I remember it was calls to split Microsoft into separate companies, one for the operating system and one for the internet divisions. Looks like it’s time now.

Last time Microsoft had the default web browser they were horrible stewards of the web.
I’ll never forget them delaying supporting PNG.
Note that Kaiser has many (independent?) divisions.

Kaiser Northern California was the highest rated HMO in the US the last time I checked, but that experience doesn’t necessarily extend to other regions.
I don’t think that holds though because logic is a high level function of the brain not something fundamental to its design.
Does anyone turn the powder into tablets at home? I want to do this because I like the convenience of just grabbing a thing out of a bucket rather than dealing with loose powder. Do you do a mechanical press, or make a slurry in an ice cube tray and wait for the water to evaporate, or some other thing?

People consume goods and services which rely on oil. Act locally and stop consuming things which depend on oil and natural gas. Oil is used for more than electricity generation, so it will be a cave-person lifestyle.
I have found that the bad smell is usually a result of water sitting in the bottom of the dishwasher. and I think it may be due to water dripping off all the dishes after it has finished draining. I try to remember to push the drain button a few times a few hours after a cycle has completed to get all the water out of the bottom.

You are not talking about an MRI, nor a CT.

Magnet is fixed in an MRI and you just pulse fields in the XYZ directions to create gradients of magnetic field. The pulse emission and receiving antennas are fixed too.

In a CT scan, what is rotating is one or many xray sources and one or many detectors plus some electronics and cooling systems if needed.

PET scans have fixed rings of pairs of detectors. But they can also be combined with a CT in the same instrument.

Malthus was not correct. I'm trying to think of one commodity which has been used up, and I can't think of one though you can name a few.

Private property, free markets, and rule of law are not perfect. What system is better for a good standard of living for the masses?
Yes, that's right. Teams not needing to communicate, beyond API contracts, allows them to scale the service they provide. When sharing code in a monolith then you have to meetings when you want to make changes that impact other developers, and that will soon take your whole day when there are thousands of workers, leaving no time to do anything. That leaves service that cannot scale.

More simply, it takes how the macro economy scales software (and, really, most everything) and tries to apply the same processes in the micro.
As I understand it, Starlink was not “turned off” in the area, it was never even turned on to begin with.

The entitlement of people believing a private company should be forced to actively participate in a fucking war is insane. Ukraine should count its lucky stars Starlink existed at all and SpaceX went out of their way to activate it in Ukraine, no doubt attracting the attention of Russian state hackers.

At this point people would probably criticize Musk for denying Ukraine the use of a Falcon 9 as an ICBM…

I don’t have hard numbers, but: the “7th generation” Miele combi-steam oven heats up absurdly quickly, only uses a 20A/240V circuit [0], and stays hot for quite a while if you don’t let it do its automatic cooling cycle. There’s just not enough power available to it for it to be inefficient — it can’t cost $310/year for electricity at $0.3/kWh to use it for 150 hours per year. The oven itself is not cheap, though.

[0] At least here, a 208V element is not available. It works at 208V but not as well.

If you don't have time to write good tests, maybe consider not writing any tests.
I've worked for many a startup where we didn't have any tests because we rewrote everything every few months.

And that was ok because everyone was happy to have a lot of shit written fast.

I guess maybe what I'm trying to say is that shitty tests are sometimes worse than no tests.

Isn't there a saying that the benefits of regular checkup are a myth? Since they lead to over intervention or something? I know some places encourage regular health checkups whilst other places actually actively say it's a bad idea. Any doctor can chime in on this?

I’ve seen people bring up the whole “increased false positive rate” which is totally understandable but I don’t get how this couldn’t be a potential preventative diagnostic tool to be combined with annual physicals. Eg that unless something is obviously wrong you wouldn’t action based on any findings from a full body scan; instead you would retain the record and repeat the scan 12-24 months later. Compare anything notable for growth or other irregular change, rinse and repeat. I would imagine that would greatly decrease the amount of pointless imaging and biopsy done. There would certainly still be some done but is that not the case now?

I would imagine this is downplayed because us insurance companies are generally not huge fans of expensive preventative care procedures with little evidence base (and to the last point, fair). And additionally I’d imagine physicians and radiologists have some worry about the potential liability of things being incorrectly being labeled as benign or to be monitored and turning into malpractice claims.

