You can queue cache refresh in the background if the object in cache is close to the "limit" of how fresh you want it to be. Need a bit of cleverness to avoid thundering herd problem but otherwise works pretty well.

Also if you really want near-real time you might want to actually push the updates directly to cache instead of relying client to trigger cache filling. cases where you need a ton of data and it served real-time and it's same object that constantly changes (and not say pointer to a position of video stream) are pretty rare

This is one of the most repeated pieces of advice I see, but, as a person who reviews CVs and does interviews, I would rather see the first point. From there, we would have a discussion about the technology you used and the features built for users. It could have been a dashboard that ultimately wasn't useful for users and had little to no result - I don't care. I care that you're able to build it.

One thing that FTX was doing was minting a new totally BS coin, putting out a small float but retaining the vast majority of it. Then propping up their financials using that completely illiquid asset as collateral. On top of that, allowing Alameda to front run announcements about different coins. There's no way FTX is the only one doing this. How such a thing is allowed is absolutely baffling. It's very Enron-mtm-esque.

>A two week hospital stay is orders of magnitude more than $10k, so presumably the $10k representes the out of pocket portion of the care.

No, that's not the case at all. We had to negotiate with the hospital and settled for this amount. The ACA covered none of it or a very small portion. I don't remember the actual bill, my wife dealt with all of it (she is a doctor and knows how to discuss such things with hospitals).
The main architect of the Japanese internment camps (out in Owen Valley California) was John J McCloy:

https://www.nytimes.com/1981/11/04/us/ex-aide-calls-japanese...

> "Mr. McCloy, one of the key Government officials who oversaw the relocation program, said he might again support the wartime resettlement of United States citizens because of their national heritage. The 87-year-old retired diplomat testified before the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians, which was charted by Congress last year to determine whether the 120,000 Japanese-Americans who were uprooted from their homes on the West Coast and relocated in camps in the East and Middle West in 1942 were entitled to compensation."

McCloy has an interestingly creepy history - head of the World Bank post WWII (1947-1949), High Commissioner of Occupied Germany (1949-1952) (where he released a lot of Nazi industrialists from prison, claiming they were just good anti-communists), Chair of the Council on Foreign Relations (1954-1969), member of the Warren Commission, which buried any real investigation into the Kennedy Assassination in 1963), Board Member of the Ford Foundation (which served in part as cover for CIA activities) then back to a Rockefeller-linked law firm for the rest of his career.

Most historical accounts show him pressing hard for internment, and FDR basically went along, not willing to fight about it. He defended the program up to his dying day:

> "''I don't like the word 'incarcerated,' '' Mr. McCloy replied. ''Well, all right, behind barbed wire fences,'' Mr. Marutani snapped. Mr. McCloy cautioned the commission, which is to report the findings of its inquiry to Congress next year, not to advocate policies that might someday prevent the forcible relocation of other American citizens because of ethnic background."

There are a staggering number of mandates and regulations around preventable medical errors. One that has been absolutely defining is CMS not compensating for healthcare-associated infections.

Also, many hospitals view things like infection control or antimicrobial stewardship as cost centers, and they're not doing nearly as much as they can.

The fact these people don't realize this kind of behavior is unacceptable is ironic considering they've been censoring everyone else's for years.

As long as you know it's unacceptable then it makes standing up an act of bravery. If you think it's dunk-on-the-man time because of groupthink and collective disdain then you'll likely be surprised by the consequences.
Any chances to see something similar to install Linux images (native, no chroots) to old Android tablets over the original OS? Some hardware wouldn't be supported, but I wouldn't mind not having for example video acceleration, audio and/or modem, if I could use an old tablet as a IoT screen or to show graphs from sensor data, etc.
Having a full OS, hence the ability to use multiple programming languages, libraries, etc would change everything.
I do think saying it's 71% faster makes sense here, since "x% faster" and "speed increased by x%" mean the same thing. This reduces the runtime by 42%, but that doesn't mean it's just 42% faster.
thats not what a ponzi scheme is.

a ponzi scheme reports a profit, and pays out that profit to early investors. (the payout is actually later investors inflow.)

the only one of the ones you mentioned that is actually a ponzi scheme is the "delivering a yield." its the yield delivery, aka dividend, that makes it a ponzi scheme, not just fraudulently running away with the money. the scheme works because people get paid out regularly, and have no reason to believe their money isnt working for them.
But are we really talking about "assets" here?

