> 3 or 4 12 hour shifts a week is normal for salaried nurses. $5200/wk isn't. It's over double.

It's a normal shift schedule, and they pay travel nurses much more than staff nurses to work the same shift schedule. These are typically 3 month contracts, but not always.

> I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Yes, it may be a full week of 12 hour shifts, but it's still a much higher pay. And if you get the next week off, it's a fantastic deal.

I don't disagree, but a lot of people do not want to work (or feel like they can't provide good care for) 12 hours every day for a week.
That quote applies to many (all?) disciplines:

> IT systems that they have to use were designed by people who have not talked with the workers who use them.

This was exactly my experience when I worked for a medical software startup. Our (very unfinished) software got deployed in a hospital with no training, no orientation, no nothing, and it was such a disaster that it was a patient safety issue. Mind you, the engineering team had no say in any of this, not that we were even given the chance, and we weren't even aware that the deployment was for real. We were under the impression that the deployment was for testing purposes, because we were aware that the software was unfinished.

It was a breathtakingly poor decision purely on the part of managers (and, frankly, sales) on both sides of that deal and it was doctors and patients who suffered because of it. An absolute nightmare all around and I'm glad to no longer be there.
No. See https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues/2786

And to be clear, only builds produced by the official Caddy website used to be commercially licensed (not anymore). But the code has always been open source, and you could always build from source for free for commercial use.
Yeah, you're right that doctors kind of missed this. Sometimes I wonder how many questions they ask (depression is what she was being treated for with little success) and how much is volunteered.

I happen to enjoy reading NTSB accident reports in my spare time, and they're always sleep apnea, so it was at the top of mind when I heard things like "headache every morning" and "I randomly fall asleep on my couch". I didn't go to medical school so I'm not sure if those are anxiety/depression symptoms, but a sleep study sounded like it wouldn't hurt. You're absolutely right that doctors should at least be asking these questions ("how tired are you", there is even a scale with more specific questions).
I definitely understand your point of view. It's hard for me to justify restricting my open source work like that though, as I associate "freedom" with "do literally whatever you want, I don't care". I've myself have built businesses on open source code, and wouldn't want to stop others from doing the same either, even if they don't contribute back code.
They controlled their own currency before. It’s their choice to peg it’s value or not.

To eliminate the ability to print money or do any other kind of intervention is like cutting off your legs for no reason. It seems to me that they’re simply doing this a) as a stunt, and b) as a way to get around remittance fees. Except accepting bitcoin means you have a current with no stability, no recourse when anything goes wrong, and one that thru deflation will only make everything more expensive over time but favor the initially rich.

I've used it for a lot of stuff over the years: a constraint-based GUI framework, a knowledge-based automated testing system that ran tests remotely on fleets of target machines, a model-building-by-demonstration system for the aforementioned testing system, an experimental operating system for Apple hardware, a direct-manipulation rapid-application-development system, a WYSIWIG programmable word processor, an artificial life simulator, a help and online-documentation compiler, a commercial graph database, a full-stack embedded control system with GUI for a forensic fingerprint-scanning machine, a syntax-aware diff program for code, a series of name and vocabulary generators for use in fiction and games, a list manager, several versions of a Lisp interpreter and compiler, a file-browsing program, several games, a knowledge-based machine-control program for laser-sintering machines, an anomaly-discovery system for various kinds of data, and a radar image analysis and classification system.

Plus a whole bunch of supporting libraries, tools, and random toys.

I've used it in preference to anything else since 1988. Lisp is an exotic niche option in the programming language space, so a Lisper needs to be prepared to work in other languages, and I often have. I've been fortunate, though, in that I've been able to work mainly in Lisp for more than half my career since 1988. I use it every day in my current job (working on the radar stuff and some other projects at the same employer).
The changelog that's linked in there is depressing: only updates for languages/environments and an occasional minor update to the actual platform every few months.
Yeah, instead of 5.1 or 7.1 surround you could have 500.1 or 1000.1 and have soundscapes that are virtually audibly indistinguishable from actually being in the location.

Maybe overkill for movies but for VR immersion that could be fantastic, especially if the modules could be rigged to use Bluetooth 5.0 so that they would only need to be paired to your computer and mapped out in software the way multiple monitors are mapped out in windows.
There is timeshift for btrfs. Sadly it only works for certain very standard btrfs subvolume layouts and if you deviate only slightly from that it is no longer supported..
They don't think they can handle more work with fewer workers. It's just a profit squeeze, and someone else pays the price.

I can relate to a story set in places in the Deep South and Midwest, places I have barely been, because the author speaks to common motifs, assumptions and subtext. (This also lets them play with implication, something lost if one must be explicit about what may lost outside one’s culture.)
This is really interesting, thanks for sharing. One thing that surprised me was:

According to one veteran in a Soviet documentary of the event, "Some, the majority even, had no protective clothing, and besides it was impossible to use gas masks" [in the 115-degree Fahrenheit (46-degree Celsius) temperatures of the area].[clarification needed]

"The exercise was conducted on September 14, 1954, at 9.33 a.m"

46C at 9:33 a.m., mid-September in 1954?

https://weatherspark.com/h/d/148893/1954/9/14/Historical-Wea...