So the evidence base gets established by rich people who can afford to cut insurance out of the equation and hire physicians that are open to these kinds of procedures. Unfair and something I’ll be very bitter about if I ever die of a cancer that could have been detected earlier if I was lucky enough to get imaged in the area for whatever reason.
I fill mine twice a year, with about 5-6 bags each fill. Maybe there are different sizes, but when I was shopping around, most seemed to have about the same capacity.

So for me, I'd say something that takes me about 30 minutes to do (including the trip to get the salt) twice a year is fairly low maintenance.

Interesting turn of phrase. Princess Di was far closer a contemporary of Jackie Kennedy than either are today. I can't imagine there is a large audience of people who would understand the reference to Princess Di but not Jackie Kennedy. Like saying "Will Rogers was the Red Skelton of his era". Iykyk.

Is it greenwashing? The vast majority of people won’t complain to the manufacturer, they’ll just recognize it doesn’t dry very well.

Although my understanding is drying cycles are longer than the actual run time. They heat up the ceramic and glass then turn off the heater and let the moisture evaporate. Opening the dish washer slightly and letting it sit for a while will usually completely dry the dishes.
This is one of the biggest temptations that developers must resist - becoming too reliant on software that abstracts away a kill.

Some examples:

Wordpress, Squarespace etc - abstracts away knowing how to set up a web server, design pages, and write HTML/CSS/Javascript

GitHub GUI - abstracts away understanding git through the CLI, knowing how to fix unusual conflicts, and creates an inaccurate mental picture of how VCS works. This applies to many UIs that mask an equivalent CLI tool.
The difference is that unit tests are checked automatically, and logs require manual inspection.
These two projects [1][2] do a similar thing to LiveView: creating reactive frontend applications by patching the DOM, but without requiring JavaScript.

this is so true.

I go even further - for the browser level tests, avoid using “testid” or css classes or anything that is “implementation”, but rely in your test on solely things that the user can read / interact with.

So don’t “Press button with id “generate”, but the button that says “save” inside the content element titled “generation”.

This way any refactoring work would not require test changes (as it should) and any change of the visible ui / workflow to the user would require an adjustment to the test.

This is a style that I learned from ruby’s integration testing framework “capybara”, and have been replicating it wherever I can since.

A nice bonus is that if you switch rendering technologies, you can reuse the tests (like react native for example).
The sdr situation is rough right now. The typical people who are hams and are buying the bulk of the radios are not the kind of people who are great with computers at anywhere near the level necessary to benefit from SDR. These same people also fight back against regulatory changes that would benefit the strengths of sdr (usually anything bandwidth related).

There are products out there but they generally require SWE level expertise to use unless all you want to do is listen to AM/FM. The only one that really has gotten anywhere is the IC-7300 but it's software locked to behave like an old superhet radio but with a waterfall and it famously doesn't allow IQ output because the legacy manufacturers are assholes. Everyone is market segmenting heavily off of firmware features instead of allowing the hardware to be used for custom applications so very few makers are doing interesting things with sdr beyond the rtl-sdr.

Another great option is hydrogen fuel cells.

Check this out. The "Sea Change" ferry, hydrogen fuel cell powered.

https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/lcti-zero-emission-hydrogen-ferry-dem...

They take renewable hydro power from Hetch Heychy Reservoir, pipe it to the SF waterfront where they have already invested in a big electric backbone along the water to be able to power the cruise (and other) ships that dock there. Normally these large ships run their onboard engines/generators while docked because of the insane amount of power they draw. Not in SF, they're powered by clean hydro while docked there. They then have a floating fuel barge that is right where the ferry docks. That fuel barge takes that clean hydro power and disassociates sea water into hydrogen and oxygen. That hydrogen is then pumped onto the ferry and bam. End to end renewable giant boat.

Based on the power and range needed, as you suggest, I think solutions like these are more suitable for this application

I looked into a full body scan about a year ago after hearing from someone I trust that they had one done.

