Even as a non civil engineer I can understand floor plans and alikes and find then immediately useful. Even as a professional SWE these example diagrams don't seem useful or informative enough to justify bothering with them.

Code is too multidimensional to be approximated with 2d drawings. It just doesn't work.

What could work are more conventional architectural code patterns. Things like structured concurrency, but also for higher level. Maybe.

Like living anywhere there are pros and cons. The pros list is pretty freaking long, and the cons list has gotten smaller over the years.

This situation has certainly added a con to the list, though it hasn’t changed the balance of the equation so far.

For me, the whole thing is more emotionally taxing than anything. Though it’s not that different from living in Manhattan in terms of the sadness you see every day.

and a camera; and a wallet with all the cards you use? maybe the landscape of featurephones is different now, but i only knew of 1 or two (kyocera) that allowed tethering, so now you also have to figure out how to get internet onto your pocket computer - another sim, another bill. Perhaps you need a GPS device too (my car has one built in, but my wife's doesn't, for example).

I was going to just post a link to a picture of my cellphone graveyard drawer; i've been saying this same sentiment for the 12 or so years i've owned a smartphone. I even bought two Nikon 1 cameras to obviate the need for a decent cellphone camera. I have a servicable netbook (eeePC), too.

The most expensive cellphone i ever bought was $300. In theory, i could carry a Nintendo Switch, Nikon 1, feature phone, GPS unit, and a netbook around with me... or this absolute garbage OnePlus that i hate using enough that i only use it when necessary, like to SMS/MMS or something as silly as making or receiving a telephone call.

The authors acknowledge that it's a possibility. But there are mitigating circumstances. From the article: "the Sibiu Archive was founded in 1465 and it has been officially operating since that year. So, the two well-preserved documents of 1475 immediately began to be stored in the city’s official archive."
55° seems ideal if you want to launch at an inclination high enough that the orbits will go over Germany (the domestic tech stuff mentioned in the article) or areas that are of interest for defense reasons (eg Russia)
In my experience, the problem is not the way the reviewer/reviewee relationship is framed, but more about ego spoiling this relationship. One of both think they know better / have more experience or leverage, and that they are entitled to accept or reject as they see fit. The other person (no matter if they are reviewer or reviewee) gets frustrated. The result is that quality does not increase.
Yeah that poster comes across as very weird with that contrived, overly polite and formal tone.
Obviously, this approach might not work for everyone, but I like to self-host my repos and use a git hook (post-receive) like this:

#!/bin/sh
BUILDDIR=/home/buildhook/.ib-build
BUILD=`grep build |cut -d" " -f2`
if [ -n "$BUILD" ]
then
touch $BUILDDIR/$BUILD
fi

And then the buildhook user has a job that runs every minute by cron:

#!/bin/sh
BUILDDIR=/home/buildhook/.ib-build
BUILD=`ls -t $BUILDDIR | head -1`
if [ -n "$BUILD" ]
then
rm -f $BUILDDIR/$BUILD
(
echo Building $BUILD on builder...
ssh builder time ./build $BUILD
) 2>&1 | mail -s "Building $BUILD on builder" build@example.com
fi

For my use case, on this repo, pushing to a branch with the word "build" in its name will trigger a build of that commit, which builds and packages it into a dpkg, and the build server hosts a private apt repository so I can just `apt-get update; apt-get install blah` on all the servers.

An alternative strategy is pushing to a different repo on a build server, etc.

Interesting points. The Economist is great (so long as you read it with an eye open for their normal media bias).

Nitpick:

> In almost no other countries do you need a prescription for eyeglasses.

In New Zealand the eye details from your optician are called a prescription. Opticians and eyewear is mostly paid for privately (except people on government benefits and children get theirs paid for by the public). I'm not sure if private insurance offers a glass coverage option.

Mostly, this article is pointing out emergent behaviours of a set of rules. How can we design self-optimising economic systems that are better than capitalism & democracy?

You shouldn't see a Cloudflare captcha at all, if you do then you're probably using Cloudflare as your DNS.

