> One 2016 study indicated that about 10 percent of non-institutionalized elders in Kingston, Ontario, and Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec, reported a family member being violent toward them—defined in the study as “[being] screamed at, insulted, threatened, cursed, talked down to or physically hurt”—in the preceding six months.

I feel like we need a new word for physical violence.

When I see "violent", that's what I assume it means, and 10 percent of elders being physically attacked is a crisis.

But raising your voice one time in an argument with a parent, who might also be yelling at you, while not good, I don't see in the same category. That can still be an arrangement that's good for everyone involved to continue, if everyone can apologize and agree to do better.

I don't see physical violence in the same way. Once that line is crossed, it's probably better for the living arrangement to change.

"insulted"

The Mom in this story calls everyone "stupid" at some point or another. Doesn't mean that the relationship with every family member she calls "stupid" at some point needs to be cut off. Although she should try to stop using that word so much.

Only if not caught. But in any case this still means that you need to write exception safe code, because you don't know if the function you call will throw, and you don't know if the function calling you will catch.

The secret fact about touch typing is that it’s awkward af unless you’re sitting behind a proper table and your hands are okay to be locked in a specific position. My hands fly all over the table and land where they feel comfortable. They have some anchors from where they reach keys. But there’s no “homerow” for these free birds. And who am I to cage them into some touch nonsense.
Am I getting this right?

1) bilirubin (from red cell breakdown) from bloodstream excreted into the gut

2) gut biota convert it to urobilinogen via bilirubin reductase

3) urobilinogen -> urobilin spontaneous breakdown (still in gut)

4) urobilin reabsorbed into bloodstream, filtered by kidneys, excreted in urine

If so, why not just leave it in gut for excretion with feces?

or perhaps 2.1) urobilinogen reabsorbed into bloodstream first, then 3). Makes a little more sense
I think home construction will be the thing to do the job, it just takes time. For years, my area (The Triangle area of NC) has had a huge amount of home construction that has kept home prices rising at only a very reasonable 3-4% per year over the past few decades, despite large job growth and lots of tech employment. No reason to get into a bidding war over an existing house if you can go a mile down the street and have your pick of 7 different new home communities.

Suddenly when construction ground to a halt in early 2020, prices started spiking by 30%+ per year (extremely low interest rates obviously was a factor as well). Construction seems to be back in full swing over the past year, so basically anyone who wants a new house can buy one if they're willing to wait 6 months or so. New construction prices have leveled off and the junkiest tract houses are closing at $100K or more below their prices a year ago (still $200K more than they would have sold for in 2019 though).

Certain ways that "try harder" can be a bad strategy
That’s an absolutely bad take. Java is still very very conservative with every change, and they almost always have only local behaviors, so not knowing them still gives you complete understanding of a program.

Like, records are a very easy concept, fixing the similar feature in, say, c# where they are mutable. Sealed classes/interfaces are a natural extension over the already existing final logic. It just puts a middle option between none and all (other class) being able to inherit from a superclass.

I've accumulated quite a few steam games over the years (300+) and one thing that bugs me is how only one player can play any game in your library at a time. I can't play one game while my son plays another even though I bought both.

I've tried setting up different accounts for each game I buy, but switching between accounts crashed my computer. Ideally there would be a steam launcher launcher where you pick the game and it launches steam into the correct account for you. It sets any settings/preferences as well. Each game would be installed in different locations on the file system.

If I have 10 games, I have 10 accounts. I play on one pc with one account and my son plays with another account on his pc. But then I can switch to a different game my son was just playing by using his account after he stops and he can play a different game on yet another account. All rightly and fairly paid for.

As it stands, I've bought a couple games from Steam competitors just so I could for sure play them when my son is gaming.
Long ago I paid somewhere between $25 and $100 for a calculator construction kit on Mac classic. Purely a purchase of love because it seemed like cool software and I love RPN calculators.

When you type a character, the cursor smoothly animates from its previous position to the new one. As opposed to most apps where the cursor instantly jumps one character width to the right.
I think this fits.

