My operating costs for a 38' are around $10-15k annually, including a slip at a (low-cost) marina and maintenance, but doing most maintenance myself. The first year had at least $10k more in "catch-up" maintenance items. I do pay others to periodically haul the boat, repaint the hull, check zincs, etc.

It would be considerably higher paying shop rates for most maintenance, or if you had expensive tastes in sails or electronics.

For me this works out to about 15-20% of the cost per boat in ongoing annual opex cost. Kind of like a software maintenance contract!

Ongoing maintenance includes stuff like:

* Engine maintenance: oil, fuel filters, oil filters, impeller, occasional corrosion repainting, occasional replacement of wear parts (belts, exhaust elbow, flex piping)

* Fixing leaks from things like deck prisms, portholes, deck, chainplates. Usually involves epoxy, sealant, disassembly of components

* Care of interior and exterior wood - varnish, or oiling, or other protection as preferred

* Regular lubrication of moving parts, such as the helm and steering assembly

* Replacement of running rigging (ropes that control sails) when it gets tired

* Checking standing rigging (steel cables that keep the mast up), replacing when needed, though these last a long time. This usually needs professional riggers and is more expensive.

* Keeping corrosion under control - stainless is never as stainless as you want

* Replacing sails every 10-15 years, assuming you are ok with more tired sails toward the end

* Having diver clean hull, also repainting hull every 2 years, replacing zincs as needed, usually 1-2x annually depending on water type

And other stuff. Replacing marine toilet pumps, fixing shower sumps, replacing bilge pumps, fresh water pumps, etc.

These things aren't as bad as they sound if you like working with your hands and have time. I like it because my day job limits the use of my hands to the keyboard. And you don't need to know how to do all this stuff - I learned almost all of it while attempting to do it, and I still learn all the time. But if hands-on work isn't your cup of tea, it will get very expensive.

The reward, beyond the fun of doing the work, is sitting on the deck, anchored at a remote island looking at incredible sunsets in the summer. Or being the only boat out on a winter day and seeing a humpback whale surface near your boat, hang around for a while. Or sitting down below next to a warm fireplace in the winter with a good book listening to the patter of rain. Sleeping on a comfortable bed in absolute silence in remote areas, far away from any cars, sirens, or other people. Trimming the sails and feeling the power of the wind energize the boat, pulling it forward as your boat nearly silently cuts through the water.

For me, totally worth it, but it does become a fairly important part of your life.
Not incendiary at all. I've been worried about that, but as we've adopted more skills assessments, the quality of hires has went way up as measured by first year retention. We're not losing people because they can't do the job.
"Even a year after vaccines we are still being asked to treat Covid like it is the #1 priority in our lives. More important than our well being, our mental health, our communities, our children, or anything else."

There is no "legacy FB page" to join as a participant. That's the problem. The hackers deleted the page.

I mentioned it to another poster here, but essentially I tried to inform my subscribers about the hack before the page was deleted, as part of a high-profile post (the end of year best metal albums post, which is the yearly highlight of the page, and always gets a lot of visibility).

Unfortunately, not many people seemed to notice or act on the 'hack' stuff in the post, even though the post itself did actually get a lot of votes and 'thank you' replies from bands. But only a handful of people subscribed to the 'backup' page that I mentioned in that post.

Unless I manage to get the page restored somehow, the best I can hope for is that next year, anyone who "actively" looks for the end of year list and notices the page is gone, might decide to google 'metalised', end up on my blog, see what happened, and subscribe to the backup page ... but that already feels like it would be too much effort for the average facebook user, even if they did get value from that community. To be honest, it's more like the commenter below says. If my Heavy Metal community A disappears overnight, chances are people will simply jump over to Heavy Metal community B rather than start looking for 'fediverse' stuff (I don't even know what that is, to be honest, and I doubt many of my subscribers would either).

I personally really like x-splines:

https://inversethought.com/jordi/xsplines/

I find them super-intuitive to use. The fact that at each node you can make it close, sharp, or interpolating is quite helpful. They're also not hard to implement. You can read my js code to see how I did it.

They're implemented in Xfig and just about nowhere else. I wish they were elsewhere. I've been thinking about getting them into GNU IMP. Maybe some day I'll sit down and try to write patches for it.
Finding businesses that could be copied is easy, figuring out if it's worth replicating them is more difficult. When I stumble on an average website,the information about their profitability isn't alway available. I've seen shiny, slick businesses that make less money than I pull in doing my day job,while there are some shabby outfits with 20 years old websites that are real cash cows for their owners.
That's one condescending and manipulative article.

Beyond that, one imagines there may be some performance and power overhead, and many hardcore high-FPS players will probably prefer a display that natively matches their target resolution. It eliminates unnecessary variables that might affect performance.
Do you know what the positivity rate is of your school population?

