Our medical costs are so out of control it's not funny. Many years ago (i.e. last century) you'd go to the doctor and either they'd treat you on the spot or possibly prescribe something for most common ailments. And if that didn't work, you'd go back and then they'd run some tests and/or send you to a specialist. Today you go to your doctor, who most likely refers you to a specialist, who orders tests from a lab (of course each step racks up costs)... then maybe you get your prescription. Didn't work? Rinse and repeat with a more specialized specialist. Part of it is CYA to protect from liability, part of it is just the health care industry growing out of control.

Because breaches come from public vulnerabilities, unless you can prove there was no breach, you should treat it as a breach. This is common information security practice.

Google are unable to prove there was no breach because they didn't keep sufficient logs, which is also not acceptable in modern security practice.

It is not just for io. If a system is better modelled with a set of indipendent execution flows exchaging messages (a simulation for example), then coroutines are perfect. Games often use coroutines to model game entities: it is not a coincidence that lua has excellent coroutine support.

Sorry, I've lost the thread of the argument.

The original claim was that "NATO has probably done just as much to insure peace inside it's countries as the EU has.". The counterpoint was that the Balkan wars invalidated this claim. My response was that a single war in 70 years is hardly evidence against the original claim.

What's your line of argument here?
Quite the opposite, actually. Governmental regulations kill innovations.

The first time I've got my hands on a Z80 clone it was like "my precious". For example AY-3-8500 was not unheard of but was unobtainium in every respect.

If you're considering clones in East Europe, I think the real reason was economic. It was useless to have a complex circuit when the devices were not available. For this reason, most early clones of Sinclair Spectrum used only 7400 series circuits around Z80.

The fertility and associated problems of local population can be completely ignored by the government of country like US - country with low population density, predictable steady population growth, and always a large group of people around the world willing to immigrate into the country.

That is absolutely not true. I am a citizen of the Czech Republic and if I stop being insured, e.g. because of changing my place of permanent residence, I'm not entitled to anything.
Do you have a source? I did a quick google for the Netherlands, but couldn't find any information about the real costs (without insurance).

> 7. Prompt if you can

Please don't. There is nothing wrong with interactive tools, but by default, they should not be. So instead of making non-interactive session possible via flags, the default should be to be non-interactive. If there is an option to start an interactive session, everything is fine.

Otherwise, you would never know when your script could run into some kind of interactive session (and therefore break; possibly after an update).
Can you elaborate? In Germany at least this is not true at all.
Visualization of Challans Issued by Pune Traffic Police in September 2018
It's free in The Netherlands. Well, not technically free but it's covered by the universal healthcare so it won't cost you a dime. (FYI the basic healthcare plans all cover the same regardless of insurance company. It covers nearly everything that you could go bankrupt on. There are extra packages that cover additional care like physical therapy or dentist costs. A basic plan is around EUR 90,- per month with a deductible of EUR 385,- per annum, but there's no deductible for MD visits and, yes, childbirth/neonatal care).
Yes, and in this case it can't be blamed on healthcare costs and mostly not on student loans - it's mostly housing that's the problem, and relatedly costs of transport (because to some extent you can trade one against the other).

For pensioners the top complaint is usually energy bills, but I don't think it's a good idea to make energy too cheap lest people use more of it.

I think personally that the main problems in the developed world were globalisation + large scale automation, it completely destroyed the power the average worker had, and power directly means money.

Inflation is only low because better technology and bigger markets are now available which automatically makes everything cheaper to make, but even that isn't enough to compensate the loss of power of the middle class.
If thats your thing, thats fine, but so often it means that the 'gamery' aesthetic is the only option if you want high end hardware.

Im a professional software engineer, that likes to game, but doesn't wish to outwardly identify with it, I like interior design, and I like nice clean hardware that fits in with my flat.

This excludes me from having the top end Acer Predator Monitor, because its made to look like a throbbing red quantum spaceship component, which it isnt, its just a damn display, and it would look ridiculous.

