Agree with this. I put all my stuff in storage several times. One time I put it all in a smaller rural town because a because cost was 1/5th of what it was in a big city ($70 a month vs $350 a month). But even then, the stuff was in there for 4 years so ($3360) + the van to move it and most of it could have been replaced for far less.

I eventually emptied it but I made the mistake is discarding books and trinkets that were actually memorabilia. I didn't interact with the trinkets or pull the books off the shelves. I didn't realize that just seeing them would trigger memories of where I bought them, who I was with, what I was into then, what songs were popular then, etc... so I regret getting rid of that stuff. But that was probably no more than 10 "book boxes" of stuff

I think this chart would have been greatly enhanced by adding Fed interest rates.

The way things were during the previous decade was not sustainable. The current situation too shall pass and hopefully evolve into something more sustainable.

I for one don't miss the churn fuelled by easy VC money.
The phrasing in the article about "suspected to be fraudulent" is over-cautious, probably because of Britain's very generous libel laws covering newspapers.
IMO a government subsidy for homemakers will in reality be a subsidy for corporations who can now pay the working parent even less. What needs to be normalized is a single salary being enough to support a family of four, like it used to be.
Key Innovations Introduced by ALGOL 60:
Block Structure: It introduced the concept of structuring code into blocks, which paved the way for modular programming.

Formal Syntax: ALGOL 60 used Backus-Naur Form (BNF) to formally define its syntax, setting a standard for future language specifications.

Recursion: It supported recursive function calls, which was revolutionary at the time.

Lexical Scoping: It allowed nested functions and controlled variable scope.

Platform Independence: It aimed to be machine-independent, making it suitable for documenting algorithms.
Basically not. VTR is a research platform not really a tool used for real implementation. nextpnr is the tool for that. In that sense integration in VTR is nice but a few years back I would have hoped nextpnr would have become the standard. Much easier to compare fully open designs.

This reminds me of when Redhat went public in the late 90s and did a generous thing with the friends and family round for the IPO. They included every open source contributor they could find in the Redhat sources. Including me, a grad student at the time. I made a few thousand dollars flipping the stock which probably doubled my salary for the year. (My contribution was an early HTML mode for emacs.) It was a really nice gesture.

Reddit did something similar last year in their IPO. I'd love to read an article on how people benefitted from it.
It sounds like many of the posters go to clubs that cater to various subcultures. If there's one thing that a sizable segment of programmers love, it's subcultures. Beyond that, even though programmers are overrepresented here compared to the general population, a lot of posters are not software developers by career but are somewhere in the orbit of the tech world.
Oils aims to be the absolute best way to migrate shell scripts! (I created the project, and the wiki page being discussed)

https://www.oilshell.org/

OSH is the most bash-compatible shell in the world, and YSH is a new language

ls | sort | uniq | wc -l # this is both OSH and YSH

var mydict = {foo: 42, bar: ['a', 'b']} # this is new YSH stuff you can start using
json write (mydict)

The difference between OSH and YSH is exactly a set of "shopt" options [1], although YSH feels like a brand new language too! There is a smooth blend.

I think it's worth it for 2 things alone

- YSH checks all errors - you never lose an exit code

- YSH has real arrays and doesn't mangle your variables with word splitting

There's a lot more: modules with namespaces (use mymodule.ysh), buffered I/O that's not slow, etc.

Gradually upgrading -https://github.com/oils-for-unix/oils/wiki/Gradually-Upgradi... (people are writing new YSH, but not many people have gradually upgraded, so I'd definitely appreciate feedback from people with a big "shell script problem")

---

There is a FAQ here about Perl:

Are you reinventing Perl? - https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2021/01/why-a-new-shell.html#a...

Not to say that migrating to Perl is worse in any way, i.e. if you already know Perl or your team knows it.

But objectively YSH is also a shell, so I think more of the code carries over, and there is a more direct upgrade path.

