Agree with other reply that tptacek has a good take. One thing to keep in mind is that glutamates play a role as neurotransmitters. It’s possible that if large doses are taken on an empty stomach they may exacerbate some insomnia symptoms.

It’s unclear how much of an effect it has though. Just like tryptophan in large doses can cause drowsiness. However for instance people eating turkey and getting sleepy assume it’s the tryptophan when really it’s just the large quantities of food they just ate, and the tryptophan really has no effect.

So like tptacek says... could be the sodium. But also dont just dismiss the role of glutamate out of hand.

And even if it does cause issues in some people, it’s probably also totally safe based on all the evidence.

Improving life in cities is a matter of fixing existing problems, like poor public transport and pollution from combustion engines and heating. Building a "feel good" fantasy around the hatred of cars isn't going to improve anything, it'll just replace the current best choice for individual transport with something inferior, as well as destroy the economy (which depends on roads for logistics and public services).

> Not exactly rocket science.

Rocket science seems straight forward in comparison to creating attractive, rather than combative, societies. The Nordic countries had insane possibilities the 'win' the information age, but have all to a large extent been going the other way (at least in terms of outlook).

> To me it seems that the US went to the other extreme and is only slowly turning around.

I don't think the US has been going the other way, so much that it has always been combative and the way to not get exponentially exploited in such a society is to build the easiest house anywhere. (You are still paying the price of course). Now as people are moving to cities again, they are rediscovering the dysfunctional society spanning both capitalism and government.

As I heard someone say recently most of the futuristic ideas of that era is based on the idea of free energy, but what we got instead is free information. So what we have to deal with is a lot closer to Gibson than Asimov.

>IMHO the fact that Asians have been consuming it in huge amounts for over a century, and yet there hasn't been any common health problems linked to it, should be enough of a clue that it's not really harmful...

This isn't really a good argument. Western people use lactose in a variety of ways such as a drink additive (tea), for cooking (cheese, cream-based sauces), and even consuming by the glass (good ol' fashion milk). However, there's a high prevalence of lactose intolerance in Asian countries. There are just some sensitivities, diseases, and reactions that are more prevalent in some ethnicities than others including lactose intolerance, sickle-cell anemia, and Tay-Sachs disease.

The point of this book isn't to function neither as the tutorial or intro to the language, nor as a language refererence or stdlib API referenece. It's purpose is to collect common tasks and show idiomatic and practical way to do them in Rust. In the process, its purpose is to introduce central libraries in the ecosystem. It sounds that you want it – and maybe the model of developing software in Rust itself? – to be something entirely different than it actually is.

Looking at it from another angle, I've got a suspicion that continually moving your hand from a typing position to use the mouse with a different (more of a claw) hand shape probably contributed to the rise in RSI.

When I started my career, it was the tail end of the era of the Typing Pool in large companies... when a room full of clerical people would be hammering away on electric typewriters for a full working day, but not dropping like flies with cases of RSI. So perhaps staying near the home row perhaps has other advantages.

I try and use Vim keymaps whenever possible with the dev tools available to me, and to keep hands on the keyboard whenever possible. I certainly notice less fatigue than the old days when I used to type, mouse, type, mouse.

Wanted to give you a separate reply for an insomnia hack. The best thing I ever did was find someone who did cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Ultimately insomnia is self perpetuating because we start to have anxiety about not being able to sleep, which fires up our fight or flight responses. Our body then starts to automatically associate bedtime with anxiety.

If you can find someone who treats anxiety with CBT they should be able to cure you of the insomnia.

If you can’t, then the best advice I ever got was to simply repeat to yourself, it’s not a big deal. “Maybe I’ll stay awake all night. Who cares. It won’t kill me. Even laying with my eyes closed is recuperative.” Basically don’t fight the insomnia or anxiety it produces. If you can just stop caring about it, eventually your nervous system will catch up.

Also make sure you don’t have sleep apnea... that can also cause anxiety because you’re choking on a nightly basis.

It is worth noting that H2 is not fundamental to the design. Just as the American space industry is transitioning from H2 to LCH4, so too could these 'rockets' use methane. Though methane has half the energy density per kg than hydrogen, it has seven times the energy density per unit of volume. That is a lot of tank structure than can be saved, not to mention a much nicer ballistic coefficient.

