It pisses me off that psychiatrists and neurologists have no clue about the fact that the disease itself (MS) may cause such symptoms in itself, plus, the fact that your quality of life is worse due to the illness.

> It’s a disease that affects all the brain, including white and gray matters. The neurological lesions begin in early stages and affect all aspects of CNS functioning. MS symptoms include muscle weakness, visual acuity loss, sphincter incontinence, fatigue, anxiety, depression and cognitive deficits.[1]

[1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6933139/

I just had a conversation with my psychiatrist and because the medications do not work for me, she thinks it is not organic. This one last time she also prescribed one of the worst antidepressants (it causes liver damage more so than the others, and taking any medications (such as the medication I take for MS) that harm the liver are a contraindication).

I am not sure why it is not acknowledged, but the disease causes not only physical and neurological problems, but neuropsychiatric as well! I hope you have a different experience with doctors from around there.
Wish I had heard about these before getting my GPD Win2. Looks much closer to what I wanted but didn't know was still an option.
What apps do you think do UI well that you would hold up as a counterpoint here? Just curious
Absolutely, but 5 survival rates are still a really bad metric because they make things look better even for uncurable cancer (or cancer that was curable but treatment was given up on because of price). Also, if a 90 year old gets a slow growing cancer that doesn't require treatment (cause they'll be dead before it's a problem), screening for it will increase survival rates even though you didn't actually treat anything.
> Advocates of evidence based medicine have criticised the adoption of interventions evaluated by using only observational data. We think that everyone might benefit if the most radical protagonists of evidence based medicine organised and participated in a double blind, randomised, placebo controlled, crossover trial of the parachute

“Oh yeah, tough guy? Jump out of this airplane.”
I think the paper is a satire on "evidence-based medicine" - a framework which insists upon randomized controlled trials as the primary basis for medical decisions.

Notably this is exactly such a trial, while also absolutely irrelevant to the question of needing a parachute or not (the trial planes were all on the ground at the time of the jumps).
Had a boss that did this, but always picked the overconfident, unreliable, under-bidder. He was incapable of bidding anything in increments of days/weeks. Everything was "an hour" to "an afternoon".

So I'd say "2 weeks to complete end to end".

The other guy would say "I'll crank it out this afternoon".
Other guy would deliver code that wouldn't run, and then require 3 weeks from me, QA, and him to actually massage into something that works the right way.

So instead of 2 person-weeks, it would take like ~5-6 person-weeks all in. Great stuff.
So what do you propose?

Because what you wrote sounds a lot like ‘it’s unsolvable’, which is clearly not true either.

Gastric restriction is an extreme solution, and rarely that effective long term.

Pharmacological is often fraught with serious side effects and also has poor long term efficacy.

In my experience it’s usually psychiatric and environmental, which is why it’s hard to tackle, and nearly impossible without patient willingness to change - and that’s always hard.

Even if willing to change, being able to change is often very difficult too as it’s rarely one factor.

If one is ready to switch languages, then the clear winner is rust over C++, and I say that as someone who avoided diving into Rust for years because it seemed completely overhyped and with too much cryptic syntax.

C still wins by far when writing libraries that will be used by lots of other people. Doesn't matter what language they are using, they will be able to add in a library written in C very easily. However, C++ or Rust libraries, even with appropriate bindings for the target language, users of the library will need to bring in an entirely new compiler tool chain that may or may not exist on the target architecture. But the C tool chain will exist for that architecture and be robust.
a shock wave is propelled outward by the explosion itself; a shock wave is part of the explosion, the actual gases produced by the explosion being pushed outward. a shock wave moves faster than sound and is usually fatal if you are struck by one.

pulse waves move at the speed of sound and are not propelled by the explosion. an air compressor tank rupturing would produce a pulse wave. pulse waves alone are not fatal to humans, though you definitely feel them and hear them.

Reminding me of Woody Allen's "Radio Days".
Without a pretty good understanding of what a project or activity has to deliver cannot provide a good estimate, regardless of time spent.

Also, if you don't know WHO will build it, and their capabilities, any accuracy is impossible. When people approach the limit of their abilities, time spent on tasks goes up exponentially.

However, if someone has a very good understanding of what they're supposed to build, the team that will build it, reasonble estimates can often be produced quite quickly. Obviously, there can be risk factors, such as customers or managers with unreasonable expectations, but those can typically be managed by experienced teams.

Anyway, raw estimates should never be seen as budgets. Budgets should be much larger, especially if they can be kept hidden from the developers, since budgets need to take all sorts of risks into account. But most team if they know what the budget is (and it's big enough), may tend to relax a bit too much early on in a project.

Most software projects go a bit (or sometimes quite a lot) over estimates. Which is often fine. The estimate may still have been a useful exercise, in that it forced someone to think about most details of the deliverable early on, and also provided something to track progress against.
On the contrary, Reddit is one of the most useful sites out there. With Google search nearing total uselessness for local information, using "site:reddit.com" is almost obligatory.

None of the real value of Reddit is coming from the parts of it that resemble Twitter or 4Chan.

> "No one has ever said an unkind word to her."

