While I can't deny the argument that US national anti-TB efforts have become fragmented, possibly as a result of lower incidence, BCG isn't an especially protective vaccine against pulmonary disease and can interfere with TB skin testing, which even in this age of generally available blood QuantiFERON testing is still not uncommon. BCG does have greater value in high-risk countries, and it may be most useful for kids in those regions where TB meningitis is a bigger threat. It doesn't make a lot of sense in a low-burden country, but perhaps one day we'll have a better one.

Perhaps it could have been treated better, but then if you compare it with Kotlin, Scala or Clojure - F# ships with the main .NET SDK. It does not need to be installed separately, no user action is required to jump into an F# project immediately or to add an F# project to an existing solution. You can simply dotnet new classlib/console --language F#, dotnet build and it is ready to go.

It could use more marketing, halo projects and word of mouth though.

It depends on the machine, I suppose. For example, the Pi 4 quick start image works like this.. But this isn't a desktop environment out of the box. Mr @elahav has a Desktop window manager based on Screen that you can build and run. It's pretty cool and in a great state to be built upon!

Yeah, this is a good point. There's been lack of oversight in many countries in many areas for a long time and I think this year we're gonna really start to see the effects of this.
The odds that a vanity project that someone picked because they thought it was cool will fix climate change seems substantially lower than a project that was picked because they really think it will fix climate change. Those two things are pretty closely related, since it's much easier to come up with a cool project with a vague promise of a climate change goal than a project that will really work.

Instead of bringing back mammoths, maybe help genetically engineer existing species to help them adapt faster, like people are doing with coral. I don't know, but "resurrecting the mammoths" is probably far down the list of useful climate change projects these people could be putting effort into.
There are several other professions which do it. Doctors and financial advisers immediately spring to mind. It's bound to happen in any tightly regulated profession where the professional is expected to give potentially life altering advice as part of their services.

It's long past time for people to wake up and realize how dependent they are on these cloud services, and make the choice to de-cloudify themselves. Losing your MegaCorpAccount should not ruin your life. Yet here we are with people hanging all their precious online assets (including their primary E-mail address!!) onto these tenuous free accounts, where they have no recourse if the company just stops doing business with them. People really need to understand how much of a Faustian bargain it is to enjoy and become so dependent on cloud services.

Make it a 2025 goal to get your life off these accounts. By 31-Dec-2025, you should be in the situation where you are not even inconvenienced if Google or Apple or Meta were to suddenly ban your account.

That has basically zero practical effect. If Google hands out the weights to thousands of people, and even one of them leaks them to somebody who hasn't "seen a bunch of agreements", then Google's only protection against further redistribution is copyright. Which doesn't exist.

Me neither, despite your flagrant attempt at putting a strawman.

Maybe, you know, there is a middle ground between "as impactful or dangerous as TB" and "negligible"? Especially when so much is unknown about the SARS-CoV-2, a virus that infects the whole body (not just the lungs)?

For reference, almost all the victims of SARS-CoV-1 are still suffering from complications almost two decades later, between permanent fatigue, pulmonary damage, osteoporosis and bone necrosis, immune system deregulation, cognition impairment... Which is, you know, less worse than death and therefore TB, but still
> It's an interesting problem because we do see innovation from private companies (tech, scaling, UX, etc) that I don't think we'd see in a publicly/government-owned platform.

I don't see any reason to suspect this. Even a blurrier incentive is still incentive.

Secondly a lot of that innovation has been bad. Consider the disappearance of a chronological timeline, or ads themselves. There's nothing inherently positive about the concept of innovation but profit motivates every type (as it stands). It just tends to happen faster with private enterprise and without any say from the users.

Wonderful topic! Reframing or reinterpretation over time. And then data science origins together and track the path into mainstream culture and the effects the reinterpretation had on language in old/new context and how it normalised/polarised certain concepts, topics, perspectives, ideologies and so on ... with a sub-focus on teens and their social media use or the cool, alternative, avant-garde kids in art and music.

Overlay TB with poverty (or more accurately, per capita GDP) on the map.

There are number of correlations with unhealthy activities like smoking, drinking, fitness, etc... but the best indicator is if you live in poverty, and/or if you're country is poor. Poor areas of rich countries have higher TB, and poor countries in general have higher incidences of poverty. Basically, less access to healthcare and bad living conditions.

This is a good study here that explain the individual risk factors, but the available maps also show a pretty clear pattern:

Malnourishment is a big part according to the WHO [1]

I’m no expert but I also suspect access to medical care is also a big part, as typically only active cases spread the disease. If you are symptomatic and get some antibiotics, you might not spread it to very many people. If you’re symptomatic and go without treatment for ages, then you might spread it to loads of other people.

