> I don't see a way to split the difference between ⌘N for a new terminal window and ⌘N for a new application window. It has to do one of those things because it can't to two, and speaking personally, I want it to open the new terminal window. It's a tradeoff.

Right. I'm not saying CLI tools should be able to get command-keys, I'm saying using a TUI instead of a GUI means you cannot use command-keys. It's a notable limitation inherent to TUIs, and it's one I'm talking about since the context here is "the terminal is the most portable GUI platform available".

> Having both Compose and Alt as right and left Option is perfectly straightforward, and I suggest it, because much like with Command, it does have to do one or the other, but this time, we have two keys.

I like that this is an option in some terminal emulators. Unfortunately it's not an option in Terminal.app, and for me personally I'm using right-option for something else system-wide (though I may have chosen differently if Terminal.app offered this).
It's always the government's fault.
I have a hard time believing that while the current status quo is suboptimal, there's some little known compounds that are, as you say, revolutionary and with little side effects. Pharmacological research is a constantly moving target, there is no scientific nor economic reason that a supposedly "perfect" remedy remains unknown. Sounds too much like thinly veiled conspiracy, or perhaps they're not as perfect as you're suggesting.

That said, it's not my area of competence, so if you know _why_ opipramol and guanfacine are ignored compared to benzos and other anxiolytic, you should probably explain that.

EDIT: re: guanfacine, I know it's a second-line treatment for ADHD, it was previously used to treat hypertension, but this is the first time I hear it might be applicable as an anxiolytic. It does certainly have side effects, though not as bad as being neurodegenerative like benzodiazepines.

they're saying they wouldn't be so easily prescribed in the US
I take a benzo ICE as needed, but was on them for a while and never really noticed degenerative affects though I’m young though. Should I be worried?

Interestingly working out is a trigger for my anxiety. I'm currently trying graded exposure therapy for exercise, but so far it's not working.

I'd argue the poverty line in America is very low compared to what it really takes to live.

Most people can't significantly save money, so when you have a bad month it's hard to catch up.
Yeah, even when I pig out on fried chicken and burgers I still lose weight. But I run three miles four times a week.

> wouldn't harnessing some more useful proveable activity tied to a lottery system be better

Yes, but such a puzzle needs to be

- easy to generate at a certain difficulty

- difficult to solve

- easy to verify and

- the solution needs to be dependent on previous solution (so you can't silently pre-solve them).

Solving (stupid) hashes so far is the only activity that checks these requirements.

Another option might be to design a certain hash function such that when the hardware miners dedicated to solve them become obsolete (i.e. too expensive to be used for crypto mining), they can be easily repurposed for another problem set.
Football without regulations is Rugby I think. Rugby looks like anarchy, but I don't know the game
Actually, at therapeutic doses, it is.
Yes, it's unfortunate that exercise is not prescribed more for these issues as there are tons of studies showing the benefits of working out against depression, anxiety etc.. I think we should really be seeing a mechanism where doctors can prescribe time off for exercise to deal with mental or physical issues, without repercussions for the employee. Maybe it's too much of a hope to see that in the US, but at least in Europe.
> Try to take a period of reprograming, where you just stick with it.

While I'm sure you mean well, but "just try harder for longer" isn't new advice and certainly not good advice. All evidence we have is that you are entirely unlikely to stick it through. Dopamine is the most powerful mechanism in our existence.
Amphetamines are that drug, but the side effects are awful.
It’s not that you’re eating too much, it’s that you’re eating (and drinking) too much sugar. Consume less sugar, and don’t eat when you’re not hungry, and you will be amazed at the results.
Similar story, but with tea. I used to dump sugar into it but eventually I just stopped. Now I have plain black tea every morning. I really can’t stand drinking it with sugar now.

I also ditched soda (except for an occasional mixed drink) and when I want something cold and fizzy I pour a can of seltzer water with lime, orange, cherry, etc. It’s a game changer if you can kick the sugar habits.
Interesting. Well, more importantly to me the crash is almost nonexistant compared to the creamer. There might be a quantity difference, too.
I know that weight loss happens differently for different people, so read this or ignore this. Hopefully you haven't heard this exact take before, but with the number of people who dump advice on you when they think you're unhappy with your weight, you probably have at some point.