The guy who maintains archive.today and friends has beef with Cloudflare for leaving off certain location information from their DNS requests, so he redirects all traffic coming from their DNS servers right back to Cloudflare.
First, as evidenced by every discussion on HN ever, you’re not going to get agreement between people on what annoying is in terms of a website.

So whatever metric you use, there’s going to be subjectivity.

Some ideas:

• Create a Chrome extension that asks people to thumbs up/down a website then collect those results.

• Do a Facemash thing like in Social Network – put 2 sites side by side and ask which is more annoying

• Create your own Annoyance Index that can be automated. Say start with 100 points and subtract X points for a pop up, Y points for scrolljacking, Z points for ad block detection, etc. etc. Figure out the threshold for annoying/not annoying and there you go

Obviously there’s going to be a ton of bias in whatever you come up with. And you’ll have to decide whether a good site can be annoying or not.
Wouldn't it be trivial for HN to automatically create an alternative archive link?
I loved it! Thanks!
The last part resumes my thinking:
These attributes are starting to look a bit more like some other code constructs we’ve seen in the past: the register keyword as an optimization hint to put things in registers and the inline keyword as an optimization hint to inline function bodies into the call site. Using register or inline for these purposes is often strongly discouraged because experience has shown …
My take is: 99.9% of the time, when you start shaving some CPU cycles here and there, instead of doing algorithmic optimization, something is going wrong.
we would be better served looking at boring things like medicares 3 million pages of medical claim guidelines, clearing house operations and conflicts of interest, better incentives for state level responsibility, antitrust litigation, lots of practical things that don't make click bait headlines.

It would also be nice to reform the FDA and the clinical trial system: https://bessstillman.substack.com/p/please-be-dying-but-not-...

"Antitrust litigation" covers this, but to spell it out, the increasing monopolization of many local healthcare systems is a huge problem.
So, it basically sounds like we are missing a governed body consiting or researched with possibly tiered disclosure process (for severity) and the possibility to _maybe_ apply for an extension of disclosure. Would this ever happen?
Not a fan of MS as a business.

But the tech that built the business is fascinating. Surprised to see an 81 y/o still working. Dude looks good.

Haven’t fully watched the episode (3hrs long!). But it’s queued.
150% would recommend. I've watched it through 3 times over the years. Can't say that for any other show!

If you do, commit to watching through the end of the second season, before you make a call.

It takes that long for the show to find its feet and the overarching plot to get really going.

And expect a lot of cheesy 90s stuff. Although way less than Star Trek!

But on the whole, IMHO, it's incredibly modern and prescient for when it was released. Far fewer disconnected "monster/problem of the day" than e.g. X-Files, and even those usually still have character interactions that do important world building.
True. But emergency only insurance can be much cheaper. Local labs can still send scan/blood results globally wherever the patients want. The bulk of lab costs is a medical doctor attesting/writing the report. That can be solved.

There was a post recently about a diabetic patient not able to afford the daily medicines. Most chronic problems require chronic medicines and regular consultation which can be solved.

One issue someone might raise is the quality of doctors. I have heard tons of cases from friend I know where the doctors have messed up here. It is mostly about reviews and trust, and applies globally, and can be an individual preference.
That's all well and good, but it then predicts that all possible outcomes have equal probability, and this is measurably false.

Say you design the experiment such that the observer will see the cat is alive if 2 particles both have spin up, and dead if any particle has spin down. Say the Schrodinger equation will assign equal amplitudes to the 4 possible states (up-up, up-down, down-down, down-up), and let's ignore the composite states (e.g. 1/sqrt(2)up-up + 1/sqrt(2)up-down). So, the cat-alive (up-up) state has an amplitude which is 3* the amplitude of the cat-dead state (up-down + down-up + down-down).

