I gave up a lot of things for a healthy pregnancy including coffee, tea, sugar, chocolates, and processed food. Now, my son is nearly 3 and I haven't missed any of the above.

Not sure if these tips help, but here goes.

- Wake up early in the morning just as the sun comes out. I wake up around 5.30 AM. Enjoy the quiet and meditate (Whichever way you find comfortable - pray, do yoga, or just sit still in the outdoors and soak in the environment or write your thoughts in a journal) 10mins is a good starting point. You can stretch it to half an hour if you enjoy the task.

- Have a large glass of water after you brush. Then in place of your coffee or tea have a glass of milk. Go for a brisk walk.

- Then enjoy making your breakfast. You'll appreciate eating it after.

- Pack up some fresh fruits that you like to snack on at work. Whenever you feel like having coffee, have a fruit or drink water.

- If you feel low or distracted, go bond with a cheery colleague. You will come back with a renewed focus to your work.

- Have your lunch on time. By 1 - 1.30 PM. Include fresh vegetables. They can uplift your mood.

- Go for a walk in the evening as well.

- Have your dinner around 7.30 - 8 PM

- If you have a partner or family or roommates, dinner time is a good time to bond. Share the fun things that happened during the day and also whatever stressed you out.

- Go to sleep around 9 - 9.30 PM. An hour after your dinner.

Dont be too harsh on yourself if you crave the occasional coffee once in a while. Your lifestyle changes should have a higher purpose (for me it was the health of the unborn - the best I can do for him) and it should be fun not an imposition.

In short, change your sleeping and eating habits, and connect with real people to free yourself from unhealthy mood stimulants.

Hope this helps you!
I grew up in/around Sacramento. The new residential construction is almost always accompanied by new sidewalks, from what I've seen. It's usually the older areas that have spotty sidewalk coverage, but those are getting patched up (especially now that Sac's more-or-less recovered from the housing bust).
Didn't VB use windowed controls as well? I distinctly remember everything being a ThunderSomething when looking with Spy++.
pretty much it, also azure is slightly better at pricing in asia
does anyone actually use this? it looks convoluted.
There are online contact lens providers which don't require prescriptions, regulations vary by country and state.
It seems no one wants to learn the lesson Facebook was forced to learn - No wholesale UI changes.
Seems that way to me, too. I'm not certain, though, since my contacts have long moved on.
I've been playing records for a few years and have had the pleasure of playing with a DJR400. Some personal additions to the article I'd like to share:

1. The physical feel of the device is amazing. Every knob feels and looks both smooth and incredibly sturdy. It's like the difference between driving a Mazda and a Porsche. Madza might be more versatile, practical, and cost-effective. But which one of them is more fun to use?

2. Simpler design. Sometimes less is more, especially at DJ gigs. The article kind of hints at this, but part of the feel is not just the quality of the parts but how little (visible) parts the device has. Just compare how the Xone (one of the most respected lines of mixers) looks: https://i.pinimg.com/474x/35/52/dd/3552dd4fbb206be6a4425523e... to the DJR-400:http://www.electronique-spectacle.com/media/DJR400.jpg Yet the tools in DJR-400 are just fine. I definitely wouldn't want a DJR-400 for a 10-hour minimal techno set, but for blasting out house music in a packed club there might not be anything better at that price point.

3. You can do amazing tricks with the above mentioned Xone mixer (you could argue that it's almost a musical instrument of its own), but the way of operating reminds me more of a computer than an analogue device. There's a reason why so many DJs still prefer vinyl. The digital XDJ stations are even "worse" in this aspect with their LCD touchscreens and endless configuration options behind menu trees. After a long day sitting on a computer, the last thing I want is to feel like going to stand next to another computer.

4. If a problem occurs on an analogue device there are only a few things that could have gone wrong; there's some dust where there shouldn't be, some cable is loose, there's problems with electricity or some part is physically bent. But with these increasingly digital tools it's more like debugging and fixing a computer with proprietary software. There's an endless amount of error modes and although the reliability of the high-end models is still excellent, it's just another thing to keep in the back of your mind when you're trying to focus on your music and expression. The new rotary mixers are a statement against this trend of increasing digitalisation that has entered the mixer market, too.
I have an XPS15 that's almost two years old at this point. It doesn't have the same flaws as an MBP but overall I feel like it may be slightly less durable.

The screen isn't covered with Gorilla Glass and gets marked up the way Macbooks used to. The monitor hinge has a little slack in it and the power connector is a bit loose.

The trackpad has been surprisingly good. The keyboard is decent. I also like the fact that I was able to swap in 32GB of memory and an NVME SSD of the make and model of my choice.

