It's easy to see in hindsight that a certain item should have been stockpiled in anticipation of a shortage. What's hard is predicting what's going to be a shortage years into the future. Petroleum is an easy choice since energy is almost always in demand.

How can it be "completely safe" if it's affecting your heart rate and blood pressure? Those are pretty basic systems to tamper with and altering them in ways contrary to what signals your brain is sending is inherently going against the normal functioning of your body.
Wouldn't you just use multi factor authentication where everyone enters in the current random number on their devices. These are all determinable things and your calc just needs to carry arbitrary length codes.

So basically, you meet up, check your code, write it down, xerox it and hand it out. This works for arbitrary number of people. Doesn't require any real new algos; and should already fit 2FA schemas.

Blockchain is a buzz word.
For those outside of the monoculture, the non conformists, why? I don't mean what makes you (nb: using the term you in the general sense) different, I mean why? And then, why are you so certain that your difference or reasons for that difference is somehow better? I can extrapolate that most answers will be things like "LGBTQIAPP+" or based on externalities like skin color, but those are low hanging (and imo pretty bland) fruits. Other answers might be religion (or rejection thereof), or taste in music, or general youthful rebellion/contrarianism. Yet other answers might be entirely unimaginable to me.

But my question remains: why are you this way and why do you think it's a better way to be than the majority? What factors external to the conformist group contributed or influenced you, if any?

For the record, I, too, have fled regions and communities, both physical and virtual, where I was a deviant. I asked myself these questions and I have answers if anyone were to ask. I'm just curious what answers others have come up with, and whether they have ever asked themselves those same questions. I'm also curious if others have found their own answers lacking and how that is handled.
I had high hopes from the title.

So disappointed...
Thanks but I've tried beta blockers and a couple of SSRIs and diazepam is the only thing that touches my anxiety. When I walk in public the vigilance to perceived threat is is what I would expect walking through 1980s Beirut, it's a primitive fear response that manifests through symptoms that are more mental than physical in nature - heart rate and sweating in particular are issues but seem to me to be at the bottom of the chain.
Are you saying you were brought to tears because you weren’t eating carbs? I have known many people who have lost weight very successfully by switching a healthy, safe, and effective low carb/keto diet.

In fact I’ve never even heard of crying being a side effect. How are you suggesting these things are even linked?
Waterjeting without abrasive is a thing, it's used for soft materials like rubber... and there are some companies marking higher pressure approaches for metal (though usually with tiny amounts of abrasive rather than none at all).
I'm not sure LTO is the correct term for this.

What makes C slower than these other languages is that the external function is in a dynamic library. Calling external functions like this is notoriously slow because it involves a double indirection -- every call jumps to the PLT's function entry, which jumps to the actual function.

It's not that hard to do better in C if you load the library manually with `dlopen` and read the function pointer with `dlysym`. In this case, you directly call the function given its address value.

But that's still slower than having the function address "hardcoded" in the machine code, which is what you get when statically linking in C. That's also what the languages with negative overhead do when JIT-compiling (they basically statically link at runtime).
There is art that blurs this line. Lolita, for instance, blurs this line. Cuties is not anything like that. The emotions you're intended to register are very, very clear. The camera keeps panning away from the kids to reveal the shocked, saddened parents, and after the routine finishes the girl breaks out into tears. It's a traumatic moment.
Right, there already are some on the market like Wegovy (1). But they're expensive AFAICT and seem to have lots of side effects. Hopefully as we get better with synthetic proteins we can create more targeted treatments with less side effects. Also, many types of foods and additives also manipulate appetite. So while the article is true, there's still huge variability in the body's appetite response. Eating "less" can backfire in subconscious ways of re-adding extra calories in other hidden ways.

Long term (centuries), as a species I suspect we may end up doing some light genetic modifications to tune our appetite for norms in modern civilization. Presuming modern western style lifestyles become more sustainable.

We're less than ~100 years into this crazy modern era where routine famines aren't the norm. Even in Western Europe post-WWI and post-WWII there were lots of famines. If you compare Western Europe with the USA-minus-1.5 decades you get similar curves of obesity increase [2]. That makes sense if you consider that post-WWII it took Western Europe about a decade or two to repair basic infrastructure. The whole bit of overall Europe having healthier cuisine than the US isn't true, with regards to obesity at least. It's largely seems to be availability of calories. Eastern Europe for example reflects the fall of the USSR and economic stagnation during 1990's pretty well too [3].

