Fair point, but it's a useful shorthand for "assembles a vast profile via collection of your data in an effort to manipulate your behavior." Part of Zuboff's book is about this very thing. This is an entirely new economic model in history and therefore we lack useful language to describe it, and since we struggle to describe it we struggle to criticize and oppose it.
Not really “offended”. I was actually more hoping I could make the original author notice some internalized misogyny. I appreciate when people point out when my thinking is based in bad stereotypes and assumptions. I was going for more of a bros-helping-bros kinda thing.
Recycling old smartphones solves the problem too. It also creates more local jobs and is better for the environment.
I think the relationship with the giver makes a big difference - the intent may be clearer. I was thinking in terms of wedding gifts, birthday gifts, etc. There are lots of other types of gifts where money wouldn't be very acceptable for anyone - eg housewarming/visitor gifts.
On paper it will be passed to the renter. The owner of the land obtains returns through rent seeking.

If he raises his rents to the maximum that renters are willing to pay then the value of the land grows and he has to pay more land value taxes. He actually cannot make land more expensive. He can only make the land as expensive as it already is.

Of course, it is entirely possible that the effective tax burden on the tenant has risen in the process. For that reason I would encourage the government to reduce income taxes.
So the housing market is so inefficient that removing a significant source of demand won’t change prices?

That is an exceptional claim that requires exceptional evidence.
Yeah, I think the last machine I bought from them was a around 2017. :D

My long-standing hardware issue with them is the refusal to offer an HDPI screen. I really want a screen that I can 2X, so, 3K at 13 inches, for example. All their laptops are 1080, however, which is a pretty inconvenient resolution.

I get why they do it. They focus on gaming and sell a lot of Nvidia cards, which means they are stuck on X and can't really move to Wayland. Maybe Nvidia's new driver will change things?

I'm actually looking long and hard at Tuxedo's new InfinityBook. It seems perfect, but I'd have to import it from Germany... decisions!

Buy it from who? Locals. So who gets the money? Locals.

But anyway the point was don’t divide people into insiders and ‘outsiders’.
Yes, though in my case I would say its more a slight mood lift or relaxation than a “high”, but the effects of exercise and alcohol are very similar and not cumulative, so if I’ve already done one its kind of redundant to do the other.
Yes, redhat based distros have podman as default. On debian/arch people had weird troubles.
You just said it. Scientific fields are not differentiated arbitrarily; they drift apart as their experimental needs diverge. Chemistry and particle physics used to be one field, back before the cost of particle accelerators diverged from the cost of chemistry labs.
The problem with these types of gems is that they're good for refactoring functional style code that takes an input and produces a result and has "few side effects" as they mention, but this is generally not the type of code you find in an old legacy rails application that you want to refactor. The whole thing that makes these refactors tricky is that they can just write to the db anywhere in a non obvious way.

If you naively go about refactoring something like:

POST /users

Thinking all you need to do is match the output of the current request and match the record it makes in the users table you're potentially missing a ton of side effects you didn't even know about.The problem has always been the side effects and until one of these gems can track and compare side effects in an intelligent way I don't see how they are that useful.
For me, alcohol interest goes down from exercise, not from diet changes.

100% on the carb/sugar cravings, though.

Do you drink alcohol straight? If you tend to drink beer, wine, or cocktails, maybe it's related to carbs in drinks?

I had this a few years ago, but it took me a week or so until my body settled down.

I should do this again, I'm back where I was; lots of sweets and beer thanks to the pandemic and boredom.
Thanks for following up with that. I think linking an onion article from seven years go definitely adds context to your point of view.
One of them wrote something like that, and seemed against the idea on that basis because there were other options Yahoo could go for. That was basically an argument for not doing the deal because it would only, maybe have those effects, but that wasn’t the opinion of the others. Ultimately that’s not why they bought them anyway. So no, not really.
Isn't this almost tautological? Like, you can't have a high fat low carb diet that includes much alcohol and sweet confectionary.
In fact one of the very common risks is to mix up goals and boring advice. Say, you wanna score in a soccer match: just receive the ball, get rid of defenders in case, and kick the ball in the net——which is both true and useless.

