Reading the paper, AI did a lot better than I would expect. It showed experienced devs working on a familiar code base got 19% slower.
It's telling that they thought they had been more productive, but the result was not that bad tbh.
I wish we had similar research for experienced devs on unfamiliar code bases, or for inexperienced devs, but those would probably be much harder to measure.
Wife has been binging Law and Order SVU recently and I noticed there's a lot of episodes where they have abused children turn into abusive adults, with the explanation that it's a natural response of the brain trying to get in a position where it will never be vulnerable again.
No idea if that theory has any merit, but if true I wonder if that can also happen in a larger scale, to an entire society instead of just to an individual.
If I'm at home and simply unwell, I can walk to the neighborhood clinic (one specific clinic based on my address) and get checked - that usually takes half an hour to a couple hours, but it may not always have a doctor available.
So most people skip the local clinic completely and go to a municipal hospital instead (something doctors often plead people not to do). These should always have a couple doctors available and they'll see anybody - even if you have no documents. When you get there a nurse will check your pulse and stuff and ask some questions to determine your priority level, then the waiting time can go up to 4 hours if it's low priority.
If you need specific exams, that will depend on how well equipped the hospital is. Many will do it right there, some will request it from other cities and that may take time, so there's the option of doing it in private clinics too.
No matter what you may end up needing, if you do it through the public health system you won't need to pay anything at all. Even experimental treatments and surgeries can get arranged. But there's always the option of going to private clinics as well. Those can have much shorter waiting times.
Based on my limited experience, this is what people seem to do for each kind of visit:
Emergencies: pretty much everybody go to public hospitals. Most places don't even have private options for this.
Basic check up: most people will use the public system first, unless it's something very specific and they are well financially.
Dental care: most people who won't be financially crippled by it will go private. People tend to stick with the same dentist once they find a good one. On the public system you never know who you might be seeing.
Eye doctor: 50/50. There are nearly as many private options for this as there are for dental care, but a lot of them suck.
Expensive exams and operations: people will try to get them for free at first, or through some Health insurance plan they may have from work. Everybody knows someone who's been waiting months for something on the public system.
It's a completely different launcher, I just like the way they list the apps that are not in your home screen (very similar to windows phone). I still prefer smart launcher for its categories but sometimes for the apps I rarely use I liked Niagara's list.
I kinda agree with you to some extent. At the time my general reaction was something like: "everything it does, it does wonderfully. But I wish it did more".
When TotK came out, my first impression was "I guess I'm never playing BotW again". Mostly because they kind of overlap with each other in many aspects.
But I still thought BotW was a great game, before TotK existed.
I had a problem with all the math questions where someone would have 6 apples and share them with 2 friends and the teacher expected that to mean 2 people with 3 apples each instead of 3 people with 2 apples each.
The same folks who made Bazzite also have Aurora and Bluefin. Those are general purpose distros with the same ideas as Bazzite, just less gaming stuff bundled in. The difference between the two is just the desktop environment (gnome for bluefin, kde for aurora).
But even though Bazzite is focused on gaming, it is still a pretty good distro for general use too. The same stuff that enables windows games to run on it also help run any windows program just as well, so it might be a good pick if you use any software that only runs on windows.
June and July deserve to share the same U too. In some languages it's only the N/L that changes between them.
