Merely using an API doesn't infect GPL software (for example, syscalls on an OS). The actual legal argument from the FSF on this point is more convoluted, and hinges on the plug-in being a derivative work in the legal sense. Whether this is true or not isn't settled.

It seems to me that the legal community leans in the direction that using an API doesn't make a work derivative in and of itself, and that transforming the actual work and redistributing the transformation (or the work itself) is required. It is however clearly a gray area.
Ok, when this issue was escalated did that team get paged in to work on a potential data loss issue?

If not, I’m concerned. I’ve worked at storage at scale too, and this is standard practice.
I don't understand your point. Do you think poverty is something far away in 3rd world countries only? Your point is probably moot in countries with strong social welfare systems, but the USA for example has 16% of its children living in poverty. I live in a VERY well-off area in the USA, yet one of the local food banks I'm somewhat connected is frequented by a lot of families with children. Non-perishable food + kids clothing + school supplies are one of the most sought-after donation items.

So, other medical systems around the world are cheaper, but that doesn't make them magic. Chronic pain - especially back pain - is often an unsolvable quagmire for most doctors.

Not a doctor, but several family members have had to go through something similar. So here is my advice:

- Get imaging tests (Xray, MRI). And screen out the any of the worst case scenarios (like tumor or etc). But if there is nothing inherently obvious and doctors are sending you down obscure test panels, cut bait early - they're out fishing and you shouldn't expect anything worthwhile.

- For back pain, there is almost no medical solution other than surgery. If surgery is optional, don't take it. The recovery from a back surgery is brutal and long and can come with unintended consequences.

- Talk to a fitness instructor. Especially one with a formal education. This is the most underrated option - these are the true experts on kinesthesiology and recovery. You'll be surprised how much good advice they can give you in a single session - identifying which sets of muscles can be developed to take strain off your back, giving you targeted workouts to try, pain management techniques, etc.

- Patience. My father-in-law spent a year recovering from back problems. Despite trying every medical intervention under the sun, his recovery ended up taking exactly as long as his original doctor said it would. But the important thing was lifestyle interventions to prevent reaggravating the problem.
> The major sense I get from Canadians whenever I arrive back is an enormous sense of financial illiteracy. Like they just don't know or care about how badly they get ripped off all the time on so many things and will never care enough to do anything meaningful about it.

It's ration dis-engagement -- even if they don't know they are doing it. Deep down even the most dedicated sheep know they have no ability to impact anything.

Canada is a democracy but that doesn't mean what people think it means. There's zero public accountability for anything and it's only getting worse.

The 'solution' offered for this created problem is always more bureaucracy and government and taxes, but no accountability on results.

Canada is the country of the future..! If the future is the movie Brazil.

I've looked at the Org mode ecosystem a lot, but I haven't found any client with a "normally usable" UX, including this one. They all seem to cling to the weird concepts of Emacs (some people may like that, I do not).

I've ended up using Logseq. Which, by the way, can also operate on Org mode files, but I chose to stay with the default Markdown (since I don't find the Org mode ecosystem all that appealing). It doesn't exactly have the same goals and not all of the planning features, but I find that it fits my requirements quite well (as a "normal", "modern" looking application). Oh, and it has nice keyboard commands too :-)
So what would you have instead?

A fully participatory democracy where every citizen votes on everything? Or authoritarianism?
Our computer interactions could be so much richer if we allowed computers to observe and listen to us and our surroundings continuously. They would learn faster, and have the full context of everything we say or ask for or point at or do.

But we don’t allow that, because we are (rightly) worried that doing so would give all our private and sensitive personal information to greedy companies and invasive governments.

The future of computer interaction depends not on better hardware or algorithms, it depends on trust. And discretion. Solve those problems and you will unlock huge potential.
Can you get stuff done, and did you have a reasonable work history before. If so, no problem, just go for it. If you're unsure or low on confidence start working on a new or existing skill, do projects, github, volunteer, teach, blog and you'll get there eventually.
Having lived in Estonia I caution you a bit, while the medical treatment I received there was fine, it wasn't at American standards imo (I tried both public and private over my ~2yrs of living there). If you want top tier service, I would focus west, I've heard Germany has some great clinics (e.g. Charite)

The biggest thing missing for me getting started is a reddit-like "feed" showing where discussion is actually happening. Like the reddit logged-out homepage (/best, not /new).

The value of Podbabble is the intersection of podcast episodes that 1) people are talking about and 2) I have listened to. Right now the only way for me to find that intersection is to start from (2), searching for every podcast I can think of, looking at several of the latest episodes and seeing there's no comments. It would be great to start from (1), so I can see right away which episodes people are discussing and see which ones might be relevant to me.

Also, it seems like the only way to add a podcast to "my podcasts" is with an RSS feed link? Not from a link on the podcast's page I searched for? I'm unsure on what the desired setup workflow is.

