Going to the ER isn't being hospitalized.

And if you show up to the ER they don't send you to a hospital bed, they don't have hospital beds to give out like candy these days. Even if you have a suspected heart attack (based on cardiac enzymes in your blood not just clutching at your chest acting like you're in a stage play) then you're still going to be waiting hours for a bed to open up. Someone with the sniffles isn't ever getting close to a bed.

It is possible that cannabinoids help with this because it changes the way you breathe - deeper and more active breaths in lower part of the stomach will help to relax bladder and the urge will be much softer. Abs training may help as well like knee raises while hanging on a bar.
He said it takes one minute total, per day, using his app. Previously 10 minutes.

Just to share my experience, the time spent recording data often feels like it's worth it; there's a tangible reward that's more obvious after a while. At first it had novelty value but years later I recognize it as a distinct value separate from novelty. The act of recording by itself has a noticeable impact and anchors a feeling of self-control. (I use a sloppy tag-and-gather method though, not an app, which seems like it could be really fun to create)
Oh, most definitely they are not my search engine either (and I am not talking about any absolute right or wrong, just what I consider better).

It's just that it shouldn't be presented different content than what I can see browsing to the page myself: if both Google and me can only see abstracts, that's fine to me too.

If not, I am happy to use paywall-avoiding sites so publishers would reduce power Google has over them sooner.

Basically, it is my initiative to drive behaviour that I want in the market: either offer content for free, or restrict commercial search engines too.

As other have suggested, this could be a great way to port some of Python's huge ecosystem to Crystal.
Blockchain isn't a good replacement for functional legislative and/or regulatory bodies that actually give a shit about the people they're supposed to be protecting. In this case, corporations unwilling to grant actual ownership of "digital purchases" to the consumers who paid for them aren't going to change that policy just because it sounds like a cool application for blockchain. If they were willing to do something like that, they would already offer portable DRM-free installers and license keys to match. Indeed, some publishers do exactly that, but Ubisoft's management are the sort of bottom of the barrel scum who will only be dragged kicking and screaming into a world where consumers actually own what they've paid for.
How so? The technical answer to this problem is that it must always be possible to store games and media on media that you physically own, and load these on the gaming device in a completely offline process that does not depend on having an account.

I don't think blockchain has any application here. You already have a receipt of your purchase, and noone is disputing that, so blockchain would add nothing but an extra layer of complexity. The problem is that the rights that follow with that purchase does not match what consumers would naturally expect.
Sometimes a law is a necessity. It gives a level playing field for companies. If one business establishment wants to do the right thing, they have to weight it the financial loss they suffer against goodwill or their own conscience. But if it’s the law, it’s straightforward and since everyone has to abide, the loss of any potential business profit is out of the equation entirely.

It’s something that looks like a stick but really a carrot.

> There has been some interest in FischerRandom or Chess 960.

Do people really want to give up all of the past 100-years of opening theory? I don't think so.

The #1 issue of Chess is "boring, everything's a draw". Well, good news. We can get rid of draws with "Stalemate == Black Wins. 50-move / 3-move repetition == White Wins".

Very small rule change. Not only that, it keeps Stalemate-practice as a key-study for Black players. So all the skills you've gained for the past 100 years (from opening theory, to stalemate practice) remains relevant.

Fischer Random / 960 is for people who want to throw away the entirety of chess opening theory. I'm sure that's a valid concern and/or criticism of chess, but I don't think its something the entire community agrees upon (after all: everyone keeps playing Chess / Shogi with exactly the same opening setup. There's something deeply cultural about keeping the setup the same for hundreds of years).

I started to get repetetive strain injury in my right hand sometime last century from drawing with a mouse. I'm an animator so that was a bad thing. Got a wacom for the right hand and started to mouse with the left hand.Turns out both at once is a good way to work. Mouse is better for 3D work that requires precise clicking, and the wacom just nails the process of drawing on a computer. Keyboard sits at the top of the wacom when I need it. Did not take long to learn to be ambidextrous.

