I've never managed "underweight", but having been as high as 320+lbs and as low as 161lbs, I agree. The key to losing weight is to find ways to ignore what your brain tells you to eat and stick to a calorie intake limit that matches the base metabolic rate of your target weight.

> For anything else, OpenLDAP in Docker.

What about managing this instance and its configuration, as by default OpenLDAP doesn't really come with an easy to use set of tools/UI?

Would you use something like Apache Directory Studio (https://directory.apache.org/studio/) or CLI utilities?

It feels to me that OpenLDAP is probably more proven than lldap, but lldap seems to have a nice interface to use, much like Keycloak and some other turn-key solutions out there do (just a nice example to use from a slightly different domain).
Peanut butter doesn't fill me up at all. I can consume 1k calories of it, nothing, still hungry after.

Same with fish, I cannot get full eating fish in any quantity. Shrimp, sure, but not fish.

Nuts, same deal. I'll eat 500+ calories of nuts, does nothing for me.

Some people are happy enough living through an 'I' perspective (I have this, I have that). Some people can't be happy with that, and look for happiness through success as some kind of 'we' (we as a family, we as a community, we as a race or gender or class or followers of a religion, we as a nation, we as a species, we as a planet). Or maybe some other moral formulation.

Certainly the easy path, if you can stomach it, is to satisfy yourself with personal material success. But you might need something else. Congrats, you're human.

While it's true that you can make more money elsewhere, lots of people take jobs for reasons other than money. As one example, nearly every game programmer I know could be making a ton more outside games but they don't leave game dev.

The reason you're supposedly supposed to get into public service is because you want to serve the public.

I know it's being naive on top of being fiction but it reminds me of this ep from West Wing where they recruit a press secretary who's making $550k a year in Hollywood and tell her the press secretary job pays $31k a year

This makes me think of Anthony Bourdain, the man who had probably the most envied job in the world, but still suffered from depression and took his own life.

A perfect job does not prevent or cure depression.
Completely unrelated to Uber but I wish I could hear a similar confession from Bill Gates before I die. The amount of greyish and plain bad things in the 90s and early 20s he is responsible for is enormous. Still, no single "I'm sorry, what we did at that time was wrong."
> I'd walk right out the door if I saw that.

That's your right, of course. But as a likely computer-savvy person, you've probably seen examples of why this joke exists.

You may have had to help family members with computer problems who first spent an hour clicking away and downloading shady tools trying 20 different things trying to solve something and have seen firsthand how their own attempts to fix a problem sometimes messed up the situation even more.

I've had a family member delete some important software configuration file because they thought that the filename had some profanity in it and thought it was therefore a computer virus.

I wouldn't dissuade anybody from trying to solve their own problems, but people with a little knowledge can be very dangerous when trying to fix stuff.

I tried the potato diet. I consider myself a lean guy, but I wanted to try it for a month before recommending it to my overweight relatives.

I stopped after two weeks mostly because the stomach became rather bloated. There was no weight change.

Then I tried a similar rice diet. Basically one eats rice (both white and brown are OK) with few fruits or fruit juices. To my surprise I lost about 5 kg in 25 days and then the weight loss stopped during the last weak. There were no apparent strength loss judging by weigh lifting results or uphill jogging. There were no other side effects. Now I recommend this, not potato diet.
Even if those are the fundamentals, it's still worth looking at the thought patterns that some people get trapped in which prevent them doing what is considered "easy" by others, and especially understanding if those traps are subject to certain tricks or shortcuts.

For example, I put on about 20lbs early in the pandemic just from being around the house and being able to snack all the time, plus having ice cream a lot in the evenings before bed (I don't think I was particularly "stress eating", but maybe more like... boredom eating?). And yes, if a dietician or trainer had had me keep a food log, this would have clearly shown up and it would have been obvious what needed to change.

What actually worked for me, though, was not just cutting out the snacking but also shifting my mindset back to a place where I'm okay with being slightly hungry some of the time. Like, it's okay to feel peckish in the afternoon— it's not a problem that needs to be solved by having a snack, it's just a sign that I'm going to be good and hungry come dinner time. Same in the evening: I don't need to go to bed stuffed, I can just make sure to eat a solid dinner, and then plan on eating well at breakfast in the morning. That plus some protein shakes and getting more cardio (swimming, cycling), and I've been steadily shedding about a pound a week; I'm now below my pre-pandemic weight.
Well, they'd have to press enter. Once that happened, it sounds like you'd have to run through certifications to make sure that the phrase "your-stupid-anti-blah-blah-UK-policy" isn't potentially harmful to minors, and then also (at a minimum) put in business processes to make sure that the approved text didn't change.

Then, moving forward, whenever you changed any (unrelated) business process, you'd need to re-up your business process certifications.

