I mean, DO does provide an out of the box WordPress installation. Just click "create droplet" and you have a WordPress site ready to go. You just need your own domain name (and even then, it is still cheaper than what WP.com is quoting).

I'm not some sysadmin guru either, and mostly just look up tutorials when trying to achieve some goal. E.g. Install better caching system, optimize for ram usage, etc.

But yes, I have been hosting my sites like this for over a decade so for me it feels like second nature. In saying that, I am sure there are other platforms that provide free blog hosting and can be used as alternatives. Sadly, it means you'll lose the WordPress.com subdomain, but also access to their network of bloggers.

I remember in 2012, I started a poetry blog on WordPress.com and in a few months I had 2,000 subscribers - all of whom found me through their discovery feature. It was quite nice.

Unfortunately, Reader Mode in Firefox doesn't work for all pages, only pages that have markup that it understands.[1]

I use a Firefox extension called "Dark Background and Light Text"[2] that lets you override the foreground/background colors for HTML pages. (Despite the name, you can pick whatever colors you like. And you can selectively enable/disable it based on the domain.) Another similar extension, that's also available for Chrome, is "Dark Reader".[3] But its colors are not configurable. Both of these extensions are open source.

Is Valley of the Gods really not going to happen? I loved Firewatch and really enjoyed the Campo Santo Quarterly Review [1], but I guess it's been over 4 years since an update and I guess it's in the ground at this point.

The sun emits more than just UVA and high energy UV light is ionizing. Further my point was that you chained together a mechanism and tried to prove it with something completely unrelated vice trying to address the broader observational evidence in the OP. If your proposed mechanism was real it should've resulted in a significant spike in brain tumors which had not happened. Citing solar urticaria is a complete non sequitur to the point the OP is making with their direct observation that show a lack of increased cancer rates.

I'm also aware of the number of papers out there proposing harm but in the broader picture they don't pan out as reproducible or actually demonstrating sufficient evidence to show harm. That's what the OP is talking about. Despite all the hypothetical mechanisms brain cancers did not increase between the time we had no cell phones to when they became ubiquitous in society.

Here's the contribution I've been responding with all over this thread:

"Overall, the epidemiological studies on RF EMF exposure do not show an increased risk of brain tumours. Furthermore, they do not indicate an increased risk for other cancers of the head and neck region."

https://ec.europa.eu/health/scientific_committees/emerging/d...

The EU routinely surveys the literature to review the research on RFR and EMF exposure and time and time again does not turn up any statistically significant proof of harm. It covers way more than 90 studies; the citation section alone is 55 pages of the 288 in this systematic review.

This is why I get so frustrated about people asserting a cause without providing real data the effects are real or insisting effects exist as a response to data like the OP that suggest there's no interaction.

Provide this thread some explanation regard why the OP is is wrong and cancer cells are going up and then connect that to your assertion of a mechanism similar to solar uticara. If you can't do the first part of that and discredit the observational data your mechanism is just a data-less hypothesis and is just sewing fear uncertainty and doubt for no reason.

I want to come into the office. It's nice to get to know coworkers better. And I like the commute and the routine.

But it sucks.

There aren't enough meeting rooms for all the meetings. When I do get a meeting room, I have to wait for the last meeting to wrap up. Or I find out that the camera doesn't work. Or the lighting is off. And it's harder to tell who's talking. And messages in the meeting are truncated on the meeting room screen, so there's kinda a private side channel where only remote workers can participate effectively.

Our office is open plan, so I can hear people on other teams talking and I can't focus as well.

Sometimes the badge readers break and aren't fixed until the next day.

Sometimes there are evacuations.

The mail room is only open 11am-1pm, so if I have lots of meetings I have to wait another 24 hours to get my important parcel.

If they want me to come into the office, they really should make it more productive than working from home.
My aunt did her PhD after she retired. Through working for decades in her field she had developed a hunch and a personal theory about the best way to do a thing, and she basically just wanted to see if she was right.

Thanks for the analysis. Can't say I understood much, but the concept of automating venture investment is an interesting idea. As a side question, what would you recommend a total beginner to learn if they wanted to go from 0 to being competent at neural networks, or machine learning in general. I'm currently dabbling with R in grad school (biology), and I know Python is big within the machine learning world.

Is there a pathway you would recommend (e.g., first learn Python until you're familiar in X, Y, Z, then make sure to learn the required mathematics... etc)? Also, how long would this process of learning roughly take? Been thinking of potentially changing fields after grad school, or maybe working at the intersection of ML and medicine.

> probably doesn’t have enough resources to maintain both.

