Many Japanese comics, stories, etc. showcase and celebrate the hero's trip from 0 to 1 on a scale of 100. I believe this is an Asian cultural thing, were struggle _matters_ and even little steps - sometimes invisible to others - are celebrated.

Most US based comics, movies, books, short-stories celebrate the hero's accomplishment _after_ the training period. The hero is already the _the best one around_ in whatever art/skill/etc. Sometimes it's a random event (spiderman, captain america, ironman) or the backstory is quickly brushed off (e.g. jack reacher, even Hiro Protagonist in Cryptonomicon to mention something more involved) in the past.

I believe this approach, gives instant gratification but creates that narrative that _things come for free_ and/or by _design_ (God, nature, randomness, whatever you wanna call it). Not saying one is necessarily better than the other, but IMO there's beauty in widely considered small wins as well, especially when they become consistent.

ps. A counter-example western Hero I can think is Harry Potter. There's too much shine there as well, but Harry ultimately acquires his skillset through struggle. Harry is not as proficient as others, but dealing with dangerous situations through the series grows into a formidable dueller.
The point of a signed timestamp (and/or challenge string) is that it demonstrates the signature is freshly generated, proof that the device is authentic right then and there. An old copied signature would not have this property.
my point isn't so much taxation on inheritance (although that is unfair too - step up etc...)

my point is that these trusts are specifically structure to prevent decendents from exiting their wealth. through poor risk taking, ineptitude, getting sued. nothing will affect the trust
I've noticed something similar, but I'm not sure if it's SEO spam so much as something that may have changed with their algorithm. I could swear that DDG used to strictly honor wrapping terms in quotes, but now it behaves extremely loosely with quotes, often returning things that contain nothing that was quoted without making it clear if it's doing that because it found no matches. Quotes are kind of a niche feature, but to me the change in behavior likely reflects something that affects all searches.
This is more of a broader question, but when is it a good time to buy an EV? As someone who just recently got a model Y, seeing reports like this just frustrate me. I thought about waiting until the rumored refresh but decided to go for it. Why get an EV if a newer one that's better in almost every way (range, cost, etc) is constantly just around the corner.

As an example, I'm not kicking myself when the "all-new redesigned" 2021 Hyundai Tuscon comes out because while the face lift is nice, the car isn't that much better than the 2020 version. It gets similar gas mileage and has similar features. Sure there's a few nice things on the newer Tuscon but half of them could be on the old one with a software update.
this is what i do, any public facing id - url, or js/html that would show an id would be a uuid and then the backend queries are done with primary keys / integers.
> Other nations would do well to follow Japan’s lead [...]. This policy appropriately places the responsibility for this healthcare decision with the individual or family.

I'm sorry, no.

This only works in countries like Japan.
No, results are definitely tanking.
Big momentum and opportunity for DDG now since we've seen many discussions around the decreasing quality of Google in the past week.

Back in 1998, Sergey Brin and Larry Page published a research paper that perfectly summarizes the conflict of interest between advertisers and search engines:

I remember that site and it was actually what I was expecting to see when I clicked on the OP! I feel like the version I remember stumbling across had smoking but no BMI but I can't corroborate it on archive.org

> Does BookStack index uploaded files for search? If so, what formats does it support?

No, unfortunately not. You can attach files but we only support indexing (And parsing) of core page content. Indexing other formats opens up a large branch of maintenance while adding potential confusion in the platform in regards to what's considered content.

> Can pages (or books) be exported in common formats?

Yeah, Both can be exported as plaintext, markdown, contained-html or PDF. The PDF export can be troublesome but works for most simple use-cases.

> Any plans to support Postgres in the future?

Not in sight for the near future. I'm not closed off to it but there are questions of support and maintainership. My detailed thoughts on additional database support can be found here: https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/76#issuecom...
> one of the strongest type systems available.

This is simply not true - Python with mypy isn’t even as strong as Typescript, let alone Rust, F#, Haskell and so forth.
This is fucking amazing! Well done!!!!!

Looks like a good way to find great sunset spots
FYI, I questioned the veracity of those comments and never got a reply from the throwaway accounts that were used to post them. Check out my comment history trying to get to the bottom of those claims of evil EInk corporation holding back all of electrophoretic display tech. My opinion is that they're false.