Mine came with a Fujitsu SSD, I think. I swapped in a much larger Samsung 960 Pro. I've ordered several of these for others and they all came with a Samsung OEM unit of equivalent performance.

In summary, the hardware doesn't suck and it runs Linux, which is the best part.

I agree with the OP’s point. In a race of unicorns the length of the horns matter.

A Facebook trumps a portfolio of LinkedIn, Tumblr, Snapchat, Box, Nest anyday.
Sure, but how do you find a project like that to enter at a useful stage? I feel like with the Panama Papers, any semi-public plea for help sorting through that data would have thwarted the journalists
We've gone to great lengths to get as close to accurate 'queueing theory' for our game, SimAirport. The systems allow for a global queue for many desks, or one queue per desk, or any hybrid of one queue per N desks, etc...

It's tough because scaling time & 'movement distance' in a simulation game isn't easy -- but sounds like that's actually an issue in real-life, too. :)
>They didn’t even cover the racist stuff said against the kids.

Do you seriously not understand the point of that statement being made to people wearing MAGA hats? Notice I said understand, not agree with. Because labeling statements that are designed to use the absurdity of the MAGA's hatters position on various topics as a rhetorical tool against themselves as "racist" in order to fabricate some sort of "gotchya" talking point tells me you don't.

>I unsubscribed from the NYTimes over this.

Spare me.
Maybe this is a case of too soon for the market?

Even Mother Jones would call it mostly uncorroborated.

What source are you using to get "almost entirely corroborated"?
Maybe not an option for all, but for everyone on my team, we ordered the least memory available (8GB) and swapped in 32GB of memory for less money than the 16GB unit.

I also swapped the Killer wireless for an Intel unit.
I fully support high marginal tax rates on high earners (70% @ >$5 million/year in income) to help stabilize social security as well as contribute to the general fund. It’s also not a hard choice to make.

I never understand why “tax the ultra wealthy” is always deemed a hard choice, or thought of as untenable. Could they leave the country? Sure! That’s what the exit tax is for upon renouncing US citizenship.

I am not advocating for squeezing the rich to death like a python, but argue that the pendulum has swung to far towards “let them eat avacodo toast and watch Netflix”. The pendulum must swing back a bit.

Doesn't Apple limit the resolution of depth sensor data for 3rd-party apps? Such scans are much less accurate than FaceID or a 3D camera connected to a laptop or mobile device.
I don't understand the difficulty here, at least for people with ordinary single-vision prescriptions.

10 years ago I was buying glasses mail-order from optical4less in Hong Kong: 58 USD for two pairs including single-vision lenses and shipping to anywhere in the world.

In the UK, places like speckyfoureyes are even cheaper, and have a wide selection of frames.

Both of these places show extensive details of frame measurements, which should allow you to choose frames that suit your face, unless it's your first time buying glasses ever (unlikely if you're an adult, as most of us develop issues earlier).

Sure, if you need to have name-brand frames or want a very specific fashion statement, maybe there's only one brand that will work for you.

But the fact that a particular person is satisfied only by a particular handbag costing $10k does not mean that 'handbags are so expensive'. Because most people can be satisfied with a handbag that costs 99% less than that.
> I was very surprised, because BuzzFeed strikes me as a garbage site that doesn't care if it's destroying the public discourse with outrage bait.

That’s because the person in question was a) speaking through a tribalistic ideological lense, not some sober view of the quality of their work and the complete picture of their output (is not a few talented ones who pop up once in a while in a sea replete with endless garbage and questionable editorial ethics) or b) doesn’t really follow Buzzfeed very closely and may only come across the occasional good thing that comes out in the minority of cases (and there no doubt are some good stuff that comes out of it)
It is good to read that some people are at least trying to take a measured view of things that are happening. I don't know how to handle the "news" these days other than to ignore it completely. People are just too interested in being entertained on a simplistic level I guess. It is really hard to watch.

These spam calls and texts are very annoying. The authority should do something to stop them from calling residents. I read thousands of reports filed by people at sites like http://whycall.me about similar spam calls and texts since years ago.
Well, it is the same XAML, it just uses different controls from a different namespace. At its heart XAML is just a way of encoding object graphs in XML and can work with pretty much anything that has a default ctor and properties. As far as generic serialization formats for XML go it's one of the nicer ones in my book.
> You may not have defended what happened but if you don’t think it’s acceptable either my reading comprehension or your writing needs work.

