You get paid what you can negotiate, not what you deserve.

Any politician that would propose serious enough cuts to physicians pay would suddenly find that their own GP has dropped him, and his oncologist forgot how treat the politician’s cancer. Sounds extreme? Happened several times in the US.

If they’d succeeded, you’d just have waves of immigration to richer countries that can pay higher, called brain drain. The US has the financial resources to attract the best talent. Not just salaries, but resources mean you get to work on things you find interesting, and ignore things you don’t.

Regarding “best”. I never said all US physicians are “best”.

What I said was, that because of higher pay, the best talent can be appropriately rewarded in the US.

How many public single payer systems can afford a physician that bills $10 million per year? More common than you think in the US.

They are most certainly outliers, and not the average physicians.

The issue is that due to super-specialization game that is medicine, anyone sufficiently experienced is going to be an outlier. Once it comes to something more involved than simple fracture, you want someone who does nothing but works on the specific issue you have, and preferably nothing else.

Real example: triple board certified (max fax, ent, trauma) surgeon Kasey Li in the US bills something like 100k per operation. Top talent from Hollywood and top Silicon Valley execs go to him. you’ve seen his work multiple times on several personalities.

There is literally not a single surgeon in Australia that is equally as well trained and as experienced as Li. He only works in one area and one issue only.

He pioneered an entire new field, changed numerous lives, including some execs that frequent this board, lol.

Who are you to decide how much he charges? You not even qualified to assess any his work to begin with, maybe 5-10 people in the world are.
It's not total bullshit - compare Imatinib on GoodRX ($787) vs CostPlus ($14) for 30 tablets. What the company is doing is cutting out the (arbitrary) pharmacy markup. They take a 15% cut and are TRANSPARENT about their price (again, novel in the drug industry). If you followed their company, you'd also notice they have plans to further lower the margin by manufacturing their own drugs, but these things take time.

Or, alternatively, to be able to re-use the entire standard library for your boxed values (which is not possible in Java, FAFAIK):

3b. Take a plain-valued function and lift it to accept boxed values:

Func<Async<String>> asyncJoin = Func.lift<Async>(String.join);

It would maybe make more sense if it was a foundry offering their services to numerous fabless companies. Having an advanced one in the EU would be beneficial regardless of where the headquarters of the foundry is. But this one is just going to produce Intel chips as I understand, so basically it's just workplaces, and not a huge lot of them compared to the investment made.

We can also dump oil into the drain instead of properly disposing of it.

We can now burn our trash instead of wasting money paying for waste services.

Contractors can now disregard any international building codes and get things done CHEAP!

You can now buy food products with toxic crap in it.

You can now be denied health coverage based on your DNA and any pre-existing conditions.

If you are using a wheelchair businesses will no longer need to provide access.

Google's Russian Empire Faces an Uncertain Future
> After a period of time, your tech team is unable to ship fast enough and sometimes even your basic hygiene factors like uptime are suffering. “Refactoring” becomes a rallying cry instead of shipped.

This hits close to home. Every death spiral I’ve seen has had a phase where “refactoring” seemingly becomes the primary activity of the team.

Some of this is refactoring is necessary: When inexperienced engineers write the wrong structure at first and need to correct it. However, much of it is arguably unnecessary: Engineers “refactoring” code to make the system more their own creation than someone else’s work, or simply rewriting old code because it’s easier to revisit familiar old code with the benefit of hindsight than it is to write new code with new challenges.

I once inherited a failing project with a team of engineers 3-4 turnovers removed from the original authors. They were burnt out from being busy all the time, but they couldn’t actually point to any new features or even improvements they had shipped recently. It was all just “refactoring” to complete an architecture change that had been started by previous engineers who left. At that point, nobody who remained actually knew why the giant refactor was started or what benefit it was supposed to bring. They were just “refactoring” old code to match a new style that a departed lead has preferred. Madness.
Neuroscientists identify role of basolateral amygdala neurons
I get where you're coming from, but at the same time, we have to KNOW things before we can continue to theorize about new things. If you keep theorizing on things that turn out to not be true, then it's just a waste of everyone's time. Find things that are true, theorize on the next step, test, prove/disprove, lather, rinse, repeat.

Just coming up with stuff and disproving it isn't always "learning a lot", it's just showing how bad we are at logically thinking about the next step.
1g isn't all that limiting. Under 1g acceleration you'll reach lightspeed in about a year, at which point you can't go any faster. A year to reach the top speed of the universe isn't so bad.

