I bought a burrito during lockdown in the UK, but it was such a miserable experience.

The menu wasn’t particularly intuitive, and took me a few minutes to pick out what I wanted — then I was greeted with a registration page. Email, password, phone, address, you name it, they wanted _everything_ — I only wanted to collect. They didn’t take mobile wallet payments either! Manual card entry!

I feel like the restaurant recognised they had a problem, but contracted out a solution to the lowest bidder that actively went out of their way to design the worst UX.

In the end I actually went ahead and built a platform that’s not user hostile.

Im going to rewrite the landing page and do another round of marketing soon. The page that I wrote in an afternoon is far too negative in hindsight. It needs a positive spin.

I have only ever encountered this issue with Uber actually, not DoorDash. And I am talking about Pickup here anyway.
Reading this doc it feels like the Prettier team is saying options like tabs/spaces were only added early on to get initial adoption, if it were up to them now there would be far less options to configure at all.
Apps and OSes shouldn't (and don't need to) make their security dependent on the web PKI. Linux distros come with their own public keys, for example, which are used to check the signatures on package updates.

Things have got a bit worse recently, with the Google Play Store requiring app developers to let it build and sign the packages itself[0], but I suppose the argument is that if you don't trust Alphabet with the app signing keys, you shouldn't trust it with the signing keys for the OS updates you download.

(If your Android updates are signed by keys controlled by an entity other than Alphabet, then you can presumably use an alternative app repo too).

Most of the comments here are focused on the question of why you would prefer an app to calling. The author's point is a great one though, and something I've wondered a lot. Why should I create an account to order a pizza? The app should reduce friction even from the very first order. Instead it adds, and adds for every order... Got to go look up coupon codes! On the phone I just ask the guy what their best deal is in a large cheese and garlic knots and he gives it to me. The app or website should make my life better but instead it's harder.

Worse, the app pretends to be an unrelated party when something goes wrong. "Sorry, you need to call the store. Look up their number, it's on the website." For me it doesn't add anything to the transaction, it only takes away.

The literal only reason I use the pizza app at all is for chains where I have no idea which store delivers to me. Rest of the time I've gone back to calling. Much faster that way.
A charge lasts me about a month of all day use, so this is still a non issue for me. Let's see how long until the battery becomes weaker. Enjoyed working with the mouse for a year so far.

I really like pobox.net. They handle storing and forwarding email for my domain. I forward from my domain to a regular Gmail account and primarily use Superhuman as my interface to Gmail.

If Gmail ever goes away or I want to switch services I can just point pobox (and thus my domain) at another service, or use pobox directly.
I bet this objectively can't be helped.

Nuance requires representing uncertainty and is higher complexity from accounting for multiple special cases. Placing more cognitive load and attentional demands on receiver.

Human communication is lossy and decoding can be non-trivial inference. Given that everyone comes with differing priors, the more finer grained and complex details are required in reconstructing message intent, the more likely it is to be misconstruected. Failing to attend to a single core detail can rend meaning.

At scale the chance for errors to propagate without correction increases.

Getting rid of fine grained details and communicating a lower entropy message inline with a crowd's biases also ensures it's more likely to survive in a form close to original intent. A good manipulative orator focuses less on truth or content and more on minimizing mismatch between receiver mental states and orator's directional preferences.
Oh, thanks! That is exactly what I wanted; a global constant makes more sense for this use-case.
Hey thanks, glad you like these projects! Yeah you're right I was only looking at uncompressed size, add in some gzip and actual size through the network is even smaller.

Also glad you like humble, it's one of those side projects I get a lot of enjoyment out of developing and that I can get pretty creative with. You can do some interesting optimizations and modifications when the entire state of a web page is known in advance, and it's fun to look at some of these edge cases.

Metabolically, fruit is not very different from “sugar sweetened foods and beverages” (and imho gram for gram, fructose is worse than sucrose). The same goes for whole grains.

Fat is the most calorie dense nutrient. The human race has spent a majority of its time just trying to stay alive. Up until very recently, this meant eating substantial quantities of fat, and specifically animal fat.

