The saliva injection occurs when the tick attaches. It's accompanied by an anesthetic that keeps you from noticing it in most cases. [1]

Admittedly, there are a lot of articles saying "Don't try to suffocate or irritate the tick before pulling it out." They are written by doctors who have never actually had a tick bite. Once the tick is firmly attached, which takes several hours, you will often be unable to remove it cleanly without chemical assistance of one sort or another.

We used coal-tar ointment (ichthammol) for that back in the day [2]. Some say alcohol works just as well, others say differently. The suggestion elsewhere in the thread to freeze them off with wart remover sounds like it could work well. For me personally, the ultimate remedy was G'ing TFO of that part of the country.

I haven't heard that name in a long time. Is that how it worked, by image size? I thought it was URL pattern matching.
Yattee + Tailscale + Piped greatly increased my consumption of Youtube videos.

Missing most of the features mentioned (recommendations, watch history, google account, shorts) are all pros instead of cons to me. Just an app for intentionally watching content in a no-frills private environment, it's refreshing.
For 16 or so years Costco required you to have an AmexEx card if you weren't paying with cash or debit, now they only take Visa. This was apparently something lots of newish members weren't aware of so it wasn't too uncommon to be in line and have someone say they didn't have the right card to pay. You'd then have to wait for the checkout person to give them the Costco Amex card spiel.
Centralizing control of something that was designed to be distributed

This is human nature/greed unfortunately. Look at any natural (distributed) resource. The current economic system rewards this as well.
You mistake the product for the customer.

She will make straight websites for gay customers. And she won't make gay websites for straight customers.

It is the content of the request, not the sexual orientation of the requester.

If you were a freelance developer, would there be projects that you would be morally opposed to working on?
Workaround: an app like Mint that can export the transactions as CSV.
And most of those were rejected without all that much pushback, as opposed to this one where there's about 100 comments already.
I don't really have any comment on whether SLES was suitable for their RHEL shop or not. This entire subthread rabbit hole is just about their absurd assumption that packages can be transplanted between distros and their subsequent doubling-down on it.
>I see this attitude from time-to-time in the younger Gen-Z's. There's this belief that somehow life was supposed to be made "easy" for them, and they are wildly offended that life isn't easy.

To be fair, certain things have been made much easier for them.

Sure, getting a house ie even more difficult for ever new generation, but, as an older millennial, I would have killed to have had access to the same mental, acne and dental treatments, that Gen-Z has access to today, and also, to the vast and easy to access community contributed information pool on the internat on topics like emigration, taxes, jobs, financial investment and career advice, dating advice, that's so easy to get nowadays versus 10-20 years ago. It would have made my teenage and adult life much, much easier on all fronts.

The internet was conceived as a democratic haven, a realm where every individual had the potential to influence and shape their digital experience. However, a pervasive dip in technological literacy and a rising dependency on heavily-guided online pathways has begun to shift this balance. If this trend persists, corporations will continue to maintain their overarching dominion.

A dynamic, user-driven community still thrives in the vast expanse of the digital world, yet it lies hidden beyond the towering edifices of corporate-controlled structures. Discovering these spaces has become an increasingly formidable task, as the infusion of corporate social content into journalistic and blogging platforms perpetuates the mirage that such networks are all that exist.

Each colossal tech corporation we see today began its journey as a modest, affable endeavor. As these projects expanded with their burgeoning popularity, users neglected to challenge the escalating influence and control these companies wielded.

Nitter was merely an alternative facade to Twitter. Despite offering an ad-free environment, it lacked substantial advantages as the underlying platform remained the same - Twitter.

However, the digital realm is not void of choices. Federated social media is emerging as a profound alternative. Yet, a majority of those voicing concerns about corporate social media seem to dismiss options like Mastodon. This is primarily due to their increased technological demands and people's comfort in having a corporation guide their online journey.

The power to reshape your digital footprint rests in your hands. You can sever ties with your corporate social media accounts. You can choose to eschew media that incessantly embeds corporate social media content. You can advocate for an internet not ruled by corporate influence. All it requires is the willingness to venture beyond the realm of comfort.

While I wouldn't download books via this website, the search engine is excellent! (Better than Amazon and Google.) Could you consider adding filtering the results by year? Also, just out of curiosity, how much storage does your archive take? I am guessing it is in the order of petabytes.
Is it really a mistake to take your government at their word? When an authority figure lies, far more culpability lies on the authority figure than the subordinate. In this case, it wasn't even a lie, it was active obstruction by politically-motivated wall-people of the Supreme Court.

