Most images are still JPEG (3 decades old) or PNG (2.5 decades old). Countless better formats have been developed, but with the exception of WEBP we are still using the same image formats that existed during the dot-com bubble. Ubiquity trumps improvements in image size.

Better encoders for JPEG or PNG are the main avenues how you can achieve improvements without compatibility problems, and I think that will stay true for another decade, if not more.

Let’s try going from contrary. You said 2 in 72. Imagine a situation when it’s 72 in 72, which means, 72 years straight, each year had a three-year streak. This doesn’t make any sense. Surely the maximum amount of three-year groups in 72 years is far fewer than 72.
Wish I could help you but I'm not a therapist myself.

One thing I really have to assure you of however: there IS a way to feel energetic after a workout, you just haven't found it yet.

Had the same problem, eventually got fed up and went to physiotherapy and doctors to see if something's wrong with me -- and yes, actually there are a few things wrong with me that prevent me from reaping more benefits of exercise.

I'm working hard on addressing these deficiencies (one of them is a pre-diabetic condition; it's absurdly hard to reverse this thing).

Treat your health like a program that both has a bug and broken dependencies: you have to do a deep dive to solve the problem.

Please don't give up. The fight is very hard but the result is worth it. I'm probably 10% into my journey and I already know I'm never giving up.

'Post-scarcity' on a finite planet with a growing population? The only way out of that is to go off-planet and that's not plausible anytime soon at any scale.

The ultimate scarcity is the scarcity of arable land and raw materials to host a human population. Some of the major conflicts over the 20th century in this area have revolved around land reform and land ownership, whether it was breaking up feudal estates and redistributing land to peasants (Russian Revolution) or expansionist ideologies (Germany's 'Push to the East' for 'lebensraum', aka 'settler colonialism' which was also a feature in America's 'Manifest Destiny').

The United States is again setting the stage for such conflicts with the majority of young people being priced out of the housing market. Homeownership rates shot up after FDR's New Deal reforms, and there was a brief peak in 2004 before a sustained collapse that showed some signs of recent recovery:

https://dqydj.com/historical-homeownership-rate-united-state...

It's fairly skewed by age and this increasing (probably high student loan debt being a major factor), i.e. homeowners are getting older and fewer young people are buying homes:

Downtown Raleigh has definitely changed for the better even if, like a lot of similar cities, the gentrified core with its craft cocktails and trendy restaurants is fairly small.

I'd also say NYC--for all the complaints about Disneyfication. As a visitor, I'd much rather have today's 42nd Street, Lower East Side, Chelsea, etc. than I would the 1980s version. People have certainly been priced out but, then, it's not like Manhattan was cheap even in the 80s.

While I agree with your point to a degree, I think you are taking it to an extreme. Government policy may lay ground rules, like private property, but 99% of any given agreement, like equity for cash, is precedence and preference, not legislative decision.

The government could stop passing any new laws and things would chug along fine for quite a while. I think that was the parent's point. We don't need anything new out g Washington, as driving prices to 0 is already pretty strongly incentivized.

I lived in Austin and dined at dozens of highly rated/reco'ed restaurants from food trucks to high end. My conclusion is that Austin does not have great food (though I do agree with your conclusion on breakfast tacos). This is not a uniform conclusion of course–Uchi and Barley Swine are in fact legit.
the more you do it, the more your body will adapt and then after smaller workouts, say a 30min run in the morning, you will start feeling energized instead of tired, as your time to tire yourself out increases over time.
I have to say that I kinda like the feeling of achievement afterwards and also like feeling sore and tired for some reason. That's also the only time when I allow myself unhealthy food nowadays and don't even feel bad about it. I lost 10kg and am fitter at 40 then ever before.
I have a script that cURL's each line from "feeds.txt" every 3 minutes, and dumps the new links in "new.txt".

Then there's a button on my dashboard that opens all of those items in new tabs at once (sometimes a dozen or more!), and also moves them to "seen.txt", which is ignored when fetching new items.

It's as simple as it sounds. I created it when Google Reader died, and has served my needs perfectly so far.
In Colorado I saw gummies and candies ranging from 5 to 25mg per piece. Chocolate bars with up to 100MG per bar (the size of a typical chocolate bar).