While I didn’t end up moving forward with one, I was struck by how weak the arguments against having one done were. They amounted to:

- There’s a strong chance you’ll be sent on a wild goose chase or two after seeing something on the scan that is meaningless

- They only find something that actually turns out to be concerning in a small percentage of people

- This isn’t a cost effective approach to early diagnosis for most people

I’m sorry, but if I’m at a place in my life where this is a reasonable expense, even 1% odds such a scan turns up something genuinely troublesome is very worth it. It’s a life we are talking about.
The radiologist is a specialized medical doctor. They are not cheap. My neighbor is one, and she makes a considerable amount of money. They’re not technicians, and good ones command more than most surgeons.
Windows is effectively also the reason for the modular PC platform to exist. If peak Windows also means peak modular hardware, it's a dim future with closed Apple and Android-style hardware. Nothing's composable, OS is bound to the specific piece of hardware.
> when I lived in the Midwest I could barely tell the water softener was there

I guess it depends on how hard the water is, I suppose, but could also be the type of softener. I'm not sure, I haven't done a lot of research on it, as it seems to just work.

But in my experience, I can tell a huge difference (vs. the house we moved from that didn't have a softener). I never see any scale on our appliances, faucets, shower doors, etc.

When showering, I can tell when I've forgotten to refill the salt just from the feel of the water.

NEVER allow dishes in the dishwasher that haven't been wiped off, in any way you choose, into the garbage. (un-wiped dishes allow the food particles into your kitchen drain line where it will congeal. Over time it will trap water and rot out copper drain lines found in older homes.)

Garbage disposals are nick named "plumbers gold" for the same reason above. Only use them to flush water down the sink drain before running the dishwasher, NOT for dicing up what comes off dirty plates.

The kitchen drain line most likely runs below your living room floor in the concrete slab. It is very costly to have the carpet/tile removed and the slab sawed up to replace the line, usually with PVC.
They did learn a lesson; from Google and Apple.
Does this take into account the high maintenance cost and running costs of an MRI? my understanding is that they have to run 24x7x365.
Perhaps AI can optimize MRI operating costs. But the question then is whether those savings would be passed on to the patient or accrued by the manufacturer and hospital as extra margin.
Wow that is wild and creative. Never heard that idea, did you just come up with that?

The rigidity and cost savings come from the fact that they don’t have to spend money negotiating with themselves about whether to pay a bill.

On average, 33 cents of every insurance dollar in the US goes to paperwork and paid negotiators on the doctor or insurance company side.

If hospitals and insurance companies established a standardized (regional) fixed price list for all procedures, auto-approved everything and asked patients to occasionally spot check bills for care they received (for anti-fraud), then all that could be automated, and the balance could go to increasing quality of care without increasing prices.

That would make them cost-competitive and roughly as convenient as Kaiser, but also less rigid than Kaiser.
Out of curiosity, why didn't you go for it?

That's like saying that a simple linear regression predicting the wrong (x,y) value is just "being creative". The LLM is lacking in sufficient complexity to make the correct word prediction. It's not being creative, it is just flat out wrong.
There's also the fact that this was written 20 years after the event, and most college students are around the ages of 18-25. You can't remember an event you were born after, and most people don't remember much that happened before they were about 5. If you were 5 or less when it happened, you may not have even known that it happened for some time, depending on where you lived, how your parents handled it, and if you were in a daycare/school setting, what you got from others there.

>> I used to think that the names of the classes, methods and variables should be enough to understand what the program does. No comments should be needed. Over the years I have realized that some comments are needed and useful.

Comments are needed where there is more to the code than just reading it. Where there is some external reason WHY. Where it is written in a specific way for non-obvious reasons. Where there are pitfalls and dangers in changing the code. Where this specific approach is the result of fixing some problem and if you change it then you might be reintroducing a problem.

There's lots of reasons to comment your code, but mostly I think code should be the documentation.

The fewer comments the better, because then developers who come later will see comments and thing "this must be important because there is a comment here". Too many comments dilutes the value of comments.

When it really matters I start my comment with a couple of lines like this:

// LISTEN UP!!!
// LISTEN UP!!!

I have to say, it seems strange that the author EVER thought that no comments should ever be needed - that seems like a strange and dogmatic conclusion to have come to.
