That's more or less what the compose key does (but works everywhere and not only in EMACS). :-)

Only that there isn't such combination defined by default. But adding it is trivial:

<Multi_key> <i> <i> : "ι" U03B9 # GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA

This line in your ~/.XCompose and you can type "ι" by pressing compose-i-i without changing the whole keyboard layout away form your default.

I'm using the compose key the whole time to input "special symbols"™. It's very intuitive. (Like, for example you get the "™" when pressing compose-t-m).

I have the compose key on the otherwise useless CAPS-LOCK (and CAPS-LOCK on/off by pressing left and right space simultaneously). Both options are only ticking a check-mark away when using Linux.

There is probably an argument that for accounting purposes a person should bill themselves at market costs for self-work. E.g. mowing the lawn, changing one's own oil, doing one's taxes -- all are economic activities with a value associated which is 'lost' in a traditional GDP calculation.

Richard Bird's Haskell program to solve Sudoku, both the final product and the process of deriving it from a series of less efficient versions, as described in his functional pearl paper [1]

I think for 99%+ of people that’s not much of a concern, but if it is for you, what’d be wrong with burying it under a rock in the yard, or any of the 100+ sneaky ways one could secret a envelope somewhere for safe keeping (there is a slip of paper in the copy of Moby Dick at Bob’s house in the library, and if it’s not there, there is backup one at uncle Jim’s in the NE ceiling tile of the ground floor guest bathroom).

I’m sure others have much better ideas…
Great idea, every website should write its own WebGPU-based rendering engine from scratch.

But that will be way too much effort for every kind of project, so what can really happen is some large players write engines and define interfaces for them, and we can all use them for our sites.

But different engines rendering the same data differently is probably going to be confusing (what if I want to swap them to compare performance?), so we should also standardize on some rules for how they do that. Maybe define some kind of document model and styling language?

Also, downloading all these engines on every page load might be too wasteful, so we can pick a couple of the dominant ones and bundle them into the browser itself. That way sites just have to send over structured content and the browser can load them all without a problem.

If we can ever get to this it will be a great web experience!
> Executives from PRH and Simon & Schuster argued that ... the merger would actually benefit writer pay, because it would lead to savings and allow them to spend more on books.

I snorted at that. This is the same old shtick companies trot out every time they want to do something egregiously anti-consumer--or in this case, anti-creator. That there are apparently still people that this routine works on is a touch depressing, but at least the judge wasn't one of them.

Can you explain what that is, I'm not familiar with the term?

You should factor in national and states debt. Vast majority of richness comes from turning debt (-ve) to positive via shifting it to national debt. For example? Let say, you owe 10K USD, government give you 10K USD and then cancel the debt a few mpnths or years later, you're now "wealthier" by 10K even if you do nothibg at all to get those 10K sent to you by IRA check. Americans now are poorer in real terms but get the facade of wealthy with borrowed money. Even if they dont ever need to pay off, their surrounding prices will i flates and catch up with their wealth and this is what is happening. When OPEC starts to shift half of petroldollar away, you will then understabd how we are now poorer.
I guess that's an aesthetic choice. I remembered the article a few lines in but yeah it was hard to find the date to be certain.

Turning off your heat is costing you money. You don't want to cycle all the heat out of the building and then have to warm it back up.

It's called heat capacity and the materials themselves require so much heat before you feel warm.

TL:DR Turn your heat down, but not off. Save money

Motorsports are different than other sports because the drivers' lives are under very real risk. A lot of the regulation is to keep the drivers alive. It comes at the expense of excitement but we would all agree it's necessary.
Interesting. My personal experience is with a loss of job insurance I had to buy as a condition on my mortgage, which did have somewhat reasonable terms. I also noticed options for this on life insurance, but never pursued them.

