It's complete nonsense. "The total number of moves in the game is equal to the number of stones initially in the pile, which is 5000."

Similarly on the Martian question "If we transform 1 red and 1 green Martian, we get 4 blue Martians. This changes the parity of red and green Martians from even to odd, and the parity of blue Martians from even to odd." - is complete nonsense too.

"the sum of the digits of a number k modulo 2 is equivalent to k mod 2" - 12?

Even in non-rural areas, you first have to narrow down providers that are in-network for your insurance and then it's still typically 4-8 weeks for the first appointment in any non-emergency scenario. US healthcare system is not some exception to long wait times for access.

> 4WD gives you the opportunity to get stuck farther in.

Fine advice I was given as a new jeep owner was, 2WD to get in, 4WD to get out. I don't have lockers, but 4lo has been sufficient for farm mud and snow so far.

what I have learned is the desire for a jeep is better served by a pickup and an atv. I am happy with the JK and will keep it, but the actual communities for most rural activities use one or the other, where the jeep is a compromise that means relatively mediocre utility and offroad capability in comparison.

It's the absolute best convertible 6cyl stick runabout dog carrier with a short wheelbase and gardening-trailer hitch for weekenders that is just constant fun, and I will maintain mine for another decade if I can, but rurally and for the money, get a used truck, atv, and maybe a dirt bike instead.
Thank you so much! Let me know if you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer.
A union cannot help them. They generally are in places where there isn't a better option. Go on strike, we will just find someone else to replace you. Unions work when you are hard to replace. (hard is a trade off between many things, not just the cost of training someone new; but also things like the legal climate or future strikes)
Ive never seen it work in practice. Every time I see it end up with Appv1, Appv2, Appv3 all running at the same time because the new systems cant move quick enough to add new features so they get added to the older versions. But the newer systems offer unique things the older didnt. So they all coexist and never die.
I formally enrolled in 2005/2006 and at the time these things were definitely not in place in the fields I studied. There were some mandatory introductory courses but even with those you usually had a wide range of options and one of the requirements for moving on was literally just N "weekly hours for a semester" in total of courses (primarily lectures) with no further restrictions. If it said 20 you could spend 20 hours by attending 10 lectures for a semester or spread it out over multiple semesters or you could take courses including courses from other faculties if they didn't have any restrictions on them (you'd only need to demonstrate attendance which was often not recorded for lectures so the only evidence necessary was having enrolled in it - until the BA/MA switch happened and lectures would only be considered if you had written an essay or passed and exam at the end of it, which nobody did).

I ended up dropping out for many reasons including the move to focus on self-employment but part of it was that I passed the deadline for graduating under the old system and that the switch meant a lot of my effort had been for naught as I would have had to write dozens of essays about lectures I attended over the years and the combination of courses I picked didn't neatly fit into the required modules.

I was also active in the department's student group so I got to see how they adapted to the new system and a lot of it was literally just rearranging the existing courses into modules based more on meeting formal structural requirements than actually developing a coherent lesson plan. I acknowledge that this is likely more of a quirk of the Magister studies than Diplom or Lehramt (for teaching professions) which always were more structured even before the transition.
You have it exactly backwards. The original goal of Linux was to create a Unix-like operating system on Linus Torvald's own Intel 80386 PC. Once the original Linux had been created, it was then ported to other CPUs. The joy of a portable operating system is that you can run it on any CPU, including Intel CPUs.

In Canada the conservatives have been doing everything they can to gut the health care. One of their primary arguements is that it is so much quicker and easier to see a doctor in the US.

exactly.

Goals are not what you do. Goals are sort of like desires, or outcomes you want, but you don't do a goal every day.

By building up habits and systems and processes, and do them every day, the routine will eventually lead to a goal.

Water cost calculations in the West are always a bit incomplete without a discussion of water rights. It takes around 500 gallons of water to make one hamburger. [1] The reason it makes economic sense is because agricultural water is 'free' at the margin. Farmers grow alfalfa and feed it to cows. Alfalfa is ridiculously water-intensive, at 5 feet of water per acre.

In that context, giving 'free' water to a drinking water company doesn't really seem outrageous per se.

