Writing software is a hobby I enjoy unconditionally. Seeing people find utility in the software I write makes me happy. Seeing people derive happiness from it, for free, makes me happier. Been doing it for about two decades now.

Thankfully, I don’t need to make a living from my hobby FOSS projects. If I had to, maybe it wouldn’t feel like a hobby.
OK, my question is, no effective commit message system exists without a consistent ticket system.

My partner is a physician in an ICU and a lot of her colleagues have talked about leaving the field as well. Their complaints are #2 & #3 along with:

5. Pay cuts - Most of the critical doctor specialties (ER, ICU, primary) that were the backbone of the pandemic got "raises" that were less than inflation (hers was 1.5%) while profitable elective specialties got big raises. The root cause is the billing system where elective surgeries bill pay out more than critical roles. Still, it's extremely demoralizing to be called a "pandemic hero" and have your pay get cut.

6. Criminal and Financial Liablity - Healthcare is delivered by a team yet the financial and criminal penalties for mistakes are assessed at the individual level. Recently a nurse was given a criminal sentence for a drug mistake which many believe was systematic failure (bad UI / IT systems, bad hospital practices, AND negligence on the nurse). Imagine getting sued or jail time as an engineer for dropping a production database. The few malpractice cases my partner has been involved in, it was very clear that the issues were systematic and perpetuated by hospital practices. However, if they had gone to trial, an arbitrary worked would d have been sued and the hospital wouldn't change its crappy practices. Institutions have effectively dodged liability in many cases.

7. Chronic understaffing and burnout - most ICUs have been understaffed throughout the pandemic. From an economics POV it seems crazy that their is a labor shortage but salaries are effectively dropping.
Right thread.

Every tin can, every dust bin, every window, every car, every wine glass, every sheet of rusty metal became activated as an acoustically perfect sounding board.

It doesn't even need to be that complicated. Starting out with good software that tracks exercise progress of the students, giving them exercises on a suitable level and immediate feedback would already go a long way.
And teachers could use it to see, how the students perform and know what to teach in more detail.
People don't typucally drive at speeds they think are unsafe. When someone is speeding, they generally believe that they are capable of safely operating their vehicle on that stretch of road under the current conditions.

Avoiding the time wasted while pulled over does sound like a reason not to speed but even there it's a tradeoff. How much time do I save off my commute vs how long a stop would take weighted by the probability of being pulled over.
Whenever I see an article about the US healthcare system, I’m forced to wonder:

How is this system itself not a cruel and unusual punishment? Now obviously it’s because it isn’t applied as a punishment for a crime, which is I think the letter of the law.

Still, it feels like we live in some Kafka-esque nightmare where a huge number of things the US government ought to take care of are outright cruel… and that the cruelty is the point.
Horn loaded piezos are common in cheap PA systems (examples: https://www.parts-express.com/search?order=relevance:desc&ke...). They typically work from about 3khz on up, which does involve the upper end of voice. Fidelity isn't great but the things are loud and hard to break for how cheap they are.

No one in acoustics calls Q "quality" really. It's just "q" or people talk about underdamped vs overdamped, etc. If quality comes up, it's usually in the context of lower q designs being higher fidelity (eg, a subwoofer that's ~0.707 vs one that's say 1.2).

What's most interesting about this new transducer is that it's physically thin, but acts as a monopole driver. That's cool and unique.

They'll have to make some variations to dial in just how the geometry affects the response.

Also, this driver as is would beam significant when made as large as some of the examples they talk about. But that's probably ok as the output is low enough you'd want to be in the near field anyhow.
Agreed. It's a great company,and it's rewarding to be building something that is desperately needed and will have lasting positive impacts.

Speaking as someone whose school administrators wanted me to start university by 13 but whose parents objected and held me back, being the same age as my chronological peers was meaningless and did not help me relate to them.

The odds that an 18-22yo traditional college student will overlook a 5-9 year age gap because you share a lot of interests and can have interesting conversations are much higher than the odds that another 13yo will overlook the fact that you have no shared interests at all because hey, you're the same age.

I found it extremely difficult to make friends until I got out from under the limiting influence of my parents who didn't want their kid to be "weird."

Now I have a whole bunch of weird friends who are fascinating, joyful dorks, so it's not hopeless either way, but I'd have loved to experience this much sooner.
Imagine if a polarizing figure, who you and many other people strongly dislike and whose vision for your company is openly controversial, were going to take over your company in the near future. How could the company function?

I have a background in academia and extensive experience interviewing for FAANG, particularly at the entry level. For me this article highlights the futility of current higher education institutions.

From our experience a degree is a mild indicator of performance when hiring at entry levels. We get some great candidates with no degree, and many poor candidates with degrees. Above entry level, the correlation pretty much disappear. I'm really curios what kind of difficulties OP was facing for not having a title.

