What exactly do you think “my measure” is?
Living outside of the US, advocating for your own care is actually good. When I lived in Asia you generally don’t question what your doctor says, you just do it.
Great insight - especially the questioning why we do it to ourselves. It is tough creating a business.

I wonder how many others are doing the same journey, but not leaning from the experience, and instead making the same mistake over and over again?
I checked one big ISP, boasting 99% IPv6 coverage, and the IPv6 firewall is opt-in, and considering how many people change their settings...

(For those that might not be aware of it : with IPv6, there's no NAT, since there's no need for it.)
Heat pumps are an efficient way of heating in the winter, and double as AC in the summer.
Fair... I am not sure that changes the idea, though. TeX, as an example, stands as a jewel. Even if it has things we could and probably do criticize today, it has proven ridiculous value.
do you have the link for the original JSON license? It looks remains only "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil."
Isn’t the company holding your money anyway? Seems pretty reasonable to trust them to resolve the markets as best as they can, at least if they seem to be interested in staying in business for a while.
I question the validity of the phrase "voluntary slavery".

I would also argue that the context (USA-based company labor dispute) is enough to anchor the term "slavery" to the very recent and very extreme United States enslavement of Africans. Using the term "chattel slavery" may be a serviceable method for communicating that you are not talking about "that slavery".
I’m very sorry for your loss, and I’m glad to hear you were able to improve your mom’s quality of life in her final days.
Interesting! I didn't know there was a distinction in law between those two terms. I think your definition of "scam" is closer to what I was trying to get at.
Sara Gruen isn't actually dead.

Hey, I have read the discussion between you and insert_coin and I think you have slightly misunderstood what they are saying. From what I see, both of you are for improved lives of the historically-oppressed minorities in America. insert_coin said "I’m not saying do nothing" and I think that points to them disagreeing with the means taken to achieve the desired outcome (i.e. better lives for the minorities).
Easiest solution is just to rename Norway.
With that phrasing, I can't but muse that it is not the sleep that causes issues, but the "starting fresh" in the morning.

Hypothesis being that something about a well rested mind lets a waking person check off more of a list of things to consider first thing in the morning.
I think the term is "science fiction".
I never understood how the health system spends a lot of resources on keeping people alive when things go towards the end but almost mo effort is being spent on keeping people healthy when they are younger. We are constantly being bombarded with bad food, unhealthy work situations which cause a lot of problems like diabetes or depression but as a society we do nothing about these.

In the US, the only controlled clinical setting I know of that performs wake therapy (in the form of "triple chronotherapy") to treat depression is in Chicago: http://www.chicagochronotherapy.com/protocol.html
Those are not healthy behaviors.
I have been living in Japan for a while but I never heard of that before, so I asked my girlfriend and she confirmed that yes, the term exists and Japanese people enjoy it, but:

- It doesn't feel like a particularly Japanese thing to do, walking in the forest is just basic human nature. But you know how everything is instantly 100% cooler if you give a Japanese name to it.

- Japanese forests are full of bears, so be very careful.
These API URLs are completely static and side effect free. We considered using a POST body, but then would lose CDN caching, which would make a difference at xkcd's scale. We also decided that URL length restrictions would not likely matter for real world morse input.

I hadn't considered using a query parameter -- that's a really interesting idea! That seems like it'd have been a more elegant solution than the special cased padding we ended up with.

That's not the case.

A 51 percent attack doesn't allow you to steal bitcoin, if that's what you have in mind.

Amazing that this battle happened almost within sight of land, and yet the wreck is 4 miles down in one of the deepest parts of the ocean. By Google Maps, the Philippine trench is about 20-30 miles offshore from Samar. The slope in that part of the ocean must be extreme, almost a sheer cliff.
I have been building and failing multiple websites/mobile apps since 2006. To this day, I don't think I could ever be in that situation of creating something that somehow takes off.

Theres gotta be a place for failed web/mobile app developers to get together and figure out a way to make it, anyone know of such a place?
Having been through the death of both my parents, my observation is that there is death industry engaged in a giant transfer of wealth from dying people to the medical establishment (who are already very wealthy).

Long term care insurance is a scam. Don't bother. They will find any excuse not to pay. You'll need to go to court or arbitration and the legal fees will eat up any settlement.

When it's my time, I plan to go expediently. No heroic measures, no experimental drug trials. I'd rather my kids inherit what I've worked for in my life than hospitals, doctors, or nursing homes.

This is most 'progressive' parties in first world countries.

Environmentalism, but only so long as it doesn't actually challenge the status quo of our society.

You have the Liberal Party of Canada, which brought in a carbon tax, great, but in order to justify to the public their expansion of oil sands export development. The notion that we would stop pumping oil out of the ground and burning it is unthinkable.

The even more progressive BC NDP also committed to exporting liquified natural gas to be burned in other countries, justifying it with promises of carbon tax increases.

