> So what happens if ssh (IIRC correctly in typical configurations it depends on network to start) fails to start at boot?

I do this for my main desktop. If the worse of the worse happen, I've got backup of everything (we all do right?) and I re-install the system.

What I mean is: what do you do when you SSD is dead? You can't even login at failsafe console either.

In 30 years of using Linux I've have hard disk die on me way more than I had my sshd daemon not starting. The ratio is even a divide-by-zero error.

Arguably if my OS had its sshd daemon randomly not starting, it'd be an indication to me that it's time to move to a more stable OS.

They made the Mac a compatibility nightmare with games, so it doesn't matter so much how fast the hardware is. And going from a 2009 Mac Pro with an RX580 to an M1 mini, every game was slower, especially csgo (before it became cs2).
I would agree with this. The actual tech isn't all that difficult, you just need a very large and flexible database with a functional front-end, detailed process automation and business rules, hardened security, and high reliability. All very well-worn and established elements that can be found pretty readily even in the open source software space. It's the aforementioned integrations, as well as the overall implementation, that will be seriously difficult, especially with all of the unique requirements, extensive compliance, and regulatory pressures that make the kind of software development oversights that might be embarrassing in less complex projects potentially criminal here, or at the very least very damaging and expensive for the developers, their customers, and possibly even their customers' patients.

So the development of any given ePHI system is very high-risk, exceedingly tedious, difficult and time-consuming (aka, expensive), and from my own experience as an I.T. consultant, the potential customer base is going to be full of healthcare orgs who are likely already entrenched within an existing solution, one that has likely been integrated with several other operational services, and one that the lead will almost certainly be very reticent to switch from, considering the huge workload, expense, and disruption to routines that such a migration necessarily involves. That means it could take a very long time to pull in new customers, so you'll need deep cash reserves to maintain development and operational budgets while the initial sales, onboarding, and subsequent support takes place.

I have gone through such a migration process for a very small healthcare provider, and even in a small clinic with a single doctor, it was extremely involved. I am a fierce proponent of open source software and a DIY ethos, but at least in this specific genre of software, I think the larger established players are ultimately the only ones adequately prepared to pull it off properly.

> I'd love to hear from someone with expertise in vendor onboarding and business continuity risk: how do vendor contracts typically protect customers in situations like this?

The short answer: they generally don't, unless you negotiate for it. I run a company and dealing with this kind of situation (or better still anticipating it) is part of my job.

The Rockset situation generally falls under "termination for convenience" where a party of the contract terminates for reasons other than cause, e.g., bankruptcy or the other party violating contract terms. Taking the Rockset TOS as an instructive example, it covers customer's termination for convenience in Section 15.2. [0] However, there's nothing about Rockset terminating for convenience.

Normally this ambiguity could cause legal problems for the vendor, but Rockset added a 'get out of jail free card' in Section 2. They can just change the ToS.

> 2. Changes to Agreement or Services. Rockset may update this Agreement at any time, in its sole discretion. If Rockset does so, it will let Customer know either by posting the updated Agreement on the Site or through other communications. If Customer continues to use the Services after Rockset has posted updated Agreement, Customer agrees to be bound by the updated Agreement. Because the Services are evolving over time, Rockset may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at its sole discretion.

I am not a lawyer but (a) this is an awful contract for customers and (b) all is not lost. Your best recourse is to check with a lawyer to see if what footholds you can use (probably few), then make a public stink about destroying your data. I sincerely doubt the new owners will want to deal with that and will extend support.

The next time around, get a lawyer to help and negotiate terms. Pro tip: Smaller vendors are often more flexible, but all of them negotiate if they want the deal badly enough.

Ruby is unsuitable for large projects for the same reason python is, but it also lacks the huge ecosystem and labor pool that python has. When I'm interviewing and a company tells me ruby is the main language, I end the call.
>Every healthcare provider organization likes to believe that they're a special snowflake with unique requirements

Very, very true in my experience. But it isn't as crazy as it sounds on the surface. Very little of what hospitals do is truly evidence based. So we can say, well Duke does this or Cleveland Clinic does that, but maybe your hospital doesn't have the resources of a top 10 hospital and you can't make their protocols work. Or your patient population is different.

For me, the root problem goes back to difficulty in automating data analysis that truly "understands" outcomes. Even with full EMR data good luck assessing the outcome of a given therapy in a scientific, controlled way.

The woman in the article describes that she has no problem identifying faces she has seen before, in fact, she is better at that than average. It is just that she doesn't see these faces as a picture in her head.

So clearly, there is some encoding process going on here, and the comparison is done on the basis of this encoding. This can be much more efficient than comparing the actual thing. Think of it has taking the hash of a picture, and performing comparisons using the hash, not the picture itself.

