I would agree that US has socialized medicine but not because of the ER, but because most of the Healthcare spending is now under 3 government programs. Medicare, Medicade, and VA.

ER is often a convenient target for explaining the high cost of care but while a factor is not the primary factor. Instead the high cost of normal care is down to regulations, poor government reimbursement rate under the 2 big programs, and our linking health insurance to be "comprehensive prepaid health plans" not insurance in the sense of any other insurance product.

>>>But is that truely a healthcare metric, or is that more a quality of life metric?

I would say it is both. This is another area where I disagree with the healthcare field in as too often healthcare does not factor in quality of life in to their choices. I think quality of life is critical

>>>For lower wait times, are you conflating elective surgery with non-elective? Please show me the USA vs other countries statistics that you are using broken out by elective and non-elective.

I guess then we would have to define what you consider "elective" as many nations with Single Payer health system have broaden that term to include any surgery that is not immediate life saving care.

So something like a hip surgery is "elective" to them, which I do not consider to be elective if you have a broken hip and are in pain all the time. In some nations however it is perfectly acceptable for them to live the rest of their life in a lower mobility state, using pain management drugs to suffer until their death. i find that morally abhorrent

That said at the end of the day even if government run care was grand, wonder, the best thing ever i would still oppose it. healthcare is not a proper role of government.

I do not want a paternalistic government to rule over me like I was a subject of the government.
To some extent, this is rather a general problem with quality of code in dynamically typed languages. Public functions should return predictable results. This is a matter of testing. In my experience, packages on CRAN are well tested.

With respect to dealing with return values, you can circumvent some pain points by using identical(), isTRUE(), isFALSE() in if conditions instead of, e.g., `==` which many people use because this is what they know from other languages. The assertive package is also nice.
Google should add this to their roadmap :P

Point #1 is what comes with freedom of movement. Rich or poor, no one should be stopped from settling or removing himself to wherever he pleases so long as he has the means to pay for it.

Point #3 undermines Point #2. Buying a home anywhere is a personal and unilateral spending decision. And when a sufficient number of people buy homes in a particular area, that becomes the "community".

With Point #4, I agree government exacerbates the issue. However it does so through regulations. Redlining aside, what you've listed are the consequences of those regulations.

My impression is that many configurations not commonly used by home users (but used by power users, schools, companies, etc.) are not properly tested in Ubuntu. In the past we had a lot of problems with pam_unix2, which was the only module at that time which could properly handle NIS passwords and password changes, we ended up recompiling the package as there no reactions to bug reports...
And what you seem to be resistant to getting is that people viscerally love gossip.
It’s way too close to some narratives that are pushed in nominally-liberal but actually quite regressive parts of western societies (how can you pretend to be progressive when you’re arguing that truth is secondary if it makes some people feel bad?)

It’s like Nazi edgelords. If your sarcasm is indistinguishable from propaganda, then either you’re very bad at it, or you’re using “free speech” as a cover because you know your opinions are not acceptable. In either case, these posts do not belong in a civilised discussion.
This is really overcomplicating it. Most mainstream end user Linux programs - including Firefox [0] - are distributed through archives you just unpack and run the binary inside, same as most Windows freeware. AppImages are just self-extracting versions of this. Most of the other formats you mention are for distro package managers - these aren't distribution formats and it's not the responsibility of the program authors to package for every distro, nor is it required for a package to be in repositories for people to run it.

Just ship an ELF binary in an archive. Include any files and libraries you need. Compile against the oldest glibc found in any system you care about supporting. That's all you need.

Nurse faces prison for a deadly error. Her colleagues worry: Could I be next?
This was a tragic case of how an overworked nurse accidentally killed a patient by administering the wrong medication with a similar name. The HN angle is that part of the error resulted from user experience design choices in the hospital's electronic medication cabinet.

An overwhelming number of alerts were routinely displayed, leading to a form of banner blindness and frequent overrides. An overzealous autocomplete suggested the wrong drug with the same first two letters. There was apparently not a permission system in place that blocked her from administering the drug for this patient.

The patient died soon after administration, and the nurse is now facing criminal prosecution for reckless homicide. Other nurses across the country are concerned, especially given their overwhelming workloads during and after covid and the frequent room for error.
Hackernews was my status page so many times before that by now it's a more reliable alert system than most status pages going around.

The first place I search for tech related commentary is on https://hn.aloglia.com/ to see what articles were shared and who commented what on a particular topic on news.yc. It has served me well.

Many "experts" have taken to twitter instead of commenting here (kind of self-censored themselves from entering the discussions here) which is a shame, as twitter is an endless pit that is nigh on impossible to filter for quality opinion.

Going by those dimensions, Brompton takes 89l of space, whereas Helix takes 85l, so I guess they meant the overal volume when rounded up to a containing box.

Is a strong community desirable in and of itself? What normally comes with strong communities is little tolerance for individualism or "idiosyncratic" behavior.

And strong, small communities exist outside rural areas in the form urban ethnic enclaves and suburban HOAs.