Harvard Medical is part of the problem. People stop getting published if you’re contra-establishment, which means you stop getting juicy grants and donations.

I had ReLex SMILE done 4 years ago. Total costs were around $5k. Easily one of the best decisions of my life. I score the absolute maximum on the tests, there were no complications and it only took a couple days to heal. I actually took the bus back to my apartment after the surgery by myself.

I know that outcomes vary but for me by now I don't actually remember what it was to be shortsighted and all outdoor activities are soo much nicer without contacts or glasses. I'd definitely do it again in a heartbeat.

My employer gave me one of these when I started, and I couldn't stand it. Not just because it kept running out of battery at the least convenient time, but also because the touch scrolling was leaving my fingers feeling strained by the end of the day. I got them to replace it with a generic $10 wired mouse and I'm much happier.
I used to hate dominoes but at some point they changed their recipe. It’s ok pizza now as far as big chain pizza goes.

> A "pre-programmed death" mechanism would be consistent with this.

We haven't found this mechanism in humans. Cancer and heart disease simply don't impact child rearing.

It requires a great deal of optimization to rejuvenate cells after injury and simultaneously tamp down on uncontrolled proliferation (cancer). It's an extremely complex system. The evolutionary gradient to optimize this is probably steep, and we haven't climbed it since our form is more than good enough. (There are billions of us.)

People cite tortoises, but these animals have a slow metabolism. They don't eat a wide variety of things. They don't have many enemies. They're not burning very fast.

We're not comparable.

Isn't this a contradiction?
The tl;dr (and blunt truth) is that Linux doesn't implement POSIX's semantics of fsync() correctly. The standard says "the fsync() function is intended to assure that after a system crash or other failure that all data up to the time of the fsync() call is recorded on the disk". Instead, Linux merely provides this guarantee for "all data since the last* call to fsync(), whether successful or not", which means data that failed to flush once will continue to fail to get flushed on subsequent calls to fsync(). But nobody I've seen has been willing to admit this is a broken implementation yet. People instead go through extreme contortions to justify the status quo, blaming Postgres for not using a broken fsync() "correctly".

Given how it took some 2 decades for Linux folks to change their minds on other issues, like realizing the notion of a pidfd is a useful one, I'm guessing they might eventually get around to this too, but it might take another couple of decades for views to change.
FWIU flax and hemp are more sustainable and potential substitutes for carbon fiber, which is industrially hazardous to produce?

The branching structure makes e.g. hemp bast fiber ideal for supercapacitor (~battery) anodes. How does this plant-based epoxy affect conductivity and resistivity in various materials in various outdoor conditions with and without a coating?

If it's plant-based, is it safe next to plenum cable? Can it be used for Hemp structural framing lumber, such as HempWood?
The biggest issue with phone call pizza ordering is currently that many places are still curbside pickup. I don't like giving my credit card over the phone, so an app is better.
> but it just isn't, and I can say that from personal experience

Do you think you’re not on a forum filled with high income earners who also have personal experience with this?

It’s telling that you both assert that you would accept the job for the money and that the money would have almost no impact. Either you don’t actually believe what you say or you’re admitting that you’re not rational.

> 50k post tax is not enough for someone currently maxing out their "retirement" to "nearly double their retirement investment, that isn't correct.

Define maxing out, then. Max 401k plus mega backdoor is about 65k, I believe. Another 50k would indeed be nearly double. (65k is also what this person would actually take home from a 100k raise, assuming filing single, depending on state income tax of course.)

> The point is, after a certain absolute dollar number, additional dollars are incrementally less valuable

No one has said otherwise. Literally every dollar has declining utility so this doesn’t provide the support for your argument that you imagine. There’s no “dollar value cliff” at 300k.

> Even if it allows you to retire meaningfully earlier, so what? Dying at 65 because you were stressed is definitely not worth it.

