That all depends. There are serious limits to where HIPAA applies. Not everyone who who handles medical data is bound by it, for starters.
Pick an app you like and copy it feature by feature. New programers need coding practice. Don't get caught up on a cycle of not doing anything because you can't find the perfect project. Try to be as professional as possible. Pretend you have a deadline to deliver it on and for a client. You'll need to research some items and make sure you ask for help when you get stuck.

In the US, I would suspect all of them. They ply you with multimillion dollar contracts. If you try to resist, they weaponize whatever they can against you. Consider the case of Qwest.

Yes, but it's necessary.

Because just be yourself works well in Disney movies, but IRL, we have social norms and many reward/punishment systems depending on how much and often you deviate from them.

So you have to find a balance between being genuine and fitting in. Everybody does, but for some of us, it's more costly. Usually, the balance is achieved by having different groups in which you can adjust the cursor differently, like work, friends and family, if you are lucky.
PCMCIA was such a cool expansion slot, but not because of that mouse monstrosity. :)

From NICs and modems, to memory cards and hard drives—it was incredibly versatile. Hot swappable too, assuming your OS supported this well. It was the USB before USB, and for a short time there were PC cards with USB ports for machines that didn't have any. Even today, I miss having an internal slot of that size, instead of a dozen different USB devices and dongles.

But my favorite has got to be the Rex 3 PDA[1][2]. I've never used it, but back then it must've felt magical.

A lot of psychological studies are devoted to "proving" what are moorean facts to anyone with first hand experience of the subject.
Coming from a Linux Admin background, I would suggest installing a Wordpress website to learn more about the LAMP stack and seeing how all the pieces fit together. Once you get it working on a box, look at how you could scale out the Apache and Application layer.

From there one of my first developer projects was creating a Flask Application which uses Python. I think understanding the mechanics of Wordpress, helped me design and build the Flask Application. (Which could be a blog or whatever you want to put online.)
AFAIK, the default expectation at most places was that the pandemic wasn't permanent and eventually people would be back in person.

> Take off your company-man hat, does it make sense to you as a worker?

I don't tend to analyze things along "class struggle" lines. Obviously, as a worker, I would prefer to make as much money and have as good of work conditions as possible, but I don't necessarily think any deviation from that is "unfair".
Source.ag raises $23M to raise the bar on raising crops with AI
It is sound economics. Housing is fungible -- poor people would gladly occupy luxury housing if the price is right, and rich people can and do pay luxury prices for dumps when the alternative is sleeping on the streets.

Therefore the primary thing that matters is how many units are built. If there are N people and N-1 housing units, then if you build super cheap housing the poorest guy can move off the streets into it. But if you build a luxury unit, the richest guy moves out of his unit into the new one, which opens up rich guy's place for a not-quite-as-rich person, etc.

I think the real reason is that the political donation system operates on trust that the donors are who they say they are just like the voting system in most states just trusts that you are who you claim to be when you show up to vote (i.e. no requirement to show ID) and the mail-in voting system trusts that the voter filled out their ballot in secret without any coercion or intimidation.

The entire US election system is comically insecure and the thing that's surprising is how rare evidence of large scale fraud is. This is probably because it is much easier (and legal!) for rich people to just funnel money into super PACs, buy their own media outlet and/or use political activist "non-profit charities" as tax dodges and jobs programs for their kids.

Why make illegal donations to politicians or outright steal an election when you can just spend an unlimited amount of money on propaganda to brainwash people into supporting your agenda that is completely contrary to their own interests, the interests of their friends and family and their interests of their community? Why would you break the law when you could accomplish the exact same goal legally and get out of paying your fair share of taxes at the same time?

I dislike biomedical ethicists as much as most people here, but the anger here seems way out of proportion to their actual influence. They don't "dictate" anything; for the most part they're a bunch of noisy busybodies who make statements which get quoted by journalists but otherwise influence nothing. For the most part, market demand dictates interventions and bioethicists are essentially an irrelevant speed bump in this process. If you don't like them, you can just ignore them.
High speed trains (300 km/h) can happen only between hubs because each added stop costs time and makes those train no high speed anymore. Plus congestion if every train could use the high speed tracks, unless we build four or more parallel tracks instead of the usual two.

