For non-controlled substances, I've been able to ask for more from my doctor and just pay out of pocket.

For controlled substances, you could probably ask for a slight change in prescription (e.g. a single 20mg pill vs. 2x10mg) right after the first one was filled, or ask for a slight change in dosage.

Technically this is legally dubious, but it's also ridiculous that there is no buffer allowed to be built in.
No. Uber, meta, wework, all do multiple shitty things in the name of going against societal Norms.

it's weird to think someone treats these as normal
A fine for what? Meta has no obligations to provide service to anyone other than their advertisers who've purchased such service.
I tend to look at track records. Jobs started Apple, Pixar, and came back to fix Apple 2.0.

That's three unicorn-grade successes. Within those, he had similar streams of successes, like OS-X and the iPhone.

That's genius.

Two footnotes:

- I'm not sure genius is a good reason to worship someone or treat them as a hero; it's to me, it's more about what you do with that genius. For example, Hitler was a genius speaker, and Stalin was a genius administrator. Many geniuses I've met are not-nice people.

- Jobs had one major failure: NeXT. NeXT was still pretty brilliant, even if it didn't do well in the market.
I am not a Mac user, but as I understand the topic, it is using the radio for location and proximal device detection. It is not a LAN feature that would work via broadcast in the current WiFi LAN nor would it work if using only a wired LAN with WiFi disabled.

It puts the radio into a different mode to listen for nearby devices, whether to talk to them or to use them as landmarks for location sensing. This requires scanning radio channels, not just continuing to listen to the channel where you expect to receive further packets from an associated access point.
> Unlike Skype, Whatsapp never bothered with a framework like Scrum. Early employees shared how they never even muttered the word and deliberately ignored all heavyweight processes. Whatsapp out-executed Skype, built a more reliable messaging experience than Skype, and ultimately won the battle of messaging and communication apps.

Article overall is ok but this part killed me. It's like it's implying that the team management methodology is what made Skype lose, and not that Whatsapp was the right project at the right time that filled a mobile niche, while Skype was an older project that was unlikely to go through a full rebrand. To put it simply, Skype was really bad. Team managament can in some cases stale the developers, but in this case it wouldn't do anything if Skype was already headed nowhere. Unless not using scrum magically made the people working on Skype have a vision and good UI taste.
You're right, I forgot about the extraordinarily thorough test suite.
I started off in the late noughties with Wordpress and my own domain. Medium came out and was actually good so I and pointed my domain at it and shifted over. Then Medium started going to shit so I moved to GitHub Pages and hugo, but building a site in hugo was a huge PITA so I just wrote plain markdown files and left it as it.

This year, I rewrote the whole thing in Next.js and now it's somewhat more presentable.

The coolest sites are the ones that use the least personal data. Pollhub.xyz is the coolest in that sense. It's the funnest site on the internet. Endless polls and caption contests plus anonymous chat.
Do you have a PhD in Economics? The author does, so I’m going to take his understanding of it over yours for now. He is fundamentally right that MMT proponents are reluctant to publish models, while proponents of other economic theories aren't. If you won't publish a model because you're afraid it won't stand up to scrutiny, you don't get to be taken seriously.
Tesla say in the video here the driver is only there because of regulators, not ethical reasons:

This video was from 2018 or so I think and they pretended the driver wasn't needed.
Yep- of the three of us, one is a professional developer (me), one is a professional experiential designer/artist, and one is a professional writer with a great music talent- the perfect combination for a project like this!
As I posted a few times here in this area so far, vaccine fear isn't rational. It's also amazing to me that so many people who are against vaccines really think that people who are getting vaccinated have been manipulated to do so, but that their decision to avoid a vaccine is well-reasoned and not the result of manipulation by people with anti-vaccine sentiment who profit from spreading misinformation in society.

Here is a link that I have shared now with many people, including people I know who were against vaccines. It nudged a few people to get a covid vaccine.

