I would suggest that you try taking a more modern approach to history that focuses more on learning about the subject while trying to see things without biases. Your value judgments about the Romans and the Greeks are where things fall apart for you, and they're unnecessary since there's actually no benefit in making that class of value judgment. If you could free yourself from that kind of thinking, and work as much as possible with evidence based reasoning about the past, I think you'd fare better in this domain.
The way I interpret the comment, it says this:

A. [explicit claim; humorous] Analytics confirm that, if you show people whether products are in stock locally, they won't buy those products on your website.

B. [by implication] This is bad, because it "lowers" your sales. So you can't display this information.

C. [by implication] The retailers are making a mistake - the reason people don't buy products on the website when availability information is displayed is that they go to the store and buy the product there.

D. [summing up] If you measure something you don't care about, you will end up doing things that make you look like an idiot.

It's not helped that the messenger is a highly polarising source that piggybacks on the facts to a) attack the mainstream media as unpatriotic liars and b) downplay the severity of climate change that they've been actively denying, because of the success of policies they've actively fought against at every turn.
Everyone has an agenda, so it’s a good thing to discuss exactly what the competing agendas could be, and whether they are nefarious.

NPR makes money by publishing articles, so obviously they will make more money by publishing content that people are likely to read. Those articles can be in some arbitrary continuum between fluff articles with sensationalistic headlines (aka clickbait) to highly technical articles with tons of references and/or transparently-documented original research. I’d put this one more towards the latter: the intended audience isn’t highly technical, so it includes approachable interviews with key people, but links to the more technical research are clearly called out. Importantly, the substance of the lede is mostly backed up by the supporting research.

On the other hand we have an industry with deep connections to the oil industry that, according to the article, has used a well-known playbook of disinformation to stop or reduce regulation of their industry in multiple areas, with apparent success. States have recently passed laws to protect them, and the article also cites regulation that has been stopped or changed. The article also cites the health impact of natural gas and gases that are created by burning it, with general population statistics and studies about specific groups of people. It also cited evidence that the gas industry has funded research to combat these studies, and hidden the fact that this research was funded by them. Their motive for doing this would obviously be the negative impact that regulation could have on their ability to make a profit, which could impact jobs, the price of appliances, or even the choice of products that are available for purchase.

Add in the background noise of trillions in subsidies to oil and gas companies, the almost complete capture of the leasing agency in the Federal government back in the early 2000s, and the chronic underfunding and understaffing of inspectors, and it _seems_ really obvious who is actually “winning” in this struggle.

Am I missing something? Because the facts as I understand them seem to indicate an industry playing the regulatory capture and PR game on level 1000, while the regulators are playing with both hands behind their back, blindfolded.
I just cleaned out my build folders and did a full build. 40M+ lines, 3 mins and 35 seconds. If you're not getting similar speed then maybe you should look into adding more machines. Last time I was on game dev the best you could do was share other programmers machines via incredibuild. No thought about adding more machines just for building or using cloud infra

It shouldn’t. They’ve done this and similar multiple times now, got downvoted for pointing it out in another thread. Apple is not acting in good faith here. Some beancounter determined it would be cheaper to steal the tech than acquire the company so they decided to do the wrong thing for the wrong reason.

I’ve yet to hear anyone even attempt to defend their behavior with a cogent argument.

There is a lot of disagreement towards this idea in the thread, but I really like this project suggestion for someone to make a multi-faceted project that'll help someone "grow up" and it resonates with something I've long felt missing from comp sci education: that it doesn't focus enough on studying and replicated big successful projects.

You mostly learn by doing, true, but you learn by copying what the masters did. Software engineering education feels more like taking classes and writing code for exercises, whereas it probably should have more projects of the form "study this complicated-implementation-of-X and use those techniques in your implementation of Y", where x = google search, postgresql, whatevers and y is a complicated project [for one person or a small team] like your own single concurrent user search engine

I've held this idea for a really long time, in fact, I've not actually looked at comp sci education recently, so maybe this isn't true anymore, or maybe it never has been
Yes, addition and multiplication over the infinite naturals. I don't think it's obvious that all three of these are needed together for all interesting applications. For instance, various types of finitism eliminate the infinities.

My problem is more about how to get started and use certain scientific libraries. Maybe I just need to dive in. I keep getting detered though when I find out that simple things like iterating through a text file seem to take up so much code. Then I need a dictionary and somehow have to figure out how to get that. Not trying to whine. It's going to be a lot of work though lol.
Disclaimer: I am not a medical doctor. This is my understanding.

