Well there used to be an island where the majority of folks involved in these kind of deals went to, but the owner landed in some legal trouble and decided to hang somewhere else instead

Why is that? I would think so e compute being included kind of makes inherently more expensive

Honestly if I had one wish is that government would be banned for saying any rental agreement was an investment.

It’s so frustrating, and brings me hope to see it change, that RnD and infrastructure investment funds got put into software rental agreement for windows and VMware and more recently into proprietary Cloud ecosystems.

Like you own nothing from that. That money is gone from the public good. It’s not an investment. I didn’t invest in an apartment, I rented, I don’t have any value left from that agreement I had my wants and needs temporally satisfied.

That is just the constant issue these people put in the public trust are learning but have to held to task to.

Its perfectly adequate generating simple scripts if you know what it’s doing or complex programs IF.you have a “harness” which is to say tones of well defined scopes, design docs, coding guidelines, and a dev and test environment with written and automatic unit and integration tests.

Basically every devs wish lists. You get adequate complex coding results.

Pair programing with a mentor shouldn’t be a day to day thing. Like why waste the time and put so much pressure on the trainee like that anyways?

Vim unless I can neovim.

Being able to change configs on headless systems was my gateway, now I just prefer it

I’m very biased towards thinking we need better systems thinking. Treat each patient like a the ecosystem we are, you know?

Mostly out of frustration on how as a sysadmin and a gardener I seemed to take more time to consider how various systems and components interacted with each other we making changes or addressing problems then most my life time of medical experiences. Those have been largely problem-fix type thinking, where you try to as fast as possible bandaid a problem and move it to “solved” as fast as possible.

To give you an example what that would look like to me (and my biases). Patient Bob comes in saying his ear hurts. You process him in, check his vitals, run some basic diags related to his ear canals, sinuses, etc. Cross reference his past health data. Cross reference public health data related to where he is and has been. If additional tests to help narrorow it down, get those done. Start a treatment plan.

That is unchanged largely. This is where the difference happens. His case is now on the backlog to follow up on. If this is an chronic condition then the doctor should follow up with specialists and work on a long term care plan and hospital reach back out to them when they need more information or have some more information on the long term plan.

This is true for ANY chronic condition or worrying diag result, until they are resolved.

If this comes down to “known issue, no solution” problem then a team that interfaces with Universities, pharmasuticals, medical equipment manufacturers, etc should be signaling to them they need to start researching/making something etc

Oh what’s the name of that conference? That would be very cool to listen for insights from for sure!

Huh cool. So Declaritive programming like kube manifests but for a given interpreter or meta-programmer instead of the k8s API or operator?

I mean yeah. This was the very reason to dump a ton into “the metaverse” in order to maximize possible data collection

It’s crazy because ethenol COULD be just a byproduct from food production. Talking to farmers about a decade ago that what they were aiming for. Basically a step before just tilling it or burning it back into the field if it was misshappen (consumers don’t buy ugly veggies) or worse infested/rotting.

The subsidy structure messed that up apparently. The subsidized crop insurance made it not worth it, plus the ethanol subsidies required dedicated fields.

I 100% would rather see solar over dedicated ethanol fields and all of the water usage and pollution they represent.

I use Fennec (Firefox for mobile) on Android so I can use adblock and sponsor block there. That is a good point tbh

This is going to sound harsh maybe, but how do we break that? That kind of sounds like our current systems favor investment into advertisment over substance

There are cases of but also on going programs.
