Homework is what someone overworked would come up with to force everyone, wether they need it or not, to put X amount of time repeating and practicing Y.

I think it's a frustrating experience overall and we should be looking at giving students the entire curriculum from elementary to masters degree upfront and letting them work up from it at their rythm.

As incentive students should be provided X years of access to teachers free of charge, and if you finish early pocket the difference. If you finish late you have to pay the difference.
That is a very elegant work around. {They never convey the particles while hot, only after they've given up their heat, or before they get heated and then fall into hot storage}

I'd be happy with 54% round trip efficiency, it's way better than losing renewable power by not being able to store it.
That's neat! One thing that's not immediately obvious to me: why does the publisher make that deal with the bookseller? Since it's in the seller's best interest to sell as many copies as possible anyway, why not let them eat the cost of ordering too many? I suppose the answer is simply to help publishers entice sellers; to give sellers a guarantee that helps them avoid that worry. Still, I wouldn't have predicted it.

> The right thing to do would be to redesign the system from the bottom up to actually be secure in the face of vulnerabilities

i understand the impulse to immediately question if this might solve security, but it just won’t. there are some classes of known vulnerabilities which it may mitigate, but at best it would be a temporary security solution.

security is hard.

we also need to remember that we would, with almost 100% certainty reintroduce long forgotten about mitigations that someone silently did years ago but they didn’t make a big deal over. or even mitigations which were made a big deal of, but they were a decade ago therefor long forgotten about.

we have a tendency to think those who built complex systems before us were unenlightened, or lazy, or primitive. this often really isn’t the case.

anyone who has worked on large projects will inevitably learn the hard way that scale adds incredible fractal depths of complexities that we can’t dream of until it slaps us in the face. so we put out that fire, do not-nearly-enough-documenting on why or what caused it so future people might avoid the same mistake, and then we continue running up the hill.

security is hard.

and of course sometimes a from-scratch-rebuild might make sense but we’d be looking at years and years of relearning mistakes which were previously learned and corrected for.

security is hard.

Gotta love employees leaking internal information. Not that any software development projects were ever late... Haven't heard about laying off 50 people anywhere else but compared to hiring 2000+ last year it seems not unheard of.

Other companies split their stock too.

I think there's no denial that we're in a different economic situation than we were a year or so ago - it's all about how you deal with it
In contrast, I take a very low opinion of the creation of the space force. Normally the creation of a new division of the military has stemmed from a new domain that is being controlled by the command structure of another domain which is impeding their mission.

The Air Force had complete control over the domain of space, splitting space out didn't answer any real organizational problems.

IMO, the real forward looking decision would be to have created a cyber force. Apparently US Cyber Command is a shit show from having several seperate command hierarchies. And arguably the material conditions of the cyber domain are a greater present threat to the enforceable boundaries of the US.
The impetus for DasBetterC is to use a subset of D that does not require the D runtime library.

I used SpaceVim for a month or two, and it was good, but I switched to LunarVim and it's amazing! Been using it for ~6 months.

As you say, updates are a bit rough. I've given up on updating,and periodically I just reinstall it from scratch (a fairly painless process, they did amazing at making it easy to install). I figure this is comes with the territory of a rapidly evolving package.

The Treesitter and LSP features give me real-time code intelligence that I had been missing, and has made porting python2->python3, especially with type annotations, so much easier!
Multiprocessing is fine, but the cost of starting another interpreter is pretty visible, so you need to create a pool, and it may not be an overall speedup if the run time is short.

It takes more careful planning than async in JS?, say, or goroutines.
An interesting game. The govt could then raise the fine, but would they risk bankrupting the hospitals by pushing too far?
How do I figure out if I need something like this and how well my current insurance covers me?

I'm trying to find a case study but nothing turns up. A story - someone got a major injury, cancer, or other life-threatening hard/impossible-to-cure condition, and how exactly the events had unfolded financially. I.e. how many tens of millions the treatments were worth, how much insurance had covered, and how much was still left to pay and why. So maybe I could see what my insurance covers and see if I need another insurance to fill some obvious gaps.

All that my naive search attempts produce are mentions about people without coverage or with insufficient cheap coverage, which is a problem but a different one from what I'm trying to research. Oh, yes, and lots of mentions of out-of-network ambulance drives' crazy costs - I get this one.
COBRA is fuxking expensive. I have no desire to pay for it again on a low salary.
If the D code is aware that it needs to initialize the runtime then yes, either that you or you initialize it yourself before using it.

rt_init will fire up the D runtime.

As for constructors the runtime should handle those when the module is initialised, so not necessarily on program start up or the DSO being loaded.

If, however, you want to register a C runtime constructor you can do do so with pragma(crt_constructor).

