I had IT band and hamstring attachment tendinitis. I went to the best orthopedic doctor in the city. I explained my symptoms very clearly. He did identify the IT band tendinitis and walked out of the room. I had to catch him "after the appointment" to ask him why the back of my knee hurts then. He THEN did additional tests and identified the other source of the problem.

This is my experience, always. At best, the doctor confirms the problem if I prod them toward it.

I have some pain on the top of my feet now that I am running pretty fast. I am almost sure when I go to the doc they will give me a bs answer.

Shit, last time I had a pulled muscle in my back some doctor wrote "damaged disk" because he needed to put something on the paper to send me to his friend's physical therapy place. I then had to go to another doctor and get an MRI to prove that I don't, in fact, have disk damage, which would otherwise mess up my insurance rates.

I know I sound very bitter, but I find doctors literally worse than useless in most cases.
Yes, VLC also should not provide that (such a music DB) (I think).

But when it provides some API, a plugin/module, or even another external app could provide that logic, i.e. the music DB itself, also the UI to search in the DB, and then also the logic to add something from this DB to the VLC playlist. It would be nice if there is an API such that VLC can be extended to make that possible. But yes, I definitely think that it should be a separate and optional module/plugin/app/script.

>A long list of potentially harmful ingredients banned in the EU are legally allowed in the US due to historically relaxed regulations

Maybe European regulations are overly strict?

US regulations aren't lax.
Maybe. Not right now as we've grounded the problem child. There are lots of great airplanes doing their job right now.

I'm reluctant to continue the self regulation. The EU is doing it's own design review.

Awesome. They will find a lot of ugly, and some of that will be debatable.

Have those debates.

All companies involved will see some costs. But, they will also see opportunity as they work through this stuff.

"I think it’s why so many startups in technology are so eager to boast about how serious and important their mission is. Even if it’s evidently not so. They’re trying to counterweight and compensate for the actual loss of meaning and purpose that a lot of us suffer under either periodically or chronically.

“We’re on a mission to unleash the world’s creative energy by designing a more enlightened way of working” – Dropbox

For fuck’s sake, Dropbox. You host files. You make the files appear on all my computers.

I like Dropbox. I use Dropbox. I PAY FOR DROPBOX. But it is not “unleashing” my “creativity” in any meaningful sense of either of those words. It stores my files. It’s literally a filing company.

Do you think filing cabinet companies of yesteryear bragged about unleashing the creative capacity of the whole fucking world? Of course they didn’t! That would have gotten you laughed out of church.

The 68K is a complex and full featured CPU, so there is a lot of tedious detail to be done that has nothing to do with the overall concept of "design a CPU". For example, there are so many instructions that it took a couple of days of time just to write the microcode.

Let's use an analogy. Suppose you have a class where they teach using Minix. Tasks like "rewrite the time slice algorithm" or "implement part of a filesystem" can be valuable to understanding how an OS works. But if the final project is "reimplement the Linux kernel from scratch" well then you are going to spend a lot of time on the detail work of what you already understand without actually learning much new. It's a poor use of time.

Or in compiler classes. Mess with a module in LLVM is a valid learning experience. Implement a tiny language is super valuable. But "write a C compiler conforming to the C Standard" gets you into a lot of gory details about C, takes an enormous amount of time, and teaches you very little about the theory and practice of compilers and languages.

When I was 10, the Into the Wind catalog lit my imagination in so many ways. It was a fantasy novel crossed with a science book.

A couple years ago I wandered past their store in Boulder and was floored that there was a real, physical incarnation of that magical catalog. I took my little kids there this winter and it was like passing a spark between generations.
Just google for "illegal children outside" and you'll find all kinds of stories. Here's one:

Parents are routinely investigated or get police contact because of this. Of course, being America, it varies a lot from place to place (you probably won't have a problem if you're in an extremely rural place and your kids are playing around in the 40 acres that is your backyard, but in a conservative suburban subdivision you certainly can have CPS investigate just for letting your kids play in your back yard).

As for "always", things were definitely nothing like this when I grew up in the 80s. This isn't the same country I grew up in.
Kite photography is still used at some archaeological sites for aerial photographs: some countries, particularly in the Middle East, are wary of people using drones with cameras.

