Too few doctors thing is problem with different bottlenecks... Mainly being that the US Residency program is funded by the gov't, and is competitive to get into. Many of the lesser schools and especially DO or carribean schools have graduates who are not able to get into residency on first try because there are not enough slots.
You might enjoy reading Transmetropolitan - it's a comic where one of the aspects of the future it is set in is that people who are revived are pretty much unwanted nuisances that usually end up with severe mental problems. They do get nice new bodies, though.
who gets to copyright claim the various array sorting algorithms then?
While I appreciate examining system calls, I feel like I must be missing something in TFA, because you can just seed your own instance of random.Random [0].

Trivial (and terrible) example – on every run past the first, the lists are identical:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import pickle
import random

SEED = 42

if __name__ == "__main__":
r = random.Random(SEED)
rand_l = None
new_rand_l = []
try:
with open("rand_list.dat", "rb") as f:
rand_l = pickle.load(f)
except FileNotFoundError:
pass
for i in range(100):
new_rand_l.append(r.randint(0, 1000))
if rand_l is not None:
assert rand_l == new_rand_l
else:
with open("rand_list.dat", "wb") as f:
pickle.dump(new_rand_l, f)

Does it bother anyone else that the picture featuring the author shows a blackboard containing seemingly unrelated equations just to make it look "this-is-high-brow-complex-mathy-stuff-that-I-am-an-expert-in"?

Why would someone who wants to be taken seriously as a scientist pose in front of something like that?
You can still brake - you just need (automatic) agreement of all trains behind you to do so.

You aren't allowed to brake 'as much as possible' anymore - instead the best you can achieve is 'the best the worst of the trains behind me can achieve'.
I don’t think it’s unreasonable that the people who develop some software and run a business doing so, wish to not have their livelihoods cannibalised out from under them by some larger entity.

I think the sunshine and rainbows idealism of some of the licences and OSS gatekeeping was fine 20 years ago, and works fine for certain kinds of software and mature, well-established projects (compilers, Postgres, MySQL etc) but these days, no longer fits the reality of the software landscape.
Who isn't in "engineering, product, and customer facing roles such as sales, customer success, and marketing"?

> While you plan a sprint, you loosely plan an increment and using the estimates and velocity, project where you will land.

That sentence contains four verbs: plan, plan, estimate, and project. If your sprint were a single week, planning two things, estimating all the things, and "projecting" the sum of all the foregoing adds up to... Quite a lot.

You'll spend a large portion of your time doing these... fundamentally non-agile things.

Scrum is basically Waterfall, packaged as a lot of mini-waterfalls and sold as "non-Waterfall".

You can't run a marathon as an endless bunch of sprints; a marathon is fundamentally different from a sprint.
I've been very pleased with Plausible as a Google Analytics alternative. I don't really care about the privacy and open source stuff, but the integration is simple and if you just want to know "how many people are looking at my site, where are they coming from, etc" it's fantastic. GA4 is really too complex for most people.

There is good reason they don't do that: trains derail once in a while, your plan means the following train will hit that train and so the accident is worse.

Part of the answer to that is better track maintenance. However that isn't a perfect answer and so we need larger gaps.

Note that cars on the freeway are normally much closer together than is safe as well. If cars maintained a safe following distance we would need 5 times as many lanes. (you know the massive freeways in Huston that urbanists like to show as bad: that is about the correct size of freeway for Des Moines, Huston needs many more if they want to be a car oriented city)
You are almost describing the MAME CHD format. As they have the problem that the object (hard drive, cd, dvd, etc) must be in one file. Have the ability to do differences (writable in some cases). But also compressed (compressed hunks of data). They also need that sub track data too as some systems do interesting things with that sub data. As some even hide their encryption format in the SBI fields. The CHD format is more like a container that acts like whatever media it was. Depending on what system they hook it up to. The downside is there is no concept of 'metadata' to find different things in CHD. It is up to the system it is hooked up to to interpret what that data stream is.
I have read it, maybe you just didn't understand what I said.
This kind of interview questions come from the mind of software developers, because that's the only thing they know how to do. When faced with some new area of knowledge, their instinct is to try to implement that in Python or some other language and imagine they have "learned" it. It doesn't occur to them that implementing things is not that helpful when it comes to most math topics.
It's in sugar free red bull unfortunately.
From my experience, people here like permissive licenses because they can grab the source and don't think about it further (and don't forget to give credit if their coffee was good that day), because it's building on top of other people's work without any effort.

I don't think it's bad intentions though. Just grab the pieces you need, assemble, add the missing parts and start a project, and earn money.

xGPL (which I strongly support) prevents this building model by forcing license inheritance, release of changes and limiting license interoperability, preventing creation of technical secret sauces, and many people think that all secret sauces are technical.

