Legal writing is ideal training data: mostly formulaic, based on conventions and rules, well-formed and highly vetted, with much of the best in the public domain. Medical writing is the opposite, with unstated premises, semi-random associat

The improvement was clear and obvious in many aspects of society, but the question is whether the cost was worth it, and whether it's really a long-term solution, since it may exacerbate some aspects. Further, it left open the question

Quest Diagnostics, one of the biggest labs in the US, has a portal where you can order tests directly, including panels for wellness, allergies, etc. Descriptions are fairly general but accurate AFAICT. I've bought ~$1,000 worth over

Overall, a release more for engineering than language. Even the new API's are mainly optimizations, and optimizations are netting ~10% (pretty good for an mature toolset). The WASI preview shows Google is committing engineering resour

I'd nominate Java itself. In the decades Java sources have been available, any of the kazillion junior programmers could debug-step into java.* and see exactly what's happening -- progressive disclosure at its finest for building

I'm sad to see this, not b/c I like Google, but because domain names are otherwise a manipulative space, and Google was saving us from that. Domain service - name registry - is a weird market because it includes cross-subsidizing

As others have noted, AspectJ was/is used in Spring, so it had a long, useful life. IBM also used it to layer in closed-source enterprise features on their open-source web server, particularly for error-handling. AOP/AspectJ won

Documentation is controversial because (a) it's an ambiguous material (like wood), so anecdata go all ways (b) it's for the future, i.e., easy to cut in a time pinch (c) it presumes knowledge is shared, though it's often hoar

One suggestion is to build out your use-case instead of searching for a generic technology that can handle it. A general privacy-respecting health-oriented bucket of medical records is completely tangled in government regulations, organiza

This is made possible by Swift macros, which also will make migration easier. I can imagine starting out with SwiftData @Model's, but then redefining the @Model macro to work with another backend -- even deploying the same models to di

As mentioned, Swift has official distributions for Windows, ubuntu et al., and VSCode is the default solution. Most of the effort is driven by the server workgroup. Note Swift's interoperability story with C/C++ is also getting m

The underlying tech is amazing, as is the design. Augmented reality is a much harder problem than virtual reality. Have they defeated cybersickness? Possibly, in part due to only 12ms latency from outside camera to display. The neurologica

Graydon may lament the features that got away, but being a good loser may be the best way to encourage contributions and to respond to community needs. The historical forces on a language are both its constraints and its drivers. Languages

I can't upvote this enough: just take the sample code and build on it. I tired of evaluating and learning various wrappers and helpful virtualization applications. Being able to configure directly in a normal language is great, and it

This blog entry is a gentle and accurate rant/observation on git usability: it's still not working, so why do we put up with it? I would recommend the comment by edblarnes: > Git is a brilliant data model that we hack into bein

Medicare and most insurance strictly control this. But the industry benefits from a constrained supply of doctors because it means less competition; laws ultimately require doctors to be in charge of a practice. Some laws are now even rest

This article is based on reading (some) government reports, not on actual experience reports from medical schools, funding (which has increase), etc. Still, it's an important issue and set of data. It's not unreasonable given the

Apple has open-sourced the Swift syntax parser, and the compiler is migrating to a pure-swift frontend. The package manager is open-source. So there's plenty of opportunity for an open-source IDE -- built on swift. And the free Visu

This is a truth misunderstood. No static picture or dynamic model actually works for relationships. No "alignment" or polishing is guaranteed to work. What works is commitment: deciding to do what's necessary to make it work.

We have decades of partial answers as to how the brain affects the gut, but none are anywhere near complete. This finding, that some gluco-corticoid derivatives inhibit cell maturation, is new in its specifics but there was plenty of eviden
