>Edge isn't IE. At all. It's a fully modern browser that does everything Chrome does, and them some.

I understand that. I never said anything that implied otherwise. I was curious because Edge has had an IE compatibility mode: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode

> One project I wrote a whole subsystem to do a particular thing. On a revision of the OS they had the same thing but way better. Tossed out every line of code I had written and used that. But without writing that thing I would not have know if it was worth it or not.

This sounds like it could be a good story to learn from if you wrote it out.
(pre-rant: Why do people post medical articles on HN? If you say anything in response to them, you get downvoted because you're not a scientist/doctor/yada yada.)

Having said that: people w/ MTHFR mutations are cautioned against nitrous during general anesthesia:

https://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S0034-70942019000600637...

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18008117/

It's funny, most people, even doctors, don't yet seem to know anything about MTHFR, but my son's dentist knew this (he has heterozygous mutations on 677 and 1298; I am homozygous 677) - so when I brought up MTHFR, she knew what to do - give him kiddie xanax rather than nitrous. I thought I was going to have to fight her about it, but nope.

(also: i know this article is about local anesthesia, i'm making a more general comment about anesthetics and complications)

As a former member of Local 600 - saying “the entire pool of workers unionized” is inaccurate. A significant number of feature films are produced ever year with non-union crews. They may or may not know what they’re doing, but they exist. I worked on them prior to joining the Cinematographer’s Guild (you have to start somewhere).

Also of note, the various film industry unions were largely created back in the day when unionization was generally more popular in society. They have remained strong - like steelworkers - because the protections are worth joining, apprenticeship and training is available/valuable, and the working conditions are often potentially hazardous. People Don’t realize, but industry workers get injured/die every year on movie sets (though it is better than it used to be).
I ended up on a several hour car ride with an anesthesiologist, he mentioned that Dentists are often grandfathered in, and often end up doing serious procedures without an anesthesiologist involved. So while they are focusing on the procedure heart rate, breathing rate, O2, etc aren't monitored nearly enough.

Apparently getting panicked calls from dentists was not unusual. In one particular case a 18 year old woman wouldn't wake up, he helped as much as he could, but she was never the same.

Morale of the story, don't let a dentist put you under without an actual anesthesiologist involved.

My stutter has been my primary source of stress/anxiety for that last 12 years. Its impacted my time in college and then later at Grad School. I've had good days and bad (more good days lately), but i'll never forget the terror I used to feel whenever I had to present something in front of other people.

I skipped classes to avoid doing that, i bombed many a presentation because I had trouble with certain sentences and it impacted my grades. I think not being able to make the best of time in grad school is something I can get over eventually, but a bigger regret I have is not being able to make meaningful connections with my peers in school because I'd avoid hanging out with people because of my anxiety over my stutter. In a way it almost feels like I never experienced

I still have issues with words starting with "A" which is unfortunate since my name starts with an A. I still speak really quickly which i think comes from a habit of trying to get through speech quickly to get it over with.

I do believe that a lot of it is mostly because of my anxiety as I speak just fine when i'm relaxed, and I've been trying to work on using different words when I feel like certain phrases/words will cause problems.
I think Mozilla should have worked on a cloud application suite, like Google and Microsoft have. And possibly they could have done a better job extending it into an ecosystem for other application providers. This is very natural for the company that invented javascript and is a leading contributor to web assembly. It also would have had excellent revenue potential.

You don't need to ban math to ban e2e encryption in the same way you don't need to ban physics in order to ban murder. You pass a law making it a crime to develop or use e2e encryption algorithms, and punish those who don't follow the law extremely harshly. The rest will comply because they'll be scared to be punished.
N4000 at least is OOO. I'm pretty sure the 330 was the early core that was (to my understanding) more like a p5 than p6 in design, In order but with HT.

A lot of low power cheapie cpus from the era of the N4000 have similar trade offs, if it makes you feel any better. I had a 4 core AMD Jaguar based thing from that era and it was similar, except while number crunching was decent the single channel for memory bandwidth kneecaped anything that taxed the integrated video card or cpu too much.

