I've certainly heard both.

For a lot of people all their connected devices at home are wireless: smart devices, phones, many have laptops rather than desktops, tablets, …, and while out the connect to other wi-fi networks. It is easy to circulate WiFi and cellular data access, and if you don't use much or any wired networking at home all your normal network access is therefore WiFi.

Screensaver as wallpaper is more rare but I have heard it, and have done for some time (I know non-technical people who have used wallpaper and screen saver wrong for many years, going back to when fancy screen savers were more common than simply powering off, either calling both by one name or just using them randomly). More common these days though is people simply not knowing the term, except to confuse it with a physical screen protector.

I think that for sites like this, the best approach would be to archive but not allow access to archives for some arbitrarily long period of time (10 years? 100 years? the point being largely to preserve the contents for the benefit of some hypothetical future scholars of history and culture).

Urban sprawl caused by everybody living in remote single family houses is bad for the environment too. I mean why would you live in a tiny apartment and zoom into work all day?
It could depend on what is considered 'a pivot'. Some companies start out with grandiose plans only to find out that they don't have enough money or other resources to develop, market, and support 'Plan A'. So they take a piece of what they already have working and build a product around that to 'prime the pump'. Before they know it, the pump primer turns into 'Plan B' and they never get back to the original plan.

I have experienced some of that with my current project. It is designed to be a global distributed data management system, but I am currently marketing it as a simple data analytics tool because that is the part that is working the best right now. https://www.Didgets.com
I've actually spent the majority of development time on optimization rather than actually working on the overall product. The choice to create this project in the browser instead of native certainly made this more challenging! :>

Its not the first time. Before than it was censoring content content that Scientology disliked. There was also the case of Snopes not being archived until a year ago, even after it got more involved in declaring more serious topics, rather than just internet urban legends.

There are people within the internet archive whose politics is so strong that I have said in private since 2016 that I have concerns they are a risk to the neutrality of the project. I am not going to mention their name to avoid a flamewar but that name will be mentioned more by others if they decide to remove more content.

This is pretty easy: go work for a start-up. They'll need someone who has a bit of management experience combined with ability to code and contribute individually. If the startup grows and succeeds you can just keep yourself in more individual contributor positions or even a CTO position where you have a VPE or Director of Eng to do the management.

Unless your real concern here is that you want a nice FAANG salary while also enjoying your work, in which case you should figure out what is really important to you in life.

Offline backups are very important - not only because they can't be modified because they're disconnected, but because they force you to spend time going and getting them and that time can be important.

In other words, a 'mental illness.' Got it.

> Whilst you don't think you need to answer "yes" to have an opinion, you degrade the signal-to-noise ratio with your words when there are the voices of others who need to be heard.

I disagree. I don't believe you have to be one of the affected parties to be able to form an effective opinion. I'm capable of looking at the world around me and deducing my own conclusions - when it comes to homosexuality, it is particularly close to me, as I have a sister and a close friend who are both gay. Of course, neither of them base their software decisions around the opinions of those who hold some kind of leadership position for the software in question.

Thanks for the tip. I put myself in the shoes of those who might be more disenfranchised than me every day - I have a nice roster of friends and family from all walks of life - different races, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Doesn't change the point of the argument.

> Of course, the cishet white dude doesn't understand bigotry and the concept of fighting for the right to exist because you have never been marginalized.

You don't know a thing about me. How do you know how my life has unfolded? There are more marginalized classes in the world than just skin colour, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

Healthcare is such a base layer of the economy, I find comparisons to be extraordinaly difficult between countries. On the most basic level our pathway to becoming a healthcare provider of all sorts is dramatically more expensive and limited than other countries, what healthcare providers are paid is dramatically more than other countries, we invest many times per capita what other countries put into basic medical research, the way are population is taxed is very different than other countries, our patient population is very different from other countries, our expectations are very different from other countries, our scale is dramatically different than other countries, and so on. The US is a singular animal politically in that it is a compact of individual states that especially in regards to healthcare, the federal goverments powers (though it may not seem so at times) are actually quite limited. It's all but impossible to come up with reasonable numerators and denominators for comparison.
Array functions feel like they're just too far from the excel design thinking. A single function that affects nearby cells is hard for me to swallow.

