First, I have to make a personal confession — I never liked the SMS short-hand thingy that worked with pre-iPhone phones. That was one of the reason I seldom use SMS/Text-Messages unless I really need to.

I have been using text-expansion since the early days of TextExpander[1], an app that works on iOS and macOS. However good the iPhone keyboard was, it was always not convenient to type and retype details such as home address, home/work map, and many other work/personal related info. TextExpander helped a lot.

I started looking for an alternative when TextExpander converted to a subscription model, which I (personal) believe is not suitable for such a tool. I found a better alternative in Alfred[2], bundled with its Powerpack — Snippets.

macOS/iOS also has its built-in “Text Replacements” but it fails me quite often in non-Apple apps. What you have here is similar to that of Apple’s Text Replacement. I let that remain and the others are managed via Alfred. Honestly, I may move to this once I can totally walk out of Alfred (Spotlight is becoming good enough.)

However, I’d like to use a delimiter to expand so it does not come in the way of my normal typing (I can touch type). Currently, I use “,” (comma) as a delimiter (Affix) because, in English, there is always a space after a comma and my expansion is only after I type a comma and the short-text without a space. Also the comma key is located conveniently when you touch type.

If I do reconcile and stay with the OS’s Text Replacement, I might still introduce the delimiter to prevent automatic expansion of the word which wasn’t intended for that particular scenario.

I wish they had a web version of it just like icloud private relay. They had something like this in the US called Firefox private network but they deprecated it in favor of their mullvad deal.

It's a shame because the mullvad deal is not interesting at all. Direct from mullvad it's the same price (cheaper if you pay monthly) and you have more features then through Firefox.

And it doesn't route every site through a different IP like Apple does. Something like that I would pay for but not this.

Knowing gender cuts down your sample space by half.

Assuming you are looking at someone between the ages of 1-80, knowing birthdate further filters in just 1÷(80 * 365) of the sample space.

Since they're 42000 ZIP codes in the US, knowing the ZIP code lets you filter in just 1÷42000 of the sample space. Together, 1÷2 x 1÷(80*365) x 1÷42000 = 0.00000041%

With these three datapoints, you can identify roughly 1.3 US persons (assuming a US population of 330M). Not too bad, imho.

> there is a culture of "but people need to deserve it", and I guess because housing is so expensive

Housing doesn't have to be complex or extravagant. A single homeless person could thrive in a small 1-bedroom studio with a kitchenette with their own shower, etc. Many hotel-style residences would be suitable for this purpose.

A key factor will be locating this in a place that doesn't feel like a concentration camp and putting it near the city center with working public transportation so they can access employment options.

They can help "pay" for it via optional community programs for housekeeping, landscaping, trash removal, and so on. Many homeless individuals will not take handouts because of pride and they don't want to feel any more of a failure than they do.

It'll be better than being homeless, but not as good as having your own place (paid for by your own income).
This. I'd also add "How would you like to be called" as sometimes people go by their second given name, not the first given name. For example, you might have a common first name like Muhammad or Ketut.

It's provably true:

* wages grow in proportion to productivity, showing gains in production accrue to workers

* wages grew at records when the US had a totally free market in labor, between 1870 and 1900

* wages are more than 20X greater today than in 1823, after adjusting for inflation, showing the long-term impact of natural market processes

> Three, you need some barriers to participation, however small. This is one of the things that killed Usenet, because there was almost no barrier to posting, leading to both generic system failures like spam, and also specific failures, like constant misogynist attacks in any group related to feminism, or racist attacks in any group related to African- Americans. You have to have some cost to either join or participate, if not at the lowest level, then at higher levels. There needs to be some kind of segmentation of capabilities.

> Now, the segmentation can be total—you’re in or you’re out, as with the music group I just listed. Or it can be partial—anyone can read Slashdot, anonymous cowards can post, non-anonymous cowards can post with a higher rating. But to moderate, you really have to have been around for a while. It has to be hard to do at least some things on the system for some users, or the core group will not have the tools that they need to defend themselves.

> Now, this pulls against the cardinal programming virtue of ease of use, but ease of use is the wrong goal for social software. Ease of use is the wrong way to look at the situation, because you’ve got the Necker cube flipped in the wrong direction, toward the individual, when in fact, the user of a piece of social software is the group.

Ansible is great, but (imo) aged. Sure it's good for dealing with legacy hardware that cannot support terraform like state, but (imo) untyped yaml and excessive playbook runtimes turn into significant development drain as you scale.

Ansible solved a large problem (config management) before the kubernetes era, but containerization accomplishes the same goal for most applications before deployment.
It depends on the purpose. Here you say it’s just so you can call them by their name properly, so just use a single text field “What name would you like us to address you as?”. If there’s legal or other issues that might not be good enough.

