This is how much the complete insurance covered hospitalisation & surgery costed for my late father (RF tumour ablation) including tests and medicines. Key thing here in India is that there is no objection in use of generics - in one case, I was looking for a medicine which would cost me around 10 USD for a blister pack, the chemist looked at me and gave a generic one which costed around 2 USD. Hospitals tend to consider tests done at outside labs which may be done at lower cost (case to case basis). Surgeries conducted/ consultations provided on daily basis per doctor vastly outnumber as compared to US. Price breakups are clearly provided (and can be compared easily) and you pay for exact tests or consumables as prescribed. From where I live currently, thanks to the government capping, COVID-19 test costs between 10 USD to 35 USD, you are free to pick where you want it to be conducted and get the same results.

Seems kinda mean spirited. I guess if that’s what makes you happy?
Even if that was true, the people who are suffering the most in those high birth rate countries have very little they can do to alleviate that suffering. If there are major changes that could be made in a political system to drastically improve it, and they haven't been made, that is a sign that we are very far from utopia, once we ask ourselves "why hasn't that happened yet"? Either it's not that easy or simple, or it is, and the people with the capability to make those changes are unwilling. The former invalidates one of the assumptions behind that reasoning, and the latter tells us that rather severe injustices are occurring.
This thing is magical! I use it as a quick scientific paper finder.
Basically have a folder with, probably thousands by now, papers (each file's name contains paper title, authors, year, journal) and by typing a couple words can fuzzy search for stuff by whatever fields.
It also works incredibly nicely with vim as a fuzzy search for either files or phrases within files.
>> agricultural revolution was the worst thing to happen to humans

I think its an outrageous statement because having an abundant supply of food is unquestionably good. It's allows us to not worry about food supply and focus on other problems in our society.

We can have full-time scientists, doctors, police etc.

I think its outrageous to say everybody should be gathering food all day because they can't find anything more useful to do.

There is so much around us that needs doing!
I think it is a confusing name because "Docker Distribution" sounds like a distribution of the Docker daemon and/or client, not the container registry.

If they called it something like "OpenHub", "OpenRegistry", whatever – those may be boring unoriginal names, but would have made it more obvious at first glance what exactly it was

Poetry is pretty much a Setuptools replacement, with optional features to help manage Python virtual environments.

It's not a package manager and it does not provide any environment isolation of its own. Conda provides both of those things, and quite a bit more.

They are totally different tools. Conda is more like Homebrew than Poetry.

What Poetry and Conda have in common is a not-really-bad dependency resolver.

I think a lot of people are reading this as "technology is bad" which is totally off base. I very much agree with your sentiment- technology is obviously very useful and I literally owe it my life from my first breath (emergency c-section), but it is only as just and good as is allowed by its distribution and implementation. It's like saying "hammers are not inherently utopian"- of course they aren't, but they are damn useful. It's an important insight, and I always feel concerned when it sparks so much controversy.

To the extent that our experiences differ, I'd bet that things resolve in my favor for these cases. In other words, the vast vast majority of encounters that this article describes are ones involving people with very low incomes or without housing (68% of calls were in this category) rather than people who have private insurance.

We've had a program like this in Eugene Oregon for 30 Years. It's the model a lot of other programs follow.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/this-town-of-170000-replac...

They handle most non-violent 911 calls which cops would end up handling. Things like people walking into a business naked or sleeping in the doorway of a business, these guys get called. It's a big percentage of 911 calls in any city where you have homeless people.

Usually they can help people out, but if people do get violent or belligerent, they call for police backup. That's pretty rare.

Overdoses, sick homeless people, people shouting random shit at people in front of businesses, pretty much anything non violent, these guys talk them down give them a little help, drive them to a clinic, or whatever they need. It's a lot cheaper and more humane than arresting them.
If the mental health personnel can't resolve the issue on their own they call for police backup to make arrests. The fact there were zero arrests means the mental health personnel were able to handle every case they encountered.

I agree it's worded strangely.

I think it’s one thing to have fun programming as a hobby, another to do it as a job. I learned that gradually over the years going from “it’s fun to build toy games” up to a prod code base is a big leap. And you might enjoy programming, but not want a job as a software engineer.

As a software engineer you have to:

- often focus on maintenance and refactoring over long stretches of time

- develop some knowledge of the domain you’re working in (like biomedicine vs educational apps vs language learning vs ...)

- be able to communicate ideas and build partnerships with other programmers, not the least of which yourself in 6 months when you revisit that code base

- interact a lot with non programmers to get the job done (UI designers, product managers, etc)

- compromise to your orgs development standards (languages, frameworks, etc)

- possibly be on call to support your project

And the list goes on...

I’d say there’s a pretty wide gap from the projects that got me into programming and what I do now as a full time software engineer. But I like all the things above too, as it means I’m building software for a sizable user base that will get real value from it...
Watcha gonna kill that buffalo with? You don't have arrows, spears, traps.

You don't have technology.

Don't think those things are simple, either. Go out into the local woods and try building yourself a fire without matches. Try making an arrowhead. Try making yourself a stone knife. Try making a clay pot.

Good luck.

This seems too hard to evolve.

