It's no longer about preventing the upcoming catastrophes, it's merely about softening their impact now. The sooner we act decisively, the better.
If money wasn't so darn sacrosanct that you absolutely cannot destroy or create even a fraction of a cent... the solution would be to just use floats.

I know it's a big no-no, but I find it odd that we can live with limited precision in scientific computations (even have to), but can't when it comes to money.
>> call stack

>strace -k

>> specific file

>strace -P path

That strace can do it too is fine and all, but the Windows ProcMon collects a trace that you can then filter, like Wireshark. So it enables a workflow where you have no idea what's going on, collect a trace, and discover what entry to focus on and what paths to filter for. (This is what I demonstrated in the msys issue link I posted.)

An equivalent workflow is possible with strace too of course; pipe `strace` to a file and then discover what paths you want to grep for. It does become a bit noisy when the stack of every syscall is included, and requires more complicated grepping because it spans multiple lines, so you might have to first pre-process it into something structured like JSON.
Which, keep in mind, could very well be horrific emotional damage, PTSD, nightmares, regret, etc.
Back when I was working on wasm runtimes, I ran into the issue of unwinding an exception through generated code. I had to do something reminiscent of what I mentioned above.
You just conflated two partners in the whole mix of what we call "healthcare" in the US.

Payers = Medicare for All, UNH, Aetna, etc.

Providers = Hospitals, doctors, medical supplies, etc.

It's entirely possible to have one payer and then having a governing body regulate a free market[0] comprised of providers in the market.

[0] - I'm using the word free market not in its purest form (which rarely exists) but rather in a more colloquially way.

There are two issues in healthcare. Efficiency and and access.

Medicare for all solves the access problem, but it doesn't do anything for the efficiency problem.
Wow I had no idea you could use it on the LHS. TIL.
But you don't need to run a giant spying system to make that happen, so the companies whose moat is their giant spying system don't want to even try that. They also happen to have all the users/eyeballs (they need them for their spying system, in addition to serving ads to them). So it's hard for anyone else to try it to see how well it works.

Honestly, the entire thing looks like bubbles to me. If you heat some viscous material that contains some water, you'll see all of those features.

The filament thing is much more lifelike to me. But keep in mind that we don't have experience on a non-oxidizing atmosphere.
You have to backup more regularly than every two months...

And Apple replaces the entire motherboard if a component on it fails. The agreement that you may lose data has been around awhile and it's just boilerplate. When mucking around on a board they aren't going to guarantee anything - and I don't know if third party repair shops would do that either. There is always the chance someone screws up and breaks something.

Perhaps you are right, I am just surprised with almost a month of unrestricted vaccine uptake opportunities in the US, the rate of vaccination (people who have taken at least one dose) is significantly lower than the UK, which as you note is experiencing significant supply difficulties. I also think that dealing with vaccine hesitancy effectively is the mark of a good healthcare system, but of course there can be many causes of vaccine hesitancy and there is no good way to measure outreach.
Not the exact one I was thinking of from a few years ago but the form factor is basically there.

This is clearly not the case with Medicare. The only guaranteed savings with M4A is in administrative costs.

edit: even the researchers in the linked article doesn't claim to reduce administrative overhead as much as M4A, they claim to be able to get most of the way there.
That was a protest that devolved into a riot, armed with phones for selfies and a viking LARPer as the centerpiece. Please see Myanmar for what a coup looks like;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Myanmar_coup_d'%C3%A9tat

edit; Myanmar is implicitly an example of both an attempted coup and successful coup. If they failed, it would still be an example of what a coup looks like. It's not protesters and rioters with iphones. It's soldiers with guns and vehicles. The capitol riot was terrible and should be denounced (as it has by almost everyone), but to describe it as an attempted coup is straight up gaslighting.
How?

Not if you are using a U2F key instead of your phone as your second factor.

People do not typically talk to their neighbors in Finland in blocks and I have not seen any major change in this regard in the last couple of decades. Indeed, in Helsinki it is becoming a common behavior, before opening the door and leaving, to first look out the peephole to make sure that there isn’t anyone in the corridor – not running into one’s neighbors at all is seen as a common courtesy.

Obviously people living out in Junttila might talk to their neighbors, but these are comparatively so few people that they aren’t representative of the country.

Well, the important thing is just that requests get sent directly from the browser to the blockchain. If it goes through our servers, it creates a layer of centralization. We do pretty much just store things on our own. When you create a post, it goes out both to our database and the blockchain independently. But I feel that the blockchain should be the source of truth if it's going to be decentralized.
The same opportunity exists for new competitors now as existed when Apple recovered from their near extinction at a time when Microsoft seemed unassailable.