I kind of wish they went for the matlab cell array style where a function can return an array, but it just becomes a data structured stored within a single cell.

So TEXTSPLIT (which is great, finally), would return an object like ARRAY("I", "SAW","A","CAT") and if you wanted to unpack it you could drag a formula that was something like =$A$1?0, =$A$1?1, =$A$1?2, etc.

Or maybe just one single black magic affects-nearby-cells function called "UNPACK"

Across the board price controls seem to be a common to the various European health care systems. It is my understanding that upper limits are set for the cost of medicine.

There is quite a bit of variety across Europe - U.K. is 100% government run, France is a public/private mix, Germany is similar to Obamacare in some ways, others are single payer, apparently some are private, also. But I've read that they all have cost controls.

Now assuming the hospital is compliant the information should be available. To be fair my understanding of the argument for the old law was that you didn't want a hospital with a big sign out front saying "Broken arm repair: $10k" and having people not go in for it when there might be some financial aid they could get afterwards

Today in Massachusetts, physicians cannot get paid unless they belong to an organization that negotiates their rates with the insurers. These negotiating entities are like unions but not really. If the insurer and the organization disagree, the insurer simply goes to a different organization to make a contract. Prices were not publicly available so each negotiation resulted in a different fee schedule. On top of that, insurers invent different 'products' with different amounts of 'coverage' for different premiums. Each of these 'products' had their own negotiation, their contracts, and their own subset of physicians who chose to participate. So what do these organizations do for the cut that they take? They reduce the burden of the insurers so they dont have to negotiate with each individual provider.

Hospitals are an entirely different system. They have much more negotiating power and if an insurer has a customer that goes to a hospital emergency room outside of their contract, the insurer has to pay outlandish rates. So it is in the insurer's interest to make a deal. They achieve this by inventing different 'products' with different amounts of 'coverage' for different premiums. Each of these 'products' had their own negotiation and their contracts.

Price transparency is the first good thing that has been mandated. However, this misses the mark. The focus is the patient, not the insurer, the hospital or the physician. Accordingly, patients should be allowed to submit their explanation of benefits and their bills-this is the data that reflects the true cost of healthcare. All of the numbers provided by hospitals, insurers and physicians has been massaged and buried in a forest of minutiae.
PBS put out a documentary ages ago comparing America to other countries. At the time our administrative overhead was 25% while Taiwan's overhead was 2%.
I don't understand how this argument has any traction at all. My understanding is we had the COVID vaccines formulated within weeks of the initial outbreak. The problem is, it then took many months of large scale testing, and then scaling production to make the vaccine readily available. In the meantime, the virus spread across the globe and mutated into forms that the vaccine isn't very effective against. Treatments seem to be in a similar position as well. How are you going to test a treatment for a virus that only exists in a lab, and is safely contained?

In my opinion, TF is for cloud infrastructure up to and including the creation of the kubernetes cluster. Use the Kubernetes API with kubectl, kustomize, helm, skaffold, k14s, etc. to deploy applications and resources on the kubernetes cluster. It is my experience that using TF to deploy k8s applications and resources is putting a square peg in a round hole. It works with toy examples and simple applications, but fails in more complicated scenarios (like dev/test/prod templates and overlays) where existing k8s tools are more appropriate.

Private institutions have every right to stand behind whoever they choose. As a user, I have no intention of using Cloudflare because (even as a queer individual) I don't feel safe using a platform that would censor me if enough people were mad enough. I would much rather choose a platform that stands by their TOS as-written, instead of stepping in to arbitrate on a case-by-case basis.

Cloudflare has ever right to open Pandora's Box, but I want nothing to do with it. Much like Namecheap's fumble earlier this year, the way they handled this situation showed their true colors, and made it evident that I don't want to ever do business with them.

