Both my XPS 13 and XPS 15 rock on the table due to being flexed somehow.

Last week I was sitting in a meeting and tilted my screen up a little on the XPS 15 so I could see past some glare from lights and the hinge snapped. It has the smallest little piece of metal at the point it snapped, about 3-4mm wide and 1-2mm thick, it was no wonder it snapped, so work had to give me a new XPS 15. The hinge itself is plastic-welded to the chassis so it can't just he replaced without the whole chassis being replaced.

I was planning for my next laptop to be a Framework anyway but my (£1600) XPS 13 is only ~2 years old so I am a little way from wanting to buy a new laptop just yet.

This sort of behaviour from DELL is confirming that going Framework is probably the right choice.

EDIT: Also don't get me started on the i9 / 4K XPS 15 a friend of mine bought that seems to want to kill itself any time it's switched on, and has never worked correctly since day dot.

Dude. Those two are the same thing.
It could be state sponsored hacking, but I think it's more likely to be don't by someone who got annoyed by the protests.

If I had trucks honking in front of my window, I'd do whatever I could to get them to fuck off as well. No need for the state to get involved if you just piss off enough random people.

> From my personal experience doing homework with my son I think a big issue that is not addressed is that kids/people are different, some don't instantly get it and most f the time the kids will not have the courage to tell the teacher that they do not understand.

You are absolutely right. I have a unique experience with my children. Two of them are homeschooled, two attend public school. The two who are homeschooled learned to read around age five, are excellent readers and are about two years ahead in math/algebra[0]. My public school kids were a little above average students, as well. That all changed over the last two years -- partly due to pandemic/remote learning, but not because we became more actively involved in their education. My two homeschooled kids get three hours of formal education, per day, on a busy day. When you're one-on-one with two students, and the teacher understands the student better than any other human being on the planet, it's really efficient[1].

Having worked remotely for a while, I told them that they have to get to know their teachers. They attended a "remote first" school which we transferred them to -- this was not a normally in-class school that had been forced to go "online only" in an unprepared manner, but one had existed for years prior and taught classes completely differently than the in-person schools. We forced them to schedule time every time it was offered to meet with their teachers. The result was an increased comfort with speaking up when they got lost. Returning to in-person schooling this year, they have kept that pattern; all of their teachers know them well -- when we pop up on video for parent-teacher conferences, we hear "Oh, you're (name omitted)'s parents!" Both are honor-roll students, now, two years in a row.

[0] That's an unscientific assessment; I use it because I regularly caught my son helping his two-years-older stepson with math homework; they were either working on the exact same concepts or they my son had done it the prior year.

[1] This works in the exact opposite direction, as well. My daughter, for a solid year and a half, would break down crying over her inability to understand her math work and would become very defiant about learning -- giving up before trying, etc -- because "it's Mom, and I can get away with these things with Mom". It's manageable, though, when you recognize that the "giving up before trying because she feels she can" is the way she expresses how she's struggling. The advantage of home schooling is that we don't have to move on to the next thing until they understand the previous enough to restore their confidence. We don't have to start summer time-off or even have it at all (it really doesn't feel any different, anyway!) if they need it.
Sure, but the bigger point is that Google is merely showing what the Internet reflects, which in general reflects society. Like when you search for "hotel housekeeper" or something positive like "CEO".
Isn’t this freedom? The right to donate and the right to know who did? Aren’t these donations considered speech (US centric)?

Or it only distasteful when your speech and opinion is public? I support very robust free speech perspectives and freedom of speech rights, but there are also consequences for our speech (and the protections, in the US at least, are from your government only).
As someone who hires many people it comes down to whether or not you are humble about it. Or, to be more blunt: if you're as ass about it.

Humble: "I have a bad thing on my record. I understand what I did wrong and want to move forward with my life, doing good work, and being a responsible citizen."

Jerk: "I got busted but those jerks din't see that I was helping them! It was all BS, dude!"

I'd gladly interview someone that got in trouble but shows humility about it.

P.S. I hate that this is true, and people will probably flame me for saying this. I don't know what you look like or how you dress, but you'll get a lot of mileage out of dressing and looking neat. (no tshirts, hair trimmed and not sloppy, etc.)
Trace your family ancestry and look for any types of citizenship by descent you are eligible for. If you can get another passport leave, then change your name and start fresh. If you have the means you could even try citizenship by investment. For a few hundred grand you can get a new passport, but it might be tricky if they look into criminal past.

The article has an excellent conclusion:

Health care itself explains only a small fraction of health outcomes. Much of what we need for better outcomes is fundamental, but it is not part of health care. Social factors (your zip code, not your genetic code), lifestyle (how you live, not how many medications you take), and livelihood (your work, not just your wealth) are much more important for health outcomes than your specific diagnosis or health-care plan.

