Yes I'm right handed while writing. I've never tried Dvorak because I found it very scary and with a steep learning curve but maybe I can give it a try.

I was also suspecting that the cause might be because of the thinness of the keyboard.

Anyway you have any link that shows the fact that more keystrokes are on the left side? I would love to see the distribution
They aren’t the primary market. Except for drugs used in hospitalizations and certain other settings, Medicare itself doesn’t cover drugs. Drug coverage is under Part D plans offered through private insurers, who do negotiate prices. The goal is to have a many-to-many market. When you have a one buyer to many seller market, you open yourselves up to monopsony, which can drive prices below the efficient level.

I used to generate most of my diagrams in PlantUML[0], but recently found that my not-taking app, Joplin[1], has Mermaid built in.

PlantUML has the benefit that you can include it in your builds, e.g. parse any .plantuml files in `make doc` or in your CI.

But I like Mermaid more: its easier to read, less quirky and easily integratable in the markdown (or note-taking apps) without the need for extra build steps.

And today. I hear people do it regularly in private contexts, and we also see it in public ones.
The "peer to peer idiot networking and amplification" effect you mention is real but it's dangerous, or at least wildly inaccurate, to explain the rise of our "disinformation society" by dismissing the culprits as "idiots." Many of them are, but...

Look at the politicians and others pushing blatant disinformation and profiting from it. They are doing this with a great degree of skillful malice. Nobody listens to actual idiots; they want to emulate and follow the successful/powerful people who are savvy enough to hone their message and their image.

Look at the people swallowing these lies. Many of them are generally intelligent and/or successful people. Many Trump supporters are quite successful and affluent. However, their faith in actual academics, experts, and traditional institutions has been shattered, leaving uniquely susceptible to malignant influences who are eager to fill this "trust vacuum."

Users are consistently choosing locked down Apple ecosystem over more open Android. How are you going to explain this?

You also need to realise that you’re not an average user. You’re in 0.0001% of the population when it comes to use of technology and your preferences might not reflect the average Joe.

Most phones would quickly fill up with apps doing malware, phishing, spam, crypto mining and DDoS attacks.
How is digital currency, in general, anonymous? Bitcoin records all of your transactions, publicly, essentially forever.

If at any point in time there is a way to tie your identity to _any_ of the transactions made in your lifetime, then all of your other transactions get deanonymized retroactively. Maybe you made a mistake, maybe a bug is introduced into the Bitcoin software, maybe the government passes a new law, etc.

Cash doesn't have this issue. The bills I'm paying with when buying coffee at Starbucks, don't give you visibility into all of the purchases I've made with cash for the past 20 years.

The only exception would be crypto like Monero, but it's not the rule. Bitcoin is the flagship coin which somehow got people to think it's anonymous.

All it takes is for the government to require you to use the same wallet that's tied to your identity and then every citizen's transaction, past or future, is traceable to a degree that is just not possible with cash. That's a dangerous capability and we, the people, should make sure not to slowly end up in such a situation.
It's sad to see people genuinely wanting to watch others lose wealth so they can relish in it.
While Netflix level performance is difficult, getting 90% there is a lot easier today than 10 years ago. And 90% there seems to be fine for consumers as long as the content is there
This would be practical - but what about companies like "Free Now" that are (at least currently) seemingly allowed to keep operating under that name in the Play store.

Why delete something from the name that is actually transporting information for the user just because Google arbitrarily decides that for this rue the mistranslation comprises a rule break while other apps (with probably bigger marketing spend on Google) are allowed to keep "Free" in the name.

Imho is not the rules per se. It is the mistranslation and also the arbitrary enforcement that reminds me personally of stories by Kafka (the author, not the tech).
Netflix needs to fire and retool their current content production leadership; they're killing their product. They then need to stop allowing their productions to be written by inexperienced writing teams (Cowboy Bebop suffered from this acutely, look up the IMDB resumes).
Jenkins is security game over if you overlook a small crucial configuration option or if you install any plugin (and it's unusable without some plugins), as plugin development is a free-for-all and dependencies between plugins are many. We basically decided that one instance of Jenkins plus slaves was unfixable and unconfigurable to use securely across multiple teams with developers of differing trust levels (external contributors vs normal in-house devs) and started fresh with a different CI design.

Jenkins is a batteries excluded pattern in one of its worst possible incarnations.

