I must say, I'm interested in why this ended up at -3, if anyone is keen to expand on their downvote for me - is it because you'd rather the state run it? Or because I suggested that the native people of California were better to run it?
Yes, absolutely. Although at least those seem to be unique to articles on Apple, I don't think I could change the company to Facebook or Netflix and copy them to another post without people noticing.
The Minneapolis I-35W bridge that collapsed in 2007 supposedly had bad gussets. Yet it had barely passed previous inspections; in 2005 it was deemed to have met "minimum tolerable limits to be left in place as it is".

In 2005 the US said it was in the same condition as 75,000 other bridges in the US: 'structurally deficient', which is also what the US called it in 1990. I'd guess that the same quality of decisions brought down Arecibo. Gotta pay the piper.

This is actually interesting for multiple reasons. One is the technology. The other is the positive outcome rate for cardiac arrest after 30 days is so low.

The percentage of cardiac arrest survivors with positive outcomes 30 days after release depends on the type of cardiac arrest, and can range from 40% to 82%:

In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA)
The 30-day survival rate for IHCA is around 25% in the United States and up to 35% in European countries. *In one study, the 30-day survival rate was 40%, with 34% of survivors having good neurological outcomes*.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA)
The probability of survival after OHCA can be increased by providing immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and using an automated external defibrillator (AED). In one study, *10% of people who experienced OHCA survived with a favorable neurological outcome*.

> Women in trades have reported encounters with customers who doubted their competence and who refused to deal with them, seeking a man instead.

There is plenty of low key sexism (and racism) like that among white collars too so it is not restricted to trades (as acknowledged by the article's author), but this goes beyond banter like just teasing someone because they have red hair.

Without wanting to indulge too much in macho tropes: A welding shop is inherently dangerous. If you spend long enough in one, you are going to get seriously injured at some point. You are going to be the first responder when someone else gets seriously injured. Surviving in that environment requires a certain level of toughness. I'm not defending bullying, but some places aren't supposed to be welcoming.

Yes, if only we could aspire to ideals -- no doubt better modeled in some golden past far far from modernity -- where more "close friends" excoriate each other viciously, obviously that's perfectly healthy and nobody could possibly have any reasonable basis for preferring something else.

> only looking for things to be offended about, but are looking to be offended on behalf of other people.

It's one thing if you or someone else personally enjoys some recreational conversational sadomasochism with the right partner, likely you can even persuade people to accommodate you with talk like that.

But the idea that there can't be genuine offense, only motivated offense attributed to some handwavy goal is clearly more projective pretense than anything like actual insight.
> If your services are mostly stateless and/or your development team is very small that can work. If not, you will quickly run into problems sharing the data.

No, not really. The size of your teams have zero to do with whether your services can corrupt data. That's on you. Don't pin the blame on a service architecture for the design errors you introduced. Everyone else does not have that problem. Why are you having it and blaming the same system architecture used by everyone else?

> Making schema changes to the shared cloud services.

What are you talking about? There is absolute zero system architectures where you can change schemas willy nilly without consequences. Why are you trying to pin the blame on microservices for not knowing the basics of how to work with databases?

In all the times I had to work on schema changes, the development was done with a db deployed in a sandbox environment, and when work was done we had to go with a full database migration with blue-green deployments along with gradual rollout. Why on earth are you expecting you can just drop by and change a schema?

> Cleaning up dev/test/etc data that has accumulated, etc.

Isn't this a non-issue to anyone who works with databases? I mean, in extreme scenarios you can spin up a fake database with your local service, but don't even try to argue this is the justification you need to launch dozens of services.

The truth of the matter is that this is extremely simple: if you want to work on a service, launch that service locally configuring it to consume all dependencies running in a non-prod environment. That's what they are for. If you have extremely specialized needs, stub specific dependencies locally. That's it.

I suspect that right now it's still very difficult to sell a laptop with unupgradeable RAM. Even if you never buy the upgrade, it was a reassurance factor: this machine may last five years, and at some point in that window, 16Gb is going to feel skimpy.

