I used to have tinnitus. I suppose I still technically do, but it appears much more rarely, and when it does, I can make it stop entirely in just a few seconds. So I'm basically "free" of it these days.

Two things I learned over the years:

1. Tinnitus seems related to dopaminergic neurotransmission (or faults thereof.)

I have ADHD, but I didn't know it until I was an adult. Growing up, I would often get episodes of tinnitus. After being medicated for ADHD, these episodes became much more rare, and also exclusively now only occur at the end of the day, when my meds are half worn-off already.

I've seen many journal papers correlating tinnitus to various dopaminergic dysfunctions. For example, people who develop tinnitus in old age are apparently also more likely to develop parkinsonism, and vice-versa.

If you've noticed that you're developing tinnitus, then you might want to raise the possibility with your GP that you could have some undiagnosed problem with dopamine. Get screened for ADHD if you haven't; get tested for Parkinson's if you're the right age; etc. If it turns out that you have one of these chronic diseases and didn't know it — well, treating it on its own will probably change your life, but it'll potentially also help your tinnitus!

2. However, tinnitus also seems related to some physical process in the ear.

I've learned that, when the high-pitched ringing starts in one ear, I can instantly stop it — not just push it into the background, but literally silence it like pressing "stop" on an alarm — by using my finger to essentially plunge my ear: putting my finger into my ear canal just deeply enough and then twisting, resulting in a pressure seal like in-ear earbuds try to achieve; and then lightly — but quickly — pushing and pulling the trapped air-pressure in and out inside the ear canal, using the finger. After doing this for about 30 seconds (during which the tinnitus won't seem to change), my eardrum and ear canal both begin to feel warm. Once that happens, I then unplug the finger from my ear. At the moment I do, the tinnitus stops.

Presumably, the "plunging" action is in turn flexing my eardrum inward and outward. Basically it's acting like high-amplitude 1Hz infrasound. I'm not sure what this does that helps, but it certainly does help, consistently.

(If you're wondering: I've also had otitis media before, so I know what the sensation of my eustachian tube being blocked with fluid/crud, creating a pressure imbalance of the middle ear, feels like; and what unplugging the eustachian tube + rebalancing that pressure feels like. This isn't that! It's entirely an interaction between my finger, my eardrum, and maybe the bones of the middle ear. My ears are currently 100% clear of detritus on either side of the eardrum according to a recent ENT visit — and yet this procedure still works.)
I've never worked with anybody else that uses it, so my uses have settled on things that don't require much interaction with other workflows: taking my own notes in org-mode, and general text editing/viewing (config files, batch files, plain text files, logs, etc.).

I do use a Perforce minor mode to simplify checking files out and examining file history.

I have a helper function to paste image from clipboard into org document (save as timestamped png file somewhere sensible document-relative, insert link into document), so it's somewhere safe and I can add per-image notes and so on. I do this when I'm building up sets of screen grabs to later paste into Teams/Jira/Confluence/Slack and the like.

That's about it. Main remaining annoyance that I'd like to fix is a way of exporting an org section as Markdown, so I can paste anything interesting into Slack and have the formatting come out sensible.

For programming, professionally I've never used it all that much. It's much simpler all round to use whatever the rest of the team is using, which these days typically means Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code, and both are workable. I get enough value out of the zero-effort code browsing/code completion/integrated debugger/etc. that I don't mind dealing with the not-quite-as-nice editing experience and ropey UI. I can always (and often do) load a file into Emacs if I have some specific editing task I'd like to do.

(In the past I have used it a bit for working with stuff like MEL/MaxScript and proprietary/in-house stuff that's generally poorly supported by text editors. Not too hard to cobble together something workable in Emacs. I haven't had to do this recently though.)
We'll have to agree to disagree there.

Why do American unions never demand higher import tariffs?

Sounds like you sort of agree, given you agree with my back office caveat. Sure it's some percent, maybe even a third of apps that could get by with that, but it's far from the majority.

I can point to a ton of RN apps that have incredible UX and surprisingly nice animations/interactivity, with what I'd argue is much easier to work with codebases. Maybe I'm biased, but the Uniswap app is really nicely done with all sorts of native views. They shipped the Android version of their app in just a few months, sharing 95% of the code with iOS.
I interpreted that to mean that the demonstration unit is some kind of prototype that significantly differs from what they are planning to build, i.e. they've shown that it works but it's not in its final form.

