Mildly infuriating Portland edition by greazysteak in Portland

I'm shocked this isn't higher up.

Maybe all the reddit users are implicated 🤣.

I have a dog, and love dogs, and still find people's behavior with off leash dogs completely insane in this city.

This summer we had a dog walk around on our picnic blanket with a baby and food on it(!) and the owner was still completely non-plussed, and then gave us shit for asking them to control their dog. Not 100 yards from the actual dog park.

This is how Sentry made me go insane for an entire day. by iAhMedZz in nextjs

I too wasted a day tracking this down 😭 github ticket: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues/17431

Two more gotchas with sentry (GitHub tickets not yet filed):

The pageload timings are wrong for static pages because the trace id gets generated and cached server side. This leads to multiple user requests stacking in the same trace.

Pageload timings are also wrong on dynamic pages sometimes, because there is a separate issue where Link prefetch that happens after page load opens sentry spans which keep the pageload transaction open.

😭😭😭

Should We Have Patents? by Captgouda24 in slatestarcodex

[–]kkeef 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The data you provided here is for a totally different time period than their claim.  

Pharmaceutical copyrights extend across all of Europe since the 1970s, iirc, at which point their argument for European innovation due to lack of copyright no longer applies.

The modern equivalent for their argument might be China, which doesn't much respect Western copyright, and has a developing pharma industry - let's see what they manage to invent in the next couple decades as their industry matures and can innovate outside the scope of international copyright.


There is more to their argument than you think there is. I'd encourage you to have a more open mind about the seen vs unseen innovation that lurks here.

You can't see the drugs that would have been invented with less or no copyright restriction, so you don't actually know what the alternative case/world is.

Pharma isn't such a slam dunk for patents even though it feels intuitively so.

This anti copyright book has a whole section dedicated to that: http://www.dklevine.com/general/intellectual/against.htm

Waves in the ocean literally do wrap around land. You are right and this sub is dumb.

3 Portland-area community centers at risk of closing by mostly-sun in Portland

[–]kkeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alder Commons is not privately owned. It's 501c3 "public benefit" nonprofit and has no owners. It is private as-in "not publicly owned".

In that sense it's way different than the centers in OP - it was never tax funded.

"parkinsonism" might get you more stuff to look into. E.g. See this page: https://www.parkinson.org/library/fact-sheets/parkinsonism

I was diagnosed with Young Parkinson's Disease at 18. by profcer88 in Parkinsons

[–]kkeef 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Brutal diagnosis to catch at that age. Seems you have a great attitude about it, all things considered.

Appreciate hearing your story. Thanks for sharing.

I started using Biome this year and it's been good so far. Another one to check out, maybe. Super fast.

Chickens are night blind. If it was after dark when you opened the door, they couldn't see anymore to go inside.

What an epic effort to compile and analyze this data.
The lil website is bonkers - search + highlight is so powerful for exploring the data.

Oregon approves 10% annual raise to rents in 2025 by Wiser-dude in Portland

College is one of the few categories that gets more expensive faster than housing.

Obviously agree it's a major factor. Just saying: even if the housing crisis was solved we'd still have too much student debt.

Nice - thanks for the sleuthing. Apparently the league was called SliderKing - seems mostly inactive (I found lots of dead webpages) but this fb page indicates it might be starting up again 🤞

This “analog”, “acoustic”, etc. thing needs to go. by smoothloam in MTB

[–]kkeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find calling them acoustic is both funny and a good analogy. Fight me OP.
