You're describing Brook's Law from The Mythical Man-Month. It was an observation of collaboration in software engineering specifically, and it cannot be applied universally to every industry. Really, anything that is highly parallel (medicine, teaching, stocking shelves, waitstaff, deliveries) can benefit from hiring more people until you reach saturation, and medicine isn't there or we wouldn't be having the conversation.

The problems are caused by a "just in time" approach to staffing, where you have exactly enough people to cover the shifts at bare minimum. What solution would you suggest other than more people? They are not saying to throw more nurses at patients simultaneously, they are saying to hire more nurses so existing ones aren't bound to spent the entire week stretching themselves across the hospital.

Also, I think you are being downvoted because you are applying software engineering rules to medicine.
Sounds like this person isn't hanging out with the right people.
Ask HN: Cloudflare Pages vs. Netlify vs. Others?
Cloudflare Pages was released just over a year ago. I have some side projects and wanted to setup static sites (using git). Would love to hear from people what they are doing to deploy mostly static sites. I am a fan of Cloudflare in general so definitely looking at Cloudflare pages. Netlify seemed ok when I tried 3-4 years ago but their free plan seemed a bit slow on loading the pages.
> Don't forget that nurses can now legally be thrown under the bus with criminal charges for malpractice while hospitals walk away scotch-free

The nurse in that case was prosecuted for criminal reckless homicide (not malpractice, which is civil negligence.) The characterization of the hospitals direct responsibility is negligence not arising to criminal (gross) negligence (as the principal of respondeat superior doesn't apply in criminal law, the employees recklessness would not be imputed to the employer the way it would in a civil case.)

As for civil liability if the hospital, that was settled out of court with the victims family, the hospital did not get off scot free.

This... isn't a new thing that deserves the “now” label like it is a change. Criminal wrongdoing by employees (including in healthcare) very often does not rise to a level of criminality for the employer, and that's been true for a long time.
Of course Excel tables are incompatible with dynamic arrays. Does PostgreSQL or SQLite or any RDBMS allow you to have columns with arbitrary and varying sizes in the same table? It doesn't make sense.

Web Excel is not Excel, not even going to go there.
I build and maintain one larger open source application currently, although am pretty adamant on releasing my side projects under an open source license.

For me, I spend copious time working on it or engaging with my users purely to improve the app, which adds value in my life. (It's a self hosted reading server like Plex).

Even though I develop at work as well, coding on something for myself and something that I have complete control over, is extremely fun and I end up with tough problems that I would have never faced in my current job function (like optimizing for memory and learning how that works in a CRUD-like application).

My project is: https://github.com/Kareadita/Kavita
This. Our goal was to build a toy OS, from scratch, in x86 assembly, that could multitask execution of DOS COM files. God help you if you didn't already know ASM.

Fortunately we were graded at milestones, and our sins (bugs) were forgiven by replacing our individual buggy implementations with known working implementations that covered the concepts up to that point.
I think presidents of human rights related NGOs should actively speak out against ongoing genocide, yes.

Presidents of environmental justice NGOs should speak out when governments (including those where they live) allow toxic sludge to flow into rivers.

Presidents of journalistic freedom NGOs should speak out when journalists are being killed, imprisoned, and censored.

Presidents of consumer rights NGOs should speak out when popular products kill consumers.

Presidents of veterans NGOs should speak out when veterans are denied healthcare.

Presidents of children’s rights NGOs should speak out when children are systematically abused.

Etc.

Fortunately, presidents of NGOs don’t fear for their life in the USA, because the USA is substantially governed by laws, and American residents enjoy freedom of speech and association. NGO presidents who criticize the US leadership don’t get defenestrated or disappeared to a gulag.

If someone is president of the Freedom of the Press Foundation and is not in a position to advocate for freedom of the press because they are so afraid for their life they must live in total silence (note though: Snowden did make one post specifically disavowing this scenario), then they are completely useless in that role, and their silence calls into question their past activities and motivations. At that point they should resign and pass the job to someone who can actually do it.
I don't think computer science education applies here. These people are looking for a solution and smart enough to follow the bread crumbs.

If you view the commit message first, then I don't see how having the issue ID as the first thing helps your git blame use case. You can see the issue ID just as easily in a footer line of the commit message.

As for screen space, one of the standard email client layouts has a vertical split, with message titles on the left and bodies on the right. This generally fits well with 16:9 screens, but the line width for titles is limited. Having e.g. the affected component or subsystem up front is much more useful when skimming.
Stockholm is the first city in the world to heat homes with datacenter heat
Why do you suppose there are gaps in the first place?

