In my experience with surgery for family members, surgeons want scheduled surgeries early because they have a shit ton to do. The brain surgeon was rallying the troops at 5:30am and was pissed they were already behind on the first surgery. He needed to do the scheduled surgeries early because he needed to have a certain amount of time for emergency surgeries. If those occurred early, then he could push the scheduled surgeries later. If the emergencies occurred later, then he’s done with the scheduled surgeries by then.

Then in the late morning and rest of the day, it was patient rounds and consultations, teaching at the local medical school, and performing research. Guy was a machine and on another level. I don’t know when he was ever able to have a non-medical or patient related thought.
Also being against the wars and interventions in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc. Organizing and striking and protesting for labor rights. Environmental activism, protesting slavery and slave labor.
This is so unpleasant, but I still wonder whether this isn't focusing efforts on the wrong thing, when removing regulations that prevent new housing being built would not only reduce the leverage that landlords have, but also reduce the number of people paying rent to live in a place long term. We need to bring housing prices down so that people aren't handing over a lifetime of surplus wealth to people who are already richer than they are.
The solution is not to create ever more complicated adjustments but to make sure that all children get great education (and nutrition) from early childhood, even if they are disadvantaged at home.

Rolling it up from the other side by giving top college spots to kids who were disadvantaged in the first place never made sense to me.
This has been researched and found impractical. First you have power conversions solar > electric > microwave > electric. Then the microwave transmission receiver has to grow at the square of the distance. Receivers need to be huge on the order of kilometers. Also to be stationary to the ground the satellites need to be in geo orbit making the distance huge.

What am I missing?
For those missing context, I believe this is a reference to California high schools which provide free lunch to students (and I guess this doesn't happen in Texas...?)

(The pitfalls you mention running into there wrt to different compiler instances is itself a decent case study in not relying on singletons <http://www.object-oriented-security.org/lets-argue/singleton...>—even if it ultimately wasn't so inconvenient that the work never got done, it would be even more convenient if it didn't need to have been done in the first place!)

You know how if you punish a dog, it doesn't really learn and get better? Humans are like that too.

Theft is heavily correlated with the economy. Arguably it's a canary in the mine - you can very usually tell what's going to happen in the macroeconomics of an area by just following crime statistics.

"Deterrence" has generally been found to be a pretty well-rooted myth. Majority of theft also happens by people who _don't actually know what the consequences are_. So just increasing them doesn't actually help.

If you can show strong evidence that prison is one of the best ways of reducing crime, then sure you've convinced me (and probably plenty others).
This theft is so costly and prevalent in my neighborhood, it's like $2,500 per 100 people. In 2 years, I've had mine stolen twice.

Property is not worth a life. Not even the life of the person damaging it. Property can be replaced, a life can not.

Besides, there’s way too much margin for error in vigilante justice. That’s why we have trials, imperfect as even they may be. They’re certainly better than empowering everyone to be judge, jury, and executioner because they thought you might be committing a property crime.
I broadly agree, but if I'm reading your suggestion correctly I think that "access" list is too coarse-grained still! It looks like you're suggesting a predefined list of permissions that can be granted to a dependency, but... why not go even further? If the list of things you're passing in are references rather than strings, then you could do...

const apollo = require('apollo-client', {fetch});
const stringutils = require('stringutils');

That way, you can pass in at a very fine-grained level any object you want to, including things like `fetch` and `fs`. But then, you could just as easily pass in a custom `loggedFetch` module like so, that wraps `fetch` and logs all network requests made:

const apollo = require('apollo-client', {fetch: loggedFetch});

This is the object-capability security model, and as a sibling commenter pointed out, LavaMoat basically does this for JavaScript dependencies. (This is also basically just lexical scope, by the way, if your language is strict enough - though most unfortunately aren't.)
And, it'll be awesome. In the short term, the few black kids and women who end up in engineering will get respect for making it into the program.

