You're actually asking, would you rather be forced to have all your health needs taken care of, or have the freedom to choose inadequate healthcare in order to save money?
haha I'm glad someone said it, it always bothered me

I guess no matter how good the design is, you have to think about how it looks in 16x16 & 32x32 when most people only see the logo when they look at the tiny icon on their desktop
Thank you for sharing that!
> Private entities such as your employer can restrict your speech in many ways.

Fun fact: Europe actually has better protections for free speech for employees. Even if you're a hardcore Nazi taking part in actual Nazi rallies, unless you're wearing company clothing or are a high-ranking corporate official, you can't get fired for that. And when you, say, contribute to an open source project in your non-work time on your own computer, your employer doesn't get any rights to that code.
Are you saying I should eat in bed, my plate on the floor, me hanging half out of bed? It doesn't sound like a posture I would associate with healthy eating habits, but I'm willing to make that sacrifice.
An interpreter with a JIT compiler is able to do more optimizations because it has the runtime context to make decisions, while a AOT (ahead of time) compiler will not know anything about what happens at runtime.

This is why some JIT'd languages (like Javascript) can be sometimes faster than C.
was it the treatment or the fact that they weren't vaccinated that led to the higher death rate?

But Thunderbird is just a Mail User Agent, not a Mail Transfer Agent. So it doesn’t have much say in protecting your mail delivery anyway.
I take it personally, as it is. It is not generic feedback for everyone, it is personal feedback towards me.

In order not to get upset or bogged down by feedback i start with saying: thank you. Then I try to remind myself of how careful I try to be when providing feedback to others and/or how hard it can be at times.
Until i run into a big bottleneck in react and cannot find a way to overcome it, i am not gonna switch from react to yet another new framework. Time is better allocated for more important things.
But doesn't the attitude that one should trust the 998 system also actively harm people with mental illness?
Xoogler understanding of privacy, trying to woo non-xoogler privacy fans

Google has a "collect a lot but don't sell it" approach to data, and Neeva had similar vibes (only giving "basic" search unless you opt in to having your data collected but its ok its private collection)

Big mismatch with its main audience, and that mismatch was raised early, but ignored.
I would rather the state be able to collectively bargain on behalf of 330+ million individuals, personally. It would dramatically reduce costs. I never understand this argument because the average American pays more in insurance premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses than what the tax would be. Unless you're a (temporarily embarrassed) millionaire I don't get it. As a nation we spend 2x as much per capita on healthcare costs than any other developed nation, and for some of the worst outcomes! Cuba, a tiny island nation-state suffering from 60 years of embargo has lower child mortality rates (under 5 years, infants, and neonatal) compared to the US. How can that be justified?

Yes. IMO, we have to be willing to accept errors of both types (under-intervention and over-intervention) in order to design a system that is the most helpful overall.

Some people who call a suicide prevention hotline will go on to kill themself. That by itself is not evidence of a flaw in the hotline or its policies.
It's been interesting to observe the monoculture as an American living in Germany. For instance, during the George Floyd protests in the states, there were mass demonstrations against police brutality in the US being held in Berlin.

I think that police brutality and racial discrimination are important issues, but I could not help wondering what those (mostly) teens and young adults hoped to accomplish by protesting what's happening in a completely different society thousands of kilometers away. Especially when there's plenty of discrimination to get upset about right here in Germany.
Still can't believe that they use RAM for buffering file transfer from wsl to windows. It's such a downer if you work with huge datasets
I'm sure they do. I just see far more nuisance bugs and some like the fake lady bugs and stink bugs are themselves invasive species.

Right, but you're advocating keeping the whole of society in the dark versus relying on twelve people to be fair, which is what they're told to do. I would say that the latter is better than the former because of the immense harm keeping the whole of society in the dark. It's a numbers game.

That bird looks so angry
At the beginning of my career when I was out to prove myself, I took my job so seriously that my sense of personal self-worth was intricately tied up with the quality of my work. After a particularly disappointing experience that knocked me off my horse for a while, I concluded that putting some distance between my career and the subjective experience of my place in the world was essential to my mental health.

I try to be mindful that the relationship between my work and my person / identity is one of many such relationships in life, and maybe even not the most important one. I think that mindset makes it easier to accept criticism or even to reject it when I think it is irrelevant, misguided, or malicious, as unfortunately workplace criticism can sometimes be.

If your work is being fairly criticized, it's an opportunity to learn and grow. Take it as a compliment that someone actually cared enough about your professional development to offer advice on how to be better. It means they already think that you're good and worthy of improvement. On the other hand, be willing to accept the possibility that that criticism is not actually constructive but intended specifically to make you feel guilty or ashamed. Unfortunately, some people are just petty, small-minded, and manipulative, and will do anything to make you feel small in order for them to feel big.
Then what is the need for an ID card?
I wish this was the case in Turkey, where I am currently living.

