As soon as you need treatment beyond standard GP/prescriptions, like checks/analyses or specialised consultation/treatment then private insurance comes very handy to get good care quickly.

Waiting times are not only for non-essential things. The only thing with no waiting time is A&E if you are in immediate danger of death.

The NHS is some "safety net" that does the bare minimum at this point, or no longer anything at all (eg. dentistry).

Interestingly, nowadays if you have a good job and private insurance in China you get better routine checks than in Europe/UK. Even Chinese hospitals are extremely thorough and quick compared to British ones (at least the main Chinese cities)
So is the EU. Most of it goes to stockholders.
You are not "simply using" an internet browser. You are using an entire (browser) OS in itself on a 4x pixel count display with antialiased text, transparency, blur, scaling, video compositing... The OS itself is using additional compositing for windows using indirect rendering - all the things that add latency. Additionally, you are using a remote application that has it's own latency when talking to the remote server and even locally executing JS is doing everything in a single thread, plus V8 JIT only works for hotspots in the code.

Shibboleth has officially supported Plugins for OIDC for some time now.

As others said, Shiboleth is still rather pupular at Universities and higher Education, OIDC will have a hard time to set foot there without the OpenID Connect Federation Draft beeing finished and then Implemented by the different Metadata Federation that exist (most National Research Networks manage one)

I'm fairly sure most of those can go out for dinner or drinks and no one would know who they were.
The US is so corrupt that I’m afraid any attempt at universal healthcare would make it even more expensive. Obamacare was basically a trillion dollar giveaway to Big Pharma and Big Healthcare. The only positive thing I can see in it for me personally is that it became possible to buy (extremely expensive) healthcare privately rather than through an employer, and you could not be denied due to pre-existing condition. Don’t get me wrong, that’s significant, but the insurance is now three times the price it was before Obamacare and the actual care is much worse. And both the cost and quality/availability seem to be trending in the wrong direction.

I guess what I wanted to say is, lucky you. Hold onto that NHS for dear life and resist any attempt to privatize it. It’s very much a one way street.
Never understood the appeal of "take as much control from user as possible" for shorts. Maybe I wouldnt actively hate it if it allowed basic playback control, but for some reason Youtube thinks thats not cool anymore.
The US is a completely different level.
> European here, Russia is not threatening anyone here, not sure who told you that nonsense.

I call bullshit. European here. Even if somehow you somehow ignore Georgia or Ukraine, and turn a blind eye to the baltic nations and pretend that Poland doesn't exist, for decades we can't go a single month without Russia throwing any veiled and not so veiled threat. Either tanks in Berlin in x days, tanks in Lisbon in x weeks, sinking Britain with nuclear tsunamis, etc etc etc.

And I'm not even touching on the terrorist and sabotage campaigns.

You need to be wilful ignorant to pretend Russia hasn't been threatening everyone left of right for decades.
>> And in the context of massive trade deficits, so what?

> I was thinking more in the context of consumer inflation. Countries tend to go back and forth in a tariff war, effectively raising taxes and lowering incomes for their citizens.

That's monomaniacal focus on short-term "prices to the exclusion of all other considerations." An artificially low subsidized price isn't a good deal, especially when its competing with your local industry.
I just don't like it as a comic handwriting font. Something about its character, or lack of character. It should feel lively and impish, but instead it feels lame and half-dead, to me. There's all these attempts at quirkiness like the 'C' with its irregular curve and little hook, but they all fall flat, they don't seem natural, they don't have rhythm. It gives me a feeling like I've been handed a weak joke and I'm expected to read it aloud.
What? User in control!? Heresy!

Sorry. Should be used to offset any short-term difficulties caused by tariffs, that occur as part of a longer term plan.

My example has nothing to do with what you personally buy, and instead with "what is Made in China" in a local market. I am referring to both reality, and perception.

If you have millions upon millions of products, and only a tiny, tiny, tiny number are of OK quality, then it's entirely fair to say "Made in China" is junk. That's how it works. Exceptions to the rule are simply that, and not relevant.

If a company makes fridges, and 1 model out of 100 are OK, the other 99 crap that breaks in 2 to 3 years, everyone would say "That company makes junk!". Referencing "But they made one good fridge once!" is not something anyone need care about, and is the exception to the rule.

Yet with Made in China, we're talking about a million junky, sub-par products, compared to 1 that may be acceptable. And even then, quality control is still an issue.

