This is just anecdotal, but I've had problems with heartburn for years and am having great succes with betaine hcl + pepsin supplements. This actually increases stomach acid. That + dietary changes almost completely cleared my problems. Just throwing it out there. YMMV.

Interchange is capped at 0.3% in the EU (0.2% for debit cards). Paypal + Stripe charge 1.9% + €0.25 for merchants in the EU charging EU customers.

Also, you can't blame a 3-5% currency conversion fee (often paid twice - once by the customer and once by the merchant) on interchange.

IMO the currency conversion is the real problem here... that's the hidden charge. The payment processing fee was agreed up front with full transparency for the merchant. And chargebacks are an unfortunate mess created by the fact that card networks are inherently quite rubbish. But FX fees can basically be whatever makey-uppy number the processor wants them to be.
To be fair, Github doesn't make much available on mobile. Not even a full readme. It's a shame their mobile website is so useless.
And untreated chronic heartburn has a fairly strong link to cancer. And some of the better non-PPI drugs, like ranitidine were just pulled by the FDA for impurities. Then, famotidine is in short supply because of some study that it might treat COVID-19. Yikes.
> Once it's safe to do so, we'll be clustering together again, like we always have.

I think we're agreeing. The question is how soon each individual will judge the situation "safe enough". The young (50 and under or so) will soon realize that they were probably never at much risk, and will revert to normal faster.

The not-young will remain quite wary for a very long time, partly because old people are risk-averse to begin with, and partly because they are at higher risk from COVID-19 specifically.

Economic factors will play a large role as well. Most of us are realizing (faster or slower) that we just got whacked financially. Many have lost jobs, had their retirement accounts depleted, or suffered other downsides. And as a society we will be paying for this for decades in terms of higher taxes, lower services and social safety nets.

Right, and total cost for SPS would be around 5 cents/kWh. The receiver is a small portion of that at 0.7 cents.

Sure. There's this one user named lawnchair_larry who believes that women are, on average, weaker performers in tech[1], that it's for biological reasons[2], and that it's fair to discriminate against women in hiring decisions because of it[3]. Yes, he phrased some of his opinions as questions, but anyone with a fifth grade reading level can figure out the implied answer.

Seeing this, along with another top-level comment that what kids really lack is good parents, approaches for what broadly looks like "poverty" need to be different in developed vs. developing countries. People are poor for different reasons.
No, we want better lives for ourselves and the people around us and coming after us.

Taxes and worker welfare are two tools we can deploy towards that goal. A company is a voluntary organizational tool, and when run as well as Tesla is, an extremely effective one at accomplishing a goal.

> "don't call us, we'll call you"

I don't think with React as distributed (and per tutorial) you can avoid writing that first render() call, so no, “you call us” in this case.

The existence of third-party skeletons and templates that impose some structure or another and pre-write the initial render() call isn't making React a framework.

It's a feature, of course: being mostly on the library end of the spectrum opens up innovative uses of the efficient rendering. A framework by definition is narrow about what one can achieve without fighting it, otherwise (as I have to agree with TFA) its developers would drown in features and complexity.

As to running Angular in React, I stand corrected, last time I built on Angular when it was at version 5. I stand by the rest of my argument, though.

Somewhat tangentially, do you have an opinion on whether PPIs cause dementia, regardless of what the mechanism may be?

Reason I ask is that I've been taking them daily for years to control GERD, so I'm wondering if I'm frying my brain. But I'm not really qualified to understand the intricacies of this kind of research.

I mean, hi/low is fairly well understood, as are hi-opt methods and such. Casino Verite is a long-standing simulation software used for over a decade (at least in my case) to test theories and strategies. Illustrious 18 is a sample modification table for basic strategy and so forth.

Card counting can be profitable. It's not invented by the casinos, I assure you of that. I've earned enough backoffs from them.

Wizard of Odds is a good site to peruse if you want derived tables/odds/simulations. The author of the blog (Shackleford) is a fairly good statistician and computer modeler.

The information is out there.

In modern times, most of the value of card counting comes from game selection and beating bonuses/weak side bets/match plays. It's not likely a good full-time job. But good advantage players have a wide set of skills, of which beating blackjack is simply one.
Interesting,

Okay I removed that part, but Tegnell has now and then suggested the Swedish model is "herd immunity" and then sometimes suggested it's not.

It does indicate the Swedish model could work, because the paper says it's just 43% with "disease-induced" herd immunity. And according to Swedish authorities 25% of Stockholm population already has antibodies.
Disappointing to see comments like this (and many others on this site) downvoted. There is nothing wrong with this comment, it's not offensive or shrill. If someone has an issue with the logic they should reply to it.
You're equating the final stage of this approach to the entire approach. The point of this technique is that you get the benefits you typically would from dirty rectangles without the burden of the bookkeeping you would traditionally have. Using this technique your application "redraws" everything as if it's drawing it fresh each frame and the renderer cache takes care of determining what's actually changed.

