My take from this paper is that a PM just needs to deploy the usual impossible UX trifecta: make it fast, make it easy, integrate all the different systems from other vendors.

These are all obviously very hard to do, and you have to really want them yourself or they won't happen. I'm surprised how controversial speedy UIs are, for example. JIRA is the most popular issue tracking system, and it's just SLOW compared to newer things like Linear. I see JIRA and would immediately disqualify it for use because the UI is so slow; it takes a minute to enter a bug, or a three-screen process to move a bug from one team to another, etc. But it has every feature people are looking for on its little checklist, so it gets chosen over systems that are speedy and productive.

If you're doing electronic medical records, you need to implement all those long-tail features, and you need to make it fast. Paper is fast. You can't make logins take 1 minute, they need to happen in milliseconds. You can't discard peoples progress when they move to a different workstation. Things like that; the PM just has to say "no, this isn't acceptable", and find a team that can implement it well.

I guess this doesn't happen, and look at the mess that it created.
You don't need to understand the script to have it in the directory and run a sha1 or md5 against it, and compare it against what should have been returned when there's an announcement that there was a problem.

That is what I mean by accountability. When nothing is left on disk of what was specified to execute, there's severely limited recourse in figuring out what happened.

I'm not suggesting every person does:

curl > install.sh
less install.sh
sh install.sh

I'm suggesting they should be directed to do:

curl > install.sh
sh install.sh

and then later if there's a known problem, there are fairly easy ways for them (even a novice) to determine whether what they ran was legitimate or not. Piping a web request directly to a shell is a poor trade off WRT security to request of anyone, IMO. By that I mean that the gain in ease of use is extremely small, but the loss in accountability is fairly large in the case that there's a problem.
I think this was linked on HN the other day, and it basically covers anyone using RHEL: https://boringtechnology.club/

God, I think you can tell the real engineers that have gone through the trial by fire and the ones that haven't simply by how much they agree with that presentation. At some point in your career, at 2AM when your debugging that fantastic new opensource library, for the 10th time, that you rewrote everything because it did exactly what you needed, and made you a hero for a week, you switch from gabbing the latest cool thing to picking those old technologies that everyone knows why they suck.

Because knowing why something sucks when you pick it, is more important than knowing why its good.

RHEL sucks because in 10 years you will be running some horrendously "outdated" software. Its fantastic because over those 10 years you will have made a pile of money selling your product and adding features rather than spending cycles being an upgrade monkey for things you didn't know you needed until someone sold them to you. And your customers, they don't care what OS your running as long as its reliable. Which is something RH provides in spades.
Indeed. I have a top 1% salary but my pleasant life is provided largely by those earning under 30K GBP. This is probably true of the majority here...

It wears heavily on me daily.
> Logically it would have to be fantastically burdensome to convince many people to drive without licenses.

Based on experience (admittedly biased), plenty of people are driving without a valid license or insurance right now.

That’s not an argument not to increase proficiency standards, but I think people who naturally follow rules (like my spouse) have a hard time comprehending people who would see a rule and then evaluate whether or not to follow it.
They are a Video game company. Unfinished products, forever in beta, DLC available before the finished product, QOL as DLC along with necessities (faster charging shouldn't be optional, now they are financially incentivized to slow charging down for forced upgrades), give us all your info so we can sell it, TOS 50 pages long and illegible except to the most hardened of contract lawyers, and not even then (this case is a perfect example- who is to blame, etc).

When some of us warned of this shit from the start we were called luddites, impeding progress, boomers afraid of the future.

I still want my promised hoverboard, instead we get an upgraded cruise control DLC laden car that kills people while claiming you can watch movies and sleep while it drives you.

If you like the emacs-like aspect of Pharo, the Glamorous Toolkit project (which is built on top of Pharo) is worth checking out too.

Same, and I'm the author of ripgrep! Unless the script is one that I wrote for myself in ~/bin, I use grep and find and standard tooling in shell scripts.

The only exception is if there is a specific need for something ripgrep does. Usually it's for speed, but speed isn't always needed.

No kidding. Crypto is deeply unpopular with a significant portion of the public - myself included. This is not the same as the early era of smartphones where you either had one or didn't really know much about them (i.e. were neutral). Many people have made up their minds on the utility (or lack thereof) of crypto and want nothing to do with it. Some of the recent incidents of backlash around NFTs in games come to mind.
Not the course I took. It relies on basic linear algebra like matrix multiplication. You can probably get through it with just coding and not understanding the math but it wouldn't be much fun.

Not sure about the new course.
Oh THIS is why.
Yes, you have to work your way UP to two police cars.
and brands are bought out by private equity and change for the worse all the time. look at the downfall of many historically great brands/names that are no longer what they once where: pyrex vs PYREX. Craftsmen. MEC. Birkenstock. And so many more.

