Hi. I'm a designer, and thought I'd spend 10 mins on this to show the little tweaks I'd reach to first. I didn't do any thinking about the content, and I haven't tried to push away from the brutalist visual style you're going for.

Type. Everything about good typography is optimising for legibility. First off, you absolutely nailed the line length. I did increase the line-height to 150%, and swapped roboto for inter. I think Inter UI is a bit easier to read at small sizes, I find roboto comes out kinda excessively bolded on most screens.

Grid / padding. I increased the padding around the card quite a bit, from like 10px to 24px. A good way to find the correct padding is putting in way too much, then pulling it down until it's starting to feel cramped, tip from refactoring ui actually. Everything is in 8px units where possible. Notice the "Welcome to" and "Hello" text are both vertically aligned.

Sizing / visual prominence. Visual prominence is just about telling people where to look first, when you first open up the page, where is the eye drawn. Considering the size of the 'Welcome to Gnod' text, I assume that's what you're trying to highlight. I've reduced the size to just 18px - only 2px bigger than the 16px body font. But, cause it's got it's own padded background colour, it's still right where the eye goes. There's lots of ways to draw attention without size, and you don't need to use more than needed. Same with the dots, I don't really get what they're for honestly, but I made them a bit smaller.

Icons, swapped them out for font-awesome icons, felt a bit more premium idk.

Colour, I changed the pure black to off-black, slightly blue. It might seem like designers just hate contrast, and that might be true. But, there's lots of arguments for using 'rich' blacks, but I won't get into it haha. My subjective choice.

Anyway, that's my 10 cents, ignore as needed haha.
This is the Texas way lately. We have had a crop of libertarian leaning authoritarians come into power and it looks like one of those things that Ajax can't take off. Eliminating regulations is the goal. No one is trying to understand how to tweak the regulations so there is a beneficial outcome to the regulation. The only ones who are supposed to benefit in Texas are those who are in need of regulatory oversight and they are the ones who control the narrative around the process so everything is devolving into a mess where there is no accountability, no oversight and plenty of money in circulation to maintain that situation.
What worked for me was starting simply. I started with one meal that I got really good at making, and then introduced another (and when I make it I make plenty extra to cover later laziness). I know roughly how many calories it is, so I barely have to think about anymore.
That's a fair view on it if you're viewing it from a domestic growth. I was viewing it from the perspective of an employee. Many of these companies are opening up proper Canadian divisions however, though it does price out many Canadian headquartered companies in the process.
>Experiments conducted by the researchers revealed that synapse loss in mice that were given a daily sleep-inducing dosage of the benzodiazepine diazepam for several weeks resulted in cognitive deficits.

I know it's only in mice, but it's pretty scary if it also has this effect in humans even when only taking it for a few weeks. Based on the title, I was initially kind of expecting something like daily use for years.

What kind of hubris would cause you to think you have more insight into my life than I do?

Your comment is extremely bad.

In its own small way, it is one of the most arrogant and incorrect things I've ever read.
There is some limited evidence that NAC can be effective for treating severe COVID-19 symptoms. However, I don't think it has been incorporated into any of the official treatment protocols.

Once you start learning about this your next visit to the grocery store you realize how much junk is really lining the shelfs.
I think you diagnosed the problem, but not in the way that you think.

We have huge price increases because the governments printed money for so long. Price increases were always predicted by free market economists. You don't make anyone wealthier by printing money. You don't build factories, make people smarter or increase resources. All it does is redistribute wealth to the first people that get to use the new money (banks and wealthy elites) and increase prices.
I think it's not about regime change as it is about slowly tearing them apart so that they can consume the remains. Russia is enormous and most of it is untouched.
You can just do the math and see how much exercise you have to do to make any difference in your weight loss. You definitely can’t “walk” your way to weight loss
Define enough. One hour workout every day? That's usually 500-1000 extra calories. It's not that hard for people to eat that much more extra, so they still put on weight.
From the article: "if the black hole’s temperature is high, the radiation is composed of all elementary particles, photons, electrons, quarks, and so on. It’s really unhealthy. And a small black hole converts energy into a lot of those particles very quickly. This means a small black hole is black basically a bomb."

The nuclear waste thrown into it may be much cleaner than the stuff it will throw back out.
Yeah, I suppose I'm overstating it. It would be better to say that when you're full time nursing, going and doing things requires planning and support.

