I don't disagree, but stock trading ads are in some ways already more strictly regulated than gambling ads here. Gambling ads are required to have a vague "please gamble responsibly" statement, but ads for CFD trading platforms are required to have a prominent warning stating the exact percentage of their accounts which lose money (often >75%). The gambling ads don't have to tell you the real odds of coming out ahead.

I read the project's Readme and all I'm left with is "why?".

I use Devbox[1] and get access to the entire Nix ecosystem, done.

I'd enjoy reading if you have any pointers to such projects. Not coming up with any from web search and asking a LLM. Closest might be the Hijaz Railway and maintaining a large military presence in desert regions.
We have the Twinkly lights and they are pretty neat. You put them on your tree and you don't have to be careful about where or how you lay them out because step 2 is point your phone camera at the tree and it turns the lights on and off to map where each bulb is. You move around the tree until they are all mapped (lights go from orange to green when mapped).

The app has a bunch of canned patterns and there's an online site for user designs and of course you can design your own. It's a lot of fun and they aren't terribly expensive (there was a good black friday sale).

It's just so great to know Notre Dame been restored successfully.

Why? If medicare is ended and there's no more private insurance, MA also would cease to exist. You're just bad at comprehension and probably didn't read the article based on context.
All PPP have levels of grift. The only ones that don't have overwhelming bureaucracy oversight that makes them really, really inefficient and costly.

In almost all cases, it's better for the state to build themselves, then lease/rent to private companies, or operate themselves in some cases.

Basically free market is shit at central planning, and the state is shit at offering diversity and finding out preferences.
To me, that sounds like a good life to live.
I wonder if you misunderstood what mise is based on your mention of "packaging challenges". mise deals with language runtimes and dev tools—it doesn't manage dependencies or package anything.

I often hear suspicion about mise for this reason from people that haven't used it. I suppose it's not surprising. That said, I have spent over a decade in the developer productivity space as well as hundreds if not thousands of hours working on mise in the last 2 years—if there is someone that can build this I'm probably the right guy for the job.

Particularly with dev tools, it's long been the case that mise has solved this problem. Improvements are continuing to be made with things like improving supply chain security and ergonomics with python—though it's not like the python community itself has its DX figured out.

Of course I'm still fixing bugs pretty regularly and that probably won't ever change but there are hundreds of thousands of developers out there using mise (kind of a guess, but I'm pretty sure) and it's working great for them. It's in the top #100 tools in homebrew now: https://formulae.brew.sh/analytics/install-on-request/30d/

This definitely isn't some scrappy project—I've devoted much of my life to this problem and I think all evidence points it it being a resounding success.
Dev Drive isn't because Defender is so bad but because Dev behavior can look like malicious behavior. Creating a bunch of random executables, connecting to running processes, decompiling files. Stuff that would be malicious behavior from normal user but normal for a dev.

What is this referring to? What TV quizzes and what "most watched" list?
"This government is taking action now to end the targeting of junk food ads at kids, across both TV and online.",

it's a quote from the article, it's very likely they'd ban ads targeted at children.

That’s not what the article says. It says patients have access to the treatment for free, but sometimes delivery can be delayed by a few months due to shortages. The study only considered people without health insurance and says people with health insurance don’t face the same supply shortages.

> Most patients (n = 172, 83.9%) reported at least one failed delivery of biological medicine in the last year, with a single shortage in forty-two patients (24.4%), at least two shortages in forty-seven patients (27.3%), and three or more shortages in seventy-eight patients (45.3%). The average time to regularize the distribution was up to 1 month in 44 cases (25.6%), up to 2 months in 64 cases (37.2%), and more than 3 months in 56 patients (32.6%)
this is exactly the type of policy you'd expect from a governing body that is completely out of touch with the working class. I can imagine the cambridge, UCL, and oxford graduates patting eachother on the back after the meeting, congratulating themselves on solving childhood obesity.

more so in the past, there was a lot more food advertising directed at kids, because the thought was that kids could annoy their parents enough to drag the whole family to an establishment. and some marketing tricks work a lot better on children because of their social settings and general impulsiveness (e.g. "All the cool kids have Lunchables")
That's what the end of my last comment was trying to touch on - timestamps are always imperfect for certain edge cases, but I would say that scheduling radio telescope time probably doesn't meaningfully benefit from trying to latch itself on to this RFC either, in that case?

