Do people who get pacemakers or cochlear implants or organ transplants need counselling or is it just not a problem for most people?

I personally never found them to be weird or scary. I think they're really cool, though the closest I get to a prosthesis was hearing aid, which is a wearable, not something implanted into me.

The real 'horror' is not having a leg and being unable to move. I experienced debilitating pain in one of my legs before, and the inability to walk really suck. Imagine how much more it would suck if you permanently lost a leg.

Yea, very normal response to dropping someone into an edit page on GitHub. That option works really well for typos

I put three links on my site pages

1. edit page

2. Open issue for page (autofill some details like page name in the subject)

Sounds like you put my 2 here
It wasn't intended to be mean. I meant it more in the sense that they seem hire permanent staff more to manage existing services rather than do the more "challenging" green field work – which they seem to typically outsource to external agencies and contractors. Generally the skillsets are a little different and you tend to need less senior roles for the former. But that might just my experience working on public contracts.

Also, just as a side point, I sometimes struggle to understand how to say things sensitively, I think because I'm not the spectrum. However I seem to get very distressed when I do hurt people compared to the average person. Thanks for calling me out here though, I'll try to think more about how I word things.
You could make the same argument backwards though - many people may find it easier to do deep copies rather than throwing extra software they might not necessarily be familiar with.
The metrics are complex and ill understood, because few people can make the comparison you have.

The thing that jumps out to me about life in the USA is how much time you spend maintaining it rather than living it. Chasing down bills for health care, until recently a lack of autopay, steady stream of paperwork and decisions from the schools…just a million fine-grained decisions and responsibilities when compared to other advanced economies.

I used to feel it was because I have more choices in the US, but some sectors here like telecom or travel are much less competitive than OECD norms.

No place is perfect, of course. But I am in SV because I love the work environment, not the quality of life in the USA which I consider flat and exhausting compared to the other countries I’ve lived in.
This is true, and I think it’s driving a lot of generational backlash because a lot of younger people are realizing they may never be able to afford to have a commute under an hour, or paid well enough to ignore the mounting costs of that lifestyle, especially as a lot of the infrastructure costs are going up sharply to deal with maintenance.
With it being modular there's always the potential for CPU upgrades in the future. But yes, it's much less performant than a modern x86 or Apple Silicon device. Performance isn't the primary goal, though admittedly it would be nice.

This will of course never happen but imagine if there were an M1 CPU module for it.

Qualcomm is maybe more realistic but from what I've heard it seems like they won't even talk to you if you're not ordering in huge quantities.

For the image widths, there is some CSS fine-tuning that is still needed on the arXiv HTML side. I think that will get fixed soon, just needs the right height directive set.

Getting subfigures emulated via flexbox is one of our more recent LaTeXML enhancements, and still has some ongoing work (working on it today actually). It can be a bit finicky to test - there are easily 20 different ways people can write LaTeX for subfigures in arXiv.
Needed to get data out of a CRM system for specific printed orders - when it was printed, who processed it, what was on the order etc.

The process of authenticating with the CRM was complex and there wasn't a way to get anything at print time and most of the data was stored all over the place.

But I found the printed report knew almost everything I wanted, and you could add web images to the paperwork system. So I added a tiny image with variable names like "{order_number}.jpg?ref={XXX}&per={YYY}" and then one for each looped product like {order_number}/{sku}.jpg?count={X}&text=..." etc. After a few stupid issues (like no support for https, and numbers sometimes being european format) it was working and has remained solid ever since. Live time stamped data, updates if people print twice, gives us everything we wanted just by a very silly method.
They are. It's only the federally-backed student loans that are difficult to discharge.
I look at these apps occasionally, and I've even tried a few of them. In the end, I find them to just be overkill. Give me a simple text editor, and I put the text files where the information belongs.

Using fancy apps, where you can do formatting, place links, etc? I spend too much time futzing with all that stuff and less time actually getting stuff done.
They only need those people in fundraising/public and research role to boost the college rankings.

Ehh we here in US got better things to do with taxes like spending it to build another fighter jet so we can send it to the Middle East in the name of Freedom . I am told you guys in Western Europe enjoy your stability because of the “freedom” we bring for all of you at the cost of our own healthcare , worker protections and social safety net. Look we are martyrs.

*my brother in law lives in Germany making less than half of what I make and I still envy his lifestyle . He and his wife are going on a 20 day trip to Greece and I am on-call over the holidays . But I make more than double and have my “freedom” and supposed choice of where my tax dollars go.

He's an atheist psychiatrist. However, he enjoys how natural selection, social dynamics and reputation can also be modeled by the moral rules of most religions. For example, going to therapy isn't that different from practicing confessions in a church.
In Norway we distinguish between offshore and onshore GDP [1]. The ool income goes straight into the oil fund and that does not invest in Norway and neither does a large amount of the income generated from it get spent in Norway.