If you want a laptop with decent GPU hardware, most of the options have all these edges, and lights, dressed up to look like some kind of weapon or something. If I need to bring my laptop to a meeting, I can't have that and and be taken seriously.

It just feels childish, and its hard to believe that the number of people like me isn't enough for the manufacturers to support that.

The biggest trick that the FED has pulled is that it convinced the world that inflation is at 2% yoy. What a disgraceful joke!

Had they been real about the inflation, the interest rates on savings would've been higher. Sure, it would crash the stock market but the stock market only benefits the rich disproportionately. Not teachers, admins, nurses etc.

Oh btw, has anyone noticed that 20% of the 20 trillion dollar US GDP is healthcare? That's 4 trillions spent on healthcare every year!!
> Haskell has shown that you can have erased generics and have reified generics opt-in (i.e. Typeable and Generic). Works perfectly.

Haskell has little to no RTTI, which makes erased generic a non-issue. Java/C#/Dart have a lot of RTTI, which makes erased generics problematic.

Without RTTI/reflection capabilities, generics reification become a performance tradeoff, with it they become a logic/correctness issue.
Of course they ran after possible array problems post-spectre, but nevertheless it still allows precise timings on anything cache related. it's still highly insecure and needs to be turned off in production. and this is where it makes sense to use.

I know someone who works in a warehouse. She's done that for a while, she's good at her job, and management wants to promote her but can't -- because she doesn't have a degree. They told her as much: if she gets a degree, they'll promote her, but without one they can't, because HR says managers need degrees.

I have a degree, but it isn't a degree from a good college in a useful field, which it seems you need nowadays to get a job better than warehouse manager. I didn't know this, and neither did my parents; they just figured that you need the piece of paper, and that's it. But people with a higher-class background did know that.

And for those people... well, class mobility isn't in their interests, now is it?

(It's worth remembering that colleges themselves switched from academic performance to "holistic admissions"... to ensure that they remained a preserve for the hereditary upper class.)
> If a woman asks for her husband, having forgotten that he is dead, should you tell her the truth and cause her terrible grief, knowing that this fresh bereavement will likely repeat itself, over and over, day after day?

I learned that the hard way. My father forgot his father was dead, and asked to go see him. I said he'd died long ago. His face filled with grief. It was awful.

I never did that again. I'd just say his father was away on a trip or something.
I can reformat minified JS, then pause at a function, see it arguments, understand it purpose, rename variables, add a comment, and so on.

Can I do all that in Wasm?

For practical purposes of reverse engineering, minified JS is far better than Wasm. Wasm is the new Flash.
You can check out some of the East German 8-bit computers and games for them on my tiny emulator page https://floooh.github.io/tiny8bit/:

- KC85/2 to /4 these were 'original' designs, even though some ideas (like the pixel/color attribute RAMs) were inspired by the ZX Spectrum. A slower Z80 CPU (1.75 MHz) but higher pixel and color resolution (e.g. a 320x256 display, compared to the Spectrum's 256x192)

- Z1013 was a most minimalistic Z80 home computer sold as a assemble-yourself-kit (the only East German computer that was really available and affordable for 'normal people')

- the Z9001 (aka KC85/1, aka KC87) was somewhere inbetween the Z1013 and KC85/2 models

- the KC Compact was an East German Amstrad CPC clone, but without custom chip (the custom gate array was 'emulated' with standard chips)

The Soviet Union built a very interesting PDP-11 compatible 16 bit home computer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronika_BK), and impressive demos are still written for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_pdp1QSp70.

There were also surprising number of ZX Spectrum clones built in Eastern Europe because they didn't require custom chips, some of those designs also improved on the original Spectrum design (for instance a higher color resolution)

Bulgaria built an Apple II clone (and also built their own MOS 6502 and Motorola 6800 clone chips): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravetz_computers

...and there's probably at least a dozen more computer models I have never heard of :)
If a woman asks for her husband, having forgotten that he is dead, should you tell her the truth and cause her terrible grief, knowing that this fresh bereavement will likely repeat itself, over and over, day after day? Or should you just tell her that he is at the office? And is direct lying different from various forms of passive lying—encouraging delusions, or allowing existing delusions to persist? What is more important—dignity or happiness?

