So I have an notebook something like a bullet journal. Every morning, I write the tasks that I should do that day but I never use that journal for meetings. I use Calendar app for meetings.

If I want to break a habit every time I have temptation for that feeling I try to replace that feeling with a little great habit. Let me give you an example, Let's assume that I am smoking. If I would like to quit smoking, every time I want cigaret I would read a page from a book(Or ten).

If I want to form a new habit, I would put that habit on the easiest that I could perform. For example, If I want to go to gym, I would put that on the morning because latter I would be tired.
If we include consoles, then I'd put "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" in there, from the same year as "Super Mario Kart". That was a good year for SNES.
Teen Creates Website and App that uses AI to help with your poop health
Their ebook is not available for purchase. They make it sound like that's the tradeoff, which is sad even more than ironic since of course there are alternatives.

I just checked, and this book (from 2016) is not available from a German online shop that carries a lot of DRM-free epubs, for example (buch7.de).

So, yet again, the only way to acquire an actual electronic copy that is not borrowed is via "piracy".
Show HN: Take photos of your poop for better gut health
I'm a sophomore at Bronx Science, and over my last summer vacation, I created Crappsy.com (and it's android and ios apps). Crappsy allows you to take a photo of your poop. Our AI then scans the photo and rates its healthiness. Based on that healthiness, we give you personalized health recommendations and products to fix your issues. You also get a "Crappsy score" as a fun way to track your gut health. Digestive issues affect many Americans, and I hope Crappsy can help!

x86 CPUs arrive in a software marketplace with tons of compatible software available for them. AMD GPUs are at an enormous disadvantage without support for Cuda or some equivalent, or even some hint to developers about what they should be programming to (is it still OpenCL?)

They necessarily have to sell at a huge discount or datacenter providers won’t even pick up the phone when they call.

I can understand also the need to prevent public panic. But I can not understand the motivation of organizing big public activities when knowing a dangerous virus is in the ran. I am referring to the so called "40k family banquet" （https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kft21UdBFI）. Permit me copy my other comment here to explain what it is:

I read on twitter around Dec 31 that there was such a virus spreading in Wuhan. Around Jan 1, the Wuhan police dep publicly condemned 8 person (the origin of the twitter news) for spreading this information and called it a rumour. Then the gov did everything to hide info and did nothing to prevent its spreading before around Jan 2x. They behaved even like they want to spread it as much as possible because just about two to five days before they made the announcement of the virus outbreak, the Wuhan gov organized a so called 40k family new year banquet -- around 40k Wuhan local families were concentrated together to have a banquet to celebrate the coming Chinese new year. All the events I cited here can be found on China's own newspaper and tv recordings.
The protests died out as soon as the as outbreak started. Protesters avoid congregating to avoid transmission, and the news cycle has moved on. Carrie Lam must be breathing a sigh of relief.
It's regrettable that this is current state. Google equates a login and recent activity with them as being a "legit person". Anything short of that means you're a malicious bot. The traffic dominance of Cloudflare and Google deserves some real independent scrutiny.

Pointers living through a render pass aren't the main use case he is interested in. It's a problem space that many engineers are familiar with so it's easy to talk about.

CSS is horrible for quick mockup iteration.

While Grid(I love named areas!) and Flexbox have improved layout, the initial layout process is still rougher than it should be.

Pretty much every other design/layout/ui creation tool has all kind of helpers which pure CSS lacks.

I am talking about basic guidelines, rulers etc that every tool/layout under the sun (QT, WPF, WinForms, Photoshop, Illustrator even Powerpoint, you name it the basic alignment rearrangement functions are a mouseclick away.

Sure the created document might be a huge mess, but that is not the point when you are messing around.

If you start messing around with CSS you enter a world of pain unless you know the properties down cold.

Client asks how would that picture look here and that menu shrunk a bit down here?

With CSS it would take much longer to iterate than with any other tool.

With something like WPF I do not need to know XAML by heart to quickly create some reasonable working mockups for a .net application.

This explains why it is much easier to do creative mockups in another tool (I see designers who use Adobe XD quite a bit now).

When one is in the creative stage CSS is a huge hindrance.

Microsoft Streets & Trips had this feature around 1997. It also had the feature your parent asked for where it would optimize a route with more than two locations (travelling salesman).

Yes, 1997, so you needed a laptop in your car and a person other than the driver to operate it, but it worked.
Data Science Job: How to Become a Data Scientist
I think I could manage to live with myself for a few billion dollars.
The hamburger itself isn’t so bad here as the horribly janky and broken custom scrolling, which is broken on desktop as well.
This is precisely one of the assumptions that I am, humbly, questioning. It's more complex than that. Are the French so unlike all their governments and regimes? Are Americans that much unlike their leaders and political system? Is any society, really, thus separable in parts, beyond the abstraction of analysis? And what happens to ideas formed abstractly, in a vacuum, as they land in reality?

