I started using a tool called Obsidian and making tasks for myself in todo list form interspaced into daily notes, it has worked so far for the last few months and I am able to prioritize better.

One particular incantation of this is I had something complex I wanted to create with a lot of dependencies and steps. I created a kanban style ticket board for myself and was very successful, essentially distilling todo lists into a scoped ticket, via obsidian. I was honestly a little blown away by the whole thing.

Basically the whole thing is integrated into Obsidian as plugins that I fold into my daily calendar and routine. Take notes in meetings or anytime I think of something, and in the middle of notes add a checkbox which gets populated on a master to do list tied to my calendar.
B2 costs me roughly 52 cents per month to backup 250GB of data. I'd say that if you have enough income to have an internet connection and generate enough data to want a cloud backup tool, it is effectively free.
How are the popular N95s with glasses?

I’ve settled on classic nurse masks for now because they seal well around the nose and dont cause my glasses to fog.
Trie to do this after about a year of learning programming which was probably too early in retrospect so I ended up kind of cargo culting it a bit and unable to boot. It would probably be more worthwhile for someone who knows something about the various tools and libraries.
Scientific American has been in decline since their 2003 hit pieces against environmentalist Bjorn Lomberg. All ad-hominem attacks, no science or logic.

Sadly this has infected other publications: Last week The Economist did not do an official obituary of E.O. Wilson, they did a drag queen instead. Wilson was relegated to a four paragraph notice in the science section.

Wilson was badly attacked by Marxists in the 1970's for his book on ants, Sociobiology.
If your glasses are fogging with an N95 then it definitely doesn’t fit properly.
I need todo lists - paper is usually enough, and easier, more in-my-face than any app can be. A single sheet on my desk.

I have about 20 to 30 things to do at work on any given day, a to-do list saves me from falling down the rabbit-hole of a single task.
Trashing old coworkers, assuming all the glory for team achievements - generally anything you observe directly or via personality assessment that runs counter to the ideal personality for the role and environment/culture.

There’s no need to measure anything. The problem with student loans is qualitative.

Banks are allowed to make unsecured loans and the borrowers can’t usefully declare bankruptcy. Colleges have every reason to raise prices and lenders have no skin in the game.

It isn’t any more complicated, and no amount of data analysis can possibly refute this.
No doubt it was traded along the remaining fragments of the Silk Road. Some routes persisted into the 1700s.
> it was pretty clear to me that there’s no good reason dealerships exist, as states could also make laws that covered the manufacturer.

How would that be the case? Let's say the manufacturer is in Oregon. Why would laws in California apply to them at all?

Funny. I've run into many more social norms that promote drinking while socializing, especially at universities and in tech.
Home Depot has them quite often, otherwise the only place I’ve ever found N95 is a small local hardware store.

KN95 can be found in Asian supermarkets quite frequently.
given the hysteric reaction of the American public to mask mandates I don't want to know what happens if the government tells people to shave. It sure does smell of politics but not from the CDCs side, they just have to make guidelines under consideration of how the public reacts

Within 10 minutes you'd probably have discrimination claims from angry hipsters, barbershops and a dozen different religious groups or something.

Yeah I know there's still some emergent game breakers in skyrim, but morrowind had more open ended tools with which to mess with the system.
I really don’t see the point unless you’re immune compromised or at some other high risk. Omicron is the evolutionary result you wait for, better at spreading and less health impact so it significantly outcompetes other variants (it has, something like 95% of infections). Peak omicron is coming withina master of days or already passed across the US. It’s virulence is such that you can only delay not expect to forever avoid or extinct the virus.

It’s time to admit defeat and plan for what that looks like and stop pretending like anything at this point is going to make this virus go away. It’s here, it’s going to kill about one person in a thousand of those left, and if you choose to not get vaccinated that’s your choice and if you’re not young you’re taking a significantly higher risk of death.

But unless you work in healthcare or care for the elderly you’re not going to do anything but slightly delay exposure to your neighbors because the new variant is so easily spread.

The moral issue is passed, the chance to save anyone but the most vulnerable is passed, and any efforts are only going to marginally delay the inevitable. You want to gamble and not get vaccinated, go for it.

