Many MacOS users (and some Windows users) may not know this, but f.lux supports auto-adjusting the color/brightness of Hue bulbs [1], so that your home lights also match your screen.

I installed Hue bulbs in my home office for this reason, which keeps my lights at a nice energizing color during the day, then warms up during sunset (especially useful during the winter Standard time).

Unfortunately I’m not aware of similar support for MacOS at this time, but maybe others know of options there.

Everyone is different. Here is what worked (and continues to work for me personaly):

1. Realize that losing weight is not about biology, it is psychology. So...

2. Log everything you eat. Accountability is important.

3. Step on the scale once a week, so you can spot trends.

4. Do a little exercise every day, because it sets the right
mood.

5. Eat only when you are actually hungry, then eat only enough so you are not hungry. Learn to recognize the difference between an empty stomach and actual hunger.

6. Plan for failure, and how you will cope. Because you will.

7. Be careful taking other people's advice ;-). Since this is a psychological game, the strategy will need to be tailored to you.

8. Don't do anything you can't do every day, forever. Don't lose weight with a goal, or a target date, or anything like that. You don't gain weight at 100 pounds a year, don't try to lose it that fast. 100 calories a day adds up fast.

Fully animated actors can play just as effective and convincing as flesh-and-blood actors, as shown by Disney or Pixar. But is also requires immense amounts ow works and talent - neither which is cheap.

Star Wars certainly didn't use deepfakes because they though it was cheaper or easier.
How does reducing the already limited supply even further, drive prices down? I always thought that when demand is high and supply is low, prices go up?
Don't eat later in the day, after 8pm if you can, definitely skip after 9pm. The reason is that you won't be able to use the extra energy before sleeping. So it will be stored as fat.
Remember that calorie counts on nutrition labels are often inaccurate (by as much as 20-30%). In particular, they are systematically biased against unprocessed food, meaning that highly processed foods look better by comparison.

Curious if it's exploitable.
You still need people who can act. Someone has to make the characters act, and you don't want it to suck, so somebody needs to be skilled at acting, even if they don't end up doing the physical acting.

But more to the point, there is no need for constant deepfakes. You can just get regular people to act in your movie. Some movies might need deepfakes for the same reason that animes are really popular. But there's plenty of movies that would not benefit from deepfakes at all.

I'm consistently impressed and grateful that we live in times where we have the science to understand these relatively unimportant but very interesting facts about the world.

Soviet Union had relatively good infrared optics. I guess Russia missed even that ability. But then the parallel answer with twitter link described why this happened perfectly.
Precisely. I seek out native Mac apps and actively avoid cross-platform junk, since it is slower and more bloated, and doesn’t match the native UI (though Apple itself breaks its own conventions these days).

So this is a major selling feature!
It's the second hand market that will be most affected by increased fuel prices. Assuming 18% depreciation a year that car will be $22K for the next owner. Then that extra $1,600 per month becomes more significant.

Great question! Kable is integrated with Stripe directly, so the migration from Stripe subscriptions to Kable is easy. We use Stripe Connect, so invoices generated on Kable reach your customers at their same payment method on file through your Stripe account.
here's the thing

It seems that health span and lifespan are not the same goal. Maintaining muscle mass is good, even great, to a point. Especially for the eldery who need to prevent falls.

But the process that helps us grow muscles (IGF-1/mTor) is also the same pathways that makes us grow cancer.

Low protein intake is both correlated in large population studies with longevity. It's also seen in animal studies as well.

High protein is great for reproductive health, glowing skin, building muscle, hell - probably even mood and cognition.
>Inflation severely disincentivizes savings and rewards consumption.

Good. We've been suffering from deflationary policies that led to demand shortages and low productivity growth since the 1980s. There's a healthy balance, but ultimately there's no moral virtue in economic austerity.
I read an interview where the website maintainer said they create the tables manually in HTML, but I’m not sure if that’s still the case.

