Not to mention the extra cognitive load in dealing with all these opt-outs and configurable cookie settings. Everyone one of them is different, everyone of them is located somewhere else, and there is no sensible way to simply say to websites, with a single checkbox in your browser: I don't want to be tracked.

Well there was of course; the do-not-track header.

So now we fight back with ad-blockers and other privacy preserving tricks (like clearing cookies) to keep our sanity and make our compiled profiles a lot less valuable (although Google will probably still profit from it by pretending I do see ads and are influenced).

I don't think whether socialized vs private aspect of healthcare has much effect on vaccination rate one way or another. The highest vaccinated among big countries were for a long time US and UK, one with private healthcare and the other with a single-payer system. UK was actually ahead of US for most of the time. Current vaccination rates in European countries are within a few percentage points of each other, whether they have a private system (e.g. Switzerland and Germany) or socialized (e.g. France).
try unlocking the bootloader (annoying that you have to wait like other have noted) and use the MIUI EU distro. It's pretty much standard Android (might not even include gapps, I don't remember), plus the core MIUI and their international version of the apps (ones that don't link to Chinese online services). Best of both words.

For example I use their Music app for playing Youtube in the background without ads, I didn't even install the Youtube app.
Let's not forget that if your main goal is to have an element that is clickable and update it's label you can write a function for that or even create your own component that does just that.

Your heard me correctly, you can create components with JavaScript without the aide of a framework.

Letter variables? Luxury! One of the calculator had ops like STO, RCL, PAU, GTO, GSB and some numbered "cells", where you could store the result of the calculation.

The other had ops like '74' which were coordinates of the key which activated the given function.

Why would you use JavaScript to write your HTML elements in the vanilla case? Surely you could just have a plain HTML checkbox and your default text, and then add an event handler to update the text when the checkbox changes? That’s how React with something like NextJS behaves, vanilla JS you get it for free unless you decide to use JS to write your elements like this.

Cant really beat Xiaomi on a price/value standpoint. Personally, Id never use MIUI though. So much bloatware. I replaced it with LineageOS and it's a delight.

...is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, bouts of excessive energy, hyper-fixation, and impulsivity, which are otherwise not appropriate for a person's age.[1][2][3][4] Some individuals with ADHD also display difficulty regulating emotions or problems with executive function.[1][5][6][7] For a diagnosis, the symptoms have to be present for more than six months, and cause problems in at least two settings (such as school, home, work, or recreational activities).[1][2] In children, problems paying attention may result in poor school performance.[8] Additionally, it is associated with other mental disorders and substance use disorders.[9] Although it causes impairment, particularly in modern society, many people with ADHD can have sustained attention for tasks they find interesting or rewarding (known as hyperfocus).[10][11]

People with ADHD of all ages are more likely to have problems with social skills, such as social interaction and forming and maintaining friendships. This is true for all presentations. About half of children and adolescents with ADHD experience social rejection by their peers compared to 10–15% of non-ADHD children and adolescents. People with attention deficits are prone to having difficulty processing verbal and nonverbal language which can negatively affect social interaction. They also may drift off during conversations, miss social cues, and have trouble learning social skills.[54]

Very good point. Because there are some saying things that you think are clearly misguided we must limit all misinformation based on what you think is right.

Why are you taking care of a children that's so annoying? It's like having a dog that won't stop chewing your things. At some point you have to say "you've taken enough of my sanity away". You have to get rid of toxic people.
This looks amazing. I spent a lot of time searching for something exactly like this earlier this year, but eventually gave up. I set up a Shortcuts automation to do something similar: I have a few lists in Apple Reminders that I use as repeatable checklists, and every night the shortcut runs and just unchecks all the items. It works, and has really improved my life, but it has a few very annoying limitations. So I’m really looking forward to trying this, thanks.

Edit: tried it, it looks great, only one issue for me is the dialog that automatically pops up when the last item is checked. If you could add a way to completely turn that feature off then I would pay for this in a heartbeat. It might seem a tiny thing but that automatic popup would make it impossible for me to use this app, with my kind of ADHD. Also, there doesn’t seem to be a way to edit an item once created. Otherwise it looks great.
Would you mind talking a bit about the small decisions you took for a Proxmox setup? I am slowly learning and planning my (very)small server setup. Things like:

* Are the VM image backups you mentioned, done to your pool by means of the ZFS snapshots? Or done at the file-level with rsync or similar.

* Do you make backups of the Proxmox installation? Similar as before: is Proxmox itself on a ZFS volume, so backups can be done just by doing ZFS snapshots? The installer lets me choose between an LVM-Thin + ext4, or a ZFS filesystem, and I was wondering whether to choose one or the other, for maximum convenience.