This is not a dignity or happiness question, this is an agency question: who is charge of this person's life? It gets directly to the definition of consciousness (but not sentience, which is a different animal entirely). My working definition of consciousness is the ability to receive stimulus in such a way that your internal mental model is changed.

If you cannot understand your husband has died in such a way that prevents you from keeping that thought in your head tomorrow and continuing with your grief, you are not conscious in the same way the rest of us are. You certainly may be able to speak and move around, but you are not fully awake. You may never be.

In this case, and this case only, you have lost agency. That is, others must make decisions for you based on their ability to receive new data and adjust their mental models. That's not the nursing home's job. That's probably a close family member, somebody you trust with your life.

It's an evil thing when other people take away your agency. The elevator button appears to make the elevator speed up, but it doesn't. The doctor uses meds as chemical restraints because that's easier for the staff. The emergency responder tells you that you're doing fine when in fact he knows you only have minutes to live. It's evil. There's no getting around it. Somebody is purposefully taking away your ability to make choices by creating a fake universe for you to live in so that their life is better. (Same goes for online forums that give you voting buttons that do nothing, or ghost you, but I digress)

But it's not an evil thing when you do it to yourself, when you select somebody to create a wistful fantasy for you to live in for your final days. It's probably the most humane thing we have going for these folks.
The reason ~/.config/app is superior, is that then you can e.g. backup all your configs, or remove your cache, or store ~/.local and ~/.cache on a local fs and the rest of ~ on NFS.

Do you have to use ~/.config/app/ or could you just use ~/.config/app.conf?

Most insurance plans that allow access to providers in a broad network without a referral (these are often dubbed "PPO" or "high deductible" plans) have an annual out of pocket maximum that the insured will be required to pay before the insurance covers all remaining expenses. E.g., the maximum for "family" coverage on my plan is $5400.

It's commonly said that having a baby will result in costs that exceed your out of pocket max, so you can think of the out of pocket max as the real cost to a family on one of these for the medical services from prenatal care through the birth. Caveat: Your accumulation towards this maximum will typically reset to 0 at the beginning of the calendar year, so try to finish your pregnancy before 12/31.

I don't believe it either, or they are counting the wrong things.
Then Czech Republic must be an exception in the EU - pretty much every other country that I lived in worked on the simple principle of "you are a citizen/resident = you are entitled to care". Even if you didn't make any payments ever(due to lack of a job, or being homeless or disabled for example) you would still be 100% covered.
Mistakes happen all the time with drones yet no one has died. RC helicopters? They have definitely killed people, but no one is concerned about those...

The FAA is interested because the MSM news published so many salacious articles about how big bad and scary drones were and those stories got clicks.

Drones were/are new and budding technology and they can be somewhat autonomous which scares the public. People’s lack of understanding about the programming and the sensors used coupled with the addition of a camera made this yet another very a un-newsworthy clickbait scandal.

I used to build program and fly high powered drones but the media made the political environment nearly intolerable. Between the public’s reaction and the politician’s growing interest, I stopped building and flying.

As a sidenote, when I was a kid I flew “large” 5’ rockets. They used slow burn explosives to produce fire. Now there is the potential for some real damage. No one cared

Does healthcare insurance pay for that in the US ? In the EU, this is considered a personal life-choice procedure and very rarely handled by insurances - like cosmetic surgery. (being the EU though, you can get it for free using public healthcare)
I very interesting article. This kind of numbers should be on the news all the time (like global warming) so people focus more on them instead of what is the last Twitt from the president.

