It’s not on the initial prescription filling paperwork AND not on the labeling on the container? My container has 5 warning/notice labels:

Warning about interactions with pregnancy, grapefruit/grapefruit juice, alcohol, all other medications, and a description of the physical appearance of the pills.
I would agree on that.

My initial diagnosis is that it's because of limited/nil feedback. Market driven projects at least have some sort of user feedback (e.g. early market research) that drives the development. It is often flawed but it's better than just a bunch of engineers assuming stuff.
I don't think Anathem had a good ending per-se; rather the whole novel sets up a gimmick revealed at the end that explains away the lack of a good ending.

If a large enough chunk of the information, that happens to be what you'd give to your employees to be frank about the direction your start-up is going, is stuff that your competitors can use, then why aren't you making these employees sign an NDA?
Do you think a warning on a bottle of juice that you buy everyday saying "this may interact with certain medications" would have changed anything? I am 100% sure it wouldn't.
I remember reading that piece, and found it to be interesting and accurate, but somewhat irrelevant. Most people just don't care about latency that much. If we go back to an ancestor high up in this thread, "low latency input and display" is not a goal of computing. "Enabling people to do things they find useful and/or have value" is the goal. And it just turns out that, for most tasks -- even most gaming tasks (or other things where you might say "low latency is important") -- low latency just is nowhere near as important as just being able to do these things at all.

Sure, we might sometimes notice the latency and find it vaguely annoying, but we put up with it because modern computing (with all the attendant "complexity" or whatever that makes low-latency hard) enables us to do things that computers of 20 or 30 or 40 years ago were just completely incapable of doing.

And for the people who really do care about low latency, they can usually build something custom that gets them where they want to be -- as Dan Luu points out in his piece.

At my company we've been slowly rewriting our UIKit app in SwiftUI. We were due for a rewrite when SwiftUI dropped. I'd say we're about 75% done.

For those "stupidly complex UIs", SwiftUI just doesn't have enough hooks for customization. And the improvements are too slow. Using SwiftUI has been bitter-sweet. It feels like you just can't use it to craft a high quality app that doesn't look like a generic iOS app.
But Until decisiveness is defined it’s not really a debate. “Decisive” is not a concrete term, it’s subjective.
> The additional revenue allows for the addition of staff, the implementation of new programs, it helps cover the cost of aging infrastructure.

We could do away with usage tiers, but then we'd have to fund the missing utility revenue out of state/local budgets.

Although, for states with modern-sized populations, managing and funding water infrastructure at the state level seems to make more sense.
A more relevant move would be to add warnings about monoamine oxidase inhibitors to various items that contain them, from coffee to tobacco.

What, exactly, is the problem here? Water districts can turn money into water, even in a drought. This can be done with desalination, sewage reclamation, nonpotable graywater distribution, development of new pipelines, etc.

Majority of the applications are purely stateless, for a very few and apps we had to use either a shared volume/storage or simply locking to a specific node.

We did first locking to specific node, but later decided to use s3fs for those kind of needs. Never needed the shared storage critically to setup anything heavy-lifting reliable.

Although worth noting, from the beginning I had psql running within docker swarm as well, but it was locked to 1 node only, we had a good backup solution to spin up (tried it too) on another node quickly as well.

With mode nodes in the cluster, I made the PSQL into its own machine completely separated from docker environment.
You're right ... I've now submitted the correct one ... thank you.

Edit: sigh The other submission is marked as a dupe, even though it's a different URL. I can't tidy it up, it's a mess, I think I'll just leave it alone and let the mods deal with it.

Edit 2: Oh FFS, the URL on that one has been changed as well. I don't seem to be able to submit the right link. I'll try just once more.

Edit 3: OK, I give up. The URL was right for all of 30 seconds, then got changed. I don't know why, I don't know how, it's enormously frustrating.

I give up.

Do you really think anyone would notice that warning after the third time they buy grapefruit their entire lives?

Especially if the same warning appears on every common food that interacts with some common medication (for example, tea has potential bad interactions with SSRIs and other anti-depressants).

This is 100% on your doctor, pharmacist, medicine producer, and yourself to check. Vague warnings on common foods would have 0 effect.
We'll see, he's got his money invested in a lot of different areas, so I'm sure he'll be fine if this venture doesn't work for him. One thing I've noticed is that what he does largely is just based on what _he_ wants. The backpack he had built because he _wanted_ it, the screwdriver was designed because he _wanted_ it. The Lab is being built up because he wants an obscene amount of random testing just done for everything. It certainly seems to drive him, and it's a better motivator than doing something just because "he needs to for more money", ya know?
Imo the better alternative that is "Duolingo for math" would be Khan academy. it has calc and other math (although it's not amazing past calc).