Some years ago I visited the Transatlantic Cable Station on Valencia Island off the west coast of Ireland, from where the first submarine telegraph cable was laid to Newfoundland in 1857. After several attempts the cable reached Newfoundland in 1866.

Before that moment the fastest way to get a message from Europe to America was aboard a ship; two weeks or so. After that it could be sent over a cable with Morse code.

So you don't need javascript for any of that anyway ;)
Yep, although Rust manages to get there just fine with sum types and fallible conversion traits.
I figure the preference in syntax is a trade-off between how hard it is to learn and how hard it is to read day-to-day.

More regular and verbose syntax is easier to learn, but requires more actual reading when you use it.

More concise but complex syntax takes longer to internalize, but then you can see more at a glance, so it lets you do more visual pattern matching and puts less strain on working memory.
Let's not conflate the free market, capitalism, and 'capitalist-ism'.

I'm not sure I follow your terminology.

Unregulated markets are not, in theory or practice, efficient and do not work out to be free markets; they are controlled by the few for their purposes. Government can regulate markets to provide free markets, reducing barriers to entry and requiring competition; they also can provide safety and public good by preventing harm to the public by fraud or injury. Another way to think of it is that power (over the market) is conserved; the question is, who has it, a few participants acting in their interests or the people acting in theirs? A well-regulated market is better and freer for almost all participants than an unregulated one.

Regulation is not socialism; socialism is the collective or government ownership of economic assets. For example, the US government regulates GM, Ford, etc., but does not own them.

Capitalism is ownership of economic assets by private entities, called capitalists.

Translation is the only reason I still break out Chrome now and then.

Firefox finally sort of has it, but it's not that good. Often it won't believe you that the page is in another language, so you can't translate at all, even by trying to force it. The translations can be weird and miss parts of the page.

I'm sure it'll get better, though, and once it does, I can delete Chrome entirely.
Huh. I figure it the other way. If the traffic is light, then people think they're the only person on the road. I expect they will change lanes without thinking or looking (Like, _Why would someone be in my blind spot with all of this space?_)

Whereas, when there's heavier traffic, you can't help being in someone's blind spot. In this case, I will usually speed up to being at least next to them, so I'm sure they can see me, and then I'll let the driver pass me, so the last idea they have is, _I just passed that moto/where is that moto I just passed?_

Overall, being in someone's blind spot is by definition, risky. And it serves no purpose, and has a clear remedy. Whatever. Ride you ride.

Good luck. Keep your head up.
The <dialog> element actually has deep support at this point, and the polyfill for the few percent of your users on 2021-era Firefox or Safari is totally fine. I highly recommend the element if you're making modals; the accessibility gains are fabulous.
Glad to see that, with no corporatist boycott or so-called whistleblowing from groups of "beach friends," Meta is taking appropriate steps against the disinfo -- i.e. propaganda -- that is actually real and actually causes harm. Let's just hope this time around they don't let corrupt FBI agents unilaterally delete links to news articles either.
Has yours been improving at all? Mine started (just in the left ear) about 48hrs after my 3rd Pfizer shot and remained loud for ~8months. Several months of noticeable dissipation followed by true silence at about the 1-year mark. Thought I was in the clear but it's started again out of nowhere this fall. I'm optimistic it will improve again and can probably be controlled with better lifestyle habits but at this stage is something I feel I will be managing forever. I've seen ENT's and audiologists but they're unable to help past confirming my inner ear and hearing are fine. In 2022 John Stewart had some infectious disease experts on his podcast and one of the epidemiologists stated that he got tinnitus from his 2nd vaccine, and his 3rd exacerbated it. It was at that point that I realized it had to be somewhat common.
Yes. Use it for Rust, Typescript, a little Python, Deno, bash, terraform, etc. Three of us (out of like 12) use emacs. We’ve also got vimmers. Most people use vscode. We check in shared editor configs, including .dir-locals.el for emacs.

Here we are in 2023 still battling with forms (see comments about datalist and color picker) and general UX for users entering data.
It blows my mind.
Why this isn't a solved space is beyond me.

An attempt was made to tackle this once and for all with XForms, but it never got implemented in browsers.
Instead we have virtually all CSS/JS component frameworks provide their own limited set of form elements with different semantics.

