During the 2008-2009 episode, analytics companies did well. Apparently a lot of their customers were interested in trimming the fat and needed analytics software for it. I'd guess any tech company that directly helps cut the enterprise costs will be in a good position.
This is nightmare material.
My wife was/is both an RN and a DNP in NYC during the entirety of the pandemic. I'm an Iraq infantry veteran. Our experiences are remarkably similar and there are major trends as to why there is unsustainable turnover.

1. Everyone pays lip service. People stand at airports and say thank you for your service the same way they open their windows at 7PM and start clapping and cheering during shift turnover. Sometimes they'll say they know people who are veterans or 'frontline healthcare workers' as a sign of solidarity

2. Nobody actually wants to hear what you went through. Hearing people die or knowing people are about to die in sometimes painful, unfortunate ways is too raw for people to try to seek out and understand, despite the fact that for a significant portion of the population that's how we're going to go out, in a hospital with all sorts of drugs pumped into our system

3. There's a constant barrage of emotional/mental harm. Believe it or not, you don't magically 'harden up' immediately. Absorbing/witnessing drastic outcomes gets easier, but the burden doesn't get lighter. This isn't to mention physical harm. People do all sorts of things out of desperation and frustration.

4. The systems that manage you are byzantine if not kafkaesque. You're never sure how the decisions are made, yet you're the one that will be paying the most for it. You know deep down that you're just a number on a spreadsheet, and the only reason that keeps you going is internal motivation to do what you think is right, so you push on

5. The people who can help rarely think about you. Very few politicians will mention your name or your union that is doing its best to get some kind of safe nurse:patient ratios or even get the hospital to pay for your scrubs that they mandate. Very few billionaires have mentioned healthcare workers or veterans at all. As a whole, until someone has an emergency that threatens their physical or financial status, healthcare and security is treated as a black box with unreal expectations and extra sensitivity to deviations from said expectations, despite a complete lack of introspection and information on how those expectations came to be

I don't know what the solution is. In healthcare, every system is so deeply connected to the rest that destroying one or even refactoring takes down everything else, and we need it to stay online. The same applies to the continuation of geopolitics by other means. You can give every IC the best EMR system, the best rifle and radio, the best monitor/laptop/keyboard, but it's all for nothing if the system as a whole is a dumpster fire. Her frustration is palpable every time she finishes a rough shift (probably 2 out of 3), and the best I can do is lend my ear and pour a glass of wine.

That being said, I am grateful that she is continuing on the path. Our shared experiences have brought us closer than ever.
Vulnerabilities happened in rolling code systems too, see for example https://www.iacr.org/archive/crypto2008/51570204/51570204.pd... (they were able to read manufacturer key and then clone any transmitter just by eavesdropping) or https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/usenixsecurit...

Where real estate goes up the most over the following 25 years. What cities/regions become most enjoyable to live in compared to now and have a clear upward trend still within them.

After that - I’d probably just look into safest, cleanest, and most reliable places to live because I’m stupid FAT at this point (billionaire status within a few years) and my only concern is my well being in life.

I’d also like to read books or find out information about how people viewed events from 30 years ago and what they think should’ve been done and what we could do going forward. Oh and if there’s any ground breaking research or inventions in the last 20 years that I could take back and make a fortune on. That’d be dope.

D-K: “I’ve read up, ask me anything”

Imposter: “I’ve read up, but man, there’s so much to know I’ll never know enough. People will see I’m faking it.”

PhD: “I’ve read up, have a good understanding of my field and even extended it. I’ve also learned how little I know.”

The first and third have self confidence. The second worries, but probably knows enough to do the work. The third knows whether they should even try, although D-K can occur outside of speciality.

The middle ground might just be the best hire.

Practical Common Lisp gets you up to speed very fast.

I wish there was something similar for scheme. Most scheme books focus on teaching you compsci with the language and not on teaching you how to build practical things with it.

It's quite hard to onboard someone to a scheme codebase, despite scheme's reputation of being a simple language.
I’m a student of WGU, and tried UoP, not the same whatsoever. UoP was garbage. Flagged me for fraud on my first test.

The number of people in the US who continue to defend the abhorrent health insurance system is absolutely mind-boggling. The level of brainwashing that pervades discourse about single-payer health insurance being some sort of communist plot is testament to some of th emost successful propaganda of all time.

What's worse is it belies an ugly aspect of human nature (particularly pervasive in the US IME) that people absolutely do not give a fuck about anyone else when it comes down to it. As long as someone is fortunate enough to have decent health insurance through their job, people who don't are lazy.

The big picture here is that the wealthy want people dependent on jobs and to be in debt (eg student debt) because it makes them compliant.

So I'm not surprised nurses are leaving. Insurance companies make providing healthcare an absolutely miserable business and deliberately killing people ("prior authorizations", "pre-existing conditions", etc) should not be the basis for commercial enterprise. Denying someone life-saving or life-changing care should not be a profit motive.

What's worse is that a lot of the burnout is effectively caused by people who are profoundly selfish and are voluntarily choosing to get sick and die of what is now a highly preventible disease.

