I have Kaiser for medical coverage, which is about the closest you'll get to socialized healthcare here in the US if you don't qualify for Medicare or the VA.

I live in a populated area so we have a full doctor's office and hospital nearby, which is where my primary care doctor is.

I never have trouble getting medical care. I don't always see the same specialist (in fact it's rare to see the same one for different cases) but I have no trouble seeing my primary doctor or getting his input.

I think they've done two things to make it a lot easier to get care -- email and video appointments. I can email my doctor whenever, including pictures, and oftentimes he's able to prescribe some tests or meds right over email, and if he's not there, one of his colleagues will answer the email instead. They have a really good shared mailbox system.

And if I need to talk to the doctor, I can get a video appointment. Those allow the doctor to see a lot more patients, because I just wait online until they're ready, we have our chat, and then they move on to the next person. They don't have to clean a room in between, they don't have to have a room for me to sit and wait in, they don't need a nurse to check me in, etc.

My annual checkups are the doctor sending me an email asking if I have any issues to talk about, and ordering a bunch of tests. I go in for the tests, which is super efficient because it's a huge lab for the entire office and hospital and I don't need an appointment. Then he emails me back when the results are in to let me know if he needs to see me.

Overall it's pretty efficient, in part because they've embraced technology, and in part because it's basically a team of doctors, with my primary care doc as the default but certainly not only person who can respond.

> What is Codon?

> Codon is a high-performance Python compiler that compiles Python code to native machine code without any runtime overhead. Typical speedups over Python are on the order of 10-100x or more, on a single thread. Codon's performance is typically on par with (and sometimes better than) that of C/C++. Unlike Python, Codon supports native multithreading, which can lead to speedups many times higher still. Codon grew out of the Seq project.

> What isn't Codon?

> While Codon supports nearly all of Python's syntax, it is not a drop-in replacement, and large codebases might require modifications to be run through the Codon compiler. For example, some of Python's modules are not yet implemented within Codon, and a few of Python's dynamic features are disallowed. The Codon compiler produces detailed error messages to help identify and resolve any incompatibilities.

> Codon can be used within larger Python codebases via the @codon.jit decorator. Plain Python functions and libraries can also be called from within Codon via Python interoperability.

It seriously sucks in France too. I didn't realize it was so bad until I started to have health issues. I suppose that when things are/become serious, doctors find a slot for you. That is if you're fortunate enough to at least have access to a MD.

At least, things are cheap compared to the US.

If it accepts a subset of python it's technically python: any codon-python program is a python program. Not full python but python nonetheless...

My understanding:

The goal is not to compile existing python code but to write new python code meant to be compiled in order to be faster. Limited use, still useful.

Maybe there has been a paradigm shift here? Analogous to house-calls no longer being a "thing", maybe minor things like ear infections, pink eye, strep throat, etc. are now relegated to urgent care physicians.

Massive sharing of illegal binaries and consequently ISPs dropping Usenet support was the "undoing".

Usenet started as a relatively low-volume medium connecting ivory towers. It became huge with the opening of the Internet to the public, with ISPs everywhere hosting NNTP servers.

Usenet ended up being used for massive file sharing, which was probably a big reason for ISPs, in turn, dropping NNTP servers. They didn't want the administrative overhead of providing all that storage, and plus most of the content was copyright infringing.

So, Usenet is just back to the way it was in some ways. You will find some people that qualify as key people in the comp newsgroups.

The original key people from the 1980's or 1990's aren't coming back; they are deceased or retired.

By the way, the same person, John Levine, has been moderating comp.compilers for well over thirty years, since January 1986. Someone will have to pick that up sooner or later.

> If you think 8gb of ram is enough, which it isn't, especially on macOS.

Depends what you do, and for many people you'd be wrong.

I've been using an 8GB M1 Air for a couple of years and never had an issue caused by memory constraints.

And that's with multiple instances of Rider and GoLand, VS Mac, VS Code, dozens of Brave tabs, multiple terminal sessions, locally-running Postgres, MS Word, Calibre, and more running simultaneously on a cold and silent machine. Also AI art generation using Stable Diffusion models, 768x768 rendering, and 4x upscaling, without issue. Plus running Parallels with Windows 11 and Visual Studio (ARM) was totally acceptable.

The only thing I haven't tried, and that I expect it would choke on, is multiple VMs or loads of containers.

It's amazing what you can do with 8GB RAM. I'd echo your original especially on macOS but to show the exact opposite, as my 16GB 10th Gen i5 Windows 11 machine lags with a much smaller workload whilst heating the house.
Codon can't even run the whole python standard library. It changes integer semantic from arbitrary width to fixed width. Exaloop's own docs refer to the process of converting code between the two as "porting".