Costco may one day fall too but their brand is what they sell in store and they do actually seem to do due diligence (also they have the Kirkland brand)
None of this shit works. If it did it would be called medicine.
"IMHO, computers and software cannot, yet, and for a long time, will not, account for all the variables that are part of driving."

Neither can every person who's allowed to drive.

The question is should we allow semiautonomous/autonomous vehicles that drive at least as good as the worst human drivers who are legally allowed to drive?

If not, why not?
Hmm, I already have a shell alias that does 90% of this. Doesn't parse .gitignore, but it's not a big problem for me. If it was I'd do `make clean` in the project.

This is always installed and ready to go on any box I have my dotfiles.

I suppose that is why it is hard for these perfectly-good improvements have a hard time getting traction. Because the older stuff is still so flexible.
It's legal in all 50 states, good luck. :)
A binary that you download could be obfuscated to make it hard to audit. A site could offer different binaries to different people, locations, times of day, user agents, etc. That's not really a realistic risk.

Yes and it is interesting that the response to my comment is "oh we meant them too". Which I know is said in good faith but it fundamentally shows a disconnect from how a huge portion of our society lives.

I'm a huge fan of this. There's something magical about receipt printers. I love the idea that there is a long, infinite canvas which can flow from the printer. And part of the allure is the clunky slowness of the printer and the rough analog quality of the print. That rendering of the mountains works very well for the medium!

Sorry for the self promo, this is just too relevant not to share: I created a generative art piece using receipt printers in which the printers "print themselves to death" over a tub of water. Video here: https://vimeo.com/336939272
Sounds like macOS would be right up your alley then.
What’s weird is that American higher courts are often quite good at eviscerating this kind of nonsense, usually by pointing out that such a “workaround” would make the constitutional amendment toothless, and it was not meant to be toothless, so the workaround is bunk.

That civil asset forfeiture has survived is simply because the courts are gutless about it.
(This may be an aside, but I want to add this)

While it is true that there is quite a difference in GDP per capita between different EU countries, please consider that Luxembourg has a very particular standing and as an outlier is not representative of the "wealthier" EU members. Most of those are in the range of 40k-50k, with only three above this:
114,370 Luxembourg
83,990 Ireland
57,140 Denmark

I do not know the law in the US for that, but how the manufacturer represent the product and its capabilities can often make him liable.

Unlike most others, Tesla has been very brazen to describe its system as self piloting rather than driving assists (but see the tons of asterisk at the bottom who clearly state that we're lying in the big letters!). Naming it Autopilot being one of the most obvious cases, autopilot means something and that's not what theirs does.

I know that things like EULA, NDA, and other forms of agreement like that are more easily enforceable there so maybe legally they won't be in trouble, but morally my personal belief is that they absolutely are.

I don't feel like that's a show-stopper. With some work, preferably in the first two lectures, you could train them out of the habit, perhaps by reframing it in a way that doesn't offend their habits e.g. ask them to say, "I have solved your challenge" rather than "this is wrong/a lie" which they have a revulsion to.

Some other brands have level 2 driver assistance technology as a standard feature. All of these can operate the steering wheel, brakes, and accelerator, and require the driver to intervene if they make mistakes.

The major difference is that Tesla pushes their system to operate in a wider variety of conditions, while still putting the same responsibility on the driver, and advertising the system using language that suggests that it is higher than level 2 functionality.

It should be illegal to advertise a SAE level 2 driver assistance feature as “self driving” (regardless of how much fine print you have); by definition, it never drives itself.
>my spouse worked for a hospital for three months before she was finally granted access to all of the systems she needed to perform her job safely

That's likely hospital IT, not the software itself. Those departments are understaffed, underpaid, on-call, and overworked.

However, an incapable IT department combined with mediocre software makes everything much worse.
It matters deeply. Neither Bitfinex nor any other exchanges are required to rescue Tether. Additionally, these other exchanges may not have the collateral to rescue Tether in a simultaneous market and crypto downturn.

This is a ticking bomb.
I don't see how you can count a illegal immigrant who can't legally hold a job or have a bank account as a free person either.
That doesn't necessitate a need for more efficient components? You're conflating demand with a need for better technology.
What proportion of PMs at health software companies have worked in a hospital?

Probably very few. But it really depends on the company.

The healthcare company I work for requires everyone from the CEO down to low-grade button pushers like myself to work with actual patients a few days a year.

It's not a lot, in terms of hours, but the exposure changes the way you think and do your work for the rest of the year. I know that each year after I've done my three days, I come back to the computer with a whole list of web site improvements in my head.