Let's not forget the popularity of Instagram and tik tok both of which are basically carousels wrapped in an app. The problem with carousels is the expectation that they deliver more content than a simple visual (links, calls to action, paragraphs of text etc.).

How can the company state the following:

Then, also have this:

Being a tech company, having in-office requirements seems pretty exclusionary and myopic given the success companies realized with remote workforces over the last couple of years.

Making in-office an optional consideration, or having people meeting biannually/quarterly, would open up your candidate pool quite a bit more.

I think an inversion table might help my tinnitus slightly maybe but not much… it mostly helps and puts tension on the lower back, and a lot less on the neck. Inversion, or lumbar traction, seem to help with sciatica. (And yeah, that’s another one where it seems like there’s an interaction between muscles and nerves.)

Finally; I’d always wondered what the buzz is all about
I can’t find anything indicating there’s any difference in bioavailability between hot and cold water, or that it’s a concern at all.

I’d just assume whichever has less lead in it is what I’d rather drink. If the hot water tank is removing lead from the supply and trapping it, I think I’d rather use it for cooking. (Of course I’m not trying to drink warm water out of the tap in any case. )

And in any case what this study is measuring seems to have little relation to what you actually want you know. But I’d guess you’re right, the hot water tank is probably removing some lead (hence the higher concentration) but not enough to matter much.

I strongly suspect the people who say you shouldn’t drink hot water are just parroting something that may be entirely mumbo jumbo, or may be true in some instances for homes with older plumbing but not anymore.

I’ve replaced all the plumbing between the street and my kitchen with Pex so there’s no solder after the water heater. (Perhaps hot water does dissolve more lead from that, though I still have a hard time believing it is significant.)

It wouldn't be good for security. But I fundamentally believe that user freedom—the ability to do what big tech would rather they did not, such as adblocking—fundamentally depends on sideloading. You simply can't have one without the other. You're trusting the vendor to decide which software is safe, but that vendor will inevitably also consider which software makes them money.

On platforms where sideloading is either impossible (iOS) or usual (Android), adblockers are completely inaffective. The gatekeepers simply don't allow them to exist. This is true even though the maker of iOS ostensibly (!) isn't ad supported.

> I'm also not sure if sideloaded extensions can receive automatic updates

They can't (at least without some external software), which is why the ability to load remote Javascript would be important. For less frequent updates, they could prompt the user.
I like how the article did its best to bury the lede that the crux of the discussion was how to better understand and manage these new technologies. To quote the panel prompt "[T]here are some real-world fears and ethical questions that need to be asked. Just because we can, should we?"

Isn't this exactly the type of discussion we want happening in a public forum?
From an economic perspective: The market is not fully efficient, and it's a horrible assumption to pretend that it is (akin to asserting P = NP). Business/capitalist thought deliberately embraces this when setting out to find/create market inefficiencies (eg "build a moat"), but then feigns the opposite when criticized. At best we can say it's efficient to some epsilon, but this epsilon is nowhere near negligible at human(e) scales.

Legal rights/entitlements are essentially a form of non-fungible wealth that resists the common pattern - being turned into an "asset class", centralized, and packaged up into recurring rent streams collected from wider society. It remains an open question whether the overall trend would be so strongly towards centralization without the continual government handouts powering the financial industry (witness all the whinging about interest rates existing again). But unless that dynamic is actually reformed then non-fungible guarantees seem like a necessary backstop for maintaining distributed power throughout society.

Not really. It's been inferred from the text by courts, but it's been a bit of a leap, and the Supreme Court can overturn the earlier interpretations at any time. "Many originalists, including most famously Judge Robert Bork in his ill-fated Supreme Court confirmation hearings, have argued that no such general right of privacy exists."

I’ll take the other side here. First, ok you were right in that the redwoods of big basin seem very healthy right now. I was swayed personally, as a layperson, by the following argument: it’s possible that current wildfires differ from past wildfires in heat and intensity because of human factors like climate change and too much fire suppression. I hope I was NOT one of the people you felt ridiculed by, my only hope was that the notion be considered with some seriousness and rigor. It still seems possible to me that future wildfires operate differently than those of the past, and I still would favor cautious conservation policies in that regard.
