Yes, they get visually more sphere-like as more faces are added. But spheres are obviously/trivially non-Rupert, while the question of whether a convex polyhedron can be non-Rupert is more interesting.
Re: Sendgrid killing their free tier - I used them for the contact form on my personal website, and after they ended the free tier I was able to move to Resend (who has a similar free tier) without too much work. Pretty happy with it so far.
What does that look like in a more intensive hospital setting? I've seen the shift to midlevels happening in primary care, but I'm not sure how that translates to inpatient settings - I'm vaguely aware that there are rules around when a PA/NP must consult an MD before making a decision, and I feel like they would encounter those situations way more for an inpatient.
I'll leave it to you and others who read this to evaluate the columnist's argument in the linked article vs. the UN commissioner's argument published last week in the same publication. https://archive.ph/FP2ek
See mort96's comments about 7-bit ASCII and parity bits (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45225911). Kind of archaic now, though - 8-bit bytes with the error checking living elsewhere in the stack seems to be preferred.
More so than tables per unit time, it's dollars per unit time. When I was a server, the usual metric of how well you performed on a given shift was the total of your bills ("how much you sold"). The best servers were good at encouraging parties to spend on the things they were on the fence about: the appetizer, the second drink, the dessert. Even with the volatility of individual tipping decisions, getting your tables to order more increases the EV of your total tips.
That's really cool. I was mostly envisioning hands-on admin stuff (because that's the work I'm most familiar with), but I hadn't thought about how much of a boon it would be to have someone with incident management experience arriving to help out. If you ever do a write-up about your experience, I'd love to read it.

I'm curious about how you got in the door here. Very cool, but isn't healthcare IT notoriously cagey about access? I've had to do PHI training and background checks before getting into the system at my (admittedly only 2) PHI-centered jobs.
Granted, if it was such an emergency, I could see them rushing you through a lite version of the HR onboarding process. Did you have a connection in the hospital through whom you offered your services?
"Artslop"? Care to elaborate on your usage here? I'm curious if your problem here is with the incursion of art into your preferred dinoslop, or if artslop is your catch-all for works that aren't in the high-concept genre film realm.
Just trying to keep my finger on the pulse of a neoword as it spends more time outside of containment.
Looks like I'm about to start learning which of my time-killing websites are hosted on GCP - The Ringer is down, and since Spotify owns them and is a major GCP customer, it looks like they've been hit by this. CRAZY that the GCP status page is still green.
It's worth nothing that it takes less money than you may expect to significantly shift a prediction market's trading price. This article, while its tone aged poorly with the relevant election results, covers the math behind this quite well.
I agree that it's not wrong, but I would certainly call it incomplete too. It's your choice which of those two points you want to emphasize, but calling the Standard Model "not wrong" with no mention of its incompatibility with General Relativity would feel disingenuous to me.
You're missing the point - a rapist would have a criminal arrest warrant, which would absolutely be the courthouse's responsibility to enforce. The ICE agents attempted to disrupt a criminal proceeding to enforce a civil immigration warrant not signed by a judge. More on that distinction here: https://www.fletc.gov/ice-administrative-removal-warrants-mp...
My small liberal arts college sent a lot of people to Epic (3-5 grads out of each year's class of ~550), including me - they are known for hiring lots of fresh grads with academic-STEM backgrounds who lack tech industry experience into their technical services and QA roles. I think the hiring dynamics for those non-developer technical roles are more favorable to Epic than those for full developers, and those people tend to make up more of a company's headcount overall.
I feel like this shows up in any news article about resale markups of trendy merch - the highest-price listing gets the headline, regardless of if it ever sells. I get that these soft-news articles are more about driving traffic to the site than quality reporting, but I'm still surprised (and annoyed!) that these easily disprovable eye-grabbers are omnipresent in this class of story.
I thought that most FOSS projects took multiple compiler implementations as a sign of a healthy language environment, without much prestige associated with being the "premier" compiler and instead having more of an it-takes-a-village attitude. Granted, I'm mostly extrapolating from Go and Python here - is it a sharper divide in the Rust community?
I find the road cycling arms race really fascinating too, especially for tech focused on measurement rather than performance. See the 2021 ban on diabetic-style glucose monitors during races [1], the recent restriction of carbon monoxide-based hemoglobin testing [2,3], and the possible upcoming ban on breath sensors during races [4].
