I worked at a pharmacy for years before moving overseas. I'm not a pharmacist, but overheard pharmacist-customer advice for melatonin many times. While melatonin is one of the safer sleep aids, the pharmacists would always warn to take the lowest dose possible, and only take it while needed without a doctor's oversight because of the threat of decreasing natural melatonin production. It causes a sort of dependency on the supplement. It always seemed occasional use was OK, and generally safer than some of the alternatives.

I think these risks are why the supplement is a prescription here (Norway), and I fully agree with this.

It can still be better than the dependency on other sleep aids and have fewer side effects, though.

I don't exercise regularly, and I really should. My issue is I always feel too tired to exercise in the morning, and I feel like I have trouble falling asleep if I exercise in the evening. But I'm starting to think that exercising late isn't the problem now. I'll try what you recommend. It's really hard to abstain from screens, too. I'm definitely not doing that. I'll try doing nothing other than reading actual books ~2 hours before bed from now on.
1996 was exactly when it was obvious the web was taking off. That was right when the transition was happening from online services like AOL that gave you some Internet access as an aside, to ISPs that just connected you directly via PPP. I was hired to answer tech support calls for some guys that had started an ISP in their apartment and within a month or two they'd grown exponentially and expanded to real offices.
I don't travel much and when I do, it is with my wife. She uses the airline wheelchairs and it seems to be a trigger for an additional inspection. On the last two trips we didn't get checked out, but I observed business men (white male, clean cut, etc) being checked out. Children (including toddlers) being checked out. Women of ages being checked out. Yet, I also saw those you might expect to fit the "profile" being passed straight through. This was at Melbourne and at Brisbane. I have a friend who is an Iraqi and he never seems to be pulled over for inspections when travelling around the world. Go figure.

When I have travelled elsewhere in the country, they just seemed to grab 4 to 6 people as they are passing through security. I can not offer any point of view regards elsewhere in the world, but at least here, it seems to be related to how much random disruption they can cause to all types of travellers.

I know that our government is getting more and more "afraid" of any kind of "terrorist" that they are willing to bring in more and more annoyances and intrusions. I have also seen some of the security inspection staff being more apologetic for increased intrusions.

It's just a fact of life that fear is being fed so that a greater control over the citizens can be created. This is irrespective of political affiliation any of our elected politicians may have. There are many people that I have discussed this matter with and they express the opinion that such policies should be in place because "fear".

As citizens, we need to start recognising that we are the ones who can elect people who will stand strong against fear and will do something to bring about an increase in the backbone of society. However, the citizenry of Australia seems to be focussed on many matters that don't matter.

"And compile-time analysis of tuple in/out patterns can make it run efficiently in most cases; adhering to some simple patterns can help too."

Sounds like it might be overly generalized, with the developer having to implement actual mechanisms ("simple patterns") on top and the compiler/runtime having to figure out efficient implementations by presumably sophisticated analysis, all the time hoping that the two align.

I didn't make any specific cost estimate, merely stating "some". I'll grant that $1.50 is actually "none" iff it's a negligible fraction of that worker's monthly earnings.

With "wages low skilled" at 4650BDT [1] that's $55.50 at today's exchange rate. I'm standing by my estimate of "some", as a 2.7% "tax" on income isn't negligible, and could have far greater significance for those who earn at the bottom of the scale.

I think the utility of the strict hierarchy conscious over subconscious is what is criticized. In its place, the notion that multiple competing narratives is being argued for. Which narrative is winning is then the content of conscious thought.

If you criticize something that’s known to happen both under agile and waterfall, you have to give some sort of a persuasive argument for how it’s actually caused by agile and not something more deep-rooted. Otherwise it’s just a particularly cheap cum hoc ergo propter hoc.

Backups (short-term) and archives (long-term to forever) are often two different things.

For long term archives of selected data I play with Perkeep on local NAS. Also I burn M-Discs and BD-R HTLs and in general every decade copy all that to newer and bigger WORM storage.

For backups of NAS against disaster recovery I use offsite SFTP storage (Hetzner StorageBox). BorgBackup and a bunch of scripts take care of encryption, dedup and retention.