I think that if you paid for your home with criminal activity you should forfeit that to repay the victims of your crimes. If your legal and illegal stuff is together, tough shit.
Just a layman here but I know plants use color temp as a signaling mechanism (e.g. to help determine time of year - warmer color temp in spring/fall) so I'd expect some variation between species in how that signal is interpreted and used.
I worked on this project a few years back, on the power transmission bits. It's pretty cool from the engineering side; the mechanics need to be very light, and unfold into a large area. The beaming part is just a large phased array. The hardest bit is likely high efficiency, cost effective PV cells that can survive in space, but this is a field that Atwater has been in a long time, and is very, very good at.
Idk, we are still in the digital transformation and customers are now easier to reach from anywhere. Add in AI tools and tooling. People will still want to wire these things up. There will always be value at the customer interface. There will also always be open source and then new companies building on open source. We have many multiple database vendors. Multiple OS vendors etc...

I remember the Windows shrink wrap days and everyone predicting doom, and then the internet happened. Next is AI and then the metaverse most likely.

I think the future is bright.
I'll be the token "I'm fine with Wi-Fi" guy.

I had my "Ethernet whenever possible" phase, but when I moved my office because the kids got old enough to need their own rooms I was dreading rewiring This Old House. And then I figured out that I could reliably stream Blu-ray movies at their original on-disc bitrate from my Plex server to my Apple TV while everybody else was FaceTime-ing, playing Roblox, etc., and just sort of didn't worry about it again. (Implementation notes: I do have one direct 10GbE connection between my workstation and my NAS, and I did move to a mesh Wi-Fi system to solve a coverage issue in a far corner of the house.)
I think it's the case that modules are the future; but the main focus of this change was not actually performance at all. We've been wanting to be able to dogfood the modules experience (used by most TS devs) for a long time. The fact that it turns out to be so much faster is a really great side effect.
> Once AA is overturned, that's it—hands off the scale

Or change it so it is not race based. Instead make it geographical.

Say you want to admit 1000 students from the US. Partition the US into 1000 districts, with 1 student admitted per district.

Gerrymander the district boundaries to make sure that you get the racial demographics you want.

Have fun watching the Supreme Court try to explain why that is not OK but it is OK to gerrymander congressional districts to ensure Black people are underrepresented.

To make it explicit, this is a very perverse incentive, because essentially, the housing crisis getting worse leads to more resources for them (and vice versa)!

I'm not sure what this comment means.

The US doing something bad 200 years ago doesn't justify the bad actions of today. Either it is bad in both cases or it is okay/good in both cases. It is unclear which you are saying because I'm interpreting it as whatbaoutism. That's not productive nor in good faith. Especially referencing something that happened 200 years ago. There were a lot of bad stuff that we did 200 years ago and that doesn't matter who "we" is. Thomas Jefferson was still Secretary of State at this time. The nation was less than 20 years old. That applies to literally every country on the planet. We've all progressed.

But also, this problem was resolved by 1836, when foreigners could be granted patents. Thomas Jefferson had only been dead for 10 years by this time. This is still decades before the civil war and a century before America became part of the global stage. There were only 25 US states at this time and it wasn't long after the Louisiana Purchase happened. Decades before Texas was annexed. So I'm extra confused.

This comment too feels like bait because I can't find any relevance to the conversation at hand. It appears to be pure distraction and not in good faith. No one is saying America didn't do a lot of bad shit in the past (Americans are pretty open about our historical atrocities). But in absolutely no way do historical atrocities justify actions of today. I mean what, are you going to say that the Trail of Tears justifies genocide of Ughygurs or that it justifies Hitler killing the Jews? Clearly it doesn't. All these things are wrong. Now and then. One historical wrong doing in absolutely no way shape or manner justifies modern wrongdoings.

Please don't astroturf.
are well known as being right-wing. and all of them are support organs for capitalism

If anyone who believes in capitalism is "right-wing", sure. But by US standards, these are center left publications (like unofficially Democratic party affiliated left, not Bernie/Socialist/Occupy left).

If you want to call them right-wing, show me an article critical of global warming, endorsing a republican besides Liz Cheney, or acknowledging Trump did at least one good thing (without caveats or apologies).
Really interesting idea! Art & graphics is probably the part of game development that solo devs most commonly underestimate the importance and difficulty of (well, maybe tied with marketing). For solo devs especially, it's really rare to be a strong programmer and a strong artist. So you end up with a lot of games that are conceptually interesting but not particularly enticing to look at.