Yes. It really is the only way to keep up with blogs that update intermittently. Stuff like Twitter and Facebook leave you at the mercy of an algorithmic sort or just happenings to stumble upon it in a river of other content.
They sound a lot more trustworthy to me for owning up to it and spelling it out literally. That makes it sound like an isolated incident that they're able to recognize as a problem publicly.

When a company does a standard "we take your privacy very seriously" non-response right after demonstrating that they do not, in fact, take it very seriously, it makes it sound like they're not willing to acknowledge the problem at all.
Any kind of self-promotion is unpleasant, except to other self-promoters. For them its competitive. And yes, this includes the virtue emojis on Twitter and GitHub.
This comment didn’t need the random dig at trans people.
We tried Zulip a couple times and ended up setting up a Matrix server when Slack became unbearable. The advantages of being able to federate with other channels is high, like almost everyone I have severe channel overload and I want an application which will be open all the time to reach as many people as possible.

It's almost coincidence, though, both Zulip and Matrix became 'good enough' around the same time, and we actually tried to move to Zulip at one point, which I think hardened opinions. I do like the semi-threaded approach Zulip takes, just not as much as I like even the possibility of a future where I can use Matrix for as much as possible.

What Ancient Stone “Swiss Army Knives” Mean
This doesn't make sense at the micro level though. You have (let's say) half a dozen oil companies all producing roughly x BBL for $y/BBL. What's to stop Company A, who has the means to do so already, from simply producing 1.1x BBL and keeping its price at $y?

At a macro level yes, if everyone increases supply 10% you'll see some price fluctuation, but that doesn't necessarily hold for an individual, self-interested company. Hell, that company could produce 10% more but sell it for $y-0.05 and presumably make more money selling for cheaper.
The night life in Austin is precisely nothing like New Orleans on the slowest day there, let alone during Mardi Gras.

The food is pretty decent if you avoid the suburban strip malls. I can think of several world class restaurants within walking distance of me.

It’s definitely not Houston in terms of the range of options, but then again has a quarter of the population, so that is to be expected.

And as someone who grew up in dreary London weather, the heat just doesn’t bother me at all. Definitely have to stock up on the Zyrtec though, but this is the first year having even here for many.

Climbing is an interesting one for me too. When our child was two+ I'd let him climb as high as he was capable of. I'd stand under him when he got "too high", but basically if he could climb high, and wanted to, I'd let him.

My only restriction was that I'd always help him down, but I'd never help him up. If he wasn't capable of reaching higher ropes, or branches, then I'd not assist him at all. I'd just say "If you can't reach it's too much for you". But I'd always be on-hand if he said "Daddy I'm stuck" or "Daddy down! down!"

I didn't realize for several months that when his mother was taking him to the park she said "Not so high", and limited him quite significantly.

I know head-injuries can be very (very) serious, but I was kinda surprised at the number of parents who'd say no. (For that matter broken arms and legs are serious too, but I guess I figured they probably wouldn't happen.)

To his credit I've never seen him fall, although these days I wince at times when he jumps from higher distances than I think are prudent.

Absolutely! It's the only way I get my news. I have FreshRSS self-hosted on a Pi with an nginx reverse proxy front end. I either access it from the FreshRSS web UI or from Reeder on my phone.

This is a very specific question but I thought I'd ask it here on the chance someone might have a good answer.

I've been slowly working my way through this course and I ran into an issue recently when I upgraded my OCaml installation to the latest version (4.13.1). With this version I find that the simple instructions for building an executable with dune (especially one that uses OUnit) given here https://cs3110.github.io/textbook/chapters/data/ounit.html no longer work.

It seems dune now requires you to initialize a project. Does anyone know how to translate the instructions in the course to the current version of dune ?

I realize I could install an opam switch for the previous version but I'd rather be working with the latest one.

Just hoping someone might be able to save me an hour or so figuring this out on my own.
I agree.

If the extension availability is the main concern, I'd recommend the open source StackGres [1] operator, which has, possibly, the largest Postgres extension catalog [2] available.

I definitely think it's learnable. I think for many people it's a mindset. After a particularly heavy lunch, sometimes I'll get the urge to go lie down. In those cases, I can be asleep within minutes after putting my head on the pillow/couch.

The key for me is to be mindful that I'm trying to relax.

