As a primarily backend dev, one thing that has recently helped me with my design skills is to use page builders.

I’ve found that they’ve gotten really good over the last few years and the code they generate is actually pretty solid. I’m the kind of person where I think I can tell what good design is, but I can’t actually design it from scratch myself.

I recently bought a subscription to https://shuffle.dev/ which has a page builder for tailwind, bootstrap, material, and bulma and it’s saved me a lot of time and generated some really slick looking sites.

A $20 subscription is definitely a lot cheaper than a designer and is faster than waiting for a design and then building it yourself. I’m not affiliated with them in anyway, but would highly recommend it as a part of your workflow.
If it could be hosted in a UKR city - that would be something but I'm sure the rules can be changed and another country could host it provided there was a lot of gold and blue.

The UVSC is what it is and it beautifully reflects the state of the rather nebulous concept - "Europe".
I have a bunch of thoughts for you. I fear putting them on the internet in a forum because so many people have such strong opinions and things go badly from there. So here are some things I've learned over the years.

I hesitate to put this out there, because there's lot of nuance; but, there is a way I've seen psychologists categorize people and one of the dichotomies are "moderator vs abstainer". And when you say that you have poor moderation but strong will power, that really makes me think that you're an abstainer. I know, because I am! My wife can have a spare chocolate bar in her desk for months incase she gets hungry. If I have a bar in my desk, it's gone in 5 minutes, but I have no trouble dealing with not having the bar there. That is, I'm an all-or-nothing kind of guy, she gets panicked if there's no bar there "just in case" but can not touch it for months.

That's just one example, but I've learned to just structure my life around that. For example, I just don't eat any food before noon or after 6:00PM. One simple rule, that way I can do all-or-nothing.

I work out every day regardless of how busy I am, the only reason to not workout is if I'm actually sick and working out would make it worse. Being tired, busy, not feeling like it, putting it off until tomorrow - no! It's a rule. At 5:00 I go outside, open the garage door, pick up some kettlebells and do something for 20-30 minutes. When it's 20 degrees outside and blowing snow, I'm out there. When it's 80 degrees and direct sun, I'm out there. It's a rule, I do it.

As for what to eat - here's where I'm going to get into lots of trouble, because internet. But here's _what works for me_. I only eat meat - and of that 90% is simply grass-fed beef. Grains make me sick, veggies have enough carbs in them to kick my appetite and then my all-or-nothing kicks in. Beef has all the nutrients you need. It doesn't stimulate the appetite, it gets boring so you don't eat constantly. And it's super nutritious. Between noon and 6, I eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full. No weighing or measuring or counting. It takes all of the anxiety away.

I know the green folks will go all what about sustainability? But I just do local regeneratively ranched beef, so don't yell at me about that! Even if you have to go CAFO meet because location or economics, beef is your best choice for nutrition and sustainability.

I've been doing this for nearly a decade so it is something I have been able to easily keep up with - even with a family and kids and all of that. I'm super healthy, so it works _for me_.

I'm 45, well within the body weight I should be, much stronger and healthier than all my peers, and have no struggles with the emotional side of eating and trying to "diet"

I'm not saying that this is your answer, but maybe look into something like that. I've been struggling with an all-or-nothing mindset for a long time, and this was a great solution.

Good luck!
I take a half tablet (10mg) of Xanax every once in awhile. (Maybe once a month on average).

It makes me feel so relaxed.

I knew it was too good to be true.
> Another problem I've seen at work with the "design first" approach vs planning for technical feedback on an initial design: our frontend engineers would take the design and implement it exactly as is, papering over differences between the data entry and the underlying data model as needed — then users get confused about what exactly each option or interaction does. It's close enough to be serviceable (and not get fixed) but different enough to be annoying.

This is where you should design wireframes first (e.g. rough greyscale sketches), turn them into clickable prototypes (Figma and InVision let you link up wireframes this way), and get feedback on these from user testing and the developers before creating high-definition designs or doing any coding.
Yes. I believe it’s a fundamental right of a society to choose its government, and to overthrow a government that doesn’t properly represent them. Using whatever means necessary. Whether that’s Ukraine, Taiwan, Catalonia, Scotland, or Śląsk.
Oh, I didn't know.
During lockdown, I ended up adopting roughly that eating schedule unintentionally -- just because my routine didn't have a "breakfast" gap.

