I resonate with #4. I'm in US, so healthcare is tied to employer. My first job ever paid 12/hr and I did not have health care and it was a part time job, so I'm glad I could rely on my mother's health insurance until age 26 (thanks Obama).

I got my first "real" job after spending a year trying to find a full time job after graduating college, during which I was working that 12/hr job. Even at the new job which paid 80k a year, I had to pay $30/paycheck ($60/mo) towards healthcare. Thankfully never had to use that insurance while I worked there.

Now at my current place I get HDHP (high deductible health plan) and when I messed up my leg the hospital I went to didn't even have crutches in their inventory.. got wheeled out to my car and I had to drive to a pharmacy to purchase crutches.. it was horrible, and I couldn't imagine what this situation must be like for someone without insurance.

Anyway the worst part is that I still ended up paying about $1500 out of pocket, because the 1st X-Ray was covered, but the next two were $600 each....... $40 crutches ..............

I understand the desire to stick with the 10yrs of updates model, but it seems outdated with how fast things evolve. I am still waiting for Redhat to bring some details on how Stream will work long term.

We need to know what packages will be unstable. People seem to be held up that Redhat releases will be taken from Stream, making it a "beta" of things to come instead of a free RH. I personally see this no different than Fedora > CentOS release cycle. I welcome newer features hitting our enterprise boxes sooner than later.

I have read that it's also not a true rolling release, and instead will have minor stop gap channel releases along the way. Unless there is another big shake up like init vs systemD, it will be excellent to have an enterprise grade rolling release option for long lived (non-cattle) servers. Updating our fleet from 5 to 6, 6 to 7 was painful...

Currently moved most of my Dev servers to Stream, and I am excluding a few packages from rolling with DNF-Automatic. Will this stay supported?
Shameless plug: One of our engineer developed a Vision Impaired OCR app that scan and read text aloud in the user favorite language and accent with built-in TTS and translation service. Basically, the app is voice driven and require minimal interaction. All the user has to do is take a picture and the scan process starts immediately and TTS takes place after scan.

The article itself sums it up as: "Believe victims. Don’t let this story plant doubt in your mind when it’s possible that unconscious bias already lives there."

What are you talking about? Boto3 is extremely well documented, and is absolutely not self-documenting. It's a mostly autogenerated API, and a horrible example to use for this.

I don't think you understand what my post is trying to convey. Documentation isn't a sin, it's great when necessary. In the case of boto, it's obviously necessary. In the case of Flask (a framework where you're not going to read the code), it's obviously necessary.

You'll notice, if you read through the Flask codebase, that it's only documented in terms of user-facing functions, which end up in the official end-user documentation. In that sense, the codebase itself is in fact mostly self-documenting.

There's a difference between end-user documentation and developer-facing documentation.
Exactly? Nowhere. The article itself is a summarized timeline of other articles in which a number of virologists with experience in SARS1, ebolavirus, etc., provide their experience-informed opinions. For example, in another article (summarized in the timeline article), the WaPo notes that the head of the WHO believes that the lab leak theory is currently the most plausible, given what is currently known (and not known) about the virus, and given his prior experience in tracking down ebola and marsburg virus outbreaks, I defer to him on this.

Other virologists interviewed for other articles, including those who have worked directly with the lead researcher of the Wuhan virus lab, state that the lab leak theory is the most plausible, especially given the lead researcher's history of disregard for proper safety protocols.

Indeed, what is most notable about the lab leak theory is that there are no virologists publicly willing to state that it is implausible, while there are a great many virologists willing to put their reputations on the line and say that the lab leak is the most plausible, and why they believe that to be the case.

The plane was in Belarusian airspace so it isn't really comparable to "a Nato country's plane over Nato airspace" but if what happened in and around Cuba didn't start WW3 then a single plane diverted (and maybe a dissident or two kidnapped) would hardly register in the big picture. In fact several planes did get diverted and some even shot down during the Cold War and it rarely caused any further incidents.
Oh man, I gotta lot of code in APLCore. I can't believe that's still around too. Wow.
Another awesome safety system is the SawStop which uses the conductivity of skin to monitor for contact against the blade in a tablesaw. If it detects contact a small explosive charge goes off, instantly sending a block of aluminum into the path of the blade, stopping it dead. Even a serious accident like leaning with an elbow against a moving blade is likely to result in little more than the scratch from hitting a stationary sharp object rather than decapitation.

Sadly the inventor couldn't convince the tablesaw manufacturers to use his invention for cost and/or liability reasons so he had to make his own. Their tablesaws themselves are relatively expensive but cost per accident is $100 for the charge plus whatever the blade costs, so basically $200 to prevent serious injury or death.

I love Nix, but this is true. The cross-platform support for pkgsrc is outstanding, and Nix's is still relatively limited.

Nix has better cross-compilation support is a little bit better than its native support, in terms of cross-platform coverage. But even then, I think, pkgsrc's platform coverage is in a different league. :)

Hi there, Tutanota team here. We came across the discussion and wanted to say that we're available for any questions. The decision only affects not encrypted emails, the end-to-end encryption of Tutanota is not affected. To the contrary, the ruling - even though we hoped for a different outcome - again shows why end-to-end encryption is necessary.

