My wife is currently in the middle of a fight over this. Her salary is paid by a grant from an organization that has a minimum pay scale for postdocs. The university has its own standard pay scale for postdocs, which is about $20k/year lower. So far they've refused to budge. It's not even their money, there's just 4 layers of bureaucracy who have nothing better to do than ~enforce policy~ no matter the cost.
Did you have to take a pay cut? Asking for a friend.
Here's an update: I'm canceling my account.

The amount of entertainment I and the three people I share with get out of Netflix isn't worth the 4x cost increase. Maybe the other guys will get accounts, I don't know. I'm sure for some people it's worth it.
Those colleagues were very wealthy by Indian standards to begin with and have only increased their purchasing power by being abroad. India does in fact have free care at government facilities and they are certainly not "low overhead and high skill". I'd pick rural American healthcare over rural Indian healthcare 10 times out of 10.
If you take an industry cornered by an entrenched cartel and then socialize it as-is you are only cementing their control over it even further, making a healthy competitive market impossible. Prices are criminally exorbitant now, what makes you think they'll go down when the government is the one paying them? If history is anything to go by the effect will be the opposite
At least with schools there was the school day and trip there and home. After that you were probably alone and not constantly connected even on weekends.

Excellent perspective, not only do the corps have unrealistic standards of evidence, but when they’re questioned by political leaders they outright lie. ex fb claimed they didn’t design their software to hack the dopamine/serotonin systems and the politicians just said “ok”. like what?

We’re living in times where no one is held accountable. Literally billions of lives are being destroyed or seriously damaged for relatively minor profits (per damage caused anyway). When will it change? The populace is so powerless and the politicians are so evil… it’s perfectly understandable why nihilism is so embraced these days
And, come to think of it, some additional great features would be automatic TLS certs via Let's Encrypt and maybe even being able to use a shared cache with multiple instances of nginx.
Smartphones are certainly not "necessary for survival" by any means.
I think there is mixed evidence this is beneficial vs fixed prices. I'm not outright against the idea, but there has to be robust pricing and metadata available so you can be a high information consumer when shopping for non emergency services.

The problem with US healthcare isnt the payer, its the supply of workers/red tape.

Physicians are clearly the worst with their complete control through the ACGME/AMA, but pharmacists were a huge lobbyist in 2008 when it mattered. The various owners, hospitals, pharma manufacturing, pharmacies, all make sure they keep the red tape strong and the medicaid + medicare payments coming.
Show HN: Linux dist that deletes a random file every time an invalid cmd is ran
Yes, the idea comes from qntm's Suicide Linux

You can run it in an isolated environment using docker:

docker run --rm -it -t rgbcube/selfharm-linux

Or if you are feeling a bit brave, you can mount it to your filesystem:

docker run --rm -it -v /:/host rgbcube/selfharm-linux
In the original post[0] it was $6 for 100 pack too. And someone pointed out that msrp is $70 so it’s not that bad and ebay was probably either a scam or surplus. Most things on reddit is bs for votes or straight up astroturfing.

Thank you. Why are you shallowly dismissing my comment?

There is a very deep connection between movement, consciousness and health

This has been studied and practiced for thousands of years by millions of people

Yet the west insists on reinventing the wheel and marketing these “discoveries” as their own invention

Please don’t dismiss my comments as shallow if you are just going to point to some policy instead of actually adding to the conversation
I'm not 100% sure about the conclusion, in which we force private insurers to cover the cost for rural services. I suggest there is a middle ground where rural life is reformed slightly to become economically sustainable. Rural America is in many ways ridiculously expensive to serve, and not just for health care. Consolidating populations into compact towns that have several thousand people fixes a lot of those cost issues, and it also goes a long way toward preventing the need for the hospitals in the first place, which for rural ER departments comes from car crash injuries.
I just made a comment on another HN story about social media and mental illness, and a game/sim project I'm building to address it. in some (hopefully) constructive way:

At the moment, there is no "defacto", as both provide significant value.

As others have said, Alma has been awesome and blazingly fast on releases, both Rocky and Alma are very fast on security/errata updates, and Rocky has been excellent on testing/QA (as our identification of a pretty major PPC bug demonstrates).

Rocky has always been 100% open with all development and community involvement with every part of the process and always reproducible by others. While this is does add a bit of latency in the build and release process, we believe always having a diverse community involved is well worth the tradeoff.

Where we can do better? ... Messaging! I've become a personal target since starting Rocky, so I tend to not engage directly anymore. Luckily, we do have a new community team lead, and she seriously ROCKS!

