I've never, ever used aspirin in my entire life as far as I recall.

It's an NSAID, right? Which means it's bad for the stomach lining. So when I do have a high fever or a crushing headache, I'll use ibuprofen, which seems to me "stronger" than aspirin (I'm not a doctor, it's just how I perceive it). For short time, several days, and by the end I do feel my stomach saying "no more of this".

And when there's no need for "strong" NSAID, well then I won't use any at all. Maybe use paracetamol.

Either way I never got an use for aspirin.
I've mentioned this previously on HN. In the early 1960s when I was vaccinated at school we were done with a common needle that was used multiple times.

Nowadays it's a horrific notion and should never be done but back then the horrors of polio were so real and frightening that doing multiple vaccinations with one needle was of secondary importance (or so it seems). I've often wondered since how many cases of polio and hepatitis were actually spread back then by using a common needle (I've never understood why even back then doctors weren't concerned about this).

BTW, as I've mentioned previously, we kids were lined in the school's assembly hall in two long lines of over 100 that extended out the doors into the schoolyard—one line for boys and one for girls—and vaccinated immediately one after another. After every dozen or so kids the needle was changed.

It quickly got around that a new needle didn't hurt as much as a well-used one and we kids started jostling for positions in the line. We watched and counted how often the needle was changed then count our position in the line, we then we'd pay pennies to buy an optimal positions in the line (be first after the needle was changed). That being first was less risky never entered our minds.

At no time were we ever told about the dangers of sharing needles. As far as I am aware none of us got ill from that experience.

Incidentally, the whole school of about 1100 kids was vaccinated in about an hour and half—between the morning tea break and lunchtime. Compare that with the slow rigmarole of vaccination campaigns of today.

Why would everyone start using MAUI if there is a more robust community alternative around? They only develop this because they have resources to do so but no one really needs it.

It "just works" in the default configuration on traditional hardware, where plugging the headphones in does not result in the need to move streams to a "different" sound card. I have slightly unusual hardware in the form of a Dell Inspiron 7415 laptop (with its internal microphone and the headset microphone presented as two separate SOF cards), and there are two trouble points:

* The external microphone level is not saved/restored across the reboot, making the other party complain that my voice is clipping

* The echo canceller configuration is static - once loaded, it does not react to the headset plug/unplug events and always uses the same microphone.

In general, Hebrew with vowels (as it is usually taught to beginners) has well specified pronunciation. The emphasis is usually not written, which does occasionally leave a degree of freedom, but it’s much easier than English with its thousands of special cases (e.g. lower vs power, colonel in American English).

Everyday use does not use the vowels, and you are just supposed to know it or decide it from context - which is harder than in English, even though English has its share of difficulty here (e.g. the two ‘tear’s in “i shed a tear when I saw him tear the contract”)

And in case the missing vowels sound confusing - Hebrew and Arabic put vowels above and below the letters, not inline signaling like English.

No, people don't backlash against just "excessive modding". I have witnessed on several subs a belief that mods should never be able to lock a post of a question that comes up several times a week. The thinking goes, for example, that a person posting a discussed-to-death question isn't just looking for an answer to the question, but rather he/she is trying to socialize and feel part of a community. Therefore, mods who lock such posts are cruelly denying a person an outlet for socializing.

You write about developments on major subs, but those are just that, the major subs. Niche hobby subs, on the other hand, often don't see the level of moderation they actually need in order to retain knowledgeable contributors. People with a certain level of proficiency in a hobby will bail if the discussion is predominantly newbie questions or repetitive arguments.

The way it works.

You buy a house. It grows in value. You then use that value as a down payment on a bigger better house that you now pay as much as rent for monthly. And you multiplied your wealth and have a wonderful place to live.

When you retire you sell that house, buy your kids a down payment, and yourself a place in a low cost of living area. And now you enjoy the fruits of your life's labor till you die.

But this all relies on population growth and a lack of better housing options. A. K. A. House prices generally always go up.

>I suspect it isn't the parents that are lying to themselves...

I suspect some of them are genuinely happy they had kids, some others are lying to themselves, and some others lie to others because they don't want to become pariahs when it's found out that they wish they hadn't had kids.

You can read the opinions of the last group on some anonymous discussion forums; they're real people.

What the relative ratios of these 3 groups are, I have no idea, and I doubt there's any way of finding out.
Piotr Wozniak, inventor and author of spaced repetition algorithms (invented the SM-2 algorithm used by Anki around 1986), states quite clearly in his research that these algorithms are not designed for children under about 7 (of course super high IQ children's brains are different).

He reviewed a vast amount of performance data to conclude that, and hypothesized that children's brain before that age is not designed for remembering vast amounts of data, but instead learn through exploration and other natural, non-academic means.

That's the problem with Google Drive or any synced state clouds. People think about them as "I have it on my local computer and in the cloud, so I'm much safer".

A lot of bad things can happen that are even invisible to the user until they find out data is missing.

You save a file on a disk, something goes wrong with the cloud client, especially on bad connection and your file is either never synced (you will lose it on OS reinstall) or even deleted on your side.

Cloud provider has some issues, they restore the backup and things are synced back on your computer to their restored state.

Cloud provider started to dislike a file (their antivirus marked it), so they remove it from their side and it syncs to your computer. But that was a false positive (well, you could have your reasons to keep the infected file as well).

Ok, I know, at least for Google Drive their official client is pretty well written (I was using it for a long time), but bugs happen.

Conclusion? Make your own backup.

As they should. Even in situations where it should be applied, the burden of proof should be exceptionally high.
Some of those mouse (touchpad for me) gestures could be useful, like splitting a buffer in two. If it's the current buffer, C-x 2 and C-x 3 feel faster. If it's another one probably the gesture is faster. They are also easy to remember.

