You're agreeing with me. Psychologically, once you have a potential buyer in your physical presence (especially outside of their environment), you have a tremendous advantage in closing.

And sales where you're giving a sample like whisky? The social obligation to reciprocate for receiving something "free" is very strong. The idea behind giving a sample in a sales pitch isn't to get them to like the whisky (though it helps eliminate/reduce resistance), it's to incur that social obligation.
Possibly misattributed, but usually given to HL Mencken:

"For every problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong."

Don't kid yourself into thinking a complex system that makes up 20% of GDP is going to have a simple solution. Just a couple examples you'd have to contend with:

1) Insurance companies get a say too, according to the Constitution. That means they get to lobby in their own interests. That political problem itself is a boondoggle.

2) The US funds a disproportionate amount of medical R&D. Some of that fat is going to be cut from research. You need to have a plan on how that will effect long term quality of care and innovation.

3) Physician licensures are limited by the AMA. If you expand coverage, you will need to expand supply because any time something becomes "free", people will consume more of it. That's not a necessarily bad thing in healthcare, but needs to be addressed. The AMA also gets to defend their political interests.

There's lots and lots of other issues. I'm not claiming the US healthcare system is great. But pretending it has a simple fix is naïve.
Go Veza! To quote Business Wire:

"The company fills a gaping hole in data security: authorization — the ability to understand, manage, and control who can and should take what action on what data."
Canada is generally more expensive and taxes more (especially when you factor in sales taxes and such).

To be honest, I am amazed that Canada has a healthcare system left.

Decades of mismanagement and underinvestment aside, almost any Canadian healthcare worker can cross the border and instantly see a substantial pay bump and increase in QoL.

I do imagine within the next 20 years, Canadian healthcare is going to look vastly different. Like something from an emerging market, where sure there is universal healthcare, but you generally avoid it if you have the means.
> That's the exact opposite of how the NTSB operates.

Bingo! I have a friend in the UK who organizes "post-mortem" (no pun intended) workshops and process training for hospital staff, precisely to do the NTSB-like thing after medical procedure errors occur. Rather than trying to point fingers and identify scapegoats, the central question is: "what went wrong here, and how do we reduce the chances of that happening again?"

Of course, occasionally the answer might be "We hired the wrong person, and we should fire them", but that seems to be only very rarely true.
>>We’re “fixing” this by flooding the market with less trained nurse practitioners and PE.

In reality though, the overwhelming majority of cases that walk into a doctors office on any given day do not require an actual MD - NP and PA's are more than capable of handling many, many things that a typical patient needs.

Everybody tends to think they need a 'real doctor', they usually don't. Its good they are there when they are really needed, but do you really need an MD to diagnose a sore throat, adjust your BP meds or many other routine things that are people are seen for everyday?

Generally in the more left-leaning European countries, there is a greater emphasis put on personal health, dress, and presentation. You can see it just walking down main city streets, while ever city has more and less fashionable areas, the average for self-manicurement seems to be higher in urban left/western Europe than in corresponding US cities.

Additionally, the more left-aligned European states also have a few other factors going for them. With stronger welfare states comes less homeless, and obviously impoverished people (on average) that you will see in public than say, on the streets of New York City. On the opposite side of the spectrum, people on average, simply appear to be healthier in such cities than one finds in the USA, and this is reflected in statistics like average national height.

Going further, most European cities (not all) tend to take some form of civic pride in the design and caretaking of their cities, while equivalent US cities stress some form of architectural individualism, which has its advantages, but means you are more likely to see random pieces of squalor or ugliness even in nice areas.

You put all of these things together, and one of the things people visiting Europe from the US find, is a feeling that wow: "These people are dressed more nicely than I'm used to, look healthier/taller than I'm used to, are living in nicer settings than I'm used to."

You hear it more about Sweeden (which I cannot attest to, having never been), but yeah, it lines up with the above.

This isn't to say there aren't advantages to the US system, but that's a different topic : )
The other thing is that not all sysadmins are security engineers and you essentially have to be one to be able to manage SELinux well. You really have to understand the security implications of incorporating policy X for application Y.