This is useful information for projects/teams/companies doing Scrum. Many of them are likely doing it because they think this is how big tech companies operate and wish to emulate them.
I found the "pots and pans" thing back in 2020 to be eery.

It was once said "Prussia was not a country with an army, but an army with a country"; the UK is not a country with a health service, but a health service with a country.
No. Because accounts gain reputation. It's more likely they're able to pull off a supply chain attack from a known account then a new account. So, ban accounts as you find them. Obvious.
We call those government utilities, and apparently, that's a bad thing.
I really like the general ideas behind age, like being composable in shell commands and having a more narrow focus than something like GPG.

My biggest frustration with GPG is that it needs to have keys imported to do anything useful. I greatly prefer just storing the keys in the file system!

Related to that last point, Gentoo uses GPG to verify distfiles sometimes and it ends up creating a lot of "dummy" keyrings and throwing them away to circumvent this limitation of GPG! (I haven't dug too deeply into the code so it's possible that I am wrong here, but this is my current understanding)

My two primary issues with age that have prevented me from using it are that it doesn't use authenticated encryption (see links below) and that there is no way to encrypt/decrypt and make signatures with a single key pair (at least afaik). If I am encrypting files I want to be able to trust the contents of it fully, otherwise it's really not that useful for me personally!

"collected" :'(
Squat, deadlift, bench, overhead press with good form, heavy enough so you can do 3 sets of 5 repetitions and just barely finish the last two.

Do this 2-3x a week.
> The hardest part is finding experts who are willing to do one off work for a few hundred or thousand dollars.

In my limited experience, I find that there are tons of people willing to "help" me with tasks I don't care about, whereas it's very hard to find people who can actually provide high value assistance. For example, setting up my company, I called an accounting firm. The guy they put me in touch with had no real input re the specific tax and situational questions I had, and wanted to sell me bookkeeping software (while telling me to call revenue Canada - our IRS - and ask them about my questions.). That seems to be the norm. Same is true with financial advice, legal advice, travel agents, all sorts of things.

Understandably, people have built businesses that "productized" something, and are focused on selling that, because of the low marginal cost. It makes it very hard to actually get expert advice
> Maybe what they need to do is scrap the existing disparate cancer screening databases and create a new centralised one. Like they did for covid.

The hard part is probably migrating all the existing data. It'smuch easier if you can start from blank, like for covid.
It is said that the CIA sabotaged Russian pipelines back in Reagan’s day, using methods quite similar to their sabotage of Iran’s centrifuges: diddling the controller software.

As I’m sure we all know, we have made the tragic mistake of connecting a lot of our own infrastructure to the internet: water treatment plants, electrical grid, pipelines, and more. All of which are, naturally, now susceptible to over-the-net attack.

The spetsnaz needn’t do anything: Russian hackers can fuck it all up from the safety of their keyboards.

I have had the same problem and I worked on it with a workflow of reading something today, making a note of it in a notebook (handwritten works best for me) and revising it the day after. The hand writing part makes me bio-mechanically engage with the material and finally reviewing my notes the next day forces spaced repetition. A nice side-effect is that after a few months when I am just flipping through my notebook I remember something that I had forgotten.

I use this for technical webpages that I read, business concepts (e.g. I am reading about `Yule’s Law of Complementarity` or new technical concepts (e.g. NestJS).

This works for me and I stumbled upon this workflow for myself after trying out a lot of other things that did not work for me.

You seem to be under the impression that because you haven’t looked up if anything’s changed since 2010, nothing has.

The command line tools (except GPL ones) do get updated from FreeBSD and there’s nothing “non-native” about how the kernel works.
For the latter bit, I've noticed many tech blogs use a 'comment on HN' link.

I don't really care for discoverability and don't want to deal with comments anymore so I don't do anything. Maybe one day I'll restart my twitter account and tell people to tweet at me or something?

That certainly seems like a plausible thing that could be happening, but the specific claim of the article is that this is an issue with Airplay, which to my understanding involves devices that are connected to your router / access point, not free standing devices with their own access points that have to be scanned for.