Leave no opening for others to be mean towards you. One of those is going about life not trying to push/get things out of people -- but to share in the "good vibes."

Genuine happiness, without an under-current of consciousnesses of the possible utility, has very little detractors -- like a child that is unabashedly excited about a Christmas present. Throughout time, people usually realize they can temporarily generate and express feelings, that can influence others and be used for self-interest (no matter how small. E.g. forcing yourself to be happy about a present you received). In turn, they lose authenticity for utility -- and I believe people can sense that on an intuitive level, and put up their guard.

Human interaction is all push and pull. Don't be another force trying to push on people, and they will get along with you.
> Our examples show large JPEGs being loaded in MicroPython no problem. For example this one from our examples is 100kB:

A 100kB JPEG is hardly a "large" JPEG in 2023. From the linked sales page (https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/inky-frame-5-7?variant=40...) the first line of the description states:

"A large Pico W powered E Ink® photo frame ..."

From this, many are going to assume that they can simply load JPEG photo files from their cell phone and/or camera directly onto the device. JPEG photos from my cell phone range anywhere from 1Meg to 7-8Meg depending upon the scene being photographed. All of those photos begin at a compressed size substantially larger than 256Kbyte. This is the size JPEG that someone is going to think that a "photo frame" can process and display.

Additionally, the pixel resolution of the e-ink is stated as "600 x 448 pixels" (same sales page). Again due to the "photo frame" advertising, even if someone took their JPEG photos and scaled them down to 600x448, they would not likely also quantize to 7 colors at the same time (unless your docs give them very clear instructions to do so somewhere). So they would end up with a RGB 600x448 image, and 600 * 448 * 3 is 806,400 bytes just to hold the uncompressed bitmap from a JPEG of that pixel resolution and 3 bytes per pixel. That size is a bit over three times the amount of RAM quoted for the PI (256kB).

At least part of that effect will show up in these vehicles being rear-ended themselves (as they're exhibiting that exact sudden-stop behavior), and that sort of accident should be reduced if all cars come with AEB.

You'll never be able to wipe out all variables in this sort of study, but I don't think the methodology's as flawed as you're asserting.

What, did you prefer the site in the days of the Chimpire? Jailbait? Reddit's history has been the perfect case-study in the downsides of a libertarian approach to moderation. They've come to where they are now because every other approach resulted in horrifying racism, sexual exploitation, disinformation, and abuse.

I had a Psion 5, an amazing device. It had the same apps as the 3, if I remember correctly. The keyboard was astoundingly good. The keys, if larger, would make an excellent normal keyboard.

What I really loved about the 5 was that it could run Java. I think it never got past JDK 1.0.2, or maybe 1.1. But it was clunky to use. I wrote a little shell for it, which provided basic functionality, including much simpler compiling and execution of java code. (http://geophile.com/jshell. It should still run, except that it relies on an obsolete parser.)

While I was still naively waiting for it to come, I held on to my Gemini PDA for so long, even after its battery had bulged to the point that the back panel covering it had dislodged. After all the troubles it had caused me, I decided to give it up and get a normal smartphone instead. Life has been much better since then.

Buying more expensive is far from a guarantee that you'll get quality. You have to be willing to spend more, but you also need to research the market, listen to tips from everywhere, be willing to experiment, and sometimes have dumb luck. Finding quality eats time and is not always doable.

And sometimes better is also cheaper. You might be able to buy last year's top model in a clearance, or get second hand stuff that stood the test of time and is nearly indestructable.

Since launch "new reddit" has been broken to the point where the page crashes if you copy and paste text in the comment textarea. You need a hard reload of the page to restore it, and then you lose your comment.

It's been what, 5 years now? I think it's safe to assume that nobody working on reddit's UX actually uses new reddit, and also most likely nobody else either.

The ability to edit text isn't a weird niche feature for powerusers. It's fairly central to using the service. Anyone who does more than passively scroll down the front page will run into this.

It's not because the issue hasn't been reported either. https://www.reddit.com/r/bugs/search/?q=paste&restrict_sr=1

The SerenityOS guy will soon have built a fully functional web browser rendering engine in less time it's taken Reddit to restore the default functionality of a textarea tag. It's unbelievable.
There is no such thing as 'failure to autovectorize' in CUDA or OpenCL. All code is vectorized in these languages. SIMD is fundamental to the language model.

Dylan was a great language - I played with OpenDylan a bit. Scheme with CLOS and gradual typing, and a formal specification, and a stdlib, and tools for modularizing and AOT compiling and linking multi-module projects, hygienic (syntax-case-style) macros, and so on, all in ca. '95! It was a bit too late and Java took over the world before Dylan had its chance... Imagine the world, full of sunshine and rainbows, if Dylan prevailed - instead of the dreary, stifling, primitive language we all know and love (to hate).

Racket is doing nothing similar to Dylan. Dylan was a well defined language for programming in the large and targeted at enterprises. Racket is a laboratory and a workbench for creating languages. It accomplishes this by implementing incredibly powerful macro and module systems. Other notable features of Racket are delimited continuations, contracts, and the Typed Racket dialect. It is targeted at researchers and beginners and has nothing to do with the enterprise. :)