Probably joking since they type 5 on a computer and would've read it.
One can buy out farm water rights and use them for residential use. Or one can buy machinery and electricity to turn sewage into tasty potable water or turn the Pacific Ocean into tasty drinking water.

The Pacific Ocean is a functionally unlimited supply — it just has the solvable problem of having minerals dissolved in it.
Tying the SwiftUI version to the iOS version is seriously asinine. In the Android world Compose is a regular library so devs can pick the version. That's partly why there has been much more adoption of Compose even though it was released years later than SwiftUI.
I'm building an IDE in (mostly) SwiftUI, and have been using it since release, so I feel like I've worked with it more than most people.

A couple observations:

- SwiftUI is really complex

It's going to take you at least a year to get used to the declarative way it works, and be able to make UIs without struggling to figure out how to shuffle data around. If you look at SwiftUI examples/code, most of the complexity is hidden, but it's there, and you're going to have to interact with it to do anything non-trivial.

- Is SwiftUI the way?

SwiftUI has enabled me to build out huge amounts of beautiful UI quickly – faster than anything I've ever used. But you will run into things you can't do, forcing you have to fall back to AppKit/UIKit. And the area where AppKit/SwiftUI meet will disappoint and frustrate you. I just got done refactoring a huge amount of my app to use the "AppKit App Lifecycle" instead of the SwiftUI App lifecycle since I need some specific windowing behavior. Now I can't use .toolbar, .menu, and other stuff, which makes things much more complicated for me, and forces me to think about both SwiftUI/AppKit. Switching mental models like that, and trying to remember all the intricacies of both SwiftUI and AppKit is rough.

--------------

Regarding the performance issues of this specific post, my guess is they put everything into an ObservableObject, and used @Published properties to get bindings for their UI controls. This means any view with a reference to the ObservableObject gets re-rendered when @Published values change. Instead you need to silo your changes, so your entire App isn't redrawn every frame. This goes back to the complexity – it's not straightforward at all.

There's a Blood Knife article https://bloodknife.com/inadequacy-of-inspirational-scifi/ critiquing Stephenson that makes an interesting companion read to this. I have enjoyed Stephenson's novels tremendously, but when OP says they're not "preachy," that is rather a whopper — particularly thinking of _Cryptonomicon,_ but _Termination Shock_ also digresses into it.
Huh, that’s interesting. I bounced off learning music theory because it seemed to be all about putting everything into little boxes, and music doesn’t really work that way. What are some of the more interesting elements that you get to after the first layers?
Thanks for explaining this. Once you point out the misaligned incentives for the water boards, the disfunction makes so much more sense.

If water boards charged a fixed rate, and the state taxes use by tier, would that better align incentives?

Varies a lot depending on the person. "Absolute" pitch isn't really absolute, in the vast majority of cases. It's a degree of an ability to retain a given pitch and then produce it later without prompting or context.

Keep in mind also that a lot of musicians with "perfect" pitch have to deal with performing situations where the main pitch is not the standard A=440 Hz. For instance in the Baroque repertoire which I perform often, the most common pitch is around A=415, which is around a half step lower, but there are other tunings that pros have to deal with which are both above and below A=440 (European orchestras often tune higher, music before the Baroque is often at A=390, music from the classical period is often around A=430, etc.).
I don't buy that '10x' gain at all.

React Native doesn't seem to have any degree of simplification vis-a-vis regular Android Views for example.

On the web - that's a different story entirely, but when doing strict comparison I just don't really buy it for mobile apps.

The amount of code is similar, but with React you have to deal with extra layers of abstraction, and some things are obfuscated by the framework. No performance gain and often a performance lost.

Wow, this guitar sounds so ultra-clean! Depending on song this could be pretty nice.

But the normal, "imperfect" guitar does not sound bad. I would also say, this "imperfection" gives a guitar its typical sound in the first place, so it's not a "problem".

Both guitars in that video are great, but indeed quite different.

I was somewhat skeptical, but it does look like this comment is correct on the whole. An average household uses around .75 cubic meters of water per day, and it takes around 3.5 kWh to desalinate that much water using reverse osmosis (at scale, probably some best case. I didn't look too hard).

On Silicon Valley Power (suck it PG&E losers), I pay around $0.11/kWh. So a full day's water would cost me around $0.40, or around $12/month if I were to somehow magically do this process at home. That is around 1/10th of my current water bill. That leaves plenty of room to still pay for equipment, distribution, etc.

It sounds like the right time to build desalination plants is now.

Except you very very often don't get an A=440, since a lot of orchestras don't tune to that pitch and early-music orchestras are a full half-tone below that, etc.
That’s a good point for nonfiction works.

