I agree with you in regards to how the current system is not blind and discretionary prosecution is a negative. I am all for pretty much anything that removes a prosecutors ability to give a pass to a preferred class of offender. By that I generally mean police officers. Giving them an additional power to decide the value of a victim based on their family or their biased opinion of goodness is not a net positive and just further greys the area. I hear what you are saying and actually sympathize with it but I think the solution should be to focus on removing as much discretion as possible as it just gives prosecutors and law enforcement decision making power they should not have.
Go supporters see C++ templates as abomination, yet these performance problems can be easily solved by C++ templates. C++ templates can have integer value in its template parameter, so if we implement that B-Tree in C++, we don't have to resort to codegen at all, as the language is powerful enough.
Yeah, I use them all the time for the specific memory layout part. At the same time, I've never had to go as far with optimization as trimming a few bytes off my structs for the program's memory footprint.

If that struct is getting written to storage or shoved over the wire though, I'll always optimize/pack them down, both for the size reduction and because it makes it easy to reconstruct on any other CPU.
If I commissioned Adobe Software to write a program, from scratch, that I specifically state I will own all rights to the program and source code itself, then I would fully expect to license it how I want.

We are not talking about a single consumer. We are talking about the state itself. They will get the license they want if they believe it is needed.
Amazing results. It'd be excellent if there were some- how do you say it- temporal compression too? Maybe reading deeper will show potential here, but just looking at a single frame seems like less than half the picture.
$250k is only middle of the road for a senior engineer in places like The Bay where the majority of jobs are at big, successful public companies.

Outside of that, $250k is pretty much top of the like for a SWE.
I think this gets it a bit backwards. There has been a shortage of nurses for decades, and it’s getting worse. This is exacerbated by an aging population and restrictive immigration policies. Travel/agency nurses were supposed to be load balancers for a system with variable demand for labor, but for a variety of structural reasons agencies began to pay nurses more. This has prompted a landslide of nurses moving into agency work. Labor costs have risen accordingly, but fundamentally that’s driven by the shortage of supply. If you talk to administrators they will tell you that they hate relying on agencies but they have no viable alternatives. They can’t raise wages because they have little/no control over their own cost structure thanks to the screwed up way healthcare in the US works, and most hospitals are barely scraping by. There are no easy answers to this one, and blaming it on shortsighted administrators (of which there are many!) misses the larger context.

Can’t speak to the other problems, but the trunk thing is a handsfree feature that opens the liftgate if you’ve been away and then return with the keys. Not sure why they didn’t go with the standard “kick under the trunk” handsfree thing, though.
That's a little bit different and not as detrimental though. It's actually an incentive for nurses because they get to work fewer days. Instead of doing 10 8 hours shift every two weeks they'll do 6 12 hours and basically get 8 days off every 2 weeks, which is pretty interesting from a free time perspective.

My gf did both and while she was tired after 12 hours, overall I think she preferred it.

I thought so too, but the wording of "touchpad" instead of "touchscreen" was a bit too weird.

I agree though, you are most likely right. Wouldn't be the first time a promo website decided to put a bunch of weird phrasing for whatever reason.

Even on that same kia page, they talk about 4 "neuroscientific" parameters for the synth. I was expecting some randomized (ala arturia microfreak) or neural-net related things. Turns out, they were referring to things like BPM.
I totally agree with you but I'm pretty sure you just described the Normal distribution. People need to stop putting certain occupations on a pedestal. I've had good doctors and bad doctors, largely the latter. Tbh, most doctors don't have the time to be good doctors, due to how most hospitals operate, so it's really tough to judge them fairly. Also to add I'm only discussing US hospitals I haven't had enough experience outside the US for any of this to be applicable outside of it. My small amount of experience with Drs in Tokyo and Prague were great.
Litigation/malpractice probably plays a role too. I imagine doctors are under a lot of pressure to do everything by the book. If it works, awesome. If it fails, they can say they followed best practices and it's not their fault. If they deviate for any reason, they do so entirely at their own risk if/when it blows up in their face. It's just not worth it (in the expected value sense) to step out of line.
What is TESU?
It is a fairly common problem. We extrapolate our perceptions of the world from our peer groups. I had to suppress my urge for saying I am underpaid at $200k, because my non-tech (still STEM) MIT & Harvard grad-student room-mates would get annoyed at me. That's how messed up our circles can get, when STEM grad students MIT and Harvard are the poor ones. We live within many nested bubbles.

$250k still puts you in the top 2 Percentile of the US. So, while double the nurses would get to retire cuz of rich husbands, 98% would still be in the same pickle.
This isn’t correct. There’s one portion of the flight regime where the new engines result in different characteristics. To counter that, the MAX has an automated stick pusher. What’s the alleged fix? Pull the breaker on the overhead panel.

