Health Insurance for bootstrapped founders in the US
I left my job a week ago and I'm based out of California. My employer's health insurance runs till the end of the month and after that I need to figure something out. I'm a solo founder right now just coding and bootstrapping everything.

These are the health insurance options I've come across so far:

1. Cobra (ends up being $900 per month in my case)

2. Any option at coveredca.com. The lowest priced high deductible plans are still around $475 or so. I don't qualify for much of any subsidy due to the salary I've made for the first half of 2023.

3. Incorporate a Delaware c-corp or an LLC and buy group insurance as a single founder. I believe California allows this but someone correct me if I'm wrong. I looked a few options and they don't seem to be any better or cheaper than the ones on coveredca.com.

Is there anything else that people do now that it's 2023 that I'm missing? Can't believe how pricey health insurance is without an employer for what's basically bare bones coverage that doesn't protect you financially from anything besides you getting hit by a bus!
it's cheap, even vegan probably (if not buttered), not full of sugar, etc. what's wrong with it? yes, every day seems suboptimal, but it's not trivial to have a varied balanced healthy diet, and folks need to eat every day (usually at least twice).
Compile glue code to the new kids favorite web stack:

Their favorite database (SQLite)
Their favorite webserver (Spin)
Their favorite runtime (CPython)

Hopefully some imagemagic, but definitely none of the linux clutter
^ This, 100%. GTk's GObject type system which powers the entire GNOME stack is a similar object-oriented C type system with a virtual table pointer as the first member of an object, similar to Microsoft COM and C++.

The entire Objective-C runtime which is what powers the OO core of the language was also written with a similar purely C type system... It's just a small compiler layer on top...
This is very cool. I'm afraid the only way to get a more accurate answer about the inlet/outlet ports airflow is nothing short of CFD. This is because apart from the inlet geometry, the current geometry of the cylinder and the position of the valve also play a role. A jet that enters the cylinder at an angle is more likely to "fill" it faster and "see" less resistance in the inlet part, due to a vortex created within the cylinder.

The model can be evaluated in e.g. 10 different positions of valve overlap for a given geometry, and the missing points interpolated.

Very fun project !
What timescale are you talking about? I have a William Sonoma salt grinder, as well as one that my friend made for me. They're both about 5 years old. As far as I know there's no significant deterioration on either one. The grinding surfaces are ceramic.
And no less absurd than a 200k Mercedes sedan
It is literally dream scenario for both media and people.
I hear your point, but the given example? GPS? Does anyone prefer an auto manufacturers software GUI over the GUI of their phone? CarPlay and the Android equivalent for the win.
This seems to be a fairly complete model of the camera imaging process, with a nice resulting output. Modeling polygonal apertures and other effects could be done in the future.

I can see why these images take so long to render.

Every time I think "We'll never need more compute, things are fast enough"... some new cool thing comes along, like this.
That's we need regulation. We are slowly approaching "let's drive a tank" territory. SUVs make the world dangerous and scary for people outside of cars: pedestrians, cyclists, other small personal vehicles users.

It's very sad to see people being cool with that but I understand it's rational. You will likely not go to jail if you kill someone because of low visibility. The victim blaming culture will even try to convince you it's not your fault that you haven't seen a pedestrian or cyclist from the vehicle you have chosen to drive.
Yes, this applies to everyone. But I work in the tech industry so I’m speaking to that specifically. I’m in my late 30s and already feel the effects of ageism. Based on personal anecdotes that’s less of an issue in construction or farming for example.
I just buy corn and pop them naturally with popcorn machine, I don’t add anything, and it’s good and healthy!
People do the same thing to bicyclists. I don't know if it's rage at the very obviously outrageous and personal attack that is riding a slower vehicle, or if it's the thinly guised thrill of terrorizing something you deem weaker than yourself. Assholes are assholes. Sometimes you can confront them civily (which has worked once for me), and sometimes you can't. In all cases, it is 100% the asshole's fault.
IMO flavacol is essential. Oil type matters too, coconut oil gives more of a movie theater style flavor (OTOH maybe not as healthy as other options...)
This sort of thing sounds too cartoonishly evil for Denmark to have done at the government level so recently (i.e. not in the 1600s). Was this really a targeted thing, or is it like a chain of sources over time, each citing a controversial subset of the prior one until it sounds like it was specifically targeting a certain group?
We're talking about lizard-brain deep subconscious human behavior here. That's not really something that lends itself to being tinkered with idly. So this seems pretty settled to me. I'm prepared to alter my view if new information comes to light.
Would you be okay with being jailed for destruction of property because of a protest you organised that was co-opted by bad actors?
I've had a fully plastic one for about 5 years
Do you know how much money they donate? I don't, it might be nothing, but I also wouldn't jump to conclusions. It's not like we don't have very wealthy people like Bill Gates put significant time and money into making the world a better.
There’s nothing sad about it.
I do agree with you, though I think BT game controller wasn't a bad idea for two reasons:

- Battle-tested and easily replaceable, compared to a custom one.

