I haven’t seen any compelling use case for crypto/blockchain. It’s slower and more expensive than existing solutions for payments and the anonymity is, it turns out, something that can be pierced by law enforcement. NFTs were an obvious scam from the start (except for the suckers who lost money on them). Web3 hasn’t provided any usable solutions. Meanwhile we have a bunch of crypto coins that have no inherent value that are serving as a remarkably long running Ponzi scheme.
Yep... the colour temperature and placement of headlights were much better in the old days.
Yup. Relative speed doesn't matter. A vehicle in the lane next to you can force you to crash.
The Tesla had its turn signal on for a solid 5 seconds before impact. I blame the asshole that was in the far left lane going way too fast and not slowing down (just letting off the accelerator when the Tesla signalled would have prevented the accident) when someone is trying to enter. Then they brake way too late. Everyone behind that first vehicle is also to blame for following too closely at too fast of a speed and braking too late.
Right it's dangerous but it's equivalent to a flat tire or something causing any other car to stop. I only skimmed the video once but it looked like the car slowed down quite a bit, and as others mentioned a car slowing in front of you even in a congested area doesn't excuse others from following too closely or at too high of speed or not paying attention, because something could happen to any car causing it to stop somewhat quickly.

I was watching the video and the whole time I kept thinking that if I saw my car slowing down for no reason (and my Autopilot not FSD) has slowed down "ghosted" before I would have immediately taken control. Why didn't the driver do that?

> the car could play loud obnoxious noises inside the car when this happened.

I'll be interested to hear about what happened there but I know if you don't toggle the wheel or take action when on Autopilot the car will flash blue and beep at you to take control and if you keep doing it it'll disengage Autopilot until you stop and park the car.

I haven't used "FSD" much at all so I'm not 100% familiar with it but there seems like a host of problems here and the software powering "FSD" is but one of those. It saddens me though that people aren't asking the best question here which is why are we driving everywhere in the first place?
I’m no weight weenie but 32 pounds/15 kilos is not something I’d call lightweight and easy to wrangle in and out of buildings. That said it is light for an ebike and kudos for fitting all that in the hub. If it works as advertised it would be a great commuter, though a bit pricy for one.

You should rarely reach for panic. Panics are not like exceptions, really. It's very frowned upon for panics to pass API boundaries. Use errors always, unless the state of the world is irrecoverably broken.

It's difficult to come up with examples of when this may be the case. Often it's a "you're holding it wrong" kind of thing. For example, a common idiom is wrapping something like

func Parse(s string) (Foo, error)

to be usable in contexts where error handling isn't possible, such as variable initialization.

func Must(f Foo, err error) Foo {
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
return f
}

which could be used at the global level like so:

var someFoo = Must(Parse("hey"))

This is acceptable because this code is static and will either panic at boot always or never.
I would love it.

Swift is fantastic, and by far my favorite language to write client code in. (Compared to Rust, TypeScript/JS, ObjC, C++, C#, & Java.)

That's a lot of pepperoni over only 9 years. Have never visited New York, but I'm sure the pizza is fine enough. But is it as good as a any neopolitan pizza you can get in any PNW city? Anyone?

Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland have pretty good, though expensive pizza.
For me I think the issue is trust. Its not much different from what I feel sitting in the passenger seat of a car when anyone else is driving. I don't trust their driving so if it gets slightly trafficed, I start freaking out because I don't trust the driver. I also don't trust the ACC on my Subaru in more dense conditions so when it get busy and I start approaching the rear of another vehicle, I go into a mode where I start paying close attention to the approach thinking "at what point do I cut it off, and hit the brake?"
It's my understanding that open source software does not have equal access to code pilot for free. Isn't the quote free access contingent on the repository popularity?
As an engineer who admires the work done by DuckDB, I'm disappointed that the co-founder of its evolution is spreading FUD about competitors before its even in the competitive conversation.

> Stability. It OOMS, your CTO mentioned that last week.

I ran ClickHouse clusters for years with zero stability issues (even as a beginner at the time) at an extremely large volume video game studio with real-time needs. Using online materialized views, I was able to construct rollups of vital KPIs at millisecond level while maintaining multi-thousand QPS. Stability was never a concern of ours, and quite frankly, we were kind of blown away.

> Scale. The distributed plan is broken and I'm not sure Clickhouse even has shuffle.

First, I hate the word "broken" with zero explanation what you mean by this. Based on your language, I'm assuming you're just suggesting the distributed plans aren't as efficient as possible, a limitation that the engineers are not shy to admit.