Our school requires masks at all times on campus, inside or outside, vaccinated or not (we're in California). However, prior to omicron we had 0 cases (school has about 500 people at it teachers+staff+kids). With Omicron we've only had 37 cases.
@ygjb a few points:

> The right to bear arms supercedes the right to live in safe communities (and as a former infantry man, I can assert that more weapons in the hands of untrained civilians does not make communities more safe).

True, they need training. In 1966 the city of Orlando trained women to shot and the number of rape incidents dropped 90%.

> The right to an health care (abortion) is superceded by so called "religious freedoms".

That's not health care, that's killing another human being. Your freedom ends where the life of another human being begins.

> The right to vote is superceded by politicians who rewrite election laws and electoral districts to choose their constituents.

Are you referring to forbidding criminals to vote and democrats paying what's due for them so they can vote (presumably left)?
I can't say I feel too strongly about that because voting is pretty useless. Rich people will anyway buy the government whether that's right or left.

> Freedom to discriminate is beginning to supercede the right to freedom from discrimination.

This is a massive problem, I agree. Positive discrimination and allowing companies to favor women and minorities (excluding asians, they're doing good enough on their own) is pure racism / sexism.
It is a risk. The discourse on VPNs is messy. It's true that you shouldn't rely solely on VPNs for access control to applications. It's also true that putting important services behind a VPN significantly reduces your attack surface, and also puts you in a position to get your arms around monitoring access.

The right way to set this stuff up is to have a strong modern VPN (preferably using WireGuard, because the implementations of every other VPN protocol are pretty unsafe) with SSO integration, and to have the applications exposed by that VPN also integrate with your SSO. Your users are generally on the VPN all day, and they're logging in to individual applications or SSH servers via Okta or Google.

"RIP VPNs" is not a great take.

Argentinian here, 30 years old, middle-class. Yes, we have a big inflation problem and what the article says is correct, except I don't know anyone who buy tuna or pasta or whatever to store because of inflation. In fact, anyone who would do that wouldn't be smart at all, would be pretty stupid.
A few ways to fight inflation is buying dollars and selling them later: our inflation index goes hand to hand with our USD:ARS, even even below that (intuitevly it may be a problem). So it makes no sense to buy things to store later.
What we do is buy stuff such as electronics in isntallments payments, even if the interest rate is high. Quick example:
If I buy a computer in cash, its price is 100. If I have to pay 12 installments, each installment is 20 (240 in total). However, in one year, due to inflation, 20 may be nothing compared to what i earn (salaries are also raised to try to keep up with inflation), so big payments we usually do that.
But almost no one get groceries in installments, etc (also: your credit card / bank imposes you a limit on installments payment, so it doesn't make sense to waste them in daily things and you try to save it for when you need it, such as electronics or emergencies)

It's really just a matter of changing gears - you carry a physical key to your house, car, and your online life. You lose the key, you have to go through a bit of pain to get a new one.

>There are circumstances in which "drop everything" makes sense - if coronavirus were ten times more fatal, we'd do it naturally.

It was pretty damn fatal when we had no containment measures or vaccines. We're in a totally different situation now, and need to get out of the "minimize cases" mentality.

Yep, vaccine passports suck, and I say that as a supporter of them. I am not going to argue the merits or flaws of them with a throwaway account, but they have not been found to violate laws, and no jurisdiction in Canada that I am aware of has had to use exception powers (not withstanding clause, or reasonable limits under Section 1 of the Charter).

As for not being discussed in the latest elections, "if we are elected, we will implement vaccine passports" was largely the premise for the last Federal election in Canada, and while they didn't win in a landslide, Canadians voted in a government to implement them.

I don't think "most of the world" is a functioning democracy, but in Canada, our democracy is functioning, if continuing to be undermined by our political parties. Democracy around the world is at risk, and spreading misinformation about actual election outcomes and unpopular, but legal policies doesn't really help.
Yeah, we still use privacy destroying services everyday and most people believe their smartphone listens to them passively all the time. I think it was just too early in the 2010s, no one would bat an eye to a wearable camera headup display thingy now.

> This is shifting the goal. The disclaimers I cited come directly from the study and are highly relevant when comparing the effect of natural immunity vs vaccination.

No, it isn't. It's clarifying that there's a great big forest here, lest we get lost in the details of the spots on the bark beetles in one particular tree. The immunity granted by prior infection is at least on par with that of vaccination.

Moreover, I quoted directly from the study to explain why short-term squiggles in the lines at the bottom of the graph aren't worth dwelling upon: the vaccines are getting worse over time (against symptomatic infection), and the effect of natural immunity is gaining importance. This is exactly as you would expect for a virus that has evolved to partially escape the vaccine.