I think the Soviet documentary quote might be talking about some entirely other event?
Me too, and this is my experience as well. In the rare event that I find out that someone isn’t getting my emails, I tell them that they should complain to their provider or use a different one. I’m no longer willing to jump through hoops so that hotmail delivers my email.
Elon Musk Defeats Investor Claims That Tesla's SolarCity Deal Was Improper
Ok, I see your point and think you're right. The quote distinguished between scientists/technicians and management. I met many in the former group who cared little about the goals of the organization, but to your point, they had been within the organization a long time.
That's actually my point. IF they are able to meet their obligations in nursing and their job is literally such a superior option to all the alternatives that they don't have 'optionality' then it's a weird flex to be angry at your one best(least bad) option that actually pays your rent and child support. Be angry that the alternatives aren't as good as the nursing gig you have.

I definitely feel for those paying child support, because 'imputed income' means you must pay at whatever rate the judge thinks you can make the best money at. You can never take a more relaxing lower paying job, because it will result in your imprisonment. Those people really have no future in the US -- their only option to throttle back their income is suicide, leave the country, or wait to go to jail. I blame society for the existence of these debtor's prisons, not nursing employers.
Six or seven years ago I was in Chile for a few weeks as a language-learning exercise. While I was there the power adapter to my MBP broke, making it unusable. At the time there was no Apple store in the entire country! I had to go to Brazil or Argentina to get "authorized" repairs.

I needed my laptop and so I ended up fixing it in my friend's backyard with duct tape and superglue. (Works to this day, AFAIK -- but no more Macs in this household anymore!)

I am taken aback by this attitude against "right to repair" people. Do you guys seriously believe that we must all nuzzle up to Apple to fix our stuff?

> They make devices that last

Seriously beg to differ here. My MBP fried its nvidia graphics chip from overheating and all of my iPhones have had battery issues after 2 years (despite battery health reporting 80-90%). In fact now that I think about it the neither the earpiece nor the bottom speaker are working right either.

This seems to be highly bifurcated, like so much in the US, between the haves and the have-nots. But overall I don't think it's fair to say "Hospitals BARELY make their budget." As usual, the whole system is broken. There are some hospitals with a wealthy customer base with full-ride insurance who can bill obscene amounts and profit massively, and then there are some hospital systems with uninsured and underinsured customer bases who are just scraping by.

I looked up my local hospital network, UCHealth (Colorado, there are many UCHealths it would seem), and their EBITDA in 2021 was 16.6%. Mayo Clinic posted 1.2 billion dollars in _operating profit_ in 2021, and also have a gigantic investing arm with several billion dollars under management.

Then we look at networks like Spectrum in Michigan, who posted only a 3.6% margin, or Henry Ford, with a negative operating margin offset by investment income, and it becomes clear that _some_ hospitals barely make their budget while _others_ rake in dollars.
I found it interesting that Pascal had a "packed" keyword and C didn't (outside of implementation specific attributes like __attribute__ ((aligned (8))) in GNU).

The tricky part is that you'll want to do some exercises, which means turning on the computer, which means a risk of distraction.

The 4% rule is pretty generic. But if 2.5-3% will cover your expenses, statistically that will never run out no matter how long you live.
I don't think so. Angular and React are made by Google and Facebook. The Bootstrap CSS framework originated at Twitter. Chrome/WebKit were developed by Google and Apple. The V8 engine inspired NodeJS. Also there was this weird time period where every app suddenly had to be isomorphic, i.e. sharing the same codebase as the webapp with the native apps. I think a lot of the initial work to deliver code at scale had to be done by Big Tech to accommodate their hypergrowth in the early 2010s.

My team owns a Node 14 JS lambda application that is completely serverless. We’re focused on keeping our lambdas small with single responsibilities and leverage lambda layers for anything common across multiple lambdas. Cold starts are a concern, but is very negligible (< 100ms tops) and unnoticed by our client apps. We host all of our static web and JS assets via Cloud Front so they load quickly. If a user happened to visit our site when a lambda incurred a cold start, it’s not perceptible. We were much more worried initially about cold starts than it turned out we needed to be. Keeping lambdas small, picking a good language for the job, and leveraging lambda layers help minimize this a lot.

Former CS program TA here.

It's not just him. At least at the time I was doing it, it was a lot of people in the program. Maybe even half.

At the time, it annoyed me to no end. Not so much anymore. Programming is a well-paid profession with relatively few barriers to entry. The degree is (usually) one of them. Treating it as just another thing you need to get past in order to get to a good career is fine. Good even. Probably saner than my younger self's "I love this and it will consume my entire life for at least a decade" approach to the subject.

The older me kind of wants to have more people like this on my team. There's a certain ruthless logic and economy of effort here that really earns my respect. It might help counterbalance the tendency to get carried away and over-engineer things that many of us "CS is my life's calling" people tend to exhibit.

I run several small business email systems in the UK. You do need to get at least SPF and the usual MX, A and PTR records sorted at a minimum. Also A and PTR and (E)HELO must agree.