I was suicidal for decades. I rarely feel suicidal anymore and it's like a bad habit, a mental tic that occasionally comes back when I'm having an excessively stressful day. Eating and sleeping are usually the way to make that stop.

There are two main components to mental health: physical health and social factors. To whatever degree a mental illness is treatable with medication, it can be viewed as a physical ailment with somatopsychic symptoms.

But even if you can genuinely cure the physical roots, you still need to deal with negative social patterns and "habits" (for lack of a better term) that may remain after the physical roots are resolved. If you can do both things, you can actually resolve it.

It's a better article than a lot I've seen. I find this piece encouraging.

I'm curious, do you feel this way about open source software as well? Does it cheapen the value of being a developer? If not, why do you think art is different and why is open source art a bad thing?
I don't think this is fake or forced at all. It's just a necessary counteraction to the way the modern world is constructed. In the past, you'd maintain all of these weak social connections automatically, simply by going about your daily life. You'd talk to your coworkers daily, the baker/grocer/butcher a few times a week, neighbors weekly at the church, other citizens monthly at a town hall, and so on. You didn't need a system because it just happened naturally.

These days, most of these situations have been removed. Workers change jobs every couple years (and can work remotely), most people barely speak to their neighbors, grocery stores are either huge and faceless or just have items delivered by an anonymous gig worker, town halls don't really exist, etc.

If you think that social connections have value (and they almost always do), this is the rational move.
No-one's making anyone else default to publishing any ol' thing people send them. That's what's new and, I think, not obviously a reasonable thing to do. If there'd been a magazine publisher in the '80s that defaulted to automatically publishing whatever people mailed in, unless a human happened to catch that it shouldn't go out, the obviously correct solution to folks at the time would be for them to stop doing that. Not hire offices full of people to look at terrible material all day to catch some fraction of the worst stuff (while still letting a lot through).

Mine is an argument against "it's different because it's on the Internet", which as far as I can tell is the whole of the argument for this practice. Put it in the real world and it's instantly clear that they should just stop.

My response was about the claim that OP is a health economist while not understanding where the bottleneck in the supply for doctors comes from. I believe you are incorrect as it pertains to doctor salaries. Demand is high and supply relatively low. That is true but this isn’t the only factor that goes into determining pay. That’s an overly simplistic view of things. Supply/demand does not account for everything in this situation. If med students came out of med school with zero debt then the healthcare industry could make being a doctor sufficiently lucrative with salaries that are smaller than they currently are. Lowering the salary a bit in this scenario would not lower supply. You should read about David Carr’s work.
Did you look at the pedestrian deaths graph/100,000 at the bottom of that page? It's not just 'broadly to 50 years ago', the number of deaths has been decreasing, or pretty steady that whole time. Anyway, it was more just the way it was written that was annoying, like the author was trying to pull a fast one on the reader, cherry-picking stats to make a point.
Pretty sure its just grift and good security posture.

It's not good for ones country to be dependent on another for survival (food) which is why they subsidize local production. This even occurs on the state level in the US where (I only lived in costal states) costal states enforce a minimum percentage of land towards farm usage.

International aid is just not letting a disaster go to waste. Obviously you'd allocate federal money to go to some corporation to administer food in disaster area otherwise they'd go under and not donate to you. Any second order effect of wrecking economies and etc won't be attributed to you so there is only upside.
For all you know, this was $state_actor_invested_in_western_chaos, so don't be ridiculous. How you derive the "true colors" of "the left and right" from the fact that someone decided this is an exploit worth investing in, seems to be beyond my understanding?

My Inspiron 5505 trackpad stopped working and Dell sent me a replacement. That didn't fix it and they determined it needed a motherboard. The replacement motherboard had some serious issues or didn't work at all (I can't remember, that was last year). They sent me a refurb 5515 in its place, and now it has locked up several times and has some weird ghosting/artifact stuff going on with the display.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any good PC alternative to Dell.

I just ordered a Macbook.
The latest major release of perl is perl5 version 34, but whatever's in /usr/bin/perl on your distro is almost certainly sufficient for learning with (some of my large scale OO codebases are a bit pickier, but for scripting you're somewhat unlikely to notice the difference).

Curtis Poe's Beginning Perl is a good all around introduction but I'm unsure if it's a good intro if you're aiming specifically for the text mangling side.

For an uber-quick-start, I'd go with https://qntm.org/perl_en and then getting up to speed on the regexp side using the man pages linked from here: https://p3rl.org/RE
It is a matter of kind though. One kind is realism, the other is cynicism. Optimists often lump the two together but they are different things.

