The NHS is a failed system that absolutely nobody is envious of, except brits because for some weird reason, they seem to think that the alternative is poor people dying in the streets.

Similar systems as the NHS have been introduced and subsequently canned in favor of more sane approaches in other European countries, which now have better (but still socialized) healthcare as a consequence.

There is no central european country with a similar amount of health care horror stories than the UK, and none where it plays a similarly important role in its identity. It boggles the mind.

I worked as a garbage man to pay for the start of my software ventures. It was the best combination thinkable of sitting in a room on a chair behind a computer, being in the software clouds, typing away, and being outside, working out, having fun and getting enough sunlight.

These both completely different things balanced each other out perfectly.

> What a load of crap. Capitalism rewards existing capital. These people have opportunities 99.999999% will never have and still they got lucky. It's not about competence. It never is.

It's about both. Musk, Bezos, Gates, they sure did all get lucky, but they also had skill. Skill alone isn't enough, because there are plenty of people with more skill. Luck alone also isn't enough, because that would give a distribution like lottery winners rather than repeated year-on-year growth.

> Our current society rewards people that can lie, cheat and backstab while punishing those who care about anything other than profits. Just take a look at SBF and all the startup snake oil culture and it's clear they're not competent at anything that helps society.

That's a terrible argument. SBF was convicted and is awaiting sentencing, that's not rewarding his misbehaviour; "startup snake oil culture" is tautologically going to be the specific set of bad actors without telling you anything about the relative frequency compared to all startup culture; and the Effective Altruism movement, which has inspired many startups in many areas, is collectively quite embarrassed by the association with SBF.

Also, to be competent at lying, cheating and backstabbing, necessarily means "knowing how to get away with it" rather than just "does it". Niccolo Machiavelli wrote a book about that 500 years ago, and Chanakya wrote a treatise also covering those things about 1800 years before Machiavelli.

This is a site by journalists who cover religion, so their motivation for wanting the public to have some level of religious aptitude is probably different than religious adherents at large.

Yet your comment suggests that a greater religious aptitude among the public is a good thing, because it helps clear up misconceptions, and thus (arguably) is in furtherance of the truth.

For instance, it is a misconception that all religions are defined by dogma that its supporters say is the absolute truth. It is also a misconception that no religious people acknowledge that they might be wrong.
I dunno, I’ve just spent 18 months in Dubai, where I had private insurance, and it was a breeze. See a UK-trained specialist for almost anything within a day or two, and hospital direct billing meant I almost never had to interact with the insurer directly.

I guess my point is that as reassuring (as a Brit) as it is to know the NHS is there, private insurance isn’t necessarily bad if regulated well (and that matches my experience of having private insurance in the UK too), it’s just America’s seems incredibly poorly regulated.
This is nice work on graph visualization, but we learned years ago that readable network visualization does not necessarily mean good software architecture. For example, a good drawing of a tree may be easy to read and even beautiful, but may reflect an underlying design with no re-use or modularity. A graph of relationships between functions in an abstract machine may look very complicated, but that doesn't mean the design is poor.

Graphs are wonderful abstractions for the structures that arise in many kinds of engineering, but you need to focus on understanding those abstractions, not just pictures rendered by heuristics. Visualization can be wonderful, but has its limitations, especially when used out of the box.

Also what the article says about the WSJ:

> > Anwar Shaikh, the most left-wing economist in the world, introduced me to “The Wall Street Journal”. I met him in his office as he was writing the monumental “Capitalism: Competition, Conflict, Crises”. He told that he reads the WSJ because it tells the truth about what is happening in the economy. It struck me then by the seeming oddity of the most left-wing economist in the world praising the most right-wing daily in the world. But Anwar was right. An economics daily has, in the part that deals with the real life, to be as objective as possible because if it spreads fairy tales people who believe them will lose money. Then no capitalist will buy it. For they do not like to lose money. In the trade-off between the fairy tales and cash, they chose the latter. Other dailies that appeal to the “pensée unique” do not need to worry about that kind of elemental truth. They can make things up.

It is interesting to see how CPAP is used and covered by insurance in different countries. In my country, South Korea, CPAP is available for rent if you have certain medical conditions, and the rental price is fixed. I pay 15 USD (20K KRW), and the Korea NHS pays 60 USD (80K KRW) per month. I've been using Löwenstein's CPAP, and it works great without any problems.

This literal proposal is impractical for virtually anyone as it requires living in a particular place all the time, but as others have pointed out, some simulation of this technique is extremely common. Sleeping in an artificial low pressure room or hyperbaric chamber is most common, but even the high-altitude camps are not just limited to truly elite athletes. We did this even in high school. My cross-country team was pretty good (we won two California state championships in four years) but still just high schoolers. The school was in Los Angeles but we spent two weeks at the end of every summer before fall semester started camping in the San Bernardino mountains doing two-a-days, usually doing a complete lap around Big Bear lake in the morning and then a shorter, faster run in the afternoon. But it's funny you mention it because I remember the guy who won the individual state championship my freshman year and took second overall in an open 5k I vaguely remember running right before the season started was a student at Rim of the World high school, which is located in Lake Arrowhead and he actually did live at high altitude.
Because running a business is stressful and requires a certain amount of mental synchronicity/complementarity on mercilessly hard choices.

Someone you discover you can do this with, you can of course handle easy low stress times with.

