Heh, I'll chime in as I did residency at a busy program and advanced my coding skills on the side. Even working 80hr+ weeks you find downtime. Some of that you use for sleeping and studying. With whatever's left, some of my co-res

You're right to say it's mostly oversimplifications. The fallacy was the first economic concept introduced in the article-- > The first is still more or less true today: as demand for a product goes up, supply increases, and pr

This book review has a few economic fallacies and was probably not written by Gates. But, these points are interesting-- "It" refers to "intangible investment" here-- 1. It’s a sunk cost. If your investment doesn’t pan o

As I understand it, the story here is DM2 has recently been shown to be "put in remission"[1] by lifestyle changes and Virta Health pairs type 2 diabetics with doctors and a system to help patients make those changes. Primarily th

I'll also point out the author is conflating the economy with the market.

I had the pleasure to attend an epidemiology doc's lecture about how difficult sourcing food poisoning actually is. Part of the problem according her-- most cases require some amount of incubation time (2-3 days and several meals). The

This article didn't compare the Goldman Sachs model to any other models-- why not compare it with sports betting odds? Would Goldman have made or lost money betting their model was better than the crowd?

Nice work. There are several competitors in the automagic Postgres REST/GraphQL space, and you're nailing documentation and ergonomics here. Your site and the Hansura Console sets your project apart from the rest.

Could you expand on this? Of course they're different. 18.04 isn't worth the upgrade yet in my opinion.

I wish I didn't. My experience was so bad I'm actually back on Windows for the first time since 12.04 and might stay here. It was an X/driver issue and it took me a few hours to fix to just get X to load. Meanwhile, Windows w

Great letter (2001). It predictably focuses on language quality and side-steps practicality-- the assumption being practicality isn't as important as learning a high-quality language in an introductory course.

Indeed, but you can do other work while Redmond holds your computer captive.

I cut my teeth on Windows with Microsoft Visual Studio Basic in the 2000s, then Windows/Dev-Cpp because of poor MSVC++ support for some C++ features I thought I needed at the time, switched to Mac/Vim, then had a 6ish year stent w

Interesting. My PI in undergrad had several R01s and we were swimming in funds but their spending categories were restricted. $50000 to us on labor may have been worth it for $25000 in equipment, for instance. He did, however, refuse to tap

The USA is about 30x Finland's size by landarea and building data is primarily stored at the county or equivalent level of government (3000 of those). Imagine munging data from 3000 different counties, each with their own standards and

Neat tech. And, perhaps validated by John Deere's acquisition of Blue River last September for $284million-- $193 million being goodwill!

The "Go logo" has always been something like "-=GO"[1]. There's not much changing here, unless the announcement signals that they're going to start de-emphasizing the acquired-taste gopher. [1] See the black&#x

You have my sincere thanks for prioritizing workflow improvement. In healthcare IT, so many decisions are made without stakeholder input, leading to truly bizarre interfaces and less time I get to spend with each patient. There are some exc

As someone who's only dabbled in Rust (writing a few <500 line projects in a mostly non-idiomatic style), I've enjoyed every minute. "Fighting the borrow checker" gives an extra challenge and keeps things fun when not

I disagree with the overall thesis here-- that somehow abstracting away all the randomness of minesweeper makes it less "mechanical." Oftentimes, 1 square's outcome is less likely or even much less likely then another. Even b

That's not how FDA approval works. It's actually easier for device approval when others entered the space first thanks to the "substantially equivalent" 510(k) process. Here's a link to Butterfly's premarket ap