The problem of "All future dates beyond the current year are currently unknown" is unsolvable in a very different way to "cultures and systems might change in the future".

(Though, wouldn't you be fine in your example? "X time after TS" wouldn't change, right? If you need atomic time anyways.)
I've used Devbox for two years for my projects and any work I've done for my clients.

>it only became a partisan issue when 50% of the population started getting the "scientific information about efficacy of wearing masks" via Mary from Pennsylvania on "X"

Really? Only then? No partisan aspect to official narratives about masks and virus origin being practically imposed upon the public via all narrative-sympathetic media and social media channels?

No partisan aspect to the blatant hypocrisy of BLM protests being no problem in terms of mass gatherings, while any other type of mass grouping was considered wrong, and something only done by ignorant covid-deniers?

Not to even mention the whole "don't use masks you selfish pig, no wait! use masks, yes, use them you ignorant bumpkin!" debacle...

I guess none of these wonderfully varied and acrobatic narratives in the least bit created good reason to make large numbers of people start mistrusting the hell out of a whole range of politicians and media personalities.

And there isn’t anything wrong with that at all. Kids are, in my opinion, literally the only life choice you can’t walk away from having made. That is extremely high stakes, and not everyone has the appetite for it or desire to engage in it.

That doesn’t make anyone who has kids or wants to have kids better or worse. Plenty of people have kids and should not have, and they end up neglecting their kids or abusing them.

Have kids if you want to. Don’t if you don’t. Just realize that if you wait too long to make a choice, those options become much more limited and lean much more toward not having them. And if you make the choice without thinking, you’re just gambling, but you’re gambling with someone’s life, not to mention your own.

If it sounds scary… good. That means you’re thinking about it. You just have to decide if you want to do this particularly scary thing, and if the potential reward outweighs the risk.

And, I think it’s important to be okay with that choice changing in either direction. My wife didn’t want kids, and that opinion has changed, through no pushing of my own.

(The proverbial you, not you specifically, since it sounds like you’ve decided)

I’m not saying feel sorry for him. I’m not even saying don’t indulge in schadenfreude. Where you should know it crosses the line is in celebrating the killing and the killer. Because I promise you that someone with equal or more conviction in their righteousness would similarly take pleasure in the murder if someone you find, if not virtuous, not deserving to be murdered.

Opinion polls arent the same as elections and the people voted in favor of expansion of Medicare Advantage whether that's their preference or not.

> Also on the banned list are products such as chickpea or lentil-based crisps, seaweed-based snacks and Bombay mix as well as energy drinks, hamburgers and chicken nuggets.

The foods mentioned in the article are not an exhaustive list of all the foods for which the government has banned advertising. It's possible they've also banned ads for salami, sausages and hot dogs, but the article didn't mention it.

Probably because, compared to burgers, there aren't that many ads for salami, sausages and hot-dogs during daytime TV, so it's not seen as much of a problem, or as worth mentioning.

But because you mention it - how many daytime ads do you see for high quality burgers, like Honest Burger, as compared to ads for McDonalds and Burger King?
I think a fair and reasonable advertisement policy is to ban all advertisements during "children's programming hours", or 0800 to 1600 when school is not in session. During "Prime Time" hours of 0500-0800 and 1600-2300, adverts should be limited to luxury goods (e.g., fashion), government PSAs, and non-addictive goods or services (NO drugs, NO tobacco, NO gambling, and NO stock trading, to name but a few). Between 2300 and 0400, allow "free reign" on subscription channels but still bar "vice" or addiction ads.

We've got a century of data showing laissez-faire approaches to advertising results in maximum harm to a society, and ample recent data from the internet age showing how dark patterns in psychology are exploited by advertisers to drive outcomes.

We have to do better, and the UK's step is at least an attempt to stem the harm. I can't fault entities from at least trying to do better.
It's interesting that one of the tax free investment/savings choices in the UK is basically a lottery.
Don't know what schools typically require these days. But I generally agree that requiring laptops, especially in younger grades, seems unnecessary.

I worked in medical-adjacent areas for a decade. I dated a doctor, and I asked him what people feel in his hospital about that.

