A hint at what wpm I just typed at would be nice. So if I only hit 50 wpm a 50 off to the side or below the dotted line.

This is fascinating when picking a liminal wpm. Single hand words are so much harder.

I can cruise along until I hit words like "exact"

EDIT: You could make a list of bigrams as people type and average the wpm for words with that bigram, then you could weight the randomly chosen words by the difficulty of the bigrams, to really help people focus on their biggest stumbling blocks.
If you are used to it, you build up callus and it's mostly fine. Except for broken glass, but that's not exactly "natural" either.
While I appreciate that you've released a new source-available license to the public, the OpenFare License as described in the README is not free or open source.

FOSS software can be sold, but if the software license requires the user to pay to continue using it, the software is not free because it does not unconditionally grant the user the freedom to run it:

> The freedom to run the program as you wish means that you are not forbidden or stopped from making it run.

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html#run-the-progr...

That restriction also means the software is no longer open source, since it discriminates against commercial users who do not pay:

> The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons.

> The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

https://opensource.org/osd

Source-available licenses are a middle ground between proprietary and FOSS licenses, and they certainly serve a purpose. But, they're not FOSS licenses unless they allow the user to use, modify, and redistribute the software without exception.
I use a similar model for EmailEngine (https://emailengine.app/). The code is dual-licensed under AGPL and a commercial license. The app has limited functionality by default - you can either buy a license key to activate it and use the app under the commercial license. Or fork the code, remove limitations (really easy to do, one or two lines of changes), and use it as AGPL. At first, I did not have that artificial limitation and no one was interested in buying the commercial license. Once I added that extra step, I got some customers.
> Why would hospitals admit someone who isn't actually in need of care?

In places without socialized medical coverage and low levels of ethical integrity (unfortunately, too many places in the world - especially impoverished states), the answer is "money".
If you have a specific criticism of the article, you should make a specific quote and make your counterargument.

> The analyses find that India’s cumulative COVID deaths by September 2021 were 6-7 times higher than reported officially.

The officially reported number of Covid deaths are ~483k. So according to this analysis, the real number of deaths should be closer to 3.3 million.
I like this quote from someone, in the article

>This trains people not to update, 'coz stuff might break.

He says this as if it's a bad thing? Clearly depending on 300 libraries and auto-updating everything is a massive security risk.

Also very concerning that the dev's account has been suspended.
There's something to this. The real beautiful moments in a Tech company happen due to growth. Not being big, just getting bigger. Like if a natural disaster erased most of their market cap, like a fire in a redwood forest, they wouldn't praise the disaster of course but it would make their lives much better for a decade.

Point is that with sufficient fiber, your gut bacteria get most of it, and are harmed not at all, instead of your liver, which is.

And, the other sugars are not harmful to your liver in any amount, although sharp spikes of them may not be great for the rest of you. Again, enough fiber mutes those.
The writer doesn't. There are multiple clear instances of mental gymnastics in this article. From previous articles the author has written it seems like they have been researching this topic for 4 days before writing this article. Hardly enough time to become a domain expert.
Oh please. This website is supposed to offer advice, it’s worth criticizing that advice.
I guess we may not be too different in opinion. I definitely think the OP should NOT try and “diagnose” the issue. It’s not their problem to fix and in the worst case, trying different account numbers as others suggest in this thread may end up with your money in someone else’s account - now you have two problems instead of one. Imagine trying to explain why you took those actions to a non technical peer (maybe a judge). “Well your honor, the luhn check digit algorithm…”

The Danish authorities assume the "Omicron" variant will be the "natural vaccine" which will end the pandemic in about 2 months [1]. As far as I'm concerned it has been over since the vaccines became available for anyone who cares to take them. While they have proven to be ineffective with regard to getting and spreading SARS2 they did seem to be moderately effective in reducing the need for hospitalisation for the earlier strains - up to and including "Delta". This does not seem to be true for the "Omicron" variant but fortunately this variant seems to require far fewer hospitalisations and have a much lower mortality. Knowing that natural immunity is both far stronger as well as longer-lasting compared to the temporary boost in antibodies caused by recent vaccination and seeing how "Omicron" infects vaccinated and unvaccinated alike this seems like a done deal. As far as I'm concerned, it is.

I've never heard that. It works for me, so I was shocked to read "does not work for that purpose at all" and even now "for 30 percent of people".

I just googled for "aspirin pain effectiveness" and the first hit was this:

which doesn't match what you are saying.
The community-developed LCP software is used by public libraries (mostly in Europe) to lend ebooks to patrons fora limited period of time, say one month.

What NoDRM allows is for that lending period to be broken, so that patrons (readers) can read the ebook they have borrowed forma public library indefinitely.

The practical consequence is that copyright owners (authors, publishers., etc) would in most cases cease to make ebooks available for lending.