Typically with dirty rectangles you would have to manage this state in the application code, for example, determining that line X was edited then updating the region for that line, or determining that view Y moved and updating a dirty rectangle based upon it's previous and current positions.

Why? DOOM was a technical achievement, sure, but it has little in the way of story; it didn't even attempt the whole "trying to tell a story without words" thing common in video games of today. It's certainly not an epic.

If they wouldn't have released source code for it in 1997, who would actually be thinking of DOOM today in terms of anything but "Wow, that had pretty cool tech!"?

I could kind of understand the story appreciation for DOOM 3, because it at least had a story, but DOOM?
The cathedral on the island is beautiful and contains Immanuel Kant's tomb. It was bombed pretty severely in WW2, before that there were a bunch of buildings on the island:

> After the war, the cathedral remained a burnt-out shell and Kneiphof was made into a park with no other buildings. Before the war, Kneiphof had many buildings. One of the buildings was the first Albertina University building, where Immanuel Kant taught, which was situated next to the east side of the cathedral.

I've seen very different information on how long "for a long time" is. Even just writing "for a long time" makes me wonder, if you have a range, why not give it?

The figure for immunity duration at say 95th percentile seems to be the key figure for herd immunity being viable or not, at least to my layman eyes.
This is not an unknown. We have very good data on outcomes. The media has been diving ever-further into niche stories of bad outcomes in order to drive clicks, but the numbers of cases driving these narratives are vanishingly small.

For the vast majority (>98%) of those who are under 60 and otherwise healthy, this disease is on par with the flu.

Even amongst those who are more vulnerable, the rate of long-term sequelae is low. It’s the people who end up in the ICU who are experiencing the most long-term effects, and those people are a single-digit percentage of a single-digit percentage of those infected.
Could you name your previous payment gateway (if it's not going to get you in trouble)? I think it's important to discuss hidden fees (especially on the consumer side - most people aren't even aware that 3rd parties get a cut of every card transaction they make)
If I wasn't clear I apologise.

Let me try to explain what I mean as simply as I can so that I can be sure I'm communicating what I want to say:

Games are complex and ever more complex and costly each year.

Verifying user input is expensive on the CPU of the remote side.

Servers are expensive, people have indicated they want to run one: one of our servers costs more than my monthly salary every month. Double if it's in the cloud.

So verification of the server side is not done for all things, some ray casting here and there for bullets, some bounds checks, but nothing like a defined absolute "you can _only_ do X,Y,Z" because that would be very very very expensive on CPU, because there's millions and billions of things you can do based on your current situation. And we have to trust that the actions you're sending that change your situation are true.

So we start tracking movements every frame, updating your state on the server and then suddenly there's incoming damage. We can see that you got hit, but on your screen you were in cover? who decides?

So now we have this exponential increase in "where people are" on the server, what is possible for them to do. Instead of just doing the raycasting on the bullet trajectory. (which is expensive, but not like "take 30s" expensive.

Synchronising state amongst all clients 240 times per second is very difficult, in fact, I assume you know computer science so you tell me how easy distributed systems are without trust of anything. It's pretty difficult to have quorum here.

Now do it for as many players as possible (say, 1.000), and you have 2 engineers for a year. Btw at the same time you need to make deployable health skills in-game, oh and support level design and also write AI for the NPCs (Civilian and 5 factions of combat).

Making games is complex, obscenely so, and everything that's done is a hack on a hack on a hack. Frankly I'm surprised they work.

To give context: we are roughly 10% of the engineering force that makes the browser dialog pop-ups on google.com. But we have code that is at least three orders of magnitude more complex and we had 2 years to make it.
Thank you for getting back to me and sorry for the bad experience, this sounds terrible! Would you think wrong amount(s), wrong timing, wrong effect(s)? Does you browser prefer dark or light backgrounds (did the background go very dark or very light when you scrolled)? If you care to emulate the other through eg Chrome DevTools, does this affect your opinion?
You need an App Bundle. This is normally handled by Xcode or your building script, but it's possible to do it manually.

To make App bundles you have to create the following directory structure:

Lite.app
\- Content
\- MacOS
\- Lite (that's the executable file)

Here's a script that automates all that: [1]

To add an icon you need a plist and a icns file [2].

I know it looks cumbersome, but it pays off when you need to bundle multiple files with your app.

I'm pretty sure there are more

Also the immediate UI library from the same author is very good and the examples are amazing.

Not just agreeing, emphatically encouraging.

I guess it's a matter of semantics. If you ask if I want a coffee and I say "yes please", did I ask for coffee? I would say the answer is "yes", but I could understand a hyperliteral argument for "no".
I fail to see what the problem is here. So you end up with a couple big free providers that serve ads (like Gmail, Yahoo!, Outlook, etc.) and some smaller premium providers (like Fastmail, G-Suite, ProtonMail, etc.) and if someone really wants to they can even host their own. Also, if someone had a neat idea for a new Fediverse business they can launch it and interoperate with all the existing ones (like starting a new email service).

How is that anything like reinventing a monolithic social network like Facebook?

