You can’t overlook the fact that doctors also work about 1.5–2x standard work hours. About 60 hrs/week is on par for most doctors. Many surgeons will be putting in 80 hrs/week or else take a pay cut. Adjusting for that in addition to cost of medical school and time spent in school and residency (7–11 years after college), I don’t think the salary is really that substantially different.
There is nothing to articulate or to "agree to" here. Just read the basic facts.

This is how distance is measured in cities with public transit…

“It’s about 30 mins on the subway, etc”

Giving miles for distance between things in dense metros is worthless for people who want to know how long it will take to get somewhere.

What is car centric is giving distances between far apart cities in miles. That’s only meaningful for someone with a car who knows how fast they can drive roughly on the highway.

A more efficient plow can increase agricultural yields and a machine that can automatically core apples will remove the need for people to core the apples -- is there an equivalent for medical diagnostics?

To deliver the mind control fluoride, duh. Or wait, that's too wild. To monitor the viral load of the sewage to justify freedom destroying lockdowns.
An overly-simplistic explanation may be that most engineers don’t care about “how red a red is”, whereas most designers are super interested in their reds being very red.

Both camps can be very vocal, but most of us probably hover around other engineers and sparingly around designers.
I am a bit torn. I attended a talk by Toman and he mentioned that, apart from having a spotter on the passenger seat, they have many spotters along the entire way and also use drones and thermal cameras to spot cars, so they always know ahead of time what's coming. In particular, he said that they slow down to legal speeds whenever they get near another car.

Given all that, I don't think the risk is that crazy high anymore but I do see where you're coming from.

What makes me uncomfortable here is the obscure description of the issue and how the obscurity will affect beginners and young minds. Kids with an interest in data science are going to read this and find it baffling, and the references won't help much. They will get the impression that ethics in machine learning is some sort of abstruse field that they can't reason about on their own, so they need to be told what is ethical by experts.

Contrary to the cited Medium post, including race, integration, or racism-related factors as predictors of housing prices doesn't imply that it's okay for those drivers to exist in reality, or that the model is suitable for some real-world deployment where it might affect real prices. That is not the only use case; such a model could just as easily be used to imply that those factors are bad. Such a model could play a role in a disparate impact case fighting against racism.

I don't love how the dataset creators only included B and not the underlying untransformed value, and I agree that it's based on a questionable theory about how integration affects housing prices. These issues could be taken as sufficient cause to stop using the dataset, especially when better alternatives are available. But calling them ethical issues seems either puzzling or wrong. Problematizing something should ideally come with an accessible public explanation of why it is problematic. Ethics should not be obscure.
Same arguments that any trade guild makes, but most guilds were working- and middle-class affairs. The powers that be only seem to accept these arguments when they're made by the upper-crust of society. Like favours like and all that I suppose.
Well, I would put it back like why would it? When you understand how these things work, does it sound anything like what humans do? When prompted with a question, we do not respond by predicting words that come next based on a gigantic corpus of pre-trained text. As a professional programmer, do you think Human intelligence works like a Turing machine?
the wayland folks were the folks who worked on xorg for the most part, so that doesn't make sense.
This is an impressively responsible way of handling the situation, and I'd recommend that others read it as well. It identifies the specific problem with the dataset which led to its removal from the library (with references!), tells the user how to retrieve it if they really need it, and suggests alternatives.
In the PNW we commonly use porous asphalt (so the rain doesn't build up and cause hydroplaning) as well. A few interstates still use concrete. I wouldn't be surprised if that had something to do with weather and related maintenance requirements. I-90 being a pretty good example.

This works especially well if you test the python version as you go, then run the same python tests against the C++ replacement. The up front bother of pybind or similar is minor relative to not having to recompile the C++ to iterate on test scripts.
you are describing an asphalt microseal over the entire road surface. they are describing sealing of cracks using asphalt "tar snakes". They address different problems.

Road resurfacing improves stopping distances and rough rides if the road is overall in ok condition. If the road has large cracks in it this does nothing

Tar snakes are used to seal cracks from water because after rain the movement of vehicles over the wet subgrade under the road creates a pumping effect that ejects subgrade material out from the cracks and causes potholes in the future.
like others have said, you'd probably write a JSON API separately. One thing I'll mention though, is that the conventional design of Phoenix to use context modules often makes that very easy, in that your liveviews and API can just call the same business logic functions to crud resources.
> If you had a million of them to process thats 4 hours

If you had 20 bank accounts sending you monthly statements for 100 years you'd have 24,000 of them. 50ms each would take you 20 minutes to process the 100 year backlog.