OTOH, the harder (but better in the long run) way to create value with FOSS and Free Software particular to have stellar support and reliability. i.e.: Your code can be deployed, compiled, or built upon, but you're the best source to get the software in the first place. Your presence, human relations and knowledge about the product is the secret sauce you have, but this needs more effort, is a more of a soft skill and grows like a sequoia (i.e. roots first for a decade, then start to get taller).

This is not a quick buck, but an old school proper business building, but many people don't have time for that, and since everyone wants to build fast and consume fast, this more healthier mode of making business is frowned upon.

Sometimes you need to move slow and break(through) things, but as the meme says "ain't nobody have time for dat!", which is shortsightedness in my perspective.
Yeah, Slacking one-self is reassuring because you Lonnie it won’t be lost or forgotten.
A fast, perfomant code editor
Hey what do you think about the code editor I created

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lzEDh7Y17rY

Why did I create this?
I wanted an opensource, faster alternative to vscode, with better control over the whole editor, better ui without the sidebar, more out of a box features, with a view to make everything as simplified and performant as possible.
Here you can see it and download it - https://okraleditor.glitch.me. Any ideas how could I improve it and general opinions?
Upvoting this to hear some experts opinion on Islamic Finance
Obsolete as in it can be competitive or not ...
Auto-Sktime
I agree with your premise though I think we need a different word than "open source" if that's really the model moving forward.

Without going too deep into semantics, the original nature of open source is counter to business interests. If we're using that term for source code that's kinda open for some people some of the time, we risk virtue signalling.
Nonsense. The issue here is that they're doing the wrong thing. SpaceX proved reusable rockets were the future at about the same time Arianne 6 got funding to begin development (2016). They should have cancelled the project and started again with a reusable rocket at that point. Of course they didn't because of politics, but it does mean they did a stupid thing and spent a ton of money on a rocket that was obsolete before it left the drawing board, just like SLS.

I think many non technical people have an incorrect understanding of "AI", where they conflate a single example of what neural networks can do, namely chat bots, with an entire field.

Even if chat bots have no significant advances in the foreseeable future, "AI" as in large neural networks have already proven themselves to be extremely useful and able to accomplish a lot of things which are almost impossible to do without them.

There's a lot of talk about all sorts of nonsense on Twitter. No, this isn't true.
Same. I had a beautiful home on a few acres of land with an old bog road from the 19th century near me (it's in the video I linked a lot) and cycling on that was a dream, but as soon as I tried to use the cycle lane to Tullamore it was a disaster of lorries and tractors trying to use said lane to pass each other.
No, that's what they were named after. They released an epinomous song on their first album (Herzeleid) that played with the visual imagery of that disaster ("Rammstein - a human burns / Rammstein - the smell of meat in the air / Rammstein - a child dies / Rammstein - the sun is shining"). They apparently initially wanted to name the band Rammstein Flugschau ("Rammstein flight show") before shortening it to Rammstein. The difference in spelling was accidental but Rammstein is evocative (literally "ramming stone") so it stuck.

The album the parent mentions is Reise, Reise, which is travel themed (in a broad sense of the word), the cover being styled after a black box (being bright orange of course). The flight recording in the pregap literally comes from a black box of a plane crash so that fits.

These have been around for a while and quite closely mimic (slightly older) German signalling specifications for signaller interfaces.

My company builds such systems as test and demonstration systems for real railway projects with respective functional safety constraints. If you're interested to learn more about the signalling infrastructure in Europe or Germany, feel free to ask.
I understand your point. For me, though, existing apps like Slack or iMessage were insufficient because, at the end of the day, they aren’t “note-taking apps.” By creating a dedicated note app combined with a chat-style timeline-focused UI, I feel that the speed and quality of note-taking have improved.

However, I understand that it might not be for everyone, and I appreciate your feedback!

No we don't agree.

Except that a person who is literally blind found it disrespectful.

People say all sorts of stupid stuff that they don’t intend to be disrespectful but which is. When it’s pointed out by someone the appropriate response is to change your behavior, not double down and make excuses.

Here’s another example: In my state (MN) it’s not uncommon for (largely) women to refer to themselves as hunting widows when their spouses go away for the weekend to hunt during the season. They say it as a joke but it’s disrespectful and diminishing to actual widows. How do I know? I’ve been widowed.
hmmm, yes you are correct. I thought they used to offer more for free but maybe my memory is off. Apologies.

You are also right about that the Phoenix book needs an update, they changed A LOT with the way they structure code in the last release. Which, you don't have to use btw, you can still use the older methods. The major differences are here https://elixircasts.io/upgrading-to-phoenix-1.7 which I can honestly understand the pain a new developer feels when the books are out of date.

I'd still consider going through an older book, you'll learn 90-95% of the same thing.
I know people who have been let go for this reason, yeah.
It can be both, no? But the issue here is the predictable effect that certain kinds of comments have on internet threads.

The issue that LLMs are constantly hallucinating and are not capable following long term rules. Since its still niche, its not a problem but what if professionals like Lawyers or doctors start using it day to day, then we are in trouble.