Made in China is junk, an entirely fair, reasonable, logical statement, predicated upon the reality of the situation for most people.
"Well-made piece of crap"
You need a lot of things for a gas station, a giant tank under ground, a run off collection system for the spilled gas/oil, they have to be covered these days, I’m sure most of this is just environmental regulations. You only see them in the grocery store parking lot if they have all of that, it’s not just a few pumps put up at existing parking spaces (well, maybe in Thailand).
Most of the direct human exposure seems to come from polyester, which we have raced to make the dominant clothing and bedding fabric.
You see it as a rationalization, while I see it as good sense. After all he also mentioned the "puzzles solvers" who solved the "puzzle", and some would likely have happily provided an implementation if he had given the go-ahead. But he outright refused specifically because "... a user interface can handle only so much complexity or it becomes unusable". You don't need to try putting words in his mouth after he specifically stated that maintaining a simple user interface is higher priority.

And the really ironic thing is that we wouldn't even be having this discussion now if not for this focus, because Python wouldn't have gained such popularity to the point it's also attracting more folk who would destroy what makes it so popular in the first place.

Interestingly enough, by following up some references of the article I discovered that Go is also following up on Java and .NET design decisions, that maybe could be there early on.

- Deprecating finalizers and using cleaner queues (https://openjdk.org/jeps/421)

- Weak references (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.weakrefe..., https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/ref/Weak...)

"runtime: add AddCleanup and deprecate SetFinalizer" - https://github.com/golang/go/issues/67535

"weak: new package providing weak pointers" - https://github.com/golang/go/issues/67552

One day Go will eventually have all those features that they deemed unnecessary from "complex" languages.
Its patent infringement not copyright infringement.
it would be incredibly dull if only one company was allowed to make "catch things and make them fight for you" games. Or a game whereupon the player character is rendered from the point of view of the character's eyes, there are multiple other characters (player or non-player) and shooting was the point.

valve being so successful with half-life, when it was just a "less alien" version of unreal, or a less "doom" version of "Quake". Yes it was a great game but the mechanics of gameplay existed for ages; prince of persia had the 3d platforming, the ones previously mentioned for FPS, i don't think the gravity gun was unique itself, but perhaps in a first person shooter, it was. Heck borderlands and rage take half life style gameplay to new places. Minecraft wasn't original (also Lego, in there too).

innovation requires "remixing". Wholesale copying of assets and code should be punished. "prior art" needs to be scrutinized, because "did they actually make this, is it actually novel" is an important question.

and don't get me started on movies and TV shows.
I'd suggest RISC-V, not only because it is inevitable and rapidly growing the strongest ecosystem, or because the MIPS ISA is no more (company who owns it switched to RISC-V) but because it is free of microarchitecture spilling into ISA, which MIPS is guilty of.

From a programmer POV, RISC-V is not unlike MIPS, but much easier.

That is a bad case though. Japan gaming industry still produces great titles. Meanwhile the US industry is suffering massive layoffs and brain drain, all while investing tons into predatory crap like candy crush or the 5 billionth cod reskin instead. Nintendo being a patent troll here does not help the japanese gaming industry nor the broader industry at large, it discourages competition at best.
The accusation was insistently fielded by some malicious actors back when the early access version launched. It was debunked multiple times but it seems like it stuck to some anyway.

Medi-Cal is California's implementation of Medicaid, which along with CHIP is always administered by the individual states (though the federal government tries to apply some controls via funding).

That's the only big top-down state-by-state distinction that comes to mind, but there are a lot of small details. We have some models predicting medical outcomes and financials and state is always at or near the top of the SHAPs. Sometimes bigger than age or household income. (I don't study this or anything, just an incidental observation.)
I’ll say this again because people are downvoting as if I’m trying to defend this practice: I think it’s stupid.

Now, what I’m pushing against is this idea that it is “ageist”. I’m no native speaker but ageist is defined as

> a bias against individuals and groups based on their age

Now if I decide to fire everyone who’s making more than 500k at a company and it just so happens that those people are all above a certain age I don’t think that’s ageist. It’s certainly stupid and I think I made it clear. It’s a money driven decision, which is also stupid.

I just think it’s important of accuse people of the right thing if you want to accuse them of something. That’s all I’m saying.

But again, the fuck do I know. I don’t work in corporate, don’t play the stupid ladder game, will never get a promotion. I’m just here sharing a random thought on the bizarre business world you people live in.

treat him normally and let him explore the world with other senses. Such senses (especially hearing) in us develop with greater capability than others. Blindness isn't a difficult thing to live with in this age of high-tech, specially when one is blind from childhood, as one doesn't need to carry a baggage of emotions of suffering and has enough time to learn and build one's own path.

Make him also meet with fellow blind children and be part of the community once he's grown to a few years old. With them he'll experience the greatest ease.

Give him toys and tech with audio/haptic feedback and not necessarily ones which look extravagant in appearance.