I think they meant 'acceptable cost' from the perspective of a parent deciding whether to let their children use public transport unsupervised. Meaning: despite the risk, it's still worth letting them roam free. (Not meaning: it's socially or morally acceptable that people sometimes intimidate and rob children.)

FWIW, I have a 2015 Dell XPS 15 that had the battery start to swell(making the trackpad unusable), I did not get next day service but was able to schedule an appointment where the tech came and fixed it, no charge. All in all I don't regret my purchase and would buy again, I think the screen is still amazing and nobody else seems to want to challenge Dell in the niche they've made.
The device uses one of SIMCom SIM7100E or SIM7100A WWAN module.
I guess that Devuan is also affected by this, so does anyone know if updated installation images will be available?
Not going to lie, felt like a great deal of effort was put into not only the questions, but the multiple choice answers. Made it easy to breeze right through it.
That's my feedback on TICK as well, it's pretty hard to debug and implement something like this:

https://github.com/gravitational/monitoring-app/blob/master/...

I looked at flux, and it seems pretty compatible with TICK script, although I don't have a clear understanding on how to make it easy to write alerts/queries and debug them yet.

I would be curious to try out REPL:

> We plan to provide a flux command line program that exposes a REPL and talks to various data sources.

Especially interested to see how easy it would be to edit and troubleshoot a multi-line transformation query like this one in it:

cpu = data
// only get the last 5m of data
|> range(start: -5m)
// only get the "usage_user" data from the _measurement "cpu"
|> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "cpu" and r._field == "usage_user")

Why create a new language vs using javascript or lua?

e.g. your flux example above could have been just:

let cpu = data.range({start: "-5m"}).filter(func(r){return r.measurement == "cpu" && r.field == "usage_user"})

Is there any specific feature of flux that requires a new language? I read your blog post here:

https://www.influxdata.com/blog/why-were-building-flux-a-new...

and it brings some valid points on Flux vs SQL, however I would be interested how would it compare as Flux vs Javascript or Flux vs Lua :)
How to market to smart people [2007]
Wow. USD 3000 is a bit too much. Can you show an example of which kind of device this is (some link)? When I search on Amazon.com for 'hearing aid', the ones that show up are pretty cheap (e.g. USD 54 to 100ish)? Apologies for my ignorance.
VB (1-6)’s “built-in” controls like Buttons and Checkboxes were windowless, most of the others were ActiveX controls which were windowed. This carried-over to VBA where some controls are windowless built-ins and the rest are ActiveX too.
Maybe I should try Fedora. The Killer WiFi continues to be a problem for me. (Debian Buster with 4.19 kernel and firmware downloaded from the Killer github account.) My uptime is 25 minutes right now because I had to reboot. I restored WiFi when it dropped earlier but the next time the restore process locked up the machine solid (as in hold the power button until it shuts down. Occasionally the Bluetooth disappears and requires a complete power down to restore. BT is on the same Killer module.

I don't know if it is drivers, firmware or my AP but it truly sucks. One really annoying aspect in an otherwise very nice machine. (9370, BTW.)
> A kid getting robbed is “acceptable?”

I agree that it's a big deal (and perhaps more to the point, in a place where this happens, it's unlikely to actually be the worst thing that happens). But I don't think Wowfunhappy meant 'acceptable' in the way you might have read it. I think they meant it is outweighed by the benefit of being free to travel alone.
I grew up in the late 90s and early 2000s in an apartment complex where about a dozen of us kids in the area spent all day out and about. We built clubhouses in the woods, played Pokemon and Yugioh on the sidewalks, and as we got older started trekking up and down a walking trail next to the complex to convenience stores and towns up to several miles away.

At the same time, there were probably another half dozen kids we knew of living in and around the area whose parents refused to let them come out to play. In hindsight, they were the rising tide that seems to have taken over parenting, despite all those kids probably now being able to testify they missed the opportunity.
Exactly what I was getting at. Yes in practice hard to implement, but on a conceptual level it seems like in a democracy if one person is one vote, why can’t one person be one dollar(or many dollars) to fund the agencies they care about?
So far I think the best value, even better than Costco, is Sam's Club. Bring them frames and they will trace them and measure your PD, then make you a pair of single vision Pentax lenses with AR coating, for less than $40. Add $60 and you have polarized sunglasses. This is for CR39 plastic which is optically superior to polycarbonate/high index lenses. There is also a great warranty, since Sam's Club will let you return anything practically any time.

You can find most frames for a few bucks on eBay, including popular brands like Ray Ban.

I have bought quite a few pair so far and am super satisfied, especially with the optical quality, compared to the competition's "HD" stuff.
Here's my experience with Microsoft.