People will be in denial about this for a long time and beating the morality drum for a long time, but in a hundred years a covid strain will still be around and people will be telling their children about how great grandpa got covid in 2020, like I just heard tell of my great grandfather getting the 1918 flu preparing to go out to WWI getting treated in a bed outside because there was no hospital space. That flu is still around this century and covid still will be next century.

Sorry, we lost, there are still going to be consequences but I can’t imagine anything changing regardless of what you do besides a matter of weeks of when you get exposed. Fauci said as much, that everyone being exposed was now more or less unavoidable.

If you disagree what long term changes do you think can be realistically achieved by doing anything whether or not it’s practical?

You can't really argue about backing anyone other than Trump, his presidency was a cess pool and almost ended the US as the oldest democracy in the world. They were just calling out fascism for what it is. There will always be a place for that in any magazine.
You’re right: We have limited time. Is a calendar necessary to consider that?

The way I see a calendar is for events that must happen at a specific time (appointments, birthdays, classes, etc.). To-dos may happen at any time. For example, I workout after lunch. But I don’t always eat lunch at the same time for the same duration. My workout may happen at 1pm or 3pm. Why do I need to schedule it at a fixed time?

Instead of scheduling todos, we could just timeblock them, and only allot N hours per day to tasks.
There are also cheap SDR transmitters:

https://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-fl2k/wiki (repurposing a USB-VGA dongle as analog source)

https://github.com/F5OEO/rpitx (repurposing bitbang/PWM GPIO; we had weird problems with data corruption when we were trying to use it as a radio modem, but maybe you will have more luck)

https://bellard.org/dvbt/ (repurposing standard VGA card, but it's probably not worth it since fl2k is way better)

(beware that low quality of the transmitter usually means it will cause interference with other stuff. However, all of these have such a low power that if you will not use an amplifier, it will be OK, the interference will be probably undetectable outside of the room where the transmitter is)

You see people getting paid 250k but don’t realize they’re paying at least 3500 a month on rent minimum (unless you wanna live with roommates forever). If they’re in California might as well halve that number due to taxes and ridiculously high fees like car registration and utilities.

Have you been to SF? If you want to live somewhere that your stuff isn’t stolen from your own property or want to deal with high crime, you need to pay up.
…I don’t have anything intelligible to say about them.

Two points on that discussion:

- AFAICT, the argument that a massive loan forgiveness would not be regressive rests entirely on excluding from the analysis low-income members of the 25-40yo cohort with no student debt. Sure, that fraction may be smaller than in the past, but it’s hard to see how discounting a bunch of poor folks who would see $0 benefit from this expenditure is intellectually honest.

- It’s amusing to see a left-wing analysis complain about policy benefits being described in absolute dollar amounts when it’s a doctor making $250k having $50k of his medical school loans forgiven. As I recall, every tax cut debate of the last 20 years has featured charts in absolute amounts showing the tens of thousands of dollars the average 1%’er would save, not the relatively small fraction of income that represented.
This is misleading / incomplete. Curviture in the time dimension is not enough to explain gravity. Gravity is caused by curviture in spacetime (4D). It's definitely not intuitive to think about the time dimension (and so makes for a good youtube video), but this "theory" you're talking about isn't anything that wasn't already known when GR was first introduce.

I'm not sure if you just meant GR and "accounts for some of gravity", but it's a common mistake I've seen people make after some youtube videos on the subject.

Try magnesium chloride daily. Morning and evening preferably.

NAC a couple of hours before your drinking escapade.

A five hour energy drink the morning after. The B’s + folate really help to feel”normal” the after.

Adult drinking is preparing for and mitigating the day after effects. :)

You made me think that young children do something like that too. When running away/playing they try to maximize the cost/effort of running away, not actual distance.

Like: zigzagging, passing under chairs or tables, climbing on something just to immediately climbing off. The problem is they usually maximize their effort, not yours in following them.

Nice, thanks :)
A big city (or at least 1M pop) makes it a lot easier though. Otherwise its long drives to every date, the other person is not sure because you are so far away etc. Small towns have a culture and its often “get married have kids is all there is to life”. If thats not you, you have to move. Sorry for the stereotypes but datings is where you need to discriminate!
> N95s aren't regulated for children, so if a mask says it's an N95 for kids, don't trust it.