If my boss says "You can work from home today", and I let my wife borrow the car, then the CEO says "You actually have to come into the office today or you're fired", who made a mistake? Maybe I could have, potentially maybe, known that my boss could be overruled, but it's hardly my fault. My boss has more culpability, because as someone who's job it is to relay information to me and make appropriate decisions based on their directives, they have an obligation to not fuck me over. But mostly it's the CEO's fault for being a dick.
The experience yes, but not the price. At least in my country.
A lot of comments suggesting federation as the solution to centralisation. I believe this is a false dichotomy.

I think Write Once, Publish Everywhere (including both centralised and federated) is much better.

It's the first step. When cannabis was legalised for medicinal purposes the doctors prescribing it had to import it from overseas suppliers.

Yes I imagine the next step is a local supplier company goes through the valid approval process and gets their product approved.

>Medical marijuana in Australia has suffered from similar issues, with an onerous approval process in many states making it very difficult to get a prescription.

I live in NSW so maybe I am a bit naive but it is possible to see a doctor over the internet that works for a dispensary in another state and have them issue you a prescription if you fit the criteria for medicinal cannabis.

I was cynical about the idea of these dispensaries having their own in house doctors but upon further thinking it makes sense since some doctors still don't acknowledge the medicinal benefit of cannabis.
> In my late 30s, I went serious about getting ads out of my life.

Have you also cut everything out of your life that's financed through ads? So I'm expecting you to not use any Facebook, Google, Twitter, Youtube or other modern web content.

I agree that ads are manipulative. That's their very essence. But they exist for a reason. Not to enrich people, but the uphold one side of a bargin. You can't expect everything to be for free.
They both were barely profitable right? So focus is on long term profitability. The eat the rich thing is blinding you guys.

You are limited to 100 cubits cubes and must include all sources fully expanded on high quality papyrus scrolls. I have high quality sources for my personal convictions unfortunately I cannot provide them in this medium for they are on high quality papyrus.
> Why the hell are government agencies using Twitter/Facebook for official communication in the first place?

Exactly this. It's fine if they use twitter to syndicate news that is also announced on official government systems, but not as a primary and certainly not as a solitary distribution method.

> Can you imagine Musk banning some random non-USA government agency because he had a fit while high at 3 am?

That would be hilarious and maybe it would result in some people learning that twitter is in fact a private corporation that can do whatever it wants, but i doubt it - similar incidents proved that large swathes of users believe twitter is or should be treated as public infrastructure rather than prompting significant moves to user controlled platforms
And assuming I am right about apple owning the whole loop e2e. The play here is to replace Mastercard and Visa's monopoly, or in other words be what Square Payments was aspiring to be but hasn't gotten there, yeah?
I wasn't thinking about tracking. I was thinking it would be cool if people can setup data collection sites like an anemometer in the case of weather or an SDR/something like that for RF in this case... what would incentivize them to make it good/get paid more... how do you verify it, not just made up data.
Understanding Challenges in Remote Work

Thank you for your valuable insights and your time!"
It’s still a fantastic step in the right direction, giving medical practitioners the flexibility to explore new medicines for treatment. I know my perception of these substances changed after reading How to Change your mind by Michael Pollan: https://michaelpollan.com/books/how-to-change-your-mind/
They had an implementation that did not require any accounts. They deemed that it's too confusing for users* to scan some QR codes (or type a bunch of characters), so they went with an account-based system.

*) Or whatever the real reason was. It was about time Mozilla started to have management issues so I absolutely won't be surprised if the goal was to "become an ecosystem" or "gather a userbase" (or whatever is management speak for forcing people to sign up).
UK experience (some years back) of a platinum card was that the few places who accepted it preferred Visa or Mastercard. Minimal utility, basically.
Today I came across a dilemma. I wanted to somehow stub or fake Azure's Service Bus. There's no official way to do it. So, I came up with an idea to overwrite its implementation with my own, by mapping @azure/service-bus to my own class in tsconfig.json, no luck, because the framework that I use is using Webpack under the hood, so I would need to create a plugin, rule, whatever, to make it work, but I didn't want to write a specific configuration just for Webpack.

Instead, I had another idea: to import @azure/service-bus dynamically, using ES dynamic `import`, in place of static imports. But, since I'm using Node.JS, I have to set the package.json type to module, so I can use top-level `await`, with dynamic `import` to import, with the help of a ternary, the correct implementation on the fly.

I had a extremely bad experience trying to convert a CommonJS project to use ES Modules before. So I did not go through with the plan.

