My personal homepage in the 2000's was a simple XML document, automatically translated with XSLT. IE supported that using <?xml-stylesheet?> pre-processor tag. When you tried to view its source, you'd only see a weird XML markup. Surprised a few I'm sure as this predates Firebug and similar DOM inspectors :)

I actually liked XML + XSLT + XPath combo a lot, and kept using them with my projects at Microsoft.
Perhaps it would even be useful to do networking use audio (like dial up sounds or cassette tapes) One could carefully pick sounds to be the least annoying and have [say] a printer announce to the world that it is still online. One could probably transfer well over 50kb/s but it hardly seems necessary if one rarely prints anything. I already scream at rarely used printers it would be great if it would listen for print jobs. It could take dictation too. Perhaps it is funny to have the entire print order in human speech.

Iphones have some weird feature to listen for coughing or water(?) We already have door bells and door knockers sending out audio signals. (Video doorbells are great but knockers are more reliable.) Lots of devices in the home make identifiable sounds. Combined with the security footage you could generate a film of you using your wireless drill, every time you look in the fridge, open the front door, when you shoot someone, etc "vacuum cleaning the movie".

The vacuum cleaner can be asked for a status report, its serial, build date etc, how full its bag is utilizing a human friendly machine readable audio signal.

It seems much more secure than evil men silently communicating with your devices over the internet.

I think we are onto something here.
Thin dry wall with steel framing is pretty good at blocking wifi signals, as far as I recall.
The business limited its exposure through the spinoff. J&J as an entity may need to seize to exist to pay back for the damages.
I wish there were a quick/easy answer here (we all prefer would to read those) but the truth is that it's not that simple. Even among the nations with excellent universal healthcare systems, most differ from each other in pretty significant ways. This is in part because no two countries are the same, and every detail can have a big effect on what system would work best for them. There are certainly stats-friendly ones about population, economics, and politics. But there are also equally-important ones that are cultural and harder to quantify--for instance, in some countries the people have a distrust of doctors, or a cultural aversion to visiting the doctor unless absolutely necessary, and that factors into the best design for that country, based on how it would be used.

What I can recommend is a great book that compares all the systems, through the lens of an American with the same question you have, called The Healing of America by T.R. Reid. Highly recommended.
I've had several people recommend me their IDEs or some new text editor from time to time by telling me that the editor supports Emacs style keybindings assuming that is the main difference between editors. I've never used emac's native keybindings, nor do I use vim's since I don't use qwerty.

While my custom keybindings are something I would not want to give up they can be replicated in any other editor that provides this basic functionality. What cannot be replicated is the whole reason why I prefer emacs, I like being able to use it like a file explorer, like a terminal, I like being able to open or edit pretty much any type of file I ever use. When you combine the ability to work/view most of the files with consistent keybindings, that is the killer feature that emacs provides, its never been about the keybindings.

I'm curious though, I never really got into vim as soon I realized that it only makes sense if your layout is qwerty. Is vim just its keybindings? or is it like emacs in that the keybindings are not the main reason people use it?.
I have a giant teaching slide-ruler I got from my father in-law's estate. It's missing the slider, and needs a good cleaning. Oddly enough, if you look closely, 2 *3 <> 6, the scale is slightly off. ;-)

Slide rulers are pretty easy to use, and make.

This Illustrated Self-Guided Course On How To Use The Slide Rule [1] seems reasonable.

With respect, this is a textbook example of anecdotal thinking.

What if your friend was still alive today because he was driving his lifted Dodge Ram 2500 when he ran a red light twelve beers deep and T-boned an Accord, his aftermarket steel bumper severing the B-pillar and decapitating all four occupants (mother, father, two daughters)? Would you still imply that his choice of vehicle was defensible because it increased his chances of surviving that collision?

Ideally humans would simply not drive, but that's not feasible in the world we currently live in, so everybody should be on a level playing field designed not only to evenly distribute risk but also to minimize it. Like I said in my original post, consumer pickups as they exist in America today are measurably incompatible with the public good.
The Paris Review interview linked in the blog is interesting glimpse into Le Guin's background. I've only read her fiction.
I think you are probably mostly familiar with high profile cases in the tech space. Outside that the DoJ has a pretty strong record of success in antitrust cases.

Recent examples include:

* A case involving wage suppression by a secret agreement of poultry procesors in Georgia (May 2023)

* A divestment agreement for ASSA ABLOY AB to take over Spectrum Brand Holding Inc.’s Hardware and Home Improvement division

* An antitrust lawsuit against Activision for esport wage surpression.

See https://www.justice.gov/news/press-releases?f%5B0%5D=facet_t... if you want more

I suspect antitrust action against a Chinese-owned entity that had shutdown travel in the US would be fairly broadly supported.

Nah, not a waste of time - I understand the feeling!
What was the name of the original Vim magic-auto-default setup project? I wish I could remember it! There used to be so many Vim questions on Stackoverflow from people who installed Vim ________ (?) and had no idea what it did. The advice was always: "Stop using that, and learn Vim." This project smells like that.

