Orphan sources of radioactivity are pretty common in industrialized world. Most are not really harmful until you start breaking them or cutting them in half. There's Soviet plutonium smoke detectors, luminous radium paint on various gauges (mostly dark today, but its dust is still dangerous if it gets inside the body), even some unmanned boiler rooms used radiation-based water level switches.

There is a notable topic on Russian enthusiast forum, “Stuff you shouldn't touch”:

https://caves.ru/threads/То-что-не-надо-трогать-руками.8503/

There are many examples, mostly from the guy working in the official hazardous materials control in Vladivostok region dealing with radiation alarms on freight trains and scrap metal yards.

(It was pain in the ass to find these, because the forum has switched its engine (and URL format) at least four times, and the Web Archive only sees slashes as meaningful path delimiters, so all the topics on a typical forum are recognized as one big mess of individual web pages that are on the same level of hierarchy.

> StarLink has commercial/military/industrial uses that are already bankrolling the project

These are the obvious long-term customers. But I don’t think they are bankrolling the venture. High-income rural homes are a good beachhead since a partial constellation can deliver 100% uptime to some locations.
Physics simulation is imho one of the things that feel like they should be easy but in reality is really difficult. And not talking about anything super fancy, just basic classical mechanics.

One of my dream projects would be to glue physics engine like Project Chrono[1] with modeling kernel like Open CASCADE[2], and some (FOSS) CAD (solvespace[3]?) to make an user friendly package to be able to setup simple scenes for simulation.

Have you worked with any of the things you listed?

I ask mostly because this is largely a list of words associated with healthcare tech rather than any coherent statement about the complexity.

For example - LOINC, ICD9/10, SNOMED, and RX-Norm are all methods of coding various things. A few of them have overlaps or translations and I’ll agree they are a bit of a pain. But using the same tool to express that a patient had their left hand amputated and to describe the dosage and form of the pain meds they are given doesn’t make sense.

Similarly - Epic, Cerner, All Scripts are companies. They compete. That’s like saying that we only need one news company.

And you’re attacking hl7 v2, honestly outside of FHIR (which my professional involvement largely stopped at dstu2) it’s the least awful. Sure it’s funky and a hair old but it’s fairly easy to work with. I will say I much prefer FHIR but it has its own warts (extensions can be a pain)

There are certainly problems in healthcare but blaming just the tech is akin to blaming the hammer when your house is framed wrong. Sure maybe it was the hammer but maybe the fact that the contractors were drunk was a bigger issue than they tried to use a banana as a hammer.

> Poverty guideline for 2 kids is $26k

Typical grad stipends outside of top-5 schools are closer to $20K.

$30K is damn close to an upper bound. That's what the tippy-top schools pay the top 1% of students. The few schools that go higher -- AFAIK in CS only NYC+Boston+CA -- are in markets where a single bedroom in a shared house runs $1K+/mo. And in that sort of rental market the federal poverty guideline is rote bullshit.

$16K is perfectly normal for the vast majority of folks who aren't at top 5 programs in the most in-demand field.

> But who is getting 30k anyways? If that is the stipend of one grad student, you need to double it to get the household of two grad students

Yeah but then you subtract child care and someone might as well stay home because it's literally costing them money to work.

tl;dr

Root Cause is a new open-source Node.js library, to help you visualize and troubleshoot your E2E Puppeteer & Playwright tests.

Check out our interactive demo: https://github.com/testimio/root-cause-interactive-demo/

At Testim.io - we see the automation projects of thousands of companies and run millions of e2e tests weekly. We saw that it's very hard to debug end to end tests and it's a common reason companies abandon e2e tests.

We wrote "Root Cause" for the community in order to use our expertise from Testim to engage and promote puppeteer and playwright and in order to get better community feedback regarding what we see in tests.

Basically - currently most of the industry does manual QA and we wanted to encourage (in our small way) automation.
Oh well it could very well be for the history books.

Free Pascal comes with Free Vision, a fork of Turbo Vision. I suspect it's still the fanciest TUI library around in terms of what you get out of the box - FP's own text-mode IDE is written using that library.

Turbo Vision was also ported to modern C++, although I'm not sure what the quality of those ports is.

Exactly, that means they do not see any value in closing the gap with Chrome. Servo was this plan that launched years ago. See this paragraph from the above post from 2013

Getting Simple: Ask Me Anything, I'll Be Answering Questions on the Show
I used to have a PersonalWiki (https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://zby.aster.net.pl/kwiki/*) running off my desktop in my living room, but it was too cumbersome to keep my own server especially when I was working abroad. I switched it off, and then my backup drive failed - I have only what was saved in the Archive. Then I had a blog on Blogspot - but Google neglected it and I started to have problems with logging into the blog editor (even though I used gmail constantly) - it still is there: http://brudnopis.blogspot.com/ but I probably cannot access the editor. Then I started a blog at Medium: https://medium.com/@zby It kind of works - but I hate the fact that to be a fully supported author I have to put my blog behind their paywall. I understand the need for a business model - but this one does not work for people like me, who write because they have something to say and not because they try to make money directly from their writing. And I am afraid it is those amateurs who write the best blogs - now the core of Medium writers seem to be some aspiring professional writers who just compile "10 things that ..." or try to build a "story" out of any mediocre thought.

I also started a paper notepad with Zettelkasten method - I have some notes there, but I haven't established an effective habit for it. I'll see how that develops - but I still want to publish my thoughts.