This makes me think we're still floundering at the basic protections. Our kids' school in the Bay Area recommends N95s for kids which, if this statement is true, don't exist.

It hasn’t been “banks” for a decade: Student loans today are overwhelmingly supplied directly by the federal Department of Education. That’s why a huge jubilee is even plausible.
I bought then for about $1 in a 240 pack on Amazon. Plus Amazon takes FSA debit cards, so it’s a hassle-free, tax-free purchase.
If data showed that at regional state universities and community colleges the rise in tuition corresponded with the decrease in public funding per student then you wouldn’t believe it? Or that such data would mean nothing to you? Consider the linked article and keep in mind that enrollment in higher Ed has declined since 2008.

The Aura is, as other people have said in previous threads, the gold standard of N95 masks. I've been wearing them solely for the last 6 months or so, and they are great! They rarely fog my glasses, they are very comfortable, I'm not in any hurry to take them off when I'm done, especially if it's cold out.

The only downside is the straps: they both go behind your head, one high and one low. They take a bit to get used to, but you can't put them on with a hat on. But the plus is that they are very comfortable for the long term. Sometimes, with glasses, I have to take the glasses off to get the mask off.

The ones with the blue straps, the straps seem to deteriorate quickly if left in the sun, but I've only had a couple where the straps broke.

You can get them small quantity on ebay, and ebay seems to police the sellers, for around $2 each. You can also buy them direct from 3M for $1 in quantity 440, or at least you were able to 6 months ago when we last looked.

I would imagine, the “m2 fast” is visible more in reading medium sized files than 100k tiny reads (when recursively querying directories like this case GP is taking about)

To make GP’s use case better, FS really needs an custom index or require that every write also update all hierarchy. Unless of course they work like indexers and just work with delayed data
The thing is, while reliability of payment infrastructure matters, the UX and convenience of it does not as much - "everyday services" are not the core business of the banks (for ordinary individuals, mortgages and consumer loans is, for high net value, investments), they are pretty much a loss-leader that needs to exist but it's neither a major revenue maker nor a determining factor for customers - e.g. they will shop around for the mortagage, and if they get a good deal, they'll switch to another bank without even looking at how convenient their apps are.

Yes, there are some consumers for whom those everyday services are everything and they'll go to some 'app only' bank that does that well and without excessive fees. From the point of a traditional bank, that's not a problem, good riddance - if they don't use other products and aren't willing to pay excessive fees for everyday things, there's no money in having them as customers, and when they'll want to do something profitable (e.g. take a mortgage) they'll come back from that app-only bank as that product (the financial product, not the tech product) is actually competitive.

Note: this is from an EU viewpoint. USA may have a bit different perspective as the regulations there allow quite a lot revenue streams (e.g. bounced check fees) from people with no money and no other products, in EU much of exploitative payment practices have become restricted, so these customers simply become unprofitable and not really desired, the main value of "having them" is that this might help you sell profitable products to them later when they have more money and/or more plans for credit.
It's intense enough that Tesla has postponed repairs three times, and still hasn't fixed it. I have no doubt it will be fine once fixed. My point is that Yeala should just replace the brand new car with another one off the line and repair the defective one at their leisure. Or give her her money back like she asked for. At this point, she's owned the car for four weeks, and Tesla has had it for most of that time. And before that, she had a horrible experience.

> “It's also quite interesting that one of the motivations to simplify the writing system wasn't so much to make it easier to learn but rather to make it difficult to read pre-communist texts.”

This is straight out of Orwell’s “1984” where one of the functions of simplified Newspeak was to make old texts impossible to understand.

