Good question – I agree it would run counter the common market.

If I remember correctly that was one of the main arguments against the left's solution. The counter argument was that other countries are already doing this or planning on doing it. I believe some parties in Italy has talked about putting a price cap on electricity and gas.
But the same applies to them – is it legal?

It doesn't create good incentives when Sweden exports electricity to Italy (and others of course) that the Italian government would step in and put a price cap. I guess the Italian government will spot the difference – though lending from the EU?

Same would would apply for the left in Sweden I guess. Setting a domestic price cap and market price on exports.

What a mess.

Since you mention insurance documents, could you speak to how well this would extract data from a policy document like https://ahca.myflorida.com/medicaid/Prescribed_Drug/drug_cri... ?

The unstoppable administrative engine that is the American Healthcare system produces hundreds of thousands of continuously updated documents like this with no standardized format/structure.

Manually extracting/normalizing this data into a querable format is an industry all its own.
Academic publishing says this too, and for them at least it turns out not to be true, because they insist that typesetting be done before they see it. The value-add from the publishing industry in general is payment advances and marketing. Same as the music industry. They're both a whole lot more and a whole lot less than somebody drafting in word.

> But a very small number of people want to edit, copy edit, fact check, type set, market and fund writing for no pay.

But not all books need all of those services. The editing, copy editing, and fact checking can be left to the responsibility of a motivated producer to provide, or to a motivated consumer to demand. (Of course, a producer might decide to skip those, and serve non-discerning consumers who don't worry about factuality. But … well, that's where we are, anyway, and always have been. There was yellow journalism well before social media.) Typesetting can be handled automatically for bulks that never leave the computer, which is probably many of them. I'm quite OK if books aren't marketed to me; I think I've hardly ever intentionally consumed a book based on an ad anyway.

As to funding, the whole point of the claim to which you were responded was that there are plenty of people are willing to write for free, so that there is no need for separate funding. This means that we'll get literature that reflects the skills and interests of the people who are interested enough in writing to do it for free, and who can support themselves while they do so. Well, OK; it's not a representative sample, but neither is the literature we have now, nor has it ever been historically. (Of course, too, some writing is inherently costly: travel writing, for example, is costly even if you are willing to do the writing itself for free. But not all writing needs all of these services.)
What is “radio imaging” evidence ?

The only imaging I saw in the subsequently linked case series was conventional structural MRI … that is to say the imaging cited is evidence of absence (granting other aspects of linked assessment demonstrated a symptom burden which could be attributed to CNS dysfunction).

Modern imaging modalities are amazing. Look forward to having the radio imaging finding highlighted.

It's ironic that you mention the railworkers union to defend your claim that I don't understand unions, when the rail industry in America got everything they wanted from the workers.

Do your co-workers use lodash's chain functionality? I've found it useful to achieve kouteiheika's ideal from the current top comment, with top to bottom readability without too much mental overhead.

As an example, given:

const sales = [ {month: "Jan", day: 1, total: 120 }, ... ]

You could determine, say, the highest sales day of a given month as follows:

const highestSalesDayByMonth = _.chain(sales)
.groupBy("month")
.mapValues((salesForMonth) => _.maxBy(salesForMonth, "total"))
.mapValues("total")
.value()

// highestSalesDayByMonth = { Jan: 140, Feb: 90, ... }

Naturally, minimizing the complexity of the iteratee functions and carefully naming of their arguments is very important to ease debuggability.

Writing "clean" code is more of an art form, you can't really have easy rules.

I think the general idea is that clean code is short code, that's the base guideline. Generally shorter code does less things, reducing cognitive load. It may also have performance benefits. It also takes less space on-screen, which is also a good thing: less scrolling, ability to use bigger, more readable fonts, etc... And as explained, short-term memory is limited. Short code also tends not to repeat itself, another common advise.

But that's the baseline, all the art is in appropriate breaking of that guideline, to have short code that doesn't look like it came out of a minifier.

Splitting lines makes longer code, bad, but sometimes it is justified. So what is your justification? The article focuses on "one liners" being hard to understand, but really, it depends on many things. For example you may use a longer form if you think that it is an essential part of your code and it is critical that you should pay attention to it. On the other hand, you can use a shorter form if it is a common pattern, what is "common" depends on who is going to read your code, or the project you are working on. For example, bit manipulation can make a good part of your code base, or be a one-off thing and it will have an influence on how you write that code.

