I guess. I'm okay being part of an assembly line though. I do my part. I go home/sign off when my work is done. I don't have to worry about building the entire car. I'm good at putting the right door on. Stress free. Pays well. ~40 a week or less and I get plenty of PTO for when I don't feel like putting doors on.

What is wrong with that?
Sure, but what if there were Calvin and Hobbes plushies, or something similar. Setting aside, of course, all the reasons Watterson gave for not wanting to do that sort of thing. There's licensing and there's licensing.

I think I'd keep paying for YNAB even if the price doubled twice more, it's worth that much to me. I'm not saying other budgeting tools can't compare/complete but for me it works really well and has lead to my saving literal 10's of thousands of dollars over the span of just over 2 years.

Once you get everything dialed in you can almost run on auto-pilot (repeating transactions and goals are your friend). Could I drop YNAB and continue with my better financial behavior? Possibly, probably in the short-term for sure but I know I'd slowly drift until I was back where I was before starting YNAB. The yearly cost ($99/yr) is well worth the cost to keep me on the right track and notice early when I'm slipping.
Yes, but phone number spoofing is not an important part of this story in any way.
One of the best features of mpv that I miss sorely on other players, (notably PotPlayer[0] on Windows) is that it has first class scripting support.

You can write Lua/Javascript and bind it to a hotkey and run your own scripts, pass in current video, playback position, download subtitles etc.

[0]: I use mpv.net on Windows, too, but PotPlayer has better UX.
Yes. It does take a lot of time! But it's worth the time to do a good job, because the returns are nonlinear with the quality IMO.

You want something good enough to make it on social news sites, not just for the traffic spike but because it will make search engines notice you. I have some posts that are just "here's how I solved this error message" or similar and I'm not posting those on HN but I want people searching that message to find my blog so I can help them. When I get a post on HN then over time those other posts get more search traffic.

I got my most interesting and fun job through my blog, when the CTO of a startup read a post on HN and reached out to hire me. And at that time my blog only had two posts, so it wasn't like I was a prolific regular blogger. I just had one thing interesting enough to make it on HN.

I just moved to self hosting my blog at https://james.darpinian.com and trying to post a little more often. Honestly self hosting is probably not worth the trouble. A hosted platform with a custom domain is probably the sweet spot.
Hey I read your blog a lot and it's definitely one of the more impressive I've seen, I don't write much (yet) but the structure and style of xeiaso.net is something I admire and would like to emulate

Sure - but there are far more warmongers who failed than those who succeeded - at least out of those who weren't already very powerful (for example, America's recent warmongering has tended to have either almost no effect or a positive effect on itself, since it has been extremely powerful compared to the countries it invaded).

The whisk actually works like the electric ones. It has two “whisks” and then it has some sort of wheel that you turn around to make them spin.

> Writing up my thoughts in presentable state took too much time/effort.

What you may not realize is how crucial writing is to thinking. You won't really know what you think about a topic until you try to put those thoughts into a persuasive or informative essay. The "time/effort" is an investment in your brain.

This is something I've personally experienced hundreds of times.

It's possible to do as you are doing and not publish written thoughts. However, doing so motivates thinking about the topic from many different perspectives as you try to anticipate objections/questions.
This probably depends on the quality and volume of your paper waste. If it's junk mail (weather treated, bleached and dyed), then putting it in your compost is likely to do more harm than good. On the other hand, if it's mostly minimally processed cardboard, you shred it and mix it into your food waste[1].

I'm new to blogging (shameless plug https://raskie.com), so keenly feel the pain of writing content. But it's a satisfying experience, even if it can be a bit frustrating. If it's a tech blog, sometimes, the feeling of completion is at least as satisfying as solving a particularly difficult programming problem, or writing a small program. All the more satisfyingly when people read the content, and appreciate it in some small way.

So yeah. I find it valuable, even if I do sometimes feel like 'I could be writing some code / designing something right now'.

A problem I think I have is knowing when to stop writing... I look around at other people's blogs, and see all these succinct, perfectly targeted paragraphs, all the while considering my work to be bloated and overly long. But I do try to reread and rewrite stuff. I think it's a skill worth working on, so that's another reason why I spend the time doing it.
Years ago I read about what the purpose behind all these liberal arts programs in universities were meant for and it started to click that the intent was in good faith and not out of elitism or anything like that. The intent was to democratize privilege - liberal arts was a set of fields dominated by the already wealthy or affluent that didn't have to have a vocation to survive.
I view my two main blogs (https://finl.xyz for the finl project and https://dahosek.com for my writing) to largely be an investment in the future. I occasionally get people visiting the former who have interesting suggestions (it was actually someone from HN who got me to consider rust as the dev language and that was definitely worth it alone). The writing site, in some ways is most useful to me so that I know where I can go to get to links to my published writing, but I’ve had occasional others visit and comment (in one case, a question that I had about an author that I posted in one blog post, the author himself answered).

