  > why the US accepts

  Because we don't have another option. Your job dictates your insurance, not you, and most jobs explicitly search for insurance companies that don't end up costing them much (but cover enough that people still think they have coverage, maybe).

  There's stories going around right now about how BlueCrossBlueShield is going to be dictating the amount of time during a surgery that anesthesia will be covered. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=blue+cross+blue+shield+anes...

  Of course, these stories are happening after individuals have made their elections for insurance AND after the companies that would be choosing the various insurance companies to pick from would have already selected their projected insurance provider.

• Geometric line-art of Wacław Szpakowski

  I enjoyed those, thanks! I like the circular grid eddy type ones the most. I wanted to highlight some favourites but they have a curious phenomenon where, after studying one for a while, looking at a new one is so refreshing that it always ranks higher so I just get stuck in a circle myself!

  Reminds me of the graphic design at "May Contain Hackers 2022" that I really liked: https://mch2022.org/#/ which included a tool to generate similar designs https://mch2022.org/design/

  Also reminds me of Bernard Cohen works that I loved in Tate Modern. For me, he achieves something next level which is to go beyond just pressing my "pleasing geometric pattern" buttons but also the type of order/disorder that feels like a human intelligence at work too.

  I can't find a page including the ones I have in mind but:

• The capacitor that Apple soldered incorrectly at the factory

  Recently read that if you are going to be using an LED bulb in an enclosed space, buy bulbs designed for the high temperature, otherwise you WILL get premature failures in bulbs that will last for years in ordinary lamps.

• Bottles of OOP now available in Python

  That is easy to say in hindsight when given the example. It is not so easy to see in advance. After all, OOP’s proponents say that OOP makes everything better. You never hear them saying “don’t use OOP here”.

  I doubt you would find a single result in the top 10 saying not to do this and many will seem to encourage it. One of the results says:

  > Inheritance is frequently used to integrate your code with library code

  A much younger version of myself said: Daemonizing should be a library function. Let’s use inheritance to do that.

  Saying it is not really taught properly is avoiding the reality that you just can’t teach it properly. Knowing for certain when it will not cause problems requires knowing the future.

• Is the 80 character line limit still relevant? (2008)
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Nov 2024

  Someone else is going to be weird and want to look this up so I'll save you the trouble.

  Yes, this commenter's claim about line lengths are supported by many, many different sources who recommend a 50 to 80 character line length.
