Yes, if you consider non NYC/SV salaries physicians come out ahead in the vast majority of cases, we earn more or less the same no matter where we live.

I’m happy with my compensation but I’m also happy with my job/not optimizing solely for it. My point is that if I was I would have chosen a different career.

I also left Canada to make less in the US as a physician because I wanted more work/life balance and not to be working in a system constantly on the brink of collapse. The hospital I trained at was on “life or limb critical capacity” so often I had to set up an e-mail filter to send it to my junk.

Speaking of hiring freezes, from 2010-2020 the only jobs for radiologists were in small towns or undesirable locations, it’s better now for rads. Most surgeons and proceduralists (cardiology being a horrible one) still can’t find jobs in major metros without 2+ fellowships and at least one somewhere prestigious. It’s still hard with that.

As in all things, it really depends what you want in life. But if you have the aptitude to reach the highest levels of physician income and have mobility you’re probably skilled enough to have done the same in other professions (e.g. finance, software) with an easier (physically speaking) path and less opportunity cost.
Mexico to fight US dispute over GM corn after formal consultations fail
To not force every user to build (potentially all) derivations which is very time consuming, especially considering the way Nix derivations work which requires a rebuild each time a dependency changes in any way meaning something like a glibc update results in a recompile / redownload of the entire userspace.

So it's not a necessity per se but constantly rebuilding a significant amount of packages would easily turn the majority of users away. I'm not sure how many Nixpkgs revisions the Hydra build server keeps hold of or if they even clean up older revisions at all - perhaps it might be time to start doing so at this point. That would be an issue for ancient Nixpkgs revisions which point to broken urls though as the archival of sources is out of the scope for the NixOS infrastructure. Nix is only concerned about the state of a given source using checksums, not the availability itself. So in that sense "full source reproducibility" is only a guarantee that the input doesn't differ (and optimally should result in the same output bit-for-bit which is a completely different beast and something that is being tackled not only by NixOS but by several other distros). It's not a guarantee for "I will be able to grab this Nix derivation in 30 years and be able to get an output out of it" unless you have a mirror of the original sources.
Yes, seems like a silly opinion to me. If your system breaks upon seeing a deprecation warning (which... It shouldn't?), you can work around it by filtering or whatever, and have the remaining deprecation period to actually fix it. If your system breaks because you failed to notice the warning and the feature was actually removed, you have no choice but to actually fix it, under time pressure.

So even if it "might as well be a fatal error", at least it's a fatal error that's more likely to be manageable instead of a fire.

Nice writeup, this story seems to have gotten limited exposure after being written. Incidentally, these kinds of programs continue to the present:

> "In September 2013, The New York Times reported that internal NSA memos leaked by Edward Snowden indicated that the NSA had worked during the standardization process to eventually become the sole editor of the Dual_EC_DRBG standard,[7] and concluded that the Dual_EC_DRBG standard did indeed contain a backdoor for the NSA.[8] As response, NIST stated that "NIST would not deliberately weaken a cryptographic standard."[9] According to the New York Times story, the NSA spends $250 million per year to insert backdoors in software and hardware as part of the Bullrun program."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_EC_DRBG

There are also notions that the British government ran a similar program after WWII, distributing Enigma machines to all its colonies/ex-colonies, which was part of the reason they kept the codebreaking work on Enigma secret for decades (until the 1970s). I've never seen a similar expose of that, though.
Having gone down the rabbit hole of researching aftermarket ECUs for my cars I've discovered that in the US it's basically illegal to make changes to any part of a street legal car's emission control system which of course includes the ECU. It seems that it has been for several years but the EPA did not enforce the regulation consistently.

> I find it very hard to say "I did X" for anything except for personal projects that I did myself from start to finish.

I come from a culture that has a similar approach, where taking sole credit for team efforts is typically viewed negatively. Took me a few years to get the hang of lying on interviews and taking sole credit for team efforts.

And ironically, it only dawned on me when I became an interviewer myself. That's when I realized everyone lies on interviews. Especially interviewers.