Jenkins is basically a CI framework for trusted users only. Untrusted workloads must not have access to anything Jenkins.
I think there would be a market for that, but not one that justifies a $230 billion valuation. It would be virtually impossible for Netflix to pursue a strategy like that because they would be admitting defeat and taking a loss for their shareholders.
This wiki article is great, and is basically the answer to OPs question.

Everybody is very positive about Tiger’s UI, but what I remember were the disjointed elements. Brushed metal was prevalent in many apps, and completely broke the UI’s look.

Even though we have many gaping holes in the details of the current UI due to the many paradigms (SwiftUI, AppKit, Catalyst), skin-deep macOS is much more agreeable.
What I find interesting is how the FBI attempted to blackmail him with the constant cheating he did against his wife and managed to not give in (it was a ridiculous level of infidelity). The FBI embarked on an outrageous power trip in order to keep control over "dissidents” and save for some bad press, the institution has never faced consequences in any meaningful way.
Another Brit who's no familiarity with it. I have listened to a few of the Goon show episodes but it didn't ring a bell. I don't think my parents were fans, so perhaps I'd have heard it referenced if they were.

On the other hand, I rescued my late mother's recipe books when we cleared their house and I can offer up a recipe for "Brown Stew" if anyone's interested. Still not "Windsor" though.

I've been puttering around for years but never really paid much attention to APKs because I hate working on my phone. I am going to play around with this to check out why some Google store apps tend to demand pretty extensive privileges for fairly benign use cases. I figured it was a huge pain in the butt and never even looked for a decompiler.

I just shoveled it off on to my never ending list of things I'm going to look at when the secret for immortality is found.

That is untrue. Mailinator definitely still supports pointing any domain to it's MX records and will allow all incoming email (modulo DoS protection, abuse, etc). Such email will arrive in the respective Mailinator inbox (i.e. bob@yourdomain.com goes to the "bob" inbox)
Cal Newport essentially calls this "Shallow" vs. "Deep" work and I think it is a more useful sorting practice of chores for me. I know I can intensely focus only so many hours in a day. The rest of my day is structured around that notion. That deep work, every day, is sacred. Shallow work happens around my scheduled, uninterrupted deep work blocks. Shallow work is everything else. While it is helpful to let the sub-conscious dictate what sort of work goes on to a degree, I have found you can also steer the ship in the direction you want with good habits. It takes some time and scheduling discipline, but ultimately it has allowed me to be more productive.

Many programming tasks, refactorings, and documentation writings are shallow work. Much of planning and preparing for deep work is shallow work in programming. Learning how to optimize the deep focus time is really helpful. Grease the gears, prime the pump, etc. etc.

There is wisdom in acknowledging a particular mental state and understanding it, but it is also wise to know how to guide your mind to the state you want when you can best use it based on your schedule and other factors. There is a lot of push and pull here, but discipline in habits will let you control the monkey mind, as the author calls it, in my experience. Though I think of my "me" as a monkey and the rest of it as an elephant to properly put it in scale (thanks Joscha Bach + Lex Fridman). The monkey tries its best to guide the elephant to the right place :)

Summary at the top:

> This well, the Red Hill shaft, is one of three that provides water to residents on the Joint Base Pearl Harbor and Hickam (JBPHH) on the island of Oʻahu. For weeks, families living on the base registered complaints of a gasoline smell and taste in their water and illnesses ranging from vomiting to headaches, stomach pain, burning skin, and diarrhea. Initially, the navy dismissed residents’ concerns, but later admitted the water was unsafe for consumption and relocated more than 3,000 families to hotels. Because the navy shares an aquifer with the Board of Water Supply, officials worry that contamination in navy water wells could affect the city of Honolulu’s drinking water as well.

So: the people currently affected all live on the navy base. But the concern (not yet proven) is that this spill may affect the city water supply. Certainly concerning... do we know how to clean an aquifer if it becomes contaminated like this?
>>> ...chargeback free donations...

>> Are chargebacks on donations are major issue for any legitimate non-profit organization?

> Virtual game currencies, controversial politics, porn, gambling etc.

Paying for porn is not a donation.

Paying for in-game currency is not a donation.

Gambling is not a donation.

Giving money to someone for "controversial politics" is almost never an issue, especially if you're actually donating (which is only possible if you are, e.g., giving money to a registered candidate, a PAC, or an org that files a Form 8872). I make a lot of political donations and have never had an issue.