> … schools cranked out a lot of mediocre developers …

I attended a very reputable CS department (top 5 in the US) and there was very little instruction on actual development skills. Most of us were not skilled developers upon graduation and had to learn these skills in industry.

Now, there were a few, rare, lower tier schools that “cranked out” developers with say C++ skills or Java, but I found most of them to be mediocre within industry and quickly surpassed by the CS kids out of better programs.

Officially the increased sickness effect doesn't exist at all. We only have these sorts of anecdotes and vaccines can only be discussed occasionally on HN, and not at all on most other forums, so notes can only be compared rarely.

Unofficially the effect does exist and goes by various names: OAS, Hoskins Effect, immune imprinting. It can be seen in some of the vaccine effectiveness data back when it was being collected by places like the UK, where vaccinated people were getting COVID at 4x the rate of unvaccinated by the time they stopped reporting (and the rate was worsening with time).

It can also be seen in the boosters trial data where they had to switch the definition of success to antibody production, because the boosters were not actually reducing infection incidence e.g. the bivalent boosters were tested on all of 8 mice and all 8 got COVID when exposed so effectiveness is zero, but that didn't stop them being approved on the basis that they caused production of antibodies (to the variant targeted by the OG vaccine, not Omicron).

OAS unfortunately can be caused by any vaccine tech. It's not mRNA specific. The antibodies you produce are for the older extinct variants that the vaccine trained you for, not the current variants. The body doesn't recognize that there's a difference.
Came here to post the same. The book has a nice flow to it, or at least one which fit well with my personal thought processes. Named "patterns" (for lack of a better word) are introduced via examples that build upon each other, starting with simpler techniques and gradually becoming more complex.

How do you not bungle something you conceive, implement, and roll out to millions of users in 2 weeks (while in the middle of a massive wave of layoffs).
I'm not saying the employer is discriminating. Read my other reply to you, I think it clarifies better what I'm saying.

My argument is that, there's a great possibility that gender inequality persists today, and that it contributes to the gender gap. Not that I'm convinced it does for sure, but that it's still highly likely it does, based on research data and other reasonable hypothesis.

Therefore, some companies are trying to combat this possible inequality, by choosing to prioritize a similarly qualified women candidate over a qualified men, in order to limit the effect of possible hiring bias, and promote women representation in tech, in hope to make their workplace more women friendly.

If there is in fact lingering gender inequality, this should help combat it, and it's arguably a good thing (we can separately discuss if in practice it works to combat it or not, but at least it's understandable why they'd do it).

If it turns out there isn't any lingering gender inequality against women, I agree that this would appear to put a bias against men now, creating an inequality against them.

This is where it gets a little tricky, because now it's about your belief of the true cause. I see some men worried about their own career chances often believe that probably there isn't inequality and it's just personal choice. But I also don't understand why you'd worry about it in that case, if women just don't want to become programmers, no amount of policy encouragement would change that, and you've got nothing to worry about.

I also personally feel the evidence for lingering gender inequality appears stronger, and I think you can learn valuable insight by trying some corrective policies and also seeing the outcome. The more policies fail to reduce the gender gap, the more you learn the factors that have or don't have an impact on it, eventually that could lead us to know the real cause.

> How in the world is a balance sheet not a report that is generated by a system, viewable by any executive? Did they not have a CFO or any finance people or accountants?

Depending on your line of business, this is actually not a simple thing when you're trying to mark assets to market in a meaningful way. When everything you own is liquid, it's one thing. When things are less liquid, it's another. This is true even of completely legitimate businesses.
What I've seen as part of a solution to that particular problem is to shape/decorate the roads according to the speed you want people travelling at. That's more of the case in Europe than the US. For lower speeds, plant more trees along the road, add more swerve-y features like alternating street parking on the left and right side of the road (as seen in Switzerland); avoid large, long visibility areas, asking people to pay attention and slow down.