* "Proxmox is installed on an SSD": isn't that a bit wasteful? I mean, doesn't the Proxmox system just take like 1 or 2 GB at most?

I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre m910q which brings a 160GB M.2 NVMe disk, and another 320GB SSD disk... so I an in the process of deciding where to put each thing. Although for bigger storage I'm also considering if adding a 1 or 2 TB USB3 external disk would make sense (to store user backups like photos, documents, and also for the server's system backups)

Toggling the checkbox in the completed vanilla example halfway down the page didn't change its subtitle text for me on Safari - instead it updated the subtitle in the example at the very top of the page.
Does it find the first matching element on the page and update it? (I don't know JS, DOM)
Does it handle sequential data, I.e a csv with columns such as —

Won’t this result in more junk code?
My experience consuming caffeine for 35 years was that the enjoyment required increasing consumptions. This is common for most. Maybe it is different for you.
The author is Niall Ferguson, so I am guessing that the reason is not ignorance, but prejudice in support of the author's agenda, which in this case is an apologia for Britain's empire.

Ferguson writes good stories but will often bend the truth. For example, in 2009 he wrote in Newsweek about the US administration's economic policies. His facts were mostly made-up. See his takedown by economists, for example:

Krugman, Paul (2 May 2009). "Liquidity preference, loanable funds, and Niall Ferguson (wonkish)". The New York Times.
I don't mean to ask the obvious question, but have you taken them to the doctor? It's very well possible that they literally can't "shut the hell up". You are frustrated, but they need your empathy.

If you have not taken them to a doctor (psychiatrist more specifically) please seriously consider doing so. My 14 year old adopted brother is going through similar issues and is embarrassed and afraid to take the steps he needs to take. I have to explain to him that if I could have this helped when I was 14 instead of 34...I sure as hell would have.
Let’s review this a bit more clearly.

I agree with you that many people like to drink to suppress or bring forth their emotions. This could be generalized: many people like to heavily alter their state of consciousness.

Now, mostly because of Big Booze and government corruption, we are stuck in a system where the only legal way to heavily alter one’s consciousness is alcohol.

Culture revolves around this. Counterculture then naturally involves illegal ways to alter one’s consciousness. Since counterculture exists defined through culture as an avantgarde-like necessity - a forefront of cultural innovation - it is again natural that the makers of mainstream culture are actually counterculturalists. It is also why mainstream art - music, books, movies, TV - contains so many examples of ”promoting” drug use.

It is thus obvious that the legality of alcohol and illegality of drugs are more significant drivers of behaviour than ”alcohol culture”.

We have hundreds of mainstream idols from Willie Nelson to Snoop Dogg openly promoting cannabis use, yet cannabis culture is literally cracked down on wherever it is illegal.

Ultimately, the law trumps culture.

Most likely not. And at least right now Tabnine's selling point is that you do inference locally (so no need to send code elsewhere) and can be trained on such (vide https://www.tabnine.com/tabnine-vs-github-copilot).

It's not just any style though. All of the X-punk genres are alternative imaginings of the world. So the rebellion is against the current consensus reality.

> MacOS [...] a very underperforming OS

In what way? I think it's pretty great and probably has the most interesting indie software choices. I always wonder why there's so little interesting software on the PC or Linux. Linux I get - the financial incentives are weak. But Windows has massive market share. Aside from games, I think it under performs when it comes to attracting developer talent.

> you are mostly worse off these days

I strongly disagree. All of the major operating systems are good enough these days. Each has their niche where they are the best choice. Different incentives drive the development of each. None is good at everything. I don't think it's necessarily a bad place to be.
>Makes me wonder if it's sustainable.

While there are some suspicious of doggy accounting practice and also political investment, Xiaomi is actually a company listed in HKSE 1810.HK [1] with positive cash flow and operating income. Currently valued at around ~$90B USD.

Their phone are at a very low gross margin but their other products, or they call it the Xiaomi ecosystem is quite profitable. ( Comparatively Speaking ). And of course they earn most of their profits from selling Data and Ads. Which to be fair is similar to Google. ( Cough on the surface because we dont know how those Data are used Cough )

So to answer your question, it is sustainable. And they benefited most from the Huawei incident.

wasn't this done because e.g. updating manually a thousand elements one by one was shown to be, like, orders of magnitude slower than updating the whole thing ?
This sounds frustrating, but I'm a bit concerned how hostile you seem towards a foster child.

