I'm surprised!

Where I live you're safe from the red light camera if your front-two tires are over the white line when the light changes to red. Sounds like in Oregon you're only safe if you're out of the intersection when it turns red, which seems entirely absurd, especially for tourists / newcomers to the area. How am I supposed to know how quickly your yellow light changes on this street?
It's not just alone the paths, but also near distribution stations, which are closer to urban areas where you can't do burns. Some lines are close to urban areas. Some areas can't be burned at all because the smoke always hits urban areas. And before you can burn you have to clear a long way from the power poles themselves so that they don't get damaged. And so on.

Controlled burns aren't all that controlled in reality. It's hard to do in places that are near human settlements.

(I do disaster planning work in Australia, and while I'm not an expert on bush fires or controlled burning by a long shot, I don't see why those things would be different between the two places).

I definitely would like to avoid 5G beam forming aimed at my crotch if I wanted to have more children. But isn't that sort of close to where we all hold our phones when we are siting? Yikes.
In 1990 in the uk we paid

1) per minute charge on the phone (typically 1-10p)

2) per monthly charge to phone company for line rental

3) per monthly charge to isp for access

4) per minute charge to isp while we were dialed in
Exactly, who's to say?

The idea that all problems must be solved in some order is naive. There is no order. We don't know what the correct path to future desired social outcomes is, we have what seems to be within reach and we achieve it.

A few hundred years ago and you would have priests declaring the men who spend their leisure playing with wires and magnets, or looking at tiny things through looking glasses are wasting their time - clearly they should be working on getting more blankets and clean air to those suffering from disease!
Well, if you could point me to a good scientific study that makes a link between higher life expectancy and cancer, I'd be inclined to believe it. Until then, I think the cancer incidence rise is shocking, and can't be explained by rise in life expectancy alone.

> My only real point is a software blitter library would permit quite a bit, and be portable.

But it really wouldn't be portable. Maybe you mean the software using it could be portable. Because you'd need to account for totally different memory layouts, totally different initialization, totally different movement rules if you want to avoid color bleeds, palettes ranging from monochrome and up etc. You'd likely end up with about as much code to try to make something like that generic as you would writing separate more optimized versions for each platform.

> A secondary one was software objects got done quite a lot. C64 is actually one of the worst case scenarios. It had a considerable amount of DMA interrupting the CPU.

It had some, but not very much. The 6510 didn't access memory other than every other cycle, so most of the time it ran unhindered. Some things would change this - e.g. it "cost" two clock cycles per raster line for every sprite that was present on that raster line.

It also cost you extra every 8th line when the VIC would need to retrieve new colour data from RAM, but if that was enough to tip things over the line you could "just" cut ~25 lines off the part of the screen you worked with and you'd have freed up more cycles than you lost. Some games certainly did "play games" with the display size, to cut the cost of graphics updates, but the vast majority of those games did that despite not even using bitmap mode.

The reason we didn't use bitmap mode was not DMA, but that character mode + sprites + raster effects was so much faster for most uses.

> But, if someone wants to explore a little, and wants to use C or Pascal, etc... more can be done than expected.

It's not the language per se that is the issue (though most modern languages are awful for 6502 platforms without lots of restrictions due to stack limitations); it is whether or not you write code custom for the specific graphic chips in particular for those architectures, which tends to make up a fairly substantial part of the overall game when you in most cases are looking at single to double digit number of KB including assets.

> Sometimes it is about more than looking pretty.

Yes, but my point is nobody would have accepted the C64 Robotron either already by ~1985. Game quality had moved on. By pure sales numbers alone, the majority of people who remember these platforms fondly today got them after the design of a game like Robotron was already outdated.

I just don't see the appeal of aiming for portability between platforms where what you do to achieve that portability completely eviscerates what people loved about that platform because the lowest common denominator is so far from what people were used to. In that case, just write for the VIC-20 or whatever matches your lowest common denominator directly.
They can live 20+ years. However they typically will not: the wild is a harsh place, 5-7 years is an accurate mode.

You are trying to let your bias manipulate others yourself.
Not quite: if you stage something, it no longer appears in "git diff" and you have to use "git diff --cached" to show it. One of those things which I trip over occasionally.

"git diff --cached" = staging vs. HEAD

"git diff" = workspace vs. staging (but when nothing is staged, staging == HEAD)

(I think?)
By "playing by the rules" I meant that Elm doesn't give up the big considerations that lie outside of the purely linguistic features, I've listed some of them.

PureScript is a tremendous language, and I'd be happy to see it more widely used, and your points about JS interop and SPA focus are true of course, but I would argue that the step for ditching FFIs are better for some of the same reasons that were listed.
I clicked on a few links and Googled a few names.
It's roughly what I'd expect: People with few publications now working in other fields, people without scientific publications, but university degrees, people who regularly speak at events from radiation critics, people who are invested in other fringe theories.

