A great point well made.

And I think it’s especially important to keep in mind that we have a generational divide among experts even now, that introduces a bias to the particular expertise that gets shared.

Not only have many deeply experienced, talented experts naturally shifted their surplus attention to other life responsibilities like families, health issues, etc — but many younger experts grew up with a social media fluency that makes engaging online more natural to them.

So even without evaluating what’s said by each, you inevitably see a lot more of the opinions of these younger experts and less from the old greybeards with differently informed perspectives.
Yep, I get that. I did give two examples, but no supporting evidence. In the case of Menlo Park being owned by the Presbyterian Church, I'm not sure how I would support that short of pulling up dozens of Menlo Park property records. I don't know of any journalism about this.

With regards to the LDS church, this is well-known and well-documented. Here's just one easily-found link:

In my defence, I elaborated in parentheses immediately after saying it. It's _very_ centralised and online only. There's no concept of any local work/branches so all prototypes are checked in (or in my experience people manually shelve things and juggle shelves around).

Perforce's branches are a disaster and should have been deprecated years ago and replaced with streams a decade ago. Branches are _incredibly_ slow, they're straight up copies, and they are pretty much isolated from each other. Streams are an improvement, but still are very primitive compared to git's branches - the change tracking across streams is poor, and the enforced hierarchy has too many escape hatches that can make a gigantic mess. Streams are loosely enforced with views which can't be customised per workspace, a major regression from branches. In practice, every team I've worked on has had a "convert merge to edit" style action to fix perforce's messed up idea of a merge. Stream switching is also dog slow (on my last project, it was quicker to delete the 150GB workspace, and re-sync than have perforce actually figure out what had changed).

Perforce is eye wateringly expensive, and very difficult to license - licenses are 4 figures per seat per year for medium sized businesses (and close to 4 figures for small companies), and maintaining a p4 server is genuine work. The hosted offerings of perforce (assembla only - https://get.assembla.com/pricing/) are very lackluster, and very limited (no triggers unless you pay the "contact us" pricing).

My experience in large teams was that running perforce at scale involves not using some/many of the features, and that actually keeping it running well pretty much requires an active support contract from perforce.

All that said, P4V is by far the best GUI client to any VCS, it _handles_ bianry files, and p4 sync's performance makes git clone feel like you're working on a 56k modem. It's just when you want to do anything other than submit or sync, the wheels fall off the track.

The original article title was a bit click-baity so I put something more appropriate.

I work at the company (Eyenuk) referenced in this article, and have worked with some of the article contributors. I wanted to share because it captures many of the lessons we (us at Eyenuk and our early customers/partners) have learned about the challenges of getting a medical AI product out into the real world.
Release milestones don't tend to make much difference in HN threads. Instead, what we get each time is a discussion of the project as a whole (as you can clearly see in the current thread.) Nothing wrong with that!—it's natural—it just means that different releases of the same product aren't really different stories from an HN thread perspective. From the perspective of the project developers, of course it's a major thing.

I wrote a longer explanation about this if anyone wants more: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23071428

Emergency rooms at hospitals that accept Medicare are not allowed to deny care under EMTALA.

Hospitals that do not accept Medicare can run a 24 hour, high level of service department and deny care all they want.

There's no requirement to provide non-stabilizing care.

This is a borderline bad faith argument because the US stands alone as pretty much the only developed nation without universal health care [1] while simultaneously throwing our hands up in the air saying there's nothing we can do.

And that's the problem.

Insulin as just one example is spectacularly expensive in the US [2] for absolutely no good reason and the only way this is allowed to happen is that the Federal government has been successfully lobbied to not negotiate pricing AND to disallow the importation of the exact same medication from other countries.

The policies are designed to find errors in the client's favor, that's manifestly clear.

Penalties need to be attached to misbilling; it needs to be made effectively illegal and allow others to help collect the penalties, then an industry of scummy lawyers will appear to help customers reduce their bills at the expense of the hospitals.

And they'd deserve it.
> It's that light from the aircraft travels faster than sound.

For all practical purposes we can say the light reaches the observer instantly, whereas the sound takes some (significant by comparison) amount of time. Over such short distances, and when comparing it to something that is so much slower (299,792,458 m/s vs 343 m/s, 874 thousand times faster), there is no point in measuring the infinitesimal time it takes light to travel the distance from the plane to the observer.