I'd instead aim for a language that supported interface/trait/typeclasses with a huge standard library of those that allowed writing uniform benchmarks and unit tests to every implementation that shipped simple implementations for some of those and made it easy to use different implementations and experiment with them.

This seems like solving just dependency injection instead of trying to solve every library ever, which seems a much more realistic problem to solve correctly, or at least in a way better way.
Nobody talks about how difficult it actually is to commit mentally ill people in many places.

Case in point, San Francisco, where severely mentally ill homeless people abound, many of whom who cannot look after themselves, and are left to suffer and die in the street out of respect for their civil liberties. Or those who terrorize neighborhoods for years on end, and everyone looks the other way out of respect for their civil liberties.

Civil liberties are important, but prioritizing civil liberties to an extreme, above all else, is often harmful for the individuals they’re supposedly serving.
Intel sells Optane, which is SRAM for the modern era. It's kind of tricky to get anything out of it (edit: besides using it as a really fast disk, which is what it's currently treated like) without bespoke software, as it's neither disk (byte-addressable!) nor RAM (persistent!). Linux kernel support is experimental and ongoing. It's coming, but it's not here yet.

It's also $3000 per TB, triple the price of DDR4, and not much faster.

Well, yes, we'll never be perfect. I'm talking about a relative improvement, but it's a huge relative improvement that we've had. The fact that you had to use malnutrition instead of starvation, shows how far we've come.

Be careful of articles that identify something as the biggest category. It's usually a trick to mislead people. Which category is biggest depends on how you choose your categories. If a person is malnourished, and that causes them to suffer worse from the flu so they die, was their death due to malnourishment or disease or a virus or the flu or the 2020 flu? Or what if there were two types of malnourishment classified separately (say lack of protein and lack of vitamins)? Suddenly neither of them would likely be number 1 because they'd both be smaller categories. The article doesn't explain any of that so it's safe to assume that it's misinformation even if technically correct in some way.

Why would it have too be a pornapp in App Store? Apple allows movie players which play any movies of the right data format (mp4, etc). Why not a VR player with data files obtained elsewhere? The game consoles already have VR playing capability for VR formatted data files (e.g. Wipeout on PS4). As long as a book is either pdf or epub it can be trivially read regardless of content. I don't see an issue here.

That said. This isn't what the people in this program do. They help people. Give them a ride to a shelter, give them a little food and some water. Give them a little mental support and somewhere quiet and safe to be for a little while.

I read through this piece and the web.dev one, and I'm still confused between SameSite=Lax and Strict. Two-part question:

If I want a cookie to be only sent in requests from a page on https://mywebsite.com to https://mywebsite.com/internal/..., but not from any other origins, should I use Lax or Strict?

If I use HttpOnly cookies and Access-Control-Allow-Credentials=false on https://mywebsite.com/internal/..., does that make SameSite irrelevant? Would there be a security risk even if SameSite=None? Is the only security risk related to <img>?
Although I see both sides, I personally lean towards finding that type hints improve readability. And since I tend towards consistency, that ends with most/all functions being typed.

Though I spend most my time writing Swift code, which definitely influences my preference.
Now think about which side wants to do this and which side wants to stop them.

And then? Instead of lumping people into "sides" like some seem to want us to do because they benefit from conflict, we can ask "Okay, the party can't be reasoned with, but what about the people?" I'm not denying there are politicians and pundits and whatnot who do everything they are accused of. I'm saying we can try to ignore them and focus on human connection with the people who follow them out of tradition but don't fully agree with them. Do you have any ideas for how to start doing that?

SpaceX and Tesla reinvented many things and 90% of the time it worked out. Turns out reinventing manufacturing wasn't as easy.

But it also has to be said that since Tesla has come up with a lot of new solutions that nobody else is using. Meta Casting being a nice manufacturing example.

Its easy to shit on somebody for doing something new, but that very sprit made it possible for Tesla and SpaceX to shake up their industries in the first place.

If Tesla had done everything like other car companies, they wouldn't be close to were they are today.

Probably can cut that down further due to :

* People's vision getting worse with age

* Each OLED pixel consists of 4 subpixels, so may only need to reach that acuity at sub pixel resolution

* Acuity drops and eyestrain increases at the edges of vision so likely only need maybe 75% of our range U/D L/R at the highest resolution, and the outer edges can have much lower resolution

Other hacks for foveated rendering include rendering peripheral vision at lower resolution and monochromatic, and not rendering in the blind spot, since our brains will just fill in those areas. May not be worth the complexity, but there's a lot of hacks that could take advantage of our visual system's quirks. I imagine ray tracing makes these hacks even easier to implement.

"According to Marcia Tucker, The New Museum’s director, "‘Bad’ Painting” is an ironic title for good painting, which is characterized by deformation of the figure, a mixture of art-historical and non-art resources, and fantastic and irreverent content.

> high birth rates and could reduce poverty straightforwardly.

If humans produce more than they consume over their life, then reducing the birthrate would increase poverty. Your suggestion implies that additional humans are worth less than nothing, but that doesn't seem to be true, at least not in the many countries that have both growing populations and economies. Is there some country that's getting both bigger and poorer because its people can't support themselves?
