I think you’re the first person in this comment section to mention this. Git has a structure for machine-readable structured data. Put it there, not in free text fields for humans.

Every SSRed app these days…

Trivially substitutable goods, at a much lower price, with a now-reduced ethical difference. Not hard to see why.

Annoyingly, npm audit relies on github's advisory DB, which is currently incorrectly flagging all versions of these packages, not just the compromised ones.

Reminds me of Chariot from back in the day. That was nice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chariot_(company)

restore and maybe switch are the two missing ones I think. Rebase for me, but that’s preference. Cherry-pick too.

There’s also a strong culture of ownership of quality for individual developers. Design documents are expected for even minor changes, and each change goes through at least 2 rounds of well-documented testing by 2 other developers on your team. Compared to other companies where automated testing is the norm, it’s startling how few bugs they manage to ship.

Another thing I thought was interesting given modern dev practices is that you don’t even touch production code until after about 6 months of training, including exams and testing on the actual functionality of the product, even bits you’ll never interact with personally. They’re serious about making sure you know what you’re doing before you get within a mile of something that could affect patients.

They also have a pretty strong accountability culture. I shipped two fairly embarrassing bugs my first year and had a very serious conversation with my manager about whether I should continue to be employed since I’d used up about 50% of our team’s allowed bugs for the year. But on the other side, once I got my feet under me, they were very good about recognizing improvement.

Ha, we were pushing complexity metrics back in 2012. The Security team added it as a PQA step in 2013 when I was there, no idea if that stuck around.

The state of MUMPS has progressed a lot since this article was written, to the point where most MUMPS developers would probably only vaguely recognize this. Even the "MUMPS" they were using back in 2014 or so was really a higher-level dialect + higher-level framework (Chronicles) that was transpiled down to actual MUMPS. It was more like writing ES2015 + JSX or whatever and then actually executing ES3 + DOM operations.

Source: was on a team that was performance sensitive enough that I spent a lot of time in the actual transpiled MUMPS code that did look more like this article.

And yet, per the spec, new syntax features are allowed to break ASI:

> As new syntactic features are added to ECMAScript, additional grammar productions could be added that cause lines relying on automatic semicolon insertion preceding them to change grammar productions when parsed.

So really, the rules are “there are currently 2 exceptions and an infinite number allowed to be added at any time”. To me, that’s worth letting prettier auto-insert semicolons when I hit save.

It's sunny for a lot of the year. Ex. you can get an extra harvest of alfalfa per year compared to other climates.

Shortening the regular season is the answer. Too many games, too many teams in the playoffs, means that no game has any impact vs an NFL game.

Re: longevity, ITP didn't find any significant impact from metformin. Afaik they're the most rigorous testers of this sort of thing, so that's pretty significant to me.

What qualifies as an extreme sport? Does skiing count? Football? Soccer?

Does moderate alcohol factor in? Being obese? What’s your line where a personal choice that has some risk disqualifies you?

I’m really excited for the possibilities liquid biopsies like this introduce. I look forward to when I can get these in an annual physical without having to pay out of pocket and/or jump through a bunch of hoops

Tbh I really don't like this.

Git already has an established format for machine-readable metadata, trailers. There's even a built-in command for working with them, git interpret-trailers. This pulls data-for-computers into an area that should be data-for-humans.

They're running discounts lately, my dr's office had $200 off for anyone that wanted it and they have regular sales every couple of months it seems.

I spent an honestly embarrassing amount of time at the first show I went to trying to figure out how they'd managed it.

It is! I got one for $750-ish about a month ago.

Please. It's insane that people are dying from fentanyl overdoses taking molly, absolutely not the right societal trade off to be making any more.

They've been doing that for months. Scummy behavior tbh. It happened right after the hack, but there's also a new crop of competitors that let you upload your raw 23andMe data, so there's speculation that it's trying to stop the outflow.

If you email them about it, you just basically get a copy-pasta reply restating the message on the site, and if you keep emailing them 3+ times asking for a refund (ask me how I know), they'll tell you you can manually upload identity verification and they'll get back to you in 6-8 weeks with the data.

And where the workaround is "have the humans not forget to do something" no less...

This looks like it’s moving closer to React Hooks, but using the compile step to optimize them out? Kinda like a better React Forget?

Wow, that’s a blast from the past. Those code examples look exactly like the var to let changes in ES2015…

Sports subreddits are a notable exception imo. While they might get a bit silly, r/cfb, r/nba, etc. are so much better than Twitter or any other public forum that losing them would be pretty awful.

It helps that the Colorado Republican party is about as ineffective of a political group as I've ever seen. If they were even moderately competent Boebert's district, Colorado Springs, and to a lesser extent the new district (Caraveo's) would be much redder than they voted the past cycle.

Reminds me a bit of the Rocky Flats fire & contamination https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_contamination_from...

This is all Aaron Rodgers’s fault, where am I supposed to see updates on the gossip about him now???

Ugh. ESLint-plugin-import, I should have known. Not at all surprising that a perf fix wouldn’t be prioritized there unfortunately.

Gotta be this. Spent hours and hours on Folding when Bitcoin was just getting started, if I’d spent a single day mining I’d be retired now. Doubt I’ll see an opportunity like that again in my lifetime.