I live in the US, and my experience is that internet is consistently fast in most places. Many locations offer 1GB internet plans, and the speeds increase every year. From a quick glance at the wikipedia rankings, it looks like the US internet speeds are about the 10th fastest in the world, and are faster than all European countries and Canada (more than doubling average speeds in Canada).

Competition is definitely a problem, especially in rural areas, and I'm excited for the increased competition from offerings like Starlink in rural areas and 5G internet in cities. Starlink is especially great in that it adds an option in many countries, not just the US.

An elite is anyone with enough money and/or societal and political influence, to get invited to events like Davos, Bilderberg, etc., to discuss their plans for shaping world policy.

Now I'm worried about some of the other privacy browsers that use Bing, such as my new favorite which is Brave search. I use them because they are actually building and using their own search index so at least any deals with the devil would go away some day, at least theoretically.

DDG is probably still better than just going to Bing (or Google) in terms of privacy, but this is a good reminder that it's all about the lesser evil or who is less tainted.

Everyone can judge for themselves what is similar and what is not. Having said so, organice has about four times the commits of org-web. It shares a common history, but the last few years have diverged a lot. Also, there is nothing hidden, you’ve found the info right there in the top level readme as you’ve said yourself.

As for bad style, the same could be said about a random person in a forum shaming the many hours of work by a diverse group of hard working individuals putting their work up for free.

Yes. I hope we've learned that any kind of interpretation of text is a security problem. Active emails (NeXTmail, ActiveX) had mind boggling problems. HTML email allows phishing to exist. I'm starting to feel skeptical about Unicode homographs, and byte order marks sound like another slow motion disaster like segmented memory and magic device names (CON, LP, etc). Heck, even things like vi "mode lines" can be a problem.

Plaintext. No interpretation.
agreed, but I'd venture even further - there are no trustworthy providers. anyone can be forced, coerced or compromised, especially commercial entities
I also find the SVG Primer (https://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/svgprimer.html) a useful reference with clear examples.
And, for comparison, “ A 4-stroke engine with one litre displacement operating for 60 minutes at 2500 rpm is estimated to consume 1 L x 2500/2 rpm x 60 minutes/hour = 75,000 litres of air.”

I see DOD as enabling optimization, because your code is “naturally” laid out in a way that exposes data representations and transforms you can create optimized versions of.

But you can do DOD without that being your goal, because ultimately DOD is saying that you use “classes of objects and maps between them” as your framework for design. That it allows you to substitute efficient versions for each is a benefit, not a requirement.
I write Rust for $day_job and Zig for fun. Rust is great, but if I had to rip on a few places where it's lacking for some applications: Zig maintains a small language footprint, is easier to interop with C, and makes it readily apparent when your code is doing anything non-trivial. To make that concrete:

- The small footprint in Zig enables fast compilation (and getting faster) and fast feedback cycles.

- Arbitrary nastiness can happen using From and other traits in Rust, and the tendency to shadow names and rely on type inference can make that unpleasant to track down. In Zig you'd be forced to make a choice (for any non-trivial type) at the return or call site of how you were going to convert things.

- If you want to use the stdlib and have any non-trivial control over how objects are allocated you're in for a rough time in Rust (say, a circular buffer backing some objects and a reusable arena for others). You'll probably be reinventing a lot of wheels.

- Similarly with issues like implicit locking in stdout. It's executing a syscall per line anyway, but the lock can inadvertently make contended writes 1000x slower, so suddenly logging in multithreaded code needs a dedicated logger, and not any of the common options since those fall back to the locking stdout we're trying to avoid.
Well yeah, cell service is going to be bad in the mountains, of course. No one lives there and there are giant mountains in the way. But any populated area of the country has good service.
Rent vs Buy has fairly standard calculators, especially when you're wealthy enough to factor in opportunity cost.

If you're able to take a 30 year loan w/ a 2.7% interest rate and invest the rest of the equity, your house is cheaper than someone who buys it outright in cash.

The only time I would disagree with you, however, is for poor people. "Mortgage principle is not an expense" is correct over a long-horizon, but families living month-to-month that somehow managed to purchase a house are severely unlikely to be able to really capitalize on any value generated from that. I think your comment primarily applies to upper middle-class and wealthy people.
Those folks are elected by the shareholders though.

So the people who are paying, are (indirectly) paying out of their own pockets.

If someone can't pay out of their own pockets the amount they think someone is worth for them to work for them (or appoint someone to do it for them), then... what's the alternative?
Typescript IS a different language than Javascript (for good or for bad), meaning you are compounding the issues with Javascript ecosystem with the issues with Typescript compilation.

Most of my code today is very straightforward, start a project, add type: module and 90% of the packages will work. If it doesn't, I either pick one of the 1M+ alternatives, try to decipher the issue (often is changing the import format or entrypoint), or avoid using a package for the problem I was trying to solve if trivial enough.