There might very well be latency issues involved with the WiFi radio scan modes on Macs, for all I know, but I don't think they could be related to this specific issue with AirPlay?
I think the second

"the value in the understanding of use-cases, constraints, and patterns (or a drive to align towards reaching said understanding) that enables the process"

These companies operate at a different scale, speed and constraints to other companies. Just as people say "you are not Google" don't use Google tech solutions for your problems. Don't use FAANG processes for your use case without understanding why those processes are the way they are.

As an addendum to my first comment I want to also say that no scrum does not mean no processes. In fact there is a lot of processes. The number one complaint is that there is too much processes. They are just not scrum.

There is no one size fits all solution which is what the product "Enterprise Scrum" tries to be. Teams need to understand their needs for themselves and build/iterate on a set of processes that works for them. Large orgs need to enable this as well as set the baseline for processes that work across the whole org at every level (indivudual -> team _-> product area -> organization).
The book is really well researched, it includes 5 pages of selected bibliography. I doubt the author wrote about a scientist coining a word and then recalled said word from memory. There's no misspelling of the word "Entscheidungsproblem" which occurs like 80 times. It just stuck out to me, maybe the source material was already wrong, maybe he was trying to be funny or nerd snipe someone, it's a mystery.
This is a known problem and (probably) there are systems which should monitor automated abuse of abuse.

However, all those social networks (including Instagram) are susceptible to another attack - just rent a horde of low-grade bots... and add the victim's account to their friends. This sudden increase in friends count are treated as an attempt to boost the rating of the bot accounts => ban not only for the bots (about whom you don't care) but for the victim too.

Perhaps OP is in the similar situation, though probably his spouse wasn't a target but a collateral.
Yep, lots of moderator comments about it, including specifically twitter. There are workarounds that get posted in thread, use those or post one yourself.

It should be understood first, and memorized later.

If you do not memorize small things that you frequently need, it will slow you down.

But if keep memorizing things without understanding, at some moment your memory will return an incorrect result, and you will be unable to notice it.
Could you please explain how this could possibly be a chipset problem? The chipset sends and receives packets without problem. It's a pretty rock solid chipset in my testing. This sounds like an "Apple didn't implement AirPlay support in the driver" problem, which sounds crazy, because it is kind of crazy. AirPlay should just be packets on the network like anything else.

You also seem to be digging pretty hard to try and justify your original position, which was very extreme. No, Apple computers are not stuck at 100Mbps. This would be a very big deal, as tons of creative workflows rely on having multi-gigabit network connections. The outcry would be enormous.

I had never tried to use AirPlay 2 from my laptop over ethernet (I can probably count on one hand the number of times that I've used AirPlay from my laptop at all), but I tested, and it is true that the Music app won't connect to AirPlay devices over this Ethernet adapter (but it will over the 8153). I also have no problem redirecting the system sound to an AirPlay device, even over this Ethernet adapter, as that comment says.
After bootstrapping, the kernel sits in its idle task and does absolutely nothing except serving interrupts, the scheduler only switching between kernel threads at most. Then, after a set amount of time (5 minutes), another device with full DRAM access (or sufficiently configured IOMMU) and in the same coherency domain (or some contraption to make things coherent) starts to DMA the init task and the appropriate changes to the kernel's data structures into memory. When made coherent, the kernel's scheduler will see the new init task's thread in its set of runnable threads and eventually switch that.

What? You did not ask for a method that is not completely batshit insane.
I had an office with a door for 12 years. I switched jobs 3 years ago and everyone has a cubicle even the managers.

Constant distractions with people talking loudly on conference calls. Then someone else talks even louder on their call.

Before covid our site was mostly working on the same project. There was some fun collaboration in the conference room around white boards etc.

We had a reorg to pool resources across projects across the country so now only 3 out of 10 people on my project are at my site.

