Icons used to be meaningful and convey what they did. Now it's mostly shiny fancy crap, and they all look the same. I always find it difficult to find VSCode on macOS because a lot of apps use similar colors and patterns.

I tried customizing VSC's icon but it goes back to its ugly confusing default icon after each update.

The Sculpt Ergo keyboard is great, but that big, orange-sized mouse is the best I've ever used. I'll have to see if my employer will buy another before Amazon runs out of them.
It seems to me that such transactions are obvious examples of elder abuse, which is against the law and actionable.
When I was an undergrad, having newly read SICP, I start to write my own lisp in.... drumroll... matlab!!! I actually made quite a bit of progress before giving up.

Ah, to be young again!
Phones are in decent shape but other ARM devices aren't so lucky. A lot of Android tablets sitting at low-midrange and below have extremely weak CPUs for example, even those costing $200-$300 which was a bit of a shock for me. I have a ~$210 2022 Lenovo tablet that is outperformed handily by 2018 midrange Pixel 3XL, which seems a bit silly.
I have tangentially tried to do some business with the other side of this, as a maker of TRNGs. The audit requirements were impressive, although most machines now are quite a bit more advanced (at least outside of Nevada), and basically run a gaming computer with a hardware root of trust and an RNG dongle.

As a biochemist, I know this perfectly well. But the motivation behind your “this is terrifying” was left as an exercise to the reader, so there was no way of distinguishing it from “omg the chemicals”.
But is the staffing and standard of care different? Do the patients of investor owned hospices suffer with a higher incidence of bed sores? Do they suffer longer?
did you ever look inside those queries? were they the same, just repeated ad nauseam just polling in case their status had changed?
Humane treatment is not an oxymoron at all.

There are farms like this [0] which are certainly humane. And the farms suggested by Dr Temple Grandin also qualify as such, although I'm not aware of any farm actually implementing her methods.

The other thing I took out is "I get called a fool over beer about this" because nobody seems to find my confusion very compelling. I think my own interpretation of operator in the context of syntax as a single atom is provably false. The problem is, it's burnt into my personal mental lexer over textual representation of code.

99% of the time, I’m routing CMOS logic, i2c, SPI, maybe a CAN network here or there. I have maybe 10 projects where I worked with anything so critical that it required the most precise diff pair length matching. I think SRAM was the only that actually was affected by lackadaisically ran diff pairs.

Even then, KiCAD has successfully guided me to routing a number of signals that are capable of data transmission well into the megahertz range.
Accurate, and it does nothing to address the central issue, namely someone is making a fucking killing off of individuals at their most vulnerable.
> And nobody has a “right” to have the government provide them free access to any particular information in public libraries.

I might have a difference idea of democracy from you, but this feels a deep undemocratic way to go. Democracy dies in the darkness, free access to information is one of the cornerstones of democracy. All democracies have some sort of a public archive which distributes knowledge to the general public, most of the time for free. In the absence of such system you will at best have aristocracy.

So yes, if we want to live in a democracy—or at least how I understand democracy—everybody should have the “right” to have the government provide them with free access to any particular information. Particularly in the school system as a part of public and universal education (another important aspect of democracy).

Regarding the public transit analogy. Ideally in a democratic society where transportation equity is provided, the public should be entitled to provide input into the transportation system, but everybody living inside a reasonable density should be provided with some transit option (I live in a pretty rural place near Seattle but still I have two bus lines near my home which go to two ferry terminals, where there are four ferry lines, I consider my transportation needs “provided for” in the system). However in this ideal democracy, the input only goes to policy makers, who ultimately decide (or curate) frequency, routes, etc. based on both these inputs, but also experts in the field. If everybody is covered, and riders have some input, I would call that system democratic. What wouldn’t be democratic is if non-riding taxpayers would decide that people in certain area (say Vashon Island) shouldn’t get any buses. Or that buses should be banned in some areas (say between Woodenville and Bothell).
> talked her into changing her will

This would require an estate lawyer. The person needs to be of sound mind to change the will, and if the estate lawyer changed the will of an obviously impaired person, that should be actionable in court.

The idea that no bank should ever go under is absurd.
Craps is technically deterministic and there are tall tales about magicians being able to narrow the odds on a throw by throwing very precisely (a legal throw, not a slide), but I have yet to hear of a confirmed case here.

Roulette and blackjack are just easier games to beat.
Although card counting isn't illegal, it's also not tolerated, and if they casino thinks you are doing it you'll be asked to leave, or escorted out.
Not every machine is at the legal limit. Just like not every black jack table is at the best odds for casinos.
Guh I hate how this thing keeps popping back up. It's been rediscovered so many times.

