Not the same person, but this affects me and I can explain. I have around a hundred apps installed, and use them just frequently enough to keep them around. All of them can sync their data back to a new device without issue.

The problem is that when a new or wiped device installs those apps again, they won't have any of their account or configuration data. Even with a password manager to help, logging back in and configuring my preferences is a tedious, all-day affair. In years past, there were ways to transfer account data, but they stopped working a long time ago. I am eager to find a solution to this that works without root and on modern Android.
And a significant chunk of these important extension libraries are supported in pypy using the emulated C-extension api (cpyext)
What do you mean "set up"? Like when I get a new phone, my previous apps just reinstall themselves. I might have to log back in, but that only takes a sec with a password manager.

Does it not work like that for you?

I've only gone from Nexus to Pixel to Pixel though (all Google phones) so maybe that's why?

Property-based testing is also effective in finding bugs even in the absence of any formal model. Basically you just need to identify informal invariants ("properties"), encode them as asserts, and then run tests with enough coverage to likely find any invariant violations.
Hah, Kevin Smith caught some flak for that one:

"
Someone called out Kevin Smith for this on one of his podcasts. According to Smith, on the day of filming, he asked if the picture really was a sailboat, and the prop master said no. When Smith started questioning this, the prop master said that a) it flashes on the screen too quickly for anyone in the theatre to notice, and b) VHS was too low-resolution for people to freeze-frame it to try it at home. So Smith let it slide.

Smith summed up, "Now, thanks to Blu-Ray, I get people pointing this out to me all the time!"

Is Starlink also officially prohibited like in Saint Helena [1]? Seems to be a very similar situation (down to the same ISP Sure!).

That said, there I do somewhat see the benefits of giving a fibreoptics provider exclusivity for a while in such a small market.

No expert should be unaware of this, much less poorly-versed.
If git was aimed at regular peope I'd agree it's not well designed. It's not. It's a tool for software engineers to do a job. It is not flawless. But it was massive improvement over the code management tools that were in use before it and I haven't encountered a replacement I prefer.

A lot of the problems people have with git are actually problems with bad workflows. You can argue that git should support arbitrary workflows but that's like arguing a garbage truck should support offroading.

Per Mark:

“This really hit the most extreme during theBiden administration when they were trying to roll out the vaccine program. "

“While they're trying to push that program, they also tried to censor anyone who is basically arguing against it. They pushed us super hard, to take down things that were honestly true."

“They basically pushed us and said,'anything that says that vaccines might have side effects you basically need to take down.’”
> My mom become really angry and cided us for using such “big words” to “lord our education over her”.

Sounds like a skill issue.

Joking aside, I think one of the most important things anyone can learn in life is being comfortable not knowing and being comfortable asking. As a researcher I don't understand other researchers who have such high confidence and are happy to claim they understand when a low threshold is obtained [0]. Personal I feel as I learn a subject I only get to "oh I think I might get this" to only then find a new rabbit hole. Though, personally, I enjoy this. It's why I research ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not sure how to teach that but I'm at least happy to say I don't know. Like how I totally forgot what an endocrinologist did until you said it lol. There's no shame in not knowing things. But I'm guessing your mom (like my parents) is very uncomfortable with not knowing things. In that case, any answer is better than no answer. Because knowing is valued over understanding. I do think there's social aspects that reinforce this, but I'm not sure what to do besides demonstrate my own stupidity lol

[0] I find people's judgement of understanding a subject is extremely subjective. Even when we remove the set of cases where it's being said to placate another or move a conversation along. I mean honest proclamations.
> Go back, consider more candidates who might not fit your preconceived notion of what you thought a person in that role should look like.

This is already super weird. If someone is making decisions on who to interview based on the gender/culture of the name they see on the resume and not the qualifications and work history, having them "consider" some additional token candidates is not going to do much. On the flip side, an interviewer that's already trying to be impartial in this situation is going to have to admit candidates he normally would not have based on their qualifications to interview someone "diverse".

And then there's the definition of "white". In practice, a lot of these efforts consider asian immigrants "white" for some reason. Meanwhile a privileged black person from an Ivy League school is not "white" even though they're going to be "white" in every socioeconomic way that matters.

Does this support FHIR? If not have you considered supporting it?

Many health care providers offer export of health records to FHIR format now. You can also retrieve those records on iOS via the HealthKit API.

Apple lets you log into your health care provider in the Health app and download all your records from supported providers. You can request access to those records from another app installed on your phone.
I disagree that "The only point of this type of research is to go with girlbrain ideology". The paper doesn't provide suggestions about what it means to have those differences, it just shows that such differences exist, even with some large overlaps. The article in the original post jumps to conclusions, which, I agree, are based on prejudices about what it means to be male/female.

Research on differences between sexes is useful and often needed for providing tailored health services and even for fighting prejudices or reducing systematic biases in society. Pretending we are all the same doesn't help anybody.
This may be an incorrect generalization, but I thought I read that in much of Africa, people do not really use fixed ISPs. They just use the cell phone infrastructure for their internet needs via their phones. I understand this is because cell phone infrastructure is a lot cheaper to roll out and also that there was less desktop computers, etc to plug into ethernet cables.

So this article seems to be comparing against something that isn't very popular in the first place - fixed ISPs.
US railroads really need to be nationalized. The past 70 years or so have had absolutely minimal investment. The fact that so much cargo in the US is taken by truck instead of train is kind of crazy given how much more efficient trains are (especially when electrified, but even if not).

At least on Intel, it was quite a significant difference in some ways, in kernel terms.
Not at all.