Parties that were considering our climate crisis with due gravity would be doing everything they could to lower CO2 emissions, not taking one step forward, and one step back, and fiddling around the edges.
Has anyone here dove in the great barrier reef? How's it compare to SEA?
Much of Black Mirror is about stuff that's obviously about to happen, a very slightly more advanced or tweaked version of something already happening, or allegory that isn't actually about the future, even if it's set there, but is entirely about right now (the most notable of the last category is probably Fifteen Million Merits).
> And arguably, a society without taxes is also beyond that line.

The argument is not for no taxes, the argument is that taxes are too high. Reducing taxes is definitely achievable.

I'm a little lost... neither of those functions is doing something you would be expected to do in a shell script.

The upthread point was that shell scripts are for coordinating the actions of separate programs run via their command lines and simple IPC like pipes. If that's not what you want to do, shell is the wrong language. If that *is* what you want to do, then you'll find Python and Rust are pretty severely handicapped.
> Sleep deprivation is similar. Missing a night of sleep isn't going to shorten your lifespan or doom you to early cognitive decline. However, depriving yourself of sleep for years on end is likely to produce some negative effects over time.

You have citations to support this? Or are you just recycling Walker’s claims with slightly less exaggeration?
"it holds no more horror than pre-birth" is an excellent way to phrase how I think/feel about it. I wasn't able to be bothered by it then, and I won't be able to be bothered by it when it happens. I'm only able to be bothered by it now, so I mostly choose not to be bothered by it even now.
This one here, officers.
> Eternal peace. I find it comforting in a strange way.

I feel the same way.

But I didn't always feel that way. It took time, a lot of anxiety, a bit of meditation, some drugs, and reading philosophy to get me to the point where I no long really fear death. Sure, the process of dying itself can still be scary, because of the potential for pain. But I'm not really afraid of what comes after.

For OP or anyone else reading this dealing with similar death anxiety: I'd recommend a combination of therapy, philosophy, and some meditation. Psychedelics help some people, but they can also make it worse, so I'd be really careful unless you have a guide that you trust.

The anxiety / fear / angst is a state that arises in your brain and body, as part of the survival instinct. It can also malfunction and kick into a much higher gear. It's possible to sort of re-wire your brain in such a way that it no longer responds to the idea of death in the same way. Your brain shapes your reality, and it's possible to change how you perceive and respond to things. It can just take some work, and maybe some therapy and medication in some cases.
One - that this needs to be is surprising. May be different world views and approaches contribute to this kind of feeling.

Two - you have expressed the sentiment beautifully. I may want to steal it later. Thank you sincerely.
it's the only way
As someone who's always struggled with depression, your view is very strange and alien to me. Ceasing to exist in this hell is near the top of my wish list most days xD

Often, after 24 hours of being awake, I've noticed a weird euphoria on he second morning day. Intellectually quite useless, but nevertheless a kind of bliss. I've always associated it with a kind of 'ignorance = bliss' related to the total inability to mentally linger on the issues of the day. But the types of 'issues of the day' for people who are depressed may be the problem.
Are any of the music platforms iterating the music experience? Seems like so many of them are distracted by podcasts and clubhouse cloning. I can’t think of a significant new “organize music” or “listen to music” feature, thinks like playlists of albums, album tagging, etc.

There is a border patrol show I caught one episode of when visiting family - some guy declared $400k when crossing into Canada. All in a carryon backpack.

Cash was counted and returned to him.
The Zen is not inconsistent with there being different obvious ways to do different, closely related things, and Python has always had those.

The Zen is against alternatives for the sake of alternatives, but not for facilities focussed on different use cases. Though as the use cases get more finely divided, the difference is less peeceptible.

I remember one of my high school theology teachers had a placard placed above the wall with a Russell quote:

> most people would die sooner than think—in fact, they do so
Heretics belonged in the 6th Circle, and Mohammed was in the 8th, so clearly Dante thought he had done something more than just heresy.

> unless you are lucky enough to stumble on a god source the first time.

But how will you even know that it is a “god source” as you so eloquently put it?

Just read a lot. All the time. On a wide variety of subjects. Or, resign yourself to being deceived by charlatans sometimes. No real shortcut here.
It it wasn't for the fact that today/tomorrow is Easter, I don't think I would have responded like this to your comment.

Of course, everyone will have to make their own decision about whether this story is worthy of believing.

But, I feel I would be remiss if I did not point out that the whole point of Christianity, and especially Easter, is that Death is not the end. Christians believe that God who created the entire universe, took on human form. This man who was God in human flesh, Jesus, did all sorts of miracles. Finally, he was publicly executed by the Romans, and buried in a tomb. However, 3 days later, he rose from the dead!

That is what Christians all over the world are celebrating today! That death is not the end, that Jesus conquered death, and because he rose, if we trust in him, we will also triumph over death.

Death is no longer the feared end to everything, but rather just the doorway to enter into a an unimaginably more exciting and fulfilling life.

I don't think anyone captures that sentiment as well as CS Lewis in the final paragraphs of his book, The Last Battle:

"There was a real railway accident," said Aslan softly. "Your father and mother and all of you are—as you used to call it in the Shadow-Lands—dead. The term is over: the holidays have begun. The dream is ended: this is the morning."

And as He spoke He no longer looked to them like a lion; but the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them. And for us this is the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story, which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.

