In my state the wait is under 8 minutes for ER care. So, I can't relate.

Yes, you're required to fill out forms and participate in the system. And therein lies the rub. The people that don't have care are those who are not capable of filling out and keeping up with all the forms. Or are otherwise unwilling to do so. And that's exactly how it goes in Europe too. You don't just get to walk into any hospital with no ID and no registration (aka insurance) and get non emergency care. That's pretty comparable. And even with their "free" care they still have to pay for private treatment from the same doctor anyway so they won't have to wait a year for non emergency surgery.

At worst you can say our forms are longer, and more complicated. But you can't say it's not socialized. If you fill out all the forms you get the same care at the same price as Europe (if you count taxation) and at least in my state, there's no line for the hospital and I can see a doctor in a few days, usually, for specialty stuff.

And objectively, we have more broke people entering this country and still living long enough that our life expectancy is on par with countries that have a tenth of the immigration rate and a lesser poverty rate. So medically speaking, we're pretty miraculous, all things considered. So says the data.
Records, tuples, pattern matching, immutability, error handling with Result<‘a>, distaste for nulls, it’s got everything that Microsoft is trying to shoehorn into C# today, without all the baggage that C# brings with it. It seems like F# (fortunately) does have many reasons /to/ change.

So, taking the spirit of the question - authors with unique perspectives - if you haven’t read anything by Ursula Le Guin, you really owe it to yourself to do so.

For work that explicitly draws on other cultural backgrounds, Black Leopard Red Wolf by Marlon James is fantastic, and someone else mentioned Nnedi Okorafor, whose whole catalog is great. Ken Liu’s Dandelion Dynasty series is also worth a read.
Please show me a hospital where actual doctors are manning the ER intake desks and triaging patients instead of actually working with patients in exam rooms.

Common-sense security for SSH on a new Debian server
> In a recent work discussion, I came across an argument that didn’t sound quite right. The claim was that we needed to set up containers in our developer machines in order to run tests against a modern glibc

You're right, this is wrong. You need to set up containers in your developer machines to test against *everything*. You need to take the exact environment that you, the developer, are using to build and test the app, and reproduce that in production. Not just glibc, but the whole gosh darn filesystem, the environment variables, and anything else capturable in the container. (That is, if you care about your app working correctly in production....)

> Consider this: how do the developers of glibc test their changes? glibc has existed for much longer than containers have. And before containers existed, they surely weren’t testing glibc changes by installing modified versions of the library over the system-wide one and YOLOing it.

No, they were just developing against one version of glibc, for each major release of their product.

Back in the day, software developers took incredibly seriously the idea of backwards compatibility. You were fairly sure that if the user could run your app with at least the same version of glibc as you, they could run your app. So the developers would pick one old-ass version of glibc to test with, to ensure as many customers as possible could run their app.

Eventually a new version of the product would require a breaking change in glibc, and the old product would fall out of support eventually, but until then they had to keep around something to test the told version for fixes.

Either they'd develop on an old-ass system, or have a "test machine" with that old-ass version of glibc, or use chroot. You know, the thing that lets you execute binaries in a fake root filesystem, including with a completely different glibc, and everything else? Yeah. We had fake containers before containers. Tar up a filesystem, copy your app into it, run it with a chroot wrapper.

You don't have to wonder when you should use containers or not, i'll make it very simple for you:

Q: Are you developing and testing an application on
your laptop, and then running it ("in production")
on a completely different machine, and is it
important that it works as you expect?

A: Use containers.

(p.s. that system you thought up? i worked for a company 20 years ago that took RPM and Frankenstein'd it to do what you describe. even did immutable versioned config files, data files, etc not just binaries. it was really cool at the time. they use containers now. soooo much less maintenance hassle.)

Ask HN: How to manage different SaaS subscriptions?
How do you guys handle various and changing subscription tiers? Do you just code this yourself? I’m using stripe but I mean for the various schemes. I’m thinking of trying out $35/mo which is the small company package. It includes access for 5 users, with each additional user costing $10. I might also want to try out $5 per user or $10 per user, or adjust that former package a bit.

My software is super early and I’m not charging yet. Just me working solo for about a month or two so far so a long way to go. I’m dog-fooding my own software and getting feedback, and hoping to open it up in the next few months or so. Because it would be so sparse I doubt I can charge more than a few bucks but I want to raise prices for new customers asap as new features come online.

My ultimate goal would be to charge $40 or more per user but that’s a ways off, and try to compete with some incumbents that charge like 100 plus dollars a user.
Maybe for some, but you can't say all of them are paid for. And even with those, that does not render them not useful.

How to Pick Your Battles: A Simple Framework for Addressing Issues at Work
I agree, but it doesn’t change the fact in my mind that despite golang’s nulls, I’ve found it to be a ridiculously productive language to work with in a lot of cases. I’d credit that to the simplicity of the language (if not the runtime), and, it least from that perspective, it’s something Golang shares with F#. F# has the obvious advantage of a significantly better type system and the disadvantage of not sharing the more familiar Algol/c syntax.

> Given the strongly typed flavour of data oriented programming, I wonder if you have any thoughts on the "proliferation of types" problem.

Not a problem.

You're just making your life needlessly hard and blaming Java for the problems you're creating for yourself.

This represents, coincidentally, the bulk of the problems pinned on Java.

Everywhere else the problem you described is a variant of an anti-pattern and code smell widely known as telescoping constructor pattern.

The problems caused by telescoping constructors have a bunch of known cures:

- builder pattern (Lombok supports this, by the way),

- the parameter object pattern (builder pattern's poor cousin)

- semantically-appropriate factory methods.

The whole reason behind domain models taking the center stage when developing a software project is that you build your whole project around a small set of types with the necessary and sufficient expressiveness to represent your problem domain.

Also, "explosion of aggregate types" can only become a problem if for some reason you don't introduce support for type conversion when introducing specialized types.

There's nothing at all interesting about this. People take insulin their whole lives, and statins, metformin, immunosuppressants if they're transplant receivers, steroids for asthma, losartan for blood pressure, Levoxyl for thyroid malfunction, probably many dozens more. You take drugs for the rest of your life because that is a superior option to the alternative, which is suffering (or dying) from the condition the drug treats. Nobody who takes those drugs wishes the drugs didn't exist. Only people on message boards do. They have the luxury of comparing them to fantasy football therapeutics and morality plays.

The pharma company that invents a pill you take once and stay stably at your goal weight for the rest of your life will make approximately 8.6 bajillion dollars. Nobody's holding it back to preserve profits for Wegovy or whatever.

Which means the commercial real estate market is going to shift with more and more “co-working” spaces being created.

One thing I wonder is if they will simply turn one office room into a co-low space - where it’s easier to drive to, it’s simpler to manage. Because cloud first is a rubbish solution for most people - just have a server with a TB of disk and most companies can live on that happily running away in the corner.

And there might be a growth for companies that have expertise in the basics of racks and HVACs just to run that room for them.

This is kinda intractable. It's tough for someone without housing to be a productive member of society. It's tough for an addict to get or maintain housing. It's tough to get sober. It's tough^2 to get sober on the streets.

If our goal is to encourage sobriety, I don't think the solution is locking people up. "Physical" withdrawals are short and relatively easy to deal with, it's the other baggage that needs to be dealt with.
