The Acme editor, used by C creator Dennis Ritchie, converted me to the Rodent Religion. The mouse is the fastest way to point to something on your computer screen, especially a quality gaming mouse with mouse acceleration disabled. Pointing at things on a computer screen and clicking is a highly competitive activity involving billions of dollars annually; pro gaming mouse designs have evolved to be lightweight and extremely efficient at this task.

Pianists can rapidly move their hands to 100% accurately strike keys more than a foot away at blink-of-the-eye speed because they practice, and master mouse users can flick their hand from keyboard to mouse to keyboard again at blink-of-the-eye speed if they practice. Anchoring at the keyboard is not the fastest way to edit text.

There needs to be a text editing competition organized with prize money. Then shall all the world see that mouse users best the Rodentless in battle.

If I need to double-backspace five different caret positions visible on screen, I can Ctrl-click (or Alt-click) to set multiple cursors faster than a master vimmer's brain can devise a suitable ':[x,y]s/.../.../g' command to accomplish the same thing. I know this because I've used vim more than 20 years, and I also learned ed's and sam's editing languages used by the original Unix gods. The Unix gods switched to the Sam editor in the early 1980s which is a bit like a mouse-oriented re-imagining of vi. Then some switched to Plan 9's Acme in the 1990s, which retains Sam's editing language. The Sam/Acme editing language is not line-oriented like ed/vi/vim, e.g. ':#3,#42' selects character 3 through 42 regardless of how many newlines are between char 3 and 42 and does not select to the beginning of the line before char 3 nor to the end of the line after char 42. You can also do ':/re1/,/re2/' and unlike vim this won't grab to the beginning of line before /re1/, etc. Acme doesn't have multiple cursors though and needs some TLC, it doesn't talk to an X server efficiently and draw pixels efficiently because it's based on Plan 9's drawterm. VSCodium does everything I need but is ultra-bloated and I'd love lighter weight.

Then you had some problem. I have ~1TB in Dropbox, files small and large. No problems with sync. Once in a while it does go crazy, eats up a lot of CPU and takes 1 hour to get in proper sync. It’s annoying, but luckily it’s rare. And it goes with me everywhere. How do you access external drive from your phone anyway?

TL;DR: he's an idiot.

A bit longer: OP went to a shop to get his phone repaired. Shop gave him a loaner phone, which had been used by many many people and apparently never wiped. OP set up Google backup on that phone and those photos got uploaded onto his WhatsApp backup. OP got a new phone, set up WhatsApp, and WhatsApp downloaded the pics from the loaner phone onto his.
Of course not.

Unless you have good reason to see any malice: assume there is none, because it'll be less stressful, and you're less likely to get into embarrassing self-defeating arguments.

The incentives make sense for commercial companies to participate to gain exposure, and the organizers probably don't mind if it boosts their attendance (although it can, as you've observed, reduce the sense of authenticity for some participants - even award-winners like yourselves).

See, that's the thing:

> Axes object is the region of the image with the data space.

In matplotlib axes is not the plural of axis. It has its own meaning specific to the API. And at the same time it's the plural form of another word (axis) which is also relevant in this context and it sounds almost identical when pronounced.
> consuming large amounts of CPU when anything changes anywhere in the filesystem

I don’t understand how this still hasn’t been addressed. On macOS at least (not sure about other platforms), rather than subscribing to filesystem events for the synced folders, it subscribes to FS events for literally everything and checks to see if each is relevant to the folders it should sync.
Ask HN: What set of companies are likely in 10y to be what FAANG is today?

I'm responding to this since I believe I was in your shoes once:

I used to have middle of the night wake ups (intense anxiety or pain in the chest, or waking up and being unable to return to sleep)... then, I got very intensively into meditation. I didn't get into meditation to help with sleep though.