Best of luck

I’ve seen it posted here once or twice before, but it always brings a smile to my face.
I should probably just write it up into a post, but the git mailing list at the time is the source (I remember reading it from the side a few months after convincing our VP R&D to switch from svn to git). We were chuckling around the same time that FB had to reallocate the stack on Galaxy S2 phones because they were somehow unaware of proguard or unable to have it work properly with their codegen.

Anyways:

1. Github benchmark: https://github.blog/engineering/infrastructure/improve-git-m...

2. The original email thread: https://public-inbox.org/git/CB04005C.2C669%25joshua.redston...

3. There's another email thread that gets linked everywhere - but in light of the prior thread, the numbers don't track: https://public-inbox.org/git/CB5074CF.3AD7A%25joshua.redston...

I recall there being a message from someone either at AirBnB or Uber who mentioned that they have a similar monorepo but without the slow git status, but can't seem to find it now - it's likely on one of the other mailing list archives but didn't make it to this one.

Point being that painting this as "the community was hostile" or "git is too slow for FB" is just disingenuous. The FB engineer barely communicated with the git team (at least publicly) and when there was communication, it was pushing a single benchmark that was deeply flawed, and then ignoring feedback on how to both improve the performance of slow blame, commit by repacking checkpoint packfiles (a one-off effort) and also ignoring feedback that the benchmark numbers didn't make sense in absolute terms.
A point of confusion is where it says both:

》Want unlimited launches of the latest launchpads? Need ongoing support? Reach out to (email)

》Reuse your code as many times as you like.

I have had extensive rounds of tests for various things with the NHS over the last several years, and never had a problem sufficient to feel private insurance, even as cheap as it is in the UK, to be worth it. I don't doubt it's worth it for some, but there's a reason - and while costs will stop some, costs does not explain nearly all of it, given how cheap it is - that only about 10% of the UK population has private insurance, even with the underfunding of the NHS in recent years (e.g. 20%-30% lower healthcare spend for capita PPP adjusted than comparable economies does have an effect).

There's an inflection point, sure, where you start spending enough privately that the insurance is worth it, but so many of these things are so cheap here anyway that the gap from between where it starts to pay off until you're ill enough to get reasonably fast treatment with the NHS is quite narrow.

Sometimes people think it is wider than it really is because people want and push for treatments that are not medically indicated. E.g. patients pushing for pointless MRIs is common enough that same-day MRIs is a huge industry here even though they only make an impact on outcomes for very specific symptoms.

In Estonia all of our records (incl. Health) are digitized and online in a central system that both doctors and you can access. It works wonders. Every doctor I go to can see my entire medical history with a press of a button, and I don't have to deal with any of that. Likewise when they prescribe new things, I can see my prescriptions right there, and so forth. We're a 100% online nation now, and clearly when done well it's remarkably good.
I think my current dentist might be overdiagnosing a bit, we were doing a bunch of work even though another dentist said everything was fine just a year before. My biggest regret currently is a decade old root canal done by my previous dentist that was never good and kept getting sore and inflamed in the gums. The new dentist eagerly redid the root canal a year ago but we eventually had to pull it out since a big abscess formed. Looking back, I should've extracted it sooner, since the bone was basically eaten away by lingering bacteria and I'll have to do some bone augmentation for an implant.
Flying to UK for cheap healthcare is a sick joke.

Oh I’m sure they’ll end up hiring again. And I’m also sure C-suite comps won’t go down. I just don’t think it’s a crusade against old people. It’s just that old people have more experience and demand higher pay. But I mean, if one wants to argue that it’s ageist to fire them then I can make the same stupid argument that it’s ageist for them to be paid more than younger people.

And it’s clearly a stupid argument because there are other factors and not just age.
Perhaps it's not about whether there's regulation in place, but about how afraid LI is of it being enforced?

This varies a lot on region, and even (for example in Canada) provincial jurisdiction, but I agree at the core this is a match.

I've seen constructive dismissal discussed for even adding on-call to someone who was hired without on-call requirements, unilaterally. The logic being "You're suddenly asking me to be paged at any time when on call, that wasn't part of the job description", and it is paramount to effectively "firing and re-hiring" a person in another role without their permission.

Why I mention legal jurisdictions, and the above example, is because some US states are 'at will' employment states. In such a state, you can just fire anyone at any time, and thus the whole "fired and re-hired" thing doesn't kick in... as the 'fire' part is a-ok.

People have contracts in such states, typically, especially at a CPO executive level. So I really wonder here, will this be more about breach of contract?

(Of course, there are other issues. The disclosure of medical info... that's just bizarre, and smacks of massive inexperience and lack of judgement, if true)

I worked with a blind programmer one time, and I saw firsthand that there is lots of room for improvement in the technology available for blind people. Since you seem to be a programmer yourself, maybe you could contribute to making these tools better so your son can grow up into a better world?
