You hear both sides, likely the "doctors could hardly be bothered" might be in fact due to some doctors being overworked.

I was in the A&E (what is the ER in singapore and the UK I think) and I had severe chest pain due to chest infection. There were like 40 of us in there and like 5 nurses that one nurse just blew me off when I asked for pain killers because she didn't read my record properly and thought I took acetaminophen that morning. It took the pain getting worse to the point I was rocking and screaming for them to give me tramadol. that said, I sympathize with the situation, given they were running around and hardly able to fill out the paper work and do their normal tasks AND be attentive to the sick.

That said, hey I hear you. That doctor fucked up and it was on them yes, it does not absolve them. That said, things sure are getting worse in total across the system in the US, and bad attitudes doesn't explain nationwide scales. For that, you must look at systemic solutions, especially if you don't want more people to die in such situations again.
There is no such "substantial" evidence. If there really was scientifically agreed upon "substantial" evidence, then it would be world-shattering news.
In what way are we working to lower the barrier of entry into medical practice? How do we create safe ways for diagnosis and treatment to be accomplished without need for a human medical practitioner?

Who is trying to make level 5 AI doctors?
Also, right on red means those drivers are so preoccupied with looking left to see if traffic is clear they never even glance to their right until after they have completed their turn and are accelerating. Non-automobile users beware.
The food system is sh*t. All these problems in healthcare are downstream of the real problems with the environment and food production pipeline. Preventative care is basically ignored and the problem will just get worse.
To me, if someone were to find that no life can be created out of 99% of the stuff in the universe (by mass) that would be a very unsurprising result.

By some kind of power law argument, it doesn't strike me as particularly strange that the stuff that makes up life, a very complex chemical process, requires a sensitive mixture of the rarer components.
Some percentage of people (probably well into double digits) don't know about the up and down speed adjustment buttons.
A bit off topic, but true story: The developer lost our pictures of our honeymoon. When they couldn't find them, they offered us... replacement blank rolls.
For pizza this seems to have a halo effect as well. It you drop into a non-franchise pizzeria anywhere within roughly 50 miles of NYC then chances are you’ll have a pretty good NYC-style slice, and a reasonable chance of a slice that can stand next to most slices in NYC and still be proud of itself (if a bit awestruck by the company it finds itself in).

I’ve seen a bit of this in areas of the country that have seen some emigration from NYC outwards: NC, FL. Maybe less so as you go west, unless some here have encountered them?
That’s just not true. Just the fact that you can reuse libraries easily makes Rust much easier. That combined with memory safety means that the two biggest headaches of C and C++ are just gone.

Further delays at ITER are certain, but their duration isn’t clear
I think it’s mostly caused by the folks making abrupt lane changes as the Tesla slows down. You can see people start to swerve into other lanes instead of just slowing down (they are looking in their side mirrors to avoid the slow car and sometimes even accelerate). I’ve had this happen where you are cruising at a speed and the person in front of you serves to avoid a slow car and now you lose all of the time to react by changing lanes as well

I’d even wager if that pickup hadn’t swerved and everyone just slowed down it wouldn’t have piled up

Side tangent, I love watching car crash videos. Really interesting to see how the system breaks down and people make mistakes. I spend hours on YouTube sometimes :)

Most providers do communicate with the payor and have a decent idea of what you owe, so I was being a bit snarky there. If they know you have a zero copay, you make no payment on site with no follow up bill afterwards.
Sorry, just noticed this. Arguably, there's only really one proper architecture today: UI (View+ViewModels), Data, and possibly Domain in between. Most of the others seem to have more cons than pros. This is a great guide on architectures, more up to date than most articles on the topic: https://developer.android.com/topic/architecture

The previous linked tutorial covers coroutines well enough to do things with it. If you want to go further, I'd recommend figuring out how to combine Kotlin Flow with Compose; neither Compose nor Flow really shine without the other. Sadly can't find tutorials on this either. Planning to open source some templates some time this year.
> Cassell's Dictionary of Slang (2d ed.) defines “peeps” as a slang term originating in the 1980s on college campuses and in the black community. It's derived from “people” and it means parents, friends, people in general, according to Cassell's.