I don't see much change from the current scheme of medium speed trains (150 km/h) connecting medium sized cities and high speed between major ones. And slow trains doing every single stop for small cities, if they even have a station.

> Why can’t the millions of homes that exist today be the mid-range to affordable and just flood the market with market rate homes?

Because you can’t get there from here. The only way to “flood the market” with any kind of homes is to build at higher density. But building market rate units at higher density won’t, itself, make lower-density units in the same area more affordable, as lower density is itself a thing people will pay a premium for; it will just allow more rich people to move in to an area and drive gentrification o the lower-density areas. (If preferentially done in urban cores to an extent that overwhelms other, particularly transportation, infrastructure, it may make lower density homes in peripheral areas less valuable simply by making jobs less accessible, but that also doesn’t solve the problem of housing affordability.)
One of my first programs calculated the odds of losing everything with a martingale strategy for a desired outcome and starting capital.

It needed so much capital to get to a safe enough point that it'd be better to just put the money in the bank (but thinking back, this was back before 0 interest rates, so there's another lesson there for you....)

At some level, humans are undervalued, seen only as grist for the mill, to be ground up and their value extracted, then discarded. Soldiers, homeless people, food service workers, child care workers, teachers, oil rig workers, and on and on and on. That is universal and a larger issue.

My point was to focus on the center of the venn diagram, where men and women do the same or similar jobs, especially jobs in which the balance has shifted over time, so that we can see that even in the midst of a general undervaluing of humans, separate from the extreme undervaluing that happens at the edges, women are undervalued even more than usual.

For some reason, many people find it hard to understand this.
And that is why developers should shun Electron apps. The fact that every developer uses them is shameful. We should have more self respect to not use memory hogs and inefficient programs.
Precisely. How many users and traffic can be served by that infrastructure, and with what functionality (outside of blockchain)?

The old version of the Netflix OpenConnect Appliance uses 650 watts of peak power to store 360TB of content and stream at 96 Gbps[0].

Assuming an average bitstream of 4 mbit/s (relatively high) that's 24,000 video streams on 650 watts. Over 2m people STREAMING VIDEO inside of 55 kW.

The new version is 190Gbps on 400 watts - at least 5-6m people streaming video inside of 55 kW.

This happens all the time naturally. For example dust from the Saraha reduces the amount of hurricanes. The problem here that's like putting a bandaid on a laceration, the hurricane is the effect of a complex system and not a causation. By blocking it you're allowing that energy to remain in the system and have all kinds of other potentially terrible side effects.
It’s not for everybody, but choose a good text editor with syntax features, read documentation and related code, use a lightweight build system, and write without an IDE. It’s really not that difficult, is transferable to any framework or language, and forces you to learn APIs and code bases.

In the past 20 years I’ve used Vim to write PHP, Java, Bash, C, C++, Ruby, Perl, JavaScript, Objective-C, Swift, a proprietary S-expression language, and documents in LaTeX. This isn’t something I drop into occasionally, it’s my primary editor used along side compilers and interpreters. I’ve never once said, Vim doesn’t start fast enough or is taking too much memory (though I have caused it to hang based on my own dumb search or replace commands).

There are plenty of native text editors that work just as well. On the Mac I’ve had great experiences with BBEdit, TextMate, and SubEthaEdit. Other people like Sublime. There really is no shortage of great text editors.

Developers need to start treating electron apps like the plague. They are merely low effort attempts at cross platform tools written in the most user hostile way.

I come from the same position of not having heard of mermaid, but this document still worked for me; scrolling 500px I quickly and visually picked up a hint of what "mermaid" must be, and further scrolling let me visually drill down into nuances beyond "just" flowcharting. At that point I stopped skimming and started drilling into details and saw how "markdown-like" the syntax was.

