The more abstract and technical the subject matter the less likely that it will mirror a familiar real world experience and have a good word.

Using a real world name can actually be distracting because it may suggest attributes and behaviors which are not true of the thing.

This is why math papers use Greek letters. There is no words for “the amount of space where if the function is close enough than the cube of that function value will be within the initial tolerance requiring” so they just use “delta” and you learn the exact meaning of delta from its definition and usage.

I think this advice about “readable code” comes from every day business problems where there is a close correspondence between code processes and business processes.

Complex programs require expertise to understand, and only hubris would make you think longer names would substitute for studying the subject. Even “string” is technical jargon.
OP was just giving their opinions and telling their memories ("when i was younger")

People can remember incorrectly or wrongly, and things can change. You don't have to explain the inaccuracies all the time. Sometimes its okay to tell a story or a moment from memory and be wrong or incorrect.

It would be like correcting your grandfather who told stories of walking up hill both ways in 4ft of snow. "But grampa, this area has _never_ received 4ft of snow." That's not the point, per se.

LongChat for Ham Radio
This is what I’m trying to figure out. Medicare is kind of an advantage, but your out of pocket medical expenses in Thailand aren’t that bad unless you get cancer or something, then you just relocate back? American basic healthcare prices are just really messed up, so your insurance doesn’t really pay off until something serious happens.

Sounds like yet another way in which doctors are inferior to machine learning algorithms: A log of the patient's activities and symptoms, or some kind of daily journal would also be nice, but there's a lot of predictive anomaly detection algorithms that would do just fine with the raw data, finding patterns of activity and rest and adjusting for them.

Do I want to live in a country where it’s comfortable to be poor? That implies everything from people defending poor as a lifestyle, such as classmates insistently you that working in class is a stupid lifestyle choice, to people joining the country on the basis that they don’t like producing much, and living in a general country that is second at everything (or falls down to Chile level in terms of studying math in school).

That is the common way of current understanding. But there is problem.

So called 'terminal lucidity' exists sometimes.

One theory is that is enabled by the immune systems shutdown, so inflammation ceases to interfere for a short time.

The problem with that is it still fails to explain the few cases, where shortly post-mortem it is found that there is not much healthy/able to function somewhat normally brain left to speak of.

Rather 'spooky'.

There are a few answers to the long-term security budget:

1) We could maintain fees through compression, that is, by making each on-chain transaction representative of many off-chain transactions. This is beginning to happen with the lightning network, and other technologies are in the works to advance this concept.

2) Mining will become more integrated with other industrial and residential processes, which will reduce the cost of security, from a compensation standpoint. Think bitcoin miner water and space heaters in many homes, etc.

3) It's also likely that in the future institutions that rely heavily on bitcoin will voluntarily subsidize security to some extent, for the same reason they invest in vaults for other instruments. Personally I'm planning to start running a lottery miner at home just for the fun of it.

I often get stuck changing from reference to explanation in the middle of wirintg, so this is a great guide. Having a small How-To example in every reference entry for a API endpoint might be good, but you need to keep them seperate and concise, do not start with explanations.

Here is a extract from Ubuntus page about this:

> Writing security reference documentation, you will know that you should be producing clear and simple statements of fact. Explanation of a security feature or function, or showing how to use it – those don’t belong here. There is a place for them: a different place. If those things are required, then there should also be a security explanation topic, or a security how-to guide. This immediately makes life easier for the documentation author, who recognises that explaining and showing how-to are also important.

If for some reason we need to further commercialise the project all features that wouldn't be self hosted will live in the enterprise directory and will be developed by an in-house team not the open source community.
I'd like you to consider a different perspective. Maybe ask yourself if your current perspective is too self-focused and maybe also a perspective that lacks self-awareness.

======================

I think you might be using a different definition of "smalltalk" than most people.

Me, for example ... I don't talk about weather or sport. I won't pretend to be interested in 'em either.

And yet, I have no problem engaging even strangers for 30m or more at a time. I just pick something in context and mention it.

For example, if you can strike up, and then continue, a conversation with the person next to you in line for boarding a flight, then you're golden. I once lead with "That's a damn small plane[1]. I hit my head the first time I went into one of those." to a tall gentleman behind me in the line, and had a 30m conversation with someone who turned out to be a very interesting litigator.

I mean, if you're in a specific place, at a specific time, and cannot find anything contextual to use as a conversation starter, then I don't think that the problem is that the whole world is too dumb[2] for your level of "smalltalk" topics.

When you "connect", you're not looking to marry the person, just find something you both have in common. If you run into too many situations where you have absolutely nothing in common with people around you, you are the problem, not the people around you.

While I'm sure a wearable could be occasionally useful or even save a life, most don't do much. It's telling that mainstream fitness wearables tout their data collection ability but never use this data in marketing to prove they make people healthier. I think most fitness wearables are cashing in on pseudo medical device branding as a way to charge hundreds of dollars for electronics that cost very little to manufacture. I'd be wary of those kinds of devices if I were a doctor.

On the topic of SR specifically, what does it mean to be best in class? I am just a layperson who uses a SR tool or two and has a passing interest in the topic, but the Wikipedia article on SR gives the impression that there are a variety of algorithms out there and none are established by research to be definitively better than the others, in fact the Criticism section mentions a study which found that absolute spacing was just as good. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition#Research_and...

> people complained loudly and clearly that price of gas and eggs are their chief concerns

This is probably an artifact of how the media works.

People are concerned about prices but only some people are concerned about housing prices. The people who already own a house like high housing prices. Meanwhile everybody has to eat.

