Clumsy cases absolutely destroy the elegance of these beautiful devices.

However the Samsung Galaxy A3 I use has proved to be very durable.

Among casual drops, it has sustained multiple drops to stone floors from considerable heights and being violently thrown across the room (not by me).

The aluminium casing has some small dents and the Corning Gorilla Glass 4 screen has a few small scratches. Otherwise it's still in excellent condition.

The city of Los Angeles had access to land and planning resources and they still arrived at optimal cost of $350,000 per barebones unit http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-ln-prop-hhh-qa...

As the linked article politely notes, those costs are likely to overrun once the construction starts "A Times analysis of projects funded by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee, which includes most permanent supportive housing projects, shows that recent projects have usually cost more, averaging about $420,000 per unit in 2016."

Even if land is semi-free or government-owned, the zoning has been taken care of and the architectural designs are obtained pro bono, it still costs money to get building materials, hire labor, provide parking spaces, develop infrastructure and build the residences on a code-compliant way.

And let's just say that $420,000 a head goes a long way in many non-coastal areas of the United States.
Public vs. Private vs. Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure
This is not a topic I have researched one iota. My post was simply sharing what these women shared with me about their experiences with their respective doctors.

However, it takes little effort to find contradictory information on the subject via google:

"Medical practitioners believe and research has recognized the increased levels of estrogen generated by the body preparing for pregnancy and preventative medicines like birth control have a correlation between the cause and effect of uterine fibroids."

"There are two major components known for stimulating the growth of fibroids; estrogen and progesterone. Birth control pills contain both of these elements causing the medical industry to take additional steps in studying the levels of estrogen and the potential rate of fibroid enlargement caused by a women’s use of prescribed birth control pills."

Considering the amount of revenue hormonal birth control generates for pharmaceutical companies, it would not surprise me in the least to discover behaviors resembling the tobacco industry's misinformation campaigns to protect those revenues.

Interesting curves.

Half the reduction occurred from 1912 to about 1922, the first decade of large-scale auto use. Bt 1940, it halved again. The next halving gets you to the eary 1970s.

The present rate looks to be about 1 death per 100 million vehicle miles travelled (VMT), or roughly 1/5 the rate in 1970.

My main takeaway is diminishing marginal returns, and a fairly consistent trend of halving the rate every 20 years or so, after the first decade.

Most likely because there is plenty of actual production code using modules written in Ocaml and modules are such a key part of modern idiomatic Ocaml no one seems to think that writing blog posts and exemples outside of teaching material is interesting. Ocaml users are generally more interested into writing software than promoting the language.

You will find plenty of exemples in the Ocaml manual (the whole chapter 2 is on the module system [1]) and beginner focused books however (chapter 4, 9 and 10 of Real World Ocaml [2]).

Functors (parametrized modules) are routinely used in production Ocaml code. Ocamlgraph [3] is a famous exemple (it's used by Frama-C and pff) because they wrote a paper on using functors to build generic library in 2007 [4] but they are literally everywhere : Janestreet Core, Facebook pff, Facebook infer, Frama-C.

Yes, there are. The only real difference between a mentally ill homeless person and a normal mentally ill person is the home. Why wouldn't a stable home be the answer?

A short-term stay in a mental hospital might be necessary while getting the patient adjusted to their medication. But once someone is stable, there is no need for such things. Even though the institutions have changed, they are still pretty horrible places to stay in, with all sorts of lifestyle restrictions that aren't generally needed.

A small apartment is appropriate for most folks once they are stable, along with access to someone to call. Some communities have social workers that visit once or twice a week and help with grocery shopping, bill paying, and general "how are you" sorts of things. Group homes are another option if someone chooses it: Private space with shared kitchen and whatnot, staffed with someone to help with cooking and cleaning. My ex, diagnosed with schizophrenia, would have been a candidate for such a thing. I was his primary caregiver, fair or not, and his doctor didn't want him living alone for his own protection.

Give support for family members as well - this is something seriously lacking in the US system. He had help, I didn't.

A small amount of folks might need some help for substance abuse, but many short-term mental health facilities are equipped to do this. A fair amount of folks would be helped by police that are capable of helping mentally ill folks with training and a marker on their ID so the cops know what to change in their approach.

I think there's ~50-200 software developers up here between freelancers and businesses? Of that maybe half of them are fulltime.

I know of a couple webshops that are mostly WordPress/Drupal-based, mostly running Mac+Linux.

I think Make IT is the most serious custom software vendor, they ship some Scala but I believe are mostly Windows-based. http://www.makeit.com/

FWIW NWTel is also Windows-based, but I'd wager that per capita the Yukon has more Linux users due to the more rugged/self-sufficient/off-grid appeal.

YuKonstruct also opened a co-working office on Strickland called (co)space, they offer desks and a few private offices, though those might be filled.

I just got a small office down the street from them for $300/month, but I think most small office spaces go for $400-500.

'Every car you've ever bought has been used by the time you take it home. Ours just happen to have been used by someone else. Wanna buy one?'
I appreciate your view here, and to some extent you have valid points – but you're also way off the mark in several ways that don't really do anybody any favours. Ultimately I think that precision is really required here.

I'll use the React example, because I'm currently elbow-deep in it.

