I just tested this on OS X, which doesn't expose printers through /dev/ in the way you're describing as far as I can tell. But apparently lp exists on OS X, so you can do echo "Hello printer" | lp -d <printer_name>, and find the name through lpstat -p.

And sure enough, this works! Just tested on my new printer.

What does it mean to “relax” weights and how does that speed up output?

I doubt Apple will get on board, but this seems like the correct answer to me.

I just set up something similar myself. Render.com was incredibly easy and intuitive. I think it costs me $1/mo.

I think two things need to be true for a “feature” to be able to mature into a full fledged company/startup: 1. People need to be willing to pay for it. 2. Other companies shouldn’t be able to replicate it easily and put you out of business overnight within a single release.

Part 2 is especially important if you’re building or extending functionality on top of a platform. An example might be the old swipe-to-touch keyboards on iOS. Once Apple built them natively, game over.

That’s a great suggestion. Thanks for sharing.

Did you encounter problems with removing M for Measurable in that case?

I'm not so sure either, but the Atlantic article referred to in the post is much better in my opinion, while covering the same topic. It includes more surveyed statistics about how public sentiment and wellbeing have changed over the decades. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/10/collapsing...

I’m fairly sure there is more to it from a technique perspective. Works like the Visuddhimagga and the Vimuttimagga explain the whole “focus on one thing / focus on breath” thing in extraordinary detail, and I consider these basically a forgotten technology. I have found these micro-steps to be really helpful in learning to meditate more deeply but are almost entirely ignored in the Western explanations and meditation apps.

That said, the traditional texts are still hard to parse. I’ve considered writing a manual-to-the-manual of sorts that explains the same concepts but in a modern way. I should mention that Leigh Brasington has some really awesome content out there (videos, books, and articles). I am not a master meditator, but if that sort of a thing exists, Leigh is.

Learning about stone "industries" is probably one of my favorite wikipedia dives I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.

Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldowan

You can see in the sidebar that you can traverse the industries in time (Preceded by and Followed by links). Amazingly, these span _species_, since stone tools were in use before Homo sapiens were on the scene.

I second this recommendation with a suggestion that has hugely helped me. I have more or less copied the approach to to-do lists described in that book into a Trello board and then – importantly – made it my home page on Chrome.

This accomplishes two things for me: 1) any time I open a new tab, I get a reminder of what needs to be done 2) adding an item or recording an idea to be processed later is just a cmd-t away.

This approach (combined with the Trello mobile app) has made the list so easy to maintain it's almost hard not to use it. YMMV, of course.

There's a ~long history of people attempting to answer that question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_the_firm

From the article, "Firms exist as an alternative system to the market-price mechanism when it is more efficient to produce in a non-market environment."

It's not entirely true that extra tests are only an issue because they reveal untreated disease that insurers would rather not pay for.

There are non-trivial false positive rates for many diagnostics that can and do lead to unnecessary follow-up tests, procedures, and emotional distress.

For example, "About half of the women getting annual mammograms over a 10-year period will have a false-positive finding." [0]

The US Task Force for Preventative Services works to clarify when diagnostics are appropriate given rates of false positives and false negatives for many different preventative services. And there are many groups that work to establish and record evidence-based guidelines for escalations of care outside of preventative care as well. Intermountain is one example.

Do you have recommendations for any books or other resources that cover topics on healthcare quality measures? This is the first time I’ve heard of surrogate markers. I’ve been searching around for more info on the concept you’ve described but didn’t have a term for it.

Curious - why did you move from Clojure/Datomic to Node/Postgres?

We're building a chat app in RN. Last I checked, the RN components do not support the functionality that you mention out of the box.

We are using a fork of GiftedChat which has generally been a positive but not stellar experience (https://github.com/FaridSafi/react-native-gifted-chat). I understand includes some fairly clever (perhaps hacky?) and extensive changes on top of RN's components to mimic the interactions we generally expect in a chat UI. It's been performant for the most part but is quite opinionated.

I would love to know if there's a better, more modular solution out there.

Employer-based plans typically have lower premiums because they are, by definition, groups of working-age and (in most cases) working people. They are younger and less sick, so insurance costs are lower. (Dependents are typically more expensive.) This is the reason that companies, once they reach a sufficient size, self-insure, because they are carving out their younger and healthier population from the broader population. Plus, there are savings gained from administrative costs as well.

Selection of plans or providers is not the problem, especially with the current popularity of PPO plans.

I highly recommend Zeke Emanuel's "Reinventing American Healthcare" which covers the current status of the US healthcare system and the many reasons about why it turned out the way that it did. It's fairly comprehensive for a primer but is very accessible.

If I remember correctly, the book covers the question you're asking directly. I don't have the book handy otherwise I would summarize it for you.

Just came across Mailchimp's: http://ux.mailchimp.com/patterns

There's a very significant and logical reason why American corporations - particularly tech companies - are accumulating so much cash: repatriation taxes.

The cash is collecting dust abroad, and large tech companies are waiting for a tax holiday, for which there is precedent [0].

There are a number of fascinating reasons why companies may hold cash (e.g., it's been suggested that companies with CEOs that grew up during the Great Depression hold (held) more cash than those that didn't). [1]

That said, it does appear that taxes seem to be one of the more significant (if not the most significant) reason in our current economic climate.
