I'm a bit long in the tooth, so perhaps my experience is colored by time and nostalgia; but I found high school to be where I learned the most in terms of academics. It was where I had an outstanding English teacher who taught me to write with both passion and with a clarity that I cherish. A Biology teacher who helped direct my attention to subjects that helped me fill in gaps in my understanding of our world. A History teacher that guided me towards challenging the status quo, in questioning sources and understanding motivations. This is just a small sampling of the best classes, and obviously ignores the most dull and uninspiring teachers. Highschool was hell for me in so many ways, but academics was the least of the reasons.
You can host your own email. I do it. I don't really have many problems. Every now and again someone's misconfigured mail server decides that my email is spam but really this doesn't matter to me so much. At least the major email providers that everyone else seems to use happily accept my emails.
A simple way to get most of the benefits of self-hosted email (run from your own domain, keep full control of your data, manage mailboxes yourself, etc.) without the problem of being marked as spam is to use a service like Amazon SES as an SMTP relay.
I started reading this, and a linked article[0] promoting security by obscurity, then came to a personal conclusion that techcrunch is a sensationalizing news source and stopped reading.

>executives are having them push a feature that earns a few more million

I've worked here before... Half our customers are complaining about feature X that doesn't work right/ is inconvenient. Exec: we don't care they are already paying us on a 3 year contract. Hack this new feature into the program that a potential new customer wants.

Horrible places to work they are. Thats why I avoid using any long term contracts like the plague. The second I see call for pricing I close the window.
If you live in a climate where it's too cold for heat pumps to function, and rely on electrical (resistive) heating instead, the "waste" heat from the incandescent bulbs offsets the power needed for heating almost 1:1. Replacing those with LED bulbs wouldn't reduce your power requirements at all (you'd just run the heaters more) and the LEB bulbs require more energy and exotic materials to manufacture.
I love this! It's such a novel concept. I hope that in the future the source code will be released.
> how is reversing special privileges for a corporate titan (Disney), that give it abilities that nobody else is allowed to have, authoritarianism?

Making decisions about public goods explicitly as political retaliation for failing to support unrelated positions of the ruling party is authoritarianism. It's *particularly jarringly authoritarian from a faction that is simultaneously arguing that “free speech” is being violated when private actors choose not to actively relay their speech.
Insurance / government repayment is mostly the same thing. A layer of bureaucracy.

Just because dental caries show up with plaque and tartar in no way means that plaque and tartar are causing the caries. These are the mechanism our body uses to protect our teeth from unbalanced oral bacteria. Just like the microbiome of the gut, we have one in our mouth. Removing plaque and tartar does not stop caries.

Caries are initiated by direct demineralization of the enamel of teeth due to lactic acid and other organic acids which accumulate in dental plaque. What is tartar?

Heavy staining and calculus deposits exhibited on the lingual surface of the mandibular anterior teeth, along the gumline

Tartar is a form of hardened dental plaque. It is caused by precipitation of minerals from saliva and gingival crevicular fluid in plaque on the teeth. This process of precipitation kills the bacterial cells within dental plaque.
I have family members who work in health care here in Canada. The fact that their wages are subject to regulation (e.g., they are effectively getting a paycut this year with inflation), they realistically cannot strike to improve their working conditions (people will die), and that their work is very demanding (physical labour, emotional labour, shift work, constantly understaffed) makes this an unsurprising statistic from my anecdotal experience.
In my experience as a software developer, I've grouped my peers into a few different categories. This is just a rough estimate based a small sample set, there are probably various gradients in-between.

1. Super coders: These are the coders who write the algorithms that pave the way for coders below them.

2. Natural coders: Competent coders who take to the craft easily. Can easily learn new things, but probably won't be designing the next great video codec. (I fall here)

3. Amateur coders: that somehow got hired. These are the coders that you curse because you're always cleaning up after them.

...

I have a theory that the same medical professionals have similar categories. This theory was first formed when I once saw a doctor who, on my first visit, regaled me with stories of taking Uber into the city for a night of drinking.

I'd put this guy in the lowest category of medical professionals. He's there to make money by providing a service with little regard for the long term outcomes of his patients.

There is more to the ranking than his crass unprofessional behavior. Upon leaving the appointment, I was given a card with a request that I rate him on some rate-my-doctor.com ... It had the same slimy feeling as one of those "give us 5 stars" cards found inside the box of many product sold on Amazon.

