>scale does not matter

The actual data seems to indicate the exact opposite. Countries with large populations aren't able to provide inexpensive healthcare, while countries with smaller populations achieve better outcomes at a lower cost

edit: I've read some of your other comments on this post and I really enjoy the deep level of understanding you're bringing on the actual article's topic. I just think you're wrong about the specific scale thing that I'm talking about

One of my friends works at a technology-adjacent (i.e., technology enabled, but not technology-focused) company that was recently acquired by a Korean chaebol.

They put in place a Korean-American country manager who was aghast at how much vacation time and public holidays Europeans have. The rift between the US and Europe is already sizable, but we’re talking major culture shock here.

Anecdotally, he was also a bit amazed when people started leaving the office before nightfall.
> I'm not really sure what stability you're talking about in hunter gatherer societies

While the absolute conditions of hunter gatherers were abysmal compared to modern western standards, they didn't suffer relative decline in the living conditions due to pregnancy and child rearing. Their tribe took care of their house, food, security and child rearing. In other words, they had a community.

Today with the nuclear family mindset, if you don't have parental benefits, you will be hard pressed to figure out your rent, food or insurance and you will see a relative decline in your lifestyle. Humans have big aversion to relative declines even if their absolute lifestyle would still be better than their hunter gatherer ancestors.
Another part of considering your audience that I often see overlooked, is understanding how your role and your work fit into a larger picture of the organization's goals. The goal of software engineering isn't ultimately to produce software, it is to accomplish some other real-world task. One of the biggest mistakes I see senior software engineers make, is trying to solve every problem by writing software. A wise software engineer knows when they shouldn't be writing software, but instead solving problems by addressing human processes or engaging with other disciplines.
> If you think it isn't lies, then you accept he's not very intelligent or at least illogical.

Or delusional.

I think he's a smart guy. I don't think he's remotely as smart as he thinks he is, but smart nonetheless. So calling him a willful liar is, in my view, giving him the benefit of the doubt because the other explanations are even worse.
> don't see anything in that link about "fully paid" so the number of people with employer-provided health insurance fully paid by the employer is probably much lower

You’re right. Tough to find statistics, in part because “fully paid” is ambiguous. (Saw this [1].)

The figure I should have referred to is 72% of Americans being happy with their own healthcare [2]. You’re not going to get single payer without convincing them they’re trading up.

Actually we do have evidence it is a prevalent problem. A few data points ok, but we have repeated data points (at foundational pivot points) supporting it. (example: NIST infiltration and manipulation of encryption standards. Vault 7. etc).

Show HN: See Network Flow Costs by Ingesting VPC Flow Logs and Cur
Hi HN,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN7RNVo9nc4

(The text below is based upon the linked video above)

I'm Co-Founder & CEO of Vantage: a cloud cost observability platform. Our team put together a quick video showing a new feature we launched that I think this community may be interested in: Network Flow Reports. This gives you the ability to see flows normalized by cost instead of usage for AWS resources.

Knowing that AWS has different rates depending on the source and destination of network traffic, we did the work of ingesting VPC Flow Logs and cross-referencing with the corresponding CUR line-items to be able to show you Network Cost Flows.

I'd love to solicit feedback and see what people think on this!
> many of them people think won’t happen, and then they do

Apple didn't manage to convince the rest of the industry that it's the better connector, so USB-C came out ahead. That was not the mandate. The mandate just told them to collaborate and standardize around one connector.
Well that explains why he felt nobody appreciated his efforts. The first few weeks at a job like that you are pretty much just in the way. It takes some time to learn the routines and operate the equipment so you can work quickly without thinking.

> CrowdStrike said Sunday that its liability is contractually capped at an amount in the “single-digit millions.”

Well, that's nice. If I understand correctly, though, you can't contractually limit liability for gross negligence. I mean, you can say it in the contract, but it isn't legally enforceable.

It does raise the bar, though - gross negligence is harder to prove than ordinary negligence.

Note well: IANAL. I could be wrong.
> The desktop market is both saturated and contracting,

Which applies equally to Apple devices, if you're watching the sales. They followed the same trend of moving units during COVID and then relaxed upgrades afterwards.

> if you're NOT making ARM processors then your fab is not making as much money as the competition

Do you know how ARM works? Or even chip production, for that matter?

For one, foundries don't choose to make ARM chips, their customers do. A foundry can and will make the same amount of money as their competition investing away from ARM, as Nvidia has shown on TSMC 4nm. Making "as much money as the competition" only works if you don't have to pay ARM license fees, and Apple is just about the only company in the world with that level of agreement with Softbank. Everyone else is avoiding ARM like the plague for it's dogshit licensing terms and 2-year OEM support contracts. The actual "deal" you get from buying ARM is the choice between their godawful off-the-shelf cores or the ISA itself. There are vanishingly few companies that want either of those things, least of all with ARM Ltd as the middleman.

For two, ARM's "golden era" is behind us now. If you've worked in electronics you're probably well familiar with the story of the ESP-32, a wildly successful microcontroller that hasn't been "officially licensed" ARM in years. The rare few ARM chips that are profitable don't respect the ISA license they're supposed to pay for, leaving only Apple and Nvidia as legitimate customers. Of them, Nvidia has been shipping RISC-V in place of ARM for over a decade and Apple would too if they had to pay for the IP. ARM is desperate to find customers that don't want to take advantage of them, but cannot find a single one.