In a naive interpretation of MWI that only used the Schrodinger equation, there are two versions of the observer, so the probability that the observer sees one outcome versus the other is obviously 1/2: you either happen to be the version that sees the cat alive, or you happen to be the one that sees it dead. This reasoning will work if we repeat the experiment many times: since the repetitions are independent, if I repeat it 10 times, I expect that I will happen to be one of the observers who sees the cat alive about 5 times, and dead about 5 times as well. In your interpretation, the amplitude of the Schrodinger equation is irrelevant, as long as it is greater than 0: all possible events happen.

If I actually do the experiment though, I will see the cat alive only about 2.5/10 times, since the total amplitude of the wavefunction for all states where the cat is alive is much lower than the total amplitude of all states where the cat is dead.

So, the actual MWI says that, while there are two kinds of worlds, they are not equally likely. In the multitude of all worlds, the prevalence of worlds where the cat is alive is proportional to the wavefunction amplitude of the cat-alive state (about 1/4) and the ones where the cat is dead follows the same logic (about 3/4). So, given that I am one observer in one of the many worlds, the chance I am the observer in a world where the cat is alive is only 1/4.

But this connection between the number of worlds and the amplitude of the wavefunction is an additional assumption atop the Schrodinger equation. Sure, the wavefunction doesn't collapse, but it splits according to the exact same formula as the collapse in the CI (Born's rule).

And I again want to mention that even this is not enough. If |cat-alive> and |cat-dead> are solutions to the Schrodinger equation, then so is x|cat-alive>+y|cat-dead>, for an infinite number of x and y real numbers. The MWI has to explain why no observer ever actually perceives such a state (how this state would look like to to an observer is not even definable). Decoherence solves this, and it was an extremely important contribution, but it also adds an additional assumption (that CI also needs): some pre-existing classical-like background.

Why would any company do that?
The "nondeterministic" in NP ("Nondeterministic polynomial") means that problems in NP can be solved in polynomial time by a nondeterministic Turing machine. Such a machine would be like what people incorrectly think quantum computers would be, in the sense that it would explore all the possible paths at once. It's the same meaning as in a nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) vs a deterministic finite automaton (DFA).

The question of P vs NP is not whether we haven't determined if we can do a particular computation (either at all or in polynomial time). It's whether a deterministic Turing machine could solve in polynomial time the same class of problems that we _know_ a nondeterministic Turing machine could solve in polynomial time.

Of course, the nondeterministic Turing machine is not a physically realistic model of computation.
>Did Raspberry Pi fail at its original mission of inspiring young programmers?

Mostly yes, with a big but. Obviously the Pi has succeeded on its own terms in the hobbyist community (and industry, to a remarkable degree), but it was just too complicated and fragile and fiddly for most schoolkids to handle. The lessons from the failure of the RPi in education were the basis for the BBC micro:bit, a much simpler dev board based on an ARM microcontroller.

The micro:bit is just a brilliant tool for teaching the first stages of CS and EE. There are multiple toolchains supporting Scratch, Swift, MicroPython and a variety of block-based visual programming environments. It can be programmed directly from a browser-based IDE, so you can get to hello world very quickly and it works on essentially any device with nothing to install. It has Bluetooth and a bunch of sensors, so it can do fun and interesting things.

I don't use react or vue. In fact, these days I don't use any frameworks, personally.

You're absolutely correct the important decision is knowing when it's pertinent, i.e. when it serve organizational goals which of course vary by sector, project, and a dozen or more variables; and that was my point.

Doctors can rack up hundreds of thousands in debt just getting to the point where they can bill. Additionally, malpractice insurance is insanely expensive, as are rents in typical medical spaces. I can't see what doctors charge going down without addressing at least some of this.

> These are probably emergent effects of capitalism.

Regulated, subsidized capitalism. If insurance was only for catastrophic losses, and all premiums (government, employee and employer paid) were instead paid into things like health savings accounts, network and oligopolistic effects would start to disappear. Maybe not disappear entirely, but instead of locking people into networks the effort would go into marketing their networks as 'the best'.

