Nor should it strive to be a market. Healthy markets can only exist where demand is elastic. If the choice is between dying to kidney failure or enduring life-crushing medical debt, you bet I'm going to do anything it takes to get that transplant. And therein lies the problem: You *cannot* have healthy markets in healthcare. Period. Demand for healthcare is fully inelastic. Anyone arguing the opposite is either profiting off the status quo or woefully ignorant of economics.
I think this is actually an opposite problem. For kidney failure in particular, you can check the insane amount USG spends on end stage care. The demand for healthcare at the limit exceeds any reasonable supply. Healthcare spending across counties goes up pretty much with disposable income. There are massively expensive interventions that could give someone close to death few extra months.
Healthcare has to be rationed. Rationing by market is the least bad kind of we learn anything from history... Too bad healthcare in the US is not a market in any way or form, and in fact the most expensive least DALY efficient interventions (Medicare) are subsidized at the expense of everything else.
In a society that values McDonald's staying cheap and Coca-Cola superbowl ads, maybe this is true, but it's not a universal rule at all. On the other end of the spectrum from kidney transplants are regular checkups and ability to walk into any doctor's office to get your flu/cold checked out. Rationing healthcare at these stages is only going to make it worse as people wait until they need an emergency room visit to get care.
One would hope that Microsoft will eventually revoke kernel access to these companies (see, Crowdstrike incident) eventually forcing game developers to support Linux for many popular online service games and actually stop being so lazy with anticheat. Somehow a smaller studio like Embark managed to make Arc Raiders compatible with Linux. I have 95 hours into the game and have not encountered 1 cheater. Yet a mega corp like EA can't possibly afford to support BF6 on Linux because of kernel anticheat. I put only 10 hours into bf6 and got killed by aimbots three times.
I had to use Perl in a recent project to perform health checks on a container. The container authors decided not to provide /dev/tcp or curl, and I didn't want to add the extra headache of maintaining an upstream fork with curl, but they did include Perl. So I (claude) wrote a one liner script that imported the networking lib and performed the check instead.
(Side note, I know "slim" containers are all the rage these days but please please please please just put curl in your unix containers or provide a script that lets me check the container health. I don't want to spend more than 5 minutes setting this up or I'll just look for something else)
Not a cloudflare employee but I do write a lot of Rust. The amount of things that can go wrong with any code that needs to make a network call is staggeringly high. unwrap() is normal during development phase but there are a number of times I leave an expect() for production because sometimes there's no way to move forward.
Yeah it seems likely that even if there wasn't an unwrap, there would have been some error handling that wouldn't have panicked the process, but would have still left it inoperable if every request was instead going through an error path.
I'm in a similar boat, at the very leas an expect can give hits to what happened. However this can also be problematic if your a library developer. Sometimes rust is expected to never panic especially in situations like WASM. This is a major problem for companies like Amazon Prime Video since they run in a WASM context for their TV APP. Any panic crashes everything. Personally I usually just either create a custom error type (preferred) or erase it away with Dyn Box Error (no other option). Random unwraps and expects haunt my dreams.
At risk of sounding harsh, that’s a huge failure in your modeling of invariants that should not be permitted in development.
Permitting it in development is why one ends up in the position of having to use an `expect()` in production code, because your API surfaces are wrong and can’t model your actual invariants.
My company uses a MSFT for domains, email, office work etc. but hands all the employees (not just engineers, HR as well) Macs. I don't know what kind of places you're working for but I'm not really interested in spending more time debugging your mattermost instance or email server instead of working on the core product I was hired to work on. I agree microsoft software is a plague but good luck convincing the people with the money to use something else lol
Perhaps the great filter is if a species is capable of creating an AI intelligent enough to make them multi-planetary. Maybe the great filter is the AI gaining sentience and having the AI explorers stars while the stupid monkeys get stuck on their precious rock that they won’t take care of.
