They expire after 20 years IIRC. There is some shenanigans that go on with "evergreening" where they try to expand it out for longer, but it's generally an effective system.
Pre-Scheme is an incredible piece of history, largely forgotten and lost to time outside of a very small group that knew about it. Live hackable at the REPL, and yet with static type inference (Hindley-Milner!), compiles to C, no GC? It's something I've always wanted, and it existed, but it felt like one of those lost pieces of technology that was at risk of fading into the dustbin of history.

But no more! It's so exciting that Andrew Whatson has begun reviving the project with such great enthusiasm and making it so that Pre-Scheme can run on top of a variety of Schemes. And it's wonderful that NLnet has recognized how important this effort is. I think Pre-Scheme could play an interesting role alongside Zed and Rust, and indeed I know that Andrew plans to incorporate many of the newer ideas explored in those languages on top of Pre-Scheme eventually.

Go Pre-Scheme revival... I'm cheering it on, and can't wait to use this stuff myself!
Grand Theft Auto V uses curl and earns about that much in a year. Fortnite, Roblox and PUBG use curl too; they're massive money-printing machines. https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/06/09/games-curl-too/
For me it was squat and deadlift with a lot of stretching.

Though for me a lot of the lower back pain came from really tight hamstrings so the stretching was important for that (and you can't really do squats and deadlifts with proper form without enough flexibility)
>There's really no reason why a drug for something affecting tens of millions of people should cost so much.

The reason is becoming very rich is the carrot for taking the big risks to develop the medicine, because you will likely fail for years and years, and maybe never succeed.

If the discussion is changing to limit how rich someone should be able to get, that is a different topic about tax policy and wealth redistribution, not medicine prices.

Compatibilism is the thesis that free will is compatible with determinism.

The title is kinda clickbait

From the article

> he believed that the “real issue” was the way criminal prosecutions of post office operators had been handled by the state-owned body.

And he's not wrong in that sense.

The only reason innocent Postmasters were held liable was because of the horrid internal policies of the Post Office that decided to explicitly treat software as infallible.

Post Office Ltd is equally as liable as Fujitsu imo.
Isn't it more important for food producers to explain why American's are so obese?

I have seen Americans on Tiktok say that they lost about 40 pounds in weight when they stayed in Europe for a while even when they ate the same amount of food?

Shouldn't those concerned about the health of Americans get their priorities right?

Is this "Idiocracy" in the making or what?
Other rich countries have price controls. If the US had the same price controls, all else equal, the economics of pharmaceutical research would fall apart. Whether that would be bad or good is certainly up for debate, but my personal view is that it would be bad.

But it wouldn't be necessary to leave all else equal, if we introduced the same kind of price controls. The idea I think seems interesting is to do more research funding via large public prizes, rather than primarily grants and profits. Unfortunately it sounds pretty untenable, politically, to me, to set these prizes high enough to encourage a similar amount of research as the profit motive does. It's hard for me to envision a like $3B prize for "create a really good weight loss drug" having been politically feasible, for instance.
Bun is fantastic! It saves me so much time. Thank you!

> There’s so many areas of medicine where we don’t see progress because the ROI just isn’t worth it. Do we want to risk making all medicine like that?

You can have a market for R&D and see progress. You cannot have a market for lemons and expect the same. For every Ozempic, you can expect one or more Nexium, where the company (AstraZeneca in the case of Prilosec/Nexium) uses the first research win to pretend to have a second win (or third, or fourth, or even first because acquisitions) using marketing and distribution channels to bury the cheaper med.

The problem is that because I use tmux so heavily locally, using it remotely is a pain in the ass.

My normal workflow is either to be sitting in front of my Linux machine, or SSH'd to it (from a Windows laptop). Tmux makes the transition between those two seamless. But nesting tmux doesn't work.

This is good advice, thanks. I used to get crippling back pain once a year (a cramp that would render me unable to walk for a week) and nothing for the rest of the year.

Now I get low pain all the time, but it's more of the "sore muscle" variety. It does make me walk a bit oddly, at least until I walk it off, but I wish I didn't get that either.

The difference between the two was that i gained weight but started Pilates. I'm losing weight now but I'll start doing squats and crunches as well, thank you.
Is curl API that good? It looks a little weird to me, for example, you need to set URL as an "option", and it is not "optional" despite the name. Wouldn't it be better to pass URL and method to "curl_easy_perform" function?

