This has been my impression in social science academia: a lot of ready to run methods are released as R packages.
So, it turns out many vitamins in supplements are poorly absorbed in the gut. B12 shots are a thing too.
But wouldn't patients see deficiency in blood tests and get extra supplements for those two?
Europe had two world wars in the last century, and there's a major war right now. The (private) economy has collapsed at least twice. The post-war stability was largely due to reigning in private propery rights.

From a Finnish perspective, where ownership rights are somewhat lesser, the British system's trajectory didn't seem particularly stable when I lived there 2019-2020, and looks even less so now.
With one repo you still have versions of this problem – have the flags been deployed as config to the flag system before the server build, has the server build removing usage rolled out fully by the time you remove the config. Using an RDBMS is an option, but makes scaling harder, you still need an audit trail, review processes, etc, so you eventually end up building a source control system on top of it (assuming you hit all the sharp corners and put time into solving them).

If you're feature flagging client code (i.e. somewhere you don't control rollouts, like mobile and web apps) that adds another layer of complexity.

While it's nice to have a simple system, having built one from scratch and used very mature feature flagging systems, my experience is that production systems hit almost all the edge cases quite quickly and flagging/experimentation systems are forced to evolve quite quickly to actually account for these issues.

Multi-repo or not isn't really an issue. My previous company had flag config in a separate repo, my current company has a monorepo, it doesn't really make a difference.
We have that too.
This is kinda a nonsense article, which is unusual for The Economist.

Tariffs on small goods are not generally the point, and measures like this are actually achieving the goal of tariffs-inserting friction in the supply chain, encouraging alternative opportunities without destroying domestic supply / sales segments.

Measures like this will only be economically viable until automation levels the playing field, and an automation heavy economy is exactly the goal for US local manufacturing. We aren’t interested in setting up thousands of sweatshops so we can compete with fast fashion from China. We’re not trying to become the world’s leading source of counterfeit electronic components or fake fashion goods, and tariffs aren’t meant to be sanctions.

This “one weird trick” exists because it’s irrelevant to the goal of tariffs. The article has “those devilish, tricky Chinese” vibes and misses the relevant points entirely. Disappoint.
The best codebase is the one you fully understand. I prefer codebases that are small enough to understand within a week. This is why I like Microservices. Large codebases can be overwhelming and even senior developers working a decade in the company of might not fully understand them. Instead, I prefer maintaining a few Microservices that our team fully comprehends, where the entire codebase fits into a clear mental model. We then interact with other codebases, that have active mental models in other teams, via APIs.
I don't think the 'code' side of code base can be considered in isolation.

What makes a project objectively good (from subjective experience) is a combination of code, design, documentation, and often the humans involved.
The danish layout is brain damaged indeed. My greatest daily annoyance is shift+7 to get "/", when navigating around folders in the terminal, but on the other hand I have ~30 years of built up muscle memory at this point.
One that had a sort of improvised facade/adapter pattern (it didn't really follow either) in a clearly cut multilayered and pipelined structure, with actor model bits where it made sense.

The code wasn't simple, at all. It took active training of new arrivals for them to understand it. But it was very well thought out, with very few warts given the complexity, and extremely easy to extend (that was the main requirement, given constant changes in APIs and clients).

We had an API, with multiple concurrent versions, that transformed requests into an intermediate model, on which our business logic operated, later targetted external APIs (dozens of them, some REST, some SOAP, some under NDAs, some also with multiple versions), whose responses turned again into the intermediate model, with more business logic on our end, and a final response through our API. Each transaction got its context serialized so we could effectively have what was an, again improvised, "async/await"-like syntax in what was (trigger warning) C++03 code.

The person who engineered it didn't have formal CS background.
some ISP's still do (or did, last time I was in one), at least one I worked for a few years back. Had a room full of lead acid batteries on shelves and another with a big spinning wheel to smooth out the flow.
> you don't have to shell out 500euros more just to not have a useless device in a year or two.

I have a 12yo iPad, a 8yo Macbook Air, and they're still going strong. I think after around 10 years you may not be able to update the OS anymore?? But tbh after 10 years I really want to change laptops, it's about time :)

And hopefully one can install Linux on the Mac and keep using it for other things, I think... the hardware is just very good.
> But most of the current production is still lithium based for now and it will take time for that to change.

I wager differently. I see no reason why sodium-ion batteries couldn't leapfrog lithium, just based on simplicity and economy. I suspect the learning rate will be much quicker for sodium ion.

> Most car batteries don't get drained on a daily basis. It's more like once a week or two weeks for average drivers. Same with grid batteries.