I mean, you can make the factual, scientific category; you may reason about it and build models that work to some extent; but reality is never clear cut, it's always hyper-complex in comparison of any short statement (hence why it's hard to meaningfully discuss such concepts in less than articles, ideally books). That's one my take-aways from a few years of sociology. Some things you just can't condense, even if it makes for a witty and intuitive proposition. Rigid values, as opposed to starting from relativity, really is the enemy of the thinker in a complex/chaotic environment such as those attemptedly described by the social sciences.

Just my 2cts. Claiming that "politicians are A, but the people are B!" is already a dubious proposition that lacks substance beneath its romantic appeal; but generalized to a massively distributed yet pyramidal political system of 1.5 billion people, it's sociologically nonsensical.

I think you really hit the nail on the head, thanks for sharing!

Privacy is definitely at the center of what I'm building. My approach is to put full control of their own data in the users hands. Data is only shared with a service when a user explicitly allows it and the user is always aware of what that data is. Your idea of being able to share nothing at all is also something I've been thinking a lot about. Being able to verify an identity without leaking any PII is one of my main goals.

I also agree with you on the issue of governments. There are very few who have managed to introduce a digital ID locally. A large amount of countries coming together and building a common solution seems very far-fetched currently. Where I'm from, Sweden, we have a well functioning digital ID used by everybody. Funny thing is that it was created by the private banks and only later adopted by the government.

It's definitely a hard problem but judging by the evidence it's solvable, just hope I'm on the right path. If you have any more thoughts I'd love to hear them!
That's not reddit, though...
Another issue is the obsession with regulating implementation, there really should not be any other terms to follow beyond power and general FCC interference guidelines. The stuff on encryption is obsolete and puts up unnecessary barriers in this day and age.
> UBI will be useless unless rent seeking is eliminated with it, because the price of any good or service that profits rent seekers will be inflated almost instantly to maintain differentials.

I've heard this concern before, but what's the assumption that is being made? That UBI will drive more people to cities and increase demand? That landlords would simply increase rent knowing renters have a larger income? That people's long term expectations of inflation changes?
In addition to bringing countries freedom and democracy we really ought to start promoting bagels as well.
Art vs. Addiction on TV
Always on party line PTT is a very different thing from PSTN voice calling, although some satellite networks do offer the former. PTT is indispensable in a real-time group coordination scenario, but can’t support in depth conversations or (usually) long distances. You want both.

It’s also basically impossible to receive a call on a handheld sat phone unless you schedule a time to be pointing the antenna at the sky.
That was before AWS came into the picture. Amazon is definitely a tech company that sells widgets on the side, seeing as AWS is where the majority of their profits are derived. By leveraging this large profit margin, they are able to sell at near break-even or even afford to lose some money to attract customers (like prime subscription discounts).

This is how monopolies are started.

Lol idk what your experience is but mine is that verlan has basically permeated all casual conversations among everyone under 40. I guess you'd look a bit odd if you hung around the kind of people who take pride in not using any of that language but in practice virtually everyone uses verlan in one way or another.

Also, using slang isn't as frowned upon as it can be in America. Again, idk your experience but mine is that people swear left and right in casual conversation without anyone giving them a side glance. Of course in formal contexts such as addressing strangers in the street or greeting your baker you don't want ot, but the moment familiarity sets in you can be sure swearwords are going to pop all the time.

I think Doom isn't a pure carnage simulator as there's also a measure of navigating obstacles and surviving that makes it fun. Serious Sam really is just carnage, and it's to its detriment; you get wave after wave of enemies and I lost interest after a few levels.

Every year we learn more about how suit-wearers do business: nepotism, bribery, kickbacks, back scratching, quid pro quo … but we continue to believe the myth of the “self made man,” who raised themselves to success by hard work and thorough understanding of their technical field.
The reason people don't trust governments is because of a constant, never-ending stream of lies. They didn't lie once. They hardly ever not lie. This applies to China, the US, and other governments. A more appropriate phrase is "continually lying" rather than "once lied." The difference is huge enough that you don't even have an argument to stand on. And for the record, I wouldn't trust then even if they did literally only lie once. And neither would most people as most people value trust. One lie or a million, either way the trust is broken. The insane thing is that so many people trust governments even when they continuously prove over and over and over again that they can't be trusted. Lying continuously is only one of many ways they do that. Trusting governments is illogical, unreasonable, and frankly bordering on insane. What other person or entity that constantly lies and breaks trust would be trusted?
Everything Erdogan has said and done the last few years just screams he is planning to, eventually, go to war. For example: why would a NATO allied country buy a Russian anti aircraft system especially capable of locking on and destroying the lastest generation of NATO stealth fighters like the F35 Joint Strike Fighter and F22 Raptor?