People get fooled by "large lists of peer-reviewed publications". Peer review is a lowest level quality mark for a piece of science. It means that hopefully it's not complete bullshit. Sometimes it still is, because noone can forbid you to call your journal "peer-reviewed" with your own weak standards of peer review. And sometimes credible journals make huge mistakes (remember the "Wakefield-study"...). Even with only well-performed, non-flawed studies you'll always have some studies saying that something is there that actually isn't. That's simple statistics, you'll have outliers.

"Here's a large number of studies saying X" is meaningless in a topic where a very large number of studies have been done. What you need is systematic reviews of the literature that not only count studies, but evaluate their quality and combine their results.

Also it's not true that "nobody knows why" cancer incidence has risen. It's a mixture of people getting older and diagnosis getting better. Not mysterious at all.
Lots of people don't have the clout to just get a job wherever they want, and have to play the game as it is.
Great work! Very nice integrable UI design.
No, it is not acceptable, and I didn't say that it is.

It is a good thing that we spend research effort into identifying why this is happening.

All I'm saying is that I have concluded, for myself, that EM-radiation is the least of my worries when it comes to negative effects (including cancer).

In the US the only things that matter in trademark are Lanham Act matters, specifically whether there's a likelihood of confusion (ignoring for the moment active use in commerce and other infringement elements). Simply returning a competitor's ad when searching someone else's trade name isn't enough (citation needed).

How do you manage finances in a relationship?
My parents were divorced growing up and I have never had an example of how people manage finances in a relationship. I take care of my finances well, but how does that scale in a relationship? I have been asking a lot of friends who are married or asking my friends how their parents manage finances. In general, I see 3 models.

Model 1)
Separate accounts with 1 shared for communal expenses.

Model 2)
Breadwinner brings home money and stay-at-home-partner will manage the finances.

Model 3)
Breadwinner handles all finances and gives money to the other partner.

Most of my getting-by-decently-married friends seem to be in Model 1) or 2). In general, Model 1) seems to be common amongst couples when 1 of the 2 people is not well educated in personal finance. Of my higher-income married friends, they usually fall into Model 3).

I am interested in different frameworks for decision making in relationships especially with investments, debt, and long term planning. I am also interested in dynamic frameworks that account for asymmetrical incomes between partners. Ex, each partner contributes 10% to a savings account to prepare for a 6-month emergency fund, 10% into an investment account, etc...

I know this is quite a personal subject, but I am just looking to educate myself and prepare myself. I appreciate all answers and insight.

Thank you in advance.
No, but I have read stories of auto APIs that are as broken as "change the user ID at the end of the request string, and you can see the entire account details of any other registered user".

That sort of incompetence makes me pause and think.

Seems like the worst candidate to see if UBI works in practice - due to the very specific political, cultural and economic climate in Saudi Arabia, UBI failing or working well won't be any indicator whatsoever about UBI's viability in another country.

Not verifying expiry dates seems to be something that's not affected by comingling. What does Amazon do to ensure that their expired stock does not get shipped? Why does the same process not work for third-party goods?
No, this slide is correct. git diff (without any arguments) shows you what you haven't staged. In other words, the different between the working folder (which here is called "workspace") and the index.
You could redirect these requests at your router though, essentially performing a MITM on your own device.

That will no longer be possible, which is a good and bad thing depending on the circumstances.

Chinese Hacking: The Plane Made from Stolen Tech?
Mutagenic effects can come from many sources, not just direct modification of DNA. Anything that interrupts or interferes with the replication process can easily influence the quality of the output. Tumor Treating Fields [1], for example, use ~150-200kHz alternating electrical fields to mechanically disturb microtubule formation to corrupt mitosis and destroy cells in the process of reproducing. There's nothing remotely ionizing about this process but on the fringes of effect it could result in damaged but not destroyed cells.

You raise a good point. When an appeal to authority has already made credentials etc. the issue, challenging that appeal becomes valid. The problem is that OP wasn't just an appeal to authority. It did not open that door. It did make arguments other than identity, and linked to fuller expositions of those arguments. Thus, addressing only identity and ignoring any arguments in either direction remains ad hominem.

No, however a program that encourages applied homeopathy should not be legitimized by associating it with an applied standard medical degree. Homeopathy can be treated as an open area of research at any evidence based program but certification implies a step beyond academic.

A layman looking for medical attention should not be responsible for having to make that distinction. The fact that a layman conflates the two is the issue at hand.
I've had someone in my flat make almost exactly that claim. They made it while unknowingly sat immediately next to a busy WiFi router. The claim did not go well for them.

Also worth noting that an iPad playing high bitrate video will be warmer than one which isn't; I could probably tell the difference too.
None of what you say is false, but without numbers it's impossible to compare to other sources of danger. And like ionising radiation, you need to compare to background levels. How does it compare to, say, the sun? Or EMC emissions from motor vehicles?

Yup, but that's custom tech your municipality sprung for. In the '90s there was a town I lived in whose lights identified your approach and changed to green for you as you arrived (at low density times). If you went the speed limit, you never stopped or slowed down.