> I see stuff like this and can only dream the breakthroughs on the horizon (and yes, BMW signed a deal with E-Ink for this) when the parents start expiring

What basis do your dreams have? Which patent or patents do you think is blocking something and what breakthrough is it you're specifically thinking about?

See my comment history. I work in the display industry. What is actually holding back the tech is rheology physics and simple lack of investment. Electrophoretics is by its inherent physics always going to have to be slow to achieve bistability. Find me a VC who'll invest billions in a new display tech versus internet services/ML/AI/etc.
A US congresswoman was carjacked last week in Philly
It's not a "risk". It is a situation implied by the capabilities of a technology, with straightforward market incentives that will make that situation highly relevant. Your position is akin to asserting that a large asteroid headed directly at earth is merely a "risk" without any specific argument for why the projections are wrong.

And unlike abstractly debating this stuff in the early 2000's, we have already seen what has occurred with platform signing keys! Increasingly locked down proprietary OS's, arbitrary top-down restrictions on what software can be run, and everpresent centralized control. All in the name of "security" which really means corporate predictability (aka "authoritarianism"). So really your comment is like another asteroid has already hit and obliterated the moon, as was predicted by the same projections, and yet you're still treating the straightforward implication as a hypothetical.

And was your response to my example supposed to be a counterargument? I don't see how general VMs would ever be allowed [0]. But sure assuming they are, go through and replace "VM" with "non signed OS" if you'd like. So I'm supposed to buy and setup MS Windows [1] to access an online bank - simply to appease some out of touch risk assessor?

[0] it would mean verifying arbitrary dom0 OS's (eg NixOS) and arbitrary hypervisors (eg libvirt+kvm)

[1] for which my current security policy is to disallow it from connecting to the Internet after it has touched any personal information
same, but lately been I've doing technical searches on you.com
Interesting graph.

In my company's anecdotal experience DDG referrals have been historically flat. They went up a little bit around 1 year ago, then settled back down to their consistent (and relatively small) production. They rank 12th in our list of referrals, or 0.24% of total.

Bing is 2%.

Google is 47%.

(Good ol' Yahoo is 2x DDG)
During the first dot com bubble, dress code at Goldman was still (non-casual) business. This lead to the absurd situation that teams on the West Coast came to the office in a suit and tie, would then change into slacks and hoodie to meet with tech bro startup clients, and then change back into the suit at the office.

Around 2000 or so GS relaxed the dress code, and, to compete better with tech in hiring, even put a foosball table somewhere in their NY headquarters on 85 Broad Street. Then the dot com bubble burst, and the foosball table was gone rather quickly.
Same with WFH during the pandemic. My sleep quality was incredible and quality of life was through the roof.

My @sshole boss plucked us all back into the office just before Xmas and I'm back where I started.

Note: if you're a boss and hate your staff being WFH, some of us hate you right back and will be looking for a new job. Factor that into your bullsh!t policies and untrustworthiness.

(Yes, I've had a bad week).

Cybernetic implants into the mind are in their infant stage. We have electrical and magnetic stimulation treatments being tried all around our healthcare system, but these are to modulate the brain and help it normalize for dementia, depression, etc.

The best practical way to achieve your end? Reform education. We are forced to learn so much useless, outdated, opinionated information in the 20 years of mental training we call education. Let people begin apprenticeships very early on, let them try actual jobs and tasks, not just tests.

A low tech noninvasive way? Phones. If our phones downloaded all the data they needed, theoretically they could make our decisions for us. We'd never need to know things as long as the phone can communicate precisely what to do, without the costly why.

Obviously, I wouldn't sign up for the latter unless it became necessary to stay relevant. I don't like the privacy and freedom implications of a device with all the "right answers".
Brave search has been my default since it debuted. It's fine for me 90% of the time. Google still completely rules image search, but for normal queries Brave does the job.
It’s not because you’re older or because of fads, it’s because you don’t message anyone outside of the US.
Excellent source. Also mentions persistence of high social status in the UK for eight (!!!) generations, and same in post-Mao China.

Wish there would be more research into this.
Pretty epic feat of engineering! If this technology spreads I wonder what will happen in countries like Germany where car manufacturing employs a huge swath of the population.

Already with electric cars we have way fewer moving parts, now also the assembly line can be drastically reduced. I am curious to see what will happen in such places.
Only if you are creating persistent objects in multiple places that may not be in communication with one another, and that at some point need to be distinguished from each other, do you need UUIDs.