> SQL. It is very non-standard.

I would argue the language is more a superset than "non-standard". Most everything for us just worked, and often I found areas of SQL that I could reduce significantly due to the "non-standard" extras they've added. For example: Did you know they have built-in aggregate functions for computing retention?!

> Knobs. Lots of knobs that are poorly documented. It's unclear which are mandatory. You have to restart for most.

Yes, there are a lot of knobs. ClickHouse works wonderfully out of the box with the default knobs, but you're free to tinker because that's how flexible the technology is.

You worked at Google for over a decade? You should know. Google's tech is notorious for having a TON of knobs for their internal technology (e.g. BigTable). Just because the knobs are there doesn't mean they must be tuned, it just means the engineers thought ahead. Also, the vast majority of configuration changes I've made never required a restart...I'm not even sure why you pointed this out.

(Disclaimer: I have been using ClickHouse successfully for several years)
Are the problems the same for all branches of healthcare? The conditions of hospital emergency rooms have been a topic of concern for many years.

> absolute truth is literally magic

That's an interesting thing to build a fantasy universe around. It makes me wonder about the author's metaphysics. Perhaps one of:

-Duane thinks that absolute truth is difficult to come by. A skeptic or a fact relativist perhaps. And wonders what things would be like if it were more accessible (magic being your litmus paper for having accessed Truth).

-Duane thinks that Truth is both accessible and powerful, and wants to show how important it is to take its pursuit seriously.

If she is skillful, she won't be pulling an Ayn Rand and bashing the reader over the head with her philosophy--a story should be enjoyable whether or not you agree with the author--but I bet she leaves enough hints for the discerning reader to figure out where she stands.

Of course I'm talking out of my ass here, not having read the books, but that's the kind of thing my wife and I debate over dinner. It's usually easy to tell which themes an author has chosen to play with, but if they're good (i.e. their story is not full of straw men for the positions they disagree with) then it can be hard to tell if they're making a stand.

I'm a Wheel of Time fan. In the later books the biblical allegory comes across pretty strong. But there are things about the ending and the world building that feel very Buddhist. The author died while writing it, it was his life's work. While reading it I always wonder whether he achieved a coherent Buddhist/Christian synthesis towards the end, or if his feelings about afterlives ended up flopping one way or the other.
> You might see it slowing down first, and you start slowing down, or continue because there is enough distance anyway.

That's the thing, though - if you were already at the distance limit, and the car in front of you starts slowing down, you have to also start slowing down right away to maintain said limit. If you do not, then it's already "not enough distance" by definition at that point, and you're the one responsible for that.
> Warm weather trends could mean less snowpack across the region and potential drought conditions, which could impact everything from agricultural production to reduced summer hydroelectric production to problems with the cooling water supply for France's fleet of nuclear reactors.

The problem for agriculture there is not only water, it also needs cold periods for better harvests and fruit production.
Co-author here. Thanks, but I'm not aware of this line, can you point to it please?
I agree, I'm often using CTEs to organize sub-result-sets because asking for a production database change / view change requires a ticket, and it's just way faster to iterate in a few CTEs in a single query.

If, eventually, a few CTE distillations become common enough, then yeah, that's grounds for a request to basically shove that CTE into a view so other people can use it.
Expecting people to follow that far is like expecting people to read every TOS.
No need to wave the flag for your side - I don't trust MS for exactly the same reason. MS spouting BS to developers doesn't mean they actually prioritise them.
The disconnect is due, in part, to a selection bias. The cost estimates for new solar and wind (for example Lazard's report [1]) is based on existing plants. These plants were built in the best places, for example in the US lots of solar power plants were built in sunny California, and lots of wind turbines in places with plenty of wind (the so-called wind corridor).

If you take solar and install it in Europe, you will not get the same bang for your buck, for the simple reason that Europe is well north of California. As for wind, most of Europe is less windy than the US wind corridor, but offshore areas in the North and Baltic seas appear to be exceptionally good. Still, building offshore wind can't be done at a snap of your fingers.

Going forward, both solar and wind will see huge increases in installed capacity, but only in the places where it makes sense.

We shouldn't forget that this whole energy crisis was the result of bad EU policy. Even though Putin's unjustified invasion of Ukraine was the spark that set the fire, EU's dependence on Russian natural gas was foreseeable and foreseen and warned about for years prior [1]:

> U.S. President Donald Trump launched a sharp public attack on Germany on Wednesday for supporting a Baltic Sea gas pipeline deal with Russia, saying Berlin had become “a captive to Russia” and he criticized it for failing to raise defense spending more.