Eating fewer calories is not happening in a vacuum. It means giving up food, which is, broadly speaking, the joy of life for many people.
Exercising means committing to spend time in an environment and doing an activity that many do not like at all——it thus means going against their desires for months, years etc.

And I am writing from the position of someone who is in shape, fit, does boring things that work, but had, like many, very limited success in persuading others to follow boring advice.
Boric acid is very inert. It tastes like chalk.
The Wikipedia page says there are some some/weak evidence that it could affect reproductive systems, but you would need to ingest it for any effect (and a lot of it apparently).

It's not toxic otherwise. You need very high concentrations: lethal dose is 2.6g/kg. To put that in perspective, table salt is lethal at 3g/kg.

I think you’re mis-reading the thread. Jeff Huber says YouTube are cranking features, but their backend probably won’t scale and they don’t have good monetization. That ultimately ends up being what they do — after acquiring YouTube, they re-built it using Google’s distributed systems infrastructure and software. And the monetization model today is in fact (mostly) ads.

What you then see in the thread is someone else saying: yeah we’re going to catch up, we just need a couple of more devs.

And then the counterpoint that well, even if Google doesn’t end up doing it, at least it makes it harder for Yahoo.

The original motivation isn’t just to make it harder for Yahoo. It’s that Huber wants to bring these people on board because they are really good at innovating, and Google can help make it really successful. But there was some pushback, and then other reasons were presented to continue with the conversation.

At these companies (any company?), sometimes to get what you want you have to present a diverse set of reasons, even if only one of them is the principal reason why you want to do something.

I was also on Reddit at the time and noticed something funny on YouTube, it'd recommend other videos featured on Reddit because their algo saw unrelated videos being watched by the same group so thought it should recommend the others, although they were irrelevant.
Lower back tattoos were popular amongst young women in the 90s. Then the term "tramp stamp" caught on like wildfire and the practice came to an abrupt stop.
Yes, homophobia is a thing even in NL; what I think the GP post was trying to point out is that there’s been no connection between inline skating and any particular sexual orientation in NL. That rings true to me as another Dutchman who owns inline skates (though only for three years).
Ok, I don't know why I have been down voted for this question.
YouTube blew my mind in 2005. Obviously it isn’t practical for a business to lose money forever, but it felt so new and cool when there were no ads.
> But if the answer is "no", I cannot see how that justifies you getting a copy without paying. Where else in life is that a valid option? "I'd love to have a snickers bar, but I don't want to pay a dollar for it, so I guess I just take it." Obviously, there are differences between that example and sci-hub but for the core of the issue, these differences are negligible in my opinion.

I think the differences are definitely not negligible. There are similarities on the surface, yes, but one can distinguish between the two cases by asking "would it be OK if everyone did this?"

Basically Kant's categorical imperative:

> Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law

In the case of stealing snickers, we can imagine that if everyone did so, then making or selling snickers would no longer be a profitable business, so in the end snickers would no longer be produced, and we would all be worse for it :(

On the other hand, if everyone were to pirate scientific papers, no economic harm would come to the scientists doing the research for those papers. Only the journals would risk going out of business if they don't adapt, and that would be (or could be; i'm not entirely sure) a good outcome, as it would incentivize a more open approach to science distribution and access :)

So, one can conclude that, despite the surface similarities, stealing snickers is morally wrong, while pirating scientific papers is not.
Its a polemic really. The terseness and immediacy of Chekhov's stories and plays made them 'modern' and set them in contrast to older art. It was a very powerful shtick at the time.

Of course today's times are very different. Our lives have so much content and immediacy now that is beyond Chekov's experience that people seek out exactly the opposite.