Why don't they make it one solid piece? You can do that with composite construction. Just overlap layers and glue it all together.

It could have something to do with how the fuselage change shapes and distorts under different conditions. The airplane goes through various different shapes depending on things like pressurization and thermal expansion. The body gets a bit bigger, the wings flap up and down, things get wider and shorter and harder, etc. etc.

With composite construction things are glued into place, but they need to be designed to accommodate this movement. The glues and such things have a particular amount of elasticity and fatigue limits.

Could be that a 0.005 amounts to 10% less gluing surface and thus the projected fatigue life of the glue is now much different because there is much less.

Just speculating.
I'm not sure why you felt the need to explain to someone who was genuinely curious as to how something might fail, that they shouldn't ask questions.

And then the patient is charged a disposal fee.
True, and there are lots of these (Bayes's theorem, Bresenham's line drawing algorithm, Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm all spring to mind). But I kind of assume that it's because it's useful to have a name for De Morgan's Laws and these others (so it stuck as a good meme in the original meaning of "meme"), rather than because we're all so impressed with this amazing result.

My experience: I'm an icu nurse in the sf bay area. I make a good salary. However, you can make this and more with a job with less physical and emotional stress/abuse. Even the "best" hospitals like kaiser/stanford/ucsf are always short staffed. I considered another area of nursing/hc but it's really all the same BS of being short staffed, constantly being denied vacations, etc.

I feel like a waitress, custodian, social worker, therapist, punching bag and other stuff - It's never ending. This has effected my mental health so much that I am slowly doing my career switch to SWE. While I know every job has it's own difficulties bs/stress/politics, the one's i deal with as a nurse now I can no longer deal with. I don't regret this career path because it has taught me a lot, and their is something better for me out there.

Career: I did consider other areas of nursing, but they didn't satisfy me, ICU is relatively the most enjoyable for me. On a regular hospital floor/intermediate floor, a nurse will be given 4-5 patients and let me tell you its a ZOO! In ICU i only have 2, and those keep you busy the whole shift. They're both different kinds of crazy.

I will say, being a nurse in California is 5x better than anywhere else simply because their are laws that allow us to have uninterrupted breaks!
a plaintiff would have to prove actual damage. otherwise what would their claim be
Perhaps. But again, why is the overtime needed?

If it's because it provides more patient care beyond what a nurse can provide in a good system, it might be a valid point. But if it's because the system is fundamentally broken, I'm skeptical that hiring more people will actually fix anything. From personal experience, it will only create a lag that will require the same need for more hires down the road.

The problems some people have, I swear... I busted out laughing reading that some people cough trying to cover the sound of shit hitting the water. I thought that was just '90 bad comedy tropes.

How do I solve this "problem"? Simple, it's absolutely no problem at all.

Who the hell cares that your coworkers hear you taking a shit? Guess what, they also take shits and their asses make the same noises, do all of them cover it up in such ridiculous ways? Until today, I didn't even think this was even a problem.
>It's an interesting problem, because we currently align economic 'productivity' and pay rather than social value and pay

How do you define and measure "social value"?
I don't feel that he's being disingenuous. He just doesn't have the experience or the context. University prestige and your uni social circle can dramatically improve your professional life, but you're not going to know that if you haven't experienced it yourself or personally know anyone who's had the privilege.
We make really usable software for nurses, and they absolutely love it. I think the effort we go to is totally unnecessary to achieve that, as - just as you say - most medical software is so bad from a user perspective.

Anyway, it's nice to make software like that :-)

This just shows people will complain no matter what. Apple charges $49 to replace an iPhone 8 battery. You don't have to physically wait at the store for "hours", you can drop it off and pick it up later. Or you can mail it to Apple and they mail it back in 3-5 business days.

Name any other phone manufacturer that offers a better service.
Is there such a service that will tell me the reputation of an email domain, i.e. whether mail originating at that domain would be likely to be treated as definitely spam or not? (I don't really care about "no reputation"; I want to know if a domain has known bad reputation.)

I feel like, if there was such a service, it would be pretty useful to use it to prevent account registrations on other services, from users whose email addresses have domains with bad reputations. After all, they'd very likely just be registering with the intent of using the service to send or post spam in some way.
Most people can't be experts at most things. That's how specialization works.