One of the lectures on YouTube from the Oriental Institute had beautiful pictures of early (Old Kingdom?) Egyptian military and trading sites on the Nile in southern Egypt or possibly northern Sudan, and described the problems they had and why they used kites.
Completely agree. I think many people here regularly work on larger web applications in dynamic languages with heavy JS front-ends piling on dependencies.

Nginx is unbelievably fast by itself, not to mention the optimizations that are completely unnecessary for a static blog. It's not going to be your blocker.

If you're serving up 20MB of JS and inlined images on each page load, yeah, you may want to rethink that. But we don't need to get wild. My homepage is 9.2KB. Longer blog posts (e.g. [1]) can clock in at 20KB. HN won't take that down.

No, vendor lock in can mean a lot, from lets say even a simple plain API implementation, where one vendor might implement something(storage for eg) in a way where its not possible for the other vendor.

I recently moved one of my k8s cluster from gc to aws, even terminology change can introduce a lot of awkwardness.

I don't think you're missing anything at all. The idea of taxing revenue and deducting domestic factors of production was actually discussed as part of US corporate tax reform a couple years ago, and high-profile economists on both the left and right were both pretty positive on the idea. It's a more efficient way to tax profits that isn't easy to game like the current system.

Despite support among economists, it ended up being politically harder since some companies were against it, so they ended up going with a big deficit-funded tax cut instead.
Boring doesn’t necessarily mean easy. It could mean mundane. If the outcome isn’t rewarding and the time and energy investment is high that can lead to stress. If you start narrating in your head about how unfair this is or what else you’d rather be doing then you are really sunk.

For people used to a certain intensity level, just sweeping a large enough floor could be thought of as a punishment. It’s straightforward and you can’t really speed it up much, which makes the act much harder to get through than it appears to be, creating dissonance.
I hear you and I'm mostly just using your comment to share my thoughts. I've learned not to treat the statistics because that doesn't work at the human level.

Fear, anxiety, apprehension, are legitimate human conditions regardless of how irrational they are. And regardless of what the numbers say, there's an effective treatment available: filter flights by plane type.

I personally don't care. But my wife does, and therefore I do care after all.

Took me too many years to learn this fact about coexisting with others: addressing how they feel is almost always easier than trying to convince them not to feel that way.

US regulations are more non-existant than they are lax. In the US a company is free to saturate you with whatever new chemical they invent until you can prove that it is causing you harm. In the EU a company has to first prove the chemical doesn't cause you harm before they saturate you with it. Its why all of us are saturated with hundreds of industrial chemicals and we have no idea what the long term health effects of this saturation will be.

It's actually not clear that GDPR only affects EU citizens:

> Here’s the issue: the law uses the term “data subject” but doesn’t define the term. Some may assume that data subjects are EU citizens, but that analysis seems to exclude the explicit language of the law and practical considerations. There’s tourism, travel, residencies, students abroad, and much more to consider. Because GDPR uses inconsistent qualifiers when referring to data subjects and informal descriptions of who a data subject is, the public has been left with varying interpretations and significant challenges. [1]

In some interpretations, a US citizen who is traveling in the EU and orders something from a US company would be considered a data subject, and the company they ordered from would need to comply with the GDPR.

So how would that be enforced? Either through treaties or by requiring non-EU companies to establish a representative entity in an EU member state. [2]

What makes you think it's only corporate power companies out to make a profit that are the bad guys? It's all of them, including the public utilities. I live in the Tennessee Valley, TVA is consistently the WORST utility in the South in terms of green energy initiatives, and they're a quasi-governmental agency with a complete monopoly over the region they serve. They don't make profits. Their green power program is a sham and in fact they killed our budding green energy manufacturing economy back around 2005 with absurd, arbitrary restrictions on who could get solar panels and hook them up to the grid because those were a threat to their coal buddies' bottom line. Freaking DUKE POWER, whose history includes the blood of who knows how many coal miners, blows us out of the water. (Not that TVA doesn't have blood on its hands, either, but that's another story.)

Anyway, to all the people who wonder why Appalachia won't do the obvious and just replace coal with green energy: oh, we tried, and the powers that be shut that shit down cuz they weren't gonna have none of that. Coal owns us and they aren't gonna let go without a fight.