When I was directly breastfeeding exclusively, stepping outside the house for an hour felt crazy and scary. You're right that it got easier as the baby got older, and I knew the baby wouldn't die, but I wanted to be there for him!! Who wants to leave a kid hungry when they need you? So from a practical perspective, I rarely did anything.

When I was pumping, I worried about supply and timing and what I'd left behind and if I'd make it back in time to sufficiently support everyone's biology. It was doable but I was always planning around it. Better, and now hours on end became practical, but the hassle still made it hard to want to go out. You're always worrying, if you miss your pumping appointment, if that means ultimately baby won't get enough. I mean, you know that's not true, but you worry. The practical effect for me is that something fun and easy that doesn't fit perfectly in the schedule -- like seeing a movie -- just doesn't seem worth the stress. So you never see movies.

But man, the sheer freedom of being able to tell grandma "Here's the baby, here's a box of unlimited food" and not think about it. Man. If you want to know why people make that call, I'm sure that's a factor. That's really what I mean.
I struggle to imagine how those are even related.
Yes, women really do have a harder time, at multiple levels. And there’s literally mountains of actual evidence.

One way to know when the problem is solved is when the rates of gender disparity, whatever they are, settle for a long time and are the same in all countries, and that women as a whole agree that things are fair. We’re barely ~100 years (1 human lifespan) from women having the right to vote in the US. Before that extreme cultural bias was baked into law. In some countries it still is. We’re maybe a bit over ~50 years from the start of computer science as a widespread field of academic study, the start of which involved very few women. The number of women in CS in the US went from zero to 37% in the 80s, and then went down (why?) and is now hovering around 20%. In Indian, the number of women in CS has in the recent past exceeded 50%. The fact that the numbers are changing rapidly, and that they’re different in India vs the US is proof of cultural biases.
In theory, yes, but in practice basically nobody in Texas has dehumidifiers. AC does the job well enough.

The situation you're describing can come up occasionally on mild days, but (unfortunately) Texas doesn't have many of those. It tends to go almost straight from winter to summer and vice versa.

On the rare occasion when I feel that it's too humid inside (a rainy day in spring or fall), I just turn on the AC for half an hour. It wouldn't be worth it to have a separate system for that.
Yeah. Texas is big enough that the western half of the state can be in extreme drought while the eastern half sees record rainfall and everything is green.
OP is right. A recent trend in the last 2 decades is people obsessing about nutritious and healthy food (See - https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/eating-disorders/what-is... ). (Probably because of the fear-mongering type marketing by the "health food" industry) Note: I don't claim you have Orthorexia and just mentioned it as an example to point out how something we consider as a good habit (being mindful of what we eat) can also become unhealthy and stressful for us when we do it in excess. ("Everything in moderation, including moderation" is a good principle to keep in mind).
Blown-Away Guy may be the most iconic still image, but I'd say the most iconic moving image with sound was the commercial for Memorex cassette tape with Ella Fitzgerald and the "Is it Live, or is it Memorex?" tagline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeeuT3ciqpI It was so popular, there were various sequels.
I think it's a matter of scope. Building a simple personal blog? Most developers can probably make something fairly readable and pretty with some thought and a CSS framework.

Increase the complexity to something that has more interaction with users and their data and you would do yourself a service to hire a competent designer.
IME, the trick to healthy long-term eating is to mix and match from a common palette of healthy foods/meals you enjoy.

After a few months, you’ll know the macros in everything without having to check labels, and the shopping/meal prep becomes easy because you know the right ratios of the things you buy and you’ve cooked them many times before. If a reframing might help, consider it an investment in yourself that pays off for life.
> Nobody boots up from legacy BIOS anymore

Not true at all. Plenty of people still use BIOS boot (in the data center) for things like PXEBOOT.
a proper r/place-like website sounds amazing! Thanks for making it :)
Wife switched to calories counting a few years ago. It was shocking how small the portions were.

She lost 90 pounds doing that in under a year.
I can overeat 1000 calories without even trying. It would take me 4-5 hours to walk off 1000 calories.
>I do not agree. Many users do want it. The problem is that web browsers are not written for advanced users.

How many are 'many?' I'm not aware of anyone not a programmer or web developer who even cares about any of those things. Perhaps I should have been more precise and said "the average end user." I mean, even most people on HN who talk about Geminispace just complain about how restrictive it is. It's a niche within a niche within a niche.