It's a hard situation because people depend on nurses so collectively they're torn. Teachers OTOH aren't life-critical (but still obviously important) so I'd actually like to see them make a mass exodus over all the right-wing censorship they're facing in most states.
Relaxing music doesn't mask the noises enough I'm afraid you are hoping. It either needs to be very loud or have a different genre, like metal or dubstep to suppress umm... brown noise.

I'm also not sure if announcing anyone I'm doing stuff in the bathroom is what I'd always want.

That's an abhorrent lie. Their independent tax district is absolutely a sweetheart deal. The ability to privately govern the land that it owns (i.e. not pay state/property taxes) outright flies in the face of the first clause in 14th amendment. Their special privileges would not hold up to scrutiny in the court of law.
> This one is big for product designers.

You're right that there are definitely opportunities for improvement here. As a Product person that has worked in EMR/Healthcare IT systems, I can tell you the biggest challenge is most of the decisions are driven by legally-required compliance. In many cases, you literally cannot make it better because the brokenness is /by design/ to comply with the law.

Nearly across the board, especially in the US, our legal and regulatory climate has not kept up with technology and often actively works to the detriment of technical innovation and improving our systems.
Be very careful about some of these articles. The general ideas are basically correct, but exact numbers are subject to huge error bars. Your typical clam-type meter will easily be off by 5-10%, possibly much more at very low amperages in a household environment. So articles written by well-meaning tech writers measuring their computer with a 50$ clamp meter should be taken with a grain of salt. They are really not designed to properly measure anything less than a few amps.
I’m not a nurse, so grain of salt and all that, but I think I’d rather be a nurse than any of those things. And except for (some) trucking, RNs generally get paid more than all of them, I think.

There’s a lot of white collar work that only requires a nonspecific college degree, but I’m not aware of such a high demand for for HR staff or accounts payable specialists.
That also assumes there is no response bias. The linked article doesn't seem to go too deep on methods but the source is a content marketing piece for Hospital IQ, so I'd take it with a grain of salt.
I would say the PhD knows that collectively there is a lot that nobody knows!

and she makes the point that "Imposter Syndrome" is related to social mobility. A person who came from a working class background to get a PhD suffers from it much more than the child of professors.
I like your example breakdown, but my understanding that by removing calculus as an option it’s lowering the ceiling so we’d end up with: 0% A, 25% B, 25% C, 25% D, 25% F.

I guess there is a societal discussion to be had if we should trade off losing As to reduce Fs.

But I think that first there’s not a dichotomy between approaches so the only way to get fewer Fs is to reduce the number of As. I think there are ways to improve education that doesn’t remove the opportunity to excel. And framing it as the California proposal or failing math is unfair.

I think what surprises me so is that they continue to propose these solutions that seem to reduce the overall math capabilities being produced.
One thing I've seen is that people convinced that in-person education is the best will try to focus on making their online classes more like in-person classes, when that might be the wrong direction needed. Particularly since it sounds like you and your colleagues (as well as the students) were thrown into things suddenly with little to no experience. If you were trying to discover success from your own classes, those of your colleagues in a similar situation, or those from your students, I'd imagine it'd be slow going, since it sounds a bit like the blind leading the blind.

On top of this, schools tend to be constrained with trying to fit everything into the particular confines of what's considered a class. I don't know about your particular school, but all of the ones I've seen would never try to educate students with something like The Odin Project, even though many here think it's a great example of online education.

Also, even with a great program and experienced teacher, changes in education styles entail a transition period for the students. We would expect this to be much slower in such a rocky transition with the professors themselves trying to figure out what to do. But even with poor circumstances I'd expect to see at least some amount of progress as students adjusted to things. Did you not see any?

You mention them being exposed to the classes of several hundred professors at your university. Surely there was some variability in the success the professors had. What difference did the school see between the more successful classes and the less successful classes?
I frequently say that administrators have killed both the education (esp. tertiary) and medical fields in the US.

I’m pretty sure both of these will implode under the bureaucratic weight at some point — the financial and social costs of the excessive administrators is not justified by their (often minimal or negative) value added.
That's where we disagree then: if exclude the political bend of the actions, only Disney views the action as "punishment", while to everyone else, it is "fair." Is it punishment to remove an unfair advantage? Certainly to the entity benefitting from the unfair advantage. To everyone else, no, it's not punishment, it's a return to a level playing field.

If Disney got more special privileges as a result of their speech, nobody would say their rights were violated. If Disney had neutral actions taken as a result of their speech, nobody would say their rights were violated. So the "punishment" aspect is key to making it a violation, but I am making the case that it is not actually punishment, when considering the context of the rest of society.

> they 100% know more about your condition than you do, whether you've been living with it for a decade or not.

I was with you up until this point. Part of the problem is that this cannot be true in all cases, unless either (a) your condition is commonplace (b) the doctor specializes in your condition.

