Monthly credit card payments. So money flows from my employer to my checking account to my credit cards. Also of course to my 401K, IRA, Mortgage account, Saving account etc. Which means I don't encounter money much and I like it this way (I generally make sure I live within my means and my money does flow into my investments).

Downsides:

-I'm not actively thinking about money and hence improved investments

-I'm not monitoring credit card errors

-Comcast gradually increased increased my bill from $44/mo to $103/mo without any resistance from my side

"Excellent Sheep"[1] by William Deresiewicz is a great read on this topic.

Also, his "Solitude and Leadership"[2] talk at West Point in 2009, which probably inspired to write the book.

Why couldn't he just keep his mouth shut? Just wire the money to your account.
I agree with you but evolution predicts globalization. Instead of moving backward, we have to figure out how to move forward.

The world will be a place where money is what guarantees safety. State welfare will be no more. No place is safe if it is free. Access to infrastructure will be open but cost money regardless of your citizenship.

If you think the future will be like that, you should stop paying taxes (as in contributing to the old model), move to a tax free jurisdiction and start saving funds (as in make sure you can live in a gated society).

The old model is collapsing (governments, countries, borders, citizenship) albeit slowly. Governments are getting more indebted and less efficient. Corps are making record gains. International trade is still thriving despite all. And the Internet is still here.

Move to the new model my friend :)
This is deeply true.

I reflect on the times in my life in which I’ve tried to tell people things, I wish I hadn’t. It would have been better for the relationships.
Evidence? Sure, I know many couples. The bit about differences between couples who have only slept with each other is my own theory based on my observations. But it seems this has been studied more rigorously, for example: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1741-3737... But this talks about marital dissolution, not simply affairs. Affairs are happening way more than you think.
Yeah I think this is a feature of Jetpack. Jetpack has the resources to check all the analytics on a URL in the background and then just the necessary data is brought over to the page.
I made a sensor board that has light, motion, temperature and humidity sensors and IR LEDs and put one in every room. I put Sonoffs on the lights and various other devices and wrote a small managing program to coordinate the lot, so lights turn on when you walk into a dark room and turn off if there's no motion or if you turn on another light. The IR LEDs also control the TV/AC/etc.

I've also added various other things to it like Wifi presence notification, so it sends me a notification if a guest arrives, and hooked it up to Kodi and an Amazon Echo so I can say things like "play Iron Man" and it will turn on the TV, put on the movie and turn off the lights.

Not super useful stuff, but it was fun.

Also, double standards, since plenty of people post only about Linux, Android, ChromeOS, OSX or iOS and they never get flagged. And yes, genuine non-paid Windows enthusiasts like me do exist, and I shouldn't feel ashamed of it.

I have several scripts that make my keyboard behave better, which is "automating" in a sense. I basically have vim-style keys anywhere on the computer, as long as I'm holding caps lock. (So e.g. caps+j is the same as down arrow). This includes some more complex motions like "select current word", and even things like "open two quotes and but the cursor between them."

I also have a script which scrapes my podcast player's website, to give me a list of podcast episodes that I already played. I save this list every day in an excel file, but the script makes this much easier - I run the script, then paste the results into the excel.
Kindness appears to me as the decisive element for a successful relationship.
It’s not the only one of course since there are many other factors that must be handled successfully (managing sexual satisfaction, financial stability, common life goals, ability to raise kids, etc) but kindness to each other is a determinant; it’s the ‘sauce’ that binds everything together and make it hold.

And it must be reciprocated.

If you are in a relationship where there is no way to get that, and counselling isn’t helping enough, the future will most likely be bleak: full of accrued resentment, feelings of being trapped that get worse as time goes by, bitterness and pettiness will rule your life.

People always hope that things will get better and if the relationship is worth it, it’s essential to fight to overcome the struggles, but if there is no foundation of kindness, I’m convinced the only outcome is misery.

We shouldn’t stay with someone out of fear of being alone.

You absolutely hit the nail on the head. It's the wolves in sheep's clothing pretending to be righteous that can ultimately cause the most harm. They prey on good willing empathetic people to get them emotionally distracted by the slight of hand that takes place when Billions are on the line.