I suppose the ultimate protection a person has is savings, and it's likely more cost-effective than any form of insurance - except it's hard in practice for most people, partly because they barely have any disposable income, and partly because it requires the degree of self-control many (if not most) don't have (and the overall culture isn't encouraging it).
Making it illegal to drive over 20mph might make cars less viable as a transport option, but it doesn't make driving illegal.
I appreciated their other article: where OP explains how there are two segments of the antarctic research station: an American one, and an NZ one.

Their bank loses their mind when their bank card is physically used in America and then in NZ 30 minutes later and OP has to clear up how that isn't impossible.

As a small example of what rarely happened in any British Mueseum in the past[1]:

> In addition to skills sharing, one of the key aims was to include culturally appropriate care in the conservation process. PMAG was already in the process of forming a memorandum of understanding with the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (Te Papa) – so they were brought on board as the third partner of the project. Awhina Tamarapa became the Māori curatorial adviser on the team.

So, small baby steps.

Do lead strips detect cadmium, mercury, beryllium and arsenic? What about poisonous organic compounds? Should I invest in a full-on chemistry lab? If I buy a toy and destroy it in testing, can I buy another one for the boy to play with and trust that it'll be made of the same stuff?
I've always lived close to the Mexican border, and I've ventured into Mexico just a few times, in several of the border cities. And the one piece of advice that you really need to adhere to is to stick to the tourist areas. You go outside the tourist areas, and nobody will speak English to you, and you will probably get ripped off (more-so than any tourist would) and you just can't be guaranteed safety as an American in Mexico if you're not in a tourist area of Tijuana, Nogales, Tecate, etc.

I did venture into these off-brand areas a few times, and it is sort of night and day; you know you are out of your element, and you want to go back to the tourist zones ASAP. You really gain nothing by going outside them. It's not "local color" it's "prey on the Gringos" time out there. It is not pretty.

I don't know why EPA should care such people. Driving a car is a privilege. Also, net CO2 emission is decreased by bioethanol by theory, but it still emits toxic materials that should be caught by catalytic converters.
That’s great! Good luck with your conference.

I hope you can appreciate that there’s room between “technically correct” and “hurling expletives” for some someone to simply dislike an article. I regret my response struck a nerve—it certainly was not meant as an attack on its author.

I used to be younger and I used to love being in the middle of the “local mess”. As I got older, I just need a relaxing place with a place that meets my expectations. I traveled across 40+ countries around the world and on every continent before I was 30. I have seen it all.

“Assimilating local culture” is always the same stuff: you meet happy people with nothing, happy people with something, and unhappy people with nothing, and unhappy people with something. Turns out that - besides food and the nuances of local politics - the whole world is the same mesh. There is not much else to see. I had better conversations in Michigan with immigrant Uber drivers in a 15 minutes ride than spending one week in their country.

For a while it was fun to “go with the flow”, ultimately after so many experiences I realized that it is not the place that made the experiences fun, but the mindset. By changing my mindset I had an equal amount of fun experiences in my hometown without having to travel hundreds or thousands of miles away.

Sure..I can say this now after traveling quite a bit, perhaps we can call it experience and wiseness.

The only thing that is truly memorable are the landscapes, and the things you see: temples, pyramids, you name it. But even then, I would say that sightseeing doesn’t really mean that there is any expansive mixing with the local population. It’s a sterile experience, so to speak.
If you allow this company to happen then they’ll be able to set the market price for buying and selling books to libraries, bookstores, bookstores, etc….

If this were to happen they would also be able to limit how many books are being printed, and therefore they may censor authors and books that have unpopular or controversial opinions. They’ll also try to control the amount of books that get sold to the public because it could increase the prices of buying them in bookstores.

Interesting question. I have an interesting observation about others, to start.

I worked at my last gig both before and all through COVID, so I got something of a front-row seat to the changes that occured.

One thing I definitely, very particularly noticed, that I found quite shocking, is that colleagues I knew to be on the more extroverted side have had negative personality changes. They have shorter tempers, they actually argue with colleagues in Teams meetings, they are more bitter and angry in code reviews. They get upset with negative feedback about their code/work. I can go on...

