Why would you want that? Genuine question. You say "lightweight" but what does that mean, and why is it "fraught"?

I think it's great, and as far as I understand, it blocks companies from offering it in a way that doesn't bring anything of value to the community.
That list is ... suspect?

> Lowfat yogurt

I've never been satiated eating lowfat yogurt. I actually recently started buying high fat yogurt (10g+ of fat) and it is super satiating. Given I can eat 3x the amount of lowfat yogurt and still not be full, I'm not buying it.

> Watermelon

Maybe due to bloating from water?

> Bean sprouts

I challenge anyone to get full eating just bean sprouts. Again, they are more akin to drinking (crunchy) water than eating food. It is maybe a mechanical sense of fullness, it is not satiated as is normally thought of.

> Fish, broiled

I get bored eating fish long before I get full from eating fish.

> Sirloin steak, broiled

Yes, this works. Steak is super satiating.

> Popcorn

Has anyone in the history of humanity ever been satiated eating popcorn? To be fair I know a few people who go to the movies and eat only a small bit, but most people I know can easily down an entire large bag and it'll have no impact on their appetite soon after.

> Oranges

Eh, this also falls into the category of "hungry a little bit later."

A language with one implementation can't really be said to have a specification.

Then let me be even more explicit - I claim that this is correct:

"The essence of *the ST monad* is to enclose a mutable state, providing only a set of carefully-crafted combinators for using it in such a way that you can't duplicate the state but have to use it in a linear, non-branching fashion."

I claim that the following 4 are incorrect:

"The essence of *the Maybe monad* is to enclose a mutable state, providing only a set of carefully-crafted combinators for using it in such a way that you can't duplicate the state but have to use it in a linear, non-branching fashion."

"The essence of *the List monad* is to enclose a mutable state, providing only a set of carefully-crafted combinators for using it in such a way that you can't duplicate the state but have to use it in a linear, non-branching fashion."

"The essence of *the Either monad* is to enclose a mutable state, providing only a set of carefully-crafted combinators for using it in such a way that you can't duplicate the state but have to use it in a linear, non-branching fashion."

"The essence of *the Parser monad* is to enclose a mutable state, providing only a set of carefully-crafted combinators for using it in such a way that you can't duplicate the state but have to use it in a linear, non-branching fashion."

> In all cases an operation on an object of the monoidal type will mutate the wrapper type but not the wrapped type which always stays the same.

I know of no type mutation in Haskell.

> If you want to learn more about it I'd recommend to learn about the relationship between the Kleisli Triple and the monad.

The original author has made an overfitting error, taking a specific learning about ST and incorrectly generalising it to all monads. If I were to relate it to Kleisli triples, wouldn't I be overfitting even worse?

"The essence of *the Kleisli triple* is to use abstract types to enclose a mutable state, providing only a set of carefully-crafted combinators for using it in such a way that you can't duplicate the state but have to use it in a linear, non-branching fashion."

In my subjective opinion, I would say it’s probably not meaningful to you for whatever reason. Only you can know what’s meaningful to you, and this might be something that you need to discover. I find that a writing session can help (like 1-3 hour one time session), like write down what makes you happy, sad, annoyed, what you’re doing, what you want to do, and so on. It might give you a clue of what is meaningful to you, and how you can incorporate it into your life.

From what I understand about humans we have evolved over time, suffering in order to motivate ourselves to fix the suffering in our life. When there is no suffering we still on the lookout for problems to solve, or fun to be had, or things to learn.

Maybe even something simple like planning and doing a fun weekend adventure with your family will bring meaning in that moment, then next weekend you read a book about something interesting. Only you can discover it for yourself.

Here is a metaphor to explain it differently: I think we have evolved to climb the mountain, not hang out at the top for the rest of our life. Once you climb enough mountains, that can become meaningless, and maybe it’s time to try swimming.

Couple counter points:

Appliances shipped from Costco.com are in their original packaging. They usually come with damages. I have had a couple items that I had to bring them back to the store to return.

Another thing is how they choose which items to sell at a particular warehouse. I used to visit one to buy a Sony Bravia 77" OLED and was told that the model was only sold at locations with high-income neighborhood.

Other than that, they have a way to get my money. It seems like we go there every week or so.
>> I have a house, a good relationship with my wife, and young and healthy kids.

> why not try solo travel in a remote region? South America and places in Southeast Asia can be really fun to do alone.

Sounds like the risky solo intercontinental travel portion of this guy's life has elapsed. Doing this when you're single and 25 is adventurous. Doing this when you're married with kids and a homeowner is a midlife crisis, even if being 35 makes it an early one. Leaving the responsibility of raising the children and running the household to his wife while he goes on adventures to sate his restlessness would be pretty self-absorbed.

I'm in a similar position to you (indie developer, working on my first project of size that I am polishing with intent to release).

Focusing on other people will take your focus off yourself.

I have found satisfaction in helping others. The less personal time I have, the more I value it and the more satisfying life generally is. Also, this is very likely temporary, as your kids get older your life will change with them. They will have more and more adult and complicated life needs.