> Forty-eight articles published in 42 different journals were analyzed, with a total of 3655 subjects with 29.51 ± 21.51 years of age, of whom 1990 consumed or were treated with honey. Of the 3655 subjects, at least 1803 were women (two studies did not specify). The studies included different population groups (healthy subjects, overweight or obese subjects, diabetic subjects, subjects with cancer, children, etc.) and included more than 30 different types of honey. Although it is not a systematic review, the results of the PEDro scale regarding the quality of the articles were in the range of 6–10, with articles scoring 6 or higher being considered of good methodological quality.

The exact same conversations about lack of housing supply is happening in Ireland and the UK. The problem is highlighted now because the rate of immigration has increased sharply.
I think you're trying to separate two inseparable concepts. The ONLY means we have of verifying the correctness of data is by comparing it with observation, i.e. data from the real world. Real world data is correct data, and synthetic data is inherently only as correct as its correlation with real world data.

There is of course some real world data that is more correct than other real world data, based on collection methods, sample sizes, etc., but again the only way we know that is, again, real world data.
Maybe they call it 1950s, but to me this oozes late 80's video games.

Thank you for your description of your first hand experience - very interesting. Life at sea is rather different to on land!

"except the cop is heavily armed commandos in an Apache attack helicopter."

Apaches don't deploy at sea. They are land based beasties. They don't carry commandos either. Pilot and CPG - two crew. Perhaps you meant a Blackhawk, if you are thinking about an American setup, which I think has a maritime variant or two. Brits will come at you with a Lynx or a Merlin.

You'll probably never see an Apache at sea. Their usual targets will sink without any assistance Anyway, I think you mean marines in a Blackhawk. Commando is also a bit British.
The Void Trilogy hits closer to The Culture than does the Commonwealth Saga (which is why I didn't recommend that series). You have a (near) post-scarcity society grappling with what it means to be human and how much intervention is necessary or even right. It delves deeper into politics than The Culture—or at least does so more blatantly—and even centers around an OCP.

All that said, it's close but not quite there. In its defense, I don't think it's trying to be a successor to The Culture. It's not nearly as thought-provoking, which I think is that intangible quality that makes The Culture what it is.

It's still an excellent series well worth reading! I hope you enjoy it.

Right now I'm looking for some good (preferably hard) SF audiobooks to check out on Libby. Discovery can be a challenge!
I have pondered this question before and I have seen people recommending "Philosophy of software design" by John Ousterhout, but my qualms with Clean Code is not that it needs a substitute, its just that its a fairly simple set of concepts about which Bob makes a big deal. I did read some of his books, but I realized its only about 10% of what makes a competent software engineer. My suggestions to people starting out or even seasoned programmers are that get an idea of what he advocates (TDD, SOLID and all that) but then design of programs is just a small part.(And I also can debate the usefulness of both TDD and SOLID. Personal opinion coming: they are great for small or greenfield projects but almost always don't hold up in the real world).

Learn about other kinds of (much more effective) testing like System/Integration testing, Property-based testing. Spend a lot of time learning about databases and SQL. Maybe get into somewhat esoteric topics like constraint solvers and logic programming. You may not use these but it helps to know there's a wide world out there, and they do bend your brain enough to enable you to think differently.

Time is limited. It does matter what we spend it on.
Great in the short term, really crappy and lonely in the long term. Couples like this get to enjoy themselves in themselves in their 30s, 40s, and 50s while their friends and families are investing in their children and grandchildren, and then then the DINKs retire and find that they don't have anyone around to spend time with. The friend's lives and social groups revolve around their children and grandchildren, and they don't have all that much in common with the childless couple that's in their 60s. Then they still have 20-30 years of life expectancy if the loneliness doesn't kill them first.

We share more than 90% of our DNA with rats. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’d like to suggest there are some qualitative differences between myself and a literal rat.
I dont think it is sexist to question who receives the value. I am very skeptical of nebulous attributions to society.