At night, I can often find myself laying awake for hours. The quickest way to fall asleep in those instances is to turn on something I find relaxing and close my eyes. Note: what I find relaxing isn't stereotypical all of the time. Recently, I've been listening to people scream at each other about online politics. Other times it's smooth jazz. Do what works for you that day.

Routines and habits are also very powerful. If you want to take a nap after lunch, try and lie down every day after lunch. After a few days of repeatedly taking a lunch nap, your body will naturally start to fall into that habit and it will get easier to fall asleep. I'm guessing habit is largely what drives the siesta culture in many places.
Too much process, too many meetings, too little real work.
It is slow. Sometimes it even completely fails to reflect updates in the UI after you confirm and the infinite scroll used for dashboards often fails to load swimlanes without telling you.

Killing an animal for meat is not cruelty. We eat meat. It comes from animals. The alternative is to eat the meat while the animal is alive, which is how it is normally done in the natural world. That is cruelty. A cruelty that humans do not bestow on their food.

It's a useful vector for things like malware because an intermediate scanning service can't examine the attachment without having both emails. If there's a concern about some PII or whatever being intercepted in transit, it should help with that too.
>If you want to have a career in tech, for example, you pretty much to live in one of 5 or 6 highly expensive cities, because you won't be taken seriously if you live anywhere else.

That is complete BS. Certainly it is among the tech people I know. Furthermore, even those tech offices that are in the orbit of certain cities often aren't in those cities and are located in, not cheap, but pretty reasonably priced areas outside.
What happened to Yosefk? Looks like his last post was mid 2019.
Sleeping a thread doesn't "choose" when something happens, the programmer does. Sleep functions are just abstractions over hardware timer interrupts. There's some inherent complexity there, and abstracting it away is naturally going to impose some limits or compromises. Windows' "sleep" function seems to be especially limited, but being able to precisely schedule a CPU thread to a hardware timer is important for solving a lot of interesting problems. As you push a program to its limits, of course you'll need to carefully choose the abstractions that most optimally achieve your requirements given the available hardware. I agree that bare sleep style functions rarely make sense. Blocking select-style calls with a timeout often do, though, which are largely equivalent to sleep.

The whole point of a CPU is to be general purpose. A CPU isn't optimal for anything. The magic of a computer is that it makes "anything" possible. Why would you want to ban sleep? If somebody makes a crappy arcade game with terrible latency and jitter, good for them. Someone not yet familiar with the nuances of "sleep" will learn a lot faster building some crappy but functional programs than they will trying to learn a modern graphics API. A seasoned expert will readily barf out a crappy program with some sleep calls in it when they know it's good enough to solve the problem at hand.
how is it decentralized?
> for example, our new storage engine can address 100 TiB of storage using only 1 GiB of RAM.

I’m a little confused by this statement. I assume by “address” you mean indexing, and the size of an index is related to the number of entries, not the amount of data being indexed. (For example, you could trivially address 100TiB using 1 address width of memory if all 100TiB belongs to the same key).
Centralized exchanges are a necessity. Who can you trust to trade into and out of fiat? Who can you trust to make a exchange? Who can you trust to use security that works with your wallet? Sure there are decentralized exchanges but how much does anyone trust those, and how decentralized are they really? What happens if those go down? Hell most people don’t buy their own crypto just because they don’t trust random websites that claim to have secure wallets let alone that if they make a non-reversible transaction that the other party will come through. There needs to be an enforcer, most likely a government, that adds threats if someone breaks any of the trust above. There needs to be a centralized exchange to facilitate all these activities. It isn’t forced but anything else is just not as practical, so the majority of people won’t do it outside of an exchange.

Austin was never "like that". It was a movie. Austin is a lot of things, but we still have bohemians and misfits, but they are outnumbered by tech entrepeneurs and crypto-bros. We still have conspiracy theorists but it turns out they are assholes.

> And its still the most private consumer grade browser out there https://privacytests.org

It should be disclosed that this site is ran by a Brave employee and many choices are influenced by how Brave handles certain things. Regardless of that fact, I have a lot of problems with how are privacy-respecting features presented on this site, clearly amplifying one way of looking at things.

For example the site completely omits the most important test of a privacy respecting browser - is it zero telemetry by default or not. This is where browser privacy begins.

Or a 'privacy' test filtering __s query param (which Brave incidently filters). I would totally use a param like __s in my early dev days.

We need an independent, 3rd party, privacy tests alternative.