Keto has consistently been the most effective way for me to lose weight. More important than the actual diet though, was that it became clear to me that there was a difference between, "Hey, you were supposed to eat by now." hungry and "OK, I'm a bit dizzy and forgetful and need to get something in my stomach." Just knowing that there were two completely different hunger signals made losing weight a lot easier. I ignore the one that generally occurs at set times or after a certain period of time since the last meal and make sure I have something on hand to straighten things out if my blood sugar needs some support.

For me, cutting out carbs and maintaining a reasonable calorie deficit works wonders. My mom can't sustain a keto diet very long and does super well counting calories. I've had friends in the past who maintained a healthy weight eating small, carby meals frequently in addition to exercise.

The actual combo of diet and exercise is very dependent on the individual, but I feel that knowing the difference between "hungry" and "need to get calories in to function" is a big advantage, however you get to that point.
Effectively what Turing Pi, Jetson and similar are, but I don't understand why computers, as a class, are always designed the way they are, and there are no serious LTS module&backplane-based options for SOHO. Everything should scale up by offering all resources in physically being able to plug into something else. I feel like if you just happened to have 15K iPhones laying around, you should be able to readily pool and abstract all their resources for an effective supercomputer cluster... with a bunch of Apple iPhone backplanes, but I don't see them for sale anywhere.
> 'it took over a year for American masks to come to market, just in time for them to not be needed, in large part because of regulation'

What it really regulation that was at fault for masks being so delayed? The entire suplly chail for meltblown is missing.

There are more tooling engineers in the city of Shenzhen than in all of North America combined.

A basic masks that an average citizen had to wear to take the metro does not even come with any medical certification, what regulation was getting in the way, the need to file taxes?

Next time you are hungry: take a hot bath with epson salts, while you read aloud. After your body is warmed up, do 30 minutes yoga. Followed by 10 minute guided meditation. Boho Beutiful has a Youtube channel where you can find Yoga/meditation vides. This routine will improve focus and mental clarity and help with the cravings while also being great for stretch. Can do it in the morning or at night, or even repeat it through the day instead of sitting at the computer.
Anecdotally, I can attest to the surprising efficacy of alpha blockers. I have used prazosin as a sleep aid for the last decade, a few times a month.

There were some limited studies that suggest it is effective in helping sleep quality in people with nightmares and PTSD. Now, I don't have PTSD, but I do have a mind that will not shut off at night, running in useless circles that jolt me back awake. It does nothing for the racing mind, but my body's physiological reaction to my emotional state is lessened. I physically relax, quite literally in smooth muscle activation terms, and apparently that lets me get to sleep.

Beta blockers are probably a bit more heavy duty, but they do appear to be quite effective at treating performance-related anxieties from another small study. Shakes? Chills? Dizziness and blood pressure spikes? From the discussion I had with my psychiatrist, I think the working hypothesis is that treating the physical symptoms of anxiety is an effective intervention here, as the discomforting experiences that the initial anxiety triggers, creates a feedback cycle. (Oh god, now I'm sweating and flushed, everyone's gonna notice...!)

Decentral, Crypto-Secure, Anonymous, Verifiable Voting/Polling System
Hello,

I have developed a system for digital voting.
This can be used for making polls, votings, and referendums.

The system operates via solving two tasks:
1) n Individuals organize themselves in "pools". In a pool, each there is a 1:1 relation between account and individual. The mechanic in use is mutual approval of public key.
2) Via a large random number game, n "public vote keys" are generated and announced, such that each voter holds the private key to one of the public vote keys. People can then anonymously post their votes via TOR in a blockchain and authenticate them via their private vote key. Everyone can verify and count everyone's vote.

Implications:
i) Votums, referendums, polls, opinion studies, etc become fast, cheap (just the electricity), unforgeable, and verifiable. This increases trust, participation, frequency of use, and thus increases the ability of political participation for citizens in a country.
ii) Even if governments would wish to prevent a votum/ referendum/ polls/ opinion study/ etc, they are unable to do so, because the system is decentral. This means, anyone can ask anything and everyone can vote on everyone and see all votes. This could end dictatorships.
iii) Votum results stay on the internet and can be used to put political pressure on leaders and fighting corruption.
iv) Pools can be organized beyond borders of countries, thus fostering a global democratic formation of the people.
v) confirmation bias, fake news, internet bubbles can be countered because everyone can compare the presented information with poll results. (For instance: How many people trust this fact?)