I don't think we have completely removed a title from our job posting requirements, but it usually uses one of those silly conversions (CS degree or x years of experience).

That makes me wonder, what value would Universities provide if a degree wasn't a signifier anymore? what if all tech companies hired purely based on interview performance and ignored titles even for filtering? I imagine a future where all the knowledge and material is open and free on the internet, and University staff acts more as coaches and mentors, helping people who needs it in a 1-1 fashion. One can dream.

Ahem. Regulatory capture would like a word.
CI/CD is part of Devops. It also includes monitoring systems, keeping them up, maintenance, upgrades necessary to keep the software working.
Unless there's a vulnerability in something internet facing, you can go a very long time without updating anything. So, yes, it doesn't matter... except when it does. I've logged into production systems with multi year uptimes, with updates that haven't been applied in just as long.

Many orgs have a if it's not broke, don't fix it policy. Applying needless updates are just as likely to screw something up.
retaliate:

intransitive verb

to return like for like

especially: to get revenge

transitive verb
to repay in kind retaliate an injury

Words have dictionary definitions, legal definitions, and connotations (note: the especially). Your usage above is consistent with both the dictionary and legal definitions of retaliate, but would be confusing to most English speakers because of the connotations.
I mean, nobody has ever asked for my paper diploma either (I lost it as well, the day after it was given) and I've never heard of anyone asking, but that doesn't mean the degree is useless. I certainly have "BA from such-and-such, MSc from such-and-such" on my resume. Evidence, if anyone cared, is only a phonecall away.

>Why are we struggling to just say inflation is 100%? I can't find a single item that I normally buy that isn't double the price it was last year.

Fruit isn't labour or energy intensive. The cycle hasn't come around for them to have raised much at all yet.

>Why are the officials refusing to just say it? We can't fix things if we hide under "good looking" numbers.

Because it's highly political and those official's employment is subject to political whims.

I pulled the nominal pricing on various things that should be near instantly accounting for future inflation. Everything is up 30+% with a few exceptions.

Rice, cocoa, tea, banana, tobacco, wood, peanuts, and potassium chloride? These are probably more related to something else and not inflation.

There are a number of things which seem to be at the average around 8%.

If you average the averages. It comes to around 40%.

When I do so tinkering in a totally not scientific way like excluding the big drop in wood price that is dropping from peaks and the drops not related to inflation for example. It increases the average to about 47%.

What's super interesting. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/money-supply-m2

Look at the graph and project money supply using pre-2020 data and you'd expect it to be around 17-18 trillion for today. It's actually around 22 trillion. So probably around 20% higher than it ought to be.

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/central-bank-bala...

There's another 4 trillion coming from covid spending. So there's the other 20%.

Now important to note. This isn't 40% overnight, like in how im checking. These things typically take a few years to adjust. So 8.5% inflation over 4 years is about 40%.

Everything for the most part checks out for a locked in ~40%. This assumes the central banks of the world instantly stop all the money printing and there's no new inflation coming. Which we all know isn't true.

i never go under without someone there with me. My father was almost killed twice be incompetent nurses double dosing IVs and other things. My mother, an RN herself, watched him like a hawk every time he was in the hospital to keep the staff from killing him.

Another anecdote, my sister worked at the front desk in some department ( she was an admin and not a nurse) and a patient coded but came back by themselves. Only afterwards did the nurses realize they were marked "do not resucicate" by mistake!

i do not trust hospitals at all.

Hansson has been waging a one-company campaign against the vendors

software for remote working, would ban vendors of the technology
from integrating with it.

I'm looking for other examples like Hansson as research for my next

You start by grouping all sources of advice in to two categories:

1) those who say you can't and/or shouldn't do it. They don't know you. They might as well say you can't fix your own computer, you can't learn to write a shell script, or you can't fix your own car. They "can't" because they're afraid of failing. Ignore them completely.

2) those who say you can, and give you tips on what's difficult and how to make things better. Obviously we can self host, as many people, myself included, do self host, have done so for ages, and will continue to do so.

Some people in category 1) try to make themselves seem reasonable by bringing up these huge lists of things you have to do, but it's all completely doable. Just recognize when a particular person happens to be in category 1), and stop wasting time with them :)

I've self-hosted continuously since the late '90s, and I've even experimented with starting over, so to speak (that is, starting with a completely new domain and new IP), and it's work, but nothing beats OWNING your own data and email. Having direct access to logs means you know exactly whether delivery attempts were made, whether destination servers accepted email for delivery, and precisely when. If you have an interest, it's totally worth it.

NCEES did toy with the idea of a software engineer Professional Engineer license, but it went away due to too little interest.