It has been really shocking seeing some colleagues that I knew for over 3 years that were great humans, come out the end of the pandemic situation so poorly.

Colleagues that I knew to be more introverted, or had close families (were a father/mother, for example) seem to be affected far less.

This has made me conjecture that extroverted people suffered far more, socially, than introverted people, by the very nature of "lock-downs" literally being an introverted environment. It could all be anecdotal, but it still interests me.

It's actually one of the few reasons why I moved on to other opportunities. When it's your adjacent colleague, you can adapt and deal with the shorter tempers, bitterness, and such. However, when it's a significant proportion of your leadership team, that's another question!

About myself:

* I am far more productive.

* I don't have to look busy.

* I nip out to meet a friend for lunch.

* I have free-er choice when pimping my dev setup.

* Better snacks :)

* Better tea

Overall, I see it as an absolute win for someone like me.
There was no formal process. No dailies, no backlog. Deliverables were a date circled on a calendar. It was still all bullshit and lies.

No emails, no smartphones. Support people had pagers. But you weren't expected to fix world-serving infrastructure remotely. If it failed during the weekend, you'd most likely fix it on Monday. Unless something bad* happened.

There was no Internet, unless you were in academia. Knowledge came from books, magazines and from what you remembered if you didn't have these with you. Having a good network (the human kind) was essential. Although some hermit types made it very far alone... some descended into madness.

There was no Linux. A lot of software was expensive. Most software you could pirate if you knew the right people or had an account on the right BBS. "Shareware" was a where value was. You knew nobody would come after you if you never posted a paper check to the guy who made it to get a license.

Most viruses were not subtle. They would piss you off and trash your stuff. You had to reformat. You learned quick to have copies.

On the "sneakernet", floppies were king. Backpacks full of plastic. Systematic copy sessions between friends. Swapping sequenced media had a rhythm of it's own. A good excuse for drinking.

Hardware was expensive and evolved fast. That new 486 was _impressive_. People gathered around it to see it compile and do "3D" TWICE as fast as the fastest 386 before it. Moore's law in full effect. If you had the latest shit, you could boast about it with _numbers_. Not just some new color.

I knew people who printed pieces of code to study on the bus. Printers were way more important than they are now. They still haven't died and that's too bad. I hate printers.

*I was the guy with the pager that had to leave the bar at 2AM to feed printers. Fuck printers.

That's only in multiplayer games, which are basically destined to become not fun at all. It's the competition that sucks out the fun. Players optimize for winning, cheaters optimize further more, devs optimize for getting rid of cheaters and for "maximizing engagement" of the rest.

In single-player games, given the opportunity, gamers will optimize for all kinds of cheese and hilarity never expected by the designers. Doubly so with the modern Internet, where sharing videos of your silly play confers social status in relevant on-line groups.
> it wouldn't be hard to imagine that in the future strategies will be tested virtually before being employed in real.

Meet Max Verstappen[0], current reigning 2-time F1 world champion, who credits a lot of his success to how much time he spends playing racing simulators online. Seen here[1] doing something ridiculous, which works in the sim; he hasn't pulled this move on-track yet, but if he does it won't suprise me. Incidentally, most of the current generation of F1 drivers are also sim racers.

I think what these people are doing is creating goals for themselves in virtual spaces, to strive for in real space. The OP video couldn't have happened except in the exact situation that driver was in, his mind was habituated to trying to make that move, and he knew his car and track enough to make the correct call re: risk. The video game experience is only one part of that, but it's a crucial part. The rest came from real world racing experience.

Addendum to explain the video I've linked:

The streamer who is recording is close enough to the car ahead (Max Verstappen) that he gets pulled along by the slipstream effect (caused by the vacuum created behind the car ahead as it cuts through the air). This reduces the aerodynamic drag on the streamer's car, and allows him to accelerate more than the car ahead.