You need a certain level of sodium in you - typically around 135-145 mEq/L. The body expects this level in a similar fashion to the way it expects a certain temperature, it’s where it works best and as you go farther away from this optimal value, the body starts to suffer. My wife’s level was 121.

In fact the body can manage reasonably well over a wider range, as long as the value changes slowly, slowly because the level of sodium controls, via osmotic potential, transport across the blood/brain barrier.

So the hospital should have added a maximum of 6-8 mEq/L per day into my wife’s bloodstream via intravenous saline. That would have given her body time to adjust, slowly, to the new sodium concentrations. Instead they initially gave her 13 mEq/L in 12 hours, and then another 6 mEq/L in the next 12 hours, by their own test results. She went clinically non-responsive (ie: near-comatose) for 2 days after they did that.

Sudden sodium changes can result in edema (which can be fatal) or osmotic demyelination - the myelin sheath being a wrapper around nerve cells that allows rapid electrical transmission from nerve to synapse. Losing the myelin is “a bad thing”, see Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis etc.

She woke up after they tried to “reboot her brain” and gave her Prozac, then discharged her because she could “walk” with a walker for help. They subsequently put her on benzodiazaprenes in the (9? I lose track) times we came back to ER over the next month or so. She’s still struggling to get off those, though she has halved the dose they prescribed (1mg Ativan every 4 hours).

We can’t even sue the hospital, because we spent the last 9 months trying desperately to figure out what went wrong and if it can be fixed, and we only got 6 months to file any dispute because it’s a county hospital. I spell it out as simply as I can above, but finding out what went wrong was a gradual thing. We have appealed this, but I don’t hold out much hope.

All told, I am singularly unimpressed with the American “healthcare” system to date.
Except that inflation has gone down as fast as it went up. The Fed has paused rate increases to see if what they have already done is enough. The talk of lowering rates is because the Fed doesn't want to overshoot on the way down.

> FSL could try is to "reclaim" "source-available"

All the adults in the room realise that "source available" is just an accurate descriptor for what they do, but sentry won't accept anything without the term "open source" in it. They view themselves as open source and the fact that they don't use an open source license is merely an incidental thing they do to deal with some of the challenges of being open source. Instead of admitting their position, they seek to change the definition of open source to match what they are doing.

> The best advice I can give to people embroiled in one is to care less about "technically category X" if at all possible.

I think there is nothing technical about FSL being source available. Open source is about being communally built and communally owned. Everyone contributes and everyone is free to profit. By contrast, this is a license where everyone is free to contribute but only the owner is free to profit. The only difference is that two years after the owner stops profiting, the software opens up to everyone else.

Source available is honestly better for everyone than closed source, and sometimes even better than open source. The only really bad thing you can do is use a source available license while misleading people into thinking you're open source, because you are taking their work under false pretence.

A few days back I'd signed up for Plume's waiting list. However, I wasn't aware that you were also the creator of an existing app.

I have a few questions for you. I apologize if some (all?) of them are too aggressive.

What were your reasons for creating a new project rather than focussing on the existing project? Technical debt?

What will be the pricing of the new app? Will it be open-source?

Lastly, will Notes be maintained by you to a lesser degree upon the release of Plume? Will you let the community take over? Will nothing change?
As someone who strongly regrets the fact that most programming languages arbitrarily restrict valid identifiers to Unicode "word characters" (ID_START and ID_CONTINUE), I was pleasantly surprised to discover the other day that, like Racket, Clojure, Julia and Swift, you can use emojis and pretty much any Unicode symbols in C++ identifiers!
Absolutely not. My working / lab notes capture raw thoughts, often abbreviated and with shortcuts taken. Others would have trouble gleaning much meaning from them, with so many scratched out words, wildly drawn arrows, and peculiar diagrams.

Take my raw notes, rewrite them for another audience, and post those on Notion? Maybe. But it's likely a different document (an essay, tutorial, FAQ) could be rewritten out of my notes, one which would be more useful for my teammates.
As a grad student I have an “official” lab notebook which sits on my lab bench and has all my technical details etc. I also have what I affectionately call my “real” lab notebook which is a stack of loose printer paper at my office desk, full of scribbles, designs, math, random planning and thoughts.

