Nothing enrages me like US healthcare.

Physicians have a monopoly on treatment and restrict supply through the ACGME.

Hospitals and physicians have spent 1Billion on lobbying.

I could go on, I want a science based healthcare as an alternative to our authority based system.

It would be one thing if our system healed everyone, but the number of mistakes is enough to make me lose faith completely.
Isn't combining letters in natural language the original purpose of ligatures?
Transporting a 40-foot steel container of cargo by sea from Shanghai to Rotterdam now costs a record $10,522, a whopping 547% higher than the seasonal average over the last five years.” Between Asia and North America, Bloomberg reports that “contract rates…are coming in around $2,500 to $3,000 for a 40-foot container—25% to 50% higher than a year ago…” - from January

This seems like a non-story. Rates were insane due to Covid. Things are now normalizing. The rate is still incredibly expensive and should fall more.
There are a fair few questions for which direction is more important than magnitude. That being said, I'll take both if possible.
From https://www.statista.com/statistics/1250636/global-container...

Costs peaked at 5x the pre-pandemic value, and are now down to 3x the pre-pandemic value.
Because they look like the biggest loser in this deal. Everybody else comes out ahead. In the short term, while password managers are useful, users get a better product, and Bitwarden's employees get paid. In the long term, users don't need this product, Bitwarden's employees find other jobs, and the investors have lost their money.

Good to see this kind of analysis, too damned bad it wasn't around 10 years ago.

For some reason we humans like to get real close to the edge so we can see how far down it is.
Tangential, but I never understood why SQL puts the FROM after the SELECT. It's extra confusing because sometimes people want to use aliased fields from the SELECT section in the FROM section but that won't work because its not evaluated in that order. It also makes much more sense to first name the table, then its fields.

Some good points.

> whatever was learned from a degree is mostly unused.

What a good engineering curriculum does is teach you how to think, which transcends specific skills. It reshapes your brain.
I use scientific method for the tougher bugs. It helps in situations where there are multiple root causes or when the testing loop is over 15 mins.

Write down a list of hypotheses. Then write an experiment to test it.

Sometimes there's this intuition to comment out a block of code, run, and then comment out another block of code. Or revert to something before a bug happens. That's all fine, just make sure it's linked to a hypothesis or multiple ones.

Or sometimes you don't have a hypothesis. This is where the scientific method is also useful - you know what you don't know!

Then you use the Monte Carlo method, or as I call it, throwing darts and seeing if it hits a bug. Basically you slice out random blocks of possibly offending code, compile, slice out more or less, compile, until you narrow down an area.

From that area, you might formulate a hypothesis. Or you may need to throw more darts until you see a pattern.

Scientific method is bloody slow but you'll get to the answer eventually. It's not for everything.
I was home schooled for several years as a child. Socialization wasn't really an issue, because there was a community of home schoolers and we went to a ton of group events with other home schoolers.

Things like a chess club, book club, lego robotics team, renting out a gym, doing science experiments, playing dungeons and dragons, and so on. This was slightly before the era of kids having cell phones, but we made use of landlines to keep in touch as well.

That said, it obviously depends a huge amount on the parents, and requires a huge amount of time and effort on their part. While I think it was a mostly positive experience for me, there are very few people I could recommend do it with their kids. The strong impression I got was also that it became less effective as you became high school aged, but I went back to a regular school before that.

I'm glad to hear first hand experience. Where does one find other parents who are homeschooling their children?

Maybe but Gandalf spoke to moths. I just can’t see them with a narrative that prioritizes Radagast over Gandalf.
I just installed my vaultwarden as a stand alone bitwarden and imported my bitwarden data to it. It was actually pretty painless and runs in like 1/10 the space of the bitwarden (self hosted) server on a cloud instance. In the next couple days I think I'll test backup and such and if it works I'll be moving over to that from bitwarden. I have used keepass in the past but I prefer programs like lastpass and bitwarden with browser plugins.
Difftastic, the fantastic diff
There was a decades long internal wellness study at google. One surprising finding was that people self reported their most were most effective working hours to be the morning hours. Even people who self reported as night owls. I’m sure there are outliers but it was quite telling.
So basically build a storefront in front of Amazon's storefront, which is a storefront in front of the storefronts of many unfortunate merchants.

And the winner is the one with the storefront that is most in front.

Interesting game ...

Anyway, we can also turn Amazon into a utility. See: https://stallman.org/amazon.html
When using Google Shopping, you can limit your search to local stores by selecting a filter. I recently used it to locate a life vest for my toddler at a nearby sports retailer.
I always wonder why there is still such a distinction between „security“ and „privacy“ threats.