Since many of the themes in the book were based on Orwell’s encounters with 1930s Stalinism (e.g. “2+2=5” was an actual Soviet slogan), I wonder if Newspeak was partly based on the Soviet romanization efforts also mentioned in this New Yorker article. (Can’t read old religious texts if you change the alphabet)

The opinion piece in question (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-complicated-l...) strikes me as a restrained and sober attempt to explore the possibility that Wilson and others did bad science by presuming differences between races were due to genetics. Maybe you think the piece is wrong but it's just someone expressing some ideas, it's not intended to incite the woke mob or whatever. If anything, the OP seems to be trying to whip up a moral panic to suppress speech (i.e. to teach publishers that writing about race is toxic and dissuade them from publishing further opinion pieces examining race as a structural issue)

For me the problem with drinking is that it amplifies all of who I am and not really any of who I want to be. I'm a happy kind person so it makes me happier and kinder which is fine, but then I'm also a very lazy person so it just turns me into the worst junk food eating couch potato. Not to mention the hangovers give me the worst anxiety, waking up in the middle of the night heart racing feeling like I'm on the brink of death.

Alcohol tastes good and feels fun but it's just not worth the tradeoffs imo. Maybe when I'm a much older man I'll enjoy it a bit more regularly
I was lucky enough to once get quite a bit of black and white pepper from my friend’s spice estate in south India. The black pepper wasn’t considerably better than a good supermarket brand, but the white pepper was much better. Since it’s quite a common ingredient in South Indian cuisine, my family used it up in a couple of years. We usually end up hand pounding using a mortar and pestle.
Other countries may have not been dropping the ball on this quite so badly as ours.

Looking for stuff that's been okayed for kids in Korea has served me well. I got a crate of KF94s for my kids shipped. Of course, then it takes research and time to make sure you don't get ripped off with counterfeits and what have you.
Then you should've titled your article "What is it about roguelikes?", not attack the alleged misnaming of the genre which exists precisely to gatekeep a subculture that has a very clear origin point: Rogue. Another word for gatekeeping is curation. That's a good thing. We don't want a free-for-all no-rules anyone-can-call-their-game-whatever to draw attention to it.

I played Rogue around 1998. It was unique. When a game goes "I'm like Rogue", i.e. roguelike, I expect it to be like Rogue. I'm over ASCII art and like to play Civilization and Super Smash Bros, but none of these have anything to do with the naming of the genre that Rogue birthed. Cherry-picking gameplay elements, design mechanisms, or even feel from that genre does not automatically grant you right to start redefining a term that means something, even if you don't know what it means (and you clearly don't).

In summary, your original article would be received more positively by people like me if it said "let's invent a new name for a genre that covers some of the stuff about roguelikes and other games that fall within these parameters."

The Auras are great to wear but the straps on the 9205s really are flimsy and often fail after only a couple uses. 9210 is worthwhile if you can get them.
I trust Korean Supermarkets like hmart for kn95! But even still some I got were counterfeit after doing the candle test:

One tool is a candle test, where people put on a mask and try to blow out a lit candle. If the candle can be blown out while the mask is worn, it’s a likely indication that aerosols can go through, according to Aaron E. Glatt, MD, MACP, FIDSA, FSHEA, chair of the department of medicine and chief of infectious diseases at Mount Sinai South Nassau.

“If you can blow out a candle, that means that’s a relatively flimsy mask, it’s going to be a single ply, and it basically has holes in it," Glatt told Verywell. "If your breath can go through it, that means something else can come in as well."
Yep. Definitely. Especially now, as the pandemic rages on, why should one take on extra responsibility when they're stressed out? You'll wind up with a bunch of extra meetings, presentations, and bullshit you are able to do, but don't want to. Why bother? Some days I can barely get out of bed.

Another tactic that works wonderfully is pacing yourself. For engineers, if you finish your "sprint goals" early, you run the risk getting assigned more. So don't do that. Use that free time. Your work still gets done on time and everyone's happy.
There are no vaccines for those under five years old. It appears it’s too much effort for everyone wear a mask until we get a vaccine for all. I used to think that this was how most people thought and behaved, but now it is confirmed clearly for me.

My mother is a highly-functional alcoholic who, in her 60s, still drinks and smokes every day from 6pm to 1am, alone or socially, rain or shine - and she's done that for 30+ years. I'll spare you the gruesome anecdata that the habit produced over the years.

Being an alcoholic is a recipe for hurting people around you. It might not happen today or tomorrow, but sooner or later it will happen, whether you understand it or not. You might think you have a safe routine down, but you're likely oblivious to the human costs of that routine. As coping mechanisms go, it's an expensive and imprecise one. And it's definitely not cool.
