It's very much easier to ignore ads in a newspaper. It's not so easy when you are forced to listen to them before the thing you paid for. It's not the same.
I wanted to create something for my daughter that could just play a particular one of a curated set of programs on demand, but there are so many apps for different services, it;s so hard to know how to begin to control them all.
Vulkan is definitely a major pain and very difficult to learn... But once you've created an init function, a create buffer function, a create material function etc which you do once you can largely then just ignore it and write at a higher level.
I don't like Vulkan. I keep thinking did nobody look at this and think 'there must be a better way' but it's what we've got and mostly it's just learn it and write the code once

Sorry, *allow*? ALLOW?
I'm sorry. My device. My software. My customer or friend.
You don't have the right to insert yourself into the process. Very kind of you to ALLOW me to do something you have no involvement in whatsoever.
Like everything google do the real reason for the plan is to let google insert themselves unwanted into someone elses business so they can extract money from other people's work.
I would bin my android phone now if the alternatives weren't even worse,
But it's not usual to have an anesthetic for a colonoscopy is it? I've had two without. I was offered a light sedation but then I couldn't have driven home afterwards. It wasn't particularly awful without.
It's it usual to be asleep? I've not really heard of that. Is it a US thing?
I'm not a medical doctor, nor a clinician that does colonoscopies, so I have no idea. All I know is that the clinic suggested by my primary care physician set everything up and UHC denied it 10 days prior to the procedure, leaving me almost no time to work through any sort of processes to effectively change their decision--if it's even possible.
Without any real evidence except a hunch, I think it's because I've already met my deductible for the year and they don't want to pay for the entire thing and they'll do anything they can to avoid having it happen this year and hope I just go away or do it in another year when I haven't hit my deductible.
Same here, just had one in the US and I refused to be sedated as I knew from previous one in EU that it is tolerable. You should have seen the song and dance of the provider trying to convince me to get sedated. In the end they accepted my decision. Afterwards about everybody in the clinic came to see me as if I was a hero of sorts. However,the whole episode gave me a good insight as to why US healthcare is so expensive.
> Anesthesia or anaesthesia is a state of controlled, temporary loss of sensation or awareness that is induced for medical or veterinary purposes. It may include some or all of analgesia, paralysis, amnesia, and unconsciousness.
"General anesthesia" is probably what you're thinking, which is a specific form of anesthesia where someone is put to sleep.
i was actually confused about this for a long time - i always thought my colonoscopies were "general" because i... couldn't remember anything, but all of them were really just propofol "twilight," which is just a deep sleep, i guess? i only learned this when i got a real surgery and had to actually go under general, it's a much more involved thing where you're essentially put in a coma
i'm not sure if it's a US thing but i think especially if they're going to take biopsies you're put under twilight, which is one step below general - i don't remember anything about any of the ones i've had, and wake up later in a recovery room
I'm in US and I've had a single one. It was sedation which induces twilight sleep but I was definitely conscious. I've known many that have had them (ex-partner had stage 3 colon cancer and had/has them on the regular) and it was always sedation.
I dunno if it's unusual? I had mine done recently, 49 years old... seemed like a given that I was going to go under? (I'm pretty sure I prefer it that way?)
Also UHC fwiw, but went through my local provider group, etc...
It is extremely common in the US. The only people who get colonoscopies without any sedation are those who want to be able to drive themselves home afterward.
We have people - covered in tattoos - who insist that they are terrified of needles. And that they want drugs before any even mildly painful procedure, like placing an IV.
If it's not then every single case of tax evasion people would claim that they had paid and the computer must have lost the payment. Every single traffic camera offense would be contested. Every time you didn't have a train ticket people would claim the computer lost it. And so on.
And there would be months and months of delays if every time it had to be proved beyond a doubt that the equipment was working fully in that case out of all proportion to the risk of there actually being a problem.
However clearly there does need to be a way to challenge the presumption too. Of course just assuming equipment is working is entirely unfair.
After a brief look at the article it looks a reasonable weakening of the presumption which allows the court to consider and reject a challenge when they think fit according to the court rules (to be established) Pretty much like any other form of evidence.
I may not have read the release notes etc properly but I'd been using this with the most recent updates of clion and assumed it was just a new feature being added.
I recently renewed my subscription in part because this looked interesting. I kind of regret that now.
I had assumed that the subscription entitled you to all of clion and other ides, not just part of them and other features would be an addition charge.