Personally, yes. I think most of what the GDPR intended to accomplish could have been accomplished more easily by public education campaigns and broad cultural adoption of no-track plugins. That would have done a lot less damage to the user experience than naively assuming that if one pushed the educational burden onto sites, the sites would cease to do the tracking that triggered the educational burden rather than just bother their users forever with government-mandated information placards.

Especially given that what constituted "tracking" was so broad that a lot of sites took the "better safe than sorry" approach because it was cheaper than a full audit of their tracking and a lawyer to interpret whether, say, Apache logs that show IP address constitute "tracking."

You're not exactly wrong but your comment isn't really reflective of anything meaningful. Correlation does not always equal causation. And I know a LOT of people with the same experiences. The commonality of these experiences leads me to believe it's a cab thing and not just a me thing.

In all other aspects of my life I tend to be pretty easy to get along with and generally have reasonable expectations. I don't have any reason to think my expectations of the cab industry are out of line with my expectations for everything else.
We're all sitting here shaking our heads wondering how we got here.

The answer is we demanded it.

Instead of parents taking responsibility for what their children see on their phone, we tried to push a parental responsibility into the service provider, that they're simply unable to logistically comply with.

This is the end result of trying to solve a problem in meat space with legislation. Everyone that sat around going "Hurr hurr XKCD! Slippery slope! Seat belts and road safety!" are complicit.

If I, a US citizen, started an online service that attracted Ofcom attention, what binds me to following UK regulations? The article mentions "extraterritorial enforcement", but what does that mean? Will the US extradite me to the UK if I don't put monitoring in place? Will I get arrested if I visit the UK? Will they try to sue me in US court?

I mean realistically if it became a problem I'd just IP-block all of the UK because they're small, but I don't understand what the legal framework for "extraterritorial enforcement" even is.
I found out why I wanted different things. Honestly it has been a lifelong journey to answer that question and finding the answer can be very complicated and not at all what you expect when you start, or it can take so long that it subsumes your life.

That sounds like an fragile setup if you depend on a single email account to get 2FA codes. I have them configured typically on my office workstation (reachable remotely if everything works), on my laptop, on my phone, and I have the static backup codes in my password manager which is also distributed over several indpendent machines.

Of course if you have to respond to incoming tickets within a guaranteed short timeframe that gets a problem if nothing can come in.

Make your risk assessment in advance: Can I live without it for a while, in the worst case even until I have an alternative provider? If so then just do so when an outage happens. If that's not acceptable for your case you need to have an independent backup before the first outage.

That's the plan I think. In another ten, twenty years or so who is going to remember the law as written over the way that it has been interpreted? This has been an end-run around the law from the beginning.
Ah yes, they're the curse of SQL. Still doesn't seem to be a reason to not squash them out as much as feasible within the constraints of SQL.
That's actually an interesting point!

Other than the term "informant" or "insider" I can't really think of how you would describe this type of thing. There's whistleblowers, and death bed confessions.

I suppose someone could simply be called a "tattle tale" or a "former employee", but neither really describes the act of revealing knowledge that was not publicly available.

"Leaker" might fit, but that seems to be more for someone who is a current employee, who is trying to disclose information in a secretive manner. Advocate has an equally weird meaning, too.

Can anyone else think of a better term?
> if a person has just gotten done working for a candidate or someone in office, they should be barred from private industry until they are politically irrelevant.

That's not how democracy works. You'd be creating a second class of people who are ineligible to participate in their own society. And you'd be selecting along the dimension of those who actually do participate.

I am a data engineer. If my state representative calls me to advise in a technical capacity on data legislation should I resign from my day job? Do we want our lawmakers to be well informed?

What's the line to be barred from private industry? If I have to resign from private industry to advise my representatives then won't I simply become a career lobbyist?
> They already do that. They generally have a PR dept., or work with PR consultants. They pick and choose who they want to be their heralds.

There's a big difference between denying access and prohibiting coverage. A news outlet can still publish an unflattering expose of a company, even if the outlet will no longer get invited to the company's press events. exabrial seems to suggest that no one can write anything negative about a business or person unless that entity opts in, which is closer to prohibiting coverage.
I've been right where you are. Something was still off. I started digging. Now, I'm much happier.

But the primary source documents all agree that Ulbricht wasn't charged or convicted with murder-for-hire and that the agent Ulbricht contracted with was arrested and convicted for corruption-related crimes. It's also obviously not true that somebody has to be dead for the state to charge murder-for-hire related crimes. If that were the case, the state wouldn't have agents pretending to be hitmen to catch people trying to hire hitmen.
Wonderful news. Now its more challenging to steal an 11 year old's information :)

> Heck, it doesn't even mean “did not commit a crime with substantially identical elements within the jurisdiction of a separate sovereign with concurrent jurisdiction”, though that's not directly relevant to this case.

