Yeah because those countries often allow someone to be turn themselves in and then offer the accused freedom of movement for 250 dollars (10% bail).

Oh wait they just poison (Russia), disappear (China) or hang (Iran).

Are there problems in the US? Oh certainly. But don't belittle the activists in authoritarian countries by saying someone who was arrested for downloading PII is somehow equivalent to poisoning members of an opposition party.
Speak for yourself please. Respectfully, this level of cynicism is not shared by everybody.
Cash is easy for simple informal transactions (e.g. garage sales, farm stands and the like) and where connectivity is poor or nonexistent.

A lot of the alternatives involve unnecessary infrastructure (e.g. PayPal etc have various controls to block money laundering, which isn't the purpose of your once-a-decade garage sale) or are siloed, making it hard to quickly do business with someone who has a different brand of phone or doesn't have the right app installed.

And asynchronous transactions are hard (I used to buy a newspaper by leaving a quarter on a board and grabbing a paper...and this setup was next to a busy subway station!). And farm stands are often simply goods left out on the honor system.
I think we're talking about different things.

I would be interested in a way based on coding theory that solves the problem in the blog-post.
Something of a form similar to this one would be a solution to me:

def find_missing_number(nums: List[int]):
# 1. Define some code C (possibly using nums)
# 2. Encode a message using C (or interpret nums as a word or codeword)
# 3. Do something with the word
# 4. Find the locations of the errors in the word
# 5. The locations of the errors tell us the missing number(s)

The answer on stackoverflow seems to use methods very related to RS decoding, however I can't quite squint enough at it to see, whether it could actually be solved using the exact same methods in RS decoding.

That's why keeping in mind the difference between legalization and decriminalization is important.
This is not that plausible as an analysis of the role of chargemasters.

I agree that the chargemaster prices are fake, but what you are proposing is:

Hospital: "Our insurance partners pay us a fraction x of Chargemaster charge X, so let's make C larger."

The insurer understands the game being played here, just like you do. It's not like the insurer doesn't also realize just like you do that the chargemaster price is fake.

The insurers are not going to say "Oh C got bigger this year? Well, let's pay more!"

More important are failures of competition in the marketplace, especially consolidation on the hospital side (most markets are now served by large hospital systems, so insurers cannot plausibly threaten to exclude hospitals from networks), the lack of exposure of consumers to most of the price, and the lack of incentives on the consumer side to search for cheaper prices (plus a general lack of any information about which facilities might be cheaper).
President Obama's DOJ broke the asylum system by allowing local non-state crime or poverty to be grounds for claiming asylum. This change triggered the family/children caravans and general flooding of the border with women and children.

Because a person is capable of determining good produce from bad produce and make informed decisions when purchasing groceries.

The same is not true for healthcare. Even when purchasing shelter, people are not sufficiently informed to be able to make a good decision, hence the existence of electrical, plumbing, and structural codes and inspections.

With healthcare, people are extremely uninformed. The costs are extremely high. The government doesn’t necessarily need to vet the doctors’ diagnoses and prescribed remedies, but they could. So could insurance companies, which is what currently happens in the US.

I'd guess that most instances with several thousand users will be around for quite some time. There are lists that show that.

Most instances have a public page you can check out to see the instance's vibe. EG https://mastodon.xyz/public , https://fosstodon.org/public

Once you've found a new instance, you can transfer your followers to it. This Feditips page tells how to move your 'mutes, blocks etc'.

https://mstdn.social/@feditips/105317854827203241

Remove that number at the end and there are a lot more Feditips. One tip: you can easily subscribe to any Mastodon account through an RSS reader ... add '.rss' to the account's public page, there's your feed!
Indeed! I somewhat over-use this in Rust to initialize an immutable variable with mutating code.

let var: Vec<u32>; // this one is immutable, will be initialized later
{
let mut var_; // mutable
… // initialize var_ with some mutating code
var = var_; // now move var_ to var, initializing the latter
}

You have to keep in mind that med school and the equivalent of premed in germany is completely free. Of course that does not make up for the pay difference completely but it changes the perspective quite a bit imo, since med school in the US is extremely expensive.
Additionally I could totally see doctors being ok with less pay for the trade off of living in a more fair system.
Coincidentally I know one expat here that specifically does not want to return to the US to become a doctor there for that very reason. She specifically does not want to move back because she feels the healthcare system in the US is unfair and she would be profiting off of that system.
I worked actively to create one using a modified version of this guide: https://tulpanomicon.guide/faqman-creation.html. This is very antiquated now. A better guide would probably be this one: https://tulpanomicon.guide/methos-creation.html, which represents the "state of the art" for creating tulpas.