Minimally, Redhat needs to come up with some better documentation around managing it along with better tools for managing policy. Like say, exporting the existing policy set before each upgrade or policy change and import them back? I'm thinking sort of what is done when a package is updated and you are prompted if you want to keep or replace your existing configs.
Great point!

Maybe not so much of a fallacy when you look at how developer management currently works in most mainstream companies.

It really does seem more geared to going slowly, and making each tiny step be recorded in some system.

Well, I was trying to clarify this statement from OP:

> DevOps become center part of Gitlab which we don’t use and need any of those feature. We all need a code storage, code review, issue tracking and the CI/CD.

It reads to me like this: "We don't use DevOps features in Gitlab, but we use CI/CD pipelines in Gitlab". So it is contradicting. As they responded, CI/CD is a subset of DevOps methodology.

I've used Gitlab and didn't know there were more DevOps tools other than their CI/CD features and runners.

I am still slightly confused.

> I think you misinterpreted what I said. My belief in Bayesian reasoning was very nearly 1 from the first time I encountered Bayes's theorem. Nothing I've seen since has changed this, i.e. nothing about Bayes's theorem has surprised me.

My question was whether you used Bayesian reasoning to accept Bayesian reasoning as your epistemology. And I don't think you did. Instead, I think you were given a persuasive argument for why it's a good way to think about evaluating claims or making predictions, and then you started to think that way.

MWI is an example where there isn't a good way to assign a probability, because so far it's not testable. Instead, people like Sean Carrol are convinced by the mathematics that it's true, or they're skeptical for some reason like it violating Occam's razor or the measurement problem you pointed out. At any rate, it's isn't because there is some probability attached.

IOW, Bayesian reasoning isn't the only reason we believe things.
I don't like REPL driven development. REPLs are celebrated as some sort of achievement in interactivity, but they're hopelessly puny, barely imitating a UNIX shell.

When I write Emacs Lisp, I don't have a REPL. I just put point at the end of a random s-expression in a random Emacs-mode buffer, hit C-x C-e, and it gets evaluated. Or I do "eval-print-last-sexpression" to get the output on the next line. If I put my emacs in an org-mode code block, I'll get the output nicely formatted by org-mode. I can get close to this in Common Lisp with SLIME, but I've never found it as tight as Emacs Lisp.

But Emacs lisp is still puny. Common Lisps had much higher aspirations than SLIME and a crappy UNIX-based Lisp executable. Allegro and Lispwerks still run on the philosophy that your IDE is just some live code in your lisp image, and you extend that image via the GUI. The same philosophy pervades (non-GNU) Smalltalk implementations.

This is the sort of thing that still makes Lisp (and Smalltalk) absolutely stand out among programming languages, and it will be a crime when it is inevitably forgotten and we are left dumbfounded by the banality of REPL driven development.
I cringe because you said that programmers don’t have to learn many languages.

But in order to do a good job a sysadmin has to learn the semantics of dozens.

So you’re right, in a way, but it’s not right at all for sysadmins.

Since sysadmins are being essentially replaced by programmers, it won’t be right for programmers soon either.
When you look at it to get a scientific education you are right. When you try to grow as a human in humanitarian way, then university social life is also important (maybe not the over-the-edge US college way but for the rest of the world that is definitely a thing). You grow in that time also as a person. When you just earn money and be part of a company you will not grow your social behavior or other skills. That is also the reason why CS degrees have often random other areas included as soft skills like literature etc.

> I'm not sure I get the "magic" part

The problem I was trying to solve was container signing, as well as building AMD64+ARM64 multi-arch images without buildx having access to both contexts, i.e. on different VMs (a CircleCI limitation). When you use buildah without bud you learn just how many implicit steps are involved in a Dockerfile, and how those implicit steps have been the problem all along.

buildx works great when you're on the razor thin happy path. The abstraction is great for the majority who need it but, crucially, Dockerfiles provide no way to escape the abstractions.

