Meanwhile I've been reading this New Yorker piece this morning: https://www.newyorker.com/science/annals-of-medicine/reinven...

Reinventing the E.R. For America's Mental Health Crisis (subtitle: EmPATH units are advancing a radically new approach to psychiatric emergencies. It seems to be working.)
A closure is a separate concept from OO; you can have OO languages with or without closures.

I am looking for the first CS publication that literally used the term "object-oriented". The conceptual origin of OO is well known and documented in CS literature.
Yeah definitely agree, Taleb has warned us about such teleological explanations.

As far as I remember, Woz's biography is good evidence that you don't need the idea of "boolean logic" to design circuits. That did come after the fact -- the way it's taught, not the way it was invented

I think he just said he figured it all out himself essentially, and often did a lot better than the pros. Some of his claims were suspect to me, but I do think his claimed ignorance of prior work is genuine :)

Shannon did come decades earlier though, so the designs of somebody who was influenced by Shannon probably influenced Woz. It's hard to tease apart, but I agree with "evolution" and "tinkering" as the main explanations.

The entertaining explanations are the ones that tend to stick in our minds, but they're not necessarily true

---

The other example I think of is when I look at Debian -- a lot of it is not at all what the Unix inventors had in mind. Debian/Linux basically looked at an artifact and then came up with their own divergent ideas around them

Likewise Woz probably looked at a lot of computers, but he didn't have much of an idea what the creators were thinking -- just the artifacts themselves
There's been a pretty steady trend towards automation, chatbots, self-service, etc. replacing getting an empowered human on the line. Given labor costs and labor shortages, expect even more.

So, why can't one go through its own choice of treatment? Disregarding if its a good choice or a bad one.

This is a great one and one that I think will be useful to you particularly concerning your goal.

These quotes in particular may be of interest to you if you are unsure or limited in time. If they sound interesting, read through the rest of the paper.

“We lecturers naturally worry about the content of our lectures rather than the emotions we express in giving them. As human beings, students respond immediately to the emotive charge, even if they do not understand the content. The lecturer may have tried to give a balanced account of the debate between X and Y, but his preference for Y shines through. When the students come to write the essay on the relative merits of X and Y, they know where to put their money. The lecturer might try to balance the lecture by suppressing his enthusiasm for Y, but this 'objective' presentation will make a mystery of the whole exercise. The students will wonder why they have to sit through all this stuff about X and Y when even the lecturer does not seem to care much for either of them. The better strategy is for the lecturer to plunge into the works of X, reconstruct X's mental world and re-enact X's thoughts until he shares some of X's intellectual passions. We can be sure that X had intellectual passions, else we would not now have the works of X.”

“Remember Dr. Richards on Tolstoy? If Tolstoy's view really is 'plainly untrue then there is no point mentioning it. If Tolstoy's view is worth mentioning, then it is worth inhabiting Tolstoy's position, reconstructing his thought and thus feeling the force of his motives. Nothing less will bring Tolstoy's thought to life, which you have to do if the students are to see any point in learning about it. Victory over a corpse is no less pyrrhic than victory over a straw man.”

He may not be too far along from the standpoint of inclusion criteria; rather he believes he is likely to die before he is able to join the study.

Stuart McGill recommends periodically standing and stretching your arms over your head a couple times. You can see the motion demonstrated here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bcbuhePZZj0&t=459s

He also recommended doing the cat-cow from yoga, and there's a set of exercises referred to as the McGill big 3.

Every empire that ever was and is no more are also losers then I guess. I guess all the native populations that got owned by invading armies and more advanced technology coming from Europe in the Discoveries were losers too. This whole loser thing is funny until it's about someone you identify with, so better not even start it.

I don't think reducing consumption is at odds with increasing the sustainability of energy, and I wouldn't and didn't suggest otherwise anyway. They both should be done.

this article is fluff, that exploits Lancaster tourist take on the amish to clickbait into strange and deceptive conclusions.

there are two important points, ordnung is on per community basis, and second point is that the technology is exclusively used to facilitate business. (with the usual disclaimer that ordnung is often violated, for personal sinful reasons, like making personal, superficial calls on business cellphone, or taking business truck on personal trips).

therefore nobody "runs diesel for light" as a substitute for kerosine lamps, unless in gross violation of ordnung. those are not going anywhere. diesel, John deer tractors, ford trucks, cellphones, and now apparently solar panels are used in some communities to make farming work more effective with a smaller numbers in a community. Lancaster might afford to till soil with drafting horses, because they have large resource surplus, but smaller communities often rely on machinery to give them economic advantage.

from this perspective there's nothing special about the solar panels. they are a calculated and controlled addition to an existing roster of technological allowances.
The quotes from wikiquote:

> "The real problem is that programmers have spent far too much time worrying about efficiency in the wrong places and at the wrong times; premature optimization is the root of all evil (or at least most of it) in programming."

and another instance of the same:

> "Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%."

https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Donald_Knuth#Computer_Programm...