Still I think the way he carefully and deliberately constructed things has a lot to teach us. In the software world he'd be a builder of lean core libraries and a hater of the bloatware apps that use them.
I've had a similar experience. I was on a low carb diet for over 6 months and then was in a situation where I would drink socially which hadn't been a while because of covid and was just like... When was the last time I drank? I couldn't figure it out. I wonder if it has more to do with how it feels to drink without glycogen stores, to me even a comparably small amount will hit me hard and I'll feel shitty the next day.

> In real life there is nobody enforcing Chekhov's gun.

Of course not. Which is sort of the point. We already have real life. Stories are something different. Checkov's gun isn't a statement of some kind of platonic ideal of fiction construction, it's a convention. We like stories with "tight" framing because it's easier to watch and keeps our attention on the things that matter. And that's all it means.

You can tell other kinds of stories. Art is art. But if you want people to like your stories (or whatever other artwork you're producing) you'll probably be better served y adhering to convention and violating it in small, targetted ways than you will be throwing out long-held standard assumptions.

(Note that the fact that these conventions exist is itself ammunition for creativity, btw. A "realist" story where nothing necessarily matters is going to have a very hard time delivering a creative twist at the end. A conventional plot, though, can leverage the fact that the audience is conditioned to expect things based on rules like Chekhov's, and subvert those in interesting ways.)
I'd be curious what percentage of people who regularly exercise do it socially. I always viewed it as a solo activity and would have previously disagreed with you, but my partner started going to the gym with her friends a few years ago, and since then I have noticed this a lot more with others.

It is the difference between buying expensive healthy food and going to a trainer who will tell you the most effective way to get in shape, and eating cheap unhealthy food that makes you feel bad and the trying to figure out how to exercise on your own.
Wealthy people certainly have an easier path to getting in shape
In. Net you can use Marten DB.

You can signal query able properties who are then duplicated as normal db columns. It works quite nice actually.
As a borderline alcoholic on my best days, I can honestly say walking briskly 30 minutes a day has probally saved my liver.

I defiantly drink less on days I exercise.

Oh yea, if prone to alcohol, and can't stop, don't ever switch over to hard alcohol. It's just to easy to abuse.

Stay with low alcohol beer, and low alcohol wine. Franzia has a 9% white, and tastes so bad you won't want to drink to much. If you feel like you are drinking to self medicate, only drink when the anxiety is bad. Stop all unnessary drinking, including social. My dad died of a huge liver tumor, and his death was beyond painful.

I come from four generations of alcoholics. I also had some nervous disorder while in grad school. The anxiety was so bad only alcohol could level me out.

I've seen a professional forever, and taken so many drugs, but in the long run exercise has been better than and drug I have been prescribed. I'm still on a couple of prescription drugs I need to get off of though.
Any universal platform or toolkit is overengineered somewhat (or a lot), but this is the name of the game. Flexibility comes at the price forcing you to invest into configuration, automation, deployment and maintenance. Then security comes to close the gaps. Every player in this game is honestly trying to be better and help others. Kubernetes is a fact of life and rightfully so. It needs helper tools in several areas. Security is just one of them and Kubescape is just a one step of many...

Cool, does it also work when you squash PR? One thing that annoys me about conventional commit is that they assume merge or rebass but if you squash features / bugs it's a one line change in your history. By default the auto generated message of a squash does not conform conventional commit
I've been trying a low-fat diet and I feel similar. I think if you start a new diet and stick to it for a few days to a week, it gets much easier to focus on the foods in your diet. Then the other interests are kinda still there, but not nearly as strong, maybe even gross enough to turn down.
There are many forms of alcohol that don't include too much carbs.

On top of that, I believe the GP was talking about not craving those at all as opposed to consciously abstaining despite the desire.

Having been on a similar diet in the past, I second the notion.