I suspect part of the problem is that we're sort of at the end of a 10-or-so year run where 16Gb would be a reasonable choice for mainstream machines, but 32Gb as a default isn't quite normalized. It would probably be a hard push to get the 32Gb-on-package SKU into $750 laptops.

I'm sort of surprised 24Gb laptops didn't take off. There seem to be a surprising number of 12Gb laptops (I'm guessing made up of, say, 8Gb soldered plus the cheapest 4Gb stick they had lying around so they could win a store spec-sheet battle)
For me the two things that show this well are:

1. Quick and easy: Install pihole and add every reasonable list you can find of tracker urls to block. And just watch the live log.

2. Takes a bit more time: install opnsense or pfsense. Block dns out of your network (but allow pihole) and watch the live log of blocked dns requests. Assuming everythong has been told to use pihole

3 (bonus round). A bit more time again: create vlans or similar put the devices that you have checked every do not call home option on and block their internet access. And watch the live logs of blocked traffic

Its quite a depressing process and not sure its worth maintaing as a live setup, but its certainly an eye opener.

Each one of these steps blocks an order of magnitude less stuff, but is interesting whats in each bucket. Pihole gets hits at an astounding rate

> I'm not sure it is discouraged so much as just not what people did in Python-land for a long time. It's obviously the right thing to do, it's totally doable, it's just inertia and habit that might mean it isn't done.

Pinning obviously the wrong thing, it only works if everyone does it and if everyone does it then making changes becomes very hard. The right thing is to have deterministic dependency resolution so that dependencies don't change under you.

> Resume chasing (...)

No one does microservices for resume chasing anymore, because everyone is already doing it for practical reasons. I never came across a monolith that wasn't in the process of peeling responsibilities to either microservices or function-as-a-service. For project managers to open their eyes, all that's needed is something like a deployment going wrong due to a single bad commit, or things scaling weird because a background process caused a brownout, or even external teams screwing up a deployment after pushing bad code.
I absolutely hate the combined location/search bar. I get the autofill of previous locations visited, but sending every single key press is not something I'm interested in at all. Is this a Chrome only feature or any browser that has default search engine set to Google?
> Because the language's semantics promise that a bunch of insane stuff can happen at any time during the running of a program, including but not limited to the fields of classes changing at any time. Furthermore, they promise that their integers are aribtrary precision which are fundamentally slower to do operations with than fixed precision machine integers, etc.

> The list of stuff like this goes on and on and on. You fundamentally just cannot compile most python programs to efficient machine code without making (sometimes subtle) changes to its semantics.

People said the same thing about JavaScript, where object prototypes can change at any time, dramatically changing everything. But it turned out JavaScript can run fast if you try hard enough. I suspect the same would be true for Python if a similar amount of resources was poured into it (probably with a similar "try the fast path, abort and fall back to a slow path in the extremely rare case that someone actually is doing funky metaprogramming" approach).
Good catch! Maybe that is the disconnect! I see close to ortho. Closer to ortho than it is anything else, but it just is not an ortho projection.

How do you conclude that in this case? I've never spent much time reasoning intuitionistically, so I'm a bit slow!

I just looked it up. Welding is definitely not a safe profession, but it seems like severe injury rates is around 3.5 per hundred workers throughout a whole career. Definitely not "most". And about the same or slightly less than carpentry (4 per hundred), which from personal experience is a profession filled with decent and friendly people.