The truly limiting factor is that we don't have engines that can produce 1g for a sustained period. We can't carry and propel enough reaction mass and reactionless drives only exist in science fiction.

I like it a lot. Currently I can charge my work laptop, my personal laptop, my phone and my earbuds with an USB-C charger. If USB-C was standarized I could also charge my e-reader (micro usb) and my headphones (micro usb). That's going from 4/6 devices charged by one charger to 6/6, or going from two chargers that I have to carry around to one. Nothing life changing but it sure improves my quality of life. It also means I won't have to pay for a charger for new devices, which will possibly compensate the higher cost of USB-C.
When the 10x developer topic comes up, I think about people like Joe Armstrong or Peter Norvig.

Better & 8x Cheaper than AWS

Having "Better" on the title of your landing page probably isn't the best idea. This is such a subjective territory that it's very difficult to say that one voice sounds better than another unless you have a blind poll with at least a few hundred people claiming they preferred your product over AWS.

It doesn't matter if you can argue its better, it only matters if you can show that the vast majority of your target demographic prefers your product over AWS, which I couldn't find any evidence of.
Once a proof-of-concept exists, scaling it up is conceivable. Computers used to have kilobytes of RAM, now some have terabytes. Digital cameras used to have sub-megapixel resolution, now some are measured in gigapixels.
It's reasons like this that I don't necessarily see LHC or whatever rev of it as a problem per se. If the technologies developed to get there pay back the cost of the collider then it could end up being a very expensive toy and I wouldn't care. To me it's about the journey and getting there, because for big science in many case the real science is not the tool produced at the end but the science and engineering that has to go into making that tool.

Thus the question I have to the scientists pushing for a new LHC is: "What would we get from the journey?" If they truly believe in the project they'll have a dozen technologies that need to be developed to make their project happen, all of which have practical applications beyond their experiment. If they don't they'll just be pushing for "same but larger" which is IMO a waste of resources. Because why shouldn't we be investing in the technology to do "Same but smaller" in that case so we can do more with less?

> I throw away a higher volume of stuff in one or two average days than all the wall warts and phone cables I've ever owned probably add up to.

I would think ‘mass’ is a better metric to use than ‘volume’. Also, it’s not only the waste, but also the work needed to make it, and I would guess that’s a lot harder for electric chargers than for, say, the plastic bags that take up the bulk of the volume of trash.

Also, “Others are worse” isn’t a strong argument. Some of the large contributors to trash may not be completely unavoidable (example: plastic packaging). Because of that, it’s not possible to significantly reduce the amount of waste by making a few cuts on the largest contributors of trash. You have to do it by making lots of small cuts. This is one of them, and also a relatively easy gain.
That's not exactly what I meant. My post above wasn't that well phrased.

The problem is that if you do all those things on an iPad, you don't own your data. It belongs to whatever walled garden you're working in. Uninstall the app and your data is gone. Stop renting cloud and your data is gone. The company running the app goes bankrupt and your data might be gone.

This is the fundamental difference I see between "mobile" and "desktop" ecosystems. Mobile is designed from the ground up to place you into a much more subservient relationship to vendors. I've described the mobile ecosystem as "feudal computing."

>” What ends up happening is what's required expands.”

I’ve found that abstraction doesn’t scale with Business Logic. Abstraction is good, absolutely, but the sheer number of strange edge cases, special processing rules, and “the client refuses to change their process whatsoever” only seems to increase.

I sense this is why programs keep growing in scope despite all the wonderful Dev-tools, abstractions, and platforms we now have.
Of all the post-Standard Model theories in existence, string theory has the best publicists and has (to a degree) sucked up all of the air out of competing theories, so that the lack of competing theories is less due to string theory being better and more due to being unable to get funding to work on competing theories.

As far as I understand it, string theory has yet to provide a working model of quantum gravity despite focused work on it for ~30 years. That's not exactly a ringing endorsement.
But it doesn't only have factories in the Netherlands and is as much controlled by a single "entity" as Intel is (e.g. the US doesn't control Intel).

People across the political spectrum got upset at the government. I remember being swept up at the time in the general nerd rage against the NSA. I particularly remember watching left-wing media about it from creators that were, around that time, partly sponsored by Russia's propaganda arm RT, though whether RT specifically sponsored pro-Snowden content from those creators I don't know.

