One thing you can do is make the extension source-available.

I do the same thing, but it sucks having to literally dedicate a couple cores and a few gigs of RAM to a virtual machine. It's worth using nix on macos - takes a few hoops to get running, but it's worlds better than brew. Albeit,

I hope this takes off. Ride-hailing apps always seemed like a model that was extremely conducive to a cooperative, worker-owned model. I would gladly (and will try to next time I'm in NYC) use this service over Uber or Lyft. Power to t

I can't recommend The Art of Electronics highly enough - it's way more intuitive and informative than any other resource on the subject I've found. It's exceptionally great when paired with the self-paced lab manual Lear

Or you could use the FOSS alternative you can host yourself, Apache Guacamole[0]. EDIT: Interesting. It seems you actually work for/with a company affiliated with Shells? If so, can you do a compare/contrast with Guacamole, AWS Wo

Honestly, I'm more inclined to just mail someone some cash in exchange for their services printing/binding/mailing the book back. Seems a little more straightforward than transferring bitcoin and having a noisy drone drop a b

In a sense some may find this more of a band-aid than anything else, but I've found 95% of the book I want to read are available through libgen[0] and close to 99% of papers through sci-hub [1]. Sure enough, the book referenced in the

Zulip really hits the sweet spot for a communication tool. Especially with large amounts of users communicating across many different threads. The FHIR community "chatroom"[0] is a Zulip server and is indispensable for communicati

It would be truly impressive if the thousands of developers of the Linux kernel had, over the course of 30 years, managed to create an operating system that physically destroys your computer. I've half a mind that this comment is meant

This article, though not exactly thorough, does have some interesting anecdotes. I think an important take-away here is to realize that there are many non-conventional paths through the educational system, for better or for worse. I took a

I'm a little confused how the author could come to the conclusion Deno is not ready for AWS Gateway integration, when they openly admit the main reason for this is that Deno is downloading all packages on a cold start, and that there a

Wow, Aphyr is on a roll! Mongo, PostgreSQL and Redis-Raft analyses all published in a window of ~5 weeks! I really enjoy the Jepsen analyses and they've made me think a lot harder about distributed systems. Thanks!

Wow, so cool to see someone reference Jon Young on HN. I was about 12 or so when was gifted a copy (is that an appropriate term for a cassette pack?) of Seeing Through Native Eyes[0], which I devoured. That led me to his book Advanced Bird

jq has been a lifesaver for me parsing json in bash. Of course, it's an external utility not present by default in most systems. Another thing to consider is more of a middle-ground approach. Most systems do have a python interpreter,

Heh, I guess you’re right. I’m certainly no better at naming things. My recent personal projects seem to be named of fictional characters - I’m not sure why Ollie, from The Thick of It, reminded me of Python error handling, but that is now

Cool project! Code is quite easy to follow, IMO. Somewhat off-topic, but I find the name somewhat amusing. I would never seriously hold a name against a project, but I’m always curious when one is named something a bit...edgy, without an ob

I'd be cautious of the claim that CBT is 'as effective as Prozac', or another chemical solution, in general. A cursory glance at the Wikipedia Criticisms section for CBT points out at least several concerns with the existing

Vaccines will help with that, like with the flu.

We're well past the stage where the virus may 'disappear'. Look at MERS[0] (which is still around) and SARS[1]. Compare that to COVID-19 [2]. I'd say the case for vaccination is pretty obvious, even if there is a lull in

I've been working on something like this for my own use - I'm not a fan of browser-based history. My home-rolled solution is starting to be good enough where I can use it to easily find exactly what I'm looking for, assuming

I’m really curious to read more - shame it seems that this series never got a part two? If so, not that I could find.

I’ve been working in this space for a while now, and this still blows my mind. Patient-reported data is noisy, doctor’s notes infamously confusing and inconsistent in formatting. Even fields you can pull from the health system’s EHR directl

A kind of side-note, but for similar reasons, most interventional trials in the oncology space aren’t double-blinded for that reason. If you have cancer and sign up for a trial, you’ve likely run out of standard treatment options, so being

Thanks for the link! Perhaps I should have said $50 is a sizable chunk of a monthly grocery budget. For about a year when I was 19ish I managed to get by on $50-ish/month for groceries, by mainly living off rice and beans, with some eg

I would. I also want to point out that you seem to be trivializing what most people would consider a non-trivial amount of money. That's easily a month of groceries for one person.

People are very opinionated about this topic, and I’m sure that’s because there’s not really an answer to “does homeschooling have negative impacts on social development?”, beyond “It depends.” I’m saying this as an unschooler, who was enti

But in a public forum such as this, calling a community toxic can, and will, keep people from looking in to to the associated project any further. If you have specifics, you should say them - public spaces are the right place to out toxic c

Depends on what you mean as a "condition". In a medical record, smoking status is often stored as a top-level value tied directly to the patient, and also often coded into their condition list[0]. In the FHIR standard, a physician

I use Docker on macOS daily for work. I love it, and am grateful for it, but the experience is NOTHING like using Docker on Linux. Docker for macOS runs in a virtual machine, and requires dedicating RAM to the daemon. You aren’t directly us