There are two types of Vim users:

1. "Stop trying to make Vim and IDE with all your fancy plugins, learn Vim!"

2. "Vim is so much more than a text editor, of course you can use it as an IDE."

These two Vim users are usually the same person.

You have to learn Vim's terrible, verbose, antiquated commands in depth in order to justify using Vim. If you don't use q: (q colon) and q/ (q forward slash) in Vim, for example, you probably don't know Vim well enough to justify the efficiency loss you have compared to you using a modern IDE with multiple cursors.

Aside: It blows my mind that there are still plugin managers being invented for Vim. That's a bad sign for an editor. This shouldn't exist in userland.
Nice, thanks for letting me know. It's been years since I seriously looked into this.
You are laboring under some misconceptions and should read through the site I linked above. They have qualified physicians who have worked with many patients to reverse type-2 diabetes largely through nutritional ketosis. (Obviously I'm not suggesting that you just go do it on your own.)
> It's very weird that the push and pop are in completely different places in the opcode map.

Are they? There's a lot of different opcodes for push and pop, but if I'm reading right, for a given address mode, the op code for push and pop always differs by one bit (which bit changes though)

Stretching the topic slightly -- so as to include other high-school coincidences -- Nobel laureate Richard Axel has a delightful passage in his 2004 acceptance speech (medicine & physiology), recalling a moment in the 1960s when he was playing competitive basketball as the center for Stuyvesant High's team in New York City.

Their opponent one afternoon was Power Memorial High, which had the future Kareem Abdul Jabbar (then known as Lew Alcindor) playing center. As Axel recalls: "When I was first passed the ball, he put his hands in front of my face, looked at me and asked: "What are you going to do, Einstein?"

Quoting from Axel: "I did rather little. He scored 54 points and I scored two.
He went on to be among the greatest basketball legends and I became a neurobiologist."
As someone who does both bits I definitely agree but my point is more subtle that merely being able to do it misses the point.
At that level I wonder if the measured time is even useful. I'd imagine myself just looking at the commited code/specs done at the end of the day and assert if it was productive or not.
Other providers are even worse! I live in a “rural” area (across the street from the same town as Microsoft) and the only other option is DSL.

A question about ELF and VLF for whoever knows:

I just finished reading Thunderstruck (Erik Larson, author of Devil in the White City), which I don't recommend. It ineffectively juxtaposes the story of Marconi with Hawley Crippen, a murderer in London whose case became famous around 1910. (I say "ineffectively" because their stories really don't intersect, IMHO) The book goes on and on about all the demos and tests he ran for years and years, to the point of being eye-glazingly boring. All that aside...

Anyhow: at the very end, the author tells us that Marconi discovered near the end of his life that higher frequencies obviate the need for the gigantic transmitters and receivers he'd been using. Yet he never tells us what frequencies Marconi was using! Does anyone know?

I've seen and experienced this as well, but not to the point where calling the same doctor for an appointment would get me in earlier or later. More typically I have access to different doctors altogether, or need approval for certain doctors, or have different out-of-pocket costs.

I almost gave up checking this out, as the window remained an empty white page. Disable ad-blockers to check if they were the problem. They were not. Then suddenly the UI popped up. It looked interesting. But without source code to check, or a privacy policy I wouldn't just try it out.
Unfortunately - that's the only way to force some drivers to get their car brakes fixed.
The whole point of the kei form factor is different parking rules in dense, sometimes cramped Japanese cities. Due to the small footprint, they are allowed to park in more places.

These are urban vehicles, not intended for highways, except in a pinch.
It’s $2500 a month here and that just makes me angry. I would probably do it if it weren’t for the fact that it worked fine a couple of years ago.

Interestingly, the sales people for Comcast do say I should actually get those download speeds. They did not used to make claims that way. Comcast is happy to downgrade my performance.

Thanks for that last paragraph. I didn’t realize that’s how the speed tests work, but of course you can see the negotiation process as they happen.
This is very accurate and partly while I, shameless plug here, built Nestful[0]. Nestful also utilizes periods for tasks, but takes it a bit further by trying to eliminate decision making by allowing you to just do "whatever's next".

Prioritizing a task when adding it is way less stressful than deciding which one to do just before doing it.

Looking at the employment rate across US doesn't look like it.

Specially the people living from paycheck to paycheck, without any kind of healthcare support.
> This also stops the subsidy from ratcheting up the cost of the thing, because if you can drive 30 minutes out of your way to save a thousand dollars you do it, but if the government is paying either way then you don't.

If the government is paying, why would it be cheaper 30 minutes away? One of the main features of single payer systems is that the single payer can impose a price list, and control any “ratcheting of prices” as you put it
The unfairness isn't in what happens after they do something wrong, it's in how they structure their operations to begin with.

The point of limited liability is so that grandpa can invest in an index fund even if he doesn't understand the inner workings of consumer products manufacturing without having to worry that one of the 500 companies in the index will hire a bad manager and have it wipe out not just that investment but his entire retirement account and his house and every other asset.