As I wrote above, I build a bunch of converters. If PNG to PDF has no use for you, then maybe heic to jpg, or tiff to png, or webp to jpg?
If you already have a quick and good solution for all of these (or you never need to convert in any of those ways), then that's fine too.
"Blackrock and other parasites"

A large landlord is not a "parasite". He makes money by fulfilling a vital need for housing. Blame housing regulation, not landlords, for high rents and home prices.
Haven't heard of it (new to iOS). Looks fine, although at home I have DNS ad blocking, and I'm not sure how the auto-clicking feature works. I wouldn't want to automatically accept all cookies; I always manually reject everything, and until now I thought that wasn't possible automatically (it's very heterogeneous).
For behavioral changes keep in mind that establishing a new habit takes 20+ days.

Intermittent failure is fine - it’s better to go 20 days at 90% consistent than 7 days at 100% consistent. Persistence is key.
If the period of inflation is long enough, that statement is true.

I'm from Argentina. Inflation is deeply rooted in our local economics and most people treat it as a lifelong "companion".
I find it useful to think of those as just different kinds of people.

In high school, a friend of mine had an exchange student. My friend's family were all naturally thin. They were truly surprised that once a package of something sweet was open, the exchange student would return at regular intervals to have some until it was all gone. They weren't being tough or anything; they just didn't experience the cravings.

I am like the exchange student. So as much as possible, I just don't keep that stuff around.

Yeah... it's probably better to show a link saying "we downranked [...], click here to uncensor".

I think in this particular case it's a good thing as is, but next time I might not think that, and I'd rather have the "full shebang" available too.

Though, from a philosophical point of view, search engines are supposed to find us "good" content. They try to guess our intentions and serve up the stuff we should see. In this is a massive implication that search engines already make a lot of judgment calls; just usually along less identifiable features. Here they're explicitly crafting a feature called "disinformation" and downgrading on that basis. But otherwise, is it so different to rating based on other arbitrary criteria that we don't even have any insight into?
There's a subplot in The Newsroom where a producer edits an interviewee out of context, leading to the network broadcasting false accusations of serious war crimes.

On the IntoIterator topic: I do think it was a mistake to `impl IntoIterator for &[mut] T` for the collections. I think it would have been better to just standardize on `.iter[_mut]()` instead. Would have avoided the whole "IntoIterator for arrays" issue and would be more explicit.

Author here: I haven't written any Zig, but I've read a little bit about `comptime` (which I thought was very cool).

I like compile-time programming, but I also recognize that it's programmer catnip: we love it because it lets us be clever, including in ways that aren't conducive to maintainability. That's a big part of why I like Crystal's macro system: I think it does a good job of balancing readability, expressivity, but also constraining the programmer away from compile-time gymnastics.

But like I said, I have no Zig experience, so it's very possible that Zig has much better ergonomics than I'm afraid of!
Changing the Earth's albedo at the surface would be more controllable than pumping a bunch of particulate matter into the atmosphere. Probably a lot more expensive as well but the tradeoff is worth it since it would allow you to quickly undo it or modify it if things go badly.

Not really.

The point is this, the whole blue light business popped up because the people who were doing the studies forgot that amber dusks are fairly rare outside of cities/equator.

Those of us nearer the poles have long, blue evenings. Yes, in march and august we tend to have brilliant orange sunsets. However those are the exceptions, not the rule. If you look at the colour temperature from noon till actual dusk, you'll see that it increases as time goes on.

pinning screen colour on the quality of sleep is a fools errand. We do not look at a screen for it's colour we look at for its content. That content has a much great effect on our sleep than the screen brightness and colour temperature.

TLDR: twilight is blue, not orange. Colour temperature and sleep quality is not convincingly linked.

Funny to see this on the homepage today. Part 1 was done so long ago now that looking back on that code is equal parts intimidating and embarrassing.

Thanks for the link. That explains a lot. Mafia state and high tech at scale cannot be compatible indeed.
The size is so small. Does it use system Webkit or just a launcher/downloader?

IMO if any of these weight loss hacks actually worked, we'd know it. Eat less and moderate exercise is still the best way to go.

Some ideas (pick any or all):

Buy fruit or veggies when you have cravings.