I believe the presented method is the first algorithmic means to generating truth:
Philosophy teaches that there is no fact nor truth. However, a mere mirror of what the people vote is a factual depiction of their truth.

If anyone knows how to move this forward, then post an email distributor and let's form a team to implement it.
While there are some good ideas, there are also many bad ones. (URLs are one good idea.) It could be designed better. Perhaps I can mention this quotation (which wasn't about HTML, although some of the bad things happen with HTML for similar reasons):

The sad fact of the matter is that people play politics with standards to gain commercial advantage, and the result is that end users suffer the consequences. This is the case with character encoding for computer systems, and it is even more the case with HDTV.
The article is actually really good. I'm happy to see a publication like Harvard Business Review writing about it, rather than knee-jerk cynicism.
They said they lost 25kg and your response is "it would have worked if you had kept at it for longer"?

Your view is contradicted by the scientific evidence.
You and I both know that in the lions share of cases of the above, the comment gets passed over without any ado. When its attached to ANYTHING related to Rand, or Cato or Reason, its a fluffer parade of anger.

The short answer then is the same problem Reason has always had...it treats any regulation as anathema, and will volley the blame anywhere else reflexively. It is occasionally correct in that regard, but it's total lack of nuance makes it mostly just agit-prop, and for those of us who have read Reason since at least the .com era...the miles per gallon of ink with the same tropes ad nauseum, are....nauseating.

Happy now?

I don't think this willpower explanation quite fits the facts.

I can delay gratification. I can quit coffee cold turkey no problem. I skip breakfast to increase my fasting period. I don't need TV or Internet, I'd rather work on my lifestyle property. I almost never take pain pills, I see myself as stoic, I can do long duration exercise.

I can count calories and force my weight down from 100kg to 74kg by sheer willpower and focus on the issue.

And yet I can't effectively keep the weight off. Because the hunger is 24x7, and my ability to focus on the issue isn't 24x7... I have other things to do in life.

Yes. Some doctors do; some don't. My new doctor was horrified when I told her what I was prescribed. She's young, and she said the first thing they say in medical school nowadays is, "Benzos are bad." My first doctor was much older and clearly from a different era of medical school.
React JSX is hands down the best templating engine for Server Rendered Pages, imo.

It seems like you're asserting a very specific definition of scalability that excludes Prometheus' scalability model. Scalability is an abstract property of a system that can be achieved in many different ways. It doesn't require any specific model of sharding, batching, query replication, etc. Do you not agree?
I own a solar array. I heard an argument against solar owners participating in net metering that was interesting. The argument is: net metering doesn't account for the cost of transmission and maintenance of the energy credit that is consumed.

Basically, we mooch off the grid. We're supposedly freeloaders, using the grid as our giant battery - only when we need it, and we're not paying to maintain the grid*.

This argument was new to me. The state I live in doesn't credit me 1:1 per kWh, per se.

Each kWh of power I pay for has 3 components; when added together, consumers pay a rate per kWh anywhere from 7-15cents. Each credit of power I produce can only offset 2 of the 3 components (like 95% of the cost)

Tldr - it sounds like some utility providers do not require solar owners to pay for transmission costs, or break their bill up in such a way that the credit can only be applied toward the power, but not the transmission.

Net metering sounds like a topic that needs to be defined. Some states definition of net metering could be very advantageous to solar owners, while other states have reasonable net metering rules that still incentivize residential solar.

Isn't the feeling of having a full stomach what people normally mean by being full? I've never thought you could feel full bit hungry.

The other side of that is you can feel like you need to eat despite not actually feeling hungry. I've lost a bit recently, but not often with that hole in the stomach feeling. I still often get that "I should eat something" feeling while not feeling the physical "belly empty".

Try different cousins, as many different new fruits, spices, etc as you can, along with vitamins and minerals.

To me, this sounds like your body wants something and it never gets it.
You have distilled a better framework in two sentences than Reason could have in two issues of features.

Well done.
You are describing most of a keto diet, which is high in fiber, and sources most of its calories from fat instead of carbohydrates.
You could ask the same of someone addicted to smoking or cocaine or whatever. Every fibre of your body is telling you to go eat/smoke/get high etc. It is an all consuming urge that relentlessly interrupts whatever else you are trying to do or think about. You literally cannot stop thinking about your next think you are going to eat.

