The creator of bucklescript (ReasonML/OCaml to JS compiler) decided to drop ocaml support and gather the already built community around his new project (Rescript) and it wasn't well received by the part of the community that were interested in ReasonML (and OCaml) for native or hybrid applications, which is kind of obvious since:

1. Rescript is not ReasonML/OCaml, it is a new language.

2. Rescript doesn't compile to native code.

Forks were being discussed, the creator didn't like the criticisms of his decision (which came as a surprise for most of the community), people didn't liked having the rug pulled out of their feet, aggressive comments were made, people were angry and the community got separated between web and native, both weaker than the united one.

TL;DR; The creator decided that his project was for web only, alienated the native developers out of the blue and shattered the community.

> Being inept at using a gun does not make you immune from getting shot by one.

Okay? Not sure what you're getting at here.

> It's a cop out because you should not need to have gun proficiency in order to have a valid opinion on guns.

It's not a cop out. There are too many leading with arrogance and ignorance on gun control, and a vast majority of them are folks who have never gone near a gun in their life. Keep thinking that it's informed voting to understand absolutely nothing about gun laws and gun culture but
_demand_ that it change. That's a terrible policy no matter the subject.
I don't know my Christian scripture, but didn't Jesus also get stabbed with a spear by a Roman soldier at some point around the crucifixion? That could certainly explain an early death. I might be horribly wrong though.
Defined benefit pensions and retiree healthcare.

Politicians get to calculate the present value however they want today (which always means understating the real cost), and letting the future deal with the problem and playing catch-up to the real costs.

No one cared about this enough so government employee unions and politicians back then got away with underpaying employees in cash (hence reputation of government pay being low), but then give cops and some others 3% final average pay pay pensions including overtime or just averaging the final 3 or 5 years of pay. I have even seen pension plans just use the final year of pay.

The pensions start at 20 years of service, so you can have people earning a couple hundred thousand in their final years in mid 40s or 50s, and then get an annuity worth $200k * 20 years * .03 per year = $120k per year, and then on top of that some even negotiated cost of living adjustments (currently wrecking Illinois’ taxpayers).

Go ask an insurance agent for a quote for an annuity of $120k starting at age 50 until you die and see what they quote you.

They will probably laugh you out of the room.

Add government doctors, lawyers, university management, etc and the costs explode.
I hear you, but again - the strongly recommended medical advice is to brush your teeth twice a day to remove bacteria before they can form a biofilm, so if that was true, you would expect to see people who brush their teeth have worse problems from advantageous bacteria.
Alain's advice/statements include:

- All parties are terrible and you're a terrible person if you like parties

- Women date abusive men because they were traumatized as a child, and they avoid nice guys, so be an asshole to women

- You can't be a good person unless you had a shitty time growing up, and people only start families to deal with their own shitty family trauma, so, good luck

- You are doomed to an unhappy marriage. Don't look for someone you like, look for someone you can endure

- People with bad taste were traumatized as children. All Russians and Saudi Arabians have bad taste

- People give self help books a lot of shit, but you should read self help books (Alain sells self help books)

- For dinner you should order children's fish sticks, cranberry juice, and the most expensive dessert, the last two because you feel awkward about ordering the first one, and this will help you on a date
Nitpick, but, anyone else have issues reading the article? The grammar usage seems "off."

If you rebrand it to make it obvious this isn't a copycat listing of LibreOffice, IMO that would be okay.
This might be true initially. But such people have networks who know people, pull strings, and move them pretty quickly to "the best" hospital in the area. You know, the Mayo Clinics, the Johns Hopkins, the Cedar Sinais of the world. It makes the hospitals happy, too because they run fundraisers and happy rich patients tend to give a lot, for just this reason.

Do you think they're not sharing data? Why?

Different agencies is about different collection techniques and domains.

I'd love to hear your argument why mental health isn't involved with the recent uptick of shootings in America.
This is the one that's simple to enforce. No price, no bill.
> in America, it is very common for hot water tanks to suddenly fail, leaking water everywhere and causing massive amounts of property damage and even creating health hazards through mold.

I've had them fail and leak many times. But I had the water heater put in the basement next to a floor drain, and the floor slopes slightly towards the drain. No damage whatsoever from leaks, and it wasn't an emergency to get it fixed, either.

It's stupid simple and cheap to do this, I dunno why I've never seen any other dwelling with such a setup. My house has a number of things like this, making it cheap to maintain.

