I've always described myself as a person with zero ability to multitask. Always have been, always will be. Every time I cook, my wife about has a panic attack watching me fumble around, forgetting things, looking for things, oh god that's burning, etc.

Back on topic, I absolutely cannot listen to music with words when I code. I'll intermittently type lyrics instead of what I was intending to do. Anyone else cursed with such a thing?

If anyone cares, I actually like a lot of the vaporwave/outrun/whatever it's called now stuff when coding. Techno is a bit too jarring, and while I love classical, it either puts me to sleep or carries me away in thought.
IPv6 addresses aren't going to be any more static than what we have now. And even if they were, the fundamental problem of self-hosting is reliability, not getting a static IP address (which you can work around with dynamic DNS services easily). But most people just don't want to play server admin 24/7 and having a site down for days just because you went on vacation just isn't a good way to a run a site.

I think the only way to get back on track is if somebody comes up with a way to make publishing content on the net both trivial and robust. It needs to be a feature of your browser, not something you have to fiddle around with, with other tools.

IPFS kind of promises that and at least in theory would be a great tool to rebuild the Web, but the performance is downright miserable right now and doesn't seem to be improving either. So maybe that's a dead end.

Publishing aside, web browsers also need to get much better at discovering and keeping track of content. Bookmarks haven't improved in 30 years or even gotten worse, thus making it impossible to look for new content on small sites that don't update frequently. Having RSS support removed from all browsers was another big loss.
You've clearly been working with the right people. I constantly get screenshots of error messages (not even the text of the traceback so that I could copy it) with questions about what that means. It takes some training for people to be able to read tracebacks correctly, especially if they have no other programming experience.
> They just want to write software the same way they've been doing for the last 20 years.

Actually I just want to write software the same way I've been doing it for the last 40 years, but otherwise yeah.
In software at least, just landing a nice paying job seems to cause impostor syndrome, especially if it's one of your first. I guess getting a job offer is a sort of praise though, which fits your point.
I’m in the same space but I found the best option was just to not bother with anything past the default plugins. I type one simple vimrc from memory that is about ten lines and job done. Also I only use a fairly common subset of commands.

I found this was a good compromise because I jump around all sorts of systems and broken ass container hosts so any vi variant is home then.
All you need for progress is a sensible regulatory environment.

"Some of you may not be in compliance. We start you off at a fine of $1. For every month this continues, the fine doubles."

All you need for a sensible regulatory environment is a complete overhaul of how your society works, starting with a campaign finance & congressional staffing system that isn't built on implicit corruption.
Becoming bilingual is one thing. Completely extinguishing a language is a totally different matter. It is usually associated with migrating away from the geographic area of the language and/or physically losing speakers (old age, wars, genocides, etc.)

You can check the list at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_time_of_e...

To make an example and be blunt: I do not expect any European country official language to get extinct anytime during our lifespan unless that country gets destroyed, which obviously won't be a good thing.

As for brain implants, I won't hold my breath.

Thanks for poking me about the humidity. I looked it up and the the humidity at the hottest part of the day (103F, 39C) was 23% so you are correct that it was relatively low. That is likely the reason that the heat index was only 106F (41C). Most mornings we start off around 70% humidity and 80*F (27C). The humidity drops as the sun rises higher until it is only about 30% during the hottest part of the day and then it begins rising again as the sun falls out of the sky.

I live in N Texas but have been to Phoenix during July and found Flagstaff a lot more hospitable. I've lived and worked all over this state, most of the western US from the canyon country of the Four Corners area, to Oregon's mountains to Louisiana's swamps, and eastern Montana to Laredo. I spent all of my early years working outside from sunrise to sunset doing manual labor jobs before I went to college.

I lived in high humidity in Houston for 10 years and, like USA Today's weather summary page described it one time, it was oppressive in summer.

High humidity is a problem but humans live in extremely hot and humid areas and they live in extremely hot deserts and cold tundra as they have for thousands of years.

It isn't that I'm not seeing the problem raised by the article, it is that I think that people who spend a lot of their time outside during the year will have fewer issues with high heat and humidity than those who spend most of their time indoors during the temperature extremes.