But it didn't start there [2]:

> U.S. President Barack Obama told the European Union on Wednesday it cannot rely on the United States alone to reduce its dependency on Russian energy, as relations with Moscow chill over its seizure of Crimea from Ukraine.

The US foresaw and planned for the rise in demand for LNG, something Europe did not do [3]:

> The last time the United States was a net exporter of natural gas was in 1957, when Dwight Eisenhower was president. That should change in 2018 when the country is expected to become the world’s third-largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG).

It went so far as Germany building an LNG terminal to mollify the US [4]:

> Germany will chose where to build a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal by the end of 2018 as a gesture to the United States which wants to ship more gas to Europe, the economy minister said on Tuesday.

And now Europe complains about the price they have to pay for LNG [5].

Don't lose sight of the fact that the entire European energy crisis is the result of poor strategic planning, avoidable dependence on Russian energy and poor policy.

I'm glad there's been a heat wave to alleviate winter-related heat issues. The UK, for example, has "warm hubs" [6] for people who literally cannot afford to heat their home.

Remember too that passing on those high energy costs to customers is also a policy choice by the various governments.

True, but this company has taken on equity ( almost certainly with preferred shares ) investors. To buy them out, you would need cash. If you don’t have the cash, you need new investors. If the business is cash flowing and/or has assets, it may be possible to issue debt, effectively swapping equity investors for debt investors. The debt investor won’t care as much about growth as it does about you repaying your loan, but you are still stuck with an investor who has pre-negotiated rights ( and now the ability to liquidate the company if you don’t pay them ). Either way, you still have investors.

There are loads of 20-50 person small businesses who raised money in many different ways ( from personal savings to bank loans to customer prepays ). Many of those likely started with a small number of people, growing over many decades one paying customer at a time.

> I would really, really love if context was implicit and universal cancel/deadline mechansim, all the way down to IO.

I don't think this is an improvement. Implicit behavior is difficult to identify and reason about. The only criticism of context that seems valid to me, aside from arbitrary storage being a huge antipattern, is that it was added long after nearly the entire standard library was authored, and it's usage is still relatively sparse.

We can agree that concurrency is difficult to use correctly, but since the introduction of generics it's much easier to wrap channels and goroutines.

Aside, in my experience if you're worried about boilerplate you're almost always looking at the problem wrong and optimizing for convenience over simplicity.

The issue isn't a shortage of residency slots, it's that we don't allow doctors with foreign residencies to practice in the United States.

The physicians in Spain and South Korea and Costa Rica are really good. Arguably better than American doctors based on health outcomes. Many would jump at the chance to earn high American wages. There's no reason a South Korean doctor with ten years of experience in the world leading hospitals of Seoul shouldn't be allowed to practice medicine in the US just because he didn't do a residency in rural Alabama

Quick thoughts:

Nice effort, and the format of the diagrams looks good. I do find the description close to impossible to read due to the use of all caps, monospace and most of all, lack of line spacing. I haven’t thought more on this, but within the constraints of the card sizes if this part could be improved, that’d be great.
It still pays well, and the system is setup to be very generous to physicians. Student loan forgiveness is available to physicians[0] and its not super hard to meet at least one of the qualifications, as physician demand has been intense for decades, so the debt load can be decreased significantly (and often outright forgiven after a set number of years) by just working the job.

The pay is also still super good. Even a primary care physician will most likely make 200K or more. Specialty physicians typically make even more than that, I've seen quoted anywhere between 300-700K, sometimes more.

And don't discount prestige. While jury is out if lawyers still garner prestige with the average person, being a board certified medical doctor certainly does, and I don't think this privilege in society should be discounted (and arguably, might even be deserved at times). This inevitably will drive at least some of it.

While physician assistants, nurse practitioners and other forms of care are eating at the very low end of a physicians duty, we're a long, long way from anything really upending them.

Taken all together, I'm not surprised. Though residency is grueling and the work is hard, it does seem to pay off in the long run, unlike alot of other things in society.

That said, nurses and PA's are also in super high demand, and I've seen some nursing salaries even edge out doctors in some cases when they do travel stuff, and of course you aren't married to your student debt the same way (all that fancy forgiveness is tied to actually being a doctor, after all) so if you get stressed, hate it, or otherwise give up the ghost on that career, its easier to move on

EDIT: I'm not saying these are good reasons, per se, but they certainly are, from all available evidence, reasons people become an M.D.