I found that forcing myself to do things differently based on other people's advice (especially when I didn't feel like it) often brought extremely unexpected results. But there is a massive inertia with changing who you are and the day to day choices you make.

You're mixing streams.

Yes, I'm very aware of the debates surrounding CRT and public furor.

Nobody is is getting 'cancelled' due to 'CRT' - rather, it's a subject that is very rightly controversial.

'CRT' is an interesting concept, which is ultimately a bit post modern, and can be used to propagate misinformation as much as it can be a tool of enlightenment.

For example 'CRT' has is the ideology used to get rid of AP classes in high school. Does that seem reasonable? I think many would disagree with the policy. It's inherently controversial.

But that aside - nobody is 'cancelled' over it. Careers are not ruined. Authors, creative people, academics - they are all free to publish books and papers on the subject. Nobody is pulling books from the shelf because it's about 'CRT'.

"Operatively speaking, "cancel culture" seem to mean "rich and powerful who don't like to be criticized"."

No - this is completely false. The vast focus of 'cancel culture' has been focused on those who transgress values of ostensible social justice. The best examples would be Dave Chapelle on Netflix, or, Kevin Hart's cancellation of Oscar Hosting, or Comedians pulling jokes on campus.

The 'outrage' is from the young, the left.

Colin Kaepernick can publish whatever book he wants, attend whatever parade he wants, make any kind of speech he wants, and none of it would be controversial.

Disney is not pulling content because of what Floridians think about this or that, however, they absolutely are pulling and shaping content based on what social justice ideologues believe.
I've found that living through my job was never going to be ultimately satisfying. I enjoy my job well enough, and I've been at the same one now for 28 years, but it's not where I look for fulfillment. Instead I focus my needs for exploration, meaning, social connection, and creative energy into hobbies. A hobby is much easier to change or entirely dump without much consequence when it is no longer satisfying. I've played around with and very much enjoyed classic cars, watch repair, old clocks, beer brewing, fishing, firearms, archery, hunting, cooking, volunteering at a hospital, volunteering at a museum, and plenty more. All of them allowed me to learn something new, meet new people, and just overall enjoy a new journey. And when my interest waned (and it did naturally on all of it) I just happily closed the book and moved on, sometimes coming back to something, sometimes not. And as a bonus, the friendships I made each time still continue on.
I drooled over all that stuff but couldn't afford it. Now I might be able to afford some of the workstations I coveted as a kid, but they can hardly do anything by today's standards. Some of them can heat a room pretty well at least.

> It's not clear why Finland would suddenly be at risk.

It's not that we're now suddenly at risk, it's more that we were at risk all the time and now we finally understand it.

Also the highly visible "special operation" allows Russia a whole new level of pressuring us into various things. The message we're seeing is "if we decide to fuck you up, we don't much care if a bunch of our boys get hurt in the process". Which pretty much renders useless any "credible defense deterrent" which isn't an existential threat to them.

> like turning public opinion into agreeing to join Nato in some countries

The change of public opinion as result of the actions we've seen was such an obvious consequence, it makes me wonder if it wasn't one of the effects Putin wanted to get out of this campaign.
2 things to ask.

1. why don't people selfhost email more? mailinabox is pretty painless to set up and would give you infinitely more security/privacy whatever you want.
2. why is email deliverability still an issue? why do you need to use third party email tools to ensure your email doesn;t go to spam? i am not concerned with newsletters/ads/ that sort of thing but a replacement to gmail/protonmail??

i have personally gone with miab like last year and beyond the first few weeks of gmail putting my emails into spam(then having to inform the other user to unspam it), things have been painless. i get to occasionally spin up the ssh to update the server but its fine. backblaze b2 backups ensure i am somewhat safe(er). can it be better? yes. is it ready to be used in production, aka a replacement to your regular paid/free email? you be the judge but i am sold on this idea

No this is not the dream.

You’re still in debt. You still owe society a lot of work. You want to finish paying the mortgage, send your kids to uni and start something without putting everything at risk.

Keep working. Keep working.

This is the american dream. Work does not liberate you from work. It allows you to set enough aside to retire all right.

The only way to get more is to risk more. These are the rules of the game. You could have had family money, but sadly you don’t so you have to risk that comfy situation to try and gain your financial independance.

I'm in a very similar situation, almost identical, sans kids. I too have this 'struggle'. There's no solution, you're just experiencing life. You're at a stage where you're more safe than you probably had been in the past (I don't know about you, but the 2008 crash really set the tone for my young adulthood). I know I tend to think "I've finally arrived...now what?"

Some combination of suggestion & things that've worked for me:

1) getting a therapist. They will be able to help you work through the feelings a lot better than anyone on HN.

2) don't try to be happy. You can't directly control how you feel like it were a light switch. Aim for contentment and create an environment where you're more likely to be happy. the harder you try to be happy the less likely it is to happen.

3) reduce your focus on work. work is a means to create an environment for you to be happy in. find things outside of work to pour your love and ambition into. Find other sources of validation than work

4) meditate -- and start with guided meditation of some form. do it regularly. it will help you cultivate yourself
