When I was growing up computers were dumb and hard. To be a kid using a computer you not only needed to develop the smarts to be able to USE the damn thing, but to make use of it you needed to spend a lot of time...reading. As I got older things like iCQ and IRC were popular and generally you simply met other like-minded people and could generally get by on anonymity. Communities were far better, there was no such thing and "doing it for the <social media platform>". It was hard to melt your brain on albinoblacksheep or newgrounds because content wasn't released on a millisecond basis. You could realistically binge on these similar to kids today and be stuck waiting weeks to months before the next round of brain melting content came out. Don't get me wrong I played plenty of video games on the computer. However, I had to figure out how to even do that to get started. Moreover, we didn't have always-on internet. You called in and put a stupid phone on a machine. Then modems came out. Good luck binging on anything when your mom needed the phone to gossip with her friends. I suppose this is no different than any technical field. Once things are made easy enough a caveman can do it, the next generation loses the creativity and ingenuity their fore-bearers had.

Now, screen time is implied to be negative. As it should be. Your average kid's screen time is not sitting at a terminal trying to puzzle out how to make a computer work. They are not sitting watching 8 hours of programming videos, or math videos, or Carl Sagan's cosmos. They aren't listening to audiobooks of war and peace. They are, quite literally, melting their brain with the videographic equivalent of cocaine. I am of the opinion parents these days who allow their kids unrestricted time on TikTok/Facebook/Youtube/etc are doing them a major developmental disservice. The entire social media machine is powered by designed-in-a-laboratory techniques to keep you locked in. If an adult, with all their life experience, cannot resist such temptations expecting a child to do the same is non-sensical. It's gotten far too easy to not only use a computer, but to become hopelessly addicted to content farms via the "always-on" new world. Kids just aren't being kids anymore.

Times were different back then. Some people may disagree, but the "nerd" kids 30 years ago were smarter, faster, and better than such kids today. No different than our grandparents having to be the same way back when. They had to be. Now, things are easier. For better or worse. The same technology that could've raised the new generation to be even better than us was instead co-opted by advertisers to hopelessly addict children and adults to what amounts to just a different form of pornography (which, coincidentally was ALSO harder for us to get...I digress). I guess this is more of a thesis on the state of the world than just computers...it's all related.

As the parent mentioned, you need to consider their malpractice insurance and overhead, which isn't insignificant
Bingo. The fact that the law even allows for such a protection racket is an indictment of the law.
I keep hearing this claimed, but I have never met a physician in my life who would honestly say that, given acceptance to both an MD and DO program, he would pick the DO. It is widely viewed as an alternative path to becoming a physician if you cannot get accepted by an MD program and do not want to go overseas.
That there are thousands of graduated doctors that can't get residencies because they went to school in the Caribbean, needs to be resolved. Get them in residencies and we will be on an accelerated resolution path.
I think you're regarding Mathematica from a purely "theory/analytics" point of view, however I think you're missing the fact for a lot of scientific computing you want to interact with other things apart from numerics/analytics etc.. I believe that is really where Python shines and why it's also eating Matlab's lunch (more so than Mathematica's). It's incredibly easy to write a gui to interface with e.g. a scientific instrument do some reasonably fast analytics with numpy and possibly even produce publication ready plots. This is not really possible with Mathematica and while you can do this in Matlab, you need several toolboxes which are expensive, but more over are of extremely varying quality (let's not even talk about the horror of writing GUIs in Matlab). With Python, you have all of that for free, with a single tool (remember most scientists don't want to learn lots of programming languages).
Those curious, as I was, about what 'allopathic' and 'osteopathic' medicine are may benefit from this article:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_MD_and_DO_in_the...

My takeaway is that they are essentially the same today, but there was a much larger difference decades ago, centering around the patient as a focus of medicine vs the treatment of illnesses. Corrections and clarifications welcome.
This is a very small collection of toy datasets that this machine learning library includes for the purpose of illustrating the behavior of the library: http://scikit-learn.org/stable/datasets/toy_dataset.html

It’s out of the scope of this library to publish all datasets in existence or highlight particular datasets that are relevant to particular societal problems. It’s literally just a few datasets so that you can play around with the ML library without downloading any external datasets. I think it’s fair to allow them to exercise reasonable discretion in their choice of which toy datasets to ship with their ML library.
Right, but what most DOs actually do is just practice regular medicine, not osteopathy. (At least, the ones I interact with at major medical centers.) Like, unless you looked at the degree, you wouldn't notice.
There's an enormous amount of memorization of details. But, they also learn to reason... and explain their reasoning.