We know that our environment will be hotter, that some places will be drier while others will be wetter, and so we should be trying to adapt ourselves to those conditions instead of fighting them. Use the skills that people who currently live in these environments employ to help us all adapt.

In addition, we should focus our knowledge and skills on changing our own lifestyles and expectations so that we can make the changes necessary in our developed societies to bring these climate changes under control as swiftly as possible.

Sorry if all this sound incoherent. I've been up all day and spent most of the day in the sun. Maybe I'm dehydrated and my brain is taking out the mental trash.
It seems to be about buffering heat energy for district heating in a CHP (combined heat and power) generation station, in presence of fast electricty market swings (think wind power). So would allow the CHP plant to ramp up generation quickly to supply electricity at a high hourly price, while buffering the produced heat peak to be more slowly drained to the district heating network.

Against this background it seems relatively cheap to build for the small size of plant in the picture, vs water tanks, and less risky (water entering the DH network has to be >100 C which means pressurization which in a big tank means a risk of a big boom).

It's true that water is pretty great for this also due to high heat capacity and that's why most existing heat batteries in cities are using water, that's why this is "novel" and "patented"...

I think it’s hard to answer your question. The development mentality of Python seems to have changed a little, going into 3.11, and you see sort of a shift in the priority of clean vs fast. I think you can assume that Python will continue to care about speed, but really, it sort of always has. Just like it’s going to continue to care about clean implementation. Then there is the part where Python will likely never become a “fast” language in the sense that C is a fast language, but the flip side of this is that Python was probably already fast enough for most uses. I tend to like to use the “we aren’t Netflix” or the “stackoverflow runs on IIS and always has” arguments when it comes to worrying about speed in anyone who isn’t Netflix, but that doesn’t really apply to Python since the backend of Instagram is django, and if Python can power Instagram then it’s probably fast enough for you, unless you’re already working with C/C++/Rust and know exactly why you are working with those.

I know I’m a bit more focused on the business side of things than a lot of techies here on HN, it’s a curse and a gift, but what I read the 10-60% speed increase as is money. The less resources you consume, the less money you burn. Which is really good news for Python in general, because it makes it more competitive to languages like C# for many implementations.

This comes from the perspective of someone who actually things running Typescript on your backend is a good idea because it lets you share developer resources easier so that the people who are really good at react can cover for the people who are really good at the backend and the other way around in smaller teams in non-software-engineering organisations.
How is it an array if it's not guaranteed to be contiguous?

PDF can embed lots of things and is quite hard to scan because there's some many ways to do things..

It is used for sending documents because its function is to have a fixed layout for printing (and look the same on every device), not because it's safer than other document formats.

If you really want a safe PDF, there's a function in Qubes OS that basically opens a PDF in a new VM, makes screenshots and then creates a new PDF from those. You'll lose advanced functions (e.g. forms) as the pages simply become pictures but that's a tradeoff you have to make.
Lucky you didn't get legionella. That is not up to spec, cold water lines should always be below 25°c. I have never seen such an installation, even in development countries it was done correctly.
If you feel you don't deserve your job then that is impostor syndrome, yeah.
Smartphones contain lots of useful components for celestial navigation such as a gyroscope to measure angles and multiple ways to establish the current time accurately. There are apps that can attempt this such as "CamSextant" but ironically, the big challenge is actually the camera which is wide angle and hard to use for precise observations.

There are a few projects which marry cheap zoom lenses with smartphones (e.g.
https://www.instructables.com/ISextant-Project/) to overcome this.

You may also be interested in this app which compares GPS positioning with sextant altitude allowing you easily detect errors with either:

Layout managers handle window resizing, which heavily overlap. Started using them in the 90s.
Google got in trouble for doing tracking of kids for ad purposes on YouTube. Not tracking kids views is important to their regulatory compliance. Once of the easiest ways to do that is to have "kids" videos where the viewers are presumed to be children.