I'm a little surprised anyone would list a disability related achievement on their resume. Seems like the fast track to rejection in my experience.
I came here to share this. My first 3 years of management I struggled with the reward system and lack of code submission highs. You can find sources of growth in soft skills it's just harder to find.

Management is a fundamentally different career from SW development. So are the reward functions. It takes years to master management and years to appreciate that you are in fact mastering it. This is, IMO, why it's so important to have a good coach during this transition, to help encourage growth and development and point out where you're improving. This in turns help you know you're improving and definitely gets you that endorphin rush.
Pex was also the solution I landed on after evaluating several non-container options for distributing a Python project to arbitrary Linux hosts.

It works well but with one huge caveat: although you bring the stuff required to reconstitute the venv with you, you’re actually still using the system’s python executable and stdlib!! So for example if you want to make a project targeting all supported Ubuntu LTS versions, you have to include the wheels for every possible python version you might hit.

Ultimately this boils down to there not really being a story for statically compiled python, so in most normal cases you end up wanting a chroot and at that point you’re in a container anyway.

My impression is that projection TVs reflect/diffuse even more of ambient light than regular CRTs, making black areas of the image look gray (regular CRTs already reflect more light than LCD-like monitors, though CRTs could be tinted to improve contrast at the cost of brightness).

Agreed. I like to compile most translation units with -O3 and then only compile the translation units that I want to debug with -O0. That way I can often end up with a binary that's reasonably fast but still debuggable for the parts that I care about.
Both my wife and one of my co-workers experience hi-res images superimposed over their actual vision when prompted (and occasionally involuntarily). This opposite end of the spectrum is hyperphantasia[0]. There are accounts in this thread of people having trouble reading books because they're too caught up in the visuals the story creates in their head (something that same co-worker has also mentioned happening).

I just responded to you elsewhere assuming that you're operating from a baseline experience of depending on visualization, but this comment has made me think you might actually also lack it, and that your assertion that aphantasia must be debilitating is from an assumption that the lack we're describing is something beyond your experience. Since it's all a matter of your internal experience, though, it's impossible for me to know.

True. I think other humans are better able to point out those cases, because they share context - they have, for instance, witnessed other humans following those detrimental traditions - and know, or collectively create, methods to push back against them. We have legal regimes and cultural mechanisms adapted (not perfectly, I'll grant!) to overcoming harmful equilibria. Humans, as a species, and over many many thousands of years, have learned (not infallibly, for sure!) to deal with human foibles and lapses of judgment.

We have no similar intuitions for dealing with AI "reasoning", and attendant biases. To the extent that AIs are intelligent, they are alien to us. We have no (or very few) valid instincts about them, and they are impervious to our empathy. In fact, empathy - the engine that drives human-to-human cultural progress - is an active detriment in dealing with AI. As a species, we are maladapted to an AI future.

My assumption is that IDTV is deinterlacing a 480i signal to 480p, which is shown on a CRT running at 31khz (though I don't know what algorithms it would use to deinterlace).
This is a great example of how point data has been used to reinforce that negative sentiment, and how we need to readdress that sentiment given that over the past decade to 15 years the benefit has swung strongly in favour of renewables as a way to bolster the grid and improve energy security. The rejections ignored the incoming economy of scale and ramping of manufacturing, instead focusing on an immediate cost comparisson instead of a reformed market and lifetime project benefit cost scale. When you plan out the lifetime finances for a fossil fuel project, you use the latter. The arguments were perverted to ignore benefits in order to ensure current fossil fuel projects were able to remain generating a profit for as long as possible, minimising their debt and heading towards profitability. As stated, I've been behind that curtain first hand, and my engineering background is in planning out the lifetime of a resource and how to best exploit it.

But let's look at some numbers
Australia, 2023:, renewable 1/4 the cost of nuclear: https://www.minister.industry.gov.au/ministers/husic/media-r...

IRENA, 2022: "For the last 13 to 15 years, renewable power generation costs from solar and wind power have been falling. Between 2010 and 2022, solar and wind power became cost-competitive with fossil fuels even without financial support. The global weighted average cost of electricity from solar PV fell by 89 per cent to USD 0.049/kWh, almost one-third less than the cheapest fossil fuel globally. For onshore wind the fall was 69 per cent to USD 0.033/kWh in 2022, slightly less than half that of the cheapest fossil fuel-fired option in 2022."

Germany, suffered from early mover issues in ~2015 combined with poor winter planning, however is now reaping the benefits of cheaper generation cost to offset gas supply shortages for baseload due to European supply restrictions, 2021: https://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/en/press-media/press-releases/...