It's nifty in that the Greeks used it as a calculator of sorts to compute the locations of the stars and planets for astrological purposes. Being an astrologer in those days was mostly mathematical computations, drawing the astrology charts by hand, and then very little delineation done after wards.

I've been learning koine Greek in an effort to read some of these documents out of simple fascination. IIRC, Archimedes or maybe was it Cierco talked about these devices.

I always wonder if the Greeks didn't have interference from the Romans, would they have discovered a way to use steam power beyond that if a simple toy?
Sodium fluoride is a by product of aluminium production and is poisonous in high dosage. That’s why people are so anti fluoride.

Calcium fluoride is naturally occurring and was what was discovered to be so good. Well the water it was first discovered was contaminated with sodium fluoride from aluminium but the water that promoted the research was calcium fluoride.

But while sodium fluoride is poisonous in high levels. You could drink super high levels of calcium fluoride and be totally fine.

So if you’re super worried about sodium fluoride (which you shouldn’t be in tooth paste since you should spit it out and anything you swallowed is harmless as the dosage is so low) then the alternative is to source tooth paste with calcium fluoride. Which is harder to get but it does exist.
Well, just like the giant oak that falls and gives nourishment to the forest saplings seeking to grow, so do senile old people give away their wealth to young hungry people in other countries seeking to sustain their internet scam businesses.

Just kidding. Although, maybe not totally. You wonder, when someone gets to some certain old age and is totally out of it, yet has tons of wealth tied up and doing no one any good, what is that money for except to be given to the next generation? I guess, some of it unwitting, hopefully more of it in a deliberate fashion to those it was intended for....

If granny can't even tell that $300k of her savings is gone, what's the problem then? Aside from her kids no longer being able to be the recipients of it.

God, I hope that I am able to realize that I'm reaching such a state and actively choose to give away my control of my assets to someone trustworthy, before I get scammed.
No credible scientific evidence exists that ingesting fluoride is beneficial.

Whenever you point this out, people respond with studies that focused on topical application. This topic is weird. Otherwise intelligent people shut down and begin quoting movies from the 1960’s, and are somehow incapable of distinguishing between a topical mouthwash and oral consumption.

Might as well drink sunscreen and talk about the reduction in lip skin cancer.

I've heard many people advancing this thesis (usually by exactly the people who would benefit from such regulation), but no cogent arguments for it. Why do you think modern large-scale statistics needs to be regulated?

The real pisser: the overwhelming majority of those "charities" are either fundamentalist religious organizations with deeply troubling agendas or thinly camouflaged tax shelters for the obscenely wealthy. Ain't that a kick in the head?
I'm not understanding how it works with electronic craps. But normally if the dice don't bounce off the back wall you have to rethrow. So sliding the dice requires a distraction to make sure the stickmam doesn't notice.

Would the cost of running the system be reduced if it were changed?

If not, the cost would need to be accommodated where the interest's been lost. I don't see a net cost reduction.

Perhaps there's a welfare effect, I don't know; living where cards, phones (QR code or NFC) or bank card (NFC) are all accepted and have been for several years, most passengers still opt for transport card but a non small amount prefer phone but that's my completely localised anecdote.

Would costs be increased through transaction or implementation fees for capital not yet depreciated? Implementation doesn't need to mean new hardware either, it includes tooling, software, but goes beyond to different workflows needing testing from fumbling for phones vs fumbling for cards to customer support - were the results from the trial run you mentioned published? Is there any compelling urgency?
I thought that the nursing home charged an outrageous amount for the care of my father. So I invested in nursing home stocks.
I lost a chunk of money, they turned out to be lousy investments.

If you work from home, are you a home user?
Lots of software is free, or cheaper, for home use. But if you work from home, does that make your home network a "business" network?

For desktop software which I use for work and personal things (like say Word) or what about infrastructure things like OpenDNS?

What about Comcast? Am I on a residential line or a commercial line?
The use case for this would be a cheap device that’s thin and light and has excellent battery life hooked up to a cloud machine that is very powerful.

Same way a library does. The information is made available to anyone who wants it, the copyrights are maintained intact, and they don’t attempt to profit from the material.

Copyright law specifically allows for libraries and archives to make copies of copyrighted material.

Without such laws, without libraries, knowledge could not be guaranteed to be shared freely among the public, resulting in ever growing knowledge and education gaps between those with means and those without.

Edit: Since you asked for the legal ground, here it is specifically:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/108

And here’s is further discussion by the copyright office itself:

https://www.copyright.gov/policy/section108/discussion-docum...

Congress and the copyright office have made it an important part of copyright law to protect archival, library and fair use doctrine.
FWIW, the first thing I do when I arrive at a hotel room is to put the Do Not Disturb sign on the door handle, where it stays for my entire trip.

I have zero desire to have anyone enter my room at any time, for any reason, while I am paying for it.