It's easy to blame consumerism and people being dumb when you look at a single market, but there are hundreds of markets and in the other 99 we're the dumb ones.
The biggest difference between the 2 protocols (Mastodon and email) are age and volume.

Email is old and used by everyone, Mastodon is new and used by nobody.

Email is targeted for attacks because it's used by a lot of people and there has been enough time to develop mass messaging tools.
The US has lots of people interested in nursing and not enough infrastructure to turn them into nurses:

Spent $500 for a pointless MRI.

I have some specific domain knowledge on my injury (very sport specific) but obviously have not spent 10+ years in school studying hand surgery.

But I did read and send AND tell/ask in my appoint real specifically relevant med publications saying the only way to see what I wanted was an ultra sound under stress.

My PT also said this. But not a 'real md.'

So I had to pay and sit through an uncomfortable MRI for nothing. And never got the ultrasound. Should have just said no thanks.

I have an email address with "spam" in the name (this is through gmail) and lately I've had all kinds of problems with emails to it disappearing - I've had to call several places and have them change my email because I can't log in and the reset emails don't ever show up... but changing to myfirst.mylast works fine.

I've run into this with both Sam's Club and Speedway Rewards.

Only thing I can think of is that some outbound mail service they're using is dropping them, or some relay in the middle is dropping them... I can see where the word "spam" would be a keyword you might use, but I've had this email address for 15 years now and it's only been a problem in the last few years.
Look into _why_ they're doing it. Right to repair laws are being passed in countries, especially the EU. Cynically, Apple could want to get ahead now for the PR win, that they didn't need to, while all these years they have dragged their feet.

Travel nursing is definitely a great way to turn the tables if you can do it. The money you can make is clearly quite high! I fully support those nurses using travel nursing to get greater pay.

But it also isn't an option for everyone. Many don't have the flexibility to switch to travel nursing. For example, you may not be able to get a nearby contract and may not be able to travel (e.g. because you have children). Plus, traveling isn't an option for new nurses without experience, who now have to work in hospitals that are hemorrhaging experienced nurses to traveling AND have worse staffing ratios than ever.
As that paper's abstract says, "Cells in A1 of rewired animals differed from cells in normal V1: they exhibited larger receptive field sizes and poorer visual responsivity, and responded with longer latencies to electrical stimulation of their inputs" -- that is, the aditory cortex expects auditory data, and although it can adapt it doesn't handle it as effectively as the visual cortex does, because it's expectations aren't met. So that's evidence that there are predictions baked in from day one.
I don’t think that reasoning is necessarily unsound. For there to be regulatory capture, there needs to be regulation. The legislation proposed could be to remove or minimize that regulation, and thus limit the ”hooks” whereby to capture it with. Replacing ”governmental interference” with ”less governmental interference”, not ”different governmental interference”.

I don’t take such a libertarian view myself, by the way. Just pointing out that I don’t think you can pick apart the argument of the person you replied to in that way.
Learning social skills in high school is more like learning how to survive in a prison yard - it couldn't be more far removed from adult social skills. I'd say functional, healthy high schools are in the tiny minority, and generally are private and small.

Not only did Facebook and GChat refuse to peer with little players, they refused to peer among the big players too. We could have had something like IRC for the masses, peered chat servers with bring-your-own-client. Instead, we waited decades for iMessage to get Android support which only happened long after everyone moved on to IG, Messenger, WeChat, etc.

This sounds like a surprisingly good idea, something I hope we see more of (but of course I'll remain pessimistic).

What's crazy to me is that it wasn't always the case that you had to go through the formal process of school to achieve credentialing. If you were truly exceptional, and could prove that, you could then get the required credential.

For example it used to be the case that you didn't need to go to law school to take the bar exam. You still don't in a few US states. Law school might make it a million times easier to learn the law and pass, but if you already know it why not go straight to the test?

Another, admittedly extreme, case was Ludwig Wittgenstein getting his PhD from Trinity College. He had already written the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus on his own, then basically showed up and presented it as his dissertation, defended it, mocked his friend Bertrand Russel during defense and got the PhD.

What's crazy to me is that if Wittgenstein was alive today he would not be able to achieve this anywhere. There are plenty of people out there who have done ground breaking work in their field, but because of the orthodoxy today, have zero chance of getting a PhD without going through the entire process.

There's such a huge difference between schools saying "you technically don't need us to get the credential, but it's going to be much, much harder to go it your own way" than "it doesn't matter what you do, if you don't sit here and play by our rules you will never be recognized".

This is where it's hard not to get pretty cynical about the state of higher education today.