That's only because grid batteries aren't really being used to offset peakers. They are basically arbitrage for when prices are very high, as lithium batteries can hold charge for a very long time and can be dispatched almost instantly. In terms of batteries being used in place of gas and coal stations, they will need to cycle deeper, but maybe after about 6-12 hours of capacity is reached, they won't have to.

That said, the graph I provided is global capacity. Right now, batteries are still a specialty item, but for broader applicability, they'll be needed in more diverse scenario, including where there could be large gaps in renewables output. But even anywhere, an emergency capacity of days would become necessary in order to divest fully from non-renewables as both baseload and peakers (e.g., when overcast, still, and very cold/hot temperatures, or powerlines failing etc.)

> As for the IEA, take their numbers with a grain of salt. [...] Generally, you can subtract at least a few years from most of their predictions.

My projections were based on historical data, and regressing exponential curves onto them. Not super scientific, but the exponential trends are very visible for solar, wind, and storage. The linear trend for energy consumption seems to be holding now for decades, but that could also change.

> Apparently we can look forward to over production and price drops next year already.

I've already seen the prices drop ~40% from August last year to January on prismatic LiFePo4. I bought twice as many cells for just a little extra. I expect to buy again next year and double my capacity for about the same as my first purchase. We'll see.

Because you paid enough in advance to get enough RAM and storage to last you years. If you get a modern low end 8GB / 256GB SSD MacBook, it will last you a long time if you only have a very limited use (basically light browsing).
Not so Blockbuster.

So there you are feeling quite full, yet you are still feel extremely hungry and go on to gorge on pork pies, burgers and chips without considering the consequences of eating 3000 calories in a few mouthfuls of junk food.

Then you take more drugs to combat your psychological addiction to food but still keep eating like there's no tomorrow.

Its like being on a methadone program and still using heroin on the street.

Oh yes, I'm addressing my heroin addiction, I feel quite good most of the day, te withdrawal symptoms are in check, but then the intrusive voices in my head keep saying "Go on just one more hit". So you do the hit then cruise down to your local methadone dispensary and collect your methadone prescription, convinced one day you will be free of your heroin addiction.

IMHO library code is especially challenging, as cruft has a tendency to accumulate, historical behavior needs to be preserved, and APIs are set in stone once they’re built.
You try it once, and you see which colour applies to your language. It's not really a big deal. (And even that's only required to disambiguate between danish and norwegian.)

As someone who grew up having to write both on a regular basis, it was neat having both on the same layout. Now that I use Linux it doesn't matter as much since altgr lets me type æø instead of äö, but back on Windows you'd have to switch layout for that.

It's too bad they didn't at least ship nordic as a separate option.

It's not. Shelter actions are pretty rare.
All 50 states, DC, and 5 territories are all issuing Real ID-compliant IDs. It’s also required by TSA to fly from 7th May of next year.
I wonder how that compares to the amount in Marmite, which seems to be often recommended by doctors in the UK for those deficient in vitamin B (and you’re in the lucky 50% of the population that actually likes it).
From the experience I have from doctors in Portugal, they will ignore that. My brother was not even warned by the doctor that he was pre-diabetic after checking his blood results.

The province’s 12 top-billing doctors — who received payments of between $2 million and $7 million in one year — are overcharging the Ontario Health Insurance Plan, documents obtained by the Star suggest.

[stuff deleted]

Among additional “concerns” alleged in the report:

- Three specialists “inappropriately delegated” duties — for which they billed OHIP and which were supposed to perform themselves — to unqualified individuals to undertake.

- Six claimed to have worked between 356 and 364 days of the year.

- Eight recorded notably high volumes of claims and/or patients. One radiologist, who worked 332 days, billed for 100,000 patients, indicating that more than 300 scans were interpreted per day, the report stated.

- Eleven billed OHIP incorrectly.

- An obstetrician/gynecologist billed for seeing male patients.

Well done, you created a cloud of debris to hit the ISS instead of just a single fragment.
It depends on where you live and work with respect to the nearest stations, and on how many legs your trip consist of.
Ha, nice. Any interesting notes on scaling and load testing? At what point does it fall over? We all found it out empirically with One Million Checkboxes, so I'm curious how this compares.
I actually was the one telling them not to rewrite, lol.

But the original code was a mess of matlab spaghetti, they couldn't find a way to hire for that. Not to mention turning it into a web service was already a big hack of java parsing a raw dump of matlab datastructures that nobody dared to touch.

I had to read the matlab code, and it tooks hours to decypher a few lines. Plus the language doesn't have great debugging and error handling capabilities and the tooling is quite terrible.

So rewriting to python won, and for once, I must say it was a good call.
Do you think I would have posted that if what you say is true?