Don't buy much junk food. If you do buy junk food, don't buy your favorite stuff. For example, if you like chocolate, buy the "ok" chocolate, not the "damn this is great!" chocolate. Same with chips. For the double hack, just buy the "what's on sale," in this category.

Don't buy food you don't have to "fix," particularly junk food.

Exercise every day. It can be as simple as walk for 5-10 minutes or do body weight squats or jumping jacks. If you can only do 5 minutes, that's better than nothing. Committing to 5 minutes is easier than committing to 30. Once you start the 5 minutes, chances are you'll do more. For example, I commit to walking to the closest park. It's probably 7 minutes there and back. If I really don't feel like doing more, I don't. Most of the times I end up doing a couple miles. It's a leisurely walk.

Keep at it, that's the important part. Make the starting changes so easy it's manageable. Once you adapt to your minor change, add another change. When you feel weak willed due to a stressful event, go back a step rather than removing all steps.
Also there is C++/CX (which is C++ interop with the WinRT runtime on Windows).
>Funny you should mention housing, as the housing market predictably crashed in 2008 (Ron Paul called it quite well, as did those who bet against the market). It will happen again as many of the same mistakes have been made. Even without derivatives on property, or even the easy lending, people have been taking massive loans due to interest rates, and this has driven a dramatic rise in housing costs. As more and more people are priced out, and rents continue to increase the potential buying/renting pool shrinks which will eventually cause another crash even if nothing else does.

If you want to avoid housing bubbles and crashes, you have to legalize building more houses.
We are building a VR fitness game [1] with Godot and are working towards a store release in the Meta store.
Also Meta is funding part of the VR development of the Engine.
The problem is that Unity is so prevalent at the moment that it's hard to convince people to work with you if you are not using it, but traction of Godot is growing and the things that are coming will make it even more attractive for developers to break out of the Unity monopoly.

They aren't cheap now, but that's only because the automation and AI pipelines aren't ready yet.
I was under the impression that both .cpp and .cc were far more common.
This is either just code that is too complicated or devs that aren't doing a good job of type hinting.

Everytime there is an any, it means that each developer reading or modifying this code has to find it out for themselves - every single time. Why not just type hint it correctly in the first place.
Google cloud is best cloud. Big cloud is infested with enterprise customers doing weird enterprise shit. Not built for devs anymore. Oracle is handing out free ARM instances with like 12 cores and 24GB RAM so it's pretty good too.
I don't think this is what you should take away from this post. Rust makes me very productive as a programmer, and reduces the "long tail" of debugging that I do when I write C and C++ (which I have for over a decade).

(And, for what it's worth, there are plenty of "cool jobs" writing C/C++. I have one!)
Congrats on the launch. Very appealing product.

I thought RapidAPI.com would be a direct competitor, but their site changed a lot. Have they pivoted from monetizing an API, directly? If so, then I'd definitely keep Kable on my radar.

I will tell you about housing price situation in Noida and NCR (of India). There are shitton number of newly built houses. They cost a fortune. There is literally no demand but the prices never ever drop. People thought that no demand would drive prices down but the construction mafias have a mutual agreement that no one would sell those houses at a discounted price. Same thing with diamonds and their artificially inflated prices. So I don't think there ever will be a big crash that you are hoping for.
A Federal Reserve is not a "parasite". He makes toilet paper by fulfilling a vital need for QE. Blame foreign policy, not the Federal Reserve, for high inflation and home prices.
Oh absolutely! I just like to bring up P3P whenever someone inevitably says there should be a standard for 'cookie popups'. AFAIK, P3P actually goes further than all/nothing: it distinguishes between 1st-party/3rd-party, required/optional, which details are involved (IP, email address, etc.), data retention periods, etc. Plus, this was all implemented, in the most popular browser (at the time), a full two decades ago!

The context has obviously changed: there used to be no consequences for lying/bypassing (I didn't actually know about the Google case you mention; although it doesn't surprise me!), and most importantly: there were no consequences for not bothering to put it on a site at all. Hence the low adoption, and hence it died away. That's now changed, there's a chance some "non evil" sites might bring it back.