So why break a perfectly functional feature, if they are on a tight line? Just to compete with Notion.io? Stop trying to gob the next market when you don’t have enough resources to maintain your own stack.

Remember when Ubuntu created the Unity desktop and made all Gnome users angry, just to try to gob the mobile/tablet market?

> No, you don't. This is egregiously wrong and is a blatant misunderstanding of distributed systems. In a typical cryptocurrency blockchain, it's the miners that have control over which smart contracts you interact with.

The match your rhetoric, this is a best an outrageous slight of hand playing with semantics, at worst you are the one not understanding how they work.

/I/ have control which smart contracts I interact with - no one else.

Number one, the miners cannot force me to interact with anything. It is a common source of confusion - miners cannot force invalid transactions, not even if 100% of them work together. The users of the chain (and their delegates, i.e. exchanges) make the rules, not the miners.

The miners have a single job, for which they get paid: to order transactions. And with that job comes the the power to /not/ pick a transaction. Miners could possible /prevent/ me from interacting with a smart contract.

A large point of blockchain design is to ensure that this will not happen in practice, i.e. the censoring miners are in the minority.
Got you!

Indeed, blending the "game" with "habits" is tricky.

I'll work hard towards that and try to unify it as much as possible.

Well, it's not.

The test for ADHD, at least in Uk, is figuring out how much your life has been impacted by your executive function disorder. Whether your anxiety and depression are a result of being chronically unable to direct your mind to your goals. If that's the case, you might have ADHD.

It's not a productivity test. It's a disability test.
I got a kid who "does the chores". The reason they do it is that they've been educated since very young age (3+) to have responsibilities: cleaning, tidying up, setting/clearing the table and so on. They have their own hoover and drying rack.

I believe it's ultimately a matter of underlying philosophy of treating children like "young adults" or not, with all the consequences, as the roles are set from very young age.

I know parents who are horrified when they hear about 5 years old children cleaning up after themselves; with their model though, they set the role of "incapable children" and "providing parents" - "teaching" them to do the "chores" later will be hard, because it's not in the role they've taught.

I also disagree with the term "chore". It's true that they're boring, but this term disconnects tasks from their purposes; if nobody, say, sets and clears the table, nobody can eat. It's crucial to have in mind that chores/tasks always have a purpose. If a child is grown up as "incapable", there's no connection between task and purpose, and actually, it's rational to refuse to perform any task ("chore"), because it's part of somebody else's responsibilities (the "providing parent").
Thanks, it means a lot :)
Funny enough it was actually my wife who suggested him. I had a large stack of resumes I had gone through and was complaining to her that I couldn't find a suitable candidate to even call in for an interview. She looked through the resumes and asked about him. His resume was so bad I hadn't even read it, I had glanced over it and just assumed it was someone on UI just making their weekly allotted resume drops. She had worked in retail management for years and horrifically written resumes are apparently pretty common in retail. Turned out he had the experience I was looking for.
Wolfenstein 3D was my first video game. My brother and I had the Shareware version on our [unknown type] family computer running Windows 3.1. No soundblaster for us so we were treated to the generic alternative sounds from our built-in PC speakers (maybe somebody can add some illumination to this?). I still remember the cheat code (M+L+I) 25 years later and probably still know most of the secret passages. Lots of good memories from inside the castle.
Thanks, I will try this now.

The vast majority of known vulnerabilities are in the plugin ecosystem, not WordPress itself. The core codebase is remarkably well-maintained (of course, due to its massive popularity) considering its age and dedication to backward compatibility.
It was, right? I hope anyone who's considering designing an alternative keeps this in mind. It was one of the best things about WordPress.com. This is also why I'm currently considering micro.blog.
I was never that crazy about Jesus Lizard, but I never understood why Nirvana and not them, relatively speaking.

I liked Goat, Liar, and Down better than Shot, which seems to correlate with Albini producing only the first three.
I'm not sure I prefer Albini's mix, I'm still missing the released (commercial) mix. Somehow I find albini's version too toyed with (some instruments pops out at times). And the demo you linked is closer to the final version in that regard, sounds more like Nirvana to me. Thanks for the link, I had no idea these were online.

In a totally other genre, Michael Jackson Thriller vocal studo outtakes are breathtaking.
I am introverted, but the pandemic has taught me that I'm not actually suited to a reclusive life. I get far more done when working from home, but need a day in the office every month or so as a "reset", to remind myself that the company is bigger than just me and my projects, and that my colleagues are people rather than Slack bots.

