What I find interesting is that most actual people with cancer don't feel that way. They find meaning in their life, however short, and are glad to have gotten experienced it. It's only cynical people online that think life would be so unredeemably awful that it's better to have never existed. Similarly, you'll often see people on the internet say they don't believe God could possibly exist because there are many people starving around the world. Yet most of the starving poor in the world is religious, often very much so.
Yep, I totally agree. Terminating a much-wanted pregnancy for medical reasons is also tragic. There's no good way to lose a child.
"You need a ton of focus to succeed overall, not just math. I think people tend to get distracted by things as they get older."

So, what is the argument supposed to be here, that only renters can focus and succeed?

This feels like it's getting totally ridiculous.
Pretty soon, ie now in Pakistan and India, the wet bulb temperature, a measure of realtime humidity and temperature, will regularly exceed 120 degrees, at which point it becomes too hot for the human body to physically cool itself with sweat. Our climate is changed and changing now. It was cooler in Florida 10-20 years ago, let alone centuries ago. It's hotter now. When hundreds of millions are starving, flooded, overheated, dried out, or otherwise displaced, how do you think life will be going for those without fucking air conditioning.
There was a lightning talk about a Spanish Python at PyCon earlier this month: https://youtu.be/xQ0-aSmn9ZA?t=34
> Are people in those neighborhoods willing to forgo the hundreds of vehicle trips a month that they will create via their Uber/Lyft/cab trips and Instacart, Amazon, Chewy, Doordash, and Uber Eats orders?

Walkable neighborhoods existed for millennia before these apps were invented. People just walked to a shop a block away for the things they needed. Not sure why you think that you have to "outsource those car trips to someone else" when many neighborhoods already don't need car trips at all.

I live car-free in the DC metro area. I ride a bicycle with a rack on the rear for attaching bags, I have a collapsible shopping cart that I can take on the bus, and I have a dolly for moving heavy objects short distances. I've gotten a lot done with them.
Farmers aren't salespeople. They often don't want to deal with the hassle of selling a part here, a part there. You want a tenderloin? What is the farmer supposed to do with the rest of it?

Far easier, more predictable and less wasteful of the animals to sell the entire lot to processors, who then deal with butchering, packaging and distributing individual cuts for them.

I could do one off short term programming contracts, but my customers would definitely pay much more for the overhead of me making a living that way vs simply getting a salaried job.
Some of the best medical schools in the world have adopted pass / fail. Either you are good enough to be a doctor or you are not. That makes a lot of sense to me.

Harvard is one example in the US and McMaster is an example in Canada. Neither place has students competing to be most lazy.
Of course. I'm about as economically precarious as I was at 21. Moreso since I don't have the social safety net I used to, a lot of folks declared "mission accomplished" when Biden took office. (I deeply regret attempting to make a go at "civil" society, but then again, I also found out several out and proud sociopaths are part of the HCI community I was introduced to as a teenager)

I'd expect to see civil unrest like the yellow vest protests in France and more terror attacks like the one in Texas, since folks seem to be becoming exactly the folks they hated in the 2000s.

That sounds like reasonable analysis, but I do want to point out I was thinking much shorter term -- like literally in the last 3 years and this situation specifically.

This has been looked at; the electricity savings of more efficient programming are too small to be worth it with a fixed compute capacity. However, if you can reduce the amount of machines or machine-time you require, that can become material.
For someone who kinda wants this stuff but doesn't feel great about spending 200 bucks for 15 buttons and all the garbage that goes with...

an idea I had last week seeing this article is to buy a USB 10-key numpad from a pawn shop, and use something like kmonad[0] to map key presses from that device to specific actions.

Reuse some existing tech, and you can just tape over buttons. It's not exactly the same product for obvious reasons, but I feel like you can do some magic with statusbars and toasts in scripts to get something decent.

I recommend this book:

https://www.glassner.com/portfolio/deep-learning-a-visual-ap...

It goes over the basics in the first half to make sure you have a foundation to understand the deep learning stuff.

