Before fast acting there was human analog, this is also somewhat short term. What was quite common for a while was the mixed insulins (the cloudy ones you would have to make sure mixed before injecting) which you took twice a day. The same could be achieved with individual doses of course. In general the very long acting insulins are highly variable and not much subscribed (as in they work between 12 and 48h, good luck if it varies a lot).

Long story short, NPH insulins for medium length (about 18h to a day but still lots of variation) was available since the 50's and was usually combined with normal human analog in either a mixture taken twice a day or in separate doses. I was on the twice a day regime of mixtard for most of the 90's.
I think it's also related to the fact that they operate in an incredibly hostile environment.

A broad general union can not thrive, so the only ones that remain are those special interest unions that wield enormous power to extract rents by representing specialists/niches.

In Germany you also have democratic elements in all firms above a certain size (workers councils, Betriebsrat).

The whole cultural and legal framework is just different. Also compared to France for example.
The Sumerians had a base 60, or something similar, numerical system. Is there anything today that's base 60, or has specific constructs around 12s and 5s and 60?

There are patreon competitors. Just none of them have a pay by work feature. Consumers likely prefer a predictable expense so there isn't that much of a demand to do it that way.

> When Siberia burned last year on the scale of multiplies of multiplies of whatever slivers of forest you have left in US no one gave a fcuk.

1) That's a comforting but very improbable claim. I bet that all climate researchers in US noticed that and cared about it. Whataboutism will not help here.

2) This is not how nature works. It will not care about how much people will wave banners in the streets. Much less if the Monalisa is marinated in tomato sauce or not. Nature is not a democracy, is a machine.

As footnote, sometimes I can't fall to ask myself if Russia (that just this week was talking about starting nuclear probes in Siberia and last week was talking about retaking Alaska), really wants to stop climate change or, having a lot of land covered by ice, would secretly expect to benefit of the warming. Is a mystery what they were thinking, but logic or reason quit the room some time ago.
I would feel ashamed and emberessed into the ground if that old crunk have asked me that one when I was a teen.

No they just check the "water damage" sensors regardless of the problem and then tell you the price of changing the bottom bit, the top bit, and the price of a new machine, which are conveniently all the same price.

Aha, touched a predictably sore Apple spot there I see.
I think it's a fine place to start for the following reasons:

* It has a large selection of problems with many good starter problems.

* Once you've solved a problem, you can see how others have solved it (wish more sites had this feature).

* You don't have to write I/O code, so you can just focus on the problem.
IMO, Algorithms are overstated. It is just like going to the gym. Will make you healthy, but won't make you an athlete.

What I found to be more useful is working abstractions, learning more about language theory, and etc.

Algorithm is a branch of Computer Science and should be treated as such. It doesn't surpass or transcend it.
By work is common. For example sales people are paid on comission. If they do 10 deals they get 10x the money. Similarly, lawyers can and do work on comission in fields like collection and tort. Farm workers are paid by piece when it comes to harvesting or planting. In tech, pen testers are often paid by exploit.

Subscribestar has successfully pivoted from "Patreon but you can post right-wing propaganda" to "Patreon but with less restrictions on horny stuff". Patreon is slowly but surely becoming more hostile to horny stuff; right now I'm in the middle of going around with their support over horny creators having to provide some additional identity verification through a third-party site that isn't working on my computer or my phone.
Updated, should be available now :)
I remember working on board repair in the early 90s, then surface mount stuff started to pop in. Equipment at the time was literally $10k in today's dollars, at least that was the figure everyone talked about ($5k-ish).

I remember attaching a thin copper wire to my soldering iron, wrapping it around the tip and then out the front, and using that to work on those tiny pads. Sort of worked. Didn't even have solder tape, just a sucker.

I didn't even understand how a hot air station worked, until youtube showed me years later (I moved onto the software side). The things people could never find out, never know, never even knew existed pre-Internet are staggering.

I don't think anyone under 30 can even begin to comprehend how limited knowledge was before. Quite often, if you wanted to know something, you literally could not find any info about it at all. You wouldn't even know what to ask, when you approached a librarian, even if they could find some book they could get from an inter-library transfer -- which where I lived, took weeks!

Such a culture shift.

