Accuweather’s entire plan is to destroy free access to NWS data and charge people for access that they have. Trump’s just making it a reality and Accuweather’s laying their groundwork right now.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I just spent four months in hospital in the UK. How screwed (financially) would I be in the US?English
4·6 months agoTo the best of my knowledge, that’s all covered by the “No Surprises Act” that was part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 passed during Trump’s first lame duck period to give more COVID stimulus.

13·6 months agoIf you’re on a plan that qualifies for the ACA (basically any real health insurance plan), your out of pocket max per year is capped at $9,200 this year.

Games@lemmy.world•"You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books"English
42·8 months agoCiri has a relationship with a woman in the books, so I’m not sure you will miss what I assume you’re referring to as “the masculine indulgences” as much as you think you will.
On the other hand, CDPR retconned a shedload of that book so we shall see.

1·8 months ago… Is this a trick question? The object, provided by the library (net/http which is about as default as they come) sets “DefaultMaxIdleConnsPerHost” to 2. This is significant because if you finish a connection and you’ve got more than 2 idles, it slams that connection close. If you have a lot of simultaneous fast lived requests to the same IP (say a load balanced IP), your go programs will exhaust the ephemeral port list quickly. It’s one of the most common “gotchas” I see where Go programs work great in dev and blow themselves apart in prod.
https://dev.to/gkampitakis/http-connection-churn-in-go-34pl is a fairly decent write up.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Pros/cons to legalize marijuana in a countryEnglish
31·8 months agoEh, I don’t know anyone who managed to get themselves to Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome without legalization. Easier access to high quality highly concentrated doses has been increasing prevalence.
Any of the video game console companies.

World News@lemmy.world•Mexico confirms country's first human case of bird flu in a 3-year-old girlEnglish
11·9 months ago“Young child in Mexico has novel influenza” was Swine Flu’s start. So I always get a little nervous reading about it.
The slightly better news is that compared to COVID, influenza sucks at spreading, so our non-pharmaceutical interventions are liable to stall it out pretty well.

34·9 months agoThe Canadian teen mutated to a human to human form, but she did not spread it forward.
It’s coming. We just keep rolling the dice.
Between the capacitor plague and the tin whiskers from the phaseout of lead, hardware from that era failed constantly.
You’re real close to the “capacitor of death” models there. GX270s failed like a motherfucker.

161·9 months agoAnd yet: You’ll still be limited to two simultaneous calls to your REST API because the default HTTP client was built in the dumbest way possible.
I saw an ad request with an inline 1.4 MB game. Like, you could fit Mario in there.
Which makes it all the more Pooh-esque.
Throw in some misspellings and I would have sworn it was Winnie the Pooh.
From what we saw in the Canadian teen: It’s only a mutation away from ripping through humans in a real bad way. It picked up the mutation it needed to switch from preferring the alpha 2,3 receptor plentiful in birds to the alpha 2,6 sialic acids that are plentiful in the human nose, throat and lungs when the teen was infected. That teen then developed ARDS and she needed to be intubated.
Salted roads during the winter, dusty conditions in the summer. The salted roads when it’s too cold to rinse the bike would usually work its way in and the bearings would be creaking before spring.




It’s still just an OS. The ol’ dentries/pagecache/inodes caching can bloat your RAM usage out, especially in combination with the default for swappiness and vfs_pressure, not to mention the kernel slab. sk_buff is quite untunable depending on the particular kernel. That on top of any badly behaved applications that request transparent huge pages but don’t properly defragment their space you can end up with fairly huge bloat, especially if the app you are using forks and changes memory often. It’s hard to just “Linux uses no memory and that’s that!” When it gives you a mile of rope to hang yourself with.