And don't feel bad if there are gaps in your math. Go to khan academy or youtube and fill in the gaps. The most important thing is to find exercises and do them yourself, watching videos and lectures help understand the big picture but you'll never internalize them without doing the work.

I think in any kind of knowledge, math, music, art, etc... the biggest limitations come from people not knowing the basics deeply. Don't just work on stuff until you get it, or it clicks, keep going until it's so boring it's automatic. It will feel slower but you'll ultimately learn faster as you won't eventually hit walls.
The idea of a federal gas tax holiday has apparently been floating around DC lately, but I'm pretty skeptical that they'll be able to return to full taxes without significant pushback.

Let's stay on eating for a sec:

When I was about 3, I suddenly rejected most of my mom's cooking. Probably most parents can relate to that :)

Was I emulating some other kid who ate different things? No, and you'll have to take my word on that. It had to do with my relationship with her (and that's all I'm saying about that on the interwebs). I didn't watch enough TV to have picked
it up from "society" and none of the kids I knew acted like that.

I can see that if a modern teen-aged girl suddenly announces she's a vegan, that is probably peer-influenced. But this wasn't that.

We could go back even earlier in child development to show the absurdity of a single-factor theory of desire. You can be generous and say he doesn't really mean that, but you still have his actual words to ignore.

I'll concede that Girard may have some useful theories for certain situations, and so did Karl Marx and Friedrich Hayek and Sigmund Freud and lots of other thinkers.
Extension/Library for Finding Libraries?
I know this might be a weird question to submit, but this is something that has been bothering me for a while.

After working sometime on a complex sequences of actions to solve a particular problem, I found a library that basically did what I was trying to do, in a more concrete way and with edge cases that I had not considered

So I started thinking that this is not the first time something like this has happened to me, so I ask, is there any kind of tool that, after analyzing your code could give you a recommendation of a library that is similar enough that it could help in your particular problem? Or if not how difficult it could be to make one?

I feel like it's almost impossible because it needs to analyze the "intention" behind the code and not necessarily the code itself, but I wanted to ask if anyone has the knowledge about something similar

In the US, the federal gas tax has been 18.4 cents per gallon since 1993.

If anything, they are losing money with inflation and the decreased demand that higher fuel prices will create.
Because the things he says are contradictory, often very vague, and often extremely naive, either intentionally or unintentionally, regarding how hard it is to moderate content. As numerous industry leaders have pointed out, people on the Left think the Left is getting overly censored, people on the Right think the right is getting overly censored, in actuality it's an extremely complex system and the site admins just want people to stop threatening each other. Musk, however, has made it very clear that he feels the Right is being censored, and he will fix that, which doesn't bode well for people on the Left.

I'm hoping that if Musk actually does end up buying twitter, it leads to larger uptick for Mastodon.
Pihole only see dns query. It doesn't see the full url. On the other hand, ad block extensions can see the whole url and can decide to block them while allowing other requests to the same domain through.

I think you should install both though. Pihole can block ads on apps, and can block CNAME cloaking.

It's a personal opinion more than anything. I see Clojure getting attention but it isn't going to replace Node.js or .NET any time soon.

The major difference being the ecosystem built around something like C# is miles ahead of anything available for even Clojure. Some people might think that's an advantage, but for people like me whose job is to be pragmatic and "git er dun" it's a major impediment.

Hence, lisp has become a kind of toy from a golden age. I find myself reaching for C# or Python for experiments. I have dabbled in lisp occasionally over the years but never found Clojure very compelling.

Because poor Smalltalkers often extend stupid things like "Object" and none of their code will run on your image without finding all the changes they made.

So you either try to file out your own changes and merge into somebody elses image, or try to extract theirs for your image.

I realise the state of the art must have moved on since the 1990s but change files back then were a constant source of problems along with how you deploy your image once you are happy with it.

Contrast that with pip or npm. Once I've built my requirements.txt or whatever, I have not only solved how to share my environment with my collaborators, I can use it to build a Docker container and also solve my deployment dependencies.