So yes, there is an alternative, just do the statistics properly.

> But even in the tiny victory of forcing a recall based on human factors, NHTSA has contributed in its small way to the growing understanding that Tesla’s claims about their technology are untrue and unsafe. Musk has been arguing since 2019 that Tesla’s self-driving technology was progressing so fast that adding driver monitoring wouldn’t make sense, and any human input would only introduce error into the system. After giving him four years worth of the benefit of the doubt, NHTSA is at long last calling the bluff.
"A Cyborg Manifesto" (Donna Haraway, 1985) makes the argument that we are already cyborgs.

I think I agree, at least with that point. We're extremely intertwined with technology.

- We might be born from cells mashed together in a lab. The cells might be taken from people we'll never meet.

- We selectively get rid of embryos with unwanted characteristics.

- We implant devices that control fertility, electric impulses in the heart, hormone levels like insulin.

- Our limbs are replaced by electromechanical devices that sometimes link up directly to our nerves.

- Our sensory organs are augmented in various ways. Our eyes are reshaped using lasers. Our hearing is amplified by hearing aids, and sometimes added to people that didn't even have working hearing in the first place by directly interfacing a device with our auditory nerve.

- A large part of our daily lives take place on a separate plane of reality built on top of a planet-wide network.

- Much of our communication is now electronic.

- We created a new form of intelligence, in our own image. It can be think in ways that are similar to us. Is it our offspring?

Looks like they support SVG paths, so you could roll your own with a wrapper function.
I wrote a Python package [1] that does something similar! It allows the generation of images from HTML+CSS strings or files (or even other files like SVGs) and could probably handle PDF generation too.
It uses the headless version of Chrome/Chromium or Edge behind the scenes.

Writing this package made me realize that even big projects (such as Chromium) sometimes have features that just don't work. Edge headless wouldn't let you take screenshots up until recently, and I still encountered issues with Firefox last time I tried to add support for it in the package. I also stumbled upon weird behaviors of Chrome CDP when trying to implement an alternative to using the headless mode, and these issues eventually fixed themselves after some Chrome updates.

Ease of maintenance, as Tomte mentioned.When you have multiple configurations for different sites, it is simpler to isolate the specifics to each site to their own files.

If you're just standing up a single, simple site with Apache, it can be 'easier' to do so with the basic config. Once you get into production environments, the Debian framework is something to be thankful for.
You're right. It's not about how much money is available. It's always about the choices of where they spend it and those choices rarely benefit the citizens, somewhat ironically.

I think it’s possible to have credentials for each environment. But that’s only as of Rails 6. They may be running older versions (it seems).

What a strange statement. Are they under any such pressure today? (I assume you mean exogenous pressure). They already choose the students they want.
No. It's like if teller allowed you to make a boa account as well. As if this one small feature makes it some egregious criminal activity.

TFA mentions that Twitter, TikTok, and Pinterest all sanitize U+202E. Sanitizing it in WhatsApp would be a nice fix.
I use a Pi with an add-on sound board, mpd and a bit of custom code that effectively acts as a cut-down ncmpc (the protocol is really simple). The nice bit is using a cheap RF remote [0] to control mpd (sets volume, skip forward/back/pause etc) which has the advantage that it works under the covers at night.

> My point is that this sort of thing doesn't happen so lightly in other ecosystems.

React has been around for 10 years (almost 11 since we're a few days away from 2024). Many of the ecosystems you're holding up as the epitomes of stability have had their fare share of large scale changes in that same time frame. Remember go before generics, or Rust before async landed [1]? Elixir's Phoenix didn't even have its first commit when React was released [2].

> there is no equivalent of useContext for class components

Class components can still use context [3]. They obviously can't use the useContext hook, because class components aren't compatible with hooks, but that's kind of a tautology.

> you didn't have to use ReactHooks, but try using Apollo client or react-query without them now, or try finding any non-hooks documentation in general.

Library authors moved to hooks because sharing stateful logic was difficult before hooks. I never bought into the GraphQL hype train, but I remember there being a ton of verbose render props necessary to make GraphQL libraries like Apollo work before hooks. I don't think anyone really complained about data fetching libraries adopting hooks. You could argue that the react devs should have created the perfect library in 2013 complete with hooks, but I can forgive them for not having perfect foresight. Like I said, if an API changes occasionally over a decade I'm ok with it. Technology should be stable, not frozen.

That was the initial idea, but it failed because Whatsapp traffic is end to end encrytped. The second idea, which actually worked, was to put a breakpoint in Whatsapp while running in an emulator.