I am not from the US, so bear with me if I am misunderstanding the nuance of the situation. But reading US news, it seems that it is common for police to arrest people for (and only for) resisting arrest. Resisting arrest by definition must occur when attempting for arrest someone. But since the person was arrested for nothing but resisting arrest, the original arrest attempt which was resisted must have been for nothing. It appears that whatever the intent of the law might have been, in practice the police can arrest anyone without need for cause.

The same holds true for Postgres: idiomatically, it’s the data store and thus comes with its own set of instructions. I’m not really sure what you’re arguing here. Redis gets even worse: here are a few datasets we support, now go architect your use cases around them.

Of course, none of these reasons make them bad tools. Quote the contrary. We are about to ship a react + postgres + redis product. They all work great together for the very fact that like good libraries, we can borrow from each where they are needed.

Just because idiomatically React is the only thing interacting with the DOM isn’t an indictment...it just means React is really good at that and most people would rather use it exclusively for DOM manipulation. The same way that Postgres is often the only data store, not because it forces it upon you, but because it’s really really good at it.
> and began to depend on Sicily and Egypt to produce the grain for Rome

Later in the fourth century there were lots of shenanigans around securing the grain supply for the capital which in that period had shifted to north africa. I don't think we can rule out soil degradation as the reason for the shifts in the productive regions across ancient history, like how Paestum turned into a swamp due to soil erosion.
Sports betting is less deterministic than cards, since odds are set relative to popularity and past statistics. Sports bettors would make money by recognizing when the odds are unrealistic (e.g. popular team is favored too highly) but these markets are efficient. Think of the parimutuel pool as the original crowdsourcing of wisdom.
The problem I see here really is that he has a lot of money. If billionaires get their way by threatening dire consequences, it creates the perception that rules and regulations are for sale to sufficiently high bidders, or even worse that billionaires can create company towns which must pass whatever regulations they want.

If the CEO of some 100 person company tweets out "screw you guys I'm moving to Texas", I think that's fine. Even if the state makes changes in response, nobody's going to think that his money alone was the deciding factor.

Currently we need to learn more about this virus to make informed decisions - there is more we still don't know, than we do know for sure. Trying to slowly contain the virus like in South Korea, Taiwan, New Zealand is a strategy worth a shot for most of the western world, unless we learn something dramatic new about it. There is no need for draconian lock downs after exponential spread is stopped, but we do need good track and trace programs, masks etc. There are very high risks associated with Swedish strategy of either killing a lot of people due to bad separation of vulnerable people, destroying health of the big part of the population (see below), or even just failing to reach herd immunity because social distancing, closure of schools, and ban on mass gathering will be good enough to slow down the spread a lot, but bad enough to kill disproportionate amount of people. For example Sweden has many times more deaths than other Nordic Countries, but similar economical outlooks, and the even the idea of reaching herd immunity is uncertain. It may be that other Nordic countries will have soon less or about the same amount of restrictions as Sweden, but many times less deaths.

And regarding the risks, one of the scientists who discovered Ebola [0]:

"Many people think COVID-19 kills 1% of patients, and the rest get away with some flulike symptoms. But the story gets more complicated. Many people will be left with chronic kidney and heart problems. Even their neural system is disrupted. There will be hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, possibly more, who will need treatments such as renal dialysis for the rest of their lives. The more we learn about the coronavirus, the more questions arise. We are learning while we are sailing. That’s why I get so annoyed by the many commentators on the sidelines who, without much insight, criticize the scientists and policymakers trying hard to get the epidemic under control. That’s very unfair."

Also based on Japanese study on around 100 COVID-19 cases from Grand Princess passengers [1] and some 6 divers all with mild cases from Germany [2] around 50 to 80% of people seem to have damage to the lungs visible on CT scans after mild symptomatic or even asymptomatic infection. Two of the divers had significant oxygen deficiency when doing physical exercise after 5-6 weeks of recovery. The guess of the doctor who was inspecting them is that this is permanent damage that may take years to recover if ever.

Looking at the screenshot in full size [1], it looks really cool but the text is visibly blurry (look at the = signs for example). Text rendering is hard, and especially for a text editor it's a good idea to just use the current platform's text rendering instead of rolling your own. Of course SDL "rolls its own" because it focuses on being exactly the same on every platform.

SDL seems to offer font hinting which would somewhat solve the immediate problem, but I'm not sure it's being used properly here. With that said, text rendering is optimized for the current device's DPI, so maybe I'm just reading too much into a screenshot taken at a different DPI.

I love entr! It's been part of literally every development environment I setup since I discovered it.

Re tmux: I have a function in my fish config (used to be zsh) that runs when I changed directories; if there is a `.tmux` script in the new directory, the function looks for a tmux session by the name of the directory, attaching if it exists, and, if it does not, creating a new session by running `.tmux`, which creates a handful of windows with my file watchers, build runners, container managers, etc etc. So all I have to do to boot up a project environment is move into the src directory, and poof — all the scripts that build source, run containers, and restart things on various config file changes get booted up immediately.