Normally (i.e. in meatspace racing), in this situation, the following car would wait as long as possible in the slipstream, until right before the next braking zone, then take a sharp turn out from behind the leading car, pass them (with the faster acceleration), and then try to brake later than the leading car before turning into the next corner, ensuring they'd go into the corner first, and thus come out of the corner first.

In this clip, Max anticipated all of the above, moved out from in front of the following car (breaking the slipstream himself), braked much earlier than a racing driver normally would (allowing the streamer's car to temporarily pass him), and used the time he lost to assess the streamer's racing line (read: vector) into the corner. Then he aimed his own car into the gap between that line and the corner of the track, and used the extra space to accelerate earlier than the streamer. By doing this, he negated every advantage the streamer had gained from the slipstream, and stayed ahead.

I imagine you've never really engaged in political philosophy very thoroughly?

The opposite, I grudgingly came to this conclusion after decades of believing (or I guess, hoping) differently. Not that it's an original conclusion, many philosophers called it out long before I was even born. Took me awhile to see it.

When you say "we are stuck relying on the intelligence and wisdom of the masses" you're making a pro-elitism argument. In that the masses ought to be ruled by people better than the masses

Yes, and again I always hoped this not to be the case. But the reality is the majority of people either can't be bothered to think logically or simply aren't capable.

So in short, I think you should probably read a little more about political philosophy to be able to say something as big as "Democracy is incompatible with freedom". It's a pretty big statement.

It's the only logical conclusion though. Government only grows. And with that growth comes more and more taxation to fuel the growth and more and more laws/restrictions/regulations on individual freedoms to justify the growth.
Direct primary care (DPC)/concierge is mostly cash only so you document as you see fit and are not held to the rules of having to use an EHR/EMR. Many of those who do this model are on paper as they are more “old school” at this time. Younger physicians would document more just because they are taught this in residency but some of the malpractice lawyers we had presentations with often said document well but don’t over do it as over-documentation can mean more things to be picked at when your are being sued. That said, over documentation helps billers code for every single thing they can and want more over documentation. So in general, they will hassle you to over-document. They will send you messages in the EMR, send you emails, even sometimes use the pager service until you update your note.

I think the legal worries, when it’s in concierge medicine, are over blown because at that point you are seeing a physician that is doing more quality than quantity to make ends meet. You don’t need to document to appease the biller but document enough to know what you did and so that you could share your chart notes with other providers in case the patient ever moved to another provider or (super rare) if they were admitted into the hospital and they needed some documentation for whatever reason. DPC, you are the boss and control how many patients you want to take on. In general private practice, you are at the mercy of the hospital system, payers, etc etc and are pulled in 7 different ways to make money which only benefits them and not the physician. Even then, with primary care, you are told you are a “loss leader” since we aren’t specialists and generally dumped on in the medical field.

In “private” practice, you need to see 20-30/day patients to make your salary (break even) without bonuses within a hospital/health system. That means about 400-450 patients per month. Major payers limit you to 3,000 patients under your care overall.

Studies show that 1,000:1 should be the max patient:physician ratio but many of us are around the 2-3k mark. In a true concierge medicine/direct primacy care model, since it’s mostly cash/subscription model, most of physicians average 300-500 patient panel per year which is about 4-6 patients a day. If you want to see more and make more on the side, see 400-600 patients. Are you an older doc who wants to practice but not see many patients, see 2-4 patients a day, 1-2 days a week and cover costs and still make a comfortable living.

Like I said, something is going break in the medical system and it’s only a matter of time. When it does, the healthcare disparities and inequalities will really become more apparent. Hospital systems/admins/insurance companies are now leaning on mid-levels like NPs/PAs as a bandaid to the issues of patient access but what will happen when you burn them out too?

/rant

Tldr, concierge medicine, your own boss, do whatever you want with your charting. You can chart 5 words or 5 paragraphs. Most physicians will chart enough to document well for medical and legal reasons and not have to worry about billers muddying the waters to over-document. Quality time with patients = less legal risk.