- Cables have a snapping risk in that limited physical space, Bluetooth solves it and there's no risk of EMI 4km underwater anyway.

The carbonfiber structure... that's another story. Terrible.
Or just garlic salt?
I couldn't check it using Nsight Compute. It didn't find the kernel even though I ran it as root. A40 is supposed to be Ampere architecture, with GA102 chip so it should be supported. Maybe the toolkit I'm using is too old (CUDA 11.3).

Everything is on the device during the tight loop, and there is minimal transfer to host, so I don't think it's bandwidth limited in that sense. It could be bandwidth limited on the cache level but I couldn't tell. I wish I could get Compute running.
If I sleep 6 or fewer hours, I feel queasy for about half the day.

My body prefers about 9.
Me too. If I didn't do this stuff I don't know what I'd do with myself, with my energy, focus, etc.
I worked on a couple of Next.js projects and all of them turned into a code mess. I have more than a year of experience with Next.js as a senior developer and I still don't know what this frameworks was built for? Is it for a blog post or a full blown app? It started as a framework for a simple blog, but now it turned into this Frankenstein monster and I despise working with it. This is all the sad side effect of JavaScript ecosystem not having a good backend framework like Ruby on Rails or Django. It's a shit show.
The way this title is phrased sounds oddly like they found the frozen rat organs by chance.
> One day we'll all look back and realize how much we miss tactile controls

After the US Navy did their accident report on the US John McCain, they went back to physical controls from touchscreens.

https://news.usni.org/2019/08/09/navy-reverting-ddgs-back-to...

I have a car with a touchscreen and while I like some of what it can do, I dont want all controls on the touchscreen- only what is best for the screen such as the map, the camera views, etc. I prefer physical controls for most everything else.
You have reading comprehension disorder? They stated their point quite clear.
The actual question to ask isn't "is this fake?" it's "how is this record likely to have been manipulated or constructed and whom does it serve?"
I think having LLMs watch/listen/read and summarize public meetings and legislation could present a path to saner discourse in our society. It will (hopefully) be far harder for news organizations and bad actors to pollute the discourse around an issue when you can instantly query exactly what was said or written and, if needed, add context and expand the conversation.
Idk why you're being downvoted. It's well documented and obvious fact that SUVs and tracks are lethal to pedestrians and cyclists because of their hostile low visibility design.

By choosing to drive those in populated areas you're signalling a total disregard for lives of others.
Those eyes are not anime eyes. I can't think of one character who has circle eyeballs with circle iris and no pupil.
To be pedantic, it was immigrants, not refugees. It is unnecessary sensationalisation to claim they were refugees.

Unless of course in your point of view anyone that seeks a better future to avoid problems in their own country is a refugee, which could be a point of view but not one I (or dictionaries) agree with.
Can you just let it sit on the flame or do you have to move it around?
A coffee grinder will quickly make a lot of really fine salt. I do that when I need to heat treat 3D printed parts to improve their material strength. You pack the part into fine salt, bake it at the original extrusion temperature, then slowly let it cool down. The plastic liquefies, and the packed salt holds its shape.
And the problem will be who will verify that the LLM didn’t create text that didn’t reflect the reality?
Isn't it a step from black holes not forming how we think they do - to them not existing?

I remember seeing a claim that the Bluetooth part was a feature since you could just "pass the controller" inside the cabin but I haven't been able to find a source for it.

As for the carbon fibre:

>OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush says the company had been evaluating the potential of using a carbon fiber composite hull since 2010, primarily because it permits creation of a pressure vessel that is naturally buoyant and, therefore, would enable OceanGate to forgo the use — and the significant expense — of syntactic foam on its exterior. So, for Cyclops 2 OceanGate decided to avoid the metallic hull altogether and began a search for a manufacturer that could help it develop a composite hull.

I've been using chicken fat collected from roasting chickens, simmered down and stored in a Ball jar (aka schmaltz)

It tolerates the high heat of popcorn popping quite well and tastes great with a hint of chicken. Usually has notes of the seasoning too... which in my case is mostly black pepper.

