It's always something to watch people with certain types of relationships to online celebrities construct this entire illusory, aspirational set of attributes onto their e-celeb and then reverse integrate it as a part of their own internal identity effectively.

Resulting in "asking dumb questions and thoughtlessly yielding to the last authority that spoke" being portrayed as some height of intelligence.
Very interesting. I remember seeing data in the early days of Covid that CRP was quite correlated with severity
It is a disservice to mention global warming every time there is a major weather event.

Climate is not weather, it is about statistics over decades and centuries. If you can’t say global warming is bogus because it’s particularly cold out today, you also can’t blame global warming on it being hot or rainy.

People need to understand it’s not about single events, they don’t when you take every opportunity to mention global warming with bad weather.
Most insurance plans see this as preventative care to get bloodwork done when you're doing your wellness visit, so, if you have insurance, $0 out of pocket.

I found a particularly egregious offender the other day.. the #2 result for "best cordless screwdriver" is one of those content farms that made a "Best of 2022" article. Their top recommendation in 2022 is an old NiCad one that was discontinued in 2015!
It's worse than it was and the reason for that is not the declarativeNetRequest, but replacing background page with a service worker.

You see, now extensions are supposed to do background work in an ephemeral service worker. This service worker lifetime is very short (up to 5 minutes, then it's getting killed forcibly). So it's constantly getting killed and waked back up. Waking up includes doing some initialization which consumes additional cpu cycles.

The situation will improve when Google implements the alternative to service worker (so-called "Offscreen documents"), but no one knows when exactly this will happen.

Ha. I actually meant as a social context, in a way to hang out and have fun. But now you mention it going into business (or charity) with friends could either be great or disastrous, but is worth checking.
After I was corrected, I looked up the origin of the word. It first appeared as the name of a character in a comic strip, "Caspar Milqutoast" who the author described as "speaks quietly and gets hit with a big stick." He named it after the food which is the most meek of meals.

The Wikipedia says this: "The character's name is derived from a bland and fairly inoffensive food, milk toast, which, light and easy to digest, is an appropriate food for someone with a weak or "nervous" stomach"

I never knew that this comic was a thing, but now I want to read it
I interviewed there and they gave me a big project that would have taken several days to complete. Call me arrogant, but I couldn't work for free like that. Additionally all the interviewers were from extremely low cost of living countries, whereas I live in one of the highest cost of living areas in the US.

I had the impression that you have to bid yourself down to catch work over there due to that discrepancy. There are people in Eastern Europe more qualified than me, willing to work harder than me, at 1/3 the cost of me. Thus I preferred local contract hunting.
I believe our prices are in line with other at home tests. Would you mind sharing any links you have that have pricing 10x lower? I'd love to look into it and see if we can bring our costs down for our customers!

One issue with the NHS is that I get the impression the information they publish that strongly respects their goals and desires perhaps to the detriment of patients sometimes.

I’ve certainly noticed in the past big differences in advice. The NHS will downplay and not suggest investigations whereas another (non UK) site does the opposite.

The NHS advice surely is carefully crafted not to cause unnecessary (from their point of view) GP visits, tests etc.
In the neighborhood of New York City I live in, buying a 2 bedroom apartment requires you to have a higher yearly income than $250k (~= £200k). The simple desires of (a) wanting space for family and (b) wanting to live in a specific place, can push you to want to earn higher salaries.
What are the arguments you've heard? I'm sure there are some you haven't.
I'd go further than this and ask why pretty much everything is awful.

This issue comes up a lot when people talk about Google "stealing" content or favoring their own properties. I think there's some merit to this argument and it's worth monitoring but the other side is that Google ends up embedding things in search results because the sites for those things are both trivial and awful.

Example: go Google "mortgage calculator". You will get exactly what you want embedded at the top. Put in the principal, loan length and interest rate and it'll tell you waht the payment is.

Now go click on any of the links on the first page. You will get hammered by ads. You will get pages that split their calculators over multiple pages to get more ad impressions. The whole experience is just plain awful.

So it's no surprise to me that Google just embedded their own for what is really a trivial function. As a user I much prefer that and would hate to see any government action forbid such a thing.

So, WebMD. WebMD is an example of all the bad incentives that make those mortgage calculators terrible. It's all about maximizing ad impressions.

Now I absolutely hate Google AMP but I also understand the motivation for it (even if I vehemently disagree with the solution). So many sites are just plain awful and slow.

