Because prices are more or less regulated and controlled.

e.g. the Swiss healthcare system is privatized to a much higher degree than the US one (no Medicare/Medicaid equivalents) but 'basic' insurance plan prices and deductibles are fixed so prices still remain reasonable.
Yeah, I can't use a regular keyboard for programming for very long anymore because symbols like {} just put too much strain on my right pinky. I use a kinesis advantage 2 and I've set those all up on the keypad layer on non-pinky keys and made the Delete key in the thumb cluster act as keypad shift. Works really well.

I also put a JIS keyboard in my laptop and use one of the extra keys near space combined with the Linux program keyd to get effectively the same thing. Not quite as good but better than nothing.
Replying to this more as a note to come back and read later, but it's been increasingly clear to me of late that the gold badges, awards, participation ribbons and similar don't really work for me, they poorly mimic the real feeling of solving a problem and fixing something. It's superficial. There's something irreplaceable about that that these things just miss entirely. The game is the puzzle you need to solve, it's an issue if treating things like a game rather than work, I guess. Once the puzzle is solved those awards feel like waste and don't matter. I guess that's why I find teaching myself how to code, as poor as I am at it, so addicting. You're constantly puzzle solving and addressing bugs. I don't need acknowledgement for it, they're often personal projects. I find that a lot of people need that sense of acknowledgement, though.
Under the “consciousness is the inflection upon the substrate of existential being” argument, feelings are analog signals with “chemical smoothing.”

Firstly this proposition asserts that consciousness underlies our biochemical machinery (it does not arise from it.)

Consciousness would then be the quantum sieve acting as a scoped “singularity” (of which there are simultaneously many), a part of the feedback loop of biotechnology. The biotechnology produces the electrochemical “feeling” which is encoded/decoded as signal in the quantum sieve.

In this way, consciousness would be the carrier platform for feelings.
Many years ago, I received a mild sedative while undergoing an endoscopy via my throat. Apparently, that's not a pleasant experience. I say apparently because I have no memory of it other than asking the nurse when they were going to start ... after the procedure was completed. I remember getting injected with the stuff and I remember me asking that question because I was getting bored just lying there. I don't remember losing consciousness, being asleep, or waking up, or anything like that. It's just a gap in my memory while they did their thing. Amazing stuff. I'm assuming I was conscious and responsive throughout.

I had proper surgery a few days later which involved being knocked out for two hours or so. That's a whole different situation. You start counting down and you are gone within a few seconds.
There is a torrent with a large compressed dataset with reddit's text, I remember it was ~2TB. I can't find the url right now because it was discussed in a reddit thread.
Anecdotally, I've used it on and off for about 10 years now and personally notice a strong correlation with impulse control. I have an OCD diagnosis and the only two things that have worked to manage symptoms are consistent journaling, exercise, yoga, meditation and therapy (all together), and 5-HTP.
For regular forums, you need the IP address for helping to protect against SPAM and making sure banned users stay banned. Analytics can help see if you're having issues with the server, or if someone is putting unnecessary load (client-side analytics staying flat, but server-side rapidly increasing, or similar).
Which I think is the point of person you're responding to. His comment has someone get out of one's ten year silence. Pretty flattering indeed.

Ironically, I would not have understood that if not for your comment.
The brain adapts to new regimes; that's probably part of the anti-depressive effect of SSRIs, not the acute effects. For that reason, I agree that a study of connectivity over the longer-term would be more convincing.
"I find IRC incredible frustrating exactly because I can't easily see the history and continue conversations. I usually connect to IRC channels through a browser client or a desktop app, but all too often, my browser would lose the connection or my computer would go to sleep, disconnecting me from the server."

This far been a solved problem for 30 years. You just run an IRC bouncer on a host that's always up (like on a VPS) and have your IRC client connect to that. The bouncer will keep scrollback and logs for you.

Of course if you use Discord you don't need to bother to do any of that, so the convenience it offers is real, but it's not like if you're an IRC user you can't have persistent history.

On the other hand, with IRC you only log the channels you're in (unless you run your own IRC server), so you will miss out on history from other channels.
One of the most amazing triumphs/failures of capitalism, is the ability to fend off competitors with even a mildly long payback period for decades.