I don’t understand why you think that’s dumb. This is what people who download the app will do, so they’re trying out real scenarios that will happen. They don’t want to have there be a segment on the nightly news saying, “App Store Full of Porn!” Which is what will happen in these scenarios. That doesn’t excuse letting Twitter and Reddit get away with it, of course, but it makes perfect sense that they do that. There’s nothing dumb about it.
Tokenized game licenses could presumably be transferred to a different wallet without depending on whatever game company to do the right thing.
For anyone who wants to go down the rabbit hole and learn more about this topic, try Googling "eula unconscionability"

There is a concept in contract law where if an agreement is heavily biased in favor of one party and that party has almost all of the leverage in the relationship, flat out refuses negotiation etc. - then a court can find that contract unconscionable and invalidate it.

That sounds like it might apply to a lot of "take it or leave it" software/online ToS and EULAs, but there's very little case law in this area to my knowledge.

Plus if your contract with Steam is invalidated, where does that leave you? It means Steam has no further obligation to you so you still can't access your games.

IANAL
At the same time, there are people who lost their wallet and RIP to all that potential wealth. And then there are people who had their computer stolen/broken and then just downloaded Steam on a new device and had their games and saves ready to go.

Not that I'm defending centralized services like Steam, because I'm very well aware that companies have happily wielded their power to randomly lock people out of their accounts (like the main subject here). But crypto isn't solving anything either (or at least not yet).
Living well isn't a checklist.
OK, but where do you download the game? Even with licensing, you couldn't play offline? If so, what's stopping someone from just keeping the state of the blockchain such that the offline client thinks you own the games but you actually don't.

Doesn't seem like it'd work to me without a central authority.
I'd never pay money for reading NYT (or learning why nobody bothered to turn the lights on for the poor dying democracy), I like the idea per se (actually, Audible sounds as a better option).
Too bad you can't play most games offline anymore and I'd you're online they'll probably stop you from playing when your account isn't valid.
If I put a piece of tape across the door to your house, and I write "by breaking or removing this tape, you owe me $1000", is that a valid contract? One party shouldn't be able to just make up things that constitute agreement to a contract.
Why should recreational works not be protected? Isn't enjoying artwork purely recreational, except we put a greater deal of care into preserving and displaying the historical works.

A lot of games fall into the same categories of digital interactive art. Especially if its mostly a single player game, I may want to re-experience that game later, much like I might watch a DVD or VHS I still own from my childhood.

Of course I wouldn't expect their servers to still be running, which is why getting rid of DRM is important for the sake of archival
I was talking about all the consulting engineering firms full of civil, mechanical, electrical, transportation, etc, engineers. Among these jokers, it's extremely common practice. As a side note, in Ontario 'engineer' is a protected title and most (but not all) programming jobs wouldn't qualify.

But since this is a US website about programming/business, you're probably not going to talk to a lot of Ontarians about programming or engineering, so this is probably useless information for you. But hey, there you go. Trivia night.

Node does not prioritize performance.

vCPUs don't prioritize or guarantee performance.

2GB physical ram may not be a lot.

1Mb bandwidth (~100KBytes/s) may not be a lot if multiple simultaneous users with bulk payloads.

Storage may not be performant.

Personally as a first step I would just migrate it to a better, dedicated server. Consider the cost of your time to research it. In the West a midrange older dedicated server starts at ~US$30/mo. All kinds of potential badness about being in a vm on a shared resource are eliminated.

If not, or if that doesn't buy you a solution, you must characterize which of the vserver itself, cpu, storage, or bandwidth is the bottleneck.

Assuming it's linux, I would ssh in and set up prometheus or similar monitoring so you can see it over a week.

If no problem, hit it with concurrent transactions until there is a problem. Compare what you have to do to see a problem on a setup on your laptop vs the remote server, you can judge your vserver then.

For cpu, look with top how it acts when you give it transactions. Who eats cpu?

Memory, top + vmstat.

For storage, iostat.

Network, netstat -s

Taking fluvoxamine or other SSRIs for a few days to treat an acute condition is highly unlikely to cause serious negative side effects. The real problems with SSRIs only appear after weeks of chronic use.

Anecdotally I've heard several physicians report good results with fluvoxamine. It appears to be well tolerated for most patients.
> It can go unnoticed and still leave you with long term damages.

That‘s the scary part imho, it appears that the long-term adverse cardiac risk is pretty much unknown.
> There's something kind of similar, Armageddon chess, where black wins draws and white gets a time advantage.

Black wins draws is a bit too inelegant, as that leads to a Black advantage. Splitting the draws into Stalemate / Impossible / 50-move end / 3-move repetition gives us 4 draw-conditions to "split" between the two players.