Furthermore, it seems to use "set option" function with magic values to control in-memory cookie storage which is even weirder: https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_COOKIELIST.html

Also, curl seems to have no built-in function to save data? The user has to implement write callback themselves?

Also, regarding options, curl uses a single function for setting options of different types (numbers, booleans, strings) so typing for an option value cannot be used. Is that a good idea? What C developers usually use in such cases?
For what it's worth, FreeBSD is actually it's own thing and not Linux at all. It's descended from Berkeley Unix and has no code in common with Linux or GNU (though it can still run software that's cross-compatible).

Prices are signals carrying information about how valuable consumers find a product. When you artificially dampen the signal, you reduce the incentive to produce below the societally optimal amount.

This is the Econ 101 argument. If you think drug prices are "too high" then you need to refute it directly.
My experience generally (in the U.S.) is that our society is built from a collection of systems, that when viewed from a distance, appear to be functional. The closer you get to any one of those systems though, the more it will become clear how dysfunctional it is, how rarely it is doing the right thing, and how much it's just luck of the draw if you end up dealing with someone competent as opposed to a vindictive bully who will do everything in their power to hurt you if you press them to do the job their particular system is ostensibly responsible for.
I wonder why are there so many people in this situation of obesity? I mean, really, what are the known causes?

I get that we are all dissimilar regarding how much our organism will assimilate and store this or that on the genetics lottery. My supposition here would be that, given the proportion at stake, the bulk of issue is more likely coming from a diet that should be improved.

What would it cost to pay people with public nutritional education and prescribing a catch for a few months, vs these drugs?

Once again, I don’t imply it could be panacea for every single case, and I humbly recognize my ignorance of the topic, so feel very welcome to point me to relevant resources.

Even worse, because the text adventure games of the '70s and '80s (at least, the ones that were reasonably successful) had consistent internal state. If you told it to move to the Back of Fountain, you were in the Back of Fountain and would stay there until you told it to move somewhere else. If you told it to wave the black rod with the star at the chasm, a bridge appeared and would stay there.

If you tell ChatGPT that your name is Dan, and give it some rules to follow, after enough exchanges, it will simply forget these things. And sometimes it won't accurately follow the rules, even when they're clearly and simply specified, even the first prompt after you give them. (At least, this has been my experience.)

I don't think anyone really wants to play "text adventure game with advanced Alzheimer's".
Keen to read a source on this, as this would be valuable to bring up whenever new data harvesting measures are on the table.
you don't have to be glad about that because its clearly not why prices are lower in africa.

Looking in from the outside this whole reasoning seems to me like some kind of propaganda thats meant to me easily swallowed by americans.

It seems like a deflection that sells the disparity by leveraging american exceptionalism (US medicine is the best) to be swallowed resulting in variying thoughts depending on the disposition of the recipient ranging between "i am glad we are helping those poor people" to "WAAAA why should I pay for them".

But neither of it is really true. The truth as it looks from the outside is that the american people are simply taken for a ride by pretty much all the parts of the healthcare sector.
The media aren't biased in the direction of making their host country worse off

i don't believe that. at least western media are biased towards majority and conservative views and for profit entities, ignoring or even suppressing minorities and that is making us worse off.
I think we need to be more specific that lifting _too_ heavy weights will do this. A properly planned and followed progressive overload program for a beginner should start with form, follow with just the bar, and then add weight slowly while pausing if any unusual stress is encountered.

Bodyweight programs are effective too, of course. Whatever keeps an individual motivated is usually the best choice for them.

Why would that matter? Novo is a publicly traded company on Nasdaq, surely lots and lots of Americans (including American taxpayer funded DB pension fund) have benefited from Novo stock going up. No less than any other “American” pharmaceutical company.

As a German tax payer too, i appreciate very much that Orban does not roll over and take blackmailing* from Brussels regarding the migration crisis and what Hungary will allow regarding its remaining sovereignty.

Germany as well as other countries should be thankful that Hungary actually built border protections, something you will never see from established centrist parties and bureaucrats.

No, just that inclusion is not a signifier.

It was also the most upvoted comment.
Fair point.

Not so sure that I'd call it "tinfoil." Probably quite realistic.