Even the UK prime minister Boris Johnson, a conservative pundit, went on record as stating that renewables were the quickest, cheapest, and easiest way to shore up the energy grid and remove dependence upon Russian oil and gas. This is a nice nod to the fact that the UK has been bulk importing Scottish renewable energy to ward against the massive price increases caused in Europe by the gas supply restriction: http://scotsman.com/news/environment/sustainable-scotland-wi...

Failing any rational risk taking due to the above illustrations, it's also critical that we reduce our greenhouse emissions. Another topic that is hotly debated when it really is straight forward. Even if renewables were to cost more, the educated policy makers would still steer toward either making them cheaper or installing them if the difference was marginal simply to ensure long term stability, maximising distributed generation and attempting to minimise the effects of a changing climate.
If you charge overnight, newer Androids (12+?) will charge to 80% then trickle-charge to 100% over a few hours before your next alarm. This purportedly gets most of the benefit of lower charge thresholds, presumably because charging that last 20% quickly accelerates wear.
I'm (apparently) aphantasic, having learned about the concept on a couple of months ago. However unscientific the [VVIQ](https://aphantasia.com/study/vviq/) is, I couldn't answer a single question with anything other than "No image at all."

What I find interesting is that for the past few years I've also been getting regular IV ketamine infusions to treat major depression. The imagery I visualize during these infusions is hyperreal and unlike anything I've ever experienced. I see these full-motion, hyper-detailed, 3D environments that absolutely blow my mind. I also seem to have fairly vivid dreams but when I'm conscious, I can't visualize anything to save my life.

Basic OPML is pretty well-supported, but text/uri-list is a better format for the most common use of OPML (a collection of RSS/Atom feeds). It's a little funny seeing projects pull in full-blown XML parsers just to not really handle anything besides URL/name pairs. (E.g [1].)

If you have a project where the ability to import/export OPML is on the roadmap but you haven't added it yet, consider taking a few minutes to implement text/uri-list first.

Huh, when reading the parent comment I didn't think it applied to me because I felt like I remember stuff that happened in enough detail to walk through the sequences of events that happened, but reading this makes me think that maybe I don't actually have it because it's nothing I'd describe as being able to "watch" it as much as just recall the details. I could potentially imagine a visualization of the vents I remember, but I certainly don't remember what enough of the details actually look like to replay the real thing.

Probably in part because modular construction isn't uncommon with those 5-over-1s, it's not some hack specific to this law; surprisingly enough, most projects can't get away with paying below the local prevailing wage whether or not there is a specific law requiring it, so if modular construction enables a net cost reduction where there is a prevailing cost regulation, it's going to be a net cost reduction for most similar construction without the regulation, too.

To simulate “types” in complex shell scripting I typically involve a lot of json objects acting as my data structures and the file system for a rudimentary database. They’re horrifying ugly, but they tend to work pretty reliably.

This is probably easier.
The MAC key is just a random byte string though, not inherently tied to either Bob or the particular message Alice signed with it!

In particular, Bob can forge any message and authenticate it using the same MAC key, so no third party will accept an authentication tag as proof that Alice was the author of some message. It's not just a matter of reuse.

The only thing Bob could potentially prove to the world about it is that he was somehow the first to obtain this particular Alice-signed MAC (e.g. by immediately publicly timestamping it upon receiving it), which could indeed serve as (weak) evidence that Alice attempted to communicate with him at least once.
I love rebasing, and use it most of the time. At work we also enforce squash-merging, which is the only scalable way to prevent low quality commits from polluting the main branch history.

While rebasing works most of the time, the problem arises when actually collaborating on feature branches - especially when your collaborator is not confident enough with git to realize when a rebase conflict might lose data. Merging works better in these situations. So while standardizing on rebasing is great for productivity across the org, you also have to watch out for this and make sure developers don't lose the ability to collaborate on branches.
I'm musing about the phrase:

Interface Upgrades in Go (2014)
I work with a lot of smaller healthcare offices, and there are plenty of field-specific solutions like MedicFusion, ChiroTouch, et al.. Despite the relative small sizes and simpler needs for these offices, you'll still find unique complexities, business logic, and bespoke integrations.

The process of migrating from one solution to another is so involved and time-consuming that I wouldn't expect it to happen more than once in a decade, and only then if the current solution is somehow critically deficient, or their practice is changing in a way that demands expanded options.

The only potential advantage I can think of is the relatively higher frequency of new practices being opened, which creates a wider target audience of potential customers, and that's probably why there's more field-specific solutions, rather than general ePHI that supports multiple fields of practice.