I actually recently-ish fixed a bug to make the aforementioned type of constructor work on MacOS because Apple decided to deprecate them with no reason.

> when you have a very large number of employees developing software it means that you can keep your teams out of each others' hair

Two things here. One is that it often looks like the tail wagging the dog. Microservices are often introduced to manage and support development teams that grew too large. Unfortunately the correct course of action in such cases is layoffs not microservices.

Two. In my experience the places I worked at where microservices were extensively used had even more issues of employees stepping on each other as compatibility issues and upgrade sequence between services were a frequent concern and the independent testing was a total myth as most teams did not provide good mocks for their API surfaces. Meanwhile troubleshooting such distributed systems was _very_ real and very hard.

Interesting idea. Something I do on cold nights when camping in the back country is to put some rocks in my fire and bury the firepit when the coals are hot and sleep on top of that. Usually keeps me warm enough to at least get 4 or 5 hours of comfortable sleep during cold nights.

Not exactly: In 2019: "Specifically, we updated our guidelines to require hospitals to make available a list of their current standard charges via the internet in a machine-readable format and to update this information at least annually, or more often as appropriate." [1]

Which is part of this executive order that Trump signed: "Within 60 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall propose a regulation, consistent with applicable law, to require hospitals to publicly post standard charge information, including charges and information based on negotiated rates and for common or shoppable items and services, in an easy-to-understand, consumer-friendly, and machine-readable format using consensus-based data standards that will meaningfully inform patients' decision making and allow patients to compare prices across hospitals."

What took so long is that you misunderstand how these rules work, Obama didn't actually do it, Trump did.

It would be one thing if there was a war. The strike happened after US withdrawal. So is the US at war with Afghanistan forever now or what?
Not only do we need public price lists, the middlemen need to be cut out — specifically, the doctors. You should be able to wander into a specialist's office and get an appointment without having to go through a GP first; you should be able to get most any test done in exactly the same way. Due to the insurance companies and the hospitals they work for, doctors aren't going to suggest anything other than the basic stuff you can find through Google about a low/high count in any test. Yes, GPs are useful and have a role — but as long as their hands are tied, they're glorified flowchart jockeys. Free the data, free the patients.
Urgent care should be a billing code at the ER. Pretty much the second they triage you out of immediate care, the separate facility and separate providers are increasing costs.

Medical providers suffer under central planning and believe that moving low risk, high value care out of hospitals will make things cheaper. The thing that will make things cheaper is to figure out ways to directly make them cheaper.
DRM is absolutely immoral even if it's the little guy imposing it.
I personally disagree. I find the internet and web browser to be the least interesting portion of the computing stack - I get my kicks doing graphics programming and systems programming. The browser and web are the last technologies I want to write code for in my personal time. This is why computing and programming a great though, no matter what your interests are, you can probably find some niche or specialization that suits your personal interests and strengths.
> "Hey, we just changed the syntax without warning and will not support the old one anymore, good luck"

I think this is slightly uncharitable. The people working on BuckleScript had been unhappy about syntax for a while, and wanted to make it simpler for people coming from JS. They also kept supporting Reason syntax - it's quite literally in the announcement and forum threads from the time that old code will continue to work.

I can't speak to why the rebrand went down the way it did, as none of us can know for sure, but I think it might have more to do with internal communication between team members than any one person taking their toys and going home, so to speak.

> I mean, the way that the creator of ReScript behaved on discord to any criticism to his decisions at the time didn't helped

I didn't hang around on the Reason discord (for good reason, I now suppose :P) but I don't think that had anything to do with Reason dying out. No matter how the ReScript people behaved, Reason native could've gone its own way, but it didn't, and the responsibility for that is on Reason. As much responsibility as there is, ofc. I don't mean to imply that the team behind Reason should've continued developing if they didn't want to, I just don't think the ReScript people should be held to account for how Reason evolved.

(FWIW, I was interested in Reason only for native, and have zero interest in ReScript, so I say this as someone who is "on your side".)
I think services became really popular from Amazon, and that quickly went to microservices IMHO. It's perhaps analogous to say: "That's what Amazon does. Seems to work fine for them". It's very interesting there are big techs now with well known monoliths vs Amazon services.

Though, Amazon's services are so that any internally useful tool can be externally exposed and then rented out to generate more revenue. The reasons/benefits are very different compared to say decoupling or the other reasons given for service orientated architectures.

Ultimately, the military is like any organization made up of people with the usual politics, interdepartmental turf battles, fiefdoms, etc. Sharing information means giving up "power" and, unfortunately, government employees are not selfless civil servants looking to make the world a better place (maybe on their best days they are), they are just people like us.