They do. And still its a job that needs to be done and the markets demand for people willing to do the work, should not be hampered by the basically hobbyist luxury choice of the individual making the education necessary for that demand a rare ressource.
I've experienced the same. It's difficult for frontend and backend to communicate because there's a "translation layer" in between. Shipping a new feature is 100x harder than it needs to be because everything has to be translated between two different paradigms.
The creation of computer science degree courses did not push down the price of software engineers.
Ask HN: What camera to use for Apple Display XDR
I absolutely love this display. I do not have one, but I dream about it. If you have one, what do you use and like as a camera for video conferences? If you are like me and enjoy considering the possibility of having it, what would be your ideal option?

Some products that I consider:
1- The iPhone. Is this enough as the only option? Have you any problems if you tried? I want your opinions
2- Opal. $300. Beautiful design and the appeal of a small project. Mix reviews. Please give your opinion if you have this
https://opalcamera.com/
3- Logitech. $200. Perhaps the best rational option. But I do not like it. The look and feel do not fit with Apple and much less with one of the most sophisticated and expensive products of the brand.

4- Any other possibility?
We had this our freshman year of high school (NYC suburb, USA).

Perhaps I'm biased from growing up in a coastal town where swimming was a very popular competitive sport and lots of people had boats, but teaching kids in middle or high school is WAY too late IMO, this stuff needs to be taught at a much younger age - like 4-5 years of age.
There’s maybe some value in branding as ‘stream of consciousness note taking’ instead of ‘replacing texting’, to which it just adds more steps for the same thing.

To replace texting can I text a phone number that feeds into this app?

Surely this is a balancing act, though. Federal regulatory agencies are such a revolving door that their expertise is a punchline and regulatory capture is now a mainstream concept.

One lens is that noon competes are bad and abusive, so this ruling is bad. And I get that, because I agree fundamentally with the premise. But another lens is that there are systemic issues at play, and allowing a federal agency to unilaterally restrict which types of contracts individuals can enter which express power to do so may have unforeseen consequences.

I guess I’d like to know what the rule is. What kinds of contracts could be restricted? Which ones would not be? Maybe Congress could pass a law stating no contract may restrict employment opportunities after the relationship is terminated, or something to that effect.
I think you really want to let engineers start attempting problems without manual onboarding. Doesn't cost you much, and gets them the dopamine hit before committing anything?

Surely taking cold things away from the waters there contributes to the warming of the area? In order for that ice to melt it has to take warm from the area surrounding it doesn't it?

Taking that ice away then is highly morally bankrupt, surely.
Yes, that's the one. Never played it, but from my understanding its effectively just the train system lifted out of Factorio with a game built around it.
The article is extremely short and by an unknown author, so there isn't much to discuss.

But I've met many people who hated onion architecture with a passion.

I have a few theories:

- Maybe a lot of programmers have ADHD, are autistic, or suffer from dyslexia, and find planning, naming, designing abstractions as excruciating activities.

- Onion architecture etc. is a long-term strategy that mainly benefits the company/project owner, but not the individual contributor. So it basically has to be forced upon programmers, who will resist it in every way possible, because they have no real incentive to use it.

- It's supposed to make writing software easier. But it really requires an IDE that's designed for abstractions, such as IntelliJ, and also requires a different way of working with the code. It's also verbose. So it's really a different paradigm, and it won't work if you use a plain text editor. You'll drown in code and a vast number of files.

- Onion architecture is not OOP, but often mixed in with enterprise OOP, and therefore bad associations that come with enterprise OOP.

Any other thoughts on why people resist it so much?

And what changes in how we work with code, would make onion architecture more practical?
Its good to still be here. Nice of you to hang around too. Somewhere is a guy, who has my name on his belt.
This is simply a variation of the no true Scotsman argument. In other words a classic fallacy. For someone to dispute the claims of <THEORY> they must be intimately familiar with <THEORY>. Were they familiar with it they would obviously not discount it. If they discount it, they must not be familiar with it.

As previously stated - you can believe anything you like, and it may even be useful to do so. For example there's solid research that religious belief has positive health outcomes. However that has no impact on the truth value of any religious or other metaphysical belief.

Again, theress a strong academic quantitate (and parallel quantitative) tradition of cross cultural psychology. Tacking such questions from a more rigorous point of view - including comparison of epistemic and ontological traditions. I'd recommend Mac McLaughin's text 'Culture and Health' as a good starting point.

This puts a LOT of faith / confidence in and requirements on hardware and communications; while it all sounds good on paper / in your head / in theory, there's going to be a ton of practical issues that someone more qualified than me will be able to list.

It's got the same energy as Musk advocating for Hyperloop and/or car tunnels by amortizing all the practical, cost, engineering, legal and safety considerations. Sure, in theory a maglev train in a vacuum tube is super fast, but in practice building the infrastructure is prohibitively expensive and there's not a big enough market for it.
that physical/mental pain in the process (much like more severe surgeries) is a thing - especially if it's something you retain any amount of consciousness with.