If you're:

1. giving money to someone for political reasons, who

2. explicitly opts out of tax-advantaged status so that they don't have to use that money in a way that's congruent with donor's intent, and

3. has a huge issue with charge-backs on unrestricted non-tax-advantaged gifts...

IDK. I'd tend to consider that a massive red flag. But I guess funding scam artists who get tons of money from identity thieves and prey on controversial politics is indeed a use-case for crypto.
That's like MSFT issuing MicrosoftDollars to pay their dividents.
One interview I heard called it 'gesture politics'. Sadly, I think that assessment is on the money. It's just not plausible that there are only 7k classrooms in the UK that have bad ventilation.

I think it's the deep malaise of UK politics that they just hate spending money on anything, even if it will save far more money in the future. It's why the UK has the GDP-per-capita of Japan, but mostly looks like Serbia.
I’m curious: why the use and emphasis on feature flags? Are you looking to replace git?
I don't actually think the graphics are particularly impressive, aside from a handful of pseudo-3D effects. It's definitely recognizable as an NES game to me.

But in terms of game and level design, I just think Kirby's Adventure has a more modern sensibility to it. It's the kind of game I can just pick up and play for an hour without realizing it (and not in a doomscroll-y way).

Perhaps if I was more studied in game design I'd be able to pick out exactly what it was doing differently. I suspect it largely comes down to the controls and the level design—and even the simple fact that it's not punishingly difficult.
The author is not excited about "No hidden control flow", but as a code reader it's really nice. It means that the only context you need in order to understand the control flow of a given line of code is that line itself. You don't need to check for overloaded operators, exceptions, virtual functions, etc. It's this property of Zig that I think makes "read the stdlib source" actually a viable strategy for learning how to use it.
There isn't a lot but For All Mankind is great and The Morning Show is pretty good. Foundation is OK.
The amount of artwork NFTs that has "Metadata: Centralized" in their details appear very high, although it's difficult to get any exact numbers. As far as I can tell, OpenSea doesn't provide an option to filter based on this field.
The leak rate of fueling stations and tanks is rather alarming. Oregon DEQ reports a 3% yearly rate which includes tanks, dispensers, and piping.[1]

It seems any petroleum fueling infrastructure needs to be moved far far away from ground or surface water infrastructure.

I started a site at postpump.org to encourage land use updates to do this-- many municipalities have done it already.

It is a tragedy this keeps happening and the I am sure the federal government likes to play by different rules. Hopefully one day we can stop storing tens of thousands of gallons of petroleum right next to fresh water sources.

This (un-productivity due to compulsive multitasking) is a huge problem for me, and the article provided some succinct, actionable mitigation strategies, namely:

1. Time-blocking
2. Ready-to-resume plan
3. The Ivy-Lee method

I was familiar with time blocking, and in general familiar with ideas behind "ready-to-resume", but not Ivy-Lee, which looks attractive. In particular, I liked this because it also has a decision-fatigue reduction component.

That would be a wrong assumption, I believe.

You don't need to know much about crypto to be able to accept it.

Like English sparrows in the US, they are here about 150 years or something and spread all across North America, and are showing significant regional variations in plumage and song. No doubt they would give rise to a whole clade of sparrow species if the humans all disappeared.

Rapid speciation on and island is like the finches on Galapagos; there were just one kind of bird on the island so all the ecological notches were available (bug eating, grass eating, seed eating on ground, eating stuff on trees, etc.), so those finches evolved relatively quickly into different species with different beaks and behaviors to get different food sources.

Evolution itself is more or less constant process, genes reproduce in populations whose size is constrained by the conditions, with heritable variations. How much evolution pushes the phenotypes (actual bodies of the organisms) to change over time has a lot to do with the conditions and probably a lot to do with “how does the genetic and developmental system allow things to change easily” nature of the creature. So getting larger or smaller is real simple. Flying is possible but takes more time. For vetebrates, getting four eyes seems to be right out. Getting smarter seems to be hard. Etc.
I’m like you. I got grandfathered into their old 2-disks-a-month plan that costs 5 dollars. I do enjoy putting movies on my queue and then getting pleasantly surprised a few months later when I receive them.

