That presupposes you'd have the money for them. I'm fortunate to be able to either have had insurance coverage or pay $5-6000 out of pocket every 3-5 years for new hearing aids, but there are many many people who can't afford that.

I'm a hearing aid user in Canada and your numbers seem off. Canadian government will pay $500 / ear. I have near top of the line Widex hearing aids and they were more like $2750 / ear including a 3 year service contract which included batteries for the full term.

If your relatives got "free" hearing aids, it's likely they were low end (i.e. less than $500 so totally covered by the government grant). My father had a similar experience with low end devices and thankfully recently bought a much better pair and has finally successfully adapted to wearing them.

Nice to see a "Dear <open source project>" that was a full blown love letter instead of a critique!

Adding #wrapper {margin: auto} centres it and makes it look better IMO. Great article!

I personally only really use it to tile, and navigate between, 3 or 4 shells when developing, but it's delightful for that (much better than using e.g. Ctrl-Tab to flip between terminals for me). I also second the recommendation of switching to use Ctrl-A.

Breast feeding is preferred but not always possible for a variety of reasons. Having to fall back on fucking Coke is a pretty grim reality to contemplate.

Fucking hell that's awful.

"Vagrant 1.0 was released in 2013 as a stable release. Vagrant 1.0 only supported VirtualBox as a provider, only supported a handful of Linux operating systems as guests, and supported a simple up/destroy workflow. Since Vagrant 1.0, we've added support for multi-providers such as VMware and Docker, guests such as Windows, macOS, and complex workflows including snapshots. These major changes are followed by hundreds of improvements and bug fixes."

Doesn't matter much if they have the right or not; they probably want to go home to their kids later that night so they'll stay out of it if they value their safety.

"Salt Lake police spokesman Sgt. Brandon Shearer told local media that Payne had been suspended from the department’s blood draw unit but remained on active duty."

Constantly reading things like this makes it extremely difficult to believe the "it's just few a bad apples" comments we always hear.

That's a good question but I don't know the answer. The reports we generate don't use js so I've never needed to investigate.

You can generate pdfs with headless Chromium/Chrome pretty easily[1].

Why bother having a rule if you're not going to enforce it? I agree that questioning authority is healthy, but people also are required to follow rules on occasion and it's your job to teach them how to do that. Using a technological solution to a discipline issue is a short term bandaid for a long time problem.

You make a rule. This isn't a technology problem.

Too late to edit but I realize now points 2 & 3 are from a non Articulate job posting posted on the Articulate site. My apologies!

> They're just pushing off the capital cost of having an office to the employee themselves.

I made the same comment elsewhere. Completely agree with your post here.

    - If they talk about how great it was to do their laundry during work hours, thumbs down

    - we don't care if you work at night, on weekends, in your 
    pajamas, after class, in another timezone, etc. We do     
    ask that you are available by Skype during regular 9-5 CST

    - Cool things about working for us:
        Potential to earn bonuses for projects. Very *LOW* 
        salary but since we are ROWE (Results Only Work 
        Environment), bonuses are part of the deal!

As someone who successfully works remotely full time: nope, nope, nope. These guys have offloaded their office space costs to their employees homes under the guise of a flexible work schedule.

Also don't forget the:

I'm pretty convinced it's a firefly after watching the video frame by frame. Go to the YT video, set it 1080p and pause at 36s. Then go frame by frame (use ',' and '.' to go back/forth by a single frame) and you can see it appear as a dark blob, that comes down, eventually lighting up, then contrary to your point 3 it actually goes in front of the trees.

I would also recommend Julia's blog as a good example of the "learn this thing along with me" style.

I use a Kinesis Freestyle, but yeah I agree. It's hard to overstate how much better my wrists, elbows and shoulders feel after switching to a split keyboard years ago.

You'd probably see nice returns in your cycling if you started doing heavy barbell squats too.

The company I work for does this :) We use cellular & network connections to do remote monitoring of tanks. It can be very valuable service for fuel delivery companies, since they can fill up on an as needed basis rather than driving out to a location only to find they only need to top up 5% of the tank.

I stand corrected! Thanks.

Even if they did use the imperial system, no drug dealer is going to care about a change in the 8th decimal place of the definition of the pound.

Got it, that makes sense. I tend to the filling but low calorie approach (vegetables!) myself with around a 750kCal deficit.

"Very few people require 2500 calories a day, particularly with modern sedentary lifestyles"

That doesn't have anything to do with my point. (Although mercifully my TDEE is closer to 3kCal)

"Plus, aside from the thermodynamics component, from a nutrition standpoint not all calories are the same."

Again, we're talking about weight loss which pretty much is thermodynamics.

Same for me (I'm late 30's). Heavy dead lifts, squats and a standing desk. Starting strength training/powerlifting a few years ago was the best thing I ever did for my mental health :)

"I should point out that for myself the most effective way to lose weight is basically just starvation. I exercise a lot and track calories and only consume between 1500 and 2000 a day (I probably need at least 2500 a day and maybe closer to 3000)"

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point but this is the only effective way to lose weight. If your body needs 2500 calories a day and you eat 2000 you'll lose ~1lb a week.

You may already be aware of it but dicompyler is a nice dicom viewer built in python and it's quite easy to build plugins for it.