You could also fiddle with pharmaceutical costs by allowing the patent monopolies to exist until a certain amount of revenue is collected from the patent, and then negate the patent. Instead of the current system with time-limited patents. This would massively disincentivize a lot of pharma-to-physician marketing (at least until the patent expires). Though there would still be some incentive to profit before the next drug comes out that makes yours irrelevant.
Which leads to the real problem. People have been treating real estate like an investment for decades now. You're essentially going to wipe out the wealth of all the middle class by doing so, so you're up against an immovable wall of political incentive for the current system to persist.
I think the posters comment was in a vacuum- I, too, did not consider cost when I got a surgery.

It was part because costs aren't transparent, but also because the costs were the same to me after deductible.

Her argument wasn't that you should be able to go from level 8 to 10 in two years.

Her argument was that she should have come in at level 9.

The Bloomberg article clarified it like this:

"She came into the job with 23 years of experience in the financial services and technology field but was hired as a level eight employee while other men who were hired at the same time as her, and allegedly had less experience, were hired at level nine. As a level eight employee, Rowe made about $750,000 a year while some of the level nine employees made over $1 million a year."

Thanks for this.

How much are regulations to blame for this mess? ie if we cut regulation, would that lead to lower cost and better outcomes?

What is the path to fix this?
It’s not just HHS, it’s typically at the state level where they ask the hospitals — https://reason.com/2020/02/26/these-state-level-health-care-...

I’ve seen first hand hospitals “justify” not letting competitors as local hospitals always give input (they need to pull records). What happens is the hospitals generate projected reports and showing they’d be bankrupt if another hospital is allowed.
It's more of a principle achievement, like, "hey Intel, come cause a shooting spree at my local grocery store while I'm there, because, anybody who did similar DIY things in the automobile-hydrogen space met a similar fate from that industry!" [1]

You hit it right on the head calling it an unplanned jobs program. So many jobs are unnecessary busy work (Grabers bullshit jobs) that only exist because of this insistence that people have to earn their living by sitting at a desk all day.

The reality is that the current standard of living could be maintained or even increased with many fewer people working. Or an even better standard could be reached if those people could be doing jobs that are actually useful like construction, nursing, or basic scientific research.

Unfortunately the economic system doesn’t value those things so people only do them if they’re desperate, passionate, or independently wealthy.
It's an odd article. The basic thesis is "use pgo instead", which is reasonable enough. It starts with a long diversion through edge cases of the attributes, none of which seemed particularly impactful in practice. Perhaps he was worried that just recommending pgo on its own wouldn't convince many people. There are many situations where you can't enable pgo organizationally, for example if you're part of a large company with a centralized build system, or if you package a library meant to be inlined, and want your code to be optimized even when it's built without pgo. The comparison to `register` and `inline` are interesting, but not very useful imo. Whether a given variable will benefit from being put in a register, or a function from being inlined, is usually very local information. The compiler can see when the variable will be accessed down the road, and hence whether moving it to the stack will tend to slow down later code. Whether a branch is likely or unlikely will frequently depend on information the compiler doesn't have (sans pgo), such as the distribution of an argument variable. In fact, it seems like this very information would be useful to a compiler in determining if it should inline a function or keep a variable in a register.
They'd like to go to top universities because they're the best. Being private is just one more filter that stops poor people from getting the education they deserve.

There's always winners and losers with any type of change. Look at COVID. Some companies thrived and had their best years ever and others went bankrupt and closed down.

A lot of negotiators talk about win-win agreements which may be true with just two parties. I think once you get beyond that, no true win-win agreement is possible and some people are going to lose out. Trying to appease every single interest group is what leads to a lack of progress.

> We, *people who really understand the technology* that the world runs on, are a slowly dying breed

Thus one has to conclude that young people, not having perseverance, do not really understand technology (and lacking such basic skill, never will).
The principle in that case is elasticity of demand, not competition. As in, my mother always made sure to beat ambulances to us when school or sports reported us injured, because she was worried we wouldn't be confident enough to shoo them away on our own.

> There are even models of computation where the halting problem is solvable (typically called hyper-computation).

BTW, it's not only hyper-computation that can solve the halting problem.

The halting problem is decidable in models of computation that have finite state (although the decider machine does need more state than the machine being analyzed).