I don't think you'll find many people arguing that this is a state of affairs that makes any sense. My position in this thread takes the form "the justice system is doing something that is self-evidently insane". And that's also what I would say here. Being insane in one way doesn't stop you from being insane in another way.

> The standard for criminal conviction is not the standard for “to claim that you did this”

And this just isn't true. The standard for making the claim is the standard for conviction. As far as the law is concerned, the conviction is how you make the claim. As a person, if you make the claim in the absence of a conviction you'll run into serious legal problems. Unless, apparently, you're handing down a sentence for some other crime, in which case anything goes.
There is a saying on the radio here. Cheating is like going to the McDonald’s. A few nice minutes and a lifetime of regret afterwards. I don’t know about cheating but I always regret eating at the MacDonalds.
The thing that keeps me up at night is what’ll happen to the email for my custom domain. If the domain registration lapses, anyone can snag it and do a catch all for my email addresses. Then, they’d just need to do a password reset to get into my accounts (assuming there’s no non-email based 2FA).
I recall Flight Unlimited[1] made a big deal of their flight model which incorporated "real-time computational fluid dynamics". I'm not a pilot but I found it very compelling. It was groundbreaking for its time.

You're sensing what I'd guess is spiritual emptiness. It could also be a lack of conflict, which in my opinion humans need to thrive. We all need conflict and challenges to overcome; imagine what the brains of people during 100,000 years of human evolution had to endure to survive.

spywaregorilla left a good reply about Starcraft. In the games I watched, despite the AI being handicapped to use human-like levels of APM and human-like viewport management, it primarily fought using *clearly superhuman* blink stalker micromanagement. Stalkers with barely any health would typically survive engagements and get to re-engage when their shields were fully recovered. On the other hand, a human player managed to confuse the bot by repeatedly airdropping units in its base, picking them up, and dropping them elsewhere. The bot uselessly moved its mass of stalkers back and forth while losing many probes and buildings.

Edit: After looking at some games again, the AI also benefits from precise target selection for the phoenix's graviton beam. A human player might take 3 phoenixes and a bunch of stalkers into a fight against an army containing 3 immortals, some sentries, some stalkers, and some zealots, and use graviton beam to pick up some mix of units including units other than immortals. The bot can pick up only the immortals.

I want to use it as my personal computer...using a VM seems even more fringe and niche than NixOS there lol. And for a home network, VM also seems overkill.

I suppose there are also network effects at play. If you use NixOS for a laptop and desktop, suddenly using it for home infra is actually more economical than using other tools.
Yeah, likewise. What I'm noticing in the comments is people who say, "My parents would take me there on Fridays..." seem to be nostalgic for it, but for those of us who were adults, we ran into the things you talk about.

I distinctly remember 2 specific problems:
1) Being unable to get the latest release you wanted to watch. This was a big problem when video stores (not just Blockbuster) would only get in a few copies of new movies. Eventually Blockbuster got some sort of deal with the studios where they would get in something like 100 copies of the latest releases and the problem became #2:

2) Being unable to find anything but the most popular movies. If you wanted to watch that slightly less popular artsy film (but not anything as obscure as a foreign film, just not a (lowercase "b") blockbuster movie), they'd only have a few copies of it, and they'd inevitably all be rented out whenever you wanted to watch it.

I just remember going around the entire store and saying, "seen it, seen it, seen it, don't want to see it, seen it," etc.
I agree. My beef's entirely with the people simultaneously claiming we can't agree with the justice system's verdict, but also that we absolutely can't form our own negative judgements of Ulbricht's actions because apparently the only relevant standard for whether orders like “can you change the order to execute rather than torture” made Ulbricht a terribly unsympathetic character is a claim it wasn't the basis of the judicial verdict...
check out maslow pyramid of needs. you're on level 3.
for me it goes something like:

1. body - food, water, shelter, sleep. check
2. safety - freedom, stability. check
3. love and belonging: friends & family. check
4. self realization: prestige, respect, achievements.. ???? that's your next step.
5. the dream: full complete realization of ones potential.

read up on this thing, check it out.

also maybe useful questions to ask:

1. how is my last month going to look like - how do I wanna die. invision it.
2. maybe think. what would you do if you only had week, month, year to live?
maybe go do it? is it realy impossibly to do while paying mortgage? chances are it isnt.

also, maybe list things you like about yourself and things you dont like. wanna work on those you dont like?
Humble Bundle is perfect for this. They have asset sales from time to time :)

Did it help you shortcut the dev cycle?

Maybe it's a form of maturity to know how to prioritize product delivery over all else.

For me, maybe it's a mindset of "been there, done that--wouldn't do it that way again" experience to justify buying the assets and getting things done-done.