As we learned during covid, small differences in R value massively change the prevalence over time.
It hasn't stopped threats like ATACMS or other precision munitions. The larger the munition the better the guidance stands up to interference up to cruise missiles that can use terrain following or inertial guidance to strike quite precisely without needing GPS at all.
Type Switch: A Convenient Language Switcher for macOS, Almost Ready [video]
As a long-time Apple enthusiast who works with English, Ukrainian, and Polish, I’ve always found macOS's default language-switching tools to be less than ideal for managing multiple languages. The process feels clunky, and I wanted something more intuitive and efficient. That’s why I decided to create Type Switch — a simple, powerful language-switching tool designed to make multilingual typing effortless.
What is Type Switch?
Type Switch allows users to quickly and easily switch between 30+ languages with a customizable button that you can adjust to your preferences, including size, color, and opacity. It’s designed to provide a smoother, more intuitive experience for multilingual users.
Key Features:
Seamless switching between 30+ languages.
Customizable button (size, color, opacity).
Optional sound and speech feedback for each language.
Clean, minimal design with a floating switch panel.
Launch at startup for easy access.
Keyboard hotkey [⌃ Ctrl] for quick switching.
What's Next?
The app is almost ready for launch — it’s in the final testing stages, and I’m planning to submit it to the App Store in about 2-3 weeks. Before I do, I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and any advice you might have. If you’re interested in trying out Type Switch or have any suggestions for improvement, feel free to share your ideas!
I’m excited to hear from the community and can’t wait to share this tool with the world.

They show how deep they had to go to find the original source of the claim that a single human's blood vessels, if lined up, would stretch 100,000km... and how that was quoted by so many that no one really know where the claim came from. And of course, it was wrong.
I assume that they will not hand out the weights to thousands of people. If they do, then I agree that they will eventually leak.

My best finds for second hand goods were found by intentionally searching obscure marketplaces. Telling a few ppl on HN probably wouldn’t make much of a difference, making a viral TikTok video about it might.
When it comes to writing, one of the best decisions I've made is to just start typing what I think, and then go back and proofread it, make edits sentence-by-sentence, figure out if things could be worded better, and finally, trim some fat if whatever I end up with feels too lengthy.

It helps you learn your own thought patterns and understand whether your logic is sound or not.

And you're right, getting started is the name of the game. Someone brilliant once said: beating "procrastination" is really just imagining yourself starting the task, instead of being in the middle of it or finishing it.

Instead of picturing the document full of paragraphs after writing for several hours, what does it look like for you to sit down at your desk or couch to write? Do you need coffee first? What's a good motivator for getting started? Can you find a new trigger to motivate you, like a snack? Some people like to reward themselves after doing a task, which can help, but I find myself saying: "Ooh, I'm going to brew some coffee before I start" and that gets me excited to follow through with whatever I set out to do.
The best I have got so far is to just treat if it as another thought. Another appearance in awareness. I don't have an answer.

There is a line in Upanishads that say something like why even the god doesn't know why it was created.
Oh hey, I had TB. It sucked. I had to be proper quarantined for 3 months, felt like shit for a whole year and a half, and nearly died because I didn't realize I had any symptoms. I thought I was just tired and depressed all the time because I hated my job, and then one day I collapsed from what I thought was a heart attack.

I was/am otherwise healthy and must have just drawn the short straw (or it was a very long dwelling infection from a trip abroad years earlier). I really wish we vaccinated for it like Europe. I'd have taken the little scar on my arm for reducing the already small chance of dealing with that shit.

This might shock you, but lot of Austrian employers behave like this: Hire and fire. Got sick? So long. This shouldn't be acceptable in an EU country. AK is also useless here because the laws are toothless.

Those exist in every other EU company where you can't lay off people just because you don't like their face anymore.

>Competition against Germany, Belgium, Sweden, or the Netherlands is in my own interest.

Yet those countries score better at innovation, entrepreneurship while having better worker rights and higher wages. How do you explain that? I'm not sure working yourself to death in a race to the bottom on lowering workers rights is a good strategy.
This should be a standard feature in all pianos, or at least on all half decent ones.
A very long time ago in the 90s I spent far too long creating gradients to make buttons in a software UI match those in the physical control panel. This was for a video editing research project. Both metallic and rubber buttons were used, and I wish I'd kept a screenshot somewhere, but NDAs and suchlike mean it has disappeared from the world.

This looks great, it'd be so nice to be able to just define buttons rather than painstakingly drawing them out (thank you for making it, and thanks for the nostalgia trip!)

Unhealthy people are more vulnerable to TB, absolutely. Infections in general are more prevalent in people who are underfed, or living in bad conditions. Other risk factors are exactly what you would expect: smoking, drinking, bad fitness level, and being young or old.

TB rates are basically a function of 1. how immune compromised your population is, and 2. How much access to healthcare there is in the country (poverty, basically).

The question of 'Why bring back extinct species?' is fundamentally the same as 'Why save species from extinction?'. It's unspoken but seems to be widely understood that biodiversity and preventing its permanent loss has inherent value. It sometimes has economic or ecological value too, or the potential in the future, but even when that's not the case most would agree we should aim to minimize extinction of other animals - if for no other reason than it being easier to drive a species to extinction than revive any of the billions of extinct species out there. (at least for now)

It's curious that the response to bringing back mammoths and less-stripey-zebras is so lukewarm when there's very little of the same criticism directed at efforts to save obscure species that are in decline. Say it was discovered that a small herd of quagga had survived since we thought they died out in 1883, but without human intervention they will soon due to habitat loss. Imagine: "Why would we want to save them? The world is inhospitable to them now, their population declined for a reason. They have no use to us, and their niche isn't one that couldn't be filled by living species that we could import. To keep them from going extinct would be a cruel and irrational act of ego."

For yourself, it's totally an individual decision based on your personal priorities and risk calculus. I'm a bit skeptical about purchasing refurb computer equipment in general because the support window is ticking down but certainly I have nothing against used and refurb goods for the home in general.

For companies, there's a lot to be said for standardization though, for my last job, I just used my own phones and computer gear anyway so it was what I wanted and I controlled it (other than MDM latterly on the phone).