I believe their feedback mechanisms are placebo, pacifiers for loud people. Microsoft pesters you to give feedback and works hard to ignore them. And then goes ahead with what they initially planned. At the end, they'll announce - "We had delivered what you wanted. Based on feedback..."

And then you start wondering if you're in the minority and other people are simply crazy until you see multiple complaints about the same things.

Their music app, Windows phone, Windows 10, Skype and Edge are where I experienced this. In all cases, user experience kept getting worse with each "IMPROVEMENT."

The only time Microsoft listens is when people ignore official feedback channels and there are massive outcries on many fronts. Even then, Microsoft often retreats only temporary.

An investigative journalist was found to have fabricated large parts of his reportage over years of work for the paper.
I agree. We've been in search for the last two years for a business that seriously benefits from our work. Have found people who see our work as "nice to haves" but have not found any businesses that view our work as mission critical to what they do.
nobody think "AI" thinks "rachel maddow is a man" except for people who don't get AI - which is amusing given the authors attempt at being authoritative in the field. There's a reason this didn't get a bunch of upvotes.

Really, just lazy article writing. Come back with some meaningful insights or research. If the author wishes to play on people's ignorance of AI, HN is not the place to do it.
I actually don't like global queueing for the simple reason that I have to keep moving. In a local queue, I can stop and ignore the world for a minute.

My favorite solution is that adopted by my local Trader Joe's. They use local queues, but somehow seem to magically always have just enough checkouts open that at most one person is waiting in each queue. Further, the queues are not separated from each other by barriers, so when a cashier empties their queue (a common occurrence), they can steal customers from neighboring queues.

In fact this system works so well that I don't think I've ever had to finish waiting for the person ahead of me in my chosen queue. Almost invariably, either there is a free register, or another cashier steals me before I reach the head of my queue.

I think this system is enabled partly by the fact that Trader Joe's are almost always small enough that workers can be summoned to cashier duty from anywhere in the store in a matter of seconds. Traditional supermarkets are too large to be able to react so quickly to workload variance, leading them to rely on deep queues to keep cashiers busy.

(Not all Trader Joe's are blessed with this system. There is one in Boston, the smallest TJ's in the nation, which, owing to its size, must resort to a global queue which, at peak hours, snakes its way through all aisles of the store such that the only means of shopping is to first get in the checkout line, and then to add things to your basket as you slowly make your way to the checkout. I suppose in some sardonic sense this is the most efficient of all systems, if you are purchasing items from all sections of the store anyway.)
This mimics the mac vs windows argument I had with my brother-in-law where it boiled down to the fact that you could run windows on something cheaper than a macbook. Even though in order to remap caps lock to something reasonable you have to edit the registry. In 2019. The best answer I think involves windows server 2003 resource kit and its UI, which is so old it could get a driver's license.

You save money but what kind of life is that?

I'd be keen to know more on the numbers of developers who've stopped contributing to StackOverflow in recent years.

I've found them to be increasingly political and preachy, and force US opinions on politics on what is a global audience.

I had a 20k account at some point, but after their uncoordinated and aggressive approach to the travel ban, I deleted my account.

Good to know. But judging by the current messaging on the site that where you're supposed to send those complaints for that... I don't think there's much enforcement going on right now.

My first time participating.. does the survey closing on the 12th translate to results on the 12th as well?
Certainly, but you'll find the same pattern with any audience. Buzzfeed is a relatively recognizable name, and almost no one knows that it has a semi-serious news version.
>I feel like occasions where the police react too slowly and hostages get killed would make it into the news.

Here you go

I'm pretty sure that an experienced police easily recognizes when it is a serious dangerous stuff like the above, and when it is just a safe, for police, swatting where you can just go in with all guns blazing.

Ha, exactly what my wife told me when I shared this article with her.
Most people in the west have no idea the holodomor genocide of millions by the Bolsheviks (much of whose leadership and financing was from New York) ever occurred. His downplaying of it is doubtless partly responsible.
Slow and mostly in hindsight.

I’m not a big fan that many front page links are to big news outlets nowadays. It’s not hard to find NYT, WSJ, Economist, etc news and I’m not generally seeking out that type of content here. But I see a lot of it on HN now. And geez so many paywall links.

I liked it much more when it was more independent content. More focused on learning and building. It felt like the whole start up thing was new and everyone was helping each other learn.

Regardless of time, the comments keep me coming back. It feels more like the “old” internet when it had a net positive vibe.
I certainly felt this back in university when reading about police corruption investigations. The amounts involved often just seemed sad.