Of course i data loss, extortion / ransom etc… still i feel it‘s playing into the hands of the big guys to keep believing it would be two separated topics. In the real world of today, it is not really.

So saying it is „…safe (too), however a privacy nightmare“ just doesn‘t sit right with me. Especially when talking about google.
This is actually quite good. I probably only qualify as "associate buyer" but I figure buying the parts would at least familiarize you with how things work in practice. That should get you further than most of the advice here.
> Unfortunately, homework is part of the grade and you can't tell the teachers to skip it for your kid.

This is the biggest curiosity killer. Instead of helping them it somehow teaches the kids to become a bunch of obedient rule followers. Maybe that's the intended effect.
1. Is the biggest deal to me and I would definitely not use a language if it was somehow incompatible with the way I liked to edit. For me its the other way around though since I like to live within emacs.

Even though I liked the language and would have liked to use it more, I did abandon Pharo because I just couldn't imagine ever liking having to use their IDE which depends too much on the mouse. That's the only time I have done that since emacs usually handles most languages just fine.

This is not true.

Private healthcare is alive and well in the UK in the supply of both privately and publicly-commissioned healthcare.
I don't think driving is merely to avoid physical expenditure. Driving is a result of rural and suburban living as well as poor urban planning. Lots more people would walk or bike if it was reasonably feasible.
I remember trying something similar and I kept getting weird results like repeated folders that didn't sync and then when they would I'd have 2 copies of somethign not knowing which I should keep. Maybe it's gotten better a couple years later?
Depends on the region, availability zone, instance type, and time of day. There are always resources if you are flexible. I’ve only ever seen that message when dealing with spot instances or cutting edge hardware that was in the process of rolling out.

I’ve noticed a number of changes over the past couple of years to make it easier to manage mixed pools of compute resources - both spot and on-demand - a good way for AWS to spread load across different instance classes.
SF rolled out stats. Their stats did the opposite of supporting their position. Some stats are so bad that you can only lie in interpretation.
My sweet spot for writing code is 3-7 PM. I do stuff like code reviews best at 7-10 AM though.

Wrong. It was passed before Reagan got into office.

https://igeek.com/Reagan_emptied_mental_institutions_and_cau...

So you don't assign any responsibility to the people who passed it? How quaint. Why even bother to vote? BTW, one of them is governor right now.

If a Republican did it, vote them out of office too.

In the SF case that I was referring to, it really was all Democrats. I was talking just about SF. Brown opened it up. Newsom continued it.

My spouse found our primary group through local Facebook searches. These homeschool groups are often called "co-ops" or "circles", but another good place is to check out your local parks, museums, family attractions like a zoo or activity center during what would be typical school hours. Engaging local parents that you see with what appear to be school aged children at these places (and I realize that can be awkward at times) is a good way to connect as well especially if your children are along.

EDIT: You can also check your local library, as the librarians are likely to know of at least one person who homeschools and might be able to connect you.

All well and good until you run out of environment. If the ocean is overfished and its ecosystem collapses, the people who depend on it for food will starve anyway.
Also, some languages are much more difficult to run debugger code on in production or running the debugger uses a whole lot more resources that would interrupt the stability of the production environment for a bug that might not be worth that much.

I use PHP/Laravel mostly, and while XDEBUG will work with a remote server, it requires an extra extension be installed and activated with a restart of PHP-FPM. That might mean downtime if you only have one app server. After the extension is activated, it requires extra resources to profile each request. Sometimes an order of magnitude more.

Luckily, because it is just PHP, running it locally isn't too hard, but I wanted to outline a scenario where a bunch of people cannot really use a debugger in prod. I've definitely been on teams that have pushed log statements to production to track down issues that were only present in one environment and not reproducible locally. Actually, one just came up about a month ago. Our app server is behind a firewall and a VPN (internal company app) and one of those services isn't properly forwarding the `X-Forwarded-Host` header correctly which caused issues later down the line when the framework was attempting to generate URLs. This caused an issue in our frontend code where some JSON data included bad URLs to the UI. Wasn't reproducible at all locally. Took some logging to find out where in the process the URL was wrongly generated so we could develop a workaround.
Only if you assume that having learn as fast as they are able to is a goal in education policy. In fact, it is not. Having some kids ahead of the others is not a desirable outcome of public education as it actually exists. Instead, it operates under assumption that all kids are interchangeable tabula rasas, and if some kids are ahead, that only means that the education is under serving those who are behind them.