When everyone is playing the same game, it's a fair ground.
And yet developers go through the most ludicrous interviewing processes, having to prove time and time again that they have enough technical skills, while having 10 years of experience in their CV :^)

I've written a parser of Java class files (which works in any JVM language as they all compile to the same bytecode format). It was surprisingly easy! Maybe that could be useful to analyse class files in jq??!
While I totally agree you can easily handle this with Ceph, I would never do it with 2x replication on spinning rust. You can maybe do 2x replication with SSDs if you really know what you're doing and you have data replicated on multiple Ceph clusters.

Also, your math does not quite add up if you want to store 425TiB. You'd be filling up the Ceph cluster to 95% which would be impossible (you'll start losing OSDs way before that).

If this was me, I would definitely do this on Ceph, but I would opt for a more traditional erasure coding setup of 8+3. For that, you'd need 12x SX134s as a minimum starting point.

I suppose you could start with an EC profile of 2+2 or 4+2...

I do have a serious question on Hetzner:

Do they offer any private networking options? That page only lists a single 1 Gbit connection. I don't think that would work well with Ceph. It's doable, sure, but I wouldn't want to support such a cluster, not with 160TB raw per box.
As one of the TVL folks, we aim for cache compatibility (i.e. output path equality), so the NixOS cache itself is highly relevant to us, too.

Would we choose to host it on S3? Probably not, but that's where it is right now and we have to be realistic about whether or not that will change. Personally I don't think so, though even on S3 there are still some optimisations to be done.

How do the online suites handle word documents?

IMO one of the problems with the LibreOffice/OpenOffice projects is that they took on an impossible challenge, working with Microsoft’s semi-documented mess of a file format. An office suite might not be hard, but Word is made of hacks and kludges, matching them is nearly impossible.

Its ability to fetch full pages, filter CSS elements and utilise session cookies from my browser make it very easy to get a full-text article from most websites I'm interested in.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Sometimes development happens on developer computers, staged for review to instances/databases spun up for that purpose. Sometimes the developers have a parallel but scaled-down copy of the production environment. The web applications I work on, with one or two exceptions in the past, don't have complex dev requirements. Often deployment amounts to "git pull."

If you work with complex dev environments and CI/CD pipelines that cost enough to care about, maybe look at how to simplify that. How development and deployment happens varies tremendously, so I don't have any general advice beyond "simplify" and examine the processes and resources your developers use and say they need. Every process and resource should have cost, benefit, and risk assigned. Left to themselves programmers too often add complexity and process for its own sake, or out of unexamined adherence to "best practices."

Small cities died because of increased crop farming efficiency, factory livestock farming and decreased heavy industry/manufacturing in the US.

I absolutely love the doomerism in your second paragraph. If you listen to those who buy into the whole climate armageddon thing, you would think that by 2030 large swaths of the US are going to be uninhabitable or under water.

No, the West isn’t going to burn away. We just need to resume good forestry practices and not build houses in precarious places.

Similarly in FL, this has little to do with “climate change” but rather an elimination of Government subsidized risk taking so the full insurance cost is bore by the property owners and not taxpayers.

Interesting about caffeine helping. It works as a vasoconstrictor - constricting the blood vessels. It can be helpful with migraines, too, but too much can also trigger a migraine. Lots of things are like that with migraines.

From that, I'd also imagine with tinnitus similar things would help that help with migraines - like proper sleep, a sleep routine, well hydration, low stress, and avoiding triggers. Triggers for migraines can be things like types of food, smells (fake lavender does me in fast/hard and many other smells), bright lights, etc.

People being bad at at hiring is really orthogonal to whether people want someone who just does what they're told, or who also partially controls the direction of their work. You're making the assumption that it's some idiot owner hiring people, when it could just as easily been that the owner has hired someone with a particular vision to run their company, and that person needs you not for your creativity, but your level of craft.

It doesn't make me bad at hiring painters if I don't want them to have a say in the color.

* and the solution they come up with is correct more often.