When I would wake up in the middle of the night then would do a body scanning technique. Scanning through the body and investigating the emotional state in the body. Really this is about bringing the attention of the mind to awful feelings. The more you fend off negative feelings the worse your life your overall well being will become (at least based on my experience). Initially when I started doing this body scans might last an hour. Body scanning is not fending off negative thoughts but instead embracing them. In a lot of ways it is like exposure therapy. So over time the body scans got shorter and shorter. Eventually I switched to a noting style of practice and at times I would wake up in the middle of the night and very rapidly note whatever was happening in my experience then almost immediately return to sleep.

So, while I still do sometimes wake up in the middle of the night, the duration of wakefulness is typically much shorter compared to how it used to be. When I look at my mom she has a kind of similar sleep pattern as me and nowadays only sleeps around 4 hours a night.

Business investments have always been a deductible expense. The idea that by saving rich people money, they would invest it in their business, is obviously bullshit; they can just invest the money and not be taxed on it anyway.

It's doubly bullshit given that businesses are also separate taxable entities. Don't take the money out of the business if you don't want it to be taxed as income; invest it back in so it becomes an expense, and neither you nor the business (effectively) pay taxes on it.

So, no. Even with a solid industrial base, "trickle down economics" was still just as obviously bullshit.
I went to OP's account, he replied inside the thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/rxtl22/w...

> PiS maintains power through a process similar to gerrymandering. Their base is at around 30% and they acquired power by strategically crafting a message specifically aimed at appealing to the most vulnerable and uneducated segment of the population

I don't disagree with rest of your comment. But that's nothing like gerrymandering. It's pure politics.

Gerrymandering is choosing your voters, by meddling with an importance of each single vote.

Politics is knowing your base and crafting message at them. No sane political party in the world tries to craft their policies to make everyone happy. Knowing your voters and telling them what they want to hear is politics 101.
This week I've witnessed three people die.

Two men drowned on Sunday. I jumped in but failed to get them out. They died less than a meter from me.

On Thursday my father passed away from cancer. I was with him in his last breaths.

Life is so fragile but it's going to end for all of us. Live as much as you can while you have health. Cherish the people in your life.

We are but a vapor in the wind. I'm so thankful for my time so far, I'm thankful for my Dad and miss him so much. I'm so sad for the men that died. My hope for their family is that they can go on living without them.

Being "obsessed" with non-existence - yours or someone else's - is weird. The only thing I could draw from the idea of death (as the end of existence) is that you need to make the most of your life, while it lasts, and help others do the same.
I wish there was something like that for books.

I remember reading a book in my youth about a kid that lived in a shielded city with an AI controlling it with the assignment to keep everyone ‘happy’ (= docile). He/she breaks protocol and gets ejected through a trash chute. Meets an old man. Crossed a wasteland and finds old ruins, learns something and then blows up the shielding of the city to make it free again.

In the Dutch translation either the old man or the main character was called ‘gull’ or ‘sea gull’. I’ve posted on a few subreddits and forums with people pretty much ignoring, and I have scoured Google without much results neither.
Here you go:

[..]Here’s an example (https://www.zillow.com/homes/4511-Sally-Dr-San-Jose,-CA-9512...) of how this could work for a typical San Jose home — footsteps away from one of our customers. The new house on the split lot has a sale value of $1.5M, based on a same-sized new-build home on the block. The total cost for building the new unit, including permitting, local fees, and financing, is $700k. That’s a net profit of $800k, of which the homeowner’s 80% share is $640k.[..]

so...this home when split will have two units..each valued at 1.5 million. the state will get taxes at about $40k/year instead of the current 4-5k they seem to be paying for the past several decades.

if i were the owner and i have lived there for 30 years..it doesnt make sense from the pov of taxes. if i am the child who inherited the home, everything is essentially free. so there's that. and you make 20% profit.

but as the neighbour..as someone who pays tax for the services the city provides, as a renter in the neighbourhood who has to deal with higher water charges, crowded schools for my children, bad roads, inadequately staffed police stations/fire stations/post offices etc.(all public sector jobs that have unions and whose employees receive pensions till they die), it is a lose lose proposition.

any digression into the 'unfairness of prop 13' is something i am not going to engage in..i dont see why a 75 year old resident who has lived in the neighbourhood for 30-40 years have to pay for schools his children went to decades ago. we owe our senior citizens more than envy and jealousy over their hard earned money.