It did not work for me at all, I gained SO MUCH weight, because by lunchtime I was ravenous and couldn't stop myself from eating way, way, way more than I would have if I split between breakfast and lunch. I mean, it was also a stressful time, so it's hard to compare, but I put on 20 pounds in a few months, after having been stable weight for 5-6 years.

I started forcing myself to get up earlier and have a breakfast of around 350ish calories (basically a bowl of cereal or oatmeal or something with milk), and that allowed me to immediately stop the weight gain, because I removed probably 750+ calories of "excess" lunch in exchange. Still struggling to lose what I gained, but I've been stable for 18+ months since I made space for breakfast.

It's really interesting how individual some of this stuff ends up seeming. For example, I have learned that I can not be a stable weight (at any weight, it seems) if I drink sugared drinks with food. It seems that if I have a sugary drink with my food, I actually feel the urge to eat more food in addition to the calories in the drink, leading to a massive downward (well, upward in weight) spiral. I almost completely cut out sugary drinks from my life when I figured this out. (I now have maybe two or three sweet drinks per month on average. I haven't lost any weight this way, but I have regained stability).

I am a firm believer that the real solutions to the obesity epidemic are all going to be around helping people control their hunger sensation (be that with dietary changes, coaching and counselling, routine changes, chemistry or other medical intervention). Learning how much you should eat to be the weight you want to be isn't that hard. Spending about a third of your concentration power at all times to avoid the overpowering urge to raid the pantry, on the other hand, is really hard.

I'm glad you found something that works for you. I'm still working on finding it for myself, though I did manage to stop the bleeding at least.
> I tell everyone to never take benzos for any reasons

You can't generalise your experience. Everybody is different and that's the doctor's job to assess whether the benefits outweigh the cost, considering the patient and their problems.

Personally, I've been taking benzos very occasionally for 20 years (never more than a few days at a time) and they helped me overcome difficult times. Never had the slightest addiction or side effects.

> Treat the cause, not the symptoms.

Easier said than done
Have you researched why those regulations came about?

I took it for two months for sleep and had no issues quitting it besides a few nights of taking longer to fall asleep.
I take phenibut about 1x/week, I have been for about 2 years now. I think it's generally pretty OK for me, though I've started to worry that it impacts my memory a touch, at the edges.

Do not take drugs every day. For real. I don't want to victim-blame but it is wild that you expected to be able to be able to take drugs daily for weeks without withdrawals. As a rule of thumb, unless you intend to be on it forever (e.g. caffeine), you should never take anything more than maybe 2 days out of 7 in the week. Psychoactive drugs are not like aspirin, where you dabble a bit as necessary.

Phenibut is serious stuff. Nobody would say "I had only been drinking a pint of vodka every day for a few weeks before I realized I might have to deal with withdrawals."
Thank you for informing us of the fact that you take benzos with alcohol in your system.

Self PSA that probably nobody should take your opinions seriously.
Counting calories may not be correct and useful advice for most people. It ignores what the calories do in your body. As an absurd example, sand is very calorically dense, and you'll lose a lot of weight and then die if it's all you eat. Telling people they "eat too much" is usually ineffective, it just makes people feel bad that they can't tolerate hunger.

Ketosis will work (it's very low carb, not zero carb). You (as in you personally) won't be able to do it, you likely lack the willpower, and if you're social, it's difficult to do in a social setting, especially without taking a deep dive into the science to help understand the how and the why.

OIC, yeah, now whilst its not Helter Skelter, Fantazia or something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOMT3bRJXOo I think The Prodigy discography perhaps best mirrors the evolution of the music scene & mood in the UK through this time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSTBFZ-To2E

What alot of people dont know is its probably MI5 we have to thank for Ecstasy and the US Army. So the US Army rediscovered it and the spooks flooded the country to stop the fighting on the football terraces (no seating back then) as depicted in films like Football factory, but MI5 will deny it as it also spawned the darker side like the film Essex Boys.

