It depends. At some point often it switches to palliative care, rather than treatment. That point is not “there’s literally nothing else we can try”, it’s “the remaining options are inadequately proven, too expensive, high risk, or not ef

There is ultimately a monetary value of extended life. In single payer systems, that’s determined by a body whose responsibility is to provide the most effective healthcare to all its citizens given a limited budget. In the US, the monetary

That’s exactly the kind of prescriptivism up with which I will not put.

And I’m going to continue to blithely ignore outdated grammar rules.

I think that’s more of a question of semantics than colour theory, but maybe? Is pink just light red? Feels like the answer should be no, and that undermines my basic premise above, so I find myself doing mental gymnastics trying to answer

Tertiary also by definition means “third” rather than “fourth”.

White and grey are shades, rather than typical colours. Any hue with 0 saturation will be a shade between white and black. (Yes, probably there are arguments against this, but in terms of colour theory for dummies.)

They do. My point is that for the vanishingly small number of use cases where you need to write application logic in PocketBase, and you need to write it in JavaScript, and you need to use unsupported super modern ES6 features, you might pr

I think probably if you worked through line-by-line you’d find a lot of it is valid ES5 as well (and GoJa does actually support a lot of ES6, see https://github.com/dop251/goja/milestone/1?closed=1 ). Also, wh

by d1sxeyes 2y ago
Well yes but how often do you have to write a JS extension for PocketBase that needs to be super performant and use modern JS features?

Dark chocolate has about half as much sugar as milk chocolate. Seems reasonable to be OK with eating a bit of dark chocolate but not milk or white.

Yeah I also don’t think this is correct for SvelteKit.

Yes, because basically it was resulting in clever lawyers being able to get any and all computer evidence against their clients rejected as hearsay. The change in 1984 wasn't a 'fix', it threw the baby out with the bathwater.

It's a misunderstanding that the infallibility is enshrined in law. I'll quote a post I made in an earlier thread. 1. Historically, mechanical tools are presumed to be working well. This makes things simpler. The example quoted by

While I agree to an extent, every company would theoretically want to “fix the environment” if it made commercial sense to do so. Some environments just can’t be fixed. The employer’s needs and the employee’s have diverged (or potentially w

Yes, maybe should have written “increase tax”, but assumed most of the people reading would understand.

No-one actually wants to do this but the answer is to tax fuel. UK road tax for example already taxes bigger/heavier cars more (albeit not particularly granularly), so there’s your weight component. Fuel consumption is a decent proxy f

Same on my Dell Latitude. Seems a very odd design decision. They've also centrally aligned the switch so that it's not immediately obvious from the switch position whether the cover is iver the lens or not. Super annoying.

The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that completely failing is the correct approach. There are two possible causes for the system not being able to process a flight plan: 1. The flight plan was really invalid. In this case th

Thanks for the correction! Homemade bread is a processed food, not an ultra processed food.

From what I understand, technically yes. I think there’s a lot of work to be done on categorisation but the underlying principle tends to be fairly decent: the more stuff you do to your raw ingredients, the less healthy they become.

It becomes tricky because what does 'factory' mean? Especially once it's scaled to the size of a small town, you start to see town-like buildings popping up. There's some stuff which is arguably necessary for the factory

That adds a huge amount of overhead in terms of messaging and possibly adds delays in flight plans being accepted. The way this is supposed to work is that downstream systems should accept valid flight plans. I would say that it’s not the

The study does not quote miles driven in their specific sample so I can’t talk to this or answer your question directly, and the national numbers don’t cover injuries. The numbers in the survey are also a bit vague about injuries, and inclu

by d1sxeyes 2y ago
We are talking about excess deaths, not injuries. It feels like the direction you are taking is going further and further away from the original point, and you are misrepresenting what I have said to fit your argument. I did not say that in

Yeah, I was not really trying to argue that that was actually the case, so won’t waste time trying to defend the merits of the model I pulled out of my arse. Alternatively then, perhaps safety developments in cars made them safer to drive a