More importantly, simply regurgitating what experts say (within-class performance) isn't interesting because it's not going to convince anybody that it's going to make good decisions.

Disclaimer: I don't know Rust beyond println!("Hello World"); C is my preferred language for decades now.

The example Rust code in that linked post is just an absolute unreadable horror show. If that's representative of what it's really like to interop C with Rust or just write real Rust code in general, I'm strongly discouraged from bothering to put more effort into the language.

Can anyone skilled and experienced enough with Rust to judge what's going on there comment? Is the author just a noob making a mess of things as anyone can do in any language, or is this limited to C interop? Or is Rust normally such an inscrutably verbose disaster?

> Creating an unelected council of wise men because the people aren't capable of governing themselves -- if that was his best idea, you can see why he left the government

Bilderberg Group, Atlantic Council, World Economic Forum, and Trilateral Commission all popped up within a decade of him leaving government. While he didn't implement "his" idea, the next generation certainly did.
Seems to me you should setup SSO and do whatever compliance you need to do, and get those customers on board.
Putting unnecessarily gates in front making the process non-standard is not the opposite of hiding.. perhaps somewhere inbetween
> Nextjs 13.1 just added actual server-side middleware

the middleware has been available for awhile, they just added a few "advanced" features it looks like.

The problem with their middleware is that it's based on their edge runtime. Which is pretty much very basic web APIs and nothing more. Unlike Express/Koa, you do not have the full node API and cannot do things like read files from the filesystem. It's a total unnecessary clusterfuck just so Vercel can get you on their cloud services. Every single day I work with Next.js I wish I had Express and a decent router.
You are not considering the cost of graduate school and the opportunity cost of medical school + residency + fellowship (7-12 years), as well as malpractice insurance costs, long working hours, and on-call burden.
My understanding is that concrete is generally not used for highways in Canada because it doesn't hold up well in the yearly freeze-thaw cycle that the majority of the country experiences. Asphalt is used as it is more flexible, and also easier to repair (generally just filling cracks with tar) when the inevitable frost heave damage occurs.

Concrete is more durable (but it still needs to be maintained) and that is probably why it is used in parts of the U.S. where this is less of an issue. I can't make much comment on what other countries do though I have only noticed concrete roads in the US.
In France, Osteopathy is entirely different from conventional medicine and isn't taught in medical schools as it is considered to be unscientific. Also, osteopaths can't prescribe drugs. That being said, it's extremely popular among people who don't trust conventional doctors, or suffer from troubles that conventional medicine is unable to solve.

I don't know about the US medical system, but I'm a bit surprised about comments saying an osteopath is roughly the same thing an MD.

Edit: there's a dedicated page on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteopathic_medicine_in_the_Un...

> US DO graduates have historically applied for medical licensure in 87 countries outside of the United States, 85 of which provided them with the full scope of medical and surgical practice. The field is distinct from osteopathic practices offered in nations outside of the U.S., whose practitioners are generally not considered part of core medical staff nor of medicine itself.
Most likely an autodidactic exercise. I'd love to see the source, even if, or especially if, it's half-finished. Seeing someone work their way through the snarls in such a project would be useful.

That's what it is. You do scrum, you write your code, you do the work of 4 but earns as one.. and that's because its fun, t-shaped people don't like to stay in their comfort zone. /s
I think the so much more/hard to even describe is sort of a problem?

There is a lot to it, and in my experience it's a very long road to getting your first problem solved.

There are a lot of very cool pieces but I want it to be something I can pull off the shelf once in a while and be productive rather than something that I need to be an expert in before I can get started.
This failure is 100% on the government. Regulators should expect the guild to act in their own interests.

Ultimately, it's the government that makes it difficult to practice medicine without the correct credentials, for more or less good reason, which means that the government better make damn sure they don't screw it up.

It's probably not particularly possible to force one of the private entities to do anything. It should be plenty possible to empower an additional private entity (or substitute a public one).
Well of course they don't call it a protection racket or sandbagging supply when they're pitching it.

They make vague statements about quality of work, safety, keeping "bad guys" out, etc. and YouPeople(TM) eat it up without the slightest thought about the tradeoffs because you like the face value of what you here.
We should import massive numbers of doctors from overseas with a streamlined short-term training program to get them up to speed with how things are done in the US. If existing graduates get mad about the recent surge of workers in their field pulling wages down, some student loan forgiveness can be done for recent graduates most affected and most indebted.