Overall as a sensory and communicative experience the document worked for me and the cognitive bandwidth was high.

Because it turns out there are pesky uncontrollable externalities that keep popping up. Like, you can't buy some random lot in suburbia and turn it into a nuclear waste dump or a trash incinerator site, no matter what you pay the neighbors, because of regulations like zoning.
Oh wow. Based solely on my own grappa experiences, that may have been for the best.
“ Navascués said, “If you want a system to age 10 years, it will take 10 years. You can’t create time out of nothing. To make a system age 10 years in one year, you must get the other nine years from somewhere.” Using this logic, the scientific team hit upon a trick to speed up time. “We discovered that you can transfer evolutionary time between identical physical systems. In a year-long experiment with 10 systems, you can steal one year from each of the first nine systems and give them all to the tenth. At the end of the year, the tenth system will have aged 10 years; the other nine will remain the same as when the experiment began.”

So, say you're saving $2500 a year? That seems pretty cheap for an option to scale up without fundamentally changing your operational architecture.

The bigger question mark than the money, I think, is whether this scale up approach actually works, or whether you end up fundamentally changing everything anyway. In my experience it's a mixed bag. There are some advantages, but it also isn't a panacea, and certainly isn't as easy as turning that dynos knob on heroku was. But at the end of the day, I land on it being worth it for a business (though not for a hobby). But it isn't a no-brainer.

For example when I was in highschool, it was really uncommon to date someone from another school. You'd have to have some overlapping extracurricular in common. Maybe a job or a church etc. To be top in 1000 person school you'd have to be 1:1000 person.

Now it's perfectly normal for flirtation to happen city-wide via social media. That means the competition for top choices is now city wide. To be top in a 100k teenager city you;d have to be 1:100000, being 1:1000 could simply mean you're viewed as "average" because highlight reel nature of social media means the average people are essentially invisible.

Some weeks ago I had repeated issues with npm getting stuck on installs for maybe 20 minutes and finally erroring out, seemingly due to some network issues. I verified that there was no actual problem with my network, and pnpm installed within seconds.

Just as I'm typing this comment, I'm waiting for an npm install to complete for like 10 minutes already, on a project with just maybe 20-ish top level dependencies. It's stuck on this line for like 5 minutes:

(####⠂⠂⠂⠂⠂⠂⠂⠂⠂⠂⠂⠂⠂⠂) ⠹ idealTree:regjsparser: sill fetch manifest builtin-modules@^3.3.0

It will probably terminate with some kind or error. This will not happen with pnpm or yarn. Even if it does not, the speed of installation with npm is no match for yarn or pnpm. What might take minutes with npm takes seconds with the others.

Also earlier today I had to help a team member install some dependencies in a Node project on a Macbook. We were getting all kinds of errors. After much poking around, it turns out we needed to use `sudo` for the install to succeed, and also resolve some version mismatches between some dependencies, but the error messages did not give any clear indication that these were the problems. Yarn and pnpm will usually just work in such situations, and give messages if some minor issue with the install.
>41. In total, SAMUEL BANKMAN-FRIED, a/k/a "SBF," the defendant, and his coconspirators made over 300 political contributions, totaling tens of millions of dollars, that were
unlawful because they were made in the name of a straw donor or paid for with corporate funds.
In dozens of instances, BANKMAN-FRIED's use of straw donors allowed him to evade
contribution limits on individual donations to candidates to whom he had already donated. As a
result of this fraudulent conduct, BANKMAN-FRIED and his co-conspirators caused false
information to be reported by campaigns and PA Cs to the FEC, which had the result of impairing
and impeding the FEC' s reporting and enforcement functions.

>CC-1 ultimately became-at least in name--one of the largest Democratic donors in
the 2022 midterm elections and made donations to further BANKMAN-FRIED's agenda that CCI otherwise would not have made.

This is worse than election rigging. There are reasons there are donation limits, and this dude deliberately, knowingly went around them to help the Democrats in the midterms.