A kd-tree is the generalized data structure that can do log(n) lookups of nearest in any dimensions. I wrote an implementation for nearest to a geographical point years ago (since ported to many other languages): https://github.com/AReallyGoodName/OfflineReverseGeocode

A less generalized solution is to grid things up (quad tree and oct trees) as you implied above but the kd-tree is the generalized solution without edge cases (what if the majority of points of interest end up in a single grid square in your example?). A kd-tree is essentially what a sort list is for one dimensional data but instead supports multiple dimensions.
Everything goes in cycles. All things die and are reborn in some fashion. Not in the Buddhist sense necessarily, but you can't truly end something, just change it so it no longer resembles what it was. You're made of the same stuff as everyone else, and can change to anything. Being sad of losing what you are is only normal, but the alternative of being the same forever is much scarier.
I see this logic a lot, and it doesn't quite sit right with me because it doesn't really address the actual problem, which is:

I'm not as afraid of being dead, so much as I am most afraid of the short time before. Knowing that I'm dying, that soon I will be dead.

And also the finality of it. Pre-birth ended with my birth. Death will never end.
You want to be immortal just to assuage your fear of dying? That seems like a bit of an overreaction.

Ergodicity can be explained very simply.

If you've heard of Murphy's Law, you probably already understand the principle behind ergodicity.

"If there's more than one way to do a job and one of those ways will end in disaster, then somebody will do it that way."

When you increase the number of people doing something, the number of opportunities for that somebody to do it the wrong way goes up. These are the outliers versus the normal state of affairs. These don't have to be positive or even negative, simply improbable.

Given enough players for a lottery, there will be a winner, but there will also be people that randomly get linear sequences of numbers, all primes, etc.

Why this is coming from a throwaway is that this occurs for everything in life, including, for example, schools and police shootings.

These are extremely outlying events when given the absolute number of interactions between students and police. The ergodic space allows for these to occur, and so they do, eventually.

The problem is when people start taking infrequent outlying events as the norm rather than outlying properties of the system itself.

If you give 800,000 cops guns and send them out to interact with the public tens of times per day, they will eventually shoot someone they shouldn't have. This is a normal part of the space but isn't probabilistically normal. The normal state of affairs is that they don't shoot anyone. In the rare case that they do shoot someone, it's generally because they are being shot at.

Equally, if 100 million citizens have guns, eventually one will end up in the hand of one of approximately 7.5 million (probabalistically) male high school students that is willing to use it against other students. This too is part of the ergodic space, but isn't probablistically normal. The normal state of affairs is that school shootings don't happen. The normal state of affairs is that bullied and/or mentally ill students don't seek violent retribution against their classmates.

These are simultaneously improbable and probable events. We know that they occur, but we know that they occur infrequently. Inevitably, given enough rolls of the dice, circumstances conspire to enable extremely improbable events to occur, but these should always be seen as the opposite of the norm.
Of course the eviction moratorium is being gamed
If by faster you mean faster than React I think there is evidence it can be. The author of the issue writes lots of dom utility and rendering libraries and I believe domdiff is more or less what he describes in the post:

https://github.com/WebReflection/domdiff

You can find it placed way above React in the usual JS rendering benchmarks:

https://rawgit.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark/master/we...

Now it's not entirely clear whether these benchmarks convey something meaningful except for maybe the point that most frameworks are quite fast. That being said I think it's developer experience that really stands to improve. Thinking of view as a pure function of state was a great innovation, but existing implementations can end up fracturing the view into virtual doms and non-virtual. Then you end up with problems like D3 and React not coexisting.

I feel like I heard something from the lit-html folks that a long term aspiration was to integrate some learnings from the project into chrome, but I haven't been able to find where again.

There has been a trend in JS with libraries becoming idiomatic to the language to later have the issues they targeted be addressed natively (a la JQuery).

In general, I definitely appreciate your point about adding complexity to the platform, but I think when it comes to web technologies that ship has long sailed. I really see it as an opportunity to bring a lot of simplicity, chiefly filling that void that's birthed a billion JS frameworks.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment.
This is super good, I used to work with Lua for high performance voice SBCs to be able to process SIP/SDP messages. That was the only language that we included in our engine because of its good and cheap parsing capabilities. I would love to give this a try.

Yes, that’s what I’m saying. Just because you went to see some natural wonder and were amazed doesn’t imply that it hasn’t been radically degraded.
I am not advocating for vigilantism, but it seems to me that these kinds of people who are career criminals can only be meaningfully stopped by other criminals.

Police and lawyers are powerless, due to red tape and limitations in the system. So it would seemingly follow that only those who don't rely on legal means of recourse can put a stop to them.

In other words: Batman. This is how you get Batman.

That's interesting. That may be new. I'm pretty sure I used to do 600 at a time, and I know I did 1200 at least once back in college.

Which is hilarious, in a tragic way, because I've almost always ended up as an outlier in most sets of data that I end up in. Nice to know somewhere along the way the powersthat be decided to make everyone's life even more miserably constrained, probably in the name of risk mitigation.