It boggles my mind that modern democracies like Germany or the UK could have ignored heat pumps for so long.
Writing as Strategy
I wouldn't want a USB-based Picoprobe debugger or logic analyzer to depend on (or even use?) wireless connectivity. And for a low-latency game controller adapter which translates between wired NES/SNES, N64/GC, and/or USB protocols, converting a regular controller to a Bluetooth controller is quite an invasive change which requires adding batteries to the device, and increases input latency/unreliability when you're using a wireless connection, so many adapters don't bother with networking.

In terms of whether WiFi or Bluetooth is a wise idea (as opposed to being cool or useful), I find that wireless/networked protocols are easier to get wrong than simpler configuration. I have a video scaler (GBS-Control) which exposes a network-based interface over the ESP8266's Wi-Fi adapter. The IP address it picks up in my LAN is random, and though you can visit gbscontrol.local to resolve the URL using mDNS, this is unsupported on older versions of Android. And in certain video modes, the video circuitry interferes with the wireless signal, causing network requests to stall indefinitely.

In my observation, networking is especially prone to race conditions. If I toggle my power strip and power on both the ESP8266 and my router at the same time, the ESP8266 boots before the router, fails to connect to the router (remembered by PersWiFiManager), and decides to expose its own access point and never reconnect to the existing router afterwards. Worst of all, the web server used runs networking code in the yield() callback, leading it to handle network requests in the middle of I2C communication call stacks and possibly overflow the stack. It's also known to corrupt heap memory when concurrent HTTP requests occur (https://github.com/me-no-dev/ESPAsyncWebServer/issues/324 was closed by a bot without a solution). I found an concurrency footgun where the server allows HTTP callbacks to ask the server to reply with a SPIFFS file handle, but you can reopen and write to the file in subsequent code after the HTTP callback finishes, but before the server finishes streaming data from the file handle. This results in corrupted data being sent to the HTTP client.

I also heard that the Pinecil V2 released with a Bluetooth Low Energy compatible microcontroller, but the wireless-enabled firmware apparently malfunctions on certain irons and causes them to fail to boot (https://github.com/Ralim/IronOS/issues/1661), though this may be fixed over time.
I'm amazed of this release because, does Nintendo even sell gameboy consoles right now?

So are they targeting retro-clone handheld owners or what?

What would you say is the best retro-clone handheld console to play Gameboy games?
Where has it been known? They told the Apollo dev in Jan/Feb of this year that there were going to be no big API changes this year.
> Private insurance can be used as well, giving preferred access and treatment.

Well, actually, the contracts doctors have with the public insurance carriers forbid giving preferred access. So handing out earlier appointments to privately insured people is verboten. But no doctor obeys this, and punishment is practically nonexistent.

Differences in offered treatments are allowed, the catalogue that private insurance pays for is usually larger.
It would be great if the US also considered internet to be a mere conduit and went after those messing with it. The we wouldn't need to break backwards compat for entirely static public content and waster energy in forcing everything under TLS.
I know it's only semantics, but it kind of bugs me how the saying "level up your [regular life skills]" has become so prevalent the past few years.

Mainly because it give this illusion that once you've "leveled up" in something, you'll stay at that level forever - like in video games. But the truth is that all skills need to be honed and maintained, or else they will falter. Anyone that's been active in sports, music, art, etc. know that maintenance is the key, and that even then, you will not stay at the same level forever.

Gamification can be good for people that need structure, clear goals, and measurable progression. But it can also lead to sacrificing understanding for the sake of speed and execution - if that makes any sense? And also false expectations of what it takes to become the very best at something.

The leetcode/technical interview "grinding" culture is full of this.
It really depends what's in the terms the user agreed to.
> it's interesting how many of the comments in the Moderator Coordination subreddit are from people who hate mods have have newish accounts.

Well, duh.

Would you complain about a mod with your main account? A contributing factor is that people with newish accounts have newish accounts because a powertripping mod banned their oldish account.

All-in-all, having newish accounts complain about mods makes their complaints more legitimate, not less.
If you are really worried just throw the batteries in a bucket of sand.
> No forewarning

This is announcing the shutdown of their previous offering 5 months in advance. I'd call that a forewarning.

In the end value of person is in what they do. If you can't constantly ship anything, you have a problem you need to solve. Painful, but you shouldn't sugarcoat it.
Also, a court struck down this approach to locking a console from playing third party games anyway.

That's why all modern consoles use digital signatures.
> the proposed pricing monetizes the users much higher than Reddit can general monetize them today

That's the whole point ! All users of Apollo bring in precisely $0 / month. And reddit will never ever be able to monetise them at all unless they start charging for the API. That's the core of the issue; with no many free riders, the average revenue / user is doomed to stay close to 0.