Smalltalk: play whack-a-mole with change sets until it looks like it's working then strip the image of unwanted stuff and hope it still works. It's caveman stuff.
You're right. Cathie Wood's ARK is all about "disruptive innovation". It's no surprise to see the fund falling after tech. stocks were so grossly inflated.

I agree. A volume of commits to get to a workable/reviewable PR is in relation to the code quality and ease of change of the codebase. If I made 20 some odd commits to get to a good working PR (which you compare with develop, or main, or whatnot) you only see the complete change view, not the individual.

I think it’s something to discuss. Why did it take so many commits? Is our testing broken? Is our runtime broken? Or is it the fact that we programmed in a lot of hard coded values that only work on the codebase owners machine? Hmmmm…

I didn't come up with the degrowth thesis myself but I will entertain the question even if you've answered it yourself.

The question doesn't really matter. Whether we want it or not, economics will ultimately be subject to the laws of physics. We cannot sustain infinite growth on a planet with finite resources and carrying capacity. We've known this as far back as 1966 when Kenneth Boulding touched on these ideas in his essay "The Economics of the Coming Spaceship Earth" [0].

Holding the global north accountable for their footprint is to me one of sanest and most civilized pathways considering the ensuing implications of alternative scenarios.

(RE: The Worm) First thing I thought was, what if it gets stuck? Turns out, that's already happened; the 272nd recipient had clipboard hijacking malware that changed the address they'd copied for sending it to, so the original NFT is stuck at the malware's destination address.[0] The organizers had anticipated this and used a feature in the smart contract to remove the worm from the on-blockchain image of the original NFT, as a symbolic way of invalidating it.[1] (Is this an example of "overpowered owner"?) I couldn't find anything else about the implementation, except that it's called "yoink" and that the ambition.wtf site mentions "yoink-chain Smart Contract mechanics".

[1] https://medium.com/ambition-wtf/the-worm-meets-its-first-cha...

Strangely, the original NFT,[2] linked from another Medium post, now contains the worm again. But the rest of the image also differs from the screenshots in the post, so perhaps they added the worm back after starting the next iteration[3] as an acknowledgement that the original is stuck for good.

Also, I get that it's an art thing, but what is it with the...weird (IMO)...tone? I feel like I also see it elsewhere in NFT-related writing. Reminds me of lesswrong for some reason.

Stupid bugs caused me to move away from them, conveniently only days before the breach became public.

Bug #1 was when they stopped supporting 32-character SSIDs, so my main network called "Smart Meter Surveillance Network" suddenly was no longer editable. Switching routing platforms is easier than setting up all my devices again.

Bug #2 was the one I wrote up here on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/UNIFI/comments/ghs4bg/arp_for_clien...), which was where ARPing for a client on a meshed wireless AP, from the wired network, would fail. If the client was on a non-meshed AP, it worked.

I expect better from my network, so I dumped Unifi and went to OPNsense on a fanless PC.

> They're usually some of the best dubs (across all languages), but obviously still noticeably dubs.

Maybe, but the issue is, that they now sound like German actors. Who suck. I’m German and I almost didn’t watch Dark because I expected it to be as unnatural sounding as any other German show. I’ve heard that it’s because actors here learn acting for theater instead of for TV, but I’m not sure if that explains it (amongst other things, because Dark did not have that issue).

IMO the best dubs are from the Nordic countries, those often speak English well enough that they just dub themselves, and that really shows in the quality of the dubbing. Israel is another country where I’ve heard great dubs by the actors themselves.

> unique digital assets are fun to create, collect, and trade without having to make money on them.

There's no such thing as a "unique digital asset". Networked computers are good at sharing copies. Any developments against this nature are manufactured, artificial scarcity, for the gains of the controlling party, at the expense of everyone else; and probably in the name of security.

If you like them so much I can roll a die and tell only you which number I got, but that wouldn't affect the world in any way unless we're gambling, nor make it any less "unique" than crypto - it's just more bits/dice.