P.S. I'm an American.
Ask HN: We have written an LDAP replication product, now what?
This question was originally asked to the Reddit /r/ActiveDirectory community, great feedback.

We've been doing directory synchronization solutions for quite a while but came across a request to verbatim copy a very large LDAP directory locally to save on bandwidth.

Out came this new product that when pointed to a source part of a tree can copy everything under that to another ldap server. You can filter which attributes you want, it can perform delta discoveries and can keep everything up to date on each run. Oh and its extremely fast. Everything is copied as-is including the dn structure etc. Its basically replication over a single ldap port without having to have server agreements or extra special ports.

It's a very niche product but I think it has uses for things like test environments, easy update of satellite office local directory servers etc.

My question for the identity/directory/ldap admins out there is:

Do we have a product that solves a problem that doesn't exist?

tia.
The users still on IRC have their heads stuck in the sand and insist every feature irc is missing is actually a good thing and that the users are wrong.

The users then use other services which have these features and the irc users claim some grand conspiracy to kill open protocols.
VIP treatment means a private room and doctors who personally really actually pay attention to your treatment because the administrator has reminded them to do that, or your friend from med school/business school has asked them to do that. It is not conferred by a blanket.

BTW there is a carrot and a stick going on. Yes, the hospital admin wants to make VIP patients happy for donations, but they also want to avoid making the patient unhappy because they have resources to sue, and win. All of this is highly motivational.

Hang out with more punks and goths, who trend more monochromatic. :-)
Sure. Aside from the Google phones upload contacts to cloud issue, and the encouraging contacts to be added thing, there are two clear problems: both metadata.

(1) It's the network of phone numbers - who knows who, when they added, that starts to draw a picture.

(2) If they have any infrastructure at all - update checks, contact additions, whatever, that is going to phone home or be polled or contacted whatsoever, particularly that which can facilitate a network response (generate network traffic when an ID is added) then the app effectively acts as an element that can be used for identity verification even if all traffic is encrypted. This is not a small issue.

These issues are not unique to Signal, but they should not be swept under the rug. FWIW I do not claim to have read or audited their code, I just feel the use of PSTN IDs (== highly available link to personal identification) is a total farce which introduces huge risk for nearly no benefit to users and is fundamentally incompatible with their nominal public stated goals (again haven't read the official text) of end user security if that security is supposed to be best-effort.
I used to joke that if you don't have air superiority, you just have permission. I'd change that by saying I would extend that to space, and it's not a joke anymore.

If I weren't too old, would move to the US and enlist to join Space Force. It is really the most important place to be in the world right now. I have some familiarity with some of the problems they need to solve, and they are the only place in government seriously engaged in countering our actual existential threats. The only real fully existential physical threats to the US will come not from sea, air, or land, cyber, or biology where it is already well defended, but from space.

The existence of a Space domain dilutes the integrity of a US ability to secure a physical perimeter in which it can exercise its sovereignty and from where it can project its power. Just in the next 50 years, near earth orbits are going to be full of self-defending orbital satellite and space faring vehicles providing economic resources back to nations on earth. Because of the physical distances and latencies in space, the only thing that secures those vehicles from each other (and therefore any commerce and national interest in space) is cybersecurity. Managing orbital and space faring traffic and securing access to key orbits that facilite whatever economics come out of them is essential. If an axis of China, Russia or and any other countries domainate space, you aren't free or sovereign when you need to ask their permission.

This is on top of how our infrastructure needs to be resilliant to to solar events and even metorites. I'm glad this agency is starting. It's smart.
That's lifetime comp.
>> the worst attack on US soil.

I think it is pretty strong to suggest that 9/11 was the worst attack on US soil ever without further justification. During the Battle of Gettysburg, for example, more than 7,000 soldiers died after Lee's army attacked the US army. The Attack on Pearl Harbor might also be in contention, depending on how severely you rate the crippling of the US Pacific Fleet.
I don't know how you can't notice it when doing video editing, you have to actively notice the frame rate to do it right. Any choppiness will be evident. Also I really don't understand your second paragraph. You can't get rid of input delay or make frames appear faster by disabling vsync. When you mux the video you target a specific frame rate, the common formats are almost always 24, 25, 30, 60, or multiples of those. The frames are appearing the same, it's whatever is in the video file.
Wrote Hacking Healthcare for O'Reilly, created ClearHealth/HealthCloud open source EMR, managed health systems for 15+ years, blah, blah, blah.

