As far as I can tell, most cultures in the world have a tradition of feeding guests and whomever needs a meal. Japan, Greece, Ethiopia, Italy, Britain, Hawaii, etc. I think this is because in many parts of the world, it used to be common for people to go hungry at some point.

If you've gone hungry before, you remember how painful it is. But most of us don't, because we literally have so much food we throw it away. But that's definitely not everyone's reality.

My house only has carpet in the bedrooms, and wood flooring everywhere else. It's so much easier to clean than a fully-carpeted house, no need to worry about accidentally spilling drinks in the lounge or accidentally tracking dog shit through the hallway. Much easier to fix any damage as well.

Best of all, it's much less dusty than a carpeted house, since the floor isn't covered with a giant magnet for dust and crumbs.
Thank you, these are great.
Merry Thanksgiving! Checked the mail today! Got the bill. Hospital bill says ~$31k, insurance adjustments ~-$28k... I owe $3k. Now to look at the EOB and see how that $27k of adjustments breaks down between discounts (maximum they allow for billing) and what insurance is paying after discounts.

Home Assistant is such a solution. It's quite decently polished and supports a ton of devices. Where devices have local APIs, it uses those, so it doesn't rely on vendor cloud services unless there is no choice.

I use it with TP-Link Kasa smart plugs and Broadlink IR blasters, both of which have usable locale APIs, on an isolated WiFi network with no Internet access (it's harder to turn off the cloud stuff for these kinds of things, but as long as I can block it myself I don't care if they try and fail to connect to the cloud).

It’s likely a local anasthetic and simple stitching. Both of these can be found in normal first aid kits, so I would bet that you can legally use it at home.

Even in the hospital, this work was probably done by a nurse with a 2 year degree. You can go to any clinic and have it done. If the kid were at summer camp, they would have probably had the staff nurse do it.

Emergency rooms are both overkill for this, and happily overcharge as well.

We are all talking as if the hospitals performed a dangerous complex procedure and saved the kids life. If so, then isn’t 19,000 a small price to pay? If not (and it’s a simple task as I believe) then why did they charge so much?

Meanwhile my Japanese side-loader sits at a slight angle and never fills up enough to go above the door line, so you're allowed to interrupt the cycle at any point and the door will unlock (after the drum has stopped spinning).

I was just dealing with this insanity a few weeks ago. I eventually settled on using a pre-load of my font in the head element and then immediately afterwards a built-in script element that loaded it into the font family.

And even after this it seemed really inconsistent whether it would wait to display the correct font or load the fallback font then visually hot swap in the correct one depending on the browser and the device used.

> I find that many articles written about Haskell, Erlang and Elixir seem to have no meaning outside of their own narrow domain; they try to present some solutions as some universal insight which is applicable to all languages.

As a developer who does not use Haskell (but understands most of it), let me put it into perspective:

If you write an article about the visitor-pattern or any kind of other OOP pattern, how do you think this is perceived by a developer who ever only wrote assembly?

Yes, they will think in the same way you think right now. This phenomenon has been described e.g. here: https://wiki.c2.com/?BlubParadox

Fact is that from the perspective of a Haskell developer, you are writing unorganized spaghetti code when not using the techniques they write about. In the same way you probably would see an assembly developer writing spaghetti code instead of using OOP techniques.

> I like languages which stay out of my way

Languages that stay out of _your_ way are languages that encourage the style that _you_ are used to. There are no languages that generally stay _out of the way_ because that's not possible and not even desired. So saying this just means "I want a language where I don't have to learn another way of doing things". That's fair, but it should be emphasized.

> my OOP philosophy is so simple, I could explain it to a 10 year old

Many people learn Haskell first and than have trouble learning classical OOP in e.g. Java. And the other way around. What does that tell you?

This reminds me of the WinFall lottery [0], where if no one got a grand prize, the prize money was rolled over to the next week. As a result, if there were enough prizes rolled over to the next week the lottery could actually have a positive expected value, so groups of people started spending millions on tickets in these weeks. The lottery organizers didn't really even care much, since the people spending millions on tickets just increased their profitss.