The question is not "how much revenue / user does reddit make on average" since all Apollo users are dragging the average close to 0 no matter what Reddit does. The question is "how much revenue / user does reddit make on average excluding bots and non ad-watching user". The number then skyrockets and $2.50 / month seems like the answer.
frankly, yes? the reddit admins didn't care about anything, really, and very rarely went on banning sprees. when they did it was just deleting subreddits that were regularly posting about wanting to kill people. and in those cases it didn't require thousands of other random people who just happened to be using an instance but weren't part of that stuff to create a new account on a different website, it just got rid of that one community.

the real problem isnt always your local bofh, it's the other bofhs, and it's the fact that your friend's local bofh who has a tiny fiefdom of a few thousand users can unilaterally cut off access between those users and the few thousand people on your instance.

i'm not going to go so far as to say "centralization is good", but in a centralized system, a personality clash between a couple internet janitors might lead to a new subforum being made that a few users might choose to go to. in a decentralized system, a personality clash between internet janitors leads to platform-wide technological incompatibilities for thousands of users who have nothing to do with it.
The introduction of the new 'function-calling' feature by OpenAI marks a significant advancement , enabling a seamless integration of external APIs within AI-powered conversations. The use-case presented in this article, which leverages NASA's API to fetch and summarize celestial events data, is just a glimpse into the emerging possibilities this feature opens up.
With CapsLock? Yeah.

Though, with using fancy keyboard-remapping software, then "dashes as underscores" can be done automatically. e.g. QMK does it with: https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_caps_word
I read The Road like 10-15 years ago. It was the first or one of the first books I fully read in English (I'm not a native English speaker). The simplicity of the grammar and lexicon helped me to follow the story, and although the crude environment that happens in the book is daunting and somber, I loved the book.

From that time, when I see some news piece about Cormac McCarthy I cannot thank him enough for doing a masterpiece accesible to ESL speakers.

RIP.
> Basically there is this innate idea that if the basic building blocks are simple systems with deterministic behavior, then the greater system can never be more than that. I've seen this is spades within the AI community

I'm very surprised by this, because in essence, it's a flat-out denial of the emergence concept, no different from denying that atoms can ultimately lead to biological entities.

It appears to me that this solution is only designed for macOS. Anyone knows any cross-platform solution? It would be very interesting to see how the same keybindings are implemented in Windows/Ubuntu/macOS.
I've been using Elixir for the past 5-6 years for my startup. We use pg_notify extensively to broadcast changes between running nodes (basically, use Phoenix.PubSub locally in our apps, with a GenServer to subscribe+re-broadcast using pg_notify).

This has been a really elegant and low-complexity way to get distributed pubsub without the complexity of running a distributed erlang cluster (which seems a lil bit painful in a K8S+Continuous Deploy world)

There -are- some big downsides to be aware of though.

1. You can't use PgBouncer w/ LISTEN/NOTIFY. This has been really painful because of the high memory overhead of a pgsql connection + elixir keeping a pool of open pgsql connections. The tried and true method of scaling here is to just use PgBouncer. We've kicked the can on this by vastly over-provisioning our pg instance, but this has cost $10s of thousands on the cloud. Of course, it's solvable (dedicated non-pgbouncer connection pool just for LISTEN/NOTIFY, for example), but painful to unwind.

2. The payload has a fixed size limit (8KB, IIRC). This has bitten us a few times!

Even though I really like pg_notify, I think that if I were starting over, I'd probably just use Redis Pub/Sub to accomplish the same thing. Tad bit more complex if you're not already running Redis, but without the downsides. (Of course, w/ Redis, you don't get the elegance of firing a notification via a pg trigger)

Thanks for the elaboration that certainly adds useful context.
While I personally am aware of DMARC and haven't been hit by this, I've heard from friends that small businesses aren't able to contact them on their gmail-address anymore due to them (the businesses) not having setup neither SPF nor DKIM. I fully agree that this shouldn't be the case anymore in this day and age, yet here we are.

The "random"-bit is directly mentioned in Google's support article and I can't figure out what it means. Either they enforce it for a sender's domain or they don't. My best guess is that they randomly decide when to start enforcing it for new or (probably more likely at this point) previously known individual domains.
Physical exercise for me is primarily a way to make my body produce drugs, to be in a better mood and sleep better. All the other benefits are icing on the cake.
> They are, but they are not data centers in the traditional sense of the term.