As a result, great amounts of efforts are spent to get these slower kids to the pace of faster kids. It never actually has any non-superficial effect. If it seems to, it’s almost universally some more or less apparent selection bias going on.

This disappoints the educators greatly, especially as they are under pressure to deliver the equal outcomes they promised. The outcome is that more and more resources are spent on the slower kids, at the expense of the faster kids. At this point, parents of the faster kids (who very often are people of means, and this is by no means an accident) remove their kids from public education, and move them to private schools. This is often decried as some kind of moral failing, as if they and their kids owe something to the schools that fail to serve them, and for which they continue to pay anyway, despite not using them.

This is not unforced error, this is the result of the incentives embedded in the education system, which are, in turn, a result of unreasonable expectations put on it. We shouldn’t expect that everyone learn the same amount at school. This is never going to be the case, and is hurting everyone in the system.
The entire thread was a worthless soap opera until your comment saved the day, thank you!
Again, I don’t see why my comment needs any special long explanation. It’s short and I answer that I don’t want to support scams. The context is clear from the comments thread, crypto money features in Brave are considered as scammy by many. I believe most people understood.

I’m sorry you wasted time reading my comment.
Also because the CPU layout is generated by software, maybe it is easier to add custom constraints specific for space.
"is because to programmers"

You might be overgeneralizing, I have been coding for 40+ years, maintained several successful open source projects, fixed many bugs, created even more, wrote bug reports and have a Go IDE open right now.
Or just tax the original sugar production or importation and be done with all the complexity of chasing down a million food companies across thousands of jurisdictions. (Or let people eat whatever they want and stop being a busybody.)

I am no where claiming that helping someone will cure depression.
To be precise, we are building this for those who might be a 1/2/3 from a scale of 1-5 (I was a 3).. The insight was simple. By helping someone based on the things you have done in the past (evident from your profile) you will gain the sense of fulfillment that you have achieved till now, hence making you feel happy for all those experiences.

Another weird analogy.. Hosts of AirBnb had living spaces to offer others, our members will have their knowledge/experiences to offer.

ASIN is the main way, ISBN/EAN/GTIN the secondary you interact with their API. All those affiliates make heavy use of that (e.g. when you go to our website and click on a camera datasheet, we show, if available, the details of the product on sale at Amazon). Affiliates are a big part of Amazon marketing, they can’t just cut that off for questionable returns.

Luckily as programmers we can each use a different configuration- I just spent two hours at work trying to get my ligature fonts to show up in a hosted VSCode instance.
Deep love for learning not education.

And a lack of an emphasis on fitting in.

The rest was a counter example of how not to be an adult. I was very strait laced and grew up quickly because raising me was too much for my father. I have severe ADHD and I’m sure my dad does too. Adulting was too hard for him.

So I was extremely motivated to make something of myself as a result. I didn’t have an idea of a specific goal, but I wanted to earn more than $70k salary doing something with computers.
This article is not your typical HN fare consisting of a diatribe against anything advocated for by the marketing team. It covers real reasons why you should be clear about what you're selling. My favorite excerpt is the last paragraph:

> If someone can't understand what your product does, then it can't fail! If someone critiques your product, you can always say to yourself that "they just don't understand". Which is true! They don't!
Your last point on minor changes make a lot of sense. Are there any fonts that do this?
I'm not going to hold my breath but thanks for the small bit of hope. Right now, Vatenfall is quoting my payment at £400/mo for a new build 89m2 apartment. Considering my 4100/mo salary and rent, it doesn't leave a ton left over to pay for other basic necessities like food, mandatory health insurance, transportation to and from work (20 miles away) and other living expenses.

I leave next Monday, so I'll find out more really soon!
They still do!

It seems a bit strange to call out the Conservatives specifically. Ontario has been purposefully underfunding healthcare for decades upon decades, with most of the damage done decades ago. Peterson (Liberal) forced practitioners to operate under fixed rates defined by the province, which even lead to a doctors strike. Rae (NDP) eliminated 8,000 acute care beds. Harris (PC) eliminated another 6,000 beds.

Governments of the last 20 years have held the status quo, which leaves them equally culpable.

Here is your evidence:

In an analysis we published in 2011, the ratio of social service spending to medical care spending was significantly associated with better health outcomes across 34 OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) countries between 2000 and 2005.

and

When comparing state-to-state spending between 2000 and 2009, those states with higher ratios of social service spending to health care spending had better outcomes on average.