Finally, after spending some time trying to not use CommonJS I gave up, and in place of dynamic import I used the "good" ol' `require()`, ending up with something like this:

const { ServiceBus } = (isDev ? require('./my-service-bus') : require('@azure/service-bus')) as import('@azure/service-bus');

.

And that was that.

Project maintainers have to make ES Modules practical before it's pretty.
I'm not saying it's great, but saying it was thought about even though one of go's design philosophies was to be as minimal as possible. That is, it's something that was thought of as part of the language development.

The same can't be said of slightly older languages like C#, Java, or python. Perl, for all its foibles, was probably the first language with a more modern package management system (CPAN).
I tried this yesterday. It... helped. But what I've now found is that if I escape out of the password prompt (which will turn the screen off again) and then try to unlock it a second time, the watch unlock will be triggered. I wonder if it's something about waking from sleep. (I also wonder if it would have worked before to do the same thing, but it never occurred to me to try.)

If you care deeply enough about any of those things that they're a major concern when choosing a phone, yes, I do make the same argument.

A major audiophile won't be happy with a phone. Someone big into 'caching' isn't using Google or Apple maps. A home theatre -phile won't want to watch something good on a phone.
Yes, my wife pulled one out with an "approved tool" but it left a bit off the fangs or whatever in unfortunately. Went to the doctor and to my surprise she said: I won't fumble now and do anything there, the important thing is the body/gut is gone, this is unimportant, just lets disinfect it and watch for lime. shrug
We don't disagree much, FWIW; for me:

> Humans are the problem, not AI.

is

> Humans are the problem, as well as AI.

And in no small part because we make buggy AI, and that seems likely to still be true as capabilities go up.

But we're still a bunch of monkeys at the keyboards, almost literally and not just metaphorically.
I've seen brass plaques set in the concrete advertising for driveway companies.
Lawsuit says OpenAI violated US authors' copyrights to train AI chatbot
How many people have a full time job discussing only AI? It's guaranteed not that many.

Also to say there's nothing original left to say is ridiculous. There is a ton we haven't figured out yet.
I like that my browser (Vivaldi, Brave) has accounts so my phone, desktop (2x OS), and laptop (2x OS) are always completely in sync, with no downgraded functionality if I choose to not use an account.
How is it not? Election laws exist, if you break them, it's your problem.

Not enforcing election laws is what's incompatible with democracy, because it results in a loser being declared the winner.

When you're caught tampering with an election, there's no reason to give you a chance to try again. When you're caught organizing a coup, there's no reason to give you a chance to try again, either.

I really do love this project . Using it in production for testing purposes. Great job guys.
They're not ads that are controlled by Google/YouTube, so I guess I'm able to view them as pragmatically different. They also don't bother me much because they're generally presented by the content creator that I'm interested in watching, rather than being completely unrelated.
that's the Buzz I heard too! I guess it's the next Wave
> The climate changes with or without humans. That gigantic dynamo in the sky has cycles longer than recorded history. The climate models (many of which forecast doom in 20 years or so) fail to have predictive value. Economic growth has proven to be good for human health on a whole...assuming the wealth is distributed & not concentrated.

Thanks for proving my point about us ignoring risks because we want money.

> Do we want to give these powerful psychopaths sole control over AI?

Leading question; Of course not.

Here's the thing:

The Venn diagram of "sociopaths" and the "the government" is not a circle.

Making an open-source model means all the sociopaths get an open source AI you have no control over.
They... like, didn't ask about nuclear power????
Whether or not big tech censorship is currently legal, I think a more interesting question is should it be?

Should this small handful of unelected people be able to wield so much power over the country? If one of them (or even worse, a few of them in collusion) decided that they wanted a particular outcome in an election, it seems like they'd be pretty well situated to make it happen.

This power used to rest with the legacy media companies, but now it's shifting. What's the right thing to allow here (if you pretend for a second that it's up to us)?
Well, your first problem was investing in VW (KIDDING!). But seriously, I usually stick to self-serve stock purchases. Was this a situation where you had to contact a human to make the buy in the first place, or was it that you bought it yourself, then VW changed up their infrastructure and inadvertently locked you out?

Shitty situation either way.
Theological squabbling over doctrine isn't really the point here.
Sadly, a Youtube Premium subscription only removes the ads. They still collect all the data about you.

Remember that you are not just paying with ad eyeballs, but also with your data. When what where how much you watch. That's nobodies business. I'd pay for not having this be in somebodys DB, ready to be exploited (and/or leaked).
that sounds like the lazy guy's way of doing it.
Amazon would still be in charge of enforcement, they'd just be held liable for not doing so. Which is not a pleasant place to be, because blocking automation is not an easy problem, and it's difficult to measure success.
Since today I've been https://nitter.it/ . Don't know how long it will work though.
With placebos, the correct question is: does it displace more efficacious procedures.