Can you link to some examples? I've dug around on Github and tried to find some examples of projects using different kinds of build systems, but I don't think they are great examples of what you're talking about. For others who may want to see examples, here they are:

- A Makefile that runs cmake which generates ninja build files that build the project. Neovim: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/master/Makefile

- Cmake that generates ninja build files which build the application. OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) : https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/wiki/build-instruct...

I would suggest to get a smart electricity meter so you can see "live" power usage. I'm not familiar with resistive heaters, but it appears they are purely electrical, which means they are only 100% efficient. Heat pumps (you can use AC for heating) are >300% efficient.

For reference: my 2 person household uses less than 3000 kWh / year (gas heating and electrical cooking), so even 1000 kWh / month would be a lot imo.
Specialists are hard to get a face-to-face with even with socialized medicine (personal anecdote from Sweden). I assume that one thing that transcends national borders is that unless your symptoms suggest anything life-threatening care will be administered in accordance with heuristics. The most probable diagnosis is set, and it is assumed that a patient will return if things does not improve.

However, failing to communicate to a patient that a diagnosis is provisional might serve to undermine their faith in the healthcare system leading to periods of fatigue wherein one doesn't have the self-efficacy to continue seeking care if things haven't improved even if quality of life is severely impacted.

From my limited understanding of the US healthcare system I'd imagine you don't want an excess of cases because each case

1. Is a responsibility, and thus a liability, and
2. every patient your staff needs to accommodate is draining (risk of overwork).

If that would apply to a country with socialized medicine I imagine that Item 1. receives significantly less consideration but that Item 2. is still very much considered. If a unit isn't a first-line care-provider they can in theory be a bit more guarded about who they receive, while first-line just has to bear whatever comes through the doors.

I feel as if I'm shifting to a different point of discussion but I still struggle not to mention the fact that a specialist may not be readily at hand depending on what city you are in.
It depends on the circumstances. In some cases, when guarantees are made and those guarantees are broken, you can sue civilly to be made whole (in a context like this where there was no bodily harm, merely an opportunity missed).

It's real unlikely any such guarantees were made. To do so would be extremely foolish for several reasons (the false-positive rate of spam identification is known and emails can fail to deliver because of an error at either end of the transaction).
> A deflationary currency means you are better off keeping your money under a mattress than using it (either as an investment or an expense).

I am not a crypto-maxi but I do believe there is a grain of truth to the supposition that inflationary economies produce vast waste as we spend ourselves away on empty desires that make us sick.

We are spellbound to a system that wrings from us all life day by day as we toil on bullshit to sustain bullshit.
In speaker transducers, normally you're trying to repress any bending modes of the piston. These produce diffractive interference effects, or in some materials "ringing" modes like a bell that are very hard to filter away. The industry standard way for measuring and optimizing this stuff is a laser measuring rig from Kippel. You can find Kippel data for most drivers on the market.

> I'm discussing the hypocrisy in advocating for the principle only when it suits you.

Maybe the difference is that not everyone agrees with your expansive definition of the principle of free speech. So what appears to you as advocating for the principle only when it suits your opponents, is simply that not everyone agrees with your particular take on the principle itself.

Its fairly easy to support the interpretation of free speech where the state cannot use its expansive power to punish people for their expression. A forceful (via law) application of this principle to private entities would impact their rights in other ways (such as free association) so it isn't surprising that fewer people agree with this more extreme version of the principle.
It's shitty brand design is what it is.
There's some truth in what you're saying but I've got to disagree. Right now there's a kid in a Lagos or Harare slum who will find the cure for cancer. This boy or girls parents will spend their life savings on a Chromebook for this child who will trek to an Internet connection in a library (or a McDonalds like in present day Detroit) and they will acquire a high school education and with that credential be accepted into a top university. It may not prove to be the best choice for some but for many kids in the third world it's that or nothing.
I was at (even a small) Azure shop for a while, and I'm not sure anyone could easily tell who could get at what, and why, as contractors came and went. The ability to see clearly into authorization across systems would be instrumental to making sense of years of inconsistently applied (or iterative at best) access controls.
Because there's nothing of value left to use as backing for fiat, and they must now rely on digital cash to move on with life?
Data point of one: WGU's credit transfer appraisers are comically incompetent

I wanted to complete a CS degree there, since I already have a lot of credits from elsewhere, which I officially transferred to WGU. But then they told me I can't be in CS because I don't have pre-Calculus completed. WAIT WHAT? Right there on my transcript, there are completed 'MATH 460 Math Modeling' and '696 Applied Math Project' and 'MATH 394 Probability and Statistics', which all obviously cover pre-Calc, but no - the appraisers think I might not be able to handle Calculus I so they won't let me go to CS (but I'm welcome to do some IT course).

I'm just sharing what I've seen - middle management treats MDs drastically different than NPs and PAs, even in states where the latter have almost the same scope of practice.

This is not to say that MDs don't have their own reasons to be mad at the system - insurance, changes in patient attitudes, etc.