Most of us bought our own 40" 4K monitors so if I go in a conference room I can't even share my remote Linux desktop session properly because I'm scrolling within the window to find my applications to share.

Because of that I just stay at my cubicle to share my screen and end up disturbing everyone else around me with my own conference call.

Everything would be fine with offices and doors but instead we get stupid surveys about whether we want an open floorplan which is even worse.

We are supposed to go in the office 3 days a week. The reality is most people at my site show up once or twice a week for half a day for the free lunch once a week and then go home by 3pm to get work done.

We have 30 job openings and we hire about 1 person every 2 months. We lose 1 person about every 4 months. Management hasn't said anything about people not showing up probably because they don't want to push people to leave.
Facebook did not buy Discord which is currently the best messaging service on the market. They didn't buy slack either.
I have used this trick when I in high school grade.

Just setup openvpn with port 53 UDP with cheap vps, then connect it, and get unlimited internet access

Internet connection in my country is very limited and expensive in that day
Don't you have to waive your right to sue in the US to purchase or boot a Tesla?
I don't believe it's open access, or at least I see no download link on that page.
Yeah, that's with powernap off.
I think manual is safer on mountain roads (automatic is scary there) and possibly for 4WD. I drove an EV only in city roads (a car sharing company) and it had great acceleration and it was silent at traffic lights. No gears, of course.
Seriously? If money is power, Musk _is_ the ruling class.

Thank you, this works great for my current monitor on Windows. This is a good replacement for what I need.
> A good feature of PIV applet of Yubikey 5 is that it stores 24 keys.

Note that not all 24 of those keys are suitable for age usage. The 4 main keys have specific usage definitions in the PIV specification that mean hardware tokens alter how those key slots behave. Only one of them (the KeyManagement slot) has a definition that allows encryption, and even that I was somewhat suspicious of overlapping with, as I couldn't predict how those existing keys were being used, and didn't want to support every possible key type that might be in that slot (which users likely wouldn't be able to alter).

age-plugin-yubikey avoids this complexity by only interacting with the 20 "retired" slots, which have no constraining definitions. (I am considering adding restricted support for the KeyManagement slot specifically for CAC card users who aren't allowed to add new keys to their cards [0], but this would be behind a default-off feature flag to keep the primary UX simple.)

> The definition of cool is, of course, at your discretion.

OK I'll bite... There's a very cool five letters dot com which exists since forever (I just checked on the Internet Wayback Machine and it has a copy of the site in 1998!). I'll say what it is but I'd rather not link it directly as I wouldn't want HN to kill it (and its owner deciding to pull the plug, you never know you know).

It's basically called "lost.com" (but in another language) and there are just two lines of text saying:

Lost on the Internet? Don't worry, we're going to help you
* <--- You are here

I don't know who created it but that's my definition of cool!
Anyone remember hell.com from the late 90s. I'm not sure I really understood what it was, some kind of email provider I think, but it has a really mysterious and exclusive feel, it seemed cool.

I just checked it and now it's some religious thing
Really pleasing - though the most surprising thing was learning a forward slash is a valid character in a domain name. Are there any real world examples?

Rather than calling it the death of work, you could instead think of it as a change in the nature of our relationship to work. I am all for going into the office often, as I think complex collaborative projects need face-time to have a tight feedback cycle. But I'm also ok with it not being good or necessary for everyone.
Best Practices for Inclusive CLIs
Since about 1998, whenever I need a rickroll-style URL placeholder for whatever reason, I use zombocom.

This is my favorite website ever, because, quite simply, you can do anything at Zombocom.

For those who don't get it, in the late 90's there was a distinct sense that internet websites might just solve all of the world's problems, and we just hadn't imagined yet how it was going to happen, and most people hadn't really been online yet.
Unless you are planning to work for a long period of time (> 10 years) at your current job, it's always a good idea to try job hunting.
Or just having any long OLAP queries mixed into your OLTP workload. A readers-writer lock can often end up with tons of writers waiting on one last long read to drain.