If any whole country gave up candy then they'd save a lot in direct cost and even more in related costs (diabetes, etc.) that they could certainly help feed many many people. Sure, the effect of one person not eating candy is easily lost, but I spend a few pounds a month myself on sweets (ie candy, I'm from the UK). I know that money could likely feed someone in a developing nation for a month.

It's so easy to tell ourselves that each small contribution adds to zero, but as someone noted elsewhere in this thread, calculus should tell us enough to be wary of dismissing little bits!
Your advice is not actionable. I know several people including myself who were simply unable to action it for longer than the two months that anyone can stick to any diet.

If you are capable of sticking to a diet that literally brings you to tears on a daily basis, then sure, but do realise that you're probably in about the top percentile of willpower. (I imagine you were not in fact brought to tears by this diet, or you wouldn't be recommending it; in which case you may not be aware that it's not a panacea.)
Matt says ‘According to Healthy Babies Bright Futures, baby formula made by the big guys in the U.S. is full of dangerous brain-altering heavy metals. HBBF tested thirteen different baby formulas, and every single one had “detectable levels of arsenic, cadmium, lead and/or mercury,” which are all considered to be neurotoxic, interfering with brain development and “causing permanent IQ reductions in children.”’.

Rather unscientific heavy breathing about heavy metals, since some level must exist in all foods. Matt even links to a mommyhood101.com article in the above, which I guess is the secondary source for his opinion?

The question is: what are reasonable limits to exposure for babies? For example, what are the EU limits for baby formula?

Here is the original “paper”: https://www.healthybabyfood.org/sites/healthybabyfoods.org/f...

Healthy Babies Bright Futures (HBBF) paid laboratories to measure amounts, but superficially their analysis looks rather poor I think. Any good links to scientific critiques of their analysis?

> but that is when you get the bootstrap-material-tailwind look and that is not so great either now, is it

The crux of your argument rests on this point and I think it's worth taking a step back and realizing that this is subjective and also that many people think the bootstrap-material-tailwind look is actually pretty good if not great.

It probably looks like crap to your trained eye but if the average person can't tell if something is wrong then it's probably just fine. I've seen a lot more cases of overzealous designers trying something custom and new and having it fail. Boring technology is often the best kind.
DJI and third parties sell equipment to track drones and even locate the pilot easily. These are available for a few thousand dollars and were meant to protect airspace such as around an airport but of course they can also be used by militaries to target an enemy.

In fact the DJI system [1] will see a drone as soon as its powered on even if it isn't even flying.

In the end any drone pilot sending signals can be tracked and the only way around this is to fly a drone completely autonomously with way points and only receive video from it. Some open source firmwares and controllers support such features.

Update: this is incorrect.

The cone becomes very hot stream of molten copper. It melts through the steel plate, much like a jet of hot water melts through a block of ice.

This happens fast enough that much heat does not have the time to escape from the impact site, despite high thermal conductivity of metals. The high pressure created by the explosion keeps the jet compressed from sides, too, so it does not fragment easily.

Various kinds of "active armor" trigger the munition by a thinner layer of metal well ahead of the real thick armor plate, then produce counter-explosions to break the jet.
it's less frequent but people can get addicted to pregabalin too.

High blood pressure and anxiety can both cause similar symptoms. Tightness in the chest, for example. Your body tends to mistake one for the other.

Treating high-blood pressure with an ACE inhibitor (which does not treat anxiety) can reduce anxiety simply by relieving symptoms that feel like anxiety.

Beta blockers have the nice effect of directly treating both anxiety and high blood pressure.
Navarro's book Compact Data Structures is an excellent survey of this literature! https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/compact-data-structures...

I love the perspective of computing the information theoretic lower bounds for a data structure and then trying to achieve that with as little overhead as possible while still supporting efficient operations on the structure.

I think the MK4's were technically the best on paper but from what I've read they were only sold in Japan. Dont forget things like leaded solder is no longer used today.

Maybe one day but dont have the time for it.
The explosive is stable (small cubes of most plastic explosive can even be lit on fire and act as fuel). But there is still danger in correctly handling/connecting the detonator. I'm not sure, but I thing the acceleration charge might be a less stable type as well (obviously they aren't going to give us step by step instructions).
There are a lot of ways to compare these numbers, and I think "absolute dollar amount" is not particularly enlightening among them.