I don't side with them. In the grand scheme of things they did open my eyes to the terrible IR processes of a much hyped company (okta), and they exposed how poor their product is/was. Security companies should be held to a higher standard when discussing breaches and IR. okta very much deserved it (and so does microsoft a 1000x). I don't endorse it but I can't hide my Schadenfreude either.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by disentangling it from GTK. I can tell you that a major selling point of the 29 release is that the GUI is more entangled with GTK. Specifically, by removing all X11 code and using only GTK, Wayland will have native support, instead of requiring an additional X server as a shim between the two.
> What would be some good options to get paid for open source?

Many might read this as "good options to get paid money in exchange for open-source source code". Then the answer is simple: you can, but only once. The code is freely redistributable without restrictions by anyone, thus no scarcity that one could get paid for exists after the initial sale (if the sale ever existed).

So I think a better reading of the question is "good options to paid as an open-source developer".

One could have a money pot for certain features of the software (which may or may not be done yet), that interested users can contribute in or outright buy, which you would then develop (or publish). E.g. "I will develop UTF-16 support in FooApp for $5000". This is especially interesting for open-source software used by enterprise. The problem* here is someone else might offer to do it for less (including free). A bad incentive here is that if you also control the "canonical" repository or project, you can reject pull requests for features that you intend to sell.

An alternative is donation-ware, either through the project or directly to you as a person. The problem* here is that whoever controls the landing page of the most popular fork decides where the majority of the donations go to.

Why did I highlight problem with an asterisk in both cases? Because they have a common cause: we would like to think that if we're the original author of a piece of open-source software, we are in some way special. The original, authentic, canonical, "real" software. We deserve to get paid for it, and no one else should. And people tend to agree! But as per my opening paragraph - the exclusivity is inherently gone. So economically, we can't be. And I don't think a good 'solution' for this exists, although I admit I haven't thought about it enough.
Same, I then went back to the original comment and thought "damn, that's a clever joke".
Np. But you must fills us in: Why was iOS QUIC unblockable at the firewall? And how did the presentation help?
> it would solve one of Linux's biggest pain points as a software developer.

Maybe true for proprietary software, but for FLOSS it is a non issue once your software has traction and gets picked up by distributions. I wrote a piece of open source in ~2002 and it is still found in pretty much all distros AND I never spend a minute in pain over packaging difficulties.

IMHO, the basic package managers work REALLY well for FLOSS. The gave me a peak into the AppStore/PlayStore(tm) experience (but then without all the spyware), waaaaay before they even existed.
Websites have always been bad. In fact, they are probably better, these days, than they used to be. Web designers have traditionally not really been engineers, as such, so we can't really expect engineering discipline from them.

Despite that, I feel like Web designers are a bit more disciplined, these days, than the days of yore. It may be because the industry has matured, and there's now a prevalence of knowledge on the matter (as well as a lot of tools and frameworks that are actually pretty good).

The actual software behind them, that said tools and frameworks connect to, on the other hand...
That makes sense, the apps are downloaded from mirrors and it automatically falls back to another if one isn't reachable
Thank you for having us here to discuss Kwiggle. I am the inventor and owner of Kwiggle and would like to give you some insights:

We have been developing Kwiggle for 10 years and producing Kwiggle for almost 3 years.

Every detail has been carefully designed to create a 10kg lightweight folding bike that can even be folded into hand luggage and still go as fast as a normal bike. We have selected materials and manufacturing processes for the drive unit and rims with the highest wear resistance in the bicycle market. We use high-strength aluminum and stainless steel parts for the frame and have extensively tested the stability of the frame and drive unit dynamically and statically.

Our 35 suppliers for material, components and parts manufacture according to our requirements with highest precision, because precision is another important factor for stable and durable components of a folding bike.

In the meantime, our greatest motivation is the many enthusiastic feedbacks from our many customers, who at the moment still come mainly from Germany. We are already shipping the Kwiggle all over the world and Kwiggle already is ridden on every continent.

So we are happy if you take a close look. Please assume that we have already thought about almost every little critical detail that is discussed.

So if you are looking for a very compact folding bike, feel free to take a close look.

The movement on the Kwiggle is new, but very close to your natural walk. And when even a 85-year-old man writes to us, "I can only do two things: ride a rollator and ride a Kwiggle, but I enjoy the Kwiggle more." Then you can assume that you can ride the Kwiggle very well, too.
I don't think you understand cost of living as well as you think you do.
They added this 500 nits limitation to always leave room for HDR, so that SDR and HDR "coexist" properly. But it looks terrible imo I think they failed on that front.

Also they want HDR to be a selling point. Not many phones take HDR videos and images. "It goes brighter" is what makes HDR pop.
That's a lot of text without giving any motivation for your main point. What makes an app package created by the app developer more "commercial" and anti-FOSS than an app package created by a distro-specific packager? What's the difference between an RPM package and a Flatpak package? Proprietary software and FOSS software both get distributed in both kinds of packages.

In short: what are you talking about?

…and a huge thanks to @dang as well!
Citizen in what? A free labor pool for billion dollar companies and hustle culture bros who want to rebrand some FOSS and slap a control panel on it for a quick SaaS flip?