Biden is likely to go down in history as one of the great modern presidents. It's easy to do well when dealt a good hand, but it takes real skill to force a draw when dealt a losing hand.
Because of the number of interfaces in the environment, there are a near infinite number of edge cases. The mail point is that because we evolved a theory of mind with humans, we can more reliably narrow that number of edge cases with human drivers without having to experience it first. Having an AV learn those edge cases bears some risk, and that risk may be carried by unwilling members of society.
I was thinking of user surveys. There was a Slate Star Codex/Astral Codex Ten article that goes through different ADHD medications, and those who take Desoxyn report being happier with their medications performance.

This. And also adjusted on what you get for your tax money. (Say, median income after taxes, health care, student loans and pension savings.) And adjusted for the amount of holidays you have.
I’ve entirely lost any semblance of a point you might have had initially. You’re doubling down on a weak stance making hyperbolic claims like “our infrastructure can’t handle cars leaving a safe following distance”. What nonsense!

It’s more effective to let your initial point stand and let the discussion run its course. You’re working against yourself now.

About twenty five years ago on a visit to an out of the way place in northern China I was able to see a demonstration of Mongolian horse riding skill. The target audience was the local tourists.

The performers looked like ill-dressed scrawny young adults, male and female. All well shorter than the typical person of northern European background. They were riding equally scrawny looking ponies in an arena about the size of a hockey rink. The kids did stuff like ride standing on the pony as it galloped around the field, then would flip to be sideways on the horse, with the body of the pony completely blocking them from one side. They'd fire arrows at full gallop, hiting tiny targets as they would abruptly change direction.

That's when my understanding of Atilla the Hun and Ghenghis Khan went beyond what I'd read in books.
I blame social media algorithms for the hyper polarization insanity. They run the discourse now.

“Own the libs” and unhinged Trump cultism on one side and “virtue spiraling” and toxic negativity on the other are what maximizes engagement. If it’s negative, offensive, triggering, or insane it goes to the top of the queue because it keeps people on the site arguing and raging.

Social media is a toxic destructive industry. I call them “tobacco companies of the mind.” If Musk finally kills Twitter he will be a hero. He should buy Instagram or TikTok after that.
What is the flaw exactly? Or you mean that "deep" is just a better/more well-known name?

Yes, there is also this nice story to illustrate this:

Two economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit.

The first economist says to the other “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit.

They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit.

Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, "You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. I can't help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing."

"That's not true", responded the second economist. "We increased the GDP by $200!"

It's just a couple of buffers - the 10k/1k sets the gain at 0.1, shorting the 10k's would make it 1x. The two op-amps with outputs tied together with 1 ohm are just creating a virtual ground (effectively paralled to double the current handling).

I can't see how this could reduce 'hiss' if it there's something wrong in the first place,all seems very unlikely though. Possibly it eliminates hum (which mobile devices are generally hideous for, when charging) but the details are likely to be setup-dependent. Or maybe RF is leaking out of the phone causing the hiss in those particular headphones, and all this is doing is stopping that.

What really annoys me is that we use meaningless phrases that become 'fashionable'.

For instance: "User-Friendly". Just what does "user-friendly" really mean?

Somebody, somewhere on the net once said that you could replace every single instance of "user-friendly" with the phrase "lemon-scented" and the meaning of that particular sentence wouldn't change in the slightest.
I've worked here nearly 20 years. This city has the worst political CYA culture due to the auto industry. And, that mentality pervades our daily life. It's foolish to think that it will just go away. We are barely an engineering town. We engineer with raw manpower, using 10 engineers to do the job of 2. And, we're abysmal at software. The culture of Detroit is not compatible with startups. Maybe banking. Maybe industrials. Not high-tech. Let's not even talk about how badly the state is run.

I’ve always found modern Lenovo laptops to have a proper Windows integration - you can install a fresh copy of Windows 10/11 and the OS will automatically find and install drivers (and even BIOS) updates via the standard update mechanism.

In fact, I only recommend/buy Lenovo laptops for family members now and reinstall stock Windows for them to remove all possible bloatware without losing any hardware support.
Yeah the board I ordered just splits them to 4 M.2 sockets.

My intent is to fill them with SSDs and use it as a NAS & Plex server. Or at least trial that and see how it goes.

Right now I'm using an old (2011) Mac Mini for this, and it's fine, but just one SSD drive, and I'm guessing the power consumption on this will be lower.

One can define a dichotomy of those technologies that improve human capability and those that deplete it. For example the fountain pen allows one to be a better calligrapher than a feather quill. On the other hand modern typesetting lets you produce equally beautiful letterforms with no calligraphic skill whatsoever. So much so that in the west calligraphy is virtually extinct.

A great deal of external technology, like automobiles, attenuates human natural capability.