Unfortunately, plasma levels of many elements don't tell you if you aren't deficient already. For many tissue deficiencies you need to do e.g. radioactive scans which nobody will do for you. You can be vitamin deficient, potassium deficient etc. and plasma deficiency will show up only when you are really at the edge of something chronic or death.

The point would be micropayments without the ads - which are mostly noise anyway.

From the creator POV YouTube and Kindle Unlimited approach this model. So does Spotify, to an extent.

But the payments are much smaller than the value generated. And creators are at the mercy of gigantic centralised content distribution machines which can destroy your career on a whim, or because of an unfortunate outbreak of stupidity and bureaucracy.

There isn't anything like a federated micropayments system which would offer aggregation and payment services, but would be run at cost - a bit like the cultural equivalent of a credit union.
After seeing the headline, I decided to try out KDE on Wayland (KDE on X is my daily driver at home). It locked my tty, displaying nothing to my screens, and I had to hard reset my machine.

If you observe toddlers, at the early stages of their development you can see the "inner voice" at play, their lips moving as they reason through scenarios whilst playing with toys (and deaf/mute children similarly signing with their hands under the table).

You're referring to a nurse practitioner (NP), and the key thing is they can prescribe medication, so, if you need prescription strength cough medicine or something like that, they're great! However, if you have something strange that you'd need a medical savant like Dr House to diagnose, they're no good, so they'll confer with MD colleagues and follow up. But also, Dr House is a fictional doctor and no doctor is that good. (If you know of a specialist that is, I've got a friend with a chronic pain disorder that needs help.)

Having a medical professional on tap - I've never had to wait more than 15 mins to see someone virtually - is great and well worth the price of admission of you can afford it (couple hundred a year). Virtually is great because if you're sick, the last thing you want to do is leave the house, but they also do in person visits as well.

They also have the facilities to do blood draws and give vaccines.

Hope their new owner (Amazon) doesn't mess things up.

Yes and no. The buck needs to stop with somebody and that responsibility is on the GP. So, you need at least ONE visit to the main GP before you can access their assistants.

I agree that most of what GPs do is be a "router" than sends your packet to various specialists. But somebody actually has to do it.

The watch doesn't "require" charging for fitness functions, unless I'm reading what Casio announced wrong. According to them, the watch will recharge enough with the solar panel quickly enough to use the fitness functions for 7 hours a week(1 hour a day). Sure, for some people that's not enough, but I imagine for a lot(like myself) who only do 1-2 hours of actual exercise where I want to use the tracker per week, that's more than enough. I can't wait to order it, and I plan on never using the USB charger - will see if that proves doable.

Gonna add in here for those of y'all US-based: get tested for apoB levels regularly, and once in your life (the sooner the better) for lp(a).

> How can you get any work done like this?

People get work done by knowing what they're doing, which I'm not sure you are able to tell.

There is plenty of literature that explains quite thoroughly the process of software architecture. Basically all major software architecture styles from the past four decades reflect the need to encapsulate and insulate implementation details, including the need to specify a domain model and how it should be specific and exclusive to each project.

Somehow, you are oblivious to basic principles but still feel entitled to insult others based on domain knowledge you clearly lack.
Not for sure, but if they aren't planning weird cable locks then they can ignore the warning.

You have to understand both how the jyutping romanization works (i.e. what sound 'bat' makes) as well as what the tones in Cantonese are. I'll let you read about the initials and finals (mostly consonants and vowels). There are some tricky ones: the 'c' in cat is pronounced more like an aspirated 'ts'.

There are six or nine tones in Cantonese:

high
middle rising
middle
low rising
low
low falling

There are also three "entering" tones that some people don't distinguish at all, as they're sort of just the high/middle/low tones but short. I couldn't tell you whether they're really separate tones or just short versions of the first six.

You can see how the tone marks on the font line up with the tones here -- if you know them, the font marks are a reasonable guide.
> > The collections agency had also put a black mark on my credit history.

> This doesn't seem to be true.

Maybe the situation has changed over the past couple decades. (I don't recall which of the three credit reporting agencies this was with.) It was true for me back then. :)

In my case, the collector didn't initiate contact. I learned of the situation because I checked my credit report and then it was I who contacted them. I didn't know who they were or why they thought I owed them money. They tried to convince me to pay them, saying they'd remove the mark from my credit report after I did so.

I had believed the medical service (a couple years in the past at that time) had been completely covered by insurance and didn't know that anyone thought money was owed. I don't know where the original miscommunication/mistake had occurred. I only know that the collector dinged my credit report and that I had documentation showing that my insurance had addressed the original claim (paying the medical provider), which enabled me to challenge the collection agency's assertion.

(Thank you for the additional information and context you've added about collection agencies. I knew little about them outside of my direct experience with this one.)