Curious about your age and country of residence.
They KNOW which cards are affected... this means they could at LEAST list the serial numbers so people that do know can check... without going through the last bit about proactive contact.

I don't have one, but I don't game much, and mostly run in a Linux desktop without overclocking... I do sell my older cards when I update/upgrade sometimes. This could literally saddle someone else down the road with a card that breaks/throttles/ramps fans to an annoying level, because AMD didn't at least release serial numbers for the cards in question.

I'm guessing it's a MASSIVE amount and they just don't want to do the right thing.

FSD does not activate on freeways. This is not FSD. It's the same Autopilot that has been in use for many years.

> Surely capitalism [...] problem

Spoken like someone who's never lived NOT under capitalism. It amazes me how young people today say things like this, as if they are self evident. I used to think that I'd not wish that life on anyone, but really y'all could use some, to see the contrast.
As the other comment and a few others have iterated, software guys don't have as much of a "measure twice, cut once" mentality. It's not so much about the math or technical knowledge, it's more of a mentality.

Let me put it this way - I've seen many times software engineers laugh when they encounter a funny bug or an output they didn't expect. I don't think I've ever seen an ME laugh when something breaks.

https://www.co2levels.org/ (same source, apparently) shows the amount of CO2 from 1990 until now has gone from about 355 ppm to 420 ppm, so 65 ppm. Each CO2 binds an O2, so I guess that could account for 65 ppm of the "missing" oxygen.
A 1 MPH pass doesn't take that long in absolute terms, but 15 car lengths (to maintain 7 car lengths in between at 70 MPH) still takes a solid 2.5 minutes to complete, during which you are nominally blocking the passing lane. (I say nominally because once there is a 2 car length gap between you and the other car, other drivers will be passing you on the right.)

It may not have sounded like it, but I agree with your philosophy entirely as the most important factor for language design. It’s also a big reason for why I prefer Go.

However, I also believe there are a few situations where explicitness should step aside. Go already breaks these rules for memory management - it has a GC, simply because it outweighs the benefits of explicitness. I argue that haphazard concurrency is comparable to manual memory management when it comes to both footguns and boilerplate, so I truly think it’s worth entertaining these ideas. That said, I can’t even back such a proposal myself, without first having it in hand and carefully studying it or even playing with it.

As for context, I’d like to have it trimmed down to ONLY cancelation and timeouts, possibly with user-provided errors (see Go1.20 cancel cause in exp). It shouldn’t have values at all. The reasons for the implicitness though, in order of importance:

1. Offer the caller to time out IO if the callee isn’t context aware or has forgotten to set a deadline. The majority of 3p library code I’ve seen makes such mistakes all the time, leading to socket leaks and the inability to tear down goroutines correctly.

2. To prevent the function coloring problem, which introduces substantial boilerplate duplication.
As a Tesla driver, I'm sorry and I don't like it either. I turn it off for normal driving but when using autopilot, it force enables the auto high beams. Arguably I shouldn't be using autopilot at night but ironically I was doing it so I could briefly shield my eyes when I get blinded by cars going the other direction.
I mean anyone who legitimately drives an EV to help the environment is deluding themselves. Not only is car pollution a negligible fraction of overall emissions, but it's far more harmful and resource intensive to get materials required to make EVs, and there are plenty of second order effects such as this and power generation required that result in even more emissions.

My current totally unconfirmed theories: people pay extra for shaded windows, then they need brighter headlights, and finally the new headlights are less directional. Again, just theories.
In California, it is illegal for a car to stop on a freeway except in an emergency.
Germany has been lacking a coherent security strategy. They neglected the Bundeswehr for decades and in recent years doubled down on their dependency on Russian fossil fuel (one could argue this was a mutual interdependency as German companies were crucial for the Russian arms industry).

Apart from the far right/left everyone in Germany (that I know) is thankful for America's support in Eastern Europe. Most of these people had no goodwill towards the US military before this war - mainly due to the shameful campaigns in Afghanistan/Iraq. But they also realized that the German/Western European security 'strategy' regarding Russia was a big failure.
And yet, if I go and shoot someone I get arrested, but if an executioner does, they’re not. Weird, I wonder why that is.

