Sounds like you might be talking about Jake Seliger, and indeed, his and Bess' fight to get treatments was rather eye-opening for me too.

Jake's blog where he posted throughout his entire illness: https://jakeseliger.com/

Bess' blog: https://bessstillman.substack.com/

It was a heartbreaking story to follow, and one that hit me a lot harder than I thought it would when Jake died.


No, "half" of America does not think that.

Also, is Harvard part of the "public school system" now?


> Also, is Harvard part of the "public school system" now?

Pancake... waffle... Where in the statement do you see them saying that?

They were implying that the same people that think "public school system is there to turn kids gay and trans" are the same people that think that Harvard is "woke".


> I'm fairly sure even mentioning the name of the forum isn't allowed on HN.

I'm not sure this would be the case? I've seen plenty of links to content of questionable legality shared on HN.


> It’s cheap for ocassional use

This can be said about any drug, but even then, heavy use of weed vs other drugs is absolutely cheaper, especially these days if you live in an area where it's legal and/or are willing to grow it.


This is why I feel like a missing piece of Patreon/Kofi/whatever is the ability to say "Here's $x; divide it automagically amongst the creators I'm currently following"

Sure, I think a lot of those donations would amount to a few pennies or so at once, but I feel like a lot more people would be willing to support creators if they didn't have to constantly choose which to support.


I would love it if something like Github would accept donations from a repo and parcel it out to the repo's dependencies somehow. It would sadly make Github even stickier, but it would be a great feature.

Created 3 weeks ago. 27 commits, half of which seem to be version bumps.

Why should anyone want to use this, OP?


Writing off Practical Engineering's videos as "stock footage" is utterly hilarious to me.

C'mon. I know everyone on HN just can't help but glaze anyone who deals with "real world things" rather than 1s and 0s but this is absolutely not one of his more original content videos. You can't simulate landing aircraft using a clear plastic box (one of his better props) like you can soil conditions so you get what you get.

If you watched the video you would know he didn’t. Animations only in this one.

I think ncmpcpp might check all those boxes, with the caveat that it's a TUI player. Have you tried it?

Which players on Windows are you talking about?

MusicBee and foobar2000 with the old SimPlaylist plugin.

> We live in times where parents and schools no longer have the authority to enforce behaviour

...What? They certainly can, if they're banning certain behavior?


It is one thing to ban something on paper, another to actually ban it in practice. In France, mobile phones for students in college (junior high school) have been banned but surveys of schools suggested only 9% of the schools actually banned the phones, citing practical and financial constraints.