But anyhow, I can imagine I'd have destroyed the board trying to get all that back together, via my soldering-iron with wire on end workaround.
This is a theme in several John Wyndham stories -- I’m thinking Day of the Triffids and especially The Kraken Wakes.

He often seems to get looked down on today for writing “cosy catastrophes” about plucky English survivors, but his books have a lot more going on than that.
These seem so incincere, I can't put my finger on why. Just be interested in what they're interested in, same as how to connect with anyone. Let them tell you about things. Thereby establish you are interested in them as a person and are a good listener. And perhaps critically, don't start out with a view to change them - that requires a great deal of trust willingly placed on their behalf which you haven't earned and will never be able to force.
Should be available in all countries now, thank you for the feedback!

Yes! This! The code should be so boring it's never a point of discussion. This implies several things - for example when bringing in a new person, it should be straightforward to teach them how to work with codebase.

Other implications include naming conventions, sufficient amount of documentation, what architectural patterns to choose (if you need to do something that even hints of accidental complexity you need to have really good justification for it)...etc.
Perhaps it would be clearer to "follow the money" - from my perspective (as a patron) the relationships are "patron → patreon" (I pay a single bill from them, once a month or slightly more, but not once per artist) and then "patreon → artist". (Banks/CC/paypal are more interested in the first one, IRS is more interested in the second one...)

I already don't know any direct "wallet" information about the artist, and that's kind of the point - every direct micropayments approach since at least the mid-1990s has failed, so we have aggregation instead, otherwise we'd be spending more on the transaction than on the artist.
It was also around this time that pocket watches were becoming more common, and it was generally being understood how widespread the phenomenon of altering clocks to cheat more hours of work out of labourers was. It even happened that people would bribe churches to ring in particular schedules.

So perhaps its no surprise that there was a general mistrust of attempts to control time
I have done a bit of competitive programming, occasionally, but I have never been in a competition where there is a penalty for wrong submission.

You obviously have to fix your bugs to validate the answer, and you obviously lose time when you didn't make it right the first time and have to debug your code, but when it comes to ranking, the only thing that mattered is the time it takes to get a right answer.

But I agree that competitive programming can be a great exercise. Not just for the algorithm, but also for everything around the algorithm. For instance, you don't have time to waste parsing a list of integers. You have to get these parts right the first time almost without thinking, so that you can focus on the hard parts, like the algorithm. For example, if you are not confident that you parsed the input data correctly, you will lose time trying to figure out if you algorithm was wrong or if you fed it the wrong data.

No. The operation involves diffing snapshots to make a patch and then applying that patch. But a commit is still only ever a snapshot.

Like, is an ordinary file a patch? No of course not. But you can still turn it into a patch by diffing two files.

In the same way a commit is just a set of files. But you can turn it into a patch by diffing two commits.

> commit (/id) can mean a patch in some cases.

It doesn't. It means "which snapshot would you like me to turn into a patch by diffing with its parent snapshot?"

I am intrigued by the spreadsheet to control infrastructure bit.

Can you explain what this means, how would you control infra through spreadsheets? Is it something like terraform... You change a '1' to a '2' in a particular cell and some script queries that XLSX and notice the change and create a new EC2?
Not that interesting tbh. Not like Google is using Angular, for example.
Yes.

Un-wise super intelligent programmers are the worst. They come up with the most amazing roundabout way to achieve even the most mundane tasks, and consider complex code a mark of honour, rather than a pathology to be purged.

At some point people mature and realize that their job when writing code for work is not to concoct brilliant puzzles for next maintainer, but to do exactly the opposite. And then they reach the meta-level of realizing that simplifying things is actually just as hard and pleasing as puzzle-making, and they've reached a maturity in the quality their program design.

The worst kinds of programmers are those that plateau at the "Riddler" stage. They potentially are able carve themselves a nice safe niche, but the value they could have delivered could have been so much more if they'd ever matured. "Oh, that code... yeah, better call Edward ... it's his baby, supercomplex. Nobody seems to be smart enough to work in it except Mr. Nygma".

There are pieces of code that are potentially super-complex due to the intrinsic complexity of the problem space. But since for an outsider it's impossible to distinguish between the two, utmost empathy should be always used to introduce new people to such a thing.

People regularly claim that kids are terrified of climate change to the point of psychological harm.

This comes from both the "climate change is a hoax" and "we're all going to die" extremes of the debate and everywhere in between.

