Rural hospitals were always on a time limit, there isn't enough people sticking around for rural or small town to keep the business running. The same goes for any business there. Death of the town is exacerbated by the cities who offer greater salaries and sometimes better activities at the cost of some living space, which can be offset by enough salary.

We will see whether or not the lure of cities stay true over the next decade or two, but nothing is here to save anything small from their death.

I disagree. Lost momentum is lost. Blowing up your life means you start from a low state, and have to start all over again.

It absolutely can be positive. But it is not at all guaranteed.

Sometime it all works out. And, sometimes, you throw away what seems to be “bad” in the moment, and find yourself much worse off with your new choice.
One thing I didn’t expect was that for a large data table that allowed side scrolling, Windows users comfortable with Excel didn’t know that they could scroll side to side because the scroll bar fell below the fold. I ended up needing to measure the page to set the height of the table to make sure that the table wouldn’t be taller than the page. But what I really wanted was to sticky the scroll bar so that it was always visible, or to display it at the top of the table instead of the bottom.

I want to style scroll bars for this, not to make them prettier.

I read old Sjors & Sjimmie comics from my dad when I was a kid in the 90s. It's a classic "two boys have adventures" type of comic. Here's how the old comics looked: https://images.poms.omroep.nl/image/s750/784486.jpg

Sjimmie (the black kid) also spoke in broken Dutch, and was generally the stupid one.

Even as a 10 year old I recognized it was pretty racist, because I grew up in an environment where this sort of thing is frowned upon.

In the end you can only know about racism if you actually know what it looks like, up close, and without filter. When is too young "too young" for this? I don't know, but I think you're giving children too little credit; they're not entirely stupid. People in the past didn't become racist because of a few books or comics, they became racist due to the general culture at the time, and stuff like this is more a consequence of that than a cause.

(The comic was revamped in the 70s to not be racist by the way, and these new comics were very popular in the 80s and 90s, but the originals were never revised or updated: they just made new, better, non-racist ones.)
They are following the science where it's going. The guideline will change when new science arise. But still we have ways to go in popularization of science.
I'm with GP on reliability though - I'd rather have a can of a known bitter than a local 'IPA' on tap that I don't know (and the other side of the bar doesn't care, or share a common language to decide) if is a 'proper' IPA, or one of these very pale, extremely fizzy things that seem to be in vogue and call themselves IPAs, when to me they're closer to a lager and almost any (non IPA-style) bitter would've been closer to what I expected. Sometimes I can tell from the label it will (or I fear it will, so don't try and can't say for sure) be like that, but certainly not always, and that's not always practical.

I'm not sure why you felt the need to link that. I'm aware of it as well as that GPT-4 isn't on the list and that the top is a LLaMA tuned model. But I'm not going to get into the rabbit hole of the difficulties of evaluation. Especially when arena exists due to this difficulty and even writes about such. We're going to just have to agree to disagree I guess because I'm not going to agree that there's a definitive singular metric that determines "best." The intrinsic flaws I'm discussing are well known in the research community and not something we really debate about. That only seems to happen when discussing in more public settings.

From the article:

"Replacing free sugars with NSS does not help with weight control in the long term. People need to consider other ways to reduce free sugars intake, such as consuming food with naturally occurring sugars, like fruit, or unsweetened food and beverages,” says Francesco Branca, WHO Director for Nutrition and Food Safety.

"NSS are not essential dietary factors and have no nutritional value. People should reduce the sweetness of the diet altogether, starting early in life, to improve their health."

If I read that correctly, the WHO is recommending that the overall amount of sweet foods consumed should be reduced and that replacing sugar with other sweeteners will not cut it.
If it’s true that a fair portion of those who search Google specify “reddit.com” at least sometimes, as seems likely, I’m comfortable that users looking for “elucidation and discovery” are at least somewhat relevant to Reddit or those who wish to compete with Reddit.