I keep no analytics on either site. I assume no one reads them and leave it at that. It makes me much happier that way.
That looks like a bug, thanks for finding it!

In this case, the name is really only indicative of where the current canon of philosophical thought identifies the first recordings of these notions as explicit philosophical notions, and has nothing to do with “these behaviors” as were not even talking about behaviors.

The name isn’t meaningless — and I’m not using it from a belief that “western” people are more “individualistic” or something than others, as you and others seem to be implying. Obviously there are plenty of individualistic behaviors in people across cultures.

But the notion of the individual with agency creating a state to protect individual agency is recorded explicitly by Kant and enlightenment rationalism, collectively typically referred to as “western” by philosophers. The OP here was discussing freedoms and values, and I was pointing out that they seem to derive from this notion of the individual, which is only one among many.

Do you also open discussions of Newton’s Law of Gravity with a critique that it’s misnamed because gravity is present everywhere?

Apologies to anyone triggered by this jargon, it wasn’t my intent.
I used some pieces of 1-1/4 inch square steel tube with 1/8" wall to make some adjustable 90 degree clamps that grab 1" tube. then i made a custom clamp with a 100mm vesa plate attached. and 4 short pieces of tube with wheels attached.

then just cut 1" tube to approximate size, assemble, and adjust. it rolls back and forth along both sides of the bed. I have it set about 3 feet above me, and I added a little shelf to hold a laptop and other crap, and wire tied a power strip to the side. bluetooth trackball and kinesis.

its a bit odd, but its really nice to be able to work in a neutral and relaxed position. I usually only do lying work, sitting work, or standing work for about an hour at a time.

I mean, these are still kids in Gainesville, and about 80-90% of them come from one middle school called Lincoln, the best magnet program in Gainesville. He doesn't really "poach" kids as much as develop the willing ones with his teaching methods while in middle school so they hit the ground running when they hit high school. But the regular Lincoln kids and many other middle schools in Gainesville would feed into Buchholz high school regardless.
I’ve forgotten what it’s like to be in ball pits. Are they even swimmable or do you just sink straight down? What if there was a very deep ball pit, think 12 feet or so. Could it be escaped by swimming back up?
Back in 2010 I started a blog and my first post was how to use some auth plugin for Ruby on Rails (quite popular at the time). The article ranked number one on "how to use that thing", and I have to say, it was cool seeing my blog at the top of the google news results, and seeing actual traffic from users that I (hope) were getting some benefit from the writing.

That said, it was indeed a PITA to keep up and I eventually just let it die. That one article had taken almost 2 weeks to write and I didn't have that sort of time or interest to devote to other topics, which undoubtably would have been less interesting.

The point is though, for those that find early success, it can be quite pleasurable and addicting. For those that don't, it might be an exercise in pure personal growth.
The trend to remove dates from blog posts is problematic for just this reason (as well as being reader-hostile).

I found blogging to be too open-ended. I need some prompting, and I found that by participating in topical forums related to my interests and expertise. When someone would pose a problem or ask a question, I would dig into the threads that interested me a lot and found great satisfaction in working with anyone to solve an interesting problem.

After a few years of this I have become known in some of these communities as an expert, have received requests for paid work, have been referred for paid work, and have absolutely learned a lot.

My only tip if you take this direction is to find community forums that are specific -- not Reddit. Reddit has too many casual browsers and commenters and is not well-regulated. Participate in forums that are more professionally oriented or have a professional feel. If you see a lot of troll posts, don't waste your time.

Helping Asahi would tangentially benefit Apple (such as increasing mac sales... something that is reasonable to assume might happen a little bit, given how much more efficient the M chips are to Intel, and the fact that most Linux stuff already compiles just fine on it) while also possibly garnering some goodwill. It'd be great if they sold or licensed the chip to others so that it would have to be documented publicly, but we're not there yet.
> I would argue that they are in the process of weak men making hard times. The soviet countries are the opposite, strong men are now improving things.

Like Belarus, Russia and Chechenya are improving ... what exactly?