And I think you're just proving my point here - all of these are problems that only a subset of tech people even have.
It went from fantastic painting at age 15 to what (common people like me would call by lake of knowledge) absolute garbage at the end.
I also think HN survives bc rules are short and clearly set from the beginning, with examples and references. When an argument regarding moderation pops up, dang is quick to communicate, clarify, etc. this beats any “you violated our policies bye” strategy.
You have to be poor or very affluent to afford children in many American cities. And many of the affluent aren’t procreating.
Doesn’t work that way. Your basal metabolic rate is also increased. Squat and deadlift at least 3 plates for reps. Walk at least 20k per week. You’d have to force-feed yourself to get fat.
If you have had the luxury to learn to cook with simple ingredients, you'd not need to read labels.

Here's a shopping list for three meals, see if you can guess what they are?

1 kg apples,
1 kg other fruit in season,
White unsweetened yogurt,
Unsweetened granola,
Garlic,
1 can diced tomato (no salt, no sweetener, just tomatoes),
1 onion,
Olive oil,
150 gr dry pasta (bonus points for "integral pasta" -- don't know the translation, "pasta integrale" in Italian),
Baby spinach leaves,
Cherry tomatoes,
Risotto rice,
White wine,
Broth in powder,
Butter

Buon appetito.
is there data behind this?
Daily use of benzos is extremely bad in general - the physical addiction is not pleasant to withdraw from, and it significantly increases the risk of dementia in old age.
Eating a uniform diet every day is an easy way to get the macronutrients exactly right, but it risks deficiencies in some micronutrients. Look into the details and verify whether you're getting everything you should have, or consider adding some micronutrient supplements.
Based on title, I was hoping for an image morph of the two.
I am bothered by the author’s written use of ‘quote-unquote’ in place of actual quotes. This is a spoken form of scare quotes and takes ‘write like you talk’ too far for me.
People consume too much, a lot of calories also come from beer and alcohol. This video by Alan Thrall really put it into perspective for me.

https://youtu.be/klKAzJ4FUzg?t=715

He’s a well known power lifter who owns a gym. He walks about 20,000 steps a day and works out 4-5 days a week. He consumes ~2800 calories a day.

I’d say unless you work in manual labor or are a professional athlete you do not need to be consuming nearly this much.
I would just do the coding first and use whatever crap I have on hand (Bootstrap, standard fonts) because I want the design to follow functionality, not the other way around.

And because design takes more time than coding for me. So, if I decide that something is wrong and throw the project, this way I lose less time.
The J-20 is a twin engine fighter compared to the F-35 single engine fighter so the J-20 will outfly the F-35 in terms of speed and altitude. It is more fair to compare the J-20 vs the U.S. F-22.
We get that half dozen as what we call 'ghost calls' -- the caller has hung up by the time the outgoing message ends. It might have something to do with my putting SIT tones at the beginning of that outgoing message. If their autodialer doesn't drop the call entirely, it triggers their message, so we hear it start partway through; either way, we know not to pick up.
Well, you can also stay at L5 forever. It's a terminal level afterall. L6 typically needs at least 9 years of experience and the majority of people will never reach it. And at L6 you make half of 7 figures.

L5 still make great money and it is a multiple of what you get outside of SV. Just inflating to 7 figures is a bit exaggerated

Edit: this comment from 6 months ago provides a bit of inside view on getting L6 at Google https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28965492
PNW here, and I overheat easily (meaning I start sweating, which bothers me more than the temperature).

70 degrees F is my most comfortable indoor temp, and I try to let it go down to the 65-68 range in my bedroom for sleeping. This was true even when I lived in Los Angeles.
> So shall we stop inventing technology that draws power because it’s bad for the environment?

That wasn't my argument. My argument was that Bitcoin etc. are bad because of the power they consume when as far as I can tell almost all of what happens on these blockchains can be done far more efficiently and faster on existing technology, or in the case of transactions, existing banking infrastructure.

> People use Bitcoin and that’s why it consumes power.

I don't doubt it, it would be nice if they owned their externalities so I could stop being angry with them for it.

> Like people using air conditioning, fridges, washing machines and cars.

Things that we (realistically in modern society) need. The alternative to, for instance, washing machines would be to hand-wash clothes.

We don't need Bitcoin. It hasn't enabled anything that couldn't be done already using the banking system, or with existing non-power abusive technology.

> Furthermore, the raw KWh figure the Bitcoin network is consuming (which AFAIK currently is unknown because miners moved all around the globe in the last couple of years) is not a useful measure of its green house gas emissions as we don’t know how it’s energy is created. It could well be on renewables by large percentage as they are cheaper in some countries (e.g. hydroelectricity in Norway) and mining is expensive.