Even in mobile apps, which seem like the most common use case for needing them: Unless your app creates these objects while not connected, you don't need UUIDs.

If your backend database is where objects get created, you don't need UUIDs.

Fibonacci is the poster child of hotspots. A JIT should be crushing an interpreter at Fibonacci as it is simple to generate good code for. Yes, it's just a microbenchmark; so you shouldn't make SPEC type conclusions from it. But you shouldn't dismiss it either.

I started using DDG around 2011. The progress they made is nothing short of incredible. I've completely switched to them around 2015 or so. I've used Google exactly twice last year. I'm curious what kind of queries yield you 30% garbage results?
I’ve been having better results with searx than ddg for the past month or two. Especially because ddg seemed to have forgotten what to do with quoted text.
What a load of crap writing. Just idiotic.

Is this a major news site, or someone’s first blog post?

Surely the writer could do better, and surely the editor could’ve insisted on it.
I'm specifically not and as an aside I don't look like a fitness influencer either. I'm absolutely saying his goals are not the same as mine as I am literally saying losing weight shouldn't be the end all, be all goal. It should be having a good amount of muscle. The photo I posted makes me think that this guy is just skinny fat, which is what happens when champion diet over exercise.
The issue here is you keep creating AppleIDs. You should have only one or two and use them on your respective personal and work devices. With 2FA you really need to have more than one trusted device or you can easily lose access and have to go through the account recovery process which can take a while.
what's the minimum amount of wealth do you think they are targeting in the article?
Its how it worked in the Weimar Republic in the 1920s, in Argentina in the 1980s, Zimbabwe after 2011, and in Venezuela in recent years.

Especially if you look at bond market yield curves going negative, and consider that massively indebted governments don't have any politically viable options to solve their debt problem other than default through massive inflation.

It could totally happen. Governments don't have a good option.
I'd separate the year and month and make the year controls visible.

Swagger UI, it's more of a route that serves a webpage, but embeddable in your server code
If you were so tired, why couldn't you just sleep earlier at night? If I'm remembering my own teen years correctly, most of us chose to stay up late not because we couldn't sleep, but because we just wanted to, sleep be damned.

Everyone complains about having to get up early, but the sleep deprivation is self inflicted. If you're tired, you can sleep at 9pm.
The irony of complaining about demonisation while demonising a diverse group of more than a billion people of different races and cultures based on some twitter or reddit posts, what a joke. Furthermore it's only freedom of speech when minorities are also able to speak their minds freely otherwise it just becomes a tool of tyranny by which the majority can legally bully and harass the minority.

Treating millions of jews as a 'monolithic' group in order to discriminate against them was the beginning of something very disturbing, something which you probably missed in history class.
You have to decouple the purchase from the potential future, just like we used to do in the late 90s/early 2000s with computers.

So when it comes time, evaluate what is available and make a decision then - it's unlikely something comes out that makes all previous ones stop working after all.

And you do get the utility during that time.

If you're really concerned, look into leasing; they usually have a buyout option at the end.

You're absolutely right, I missed entering the day of the month. Year + Month was not enough.

Easy bug to fix? LASt the very least I expect it to pick some arbitrary day of the month I enter.

I should tell my dad though that he is has about 13 weeks left to live. (Or should?)
No, but a philosophical argument that showed how it was impossible would be almost as useful. You can just give someone a magic feather and let them believe they have become something, which is sufficient for many purposes.

Remember that in the Matrix story, a world in which they could download skills from the simulation and instantly become things by essentially just imagining them, so long as they stayed within its confines - was the world they were trying to escape. If you tell a 5yr old that their crayon drawing is beautiful, they become an artist, and for most people, that pattern doesn't change for the rest of their lives unless they become disillusioned and pursue their destiny as an existential hero.

Maybe there could be some neural interface that lets you transmit and replay brain activity through other bodies faster than language does now, or muscular electrostimulation that simulates say, deadlifting, but just as having a music collection doesn't make you a musician, I'm with Feynman in that I don't think we understand what we don't ourselves create.
Mediawiki is page focused, needing a lot of tweaking to make it act like something other than a completely open public page editor. Trying to collect pages is annoying ugly; about the best you can do is with "categories." Mediawiki tries to do too much with document metatags and whatnot. Mediawiki is ugly/outdated looking (IMHO) and requires lots of php config file editing.