I'm really hoping that now that we have two methane-powered rocket engines coming online in the near term (Raptor and BE4), that the designers of Sabre and other hypersonic technologies might look at methane a bit more seriously.

I had a similar problem when I was 19 and working on a statistics problem. It was finals week and was very tired. Frustrated, I decided to take a nap, except my mind was "awake" during the nap if that makes any sense. Solved the problem in this state quite readily.

Unfortunately, I was unable to replicate that "mind awake, body asleep" effect since then. I suspect it is because I was never as tired as I was back then.

Thanks for your post. I've been wondering about federation distribution in various protocols since seeing similar stats for Mastodon [0]. Having federated protocol where vast majority of users still use one server is sub-optimal IMHO (this is not only for Matrix).

As for identity server, it was just surprising for me (from user's perspective) that when my friends ran a homeserver I still needed a lot of config on Riot for Android to connect to (homeserver URL, identity server URL).

I miss mp3.com and still have a few favourite mp3s by other people saved on a hard disk somewhere (or so I thought - doesn't seem to be on this hard disk so I'll have to check for them tonight).

I wish I'd archived the band bios too, because now they're completely out of context, just some band names and song titles which aren't Googleable in anyway. If any of the bios listed the musicians' names it'd be interesting to see what they're up to now, 20 years later.

You seem to assume that the passed-in object should also be used as the resulting object. This is false, as they can be decoupled.

In other words, it's still possible to pass in a separate js object instance containing the configuration.

Yet I'm not sure about the whole of your arguments, so I can't tell if it would actually make sense to wrap the default js builder pattern implementation (the javascript object initializer syntax aaaaaaaaaaab refers to).

However, I do method builders often overused in API's where a simple singular builder method combined with builder classes suffice and simplify.

This is the problem - if you have a large user base there is simply no business incentive for federation. It is so much easier (and cheaper) to just build your own silo without worrying about interoperability. Plus you have the ability to monetize a closed system through ads, data mining, etc. There are so many advantages.

And people don't complain (much) because, for chat especially, they have had years of conditioning that leads them to accept (and expect) that communication with their online contacts depends on installing multiple apps from multiple vendors and sharing their data with those vendors on whatever terms the vendors decide.

If you want to move away from Google 100% and expect DDG to fill the gap, it will be a disappointing experience.

What I have been doing successfully for three-ish years now is to use DDG as my default, which handles about 50% of my searches, while the other 50% are !bangs to sites I know I want to end up on.

A lot of the time that allows me to circumvent Google for a few extra searches, and sometimes it's just !g to show Google results, mostly when it's searches I want localized, or the topic is just too specific. For the latter I am trying to use !s more often.

Much like knowing what terms to look up, knowing when DDG results are good enough and when to use !g, !s or when to jump straight to the website you want to go to, is something that gets easier and starts to feel natural eventually.

I'm not 100% de-google-fied, but I'm 95% there in regards to searches, with none of the discomforts people keep bringing up.

I guess I'm less pessimistic, because I don't think that's true. I think there are quite a few people like me who are fed up with the shit that exists today and really want a good alternative. I think we'd be willing to make quite a few sacrifices for something with a whole lot of potential.

What seems to be true is that there are very few people both capable of making that happen and bold enough to try to make it something people can actually use instead of just a toy academic project.

It is about trade offs though. I moved from a 10 acre lot to a small city recently.

I miss other things about my rural lot though. There is no space to drive my tractor collection around. I can't see anywhere near as many stars at night.

It is about trade offs, I was happy in the rural area. I'm happy in town. Some think I like to do are better/easier, some things are worse/harder.

> Long live the ThinkPad.

This year's models are doing away with replaceable batteries for the most part. T490 has a built-in 50 Whr battery and no ability to extend or replace that without removing screws. It also gets rid of the 2.5 in drive option, one of the RAM slots (but it adds a soldered one), and it replaces the full size SD with a micro-SD. All of that for a small reduction in weight and thickness.

So, basically, the thinkpad line is gone now, it's just another poor macbook pro knockoff. I expect to see articles like this one for years to come, given that there are almost no options left if you want power, expandability and battery life in a single laptop package.