Exceptions to the "slow and awful" principle are rare but exist. Stack Overflow is a prime example.
That's why I remove all the newlines from my code before committing.
The image is just an in memory representation of the code. At any point one can export the code representation in the image to an external text file in a number of different formats. These external text files can be version controlled with Git or any other VCS. In turn the the text files can be imported into an image as well. I never worked with Smalltalk professionally but I imagine deployment works in a very similar way to the deployment pipelines you might be used to.

Start with a base image, import code pulled from the VCS repo, start the image, run some test verifications and copy the image to its designated virtual insurance host.
This is why bit sets are far better at this and should be used, i.e.:

But seriously, why do they sell the Intel Mac Mini?

The Intel Mac Pro still exists because they haven't made a modular apple silicon machine and their remaining large scale video production customers would leave them if they were told just to to migrate to M1 Studio machines.

I don't see a similar argument for the Mini, especially as it's still on 8th gen. I'm honestly surprised Intel is still supplying Skylake CPUs for it

Efficiency is critical on laptops, but not really on desktops. Electricity is incredibly cheap.

if you left a 300 watt desktop computer on 24x7 it would use ~$260 in electricity for the year.

Well, you are right in a way. Contact tracing, masks and social distancing make even less sense for corona viruses which we full well knew in 2020.
We did our best with Safari, but believe me, it actually works worse than AdGuard in Chrome and Firefox. Safari with all its limitations is no better than Chrome with MV3.
In my experience, some doctors won't order hsCRP (the marker we measure) for everyone. If they do, I think it would be rare for insurance to cover it multiple times per year.
They have patient/caregiver subscriptions. I'm not sure if it's the same set of articles that doctors get access to. The ones I use are definitely not written for the layperson, though they do have a whole series of articles written for laypersons "The Basics" and "More Than The Basics" which are designed to be handed out by doctors.
Firefox did it because of security/performance concerns. Being able to customize UI doesn't lend itself to easy refactoring.

In order to compete with Chrome most of XUL extensions had to go.

There is a blocklist with the explicit goal to not break sites (at the expense of sometimes being tracked or seeing an ad): https://oisd.nl/

> Why this list?

> Where most other blocklists go for the "block ads/trackers and when something breaks it's up to the user to figure out what to whitelist"-approach ..

>

> This list prioritizes functionality over blocking.

>

> Thís is the list to use at home, at work or at your (grand-)parents place.

> Users report it "passes the girlfriend-test" ;)

I used to run more strict lists and then whitelist domains or temporarily disable blocking, but I have to say I switched to oisd only and now I'm seeing maybe 0.5% more ads without having to go through that hassle, which is a fine compromise for me.
California is kind of unusual in that it consists almost exclusively of places that are either extremely dense or extremely empty [1]. Compare that e.g. to Germany [2], with 2.4 times the average population density but much more evenly spread out.

Pakistan is a bit of a mix of both: three quarters are pretty empty, but the population is spread somewhat evenly over the rest [3]

One worry I’ve had with taking jobs with that title is that the salary range seems significantly lower on average. Even if the specific job paid well, I worry about pigeonholing myself into those roles.
> The web should have been based on Display PostScript instead of HTML.

For all that I dislike HTML tag soup, the language does a lot of things right. It's reflowable, it can be rendered at any resolution (even a text terminal, see Lynx), it's flexible enough to support any document structure, and it can be picked up quickly by any 12-year-old with a text editor and no previous programming experience (and that's how we got ourselves the quirky and fun 90s Internet).

You'd be hard pressed to find another document markup language that can do the same. TeX, maybe? Certainly not a graphics language like PostScript.
Baloons are simpler, sturdier and much cheaper.
I think the issue isn't data, its the "packaging". Going through the NHS website, it's useful if you already know what you have. I'll use myself as an example because I had an ingrown hair on my neck a few weeks back, went on google and I didn't search for "Ingrown Hair" because at that stage, I didn't know that it was an ingrown hair. I searched for "bumps on your neck" which led me to conclude that it was an ingrown hair (followed by a doc telling me the same thing).

One idea I've had for a long time is the US Gov't (and all major governments) should have a large data gathering/distribution operation. This data would be things like medical research, and other data that would be in "the public interest" (basically all the data we have now, just in one place), everything from meeting notes, congressional bills, etc.