JSX is explicitly not 'HTML in JS' or 'JS in HTML' or anything else like that. It doesn't (or at least, shouldn't) run in the browser. It's only a sugary syntax for making it easier to write JS code that outputs HTML, and it exists because writing imperative code that outputs deeply nested trees is kind of annoying to write. Even better, everything is properly sanitised at the correct level; there's essentially no way to use unescaped data without explicitly trying to do so. That's a pretty great state of affairs.

I'm not going to be a cheerleader for all this stuff, because you're right that the correct tool should be used for the correct job. But frankly if you don't see the benefits of stability, modularity, and even security of using something like React versus patching together your own framework using `getElementsByClassName` then I think you're missing something.
The last 20 years have taught us to be super vigilant, but that is because the bad guys were (are) always at our heels (if not occasionally pulling ahead), but surely the gold standard for security is that which is just there and works, but which you never have to see or think about.

Of course, actions should only be taken when actually asked for, but a banking app that will show you (and only you) your balance without a separate authentication step seems like a great thing. It can also add security to other apps that might perhaps be slightly under-protected due to the current hurdle of clearing auth: perhaps your messaging apps will only show the content of messages when it's you looking?

It's also factually wrong.

> Now, our body (the female's body) does not have interrupts.

We do have "interrupts". The brain floods the blood vessels with all kinds of hormones for an immediate call to action all the time. It's called the fear response. We'd be completely screwed if we had to rely on a "while loop" for that: getting run over while crossing the street would be the norm, because we'd lack the impulse to draw our attention away from our thoughts.

In theory, females could spontaneously ovulate when they have sex. Heck, in theory the brain could have evolved to decide whether or not it wants to. Nothing in Suzanne Sadedin's explanation gets in the way of this either. That would be an interesting shift in power balance - it's like the pill, but without hormonal hacks or dependency on external support.

This may be the best example of mansplaining I have ever seen: a tech guy posts a completely unsourced hypothesis as fact, but if you're a nerd with déformation professionnelle, it has a compelling narrative[0].

> most gmail users never see messages from my personal email address, because google routes them to spam despite my IP never having spammed

This is off topic but very briefly: implement SPF and DKIM and get a number of Gmail users (I'm not sure what this number is, but it is order of magnitude 10) to mark your emails as "Not Spam". Eventually Gmail will come to accept emails from your self-hosted server.
Afaik, there were big discussions about slavery and racism all the time concepts existed. The discussion about some past actors being more racist then others or even actively pushing for slavery while others were not should not be taboo.

It is relevant that someone writing about freedom conveniently did not counted whole groups as deserving that freedom in the first place.

It is much easier to be for free speech for example, when the group of people most likely to oppose you dont count.

Edit: by this logic, you cant critize Robespierre. Or Lenin/Stalin, because they were product of time and built an imperium anyway.

It is also relevant that nice sounding definition of freedom was used to defend the slavery or that the rational science at the time was actually exercise in motivated reasoning convenient to speaker (whether practically or just made him feel good and superior) - but not really result of fair unbiased cold look at world.

Thank you for saying this. Our support structures are an embarassment. The hoops they make the homeless jump through for basic Medicaid are a crime as well. So of course no savings!

FAT is only patented if you want long filenames. If 8~3 filenames are long enough (and for EFI boot they are) then you can use FAT32 with short names.

Additionally the specific EFI FAT32 implementation grants various patent rights which means you can implement EFI FAT32 (atleast, last time I checked by the situation)

The other restrictions of the FS barely matter since 99.9% of the time it's used as /boot it will be read from and has barely any activity. The data integrity can be insured by setting up secureboot (MS or User/Setup mode)

After reading through (most of) the comments here, I am genuinely curious what we can do as individuals to help. It is pretty clear that the gov isn't too keen on helping (don't want to get into politics - just one look at the budget cuts is enough to prove this point).

So is there anything we can do? Protesting, running for public office etc makes the most sense but I am not built for it. What is the second best thing that an individual with a few dollars and few hours a week to spare do to help?
AMP is designed by Google, and implemented almost exclusively by Google. It is also used in the most popular search engine in a way that makes AMP feel like it's fast.

Meanwhile:

- it's not fast without Google's overpowered cache/CDN (that no one has a chance to replicate)

- it's not even valid HTML

- it's entire design and development is governed exclusively by Google, with no external input, and all external input is discarded and discouraged. See top comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16455593

The fact that it lives on GitHub doesn't make it open.
Even Wikipedia describes placentation like a siege:

> The trophoblast, which is a collection of cells that invades the maternal endometrium to gain access to nutrition for the fetus, proliferates rapidly and forms a network of branching processes which cover the entire embryo and invade and destroy the maternal tissues. With this physiologic destructive process, the maternal blood vessels of the endometrium are opened, with the result that the spaces in the trophoblastic network are filled with maternal blood; these spaces communicate freely with one another and become greatly distended and form the intervillous space from which the fetus gains nutrition.

Hi pot!
You mean all those micro kernels that are in widespread use and see huge market shares?

The closest relative is NT and that is a hybrid, not purely micro. Modular and hybrid kernels (Linux and NT respectively) offer better external vs internal complexity tradeoffs; Linux and NT are internally complex since they do all the hard stuff, micorkernels are externally complex since someone else needs to do the hard work.

Microkernels will shove this exact complexity elsewhere not make it go away.

Linus spent a lot of energy and Management by Perkele to make sure stuff worked and kept stable under ACPI. People would submit patches that fixed some things and broke others, and Linus put a stop to this
