the US is a big place with large variance in care. Places with socialized/centrally managed medicine are arguably going to have less variance. As I argued, "I had better care", not that everyone has better care. As a techie

were you not employed by an employer that was paying your insurance premiums? Heck, when I was in california the startup I was at was paying almost my entire insurance premium. and in practice, I'd argue I had better quality of care f

apple should have an anti-theft mode. Where you can't track it, but they can give access to local law enforcement to track it, and therefore wont go into stalker mode / alerting people about it. If one is in close proximity to th

years ago on an ACM programming contest we had a problem that was given a starting and ending position on a chess board, find the minimum # of moves it takes for a knight to go from one to the next. the proper way to solve is this via bread

not silly if they have confidence that they will live in the place long enough to get paid back (and more). shortsighted to think otherwise. I've renovated kitchens in apartments Ive lived in with coordination with the landlord (when

no one is saying that you can't modify the system in this world. they are saying you can't run multiplayer on this system. Running multiplayer games isn't a right. Now, your issue is extended for instance when people are lo

I'm not arguing if the S&P is a better indicator of the US economy than USD or not. What I'm asking, to me it seems if the USD drops in value, but everything else stays the same (i.e. GOOG hasn't lost any real value if me

I've said this before, but given how fast machines can boot these days, why not simply reboot into a secure boot attested environment with minimal things loading besides the game. i.e. why not simply make it "XBox for the PC"

by compsciphd 9mo ago
yes, but could one also argue that due to currency weakening, the S&P's growth can simply be due to the weakened currency? If I can say something has an "absolute" value of X, but I denominate it in USD, which is normally

ok, 1) so would it be fair to modify my statement that it basically tries to cache forever unless its can't determine that its legally allowed to cache forever? 2) you're right, glanced at kubernetes (been a long time since I work

by compsciphd 9mo ago
ok, I guess I was wrong about the cache, but not the checksums. I was somewhat under the impression that it was forever due to the getting rid of vendoring. Getting rid of vendoring (to me) only makes sense if its cached forever (otherwis

by compsciphd 9mo ago
yes. From my understanding its stored forever in the proxy cache and your new tag will never be fetched by users who go through the language's centralized infrastructure (i.e. proxy). go can also validate the checksums (go.sum) against

I regularly got dunkin donuts, starbucks and the like gift cards for less the face value (sometimes half of face) and therefore strongly preferred using them when I shopped at those stores (at least when I had a balance).

the vast majority of gift card schemes allow you to get money into those systems at much less then the face value of the cards. This would kill that. the only gift cards that sell for basically face value are walmart and amazon. Almost e

right. this is me complaining about the spec, not the tools. I've worked on tooling in this space. I simply don't understand why there seems to be no desire to make a simple addition to the spec.

All these tools demonstrate a major flaw in OCI images. There is no good way to determine what image your current image was built on top of. You can try to infer it from having a world wide list of chainIds and associate known images with

I see that now, though I wonder if my assumption about reading 32KB aligned at a time, really does improve or not. PO works on the 32KB block (after PI fixes what it can of the 2KB blocks). So if PO works, it means that it was able to corre