there are plenty of land in california that can be developed sustainably. and can house people comfortably. the problem is with sacramento that makes housing permits and fees and costs so high..and the historical unfunded pension liablities of public sectors that need more and more and more californians to be taxed to death every decade that is the problem.

and not taking into account that we are a desert and we are in a drought and we havent developed infrastructure or affordable utilities or sustainable public education or public transport. all while being taxed to death.

those numbers make NO sense to home owners. especially if they are in san jose. i dont know how familiar you are with bay area. everyone has something to say about property taxes until they become home owners themselves. just like college kids talk about 'fair taxes' until they have jobs themselves and see what a huge chunk goes away without any discernible benefits or accountablity by the state.

"Don't think of it as dust. Think of it as maybe the soil of some great past civilization. Maybe the soil of ancient Babylon. It staggers the imagination. You may be carrying soil that was trod upon by Solomon, or even Nebuchadnezzar."
Wow, that is insane. And your advice is much valued! Thank you for sharing.
I'd argue it lays "evil corporations are evil" a bit too thick, and the ending IMHO is way too overwrought, but it's a pretty well made show.
> I meant that “abc” + “def” is most likely illegal

That would be adding 2 pointers, and that's indeed illegal.

However, you can subtract them: “abc” - “def” . Now, the result is not a pointer any more, it's a ptrdiff_t (an integer type), so most compilers will warn if you try to assign that to a char *.
If you had a free market, then the rich would either invest their money or they would lend the money out at a reasonable interest rate. The latter doesn't actually happen because they also have the option of simply holding onto it if nobody borrows it. (Of course in fractional reserve banking new money is created with every loan but the lender's money is out of circulation).

Money has an insurance effect. Simply having money lets you pay off random expenses. It also doesn't spoil like goods. If we had a grain money system, then the central bank would pass the cost of grain storage onto the holder of the dollar bill which would give the lender an incentive to lend it out even at 0% interest, which protects the lender from the storage costs. This is known as liquidity preference. The borrower has to compensate the lender for giving up the liquidity benefits of money.

Right now cash itself has no storage costs, so nobody will lend it at 0% interest.

In theory giving the rich money through lower taxes lowers the interest rate because they lend it out. However, as I said, there is no mechanism that actually lets it fall to 0% (extreme cases like deflation can in theory justify negative rates). If you were to charge a negative interest rate on a bank account to enable 0% loans, then people just pull their money out and hold cash instead.

The free market basically ends the moment markets are saturated and everything only makes enough money to cover its own costs with 0% profit. This is one of the areas where Marx was correct. Once profit is gone, the system collapses because someone forgot to enable the 0% interest feature of money.
even a simplified version of snarfing bibliograph data for setting up web "automata" munging with available tools, such as https://ahrefs.com/blog/link-building-tools/ , requires some skill/practice/time before "return key" worthy.
The insurance mandate was supposed to solve that problem.

And the requirement that 80% of premiums paid had to go to paying for care was supposed to prevent insurance companies from jacking up prices to increase profits.

Neither actually made an attempt at fixing the underlying problem of health care being expensive.
I use similar setup, though Markor as an editor. As syncthing app I use

I agree that local development is annoying, but I haven't found the other two to be pain points:

- For security, services that invoke webhooks usually cryptographically sign their payloads to allow their authenticity to be verified.

- Maybe you mean something else by serverless, but in my experience, it has been relatively easy to deploy an AWS Lambda function (e.g. using Serverless Framework) that gets called by a webhook.

Webhooks aren't perfect, but they do seem significantly simpler than the alternatives that come to mind, like WebSockets or WebRTC. Long polling is simpler, but often that is already an option for services that provide webhooks. I'll be interested to see if others have ideas for better alternatives, though.
Coming from outside California's property market, it still seems odd that faced with a choice of [A] a 60 year old suburban home with decent-sized gardens front and rear or [B] a brand new property which must be squeezed into a garden space taking up less than 1/3 of A's plot with essentially no space left over for anything that isn't floorplan, people would typically value the latter property more highly? Is the build quality or design on older homes that iredeemably bad?