Bookstack has a lot more inherent document organization stuff (ie: books>chapters>pages etc), it's easy as hell to administer, and it looks gorgeous out of the box.
Couldn't they just buy the data from companies that scrape it and sell access more discretely?
Hopefully these huge casts can be recycled and recast. If so, they don’t seem terribly wasteful. I’d also hope that minor repair of the cast part is possible for the smallest dents. I’m not an expert in this area.

Some time ago I was trying to transition to platform to help me capture my own personal notes and organise my knowledge. BookStack was a good front runner, but I think the lack of mobile editing along with the hassle of upgrades made me end up using Notion.

Now by all means notion isn't perfect at all, but for me who just wanted to start writing notes it seems the right choice at the time.

I would like to switch to BookStack as it looks great and is a great product, but the one issue that worries me is when it comes to upgrades and migrations. Generally I found when upgrading database based platforms I end up messing up hugely causing myself a huge headache, and then eventually not upgrading at all. For example I used Monica CRM, and totally botched the upgrades eventually just closing it down and using Google contacts instead.

If there was an easy way to solve for that I'd definitely be on board with self-hosting it myself. But at the moment I just don't have the time to resolve upgrade issues :(
There shouldn't have to be a workaround. This should simply be the default.

It's supposed to work in America, one of the freest countries in the world that prides itself in personal liberty. After all, it's a country where anyone can say just about anything and also carry a gun. (If we fix our stance on drugs, stop interfering with women's rights, and get our policing in check, we'll be pretty much on track for being a perfect place for the individualist.)

The far left and far right are both out of balance, and social media has fed a radicalization of both sides.

I'm a liberal, but there's a disease in the left right now where many think that censorship is a good thing and that individual liberty should be suppressed for the greater whole. While it's great to imagine the outcomes for your world view, these new powers will not be used in the ways you anticipate. When the next political party comes to bat, they'll use your newfound disregard for liberty to strip you of yours.

I'm pro-vaccination, but the way far left liberals are talking to conservatives is not going to win any allies. You're mocking their dead and calling for them to all lose their jobs. It's like Richard Dawkins trying to convert religious folks to atheism - do you seriously think this approach is going to work? These are supposed to be your neighbors. Please learn how to talk to them as human beings without sounding superior.

We need to do some serious soul searching. We have to stop hating each other and turning literally everything into a political matter. We're not all that different for fuck's sake.
That's great, hope it works out well for you!
Every media source is pushing the natural immunity agenda
If your car is newish (under 8 years and under 100K miles), you can pretty safely ignore any routine oil checking and just change it every year or ~12K miles. At some oil change, the mechanic will tell you [or you will see] that you have an oil leak or consumption issue and should then start checking it more often. A newer car will use way under a half-quart of oil in 10K miles, which can be ignored entirely.

I change the oil on our CR-V every year (about 5-6K miles) and because it’s 17 years and 225K miles old it uses some oil, which I top up twice between annual changes.

The amount of oil changing done in the US is indeed excessive and driven by promoting the practice to consumers who, in general, couldn’t find their oil filter nor explain the function of oil and oil filtration, and can only judge based on what everyone is doing and whether they can afford it. The little reminder stickers to bring your car back in 3K (yes!) miles are a critical business supply for an oil change franchise.
Setting this up sounds like a tremendous waste of time while DDG has already setup all the bangs for me.
> Stupid condescending article

Don’t mistake a ‘here’s the trick’ with ‘it’s so easy’, the article wasn’t claiming it’s easy. And don’t take advice as a personal affront.

The true and valid point this article is making is that changing a behavior is a mental game you play with your mind, not a physical one, and that “willpower” and “discipline” doesn’t work before fully convincing yourself of your goals. You have to figure out how to truly convince yourself the old behavior isn’t what you want, and the new behavior is your goal. Not in a contradicting yourself kind of way, but in a deep and true believe it with your whole body way. I think you’re actually making the exact same point underneath your disagreement, that focusing on quitting is too hard, and there’s more to it.
Are there really 4B frameworks or large software projects out there?

I'd argue that simply doing that for the top 10 programming languages or frameworks will make a huge difference and is relatively easy to do. Low effort but very high impact.