Or you could just watch cats and dogs for a while to see how clearly they understand the difference between friendly play, territorial grandstanding, and all-out war without needing accredited scientific legitimisation.

PS a little daily-ish data-entry-and-reconciling ritual, with a pleasant tool setup, can be quite satisfying! I actually look forward to it. (That right there is part of my PTA success story. I used to suffer a lot of stress around all things finance.)
I don’t think this is right either.

All studies are done by scientists who are desperate to get published and have their work referenced.

Even a cursory glance at that corner of funny-cute-etc-animals YouTube videos will convince that animals, especially mammals, have at least very complex internal and social lives.

I would be interested to know what percentage of people who lost their jobs are having trouble getting their exact job back.
You are right, but there are many many methods in any codebase that really are, for all intents and purposes, read-only - ie, get a bunch of data from data sources, stitch it together, and return a json blob.

These tools would make me feel a lot more confident refactoring code like this (actually, right now I use Postman automated API response recordings with a manually extracted dataset of representative query parameters from production logs to validate our changes) - so this indeed looks like it might make my life easier :)
You could say that, yes.

But people categorize information that is/is not relevant to their lives. Friend in question was a long-time cat owner, but not a flowers person, so it wouldn't be unusual for the vague knowledge to have faded.

The florist was the only one that knew 100% for sure that lilys would be included in the gift, and should have known that they were highly toxic to cats. A simple "does the recipient have a cat?" question would have gone a long way to preventing a lot of pain and anguish.

I do consider it unforgiveable that the question is not asked as a matter of course.

But yes, there were a few people who could have prevented this problem, and only one who was ultimately responsible.
Really? Even if you just do calisthenics in your home, you still need the space, the free time, and the lack of distractions, not to mention being blessed with the focus to do something so boring.

I'm a pretty hardcore runner (but also hate buying unnecessary things) and spend thousands of dollars a year on shoes and shorts. I weigh 200 pounds and run 300km per month, shoes do not last, and good ones make a difference. And again, I'm only able to have the time to do it due to life circumstances that haven't burdened me with other responsibilities.

Most other sports have gear or memberships that make them more expensive. Many people can't stick to a regular workout regimen and a lot of people I know only were able to when they paid big bucks for a personal trainer.

Yeah, it's possible to work out without money, but I wouldn't pretend it's free, and it only gets easier with money.
Does anything similar exist in Python ecosystem?
That’s actually very interesting!

I just got done reading the Three-Body problem which is translated from Chinese and there was a very strong escapist narrative which felt very strange for a westerner reading it.

This actually adds a lot of context as I felt the book didn’t live up to the reviews but I felt all along that it was down to cultural differences and the translation to English.
Yes, I experienced this on mostly-meat diet -- much less urge to drink, and when I did drink, it wasn't nearly as much fun. Which was simultaneously nice & kind of a bummer. :-)
This reads like propaganda.

Cravings are temporary. If you voluntarily chose to stop eating certain foods for a few weeks, you will stop craving them. Brain learns there are other foods that satiate hunger, and whenever it feels peckish it will make you think of them instead.

So the good news is that the struggle is temporary. Bad news is that cheat meals reset your progress, especially cheat meals when you're hungry. And research suggests this is not related to how much you eat. A slice of pizza or a whole pizza, it's enough to make the brain remember that pizza is good when you're hungry.
All flight controls on the A330 are fly-by-wire - they're connected via computers. The most critical surfaces have secondary, dumb controllers that can take over if the primary flight computers fail, but less critical systems may not be connected to those backup systems - it's expected that a triple fault of the primary flight computers should be very rare, and manual braking is available as a backup after all.

I follow the readme of creating a seam so you get nice isolated class you can easily test. Then I would suggest to write a lot of tests, understand the code and then refactor and ensure your test still pass.

No need for a gem like this. As others point out for functional small pieces of code this might work but api endpoints I'll rather go with a "add tests" approach