Audiobooks are what turned me into a reader though since I either don’t have to work them into my day (I’m already cooking, cleaning, exercising, so might as well listen to more of that book) or deciding to listen to a book compels me to cook/clean/exercise because I have freed up my body to do other things.

The downside is that the token-based audiobook subscription model punishes you for reading too much.
If Scrum is failing developers in your environment, then it is being implemented wrong. Fundamentally it should give more control to developers, break down large tasks into smaller tasks, and help management determine better what projects/tasks to direct resources to.

I wonder what is the technical justification for it too, if any. I mean, sure - you can save space by making it a dynamic library that is shipped with the OS but considering how immature it is, shipping a specific version of it with the app should be an option IMHO.
Tiarap – Privacy-First DNS Resolver
I don't really understand this, but it might be my local costcos. I hate every minute of my time at costco from entering the parking lot to leaving.

I usually go for gas, since its cheaper. There's always a long lineup, 10 minutes or so. Then I go to find a parking space - which I usually try to cut short by parking far away, but costco lots around me are fairly small for the amount of business going on in the store and crowded.

Every second in the store is torture. A mass of people who are all trying to get to wherever they're going. I dont' care about the little food tasting stations - the food sucks and I don't care about it. Items that were there the week before are suddenly no longer stocked at all, and finding boxes is pretty hit or miss. Some items don't have UPCs even though its required to get through self checkout, so self checkout is sabotaged by their own packaging. The mass of people are constantly in the way.

The best part of costco is getting a hotdog on the way out, but in the last 5 times I've gone the wait for a cheap hot dog was ~15 minutes.

I end up going for cheap gas and wasting an hour in line or trying to get to the few items I want to buy.

If this is a so good store experience I have no idea where you normally shop. Every second of it is torture. Maybe if they had half the people in the store, it would be painful instead of unbearable, but thats not a thing.

I don't really understand why people think its a good experience. It's like shopping elsewhere but with even more people around you and trying to get to the things you're standing in front of while you try to make decisions on what to buy, and longer lines.

I don't know that I have a trust level with costco at all. they're just a store.

False dichotomy alert
I feel like the more things I learn, the faster I get at learning new things, and so the number of things I am able to get good at increases at a superlinear rate.

So, I don't think it's really an either get good at A or get good at B. It feels more like either get good at A and B, or neither.

This is my thesis, anyhow, for how polymaths emerge.

You're surprised that the handheld console with controller inputs, only really works well for games designed for....controller inputs? I don't really know how you expected anything different? Obviously playing games designed for keyboard/mouse is gonna have to make compromises to work on a device with controller inputs, it's the same way when playing games designed for controllers on PC. You either plug in a controller or deal with the (usually slight) jankiness. Same goes in reverse for the Deck.

If this were true then companies other than Apple would offer monitors that actually do cater to non-broken configurations but they don’t. The parent post does a great job explaining the technical trade-offs and economy of scale optimisations that manufacturers have decided to make, whereas you have only an ad-hominem attack to offer.
Becoming an expert in one thing takes a lot of time and effort, and this must be maintained even after reaching the goal. But getting a reasonable understanding of many things is not too bad. E.g. working through a freshman level physics text will give you a pretty good (or above average, at least) understanding of the field of physics, and this could be done in a span of months. Maybe try something like this for one subject after another. It could be that this amount of knowledge satisfies you for a given subject and you don't need to go further. But if it doesn't satisfy you, move on to more material. If there really are things you want to spend the time and energy on to reach expert level, you will naturally find them this way. And I suspect that list of things will be a lot smaller than when you started.
Supertankers turn slowly, but if the captain tells you the ship will turn, you better believe it, even if you don’t see the ship turning yet.

Is it? One might assume on fce value and with a bit of charity that's the point. But districts are in a contradictory position. They are being mandated by state of California to reduce water usage. If they did so by mandating caps, this could work. However, their revenues would drop linearly with use in a flat rate scenario. If, rather, a district goes without caps and uses a tiered price structure, they can up the price enough on the bottom teir that the 'commoners' do cut back on water usage enough to meet their goals. However, there is a subset of users for whom price of water is not an issue. They want a putting green or driving range in the back yard. They want to feel like they are in Kauai or Maui when they sit in their backyard garden in Malibu. They already spend hundreds of thousands building a water slide in their back yard, what's a couple grand a month for the kids to enjoy it? You might think of these as extreme examples, but I've seen each of these. These people do not care about the price of water.

With tiered based rates a district can maintain revenues and can make overall reductions. These rate increases happen at the bottom tier to create reductions in use and at the highest teirs to maintain revenues.

The result is that all of the lower and middle income regions stop watering completely, and the wealthy just ignore any water use limitations. Some of these water users use 10-1000x as much water as a typical SFR, 5000 SQ foot lot.