Regardless, these are minor differences. You can't reasonably argue that vaccination has a definitive advantage over natural infection. We should be counting both.
Trading class war on the educated rich for class war on the less educated poor (gains have generally gone to the very rich for ~40 years) is not any better.

"when you mix science and politics, you get politics" -- John Barry
I've been pro-masking-in-schools for other reasons (including the practical reality that many schools would have had to shut down without it, since many teachers would have just quit—I know a lot of teachers, and whether you think it's right or wrong, that was going to happen, last school year especially, if precautions like masking, distancing, and long quarantine periods hadn't been enforced) but the risk specifically to kids under ~12 has been low enough not to trigger my "this is significantly-enough riskier than the average time a kid spends being driven around in a car in a given year, that I should worry about it" alarm pretty much throughout the pandemic. I looked into it when the first semi-reliable mortality numbers started to come in (I have some young kids, so of course I did) and it seemed well below nearly anyone's freak-out threshold, except for kids with other risk factors, some of whom probably shouldn't have been in school at all for any of this.

I agree with the ‘promise’ of the declarative. A useful analogy is human teams. Effective leaders are often good at the declarative - they provide a vision or end state and the creative problem solving team members determine how to implement the stated vision in relation to the current state. The result is determined by the problem solving ability of the element to which the end state was given.
A counter that count the number of projects that use the library could be useful too. If 20000 projects use it, 300 more since last month. It's clearly alive even if there is no new feature/bug fix since a year.
Yeah we usually brainstorm to figure out an solution that can integrate multiple groups. You can’t decide these kinds of issues solo
> However, I find these distractions are much stronger correlated with a person's economic situation rather than race or gender.

Which changes nothing when its a 99% correlation by race and gender.

Its not a dissertation, its acknowledging that something has the result of marginalizes groups disproportionately. Disproportionately means that it doesn't affect everyone, it doesn't 'affect all women and all minorities. It means disproportionately affects, due to their disproportionate representation in these distracting economic circumstances, so lets do something else instead since the reasons why it affects them isn't going to change in our lifetime.

If people got formal education they took the risk for that allotted time. It doesn't matter if a time-discriminatory process takes less time, its an additional and unnecessary risk for the candidate.

If people didn't get formal education then they didn't take the risk for the allotted time, they just have exposure to the tasks the company needs. That alone suggests more inspiration is needed to have a different way of determining their compentency.
a couple of exchanges already have FIX APIs. I think Coinbase Pro and Gemini both do.
Ask HN: Have YouTube's recommendations gotten worse?
I watch a lot of YouTube. Most days a few hours, so they have a lot of data on what I watch. My google account is ancient, It's been with me since the start of gmail and became a YT account when they took over. Lately the recommendations that I get are a lot more repetitive than they used to be. I get recommended the same videos over and over, sometimes I even get recommended things I would never have seen in my feed years ago - things that are of no interest that used to be outside of my bubble for the longest time. I also see tons of videos that I know that I have watched being marked as un-watched and recommended again and again. I don't know if this is imagined of if their algorithms have become terrible lately. Anyone else have this feeling?
That's all good except for the 'bank' part.

Slow breathing exercises and grounding (e.g., look at the things around you and name what they are) work well for me.

Once it gets past a certain threshold it gets harder, so being mindful that one is coming on and routing it before it gets into a positive feedback loop is very important. Leave the situation you're in, e.g. tell others that something has come up and you have to go.
I upvoted your comment for your overall sentiment about focusing on what life is really about, and not driving to the lowest-common-denominator of quality of life.

But I'd also like to downvote you for the this comment:
"I tend to think that people who operate in this way are subhuman, in the genuine sense of the word"
>> It's not right, not useful, and not reflective. Much better is to assume others are also smart, well-educated and well-intentioned, and then try to genuinely understand why they believe or act the way they do.
It probably is in countries with capital controls, if you use it as a means to circumvent those capital controls.
I'm unable to reply to your latest comment and must leave presently so I will reply here. I feel the perspective you've taken downplays things a bit.

The history of astronomy spans thousands of years, a high number of unusual observations will sure to have accumulated over time. But finding an unpredicted aspect of a previously unobserved class of objects is an exciting event carrying a relatively high amount of surprisal. The involved astronomers are clearly excited and being reserved with language is to be expected of formal papers. While not an astronomer, I find the resulting changes in observation patterns exciting to read about and look forward to learning about the unusual radiative properties of such magnetars.
The idea is to reduce the spread of the virus in order to protect everyone from a lack of hospital beds and exhausted medical staff. It's not about protecting the individual children (at least not primarily, because they are so low risk). Whether or not this is still a useful approach probably depends on the locale. It seems like places where the Omicron wave is rapidly ending, having children wear masks is entirely pointless.