He said that basically NOBODY has any sympathy for this CEO. The most concern is at the level of "we shouldn't condone murders". And you don't see even uglier statements because people are very much aware of medical ethics boards.

And that's an opinion from a highly-paid medical professional.
Just.

It is a less heavyweight make. Similar syntax and behavior, no .PHONY, a couple of helper functions and behaviors. It is designed as a task runner rather than a build system.
If you put all the money in a suitcase and pull it out $12,000 at a time, then yeah. You can also invest it at just 4% yield (extremely do-able in risk-free investments), and also not spend like a lunatic (seriously $144k a year while not working?). Suddenly that $1 million, spent at a more reasonable $6k a month in a mid-COL city will last you...a couple decades

The question is whether the Chinese economy will take a similar trajectory now to the Japanese one in the late eighties and through the nineties, with a period of extreme growth followed by mostly stagnation.

It could very well be that the Chinese model is good at catch-up growth so to speak, up to the level of an advanced economy.

I agree with the op that the jury is out on this and it might go different ways.

Traditional Medicare plus a type F supplement covers just about everything at 100%. Except hearing aids, glasses, and dental work. You can go to any doctor that accepts Medicare.

Good grief. I can only repeat: the discussion about telegraph sabotage was a senseless digression, unrelated to the subject at hand. And I think pointing that out for the people who might not understand the distinction is important. I'm sorry if you think that's "bootless", but in the real world hijacking discussions for unrelated minutiae is considered bad form. Go post an article about telegraph sabotage. The real internet is very robust.

Been using Vimium for years too and it's great, but it's really not the same. The late, great Vimperator extension was more comparable to QuteBrowser but it stopped functioning (on Firefox) when they switched from XUL to web extensions.

Vimium mainly gives you keyboard navigation, but QuteBrowser removes the address, tab and bookmark bars and instead gives you keyboard access to everything via the very Vim-like status bar at the bottom. Incidentally this also frees up quite a bit of vertical screen real estate, which is a big deal to me. Browser settings, scripts, etc. are also all accessible via the keyboard — Vim style.

Edit: The lack of a solid Bitwarden integration in QuteBrowser is kind of hurting though.
>> It came from the first article that I linked, by a medical doctor and professor of epidemiology. From that article:

>>> Over the ensuing years, after its emergence in 1977, the virus went on to infect a significant portion of the worldwide population, killing roughly 700,000 people.

That estimate is not referenced in the paper you link. I looked for a different source estimating the number of deaths. I found this article [1] that reports an earlier estimate of a mortality rate of less than 5/100,000. "Mortality rate" is taken over the total of a population (not infections). With a mortality rate of less than 5/100,000, for the virus to kill 700,000 people, as in the claim in the article you link, it would have to circulate in a population of 14,000,000,000 (see rule of three).

That's not possible.

>> If I had to guess knowing only that such a novel pathogen had just been introduced, I'd thus bet with p ~ 5% that it was a research accident.

Does that mean you believe every recent pandemic has a ~5% chance to be a "research accident"? SARS, MERS, HIV, Ebola, mpox, Zika, etc, all had a ~5% chance to be research accidents or is Covid-19 special?

What happens to this 5% number as we see more pandemics? Does it go up or down? Can you say?

>> In 1977, an H1N1 influenza virus appeared and circled the globe. Colloquially referred to as the “Russian flu,” as the USSR was the first to report the outbreak to the World Health Organization (WHO), the 1977 strain was actually isolated in Tientsin, Liaoning, and Jilin, China, almost simultaneously in May of that year (1). It was atypically mild for a new epidemic strain; the influenza mortality rate (IMR) of the 1977 flu was calculated to be <5 out of 100,000, less than typical seasonal influenza infections (IMR of 6/100,000 people) (2). In addition, the 1977 strain appeared to affect only those 26 years of age and younger (3). These odd characteristics turned out to have a simple scientific explanation: the virus was not novel. The 1977 strain was virtually identical to an H1N1 influenza strain that was prevalent in the 1950s but had since dropped out of circulation (4).

Yea, fixing this would require decades long effort that is extremely difficult without catalyst.

Closest US ever came was Great Depression and unlike Europe, US didn't experience massive hardship after WWII.