Which battle? A well raised kid would probably still be a kid at heart and do the chores, not mutually exclusive.
If anyone is looking for an alternative:

I bought a Sony Bravia BZ40H Digital Signage Display. It does have Google's Android TV crap but unlike consumer TVs I refused the agreement when asked and the TV works perfectly fine without talking to any Google services or spying on us even though it is connected to the network (I check its traffic). It also has an API, though I haven't made use of it yet. We use it as a dumb monitor to an AppleTV and so far it has worked OK. It doesn't pop anything onto the screen - that would detract from its use as digital signage after all :)

I went with this model because I specifically wanted a "Digital Signage" display that had a reasonably good panel (a lot of them are garbage).

The goal is not to "get kids to do chores" per se, but to raise adults who are self sufficient and self reliant. "Chores" is a bit of a loaded word because I think a lot of people associate it with dread and a sort of low key undeserved punishment, which is certainly not the goal. In this context it is more akin to having a child pass you pegs while you are trying to hang the washing on the line as opposed to parking them in front of a screen or compete for your attention.
Weird logic. A 2013 iMac is “still reasonably fast for pretty much everything I do with it”, which means it’s not really fast for many things and slow for some things.

Also “My point is not that these machines are not generally faster”, which seems to imply it’s fast for more things they do with it (if it isn’t, or only marginally so, they should have made that argument)

How is that plateauing? And that ignores new functionality. The M1 Neural engine makes things possible that that 2013 iMac never realistically could.
This is absolutely spot-on, and I think a lot of HN will agree with you here…

…which makes it all the more baffling why many on HN decry decentralization and web3 as scam artistry.

These are the perils of giving your TV network access. I have a smart TV but you couldn't tell. I use the power button, input, left and right to select the source, and volume, and that's it. And as far as those functions are concerned, this TV is functioning identically to one from 15 years ago. Yes the remote has a button that says 'netflix' on it, but I don't lose sleep over it.

An air force officer may have to qualify on their aircraft each year, but they're unlikely to be "the most experienced" fighter pilot, and it's common in the military for enlisted people to make fun of officers for being too abstracted away from the life of a soldier.

Really enjoyed this read!

“My morning routine is well-oiled. I drink a big glass of water, do some exercise, hit the shower, meditate for a few minutes, read a few pages, take some notes, and write a few more paragraphs of my next book.“

What is it for you now? Morning routines are a dream of the past for me.
There's a difference between what one wishes the world was like, and what one should do given the world as it actually is.

Given the past rampant anti-LGBT feelings and actions around the world, it totally made sense for LGBT people to band together, to enact change on their own behalf.

Much of the world is better for LGBT people today, but a) it's still not quite as good as most would want it, and b) in many parts of the world, it's still quite bad.

So given that everyone else treats LGBT as a group, and that everyone else treats them badly, then of course it makes sense for them to act as a group. (Though of course I don't literally mean that everyone treats them badly, just the general trend)
Tagging challenges are one reason why I sort and browse music by folders/filesystem.
This is my problem with Rust in Peace. It was a terrific album, but Dave didn't want to continue paying royalties to people he no longer likes. So in 2004 or so almost the whole album was rerecorded with studio musicians. It is horrible, mechanical, flat. Even some of the vocals were redone, poorly.

I'll sign up for the streaming service that provides the original 1990 Rust in Peace.
I think this boils down to one single rule:

Kids are wired to want to learn things. Learning is fun, because play is semi-structured learning.

You can see this in other species too, where pups and kittens play at hunting and fighting, and it comes with a number of important corollaries.

First one is that a major part of this learning experience is emotional, not just technical. You’re not just teaching your child to wash the dishes, you’re also teaching them how to feel about washing the dishes. If you act like chores are something to be avoided, your kids will learn that from you. If you resent your kids not helping, they’ll learn that too.

Second is that kids never stop learning, so you never stop teaching. If you act like you resent chores all day, then try to act enthusiastic about doing them as a way to get your kid to help, they’ll catch on to the deception really quickly.

Third, your kids are not always learning the lessons you want to teach them. If you want to punish them for misbehaving, don’t do that by giving them chores. Chores = punishment teaches the exact opposite of what you want them to learn!

At least here in Sweden it is not uncommon for employers to help sponsor employees getting their PhD. The basic deal is you split your time 50/50 between work and study and your research has to be something directly relevant and useful to to company and what you do there. Often you will be directly applying the research you do at the university to a project you have at work, and your work project will be the 'platform' on which your research is tested and evaluated.

In exchange the company will pay you 50% of your salary plus a stipend so that your total take home salary doesn't drop off too much. Does such a thing exist where you live?