In some longer stays (4-7+ days), hotel management will actually require housekeeping to enter. Fine, OK, I get it. But I do not wish it.

I don't claim to know how common my preferences are, but it seems likely to me that most guests don't care a super lot about maid service, so it's a natural thing to dial down.
Huh? Rotten Tomatoes isn't a parody, it aggregates "critic" scores for movies.
The "up to" number is mostly a marketing term. It allows for cherry picking: Choose the most impressive gains at some obscure task. It doesn't say anything about the average performance increase. Only a well-known benchmark is interesting.
Actually there is support for using WASM as a container runtime. You could in theory have WASM containers and Linux containers next to each other on the same K8s cluster. Not sure that I’d recommend it in production just yet, but it’s certainly usable

I’ve noticed the same thing living in Taiwan. They don’t fluoride the water, and in general people have pretty bad teeth with caries and decay that I never see in Americans in their 20s and 30s. The highly sugary diet probably doesn’t help either.
This is a pretty silly blog post. The complaint comes down to "a Bayesian model will always place a lower probability on outcomes that have not been observed than outcomes which have been observed already" which... of course it would! In what situation where you're trying to understand an exchangeable set of outcomes would you think you should put more probability on things that you haven't seen than those you have? The only things I can dream up violate exchangeability (ie for instance, a finite bag of different color marbles, where you draw without replacement).

That wasn’t the point nor even an offhand comment in their post.

C++ is fine and has a lot of libraries built up — especially around image processing. It will be quite some time before Rust replaces C++. But if I had time to learn only one sugary C, it’d be Rust.
Huh, meanwhile, I recently wanted to grab ~200 pages from the archive where I put a 1-2 minute delay between the requests and had a bunch of repeated failures.
Promote WASM no matter what, that is the point.

Agree on the cloud prices, though there are use cases for very abrupt scaling.

Btw azure has a tco calculator so you can see what assumptions you have to make for the cloud to come out ahead.
A huge fraction of that charity is donations to the church one is a member of, much of which money goes to church salaries, property maintenance, etc. If we included country club dues and gym memberships in the German charity numbers, perhaps the "charitable giving" numbers would be closer.
Yeah, re-inventing application servers, badly.
In the absence of their ability to consent either way, it’s unclear how to give them what they want. How to, for instance, infer that they don’t want more cognitive power. Octopi have unusually high cognitive powers already—arguably that would suggest an implicit desire?

Unless they are defrauding these people, I don't see the issue in profits off of hospice. Hospice availability is a huge issue. The only thing worse than paying a lot for hospice is not getting hospice because there are no vacancies. If the profit incentive to run a nursing home or palliative care facility were eliminated, supply would fall through the floor creating a bigger issue than someone having the gall to earn money.

And supply would fall because no one is doing this sort of work out of the goodness of their own hearts, unless they are religious. And there are quite a few religious facilities out there but the numbers are dwindling.

I've been in game dev for decades, and I've never understood the desire for lua.

That's not totally true, it's easy to integrate and fast. But the language semantics and tooling leave a lot to be desired.

I'm hopeful we get an embedded version of another language. Something as easy to embed as lua, but without the lua. I'd much rather write JavaScript or Rust or anything else.
My guess through compromised boxes (or some apps) that act as proxies.
A nonblocking read which fails if the data isn't cached and it'd have to perform io would generally be easier to get correct.
None of the studies I have seen properly account for the lifetime effect, and instead only deduce lack of harm from flawed isolated studies.

It’s in the entire water supply.

You were gestated in a womb of a woman consuming highly fluoridated water.

You were fed formula made with fluoridated water tuned to dose a 200lb man when you were 8lbs.

The water you drank as your bones were growing was similarly overdosed

The food you eat is washed in fluoridated water. The coffee and beer you drink is brewed with fluoridated water. The bread you eat is made with fluoridated water.

Basically, the dose is insanely wrong from the get go and then it’s applied to everything so there’s no way to accurately measure exposure. Then factor in the bell distribution and you are massively overexposing huge numbers of people a few standard deviations out.
Maybe because people prefer earning money over interesting work?

My friend is convinced her autistic child was over exposed to aluminium or other metals...but maybe it was fluoride. These things need to be investigated.

We know that Lead exposure is widely known to cause harm to the brain, so other metals could have similar effects. Babies having a much smaller mass, would be much greater risk of ingesting toxic amounts or slow dose environmental exposure through things like aluminum cookware.

A substance might not be toxic on its own, but in combination with another substance in the environment could be highly toxic, but affect only some small percentage of people that come in in contact with both.

Like we know many prescribed drugs, can't be mixed with alcohol, because they become toxic if you do.

You're assuming regulations == good.