They are, 100%, without a doubt, absolutely, data centers in the traditional sense of the term.

> ...the «10x markup» is complete bonkers and is a fiction.

Go compare prices of e.g. Hetzner or OVA and come back to me again with that "fiction".

> 100 million monthly events

That's only about 35 events per second. Hosting over at Hetzner will cost you maybe $25 a month. So yeah, the x10 markup is real.
The Swiss fully private system seems reasonable, Netherlands also to a degree. They are pretty efficient. Private but heavily regulated seems like a good balance.
Many years ago, X-Plane version 8 or 9 included Mars scenery. This would make for a nice upgrade of that. The scenery was a bit lacking in detail and the atmosphere and gravity were of course adjusted. Pretty hard to fly there because the atmosphere is very thin.

So, basically, you need some kind of rocket plane that flies at insane speeds. Makes for interesting take offs and landings.
I don't know anything about type systems in programming, but "Set Theoretical Type System" sounds wild from a historical perspective. Set theory was synonymous with being "type free". So in type theory you would have a hierarchy of types (e.g. distinguishing properties of things, like being red, from properties of properties of things, like being a color) while in set theory you can throw things and sets into a set without much restriction.

E.g. you could have a set which contains both colors and Joe Biden, while you couldn't have a property that both colors and Biden have, since Biden is an object but colors are properties of objects, i.e. they have different types.
They got bought out by a PE firm that's gobbling up registrars, DNS providers and similar. Mostly a moneygrab, so expect prices to increase and product/tech to deteriorate.

I love capitalism in general, but PE firms are mostly a net-negative. They try to squeeze profit out of a company while owning it for 3-5 years, and then selling it at a higher multiple. They usually do this by cutting R&D, jacking up prices and cutting costs (for example moving HQ to some remote area, losing half of staff in the process, but hey, costs are down in Q3…).

Good firms are those that have stable owners and leadership over 20+ years. At that time span, it's obvious that short-sighted cost cutting and customer-hostile behavior is just stupid, which is why fewer such firms does it.
Average person would on average pay the same, less taxes for subsidies and more in the store.

The problem is with smaller countries, where your local milk will be more expensive (and you less taxed) but your neigbor countries' subsidized milk will still be cheaper, and you'd buy that and in the process, destroy your local milk industry.
I've been spending a lot of time thinking and talking about the decline of independent forums. And I think there's a lot to be said about the fundamental change in the legal environment today compared to the early 2000s.

Back then, sure, there was moderation, but there was also plenty of content that, while not egregious, by today's standard would certainly keep a small independent forum sysop up at night. Linking to pirated content, for instance, used to be generally a non-issue, and even if someone cared, the likelihood they were going to find it and bother targeting your forum was pretty slim. These days, that is very much not the case, with bots happy to scour the Internet for a rising number of possible content that could get your server targeted and pressured into oblivion by a pack of rabid attack lawyers.

I'm sort of hoping to see a move to the use of darknet services to alleviate some of that, perhaps with relays like tor2web or similar options for i2p that can make them clearnet accessible without the dread associated with running a server with user created content exposed to lawyers. That, or simple ephemerality of content (though say, IRC or similar protocols) seems to be the way around the reality of the legal environment brought on by web 2.0 (and beyond).
Sounds like a layer 8 issue, I have been using ddg as my main search engine and I always find what I need on the first page.

Every time I stumble in to google I am appalled at how bad the UX is.
I think it’s a good idea, and a great way to incentivise someone for content they’ve created. It also reminds me of “Steemit” from a few years back.

Even mentioning crypto is triggering for a lot of people, especially after the scams and recent crashes.

It’s also becoming highly regulated, so you can’t even legally use it without paying taxes in most countries.

So many downsides that I would avoid using it myself… but I truely wish you all the best with it

I would recommend it: it’s a lot nicer than web dev imho. I work a lot with the Ambiq boards and yeah, it’s a pleasure. Having months of battery life and optimising every cycle is fun and shows what we could have. Most embedded devs I work with now are sloppy and lazy and often forget that cutting $0.01 production cost means something if you deploy in a minimum of 10million devices. And actually not needing to recharge the battery or just using less energy for weeks to months is also a massive boon in many projects. I find that type of dev fun to do. Makes me happy.

I dabbled a bit using AOP in college, mostly trying to get software to do new things via dynamic updates.

It was the most awful paradigm to use, had to develop a test harness just to figure out the configuration and control flow for experiments.