These videos will make less money (at least, I've been repeated told less tracking is less ad money), so Google has to worry about people mislabeling their content to get better ROI.
It’s not about sabotage. Just that there’s no incentive to invent a new generation of dental hygiene products.
It's true, but you get inflation or exchange rate devaluations as a side effect.
Why do you think it underestimated the problem? I am fairly sure it was a deliberately small core with an extensible (and queryable!) protocol model, exactly to be able to later develop more and more features.

There is no way to ship a full X11 replacement in one go, especially not in a bazaar-style platform.
Last year I nerded out on model accuracy and it was great fun. I would love to do this more at work but unless I fall into it in an existing role I usually am not considered for data science roles because I don't have 7 Ph.Ds. Simple accuracy, R2 for classification, ROC curves, calibration, Brier Skill scores. Good times.

The best book I found at the time was Kuhn & Johnson. If anyone can recommend a better book I'd love to hear it? (Examples in R or Python, it doesn't matter.)
Appreciate you writing up a more terse version. Tangentially, I fed the article into GPT-3, then led with the prompt:

> Q: Was the above article written by a bot? Explain your reasoning.

It's response was:

> A: It is difficult to say for certain whether or not the above article was written by a bot, but there are several clues that suggest it may be the case. First, the article seems to lack a clear purpose or focus, instead meandering from topic to topic without really saying anything significant. Second, the writing is often awkward or stilted, as if it has been translated from another language. Finally, the article ends abruptly and without resolution, as if the author ran out of ideas or simply gave up. Taken together, these factors suggest that the article may have been written by a bot, or at least by someone who is not a skilled writer.

I thought this was a pretty humorous take.

Or the ex-hippies knew very well that Woodstock is just a stage (pun intended) and didn't take it that seriously.

I mean, almost all prominent tech companies had those people at one stage or another. Nothing forbade them from listening to the Beatles in their Buicks or counting fat stacks to the sounds of Yellow Submarine.

Anyway brushing your teeth doesn't sterilize your mouth or even disrupt your mouth flora that much.

But brushing and flossing does do many things. It helps your spit/toothpaste to remineralize your teeth repairing microscopic damage, removes leftover buts of food, and generally makes your mouth noticeably less hospitable to bacteria alongside reducing biofilms.

As soon as you stop bushing things start getting worse, but that's why it's a daily activity.
On the other hand, they paid for full self driving. What's the point of full self driving if it's revoked as soon as you rely on it?
The real answer is probably somewhere in the middle. Using ubiquitous language from DDD would be a godsend to bridge the gap of understanding between tech and business, but every single time I’ve pitched it to the business side they have absolutely balked, which makes me suspicious of their motives.
You’d be surprised but dentists care about making money to provide for the family. Just as most of us who work. They don’t sabotage anything, there’s no master plan. They just come in, see your cavity, make a 300$ filling or 1000$ crown. Rinse and repeat. Then they clock out and go home.

So who’s actually going to actively work on creating new groundbreaking dental products? What would the incentive be?

That sounds like way too much. Individual metering can't explain such a huge difference but I do wonder if they use that?
It isn't that System Apps actively bypass the VPN tunnel, but they can if they want to, on-demand [0]. That is, System Apps retain the ability to bind to any network interface. Whether they do so, is anyone's guess.

For installed apps, there's no such respite, iff one enables 'Block connections without VPN' (the VPN lockdown mode) on Android 10+ (but NetGuard doesn't support it). This means in the times when NetGuard crashes or restarts (which it does on network changes, for example, or even on screen-off/screen-on, from what I recall), there's a chance the traffic flows through underlying interfaces rather than the tunnel (because the tunnel simply doesn't exist in the interim).

Datura (ebpf based) on CalyxOS and AfWall+ on any rooted Android can block out everything it pleases, though.

I don't mean to downplay NetGuard, because the codebase has evolved in response to years of addressing flaky networks, flawed apps, buggy Android forks. Marcel, the lead developer, has put his life's work into it and gave it away for free. The app I co-develop is, in fact, inspired from his efforts.

> short sellers pushing false narratives have drummed up a lot of hate

I haven't really seen evidence of false narratives. They definately push negative news.

