I had to wait almost six months to get her treatment here as well because I couldn't afford it. At least in the UK I wouldn't have been out the cash.

Also, I hear lots of horror stories about wait-times in universal healthcare systems, but that always seems have smuggled in the premise of "you don't have wait times like this in the US", which has certainly not been my experience.

I wanted to see an allergist in 2022, so I went to my health insurance portal, and called a few in the area, and the earliest appointment that I could find was almost four months out. My wife had to wait for months even from our good insurance to get approved for proper medication for her eye problem. What insurance do you have where you're not stuck with long bureaucratic waiting lists?
The way Writer works with styles is same how every other type setting program does it. Indesign, Scribus, Affinity, Quark. Not sure how this would be out of the ordinary. Maybe MS Word doesn't have paragraph styles at all? Not sure i haven't used in in a long while.

Character styles are settings for selected group of characters (things ike emphasis, italic, underline). Paragraph styles are set for whole paragraph you are in. You make new paragraph by hitting enter. If you hit enter twice you make two paragraphs. In paragraph style you define how paragraphs should be separated (empty line, first line indent, rule whaever you want). You should never do what can be done using paragraph style by writing them because later when you want to change them you would have to change it everywhere instead just changing style.
> There's no current methodology or algorithms to deal with triangular layouts, etc.

I believe there are rasterization algorithms that can sample the ideal infinite-resolution picture according to any sampling kernel (i.e. shape or distribution of light) you desire. They may not be cheap, but then computer graphics is to a great extent the discipline of finding acceptable levels of cheating in situations like this. So this is definitely solvable. Incompatibility with manual hinting tuned to one specific sampling grid and rasterization algorithm is the greater problem.

I find that hard to believe. I've heard claims JIT can beat C for years, but they usually involve highly artificial microbenchmarks (like Fibonacci) and even for a high performance JITed language like Java it ends up not beating C. There's no way YJIT will.

The YJIT website itself only claims it is around twice as fast as Ruby, which means it is still slower than a flat earth snail.

The benchmarks game has YJIT and it's somewhere between PHP and Python. Very slow.
Yes, the US is an entertainment tour de force, but what about technology products? How willing are Canadians to ditch:

- Apple

- Microsoft

That's what will be interesting to see. If they do ditch these companies, it'll also be interesting to see whether a dominant alternative arises.

Hang on there: the serde issue drama would’ve happened in any other ecosystem and doesn’t quite belong in this list, because it was about shoving a pre-compiled binary into the supply chain.

So should heterosexual couples also be hidden? After all, being perceived seems to be "shoving it down others throats". I want them to take down every show with a married couple cast. And all resources on marriage, love, or children? Right into the pyre.

Or can we at least be honest and just say it's about erasing the queer community yet again? The least y'all can do while punching down is own up to it

The Death of the Web (2024)
What I'm hearing is that the nature of the issue was recognized - that this was a breaking change; but that the magnitude of the change and the scale of the impact of that break was underestimated.

TBH that does not inspire confidence. I would expect that something claiming or aspiring to exhibit good engineering design would, as a matter of principle, avoid any breaking change of any magnitude in updates that are not intended to include breaking changes.
I don't have exact numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised if 80-90% of google ad revenue comes from the ad prices they can charge for US users. I would be shocked if the percentage was less than 50-60% of revenue from US alone, which would put the value extraction per user for google at ~10$/month/user

Never experienced what you describe. My pediatric practice is the largest in the state and has like 10 doctors and 10 NPs. We can see whoever we want.

Maybe the health care conglomerates in my city are decent but I’ve never ever tried to book any appointment and been told they are out of network. Never had a hospital experience where some random doctor was out of network but everyone else is.
You can just run test multiple times to eradicate this possibility or you can confirm it with another method.
“As patient you need to track who is in an out of networK”

I just specify my insurance provider/plan in zocdoc and generates a list of doctors who are in network and their calendar of availability. I think this was a bigger hassle 10 years ago, yes.
I support them ($10/mo) because they do a good job and I figured, if I pay, then the likelihood of them using sketchy ways of making money is reduced.
> Some things are expensive and yet we still understand they are a good and humane thing to do.

I think this is often a sticking point for agreement. It is hard to get buy in without some level of guardrails on cost and impact. I dont want to bet my house, retirement, and children's future on the promise socialized healthcare will be a net savings for both the public and for me.

For this reason, I think opt-in Medicare is a reasonable middle path, where governments can demonstrate the cost reductions and care, allowing people to voluntarily convert at their own pace.

This would go a long way do dealing with the risk aversion, but I think many people ostensibly for socialized healthcare are too scared test if it could actually compete on price and value.
you can pay for a same day private GP appointment (~£150)

they can refer in the same way an NHS GP can, and you can normally get a same week appointment

Personally I'd go with the "biggest worries graph" for an explanation as to why I avoid rust like the plague. If you have half of all respondents say that it's not used enough the corollary they seem to have derived is "let's force it everywhere so it does get used more". Meanwhile forth people are hacking away on building a gui in 300 bytes in a mailing list open since the 80s.