It's already federal law when it comes to the minimum wage. People like to bandy about the fact that tipped employees have a minimum wage of $2.13/hr without also mentioning that the employer is legally required to make up the difference to meet the $7.25/hr minimum if tips fall short of that amount.

Of course, not all employees know this, and some employers take advantage of that fact. But that's an enforcement issue, not an issue of a lack of legislation.

Before ChatGPT, I was not good enough at some things to earn certification in them. Cisco and Adobe Creative Cloud come to mind.

Now when I run into a certification objective that baffles me, I ask ChatGPT. It gives me (typically) a full-page that explains what I need to know (theory) and where to click in the program (practice) to make it work. In the full-page, there is usually 1 omitted partial-step. It might say "click on X" without saying that X is under the Y sub-menu.

Keep in mind that before ChatGPT, I would have been totally lost on what that objective even meant.

ChatGPT has helped me earn 3 Adobe CC certifications this year, and will soon help me earn a 4th.

Then I might go back and take another crack at Cisco certification.

Well it obviously mattered enough for the Founding Fathers of the US to enshrine freedom of speech in the Bill of Rights, and in the last 200-ish years it also mattered enough for US courts not to overturn or politicians of various parties to change it.

Now where I'm from (Germany), not just "hate speech" is against the law, but it's also unlawful to insult another person. It's complicated, but for the latter it's mostly sufficient that they feel insulted by what you said to them personally.

Now while I don't go around insulting people in person or on the Internet, I personally think - for instance - that it should be allowed to call a person an asshole, if they behave like an asshole. Yet, if I did that here, or even online to another German person, they could go to the police and press charges. If the public prosecutor is sufficiently bored, this very low barrier could also be used to dox me in an otherwise reasonably anonymous setting, since the resulting lawsuit could result in my data getting subpoenaed from, say, Twitter and my ISP. This has happened to other people here in the past.

Now while I'm neither in favor of either hate speech nor randomly and viciously insulting people online, I consider the law in Germany as outlined unreasonable in an online setting. I think freedom of speech is more important fundamentally than another person's right to not feel hurt, or for some powers that be to silence or punish me because I said something inconvenient that they merely claim to meet some of the criteria for speech that is restricted here.

Mind you, this is the case all the while freedom of speech is enshrined in the German constitution as well. But I think it is a pretty good example of why I think freedom of speech should not be curtailed just in the name of another person's feelings about said speech. Even if a person, as you do, doesn't see a direct and tangible benefit in allowing that kind of speech, I would argue that a larger fraction of people are against disallowing it, because of the indirect consequences and where that line of lawmaking leads.

Another thing to consider is this: Say you're modestly happy with the current government wherever you live, and you'd be happy for them to have an "easy" way to curtail freedom of speech. Would you also be happy for the opposing political side to do the same thing? What if some extremists came to power?

This kind of reasoning is why free speech absolutists are so staunchly defending freedom of speech, even if it may be inconvenient or insulting to themselves or others.
It's entirely that.
It's true, moderator abuse has long been a big problem on many subreddits.
The blackout is as much about a small number of users using third party clients for personal tastes as the American civil war was about states rights. The real issue, as can be read in the long PSAs pinned to some of the restricted but public subreddits, is the impact on moderation and accessibility that forbidding third party apps will incur. If moderators can't do their job, Reddit is worthless. Calling them tyrants is... a peculiar way to frame it
That's fine but two factors stand out: how secure is my employment opportunity and what is the wage compared to the cost of living? In both cases the rural option is worse than in cities and it also comes with the drawback of being far away from humanity.
The standard model has a number of free parameters [1] but the results of calculations are pretty sensitive to them, and this is what predicted (not just explained post-hoc) the Higgs. It's not incorrect to say there's curve fitting involved, but it severely understates the magnitude of the achievement that is the standard model, and its success in explaining everything that underpins everyday life[2], as well as most things beyond that regime[3]

> Will Reddit buckle under pressure and go back on the API changes?

If they do, it won't be for several months and only if there's a drop in traffic that looks to be permanent. The protest itself won't change anything.