In some cases Readium LCP is also used by ebook vendors (retailers), mostly small European ones, as an alternative to Adobe's RMSDK, but the LCP platform is constructed such that if you buy the ebook from one vendor that you can read it on the app of any other vendor using Readium LCP, even if their authentication server is different (Adobe always requires authentication through a central Adobe server, meaning the end user needs an account both with Adobe AND the vendor/library, something not required with Readium LCP). IT is the most interpoerable system available in the publishing ecosystem
No longer required? It's worse than ever. We're a hop and a skip away from commodity hardware being vendor locked to Windows using encryption. We're already there on Windows/ARM.
So you expect to be on top of the world all of the time? You seem to have a lot problems but your career isn’t one. You’re in an extreme privileged position. Treat your therapy seriously because no job will make you happy if you don’t get a grip.
Exactly. In the political sphere, "excuses" are not "reasons". Well meaning people get these confused all of the time, accepting a politician's excuses at face value as the reason they don't support some policy.
Unless of course you are someone who argues, that a fertilized ovum is already a new life.

In that case you need to start to argue about what makes an egg an egg, as the fertilization happens while the rest of the egg is forming(or so I just read). So depending on your egg definition, there might be a brief period where there is a chicken which will become an egg and then becomes a chicken again.
I’ve thought about this quite a lot, and always come to the same unique characteristic: man can think about thinking.
Hopefully you reported to VAERS. People need to report potential events so that the data is present to do statistical analysis on. It's a shame how terrible the data currently is with all the under reporting.

I'm responding with anger, thus I ask for mercy and understanding.

I used to be one of the authors of that science. I spent 7 years of my life working on it.

For this my take-home pay was close to the poverty line. I was qualified for a ~500K/year job at FANG.

That's a heavy sacrifice, not commercial interest and profit margins.
I started in a new job a year ago, and they got me the new Dell XPS 15. The experience has been dreadful so far, given that I've been a happy user of a Dell laptop for the past 5 years. Seems the quality consistently deteriorated.
Some SSH Agents can do that but SSH isn't "aware" of this. From SSH's perspective it's simply taking long and you can timeout your SSH connection with that. For Example, KeepassXC offers this feature to require confirmation.

The new ed25519-sk and ecdsa-sk keys do also require user interaction because you need to press your key (and also make many concerns of SSH Agent Forwarding Null and Void).

This happened in the UK on a mass scale. Elderly patients were returned to care homes en masse to make space for expected COVID patients.

As a result COVID tore through care homes, giving the UK one of the highest death rates.
> Package management on Linux is a real mess. It works great if you're running a server with standard software from official distro repos that is infrequently updated.

> As soon as you go outside that it quickly goes wrong in my experience (I've been using Linux since around 1999).

My entry to Linux was slightly later, but I have the same opinion. What's worse is that it is maddening when you try and express this to the Linux Desktop community, they will tell you its 'insecure' to use third party packages and you shouldn't do it[0], or that you should put everything in a container[1], or explain that because freedom you can always compile from source[2]!

We are fortunate that parts of the community are finally waking up to the problem and trying to deal with it with things like AppImage[3] and Flatpak[4], at least for desktop software.

[0] There isn't really any greater theoretical insecurity with third party packages than first, but more importantly I'm not going to refrain from running software I need to run because it hasn't been blessed by some volunteer third party who almost certainly hasn't actually reviewed the code anyway. If the alternative is not running software then I'll take the risk, it is mine to take.

[1] Ever wonder why other desktop operating systems don't need to do this? It's adding a bunch of unnecessary complexity and extra management to what should be one of the primary things one can do with a personal computer!

[2] Leaving aside that that is a pretty ridiculous expectation, build environments are often complicated enough that projects distribute theirs in a container to avoid dealing with all the problems that could be caused because of conflicts and missing or out of date packages. Basically the same problems as compiled software!

[3] AppImage has been around a long time and so had its earlier incarnations (ROX AppDirs and Klik). I love it, but it isn't as popular as Flatpak seems to be.

[4] I have my issues with implementation, but at least it is dealing with a lot of the traditional model's problems including finally allowing me to install software to a different disk. Still has a ways to go to become ubiquitous, but it is making a lot of headway.
this is why I don't like marketing, cause usually it is deceptive, even when somebody has the best intent. It's like language (even math has boundaries), you cannot precisely transfer meaning.

I hate phones as well but I've developed myself a ritual for alleviating th burden of anxiety-causing calls. Maybe this helps someone else as well:

1. Take pen and paper

2. Write a brief script how to start the call. Just sufficient amount of notes that you have a clear and concise agenda

3. During call take notes

4. If you don't understand something, repeat for the other party what they've said. Not in a way that it can be understood you agree with them as this can become a really problem with business dicussions, but using phrasing as "Can I repeat what you said so I am clear on this. According to you..."

5. At the end of the call, if there are topics that should be handled by you or the other party, review what was agreed topic by topic.

I generally find people appreciate this structured approach in calls. At least it reduces most of the anxiety from my part to minimum.
Nearly 0.2% of the US has died of COVID, so he can’t be that far off on his estimate, not knowing the age of yourself or other readers.
Yes perhaps the question was unclearly posed, I mean - how do people allow themselves to be admitted to expensive care without being in need of it?

Are doctors "persuading" patients that they need care, and the problem is lack of information about what rights you have to actually refuse, or information about what the symptoms would be etc?
I had a similar experience to the OP with my previous Intel laptops - they've quickly get too hot and throttle and that would kill the performance. When they weren't throttling, performance was fine.