George Walker Bush, as opposed to his father George Herbert Walker Bush. The father was commonly called "George Bush" while president, the son was called "George W. Bush". The emphasis put on the W while speaking about the son evolved into just "W".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._(film)

>>W. is a 2008 American biographical comedy-drama film based on the life of George W. Bush. Directed by Oliver Stone and written by Stanley Weiser, it stars Josh Brolin as Bush. The supporting cast includes Elizabeth Banks, James Cromwell, Ellen Burstyn, Thandiwe Newton, Jeffrey Wright, Scott Glenn, and Richard Dreyfuss. Filming began on May 12, 2008, in Louisiana, and the film was released on October 17, 2008.
I'm not sure if they do diagnostic work or just procedures, but the Surgery Center of Oklahoma is an interesting cash-only option. I know there are a number of similar operations.

> If it were really true that about 1 in 5 adult Covid survivors had Long Haul Covid, shouldn't I know someone with it? And, failing that, shouldn't I at least know someone who knows someone?

Just because someone doesn't outright tell you about a very general umbrella of post-acute symptoms doesn't mean it's not happening. Someone with persisting mild diarrhea may not want to bring that up socially.

> ...and nobody believes that Covid kills even close to 1 in 5 adults who get it.

Where exactly did you see this claim being made? The study is not suggesting Long COVID is killing people at scale, just that 1 in 5 adults are experiencing lingering symptoms that you wouldn't expect recovering from a common cold or flu.
Proxmox fall down on Enterprise tooling and integration with other software enterprises use to run the business

Things like Monitoring Platforms, Backup Solutions (veeam), Automation tool kits (powershell), etc.

I like Proxmox, I use it personally, but in its current form I do not see how any medium or large enterprise that has is management tooling around VMWare could just drop in proxmox.

Musk only appeals to people who are looking for hope.

If your life is going great or you can find source of hope in either music, your sports team, your future projects, religion, your love life etc. then he has nothing on you.

Or, just to be devils advocate, maybe people just want better regulation and not authoritarianism or totalitarianism.
This is going in circles.

Every example you're bringing up for ignoring HTTPS in the real world is by services that have alternative methods for protecting against MITM attacks -- methods that are built directly into clients that don't require external validation. You are trying to use that as justification for why you don't need to care about MITM attacks; but setups like Debian, LetsEncrypt, etc... are fundamentally different from the types of situations you're talking about where you want to ignore HTTPS. You are arguing that you should be able to ignore security measures, and that users shouldn't be warned that you are doing so.

----

Fortunately, I did some thinking about this, and I do feel I've been approaching this discussion in the wrong way. And I think I've managed to come up with a solution that can make both of us happy:

- You don't need to worry about MITM attacks, you can leave that all up to the network, it'll handle keeping the users secure. That's it's job, not yours. Basically, you can do whatever you want, and the network will protect its users.

- The way the network will protect its users in this particular instance will be by putting big scary warnings in front of sites that it can't guarantee are delivering their content securely.

So everybody wins. I think this is probably the best solution; you get to deliver your content however you want, and the network takes whatever measures it deems necessary to keep its users secure.
I would say the easiest way to explain it is, as implied by the "C", that CPI is intended to track consumption. Houses aren't normally consumed. Your house a decade from now is expected to be, more or less, the same house you purchased originally. You expect, more or less, to be able to sell it for at least as much as you paid for it originally. Whereas a consumable good, like food, is used up once you eat it and then you have to buy it again. Housing services are more like food. They are consumed. You use it up, to some meaning of use, and then you have to eventually buy it again to use it again.

However, I'm not sure that's the struggle people have. From what I observe, they question if CPI is the best metric for measuring inflation, not whether or not durable assets should be considered consumables.
If you're willing to read a book, I can recommend Back Mechanic:

Great idea, but bad execution. UI is not good. I expected examples of popular podcasts on the front page that I could immediately engage with. However, I was met by confusion. It took me way too long to realize that the search bar was the only method of discovery.

In my opinion, this isn't even at the beta level yet, let alone at a point where you should be asking for a subscription fee that high.

I'll keep an eye on this because this interests me, but the initial red flags give me pause. You need a talented UI/UX person pretty badly.

I use Linux (primarily NixOS and Arch) for most things. I like MacOS for work, too, though.

The one thing I keep Windows for is gaming. More specifically for game streaming. Steam Link works okay (and is cross platform), but I haven't seen anything as performant and meets my needs as much as Nvidia Gamestream (Windows-only for server-side streaming). I use Moonlight to connect to it. I haven't found any alternatives that work as well that are also available for Linux.

I wish there were a game streaming application (open source preferably) as performant as Gamestream that worked as well on Linux.