But it seems like QR menus are one way to handle inflation and changing prices for the restaurants.

I hate QR menus with a passion, but I also feel for the restaurants who would otherwise have to print new menus every few months.
Top Graph Databases in 2023 According to DB-Engines: A Comparative Review
This is a... tough question to answer. Do I apologise? Yes. Is it a sincere apology for wasting time? Not really.

I can explain better with examples.

"Sorry for wasting your time with this mistake," feels very formal and isn't really applicable in most cases. It would be more appropriate if, say, I'd made a mistake, not owned up to it, and the lack of accountability has a negative impact.

"Ah shit, that's totally broken. Sorry, that was my bad!" is more what I'd do and it's a lot less formal. I'm not really apologising or feeling any remorse. I didn't do anything immoral, here. What I'm really saying with "sorry" is "I am accountable for making this mistake and I will commit to fixing it."

I hope this helps clarify the different meanings.
> How many suicides were prevented?

Given that involuntary detention increases the risk of suicide, this caused suicides rather than prevent them. Especially by using deception to involuntarily detain someone, which is known to have a devastating effect. So a negative number.

https://www.madinamerica.com/2019/06/involuntary-hospitaliza...

In general it is the amount of psychiatric help a person gets, not their problems, that predicts the odds of a successful suicide.

This even applies to children.

And yes, the corollary does apply: refusing help does reduce the risk significantly.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1023455/

Suicide prevention is about reducing the risk for others, specifically the psychiatry industry (but also school, work, government, ...). Not about reducing the risk for the victims or their families. It is about hiding the problem of suicide, not about actually preventing it or helping families. And sure, not because they don't want to help, but because they can't, due to a combination of not knowing how, not caring, and help needed (e.g. housing) not being available.

> How many people were saved from harm by another person?

This is not 911, is this even an option? I suppose I don't know.

> Has general mental health improved?

No it's gotten worse.

It's not about neutralising stomach acid (for which there are many methods already), but training the muscles around the entrance of the stomach to keep that stuff in your stomach.

I was diagnosed one or two years ago with a problem where my lower esophageal sphincter doesn't close properly (took an endoscope rummaging around in my stomach; not a pleasant experience), and I think my lower esophagus is too wide. It causes stomach acid to flow up, especially at night, and especially if I ate something late in the evening.

They said quite a lot of people had this problem (1 in 20? 1 in 5?), making it sound like some unavoidable problem that I just need to treat by not snacking in the evening, taking daily pills that reduce the amount of acid my stomach produces, and maybe sleeping on my left side, so gravity keeps the contents of my stomach where they need to be. But if it's possible to train these muscles, that might be worth trying too.
As a developer, I've often found myself wrestling with the critical decision of choosing the right database for my projects. The impact of this choice can be far-reaching, influencing not just the immediate performance, but the entire future trajectory of a project. I wrote this article to aid others who might be in the same boat. Drawing on the trusted rankings provided by DB-Engines, I've analyzed and compared the top 10 graph databases of 2023. My hope is that this comparative review will not only shed light on the pros and cons of each database but also inspire informed choices that could ultimately elevate the quality and success of your future projects.

Embracing Data Security: The Hypervault Journey
That is not exactly true. If you factor in state, county and property taxes, the taxes in the US are similar or sometimes even higher than other western European countries (It depends on the income and living situation, you could maybe approximate the average by looking at the state budget per capita (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_governm...), but calculating it is far more complicated).

If you factor in insurance, Americans pay more as their percentage of income. In the US there is more private and public bureaucracy in the healthcare system, higher wages for doctors (because they often have to repay their student debt and prices are on average higher in the US) and overall higher prices for equipment and drugs (often due to (often lobbied) laws that favor some US businesses). In Europe health care is treated more as a public service (although there is also for profit health care there). The high profits for US companies in the medical sector have to come from somewhere and they often come from the pacients and the taxpayer, because the US also subsidizes their health care system by taxes. In fact the US government spends more per capita than other governments in the world on health care.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_h...

Besides that the taxes in the US are more inefficiently spend than in many western European countries. I could write a long essay about that, but this is just a comment to a hn comment and I already spent to much time on writing it.
In Ukraine, this is a trend that is now in nearly 100% of venues, and it works nothing short of perfectly.

You flip through the menu on your phone and then order with a waiter. When done, you pay online via Apple Pay or whatever you want. Instantly and with tips.

Just a couple of companies do provide this service here in Ukraine and both managed to get the UI/UX just right so the experience is excellent.