If you have a million of them to process then you're a bank or similar type of institution that can devote resources to this, either computational or developer time to optimize things. A 128 core c6a.32xlarge would turn the runtime from 4 hours into 1.9 minutes and cost $5 to run for an hour.
There are four pigs at the trough of US healthcare. Insurance companies, drug/medical device makers, lawyers, and doctors/AMA.

Here we have the AMA / profession of doctor restricting the supply for absolutely no good reason. Complicit in this? How many of the medical schools are state universities and receive federal funding for education AND via payment for services? Outrageous.

I've personally worked for an insurance company, a device maker, and had a roommate that was a specialist doctor, so I have some familiarity of each of those three pigs.

Insurance companies present low profitability to the stock market, but have GIGANTIC executive classes and executive compensation. The MBA class controls the profits there.

Medical device/drug makers have both a gigantic MBA vampire caste, and device monopolies via patents and other tricks that produce their huge profitability and cost. Many of those companies were started by pure engineer/bioscience people in the beginning but long have been taken over by the MBA finance people and basically perform rent seeking and cartel economics.

Medical providers in the US are so strongly incentivized towards specialization. Would you rather make 100,000$ as a vanilla doc, or 500-700,000 a year as a specialist? Yeah.

The fourth, trial lawyers, seem to be the most hated, but I suspect it is the smallest of the four, but it is the one I have the least direct experience with.

Of course, who's fault is the high cost of medical care? Point at the other three pigs at the trough.

The only good news, and this is true of almost all policy in the US, is that there is opposition between the insurance providers to control costs, and the providers/drug companies to increase revenue.

But insurance companies are on the forefront of denial of service to its customers (DEATH PANELS!!!!), as well as monopolization of local hospitals/facilities to increase their margins as well.
House price prediction for prices in 1970s Boston, yes, where housing prices almost certainly reflected racist preferences. That seems like a (potentially) accurate model?

ML models could also learn that the correlation between B and price is negative (i.e., that integration improves house prices). But the critics of the dataset all suggest that B and price are positively correlated.
The way to do this is a modest hospital tax.

That way the funding is scaled to the size of the industry without reevaluating it year to year.
I really don’t get this, personally. I’ve worked in Java, Ruby, Typescript, Elixir, JS, and a bit of Elm and I literally never feel like I’m missing anything by not having static types in Elixir. This is doubly true with web based projects.

What are people looking for that they might get from static types?
> Antisemites aren't a disfavored minority, the Jews they're hating on are.

Are you saying that:

1. the majority of the population of <Western European Country X> are antisemites

or

2. antisemites aren't disfavored

because I would say that both of these are false. Few people are antisemites, and antisemites are strongly disfavored to the point of having their speech made illegal - and "punch a nazi" is a meme.

I generally agree. There are some scenarios where NPs or PAs are useful. Some may even be good. My personal experience has found them lacking... multiple times. And the charge has been the same since the practice is the one billing and charges the same whether you see a doctor or other provider.
Read a few pages and this looks useful, thanks.
The failure is on the people who don't harass their politicians and make noise when the politicians cave to the guilds' lobby.

Seriously, try arguing against time consuming and expensive professional license requirements, let alone for relaxation of current requirements around here and see where it gets you.

Mostly asphalt here in Melbourne. No freeze-thaw cycle, but anecdotally the few concrete roads I have driven on are pretty rough and the repairs don't appear to be very effective.

Some highways (eg. west part of A2) in Poland are concrete too. (not to mention post-German concrete highways, but I think they are already gone)

> Though, it looks like Zig doesn't do function overloading either [1]. That's a disappointment. So you end up with `array_count`, `map_count`, etc instead of just `count`. In my way of thinking that's more work reduces readability. It's one of the paint points of C vs C++ to need `array_list_count` and `hash_map_add` instead of just saying `vec.insert(...)`.

Zig doesn't have function overloading but it does have namespaced functions, so you can define your types and your "methods" on them.

> a) No. If 50% of the community is African-Americans and live on one half and everyone else on the other then it would be exactly integrated. Except of course it isn't.

IIUC, you're arguing that "whole-town" level aggregation is misleading. So if we get more granular, we could do it my neighborhood, street, building, apartment/car/shelter, bedroom, bed, bed @ time of day, etc.