FOSS is supposed to be a gift culture. You give back by making your own, fixing bugs, doing volunteer tech support, or yes paying the creators or a company or foundation that pays them. You don't just take and then whine about "gimme my free stuff," but that's the attitude that many people seem to have adopted.

Another thing I really dislike is the ecosystem being dominated by surveillance capitalist companies. They have a vested interest in using FOSS to steer the ecosystem in ways that benefit them and their interests, and I don't like the direction they are likely to take things. Unfortunately they have plenty of money to "dump" high-quality open source on the market in order to exercise leverage over it. This isn't charity. It's a control technique.

I am personally starting to dislike the OSI for pretending these issues don't even exist. If you look at who funds OSI it's completely captured by mega-corporations, mostly in the surveillance capitalist space.

Open source needs a steward that cares about the freedom part more than the free part.
Thank you for your input <3
It is because unfortunately, it seems many organisations have a conflict of interest in their status pages, updating them affects their SLA uptime, so they'll try and get away with it.

I'm willing to bet that desktop linux's market share is not going to move one way or another with any packaging format changes. The best hope currently is steam deck, which may bring a new generation of users to linux, although in a pretty limited capacity.
So, let me get this straight: In December, I should wake up around around 9:30 or 10:00 and go to sleep around 2:30 to 2:45 in the after noon.

Today, I should have been awake at 6am and I should go to bed this evening around 6:45.

In June, I should be going to sleep around 11:30, but make sure I'm awake around 3:00 or 3:30 am.

If I lived further north, I just shouldn't sleep for a while during the summer, I guess, and hibernate during the winter.

This doesn't seem healthy to me. Those are my actual sunrise/sunset times, and it is obviously ridiculous advice. And it isn't just me: Folks have different internal clocks, folks have children, and we have never really risen and slept as group.

Not to mention that a large swath of folks don't actually have a choice in their daily schedule: Heck, we know teenagers and young adults do better when they sleep later and wake later, yet we schedule school early in the day.

And I'll mention that you aren't really freeing yourself from the clock here: You are just trading something with numbers for a bit fireball in the sky - just an imprecise clock.

Honestly, if you have the privilege to do it, generally sleeping when you are tired and waking when you are rested is probably best - and what that schedule is will probably depend on not only your internal clock, but the things around you (like infants and small children). By all means, if you work best getting up and sleeping early, do so. And you know, ignore advice that is obviously simplified so much.

Those are two separate topics.

Good software is hard, I expect developers to make a living, and have zero expectations of them open sourcing it or distributing it for free. I am happy to pay for useful software and while I think open source is great, I don't veer into "information wants to be free!!1" idealism.

That being said, open source has both formal and colloquially accepted definitions. Not withstanding anything in my previous paragraph, I support holding accountable any entity, large company or individual developer alike, to conform to that notion once they choose to make a claim of being open source.

I. E. You don't Have to make it open source, but if you claim you do, then you actually should :)

> 1. If most of the screen is not full bright white, (e.g. white text on dark background), then LEDs will have plenty of time to cool down

Note that the display is not an OLED display, but a regular IPS LCD with local dimming zones for the backlight[1]. Thus only the dimming zones not covered by white text would get to cool off.

This also points to another downside of pushing up the nits: it will likely increase the bleed-through of the backlight, driving up the black level especially in white-text-on-black scenarios.

Physicists elucidate connection between symmetry and Mott physics
I know many will disagree, but for me, the reason this place is so rad is that it doesn't aspire to be an "online community".

By not striving, it achieves it.

The interface plays a major role. Most are turned away by how 1999 it looks. The flip side of that is that the "community" here is much like those of the 90's. You had to be somewhat intelligent to get online in the first place, and most everyone who could had a lot in common right out of the gate. No need to contrive "community", it forms organically, as it should.
DEB is working fine for most users, for the corporate/Fedora users RPM also is good enough. Flatpak works great for GUI applications as well, it integrates nicely with most "app store" interfaces on Linux.

DEB vs RPM is an ancient debate, each comes with its pros and cons. Flatpak and Snap try to solve a different problem (sandboxing + dependency hell vs stable system-wide dependencies).

MacOS has PKG, but most software I've seen actually comes through DMG images or ZIP files. Windows has MSI, which, if you use it correctly, actually elegantly solves most problems; the features that were added to allow developers to bypass the declarative installation process are what usually breaks MSI installers.

But then modern Windows now features has packages installed through .appx, .appxbundle, .msix, .msixbundle, and plain old .exe. Windows Mobile (based on Windows CE) had .cab; Windows Phone 8/8.1 (based on Windows 8) had .xap; Windows 10 Mobile had .appx. Now Windows 11 also supports .apk files from Android!

In the end, the package method doesn't matter. Users don't care where the package comes from, they just want to install the application and run it. Deb, Flatpak, RPM and Snap all work fine from tools like Discover or GNOME Software; it really doesn't matter to normal users what kind of packaging system they use.

I'm convinced that the income tax is a repressive tax, designed to curb consumption and destroy the middle class.

I have a Samsung monitor that does this too, but it has an override in its menus. In normal mode it’s stupidly dim. HDR looks like shit, so I just want SDR with proper brightness.