I plan to get it bound and call it my “real” thesis.
What! No way!
The important point is that the raw notes are for the note-taker. They not only document what you thought, they are themselves a part of and tool for the thinking process. Writing is thinking[1], and the initial results aren't going to be very useful for someone else, because they'll be rambling and messy, with lots of false starts, errors, and just wrong ideas. They're for the author to remember the path to the outcome[2], they are not the outcome itself.

For the rest of the team, those raw notes are source material. That can be the input into lightweight documents like technical memos and decision records.

The Dutch system is largely private with a very reasonable out of pocket/copay each year. This year, it’s around 450€ per person. In a calendar year, you cannot, by law, be charged more than your premium + this out of pocket max per year. For minors, all coverage is completely free until they turn 18, including comprehensive dental.

Limiting the US spending per citizen to roughly $2k/year per adult seems impossible in the current climate. It should happen but it won’t. If current health spending trends are to be believed, the number of people using less than 2k/yr in services are less than 20% of the population. There just aren’t enough young people in the US to make up for it, and the feds will never get approval to cover the gap.

The only hope I see for US healthcare is to open government funded hospitals and clinics and offer it as another insurance option. They can compete in the market and hope they have enough funding to eventually convince people that they aren’t going anywhere. This will take a lot of capital to weather the first few years of insanity and shenanigans that we will see from traditional insurance companies. Anything less than competition will be lauded as communism (it will anyway, who am I kidding) but for some poor red states, opening a few clinics in rural areas might actually work for them come time for re-election.

I’m saying all of this as an American living in the Netherlands.
The Fed will fight across the board deflation like crazy because that's how the economy ends up in a depression.
Netflix wants you to justify the cost in your mind. The bandwidth is free. Netflix is such a high volume of internet traffic that the CDNs actually have edge content caches within the DCs of most major ISPs, so when you stream you’re actually streaming from a box at your ISP (or a cross connect to Netflix) and not costing Netflix any internet-facing bandwidth besides API calls. This setup is cheaper for everyone because the ISP doesn’t have to subscribe as large of an internet pipe because the high bandwidth streaming is siphoned off into private networking and never leaves the DC.

Chunk it up and resassemble, one assumes. Things aren't nearly as clear in the modern world of gigabit pipes into suburban households[1], but when these things were written the filesystem was 100x faster than the link to those peer connections from which the data was fetched.

I am not even sure what is the point you are trying to make. "Loopholes" is just reddit-speak for paying taxes. Do you take deductions on your own taxes? Do you challenge assessments on your property? Have any pre-tax deductions from your pay (FSA, 401K etc?) Congrats, you are using the loopholes to pay less taxes.

If I wished to learn vim for note taking rather than programming, what learning resources would I most benefit from? I am a complete beginner to vim.
Dunno about you, but my takeaway is that asking "how much space does X occupy" on a modern filesystem is a poorly specified question. Which means that there isn't a single answer. Which means that software should not try to report a single answer, unless there is additional context that fully disambiguates the question. And generally speaking, that last part will not be true, but programmers will think things like "well, they're looking at backups, so we are in this context...", which will sometimes be wrong.

Stepping back a bit, this becomes partly a UX problem and partly a user education problem. Software alone is not going to be able to perfectly guess[1] why a human wants to know, so the human needs to learn enough to competently ask. Software can certainly help educate them, and I wish more software tried to level up the machine operator instead of trying to guess the right thing in the face of ignorance.

[1] Don't mention "genai". Even if the robots get to the point that they are better than me at contextualizing this sort of thing, until they assume legal liability for outcomes, humans need to make decisions.

Apple must license tens of thousands of patents for their products. What is so special about not paying for these? Is this dispute even about the patents at this point or just some kind of feud with Masimo?
I do know of people who decided they couldn't get into the housing market (here in Canada) and have been drawing down their down payment savings to spend.

It's probably a very small portion of this spending increases overall, but interesting to see.

Rates here seem to have stabilized for the time being, and house sales are way down, so I think now we're going to finally see housing price declines this spring season.

The next 2-3 years will get rough as fixed mortgages renew, with my own mortgage payment expected to increase by nearly 50% at renewal, and 70% of the total payment will go to the increased interest payments alone. The total cost of my mortgage at today's rates would be triple what I signed on for!

I don't see how this won't wreak havoc on the average families finances.

Yes, there are a lot of things that need to be done. That paperwork requires some research (for example, how to get off Medicaid in NY and move to Medicaid in GA). Relatives and friends are interested in helping with all the calls for that research.