Maybe you should reply to those comments instead. I mentioned:

- reading medical research papers

- bringing detailed information about your symptoms

- mentioning things you ruled out and things you've tried

- having a good understanding of your medical history

I didn't mention ads on tv, youtube videos or HN comments. Perhaps you should reserve your outrage for the proper place.
100% efficiency is rather low for heating. Heat pumps easily give you 400%. Efficiency in this case calculated as: generated energy (in heat) / electrical energy. Efficiency goes beyond 100% because heat is extracted from air or water.
The article seems to focus too much on : How can IT fix this problem?

Ugggh, maybe it can't? As the main problems seem to be political, not tech related?

You might as well ask how IT can be used to fix homelessness or police brutality?
What a joke. They're only offering parts for iPhone 12/13/SE and the prices are the same as Apple's own repair service.

So I can pay Apple $329 to fix my broken screen, or I can pay ~$311 + shipping to do the repair myself (actually I can't because they're not selling parts for my broken XS Max on this site).

Maybe the only good thing about this is that they're selling equipment that might be valuable for third-party repair shops, like the "heated display removal fixture". Although I'm pretty sure better alternatives exist.
It depends on where you go (and when; things have changed somewhat recently) but I know some CNAs who never became RNs because the time it would have taken to claw back the money spent on the degree wasn't worth the added stress of actually being an RN.
Very much so. I not only came to understand this through my own experiences, but also came to realise that much of what I was being taught at school was how to wrest control of any narrative, and make it mine.

It was a useful skill in building a business, and it’s a useful skill in understanding the human world - practically everything is a battle of narratives, of finding the better story, the tale which speaks to the heart and ensnares rapt listeners, eager to repeat the story to others.

It’s also useful in understanding markets. I don’t buy or sell based on any objective reality, rather what the dominant narrative in the minds of others is.

Most are oblivious to this. They take the world at face value, and never even consider that they are principally a bit player in another’s story - and that lack of knowledge keeps them trapped in the fairytale.

On the other hand, those like me who are, wittingly or not, trained in setting the scene, inevitably end up being the authors of our collective destinies. Sadly, many of the stories are very repetitive, uninventive, and cast villains as heroes.
I wasn't aware of anyone using GWT outside of Google. Prototype.js + Scriptaculous was what really started the JS craze IMHO, followed by jQuery. Then came the increasingly more complex MooTools and YUI and Ext.js and friends, though nothing really took off nearly as hard as jQuery did. Backbone is probably also noteworthy as the bridge between jQuery spaghetti and the structured frameworks we see today (on the library consumption side). Knockout.js also deserves a shout out on the front of library authors looking for better abstractions.

A bunch of people messed with Rhino (IIRC Jaxer was one of the bigger ones), but Rhino had a bunch of quirks. For example, strings were Java strings, meaning that length is obtained via `"foo".length()` instead of `"foo".length`. Perhaps the biggest showstopper was the JVM variable limit per class file. Compiling large enough Rhino JS code would yield class files that crashed due to that limitation. And since JS didn't have modules back then, big balls of code were the norm.

Back then, the divide between frontend and backend was also wider. "Full stack" and the uplevelling of frontend folks towards backend skillsets wasn't really as popular as it is today. Node was also seen as revolutionary due to its async I/O first philosophy, whereas Rhino was more or less just a worse Java.
In my experience, most nurses come in, socialise and cheer you up, take your blood pressure and temperature with automated devices, that one can buy for home use, and give you medicines that a doctor has prescribed (someone can also can do at home if they are feeling up to it). This is a wonderful profession and they should be highly paid but do they really need a bachelor's degree or master's degree to do this job? Some specialised nurses can even draw blood but, again in my experience, many of those were unable to "find a vein" and had to call on someone more experienced or a doctor. Pretty sure some experienced heroin users could do a better job at this. Just my experience.
half a lifetime's supply of porn on hand held media.

These are prolly gonna be worse than the Zip/Jaz disks for media cost tho.
It’s good information to have in the comments, I was not making any judgement.
Probably true in certain areas, but nurses are unique in that they occupy one of the few high-wage jobs in rural areas. Nurses, on average, are probably more likely to be in places where it is difficult to find alternative jobs of equal pay.