Yes, doctors know more than you in almost every way about bodies about medicine, about drugs. However, people with relatively uncommon conditions have been enabled (largely by the internet) to create communities of fellow condition-sufferers, and the collections of anecdata that result represent a resource that generalist doctors do not have access to. The good specialists, in some cases, will take occasional dips in to augment their own knowledge and expertise.

Case in point: my daughter has had two major hip surgeries. While there is no way anyone in their right minds would have chosen someone who had not performed these surgeries previously (preferably, many times), and while it was completely clear that the surgeons really really really knew what they were doing, it was also the case that various online communities made up of people who have been through this procedure were able to provide lots of information that the surgeons could/would not. This was particularly true of the recovery process, where there were a number of common oddities that most people who have the procedure experience, and they're really not a problem. They are scary however, and the actual medical professionals really had nothing useful to say about them.

There's another issue with the blanket "doc knows best" rule. If you've had a GP for many years, or a specialist helping you with a condition for many years, then it's probably a great rule of thumb. On the other hand, if you've moved, or for any other reason switched doctors, and you're the kind of person who does pay attention to their body, there's a reasonable chance that you're going to know things about yourself/your body that the new doc(s) will likely not be aware of. They can (and will) learn, of course, and there's no reason to be aggressive or patronizing about it. But for example, you may understand the way you typically recover from antibiotic treatments, or the consequences of lack of sleep, or your tendency to always pull a lower back muscle given certain movements, etc. etc. in ways that your (newish) doctor may not yet be wise to.
Hosting email isn't hard. Hosting email that blocks out spam, and prevents your server from being hacked is more work.

There are some nice middle grounds for self hosting like zimbra, or for the less adventurous, a tool like MDaemon which lets you self host but provides support in the right areas. Incoming email is pretty trivial, and outbound email can be greatly improved by using an external outbound email service. Whatever works for the level of time you want to invest and maintain.

Try it out with a domain and you'll see if it's ok for you. You have to remember a lot of developers today don't have devops or hosting skills. There are developers who did have to manage complex web hosting themselves so it's not completely out of the realm of possibility. I self hosted for a long time, switched to cloud, and am thinking of switching back.

That adage exists because those who really want to do it won't be asking to be spoonfed and will instead start doing the research themselves.
The GitLab logo/mascot is actually a tanuki, a Japanese racoon dog. It symbolizes our values as a smart animal that works in a group to achieve a common goal.

Honestly I don't see anything really wrong here. In the long run, you'll have people that get the treatment and people who don't, and over time you can compare these groups and outcomes. People will naturally gravitate toward the correct answer.

It would be nice if we could have an omniscient oracle to gate-keep us away from ineffective treatments - but we don't live in that universe. Instead we have (in the US) the FDA, which is staffed by smart, well-intentioned, and very fallible human beings, each with their own (well-intentioned) agenda. At the very least these folks are simply weeding out treatments with major negative outcomes, like killing the patient. So some placebos get through and called 'treatments' like LBR - unless there is some better treatment that you're forgoing, there's really not much harm except for the $400.

The folks that do a lot of research will make better choices than those that don't - but they will also help all those others make better choices over time as they communicate their ideas and results to the masses.
How many programs weed out students anymore? None that I have heard of, and the notion seems unlikely given that most are happy to take their students’ money all the way through graduation.
This. I had a great doc until a few years back. Best doc I've ever had by a long ways. He'd spend a good amount of time with you, actually listen to your concerns and even bring up recent papers he'd seen on topics related to my health issues. A few years ago he decided to mostly get out of doctoring because he was tired of dealing with insurance companies. For a while he went to a retainer model ($2K/year up front, $250/visit) and cut the number of patients he was seeing down significantly. I can't say as I blame him.
My snarky response is that unproven is better than disproven, but my personal feelings aside, make undeniably has marketshare and people aren't likely to switch to something else unless it offers them a more significant improvement than naming/indentation.
Show HN: gq – like jq or zq, but you use Go
Hi HN. I've gotten pretty tired of needing to learn a custom programming language for a tool I use once a week or less. So I figured, it might be easier to pick up if `jq` used a programming language I already know. Voila, gq.
Certainly, there is room for corruption.
As someone who has spent almost 20 years in software professionally, yeah. I'm considering doing the same thing because there are still plenty of people and employers out there that advantage people who have the paper. I highly doubt that there is anything in the course of study for a bachelors that will truly be new to me (especially since I already completed most of that study once). But if I did want to actually learn something, say by pursuing education at the graduate level, I have to get that credential rubber-stamping my existing knowledge.
>It’s accredited. Their programs are accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), the same accreditation body used by the University of Washington (#24) and the University of Oregon (#94).
Yeah, lego's API and unreliability were the ultimate driving factors behind writing my own ACME stack. Actually, lego was originally commissioned for the Caddy project -- but then Caddy's needs evolved to having to support enterprises with tens-of-thousands of domains, and lego crippled under that responsibility due to diverging priorities. Lego is primarily used by Traefik now, and Caddy uses CertMagic+ACMEz to provide more robust, reliable certificate management that scales well.

I can guarantee CertMagic+ACMEz is the best cert management available in the ecosystem. It won't let you down.