At first she manifested as a presence. I could feel that she was there, but we weren't able to communicate in anything other than "head pressures" (I have no idea what they actually are but "head pressures" is the least bad descriptor). We used that to work out yes and no, then from there we used a modified nonverbal communication card to get simple sentences. The breakthrough into full sentences happened when I was working on a homework problem in college and I got told "no, that's wrong" and then an explanation of how to do it correctly. She was right.
> Sure, that was my point: s:sub(#s-2,#s-1) != s:sub(-2,-1) — if # works on s at all :)

And why would they ever be the same? Writing "#s-2" you're treating -2 as a relative _offset_, not an index.

> Basically, some things are more "natural" with 1-based counting, but some aren't.

Yes, offsets are naturally zero-based, and indices (everywhere other than languages derived from the C tradition) are naturally 1-based. The reason why C and its descendants use zero-based indexes is because C mixes indexes with offsets (since offsets are the low-level primitive in machine language), so that given a pointer p, we have that p[i] and p+i are the same.

If instead C had not done that and used 1-based indexing like everyone else back then, I'm sure people today would be claiming how C is superior for providing both 1-based indexing with [] and 0-based offsets with +, since there are always scenarios where one leads to more natural expressions that the other, and how people mixing them up were clearly not suited for the subtleties of low-level programming in C, and should be instead using simpler languages with garbage collection and without pointer arithmetic. :)
Eh it depends on what you're doing with it. If you're doing some kind of convolution type thing that is going to access a whole lot of nearby pixels in all directions, it doesn't really matter.

Also there are times I like to store "images" such that accessing image[x,y] yields (x,y) as if the image were placed in the 1st quadrant, which makes code easier to read and more intuitive. In that case the outer irritation being x-wise and the inner irritation being y-wise is faster. I absolutely hate those irritating image[height-y, x] type bullshit appearing all over my code. If you want readability image[x, y] should be (x,y) with the origin at the lower left as it always is in grade school. (I hate the people who invented matrices for putting 0,0 at the top left and inverting the y-axis.)
If you donate to political ideas that are unpopular a year later, a twitter mob of ideologues will destroy your career, à la Eich:

As an example, in our C++ codebase at work we always place mutex locks inside their own scope blocks along with the critical sections of code they’re synchronizing. Helps readability and the scope determines when the mutex is released.
I sympathize. I don't know what kind of procedure you underwent. If the blurry vision comes form an irregular anterior corneal surface, scleral lenses can be a game-changer. Also, cellular therapy could be an option in a few years, you're not condemned to another surgery with a little bit of luck. Don't hesitate to write me if you need an informal, general advice.
I agree, it's a nuanced issue. IMHO, the pandemic was heavily exacerbated by technosolutionism (air travel), which makes this sort of analysis difficult. At this stage in society, it's basically "is technology the solution for problems created by technology?" That's been a long-running debate with no clear answer.
Most bugs happen at the boundaries between what different people are working on. They're often process and architecture issues rather than programming issues. Security bugs often have this flavor.

I've never come across that. Do you have any examples? There are hundreds of thousands of non-well-known domains that people use for email.

It could be that your domain was missing expected setup, like SPF records, or you ended up on a blacklist somehow.

My favorite trick is the XOR one time pad. XOR anything (text, images, etc) with a random pad or "key" the same length as the data your are encrypting... and you've got an completely unbreakable cipher.

Just be careful as with any one-time-pad cipher. The key needs to be the same length as the data, generated randomly, and you can only use it once... no key reuse ever.
MuseScore 4.0 I hope will help my workflow.

I usually am working with just a keyboard, bass and I handle the rythmn seperately.