When you buy stocks, you are in fact directing resources, in the form of goods/services, into building a company, which is a form of capital.

This effect is the ultimate outcome of a long chain of reactions that originates with the exchange of your money for the seller's stock. If you had spent your surplus income buying consumer goods instead of the stock, that chain of reactions—and the outcome of new capital they produce—wouldn't have happened.

How is the explosive used in the slaughterbots scenario different from what you can buy by the box in cartridges of bullets? Those aren't exactly highly protected even in the USA.

Equality Labs was initially setup by a Bangladeshi Muslim to fight "Islamophobia" and to target Hindus in general. Thenmozi joined it much later and became "co-founder". They shared stage with known wanted Khalistani terrorists and such.

The "Islamists" tag made it harder for this organization to get any traction with politicians and corporate world. Everyone would look at them suspiciously so they quietly dropped all the muslim names from their site and removed most references to Islamophobia.

I am really sorry for your loss. I know you want to blame yourself but you could have just as easily killed them setting up the loop as well. Plus with no one to maintain the system they would have likely run into many issues. It isn't a system to be set up or maintained by those who aren't willing to dedicate a lot of time and understanding at this point and who are not technically inclined.

For most T1D the best prevention if you can afford it is still a CGM(which you need for the loop too) and making sure your low alert system works and you have another person connected to your data in case you are incapacitated with their low alert system set up. I'd also love to see this hooked up to EMS eventually too.

Unfortunately for many people the cost of a CGM or getting insurance to cover it is the prohibitive factor though. I really hope this part of the equation changes someday soon.

I think they tried that in SF and it did not work at all. There's definitely a subset of the homeless population that would take advantage of something like that, but my guess is that those people are not really a problem to begin with. In other words the people that could take a free apartment and then turn their lives around are probably not defecating on the streets and shooting drugs in broad daylight. If you take the latter and give them an apartment it's only going to exacerbate their bad habits. The biggest problem that happens to overlap with homelessness is all kinds of illnesses from addiction to mental issues, and those are not being addressed. These problems are confused with lack of housing for some reason, and then the problem just never gets actually solved.

Then think about what are the requirements your system needs when it comes to names.

Does the app need to know what a user's name is at all or is a username enough? Does it need to distinguish the family part of their name for anything?

A thing I think is the most general is to just have a Full Name field (min length 1 and either John Doe or something cute as default) And a Nickname or Display Name field if your app needs to show something on screen.

You'd likely get something like Flutter. It's actually gotten quite good these days with their web version, 300 ms to load a counter app, and 150 ms with WASM enabled.

There's a great post by Ian Hickson, the project lead of Flutter, about how we might have more WASM based web apps while keeping the DOM for content based websites:

> This document proposes to enable browsers to render web pages that are served not as HTML files, but as Wasm files, skipping the need for HTML, JS, and CSS parsing in the rendering of the page, by having the WebGPU, ARIA, and WebHID APIs exposed directly to Wasm.

Huh, have to say that strikes me as kind of sleezy. It seems disingenuius and shallow. Like, instead of having meaningful conversation with people, relating to them on a substantive level (if possible), he’s just mindlessly automating his way through women “telling them things they want to hear”, hoping to get laid, using macros from his phone. That gives off major creep energy, and this is coming from another guy.
Right... which is why I said it's gotten significantly worse and didn't say the problem didn't exist a decade ago. There is a direct correlation to the increase in open drug use and crime in the bay area with the decriminalization of drug use and petty theft. If you're arguing otherwise, I guess I'd question whether or not you live in the area or spend any significant time there.

I think that people are just assuming the worst case for wireless and best case for wired (in terms of longevity). AFAIK most wired headphones don’t have a replaceable cable, and the ones that do tend to be pricier. Personally I’ve had the same AirPods for 3 years now, and the batteries seem fine. The only pair of wired headphones that I’ve had last that long were $400 sennheisers, and I think I’m pretty careful about making sure that cable ends dog get bent and that the cables aren’t tangled.

You were promoting the socialist narrative, that is premised on the claim that free market exchange whereby a worker sells his labor is not in fact a free market exchange as a result of alleged duress the "system"—enacted by an alleged conspiracy of capitalists—subjects the worker to. That's why you used the word "acquire" instead of "create" to describe the capitalist's acquisition of capital. By framing the worker as the creator of capital, you are trying to lend credence to the Marxist narrative that the act of profiting from employed labor is expropriation of the surplus value generated by the worker.
Correct. In fact a lot of castes got SC/ST status because these names had some spelling mistakes when the clerks wrote it down.

For example when a clerk read out to another the list of STs, there was one name called "Bhil Meena", the clerk who as writing it down heard it as "Bhil, Meena" as a result Meena which is actually a pretty powerful caste is ST even today where as Bhil Meena is still fighting for that status.