A friend-first person on the other hand is usually someone you make non-economical choices with, for the sake of pure enjoyment. It doesn't translate well to the rigor of making money, and they may very well have different, incompatible ideas about how to do that.
Memoji do not look as cheap. They don’t look great, but not nearly as cheap.
You can see the polygons on meta’s models. They look like characters in PlayStation 2 era games.

Personal feedback: You have a tendency to make obvious, unsubstantiated, often slightly incorrect statements with a very high level of confidence and assuming you're talking to an idiot. I'm not learning anything from you. Let's both move on. This is my last post in this thread.

If you do want to learn something yourself, I'd suggest, as a homework exercise, taking the time to architect this out, and running some numbers on things like:

- How often local devices fail (HDD AFR)

- How often remote devices fail

- Overhead of monitoring / catching each type of failure

- Time for synchronization

If you can, include algorithms along the lines of those in RAID5. I would also back-of-the-envelope cost estimates.

The goal of backups is to decrease odds of data loss to some manageable, quantifiable risk (e.g. from ≈1% AFR to e.g. ≈0.01% AFR), and what tolerable levels of risk are is an ROI and expected value calculation: odds of failure * cost of failure should be less than the cost of the backup system.

It's a good homework exercise, and purely for your benefit. E.g. that's the sort of question I might ask on an interview, and answers like yours would not lead to a hire decision. The people I least enjoy work with operate from best practices (often using strong language like "iron laws"), and can't operate from first principles.

In this case, this is all quantifiable.

You don't need to post your response. There's a reason I asked someone who might now, and you cutting in was a pure distraction. I'm done here.
Before the modern age, most humans worked in agriculture. Really, really hard work, day in day out, no vacations, no sick days, you had to be there no matter the weather (except extreme events where your live would be endangered too much, probably). It's amazing how today we can actually even think that "work should be a meaningful part of life" rather than just a means to keep you alive. Today, I would say most people still do either menial jobs or "pointless" jobs that they have very little emotional attachment to. They do it because they must do something to survive. But there's also the higher ups who don't really love at all what they're doing, but feel like they need to keep "going up", from engineer to "lead" to C-level to CEO to founder etc. I don't think anyone really loves doing those things (except extremely narcissists who feel pleasure being in charge), they do it because they know that they have the potential to do it and they feel social pressure to climb the ladder. If we lived in a completely equal society where CEOs were not seen as "higher" than individual contributors, and consequently didn't receive ridiculously larger paychecks, who in their right mind would choose to do that? Even though I do enjoy my job, I am pretty sure that's in large part because I managed, like most other well functioning adults, to rationalize my situation so that I don't feel like working day in day out on my desk it not a stupidly pointless way to spend life - and pretend like I wouldn't much rather be surfing in the Pacific islands, working as a bartender at night, sharing stories by a fire on the beach until sunrise, living the simple life without responsibilities.
Good stuff, if slightly self-contradictory in places. The header file named after the source should be included first (to catch errors in the header) and the header file defining various macros should be included first (as otherwise it doesn't work).

The detect-missing-includes-in-header is better handled by a separate compilation job which compiles the header by itself as it if was C++, `clang -xc foo.h`, solely for the purpose of catching that error. Then the include your own header first rule no longer matters.

Forward declarations have a cost which the article misses. When the thing in question changes, your compiler no longer warns you when the forward declaration is out of sync with the real thing, and the linker diagnostics are usually less comprehensible. Also it's a nuisance to update all the forward declarations. An <iosfwd> style header, included at the top of the <ios> header, gives ~99% of the compile time advantage of forward declarations with none of the failure modes and usually less typing in the caller.

>Exactly. Almost all cash transactions remain anonymous because there's no criminal investigation involved.

It's disingenuous to even suggest that the traceability of cash transaction is even remotely close to that of credit cards and e-payments, and that what keeps them anonymous is that "there's no criminal investigation involved".

It's the exact opposite: cash transaction are anonymity friendly by nature, and only when there's a great need, and with quite an effort, like in a criminal investigation, are they attempted to be traced, and even there it's more difficult exacty because of the nature of cash making it more difficult.
In modern C++ there will be modules (C++20). Even std will be available as a module (C++23). This will likely bring down compile times massively. But so far the only compiler with support for this today is MSVC.

> Better to learn a tiny corner of nix (which you may later apply to the rest of it, or not) than to learn a language with a narrower use case.

"Better" in what way?

Like, maybe I agree in some sort of philosophical sense, of how it's better to learn and expand one's awareness of what exists and is possible in the world. That is, better for students, similarly to how I'd say it is better for students to learn lisp and haskell, because they'll figure out how to use javascript and python and C# or whatever as needed on the job. And I'm a believer in life-long learning, that everyone should do their damndest to carve out time to be a student at all times throughout life. So certainly I'm in favor of learning about Nix and its config structure and comparing and contrasting it to other things like this Pkl.

But I don't think the idea of using Nix's config management instead of a narrowly-targeted config management tool would be "better" in the sense of a professional figuring out how to set up or refactor the config structure within the non-Nix paradigm of the vast majority of organizations. And that's what I've been talking about here.

I'm actually a Nix kool-aid drinker, believe it or not, and I hope its paradigm will sweep the world, but I also have to do what's right by the organizations I work within at each moment in time, and being at the vanguard of the Nix paradigm has not been that, in my view, yet.