I'm not really seeing much of a "misquote" to be honest. I have always understood this quote to mean that spending too much time micro-optimizing things unnecessarily will waste your time and become a burden to you later. Instead, optimizations should only be performed when the need for optimization becomes manifest.

I’m ignoring that part because it is nearly impossible to prognosticate prior to initiation of systemic therapy, with the exception of some phenotypes but we don’t have the pathology report in this case.

My point is that he doesn’t even meet the inclusion criteria for these studies, regardless of aggressiveness. This has nothing to do with the FDA, he can’t join the studies because Moderna doesn’t want to study him at this point and not because he won’t survive long enough to enroll.

Whether or not his prognosis statement is correct.

There is a huge problem with this idea, it suggests that a competent critic has usable skill in an area. This is obviously false.

Moreover I see it as a huge problem in our current environment of easy access to Youtube explainers of everything. In my areas of expertise I come across many more people that 'talk the talk' than can actually 'walk the walk'.

Steve Jobs got into alternative medicine to treat his pancreatic cancer, including trying a fruitarian diet. Since he had a rare form that isn’t as fatal as pancreatic cancer usually is, there’s a chance he could have survived significantly longer if he had instead treated it with traditional, non-experimental medicine.
> A simple way to stem most snake oil is to put all payments for snake oil treatments into escrow till the treatment is approved.

Even simpler is to prohibit payments for these experimental treatments, but let people who whould die anyway participate in them as long as it is free for them. In return the drug companies could use the outcomes as data points towards their aproval applications.

Why would a drug manufacturer do that? Why would they offeir their advanced but as of yet unaproved drugs for free? It is true it would cost them the manufacturing cost of the drug, but what they get in return is data on how efficient/safe the drug is. Assuming the drug works well they could use that data to prove their case and get approval. And if it is safe and has the desired effect they get their aproval and they could then charge for their drug as usual.

This sets the right incentives for the drug company. If they know they are selling snake oil they would be crazy to offer it for free, especially because all it would do is to prove that it does not work. If they think it can work they gamble with their own money. Which is good because the drug company knows the most about their own drug. The patient in general is not knowledgeable enough to evaluate the chances of an experimental therapy, but the drug company is.

Leaving a toxic environment makes it less toxic for everyone else. Even the worst bosses will respond to the fact that people are walking out the door and nobody is walking in.

Sure, but they did rubber stamp Fen-phen and Vioxx despite plenty of people within the FDA understanding it should come with a black box warning. The FDA needs a win that's more recent than 1971 if they want to demonstrate their efficacy as regulators.
The Amish are not a monolithic group, which technologies they use is up to each community and church. The core idea though, that they should carefully study technologies and its effects before adapting them is sound. If we were less willing to adapt automobiles over streetcars and walking, tearing up our cities and paving it over with parking lots, how different would our society be? Would it be better or worse?
I agree more/most folks ought to try them under the right circumstances (yada yada mental health caveat here), but I also know plenty of psychonauts who are complete pricks, even some who have broken through on DMT and are still complete wastes of oxygen as humans. Go figure.

It’s all silly theater. CLEAR has revenue share deals with airports to allow you to cut the TSA line. The TSA is already rolling out identity verification similar to what CLEAR tried to implement. TSA identity proofing is still the requirement.

I think this is very unlikely. For one, the notebook does not contain all the information - say "Bank1 Password" - which bank is that? What's the username? What about 2FA?

He turned down owning the entire country. Do you know of anyone that meets your standard?

The French Revolutionaries, Washington's contemporaries, didn't own anybody. How'd that work out? I'll help. Millions dead, and they arrived right back where they started with Napoleon declaring himself hereditary monarch of France.

How about all the other revolutions in the Americas?
The first right enumerated in the Declaration of Independence (not declaration of liberty or equality or rights) is the first sentence: the right to dissolve political bonds. And the US actually did it again after the Revolution when the Articles of Confederate were replaced by the Constitution.

Please explain to me how the states which dissolved their bonds with the United States and declared their independence from it (many of which had done so during the Revolution and had ratified both the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution while slavery was legal, and several of which did not secede until after the U.S. fired on Ft. Sumpter) were different in exercising the right to dissolve political bonds?