The article title refers to something that's been long known even in pop science since Daniel Kahnemann's "Thinking Fast and Slow". In fact, the original paper[0] even cites Daniel Kahnemann's work:

> Simulation results indicate that decision-making speed is traded with accuracy, resembling influential theories from the fields of economy and psychology on fast and slow thinking.

Kahnemann's work might be summarized (very roughly) as follows: "System 1" often quickly suggests an intuitive (and frequently wrong) answer, whereas "System 2" is the part that does the slower, more rational, and conscious thinking. "Intelligent" people tend to be those who control their System 1 and thus their urge for intuitive answers more effectively.

And indeed this is what the article says, too:

> Resting-state functional MRI scans showed that slower solvers had higher average functional connectivity, or temporal synchrony, between their brain regions. In personalized brain simulations of the 650 participants, the researchers could determine that brains with reduced functional connectivity literally “jump to conclusions” when making decisions, rather than waiting until upstream brain regions could complete the processing steps needed to solve the problem.

> “In more challenging tasks, you have to store previous progress in working memory while you explore other solution paths and then integrate these into each other. This gathering of evidence for a particular solution may sometimes takes longer, but it also leads to better results.

However, if I understand correctly, the thing about the research here that's actually novel is that they now have a better understanding of the neural processes underlying System 1 vs. System 2 ("we identified a mechanistic link between functional connectivity, intelligence, processing speed and brain synchrony for trading accuracy with speed in dependence of excitation-inhibition balance") and that they in fact simulated the brain digitally, see my other comment.

> Pretty much everyone gets sued at some point in their career, but it's rare to break through the malpractice insurance ceiling.

Attorneys don't want to ruin a doctor's career by going above the limit of their malpractice into personal funds. They target the policy as their bogey and work from there.
Haha I worked on some of these teams and can confirm. It’s a meat grinder with code delivery at all costs
I've said before to other technical folks that the interview process in tech is more a measure of ability to handle anxiety and stress than whether one can solve problems competently and gracefully. Granted, in my current role I make it clear to candidates that they may have to perform under pressure at 2 am when there's an outage possibly due to their code or even others' and many people are relying upon you in particular for guidance. I also make it clear that we do a LOT of things to keep such a skill from being required but no process is perfect so being able to handle such a situation without panicking is an important factor in the hiring criteria because each of those situations I can count have been very important and high impact (it's part of why they're so stressful, right?).

Every other practice we have in our interview process is justified based upon historical precedent as well as a team decision for where the team wants to go next.
The point is: Even though WebPKI isn't perfect, it's still for all practical purposes a whole lot better than DNSSEC.

How should we refer to AI applications like chatbots? He/she/it/they?
We often use human-like language to describe AI. And there is a word for it: anthropomorphism in AI.

The media is ignoring the very real issue of anthropomorphism in AI. But it has serious consequences.

How do you refer to AI chatbots or other technologies? Do you give them nicknames?
To be fair, I suspect many developers would also prefer their dependencies never deprecating anything either.
I was about to quote the same thing and say "yes, please". If the plan is to replace what is being deprecated with something truly better, then by all means, let's do it. But if it's more about resume padding by re-writing in the latest hot language, then I'd just as soon skip it. Of course, telling the difference is never so simple.

The public school system I went to has around a million students in it, and had a complete ban on cellphones until 2014. My understanding is that phones are still banned on a school-by-school basis, although there is no longer a system-wide policy.

Banning phones in schools isn’t popular with students (and is unenforceable on the long tail), but it’s the only actual tool that schools have here. Filing lawsuits with social media companies makes for fun headlines, but it doesn’t grant them standing.
Thanks for your reply. Solara looks great.

> For instance making reusable components in Python is a real benefit.

I think that could be a big benefit for us because we ran into problems when we wanted to create a custom component for a different Data Grid in Pynecone. In particular we tried to wrap AG Grid but ran into problems when we tried to change the styling because we couldn't overwrite the DIV element's class. Is that something that would be possible in Solara?