In an effort to eliminate every possible thing that will cause you discomfort, you end up getting rid of the primary thing which can bring you joy.

I have three kids and it’s a common experience I have with people with no kids that they only ask me about the difficult challenges, lack of sleep, etc… I’ve literally only met a handful of people who asked me about the fun and joy of kids.

Christianity is actually a weird hybrid of Abrahamic religion and pre-existing graeco-roman traditions, and is so in a rather complex way, i.e it's not just absorbing a couple of rites here and there, but it also has roots in hybridation with mystery cults like the mysteries of Eleusis and the cult of Dionysus.

Good read: The Immortality Key, by Brian Murarescu.

The reason I said "true" and not "false" is that the church was very successful at rebranding the whole spiel to the point where the memory of the link was utterly removed from the collective awareness and only through digging and analysis we can reconstruct the story (and even then many people will just find it quite unbelievable).
Family structure may be the factor determining entire political systems ,(according to emmanuel todd).

About 1/3 of the applications I use regularly are ones I've written myself, from the trivial to one that are very large and complex.

My favorite one, though, was a simple alarm clock app I wrote (back when I used alarm clocks). It had the one thing I wanted from alarm clocks that nobody provided: every time you hit the snooze button, it snoozes for half the time you got the last time you hit the snooze. When the snooze period drops below 1 minute, the snooze button stopped working entirely.
Yes, that's it. You choose where to pause/resume work and place the calls to `yieldOrContinue` there.

Correct, should have been "at least".
Depends what they are. Most of the time those are unavailable because they've been replaced with better Swift imports of the same API somewhere. Less commonly it's because they use one of the few C features that can't be imported into Swift or, even more rarely, because the API is fundamentally unsafe and they don't want it available in Swift. In all cases you can reexpose these APIs to Swift by writing your own C wrapper.

none of what you're calling context clarified the stance that expertise is just correlation with a single data point.

I fail to see what separates Alma from CentOS Stream at this point

The entire Propose of CentOS was Binary Compatibility with RHEL, largely for Vendor compliance reasons, if a vendor of a commercial software product validated RHEL 7 for their software running CentOS 7 was also supported

Running CentOS Stream, or now Alma Linux would not be as their are no longer binary compatible with RHEL.

the Hostility of IBM and Redhat here has lead me to transition 100% of the CentOS Server I managed to Ubuntu Last year... The software vendors that i use all quickly validated Ubuntu as an alternative to CentOS after the original CentOS Stream announcement which made is a easy choice for me..

I will never use RHEL or RHEL based distribution again at this point so I really do not care about the future of Alma or Rocky either

>Personally, I don’t find value in the EL ecosystem, I prefer rolling releases everywhere when possible

if you are running ERP Systems, LOB Apps, or other critical functions that measure their code life in decades not weeks then EL systems are required. I do not want the system to change as the app i am running has not changed. I want Stability, and security not new features or more performance or even new hardware
It usually isn't. They're right. They benefit usually because of a name brand school. The name brand is the benefit, the education less so.

Just because there are things that we can do about symptoms of a problem doesn't change the fact that the problem itself might bother some of us.

For instance, it bothers me that certain networks quite literally do nothing about malicious actors attempting intrusion from those networks. Abuse complaints are ignored. Some people might say, "just run blocklistd", "use a non-standard port", et cetera, but the real issue is that people shouldn't be allowed to attempt intrusion, and when I send an email to a netblock's contacts with 1,000 login attempts, they should remove the accounts linked to that attempted intrusion.

They don't, so I block whole netblocks based on the lack of response and action. Should I also run blocklistd? Sure, and I do, but that's orthogonal to blocking.

So while the person running this site could do things differently and/or better, for certain definitions of better, they're doing what works for them.

Is reporting spam going to make a change in the world? No, but it FEELS better to do it, and it does affect my mailbox. Likewise, is blocking IPs making a change in the world? No, but it probably makes Cheapskate feel more in control of their server.
100% right. The challenge is it's not cheap, and someone has to pay for that and it's either government (probably should be, but we're waiting...) or the private sector, and it seems to be a hard revenue model to make work.
My 2 faves are 1) "Whale Watching" when Bandit and Chili are clearly hungover from an NYE party. and 2) in the episode "Perfect" when Bandit and Fido are talking about getting a vasectomy but Chili wants to keep her options open.