I know which of the two languages was easier and more pleasant to hire for - which should be impossible as I kept getting told no one uses forth.

I think its gotta be just interesting on the theoretical side around learning/cognition. Otherwise yeah, its like learning exactly how salty something is when you taste it: not a total waste of time maybe, but not directly beneficial for you as the cook.

In school, at least when I was there, ear training was a combination of recognizing harmony, rhythm, and simple melodies with an arbitrary key, ontop of, of course, sight singing. It is of course quite sufficient to have this skill with all of that, but hardly necessary!
I think this is partially correct but as the center moved rapidly to the right I’d say you need to study early 20th century governments and the arc of the US government as they decline into fascism. This is characterized primarily by privatization (and ofc surveillance and militarization of police.) In practice this means that the corps become a government just one that has zero accountability so people can’t use words like “authoritarian”
"Damaged" has a particular connotation that is one particular opinion, but we can certainly say they are very different, and presumably got even more different over time from their starting point which was already very different
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Injections.
the problem with mail-based patch management is that it doesn't scale well, management wise... when you have hundreds of patches and multiple reviewers who can review them, Github/Gitlab environments make it easier to prioritize the patches, assign who will do the review, filter the patches based on tags, and keep track of what wasn't reviewed yet...,

mail-based patch management is fine for smaller projects, but Linux kernel is too big by now.. it sure is amazing how they seem to make it work despite their scale, but it's kinda obvious by now, that some patches can go unnoticed, unprioritized, unassigned, ...

and open source is all about getting as many developers as possible to contribute to the development. if I contribute something and wait months to get it reviewed, it will deter me from contributing anything more, and I don't care what's the reason behind it. the same goes for if I contribute something and receive an argument between two or more reviewers whether it's the right direction or not and there's no argumentative answer from a supervisor of the project and this situation goes on for months...

UNH makes low operating margins. If they they took those margins to zero, there would not be a noticeable increase in the amount of care they fund.
Might I ask, which specific decisions are you talking about? Please provide supporting evidence.

I don't write this flippantly. You may have some excellent points, but in this environment, I would love to read more than just a broad statement. This website is one of the last places where we might expect such a thing.
We have original secret technology that beats state of the art but we can't tell that deepfake is detectable with naked eye? Likely

I think everyone on this thread is aware that it's an arbitrary line.

That's where the "how rich is too rich?" comment comes from.

That's where the "Let’s start somewhere. We can adjust if we need."

The "start somewhere" is meant to be read in good faith as something achievable.

The history of US taxation shows us that 94% on taxable income over about $2.5 million is achievable, while you have no evidence that 100% taxation above $100 per month is doable.

You can nitpick my examples, but there's plenty more I can do. Why is a 29 year old adult prohibited from being Senator? Why is 65 mph a legal speed limit but 65.1 mph illegal? Why is the reporting limit for cash payments at $10,000 and not $15,000 or $8,000?

When road speed limits for machines were first put into place, the idea wasn't to start and 1 mph and work up from there. They already had vehicles that could do 10mph, and the 4 mph limit was a good walking speed for the flag bearer.

And the recent feedback from Wales is that lowering the urban speed limit from 30 mph to 20 mph reduced the number of people who were killed or seriously injured, by 28 per cent, suggesting the limit was too high, if human lives are important.
> burnout was happening anyway but blaming others is a good smoke-screen.

Oh no. I'm convinced majority of burnouts are almost entirely caused by dealing with shitty people and/or shitty processes.

Shitty processes sometimes happen without shitty people, the people involved just let it happen.

You must have missed the part where the other treatment isn't just cheaper but also notably better for their quality of life. Telling someone to just stop worrying about it is awful.
If your thesis is true, then there are also fewer people paying for parking. When the parking lot owners notice this, they will probably lower prices.
> The unstated downside

It is clearly stated in the blog post :)

We even considered variations of having some settings preserved in local storage and impact of that on anonymity. Ultimately decided that was not worth it.

They are indeed labels, just like complex numbers are labels and just like natural numbers are labels. All of them can be regarded as imaginary if one wants to nitpick but all are very useful imaginary models
Kagi's privacy guarantee is more of a "trust me bro" and I say that as a Kagi subscriber. While they may claim that they preserve privacy or anonimity as long as it's tied to a user account, or payment information nothing prevents them from associating searches with user. Even protonmail enabled logging for a particular user at one point. Their guarantee is on the same level.

At the same time, privacy pass is a very foreign concept to me. If they are transferable between devices, one could generate a couple and resell them over some other medium (even in person).
This is kernel development we're talking about. It progresses carefully, not a the breakneck pace of a continuous integration SaaS platform that is single-minded about pushing features out as quickly as possible.