Moving code into functions is generally a good thing if that function is used often (shorter code). I think it is the origin for the term "refactoring": factoring ax+bx+cx+dx becomes x(a+b+c+d), only a single "x" remains and it is shorter. But if that function is only called once, of if the operation is hard to extract from its context, it can lead to longer, harder to understand code, and again you have to exercise judgment. For example you may want to write a specific function because it is a tricky, specific part that you want to separate from the boilerplate. There are interesting considerations to using functions, because it actually reorders code, for example "a(){do_x}; do_y; a(); do_z" is written as x,y,z and does y,x,z, which is often, but not always unintuitive.
Each passing month I am more and more convinced that I should urgently get a) my mails out of my personal (non paying) Gmail account and b) get my associated photos out of Google Photos, mainly because of baby pictures which I cannot fathom to lose.

But then I think about the convenience of my 2TB Google Drive and I can't do it.

And I think, too, of the Polaroid pictures my parents took and gave me in a box once I got married and are now fainted. Mayhaps algorithms deciding that it's time to let go of your own data is just the modern form of yellowing.
Maybe you should be worshipping the sun. Morning sunlight exposure is associated with all kinds of health benefits, not least of which producing Vitamin D, an essential vitamin that, among other things, provides vital protection against certain circulating diseases...

Again, tradition is smarter than you.

> British people love to complain about the state of their railways

I find people have a very different experience with UK rail on whether they're travelling for business or pleasure.

People who commute have to take trains at peak time, at the absolute highest ticket prices, take hundreds of trains a year giving lots of opportunities to get delayed, might get yelled at for being late, and at the end of their journey is... work.

On the other hand, my train travel is off-peak, not that frequent, and almost always taking me to a loved one, a party or a concert. Understandably, my feelings towards trains are very different to my commuter peers!
"But the system as a whole, enacted through the collection of people who implement it, does demonstrate effective outcomes re: community health."

What india and what china are you refering to, when you say "good community health"?

I am not a historian and have not been to both countries, but my general picture of the times where those medicine traditions were at its height, is not really of a healthy one.

There were certainly healthy individuals, but the community health probably has to be described as, survival of the fittest.

Via martial arts, I did study a bit of chinese medicine and I can say I like the general idea of keeping the body in balance. And that sickness is rather a symptom (of imbalance) than the root cause. But the concrete steps they have to do, well, I'd say it is probably 99% placebo.
One thing I‘ve really come to appreciate (applies to all code editors) is to actively use keyboard shortcuts for moving selected lines up/down, and for deleting the current line. Vim users will be used to this anyway, but for the rest of us it’s a great way to code faster.

The other thing (since Xcode‘s clipboard feature is IMO clunky) is to use a clipboard manager with the history set to a decent size. I use Paste (happens to come with SetApp) and never once lost a copied snippet - it‘s rock solid. I’ve developed a habit of just copying whole files in case I want to revert to that state (or partially) later.

> "We have communicated directly, privately at very high levels to the Kremlin that any use of nuclear weapons will be met with catastrophic consequences for Russia, that the United States and our allies will respond decisively, and we have been clear and specific about what that will entail"

I read that, and I'm left scratching my head.

What does "catastrophic consequences" mean? We'll go full nuclear war? Sure, America and its allies will land more than 1000 nukes on Russia, while Russia may only land 100 nukes on us. Let's say that Russia only lands 20 nukes. That could still mean millions of deaths.

Or are we saying, here's your red line. Don't cross it, or we go full nuclear war. But the red line allows the Russians to use a few "tactical" nukes. Then Russia will take that as a permission to use nukes.

> "At the start of the year?"

> "nah. The end of the second month"

> "WHY WOULD IT BE THE SECOND MONTH?"

Because leap day is at the end of the year, but at some time we moved the start of the year two months back (same reason why September through December now are the ninth through twelfth month of the year, not the seventh through tenth)

(Historically, I think it was slightly different. February, the last month of the year was shorter because the year isn’t long enough to give it 30 days, then we moved the start of the year, and then we invented the Gregorian calendar, and picked February for the leap day because it already was an outlier)
A fair critique
I would probably rephrase it as "questioning the value of" rather than "discouraging / being against" x traditional values.

And yes, as these people age/mature it usually morphs more into - we should be much more supportive with systems in place to help single mothers, etc.

Unfortunately there's limits to what the state can do to replace family, and there are good reasons to encourage people to not fall for the same pitfalls that trap them into cycles of poverty, no matter how much the state does to make that poverty less painful.
Not saying this isn't bad, but as long as the blackouts are frequent but short, I feel like heating is probably the least of our worries? Heat stays in a room for a while and most heaters don't stay on all day anyway.