If the laws of physics or information theory prevent something, by all means be a wet blanket. Loudly and often

If cultural turf wars in the company prevent something, often the New Guy can succeed where others have failed. If they fall flat enough they can join the Cynics Club with the rest of you, but telling them they will fail just cements your notion of what can and can't be done. Being repeatedly asked the same question by different people at different times and using different phrasing does occasionally get people to reflect on their assumptions. It is in my experience worth letting them invest the time and energy into the attempt. They're new, what's really the opportunity cost of letting them 'waste time on a lost cause'?
The word "notorious" is appropriate for those who think Pierre Trudeau's invocation of the War Measures Act was wrong. And that is a widespread (but far from universal) opinion among Canadians. Note that one reason for invoking the War Measures Act was that it allowed for the arrest of people for whom there was no good evidence of criminal conduct.

Gosh dango it!
this comes up every single time someone shares their work for free. look, i have some sympathy for you, and yes it leads to devaluing some work by people who don't value your work, but people are going to keep doing it for exposure, you don't have the power to stop them, so accept that this is a thing and find the people who DO value your work. you have a powerful, awesome skill that I'd kill to have. I hope you realize how prized you are by the people that can't do what you do.
I didn't say anything about primates... I was talking about nature in general. And I didn't say that humans are more aggressive than all other animals, only that we are among the most aggressive. And yes, chimpanzees and some other primates are pretty similar to humans in aggression. But very few other animals are; aggression is usually confined to fighting over mating rights or territory, and the former is often quite ritualistic.

In Latin America the currency isn't trusted so they hoard USD, in the US inflation plus low bond yields are driving the financialization of housing (ie. turning the world into renters). Maybe bitcoin will fix these. At any rate, USD is going to zero, so you have to pick a financial life-raft one way or the other.

Curious - other than Stack Overflow and obviously Microsoft, what other well known tech companies use .NET as their primary stack?

In any case, before I removed mention of C#/.NET on my profile and resume, I would be bombarded with recruiter e-mails and phone calls advertising jobs at old school cost center companies, most of them paying very poorly too.

After removing C#/.NET, these have gradually declined, and nowadays any recruiter that contacts me is for a job/company that I would generally be more interested in.
> Is it the perception that increased competition will have negative effects on members' incomes or is that actually true?

Generally true in other areas. Health care is not that exceptional a market, though it is exceptional in several respects. We do generally observe in health care specifically that increases in market concentration increase prices.

> I swear I remember a story, study, allegory about a second doctor moving to town and both incomes went up.

I'll take a look if you can find it. It's possible. One story I can imagine would be something like: First Doctor can see more patients b/c he can send his more complicated patients to Second Doctor's specialty practice. And Second Doctor moved from a smaller town w/ fewer patients in the specialty.

In the aggregate and outside of special cases more supply will bring prices down.

My issue with their zerotier was their slow relay server, which is only used when NAT hole punching doesn't work. I got this impression that zerotier doesn't really seem to be interested to invest more into their relay servers (adding more location and increasing capacity). Tailscale might has better relay servers but I haven't tested it yet, but I plan to test them later when I got some free time.
The median is $50 and the 95th percentile is $200 so it's mostly small donations with a few (22) donations over 5K. Plus the one 215K whale.
Foreign support to this movement is not exactly a secret. They were waiving Trump flags, confederate flags and lots of MAGA signs were seen among the protesters. Also the movement has been publicized on Fox News and by famous right-wing people in the US, that's just normal that it would eventually lead to a lot of people in the US deciding to start donating. The simplest explanation is more likely than the conspiracy that the Canadian government had time to make up fake donations from the US.

As one of the donors included in this hack, I am not entirely sure what they're out to accomplish.

Despite eye-rolling media mischaracterizations of these truckers as you-know-whats, it's a run of the mill workers strike. It has also been extremely peaceful and frankly comical at times. (We can contrast this with the "fiery yet mostly peaceful protests" of 2020 that negatively affected working class neighborhoods and how that was endorsed as an exercise in contrast. CHAZ, CHOP, etc.)

These workers and people who have to work in meatspace have had their lives impeded for two years now, but because white collar, work-at-home employees are mildly inconvenienced for a week, they're advocating police action against them and calling it an insurrection.

I'm proud to endorse this honkery, and I do not mind if it inconveniences some bureaucrats, as my neighborhood in Austin had police helicopters circling overhead for a week, cars set on fire, many buildings along 6th entirely destroyed, all while employees at my company enjoyed and supported the carnage financially.

Whether they are the best jobs or not, the fact the company explains not paying more than US$1-2.50/ hour because it would "distort" the local labor markets makes 0 sense. It's brutal work and underpaying for it by outsourcing the jobs to poorer places is a way of hiding true costs, much like how we ship our trash to other countries so we can feel better about "recycling" when they throw it away.