There’s a similar failure mode in pre-MAX 737s called “runaway trim”. The giant trim wheels on the center pedestal spin in a loud and attention-getting fashion. The fix? Pull the breaker on the overhead panel.

Imagine the government trying to develop software.

Thanks, I needed a laugh.
Wrong again.

The design goal for the software was to make it fly like other 737s. The software did not actually do that, but did "something" that inspectors allowed was just enough different from without to certify. And, in case of equipment failure, or various other circumstances, the software failed completely, because it was just really badly designed. If you knew about the system, you could turn it off in case of trouble, and then the plane would fly fine, just not enough like a real 737 that you could completely ignore the difference.

Then they made it hard to know that the system was there. People who knew how to turn it off could prevent disaster.

I think AWS App Runner (+ Aurora Serverless) could be even better. From what I can tell, App Runner is supposed to be the successor to Elastic Beanstalk and AWS's PaaS offering. App Runner seems a little immature right now (it launched last year and was missing some key features on launch), but it is actively being developed.

I've always been hugely disappointed that AWS doesn't have a better PaaS offering, given Heroku's languishing, and I was hugely disappointed when App Runner launched and was missing some key features... but there is at least a little hope that it's improving.
>Too late, I did

This reply makes no sense, I would greatly advise against falling for the sunk cost fallacy. If all you care about is GTK, then you could have just done a native port of GTK. That would actually be a lot easier than trying to reimplement every X client library. With GTK4 it should be even easier because the backends were simplified and a lot of the weird X idiosyncrasies were removed, and you might actually have a chance to get hardware acceleration to work without having to go through the pain of dealing with GLX. The problem with Xlib is that's is not just the one library, it's actually about 30 libraries. So like I was saying earlier, it's cool that you have one, but the hard and annoying part that isn't worth it is doing the other 29. Nobody has gotten that far, and if you do get that far, the best way to do it would be to copy a huge amount of code. So the goal here can't really be reached in any practical terms, unless you just want to stop here.

Of all places, it was a conversation about the Socratic Forms in a Political Theory course I took in college that really brought the weight of the concept home to me. It went something like "Unlike the realm Socratic forms exist in, everything in our universe is subject to entropy; it is in everything's nature to degrade or decay over time."

Maybe there's more to that? I'm all ears.
> Canada's solution will be to mass-import nurses from the third world

Yes that's basically what Quebec (and probably other provinces) is doing.

> Do twice as much work for half as much money

I might get tomatoes thrown at me for this, but anecdotally "third-world" nurses are usually not as good due to having experience on different equipment, drugs and often languages. It's better than having no one to cover the shift, but it can be seriously dangerous due to lack of training on specific protocols.

They get paid the exact same amount of money and are in the same union, so they absolutely don't do "twice as much work for half as much money".

There’s a huge facility in Everett where they “manage the manufacturing facility”. It was built during the 777 era and, at least when I was there, everyone called it the “Taj Mulally” after Alan Mulally the director of engineering. Mulally stayed with Boeing in increasingly higher positions until he left to be the CEO of Ford in 2006.
It's considered incredibly insensitive to refer to black people as "African American" as it makes a presumption about their nationality. See countless examples, of Americans thinking they're being polite and addressing, say, an Ethiopian woman, living in London as "African American".

Sure. Teaching and learning through social means was one of the great apes' big achievements. It's why we're dominant. Thus, today I believe it's scientifically non-contentious to view humanity as a single, evolving, temperospatial hive mind accelerating with compounding killer apps of language, literacy, and information systems.

Incidentally, try the recent French computer game Ancestors, it's very well executed on this very subject.

Spotify makes me so, so sad. I say this as a premium customer since 2015.

They push out a mobile app update every week with either no changes, or changes to things I don't care about. They removed push-to-preview. They refuse to add custom song start and end times. They focus incessantly on podcasts. Their playlist management is a joke. They get the most embarrassing things wrong, like failing to understand that two artists with the same name are not the same artist, or that a song in my Discover Weekly is just a re-release of a song already in my library. Until recently, their random shuffle kept getting stuck in a loop of ~100 songs. There is no modification history, so if I accidentally remove a song from a playlist or my library, I get a snackbar saying "Removed from library" but it won't tell me what, and there's no way to find out. Their song queue system is utterly anemic. The "Home" button also serves as a kind of pseudo "back button" but with no obvious rules to understand exactly how navigation is going to occur.