I've pined for that tech in every place I've lived since. :-D

Cell modems are around 300 milliwatts transmit, it would be like holding a LED light up to your head that flickers on and off when sending data.

Extremely tiny exposure of non ionizing radiation, you probably get more from the monitor your looking at right now.
The trouble is, there's lots of evidence, and also lots of evidence that it isn't. The only way to draw a conclusion is by making a judgement about which evidence is better: which scientific experiments are better designed?

The Ultimate Revelation Of Cross-Platform Technologies
I have been using it for a few months, maybe a year. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I can't seem to get any benefit out of it.

Texts highlights are a pain to use (so I don't, even though I love highlighting text while reading), the search doesn't find anything despite the keyword being in the title of the page and all the context menu and side bar are doing are unexpectedly hijacking my clicks.

I really hoped for more and still believe that it has the potential to be useful. I hope one day it will be.
Where I’m from in southern USA, there are 65mph state highways with 4 way traffic light intersections. There is always a “stop light ahead” sign, and the rule is simple: if you are traveling the speed limit and you pass the “stop light ahead” sign before the light starts to change, you will clear the yellow phase.
After our bad experience in 2016 using GHCJS on a big project, we haven't considered it for anything since. Anything that arrived after that related to GHCJS just hasn't been on my radar ("a history of my own experience in this problem space").
Which isn't the point of the initial complaint from Basecamp, their point is that they _are_ the number 1 search, but even being the number 1 search places them below several spaces advertising for 'Basecamp'. If Garmin were the number 1 space, perhaps the argument would hold less weight, sure :)
> more than 240 scientists who have published peer-reviewed research on the biologic and health effects of nonionizing electromagnetic fields"

They are mostly experts in other fields.
Maybe but I can see how it could actually end up in “give it all to us right now” which obviously would short circuit the whole idea.
This is a tangent, but it's crazy that we've built a communications network that relies on basically LEDs shining out of our pockets (with less interference from the sun, but still).
There are quite a few obvious reasons why cancer rates are rising.

* Cancer mortality is sinking

By "playing by the rules" I meant that Elm doesn't give up the big considerations that lie outside of the purely linguistic features, unlike other ML-family JS languages.

I don't claim Elm to be a part of JS world, and your points about JS interop are correct, it's somewhat difficult if it's heavy, so using Elm as a driving for some big JS library would be a bad idea, while using some small interface for drawing charts or WYSIWYG is ok.

The private packages point is specific to how they do stuff, but I agree that it would be an improvement to allow that from package.json.

I'm not young by any stretch of the imagination, but I also consume content on my phone whenever I'm doing mundane tasks that allow for it, such as walking or riding public transportation. (Of course if I'm walking I look up every couple seconds to avoid bumping into people/things.)

I see it as a better use of my time: if I can walk from A to B and catch up on HN, that's better than walking from A to B and spacing out.

But I wouldn't call it addiction, because as soon as the mundane activity is over, I put the phone down.

If it interfered with my work, sleep, safety, or other important aspects of my life (such as for the teenager described the article) then it would be an addiction.
Yes this is bizarre - it's the same in the UK, where crossing the stop line on red is the offence. Often in cities traffic will continue through the amber light so you often have to turn on red to clear the junction. (Pedestrian lights are generally timed to account for this.)

What if an obstruction appears in the road - a pedestrian or a u-turning car? Are you just meant to plow into them?
I would add sleep deprivation to your list.

Went to my default search (DDG) - Basecamp is the first result on top and then third result. Wikipedia page about them is also on top to the right side. Disabled adblocker - surprise surprise, got same results :) .

Opened Google without adblocker - now that's pathetic - two ads on top from Monday and Teamwork companies, then third result is Basecamp. Wikipedia result is below the fold, 8th result.

This is one of the reasons why I dropped Google as main search engine two years ago and opened it maybe five or ten times this year (for non-english highly sepicific queries). Google search is simply not the top one now and privacy concern too.
What do we do instead then? Just give up and stick to using 4G?
They should not be denied anything, but no self-respecting medical doctor should get a certification in homeopathy just because there is a market for it. That just adds legitimacy to it and keeps the wheel spinning.

I would not get a certification in computer shamanism, even if it made my clients feel better about me when I mumbled the Old Tongue and clapped my hands above their laptop. If this was something people wanted, I'm sure others with more compromised morals would be happy to set up a certification board and oblige.

I have no ill feelings towards those that believe that computers or human bodies are magic. This is not their fault. I have no respect for professionals that are complicit in this. Shame on them. They are one short step away from professionally proscribing homeopathy because it "makes the client feel better, so the ends justify the means".

Hey, some people believe the placebo pill is ethical. I believe it violates the letter and spirit of informed consent. I feel the same about homeopathy. Homeopathy is bunk no matter how a sick person or salesman or doctor feels about it.
Thanks again. I'll be honest, I was feeling like maybe it's just not possible in this day and age to run non-third party ads. The info you've provided has helped me out of that rut.