It's easy for me to say. I write software to support a fairly small, tight-knit, demographic. We all tend to know each other, so trust (or lack, thereof) is fairly established.
One is boring, the other is fun. One is in your face every time you install related software, the other isn't.
You'd think people on a startup accelerator forum would understand power laws.
I would advocate an additional method of supporting open source: contributing. Doesn’t even have to be features. Bug fixes or docs are amazing. Heck even opening really good issues where it’s clear the dev spent time getting a good reproduction. Daniel is a full time maintainer who would benefit from additional income. Many small projects have maintainers that a few dollars might be helpful but help would be more helpful.

I went to some open source confs to promote a book I wrote (https://howtoopensource.dev) and free service (https://www.codetriage.com) and asked people working at booths for large companies if they can contribute to open source at their day job. Only one person had a positive example and in that case their team was literally blocked on the fix and there was no workaround. The rest seemed confused about why they should be spending work time to report issues or fix bugs. Some genuinely didn’t realize that was helpful and that “contributing to open source” doesn’t just mean releasing and maintaining your own code.

So yes, please fund the software you use, also time and attention is valuable too.

Last tip: If you want to make a habit of it, get it tracked like regular work. “Hey, is feature X done, can we move this card over?” …”Actually I still need to report an upstream issue before we are totally done, I’ll make another work item for it and get it checked off today”. If you feel like you would get pushback for that, then start smaller, by filing issues and talking about it after the fact. Most other engineers and quite a few managers see this as going above and beyond for your job.
Help me understand this thinking. If you're only making "a few" long range trips per year, then why would you base your car purchase on those trips? Why not simply rent a car for those trips and make your car buying decision on your daily driving needs?
Squats and deadlifts are considered the best of all excercises, and will give you a strong, healthy back. Focus in form, not weight, and if you have existing issues find a variation that works for your body (trap bar, Smith machine, different grips and feet placements).
How about many-to-many comparisons? Interested in this use-case for fuzzy matching of many data records using a local db.
I have two adjacent herniated discs which has basically made me somewhat disabled (I can't sit down at certain angles, lift anything heavier than 15kg without crippling myself). Walking twice a day definitely helps as does these daily exercises:

I think so, but maybe not much better. I use noscript so I thing that helps a lot.

But, I tend to thing on OpenBSD both chrome and Firefox is more secure than other systems because those are patched with pledge and unveil. So most of the system does not exist for them.

> a basically-similar argument in Kleene's 1967 textbook.

This textbook is an astonishing piece of work of an astonishing mathematical genius. The amount of all kinds of weird (and useful? I'm not much of a logician myself) logical stuff in it is just mind-boggling, just as its writing style. You can keep come back to this book for years and find something new in it every time.

Barendregt's book on lambda calculus is another example of such a book.

Yes, there is a comprehension issue here. Everyone else understood this as a discussion on whether the author is being arrogant and dismissive in this section. You seem to be looking for a discussion on whether anyone really writes C libraries in a cave with scraps.

Nobody here but you is taking the "cave" and "scraps" literally. It'd be total nonsense if taken literally. Like, what would it even mean? It's obviously the author trying to make their writing punchy. You should not take it any more seriously than their threats to snap people's necks for talking about AI.

If you want to ignore than actual discussion and steer it toward a discussion of an interpretation of the text that's so literal that the text doesn't even make sense, you should probably be very explicit about it.
You can walk that much if you are healthy, have roads, have enough food and water, good clothing and shoes, there are no dangers that must be avoided and if you know what your destination is. If you have to stop daily to get food (hunting or gathering fruit), avoid or fight dangerous people and animals, figure out best ways to get along while carying whaterver possesions they had, shelter from bad weather, prospect for places to settle permanently or temporarily then it's a completely different story. It's also not like they had a deadline or something.

Prices are not determined in a vacuum. Sellers price things as high as possible based on what they think buyers can afford. If buyers can afford more, sellers will find a way to absorb the extra liquidity in the market. We will end up where we started. The solution is not UBI, it is to make certain things basic rights, like housing, food, transportation, infrastructure, education, but not excessively cheap. So people can afford to live, but need to work harder to live better. New housing development, prices need to be reasonably anchored to what people there earn. If what people earn in that location goes down next year? So does rent/housing prices. Exceptions for higher end housing and things can be made.

This is what I think anyway, don't really have any hard science to back this up, but I have a feeling UBI will not work like we expect.
Same thing in Canada, as a google search tells me that "Ozempic costs between $200 and $300 per month in Canada."