I will still never understand that decision for Jaguar on mobile. If it was a cost concern why not bin? Or was the worry that with 2 channels it would make Bulldozer look worse than it already did? (My personal theory, based on my experience with a 2 core 3ghz dozer part...)
> "how much is a language used", as an inherent quality metric for a programming language.

Define quality. Because what I've realized with the PL-elitist crowd is this almost always boils down to "the ability to be expressive" which is fine but it certainly isn't a complete metric, and, to borrow a common refrain, we've had expressive languages in the 70's as well, we've had s-expressions for a while now. What about other metrics, such as "ability for mass amounts of programmers to program the computer to do the correct thing?" and "ability for programmer to maintain said program?" -- you know, real world quality. My point is, people's usual quality metrics are often incomplete or narrowly defined.

In either case, if Go is so primitive, then why didn't the 70s produce a language like Go? Why did developers who created languages, operating systems, and systems software in the 70s not make Go until the 2000s (you do know who created Go, right?)

I just don't buy this argument, especially having used those "advanced" type systems for many years, sorry.

I strongly disagree.

I have a small lathe and mill sitting in my office right now. With those, I have everything technically necessary to build a Garand. Don't get me wrong - it would take a long time, and I would have to make substantial improvements to my tooling - I'd need to build a button rifling machine, for instance - but I have everything necessary to bootstrap production of M1 Garands in my office.

No amount of time or hacking would let me produce the fabric necessary for disposable N95 masks. I'm quite confident of this - I worked on the issue for quite a while, as I was unemployed at the beginning of this pandemic. The best solution I found was making filter cartridges for existing reusable respirators from HEPA furnace filters and 3D printed parts.

A good friend has pretty much the same profile you describe.

What has worked best for him is developing a habit of being very open about it, e.g. explicit stating to new people "I have a stutter". This would remove the tension around hiding something. In general hiding feelings tends to be bad for humans.
My cousin lost her sense of taste after a routine dental surgery, removing her wisdom teeth. My sister also lost hers while removing her wisdom teeth (different dentist) but recovered after a few weeks taking some vitamins prescribed by the dentist.
That strategy worked well for me, although I wasn't actually trying to ignore the requests. I just got a lot of requests and wasn't organized about them, so some things fell through the cracks.

That said, I would push back on things that I was definitely not going to do. For some things, that's person A can do this; for others that's if you can find someone to do this, ok; for some it's I'm not going to do this unless my manager or the CEO personally asks me to; for others it's I won't do this, and I won't deploy it, and I'll unmerge it if it's done by someone else. And always try to give people an idea of when to remind me if I haven't done it.

It could be because:

a) It's not uncommon these days for the term "Marxism" to be used as a brush to paint anyone "too left wing" (despite not being close to actual Marxists)

b) "Cultural Marxism" has become an antisemitic term https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_th...

Plus, yes there are still some people in the world who believe in Marxism, although often just in a broad sense rather than thinking everything about it is right. But I doubt many on HN.

And while complaining about downvoted may be against the rules, personally I think it's completely fine in the context of wanting to understand something like your question, rather than "this shouldn't be downvoted".
Refactoring databases with sqlite-utils extract
Cold can kill, viral pneumonia is real as our current pandemic can attest to. There's certainly a market to cure all sorts of viral illness. Take tamiflu as an example. Most people if they get a flu will use it once a year to reduce symptoms. Imagine a drug that would reduce all symptoms of cold that you take every time you get cold symptoms. That's potentially billions of dollars in revenue each year.

This is it. They don't intend to stop use of encryption, but it does give them probable cause to investigate or arrest you if you are caught using encryption. It's a tool of law enforcement to get around "blocks" like needing a warrant, etc.
This doesn't make much sense when you think about the context of the original work you're quoting.