For the general case presented in the article, at the average cruising altitude and speed mentioned within it, the conclusion is that it takes sound from the plane so much longer to reach the observer than the instantaneous light from the plane, that the actual plane itself has traveled another 2.1km in that time. You are (instantly) seeing the current position of the plane but hearing the sound it emitted 2.1km ago.
In the early 90s housing was much cheaper, so were cars and everything else.

I would love to see some evidence that US policy has caused the skyrocketing medical bills.

US already spends THE MOST tax money on healthcare even though it doesn't offer healthcare like ALL the other 1st world nations.

But he was harmed: he was allegedly fired for reporting religious discrimination.

He may not have been harmed by the cult members, but he was (again, allegedly) harmed by the culture created by this cult. "I learned of someone being discriminated due to their religious beliefs (or lack of), I reported it and the company fired me" makes a good case for the company supporting and/or engaging in religious discrimination.

I'm not saying the author will win - it is entirely possible, like you say, that he was fired for being disruptive or other hundred valid reasons. But I do think the author raises at least a good initial argument.
Unless it is made into a regulatory compliance concern, they don't want to hear about it.
The big thing to avoid is exercising at a high price, paying all your taxes, then watching the shares plummet the next year, and eventually selling at a loss and winding up with only the maximum carryover cap gains loss every year after that.

So the worst outcome is that your strike is $1.28 you exercise at $3.13 (costing you $80k + $40k in taxes or whatever -- it gets worse the better the stock is doing, which is one of many reasons why early exercise of options is risky but good) but you're stuck in a holding period while you go public, then when you exit that period you're at $0.50 or something like that, and you've passed over into a new tax year, and you have no cap gains to offset the losses on the stock.

This happened to a lot of employees at dot com companies in the 2001 collapse.
I know how hard ET is and I really feel for you. My dad’s ET started getting worse at around 40 and when he reached 65 it got to the point where he couldn’t eat without much difficulty, couldn’t write a simple note, use his phone to text, and many things we take for granted and it stressed him out to the point where he started to isolate; he lost motivation completely. It broke my heart and in 2018 I decided to call and email pretty much every doctor around the world who knew anything about ET and after many emails and phone calls I found a surgeon in South Korea and Florida who agreed to see him. A few months later they performed a non-invasive brain operation that totally cured the ET in his dominant hand (they couldn’t do both). It saved his life.
Last time I proposed this same thing in a blog comment section (Lawyers, Guns, and Money) a couple of people said "but filibuster" and the rest went straight to an absolute firehose of middle-school-level verbal abuse. I've had similar reactions from other self-proclaimed progressives. Nonetheless I stand by the idea. These big omnibus bills give every single opponent (and some "mavericks" a.k.a. turncoats in one's own party) their very own personal reason to vote against it without political consequence. A more focused bill at least has a slight chance of prying loose a few around the edges, if only because they know that their "no" vote will be used effectively against them in the next election cycle with no room for excuses. When your legislative success rate (not counting bills to name post offices) is close to zero already, might as well try something different.
Very cool! Interesting to hear how else it can play out. Fast and to the point like that. Terrific.
You speak of them as if they were a person. Microsoft is not a person, so they indeed do not have the same rights as people do. Specifically, they can be called what they are with a far lower threshold than people, especially with the reputation they have accumulated over the decades.
I stopped being full stack for this reason. It's too much effort to keep up with the entire stack and companies don't compensate great full stack devs more than great front end or back end devs. I think it's just a marketing ploy to get unassuming youngsters to spend more time at work being full stack so they can try to pay one person to do two jobs.

I’ve made much less than 115k for most of my working life and I never had such shitty coverage. I don’t agree that having twins or whatever should be 80k, don’t get me wrong. But if you’re in healthcare and make enough to have a decent plan and choose not to, and on top of that you decide to have kid/s, you know what you’re getting into.

At 38k a year I had a max out of pocket of 7k. It can be done.

It’s as if I opened a web server in my home with all the ports open, a password that is “changeme” and then complained that someone else should’ve been protecting me.

I honestly don't think there's any kind of straight line from the 6809 to the 68000. They share little in common other than the '68' prefix and coming from the same company and being big endian. The instruction sets are very different. Designed by different teams. The peripheral chip set and bus management was different too.