This ruling is a follow-up of a previous court order from 2020. We have posted a more detailed comment here: https://np.reddit.com/r/tutanota/comments/k3sfs5/in_englisch...

It's hard to imagine that a language can be "done" when the problems being solved with it keep changing and we keep discovering new techniques for solving them.

It is counter-intuitive indeed! This research led professors Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young to win the Nobel Prize [1] in Physiology and Medicine in 2017.

The cue is in the effort required to capture the message from a body of text. Reading has two broad stages–putting our eyes to feed the optical data and then our visual acuity in the brain (vision) to process that data--recognizing glyphs, putting together words, sentences etc.

If we concentrated on a butterfly or a fruit for hours on the end similarly, in a poorly illuminated environment, it is going to affect our eyes. The pupillary muscles have to remain contracted to let enough light in. A glow-worm on the other hand would feel more exciting and comfortable to watch in a dimly lit situation.

But that's only stage one. The stage two is where the magic happens. And it has a catch!

The morning/daytime spectrum from an LCD panel makes it easier for the eyes to capture the text because the illumination is great, but it also forces us operate attentively. By being attentive, our brain is pushed to operate at a higher energy level. It then uses more energy to process the load of incoming information and this whole deal exhausts us by the end of day.

Sometimes when we don't look at the evening shift spectrum of a sunset (reddish shift), our body clock does not trigger a restful mode. A fatigue sets in, if you will.

But this only means that it is time to take rest and not read anymore. Cue an IPS screen is still healthier for the eyes than a reflective e-ink one when it comes to long-haul reading.

I recommend asking about hiccups on the Slack [1]. My basic analysis is you're missing a vscode-side plugin, you might need to restart Talon once after dropping in knausj_talon, and that your statement of "it doesn't really work" comes mostly from you guessing command phrases that don't exist. It's a strict command system - you need to learn/know the commands, you can't say just anything and expect it to work.

It's a tool to be learned and practiced, it's not fully optimized for out of the box experience (yet), currently more optimized for customization and total control by people who have the time and motivation to go hands free (e.g. due to limited motor function).

This is what it can look like if you practice a bit: [2]

Some recommendations:

- say "say hello world"

- say "help alphabet"

- say "help context"

- say "command history"

- say "dictation mode" then speak freely, then say "command mode"

If they are not a telecommunications provider there is no law obliging them to do anything.

Why would the rate of true accusations go down while the rate of false accusations remain the same? My intuition is that they'd both go down, with false accusations decreasing more than true accusations.
Why does this hypothetical evil union compel you not to work a few hours on a Friday night?

On a related note I've found that those who most vigorously defend the 'rights' of workers to be exploited are usually not in the position of actually benefiting from all those 'rights' that they are proposing as so vital. You know what the average uber driver wants? Some financial security. They want health insurance, not libertarian fan fiction.
As someone who actually works at Google Health (on an unrelated project), it pains me to see folks suggesting that this type of thing could happen.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that there is no way in hell that any of the health data for a project like this could possibly ever be used for advertising to patients. Someone on an eng team with access to this data (which is VERY tightly controlled) who have to write a data export pipeline and deliberately export that data to Ads, and someone on the Ads side would then have to deidentify that data and join it with advertising data.

Getting someone to write an export pipeline that will be consumed by other folks in Health, and actually get it used in practice is hard enough, when dealing with all the data restrictions. What you're suggesting is just not going to happen.

You shouldn't think of Google as one giant org with a big pot of shared data. It's really dozens of orgs, each with their own sub-orgs, which all have their own databases, file storage, etc. Getting access to data owned by a team the next aisle over is hard. Getting access to data from another org is basically impossible without a ton of oversight.

Yeah, my brief experience and impression with these voice assisted coding is they require $300 microphone and a quiet room to get acceptable level of accuracy.

It probably is worth for physically impaired people (but i fear what 6hrs daily of this will do to their vocal cord). I am more interested in BCI technology which is where i see the future.
It is reassuring to hear that Netherlands works more or less the same. Today is my first day in the Netherlands(moved here from DK) :-)

Just to add, we also had the exact situation as you described. An annex physically close but separated from the hospital. The child birth rooms are similar to normal room with a "help please" button. I'd also take this close proximity to the hospital over home births. Just in case something unexpected occurs and medical help is needed.

That's an interesting question. You need to differentiate two types of tools.

1. Internal knowledge bases.
2. Customer help centers.

1. are internal only and usually a tool like Confluence, Notion, or Sharepoint is used. Except from Sharepoint their designs are not very customizable. Because that's not the main use case of these tools

2. are customer facing and is usually easier to customize. There are plenty of tools but they mostly follow the initial "intercom" [1] help center design. A few categories with a bunch of articles and folders inside. They are usually not really great tools. On the navigation part there are still a lot of innovation to be done because we still don't know how to orient people who are novice

The only reasonable conclusion you can draw from the two studies linked is that vitamin D supplementation to increase serum levels does not significantly prevent CVD. I could just as easily hypothesize that the physical activity required to go outside both increases serum vitamin D and lowers CVD risk.

Just to be clear, I agree with your thought that sun exposure probably carries benefits beyond an increase in serum vitamin D based on anecdotal experience... I supplement vitamin D rigorously, but being in the sun just makes me feel better