Visiting Europe, I see so many absolutely brain-damaged implementations of online menus that I have to ask myself whether the developers ever used their product or if they are just dead inside people.

It's difficult to detect sarcasm online, so here goes:

"What do you read to follow the news?" is an incredibly easy question. Even if she doesn't read any newspaper, she could have just named one. "USA Today" is a pretty safe answer that won't offend anyone. Watching Palin struggle with this basic question was painful.
I thought that the First Amendment was about not allowing government to restrict speech and doesn't cover private issues such as between individuals or between an employer and an employee?

With the mob boss example, wouldn't the charge be something like conspiracy to commit murder rather than prosecuting the instruction itself? i.e. saying the words is not in itself illegal, but the intention to conspire to get the person to commit crime on your behalf is the illegal part and the instruction is evidence.
In the end it's a philosophical question: if you value individual freedom above all else, why even have a suicide prevention hotline? If you can agree that preventing suicides should be something society (sounds better than "the system") wants, and you create a suicide prevention hotline, how far should they be allowed to go to prevent suicides? The people working there will of course want to help people, and may even be made liable if they don't do everything in their power to help someone once they know of their situation. Or at the very least, limiting what they are allowed to do to help someone will lead to burn-out: imagine how traumatizing it is to know that someone you talked to then went through with their suicide because you weren't allowed to track their phone?
At least, by the time your reflux is gone, you will be an excellent gymnast.
I think while this is a popular way to think about these things, it doesn't offer enough explanatory power for when things seemingly "go wrong":

Rights afforded by a state are restrictions on a state's power over its subjects. But as the state holds ultimate authority, the only way these rights are upheld in practice is through a system of self-imposed indirection and bureaucracy that mostly exists to limit the power of any one individual operating the state, rather than the state as a whole.

The First Amendment means whatever the state wants it to mean. The Supreme Court can make a case-specific ruling one way or another but it intentionally holds no direct power. A police officer can literally get away with killing you if they can construct a scenario that gives them sufficient justification to do so. The problem with intelligence agency is that by necessity they have less red tape holding them down and they're thus in practice far less limited in how much power they can wield.

States are authoritarian and oppressive by default. They're only held back by self-imposed limitations. But those limitations only exist at the behest of the states themselves. Try and openly plan to dismantle a state (using violence or not) and most states will abandon any pretense of freedom of speech in a second.

Was just in Sweden where our local office has a vending machine.

No buttons on the machine, but a QR code. Leads to an app download. Installed. The menu is only visible after creating an account. Created account. Chose my snack. Asks for Swedish payment system. I don’t have that. Tiny option for credit card. Hope. But only Swedish cards accepted. Arghh.
I refuse to use them. There isn't just one reason, but off the top of my head:

- I don't like being tracked

- I don't have a smartphone

- I like to see the prices printed because that makes it much harder to present me with different pricing based on date, my phone or profile

- Dining out is one of the few places where I can get away from computers

- I'll tip as much (or as little) as I see fit

- Places that force you and/or your companions to bring out their phones tend to have those phones on the table (with all of the associated interruptions/cat video sharings/other distractions) for the rest of the meal

Usually I just ask for a paper menu, which quite a few places still have, and if they don't they might have a customer tablet lying around. And if it is forced then I just walk, there usually are plenty of restaurants.
I took omeprazole and similar derivatives for extended periods and while they annihilate symptoms, after a couple weeks of not taking them, symptoms always come back. Also it gives me itches in the long run which is part of the list of side effects. I probably have work to do around diet and need to consult a doctor, definitely (they are prescription medicine where I live and it's not always easy to get an appointment).

The basic operation of a GNSS with ~30m accuracy is literally explained on one slide in lecture 1.2, and from then on the rest of the course is about implementation specifics, and enhancing performance.

The basic concept at its core is so elegant and beautiful, but no less interesting are all the ways this system is augmented with different techniques to improve the accuracy down to ~1cm.

This is one of those resources I've downloaded and made sure to have backed up, because it's so invaluable to me.
Since the other comments are complaining about something or other, I just want to say that this looks great! I can imagine using this for something that needs more than jQuery and less than react.

Unfortunately this would probably not work for my purposes - the issue on my side is that I want to enable MinIO to use server-side encryption; however, MinIO doesn't support SSE unless TLS is enabled inside MinIO itself - so it's ultimately MinIO that needs these certificates, it doesn't help that the Linkerd proxy is actually encrypting the traffic if MinIO doesn't know about it.

There may be a way to tell MinIO to use the the proxy certificates though, since those may be somewhere in the pod FS if I understand the docs correctly, I can try to investigate that, thanks for the link!

Only if you use unsafe and even then three are restrictions. The general idea of rust is that it will only let you do things it can verify are safe otherwise it won't compile.