It is necessary for the community to always have alternatives. This is what will ensure that an open source Enterprise Linux alternative will exist for everyone.

It is amazing to be part of this and we would love to have you and others join us and check it out for yourself: https://chat.rockylinux.org.
I’ve been using this on Mac for a few months now. It’s great to have an alternative to Docker desktop although it doesn’t feel fully there yet, on Mac at least. What is available in the UI is slick - but so many features are missing I often just end up back in the shell. Am experiencing a lot of strange behaviours in terminal sessions via the UI also, particularly hung sessions and it being way too easy to accidentally close the session by switching Ui tabs.

Your premise is that these are not editable models, but you restrict that to a situation that is not true in practice. These models are constantly changing based on human feedback, updated information, config changes, and weight manipulation.

If you follow the conversation around LLMs, one of the top issues people have is inconsistent responses and the models changing under their prompts and breaking them.
Erm, I haven't seen a projector outside of conferences in years. All of our conference rooms had gigantic flat screen TVs. HDMI just worked.

Although, I have noticed more problems now that Apple doesn't have HDMI ports on anything. However, we plebians outside the Apple ecosystem are generally still fine.

I've seen some fail pretty hard on the fences, but I also think they're good climbing options for gators.

I was walking one night and saw ~8-9ft one about 20 ft up the road so I obviously stopped walking that way. It was going for a 3-4 ft concrete wall and just kept flopping and falling over repeatedly. I hung out for a while to see if it ever beat the tiny little wall, but nope. Just kept hitting the concrete.

The medical cartels caused this. Their greed has made it impossible to afford healthcare.
Probably something sexual... I was reading on bonobos recently, and how female bonobos quickly rub their clitorises together to greet one another.

It is really fascinating how sex is a huge part of their culture.
So if they are allowing you to use on devices and networks outside of your home or ones you don't normally use, how are they identifying unique individuals or "households?"
I'm just daydreaming here, completely understand they have a business to run and they probably thought long and hard about which features to put into which license. No criticism intended, just something that eventually might catch up on them if another http server/proxy can offer everything that nginx does plus the missing items.
Just wondering what your thoughts are on China's self determination in deciding to invade or not? Why are you acting like the US is the one invading another nation?

Complete nonsense. Cooperating with Putin lead to the invasion of Ukraine. Cooperating with the Chinese Communist Party can only lead to the invasion of Taiwan.
As I understand it, the 5 eyes are not allowed to spy on their citizens nor on the citizens of the partner nations. How are we here then discussing these problems?
People here seem to go straight to politics on US healthcare, but does anyone ever stop to consider that this really is a complicated problem?

I’ll look at two political extremes:

- in a pure-market healthcare situation, these hospitals likely wouldn’t exist in the first place. Health services would be worse than they are now in rural areas, to the point that many probably wouldn’t have “real” health services at all because there’s not enough of a market to support it. You can say “well that’s my choice to live somewhere I can’t pay for healthcare” and that’s a different discussion, but free market wouldn’t get good healthcare in rural places.

- you could have a single payer system, at which point providing good healthcare to rural areas would be a “net drain” on everyone else. Basically people in dense areas would be subsidizing people in rural areas REGARDLESS of those people’s incomes or wealth (this is a similar problem to many ex-urbs in America where we basically subsidize the infrastructure of rich people who live there).

Neither of these seems to work out well, and I worry neither I politically sustainable. It doesn’t strike me as an easy problem…

Just for fun i thought i’d try to trip this up by hosting my podman containers on a remote x64 host:

x64$ podman system service -t 0 &
x64$ systemctl enable --now --user podman.socket

Then telling podman on my m1 macbook air to use the remote machine rather than spinning up a podman machine locally on the m1:

m1$ podman system connection add fedora --identity ~/.ssh/id_rsa --port 22 ssh://craig@s1.local/run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock
m1$ podman system connection default fedora

but it actually works just fine \o/ either way this is pretty but i’ll stick to the cli.
I don't think it means that. It seems to say that Apple will buy components for RF, not necessarily modems and antennas.

I'd be very surprised if Apple gave up on their internal modems. Not sure about whether the plan was ever to make antennas or just to have IP protection for option value. But there are a ton of other parts in the RF stack.

Aka, even elite tech people with everything to lose, can't turn down a pretty young girl. Thus, I understand why OPs company did what they did.

You can keep talking in circles about what you think the world should be like. I'm talking about what it's actually like.