The fact that so many third party Spotify integrations exists, each tackling a different deficiency in the Spotify app itself speaks volumes about what Spotify's priorities are. Spotify is lucky that their library is massive and that their recommendations are good (for me anyway. My friend and my mother separately have had astoundingly awful experiences with the recommendation system despite years of trying), or there's be no love lost in moving elsewhere.
It is what their PR staff identified would increase people's confidence if they published things saying it. That has nothing to do with anything actually happening in the factories, except more or less by accident.

On the Road
If my 11 year old Ford gives up the ghost, I’m definitely living the Uber lifestyle. I did it for a year during Covid when I gave my car to my older son who doesn’t live with us. I work remotely and didn’t miss it.

The only reason I have a car now is because we bought a car for my wife and the Ford was hers before.

When I travel for business, I love taking Uber everywhere.

I would rent a car once every two or three months to see my parents who live about 200 miles away.
A nicer suburb of San Francisco. At the moment about 33% of net, going up to 36% next month. Yay!
I started to point out that that one isn't correct either (notice how the back part of the E key is significantly wider than the back part of the F key, which is wrong), but then I noticed that the article says this (mentioning me):

"Update 13 October 2021: This method is great for getting piano key proportions very near accurate with a few very simple steps. Thanks to Rob Brown who added more details in the comments that will be helpful to anyone looking to make a highly accurate model (e.g. if you’re trying to align a drawing with a photo)"

The actual proportions are described in the link above (I wrote a little algorithm to do it accurately for my music app)
You're absolutely right -- as a 13 year old I was quite limited. I was mature enough to carry a conversation with 20 year olds, but not mature enough to carry a conversation with a 13 year old. (I like to think that I've grown up since; and while I don't talk to teenagers very often, when the situation arises I do manage better now than I did back then.)

This is exactly my point, and why University was a far better social experience for me than high school.
Vaccine. Mandate.

It cost something like 15% of the nursing workforce, people who were already Covid immune, since they had worked the Covid front lines from day one.

But we pretended the vaccine helped stop the spread of Covid. It doesn't. And we pretended the vaccine had no meaningful risks. It does. And we pretended that natural (recovery) immunity didn't exist. It not only exists, but it's far stronger than anything a vaccine can do.

And yet we pretended anyway. And now we're paying the price. Pretending makes for bad public policy.

There are a lot of things we need to stop pretending about.

It’s not just to protect secrets, it’s better architecture. Rely on an ACCESS_ID/SECRET_KEY pair and it’s easy to bind too tightly to that authentication mechanism. Then providing credentials in production is a pain. Use the standard credential provider chain and the transition to production settings is trivial.
> How can you justify spending a half million more on software principle when there are other more pressing needs?

if those other pressing needs are so pressing why aren't they looked into already, and is only mentioned when a tender offer is on the table?

The gov't ought to consider each individual need individually and budget it individually.

As for the company B offering 8.5m for keeping the source code private, i would argue that they are getting a better deal out of the gov't than the gov't is receiving.

Imagine if the company B can resell the software for money to another govt. This means the initial gov't paid for the research and development of the software, but the company B is reaping the benefits - all for paying a measly $500k. If the software can sell for more than $500k to the 2nd customer, they'd have made pure profit.

Therefore, the gov't who initially paid to do the R&D should actually own an equity stake in the software if it is to remain private. After all, the taxpayer funded the risk of R&D, and should partake the benefits of that risk.
I enjoyed the article but have a very minor nitpick. I didn't understand why the author added this sentence.

"However, the timescales involved in these calculation are so unreasonably large and abstract that one could wonder if these makes any sense at all."

Apart from the fact that we could wonder about anything and everything I think the author does not state what evidence do we have to suspect that large enough timescales would change the laws of physics.

It could be the case of course, and it would be great to talk about them if they exist but without further justification I feel that this sentence is an unjustified opinion in what is otherwise a very nice article that helps better understand enthropy.
That's the vibe I'm getting.
My biggest UI annoyance is that you cannot sort by newest added when viewing a playlist on mobile (you can on desktop). So if you just added some songs to a playlist and want to listen to them first (I find myself doing this all the time when getting into my car), you have to spend 20 seconds scrolling frantically to the bottom of the list to find them. Let me know if I'm missing something.
> When did that happen?

Not all at once, but decision by decision. One big change was when the AMA was granted a monopoly over the education of doctors. Then there was when companies got around wage controls in WW2 by tying health insurance to employment. Then in the 1960s there was enormous expansion of the FDA, and then Medicare and Medicaid. Then there were laws that required emergency rooms to treat people for free.

All these measures sound great, but they completely mess with the structure of how markets work. And so we have the very expensive, and often dysfunctional, system today.

> That is why prices should not be dictated by a free market.

The free market doesn't dictate prices. Governments dictate prices, which always leads to shortages.

> I guess that is fine if you are a sociopath.
