> Not excusing the Portopiccolo Group at all, but it sounds like half the problem is labor shortage.

The problem is enormously complex.

First, there's been a labour shortage in geriatric care for years.

Then the pandemic came along and exacerbated things.

Meanwhile, elder care in highly supportive settings is very labour intensive, which means it's expensive.

But it's also a service people have no choice to buy. i.e., eventually some percentage of elders will require full time care, and right now, in most of the western world, that means an institutional setting.

And the consumers of the product are some of the least represented in our political systems. Even with organizations like the AARP, the reality is the needs of an aging population get about as much attention as the needs of the poor.

When you combine a product with very high and inelastic demand, combined with high costs, and no consumer advocacy, and then privatize that service, guess what: the quality of the product is going to go down in order to cut costs and maximize profits.

Given that the primary cost of elder care is staffing, that creates downward pressure salaries, which drives even more people out of an already very challenging industry.

The answer is simple: Elder care should be a publicly delivered service.

But, the neoliberal answer is to Privatize All The Things. And so here we are.

How much of that "money thrown at the problem" is actually used to pay teachers more and attract competent teaching talent and give the teachers proper resources they don't have to buy with their own money and providing needy students the help they need to succeed?

I already know the answer, because many in my family are lifelong teachers. All money goes to facilities that don't always need it, though are still good investments, and administration.

The current process sure works well to say "well we keep throwing money at it and nothing improves" as if you can LITERALLY just throw money in the general direction of the problem and see an improvement. As long as those prioritizing funds and resources continue to just ignore teachers wholesale, we will see no improvement in education.
This is an unsatisfactory answer, but Fly does run Java/JVM apps via Dockerfiles. The best docs we have for it at the moment are at https://fly.io/docs/getting-started/dockerfile/, but its clearly not written for folks who want to deploy Java apps.

If somebody deploys a Java app to Fly, please consider documenting it at https://github.com/superfly/docs/tree/main/getting-started and we'll merge it into https://fly.io/docs/
This was 20-30 years ago. I drove two different manual transmissions in LA, a Volvo 240 and an Infiniti G20. I'm pretty sure the Volvo had a mechanical (non-hydraulic) clutch. Not sure about the G20.
I agree. All that data should be publically available for reproduction of the work as well as open season. No one should be able to patent it either, or should only be able to file a patent to make it "publically available into perpetuity" to protect it. If tax dollars funded it, we own it as a society. If companies foot the bill then maybe something more complicated needs to exist, but if it is 100% public funded, universities should not be able to sell it off to corps.
These are western propaganda estimates from biased sources. Russian sources claim 7-10000 casualties (deaths and wounded). The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Taking into account that Russia has neither mobilized nor deployed its actual army yet, and that most of the fighting is being done by locals and volunteers from the disputed regions, I fail to see the significance of "massive casualties" much less people state that "Ukraine is winning".

Anyone that looks at the events with a modicum of objectivity should admit that it looks super-dire for Ukraine and the only thing Ukrainians can hope for given current trajectories is further devastation.
Oh hi! I'm the creator of this.

Slack doesn't deserve any hate here... also, it happened in 2018!

I created this manyyyy years ago, since finding/uploading new emojis was so clunky. It's so weird to see it here now. This whole thing happened in 2018, so this isn't new. They just wanted me to change the name (fair enough!). I always meant to redo it with their new emoji API (so it didn't need a Chrome extension) and rename it; I just never got around to it.

Plus, their emoji support got better (they used to reject large emojis rather than resize, didn't have newer emojis, they didn't have an API for adding emojis, etc), so a lot of the features became much less important :)

The email from their lawyer had a bunch of scary legalese, but here's the friendly part from him:

"Please understand that we are not interested in squelching creativity or stopping people from encouraging the use of our platform. However, our name and our brand are very important symbols of trust for our customers and we need to make sure that trust is not violated, even inadvertently, by non-Slack products."

I'm a huge Slack fan (hence why I built this) and built this to fix a need I had, but it's their brand and I don't blame them at all!
There ARE other ways, but mesos was a freaking mess. I actually liked swarm, but it lost. k8s also brings in pretty novel ideas that destroy proprietary IaaS, such as the nginx (or other) front end ingress routers that I haven't seen implemented meaningfully in a IaaS neutral way.

Sure, you may have a few properties in your k8s yaml that change from AWS vs Google vs Azure vs other k8s hosts. That's not something that takes more than a debugging session to get right. That's HUUUGE progress.