It's probably worth adding that IRC is so simple to stand up and requires such tiny resources there could be many independent small IRCD's running for smaller organizations and we would never know. I can't be the only one that got tired of drama from some circles of people and stood up my own semi-private nodes for a few circles of my friends. NGIRCD can be configured in less than 5 minutes counting obtaining a LetsEncrypt certificate. Services can take a few more minutes. UnrealIRCD is more feature rich but takes a little longer to configure optimally. I've personally taught many people how to set up NGIRCD. I have no idea how many of them kept one running. Slap a web front-end on it [1] and the bar to access is significantly lowered.

Too many people, not enough healthcare resources

It's funny because with healthcare the US it's actually making people see the price, a price in numbers, of healthcare when it's under a government monopoly.

In they EU they put caps everywhere so you can't know the price society is paying for not having a free market in healthcare (but also the EU has a tiny bit more free market in healthcare than the US anyway so)
I can only speak for myself, and some of the reasons why K8s has left a bad taste in my mouth:

- It can be complex depending on the third-party controllers and operators in use. If you're not anticipating how they're going to make your resources behave differently than the documentation examples suggest they will, it can be exhausting to trace down what's making them act that way.

- The cluster owners encounter forced software updates that seem to come at the most inopportune times. Yes, staying fresh and new is important, but we have other actual business goals we have to achieve at the same time and -- especially with the current cost-cutting climate -- care and feeding of K8s is never an organizational priority.

- A bunch of the controllers we relied on felt like alpha grade toy software. We went into each control plane update (see previous point) expecting some damn thing to break and require more time investment to get the cluster simply working like it was before.

- While we (cluster owners) begrudgingly updated, software teams that used the cluster absolutely did not. Countless support requests for broken deployments, which were all resolved by hand-holding the team through a Helm chart update that we advised them they'd need to do months earlier.

- It's really not cheaper than e.g. ECS, again, in my experience.

- Maybe this has/will change with time, but I really didn't see the "onboarding talent is easier because they already know it." They absolutely did not. If you're coming from a shop that used Istio/Argo and move to a Linkerd/Flux shop, congratulations, now there's a bunch to unlearn and relearn.

- K8s is the first environment where I palpably felt like we as an industry reached a point where there were so many layers and layers on top of abstractions of abstractions that it became un-debuggable in practice. This is points #1-3 coming together to manifest as weird latency spikes, scaling runaways, and oncall runbooks that were tantamount to "turn it off and back on."

Were some of these problems organizational? Almost certainly. But K8s had always been sold as this miracle technology that would relieve so many pain points that we would be better off than we had been. In my experience, it did not do that.

Good article, and I like the "Idea: " sections sprinkled throughout as a way of spurring possible progress.

I like how markdown has allowed us to render a purely textual definition of a document without majorly muddying the concerns of layout with content. I also like how mermaid has made diagraming through text more approachable too. So if a programming language's comment syntax could make way for standardized embeddable mermaid, maybe more editors/IDEs/tools could present the visualizations as context while editing the code? Possibly such tooling could look for discrepancies between the diagrams and the code to flag when they might be diverging?
This wildly varies based on 1) needs, 2) supply/demand in your locale, 3) existing patient relationship.

I live in the Bay Area and in the past month - between myself, wife and three kids -- we've seen an oral surgeon, general practice dentist, orthodontist, pediatric cardiologist, pediatric orthopedist, OB/Gyn (for outpatient surgical procedure), pediatric dermatologist and a sports medicine orthopedist. The only one that had a lead time of more than a week was the dermatologist, and that was because it was a low priority assessment appointment, not something that required immediate attention.

Overall, lead times are pretty short for patients that need to be seem for emergent reasons, and I've almost never had issues with prescheduled appointments being moved after the fact. We have pretty standard employer-sponsored HDHP PPO insurance, and my experience has held true across three states over the past 20 years.

Unless something fundamentally changes about healthcare in the US, though, I believe high schools or colleges should teach "patient advocacy" for many of the same reasons as they should teach "financial literacy" as required short courses. I'm convinced, benefiting from having close family members employed as health care providers and witnessing the experiences of many friends & families who don't have this benefit of knowledge & experience, that many people receive supbar care primarily because they don't know how to seek & request what they need, to converse with providers using expected jargon, and to advocate for themselves to their insurers (and providers).

On my laptop, appropriately instrumented, I see Python 3.12 is faster than 2.7. (Note that they use different versions of clang):

% python2.7 t.py
version: 2.7.17
module scope: 1.0321419239
function scope: 0.575540065765

Genuinely curious, what are some of the reasons you keep them around?