The point of archive is that it needs to be easy for my grand...grand children to find and read my box of family photo disks in the under stairs closet.
Then in case of NAS failure I have these fresh cloud backups to recover from.
I've been adding to OSM maps for about 5 years, mostly in the UK, but also on Humanitarian OSM. I've had no problems with crossing people.

I think it differs from wikipedia in that I am usually adding to the map (mostly paths and buildings), rather then editing existing objects (except when they are out of date) - so conflicts are not likely to occur.

Possibly in regions where the map is already 'perfect' there might be conflicts, but you are less likely to be editing such areas, I expect.

That's not what happened. uBlock Origin was originally (heh) uBlock. Gorhill, the developer, got sick of endless hordes of people posting github issues about unblocked ads (an issue which should be directed at blocklist maintainers), so he gave the uBlock project away to some teenager.

It turned out that the kid didn't have the skills to continue the project. He basically ported the addon to Safari and put a donation beg message up on the website. Gorhill soon returned to the project, but was unable to get the rights to it back, so forked it as uBlock Origin. IIRC this was in 2015 or so. Ever since, Origin has been the only adblocker worth using.
> Ultimate driver? How does that work?

By a 1000$ being 1000$ to many people regardless of how the person offering it came by it, money destroys information that way. Because many decisions are excused as making "business sense", as opposed to making sense.

> Offer a dud product or service and see how that goes down!

Usually, a dud is something that's not successful, not something that sucks. Because financial success determines the quality of something for many. If people want to drink Coca-Cola because they made a judgement to be influenced by short erotic films, then that's that, and Coca-Cola is objectively the best subjective choice for most people.

> The incentive then becomes that of giving up or meeting the customer's needs.

Yeah, because if you don't like Apple, you can use Microsoft, and that keeps both of them just so in line. Because we don't constantly jump through new hoops designed to game our attention and empty our wallets just a bit more by all sorts of companies. Computing, gaming, entertainment, it's all working out really well and just keeps getting better. Remember how YouTube made it easier to find and filter the content of channels you subscribed to, how they just flat out stopped fucking around with video makers and their viewers? Remember how Facebook stopped second-guessing what their users want to see because of that whole backlash about manipulating them? That emperor is rocking some mighty fine threads, pity the fools that can't see them.
I received the exact same message, when I applied to Startup School.

Interestingly, I am 99% certain that I added my co-founder to the list, the day I applied. Then I got the "reminder" message, the same as you.

There are dozens of articles, outlining the success of multiple founders. Single founders do not succeed (statistically speaking) as often as multi-founder companies.

I Founded the company about 14 months ago. I found my first investor and named him a co-founder about 12 months ago. I hired a CEO about 10 months ago, and also made him a co-founder.

Portability is what made UNIX the most widespread and successful operating system of all time.

As an engineer yes I want to solve practical problems with a computer, but I also don’t want to dictate (within reason) which OS the user must use. For example, if one of potential users of my software has a really advanced FreeBSD or OpenBSD setup and they can compile link and package my software, it would enable them to keep the advantages of their setup, and my software would make their advanced setup even more useful, like compound return on investment. Another advantage of this approach is that by not dictating the platform, it makes the user more productive and saves their time. People just want to get a task done and solve a problem, and respecting their time should be one of the programmer’s priorities.
The report (not the summary from citylab) says:

> Jackson’s plentiful parking supply was underutilized. Despite its small land area and population, millions of visitors drive through the city every year so it is plausible that Jackson needs a lot of parking. But a Jackson-commissioned parking occupancy study of the residential core and midtown areas during peak tourist season in 2017 by Kimberly-Horn found, on average, 68 percent of parking stalls were empty in the residential core, and 61 percent were vacant in the midtown area. Occupancy peaked at 43 percent for the residential core and 51 percent for midtown. These low occupancy rates could suggest that parking is overpriced in Jackson, but at the time of this study, all parking in Jackson was provided at no cost. The conclusion must be that Jackson has an oversupply of parking.

I am unable to find the original study, cited as "Town Of Jackson Parking Garage Challenges to Success" from http://townofjackson.com/ services/police/pr/parking-garage-challenges-success/ .

EDIT: in looking around, I found this Reddit comment - https://www.reddit.com/r/JacksonHole/comments/6bpvhl/town_of... - that the town has such a housing crunch in summer that they will be renting out parking spaces as housing.

That fits in with the thesis that there is too much free parking in Jackson.