The media tries to maximize viewership so when they run the pricing story they're talking about high food prices (which everybody hates) instead of high housing prices (which only the people paying them hate but the people getting the money like). Which in turn causes people to be more concerned about food prices than housing prices because that's what the media is always talking about, even if the housing prices are what's taking the biggest chunk out of their wallet.

> How much should your BP go up when you are doing something strenuous? How much should it go down when you sleep? They don't know.

The point about BP and strenuous tasks highlights how useless this data is on its own: Random data points from uncontrolled scenarios mean very little. Blood pressure measurements performed in standard conditions (seated, stationary for several minutes, doing nothing else) are comparable. Blood pressure measurements taken in unknown conditions are not.

Hypochondriacs are especially bad at misinterpreting data from wearables and self-testing. The more data points they have, the more likely they are to convince themselves that they have a number of conditions.

Bill Watterson was strongly opposed to merchandising calvin and hobbes, claiming that displaying images on commercially sold products would devalue the characters and their personalities. Bill's stance against commercialism is the main reason why the series never made it to TV or movies.

> if net manufacturing and battery costs were to fall

That makes it even worse. If costs fall, competitive pressure will force you to lower the price of your new vehicles, which has a knock-on effect of reducing the resale value of each EV you get back from the consumer from leases that are ending.

Imagine a $50,000 vehicle. You write a lease that assumes that it will be worth $25,000 in 3 years. Instead of charging the customer $25,000 for the lease, you only charge them $15,000. When they return the vehicle, you sell it for $25,000 as planned. But the total amount of money you collected is $40,000 - a loss of $10,000. Now, what happens if net manufacturing and battery costs drop in those 3 years? Your new cars are on the lot for $40,000 and when the customer turns in their leased vehicle you can only find a buyer for it at $15,000. You've therefore collected $30,000 for your $50,000 car and have to eat a loss of $20,000.

Cheap leases get sales on the books today, but come with guaranteed losses years down the road (and you hope the market doesn't tank in the meantime). It might work out well in the end, but rarely does.

Mosty because of marketing and social medias.

When you are targeted 24h/d by ads on what shit you should buy or subscribe to and you feel you couldn't afford 10% of it while your social medias feed seems to show a lot of people enjoying them, you feel like cost of living is way too high.
Got some specific references for the days that was required?

I think a lot of people are so focused on "optimal" solutions they fail out or burn out quickly, ignoring the ugly "just loop a bunch of things" option.

I'm by far an expert on AoC, but the number of people I see every year on day 2 or 3 saying "IT'S TOO MUCH" because they were trying to implement some crazy algorithm when basic array operations and for loops would solve it...

I flunked out of high school. I don't even properly understand algebra, never mind any sort of complex math. I have no CS degree. I've completed most of it in some gross PHP that completed before next year on a single core in an old laptop.

If "knowledge of obscure algorithms" is a requirement either I'm a once in a generation genius or... it's not a requirement.
Yep. And it has to do with how complex the rulesets are, not just how many rules there are. If there are dozens of rules that could apply at any moment, that's much harder to deal with (and learn and teach) than sub-rulesets that are compartmentalised (like when in battle, use all the following rules).
If so then its better if it did worse economically until homelessness becomes zero or close enough.

Because they have to be sound of mind enough to hold the policy to begin with.

Also most health insurance policies (and socialized policies for that matter) require adherence to a particular protocol, to qualify for treatment, which is difficult for those who are addled.
> Can I presume that this is the burner account of some particular billionaire if you are that good at recognizing the social situations?

I'm pretty certain GP isn't as good as he thinks he is. Literally no one can tell the difference between me making smalltalk because I think I may need you later and me making smalltalk because I am genuinely interested in you.

The reason I say this is because even I cannot tell tell the difference, because I tend to find something interesting in everyone. I've made smalltalk with literal ditch-diggers, and two weeks later with a billionaire, and the conversations were both pretty much the same.

1. Mental illness is on the rise. Causes are uncertain

2. It's not clear the cause is medical, unless you classify almost all human experience as a medical event (hence the parallel with marriage).

3. Insurance depends on people being of sound mind. Especially with what we have today, you have to be of sound enough mind to administer it all.

4. Maybe health insurance is not the right approach to mental problems, and maybe no insurance is. We need some other way. I don't know that way.

Any given borrower, on their own, is unlikely to be dumb.

The market can be irrational far longer than they can be solvent, however, and not being ‘dumb’ can make that worse.

Pre’08, you had to be dumb as a borrower in 90% of markets, or you’d be flat out unable to buy anything. As to if continuing to buy in those conditions was dumb or not, is mostly something that can only be judged retroactively.

Odin's way does not mean that you have to do something for every Exception that is thrown to you.
Also, in Odin SQLException can not exist, it is too generic, but SQLClosedConnException which is more specific can give a different story to a stack trace, which you can handle.

For example, in Authentication_Filter_Error union, you will have another union called SQL_Verify_Account_Error, that it will contain SQL_Error enum with the Closed_Conn value.

Imagine your stack trace like this Authentication_Filter_Error -> SQL_Verify_Account_Error -> SQL_Error.Closed_Conn

Now when you know that can happen (through CDD), you can create a switch statement to catch the specific stack trace, to call the system administrator in the middle of the night to check what happens.

This is how software should handle its errors and there is not even a need to log it.

In your scenario, you wake up, you go to work, everyone is screaming at the office, you check the logs, you see the problem, and then you call the system administrator for the problem.