Solve the problem with abundance.
So, the reasons are:

* I’ve been using it for a long time

* I have lots of friends that use it

* Even though I’m interested in other languages I don’t have time to learn them

These are all perfectly valid reasons! But, they say very little about Python.

And.. it's down. This happened the last time it was posted too.
It depends on the use. Both asphalt and concrete are widely used in the US, depending on the engineering demands.
I think this is actually a big difference between SWEs and programmers who are scientists/data scientists/analysts etc. first. In my experience, people with more formal education in programming find type systems to be very helpful, while people from other backgrounds, find them confusing and an nuisance.
The USA has possibly the best freight rail system in the world and it’s used extensively. Trucks pay a ton of tolls, licenses, and fuel tax.
The feature is bad. The non-invertibility means that you cannot get back the original data that was used to generate the feature, and try to salvage it.
Or to go one step further, phase out (outlaw) energy-inefficient programming languages like we do with high-emission cars.

I'm not advocating for it, but it's an interesting thought experiment.
> In retrospect, we should have recognized that as the US population increases the number of US medical graduates should increase.

I suspect the same problem exists among elite-tier university enrollment sizes.
Did I miss it or did this article not talk about the real issue - residency funding.

Who cares if MDs are restricted if you can still graduate DOs? The bigger issue would be funding for residency and the new competition (if you can call it that when a % are earmarked for foreign students) of foreign students for the already tight budget.
You’ve posted this multiple times in this thread, and not once has it been relevant to the point being made. You are sticking your fingers in your ears and deferring to a contextless tweet by a celebrity.
Unbelievable that in this country we effectively let the medical union entirely gatekeep the qualifications to practice. It's a legally sanctioned cartel, and should be taken to task on RICO grounds.
Yes, I can certainly agree that Tarot cards in the sense you mean -- the same sense as jogging, taking a shower or doodling on a piece of paper -- can help one's mind become unstuck on a problem.

But how many Tarot readers are going to agree with your interpretation? You know they trade on the occult.
Interesting that while US population increased over the last century, at least the percentage of agricultural workers actually sharply decreased.

Somehow productivity among medical professionals - also taking into account increased demand - didn't increase fast enough to get to similar decreases of doctors per capita.
Close, but not exactly. One of its variables is how far its integration differs from 63% Black, squared.

I.e., you cannot distinguish a 73% black neighborhood from a 53% black neighborhood with this variable.

It's a bizarre variable and I guess I could see purging the column or at least suggesting it not be used, but I don't really understand why you'd delete the rest of the (sample) dataset on this basis.

I'm pretty sure I would, for what it's worth. I do appreciate your willingness to guarantee frustration.

I'm thinking more pre-planned stationary observation for sure though.
Is that a joke? If it is I don't get it. If it isn't I don't understand what the relevance is, since Ted Bundy was never to my knowledge in medical school.
Hm, that's a good point. I forgot about the free travel within the EU. Still I recall that 5 or 6 years ago, there were checks at the Romanian-Hungarian border.

After doing some research, it seems that while Romania is in the EU since 2007, it, together with Bulgaria are not yet in the Schengen Area, so there should still be a border between Romania and Hungary.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area#Temporary_border...

But even if countries don't keep particularly __good__ records about persons passing their borders, I find it hard to believe that Romanian authorities used the video from a tweet to confirm Tate's presence in the country.

EDIT: Moreover, I've got the impression that the Tates are not the type of people to travel internationally by car. I imagined they flew in and out of Bucharest.
People should stop over-using CloudFlare for everything. IMO it is not good for IFS "hosting", either.

They act like gatekeepers. Along with blocking, as in this case, they make browser assumptions that force visitors to use one of the most recent mainstream "approved" and unmodified browsers.

For other browsers, they serve "Checking if the site connection is secure" with javascript fingerprinting and a captcha, and sometimes even solving the captcha won't let me in. i have also seen frontends misbehaving due to them not expecting cloudflare error response codes.

Some dvelopers apparenly just blindly enable cloudflare and don't care. :(

There is one DPI setting per X server I think, and I use 192 because I have two 4k screens. Which forces me to xrandr the 1440p display at 2160p then output a blurry 1080p to match the 4k screens at 2x scale.

As for why use scaling, I can't read anything at 4k native and the UI elements don't scale correctly with the font dpi. Windows has fully functional 150% and 175% options (one of the few things Windows does well now) and in MacOS has really nice global super-sampling options between 1080p-1440p hidpi.