John Locke might have said babies are born with a tabula rasa. But I suspect genetics play a deep roll in our brain chemistry dictating, for example, why we might take offense to something others find funny. But we can't forget that natural selection applies to Humans too and therefore most humans will save themselves first. The genetic instincts we possess align us to a more Hobbsian tone, that we are Nasty, brutish and short.

Funny thing about how I became a math major: I skipped precalculus in HS. All my peers that were as bright (or more) in my school were turned off by the year-long deathmarch of pointless bullshit[0] while I was taking more intuitive classes like Calculus and Linear Algebra. We both challenged ourselves, I just took the more fun challenges.

If we imagine that each of the bottles was 1 liter, his experiment grossed him $2.2k at a minimum in a day. Minus the cost of the hot dogs and water bottles, not a bad profit!

In all seriousness, it's amusing to see the correlation people put on monetary cost and the supposed effects of a product. Time and time again we've all seen studies of higher priced items performing better than the exact same product at a lower price point. If a bottle of hot dog water costs $38, it must work!

While this was intended as a jab at "holistic" products that get sold with dubious health claims, it turned into a case study on marketing and positioning your product using pricing to convey value; even if that value is actually bogus in any measured context.

I run a Huginn server which has hundreds of recipes. Most scrape websites and send me updates either by pushover or email for things that matter

-- news sites via rss with heavy keyword filtering for news that's important to me like hometown news etc (Google alerts style)

-- firmware updates from various devices that wouldn't otherwise notify me like kindle

-- posts up voted over X times in a period on smaller, specialized subreddits of interest

- daily digests of message boards I follow

- flight price alerts from persistent searches on routes I follow

- account updates via polling over websites like my frequent flyer accounts etc

I also love keyboard macros built into ios and have dozens for commonly used things I type.
> But I honestly think I'm missing something.

Since you confirmed my presumption, I don't think you're missing anything. Put another way, I think you're mostly missing the perspective of the typical ORM proponent.

From that perspective, even if the datastore isn't necessarily dumb, as such, it's more like an afterthought, conceptually subservient/inferior to the application, perhaps even a necessary evil. The job of the ORM is to release the data from that terrible (relational) paradigm and bring it into enlightened (object) world of whatever language the application is written in. This is, of course, a bit of a caricature for effect.

There was a fairly extensive discussion of a database-first paradigm a few weeks ago here on HN:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17247088
https://blog.jooq.org/2018/06/06/truth-first-or-why-you-shou...

It's worth noting that even that author didn't suggest entirely avoiding an ORM, but, rather, using code-generation (in one that offers it).

My credit card bill is paid every month by deducting from my checking, and the bank does this by default. I don't know why everyone wouldn't want this. Unless they're spending money they don't have. Interest is a sucker's game.
This harmonises well with my career experience, and I could cite multiple examples from just the last few months without even thinking about it. (I'm not going to because the project is ongoing.)

We waste so much time explaining and justifying things to people that they're just never going to get when we'd be much better off building even a minimal experience for them so they can get it. Of course, if you try to explain this to the people concerned they still look at you like you're from Mars and complain that we "can't" work like that. It's deeply frustrating.

> What it actually is is more important than the misrepresentations presented by various misinformed parties

Fair enough. Government bonds let countries deficit spend. They are also a stable store of value. These attributes make them useful.

Bitcoin is neither of these. Like government bonds, it does not behave like money.

The most useful thing I have is a little script that logs into my bank, downloads a CSV and sends me the latest transaction via email daily. Saves me time to login to online banking, and also serves as a useful way to search for previous transactions inside my mailbox from time to time.

Besides that I use Home Assistant[0] with a few simple automations. For example, when the lights are on in the bathroom, and it's after dark, increase the heating/towel warmer (using Tado[1]).

Tado has its own home/away detection, plus some schedule for the heaters. It's supposed to save on energy costs.

When we're on holiday, I switch on/off various lights (with some random offset) at night... Or some times I might leave a radio on timer / connected to an IoT power switch. (I don't use any burglar alarms, cameras etc, but I try to deter them with those simple fake occupancy tools)

Philips Hue has a nice way to slowly turn the lights on. Useful to wake up during the dark winter months.