Making a 1mi visibility 2-lane each direction road with a 25mph is stupid, as it just won't be followed or if it is enforced - lead to endless frustration. Just use natural features to cause people to behave the way you want.
> How do you reconcile being a machine made of matter with the feeling that you're free to choose what you do?

First, accept the fact that "you" are _only_ that machine. No higher "soul".

The machine (you!) has free will in that it decides for itself, through physical processes occurring within it, what it wants - albeit with some outside forces, circumstances and other individuals influencing this anywhere from a bit to a lot.

You are this mostly-independent machine operated by physical forces. Therefore, you have free will.

A secondary question is whether the state of the universe and therefore of you the machine at time T also pre-ordains what you will do and what you will want at time T+1. I think a more interesting question is whether that actually matters in any practical or even metaphysical sense, given that we experience time linearly in the direction we do?

When you get enough people together, it's not enough to rely on the disincentive of individual prosecution to avoid bad actors. At scale, someone will think it's worth the risk or just not think at all and do something harmful.

This is why you can't open a bar without bouncers, or have an outdoor concert without on premise security. When you concentrate people together you simultaneously:

1. Increase the number of times you roll the dice with someone choosing to be harmful.

2. Increase the number of people within the blast radius (figurative or sometimes literal) of the bad actor who does.

You simply can't escape this fundamental law of human behavior. If you're building a system that aggregates people together—physically or virtually—you have an obligation to understand and deal with this.

> But there’s nothing egregious about Golang here . Pass by value vs reference is a common performance issue.

The trap here is that everything is passed by reference (pointer), but the intermediate local value is, well, a value (a copy).

Rule is not a gigantic monster struct (it's 72 bytes), chances are returning it by value would not have been an issue.

Anyway I would say there is an issue with Go here: it's way too easy to copy out of a slice.
In fairness UK conservative media have been reporting on it (Spectator, Telegraph). But it's being blamed on lockdowns and NHS collapse. That might be true; not all countries have excess deaths and it's a bit unclear to what extent the effect is real. It depends a lot on how you model the baseline.

Canberra Australia recently dropped the cbd speed from 50kph to 40kph and setup speed traps the same week. Apparently they made $2mil in revenue.

I think that speeding is bad, but cheap shots by law enforcement drive a deep us vs them mentality that makes people resent road law.

Surely ‘little Timmy died because someone was speeding, don’t kill little Timmy’ appeals to peoples emotions would work better, if law enforcement actually wanted to make a difference..
I think we are on the same page. Some people like to own and trade bitcoin. Some people like to own and trade Beanie Babies.

But they are pretty similar in that they will be worth whatever people want to pay for them in the long run.

Eric Weinstein had a great segment on his Portal podcast about this very thing. I can't recall the interview (maybe with Balaji?), but if it comes to me I'll comment it. The gist was that he was talking about Covid and he observed that the guest had to spend an inordinate amount of time saying what he was not saying, to the point of being absurd. He had to constantly preface his comments with a long series of statements of disassociation. "Now I'm not saying X, or Y, and I'm definitely not a P, and I don't agree with everything Z said but..." How can you have a conversation if so much time is spent not saying things?
There was a time not so long ago when you could never get an ICO to happen if you were not profitable for several years beforehand.

Keep in mind that regulation has been relaxed significantly each decade for a long time. There is a political party which exists almost entirely to eliminate regulation, and they boast about it. One would be led to believe that regulation was what was holding us all back from living full lives.

> It also doesn't help that there's a Twitter replacement (Mastodon) waiting in the wings

As much as I want to see Mastodon succeed, I don't see it ever happening. Its biggest feature (multiple instances) is also the biggest reason most users are never going to use it. It's just too confusing for the end user. Also it's bizarre that the one instance that actually has the potential to gain mainstream interest (mastodon.social) is not accepting new invites.

I'd put my money on something new taking Twitter's place way before Mastodon.
TBH, I tend to agree. Vaccines are readily available and most of us have been exposed to COVID at some point. By this point, there is little reason for behavior modification.

The boosters likely make sense for some people, but there's little real data on their effectiveness. Outside of the more vulnerable, I'd avoid them personally. The proof just isn't readily available of continuous boosters being worth it to me.
