I had a similar experience. My oral surgeon, who did a great job, highly recommended I fill the painkiller prescription and take it. He recommended this several times throughout the process, before and once before I left, as did the nurses (?) at the counter, as I expressed some concerns about it.

I finally caved and then took a half dose right after the extraction because I was fearing terrible pain, especially since the surgeon said mine was a fairly difficult job that would probably end up causing more pain than is typical.

The half dose of painkiller made me extremely nauseous, and so I decided to just try the 800mg of ibuprofen, and it did the job perfectly. I did feel a little sore and stiff, but never in pain unless I waited too long for another ibuprofen dose. It was the same for my girlfriend, who was also prescribed the pain killer but didn't take it because she didn't feel she needed it either.

The pain killer being prescribed didn't bother me per se, and neither did the recommendation, and I don't think anything nefarious was going on. Also, everyone's body is different. But given the side effects, and potential side effects, I just felt that even a simple "we recommend you get this prescription filled, but please see how the ibuprofen works first, and only take the pain killer if you can't handle the pain on ibuprofen alone" would have been a better way to handle it.

I've seen the inspection notices, but I was thinking of it more from a civil liberties standpoint than an "ability to serve unsanitary food" standpoint. In other words: how practical is it for an Everyperson to own/operate a restaurant?

I haven't personally owned restaurants in both SG and USA, but what I understand is it is way easier in SG in terms of red tape, capital, insurance etc. I think that's a very valid criticism.

Nothing except the rules of that society, which is why organizations like the Nature Conservancy actively seek to have their landholdings added to national and state parks so they can be permanently protected. But the political appetite to do that doesn't always exist, which is why private conservancies are there - to protect natural land that the government won't.

A real nightmare occurs when a large number of businesses don't accept cash. As this process proceeds, people who are unbanked or can't get a credit care are now not only locked out of the financial system, but also the monetary system! It hugely centralizes the management of the entire consumer economy in the hands of a few bankers who have no responsibility to the electorate - and there's no escape valve.

I would see this practice immediately banned. If a note is legal tender for all debts public and private, it is an attack on the monetary system to not accept it. I can understand why individual businesses would rather not deal in cash, but we can't allow their narrow interests to dominate the public interest.

EDIT: It does make sense to not accept notes for large transactions (e.g. more than a few hundred dollars), but it's crazy to not be able to buy toilet paper.

"well-resourced" I imagine shifts the probability towards the "state sponsored" direction, and they probably know more than they're sharing in the article.

I didn't downvote you, but you seem to lack experience/knowledge on the topic if you think it's only a painkiller.

Ibuprofen's main use is to help to keep the body temperature in check. When your body temperature goes too high you can lose consciousness and even die. I had a very high fever once and didn't want to take any medicine until I started to lose consciousness and I almost fell while waiting in a line in pharmacy. I was able to go through it only because I was adult. Children are more fragile. Fever is the reason people died so much before discovery of antibiotics.

You are right that it alleviates the symptoms, and it's actually better not to use it when the temperature is moderate because high temp kills some germs. But if it goes too high, you have to stop it before it's too late.

No, a dollar bill that was not blessed by the FED does not fulfill the one and only function of a currency of being an accounting tool for people's economic contributions to society. A copy of a windows disc is functionally identical to a "genuine" windows disc.

That's what I was thinking when reading the following paragraph. He is one of the greatest mathematicians of our times but what he writes is so relatable.

You're making the mistake of treating amount spent on healthcare as a proxy for quality of healthcare system. The US spends more per head on healthcare than any other country, but is far down the rankings for health outcomes. This doesn't show that healthcare is irrelevant: it shows that the US healthcare system is so broken that despite spending so much, the outcomes are no better than much poorer countries like Cuba and Mexico. The US is the massive outlier here, and it's no coincidence that the US is also the only rich country without universal healthcare.
Most of the content people enjoy still comes from big corporations.

Much of the content people consume now comes from random people, but they don’t actually enjoy it. You ever watch someone use Instagram? It’s just conditioning. Scroll, tap tap, scroll, tap tap, scroll, tap tap.

When people enjoy content they pay for it with money. When people mindlessly consume content whose value approaches zero, but isn’t quite zero because zero would be nothing at all, they pay for it with “likes.”

Good reasons not to have many modules: Compile time, Website loads times and sizes, Project maintainability.

Nested dependencies have negative effects on all of those. They encourage uncontrolled addition of modules, and even addition of modules in multiple versions. They lead to wrong "isolationist" thinking.

In other words, they do not manage complexity but produce unneeded complexity.

Everything in moderation... Ibuprofen is probably okay for the occasional headache or pain, but avoid taking it daily... That is at least my MO.
But how is it better than an ice bath given the side effects of ibuprofen are potentially worse than an ice bath?
Rapid rise in temperature in infants, toddlers, and young children can cause febrile seizure. Given the trade-offs, we generally choose to medicate our child when his temperature passes ~102 and it's on a rapid uptrend.
My guess is the down vote comes from someone thinking your comment sounds like you don't have any children or know what you are talking about. You don't give ibuprofen for pain during a fever, though doctors will say it can help because often times the source of the fever will cause pain like an ear infection or strep throat, you give it to reduce the temperature. There is a serious risk of seizure in children if you let fevers run high. So to say you don't have to give them anything is certainly not true in many cases and in fact could be life threatening to just ignore. That would be my guess to the down vote. I have multiple kids and never has the thought in my mind been I will give them analgesic for the pain of their illness. It is about the temp 100% of the time. I do not like to take drugs nor give them to my children if avoided but certain things you must treat. Fever is one.