No, you're projecting "boring" onto it. That's how you feel about what they're buying, not how they feel.

I stand by my original point that it's tasteful. Classic shades of white, gray, silver, and black are in good taste, which is why people buy them. The buyers aren't saying "I want a boring color", they're saying "I want a tasteful shade".

Late to this party, wanted to add something here. Wholly agree with your perspective.

The counter-trend to this is the structural-first approach to TS, which eschews return types, and uses mechanisms like the 'satisfies' keyword to ensure that the type evaluates against known symbols, while maintaining the language-server inferred type product in all contexts. The tl;dr goal of this method is to make code that presses compiler-safety at every edge.†

Inversely, the JSDoc method sees you explicitly define everything, and what you save is writing a d.ts file (sometimes). You can pass the TS compiler over it, but it's not going to give you the incremental typing benefit. What you get are a bunch of black boxes with a published contract and a pretend-really-hard approach to typing.

That is frequently fine in cases like libraries. What I worry about is your average dev†† assuming this objectively traction-control-off approach to writing JavaScript approach is good, or rigorous. I don't doubt the svelte team is perfectly capable of writing code in this mode of delivery, and has an armada of tests to back up the proposition. The average dev always opts for easy, and therefore will take to this approach with gusto, but balk at the testing that is necessary to make up for some of the blackbox behavior (blind calls, function internal any, implicit unknown passing that TS would reject, et al) that may not be fully consistent with the behavior the purported type signatures suggest.

†for the sake of argument, I'll define "average dev" as people with a few years of experience still feeling out their place in the industry, and the 9-5 contingent who may or may not own a computer at home and like that paycheck.

††I don't necessarily rep this approach, it's just the other extreme*
Why would I?

I spent from 1996 (when I graduated) -2012 as a part time fitness instructor, active runner and a weightlifter.

I spent from 1996-2002 and 2006-2012 hanging out with friends and dating (I was married from 2002-2006.

From 2012-2022 I spent my time with family (got remarried in 2012).

By the end of 2022, my wife and I had gotten rid of everything that wouldn’t fit into three suitcases and decided to be “hybrid digital nomads” where we stay in our “vacation home” from October - early February and we fly around to different cities in the US for the other 7 months.

I’ve also taken back up running.

There is so much more to life than pecking on a computer during my free time.

Wow, the last few years are a shocking drop. In 2010, 70% reported "very or quite satisfied" and 18% "very or quite dissatisfied." 2010 - 2020 seemed to hover around 60-65% "very satisfied."
Eh, most of the current designs in the US healthcare industry has its roots with the move to employer-sponsored healthcare in the 1940s (see: 1942 Stabilization Act and it's consequences). Private health insurance was barely a thing in the 1920's and pretty much didn't exist before then.
Docker containers solved this for me. I can’t remember the last time I installed a web app.

A site that has to rely on ads to survive doesn't have a viable business model, or in your case interesting enough/in demand enough content.

It's as simple as that.

Ads are largely a false economy anyway.

You're right, but we're talking about Apple. While they may not be able to introduce a ChatGPT competito, Siri basically has a captive audience. With OS-level integrations, you can easily imagine a much more powerful and interactive Siri which becomes popular just because it's available out of the box and offers OS level integrations which a 3rd party chatbot can't.

It's also not like AI tools are why people buy Apple products. So "waiting" probably doesn't cost them much money -- it doesn't impact their core hardware and service revenue. It's "just" a value add for now.
Rust is the first systems programming language since C++ I have seen pushed by multiple large tech companies.

Go was pushed primarily by Google

Swift was pushed primarily by Apple

C# was pushed primarily by Microsoft

I am seeing a push for Rust by Microsoft, Google, and Amazon.

In retrospect, it almost seems that Mozilla closing the Rust team was a good thing for Rust as a lot of the Rust developers ended up at other companies and Rust became more than just a Mozilla language.
I think the bigger issue is that the use case .htaccess was designed for (multiple users sharing a single physical server) just isn't really a thing anymore AFAIK. If you're just managing rules in your own container somewhere, there's no sense keeping the logic in multiple places.

My opinion of VA healthcare dropped a lot living next to a VA hospital. There were a lot of homeless nearby who seemed to be veterans who had come for the hospital.
Most of these companies are there because of the HP campus set up there in the 70s/80s. HP liked setting up offices in small towns near colleges where they were the essentially the only tech employer. Broadcom bought HP's fab facilities after they divested. Microsoft started an office there because they wanted to hire optical mice engineers who were working for HP.