For me the big win with the M1 Pro was that I could work flat out and not worry about it overheating and giving up.

It's a lot easier for desktops to have adequate cooling and power.
A good first step might be making sure the population is educated sufficiently to identify and weigh the risks between a 1 in 1,000,000 side effect, the disease the vaccine protects against, and the pure bullshit peddled by fear mongers.

Right now, we have people in the US who still believe that Covid is no worse than a bad case of the flu. All the evidence (at least for the pre Omicron variants) suggests that the reality, as viewed by death rate, is orders of magnitude more bleak.
There is a great paper on excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic that also corroborates this for almost every country that tracks death count.

> I re-read the author's essay multiple times and I finally realized his proposal rests on a (probably incorrect) assumption of corporate motives and rationale. He believes the only reason companies avoid AGPL is the extra paperwork burden it causes.

I read this very differently (or I'm misunderstanding you), the reason why companies avoid AGPL is because they do not want to open up their closed source code that they run together with (unmodified) GPL/MIT code on their servers. If they were using AGPL they would have to open source their closed code as well.

Now companies would likely be willing to pay for a commercial licence of an AGPL library they use, to avoid having to open source their closed code. However, many packages don't even have the possibility for dual-licencing (possibly partly due to the paperwork involved for the maintainers), and also having to track commercial licencing (contracts) for many small packages would put corporations off. Instead he proposes that there are "package deals" which lightens the buerocratic burden on both maintainers and "customers".
> Healthcare in the Nordics is free. Just saying.

It isn't free, it's paid by people's taxes AKA redistribution of wealth, a % of the salary and mandatory health insurances. Private hospitals also do exist. Nothing is for free.
It’s be great if there were a mailing list to shoot out a reminder once it’s available
Some package managers can create lists of packages that look for funding, e.g. https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/commands/npm-fund This way you can show your employer which modules they rely on.

Not all open source projects/authors look for funding, for idealistic purpose, easier not to deal with tax implications or they want to stay independent and avoid "We sponsor you, why didn't you implement feature X?" situations.

I'm not sure what you're actually trying to say here. This feels like the positive version of an ad-hominem attack: "Ignore what they're doing because they're really good guys."

None of this changes the fact that the removed tools where the primary means for most people to unencumber content they own.

You have one paragraph dismissing DMCA and copyright, but that's the primary issue here. The fact that it's Readium issuing the DMCA notice instead of Amazon is immaterial in my opinion. The effect is the same.
And yet also it’s standard medical practice to assume causation (for the purpose of not causing harm) when there exists correlation of adverse events with new treatments until proven otherwise.
I understand, still would be interested in his experience.
Good article, however I miss one thing that is commonly lacking in studies and other works involving health and diet, and that's recognizing socio-economic causes and effects:

- poor people having to work two (or, sometimes, three) jobs just to make rent

- poor people (and more and more of the middle class) having long commute times because they cannot afford to live near their work or have to rely on public transport (which tends to take longer than driving by car) [1]

- many people having to work in jobs that don't allow for remote work

- schools are not teaching students how to plan healthy meals or cook, which means children who don't get taught these skills at home (because their parents don't have these skills themselves and/or don't have the time and money to do so) are out of luck

- access to high-quality fresh produce is sometimes spotty and often expensive (not just the produce itself, but also the cost of getting to where said produce is sold!) [2] [3], whereas highly processed, low-quality industrial food is cheap and readily accessible

The result of all of that is that many people having to cut down on sleep and don't have the time/skills/money to eat healthy foods.

The author acts like "diet" is a primary factor, but bad diet habits are a secondary factor. And as long as the socio-economic issues are not recognized as the underlying primary cause, no matter what gets done (e.g. sugar taxes and similar "nudging"), the symptoms (obesity and its followup diseases, sleep problems, mental health issues) won't vanish - the only thing that happens is that the poorer classes of society pay more as a simple result of being poor.

Parts of the Linux stack equivalent to colors and faker are carefully audited and reviewed by multiple people? That sounds to me like elevating them to important bits in a false equivalence.
I don't claim that this is a free or open source license. The OpenFare license is about monetizing software in the most convenient way possible. I agree with the open source definition as given here:

Your anger is misplaced. You assume I’m talking about individuals; I’m blaming capitalist corporations. Science is not a person, it is a process that involves innumerable functions of people - only one of which are the actual scientists.

A great example is the Boeing MAX scandal, where management ignored the engineers and pushed ahead. To be clear, I’m accusing Pfizer et all of corruption. And given their history, I don’t think I’m too off the mark. Underpaid scientists like you should be angry at the corporations and administrations that stole your money.

> disclosed to the server admin

Please read the article before and after these items. The first finding isn't about the server admin but about external parties such as law enforcement (not the user, not the admin). The reason for this finding: Some people claim XMPP traffic can't be censored as nobody can identify XMPP traffic from outside. This isn't true as this finding shows. You can easily detect and filter XMPP coming through network devices.

This finding might be the most unsurprising one in the article from a technical perspective, and we are well aware of this.
