TL;DR Shingles vaccines reduces chances of dementia by 20%. Yet, most countries health systems only look at the upfront cost of ~$300 and don’t recommend for all who could benefit.

This is common practice in much of developed world. Long ago, they used to have re-usable glass syringes that could be sterilized. Unfortunately, people switched to disposable syringes. The unit costs are...high in the US, unreasonable in developing countries.

It's not just this hospital, it's widespread ([1] report 38%)

Fortunately, there are competing LSPs of reasonable quality now. I'm using pyrefly. Not sure if ty/ruff have one too.

Indeed Apple Music Classical or Idagio. Spotify has never cared for classical, because the market is too small for them to bother.

I use git town. Fits my brain a lot better.

I had a look at some of FileVine's output, and I can say I'm not surprised. This is not an organization that prizes engineering at all.

A blast from the past! Pyscripter was definitely a top contender back in Python 2.3 days. Not sure when I stopped using it and why. Seems to be actively maintained. Will have to try again.

This is a nice system. I wonder if modshim can be used to or extended to do hot reload.

Yes, but businesses operate on cash, not tax credits.

Why do you want to switch?

Interesting. I've been missing `svn changelist` feature in Git. GitButler calls it virtual branches. Indispensable feature. Going to try it out.

This seems to be similar to a microwave circulator. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulator

Most semiconductor EDA software cost > $10k per seat, sometimes > $100k per seat.

This seems like the story in "The Phoenix Project". If the outsourced software is critical to your operations, it seems it should be brought in-house. Software design is best done when the feedback loop is very tight. It never is with outsourced software.

As for how to go about building a team, you are better placed than I am to figure it out. Probably start with a small team with the most critical bits and build from there.

Suggest getting a sell-side agent. They do that everyday and know the nuances. I know Einar as another poster suggested.

ethicalads.io seems totally fine to me. I think there was another one similar to it. Those are unblocked for me.

Here's the advice I've gotten:

1. Hire a VA for mundane stuff.

2. Hire a coach to fill in your blind spots.

3. Hire the most senior people you can.

Likely, 28000 is mostly investigation costs, not the actual cost of gas.

Isn't this just renaming Shipt as Target Circle 360?

What they need to use popcorn or puffed rice [1]

Does this mean we can now expect stellar SW radio reception around the world?

But most auth implementations don’t bother checking it.

For shorter people, the some height adjustable desks are the only ones that are low enough for good ergonomics. Standard desks in the US are too tall for a large portion of the population.

I doubt they're paying retail prices like the tweet implies. Still can't be a small number if that is true.

I've seen about $5k in the past. But I haven't worked at a large company for a while.

Not any more than other patent applicants. Currently all the layers in patent application process is incentivized to ignore quality.

1. Large companies pay a bonus for every patent applied and bigger one for approval.

2. Patent lawyers are paid for filed patents.

3. Patent office makes money on each patent. They view the review process as a cost center and optimize it for fast approval.

Is OneDrive end-to-end encrypted? I think Microsoft will introduce a similar feature soon, if they haven’t already.

git is great at merging and handling merge conflicts. How do you deal with files that can’t be merged? Like game assets, CAD files, etc? git-lfs can work a bit, but it still doesn’t fill every need.

How do work with massive repositories without a full local copy? git doesn’t do it.

How do you control access to sensitive IP?

Why yes:

1) Cost. Companies big and small in the US hire overseas to reduce development costs.

2) Access to talent. In a tight market, getting the right people in the US is often too hard.

Why not:

1) difference in work culture. There's often a big gap in expectations from the businesses perspective.

2) differences in communication style: Even when the expectations are aligned, different communication styles (e.g., candid vs coded) can lead to frustrations.

3) lack of infrastructure. I passed on some highly recommended people because when we got a video call, their internet connection was not good enough for us to have a conversation.