A better analogy would be like an API inside of a monolithic app that has multiple consumers on different teams. One team consumes the API and wants to be notified of breaking changes. The other team says "Nah, too much work" and wants to be able to break the API without worrying about consequences.

If having multiple consumers of an API or interface is a goal, you make communication a priority.

Neat! It's rare to see that a service you use actually does something that benefits the user rather that itself. An unexpected, but a really pleasant surprise.

I wish this extension would integrate better with the browser by automatically understanding the context. That is, if I'm in a "regular" mode it'll use my session, but if I'm in a "private browsing" mode (`browser.extension.inIncognitoContext`) it'll use Privacy Pass to authenticate me, without me having to explicitly do anything about it.

That race isn't biological isn't really up for debate, scientifically. You can believe that scientific consensus is too "woke" or has a systemic bias against the idea or whatever, but the consensus is soundly at "race is not biological".

I'm personally conservative in my political views, but I don't think that means I must reject scientific consensus.

I love the silent omission in all these "waiting time" arguments... the majority of America doesn't regularly get healthcare and delays diagnostics and treatment because they can't afford it. So those "wait times" are low because The Poors don't burden the system by actually being taken care of.
If your parking lot is full, then that still means that all the people who came later won't be able to park. Raising the price excludes a different set, but it's not immediately obvious to me which one is better.
There are 'hacks' around this, which style one toolkit/widget set from another, in combination with themes/styles for these. Not for any combination by far, but some do exist. I think that started with RedHats Bluecurve. And then got harder with with later GTK3 and their forced (lib)Adwaita-crap and CSD.
But they still couldn't do accounting / query limiting for users on a limited queries per month plan. So you could do "yes you have assistant" or "no you don't" but their $5/month taster plan has a query limit.

Yeah this is almost common at this point, specifically with carbon nano structures. The reason why is it is very expensive to manufacture specific structures but cheap and easy to make a ton of random structures. So yeah you "just" sort through the random ones, of course sorting through to find the desired structure can be fantastically difficult, but hey it works!

This is also why imaginary numbers aren't really imaginary either because real things in the physical world are well-modeled by the operations in the complex plane. When you're in R2 you do some hairy trig or switch to polar cords to express rotations orrrr you switch to the complex plane and multiply by i.
(vlad here) Rather, we are opportunistic about it and we want to focus on things that make impact (which most of the time is search, not billing). If there is enough demand, we will work on Monero support - and yes I agree, buying privacy pass tokens, without even needing an account, is one of those super-cool use cases.
I would really appreciate a way to make the information output denser. I know a lot of people like space, but a dense layout really works better for some people, so that I can see more of the output on a single screen at the same time.
Surely price caps are the solution here, no? I don’t want big tickets items like Total Hip Replacements price-capped but referrals certainly are not a high-skilled line item.
Yes, the free market medicine solves some of the socialized medicine problems.
Kinda depends on if you have the 500 quid to begin with. If it's between having a roof over your head and food in your belly, and your kids', and seeing an ophthalmologist who's just gonna make a referral to another specialist which you have to wait another month for, it's a shit question no matter how you juggle it. The question though is how do you want to pay for the £2,500 laser surgery (per eye) that comes out of meeting with the ophthalmologist? Say, instead, you've got a kidney something or other and need dialysis. A single £500 session to get things tip top shape doesn't sound too bad. It'll hurt but I can get £500 together for an emergency treatment if I hit up everybody I know including rich uncle Joey. But let's say now it's a chronic condition and you need that dialysis three times a week for the rest of your life. Uncle Joey better be real rich and feeling really generous.

There was plenty of indefensible behavior in the Actix debacle, but the reason it blew up was because the maintainer was genuinely wrong and was being a jerk on top of it. The sequence of events was:

1) Issue found by Shnatsel

2) Issue closed as harmless to users by fafhrd91

3) Issue proven harmful to users by Nemo157 and reopened by JohnTitor

4) Issue fixed and closed by fafhrd91

5) Issue proven unfixed and proposed new patch by Nemo157

6) New patch commented "this patch is boring" by fafhrd91

7) Issue is deleted

8) Fix is reversed by fafhrd91, issue still present

http://web.archive.org/web/20200116231317/https://github.com...

A maintainer that rejects a fix for an issue that was proven harmful to users on the basis that it was "boring" and then deletes the issue is a bad maintainer. Death threats and abuse were definitely not the right answer, but public criticism is not unreasonable in such a case. If it were just a hobby project and advertised as such then that would be one thing, but he plastered info about how it was used production by a bunch of big companies on the website. That is not how someone who calls their code "production-ready" acts.
At some point being assimilated by China starts to look like a good option. Why blow up fabs if you join willingly, and then its China who is blocking US from buying chips made on latest nodes.