You’re absolutely avoiding the substance of the argument using the semantics of what the guy said, instead of addressing the point that the government decides who can and cannot commit violence and who is and is not subject to violence.
IIRC, that swapped a few years ago...Millenials are now the largest cohort followed by Gen-Z, Boomers and then Gen-X.

Given Gen-X is both the smallest and next cohort to start retiring, I'm guessing medicare, SSI, etc. will have a few years to 'catch-up' before the Millenials start retiring.

Quote from FAA: "Our preliminary work has traced the outage to a damaged database file." UK news source The Independent is reporting that Nav Canada's NOTAM system also suffered an issue.[1] Speculation: corrupting input, either international or North American? E.G. UTF-8, SQL escape, CSV quoting.

edit: Better reporting of Canada's issue from Canada's CBC (and frankly, better reporting about the US, too). [2] "In Canada, pilots were still able to read NOTAMs, but there was an outage that meant new notices couldn't be entered into the system, NAV Canada said on social media." "NAV Canada said it did not believe the outage was related to the one in the U.S., but it said it was investigating."

Cosmic rays are a cop out but a good plot device. They're so rare, but one could write a bit flip into a script for a novel or a tv show as the solution to any computer mystery.
It's fine to dislike Go's philosophy on error handling, but in order to save you and your co-workers a lot of headache down the road, I'd recommend you just use another language. This is not something you want to do in Go and very few folks who program in Go would be happy to work with that style of code.

In case you actually are interested in Go's take on stack traces: You are intended to annotate your errors so you can build your own stack traces with whatever information you want. This leads to better error messages because additional context (values of things) can be logged with your custom stack trace.

What's your point? That parents won't want to buy VR for their kids because they want to protect them a different video game interface that will ignore their surroundings slightly more than what they were doing before? If that's what you're saying it only shows you're someone who hasn't actually used VR much.

Anyone who has used VR knows it isn't even a permanent replacement for hardcore day-to-day gaming. That's why I used the Wii/Casual analogy. It's amazing for small spurts of lightweight gaming. Which just happens to be very attractive to kids/young teens (and yes non-gamer adults) who aren't hardcore gamers (Nintendo/mobile shows this is a massive market).
Wrong. Here’s a video of FSD in use on a freeway. There are hundreds of these. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E-RHYbvIZYo
You misunderstand. For it to be useful this winter, additional solar would have needed to have been deployed at the beginning of summer. Your timeline is: Russia invades February 24. Your most effective solar window is April-October. The solar would have needed to be built in 1-2 months to offset summer gas use.
Sounds like you're not working in a Kaiser hospital.

My dad has serious kidney stone problems and does not have to deal with the dystopian shit you're talking about.

KP was famously overcrowded during COVID, but the dysfunction you describe is simply not on that level throughout the whole country.

Really, we could bandaid a lot of these harms by making it easier to get access pain killers. I think the opioid crisis was worth allowing legitimate people to get access to strong pain killers quickly on negative utilitarian grounds.
Friend of mine was driving down the road one day, and someone in the lane next to him turned on her turn signal, then merged into him without looking. She explained the situation carefully to the adjuster, noting that "she had her turn signal on, therefore she had the right to merge." At this point, the adjuster contacted my friend and asked where to send the check.

A turn signal does not give you the right to the lane. You have to look, there has to be enough room.
Not all heroes wear capes. This made my day.
The Bay Bridge is a freeway and so FSD Beta stack should not be active - instead Autopilot stack, which does the hands off warning then slow down thing, but I think it puts hazards on too which isn't seen.
When I worked in San Jose every workday morning I waited at the bus stop with other employees (generally no one I knew however) waiting for the Corporate Bus to arrive. Invariably everyone was engaged with their phones except me. I guess I'm old — I haven't found anything interesting on my phone to look at when I just want to pass the time.

I guess I mention this because I suspect that without phones, we might have chatted with one another, got to know one another while we waited for the bus to arrive.