Frame rates varies widely, resolutions varied widely. The exact behavior was in e.g. pixels/frame, and you had to work hard to get the same feel on a 50hz 256x192 4Mhz z80 ZX Spectrum, as you did on the 60hz 160x200 1Mhz 6510 C64 ; Also abilities differed widely : C64 had hardware sprites, tile (text) mode and hardware scrolling; Spectrum had nothing but a frame buffer (it did have a much faster memory copy instruction, LDIR, but that didn’t compete with hardware scrolling).

And the original arcade, of course, had multiple playfield with hardware scaling, and often game-specific hardware (in the early days at least)
> That isn't my argument

That is in fact what I'm trying to get you to understand. You're arguing a different point than what was proposed. What you propose is entirely valid, but is missing the forest for the trees.

Your goals for what a language should be/do and what Golangs Goals for a language should are not equivalent. You admit it yourself in part here:

> I just think starting from a "C mindset" was the wrong foundation in which to build a language at this point in time.

It's why I've entirely bypassed your attempts to discuss the nuance.

You may disagree with the "C mindset" and other design principles, but ignoring the context of why decisions were made is not productive discourse for determining whether something is designed well or not, which again, was your original and very firmly stated assertion up top.

There is more to a language than it's abstractions and syntax/syntactical sugar and paradigm. Learning curve, intuitiveness, familiarity, conventions, devex (creating and maintaining) and usecase and who is intended/expected to use it are all important as well, and inform why certain decisions are made.

In other words, Thinking people need to move on from the C mindset is an entirely valid argument to make. It has no bearing on whether C or C-inspired languages are designed well, as it entirely ignores what those designs were intended to achieve and who they were trying to cater to.

TL;DR: How well something caters to your goals isn't the same discussion of how well it's designed to cater to someone elses/it's own stated goals. So yes, you feel it's badly designed because you refuse to acknowledge it's not trying to cater you, and that it has no duty to.
What about rural population in poor countries? I live in Kazakhstan where we don't have a lot of money (or population), and many people live in very sparsely populated areas. Internet connectivity in cities is fine (I pay like 10 USD for symmetric 60 megabyte/s fiber), but villages are few and far between, and it's simply not economical to cover them with fiber: you'll need thousands of kilometers of it to cover maybe a few thousand people. Maybe it will be practical when/if the country has 20-30 times the population.

The government has already provided many rural schools with Starlink terminals, and many locations which only recently didn't have internet connectivity now do have it. Apparently they don't see something you do.

I disagree that non-engineers should never have to deal with git. This may be true at large organizations, but at startups and labs, many people who are not software developers have to work with of code.

In the biotech startup I worked for, the biologists and the chemists absolutely had to deal with the code that we wrote, that was the only way we could get things done! I think maybe in very large organizations with people to spare, and large departments, and official policies, you can have rules like that. But at smaller places, you have to get scrappy and have everybody work with everything. That involves non-engineers using git!

>I think it was 85000 new visas per year for several decades.

This sounds close. I think it was lowered on or near Trump's first term. It was higher during Obama, I'm recalling 185K maybe. Also, this misleading to the public because it's 85,000 new visas that can be extended 6 years I believe, so that's ~510,000 at any given time.
> people probably already having a lot of tools that they use and prefer. Another tool adds to their work load.

Further, a lot of providers are very strict about what tools their organization is allowed to use. In the past I’ve tried to get providers to look at a personal web page where I’d had a medical history and links to imaging data, and they weren’t allowed to access it via policy.

(I then brought 10 disks of imaging on a thumb drive - but they wouldn’t take that either. So I re-burned them onto physical media, and they were ok with importing that.)

I do understand why those policies are necessary, and in the end I learned their systems and limitations. It’s actually been an ok experience.

It doesn't have to be the only goal, but if you're not making money you will not be able to achieve anything else. So it's the thing that enables any other goals you might have (and, I might add, it's the main thing that makes it worth the risk, vs. just putting your money in savings bonds or something).

The fact that our large complex brains make childbirth painful has a kind of irony: the original mistake in the garden was that they supposed they knew better than God, and so they ate of that one forbidden tree.

Ammonia in a form suitable for combustion is extremely toxic and even produces chemical burns on direct skin contact.

There's been quite a few deaths from industrial ammonia tank (plant, truck, railcar), leaks but unlike hydrogen there's zero chance for a combustion explosion or incidental damage from fire.

Ammonia also almost immediately diffuses and dissipates in air at atmospheric conditions, so while it's VERY toxic it's only VERY toxic for a VERY brief period of time (a few minutes).

One of the odd "safety" benefits with ammonia is that it takes a rather special set of circumstances for it to combust in the first place. That makes it a sub-optimal fuel in many applications--notably aviation.

Thanks for that neat fact about using hydrogen in diving. I'm only familiar with trimixes or bimixes of oxygen, nitrogen, and helium.
This is what I do, the only issue is that I don't have nearly as much "range" with divergence as I do with convergence, so I have to make the pictures as small as possible when using it to line up two images (as opposed to autostereograms, which usually have a much smaller divergence offset).

> Denser development is much more environmentally friendly

Sorry when I said "the environment" I meant the living environment, as in: the common preference to live in a quiet low density neighborhood rather than a loud dense urban environment with all of the problems that come with it. I don't know where you live, but ignoring money and housing/rental values, if the population of your block increased 10x would you be happy about it? Even if you would be excited by that, not everyone will agree with you that stacking ourselves on top of eachother is the pinnacle of human civilization.

"What are you talking about?" is a swipe in online English. It insinuates that the other person doesn't know what they're talking about.

That's even more true in a comment like the GP, which starts with 3 tendentious sentences hammering the other person's point and then moves to "What are you talking about". Such a comment pattern-matches to a cross-examination style of conversation, which the HN guidelines ask you to avoid because it's not what we want here.

If you really want to know what someone is talking about, "what are you talking about?" is an ineffective way to say so, since it means the opposite of what it says, with an overlay of insult.