Sadly a lot of what this new fascist Turkey has been doing (like military expansion into Syria, which once was part of the Ottoman Empire -- reviving it is the longtime dream of Erdogan) has gone mostly unnoticed and ignored and Christians, Kurds and Yazidis will pay a terrible price for it in the future.

History and human error sadly seem to remain repeating themselves.

The gold standard was a disaster that lead to the great depression, but that was government manipulated gold.

Gold in a free market would tend to self adjust.

Buying gold as an asset when there is a "flight to safety" and then selling it in better times when there are enough other good assets available such as stocks with good dividends would mean buying gold when gold prices are high and selling it when prices are low thus resulting in negative returns.

Negative real returns happen in free markets. Blocking them causes huge problems.

Tips from Poland on Old-School Zero Waste (2019)
> It was true that management became less engineering-driven in the 1980s-1990s period, which was both unfortunate and avoidable, but it's also true that over the same timeframe he's referring to, companies like Tektronix and HP had to migrate to custom ASICs and software-heavy architectures that were inherently less user-serviceable.

Why do you think that? What about ASICs and software-heavy makes devices less user-serviceable? I mean, software has schematics you, we usually call those "source code", but it's the same thing, so the assumption would be that devices would come with the source code for the software. With ASICs, I can see a problem when the ASIC itself is broken and you can't buy it anymore, but then I'd think that's probably not the most common failure mode?
Yes, being in a caloric defecit (relative to your previous normal) is hard. Most lifestyle changes are. Anyone who tells you different is lying to you. But it doesn't need to be excruciating, and if you plan around the foods you like to eat you can even end up enjoying it after a while.

The simplest solution is to eat less calorically dense foods -- hunger is partially determined by the volume of food you eat. As an extreme example, 1kg of broccoli has 340 calories -- there's no way you could be physically hungry if you ate that quantity of food for each meal. You shouldn't just eat broccoli (of course) but it's a motivating example of how minor food choices (double your portion of fibrous vegetables, and halve your portion of starchy carbohydrates) can impact your overall diet. Not to mention that fibrous carbohydrates are more satiating than starchy carbohydrates (the latter usually make you more hungry).

Not to mention there are lots of ways to massively reduce the amount of calories in food you commonly eat (though this does require you to cook your own food).

Also, for the love of all that is holy -- drink more water. The vast majority of people are dehydrated (your urine should be almost entirely clear, not yellow) and misinterpret thirst for hunger. Water doesn't have any calories.
That assumes these people are incapable of ever being productive. That's a different issue then just missing the economic opportunities to allow the communities to grow.

If you’re looking for the purest multiplayer shooter, it’s Quake. I spent so much time plying Quake in crappy online lobbies when I was younger, it was the best shooter around, and had a player base that held onto it for a very long time. Descent and Warcraft 2 were also pretty popular back then.
As a native Chinese, I agree with both. for 1) IMO Many documentaries from the west failed to tell the story in a way that is optimized for Chinese audiences. I think a root cause of that is the general public doesn’t have a great awareness of core democracy values like fairness and human rights.
Security reports from Google and Microsoft's teams prove otherwise.

Also let's not forget that C exploits go back to the 80's, when most of us where doing full application in Assembly.

And let add to my original comment that Tesla also has the Semi going into production later this year, and recently brought out a greatly improved version of its solar roof, and is working like crazy on self-driving.

But back to my question: what should it have been spending its money on that it didn't?

My own experience, which is documented there on Erowid, about 10 years ago at some ridiculous dosage ingested oral ROA, was much more akin to Psilocybin than DMT. i.e. not the most powerful psychedelic on the planet, but very formidable.
At their discretion.
I agree with the sentiment, but it's logically redundant since you cannot possibly “monter en bas”, so you should really just say “je monte”. In context, everybody knows if you're talking about the elevator or a horse (right?), and otherwise you may specify. And you're likely to add something, like “je monte chercher blabla” or “elle est montée depuis une heure”, which usually removes ambiguity.

Also, there are proper ways to say “monter en haut”! — monter à l'étage, monter l'escalier, monter dans sa chambre, etc.

Speaking of which, I find that it's particularly important to speak properly around kids, it reinforces good logic, thoroughness I think. My parents were like that, I've always been like that, and I guess I'll do the same to my kids, haha.
An experiment that created a hybrid version of a bat coronavirus — one related to the virus that causes SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) — has triggered renewed debate over whether engineering lab variants of viruses with possible pandemic potential is worth the risks.

My ardent hope is that the hubris-laden excitement over CRISPR is diminished, especially in Wall Street and Sand Hill Road.
A very reasonable question. Why your comment is all grey is a mystery to me. I'm interested, as you are, in the "why", "what should I do", etc.
The WHO map is very slow and does not list cases outside of China reliably in either the tables or the map, it also has functional errors in the source table which cause it to lack labels on some datapoints.