The 68k shares more with 1970s minicomputers especially the PDP-11 and/or VAX architectures than any MPU that preceded it.
For all this remember that France has about a third of the insolation of California or Arizona per year, or maybe half at best in some places.

>>[Scalpers] are effectively rent seeking parasites that distort the market and make things worst for regular people.>>
I'm trying to understand this sentiment from a totally unsentimental, mechanical view of economics. I've always had a problem with the negative sentiment towards what people refer to as "price gouging" and it strikes me that scalping is similar.

>>if you buy up bulk tickets to flip them for profit that is scummy behavior.>>
For me to relate to this, the "buy up bulk" part would have to be qualified. Does that mean buying so many that the market is cornered - hence forming a monopoly? If that's the case yes - I can ethically map monopolies and anti-competitive behavior to "scummy behavior".

But if, for whatever reason, I have some statistically non-significant amount of tickets - say 10 or 15 for a 50k-100k stadium event - and standing on the sidewalk outside, there is plenty of demand for those tickets at say double the original price, it's not clear to me how that is ethically problematic any more than the buying any other asset that you expect to appreciate.

But maybe what I'm describing does not fit the definition of "scalping"?
>but 3-times the training as a police officer, really?

This is a crummy comparison, because the problem isn't that barbers get too much training (maybe they do) but that police officers get very little training.

No, they don't. At least nothing IDE specific. Most languages come with a way to configure dependencies and build configuration independently from IDEs. If your IDE is incapable of picking those up, your IDE is crap. If you want to keep your developers from having to muck about with IDE settings, put those settings into an independent repo. If your IDE is incapable of picking up configuration from a specific directory, again, your IDE is crap.

Does your CI read IDE settings or language specific settings? If you're depending on IDE specific settings in your pipeline, your entire pipeline is brittle.

So, no "sufficiently complex project" should need any IDE specific config in the project repo.

I can't even see what the reason for making an LSP implementation proprietary would be other than lock-in.

Evangelicism has been strong since the founding, but it is more brazenly political now than it has been historically. There is actually a legal requirement for churches to stay out of politics in order to maintain their tax-exempt status. The enforcement of that has gotten more lax over the last few decades.

With regards to information about entanglements between religion and business, start with the LDS church, whose business entanglements are well documented.

But the journalism about the more general problem is is not very comprehensive, probably because it is a very fraught topic.
Yea, I have to say, to me, this is cool. Glad to see this sort of history being preserved.
As I was writing my comment, I think maybe I should start with DSL, but this isn't conclusive. Spark, Scalding, LINQ, RxJava, even Slick are examples of the types of DSLs I'd like to understand how to construct. They're essentially compilers.

Looking at the code for these technologies it's incredible how complex it is to implement the nice DSL that they expose. How much of that is accidental complexity?
I want to love Web Components but requiring JS feels like a mistake. Without SSR support (which the article mentions) they feel like a major step backward, especially with the rise of react server components / vue 3 ssr / remix / etc.

Otherwise this is a great article and one of few resources for integrating web components with existing frameworks.
Webview2 is the name of the Windows component that go-webview2 wraps. It’s a little bit confusing, because go-webview2 also happens to export an interface compatible with webview/webview, which is another library (although not Go-specific.)

edit: if you’re wondering why Webview2 is webview2, the reason for that is because Webview2 is based off of Chromium Edge and webview from WinRT is based off of MSHTML Edge. And if you are wondering why not support that, I considered it, but it’s somewhat harder to do, because while Webview2 is mostly pure COM interfaces, WinRT Webview uses… WinRT. Which is a bit more complicated. Avoiding CGo for that would probably involve worse blackmagic, possibly requiring some assembler to mimic what’s going on in WinRT.

You didn't even explore any of the options for different types of "undo" operations that could be possible in contracts. You seemed to simply assume recreating the exact same situation that exists in traditional finance and responded based on that.

There are several other ways of doing it that I can think of, all with their own pros and cons. There are even a couple that have already been applied in crypto that I can think of and I'm sure many that I'm not aware of.

And why would you assume I even meant "reimplement traditional chargebacks as they are today"? My recommendation: Hold off on forming strong opinions too early in the process of learning about something.