Homemaking is self serving in a way that working in a factory (for example) is not.
American shopping malls of the mid-to-late 20th century were a decent bet, but I think they fail because a) they're very pedestrian hostile, b) they tend to be owned by a singular landlord that can enforce policies that discourage gathering, and c) they just kind of smack of artificiality. But bazaars, street markets, and other commercial areas have certainly been third-places since before long before it was a defined term. Heck, the ancient Greeks were quite proud of their agora.

The armchair psychologist in me says Dr. Weiner is a sociopath who sees himself as a superhero doctor: controlling patients the entire way through the system, dismissing other physicians as incompetent or antagonistic, and diagnosing symptoms with diseases he happens to specialize in after quick tests or examinations. He even lied about how a family called his personal cell phone and begged him to cut his vacation short.

He wants money, but less out of greed and more because superhero doctors naturally earn a lot of money. There are plenty of easier ways to cheat money out of the system than maintaining that a man has stage 4 lung cancer for 11 years.
Imagine being the reporter for this and reading all this, talking to everyone, and then talking to the man himself, and then have to write "no criminal charges pressed"

Personally I abandoned acme.sh for lego because it didn't work well. For example, they lost track of the environment variables they were using for the server in their acme dns plugin across versions, thereby breaking what's supposed to be a fire and forget process.

That and the CA that was exploiting shell injection in acme.sh convinced me it was time to move on
> All the throat clearing you feel the need to do is sexist.

This reply seems unnecessarily hostile, especially since you both agree that taking care of children is socially necessary and valuable.

According to the poll, 50% of women with children under 18 prefer a homemaker role, while 29% of men with children under 18 would prefer a homemaker role. That's a significant difference, to be sure, but 29% is far from 0%. It shouldn't be dismissed, and neither should the 45% of women with children under 18 who prefer to work outside the home.
We live in a small world, and the chances of being exposed in the background of a selfie are larger than we might assume.
It's easy to make this a story about top surgeon with a God complex, but the bigger story is the regulatory environment that allows this to happen.

A doctor was billing Medicare for seeing up to 70 patients a day - more 15-minute visits than any other doctor in the entire United States. No regulator noticed this or acted?

Multiple insurance companies paid for 11 years of Stage 4 lung cancer treatment without ever requiring proof the cancer existed. Not one claims adjuster or medical reviewer caught this.

Hospital administrators let him make himself both oncologist AND primary care physician for his patients, creating a closed system with no oversight. They let him take over end-of-life care despite concerns about suspicious deaths.

When hospital CEOs tried to question his practices, he organized campaigns to force them out. Hospital administrators chose protecting revenue over protecting patients.

The medical board failed. The DEA investigated but only pursued civil penalties.
Law enforcement seems uninterested in investigating multiple suspicious deaths.

What's most disturbing - after all this came to light, his medical license was renewed in 2023. He can still practice medicine and prescribe drugs today.

The whole thing exposes how profit incentives in healthcare can override patient safety at every level and the regulatory framework that we pay to protect us is part of the problem.

How do we fix a regulatory system that fails at every level to protect patients?
I plan to host the entire stack myself. I'm just concerned that Supabase might alter my database. Also, I'm unsure whether to proxy my database requests from my FastAPI app through Supabase (they seem to have a Python SDK) or leave it as it is now. I have PgBouncer, so I guess I don't need their custom balancer, and beyond that, it might not offer much. I'm just curious if such a setup has been used in practice and how successful it has been.
In my experience, Nix is very high leverage. My company has ~5 nix gurus, but Nix is invisibly used by hundreds of engineers. Most engineers know we use Nix and that's about it.

Outside of economics, raising children is in society's interest. We need the next generation to grow up, become productive, and pay taxes. If a family elects to have one parent stay home, that parent is doing valuable work for society and should be compensated. At the very least they should be eligible for unemployment for the first two years of a child's life. I don't care about the externalities.