> Tesla sometimes has to “take the hit” as Elon put it.

Wait, you dismiss what short sellers say because of economic incentives but don't consider that Elon Musk could be putting out a false narrative? Because his entire personal net worth wouldn't collapse to zero if Tesla tanks?

At any rate, a jury trial is as good as you can get to determine truth. After all, highly paid people on both sides present as powerful an argument as they can to twelve disinterested people. How better to figure out what's true?

A few routine billing concepts that skews line item amounts in raw claim dumps or price lists derived from claim dumps:

- CPT modifiers (The service or procedure has both professional and technical components OR More than one provider performed the service or procedure.
More than one location was involved OR A service or procedure was increased or reduced in comparison to what the code typically requires etc.,)

- Bundling (1 line item as opposed to 2 or 3 when the second and third procedures are an outcome of the first. eg: bone-xray + procedure(s) to fix the broken bone detected through the x-ray)

- Rendering provider vs. Billing provider (Rendering provider is the physician or provider that provided the service and billing provider could be the hospital/clinic/lab/ambulatory/billing company etc.,)

But here's the kicker. Medicare is the largest payer in the US and it already has a Fee-for-service pricing schedule. You can be sure that it covers all states, locality-wise price adjustments, hospital density factors in the price schedule and every possible procedure billing scenario. So, one just needs to compare (within a ZIP code or County or other geographic area) the hospitals prices against this to find anomalous pricing issues.
After ~9 years in California, I moved from San Francisco to Venice, Italy (Venezia) in late 2020. (I am originally from Italy).

Venice is an amazing city, and it's not as expensive as people think, if you plan to stay long term.

When the Covid-19 situation got better in early 2022, TONS of tourists came back, and Venice is now more crowded than it was before the pandemic.

Residents (of the historical city center, or the "main" Venice), down to a total of about 50,000 (from a peak of ~175,000 [0]), are really angry at the overcrowding and are looking for solutions.

In certain weekends this year, the number of visitors reached 130,000 per day, which is about twice as much as the city can support without deterioration of city life and services.

Entry tickets, if handled properly, could be a great way to fix the issue.

The current solution has some flaws, and I don't believe that it will solve the issue properly. (overnight visitors don't pay; ferry rides are not integrated in the ticket; etc).

I believe that the right structure should include a combination of:

1) expensive tickets (€50 per day per person) that allow you to come regardless of any other limitation.

2) advance purchase tickets (€5 per day per person)

3) progressive tickets (starting at €5 per day per person, but going as high as €25 when the number of visitors in a given day approaches 60,000).

Also, the parking system (Tronchetto and Piazzale Roma), owned by private companies, should introduce a similar progressive ticket, but the extra income should go to the municipality, not to the private company.

The extra money earned this way should go towards improving the logistics of the city, easing the pressure that tourism puts on the residents.

The BIS is just a counterparty to facilitate payments between nations. It doesn't exert influence in international affairs (except really via the BCBS [1] which sets the Basel capital accords defining how much capital banks have to hold and therefore does have a lot of influence behind the scenes on how banks operate anyway). When the US says it's going to give $100m in aid to some country or one country pays back a debt to another country, there needs to be someone to process the payment, and that someone is the BIS.

Source: friend used to work in the BIS and I've also been involved in banking off and on for a long time, including dealing with various international banking regulators.

Some fun BIS facts:

1) They process payments via regular SWIFT[2] messages. So the $100m in aid comes as a message just the same as if you transfer $5 from one bank account to another. It has an IBAN number with a regular bank account, so if you changed that to your own account details and the message was processed suddenly $100m would appear in your checking account instead of going fund an aid programme for some government in Africa or whatnot.

2) The number of payments they process is very low (>100 per day max and usually in the low tens of messages) so every payment message is checked by hand by several independent people as well as having automated checks. Partly to avoid the risk of funds getting sent to the wrong places etc.

3) My friend worked there in the 90s and said that even back then they had extremely strong security with multifactor biometrics on every entry to the premises. You got in via an entrance where you had to step into a cylander which would only unlock after it had taken multiple photos including an iris scan
