WhatsApp is awful with permissions. I couldn't find a way to use it without giving it access to all my contacts. I installed it on the work profile and uninstalled it as soon as I didn't need it anymore.

You could try disabling some extensions to see if there's a troublemaker. Alternatively, run Firefox in safe mode to see if it's your settings/extensions or the site itself

I was more familiar with the UK one and thought I came across a fake account when I first saw the Australian one. It felt like an over exaggerated caricature of far-right rage bait

Why is the first part of October in the second box?

Now I want to see an infographic about the common parts of each of the months

You could look into tools that use Whisper, that seems to be the popular choice for text/speech tools right now

 

Injectable prescription drugs, sold as Ozempic and Wegovy, and the pill Rybelsus all contain the ingredient semaglutide. This class of medication, known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1s), regulate blood sugar levels and appetite.

Health Canada previously approved Ozempic to treat diabetes and Wegovy for weight loss. Nearly 33 per cent of Canadians (10.6 million people) were obese in 2023, according to a recent study.

Novo Nordisk, maker of Ozempic and Wegovy, will effectively lose its price protection on those drugs in Canada in January, opening the door to generic versions.

Mina Tadrous, an associate professor who evaluates pharmaceutical prices at the University of Toronto, says three or four companies have them in development or are starting the paperwork.

Tadrous says the number of companies affects pricing.

"The classic framework is that if you only have one, it comes down from the list price to 75 per cent," Tadrous said. "If we have two, it goes down to 50 per cent and if we have three it hits 25 per cent."

Three manufacturers could bring the price down to $100 from $400 for the same strength of semaglutide product, Tadrous estimates.

This post is being reported, would you consider updating the title to reflect these details? Maybe:

If the company is gone now then, I guess it would harm whoever bought the rights to the apps or the name? In which case they can contact that entity to sort it out

I asked about launchers on here 2 weeks ago, so this is great timing:

That all looks amazing, I'm excited to try it out!

Should it happen at a random time, or a predetermined time everyone knows about?

@[email protected] has been running the show so I'll loop them in :)

 

The modmail has been copied below. The announcement is linked in the first comment, and people are justifiably annoyed.

Hi Mods,

We are in the process of rolling out a big overhaul to Subreddit Wikis, including a new layout, tools, discoverability, and more.

TL;DR - We’ve given wikis a makeover. The improved wiki (launching next week) includes: new tools and layout, additional safety features, more edit access options, and improved discoverability. For those with wikis built on old.reddit, we’ll move your existing content over, so that everything is preserved. Edits made via old.reddit after the migration won’t sync to the new system and vice versa.

Keeping a wiki fresh and up to date can be time-consuming, and mods shouldn’t have to do it all alone. As part of this update, “successful contributor access” will be enabled by default for your community wiki the week of July 14.

The entire wiki or individual pages can be restricted to “mod-only” editing at any time (after the above changes are made) within “Wiki settings” found in Mod Tools on desktop.

This setting manages for quality and safety while enabling more Wiki maintenance support and relevant content creation. In early testing, subreddits with this setting enabled did not require mod revisions.

To opt out of this setting being turned on in your community before July 14, please let us know via this form.

This article is divided into two chapters.

  • The first one, starting with section “Introduction to naming in programming” presents a review of scientific literature present on the topic. That section will deepen your understanding of the current body of knowledge on naming things.
  • The second chapter, starting with section “Guidelines for naming conventions in programming” presents actionable recommendations to improve your skills in choosing thoughtful class, function or variable names. If you’re looking for tips, go there.

There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.