The concept of abuse seems hilarious. What abuse? That people might visit their local doctor more frequently? That's a good thing! Many ailments get more expensive to treat the longer they are left untreated.

Once you come to terms with the fact it's permanently cheap/free, the psychological incentive to be wasteful ("use it or lose it") disappears completely. By comparison the American capitalist health system continually reinforces the notion that healthcare has monetary value, which means failing to take advantage of it feels wasteful.

I’m well aware of who I am addressing. It seems you’re implying we should make special allowances for people depending on how popular they are. My entire point is that I won’t take someone at their name; I completely reject the idea of the “celebrity” programmer. Redux is pretty neat; IIRC it was a state store influenced by Elm and implemented in about 50 lines of JavaScript. But there are plenty of developers — even popular open-source contributors — who don’t have the same anti-intellectual position of rejecting CT because it isn’t “pragmatic”.
I think you might be confusing "Inter" with "Intel". This font is named "Inter UI" since its design goal is for use in user interfaces. It doesn't have anything to do with Intel.
I know hindsight is 20/20 and it's easier said than done, but probably the best way to build social skills is to take up a group sport like football/basketball/frisbee/rock climbing etc. Or join a dance team/music band after a few lessons. Or take up volunteering. Any physical activity in which you're part of a team. This is very important, try to succeed in this as seriously as you study type theory because people skills are important for whichever career/life path you choose.
2.9% plus 30 cents (in the case of Stripe) is pretty darn expensive, your effectively paying 9% in fees on a $5 transaction. Better processors have slightly lower percentages (~2% & $0.05 to $0.10) but they're often a pain to work with and have a variety of hidden booyah fees that drive up the cost (PCI compliance fees, statement fee, requiring a wired internet connection for a credit/debit terminal).

Large chunks of the US still operate primarily in cash to avoid these fees and presumably some taxes, SoCal is a good example of an area where using credit is often discouraged (even Kroger is not accepting Visa!).

I would fix the law towards the other direction. As a citizen of a Nordic country, the idea that someone can own a big parcel of a natural space that no-one else can access, seems wrong.

Nordic countries have what we call "every man's right". You can own forest land, but everyone has a right to access them:

People can freely walk, ski, ride a bicycle and hike in the forest. They can camp there, pick berries and mushrooms. Hunting requires a permission of the owner but light forms of fishing are allowed: such as angling and ice-fishing.
You didn't read the article it seems static in this context doesn't mean a fixed array size it means at least as many as indicated. Take for example strlen(const char *src) could be strlen(const char src[static 1])
> which is why organizations like the Nature Conservancy actively seek to have their landholdings added to national and state parks so they can be permanently protected

This is foolish. Land can't be given with a perpetual conservation requirement attached; as long as the Nature Conservancy owns the land, it's able to ensure that the land is used according to its own preferences. Land given to the government is protected much less permanently than that.
With most things in life, you get out what you put in. I remembered it was awkward for me, but I made efforts to hang out with friends. A lot of my friends didn't have the same interest as me at first, but there's always something in common that we share, may it be sports or food or movies or just plain hanging out. As you already know, friendship needs cultivating. Just like building a relationship. So, go have fun! Keep an open mind and hang out with people, you'll learn interesting things about them and build a long lasting friendship bond.
Why does Venmo feel cumbersome in comparison? You scan a QR code, type in an amount and send; that sounds like what you're describing no?
You only need to restart if there has been a kernel update (on any platform, not just “some distros”). For regular driver updates between the same kernel ABI you can use modprobe to unload and reload the drivers. This works because while drivers share the same kernel memory space (as you illuded to), they aren’t (generally) part of the same kernel binary. They normally get bundled in the same compressed archive but are separate files with a .ko extension.

This isn’t a system that is unique to Linux either. Many UNIX platforms adopt similar mechanisms and Windows obviously also has its drivers as separate executables too.

It just so happens that rebooting is an easier instruction to give users than “unload and reload the device driver”; which might also potentially be dangerous for some devices to “hot-unload” while in use. So a reboot tends to be common practice on all platforms. But at least on Linux, it’s not mandatory like it is on Windows (for reasons other than the ability to reload drivers on a live system)
> Is it normal that I don't have close friends and that I'm solitary? Am I missing out on anything?

Given your interest in type theory, it's definitely normal for you to be solitary. Most mathematicians are. A lot of writers, too, I imagine.

But you are missing out on something, as a lot of us "programmer-types" are, which is a healthy social life. We can connect with others online, but I think we'd be fooling ourselves if we thought that being social online can replace being social IRL.

My recommendation is that you put some work into making a good friend with similar interests to your own. There's got to be someone at your school who is also interested in programming. Find that/those person/s and befriend them. You'll be glad you did.

In the UK A&E is flooded with people with minor ailments that could have been treated at home with a first aid kit, or people who are just drunk. The system is definitely taken for granted. People even call ambulances for a ride to an appointment, not even an emergency.

Source: once spent 5 hours waiting to be seen in A&E, sitting on a plastic chair with a broken leg, while kids with grazed knees and people with minor colds were seen before me. If I needed the bathroom or a glass of water, I had to get up and hobble there on my broken leg. The NHS were great once I actually got seen, but they are swamped with idiots demanding unnecessary medical attention, because it's free.
Ice bath has really short-term effect. If your body temp is really high, ice bath can take it down for 30-40 minutes and then it's back up. Ibuprofen takes it down for 6 hours.
