

- There are so many Lisp dialects. Is this one going to remain obscure?

- What's the library situation?
This is a great article. How do we fix it? We are experiencing late stage capitalism at every turn in our lives. I don’t know where to start. Regulations? But Google has moles in every level of government. A real search competitor? It feels impossible to think it could happen at scale. There is a niche for a company that is like the original Google and that could grow. How can we help it succeed?
In the summer though heating the house is a bad thing. Either you are making your house hotter or you're making the air conditioner work harder to remove it.
Sure, but if a professional breaks your car or house irreparably then they have insurance to buy you something equivalent or better.

If a doctor breaks your body irreparably, it would seem there's a high probability that you have no recourse other than in rare situations you might get a settlement for some cash. Cash that won't fix your problem.

My main point is that the risks aren't comparable at all.
At this point everyone is aware that Russian military is a joke; they pose a terrible threat to civilians, but not to... pretty much anything with a working air force.

For me the sad thing was that there is no equivalent of let, progn and so on. It really felt like Python with a funny syntax (plus macros).

I'm not lisp enough to make a macro, but supposedly, isn't let under the hood making a lambda function and calling it? That's within the confines of possibility in Python.
> It will have a civilisation level impact by the end of the decade.

The trouble is that this is almost totally meaningless. Everything that exists in civilisation has a 'civilisation level impact'. If you quantify it - say, "will be the end of civilisation" - then it becomes so silly that I should hope you wouldn't think that. This is not the first generation to have parlour games.
> Now, most sysadmins are probably not aware of SELinux nor its policy set until they can’t achieve something because it violates the policies.

First, many applications come with SELinux policies. For the ones that don't, users will need to create a pipeline. When I've written custom apps I usually have a "soak test" pipeline whereby the application runs through all of its commands and configuration and we capture denials, produce a policy with audit2allow and then review the syscalls to ensure they match what we'd expect from the application.

If you're logging into a box or receiving an OS image that has SELinux turned on and you don't know how to query, that bit is just a lack of knowledge. It's a very simple command and there's a finite number of modes.

The wider problem is that enterprises beyond FAANG have a very tough time perceiving systems as a product or systems engineers as anything beyond advanced troubleshooters. That's why you get these huge OS bakeries that ship out a cookie cutter system that everyone must use, or else. This is all usually motivated by compliance.

On top of that, while at enterprises I've noticed that they'll teach all the courses in the world about programming and databases yet there's conspicuously no classes to hone your skills as a systems engineer. The pipeline I mentioned earlier isn't magic, I came up with the idea because I understand the workflow of SELinux and I know enough about syscalls to interrogate my own code. It's kind of like the people who like to read machine code and compare it to their application but for a systems engineer. There should be classes for the kernel and userland alike. Point being, because enterprises commonly view the system as a checkbox rather than a product, or worse produce an undocumented cookie cutter product with "best practices" it harms the profession of systems engineering.

Coincidentally, this is also why I mainly use the title "Software Engineer" rather than "Systems Engineer" with big corps.
As other commenters in the thread have pointed out, this might not be as quite a smoking gun as it would appear.

However, I still feel weird with these devices in the room. I have decided I am not going to trust them, I won't ever trust them, and I'm blaming them until they show us the code.

I know I'm a doomer and a fatalist, but holy crap we are sleep-walking into dystopia. Your average HNer might be a little more attuned to the possibilities for abuse here, but the billions of clueless customers and hundreds of billions of dollars to be made will just keep tempting these behemoths further over the line and renormalize all of society around pervasive surveillance capitalism.

The entire psychological context of life has changed, and I'm not super OK with it, TBH.
I vote counter strike as the most watchable e-sport by far. You can explain 95% of the game to someone in 15 minutes. No special moves or hidden abilities. Shoot guns, plant/defuse bomb, that's it.

The way I read it, the comma "," means "given", so what they write p(a, b) would be written as the conditional probability p(a|b) in contemporary CS/math literature.

h <- e means (h OR (NOT E)), which is the usual meaning of implication (either the consequent is true or the antecedent is false)

So p(h <- e GIVEN e) = p((h OR (NOT e)) GIVEN e) = p(h GIVEN e) since NOT e is false given that e is true.

> Obscure files like /etc/localtime, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/ld.so.conf, /dev/zero ... how can you expect devs to build well documented and well sandboxable applications if they don't know which files their library functions will open?

Who the fuck invented that convention that fine-grained permissions must be file-based? It's insane. No, no developer will anticipate that he needs to read /etc/nsswitch.conf. No developer should. A developer should anticipate that the software needs permission to connect on network hosts.

As much as it is too granular, file based permissions aren't fine-grained enough. Asking to connect on random hosts is absurdly wide, most programs only need to connect in to a few of them, or connect to an user-supplied host (that can be a permission by itself).

Anyway, yes, the manpages should interlink better. What is a different issue.
You're using it as a generalized argument that could be used to cast doubt on anything that is true. If someone makes a prediction if A then B, then we decide to do A and B happens, the duty of people who still believe that A doesn't imply B is to at least speculate about alternate causes of B, not to argue against the concept of cause and effect.

I say this as someone who thinks $15 is too low.

> Javascript =/= the DOM

My post was explicit in the fact that this was my frontend JavaScript path.

I don't think they are DOM abstraction, rather they are "update abstractions", as all the data binding, two way bindings, (whatever way binding a future library might call it) is there to observe X, update piece of html fragment Y with X.

The vanilla JavaScript idea is to debloat application and unlayer complexity where its possible. It doesn't offer the niceties, or feature parity of what frameworks do, but it allows me to be more explicit in the places where I'm going to use a framework. E.g. might have handrolled JavaScript code for light interactivity for a website for 90% of the time, and going to use something like VueJS only on the pages that require some highly integrated state associated page components.