Some other gestures are puzzling, like

> Middle click to paste a link from the clipboard. (This is only for clarity, it’s unrelated to the actual action.) Then use a mouse gesture to git-clone from that link to a prespecified directory.

I wonder how many times per day one has to clone repositories before one could remember that the gesture for that exists and how to perform it in the right way. It takes training.

I clone repositories not every month, maybe I even spent at least one full year without cloning anything (long running projects.) But OK, I'm sure there are people that have to work with many different repositories at least every week.
> actual panic

Which initiated our booming prices 3 years ago. Prices have fallen back a little but saying they have dropped is not correct IMHO. I saw the panic with first home buyers beginning from a very dead market because I was buying just as the boom was starting and I have been trying to help friends buy over the last three years.

> If NZ is any future omen for what will happen next in Australia, then the fact NZ peaked and then retraced somewhat over the past 2 years

I wouldn't say that is what happened.

There was very little stock on the market in Christchurch a few months ago and numbers of houses sold per month deeply dropped - so market price was set by very few sales.

Property prices are back on the way up again - the market turned a few months ago I feel (I was trying to invest again so I was watching my market carefully).

It is actually difficult comparing the two countries because factors vary so much.

Above opinions are based on what I saw in Christchurch.
No it's not. Maybe if you're talking about a contest, but if you're talking about straight up exchanging cash for the jet like the kid tried, it's obviously a joke.

Even by your logic: Do you also think there was only one pair of sunglasses? One duffel bag? So why one jet?
Maybe, but I had at least 3 OLED phones till date, all with Samsung panels, and none had these bumps at any lighting condition, and I know because I like to peep at my displays to look for scratches.

Shock as New Zealand axes world-first smoking ban
I've found this fun way to think of it: the goal is to invent a faster form of evolution for pattern recognition, learning, and autonomous task completion. I think one needs to consider it more like biology and a science than pure logic and math. We can discover things that work, and then after that we can study them to learn why they work, just like we don't fully understand the brain yet.

I think there are some really cool problems, such as:

1. Is synthetic data viable for training?
2. How do you make deep learning agents that can do task planning and introspection in complex environments?
3. How do we efficiently build memory and data lookup into AI agents? And is this better/worse than making longer context windows?

The only way to break my addiction was to play through it. Due to skill and luck limitations I only got to somewhere in the last 3rd of the game, so I cloned the repo and modified the code so my characters where basically invincible from the beginning and played though it.
Other people have put it more eloquently and perhaps a bit more diplomatically, but you’re wrong.

I lived for 33 years before having a child and nothing - absolutely nothing - ever brought me more joy than something as simple as my daughter’s stupid grin when I’m on my back and she’s above me, ready to pounce.

While I’m sure not every parent feels the same way, I bet most do. I feel sorry for the people out there that would get the same feeling but will never experience it.
> giant ladder pulling mechanisms against current residents.

Wouldn’t metaphorically they’d be already on top of wherever they were climbing using ladder?

Also even with readjusted taxes they’d still be in a significantly better position because instead being “kicked to the curb” (which is nonsense) they be able to buy a house somewhere else with the significant payout they’d get after selling to those gazzilionaries.

At the end of the day in situations you’re describing you’d want more/higher density housing which prop 13 (amongst other things) directly discourages.

If real estate values in a given area increase significantly while it wouldn’t be fair from the perspective of the individual for the society as the whole it would be optimal for the inhabitants to sell their low-density homes and later rebuy apartments/etc. built on top of the same land.
It's like calculus, nothing new in the last years, is it still important? The answer is still "Yes".

>Google has proven over the years that its phones simply have way more issues than others.

As an Android user, I simply can't touch Google's phones no more. In the last few generations, they just haven't proven themselves to be a good and consistent HW manufacturer with a focus on delivering end-user-qulity, reliability and service.

Heck, even their SW is going down the drain. The number of bugs users encounter in Google's updates they push to the pixels seem to be infuriating.

Yeah, feature wise they're great with photography and AI and all that, but how much is that worth when the phone has premium prices but cell reception quality sucks because the modem is shit, battery life also is shit because of that, and SW is hit or mis buggy, HW quality and reliability is all over the place, etc.

The best phones ever release by Google were in the days they had external partners like HTC, LG build it for them (Nexus 5, etc). Present day Google as a company just doesn't have the same level of focus and amount of fucks given on making quality phones or any other product that's snot search/ads for that matter.

All in all, you can see why so many Android users got fed up and moved to iOS over time.
MobilePay (Danish payment system) is probably the main one I have left. The entire family is on either iMessage or Snapshot, but I could probably do with SMS or push a few of them to Signal, so not a huge lose there.

Everything else I have managed to move to my computer or replace with alternatives, but the payment one, it's basically the only way to transfer money to friends and family, that isn't a major hassle.

agreed. The loss of Apollo was a huge blow to the UX since the official Reddit app is hard to use and has poor design choices (in favor of business choices). Why would the official app have TINY up and down vote buttons? There are countless baffling decisions in the design & functionality in the official app.

Without an alternative to reddit, using the reddit app remains the way to stay informed & engaged in various niche reddit communities.

Anything from wadjet eye games is worth playing.

That said I feel the conflation of “demo+upgrade to full game” and “‘free’ game with unending pay to play” in the iOS App Store at least is miserable.

If I see an app that says “in app purchases” I ignore it as scamware unless there’s been some review I saw elsewhere. This is of course a problem AppStores could fix if they cared.

I don’t think that’s true. Certainly not relative to inflation/nominal income growth.