With a wealth of data from a single source, companies like WebMD could stop focusing on how to get the data, and shift their focus to how to "package" the data. A list of conditions with symptoms is nice, but lets repackage that into a "medical graph" that lets you explore related conditions through symptoms. Companies could then compete on the "packaging". You could go to FreeMD and get the same data as you could on WebMD, but WebMD has a much better search engine for X thing so they are worth the $4.99/month cost.

It would be expensive, and probably be a decade long multi billion dollar operation. But imagine the revolution in government services if there was a single source of truth for data.

There are arguments against this, mainly do you want a government to have that much power. But I think it could be done with some strict limits and checks. Data in this API would only be public government data, so IRS data and other private information is not on there.

The URL parameter still works in the current version by the way.

When I changed 'my-awesome-program' to 'ubahnchen' or something else when creating the hafas-client, it stopped getting valid responses. So I thought I should wait for VBB to give me an ID that works.
I'm not the person you're replying to, but I live out in the country and enjoy the quiet of nature. Seems like it would be hard to have a lot of wildlife, trees, and space in an area where it's 287 per Km^2. I'm not judging btw. It's just not my cup of tea. I live on 5000 M^2 and prefer to have my space.

I'm sure that will need to go sometime in the future but we still have plenty of space in the US to fill so I'm hoping it takes some time. lol

> If OOP was a solution to anything really, we wouldn't need design patterns, clean architecture, or SOLID design principles.

He's not wrong. I loved moving from C to C++ polymorphic code is such a cool concept but after a while you realise it really doesn't solve anything on its own.

Then you start to encapsulate everything in an attempt to separate concerns then you realise that separation of concerns is actually quite easy if you separate data from function and make sure functions have no side effects, something OOP encourages the exact opposite of.

Why do we need it multiple times per year? Maybe that's the part that needs to change, so as many people as possible have access to the data?
It is the misaligned incentives that come from advertising. Click-bait and outrage drive views and ad revenue. Look at the "news" segment these days.
For me at least, an AMD/Intel desktop box plus its multi-year power bill still is likely to come out cheaper than a comparable Apple desktop or high-end laptop plus its multi-year power bill. The lower-end Apple laptops are not an option for me due to the "one external display" limitation. Competing ARM desktop hardware is not an option for me due to insufficient performance - I might as well not upgrade at all.
Sorry, haven't looked at HN in a while. As long as nothing from the Jellyfin server is touching the internet (no port forwarding or anything), you're probably just fine. If someone is able to hack your Jellyfin install, despite it being completely in your LAN, you've probably got bigger problems to worry about.

I suppose one way you could access it outside the network securely would be to set up a VPN on your home network, to connect to your Jellyfin server through. So there's options. But obviously it depends on how far you want to take it.

>The greatest performance gains are actually at the lowest TDPs, where the 7950X saw a 74% increase in Cinebench R23 MT performance. These advantages actually decreased as TDPs went up, dropping to 37% at 105W, and finally 35% at 170W.

When AMD isn’t loading CPU clockspeeds into the stratosphere – which is always well into the diminishing returns of the voltage/frequency curve – Zen 4 is significantly more power efficient than its predecessor.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/17552/amd-details-ryzen-7000-...

The problem is that Intel is reviving their Pentium 4 strategy of performance via ridiculous frequencies and voltages, and AMD is following suit.

Contrast to Apple, where the strategy is throwing die space at more execution units and running the clocks at the efficient end of the voltage frequency curve.

The M2 clocks up to 3.5 Ghz, while AMD is targeting up to 5.7 Ghz.

He doesn’t see himself as a media outlet but a guy who wants to have fun and push weird shit. Obviously it’s caused him trouble with the anti vacc guys he had and he’s sort of normalised his show a bit, but still I think he sees himself in that tradition. He’s not looking to be Dan Rather.

I finally restricted my search to wikipedia and quickly found out that it's called 'subungual hematoma' and "usually self-resolving", which is what I needed to know.

Recently I tried this query on GPT-3 and it worked well too:

Prompt: Something fell on my nail and it turned black

GPT: Possible causes for a black nail include: trauma to the nail, a melanoma, or a subungual hematoma (a collection of blood under the nail). If the black nail is accompanied by pain, swelling, or redness, seek medical attention. If the black nail is not painful and has no other symptoms, it is likely a subungual hematoma and will eventually grow out with the nail.
The precedent of stucking in mess is something that lacks debate with insight. Less emotion and politics, please. Climate is changing, sure. But faith in our ability to change it (same as that is our responsibility) is still faith. Collective guilt do harm more, history proofs that. And it happens over and over (how many people will suffer just because of "green politics?").