RGCosm – Reverse Geocode for OpenStreetmap
I recently made a purchase at a friend's small brick and mortar retailer using a credit card. He texted me a couple days later thanking me for the support.

Turns out the shop has a Square cash register, and for cc transactions Square provides any email addresses associated with that card, provided the customer has "opted in".

Similarly, I purchased an air compressor at Lowes a few months back. Lowes has been emailing my wife about the air compressor pretty regularly, as she used that card (mine, not joint) for some online shopping a few months prior. Good thing it wasn't a surprise for her.
It will just raise shipping costs and therefore raise the cost of goods. By charging trucks more it creates a regressive tax effectively. By subsidizing them this is a way we utilize socialism to ensure lower wage people have access.

Oh, ok. I thought you said something else for a second.

This is interesting... but please be aware publishing data on these things changes it, since the fetish community is full of weird little edgelords who poop themselves in fear (rather than as part of some mutually agreed upon sex game) when they realize you weren't kidding when you told that cutie in Bloomington that Armin Meiwes did nothing wrong and that next time you don't want to just dry fire their wonder nine.

And if you really want to have fun, do as Kinsey did and have them flip a coin and only be truthful if it's heads, then double your sample size to compensate. That's how you gather truly useful data that will keep you entertained long after your IRB certification expires ;-)
There's a whole world of engineering that standard software dev work relies on, that we're isolated from. It's rewarding to have the curtains pulled back every once in a while to appreciate the complexity of it all.
Exactly. The time spent developing a solution for your problem in pretty much any other language is going to cost magnitudes more than processing millions of documents in python. And that’s ignoring the ongoing maintenance where the hackability of teasing data out of PDFs in ipython is going to top any other system.

I have a soft spot for the work you’re doing since I’ve spent a good portion of my life now extracting data from PDFs and can appreciate the joys of the process more than most.
No, I'd count Zig as having more of an "open ended" type system / philosophy.

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(...)`.

The biggest ones for me in Rust is that it disallows extending traits for types you don't own, and the lack of function overloading. Neither of those are required for the borrow checker or safety, but it's a philosophical design decision.

Fridays generally are slow for very normal human reasons. Especially afternoons like this one.

We have an interesting setup where we do every other Friday off - the logic being that we combine 2 slow Friday afternoons into an entire day off. Everybody gets a 3 day weekend twice a month for longer breaks or road trips.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how it’s panned out in practice. Feels like a nice middle ground.
There are a number of areas out in eastern Washington where the state patrol doesn't often bother with speed enforcement and people routinely go even faster. It is common to have packs of cars going up the left lane over Manastash Ridge at closer to 100 mph. With a closure rate of about 70 mph on the trucks in the right lane. One way to make an otherwise monotonous drive more interesting.

Ah, that does ring a bell. I knew a guy that went full Nationalist Socialist Party/MAGA (not equivocating, he got into both things simultaneously lol) back in 2015 and I remember him all of a sudden making a lot of helicopter jokes before I cut ties with him.
The epoch "zero time" on most hardware RTC is decades in the past.

Thus, it is generally a safe assumption to check if the system release date is in the future. One often doesn't want to trip this fix every boot as it can have collateral consequences in poorly written software.

We have a no time-travelers policy in most situations, and recommend others try to also constrain transactional-validity temporal-windows. Some hardware fakes an RTC by writing the current time to a cache file on disk on power cycles, but it would take a hour to explain why this is unwise (even if using GPS stratum time). =)
ah so that makes sense
Nvidia revives canceled RTX 4080 as 'new' 12GB RTX 4070 TI
I've used Mypy since 2016 on big as well as small codebases, and it has been extremely useful for me. It caught numerous bugs at typecheck time. The benefits of better readability and e.g. better jump to definition and autocomplete are harder to quantify, but subjectively they feel substantial. If you are gradually annotating a big codebase, it does require a "critical mass" before types start to pay off, I agree that adding them later can be painful.

Mypy's type system is quite advanced compared to some statically typed language like C and Go; it has generics, union types, inference, and it can prove properties of types from control flow. I work mostly in Rust, Haskell, and Python, and I rarely find Mypy limiting.

You do have to embrace types though; if you have a dictly typed program where everything is a Dict[str, Any], then putting that in annotations isn’t going to be very helpful; converting the dicts to named tuples or dataclasses is.