This has given me some wonderful ideas for my next attempts at hot sauce.

My last efforts at growing my own chilli’s were going extremely well until I went away for a month, forgot to leave instructions for their care, and they died off beyond recovery.
I am not sure about this. Government healthcare has longer wait times, less flexibility, less quality due to reduced talent levels, and less incentive for innovation. I absolutely hate dealing with the government healthcare workers who think they’re above patients - some aren’t just rude but abusive, which I have direct knowledge of (at least in parts of Europe and Asia).

I do think the US healthcare system is expensive and sometimes fraudulent (overcharging for supplies, extra billing codes, etc). But we can fix these things with tweaks like forcing transparent pricing for healthy competition, creating transparency and consequences for billing or Medicare fraud, and other such ideas. I don’t think it requires as big a change as a single payer system.
DuckDuckGo should be banned globally for all I care.

Again, every other developed nation has roughly the same outcomes as the US, but at a much lower cost per person. And a substantial portion of our population has no access to health care, which is not true in those other countries.

I feel pretty confident that Haskell is generally unpopular and so would be poorly represented in any of the statistics you asked about, but you can take a look at the SPJ talk in my other comment if you want some seven-year-old numbers--I suspect its status hasn't changed substantially since that talk though.

Regardless, this has nothing to do with what I wrote in the comment you were responding to, so I'm not sure what your point is in raising these questions.
The key is "Enjoy". There is no substitute to meet people, smiling, happy, no politics, no desire to grow or get a raise. Plus fixed hours and you are not responding to slack/emails/oncalls after that. This is not stress, this is fun as long as you do not have to pay large bills.

Sure, but how much can/should the state do about people in the same household hypothetically stealing each other's ballots? The registration process requires ID, so I'm not convinced additional authentication is needed.
Yes, but minimal.

The heat is coming out one way or another. It already traveled 6500 km to the surface unaided, we're just helping it up the last 1 km or so. Frankly, I'd be interested if the core would notice an effect from the removal of the Earth's crust in it's entirety. My money is on "no for any human-relavant-timescale."

For reference, the interior of the Earth works out to about 50 TW of heat. Today, humans consume about 20 TW. The Sun delivers 173000 TW.

It will cool it down. Do it for long enough and the core will solidify with all sorts of dreadful effects.

We also have an unhealthier society because we have different jobs, standards of living sedentary lifestyles, etc. For example we have more obesity.

From what I understand, both of those systems define utility/consequence in terms of the entirety of society instead of only the individual doing the action or his tribe, so I’d say very few people act according to them.

> Here's an example of Bevy WebGL vs Bevy WebGPU

I think a better comparison would be more representative of a real game scene, because modern graphics APIs is meant to optimize typical rendering loops and might even add more overhead to trivial test cases like bunnymark.

That said though, they're already comparable which seems great considering how little performance optimization WebGPU has received relative to WebGL (at the browser level). There are also some performance optimizations at the wasm binding level that might be noticeable for trivial benchmarks that haven't made it into Bevy yet, e.g., https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen/issues/3468 (this applies much more to WebGPU than WebGL).

> They're 10k triangles and they're not overlapping... There are no textures per se. No passes except the main one, with a 1080p render texture. No microtriangles. And I bet the shader is less than 0.25 ALU.

I don't know your exact test case so I can't say for sure, but if there are writes happening per draw call or something then you might have problems like this. Either way your graphics driver should be receiving roughly the same commands as you would when you use Vulkan or DX12 natively or WebGL, so there might be something else going on if the performance is a lot worse than you'd expect.

There is some extra API call (draw, upload, pipeline switch, etc.) overhead because your browser execute graphics commands in a separate rendering process, so this might have a noticeable performance effect for large draw call counts. Batching would help a lot with that whether you're using WebGL or WebGPU.

My partner and I were normally polite when picking up ice cream from a local dairy a few weeks back. "No rush, take your time." Nothing overly fancy from a manners or politeness perspective. Was offered free ice cream for "being the nicest folks we've had in a long time." Didn't take the free ice cream of course, but thanked the folks working.

I suspect overall impoliteness has seen a bit of an uptick, from my casual observation of the sociomacro (especially during airport and air transportation transit and use), and that gratitude is not expressed in casual interactions as perhaps it previously was.

I think the most important thing is the time between the tomato turns red and when you consume it. On a similar note, I find myself picking them when they are red or orange red, and waiting for them to turn red. I wonder if commercial farms pick them red and can them instantly, which is why canned tomato sauce tastes better than my tomato sauce.
I think they should. With the exception of teams which have communications problems, stand ups have never been a good use of time. A well-functioning team is already well aware of what everyone else on the team is working on and roughly how they're doing; and if I have a blocker, I'm not waiting until the next stand up to seek help in removing it.
One should write non-functional code so that it's understandable in small blocks. On the other hand, I've seen some undecidable functional code also in small quantities. Mapping arrays of tuples containing functions from strings to integers with no apparent connection to business logic.

I think it is kind of misconception by connecting introvertness vs. extrovertness to preference for remote communication vs IRL communication.

My friend is very extrovert, spends plenty of time socializing IRL and chatting online or writing e-mails. But for work communication, he definitely prefers WFH with online chat.