Using Stable Diffusion to get fairly high-quality art in a style you like could be a game changer for devs who can do game design, programming, marketing, etc. but just haven't spent 10 years of their life training their art skills. I guess animations / sprite sheets may be hard for Stable Diffusion, but if you can design your game around that you may be all set!

Edit: I was curious and searched "stable diffusion game graphics" and found this cool video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blXnuyVgA_Y The results are great! I wonder if it can do more stylized art too like pixel art

The law in Texas that it’s illegal to teach classes was instituted specifically to punish the Germans.

My point was this:

Is a cell deterministic? Is the physics on which cells operate deterministic? From my understanding, yes

What does that mean for neurons? Those must be deterministic, which means that the complex organisms which cells create are also deterministic. Their behaviors is entirely deterministic

In the US, basic utilities like power or water or gas are often handed off to a private company in a local area.

It is understood that these expensive and pervasive infrastructure projects are natural monopolies - it is much more efficient to have one provider than a competitive market. Imagine what a mess it would be if you had several sets of water pipes and power lines running through your neighborhood.

For one reason or another, local governments often let someone else manage all of that. Ostensibly, the tradeoff is that the utility company should be more heavily-regulated than a normal company would be.

But there is also some overlap between areas, and sometimes a handful of competitors are allowed to share physical infrastructure, so in practice it's more like a hodge-podge of hyperlocal oligopolies.
As a STEM academic, I can say that I've never seen or heard of ongoing AA for men in any STEM program in any institution whose policies I'm acquainted with. So it seems to me to be misleading to claim, or at least hard to believe, that very many men in college have been beneficiaries of AA for men.
I want to be as productive as possible while working. What I don't want is to be as productive as possible while living. So tools that integrate work into non-work aspects of my life end up turning my whole life into endless work; for some people that might be fine -- and it used to be fine for me 2 decades ago, but it's not fine anymore.

> Rigidly defined development environments breed fragile systems. They are enticing, for often rapid onboarding of new developers. However, not having the churn of letting new people onboard their setup to the system loses on an anti fragile mechanism.

> This is ignoring the removal of control from your developers. Autonomy of tool choice is an amazing boon to job satisfaction.

> Which is not to say that a cloud environment should not be used. Just don't homogenize the setup.

IMO, there is a good middle ground.

I agree with you on stuff like editor/ide and base OS. But I think there can be great advantages to having everyone do development in docker/VM such that the environment matches prod.

Many doctors nudge, or even push, decisions towards things that are convenient or good for them. Time table for the birth, treatment that enriches them... This includes unnecessary surgeries and labor inducement.

The decision is left up to the mother, sort of. Inside the hospital is an environment that the doctors are very familiar and the mother, not. It is very interested in following procedure, within which the doctors orders are held in high regard and the woman's desires not so much.

If you try to buck the desires of the hospital+doctor you had better have a will of steel and a willingness to walk out. Ornery nurses and doctors can make your stay an absolute hell.

In retrospect, this guy is practically the prototype of villain in healthcare. He's Eric Lander levels of villainy.

He shouldn't be considered a credible voice just out of corruption. There are many doctors who can write.

Consider his role at Partners (now "Mass General Brigham"): overseeing the growth of a notoriously money grubbing institution, run anticompetitively, despite the excellence of its providers. He has parlayed... saucy New Yorker writing into becoming the very hospital administrator who is responsible for all the fuckups he shits on.

Trust me, if he has something to say about, I don't know, fucking childbirth, it has been known to everyone for years. The difference is his presence in The Magazine New Yorkers Care About lets him omit anything shitty to say about himself and his Partners.
No it doesn’t. Open community doesn’t have to be open source. Open source doesn’t have to have an open community.

By the OSI definition, most of android is in fact open source. However, much of it is thrown over the wall after a release. Don’t conflate the two.
I respectfully disagree. I think VR is about in the same place experience-wise. PSVR has Beat Saber. And the social experiences (I'm assuming you mean VRChat and such) are... just fine, in my opinion? And I definitely have long-distance relationships where it makes sense. The novelty wears off quick and being isolated and with an uncomfortable headset on is a non-negligible cost vs video/voice/text.