NN is one of those things that I never really understood. I get that people want to "stick it" to their ISPs, but since the NN talk began my internet connection at home has gone from 8mb to 200mb without me having to pay another dime via Spectrum. They called me and just said, "Here, we're upgrading you. You need a new modem to get the speed so that's free too."

I could get 400mb or 1gb if I wanted but 200mb has been more than enough.

I assume there's just very different issues in other parts of the country, but where I live I haven't seen any need for NN so it makes me wonder if there will be some negative effect to my currently good experience?

Wow, thanks for reminding me about those. I didn't think anything of them when they added them to my account. Looks like I got 1400 lumens from the drop.
I read the paper, I think that this is pseudoscience garbage, in my non-expert opinion. I think the sphericles can be explained geologically, the "growth" of the pebbles is explained, as others have pointed out, by the sand around them being removed and being exposed more.

I don't like to do this because I would rather attack the evidence but for context, look at the author's history and other publications on researchgate as /bluenose69 pointed out. Read the wikipedia article on the "Journal of Cosmology". This author has a belief that there is life on Mars, and if it isn't puffballs like this paper, it is lichens, or stomatotites. Or suing NASA to examine a rock that was flipped by the wheel of Opportunity that the rock was alive and moved around.

> Why did they not implement it in htop? Made a patch and offered it to upstream? This is why we have FOSS. To benefit from each other's work.

This is why so much open source software is crap and without any structure.

Htop is very different from proc on. Integrating proc on into Htop would make zero sense. Why would you suggest this would be a good idea without knowing what the software does?

How many people are capable of that though?

Anyone who cares to? It's not like 'tech literacy' was higher then and the point the original comment was making was that somehow, the kids today have it harder than 80s Czech teens. I don't think it stands up to scrutiny - it's not true factually now and to salvage the argument you have to come up with hypotheticals like 'only signed web pages allowed' and broadly complain about 'walled gardens' (you couldn't write your own game for your NES back then, either)

Even 'fantasy' versions of 80s-style environments exist, one of them was used to develop an actual hit game. Aspiring tinkerers have never had more choice.
"At the end of the day, a custom font just isn't very important for the vast majority of sites."

I also believe performance should trump other design aspects of a website. This means including using the default Operating System (OS) font stack over a custom font if it means faster page loads.

However, I also recognise that a carefully chosen custom font plays a big part in the aesthetics of a website. It can set the tone of the website as well as giving it a distinctive look that sets it apart from other websites. Can you imagine books, posters, magazines, films etc all set in a limited palette of available fonts? The variety of typefaces available is infinite and the printed word is immeasurably richer for it.

There are ways of limiting the download size of fonts. For example, limiting typeface weights (e.g. 3 weights only: regular, bold, italic) can amount to approx 60kb of downloads in total (20kb per font x 3 using the WOFF2 font format). That might still be too much for many developers, but I suspect that images will be larger (and possibly JavaScript too).
Here's an article that describes the pathway by which foreign doctors can get a medical license in the US: https://www.voanews.com/student-union/how-indian-doctors-get...

In brief, they have to sit the MLE (medical licensing exams), but the real hurdle is getting into a US-based residency program beforehand. In practice, this means only the best candidates tend to make it.
I didn't realize that air compression hardware has to deal with water removal but apparently it does. One article I found is suggesting that air at 7 bar can hold about 1/3 as much water. What confused me is that the a wing stall (low pressure above a wing) causes cloud formation, due to vapor condensing out of the air.

But 7 bar is ~7 times as much air per cubic centimeter, so that's 14% as much space containing 33% as much water. The partial pressure doesn't drop at a 1:1 ratio.

As a former owner of many water management devices from pet fountains to humidifiers to dehumidifiers, I'm more concerned about the fact that air is full of particulates, and you're going to wash the particulates through a fluid that stays in the pump permanently, so how quickly is the funk going to make that compressor unpleasant to be around?
apple needs to double down on safari, it really lags behind Chrome right now, and likely won't ever be a dev's first choice until they adopt v8 or release the underlying engine. Chrome is the new IE, its the only browser I'm allowed to use on my work computer

-> complete a US-based residency

This is the kicker. There are incredibly difficult to get, they are incredibly stressful, and it's another 3-5 years of your life.