Oh well.
Not sure if police got this right. Currently only Autopilot is available on highway. FSD is for local road.

I appreciate your honesty.

I completely agree that the current system is excellent for those who can afford it, and queuing-based-on-worth certainly appeals to those with worth.

In the US this worth translates into money, which translates into lobbying. You are not marching in the streets because you don't need to. Your money speaks for you.

I say this not to patronise you, since you clearly understand this is the case. I say it merely to point out that this system works for the few, not the many. And yes it works well for the few.

Regarding your cateract example, if the queue is need based, and you have two patients, then one with 2 cateracts is ahead of someone with 1. That's another system, a system I agree which would be most distressing to someone with 1 careact and lots of spare cash.

I get that any system other than the current one will make you worse off. Equally I hope you see that any system at all will be a massive step forward for huge numbers of people.

Sure, I get it. I prefer systems that favor me. The seething masses aren't "real" to me. I don't know them like I know me and the people I care about. I care about my medical needs now, not some hypothetical "other person". Like you, I can pay for my medical, and I appreciate that I can.

But I also wonder if this is the best way. It works for me, but maybe there's something better for us all.

I'm probably the target market for this. I did like the idea of Medium, but the problem with most of these platforms - Medium, DEV, Hashnode is they become full of crap.

It's people posting things as a form of self-advertising. Some who actually put "blogger" on a resume. Many post tutorials to come up on a search on their chosen skill (or a search for their name). The tutorials are generally poorly well thought out and shallow. Like a lot of people post overcomplicated architectures, with the reasoning being "some famous guy or company used it".

So posting an article with these networks get you associated with that crap. I would like to see something with a proper quality filter. This isn't easy, I understand, which is why the big blogging platforms don't do it. I'm not looking for TikTok-style catchy/addictive recommendations; I'd like to see something the quality level of Steam.

I'm also iffy on AI-guided writing. I love AI-based writing and I pay for GitHub Copilot, but as a platform, that just encourages people to churn out low quality articles.
Actually I rather use GNU/Linux with SAMBA and the SQL Server for Linux project. Cheaper that Windows Server licenses.
I once made the mistake of doing a set of rather detailed integration diagrams for an airline I was consulting at.

This diagram, which was intended to be a rough snapshot of how the systems interacted, instead became the single point of reference for how everything in the company worked. It was used to justify investment, knock back projects, one PM even tried to use it to dragoon AD into a PCI Compliance project due to a couple of lines on the aforementioned diagram (like this system has cards, line goes to Exchange as it alerts via email and AD is connected to Exchange. AD is now on the PCI hook).

It was the first thing I did there, leaving 4 years later. They were still in wide use 3 years after I left and hadn't being updated since they were drawn, not to mention they were flat out wrong in a number of significant ways to start with (either simplified for $REASONS or just didn't find out the real story until a year or 2 later).

These diagrams are probably the most impactful thing I've ever done in my career given how long they remained in daily use and the effort to draw them (which was probably a week or two? Took a long time to get the data but the drawing bit was pretty quick).

Would code have made them more accurate or likely to be updated? I doubt it.
Would it have made them more useful? I don't think so, the key to them being well understood and useful was mostly in the layout, something that is difficult to control in any generated diagram.

I did actually have a go at using structurizr when I was there but it was too much work when compared to knocking out a quick draw.io.

Personally these days I make great use of PlantUML / WebSequence diagrams and am very interested in the C4 / mermaid stuff, but I would likely take the approach of the Engineering Manager - please produce diagrams and make them:
1 - accurate and
2 - useful for whatever story you are trying to tell.

Do it in code if you can make it work, but as someone in the thread said - this is an old problem and if it was easy it would have being solved in the 90s.

That said I've always thought a dependency system would be a good way to express the relationships between systems - you could almost model systems using something like maven poms - but again, it's always too hard to get the scope and resulting view right.
I’d be curious to get Peter Zeihan’s thoughts on this. Flexport’s business is built around globalization and trade. What if Peter is right and we are seeing it all unravel before our eyes right now?