Edit: since this is downvoted - Russia had worst issues after fall of communism then countries currently in EU. So did Chechnya- they had two wars with Russia and lost. Belarus was not exactly paradise on word for quite a long time either. Thise countries are the ones starting the was and supporting it the most.
Is still better than the "evidence" provided by Ukraine!
I mean, empirical evidence exists as it is now. We can look at the most wealthy countries and determine if they were the most impoverished ones a generation ago. We can look at the most impoverished nations and look if they were the wealthiest ones a generation ago.
On a trip through Scotland, we were driving through some backroads and all of a sudden, there would be a forest with clear lines along some property boundry. The trees were more or less the same. It was essentially a tree farm. Apparently the Brits started offering special tax incentives to get people to plant trees and many listened.
AC is becoming more common in hot areas (from experience in the South of France you can kow see some homes with AC whereas it was unheard of before) but the UK is hardly a hot area. These are 2 days of 'proper' heat and there are many ways to cope.
I can relate to the feeling of excess skin.

My inner thighs always felt chunky, large, - literally, full of fat.

After starting to work out a couple months ago - I felt my inner thighs randomly one evening and I stopped myself because they felt so _different_... Better than looking in the mirror honestly - more tactile feeling of accomplishment rather than visual.
Well .. I'm a Brit who's pulled away from the daily (UK) news, and I agree with this. It is grinding, mostly grindingly stupid, and the sense that it's worth engaging with the process to fix matters has evaporated. The UK news has always worn its political allegiances on its masthead, but that has now completely overridden any kind of sense or accuracy. The British press campaigned for Brexit for decades, and got it. Now we have a Twitter-stoked moral panic over trans people to deal with as well that has been pushed into existence from nothing over the past few years.

The country is having a heat emergency https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32137713 and still nobody will talk sense over climate change.

If you must follow a UK paper, and not just pick up the background scattering of the news from Twitter, the FT remains reasonably reliable.

Decent article. Was going to post a comment about how terribly wrong it could go to have each team pick their own tech stack, force the client to download all of them, and run them in a shared environment. Makes me shudder thinking about it. But they call this out towards the end.

It’s a solution to an organizational problem, but to do it well it requires serious organization and disciple. If your organization lacks the strong engineering leadership and/or doesn’t prioritize client performance then micro frontends will just make things worse for your clients.
The box had already stickers that prove the cargo is fragile, even before putting TV images on the boxes. It is just that the handlers do not care at all if the cargo is fragile or not, but they probably receive quite a lot of heat for improperly handling TVs and monitors, as the damage to those items are quite visible.

I would agree in the sense that the only way this gatekeeper regulation works is if regulators set additional rules and regulatory scrutiny to all non-gatekeepers allowed to distribute applications outside the existing platform controls.

The three concerns I have about that is:

1. I do not know if regulators are equipped to understand such technical details (see the rough parts of this legislation)

2. Abuses move at internet speed, while corrections will move at bureaucratic speed.

3. It is drastically harder to regulate businesses outside your country. A shady side-loaded app may not be something that can easily be blocked

Notorization does not enforce security or privacy features on macOS. Security features are either enabled across the operating system or are opt-in based on the selected entitlements. A "gatekeeper" presumably will not be allowed broad limits entitlements on side-loaded apps or apps sold in a third party store.

There are relatively few enforceable privacy features at the software level. Trying to create them is a cat-and-mouse game between the platform and developers.

The way Apple platforms achieve privacy is a mix of technical measures and business measures - ignoring business requirements to gather user consent is a way to get your company banned from the App Store.
Long term plans do not work out, because we have the wrong format for them.

A long term plan should be not a linear chain of events. But a scenario-tree. You are always at root - the now. Now you gain a new a capabilitz or the world changes around you, and the tree adapts. Its branches thicken were they become more likely. Unlikely scenario branches wither away. The whole structure is recursive, one capability reached makes other capabilities more reachable, but might introduce risks, that shrink the whole tree down.

This scenario tree is not focused on a single product, as a product is just one of many expression of a capability. But when the capability is reached, the whole thing has changed, including your view on risks and rewards while moving on. So pivoting might be in order. Meanwhile others move to similar trees, and change the world around you for the better and the worse.

To compress this structure down into a "historylike" sequence of events, is the main fallacy. The past may be a linear graph, but none the less a ever changing root-recursive-tree was traversed by those moving within it.

There hasn't been much history for heat waves in northern Europe, but we used to have very long and cold winters. As such people invested heavily in heaters and insulation, and simply opened the window during the warmest few days during the summer. An AC unit and installation is quite a large cost in order to just make a few days better once every few years.

Now days the winter is much milder and the summer warmer. Modern ACs that can run in reverse is also much cheaper and can reduce the need for more expensive heating solutions, so we are seeing a uptick in number of homes with AC installed.