I cannot load half (?) of the article, but the situation right now is a joke, indeed. I don't remember if there are other alternative stores outside SetApp, which is still in Beta, and AltStore PAL. I have downloaded the later. It has two (2) applications and 4-5 extra sources. I have only subscribed (?) to the UTM one. Epic Games also has one, by the way.
Now, AltStore has been a thing for some time now. There are many more sources (repositories of sort) out there. But, if you go to add a new one, it says "no marketplace ID was found, there are no notarized apps in this source, which is not supported in this version." Googling what is up I found that Apple has to give the greenlight for apps to get posted to the alternative store(s). Which already has been inspected by Apple. It's a joke of the kind only Apple can make.
And I was just aware that alternative app stores will be a thing and Googled explicitly for them, of course I found no promotion in the App Store for them. They are too busy promoting the same apps again and again and falsely advertising stuff, as Apple does.
The article is about internal defibrillators. External ones are still the same as (good grief) 35 years ago (well maybe down from 300J to 200J). The only change I've noticed is moving from a gel for the pads to a gel pad (which feel like a frog, chuck one in your partners bed and let them find it!) which reduced the possibility of burning and odd smells in your ambulance. Fortunately my sense of smell wasn't great and often had a partner who smoked (and was allowed to in the olden days) in the ambulance to dull it. You kids don't know how it was having to actually manually read the trace instead of all this new-fangled automation that guides you through it.
Just dropping in to say thank you! Fun read, fun idea, well executed.

> Like other tradeswomen, I’ve learned to work around unwanted comments, including uninvited conversations with men bent on signaling their expertise.

It's obvious why an uninvited conversations are perceived as a sexism.

But anyone with the experience in almost anything but particularly in any trade would tell you what men do receive uninvited conversations with men bent on signaling their expertise all the goddamn time.

Sure, seeing 'a woman out of place' triggers some of them to do it when they wouldn't do it with a man in the same place, because they could get told to shove their oh-so-important opinion to the place where sun is not shining, but the source of this behaviour is not to be a sexist asshole but just being an asshole.

As the other comment rightfully notes, any difference is going to be a target.
They’re already commercializing this. I’m due for a new implanted defibrillator because of a needed battery change. My current one is 5in x 4in. Depending on when I get it, my electrophysiologist says next one should be smaller due to a smaller required charge to jump start the heart.
>It's not acceptable to make fun of people for being skinny, ginger, shy, black, white, female, or any other things that the in group considers non-standard for whatever weird reasons.

How about let people say and do whatever they want amongst themselves and stay out of their conversations.

Dudes in dangerous professions bond by calling each other slurs which is ok because they're all in on it, such that if you can't handle some bad words how are you gonna handle the real dangers of the profession where people need to know you have their backs, so you're either not cut out for the job.

You as an outsider from the nice people bubble don't have a say in this to lecture them since you're not in on it.
Here are a few searches of HN comments.

I agree in that there's hypocrisy on either side. You'll also find commenters on this site who cite the FBI claiming, "White supremacists are the number one terror threat". Meanwhile, mass media pundits sought to paint all of their political opponents as racists. Comments echoing that talking point were also prevalent on HN. Thankfully, that narrative has mostly moved out of popular imagination.

From my perspective the pendulum swings between targeted groups. Each respective group has their turn to run the gauntlets of media demonization and security service targeting. Many of the same people who were cheering the expanses of the security state during the heights of the War on Terror clutch peals when the pendulum swings back upon their demographic. Each tribe has their chance to shout down the 'others'. We shouldn't be surprised if similar tactics are used to pursue the formerly favored BLM activists in the coming years. The only constant is the expansion of the security state. Classic divide and conquer.

The FBI has been running this playbook since at least the 50s. Other commenters on HN have rightly compared it to Soviet internal security policies. There's nothing truly new under the sun. Human nature is tribal and there will always be those who seek to exploit it to gain power. The judgement of whether this is deliberate or the result of natural incentives such as career advancement and political necessity is an exercise for the reader.

I tire of the notion that if we don't have the technical acumen to remove technical changes that provide data to third parties and know the implications of what it means that we opted ourselves into no privacy.

As opposed to the reality of these changes being relentlessly forced on us with often opaque privacy implications.

You are blaming a blind man for not seeing what people are taking from him.

The very framing that we've opted ourselves into a privacy-less world is a lawyer's shoehorned logic applied to modern technology. It's a tortured conception of the world.
Some people can, but I've disabled that shite. Also, I don't use Chrome, so it would still be interesting if the default search was not Google in Chrome to see if Chrome still sends the keystrokes to Googs. It's one of those things that I've always hoped Chrome keylogging was just a conspiracy theory, but never cared to look one way or the other. There are some things that even for science I just don't have the time, so hoping others will/do.