You’ve gone from “it won’t affect retirement” to “money can’t buy happiness” to “gonna die from the stress”. This all seems really fake given that not only have you wildly diverged from your original claim that it won’t allow one to retire earlier, but also because you said you would accept the promotion.

I’m certainly not saying anyone should take the 100k raise and the responsibility that comes with it if they don’t need/want the money or they do not want the job change it brings. I’m just saying 100k raise is a lot of money for someone currently making 300k. For a lot of people at this level, another 100k would mean their spouse could stop working.

No idea why the author had to make such a silly strawman to make such a cynical take about technology. Most of the pizza spots in my area have online websites that dump orders directly to the business. My partner and I frequently use that to order, and while we rarely do delivery, it's been unproblematic the few times we have ordered delivery.
Bernstein is generally careful to make only claims that he knows to be correct.

Presumably Peikert will see this post and will either not respond publicly, or respond. If he responds publicly he will either deny or affirm Bernstein's claims. If he does not respond, he is being consciously and deliberately deceptive. If he affirms Bernstein's claims, he was being consciously and deliberately deceptive in the past. If he denies Bernstein's claims, then either they are correct or not. If they are correct, then his denial is just more of the kind of deception Bernstein caught him at. If they are incorrect, then Bernstein is the one at fault.

Because then the menu wouldn't be readable, searchable, or adaptable by many people, including blind, low vision or dyslexic users. Meanwhile, the people who could read it could type any old freeform nonsense into the box... nobody has to care about spelling on a phonecall or proper ordering system.

This seems in contradiction with what the article says:

Not the answer many people would be looking for, but for me in my post-school life, church has been the main source of friends and acquaintances who are not related in some way shape or form to the tech industry. It’s also where I ended up meeting my wife.

Not sure if it is coincidental, but the churches I’ve attended have also been the only social circles I’ve been involved with that had a distinct lack of tech industry people. However this is in the NYC area, I can’t speak for somewhere like SFBA where I can imagine so many people are somehow connected to the tech industry.
> And that's probably what makes Python so popular, and so great. I get it.

I don't follow because that's actually a problem. Imagine having to install Haskell compiler -- exactly one particular version of it with the exact right combination of flags (and there are hundreds of them) -- for each project... while also having the whole thing kind of compile from source.

And that for people who just want to do something like `brew install a_valuable_tool` and have no patience (and certainly not the time) to tinker with Python's dev environment just so they can install a tool they need.

So maybe I am misunderstanding but no, that's not what makes Python popular or great, at all. It makes it a legendary pain for anyone who doesn't code it every day.

If I can't do `brew install your_tool` but have to fiddle with the intricacies of your language's ecosystem then you have failed as a tool author.

Contrast this with Golang tools (disclaimer: I dislike Golang) which in the worst case scenario involve 1-2 commands to download and compile+install the tool but usually don't involve even that because Golang's process is self-contained and that makes it super easy for all package managers to distribute it pre-compiled for their platform.

I appreciate the sentiment and the enthusiam, however I am skeptical. I was born, raised, and went to school in west virginia. Bernie might win the democratic primary against Hillary Clinton or Obama but he stands no chance in the general election. The socialism is a bridge too far. Its why Manchin is acting like he is. Though I'm no fan of Manchin for local and personal reasons that go deeper than current national politics. His uncle was sleazy and so are him and his daughter (who have already survived scandal).

Fun story: One of my friends had a photo with Manchin once when he was governor, he literally picked her up and placed her somewhere else like a child. The dude sucks.

I for one, was a heavy meat eater for much my life. Going pescatarian (kinda, I really just do fish oil and maybe fish as a dish once a month) recently lead a huge quality of life for myself. Really though, anecdotes are nearly completely worthless.

All other health issues with meat aside, a fully meat diet is going to load you with iron, and iron is a vigorous initiator of free radical oxidations, and high iron is associated with early dementia. Iron is also super hard to remove the body. If I ate an all meat I would watch my iron closely and perhaps donate blood as often as possible. And if you combine lots of meat with junk carbs, then that is most destructive diet possible.