I am not sure. I know they accept rolled coins for deposit at least from business customers. But I don't know what is the minimum legally required service level vis-à-vis coins and what is the customary service level banks actual offer right now. I remember TD having coin deposit machines that were free for TD customers to use but deducted a fee from non-customers, but they discontinued the service a couple of years ago. These days most people use third-party machines like this, which deduct a fee: https://www.coinstar.ca/

Nobody who is anxious about a first contact with someone new will rely on email alone, anti-spam has made sure of that for 25+ years. You just can't measure whether someone _saw_ your email, which is all that matters to email users.

Users do complain about unexpected bounce messages (often it's an address typo). And I am pretty sure that people who use gmail & hotmail are used to "checking their spam folder" and fixing deliverability problems for new senders that way.

I've been pretty slapdash about this, including selling 1000s of mail servers and (apart from the adoption of SPF, DKIM, DMARC) it's all the same as it was 20 years ago. So I've no problem advising technically-inclined people to give it a go gradually.
Then increase the pay even more or increase the quality of life at work.

Instead of $250k, halve the work load somehow and make it two $125k.

If there is no number, then society cannot afford it.

But this is nursing, not trying to find ways around the 2nd law of thermodynamics. If nurses received $300k/year income, then there probably would not be a shortage since the barrier to entry is not that high.

If we really want to get down to the nitty gritty of it, most people cannot afford quality nurse care (or doctors or hospitals). So the question really comes down to how much wealth is society willing to redistribute to those who need it in the form of healthcare?
We already know that governments are likely to just start throwing loads money in every direction if they believe that things are going to go ‘really south’.
> The Spark is one EV from one manufacturer, introduced ten years ago, and it sold a few thousand units over a couple years.

Did you mean a few hundred thousand units? Wiki says there were 24,459 Chevrolet Sparks sold in the USA last year, plus a similar number of international sales. Total US sales were roughly 285,000 units[0], so that would fit with “a few hundred thousand”.

No, this is incorrect. They fundamentally do the same things. You're trying to say they're different because the API is different but that's completely missing the point. If you really prefer the API of them then you can go and use one of the emulations of pledge and unveil that have been built on top of seccomp and landock. They work because there isn't really anything special going on there.

I think the point is that "doctor bias" will not take a balanced approach to the other systemic factors. I'd argue it's the same with the pilots. If you asked pilots, they'd likely say the same thing: their priorities are going to align with the mission better than anyone else's.

Anecdotally, this has been true in my experience on complex engineering projects. When the project manager is a mechanical engineer, guess which systems get the most time, money, and priority? Mechanical. And when it's an electrical engineer, the electrical system gets the priority. When it's a software engineer, the software etc. They all recognize the other systems, but availability bias skews their worldview and priorities to the neglect of others.

The article is about how they moved an existing (fast) implementation in Haskell in UTF-16 to an even faster implementation in Haskell by switching to UTF-8. This is stated in the first paragraph.

The post they reference, is also very honest:
..., the fastest Haskell implementation of the Aho–Corasick string searching algorithm, which powers string search in Channable.

Basically the blog posts show that if you want to program in Haskell and still optimise, this is how you can do it. I think both posts are great resources and don't overstate their claims.

It wasn't a dig at lisp BTW. Just pointing out that the combo of no typechecking + such a homogeneous syntax is going to make it harder for the new guy to find his bearings in the codebase.

In your examples objects are idiomatic, and give the new devs some idea of what they're dealing with outside of runtime. I know lisp supports objects, but I wouldn't call them idiomatic from the lisp I've seen.

And as for typechecking, the writing has been on the wall for PHP (first Hack, now native type declarations) & Javascript (Typescript anyone?) for some time now.

I heard a legend once that someone at IBM in the "blue suit and tie" days found himself to be irreplaceable. So at his next contract negotiations, he politely demanded the dress code be removed from his contract.

And then he never shaved again, or wore anything more formal than a Hawaiian shirt. Much to the anger of his entire management chain.

Yeah we went into it with eyes open. I know "everyone hates Jira".

We did evaluate Shortcut (formerly Clubhouse) and I did talk to a sales engineer.

We weren't able to make our issues open to the public, which was a serious blocker.

It wasn't clear how we would differentiate between user stories, bug tracking, epics, planned work, etc. And how to handle and track support and operational issues.

The response in the org (we're not all devs) has been almost universally positive, and very favourable compared to our GitLab issue-tracking experience.