I simply must remark on some details[brackets mine] FTFA:

>"Some ammunition can [1]take out a helicopter or [2]blow straight through an armored tank followed by a concrete building, out the other side, then explode, hitting targets 18 football fields away."<

Concerning [1]: a common .22 handgun can take out a helicopter. Even a well-placed rock can take out a helicopter:

https://www.foxnews.com/story/border-patrol-chopper-forced-d...

That, and their inherent complexity and relatively low reliability, are the reasons why helicopters are my least-preferred means of transportation.

Concerning [2]: Bullshit. Mostly b/c no knowledgeable person would try to shoot "through an armored tank followed by a concrete building, out the other side, then explode, hitting targets 18 football fields away."

After all, to hit a target requires that you aim. You cannot aim "through an armored tank followed by a concrete building, out the other side".

And I've simply got to ask: what munition, after piercing a tank and a concrete building, "then explode[s], hitting targets 18 football fields away."?

This article's author is sadly uninformed: no experience, no knowledge of the physical world. Sad.
I’ve seen this design again and again, but not in relational databases. I usually see it in spreadsheets. I would be completely unsurprised to see a three column Excel sheet with Employee, Skill, and Language headers. (https://kerricklong.com/tmp/demo-4nf-need.jpg) The spreadsheet designer’s intuition is that Skill and Language are lists, and Employee is a section header. Smith might have a few rows with his languages and skills listed, one per cell, in arbitrary top-to-bottom order and with no consideration for how language and skill in a row relate to each other—only to Smith. The Employee column has a single merged cell for Smith, a number of rows tall it needs to be to contain the largest of his lists. When migrating this from a spreadsheet to a database, you lose merged cells as a feature and can no longer rely on order—so you copy the value Smith to each cell that had been merged.
If you have thousands of lines of bash, don't like maintaining it, but don't necessarily want to rewrite the whole thing at once, that's what https://www.oilshell.org/ is for!

See my comment here, with some details: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42354095

(I created the project and the wiki page. Right now the best bet is to join https://oilshell.zulipchat.com/ if it interests you. People who want to test it out should be comfortable with compiling source tarballs, which is generally trivial because shells have almost no dependencies.)

The first step is:

shopt --set strict:all # at the top of the file

Or to run under bash

shopt -s strict:all 2>/dev/null || true

And then run with "osh myscript.bash"

OSH should run your script exactly the same as bash, but with better error messages, and precise source locations.

And you will get some strictness errors, which can help catch coding bugs. It's a little like ShellCheck, except it can detect things at runtime, whereas ShellCheck can't.
Brügger and Thomet VP9
It’s not intuitively obvious losing information makes things worse. In fact, it’s not even true. Plenty of lossy functions make the problem under consideration better off, such as denoising, optimizing, models that expose underlying useful structures, and on and on.

Also injecting noise can improve many problems, like adding jitter before ADC (think noise shaping, which has tremendous uses).

So claiming things like “can only make the end result worse” is “intuitive obvious” is demonstrably wrong.
You're right, I misunderstood how Medicare covers anesthesia. But the GAO report you shared strengthens Anthem's argument: they pay far more for anesthesia compared to Medicare, a sign that the providers are overcharging. And the stats about unreliability of recorded procedure times are still compelling.

One thing that stands out playing with the sorting is that Google's Gemini claims to have a context window more than 10x that of most of its competition. Has anyone experimented with this to see if its useful context window is actually anything close to that?

In my own experiments with the chat models they seem to lose the plot after about 10 replies unless constantly "refreshed", which is a tiny fraction of the supposed 128000 token input length that 4o has. Does Gemini actually do something dramatically differently, or is their 3 million token context window pure marketing nonsense?
Yes, very true, nice work.

By removing the profit incentive and making the medical system just a job.

Doctors can work in government sponsored facilities for a salary. No itemized CPT codes with varying costs.

No incentive to cheat.

Why bother when an anchor would work fine and provide plausible deniability?