You can still imagine a gravity well that even a nuclear powered rocket would be unable to climb out of. Nuclear thermal rocket has greater specific impulse than chemical propellant rocket, but not by that much.

But there are other ways to climb out of any gravity well (except black hole) than a usual mass-reaction rocket, not benefiting buoyancy.

If the atmosphere is transparent enough, a plane or a ballon could carry a small craft high enough, and then it could be propelled by pressure of a strong laser below. Of course, in alien economics and sufficiently deep gravity well, this could be prohibitively expensive.

We need to revisit the system and take new approaches, like what you propose.
Have you considered something like Mitsubishi Lossnay[1]? The unit itself is not expensive. Also much cheaper to run than aircon and better for the environment.

We’re also in a high humidity environment with equally breezy construction standards and have struggled to keep the house mildew-free when we travel in Summer. We eventually settled on running a compressor-dehumidifier 24/7 during those times, but it’s not perfect.

We considered installing a Lossnay to create a consistent positive pressure gradient and help with humidity exchange, although in our case construction - although not extensive - is tricky as we’re quite high up. You might be better off.

> So, keep shipping a finite resource versus producing in situ? What if there's disruption in the logistics chain?

This point isn't obvious though. E.g. we'll likely be shipping them finite supplies of food. Supply chain disruption sucks but so is your MOXIE breaking down. MOXIE and 10 weeks of backup candles or 10,000 weeks of backup candles.

It's not obvious to me which is the cheaper / safer option.

We don't use them on subs all the time because subs don't have a lot of storage, and electrolysis is pretty easy to do.

Here is the question I think that you need to answer to choose between Rust and Zig:

If your dependencies wrap more than 2 external libraries that have poor architecture, you're about to have a miserable time in Rust.

Rust creates a lot of friction if an external library has a poor architecture. And, by default, most libraries have a very poor architecture. This leads to things like:

"Giving up on wlroots-rs"--http://way-cooler.org/blog/2019/04/29/rewriting-way-cooler-i...

Talk about the issues of RLua--https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/biq864/giving_up_on_w...
"The thing that was SO tiring about writing this for me wasn't Rust, it was reasoning about the C library that I was binding. I'm just... tired of using C APIs! I'm tired of not having the compiler reason for me, I'm tired of having to second guess at what invariants the API expects and guess at what of a myriad of interesting non-local behavior a function call will do. I know that the Lua C API is a really, especially bad example, but I just don't know what the general solution is here."

Consequently, this is where you get "Rewrite All The Things In Rust!" What's the point of fighting with Rust over all these nice safety guarantees and then throwing them out at the API boundary? If you can keep everything in Rust, this simply isn't an issue.

This is where Zig shines. It catches some of the main classes of bugs but still lets you talk to libraries with crap architecture. Zig gets the fact that infrastructure and ecosystem matter--unlike everybody else operating in the C space (the cross compiling is phenomenal, for example, because they put a lot of work into it). Zig is doing some interesting things, but it's mostly some very solid choices with a lot of elbow grease applied. And that's worth a LOT.

As an aside, I will also say that Zig feels better for embedded programming than Rust. Rust feels like it has stalled in embedded areas (things like sized integers, bitfield packing, placement construction of data structures, statics and globals that don't have locking overhead, lack of do-while, etc. although I would like to point out in Rust's favor that Rust finally got label-break-value which is a godsend when porting embedded code with goto error handling) while Zig has explicitly targeted those from the beginning. That makes Zig feel better for embedded from an ergonomic perspective, to my (obviously quite subjective) taste.
Let's not forget about unusual char sizes. The popular DSP platform TMS320 has sizeof(char) == sizeof(int), and both are 1. How? Because both are 16-bit, and by definition sizeof(char) == 1.
> Any ship capable of bringing people to Mars would be infinitely more habitable than Mars itself.

A ship only has the mass it brings with it. On Mars you have an atmosphere and mineral resources, from which you can make building materials and rocket fuel.

The asteroid belts are probably worth visiting too, but I can understand wanting to go to Mars. It's probably the most Earth-like environment in the solar system excepting the Earth itself.