More on topic, even though we're in an "information age," it's important for healthcare organizations to work harder and harder to accommodate the fewer and fewer people without access to technology, simply because those are almost always the people who are poorer and in bad health, who need us the most.

Right now, there are 50,000,000 Americans without internet access of any sort. Not at home, not at work, not on a phone.
Aside from varying paces at which children learn, temperament makes a big difference too. I remember in elementary school, there was a subject I didn't like. Finally in 5th grade, I decided to try a different approach for one grading period. I did not participate in that subject. As in, when the teacher said to get out the materials, I instead got out a novel and read it. I turned in no work and did no homework.

When my report card came out, I was astonished to find I had a D (the lowest passing grade). My lesson for that quarter: it is impossible to fail at school (this lesson proved to generalize all the way through high school). At this point, I stopped putting any effort at school into something I didn't find personally gratifying. Most of my fellow cohort of "smart kids" were mystified by this; they would go through an existential crisis in the very rare event that they got a B+. Pretty much any of the straight-A students could have had almost-straight-As with 10% of the effort they put in to ensure they would never get a B+.

When I finally reached college, it became possible to fail, but still not particularly easy. I would skip evening exams to save myself the trouble of having to reschedule my weekly D&D session. I only studied when failing an exam would put me in danger of being kicked out of school (this happened maybe two or three times). I graduated with a C average.

I'm not sure what the moral of this story is other than to say that some kids will study no matter the difficulty of the material while other kids will not.
That 99% number you're quoting is made up. It's a value call. I think it's a reasonable position to give crypto a small chance of becoming something really big. If you're in the business of making long bets on the future, you want a piece of everything that fits that description. Including crypto. You don't know which bets will pay off, and it's nearly impossible to make an educated guess. It's simpler to just invest in everything that has that potential.

With leverage you can long or short more than the available supply of tethers. You are effectively creating fake tether with leverage, and then selling it (or buying it). This stuff also happens with equities, commodities, etc.

If there was no leverage, then yes, a 1:1 backed stablecoin would hold it's value.

EDIT: I mean the story here is far from clear, you also need to consider arbitrage bots that act between exchanges, etc. etc.
If I've been following this story correctly:

FDA catches conspiracy to recklessly endanger (as in quite possibly murder) a huge number of infants over a vast geographic area. Perpetrators caught then not given sufficient help bypassing FDA procedures nor a reduction in oversight as they resume production and filling out paperwork they previously falsified.

Other competitors apparently non-existent probably thanks to free market forces and this competitor who used illegal methods to have lower costs than legal operation. I.e. bad batch costs saved by falsifying paperwork.

FDA hesitant to allow import of these products as foreign production would be out of its jurisdiction and the lowest international bidder is presumably saving more money than the factory they just closed, somehow..

Can the FDA single out specific EU countries and criticize their regulators or would it face massive pressure to approve all countries the US has a cozy relationship with that have an infant formula?

I.e. the UK which has no regulatory history relevant to it's current restructuring as a non-EU Nation. Should thousands of US infants be among the first to iron out defects in a changing system for regulating potentially deadly products that is focused on being more cost effective for the UK?
If the global warming thing is as bad as some of the scarier predictions are predicting, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission might steal that title from them eventually.

I watched a doctor engage with a dozen patients and then head to a PC to take notes. Doctors pride themselves on being smart people, but I harbor some serious doubts about the accuracy of this approach and I can't help but shake the notion that the first patient they saw might not have all of the pertinent information recorded an hour or two after the exam.

We used to have a solution to this: Clipboards. But I can't remember the last time I saw a doctor in my org carrying a clipboard.

I should have chosen websites for my rant, but CoD has been on my mind this week due to the weird way you have to keep getting into a game every time and go through what seems like multiple home screens in a way that is either a bug, or just poorly thought out. Either way, it is a weird waste of time, and annoying when you're trying to play two back-to-back games.

> I hear a lot more often of all the people with destroyed lives by opiates

They get all the press & panic. The much, much, much larger group - they're the people who've become unable to be prescribed any pain meds (due to frightened Dr.s, 3 day state limits on Rx) and now live their lives in pain. They're pretty much off everyone's radar.

I have friends with chronic conditions (re:Rhum Arthritis) who responsibly took pain meds for years but now buy their pain relief off the street. Zero of their Dr.s are willing to Rx any opioids. Past that are the now commonplace stories of people being Rx Tylenol following surgery.

In the last year, I twice had to beg+negotiate for Tramadol. Once following surgery and once to tamper down severe knee pain so I could exercise. That latter one came with a "Don't Ask For This Again" vibe.