The problem comes when corporations use the same mechanism to isolate their subsidiaries. Foo Corp is making phones that burn down your house and providing financing to buy them with and cloud services to use them with and software to run on them, but these are each different subsidiaries. Then Foo Electronics files for bankruptcy while its shareholders get to keep all the profits it made from selling the other services instead of making the victims whole.

The solution should be that limited liability is for natural persons, not corporations. If a corporation screws up you can go after the parent. Which makes sense, because the original rationale for limited liability doesn't apply there. We don't expect a business to be a generic investment fund -- if they're buying something it's because it complements their existing products and services, and they understand its operations. If they were just buying it as an independent investment then they could just as well return the money to shareholders to invest in that themselves.

And if that also makes it less advantageous for corporations to consolidate into huge conglomerates, good.
I did the same, and then allowed logged in users to define their own stylesheet. Thought it was pretty cool at the time.
Sure, you’re hosting a few hundred or thousand videos, a blob of yaml can be good enough. I have no history if this project, but I suspect they started out like that. Something like Elasticsearch usually comes into play when you are ingesting a lot of data point very quickly, so I would assume the authors wanted to archive fairly huge amounts of videos.

I believe the case against classical liberal economics has more to do with the economic crises of the late 19th century and specially the Great Depression than with the wars.
There is a difference between denigrating a thing, and critiquing it realistically. I think that humans riding bicycles is a good thing. I also recognize that we cannot transport goods in such a fashion to keep the world running as we know it.
It is beyond my comprehension why TODO apps exist. I mean, there's Notepad, and there are notepads, and I really don't see a workflow that is not suitable for them.
It's (also) this I don't get. if shareholders own enough of the company to be able to sell to PE then they own enough to be able to replace the damn management with better. That's basically the point of (active) shareholders.

It seems this is an expensive way to get passive shareholders replaced with activist shareholders. it feels there is a better way.

>If they are using it for practical purpose, you can’t replace it with a Kei

Often people living on large properties and in rural areas have vehicles that never hit public roads, and Kei car class vehicles or their equivalent get used every single day. Just think about the logistics of living down a long road on 30 acres - getting the mail, taking garbage bins out, moving tools, water, animal feed, debris, etc. Large trucks don’t even fit through some gates and Polaris/atv/small vehicle is often the best solution.

I never understood the attempts by people to try to pressure me into joining them drinking. Like, I’ve never given a shit if they drink. It’s not some moral quest of mine, like I’m on a 21st century Temperance Crusade. It’s just a personal choice not to. But for some reason it apparently makes (some) people extremely uncomfortable that I am not drinking when they are. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> it sounds victim-blamey but it's not books' fault that you bought them.

It sounds that way because you are putting the responsibility in the wrong place. To-do list apps advertise certain benefits. If huge swaths of people don’t actually get the benefit, that’s the to-do list failing to live up to its promise, at least for that group. If some app offered to help you organize your books and the end result was people ending up with tons of books, yeah you can kinda blame the app.

I'm still using this, but now I'm contemplating on switching to my system's package manager instead. It was pretty useful when I was on Windows, but now I'm just feeling less and less of its benefits. The scope is also intentionally limited, so you need to eventually install some tools manually anyways (e.g. ccls). But I can see the benefits if you work on both Windows and Linux.
To comply with GDPR it has to be opt in, and choosing not to opt in has to not affect the app's functionality.

Show HN: A Ruby gem for generating migration from mermaid er diagram

I'd really love to get feedbacks and or problems.
A price list is a price control. Then no one has any incentive to lower the price beyond that so there is no price competition.

If they set the price too low, you get shortages or long queues or sacrifice quality and no one can do better because that would require charging more, which isn't allowed.

If they set the price too high they're overpaying, which is what happens in any system where the providers have political influence, as is manifestly the case in the US. Then new competitors can't lower the price because it's set by corrupt politicians and more efficient providers aren't allowed to return the difference to patients who choose them.

And you can screw up in both directions at once. The list price is too low for a high cost of living area so you can't have a provider in a convenient location for people willing to pay more, but is too high for a provider in a less expensive area who then has no incentive to pass on their lower costs to price sensitive consumers. If the government tries to pay them each a different amount then patients have no reason to avoid the higher cost one which increases healthcare spending.
Damage control and intimidating researchers, it seems.
Same, except they started us in 1st or 2nd grade. I (mid-40s) have vivid memories of the computer lab, with Apple computers lining either side of the wall and the lighting and everything. That segment in my early education left a bigger imprint on me than when we watched the challenger explode from the carpeted benches in my music class.

Yes I did. And they work fine, until you need to do that one thing (e.g. "Set up Black to format on save"). Now you are back in that world of pain of figuring out which plugin needs to be installed/configured, only now you are figuring out someone else's way of doing it.
I can't speak to GP but I would definitely say that phones everywhere are a nuisance. Google "Ruined by Instagram" for plenty of lists.