The people in my circles, didn't hate DOM manipulation. They just didn't understand it (or care to), and jQuery answers where all over stackoverflow (just use this library and this jQuery plugin call).

And yes, without jQuery/frameworks DOM building is tedious. I've seen JSX praised before, but in an alternate timeline where IE didn't dominate the entire world with a legacy PoS, maybe the E4X standard would have been implemented in all browsers. Which would have been a pretty sweet deal, and another useful tool for the vanilla JavaScript camp.
Nice.

So I've followed up and called one of the retailers to ask why it's mandatory and got "We use Klarna and Klarna requires it, but you can enter a fake one and still get through as it's not verified.". This is awd-it.co.uk which was one of the two merchants in which I encountered it.

I suspect they're wrong though, and that you are right. Klarna didn't require this, but someone at this company configured it. Perhaps it's something about PC components for gaming computers, some kind of data gathering that helps protect against kids using their parents card.

There wasn't a way that I could configure not to give it though... I'm just a customer. Whilst I could use a fake date I'm more likely to treat this as a "your data is about to go to another third party" red flag and shop elsewhere still.
I fully agree with your last point. In my experience, the all-versions-packaged approach of containers actually leads to a worse patch state than a simple Ubuntu or Debian installation with unattended-upgrades.
That's exactly what it is. The selection of parts available to order is also absolutely laughable.
> otherwise they wouldn't be practicing any form of engineering.

This is incorrect. The dirty little secret here is that software engineering is an extremely lucrative career, and a ton of people have gotten into the field for that reason. I'm not saying they're wrong to do so, but I have never met a wizard who didn't love the craft. I have met tons of people faking-it-till-they-make-it who are there for the RSUs and free food. The latter tend to practice resume-driven development, and tend to have very little idea how their code actually works.
What is your point? Did the author write something which indicates they think Google is an ethical company?
Bolts “network” page, which lets you search/shop across all their “network” only has 249 “customers” on it, many of which are absolutely tiny websites selling very niche products with 0 reviews.

The fed has been pumping cheap money into the system since 2008 to prop up the values of the housing market and the stock market, which is where the majority of Americans have parked their wealth. Now the chickens have come home to roost.

The massive spike in the value of bitcoin should have set off alarm bells as it was a clear sign of excess money sloshing around in the system chasing returns.

The sad part is that while things like stimulus and other programs that pumped money into the system were well intentioned, they mostly ended up exacerbating income and wealth inequality as those closest to the banks - who were able to tell a credible investment thesis - got all the money.

The perverse part is that this (re)capitalization with cheap ended up creating a multiple of bad debt and asset valuations that we are going to have to pay the price for.

Yeah, because the US raising their minimum wage was the only significant thing to affect the World economy the last three years. /s

I'd say post-pandeming fumbling, pumping billions into the (global) economy combined with an energy crisis and a food shortage looming over some parts of the world, supply chain issues leading to scarcity for some things previously considered readily available commodities, not to mention a certain special military operation in Europe have also contributed.

It's a perfect storm consisting of things that many considered unthinkable five years ago.
The situation is bad and wasteful even with recycling, but I suspect it would be very complex to continue manufacturing years-old parts.
Lack of game permanency is a big part of the problem for esports. Jonathan Wendel, the first example in the article, even mentions declining purses for Quake, Painkiller and Unreal. Not only did those specific titles fade competitively, but that style of FPS went quiet for a while and is only just starting to come back.

While chess, football, basketball, etc. Have rule variances and tweaks, they are stable.

The constant title churn will always be working against building the kind of competitive scenes in mainline sports because they are resetting the rules (and therefore skills), changing pools and generally creating a sort of institutional amnesia.
In the particular case that you mentioned, the details of the scandal are so horrifying, that as you stated, the fact it only come to a fine is an example of the lack justice not the presence of any proper governance or personal liability on the part of the individuals making these decisions...

From the racist criteria, used for years to identify and bankrupt innocent Dutch nationals.

'Oldest' model supported is the iPhone 12. Very limited set of parts. Requires a device serial number.

Clearly being done very reluctantly. May be beneficial to those with a habit of dropping phones and smashing their screen, but the real problem is the slightly older phones becoming e-waste due to a degraded battery or parts like buttons wearing out.

(But we've got bigger worries with degraded batteries leading to e-waste, with Chevrolet discontinuing support for a 5yr-old EV (Chevy Spark) setting an example that others seem likely to follow. No battery replacements for your EV! Buy a new one! We're heading for a world where so-called 'green' EVs are barely repairable and thrown on the scrapheap as soon as the battery degrades)
So, this is a relative comparison between Q1 2020 and Q1 2022. Remind me, did anything important unfold in Q1 2020?

Edit: I don't understand. Parts of it are referencing 2019 vs 2021, other are talking about 2020 vs 2022. Why? And they claim 111400% quarterly profit growth for Mattel. How much did they jack up the price of Barbies to increase profit more than a thousand fold? None of this makes sense.
I find the reuse of the term "datasette" quite jarring. You'll pollute my retro searches! :-)

The same thing happened with the "BBC Micro:bit" which was roughly in the same field, unlike this one.
This is directly related to the teacher-student ratio, regardless of whether it's online or not.

One of Malcolm Gladwell's books made a convincing argument that reducing class size quickly runs into the issue of diminishing returns. A cursory Googling suggests there's plenty of research to back it up[0][1]

The effectiveness of in-person learning may have more to do with social interaction and peer motivation. A teacher with about 20 students who is able to create a general excitement for learning in the class seems to be the most effective. A classroom where the "spirit" of learning is alive is ideal for a lot of kids.