I've never understood the implied assertion that there's a sufficient continuity between vastly different stages of physical development from a parent's perspective; which is the only one we grant an exception as in all other cases the law, at least in America, clearly denies that continuity.

At any rate, the reverse is usually not true: I don't want to see my parents walking around in their underwear.

How is this different to when Mr. Rogers shared a wading pool with his Black mailman? Or Captain Kirk kissed Uhura? Both evoked the same conservative outrage we hear about today over things like this. Introducing and celebrating people different from ourselves is how we become more comfortable with them. It eliminates the other-ness of them. As these kids grow up they're going to become aware of a vocal minority of adults who are trying to convince people to marginalize these minority groups and in some cases even call for their extermination. Yes it's a culture war, but it's not being waged by LGBT people, it's being waged against them.
> I know I ought to pay it forward and publish the code for my app. Even if it doesn’t work for anyone else as-is, it might provide a helpful guide — one I would have been grateful to have. But the code is marbled with application-specific values, well-salted with authentication keys.

Meh. Pretty disappointing excuse. Wouldn't take long at all to separate secrets and would make the app inherently more secure anyway.

Because you're cherrypicking people to whom a college education in a certain country and field has been highly beneficial.

And actually in large parts of the world, trade schools pay much better indeed.

Reality is that while our society got much more educated the ratio of blue vs white collars hasn't shifted significantly in many decades in most of the world.

Now we find the reality when we need our car adjusted or a plumber at home and we find that the hourly rate is insanely higher than that of an average college graduate.

But I guess on HN where most people have STEM degrees and have found great jobs indeed with their education this does not resonate.

But an average lawyer in France or Italy will never make the money of the average plumber (but stats show that a bit less because those trades often avoid paying taxes entirely) till late in his career (at which point the plumber has built more wealth).
I’ve used scancafe a number of times and actually wrote an early-on review for CNET.

One general piece of advice is that before you go crazy, think about what you really care about saving. There’s a cost to scanning of course. There’s also a cost to metadata and other cataloging so that you can actually find what you’ve scanned.

For photos everything is in Lightroom with at least a modicum of organization. When my dad decided he’d like a digital picture frame of older family pics it literally took me about 30 minutes to pull together.
2% isn't nothing. It's easy to get a bigger number: have a kid (30 kg) eat two servings -- hardly unrealistic -- and you're already at 8%. And that's not the only food they'll consume that day.

German government research estimates that around 1% of the population consumes more than the TDI (according to another federal government press release from 2013[1]). According to that source, kids' exposition to DEHP is half from food, and half from other sources like toys and the overall environment, and the typical exposition is between 15-44 ug/kg (i.e. below the TDI).

Separately, the Trump administration implemented a program in which some Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage plans voluntarily set the maximum copay for insulin at $35 per month. However, not all insulin products are necessarily covered by the plans that participate. It also does not affect costs for people who are uninsured or have other coverage.

That program remains in place, and Cubanski pointed out that the Biden administration supported expanding that initiative. A provision under the idling Build Back Better Act would have applied it to private insurers, for example.

That legislation also proposed allowing Medicare to negotiate the prices of certain drugs, including insulin.

> I have a bone to pick when people are inconsistent with themselves, using daycare as an example when people have cheaper alternatives, and then have the gall to complain.

Those aren't inconsistencies. You're just asking clarifying questions and getting more information about their preferences.

"Man, it's hard making ends meet [in their head: without living with my parents or without working at the local coal mine or working overtime or doing all sorts of things I don't prefer]".

"You know, you could work at the local coal mine [or work overtime or do all sorts of things you can insert here]."

"But I don't want to."

"Heh, gotcha. So you don't care about ends not meeting very much!"

You just don't share their preferences and think you have a bone to pick with them over it. Because you prefer something, you might be assigning zero cost to it where others don't.