> This is also lame, since a world championship specifically for classical chess should not be decided by non-classical chess.

There's something to be said that classical chess is definitely becoming boring because of the frequency of draws... possibly due to the increase of computer analysis and advanced play we have today.

Some kind of "no-draw chess" should be the new classic chess standard applied to the game.

Have you seen people manage to breakout from the poverty cycle? I have lived long enough to actually see a handful of people doing just that, and I often wondered what made them different.

One trait I often observed is risk-taking. The ones that broke free from their upbringing always seemed to have high tolerance for risks. So maybe it's simply statistics -- if you have a group of people taking a lot of risks, some of them are bound to end up doing well (with a comparable subset end up doing worse).
Fascinating, great blog post.

Don’t think I have the dedication to track things similarly, but love the data. I use a Whoop fitness band to track sleep, vitals, exercise, and enjoy seeing all the data. Would be cool go log more than health, but that’d require some extra effort… :-)
My xmas gift to one of the other teams in the company was improving one of their alerts, so that it fires when there is an observable problem with the monitored thing, instead of firing pretty much constantly. Makes the alert more useful and saves them from alert fatigue.
The data has always been clear that there is no serious risk to healthy children.

> Personally I always get kind of nervous around buying things on PSN, Xbox, Stadia, Steam, Oculus, etc. If they ban me, do I lose my thousands of dollars of games?

You didn’t buy any games. You paid for access, but as you note you don’t actually own any of these games. Please stop giving in to the doublespeak BS of these companies.

Other than the false marketing (using words like “buy”) and that DRM is toxic, I don’t see what’s really not right - it’s a terrible deal but you’re free to not partake. As long as people keep giving companies money for this kind of thing it will continue.

It’s not like being able to play the very latest AAA game is something that is hard to give up, unlike a lot of other essential software. Just say no.

(BTW, is this really the case with Steam? Last time I checked you could always make a local offline backup of a downloaded game and bring it with you; any connectivity/license check would have to be made in the game itself)
Here’s the alternate history where “Network” is passed as an argument to the constructor.

The year 2006 rolls around and centralized logging is becoming pretty cool. Someone requests that log4j add support to logging to a UDP syslog server. The constructor now requires “Network” and now everyone still thinks it’s reasonable.

IMO the elephant in the room is code execution of remotely loaded code. I want to be able to give something access to the network but not be able to execute stuff from network provided sources.
WCAG compliant UI can both be intuitive for visual people and support tabbing.

Why do you need more that 1 million years? Why is that “disingenuous” to stop before 10 million years?

I agree with your concern about the graph’s Y axis not being zeroed, it should be. Still, the jump in the last century is quite large, right? So why does it matter if CO2 levels were higher before humans existed? Isn’t it concerning you to that CO2 levels have jumped extremely suddenly and with very large magnitude to 30% higher (and growing) than the earth has seen in the last million years? Is your contention that CO2 doesn’t necessarily imply climate change?

This page covers a larger time period: https://earth.org/data_visualization/a-brief-history-of-co2/ It shows a correlation between temperature and CO2 for 10+ million years ago, that would seem to justify concern with today’s skyrocketing CO2 levels, no?

BTW, I think your comment above demonstrates a misunderstanding of what “scientific consensus” means. It doesn’t meant that scientists have gotten together to agree on what the collective will believe. It means that many independent studies and investigations have reached compatible conclusions, that multiple different kinds of hypotheses and evidence are all pointing at the same result.

I will add & admit that using “consensus” is an argument by authority. Personally I think the consensus is worth noting, but that point may be having the opposite effect on you by making you feel pressured to accept it. You’re right that the links I posted are advocacy and lay-person summaries, not scientific sources. The answer to this is to follow the citations and read the actual sources.

Even if your personal assertion regarding the effectiveness of facial masks in containing COVID spread had any bearing in reality, don't you believe that such a low effort/high reward move is well justified given the current public health scenario, and more importantly the need to avoid escalating to higher-impact measures?

This irrational opposition to facial masks reads like ranting against other basic personal higiene etiquette, such as covering coughs and sneezes.

But you're still completely dependant on the game company to do the right thing.

A license exists so that it can connect to the license server -- which is owned by the game company -- which then allows you to play.