The movable type and printing press combination was introduced by Gutenberg in 1455 and in a single generation spread to hundreds of European cities. By 1500, there were 20 million printed books in Europe for a population of 70 million, mostly illiterate.

It was a cultural revolution, in half a century the price of books dropped by an order or two of magnitude. They were transformed from a luxury item only the wealthiest could afford to something any middle class, literate citizen could own.

On top of that, Apple has some of _the_ most advanced manufacturing technology on the planet. They're continuously a couple years ahead of everyone else for anything similar to their product line, especially around molding processes. If a new, better process hits the market, Apple often snaps them up.

The original unibody aluminum Apple TV remote is a masterpiece.

A lifetime ago, we were working with Foxconn and a colleague managed to sneak onto an Apple floor and take a look at some of their tools -- he was gobsmacked at what they were capable of. The stuff of industrial design engineers' dreams.

I've wanted to do something like this for so long but it just seems so painful. How do you do this with just a little script when there's so much Javascript involved in the page, as well as random interjections like random extra security verification steps? Do you have a particularly scrape-friendly bank?
Well, this is just a Python web scraper, and Instagram does in fact attempt to detect and prevent/rate-limit this kind of scraping. They rely very heavily on the source IP to help them determine when to cut you off.

The lights in the most reasonably trafficked areas of my apartment are automated. The kitchen and bathroom mainly.

If I'm in the kitchen I'm actively cooking or using the sink and pacing around, so the motion sensor keeps the lights on. After 1 minute of no motion, they turn off. Important to set timers though as the lights are no longer a reminder if something is in the oven or on the stovetop.

For the bathroom, I have a sensor placed precisely to view both inside and out of the shower with the curtain closed. This means the lights won't turn off while someone is in the shower unless they stand really still for 2 minutes. If someone wants to take a bath and won't move much, I can override the sensor to a longer shutoff time.

At 6:30pm I have a light that turns on to simulate that we're home. Looking to move this to a "sunset minus 30 minutes" model soon so it appears more organic.

At 2am, all of the lights turn off in case we forgot, or as a friendly reminder to go to bed. It hasn't worked today. :)

I agree with your point about the productivity gains you get out of the box, particularly when starting new. The trouble I find in enterprise development particularly around things like Spring is that the features for which you onboard the framework for at inception act like the thin edge of the wedge. A couple of years in, and perhaps a few maintainers later, Spring is somehow running the show, and a huge source of non-essential complexity.

How to limit the scope of use of an on-boarded framework to just its original remit seems to be the challenge.

It's very difficult to communicate something when in most cases, in order to do it right, you need to understand the mental model of the other person, or explain a new —usually simplied— model from the ground. And as the article mentions even then it's hard to succeed, and you can't ever achieve perfect understanding anyway. You would need to be capable of mind control to have others always understand you, and then that's kinda paradoxical. But we will always have that drive, to try to explain no matter who's on the other side. Good work brain.
Haha that's a great question, but no, there is actually a different set of companies selling patterns for sewing and knitting (traditionally to their target demographic of older ladies). Companies that typically sell patterns to places like Hobby Lobby or Michaels, this kind of thing, and not companies like Old Navy and Forever21 and the like. In that industry, patterns are sort of like patents in a way, and these companies have amassed huge libraries of patterns and aggressively defend them with litigation. I'll dig a bit to see if I can find information about the specific events I'm thinking of, but the gist of it was that alongside Napster I believe, one of the biggest and earliest instances of copyright/IP litigation was against little old ladies who were using P2P to fileshare sewing and knitting patterns. This was before the RIAA started suing customers, and I believe it actually partly served as the inspiration for the RIAA stupidly choosing to go that route. It's been some years since I've read the story, so I'm likely not remembering some details correctly. Edit: I can't find a link to the story I'm thinking of, but you can actually find some side effects of this litigation, for example this "copyright notice" (especially read the actual PDF as this notice was pretty clearly issued to protect the interests of these pattern companies I'm talking about): https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/copyright-notice-...