I'd say yes. Even if something is a placebo, it's ability to displace better solutions is the problem
The FCC cannot regulate internet communications, by law. That's not the proper agency. Maybe the FTC or maybe a new federal law.
They will make Amazon do the legwork.
ooooh BURN.
You are wrong, we have excellent tests of potential. Read about, for example, about SMPY, where researchers identified kids with high potential in middle school, then tracked their life as they grew up and built their careers. The test they used turned out to be highly effective and predictive: inordinate high percentage of those identified as talented turned out to be highly successful in academic and professional careers. See

https://my.vanderbilt.edu/smpy/files/2013/02/DoingPsychScien...

What was this highly predictive test? It was, quite simply, taking SAT at 11-12 years of age. SAT is really good test, and is highly predictive of academic success, its biggest flaw is that it is too easy for those at the top of distribution, but that can be ameliorated by administering it earlier than typical.

> If you truly think that the top 2.5% of black students would be "out of place" at Harvard then you have a completely invented mysticism of what it means to go to Harvard.

If 2.5% of all black students were of Harvard quality, then something like 16% of white students would be, which is something like 3 kids in every high school class. Harvard can afford to be much more selective than that, and in fact it must be so to keep its brand.
9-Min Survey: Developer Relations Compensation and Culture
We’re back with the 9-minute 2023 Developer Relations Compensation & Culture survey: https://commonroomresearch.typeform.com/devrelsurvey-23

Last year, our 2022 survey had 147 respondents who shared their experiences to empower DevRel builders to have more informed compensation conversations—download the free 2022 report here: https://www.commonroom.io/resources/developer-relations-comp...

This year, we added questions about DevRel well-being and mental health to help each other understand more about the profession and to create a healthier space for all.

We'll freely share back the 2023 findings with everyone in the community in August.

In the meantime, this survey (and its analysis) are made possible with special thanks to DevRel leaders like Tessa Kriesel, Mary Thengvall, PJ Hagerty, Matty Stratton, Ed Finkler, Ahmad Awais, Wesley Faulkner, Shawn Wang, the SlashData and DevRel communities, and builders like you. So thank you.

Got questions? Here for them.
This needed to happen 10 years ago.
Yeah a different shell catered for the American market and certainly some minor differences, and despite regional incompatiblity, the NES & Famicom have the same core chips and instruction set.
So many people rushed to copy the node/Python dependency management system that nobody asked if it was really a good idea.

I totally agree that nailing everything down to the one particular minor rev causes way more problems than it solves. The worst part is I'm pretty sure you can be more general (give me version 3, or >3.3.1, not =3.3.1) but all of the automatic tools and online guides default to nailing it down to exactly one version because they're so damn paranoid about API changes.

I will say that CPAN somehow avoided this problem. I think that is mostly because Perl programmers are far less liberal with dependencies, you don't typically see programs pulling in dozens or hundreds of modules the way you do in node projects. But it's remarkable how many old Perl programs can still pull the dependencies and start right up.
India, Malaysia, France, Switzerland and Germany. Go to small towns in most of Europe and you'll find a significant number of vendors not accepting Amex.
It seems fine from here. Maybe a result of AWS being down/broken?
Because that handful of people is there to ensure that the laws of the country are followed, and that those who break them are punished.

That's an integral part of democracy.
Standards for Air Quality Indices in Different Countries (AQI)
It is sort of amazing how many of the scenarios listed on this page we have all seen, probably on a daily basis.

Wonder how many of these will survive to the end? I guess one good thing is that the participants are not something like ISPs vs the public, more like business vs business.
Getting packages working in Go is approximately as low-friction as it is with any other language: "go get <whatever>". Packages are qualified by their Git repository URL, which addresses an important supply chain security issue (but creates other issues). Go has supported a thriving ecosystem of third party packages since approximately the moment it went mainstream.

So, ultimately, all people are saying when they knock Go's package management is that they don't like how it works. That's fine, I don't like how all sorts of things work. But "nothing" is false, and "hacky" is so subjective as to be practically worthless. Obviously, the reason Go gets picked out in these discussions is that it's quite successful as a language, and, to me at least, it follows obviously that they solved package management to some level of the community's satisfaction, because languages without package management aren't successful.

If we wanted to hash out the pros and cons of different package management strategies, that's all the thread will be: just hundreds of back-and-forth messages about package management. It's a big topic.