On a per-project percentage basis, the parent's story wasted ~100% of the project's budget. The same number for California's unemployment fraud is less than 2% (the program totaled about $110B).

$300M was wasted in an organization that serves (completely spitballing here) maybe ~500k people among all its customer organizations?
The California government serves ~40M California residents.

In any case, government waste is likely orders of magnitude more easily uncovered than even public companies' waste. And when we find out, we can lobby for change and vote for policies that adjust the process to hopefully result in less waste.

But when Coca-Cola overpays 10x for some highly-connected contracting firm to build them some shoddy CRUD software for an internal process we'll probably never heard about it due to a combination of lack of transparency and lack of reporting interest. If we do hear about it, there is no real avenue for lobbying for the change of Coca-Cola policy.

That's not even mentioning that Coca-Cola's entire existence could be (rightfully, in my mind) considered corporate waste because their products actively harm the world, which is a claim much more difficult to apply to the DMV or the California government as a whole.

The exchange rate isn't much of a factor - since you're paying for goods in CAD$ anyway and purchasing power isn't hugely different. Some categories are considerably more expensive, like your internet bill, but for most people (and at the incomes in consideration) it's a rounding error.

Tax rate-wise (at the range of incomes we're talking about, which is to say mid 6-figures) you'd compare favorably to income-taxed states like CA, NY, or NJ. In particular whole categories of spending either go away or are greatly reduced due to the presence of things like universal healthcare, which adds to the competitiveness of disposable income. When I lived in NY I did a quick modeling of what my taxes would be like for the equivalent income in Canada and it shook out to basically even.

In comparison to no income tax states like TX the situation is considerably less favorable, though depending on your life situation there might be factors that nudge you in Canada's favor (high healthcare spend, high private education spend, high college tuition spend, etc.)

Loitering anti-tank munitions are basically just that--a drone with shaped charges that fire down. Russia actually has a mine that detects the seismic profile of a tank rolling nearby, launches a drone (of sorts) into the air, and shoots a shaped charge right down into the tank (where there's very little armor compared to the sides): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqtFhqSNubY
It's not actually liquid, it only behaves like one on impact due to the magnitude of the forces. It's more accurate to say it erodes through the armor instead of melting.

Land values vary from place to place, but I can't think significant pockets of middle class housing in developed countries where the value of the underlying land is as insignificant to the homeowners' net worth as natural resources are to Facebook's market cap.

If we plug in something approaching real data, the UK government statistics agency assesses that the UK has £6tr in land value (more than the value of the assets that sit on it!) of which two thirds is owned by householders. And there's an annual government budget of 1tr so those land value taxes are going to be a really high proportion of the total value of the land (and property that sits on it). Good luck convincing the average homeowner who takes 30 years to pay for their home from their salary and typically retires not long afterwards that the tax incidence of a Single Tax will be favourable to them

Maybe that's what happens but the video explains it as a stream of copper (not molten?) that pushes the steel out of the way.
This has been very apparently true for a long time. I'm really curious what changed in the last 6 weeks or so to the narrative plan that saying it went from "disinformation" so dangerous that you got unpersoned to being so obviously true that it appears in mainstream publications.

I mean, I guess it's great that we're allowed to point out the truth now -- though of course you're still not allowed to say that people should consider not getting booster doses.

My local county's public health department has been tracking infection rates by number of vaccine doses for a fairly long time. The unvaccinated have the highest rate of infection (per capita), but among the vaccinated, interestingly, the more doses you've had the higher your risk of infection. It wasn't always that way -- the graph showed that folks with a booster dose did better than folks without for about two months after the boosters came out -- but ever since then, it's been a very clear curve, more doses = more covid (but any doses is better than zero doses)
There's that bumper sticker: "I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one".

I mean, I know that the lawyers and finance people would create such convoluted ownership structures that forcing a company out of existence and liquidating its assets would be meaningless, but apart from that detail, it has a certain appeal in the way many ideas that fit on a bumper sticker do.