"Average" doesn't mean they have nothing to offer.

I find "people" as an aggregate dull and stupid. But I've never met an individual person who doesn't have their own story, their own hopes, regrets, wins and losses. Very few have a novel's worth, but novels are not the only kinds of story to be told.

I really have no idea. (I don't mean that dismissively, just literally.)

Things like this, btw:

> You could have your companies report hiring results every month

... come from a mismatch between perception (of how things are over here) and reality (of how things are over here). We'd never do that, not because it would be valueless, but because there are so many other things that need doing which would benefit the community more.

(Again, I don't mean that as a criticism - it's not as if these things are directly perceivable.)
I think it's a good question I've thought about and discussed a lot.

I'm not sure.

One guess is that heroku actually started with quite a bit less than we now see -- for instance, initially only supported Rails. The bar was so much lower then, since there had been nothing else like it, that they had enough runway to start with much less than would be "table stakes" today and build up to it.

Also they just had a really really really good team, and really good management that let the team go.

And luck maybe?

Not sure what their funding was, if they had funding runway that's hard to get today for a similar product?

But honestly I don't know. There are several competitors trying. None of them have in my opinion yet reached heroku in DX. And it's hard to talk about because it's not just an issue of listing significant features; it's also a million tiny things that are just right and work together just right.

I think it's _something_ about them being the "first mover", and building out initially when there was pretty much nothing like it, and when expectations were lower.
I never 'got' what heroku was all about , but i have been working with linode, aws and similar for more than 10 years. I find it pretty easy to spin something up in aws

Otoh i know of a medium company (500 employees) that started in heroku and is moving to aws. Apparently they got to the top tier of the DB , and they've stumbled with several limitations by some lack of access .

> What they often do is form a corporation or an LLC or any kind of corporate form, and the legal owner will be the corporate form, not the true owners. So they have insulated themselves from any connection between the operations and the health care and themselves.

> Often we see the actual property that the health facility is on put into a separate LLC and—owned by the same owners, of course—however, they then lease themselves that building. There’s also various ways that they can further vertically integrate through pharmacies, through staffing companies, through housekeeping and hospitality companies.

> All of these can be owned by the same individuals theoretically but placed into separate corporate forms and transact in business with one another. And so really it’s just kind of musical chairs of moving money around from one pocket to another.

Anecdotally, solitude is unhelpful when it comes to figuring out the context or direction of work. It sounds counterproductive, to get creative by burrowing oneself with solitude work, to produce results that cannot be understood or appreciated by other people.
I'll share here a quote from Cal Newport's Digital Minimalism, which I mentioned in another comment. Our brain's so-called default network, the one that fires "when thinking about nothing, […] seems to be connected to social cognition."

> Because the subject wasn’t engaged in a specific task, it was easy for researchers to think of the default network as something that comes on when you’re thinking about nothing. A little self-reflection, however, makes clear that our brains are hardly ever actually thinking about nothing. Even without a specific task, they tend to remain highly active, with thoughts and ideas flitting by in an ongoing noisy chatter. On further self-reflection, Lieberman realized that this background hum of activity tends to focus on a small number of targets: thoughts about “other people, yourself, or both.” The default network, in other words, seems to be connected to social cognition.

That is how I became aware of western Mass, actually. FWIW education is a major driver for us since we have 3 young kids. My thinking waffles a bit because there's a list of criteria in my head, like being walkable, bikeable, having a downtown area, in addition to the more major concerns we have as a family around education, local economy, and affordability. I appreciate the reply!
It may help to focus on the source. You can contact the publisher directly and ask if it's their policy to publish AI-generated content.

Over time this can help you create a reliable collection of sources, but for casual browsing or listening you may have to develop a qualitative filter set--IOW, in what ways are you at risk by listening to AI-gen content, and what does that imply as to possible filtering steps, etc.
We should be able to use the international patent system for that. Make it publically open to any single "citizen" any international corp seizing on it should have to pay patent fees to the general fund of the US treasury or something set up to feed it back into our government sponsored R&D programs.
Are you worried that a smaller provider may be less reliable in the long run, or you are already prepared to just switch your domain again if it becomes an issue? If you are ok sharing it, what is the provider?

I really wanted to switch to Fastmail a few years back but 1) its registration page was intermittently down for me and 2) when I caught it during uptime, it sent me to phone SMS verification which I found invasive given it is a paid service. I was ready to give it a chance anyway, but no SMS got delivered to me in the end.