Bonus points if you can do it without saying but but muh racist. If you don't accept the first sentence of the Declaration the rest of it is null and void.

(While you're at the explain how the three-fifths compromise actually strengthened slave states (who wanted to count each slave as 1 person) because it actually weakened them and also, most importantly, enshrined slaves as persons and not property in the Constitution with the consentand ratification of those states where slavery was still legal.)

> The author seems to forget that entering a trial doesn't necessarily give you access to the treatment. You have as many chances to be in the control group receiving a placebo.

This is untrue, in this case.

Typically, only some phase 2 and phase 3 trials are randomised; the treatments that the author refers to are at an earlier stage of development and so not in either of these phases. All patients will receive the active therapy.

It's also worth noting that for cancer trials, while new treatments in these later phases may be tested against a placebo, it's never just a placebo - that would be unethical. If the new treatment is an add-on to an existing standard-of-care treatment, then they'll receive the standard-of-care treatment in the placebo group. If it's not an add-on, then it will be tested directly against the standard-of-care. If there isn't an established SoC, it can sometimes be approved without a randomised trial, if the results are good enough.

I completely agree. Ironically, the existentialist should be more concerned about general welfare, not less. There is no afterlife to set things right. We should not be surprised that ethical hedonists like Peter Singer are so concerned about animal welfare.

We suffer almost certainly because it's an evolutionary adaptive feature for us we picked up somewhere along the way. It is no surprise that the general suffering we find in developed countries, namely loneliness, is directly related to human reproduction.

Is it a generally happy or sad state of affairs? Who's to say. It's our state of affairs, and we best do what we can to make the most of it.

Black Hat Answer- Yes,put all your client logos on your website.

White Hat Answer- No, protect your clients in case your services or software could be used as a gateway into your high profile clients.
How it is implemented is irrelevant.

The Standard C function system() is defined to execute a shell process and its semantics do not depend on how a process is executed by the host operating system.

Obviously in any UNIX-derived OS a shell process must be executed via fork and exec, and the shell itself executes children processes also via fork and exec. Under other operating systems no fork or exec are used.

What matters is that system() is not defined as a combination of fork with exec, but it does a more complex operation, with a greater overhead, and which works more or less in the same way under any OS.

As others have mentioned, POSIX does have a wrapper for fork and exec, which is posix_spawn().
Bishops, hereditary peers, and the friends of ex prime ministers. It's great though.
I had the same questions when I was about your age and found a lot of intersting answers in the Linux source code. of course it was a lot simpler back then. what really got me going was the osdev community (much smaller back then) and Intels system architecture documentation. iirc part 3a or 3b was where the good stuff is. it tells you a lot less about how things are and a lot more about how things could be. you also get to learn plenty of fun things in OSDEV too like how 32bit processors did 36bit addressing with PAE or how 64bit processors did 52bit addressing to squeeze money out of people. how computers start in 16bit mode and you have to learn systems level assembly code gymnastics to make it to long mode, why there's an 8bit mode around, and more. if you liked learning about loading binaries, you'll love how many surprises still exist. like 64bit mode still including memory segmentation but forcing it to flat mapping for lonh mode
What are the unique features or approaches of Bugzilla compared to Jira? Before Jira was a thing, Redmine was (is?) very popular and often received better reviews than Bugzilla, so I was a bit surprised you mentioned Bugzilla.
I loved Redmine compared to every other system at the time, probably 10-15 years ago, but administering it was annoying. Even using their own install directions wouldn't necessarily work due to all the lame Ruby crap. Eventually it just fell off my radar as an option because of those headaches.

Edit: should mention I feel like this predated ubiquitous docker images for everything.
>I was there too. People always say this, but just because a thing changed once does not mean it will happen again.

The problem is that the web standards have now grown so much that it is impossible to write a complete new web browser from scratch. Firefox is not coming back, because Mozilla seems to prioritize other things than code quality and the actual usability of their software.

And yes, I know that the SerenityOS developers are trying to do it, but while some very advanced things work "good enough" in their browser so that Twitter and Discord's web client works to some extent, the more basic things are so broken that their browser cannot even render basic HTML 3.2 sites properly.

Google's end goal is probably to "deprecate" HTTP 1.x and force everyone into using their own replacement for the protocol. Their protocol is going to be like the thing they call "HTTP2", an insanely complex protocol that is impossible to implement by a small developer team. In the end their own protocol becomes a "rolling release" protocol that only works with Google's own app, at which point they can completely stop releasing RFCs for it.