It says a dollar in the year I was born (1963) is the same as $8.4 today

As a reminder to myself about the meaning of hard money... I carry around a 1901 dollar... minted in New Orleans, that you might have got as change in 1963.... that's worth $19.20 melt value today. More than twice the $8.4 amount.

Not in my wallet is a 1852 dollar... worth $84.48 today in melt value. It's too soft, and too darned tiny.
Password-protect (i.e. encrypt) the documents and provide the passwords on a separate piece of paper with your reasoning and concerns clearly laid out. This won't prevent the leaking of those documents, but it will prevent automatic indexing by search engines unless they deliberately strip out encryption prior to leaking them.

If they do strip it out, then the excuses of them "accidentally" leaking the documents becomes very implausible to any reasonable judge.

For good measure, add unique watermarks to all documents to make it easier to prove who leaked the documents later.

Maybe they would be interested in acquiring the shares.

For what it is worth, a loan against the shares isn’t diversification.

Also, illiquid shares are unlikely to be an attractive form of collateral to most people in a position to lend.

Good luck.
Having two different forms of medical insurance can be worse than one. I’ve not had such an experience, but I’ve heard horror stories of the two providers pointing fingers at each other and refusing to pay.

Yea 30M is still small now, it's the rate of adoption that matters. Metamask was at 2M users at the start of 2021, hit 10M at the end of August (https://consensys.net/blog/press-release/metamask-surpasses-...) and then 30M in March 2022 (https://decrypt.co/95039/metamask-consensys-30-million-users)

And this is just one crypto wallet, there are a handful of others too. It will probably slow during the crypto bear market, but that's insanely fast growth. I can see it being quite common for people to have either their own crypto wallet or one provided via their bank in the next decade. Having a browser plugin to pay for anything with one click (with 2FA for bigger purchases) is a much better experience than having to enter your credit card onto many different sites.
In college I had a class where 25% of the final grade was Exam One, 25% Exam Two, 25% Exam Three, and 25% Homework. I got 100s on all of the exams, but never did any homework, so I got a C for the class.

In later semesters, I realized I could convince professors to give me a higher letter grade than what the sylabus prescribed, but for that class, oh well.
Whoa. Dark matter = possibly an unknown type of star too dim to see. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_compact_halo_object

Never thought about that. I always heard that dark matter was a particle that interacts gravitationally but not electromagnetically. The dim star theory seems at least worth considering.

But that raises all kinds of questions, like how is it a star if it’s not emitting light?

I like how some salty physicist added “Therefore, the missing mass problem is not solved by MACHOs” a few paragraphs in. :)
Yup. When I watch "Alone" where the contestants are supposedly survival experts, I often wonder about their ineptness around fire, fireplaces, chimneys, etc. None seem to have hit on the idea of putting a rock in the fire, then wrapping it in some insulation then putting it in the sleeping bag.

Some make themselves sick from the smoke (inadequate chimney), more than one burned down their shelter.

(I have no idea how to hunt & fish, but I bet I could build an adequate shelter and fireplace.)
I'm sorry, but the form to attack the US must be filled out in triplicate. You've also used the land invasion form which is pink. To attack via space, you need the space attack approval form which is blue. You'll also need to be sure that the forms have been properly notarized, and you'll need to apply for a notary authorization by filling out the proper form which, in this case, is yellow.

I think this is mostly a good idea. I’ve been to Venice a few times and the best trip was in the middle of February, when the rain and cold scared away summer crowds.

However, I do wish that the city managed to retain some of its former glory as a commercial center. It must have been an incredible place in the 13th and 14th centuries, long before tourism economics turned it into a place to visit and not a place to live.

I believe that this price transparency will have a pretty radical impact.

I used to negotiate with hospitals on reimbursement and if I were still doing the job, the first thing is do is pull up this data and say “This other plan of similar size is paying $X. I’m willing to pay the same.”

Sure it will take time to shake out. Hospitals will reject super low prices (that they were possibly losing money) for all payers. In exchange insurers will likely reduce the ultra high payments where they were paying a 500% mark up.

It will likely take a few years for it to shake out, but assuming the transparency remains I could see this actually driving prices closer to cost. Sure, big payers will drive it lower and small payers will pay more, but we could start to see a much smaller range.

Fingers crossed.
How do you arrive at "free circulation" being a "basic human right." I've never heard that.

Seems pretty common to not necessarily be allowed to go anywhere you please just because you want to. Maybe it is an extreme example, but I know I don't want people freely circulating inside my house.
Nah. It's easy to envision fully autonomous vessels in space which function fine without a communications link. In fact, that's probably the most desirable type of craft, one that isn't hampered by delays in communication and can respond quickly to dynamic situations.