Niemoller was writing about a fascist government. Fascism is inherently built on an "us-vs-them" conflict. The details may change, but a key point is there's always an enemy who is responsible for everything that's wrong with the world. When fascists take power, they set out to get rid of the enemy. Then they find that didn't actually fix anything, so they splinter away some of their former in-group and make them the new enemy.

That is what fascists groups in power must do, because of course everything is much more complex than they claim. Nothing is ever as simple as "if we get rid of that group of undesirables, everything will be great", no matter who those undesirables are. Socialists? Capitalists? People who post on HN? Any other group you might name? The answer is never as easy as "those people are bad."

There doesn't need to be a slippery slope from whatever the government wants to outlaw to everyone being a criminal. It depends on the structure and goals of the government. In a fascist state, yeah it's pretty much guaranteed. In the US? Well, we're a muddled mix of everything with a very mixed record and uncertain future, but at least we're not a fascist state. There isn't a guarantee that any step leads to a next step.

So it really isn't analogous to the situation the original work was describing. And it's not really constructive to weaken its point by making jokes applying it to this situation, given the point it's trying to make. But maybe the fact that so many people don't understand the context means it's already too late.
Please don't attack a straw-man. I agree with you: they are "searching for new hit products" -- that's in fact what I wrote above. But that's what profit-seeking businesses do. Is Mozilla a profit-seeking business, or is it a non-profit, or is it neither, or is it both? Is Mozilla truly trying to "put people before profit," as its website currently claims?[a] The answer today, I think, is no. "Sustainability" (i.e., profit under a different guise) is the overriding goal.

I've had the exact same experience following minor surgery, for which they 'kindly' offered to do under general anesthetic. And now rely extensively on notes like you (anki, in fact). Never needed to jot stuff down before that. Learned entire libraries of piano music by heart just by hearing. Used to be able to be able to hold the positions in my brain to calculate 5-6 moves ahead in chess within seconds; now I can barely do 3, regardless of how much time I try to spend on it. Thing is, I'm still very academic, so nobody would believe me; if I'm already good at something and I complain that it feels half-capacity, people don't take too kindly to that. Plus, people are always too quick to put things down to ageing etc. So I guess I've learnt to live with it; extensive notes it is.
thanks Dan!

Well, that solves my problem!
Agree.

There is a sad, almost Catch-22 in the typical U.S. city where you need a car to make money and need money to buy a car.

When I was unable to afford a car though I was able to find a (minimum wage) job and a place (well, room) to rent within a reasonable bicycle ride. (Yay, I did have a bicycle still from my high school days!) I did succeed though (was even able to begin college at a small community college — rode to my classes via bicycle).

The first thing I bought though after food, rent, tuition and books was a rust-bucket of a car so that I had more choices in employment. (Sucks that gas, repairs, insurance, and registration then ate even more of my paycheck, but that's another rant.)

To be sure, I still now experience discontent, anxiety, stress and other things in life even though money is no longer making my choices for me. But, yeah, money is not the one calling the shots.

It's easy to in fact look back on those impoverished times and feel like they were somehow less stressful, and I felt less anxiety and discontent then than I have in the decades following. I'm not sure if that's the big lie we tell ourselves or if instead it is correct: either because money then was such an overarching issue that all other issues had to "get in line", or because when life boiled down to work-school-rent there really were no other 2nd-order "Maslowian" needs that I could be bothered to trifle with.

I'm actually a bit disappointed their next game is set in the Lovercraftian Amnesia universe. Before the SOMA released I considered the Penumbra series to be above Amnesia, despite the later being the one which gave them recognition, and after SOMA I'm convinced they are much better at sci-fi horror than at cosmical/mythological one.

Although maybe the reason is that I find the Penumbra/SOMA setting to be much more believable and therefore unsettling.
But the question is also: which college?

It's a fine view that nobody should be denied great education, but if an entire country's annual cohort of high school diploma recipients all applies to the public college considered to be the best one they obviously couldn't all attend that one.