You can relay your mail via another service if you need to gather some karma for your domain but ensure you get your DNS records right. That way you can run your own full mail system from a "dodgy" IP address.

It's not for everyone but neither is IT in general. If you can fathom a Mastodon server then you can manage an email system - technically speaking. However, you must get the basics sorted out and don't send anything that can be construed as spam!

We're big Heroku customers; despite that, I largely agree with the points in this article and there's a voice in the back of my head asking every few months "is this worth it?"

Whenever I research the new crop of Heroku clones (the one being hawked here, and others) the pitch is always "it's just like Heroku but you can run it in your own cloud". It's mind-boggling to me that none of the clones understands that I DON'T WANT TO RUN IT. Yes, I pay Heroku a premium because I like their software (the pipelines are great, dyno formations mostly Just Work) but what I'm really paying for is:

* Never typing "ssh"

* Never thinking about a full disk from a runaway log file

* Never thinking about a load balancer or a certificate

* Never waking up because a Postgres host has failed

* etc, etc

I have no interest in a "Heroku but you run it" PaaS but I'd pay though the nose for a "Heroku but it's actively developed" PaaS.

Actually, most of the world would agree wholeheartedly with censoring racism and bigotry, because most of the world suffered dire consequences from letting hate speech propagate unchecked, and learned the lesson that such speech never exists in a vacuum, its purpose is always to influence behavior and direct action. It's only in the US that people unironically say "but what about the Nazis?"
Frankly it sounds like you're prematurely grinding your axe. We don't have enough details to really form an opinion like that. As a fellow entrepreneur I am excited at the idea of more open collaboration/resources for people writing code. Hell imagine a world without GitHub.

please cite where an npr report gives the impression she's been scapegoated in such a way that she doesn't deserve the consequences she's been given. I'd love to read it honestly.

From what I've seen there's been a lot of reporting on her case, and how Vandy rightfully deserves a lot of pain, and a lot on how a subset of nurses feel she's been railroaded, but I've not seen what you claim and would like to know where I missed it.

I'll also re note that pharmacists have carried this burden for over a hundred years, and their removal from the process is part of how this chain of mistakes happened to begin with.

Good points. Traditional sports have so many breaks in the action and these are the places where (good) commentators can explain what's going on, replays can be shown, etc.

I don't know how you could do with with something that is as non-stop as videogaming.

To really make things comprehensible you'd almost have to... give up the idea of a strictly "live" broadcast. Broadcast it on a short delay so there could be an opportunity for some exposition while the action is "paused."

It would be tough to find the right balance between hardcore-friendly and noob-friendly. But I'm sure it could be done. After all, traditional sports have found this balance.
I hate this framing. It's not a matter of people denying that science is real, but a question of not trusting scientists. There are a lot of reasons for that, some of them good (e.g. people cloaking their agendas in pseudo-science or misrepresenting the claims of science) others not so much (anti-intellectualism, motivated reasoning). The article itself acknowledges it's a trust issue, but still calls it anti-science rather than what it is: anti-distant-impersonal-authority-that-claims-to-know-better-but-has-its-own-agenda. That doesn't fit on a yard sign or make people feel as intellectually superior, but does at least suggest possible solutions.
I wasn't healthcare admin and most of my department was staffed with nurses. But we were very data oriented and it helped buffer us from emotional responses to problems.

I'm not surprised. Even great devs sometimes slip up and when you have enough people, someone is always slipping up. The only real solution IMO is to have safeguards in place like credential scanning (ideally both locally and on the server). It's not foolproof, but it can help avoid or minimize a lot of incidents.

> I can’t count on doctors _at all_ to move the process forward. It’s always me, reading articles on PubMed and coming up with ideas.

This seems to be the case with most medicine. Doctors in the US don't seem comfortable making suggestions. I recently got appendicitis and at first they only offered an appendectomy as a thing I could do (or not do). I had to specifically ask for a recommendation to get someone actually recommend a path, and this probably is one of the most routine cases in an ER. Can't imagine having something more complex.
Honestly, unless they're not in the midst of fighting a serious illness, most Americans just want to be sure that they have access to better healthcare than the people below them in the socioeconomic ladder. They're fine with healthcare deteriorating, as long as it deteriorates at least as much for the guy below them.

Now, if a serious illness comes along, some people do wake up and realize it's not a f*cking game. But certainly not all.
How badly is the entire industry mismanaged if hospitals have to charge thousands-to-millions of dolllars for treatments? There is no possible way that is just barely supporting facilities+medical staff+reasonable administration+liabilities if other countries can do it at tiny fractions of our price.

Instead, the story as I've heard it seems to be similar to education: massive administrative overhead permitted by fundamentally broken insurance billing.

Sure I may not know healthcare but they really need to fix their shit.
I agree. And he’s putting tons of work and evangelism into his CLOG framework. It’s pretty fantastic.
To be fair, the vast majority of patients they see who do bring in their own sources are probably the kooks. Just look at the state of national discourse on any topic related to science. The number of people within the intersect of the venn diagram of "able to interperate the relevant literature", "has time to interperate the relevant literature", and "doesnt trust the doctors ability to interpretate the relevant literature" has to be remarkably small.