> "Get rich or die trying"

I have always seen this as USA's major flaws. You are not supposed to have a good life but to risk everything for riches. This was working when the rest of the world was under-developed. USA citizens had so much more than the rest. As the world catches up and surpases USA its problems are getting bigger and bigger. If ever the dollar stops being the defacto world currency I can't even imagine what will happen.

How many TV shows I have seen that people laugh at the janitor looking down to him? There is no pride in a job well done, there is no self-fulfilment on doing what is correct. Money and fame are the only thing that matter. You even have religious groups that see economic wealth as a sign of God blessing!

Other countries have different and even bigger problems, but meanwhile the american dream is about economic aboundance and not about having a good life you are doom to a rat race.

> The taxman. I’d like 30% please. 40% if you got a bonus this year. Good job.
> Medical conditions! Your income means you have to pay out of pocket

The fact that your taxes are disconnected from a public health care system is scary. I am very proud of paying taxes that helps people to survive cancer, to get an education or to live with a disability. Your problem is not that you have to pay taxes but that the taxes are not used to give you back services as it was designed to be done (and that rich people does not pay their fair share, and that is something that it is also true in Europe).

On hacker news often you want to show what you've been working on, including a new company you've launched, so you preface the title with Show HN: and then people know this is something you created (which I infer by your name theworded) and it also attracts some interest because people often want to see what cool things other users of hacker news have made.

Interested readers of hacker news will make suggestions as to improvements to design, service, monetization ideas.
In most cases, BEAM's (the Erlang VM's) context switches are not big and expensive, though, which is something you get with user space threads.

Suppose that were to select one number at random from the set of integers in the range from [-1..8]. There is a 1 in 10 chance of selecting -1.

Now suppose you select from the range [-1..98]. There is a 1 in 100 chance of getting the single negative value. In the range [-1..99,998] there is a 1 in 10,000 chance. And so forth.

In the range [-1..x], as we raise x higher the chance of getting the negative value is smaller, and the higher x gets, the closer the chance gets to zero. That is what we mean when we say "the chance of selecting -1 out of [-1..infinity] is zero".

And that is precisely the sense in which the mathematical structures this article refers to (like irrational numbers, or non algebraic solids) have 100% chance of being selected when choosing a (number/solid/whatever) at random.
In fact, I can. I am comparing vaguely estimated cost of addition operation (thus worst case scenario for GA) against better known cost of addition operation on regular CPU.
Unhappy Path Driven Development
Good point, but it's also the case they forget being upset quickly. My father-in-law had dementia, and as he progressed I found it useful (for me) to interact with him as if he was like an X yr old child (without a medium/long term memory). e.g. If X was 6-8 we would talk about family, have a walk, point things out, express preferences, tell stories. If X was 3-4 we would talk about people and things in the room, discuss food, check he was comfortable, smile and be upbeat.

I had much better time with him like this, than seeing other families who were trying to be 'grown up' and have serious conversations. YMMV. Dementia is awful.
This! You will be able to implement your own browser in the browser, with your own brand new accessibility API, i18n and l17n API's, and your own bugs, of course.
We can compile Chrome or WebKit into Wasm and then use them everywhere, even in Firefox!
My experience is that many people simply don’t care. A friend of mine told me that he uses the Kayak app a lot. He gave them access to all his emails. They scan every incoming email for trip itineraries and push it to his app whenever they find something. I was a bit shocked and asked him if he didn’t care that they could read all his emails. He said “no I don’t care, there’s nothing I’d like to hide and I love the convenience”. Well, fair enough I thought.

And then, there’s is often nothing I can tell people to make them afraid. Sure,
I’d never do such a thing. But because I don’t trust the corps, not because I could really articulate what bad could possibly happen in the worst case.
But you'd still need a browser that supports HTML to load the WASM and display it.

Realistically, that would be not much different than current sites using JS, or Flash when that was a thing, or even Java applets. None of those deprecated or replaced HTML, and WASM won't either. At worse, it will be just another thing you can block with a script blocker.