Every time I read about someone with that kind of tab count I immediately wonder:

1) if they have that many persistent tabs and actually need (probably the wrong word here) them, how many tabs do they actually close?

2) Does closing a long standing tab invoke a physiological/emotional response?

I'm only poking a little fun with #2. I have to actively overrule my subconscious when it comes to a few categories of physical things. Small electronics and computer parts/peripherals are a couple of things that if I don't verbally tell myself "you won't ever need this random old PC case panel thumb screw" I could very easily end up in hoarder territory.
Exactly! People are not trained in gathering and interpreting evidence. And when they are “investigating” something that is personally affecting them there is probably even greater chance of them jumping to conclusions and acting rashly. Emotions will cloud judgement. And judgement was lacking in the first place because they are not trained in how to investigate matters and they are not familiar with tactics that criminals use to make it appear like they are someone else.

Several years ago when I still had a Facebook account there was a guy that DMed me yelling at me and accusing me of trying to “hack him”. His evidence? The reverse DNS record for a server was pointing to a domain I owned. I replied and told him the reverse record was out of date. I had previously rented a VPS with that IP address and I had had the reverse record point to my domain. I had since cancelled the rental of that VPS and now the hosting company had assigned the IP to someone else. Apparently the hosting company had not bothered to remove the reverse DNS record from their systems so it was still pointing to my domain. The guy that was yelling at me was of course too stupid to understand this when I explained it to him so I gave up on trying to educate him and blocked him from being able to send me any more DMs.

Now imagine if this guy had started a full-on retaliation campaign based on his misguided “evidence”. Luckily for me I never heard or seen from him again.

But yeah, that kind of thing is exactly why “vigilante justice” is such an incredibly dangerous and stupid idea.
I think open source does tend to win, it just does it slowly - often when the big commercial name screws up or changes ownership.

ex - I think Adobe is in the middle of this swing now, Blender is eating marketshare, and Krita is pretty incredible.

Unity is also struggling (I've seen a LOT of folks moving to Godot, or going back to unreal [which is not open, but is source-available - because having access matters]).

CAD hasn't quite tipped yet - but Freecad is getting better constantly. I used to default to Fusion360 and Solidworks, but I haven't had to break those out for personal use in the last 5 years or so (CNC/3d printing needs). It's not ready for professional use yet, but it now feels like how blender felt in 2010 - usable, if not quite up to par.

Office work... is a tough one - to date, Excel still remains king for the folks who actually need Excel. Everything else has moved to free (although not necessarily open source) editors. None of my employers have provided word/powerpoint for more than a decade now - and I haven't missed not having them.

I would argue that PDFs have gone the opensource route though, and that used to be a big name in office work (again - Adobe screwed up).

I don't really do any music production or video editing, so I can't really comment other than to say that ffmpeg is eating the world for commercial solutions under the hood, and it is solidly open. And on the streaming side of "Video" OBS studio is basically the only real player I'm aware of.

So... I don't really think it's wishful thinking. I think opensource is genuinely better most times, it just plays the long and slow game to getting there.
It depended on the focus, I think. But I think you're right: I believe Theoretische Informatik was a Diplom study at my university, but there was a related study that used Magister (computational linguistics and humanities computer science, which of course had overlaps with the respective general fields).

I tried it out and it seems clear that vertical tabs without titles create too much friction for daily driving a browser where you have many tabs open, hover thumbnails or not.

For a few years I have thought that Firefox could gain market share by doing more with the browser UI, steal a few ideas from Arc Browser for instance. There's a lot of value to be added in the UI for sure.

Asking users what they want and then building it ends up with solutions like these. I really hope this gets a lot more iteration before landing in stable.

I currently use SlidePad on Mac which allows touching the left side of the screen to pop out a vertically tabbed browser, for IMs and most used AI chat but would rather keep everything in Firefox with some kind of panel system. I think most of us have pinned tabs for communication channels, email, socials, etc.

Vertical tabs on left with titles works if you can also configure a useful slide out panel on right, mixing the two feels odd to me.

But really good to see something happening finally, so good news overall.

That and the fact that it gates progress entirely using a mechanic that had, up to that point, never really been introduced -- you might have noticed it on accident, but the whole design of the game (go fast from left to right, jumping sometimes) and, as you mentioned, the fact that it bounces when you jump on it, lead you to have no idea how to solve it correctly.

My spicy take is this: that particular obstacle is not "they upped the difficulty", but is instead "they designed this poorly."