Worldwide power generation is a zero-sum game. There is limited power generation available each day. Right now even though we're trying to move to renewable or green energy, there is not enough of that to power what we need through renewables alone so we use fossil fuel.

If you removed the blockchain load from that system you could reduce the fossil fuel burn by approximately one whole country per day of load.

It doesn't matter where the generation comes from, using any of it to power what is effectively a pointless distrubuted heater is removing our ability to shift away from fossil fuels.

> I was referring to parent‘s blame of the Ukrainian war on cryptos.

Once again, that's not what I wrote. Ukraine is at war with Russia. Much of the rest of the world is at war with Russia by proxy, because most of the rest of the world is sick of Putin's bullshit.

Putin is making shit loads of money from selling Gas to Europe, especially Germany.

If we instead of running PoW blockchains, and used the far more efficient existing banking infrastructure, we could almost completely shut off all of Germany's gas from Russia (at least that portion used to generate electricity), significantly weakening his position.

It's a zero sum game. We're using renewable electricity to power bitcoin so we have to use fossil fuel for other stuff.

Plus, the whole "bitcoin runs on renewables" thing isn't entirely true https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/feb/18/bitcoin-m...

> Government regulations to support the transition to renewable energy sources have been pushing prices up for electricity and gasoline already for years, at least in Europe.

I'm pretty sure renewables are actually cheaper to produce than fossil fuels.

> Separation into female and male leagues were installed partially because of sex (so that it's fairer), but initially mainly because of gender (women must not do the same fun things we do).

I don't know all the history of it so I won't make claims about how it started. But what you're saying does not describe the reality of highschool sports as I experienced it.

I was a competitive swimmer in highschool; the team was split 50/50 between boys and girls. We all swam in the same lanes of the same pools, swimming the same practice given by the same coaches. Virtually all of us were taught how to swim by the same woman. The only separation was the locker rooms, and the competitive events during meets. The events were the same, 100m, 500m, etc, but segregated by sex. The performance gap post-puberty was immense. The fastest girl on my team, an incredible outlier with Olympic ambitions, was slower than about 5 of the guys. If the sport were blind to sex, the team probably would have had a 90/10 ratio, rather than 50/50. This would be grossly unfair to women.
uhm... yes and no.

This post fails to explain the core principle of designing websites; the content comes first, always.

1. Write: Write the content first, in google docs or whatever.
2. Edit: Go over your content, edit it. Cut it in half in possible. Remove most of the fluff.
3. Information Hierarchy: Structure your content. Go over this a few times.
4. Emphasis: Given each piece of the content, how best to emphasize it based on what its saying?

Now you're ready to think about design. Browse websites that you like and first focus on their typography. If you understand what makes good typography, you're already more than halfway there.

Obviously there's a lot more to it. My point is your content is your raw material that _needs_ designing. If your content is not good, I don't care how good your design skills are, your website will suck.
Fun but unrelated fact: 8,675,309 is a prime number.

Went from 230 to ~155 without exercise by calorie restriction alone (600-1200cal/day). It IS possible, though likely unhealthy to accomplish without exercise (I never, ask they say, consulted a doctor prior to the self-imposed restriction).

Exercise was uncomfortable until I had lost weight, now I can do 15+ mile hikes with a 60l backpack.

I don't want to discourage anyone from doing exercise at any time in their goal for weight loss, but it is possible to lose weight by calorie restriction alone.

Yes the data was not really there, I knew how enough to build the search part, but without sufficient raw data (i.e. not scraped or just via API without being able to search it directly) it would not have been possible. But that was a long time ago now. Oh well it was only a week...

This game is terrible because even yearly is too slow. The property market went up 30% in my city this past year. If I set a fair price at the beginning of the year I’m forced to sell my house at a loss. Only if guess that I should overpay by at least 30% at the beginning of the year does my house remain unsold.
Yes we can “what if” the situation to death but that’s not really of much use to anyone. The phones being described are presumably stationary without anyone throwing anything on the pile, since we’re talking about an exam environment.

Wet nurses are extremely expensive, they also introduce a variety of challenges in modern times as you must trust a stranger to carefully and correctly preserve the milk, not dilute it with anything, and be in good health without any complicating factors.

When all is said and done, milk can be purchased peer to peer at roughly 4x the cost of infant formula or between 1 and 2 dollars per oz. Purchasing through a service with some notional guarantees on the above concerns increases the cost to 5 dollars per oz. A 3-6 month old can consume 40+ oz per day.