We like imagine a big conspiracy, or pressure from the top because of corporate greed. And sure, CEOs and the board called leaders for a reason, and ultimately they're responsible, not just for culture, but the whole operation.

While I can't speak for the aviation industry, in my experience lower and middle management is just as much at fault, if not more. That's often where the real cowards sit, tyrannizing downwards and lying upwards. I'm not saying upper management is faultless, but presumably they aren't the only ones.
Totally agree. I was working out irregularly for past few years, however, in a crappy "bro-science" way. I did heavy squats, deadlifts which made my muscle imbalances even worse.

When I visited few physioterapists, they just showed me few exercises (which I could find on the internet). I recently started to work out just with my body weight and focus on my core strength. It's been better, but my back still hurts after exercise from time to time... Fuck sedentary job.
I also had a lot of fun KAPing before drones. Stabilization was handled fairly easy with a Picavet (or Pendulum) suspension system. Neat and low tech.

:Note I read the rest of your comment and agreed with your sentiment. To an extent. But you cannot argue in good faith that the companies that have been making bank without caring a single whit about the environmental cost are somehow the good guys when they have to start considering it.

We have seen recently that bp knew in the 80's of the effect of excessive fuel consumption on global warming. To think that they were the only large company in a similar industry to realise this is just sticking your head in the sand.

Shit has to change. We are running out of options, and frankly if some of these companies go under because they didn't prepare based on knowledge they more than likely knew, well stiff fucking shit.

Because of money.

America is so in love with capitalism that it's OK to poison people as long as you make enough money. If you get in trouble all you have to do is appear in public and say the magic words 'jobs, economy, consumers, America' with a straight face and a quarter of the people who hear you will nod vigorously and argue on your behalf with everyone else. Environment collapsing, possibly putting millions at risk? 'We don't know if climate change is real, but what about jobs? What about the economy?' People dying of hideous diseases? 'It's not our fault that people choose to die horribly under our free market system! Consumers in America want choice!'

Remember, life is just a game and whoever dies with the most toys wins! So long, suckers!

Is there some API to be able to script VLC? E.g. that I can develop a plugin/module or external app/script, where I have a DB, and maybe a GUI (maybe web interface) for the DB as well.

For the API, I would need:

* Some way to get the current playlist.
* Some way to get which item in the playlist is currently being played.
* Some way to add items to the end of the playlist.

Also, maybe in addition:

* Some way to mark that the logic about playlist handling (adding to it, shuffling, etc) is handled by this external module (such that VLC does not do shuffling as well).

The logic of this external module is pretty simple then for the infinite queue: When the currently played item reaches almost the end of the playlist, it would add some more songs to it. For this logic, it would maybe also nice to remove some of the earlier played songs (otherwise the playlist would just grow and grow).
There are some low end VPS providers too that go as low as $1/mo. I usually stick to $2/mo or higher just for stability, reliability. Even you even got hosts like Hetzner Cloud, Scaleway (see European hosts) that provide great service, bandwidth, and VPS. I don't know why people use Amazon... I don't find their value proposition very good unless you need dynamic scaling for unpredictable demand.

Because the main browser vendors are literally ad companies?
You're being naive. Ad companies are not having trouble attributing campaigns. The problem is that small, uncoordinated "privacy" features cause Ad Tech companies to become far more aggressive in how they track users. It's not the companies that lose here, it's you.

A standardized, privacy-centric method for companies to accomplish attribution will help end the arms race and move back to a more consumer-friendly model. Small edges are worth a fortune in Ads. This is like the war on drugs. Clamping down and assuming ad companies will walk away is way too optimistic. Instead, they will move deeper into the shadows at whatever the cost.

In Haskell one applicable type is actually called "Either a b".

I'm not sure what your point is. If a function has a "unitary" return type (not, say, a list of possible return types out of which one is selected) then obviously it always returns a value of that type.

You could probably invent a kind of function that had a list of possible return types. Then anyone who called it would have to deal with those possibilities.

It all comes to the same thing in the end. Sum types and pattern matching are a very good system for expressing this functionality.

It's conceivable that a compiler would throw away the Either type information and just generate separate code for the different ways the function might return. Ultimately, though, I suppose it would end up calling a continuation, since the function has to "return" somehow.