If you're a typical white-collar professional in say some business/science/engineering field you'll typically, unlike nurses, live somewhere with abundant other high wage jobs.
A lot of Google operates outside the monorepo these days.
So, it's still the raccoon dog, but with just the typical esoteric designer spin put on it to explain the need for a new style.

Much wow. Very cool.
You have a valid point, I was thinking luxury retail.
Some context on WGU

> An audit by the Department of Education's Office of Inspector General, released on September 21, 2017, "concluded that Western Governors University did not comply with the institutional eligibility requirement that limits the percentage of regular students who may enroll in correspondence courses" and that "at least 69 of the 102 courses were not designed to offer regular and substantive interaction with an instructor and, therefore, did not meet the regulatory definition of distance education."

They later kept their federal loan eligibility but it sounds like it might have been a case where they skated by due to a lack of clear guidance.

Do nurses have work unions? Would that solve the issue?
I went to a bootcamp for 6 months for less than $20,000.
Steroids are so commonplace and old, I really doubt anyone was getting pharma kickbacks in the case of your son.

There's just a large range in quality amongst doctors. What you're calling "willful blinders" or "true embodiment of evil" is more likely just a failure to adapt out of a simple paradigm: {Inflammation}->{Treatment = steroids}. And a failure to recognize when that was causing a loop. Maybe they forgot about steroid withdrawal. In fact, as someone with quite an interest in pharmacology and some background as a paramedic, this is the first I've ever heard of it, and I love obscure medication issues.
CNN+: What Went Wrong
Back in the 80s, there was a small piece in Omni magazine where they talked about early machine translation efforts and the phrase, “Out of sight, out of mind,” translated to Russian and back became “Invisible insanity.”

This process gave me “To see, thoughts.”

My writing group’s website was scraped and translated into Chinese for a gambling spam site (I don’t really understand why). There were some oddly poetic bits in the Google translation results for the page that I looked at, my favorite being one member's name, Billy Gee, became Billy Wow.
That's not that usual of a dynamic.

I think the "hardest" job I ever worked was a PC tech support call center or a job at a pizza place. I didn't pick my hours ... and the job was a heck of a lot harder than my coding job that pays WAY more.

But it wasn't like I could just go and get a coding job at the drop of a hat.
This tracks with what my daughter experienced. At her age (HS Junior), she had classes that she wasn't particularly interested in. In-person classes have that social/peer pressure to actually study and turn in work. For dull/uninspiring classes, this helps to push students to pay attention, read the texts, turn in assignments, and participate. With the online classes, she had an easier time shrinking into the background and not participating as much as in-person.
In this case they are pegged to the Euro. Since the Euro is almost certainly stronger than the CAR economy, we see it relegated to a cheap export country and making imports expensive for them. Also, making modernization more difficult.

The CAR seems to have far more challenges, but at least their 11% of citizens with internet access will have more freedom of choice of currencies.
Using an anecdotal source - My Wife (ICU RN) this is sounds right.

Outside of the existing issues with Bedside nursing (long days, physically demanding) - the primary issue is staffing. Pre-pandemic the ratios were already bad but now many are leaving for travel contracts which carry significantly better wages. It quickly becomes a loop where employees leave for Travel Contracts, and then can only be backfilled with Travel Contracts. The remaining FT staff nurses are left making much less money, and have to assist "training" with the outside Travel nurses. And while this is nothing against them - The travel RNs also often have a different "vibe" as they are much less focused on long term improvement or problem solving within the Unit.

Also ICU/PCU/ER nursing throughout the pandemic was a terribly depressing place to be. Leaving many of my Wifes colleagues (including herself) with what is essentially PTSD with little or no support from the Hospital System.
As the son of a retired nurse, I can tell you that this has been true since the dawn of the nursing profession.
Consolidation's a big part of it. The last decade has seen nearly all the small practices and offices in my city gobbled up by a couple of huge companies. With that comes the MBAs and the bureaucracy.
> Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s a business for offering electronic parts in the long-term

I think that's OK, but I think it's immoral to lock down a device to the point where it prevents third parties from producing these parts if they need to.
You can use this library to get pattern matching in Clojure: https://github.com/clojure/core.match/wiki/Overview
Note that the original isn't actual grammatically correct Latin. It's snippets of Cicero that were altered specifically to create meaningless sample text.
It’s always astonishing how I can get a fully itemized vet bill right after a visit and pay for it. Meanwhile going to the hospital is like “well gee, let’s submit to insurance, see what they’ll pay, we’ll readjust prices and then come back to you in a few months.”
On Mastodon, I believe it's currently somewhat backwards from this. The largest instances are filled with Japanese anime porn, and the smaller instances end up blacklisting them.
Yep, it takes patience and lots of trial and error to build and maintain a reliable email server, unlike an HTTP server or Minecraft server which you can fire up with a script any time you want. Probably explains why so few people do it successfully.
One interesting thing to spot-check in this study would be geographic distribution.