Comedian Emo Philips tells of walking across a bridge and seeing a man standing on the edge, ready to jump off. He ran over and said, “Stop! Don’t do it!”

“Why shouldn’t I?” he said.

“Well, there’s so much to live for.”

“Like what?”

“Well, are you religious?”

He said, “Yes.”

I said, “Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?”

“Christian.”

“Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?”

“Protestant.”

“Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?”

“Baptist.”

“Wow, me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?”

“Baptist Church of God!”

“Me too! Are you original Baptist Church of God or Reformed Baptist Church of God?”

“Reformed Baptist Church of God!”

“Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?”

His new friend replied, “Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915.”

To which Philips replied, “Die, heretic!,” and he pushed him off.

if kernel is updated the OS would have to be rebooted anyway unless live patching is configured. Rebooting after an update is probably more common & less annoying than one would think.
I bought a framework laptop (13in, intel, 13th gen) at the end of 2023 and have had nothing but problems with it. Mostly stability issues. It freezes entirely without warning after about 3-5min of use, regardless of whether I'm booting into a linux kernel or windows machine, from the ssd or the usb. very unhappy that I spent money on it. support has been unhelpful.

the idea of a DIY laptop that I could upgrade, et cetera, was something I could really get behind. but in practice it just feels like a waste of time and money. The machine does have to actually work.
You misunderstand the power of organized labor, the oligopoly of skilled labor able to maintain and adapt the legacy infrastructure and the shocking cost of bespoke manufacturing. I'm on the boards of two Manhattan buildings and see the numbers and can't even imagine what MTA goes through.

I’ve had exactly the same issues but because I couldn’t change anything without getting approval from 16.5 code owners on every PR submitted. It’s a real pain if you start modifying your coding for ‘least code owners hit’ instead of ‘best architecture’.
>Congestion pricing is cutting off the nose to spite the face. It's dumb, but it does "stop the problem"...

I live in London they brought it in and it's been ok overall. It doesn't stop congestion but reduces it a bit. For commuters it's probably a bit better as they mostly use the train/bus etc and benefit from less traffic. For workmen needing to deliver and fix things it's a bit of a pain. For me living in the center I'd probably take the plus of less traffic over the minus of getting a plumber to visit being expensive.

Re the tax grab - yeah but they have to get tax money from somewhere to pay for services and the like.
Same in the UK. For example, it's not uncommon to have food items that are certified as vegan, with a warning that they may contain traces of milk due to cross contamination - for most vegans, this is acceptable.
Yep, agreed. I'm using US Dvorak with modifications to get those äös.

This is very interesting when thinking about the known link to higher Parkinsons/Alzheimers risk for people that are exposed to fungicides / biocides. Gut bacteria synthesize plenty of vitamins for the body, so it's not far-fetched to think that killing off a fraction of your gut biome due to exposure to these substances will lead to vitamin deficiencies and neurological problems. There are studies that show transplanting gut bacteria from healthy people can alleviate some motor symptoms of Parkinsons [1]. So take good care of your gut bacteria!

These guys say it's a certain strain of gut bacteria that causes Parkinson's:

https://yle.fi/a/74-20030498

The immune system declines in old age and it migrates from the gut to the brain. Certain groups of gut bacteria like different nutrient environments, so the gut bacteria from this study might like that environment too.
Sure, but I don't think that matters as the ability to know what we are even really asking for is not as well understood for AI as for formal languages — AI can be used for subterfuge etc., but right now it's still somewhat like this old comic from 2017: https://xkcd.com/1838/

He would be the first to admit that this is true; it’s more of a ‘science of exceptions’ (like biology) that it is like physics or (classical) economics.

> if you don't actually improve the actual thing or product

The standard (and importantly, correct) answer is that the marketing/perception is the product. Marketing isn’t an extra bit of magic added at the end of a process designed to get the best out of an existing product — in many cases (and not just the obvious ones) it creates most of the value. If you’re a techie you instinctively hate this kind of thing, but that makes you no less immune to — or more aware of — its effects.

That is not true. It is the interaction of nicotine with various monoamine oxidase inhibitors that makes tobacco smoking addictive, to an extent that it could be stated that it is the MAOIs entirely causing the addictive behaviour: the exact same MAOIs are also found in coffee, after all.

Why are nicotine pouches and vapes addictive, then? The answer lies in the flavourings, which themselves have psychoactive properties, likely also through MAO inhibition.
No, it's the US gun control that is abnormally relaxed compared to the rest of the world, especially among developed nations. Not the other way around.

The reason why it's never gets fixed for the US must be that the US also has total global socioeconomic dominance and none of you guys want to rock the boat and accidentally fix that too in the process.