For me, it is not even physical stomach ache as you suggest, it is the mental aspect of total and complete brain derailment until you go eat something.

I guess I could ask someone to lock me in a room or something. That is not practical though as unlike smoking or drugs you need to eat something to stay alive - you cannot just go 100% cold turkey to try and break the addiction because you need to eat eventually.
Yeah this is a good approach I try to customize my CV off a base for every role. Even shoving it in a new company-name folder in Dropbox.

Reason calling the government bad is like Uncle Leo in Seinfeld calling everyone an anti-semite.
Which reforms?
India already produces a lot of Wheat, and the Gov was sure about it's ability to feed India as well as the World. Hence a month ago, it declared it was ready to export and feed the World.
The lesson here is not about Agricultural reforms, but about Government reforms. It's ability to collect and analyze the data properly.
But primarily, its also about the need to address the increase in heat due to Climate Change. That's what lead to lower production this year, which the Gov did not factor in into their calculations.

I have literally never had a discussion with a pharmacist. I drive up, hand them my script through the drawer thingy, and they hand me back my drugs. In fact, in the last couple years, I barely even do that anymore; our doctors just call in our scripts, and we get a text message when it's time to pick them up, and that's that.

The idea that pharmacists have any meaningful diagnostic role in the US is risible.
Of the common legal drugs, benzos are by far the most dangerous to quit.

And you get addicted in like a week.

If not from eating too much, what am I losing fat because of then?
Cronometer I found was missing lots and lots of food items and restaurants though, and that makes it harder to report.

I unfortunately travel a fair amount and this means I can't just make restaurants a "cheat meal" some days. I try going to the grocery store while traveling, but it takes so much more time when I'm taking taxis and trying to cook in a hotel room.

HOWEVER

This is a lot of whining and excuse my brain is probably using to let me eat more when I travel.
It's genetics. I think it's called the set point theory. You're genetically programmed to keep a certain body fat percentage. Anything below (or above) that set point and you're body will regulate your appetite with hormones. You can manipulate this set point with things like diet or exercise, but there is only so much you can do. If you're genetically programmed to keep a body fat percentage of 25% for example you're not gonna have a lot of fun staying below 15%.
What is the bad news? It sounds like they stopped eating healthy, and got fat as a result of it.

Eating a healthy diet for two months doesn't mean you can go back to eating trash and expecting to stay healthy.
Benzodiazepines are not even first line treatments for anxiety though. More like a last resort. They are very useful in aborting panic attacks and that says a lot about the intensity of symptoms necessary to justify their use.

SSRIs and SNRIs have a much better risk/benefit profile. Sertraline in particular is a really effective drug. I don't really understand why other doctors prescribe benzodiazepines so frequently but I'm not doing it.
Ok, we've inmiced the title above.

I had to add the c-word, though ("causes"). The article uses it several times, so I suppose it's ok for the title. Please let's not repeat the usual "C is not C" business.
> Lockdowns were about allowing existing hospital capacity to work as effective as possible.

The existence of a large fanbase for "Zero COVID" ideology (including among many "public health experts"), which was actually attempted in many countries around the world, shows the arrogance with which you composed your reply to be quite misplaced.

In the summer and fall of 2020 I would bet that well over half of Americans still thought that the prudent thing to do was diligently to avoid infection until a vaccine was available, and saw lockdowns and other restrictions as wise and helpful policy measures toward that end. The reigning mentality was "COVID is really bad, but we don't need to get it if we can just hold out until the vaccines are available." The point of the lockdowns has only been revised in retrospect as it has become clear the vaccines have completely failed at preventing infection.
Assuming GP is male, he probably doesn't want to do something that might be seen as being aggressive, harassing or upsetting to her, even if not violent.

Threatening to involve the police is a common way women abuse men. You can of course involve the police yourself but they often won't listen.

I had an ex try to create a situation where I would be framed for rape by creating fake social media accounts purporting to be me. Luckily she wasn't smart and the police saw that all the accounts were obviously created by her. Yet they still didn't help protect me from further harassment or do anything to her for trying to frame me and making false police reports.

Sad as it is, probably best to just try and ignore her and consider going by an alias online and moving house.