Paper from researchers: https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-022-00436-3

"Using life-cycle assessment modelling of potential supply chain impacts for twelve nations undertaking Enhanced Rock Weathering deployment to deliver up to net 2 Gt CO2 yr−1 CDR, we find that rock grinding rather than mining exerts the dominant influence on environmental impacts. This finding holds under both a business-as-usual and clean energy mix scenario to 2050 but transitioning to undertaking Enhanced Rock Weathering in the future with low carbon energy systems improves the sustainability of the Enhanced Rock Weathering supply chain. We find that Enhanced Rock Weathering is competitive with other large-scale Carbon Dioxide Removal strategies in terms of energy and water demands."
How truly "empirical" is said research or any research in psychometrics?

I've seen many of the claim correlations of IQ with "success" like career trajectories, divorce rates, better health and longevity, etc.. However, I've yet to see any strong correlations. Does IQ have a correlation stronger than 0.5 with anything?

IIRC, I am pretty sure parental income, or lack thereof, is a better predictor of "success" than IQ.

This just isn't true :shrug: Horizontal scaling is one of many strategies.
The downside to that is if you want to write a new function that deals different subclasses, you can't keep all the logic in one place; you have to spray its implementation across all the different types it has to handle. This is the #1 reason I prefer languages with sum types and pattern matching (or the ability to emulate it via unions and instanceof checks, e.g. TypeScript or Python + mypy).
Well, going by our nomenclature for other things, the hypothetical leader of the other practitioners, by analogy to a leader in the army, could be called a "general practitioner."

Reminds me of war dialing as a kid and forgetting to exclude the 911 prefix. Cops showed up at my house around 2am, banging on the front door. They weren't happy, to say the least. Good times. Actually, it was maybe a year or two after this song was released. Jenny, Jenny, you're the girl for me.

I was raised in a family that used food treats as a reward. It was normal to have ice cream and cookies a few times a week. To be clear, I wasn't obese until after I moved out on my own, but part of the pattern was set.

I was raised in America where we are told that we can 'have it all'. If you don't order the large portion, people wonder what is wrong with you.

I'm not blaming my situation on these factors, but I do think they are important contributors.
Same could be said for US dollar as a world currency, couldn't it? Do you think its model is sustainable?

British pound has enjoyed a long history and was used as a currency for international trade until early 20st century. Then dollar took over.

One could argue it's because USA emerged from WW2 as a super-power.

But it would be foolish to say that only a major war or a fall of the empire will change what currency people use.

I'm not arguing for Terra as it was really a bad design. But it is odd that so many people just reject the idea of cryptocurrencies.

It's a big sandbox, big experiment with thousands of people working on the new primitives. Even if 80% projects are scam or failures, 20% might be revolutionary. The US dollar as it is today went through several iterations

It was kind of a stablecoin in the early days, pegged to the value of Spanish dollar which was more popular. There were also Continentals that failed and many colonial currencies that were outlawed IIRC.

This is what people say when they see me walking my cat. “I tried he just laid there.” I just smile and say, ah ya they’ll do that. If they hadn’t already given up, I’d probably probe on the fact that they probably bought a harness and tried it like once for 10 minutes.

Z drugs are better than benzodiazepines but not by much. Their pharmacodynamics are similar: they act on the same GABA receptors.

Zolpidem is best used for a couple to regularize sleep patterns and help establish proper sleep hygiene. Trazodone at lower doses is better for long term use, especially in older patients.
It’s like Diane’s response when Bojack Horseman asks if he’s “a good person, deep down”:

“I don’t really think there is a deep down. I think we are just the things we do.”

That line really resonated with me. It stings, but it also motivates. I think if more people recognized it, they might do more good things (and/or stop being so hard on themselves if they’re already in the habit of doing good things).
I think this is quite elegant and nice. Cool!

They do get programmed to compensate for the specific hearing loss of the individual, but if there was an easy way to take a hearing test and program the earbuds at home to match, that would be amazing. The transparency mode on the Apple AirPods already uses the mic to pass through sound, but I don’t know of any way to amplify specific frequencies or to transmit sound from one side to the other (for one-sided deafness).
I don't think anyone is making the claim that regulation is foolproof. But the idea that no regulation is inherently better seems specious.
> The conformity is kind of the point and makes it better for the rest of us

So when you say "rest of us" here you're coming from a society that's on the edge of survival?

That's a context I definitely wasn't thinking. I'd assumed based on the conversation we were talking about cities vs small towns in relatively well established countries.

Honestly, I'm not sure I buy your hypothesis though, even if I think of struggling countries, feel you'd have to back it up with more reasoning and data. I don't really see how conformity would help. It still seems to me like it's just an obstacle, all innovation or attempts at change or trying new or different ways are shut down and repressed. If the current way of life isn't yielding the kind of outcome needed to lift them above that edge of survival, continuing to strictly enforce and being against anyone trying to go against it seems counterproductive to me.