If you allowed any non-us developers to practice in the US but you made them work a 5 year 80hr/week internship for 1/6th of what professional developers made first, that basically bans non-us developers from writing code in the U.S.
The first author has had questionable publications in the past: "Quantum Physics of God: How Consciousness Became the Universe and Created Itself" (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/344906681_Quantum_P...) and "Quantum Entanglement with the Future: Lincoln Dreams of His Assassination" (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/344907026_Quantum_E...). Other coauthors have past evidence for fringe publications (the last author is an astrophysicist who doesn't believe black holes exist). Given the publication records, I would be very skeptical of this paper, even if it seems convincing at face value.
> Estimates suggest that the country wastes more than $265 billion annually due to this administrative complexity, and that the rate of increase in administrative costs has outpaced that of overall health care expenditures

This happens for a reason. A 265 Billion industry (however fragmented) has developed to create/maintain and profit off the complexity. I am extremely pessimistic that they will allow this to be fixed. It might be just too big to fail at this point. However, it might plague "medicare for all" systems too, unless it's completely a separate system somehow. These entities will make every effort to get into the "medicare for all" flows as well.

The alternative take is that ADHD is over diagnosed in the United States.
That looks like a really interesting thing to potentially combine with rescript/bucklescript.
It is not that the residencies themselves are profitable. It is that medical schools need to be able to provide residency slots to their students to have an effective program. Definitely an issue for newly formed for-profit medical schools.

Can't get used to IceWM on multi-screen setups. Fluxbox works better with those(for me), especially different screen sizes and resolutions. Regarding media players, why use anything else besides mpv at all? Doesn't matter if started manually with some playlist, or out of some filemanager, regardless if from (framebuffer)console, some X-terminal emulator, or X itself.

I take your point that the origins of surnames in Spain are typically unlike those in e.g. England, but there are plenty of common apellidos originating in physical descriptions, (far away) place of origin, or livelihood.

Could maybe combine the two to get 6.
on linux I installed unifont, a singular bitmap font of size 8x16, that covers most of unicode, moved all other fonts, modified fontconfig to use only that font, disabled bold and italics, switched from chrome to firefox, changed about:config settings in that browser and use a userChrome.css where required.

This allows me to have the same font everywhere for easy readability, some sites have text overflow issues because of the bitmap fonts, other sites display the glyphs in the U+F000 to U+FFFF private use area range due to those sites using those codepoints to display arrows, boxes, and such, or sometimes other glyphs that are already covered in unicode.

for some extra info, using a 1920x1080 monitor in landscape or horizontal orientation, on linux, using i3 window manager and xst terminal emulator, you can open up 3 terminals in portrait or vertical orientation, each would have a width of 80 characters (8x80x3 = 1920) and a height of 67 characters with 8px left over.
I'm certainly interested in this, but for different reasons. Over the years, several people have bent my ears about Duane's theorem that suggests the double-slit experiment is not demonstrating quantum effects at all.

It strikes me that this could help establish or overturn such claims.

Any thoughts? Could it help to test it on a planet-sized scale?
They are all quite accessible via roads, but there are places in SE Oregon and northern Nevada that are very far from anything. ~2 hours to get to a town with a supermarket and medical center.
.NET Core doesn't support the .NET version of security manager (CAS), and the is actually a JEP for deprecating the security manager for removal.

The JAAS idea was quite good, however it was too complex for most developers to implement properly.

I see a big failure for .NET and Java not having been a JIT/AOT stack since the beginning, and now we are going through their reboots while trying to keep the existing ecosystems to fall apart in the process.

I'd lay the blame closer to interface engine companies (whose job is often to disambiguate MR#) and individual practices (who don't want the overhead of working with centralized MR# source of truth) since Epic makes an entire EHR and can almost certainly interface with any ADT (admit, discharge, transfer) system as a source of truth for medical records.

Dangerous? The hypothesized connection is not remotely clear. In vitro transformation of human PrP into PrP(Sc) by bovine PrP(Sc) is a necessary for the causal model. The fact that a strong species barrier exists, in vitro and in vivo, points towards a spurious association.

It's understandable why one might infer from the correlation that there's a relationship but this is confounded by observation. The baseline expectation for CJD in a population is 1-2 cases/million [0]. vCJD cases in the UK never exceeded 30/yr [1, Fig 2. a]. Yes, vCJD occurs primarily in younger people - but that's circular as vCJD is defined as CJD-like disease with early onset. If cross-species transmission were common, one would expect a similar spike in age >40.

The incidence of vCJD, even at its peak, was exceedingly rare. Many things, such as observation bias, pollution, or rare side-effects from faddish street drugs could be at fault here. It's tempting to jump to conclusions, a la "eating fats makes you fat," but it's totally unwarranted in the face of the in vitro and in vivo data demonstrating strong species barriers.