It’s harder to get finance as a co-operative, so it’s hardly a fair competition.

Well, that presupposes that patreon itself is the publisher and you as patron/payee are doing business with them and not with the author. Which is the same model that youtube uses. I have never been author on patreon, so i have no idea about their setup. If this is the case then obviously that is perfectly legal. The problem then becomes censorship because patreon then is the owner of the license for your work that they are selling themselves and giving you your cut. Quite a different business model but one that "protects" the identity of the author because they are essentially sub-contracotrs.

George Washington in his transfer of power farewell speech warned Americans to avoid factionalism, right? But never mind that. Our party base (true speaking for either franchise that extracts rents from the need for electoral viability now) are more patriotic than that dude.

Or we only have to outrun the slower party in order to successfully outrun the grizzly bear of being less best for the country. No other accountability applies for very long if your faction can still pull back ahead as the better one for some projective new future of America, but both factions by their own definition will always outrun the other in that shadow race.
This is the coolest bit of biotech I've seen lately because the approach feels very complete: custom cells so the device is self-regenerative, and an encapsulation system so it's protected from the immune system.

My biggest syntax gripe since starting out with Haskell is needing to introduce '$' at some point during a chain of '.':

I think it's fiber. Fiber has a moderating effect on uptake of food. Without it you get a rise in blood sugar, insulin response, and then glycogen is stored as fat.
Yes, but these are true artists that make one-off sales. It is not a business for them(not legally). Where you have no legal obligation to become a "business". Author on Patreon on the other hand cannot claim to be "opportunistic" seller. They make repeated sales there, therefore it is taxable income and therefore they must become a legal entity of some sort and abide by the legal and tax laws of the consumer tax law in their country of origin.
At first glance it looks like people have agency, but I think very often the root cause is "system traps".

Enshittification happens because to a certain extent, the market demands that firms maximise returns. Companies that don't do this get weeded out.

Climate change is a challenging co-ordination problem because nobody wants to tank their economy more than they have to, there's no real enforcement for "cheats" and even agreeing on an accounting basis is politically fraught. Politicians that don't grant concessions to powerful existing vested interests are less electable.

AI safety is predictably going to be a secondary priority when competition gets tight.
would agree. i don’t have kids myself but often get asked to watch people’s kids for extended times; half the time building trust is just being interested in what they are interested in. not even participating just asking questions and encouraging them to go get excited and share their excitement with you. pay attention, try to learn why they are into something and just share in their excitement.

i won’t try to claim it always works but at least for my experience just being someone who is safe for younger people to share their ideas and thoughts with (starting with the “lighter” thoughts) seems to make the foundation for the kids being more willing to ask the tough questions about life on their own or to listen when you do want to share your own thoughts.
I don't live in either of those countries. Plenty of apps aren't localised for every region, and plenty of people speak English as a second language. I can decide for myself whether I want to use your app or not, the App Store already tells me which languages it supports. English also happens to be my first language, but if it wasn't, I'd probably still prefer to use it instead of some automated translation.

Also sorry, but why would it take a week to release in the UK and Australia? You literally click a few buttons in App Store Connect, and you're done.

From someone who's released a few apps, keep in mind every localisation has to be updated whenever you make a release after changing your copy/UI and can considerably slow down early-stage development. It can be a great way to expand later on, but I'd be cautious about trying to support numerous languages out of the gate.

The article says they’re doing “showings” of the film, which makes me think that they don’t want it digitized, probably because the copyright is expired.

If they control all the copies, then they can charge people to watch it, even if the copyright is expired. If a copy leaks, though, then that revenue stream will dry up overnight.
the best case is that you make the firm a lot of money, and you were successful justifying your contribution and your deserved commiseration.

the least bad case is that you realize why nobody wanted to go ahead with your proposal in the first place but you caused no harm other than wasting several months of your own effort.

the worst case obviously is that you caused a huge amount of problems for the firm and people are aware of where those problems came from.
I love it. It's my favourite type of sweet but it's quite hard to find in the UK (not that I go to great lengths to find such things).

I find it funny that in British English we would call such a thing a "sweet" even though it's not actually very sweet (which is why I like it). Sweet is roughly equivalent to candy in American English, but with a notable exception: chocolate is not considered a sweet but falls instead into the broader category of confectionery.