I think you're going to need to enlist the help of some psychiatrists, councillors, doctors, etc. that particularly specialize in childhood development. I think trying to get a kid with severe ADHD to "shut the hell up" is not the right approach and could have some very negative consequences in terms of their development and could even backfire in terms of acquiring the social skills you wish for them to have.
> is there any good reason to prefer Haiku over [name any modern Linux distribution]?

That's the problem. There are too many Linux distributions to 'support'. From a developer standpoint. I have to 'define Linux support' and need to draw the line somewhere and pick a Linux distro and write a guide for it.

Several people will ask if their distro is also supported and another one will ask, followed by another one with the same question and then you would be updating more than 10 troubleshooting guides and maintaining more than 10 CIs for 'official' support. That's very expensive and this is why you cannot target 'all' Linux users.

On the other hand, I can support all Windows users 100% of the time. Same thing with macOS, and Haiku also has little to no fragmentation and that means I can give 1 CI per OS. Not 10 or 20. Even Redox gets it right with the same idea.

It's nice to see an open-source OS for once that has a sane desktop, usable software and is unified just like Windows and macOS.

I just bought 69€ Xiaomi Redmi 9A and accidentally discovered it has full-fledged USB-OTG. This was not mentioned in specs and cheapest OTG-phone seems to be around 300€.

What is going on, maybe NFC and other expensive goodies are just disabled by software? And maybe this OTG just stops working at next update?
For me the AI part of this is all the bad parts. What would really be cool is better search, templating, and best practices at your fingertips in the IDE.

Exact same problem to solve, because it is an important an interesting one, but a totally different approach. Maybe AI assisted somehow, but human curated.

Otherwise, imagine how bad legacy codebases of the future will be when they are full of autocomplete code that nobody understands or cared enough to think through even originally.
I tend to see the problem as the point where people stop thinking of them as tools and more part of their self-identity. If learning how to use React makes you more productive, it’s only reasonable to use it on your next project. The problem starts when you start thinking “using React makes me a Real Programmer™ like the cool kids at Facebook” and that turns every discussion into a tribal loyalty test.

This is exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you so much.

I've recently discovered together with my psychologist that I am "suffering" of something along the lines of ADHD. This includes selective memory (only remember what I focus on remembering), missing social cues and feeling overwhelmed if I have to suddenly do something I did not expect.

I've just started my journey in figuring out how I can live my best life, so I hope this way of creating repeatable checklists can help me on the way.
Hey, that sounds rough, very rough. It's not his fault. It's not your fault either.

Speaking from experience myself, it's not that he purposely wants to speak its just that he can't not talk. Like people in a wheelchair would like to stand and walk but can't, or only very short distances.

It would be a weekend project in this day and age to write a simple human readable to number compiler. Why were the developers so willing to continue working without improving their toolset?
Do people actually just copy paste? When I was much greener I never found that to work. The interface had to be thought about. And inevitably there’d be other details to modify.

If anything this just makes that easier to do wrongly. It wants to offer you code that’s not yours that you didn’t conceive of thoughtfully.
This is the issue I see. Developers will employ logic they don't understand, create systems they don't really understand, and large investments in time and finances will realize absolute failure. The risk of junk code and misunderstood logic grows exponentially with this type of tool. In the hands of a skilled Computer Scientist, it is a godsend, in the hands of the majority of us developers, it will create unmanageable complexity, stress and failure.

I certainly don't claim that every intervention is liberation. My point is precisely that it's not that simple. It can be either or both at the same time for different people in different conflicts.
Yes they are prescribed medicine and have weekly counseling from a counselor. We limit the medication for school and special events as it’s not perfect, has side effects, and they can become tolerant. The counseling is for prior trauma from neglect not for ADHD.

It seems your concern, while well intended, is about the missing sensitivity and bluntness of a phrase.

If he isn't on medication, it is something that would calm him down. I know as an adult with ADHD I can be very intense sometimes, agitated and impatient.

I’ve developed on those systems and that’s a hardware imposed limit due to the, then current, technology. Which this 2000 var limit is not.
IMHO its worse because on StackOverflow, people can comment, upvote/downvote, add their own answers etc if the random code has issues or shortcomings or is a bad idea for whatever reason. With copilot, you have to trust it or trust that you can figure out if there are issues (which, if you're a beginner learning, you probably can't and according to that security articleq[1], in many cases even experienced programmers may not notice[2]). With StackOverflow, that's also the case, except you have many more eyes vetting it.

[2] Two quotes from the article: "Oh, and they're both wrong." and "Both look plausibly correct at a glance". If the entire selling point is to write code faster, are we really going to give the code more than a glance? Personally, I find figuring out code I didn't write a lot harder than writing it from scratch, in most cases, because I understand my intent, while I don't understand the intent of others without some deep thinking.