That's an ironman, mate. Pedestrian safety is a huge part of modern safety regulations for vehicles. It's why the Mini stopped being mini. Between that and side impact standards they couldn't keep that low hood and door sills.

I drove a Triumph Spitfire for a while. Any time I took it out of town I took the state highways or country roads, because not only would that thing fit under a truck trailer, at a stoplight I could reach out and touch the bumper on most vehicles. Anything bigger than a sedan and I had to reach -up- to do it. I was only ever safe in that vehicle in the same way that motorcyclists are safe - constant vigilance and pre-planning, which I learned as a bicyclist.
we do through the international patent system. We should get money back for our tax dollars, simple as that. We could work it into international patents. I know some countries ignore those, but we can make them pay in other ways like tariffs and treaties.

Goodhart's Law will basically apply to any exam under capitalism: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

If these jobs didn't offer more compensation and prestige than other positions, matching candidate competency to job requirements would be much more achievable, but as it is now, it's an adverseal system that demands gamification (because when any candidate plays the game, if you don't, you are actively harming your material conditions with a lower position and smaller salary)
Well, for one, there's no hole anymore to plug in these perfectly good headphones. For two, I didn't need an internet connection to play local files. Three, I didn't need 3 different battery emplacements, one was sufficient. Four, I don't have to leave my front door unlocked to look out the window (bluetooth attack surface). Five - Spotify and probably apple music inject content I don't want to listen to, don't respect my shuffle choices, and sell everything I listen to and linger on to anyone with a cent and a pulse. Six - My headphones will last at least an order of magnitude longer than your AirPods. Seven - When i open up my stock music player, it won't need to 'update' (where updates are acutally prebuffered crap (remember that U2 album?) and title cards and features I do not require for my application experience.

There's a reason Apple stopped making the iPod. It wasn't for your benefit. It was to monetize your habits, and enslave your consumer urges. I know people who have lost 5 digit music collections, because Apple just paved over them, knowing they'd line right up to buy it all over again.
Somewhat similar: I worked on the !chkimg (1) Windbg extension at Microsoft. This little extension was run on incoming kernel dumps to see if it can identify crashes due to bad RAM. It analyzed incoming memory dump files - sent via Windows Error Reporting. If the dump had any code sections for Microsoft code, it would compare that with the binaries that Microsoft officially shipped. If it found evidence of code corruption, it would try to classify the pattern - bad RAM had a distinctive pattern of corruption. We also found other interesting things - i.e. lots of anti-virus patching the kernel code and causing alot of problems (this was way back before PatchGuard).

If you are interviewing for 10-20 jobs in a particular week, a 2-4 hour take home test is a full time job 40 hours worth of work.

I would accept a 2-4 hour time commitment but only much later in the interview process, when much of the interviewing was done and the list was whittled down to 2-3 serious companies.
I actually don’t mind take home tests, but I want the company to also burn resources as to disincentivize ghosting.

Problem with take homes is that you can spend hours and then they can spend seconds or minutes reviewing.

At least with traditional interviews the time spent is equal for both parties.

Musk said "unequivocally". Besides, the person you responded to was making a different point. They were making the point that the crashes would likely be those easily avoided by humans. A) I think this is a distinct point from yours, but still answers it anyway as far as it being a refutation that FDS is safer, and it's not pointing to a single anecdote. the poster was calling for ALL footage to be released... B) if your point is to say that there is always a human that could have made such a mistake in the car, what is that supposed to mean? not all drivers should be driving, many are even unlicensed...
Unfortunatly you have one try for the domain.

How do you feel about take-homes that have an enforced cap at 60-120 minutes to try to remove the competition on time investment?

Do you learn more than it's possible to learn asynchronously? Most take-homes only have candidates write code, but it's possible to understand a candidate more deeply by asking questions about, for example, how they approached the decisions they made.
The above link is a published application rather than a granted patent. US20170170984A1 by itself carries no legal rights whatsoever.

In this case it was granted with largely similar claims (as US10027505B2). However, claims typically get significantly revised by the time they are granted, and less than half of applications are granted at all.

Sometimes it's about having a common deployment platform at different locations, on premise.

That’s fair, that’s valid, that doesn’t however strike me as a compelling case to go off and hoist all of your stuff into k8s if there’s other equally performant and fault tolerant methods of running your application that require less operational complexity and cognitive load to triage and resolve failures.

It seems to me the problem you bring up would serve an engineering team well to solve and solidify even if the application isn’t running on k8s