+1 on the screen hack, that's definitely a pro-tip.
Do you have income at all right now? Can you apply for Medi-cal (state health care)?

If you have a spouse or domestic partner, can you join their plan instead?

Otherwise, yeah, American healthcare is just fucked. One of the great downsides of living here.
We're all dependent on a web of technology, most of us have a bit more lee-way than you do, but without our fossil fuel supply (and source feed of many chemicals/fertilizers), most of humanity would perish.

I'm sorry you all had such a rough go of it, thanks for sharing your story.
this is genius! the true life hack is always in the comments...
Coconut oil is relatively healthy as far as consuming oil goes, isn't it?
People are intrigued by the unknown, that is, by not knowing what happened to those people and leaving the space open for ideas, conjecture and reasoning. The hype around this case reminds me of that of the disappearance of flight MH370, where there were no celebrities on board.

In contrast, in a traffic accident you almost always know right from the start what happened.
Hard disagree - to me it made a lot of sense.
Do you really? Because at least in the US we are approaching an inflection point where a third of the country decides to kill a different third while the middle third starves to death or dies of disease. I question the notion that adding pundits, industry shills, and random-ass suburbanite influencers to the conversation balances that equation.
I prefer built-in GPS, reason being:

* Location on the map and distance to turns is represented far more accurately

* Knows which way I am pointed and can give accurate directions as soon as I start navigation, while sometimes with my phone I need to move a bit for it to know which way I’m oriented

* Works in tunnels

* Tends to stick to main roads while Apple and Google maps are far too aggressive sending me down side roads or crossing over 2 lanes of traffic.

* Don’t need to pause navigation or mess around with my phone when getting in and out of the car for breaks

* Has detailed information about the services/stores/restaurants available at each rest stop along the highway, and distances to each stop

* Detailed information about lane closures, temporary speed limit reductions due to weather, chain restrictions, etc

* Displays accurate representations of street signs and 3d renderings of off ramps

* Displays landmarks at intersections (e.g. turn right before the ramen shop on the right)

* Shows guidance about which lane to be for two or three upcoming intersections at a time (as opposed to just the next intersection).

* Much more customizable interface. I can choose whether I want it to display gas stations, convenience stores, parking, etc. on the map. How many prompts before a turn. I can enable or disable various features like split-screen turn guidance, etc.

And this is Toyota. Not the prettiest UI in the world but extremely functional. Google Maps is better when searching for businesses and other points of interest, but when it comes to actual navigation I much prefer my car's built-in GPS.
Gene therapies continue to be delivered using adeno-associated viruses (AAV), which means the essential issue of overexpression hasn't been adequately addressed. This impending clinical trial could very likely result in robust immune responses, potentially necessitating patients to take immunosuppressive drugs for the rest of their lives.

> Because dogs and children get backed over with regularity.

8,000 people in the US die every day -- that's as regular as you can get.

Children dying from a vehicle backing over them is _rare_. Obviously, any death or injury is awful, but we're never going to get the number to zero.

The fear of backovers is much greater than the reality.

> The manufacturers did not want to have to build these into every car, they wanted to keep charging a premium for it.

I think it's quite the reverse: now they can pocket that money from every car.

Why would they not want to make yesterday's premium option into today's standard non-option?
I used motion.dev on a couple of test projects when I heard of it. And it's nice, the docs can be a bit lacking, though, and the userbase is tiny enough to have little to no discussion online.
Am french and now sort of feel ashamed of having not read her work event though I do have a high esteem of her haha
I've asked my mother the exact same question a couple of weeks ago. She said, that as salt is hygroscopic "table salt" comes with anti-cacking agents. Salt which comes as larger crystals doesn't need them.

You can do AR experiences. The point of the whole article is to showcase app developers who have existing apps getting their apps up and running quickly.
Yes, accessibility is all that too. But those things are what the vendors usually do not want to do. As in, actively, because that gives agency to the user, and would defeat whatever abusive business trickery they built the software to inflict on people in the first place.

We talk about accessibility in terms of extremes, because those extremes are where we have legal support that companies can't ignore. The vendors don't want to cut the curb, they want to replace it with a fence and a toll gate. Talking about wheelchairs and strollers lets us prevent the fences, and the toll gates. If they figure they'll skip the curb too, every user wins, but this won't happen without prioritizing wheelchairs, and won't happen if we emphasize regular people too much.