You are focusing on the trivial narrow case, which is not where the value is. The broad case is reproducing a real-time mirror of some part of the planet in arbitrary detail from data. Reality running on a computer. Nothing you are talking about addresses that. I know all of this tech, I’ve worked with it operationally across many industries.

At its core, spatial computing is about queryable reality. 3D scanning of objects, AR/VR, etc are all adjuncts to this. They are ways of consuming the data model or synthesizing non-real parts, not creating the base model of reality. The latter is the hard part, the rest doesn’t matter in the big picture.

Imagine HTTPS but where the site name and the URL of the resource were in plaintext and only the body was encrypted. That’s what PGP email feels like.

It’s useful for closed circuits though, where you have a group of correspondents needing to prove their authenticity. One company I use will sign their invoices, for example. I’ve never verified the signatures.

I don’t think that’s the case though. What he says he could do this in a weekend, he usually does (for instance, he was annoyed with Powerpoint so much that he made his own slideshow program in about two days of programming time). And when he said he’s gonna build a compiler for his language, he didn’t say it will be quick.

His point with the Windows terminal is that, its a non-problem that people in the 80s and 90s already figured out. And if he really wants to make a terminal with the bare amount of features that he just needs (without the flaws the old cmd program has), he may be able to do so in maybe about a week (he already has code to render TTF text, and he’s probably accustomed enough to the quirks of the Windows OS APIs)
What a poor excuse for news.

> "The four participants have not been accused of any crime. In fact, lottery officials in Indiana, Missouri and the District of Columbia told IndyStar that Montori and Davinroy, like all major prize winners, were vetted before receiving their winnings.

And yet the IndyStar has publicised a heap of personal information about the winners online. Why?
On the tax side, it is favorable.

Under default tax rules, each losing ticket is deductible against the winning ticket's tax.

Under a professional gambler election, each losing ticket is deductible as a Net Operating Loss, which allows deductions against everything and rolls over (and sometimes backwards) as a deduction into different years. Sadly, the tax reform law has severely limited this until 2026.

> Yet, despite that, military spending dominates government budgets in the US.

Only when you ignore the nearly 2/3 of spending that is “mandatory spending” and focus exclusively on “discretionary spending" does military dominate; it's about 1/6 of overall spending; healthcare, which is a major component of mandatory spending and also has some share of discretionary is about a time and half as much.

US has enormous per GDP, and even moreso per capita, defense spending, there's no need to exaggerate it's significance.

> also the risk of a problem leading to water not draining properly, and a flooded room when you go take the laundry out...

My condo has two front-load washers, and I once saw someone start one up, the door lock, and the seal break - so it was spraying water everywhere. These don't have any way to interrupt them, so we got a maintenance guy to unplug it - but the door still didn't unlock, even after plugging it back in. The maintenance guy ended up jerking it open hard (might have broken the lock, don't remember), so the other resident could get their clothes.

I only ever use our top-load washers, which don't have any lock on them.

I’ve had an unacceptably high AFR with all LIFX bulbs, although I’ll concede their support is fantastic at shipping replacements to me. We’ve had about 20-22% failure rate of bulbs within 2 years of ownership, seen across ~60 of them. In addition to that about another 20% have needed factory resetting once or twice in the same period, because they stopped interacting with WiFi and the first-party application in ways that just turning off and on again at the light switch didn’t fix.

In contrast to this we’ve had exactly one Philips Hue fail on us. Also cheerfully replaced for us. None of them have needed resetting and we have about the same # of light fixtures deployed. Probably the most annoying problem is Hue Play’s are prone to coil whine at 100% brightness on on certain scene colors, particularly those involving blue-white (6000K). Resolvable by going < 5000K or dropping to 90% brightness, I haven’t attempted to get warranty replacement for this issue but about 16/22 of my Hue Play’s are affected by the issue.

Integrated with Google Home it’s also common that some % of LIFX bulbs won’t respond to a “turn off all the lights” command, whereas Philips is very good at on/off even when the command involves large numbers of bulbs...