It is very good there is are the transparency regulations. It is worth briefly explaining some of the reasons why many facitilities are having a hard time complying. There are some bad actors, absolutely true. However "Hanlons Razor" -- never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity -- definitely applies.

Many health systems are a lot more like "medical malls" than they are single monolithic enterprises. Lots of health systems use really, really old technology and also a lot of it from a company called "Epic". Epic does what it wants, when it wants and there is basically nothing anyone can do about it. There is rarely one central consistent mechanism and source of truth for pricing data because it gets generated from a complex web of different entities, systems, and processes. Herding all those cats is why it can take a health system a long time to comply. And also why a fine of even a million dollars can be small potatos vs the cost of actually complying in a timely manner.

Just one facet, MUMPS is a widely used technology which you probably haven't heard of and which very few technologists understand. Lots of people are struggling to create new code to meet the new regulations using 1970s era technology including MUMPS.

Another, a lot of health systems have been around a really long time. The insurers they work with also, (since the 1960s at least). They have Electronic Data Interchange EDI relationships built on the standard called 837. Business logic that surrounds pricing and billing is often buried in 50 years of tech debt. Everyone is deathly afraid of making too many changes too fast because when those systems break the money stops flowing and a health system will literally go insolvent. People still have hard physical lines connected to Medicare mainframes.

This is a similar situation to other regulated industries like banking, airlines, etc. Modernization is hard, time consuming and very expensive. These regulations are a good driver for all that, but it takes time. Having been in some of these boardrooms there is not typically a cartel of evil executives figuring out how to screw patients. A lot of the time it is a group of relatively normal people trying to hold up a technological and business process house of cards with chewing gum, paper clips and hope.

Disclaimer: I have been involved with the development of some of the fee schedules and health systems mentioned/criticized.
Pre-mortems. In general I haven’t found them that useful as the teams/leads I’ve worked with generally have the risks covered already
Correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't some hospital bills/prices considered to be negotiable estimates? If so, wouldn't that skew the data?

And yes, prices should be set in stone and be easily accessible, unless it's something that is hard to evaluate due to one reason or another.
Irc users like being stuck in 1995. What they don’t like is that no one else agrees with this.

Those buttons are expensive and fail relatively quickly. It's a good idea, though.
Here's a solution: Let doctors be doctors and not glorified algorithmic-assembly-line workers. Incentivize transparency through something better than Yelp reviews. Incentivize diagnostic outpatient facilities, make them more accessible and discoverable. Especially through telemedicine if possible, but make sure they can be seen in person by someone competent if needed.

I'm sure I'll get downvoted here for this part, but government shouldn't be micromanaging care standards, even through a proxy like medicaid and medicare claim criteria. Let the citizens regulate the system instead, and government's job should be to make it easier for them to do so.

Yes, transparency can come through price lists, but prices can never go down until quality goes up first. It's just like code quality: If it's bad, you'll have to spend more time dealing with technical debt than it would have been to invest in the quality up front. Bad medical care breeds more complicated patient situations, and the rate of seriously ill patients increases as a result. Supply cannot keep up with demand.

Analyzing price lists, shaming providers into lowering prices, etc., will not solve this, nor is that idea even novel. But it may be useful as a single part of a more comprehensive strategy to solve the root of the problem.

It's great for business, especially since Michael Moore's documentary made it politically incorrect to deny medical claims for terminally or seriously-ill patients. Still bad for life expectancy, but we'll probably need another "groundbreaking" documentary before the country really wakes up to the scheme.

And for Christ's sake, stop training doctors to ask "what are your symptoms" (when they are already reasonably aware of what the type of issue is), and use more yes/no questioning about specific symptoms. If doctors can't be trained fast enough to be able to do even that, I'd think about fixing that, too.

If you don’t have the skills to write modular maintainable monoliths then you most definitely don’t have the skills to implement modular maintainable microservices.

Consider long-term capital gains as normal income for "high-income" taxpayers. One could argue that passive income should not be taxed significantly less than income from "an honest day's toil" but that's how the rules are written. I guess you can tell who wrote the rules?
Disagree with all of this. Hot water leaks are very rare. Water heater failure usually manifests as cold showers and a quick replacement unit from a plumber. Drain pan with a hose is a more reliable protection than a sensor. Sensors are much more likely to give annoying false positives than to prevent damage; you can see from Rheem discussion forums that they’re not appreciated.