Any one of those aggregation levels could hide interesting distinctions that could be made if only the data were reported with even more granularity.

So are you arguing against aggregation in general? Or just whole-town aggregation specifically?
It's a backwards-looking explanation though in this instance, and so subject to explanations and recollections which frame the purchaser as not having been fooled but rather <something more noble>.

I think there's a jurisdictional issue for Austria to get Cloudflare to do anything at all.

So the court says "fine, just block Cloudflare's servers at all Austrian ISPs. Perhaps that will get their attention."

See, Cloudflare wants it both ways: They don't want to have to tell rights-holders who their free-tier, movie-thieving customers are, but hey, that doesn't mean you should block their servers. Right?
Logging is a cross-cutting concern, and most code bases employ a logger such that it violates the DRY principle. Any particular logger shouldn't be difficult to replace in a system. The issue is that developers conflate "logging" with "something happened that must be known." The former being a text message, the latter being an event. The advantage of using an event is that it decouples how the logging transpires from the information about the event. When done well, this can isolate logging to a single line of code in the code base, which is far easier to maintain than countless repetitious logger.debug(...) statements.

I've blogged about this to mixed reception:

If it's that important, just make a new tax and stop dicking around with this "oh it would be so nice if companies would just donate out of the goodness of their hearts hint hint" nonsense. It's pretty clear that 99+% of for-profit companies have zero interest in paying for things that developers will (apparently) also develop for free.

Society figured out a way of forcing people to pay for common goods a long time ago, and it's taxation.
It’s a mystery indeed. Interestingly Swedish physicians made a very similar mistake in the same time period. The consequences for those who made it was of course very positive.
Regulators are the fifth pig. The amount of resources that flow and careers that exist to make sure all the paperwork involved in this bloated mess is filled out properly probably counts for at least as much as the lawyers.
For me personally, this is not the case. I work in multiple languages, some static, some not. And I have as many bugs in the one as the other. I add strings to numbers less in static ones, but I tend to make more design mistakes, because I have to steer through the constraints of the type system.

I view "must have static types/compile time checking" types as a bit reductionist. It's like saying "all food must be seasoned with salt." Salt's a good seasoner. For some meals, it's a must have. For others, it's a nice to have. And for others, it actually detracts. Compile time checking fits in the larger context of what programming in a given language is all about. Syntax, libraries, ecosystem, tools, execution semantics, runtime components. All of these compose for an end result. And typing plays a different role for each composition.

I've been doing Elixir off-and-on for about 1.5 years now. The community is great. If I personally, had to lobby for "next big thing", it would be having a real IDE. I did Smalltalk for 20 years. I want an IDE where I work in modules/functions, not files and do/end syntax. I want a formatter that is not a PHD paper on generalized layout. I want refactoring tools. Inline macro expansion visibility. If I were independently wealthy, I would work on just such a thing in my spare time.

ElixirLS and VSCode are OK, but so so limited really.

What makes Elixir a standout candidate for a killer IDE experience is it's simplicity. Simple execution models make the language easier to model, navigate, and so IDEs don't need parse engines that are constantly needing updating (I'm looking at you Kotlin/Compose). Elixir as a language eats its own dogfood. It's sad to me that the Xerox Parc folks exploited this so beautifully with Smalltalk, but Elixir is stuck in the file editor mode still. :(

Ok. Given the context, lack of plausible mechanism for explaining the observed difference, and lots of obvious possible confounding variables that have not been controlled, I would lean towards "nothing to see."
Hard to judge. In Python it's very easy to create nice porcelain APIs for powerful frameworks because you can hide complex behaviors behind operators. Imagine Pandas or Django without overloaded access operators.

This is not the case in Go.
Type hints are basically for documentation and metadata. You also find a bunch of third party libraries and frameworks, like pydantic, fastapi, etc. that makes use of them.

The biggest problem is that the dataset contains an artificial feature that is not invertible. This is an issue because the biases of the author of the dataset are present in that feature, and you will never be able to "train" your way out of it because it is not invertible.

You are, of course, correct. I gave it a better shot.
Maybe this is true. But honestly, we don't have that many roads in the PNW that are concrete. It was when I lived in the midwest that I noticed them everywhere. I really don't care for them. In the PNW we have relatively few, but the weather here is milder than the midwest. Not sure what that says about the freeze-thaw hypothesis.
That’s unfortunately true. “The purpose of a system is what it does.”