I'm not saying you get rid of law and order. But I don't see the benefits of say banning certain type of medicine, foods, dances, music, art, social interactions, love making, natural selection of a mate, methods of trade, methods of construction, etc.

> there is a reason individual choice is emphasized almost solely in societies rich enough to afford letting people make mistakes

I feel you might have the cause and effect reversed. It could just as well be that there is a reason societies that emphasize individual choice are often the ones to become prosperous and rich.
The mover only has as much power from the body moving it, so it would still be distributed - almost like a top-down message passing or request if needing more power to allocate the infinite.

> Leibniz uses "original capacity" here to distinguish primary from secondary causation, noting that "secondary causes operate by virtue of the primary". I take this to mean that if a mover is being moved by something else, its power is only by virtue of the thing moving it, rather than an original capacity. I therefore require that the mover not be moved itself, for the conclusion of this premise to apply.

I find this quite elegant actually. It's like an allowance of energy in a fractal pattern. Feels elegant!
Harm reduction was never a valid reason to impose lockdowns and restrictions on the general population.
And then there's cases where there was good foresight in stockpiling certain essentials in some wiser countries, but then they go and decide to stop stockpiling. The craziness! ;) (see https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-50402048 https://www.economist.com/europe/2019/11/21/defending-switze...)
Tailwind is not going to help much with this. Tailwind is a framework builder, not a framework.

If you want a decent looking website when you don’t have a lot of skills, grab Bootstrap, find a nice prebuilt theme for it, and start coding. You can learn CSS incrementally as you do it.

After you’re comfortable with that, do the same with your next project, but grab a design book and do more custom css.

Then start looking at Tailwind after you’ve learned the basics.

I assume it helps to narrow down the list of suspects if/when the (guarded/secret) knowledge is used for nefarious purposes.
On the inertia and the gap between what the research/newest drugs and what is prescribed day to day: it is very real.

And there’s tons of reasons for that, ranging from:

- doctors that cling to the treatment they know to work (“the devil you know”)

- sheer lack of knowledge (not their speciality so they’re not up to date by a long shot)

- waiting for a few more years to have long term real world data

- pharma companies effectively bribing them by any means so they don’t look elsewhere

Ask HN: Have a website on the tip-of-your-tongue?
Hey HN, I often remember bits of either Hacker News' threads or links I've followed from them that I then neglect to bookmark.

I suspect others have the same issue and wanted to make a thread to hopefully connect the resident knowledge-base of people here to those in need.

In my case, I'm cursed looking for a particular blog post in which the author demonstrated a technique for coding complex software in C via leveraging the shell (bash in this case) as a way of avoiding memory management issues. Since the processes involved were themselves tiny, startup and teardown costs were marginal, at least for some workloads.
I believe one of the core ideas was that classic C/Unix programmers thought in terms of "shelling out" to C when needed from a bash script but the core application logic was in the script and not in the (relatively) clunky language of C.

Anyway, if you know what blog post this is I would very much appreciate being pointed back to it. Hopefully others can benefit from finding things too!

Depending on my mood I find the blatant politicking/nepotism either infuriating or part of the kitsch charm of the whole thing. Greece for example could spend 3 minutes with one guy banging a spoon on a saucepan while another strangled a cat, and Cyprus would still give them 12 points.

Edit: fun fact - this was apparently the first ESC ever without a single entry in French - the French entry was sung in Breton.

There are different levels and kinds of hunger. When I do what you suggest my brain and body don't work very well. After some time, blood sugar gets low and the glycogen stores in the liver are depleted. At this point my body tells me I'm dying. Obviously I've gone through this and lived.

My main point is that people will give mechanical advice for losing weight, but it's very hard to tell someone what feelings they will go through. It's very hard to tell someone else what 'normal' should feel like for them.
The point being made was that the labelling and content are not distinct issues. As an example, some banned European formulas do not contain the necessary nutrients and thus require a label denoting that additional nutrition is necessary.[1]

Often, when people look at quality issues as purely non-essential "paperwork", they are missing the intent of the requirement. In this case, labelling something as "infant formula" connotates a precise nutritional meaning. Such oversight provides arbitrary rules-lawyering.

These drugs chemically change the brain, so your brain might fall into a state where you lose control.

Drugs often get pulled decades after being approved, usually because the safety studies were not expansive enough to give a complete picture of the danger. For example: Varenicline.