> Current deliberately-awful cookie consent prompts are malicious compliance aimed to make law makers look incompetent and make people resent privacy protection laws.

Yep. That's why machine-readable requests, with default-deny responses from user agents, won't appear any time soon; especially in browsers made/sponsored by adtech giants! The inconvenient, manual-effort is a feature of consent popups (at least, for those who came up with the idea; most sites just jumped on the band-wagon)
As of today, Kable relies on our payment partners to calculate tax.

If you connect your Stripe account to Kable, you can enable automatic tax calculation in your Stripe dashboard, and invoices generated by Kable will be taxed by Stripe. As we add other payment partners, we will follow the same pattern. In the future, though, we do plan to add the option to calculate taxes directly within Kable.
That hotkey only opens the graphical overlay to take a screenshot. So not silent and additional steps required.
I would recommend the books "Putin's Russia" and "A Russian Diary" by the late Russian journalist and human rights activist Anna Politkovskaya [1, 2, 3]. In 2006, she was shot dead at her apartment building in central Moscow. The murder still remains unresolved.

Politkovskaya was a contributor to the Kremlin-critical Novaya Gazeta. According to Wikipedia, seven of its journalists have been murdered since 2000 [4].

Capturing the supply to raise rates is about as parasitic as you can get when talking about something that people absolutely need to have. The town I live in didn't get substantially larger population-wise, but home prices have risen almost 45% in the past 2 years because Zillow and other large corporations have been plucking up homes for sale left and right to squeeze the market.
Second this. Idyll is the closest thing I know that makes this sort of thing approachable. Those dot animations are unfortunately very custom.

It's worth noting that society existed for thousands of years without photography, audio recording, or videography. As you allude to, society is held together via trust networks, and these are independent of the prevailing media.

>> Last time I tried FreeCAD it seemed like a bunch of really good tools that had kind of been thrown in a bag and shaken around a bit. All the bits were there but it just seemed so clunky.

That's my impression too - and it tends to crash. If you look at how FreeCAD imports DWG files for example, it runs an external instance of a DWG->DXF converter built from (I think) LibreDWG, and then it uses their other python DXF importer to bring it in. In a way it makes sense because LibreDWG is GPLv3 only (not LGPL) so they can't directly incorporate it. But the awkward way it gets used feels like the way a lot of FreeCAD is put together. OTOH it can do a LOT and it is Free Software.
I think the topic is getting a bit muddled here. Are we talking about couples who can't have children because one or the other is infertile/sterile, or couples who could have children with someone else but not one another?

I'm not familiar with this latter scenario. A man being sterile is nothing like this algae's situation, as it has nothing to do with "pairing," he's simply unable to produce children with anyone.
The FTHBs of today got into the hot growing fields in 2011-2015 (tech, finance, solar, renewables, payments, artificial food, etc.) and have been saving large portions of their paycheck over the last 5-10 years. 5 years ago you'd hear about Millennials that all live the same lifestyle, but some were making $50-70K/year in "old line" professions and others were making $200K/year in tech. That adds up over time, but you generally won't hear about it if your friend is sitting on a million in index funds or cryptocurrency. They now get to trade inflated financial assets for inflated home prices.

In my experience people aren't paying beyond their means, but their means are high, and have been for a while. Where I live, in a small suburb of Silicon Valley, new FTHBs have been 100% tech for about the last 10 years.
I support precisely half of those things.
I went from a pandemic high of 87kg to 75kg and now a steady 77kg with the app Noom. Was very sceptical but just followed it blindly for three months. It’s very simple, runs you at a calorie deficit by tracking food intake and calories burnt through exercise. Crucially though it combines that with a carefully measured daily CBT style course around eating, to help lock in new habits.

It was a definitely aimed more at women than men and was a bit USA centric but I let that wash over and got very decent results.

I felt it was a bit expensive and by their own admission it doesn’t cope well as an app when you reach your target. I’m unsubbed now but have a new base level weight I’m much happier with.