Too bad their fantastic DVD catalog dwindles every year. Soon it will be reduced to not much bigger than their streaming catalog.
YMMV, but if the immediate team that you're working with has good leadership, sane people with rapport and trust amongst each other that can go a long way towards a positive working environment, even if the organization as a whole is an ocean of shit-show. It just means you got to be ready to jump ship quickly if something poisons your team (eg, an acquisition, or org-change).
The US systems are not designed to withstand subversion and sabotage. It costs a couple million [1] to install your DA in a large city such as LA and then you can effectively cancel law enforcement in the area because there is really no recourse against this, nobody thought before that the chief elected jurist will just refuse to do his job.

One of the Top Hacker News Posts Is a Hilarious Lie
I dropped Netflix about a year ago in no small part because any show with dark scenes (e.g., "Stranger Things") look like a blocky mess in HD. For a while, I thought somehow my network was at fault, but I don't have the issue with other services. When I looked into it, it seems Netflix's HD compression is bad on OLED displays and the "solution" is to pay them a premium to get 4K streams. Meanwhile, the other providers include 4K in their base offering and things generally look great.
Any plans to release to code? I would love to take a look.
Are they unable to tow it out of the environment for some reason?
And they were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should?
Sure. A wise man once said, "The world certainly isn't perfect but it has improved."
I have worked in some dysfunctional places, and had the good fortune to work in places that were not. While I learned useful things from both, I got way more out of the latter. In many cases, it was on a level that the dysfunctional places simply could not reach.

I'd prefer to support those making open access textbooks, though; making textbooks open access is certainly necessary but I would rather help out those who believe in that cause by writing them, given the choice. We actually use open access textbooks in our high school and it's preferable to hunting down a PDF and sharing it with all the other students
Just slowly eat more and more food to expand the size of your stomach, not really a trick to it or anything. I've heard the professional hot dog eaters drink large amounts of water with large meals to expand their stomachs though if you want to get there fast I guess. An actual step by step would probably just doing two 1k meals then shifting over 200 calories at a time if you are still feeling bloated.
I just recently learned that Logitech unifying receivers were susceptible to “mousejacking”[1] for years before a firmware update fixed it in 2016. There’s still probably many non-updated receivers out there.

Definitely. It feels lively and exciting. Jonny Ive's decision to go with flat killed all joy in the UI space and millions of designers copied it mindlessly which I find especially egregious.
The MicrosoftDollars they issue to pay their employees seem to be getting them some talent!
The filings are pretty much the same. The biggest difference, as far as I know, is there's no roadshow to get institutional investors onboard. But this isn't technically a requirement of an IPO. And a direct listing also skips that.
That model is exactly what "killed" Hulu back when it was their only real competitor.
Answering myself: yes, is industry standard, definitely a little odd to not have it configured on a corporate network past a handful of employees.

JS libs like Highlight.js and Prisma.js can be ran server side and then you send the HTML/CSS like normal.

Generally you'd want to pre-render blogs so syntax highlighting should be compiled HTML/CSS during the build process.

CF workers and other edge computing work great if you have dynamic content if you don't want the client to use JS.

For non-readonly, Monaco and Codemirror are available but heavier ofc.

Anyone else know of another perf syntax highlighting lib? I like collecting tech.
That's a wonderful tip, thank you!

The most basic, trite relationship advice we've all heard is that "you must love yourself before you can love someone else". It doesn't seem crazy to suggest that the way one judges one's self affects the way others do.
Google did recently update its review process. I was complaining about its previous review process for 10 months at least. It's a little better now.

Previously, an app was suspended without any warning. You even couldn't comply with their requirements neither because they would deactivate access to the app in question in Google Play Console. Your only chance was an appeals request. Your app still suspended in the meantime which could be months. And you might loose all ratings, reviews, and downloads of your app.

My feedback at this time was:

> An easy but important improvement in Google Play:

1.) Don't suspend and remove the complete package id from Google Play, but instead just prevent the specific app update from publishing

2.) If the app update doesn't comply with Google's policies, then give developers the opportunity to fix that

3.) Developer submits a new app update which does comply

4.) App update gets approved by Google

5.) Google is happy and developers are happy

Which might be the case now. At least in Germany.
This is why 'regulatory bodies' are fundamentally a scam.

Tort law remains the worst way to prevent these kind of abuses, except for all the others that have been tried. But the same scam artists (lobbyists, politicians) who convince the public that what we need is just a little more regulation also engage in "tort reform" and it's no coincidence that means removing private causes of action.