However the actual political results were mostly favorable to Republicans. Trump himself popularized the term "deep state" and criticizing it was a key part of his administration's PR.

Russia benefited, not only by getting Republicans in power, but also by embarrassing and casting doubt on U.S. intelligence, a year before Russia's invasion of Crimea. Now in the current Ukraine war it's obvious how vital NATO intelligence is to resisting Russian aggression.

I don't think much actually changed at the NSA or any other agency. Trump didn't actually care about the ethics, he just thought it was some huge, personal injustice that he couldn't command everyone in the executive branch the way he could in his businesses. He didn't even pardon Snowden.

So overall the only changes were political and it all worked out great for Russia. Maybe Russia didn't plan it but they sure benefited from it, with the public and the media doing the heavy lifting. Something to keep in mind the next time some theoretically nonpartisan government scandal appears.
Not so much, really. See https://forum.grin.mw/t/scalability-vs-privacy-chart for a comparison of privacy levels (as well as tradeoff with scalability) across various blockchains.
Absolutely. Almost every org treats engineers as an expendable resource. They do this because they fear the alternative, which requires treating people with respect, because those people are valuable to your organization.
Increasing trade with Russia is a good strategy. No need to follow America to WW3 or a new cold war.

I burned out bad last year and quit during the summer. As soon as I gave notice, everything became better. I spent the past year learning daytrading (not going well) and working on side projects (also not going well), yet it's not causing me the stress I felt on the job. But I'm about to start applying and trying to find work again. I fear I'm no longer cut out for software dev anymore. I need to find an easy laid-back job where I don't need to be a "leader". It was being a leader that burned me out. I don't want to decide on overall direction or use bleeding edge tech or be responsible for a project. I just want to work on well-defined CRUD.
>fancy graph

Not sure I'd call it "fancy."

I've watched corporations chasing out high performers for decades, yet still manage to achieve their goals. They don't excel, and often end up being "part of the road," as Stuart Brand might say, but they never regret chasing out talent, and also never regret chasing talent away at the interview stage.

I know that I nursed my butthurt, with a secret "they'll regret not hiring me!" thought, for a couple of years, and realized that it didn't matter one whit. One or two of the places actually ended up going belly-up, and I like to flatter myself into thinking I could have "saved them" (SPOILER: No, I wouldn't have. They just would have sidelined me, and gone over the cliff anyway, like my previous employer).

Human nature can be very disappointing, sometimes.
I would also bet that getting the game to perform the exact same series of allocations would be an intractable problem to solve. I don't think Doom 3 has a benchmark mode; the author just recorded themselves loading the game, loading a level, doing a bit of gameplay, etc.
Good advice blogs talk about how to fix problems and turn the ship around.

Bad advice blogs just write vaguely relatable complaints that are generic enough to get a wide audience to empathize from their past experience. The reader is supposed to imagine themselves as the superior engineers in the story (the heroes) and imagine the people the bad engineers and business people as the villains. Stoking the reader’s ego is a classic engagement farming technique.

That seems like state of majority of countries, until Russia devolved back to its soviet state. That relationship is quite easily possible inside NATO, you don't worry about Russian tanks. Which is why Finland is seeking NATO membership - so that they can do politics without worrying about pleasing Russia.
If Intel’s new EU fabs operate under the TSMC foundry model, is that not a good thing for the EU? Let’s say I’m a smaller company in France looking to get a chip made on a bleeding edge node. I don’t have existing contacts in Taiwan. Surely I just go next door to Intel, right? If Global Foundries couldn’t pull off the leap to 7nm even with ASML next door, who do you suggest is capable of doing so other than Intel, Samsung, and TSMC, and is EU based?

I have some confidence that the EU would set favourable terms for given the level of investment.

I'm curious about and interested in janet, definitely keeping an eye on it. The author's last language, fennel, is very very impressive to me as a project.

Its strict adherence to lua's runtime semantics repulses lisp nerds like me at first. But after actually using it in some heavy lua projects, it's incredible how clearly the author understood the practical day-to-day problems with lua and air-dropped in a solution to only and exactly those. It doesn't introduce any extra complexity, perf, or debugging concerns; it runs on any version of lua with no compromises. There are endless lisp purity quagmires to get bogged down in and it completely avoids every single one of them. From a language design standpoint I really think it's an incredible achievement.

I've never used janet and don't particularly have a reason to right now. But who knows maybe I'll find an excuse soon.