This is, at least, from my experience living in India (in a part where it does get cold). Heating was whatever since the blackouts Werner long, and since blackouts are normal, we had backup generators and UPSs for things like WiFi routers and elevators.
We had 2 in our office closet datacenter and they definitely needed more maintenance than what I remember our coal burning furnace did

> Pricing something beyond its marginal cost of delivery is a restriction on your freedom?

No. Choosing to price something you own beyond its marginal cost of delivery is not a restriction on freedom.

What is a restriction on freedom is not allowing others to take something they have (a collection of words / pattern of bits / a SD card / a hard disk) and choose to give that away to others. The fact that in an internet-connected world allowing that will result in most people being able to acquire most files for no more than their marginal cost of delivery is a result of freedom, not a restriction on it.

It seems extremely unlikely that you can keep the price on any widely distributed collection of bits much above 0 for an appreciable length of time without governments intervening to remove that freedom of sharing and copying from people.
I thought their Sieve filter supported forwards, but it doesn't.
> Inflation-adjusting the nominal rise of prices that are causing inflation just hides the inflation. You can't analyze it that way

Actually you can not just analyze but neutralize it that way. If everyone agrees to a wage that is indexed to inflation, and then starts numerating prices in that inflation-indexed currency... suddenly you don't have inflation anymore.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plano_Real

Maybe the US is starting to get to the "inertial inflation" situation, with workers demanding wages accounting for expected future increases and companies starting to structure costs along those expectations as well.
what are the consequences for working on a side project if it’s open-source?

I get that if you work on it on company time, the company can demand any time spent from your wages. If you potentially put trade secrets into it they can ask for the work to be taken offline?

But what if the work is open-source, you didn’t put any trade secrets (and can prove easily, e.g. it’s a different domain)? Maybe you worked on it during company time, maybe using company equipment. Can the company ask for it to be removed from the public?

Moreover, what if you submit pull requests / contributions to existing open-source projects on company time? Surely the company can’t just take over the repo, who had no clue you were supposed to be working. But they can’t really “undo” the PR, even if they remove the exact code or even copyright the algorithm, because the information on how to implement it is already out there.

You can develop a days worth of vitamin D in 15 minutes (or simply supplement it for the same benefits), meanwhile excessive sun exposure is correlated with all manner of health problems, not the least of which is cancer. People who spend more time outdoors tend to die younger.

Again, progress trumps tradition.
Yes, they have been banned forever, and not just for size reasons.

In the end, it makes code very difficult to reason about.

It was a deliberate design goal of C++ exceptions that intermediate libraries/callers/etc do not have to be aware of, or handle, exceptions.
There is no way to verify or check that all exceptions are caught by someone, etc.
This is, as i said, deliberate.

This is quite nice in smaller systems, where you pretty much know every dependency and what calls will do.

But in larger, complex systems, where it is very hard to know or control every level of dependency, it is quite painful and fragile, because something 37 levels deep might suddenly throw new exceptions (or exceptions at all), violate 0 of the API guarantees that are being made[1], and start crashing your program in edge cases.

Among other things

[1] It's very easy for one library to say "we throw exceptions, something must catch them", and the dependent to say "we propagate all exceptions, we don't catch them". Even if something promises to catch them in the middle, it will very quickly get lost as it gets further away from the library actually throwing the exceptions.

The fact that you may be able to successfully assign blame or root cause to the problem doesn't help - being able to say something like "this library 36 levels deep in my dependency tree is not following best practices" is not a particularly helpful thing for development.
Their plan is to remove old text-only protocols, and force to use XAUTH or similar protocols that requires use of a web browser, so they can spy you with cookies and more metadata. Both Google and Microsoft are announced this movement.

The Case Against Education – Bryan Caplan [video]
This would be better written in a short story format but I digress.

This is precisely the type of thing that would probably happen in almost any society. There are many standards that pop up that are vestiges of one thing or another. The fact we get base 60 from Sumeria but use Base 12 or Base 24 for hours is not a big deal, weird things happen. I doubt any advanced alien would be just so flabbergasted over this. We have multiple cultures all over the world that count differently, so the assumption of base 10, just doesn't really make sense. All standards like time, counting, etc in any culture I think would be this mishmash of legacies from some people's that were dominant at some point that other people's culture imprinted upon that. If anything an alien race would probably be more suspicious if our calendar and time system was some perfect base 10 all through or something of that nature as if the cult of reason had dominated the world after the French Revolution.

Also the historical record of someone named Jesus existing isn't debated by any historical scholar I have ever heard of, just the messianic / prophetic / son of god nature seems to be the rub.