Seems an awkward example of a plot to split without demolishing the original house too, but I guess that's more common than a plot that's easy to split.
Nowadays it's probably 44% jobs, 44% people simply like the service and 2% safety.
Most hospitals have been having back office folks re deploy to do the drudgery for months now. Lots of stuff like stocking rooms, bed setup etc.
Ohio has now drafted national gaurd units to help in our hospitals to pick up this slack as well.
None of these folks can do direct patient care stuff like blood pressure etc but they can and do pick up nearly everything else.
This is a canonical case of premature optimisation. I have performance problems with the database backend, the network, disk access, but too slow a regex is a completely non-existing problem in real-life for me. Or else I wouldn't be using Perl/PHP/Python/Ruby but C/C++/Rust/Java etc.

Blue Shield is notorious for not paying out enough of premiums for care. If you're having issues though, figure out who your PBM. (Pharmacy Benefits Manager) is that Blue Shield is contracting the pharmacy adjudication out to.

Basically, get in contact with them, try and get an override, or get them to explain why you are not covered. If it isn't in the formulary your employer opted into, you're hosed; but there is usually one way or another to get them to give in, they will just make you go through maximum hoops.

Ask for their clinical people if you can't get any traction. They will likely be the ones with hand on the knob for whether a drug is "worthy of coverage" or not.

Magic words: Override,coverage decision appeal, utilization management/formulary question.

They will tell you to check a website. Look up your thing in their formulary, if not there, abort. If in there, but high-tier, prepare for the prior-auth gauntlet.

I gave up on BCBS and have resigned to paying out of pocket, but you might get luckier than me. They will generally fight tooth and nail to be difficult, but just keep a cool head and keep escalating. It's been a while since my last butting of heads but I'm gearing up for round 2.

Also remember: You can pay out of pocket, but you'll be at the whims of that pharmacy. They'll generally help you work through coupons.
I guess you’re talking about the client “Möbius Sync”. I’ll add that it’s also not available in most countries, for some reason the developer restricted it in the App Store.
That's true, but IMO is just a matter of accustoming oneself to some new ways of doing things, as long as the tradeoff is worth it for you.
For home value:
It's about 5-12% decrease depending on the setup--in extreme cases as bad as 15%.
We haven't had a pre-assessment come in lower than 15% (the homeowner still going to make a lot——it's a large property).
Most are around 7-8%. Usually there is 50%+ return, so that previously illiquid/non-existing capital has a much higher value, but there is real depreciation.

Lower value homes depreciate less, higher value more--but are offset by larger returns!

It will likely re-appreciate in a few years, and so the loss is temporary/the other capital could be deployed to quickly outpace any depreciation.
> How much are you paying per acre?

For rent? $265-275/acre, depending on the landlord.

> Also, I assume you're not selling to a coop or other large scale buyer?

No, that's where it all goes. There is a co-op grain elevator. All of my IP soybeans go there as they pay a nice little premium. Pretty much everything else, including crusher soys, is sold to the closer-to-home commercial grain elevator.
This is not what I expected from Moxie. A writes very good account of his experience trying to do some dapp / NFT stuff. He eloquently draws attention to the problems that are based in human behavior.

Definitely worth the read. Both sides of the debate could elevate their arguments if they ponder what Moxie has written.
I still say "release the hounds" whenever I start pumping. :-)

Years ago—late nineties—long after almost all pumps had CC readers in them, at least in Miami where I lived at the time, and those that didn't were at least electronically connected to the attendant booth, I pulled off at a station in rural Georgia.

Old-style pumps with a mechanical display. You didn't have to pay first. I filled my tank, then went inside to pay.

The attendant asked me how much I'd pumped. I hadn't thought to remember the amount.

I said something like "oh, let me go check for you."

He replies "no need", then pulls out a pair of binoculars and reads the amount off the pump.

Recently, I get annoyed by a pump in NY that wouldn't accept any of my cards or my iPhone. It made me miss those days of mechanical pumps.