I wish I stayed with my PersonalWiki - I feel a need to constantly add and modify the articles even after publishing them. But the ideal would be something that works like: https://www.gwern.net/About - now I understand the need for a LongSite (https://www.gwern.net/About#long-site).

There are many contenders presented in this discussion here, with lists of features, what is lacking from these analyses is the business models that would give me a feeling of security for my potential LongSite.
I identify a lot with you.

But your paragraphs make it look like this is it. The world is not static. As the other commenter said, you can gently start working out. It's a thing, and it has intrinsic value.

Also, you often can't see yourself attaching to a person long term, because you don't know yourself as well as you think you do. (One should stay away from toxic people though.)

Another thing is that you can start hanging out with people of the opposite sex without trying to get into a relationship. The "friend zone" is largely a myth, not trying to score is incredibly sexy. And lots of friends have hooked up after years as friends only.

Many churches are welcoming of atheists by the way, but you have to stand it yourself, of course. One way could be to not attend service as much as volunteering for their support groups. Volunteers helping out in the community is always in short supply. This goes for non-denominational groups too, of course.

>If you don't live in Sweden any more, how do you make friends with the non-Nordics who moved to one of the Nordic countries and decided to stay there?

I live in Sweden and I upvoted bedobi‘s post. I came here with idealistic notions of what Sweden was supposedly like (also encouraged by the myths perpetuated by many expat Swedes that I met), and became disillusioned with the reality pretty quickly.

Now I hate living here but it’s too difficult to leave with a Swedish wife and kids.

I’d say three-quarters of the people that I’ve known through the years who moved here like me, have left by now.

Also I wish people wouldn't constantly be lumping together all the 'Nordic' countries as though they were an interchangeable entity. They have similarities and share similar languages, but the cultural differences are much greater than outsiders appear to think.

In the case of 'friluftsliv' the Norwegian concept is way more generally about hiking in the wilds. (Affluent) Swedes do often spend their summers in a cottage out in the country, but in my experience this involves a pretty static existence in rural surroundings, and physical activity is mostly restricted to going to whatever beach is nearby (either on the coast or an inland lake). I love walking or cycling in the countryside and I'll rarely meet anyone doing the same unless they're walking their dog close to their house.

When I was in Norway it seemed like way more people were interested in putting on a knapsack and heading deep into the forest.

1) The data you showed literally displays a full blown tidal wave 'second wave' hitting Sweden, 1500 cases/day in a country of 8M people and growing exponentially is absolutely a 'second wave'. Seriously, what are you looking at? That rate of expansion, if not controlled with further social modifications, will overwhelm the country in about 3 weeks.

(Remember that quite some number of people need to be hospitalized, that the hospitals have to refuse other patients, that it will force other lockdowns, and it eventually will trickle to the older people - who will die.)

2) Sweden avoided an 'initial lockdown' but most countries only did a 'lock down' for several weeks. Otherwise, a lot of the de-facto policies have been quite similar. As of 4 weeks ago I suggest Sweden was 'on par' with the rest of the Western world.
Same here. I recall the story of a Texan heiress you bought a golf course in Aberdeen, North Scotland. One day she came across hikers respectfully crossing 'her land' and the golf course. Went out with a shotgun and threatened then while the hikers calmly explained their rights. Eventually she called the police and was promptly arrested herself.
I still find the audio latency unbearable. Yes, most video players do latency compensation, but it often gets out of sync when you switch between wired and wireless output. And for any type of interactive audio, like games and music software, you can’t really do anything about it.

> most of the defenses of the RIAA's actions here don't make any sense.

> wouldn't anybody making the tool then just not do that?

Sure - which is why you're not seeing many ads for tools to steal cars or pick locks. But it's not only about the way the material is promoted, it's also about how it's obtained, whether the seller could reasonably know what it would be used for, and a bunch of other stuff.

You can't look at this from a binary perspective; despite depictions in popular media, the law is typically not about "aha" moments, but rather about putting a number of coherent pieces together to paint a certain picture.
Scotland has Scandinavian style "Right to Roam" and wild camping is very popular - you can camp pretty much anywhere you want as long as you follow some sensible rules (some extremely popular areas near to Glasgow have local by-laws controlling camping - but that's a very small part of the country).

What geographies are they sending these invites to? From Reddit, it sounds like northwestern states of the United States (people in Washington and Idaho have got them).

I wonder if anyone from Australia has got an invite? I get the impression that the answer is no.

It makes sense to me why in early phases they'd restrict it to the US – putting aside geographical issues around where their satellites and ground stations are, restricting it to the US means they only have to deal with one regulator, the FCC; every additional country is another regulator to deal with, and different sets of rules around matters such as privacy, lawful interception, metadata retention, etc.
Bluetooth still isn't perfect for certain use cases. That's why Apple ended up augmenting it for audio.

Apple was an early adopter of the standard. I remember when being amazed at being able to use a Bluetooth keyboard in the EFI!
In other language build environments it's called vendorising and Ruby, Go, and Rust offer tooling to do this for the various benefits (hermetic builds, dealing with down infra, not molesting third party source control, not leaking information about your dependencies to third parties).

I agree with the core thrust of the article, but there are still major shortcomings that are frustrating. Why isn't it possible for my headphones to connect to my phone and computer at the same time. Having to change the connection 100 times a day is so annoying.

But they are certainly leagues better than they used to be. Connections reconnect seamlessly and usually turning on a device is sufficient to get it to reconnect to the thing it was connected to and the UI of various applications has advanced to make things like switching from the headphones to another output much easier.