Salary for nurses varies widely, and in some places, they're wage-competitive with Amazon delivery drivers now. I can easily see people deciding that even though they like helping folks, getting paid less than the people who drive around and drop packages all day doesn't seem like a fair deal.
Patient satisfaction surveys are the legible feedback mechanism showing that something is deeply broken, but not the source of the problem itself.

It's clear from your comment that the source of the problem is the increasingly sharp divide between what the credentialed medical professionals believe and what lay people believe. The satisfaction survey is simply uncovering that fact.

It would be vastly worse if patients were being treated and had no recourse when they felt their health was mismanaged. It may well be the case that the patients are wrong, but it is extremely dystopian to imagine a world where individuals are not empowered to make decisions about their own bodies.
Some also insulate really well especially with shorter recessions. Like Apple, or Shopify, or Microsoft. They are very insular in many ways
for an iDP there's always Keycloak and Authentik; both incredibly viable.

The problem is not the hosting of it; it's that nothing will integrate with your iDP, so you can't use your personal keycloak/traefik instance with, say, your github or gitlab profile.

Mozilla Persona was a good idea of handling this[0] but sadly was retired.

In my experience, when possible, the commit messages should read as part of a spec, describing the implemented behavior (mostly imperative). Even when fixing a bug, the commit would state what the code is intended to do, just as its resp. test exercises.

This way it's somewhat easier to follow the reasoning of the committed changes.

Another detail is to prefix a subsystem affected, that's in case of modular or complex application. Also help focus the attention.

My preference in general is to write single line messages (shorter ok, longer - ok too), unless it's something very non-trivial and source-code policy discourages lengthy comments.
Obviously the doctors should have done the paperwork and you shouldn’t have had to deal with that. But it seems like the root cause isn’t that doctors don’t want to do paperwork, it’s that the insurance is introducing too much paperwork.
Disagree. If the authentication mechanism are available from the get-go, it could work.
That's probably because Ubuntu 21.04 used Wayland by default for all but Nvidia [0] and 22.04 enabled it for Nvidia [1], and Wayland's fractional scaling is an ugly hack (both in how it's implemented and how it looks) [2][3]. Progress is being made [4], but it's quite slow.

Switch to the X session on the login screen and you should have good scaling again (also, lots of applications that do screen sharing, like Zoom, do not work on Wayland [5]). Or just be like me and use Mint, which has no plans for Wayland support and you don't have to think about any of this.

>Globally, Android has 87% of the market and iOS has 13%.

That is not true. Neither in unit shipment or usage. However one wishes to define as market share.

>You're singling out one particular market

And if that market has its own jurisdiction. Then yes, both UK and Japan has over 60% of Smartphone user on Apple's platform.
From what is worth, I'm a data scientist who has worked on ads in the past.
I've always been under the impression that massive scale audio processing for ad targetting was way too expensive when compared to the signal we can extract from the audio data and as compared to the final ad conversion.
I mean, at least from the prices of having an instance processing streams/bacthes of audio data just to sort out brands/products/services that were mentioned in those audio streams.

In my understanding, showing ads for what people that are connected to you searched/bought/interacted, as in a simple network analysis, would be much cheaper and would give you very similar results.
SoCal water shortage emergency declared, outdoor watering restricted
When I was in undergrad (20ish years ago) it was absolutely possible for a motivated student to graduate at a highly accelerated rate. I know someone who had approximately 5 semesters worth of classes done at the end of his freshman year, having taken about 40 credits worth of classes each semester (12 credits was considered "full time" and you needed to average slightly more than that per semester to graduate in 4 years in most degrees).

He was able to do this because:

1. Only foreign language classes and lab sciences had class-participation requirements

2. All classes published a syllabus so where possible he could start the major projects early

3. Most of the lower-division classes were a joke to a smart and motivated person anyways.

4. He convinced an academic advisor to sign off on it (this was arguably the hardest part).
