taiyang , to showerthoughts in If seeing someone 4 days consecutively is seeing them 4 days in a row, does that mean seeing someone every Monday of a month is seeing them 4 days in a column?

Yes, and if we’re playing my connect 4 rules, you can also aim for a Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday - Thursday diagonal.

TranquilTurbulence ,

You can also go 3D. January 8, February 5, March 4, April 8 would be 4 in a stack.

That’s the third dimension of time. You playing 6D chess over here

TranquilTurbulence ,

If you include multiple years, you can add one more dimension.

What if we add a 4th dimension with years?

TranquilTurbulence ,

Sure. That would be 4 days in a… well stack is already taken, so what do we call that?

@Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Maybe a box, or a jumbo stack

TranquilTurbulence ,

Four days in a box. It’s settled then.

Seeing time in 3D, mayhaps like a Time Cube?

Holy shit, what an opener, and then the second paragraph is the perfect punchline. I think the wiki editors knew exactly what they were doing.

Davel23 , to mildlyinfuriating in We went to see Squeeze and the guy in front of me was playing games on his phone the whole time. He came alone and barely paid attention. Why did he buy a ticket?

You know what you need to do with that guy's phone.

Well you’re not seeing them periodically. That would require them being on the same row.

Rentlar , to fediverse in If you use Mbin, what's the difference between a thread and a post?

I guess part of it is that each platform wants to be specific to the purpose of its own network/platform. Mastodon as a Twitter/Tumblr like microblog site, PixelFed like Instagram, Friendica like Facebook, so on and so forth. Align all terminology to one set of terms I think takes away from the uniqueness of each platform. If you want the truly neutral default cross-Fediverse term, then just use the one from the ActivityPub spec. That pleases every Fediverse platform equally, i.e. not at all.

Users = Actors. Upvote/Favourite/React = Like. Post/Note/Toot/Thread = Object. Happy? Didn’t think so.

When one network interacts on another, the target will do its best to translate your actions into the way it does things. That’s why Link posts from Mastodon appear so wonky in Lemmy, and you can only reply to Mastodon users who posted in a Lemmy community.

I agree. Except boosts. That should die and up/downvotes should just be the thing driving aggregation. Nobody boosts enough to make a difference anyways and some apps just tie the boost button to the upvote button so the feature actually gets used as expected (if enabled). It’s already hard enough to get regular people onboard here, with all the instance and account confusion with hit or miss syncing options and instances disappearing sometimes.

fubarx , to programmerhumor in Dealing with tech debt

A few jobs ago, everyone hated the tech stack. The people who had come up with it had long left. I talked to everyone, then came up with a plan to transition to a modern stack. Got buy-in from management.

Half the people (and all who had said they hated the status quo) threatened to quit if we made the change.

Fortunately, it was just in time to collect the 1-year retention bonus. Life’s too short. Walked away.

People are very resistant to change that reduces their expertise so that doesn’t really surprise me.

Transitioning a tech stack will lead to tons of unforeseen problems and also add zero new features. It’s only very rarely useful.

This game was so confusing.

mkwt , to nostupidquestions in How exactly do insurance deductibles work?

If you’ve met the deductible for the plan year, the deductible is now off the table. And presumably you need to look at your policy to see what it covers after the deductible is met.

“50% before deductible” is an odd term that I haven’t seen in an health insurance policy. Usually, coinsurance doesn’t kick in until after the deductible is met.

this isn’t a til “today I learned”

Man it seriously sounds like you’re having some kind of schizophrenic breakdown.

Brkdncr , to nostupidquestions in How exactly do insurance deductibles work?

Wouldn’t coverage apply once the bill is submitted?

I think they aren’t “covering” 50% before deductible, but negotiating a 50% lower cost.

GlendatheGayWitch , to nostupidquestions in How exactly do insurance deductibles work?

If you’ve met your deductible, you may not owe for the upcoming procedure.

However, you’d need to look at your policy or call the insurance company to see if the procedure counts towards your deductible. Normally the plan specifies that its 50% before the deductible and by an asterisk or buried somewhere in your plan’s terms, it may say that it’ll be 100% covered after tour deductible is met.

Is your deductible and out-of-pocket max the same? If you’ve met both, you may not even owe a copay. If you still haven’t met the out-of-pocket max, you will still owe co-pays.

Your plan documents or the company will be able to give better answers, as companies and plans can be very different in how they cover things.