To do my melody I find Muse Score to be way slower at producing MIDI. I actually use ABC Notation in VIM. I can do a whole song in under 5 minutes after using this for years. Its all texted based and as a old programmer I prefer the text to the GUI. I don't have an symphony and so that is why it is over kill for me.

ABCNotion is just a text based notation program. Once I have that I can just move it to whatever format I want.

Even that is becoming more and more rare. The makeup of a 30-checkout supermarket here (Sweden) is probably 20 self-checkout, 5-no-cash manual ones and 5 that can handle cash.

Many if not all small businesses like hotdog vendors, flea markets etc have completely dropped cash because it's expensive and inconvenient.

Once the costs of cash management is higher than that of cards or digital transactions, there is no incentive.

It's easy to say "we need cash for privacy" but if people are doing better business without cash, it's hard to convince them.

Agreed, the XOR trick is just a clever trick that might be useful in some esoteric niche cases, but otherwise don't bother. GCC will even optimize away the XOR operations when this is used for simple things like ints on amd64. I did a simple compile test, and with -O1 and higher I got identical machine code for the XOR algorithm and the naive swapping version. Without optimization I did get the XOR instructions, but the number of machine instructions was longer than for the naive case, and the number of CPU registers used was the same.

A long time ago, when I was poor and underinsured, I had a medical situation that required imaging. The doctor’s office said they had the machines on prem, but they couldn’t give me any kind of price break. So he sent me to a specialist. Signing in to the specialist, they told me that the cash up front discount was 75%, and that even a hint of having to deal with insurance companies was going to mean a higher effective out of pocket.

Practically any US medical practice is going to have huge staffing overhead for the people who maintain the accurate billing records and wrangle with insurance companies.

I can directly compare with the French system: Doctor has a receptionist, you pay him cash right there on the spot, and he’s very limited in what he can do. E.g. he has to send you to the pharmacy to buy your shots, but he’ll administer them.
When it’s all done, you fill out a crapload of forms, staple all the receipts to the stack, and your employer (via insurance) returns somewhere between 60-80% of it.

I have long maintained that moderate reimbursement for outpatient care would be a huge improvement for the US. At the same time, there’s a fairly large entrenched interest that wouldn’t like this at all.

>can't understand generics

Is this really true? We learned about generics in college so I assumed that everyone knew it (especially if they work at Google).
It saddens me a little bit that a nascent protocol like arrow flight is using grpc + protobufs behind the scenes with some hacks on top to skip the cost of deserializing protobufs. It seems like a really common belief that protobufs have so much engineering time behind them and are cross-language that it's a no brainer to implement your new protocol on top of them.

In reality, all the engineering and optimization time is behind the implementations for the google internal languages, and even the python protobuf implementation is pretty bad.

Protobuf makes some stunningly bad decisions like using varints, etc that you shouldn't make the immediate assumption "google has tons of great engineers, google uses protobuf for everything internally, therefore, protobuf is a good foundation to build my new thing on top of"

In reality, path dependence and the (amazing) internal tooling ecosystem at google both play a huge part of why they use protobuf so extensively.

(Grpc is a little overly complicated to be a universal recommendation, but I could believe it's a good choice for Arrow Flight. But it seems like they didn't do grpc + arrow or grpc + flatbuffer + arrow in the hopes that "dumb" grpc + protobuf implementations would be able to still benefit. In my opinion, grpc implementations are so coupled, there's no reason to make this unnecessary concession to protobufs)

You've never traveled around and used cash because you are at a small shop of some kind with no ATM around? I guess you welcome the Great Reset then.

I'd like to see you spell out what these are and how her efforts are harming them rather than, you know, being shitty attempts in the first place that no reasonable person would have thought would work.

Not any efforts, but this is an effective way to point out that the current efforts aren't working as well as virtually any other part of the world is able to do. I'd imagine copying the efforts from those parts of the world would be a reasonable thing to do.

Xaml was released two years before Backbone, and only
five years before React. It’s a contemporary of those efforts not a predecessor.

And according to the ECIS, it was created in part as a poison pill for the web UI platform. Not sure if you were around in the early part of the web’s history but Microsoft had a demonstrated pattern of using pseudo-standards to destroy competitors.

But I guess, I am left unsure of what you’re suggesting. That Facebook should have ported XAML to the web instead of creating React? That would have been... faster? Better?