A change in the API certainly makes sense (OpenAI showed the value of the reddit's comment data, and I think spez is pissed that OpenAI is not only profitable, in a large part due to the availability of reddit's comment data, but because OpenAI is run by another reddit co-founder). And maybe that's the plan all along...

There's an idea that users will hate any change you preset. If you give users minimal-change, they'll hate it and revolt. If you give users drastic-change, they'll hate it and revolt. So give them drastic-change, weather the revolt, then walk back to moderate-change and by-in-large they'll accept it.
Companies don't want to employ people, they want to make money. Read about the antebellum american south and you will find answers to the questions you have posed. Race was invented for the purpose of companies obtaining free labor, and is a true capitalist "innovation". Modern naratives about for profit organizations are far too charitable. If companies were human they would all be psychopaths.
A lot of rural hospitals (and indeed many healthcare providers) are really poorly managed as businesses. This has been exacerbated by the labor shortage in healthcare, which is one of the industries that immigration alone can save at this point. (Hi Flint: https://withflint.com/)

Scarce talent is being recruited away by higher paying providers in urban centers, which is why you see occasional headlines about the skyrocketing pay of travel nurses. COVID made this more acute, and while that crisis has faded, the secular trends have not gone away, notably America's demographic aging.

A sub-issue is that even when the hospital stays open, you often get poor care. My family has been on the receiving end of that, with my aunt dying prematurely because her cancer was missed by a subpar rural GP.
There are plenty of use cases of SQLite being used in production servers, usually for cache locality of small datasets (think more complex read-focused Redis use cases) or for direct data operations (transforms, for instance).

That being said; even if it weren't usable in a web service space, does that make it any less reasonable of a database? That whole mentality sounds like a web developer centric one. Berkeley DB was used for decades for application and system databases, a field that SQLite largely replaced it in. And one that MySQL, Postgres, Oracle, etc are generally completely unsuited for. It's the same reason Microsoft offered MS Access for so long alongside MSSQL, until MSSQL had it's own decent embeddable option to deprecate it.
Germany as of late doesn't do much better; see what happened to Berlin Brandenburg Airport, which was a decade and 4 billion euros over budget.
Android isn't desktop.
I do not think there is a clear answer to this. I can understand some people taking the position that a poorly written, hard to understand patent does not deserve to survive, especially if if the people who wrote it are trying to be clever by having it mean what they say it means if it gets litigated.

OTOH it can also be argued that trolls posing as public interest groups are operating in bad faith and the fact a patent is hard to understand has been par for the course for so long, that making patent holders review their patents for clearly defensible language is unfair.
> Also in terms of accessibility, so long as they're doing CSS-only changes, and the bar is sized compliant and has proper focus states, assistive technology won't care.

Eh, it depends on your audience. My father has very poor eyesight. He doesn't use any assistive tools (e.g. screen readers or magnifiers), but he does need his computer-reading glasses. Accessibility isn't just ADA compliance and/or screen reader support.
For me personally, it is not some "nature vs dirty streets" argument at all. When I read the writings of the mentioned, it's not all "ag is beautiful." They had specific experience with how power became centralized in European cities which led to governance and societies which were short term/locally optimized to the detriment of all.

> Time will tell. The iPad can do development. Apple has proven it with Swift Playgrounds. But they still haven’t given us Xcode. So who knows.

Apple announced just before WWDC the iPadOS versions of Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro, their professional media creation tools. We've all seen shows and listed to music (and podcasts) created with these tools. While most of the core functionality is the same between the Mac and iPadOS versions, the iPad versions take advantage of multitouch and other iPadOS features, as they should.

> Plus knowing Apple it seems likely they’d want to make Xcode work better for the interface than just plopping the Mac app in.

Yes; that's how Apple does things.

As I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, iPad users can already use Swift Playgrounds to code and submit an app to the App Store [1].

It's just a matter of time before there will be a version of Xcode for the iPad.