Or, in short, accessibility is the only weapon we have to fight dark patterns and maybe get some ergonomics for everyone.

I agree. There are plenty of words for which the earliest surviving example of it being used is in a work attributed to Shakespeare, but there is no reason to believe that Shakespeare was the first to use any of those words. People don't generally use a new word for the first time in a play or a poem, but published plays and poems is all we have by Shakespeare.

The first use of a new word tends to be in conversation (so the first use is not recorded) or in a non-fiction work, where the meaning of the new word can be explained. Or in fantasy novels, as MrJohz points out. (But what's the earliest example of the sort of fantasy novel that has invented words in it?)
Some high scientist just going "Ohh, bro look what I found... What if I, like, unfroze this, and we, like, put it back in another rat??" - "whoa yeahhh"
Thanks for the citation.

Handing the controller around smells like marketing wank, especially when you learn they bolted down the shitter and made the controls remote. Seems like an odd tradeoff. I’d be inclined to use a portable toilet or diapers and firmly attach the controls to the sub near the only window. People can still take turns.

This is very simple to do without wifi. Refrigerators have been doing it a long time.
The Logitech F710 was not a "battle-tested" controller, it's a cheap third party controller of inferior quality. The official Microsoft controllers have serious R&D behind them, but not the Logitech ones.

I guess one note for anyone inspired is that re-frame is really just for state management - it doesn't compare to Om and definitely could not replace it.

Reagent would be the best comparison, and if you wanted something equivalent to JavaScript's Redux you could use re-frame (in addition to your rendering library). However, I think for most people Reagent's built in state management can get them a lot further than one might think.
Not sure what your point is.

I used to work at a movie theater, this is the way.
I've lived in Serbia, Croatia, and Hungary... The key is to go to networking events. (Or co-working spaces, or just show up at their company and say you're interested in working there as an engineer and ask if you could get a quick tour)

If networking events don't happen in your country, then become the organizer. You'll instantly be seen as a leader and attendees will eventually want to talk with you. When you organize regularly, they'll start talking about you. Then you're "in".

If you don't live in the capital city, then it's worth the time & money to travel 1x a month or every 2 weeks. Ask attendees if anyone has a spare couch for you to stay on.

Themes for events you can use the major happenings like AI. Or 'duplicate' Meetup events in other cities.

Post flyers near companies doors, make event on FB & Meet-up, find developers on LinkedIn, there are so many options to get the word out. Split Test and discover which one is most effective (ask attendees where they heard about it)
He might as well have said I couldn't inspire a 60 year old veteran in the field to work for me like a slave for pittance of a salary.

In engineering experience and precision and discipline matters a lot.

OTOH I hope he still is alive somewhere somehow down there and gets rescued, but he does speak like a douchustler.

"Yet, these models contain known racial, gender, and class stereotypes and biases from their training data and other structural factors, which downstream into model outputs"

This isn't my experience at all, certainly in the case of ChatGPT. These days, it seems to stubbornly refuse to return any results which defy its metropolitan liberal "auntie" filter.

I'm not denying that the core models may contain these biases, particularly antisemitism, sadly, but there's also a much greater danger of moderated models reinforcing politically correct groupthink.

The driving directions on my C-Max (with the much maligned Ford Sync 2 system) are actually really nice to use.

Inputting addresses is a pain, and UI responsivity is terrible (which is part of why people don't like it; it's also not pretty, but like who cares? Does the radio need a lovely background image; flat green is fine), but put in into the show the map on the left and the next three steps on the right, and it's way better than using my phone. It's been a while since I tried it, but Android Auto in a rental was worse than just using the phone, so I've avoided it since.

Also, I'm not willing to pay for maps updates every year, and XM for satellite traffic and compressed to hell music that cuts in and out all the time because I live where trees do.

Upcoming turns in the dash is nice too.

I realize it's a rhetorical question - but I think it goes like this: matrix was created to fix issues with jabber/xmpp - both fixed issues with IRC. All three are open protocols.

Zulip was created with a focus on keeping history as usefully as possible - mattermost as another open chat platform.

Except for timing - mattermost and zulip might both have been built on matrix (the servers and clients weren't there yet when theses projects were started).

That might be the case for Revolt too.

Personally I'd love to see more innovation on top of matrix.
>the common excuses for driving an SUV are either selfish or irrational.

I don’t know if you’d call my Subaru an SUV or not, but daily I’m transporting multiple kids, a cello, football gear, groceries, various things for work - there are lots of reasons why people need larger vehicles.
