Not an app, but I was frustrated with the same thing and was looking for apps of a similar nature too. I also started to make my own.

I found this [0] cooking blog that has atleast 90 meal plans.

My wife and I just pick them at random and kept the good ones in rotation.

Print them out - a page each recipe and one for the grocery list - do a quick cupboard check before heading to the shops, and store it in a clear plastic folder for next time. Rinse and repeat.

The experience of a white American is much closer to that of a black American than it is to that of a white European. I find a lot of US orgs vocal about diversity (relative to what I'm used to) are quite monocultural. Cultural diversity seems much harder to manage than ethnic diversity.

I think it is fair to say that most people discussing Madagascar here, have no conception of how it is like to live there.
Academia only lacks credibility in the circles of the delusional, and outside of those people are happy to ignore them because there isn't a percentage in it. If Academia would come up with something that would generate free cash while avoiding the collapse of global civilization you can bet that the people that currently ignore them would be all over it.
> There's a severe lack of good libraries of this type; all the UI libraries want to invent their own controls and rendering instead. I think this is a shame, demonstrating more than a small amount of NIH.

There are a ton of reasons for a UI library to do their own controls and rendering instead of using the native, a big one being consistency across platforms and once you implement something on the UI, it is there on all platforms.

In addition, some platforms - specifically Linux and to a lesser extent macOS - have a very awful track record of backwards compatibility, at least as far as "out of the box" setups are concerned (sure you can install, e.g., Gtk 1.2 on a modern Linux, but aside from Slackware no distro has that available out of the box - not to mention that even where it is available it still lacks a ton of features introduced in later yet backwards incompatible versions). So while it might be more work now to implement something, it saves you a ton of work later when inevitably someone will break something you rely on and you'll have to fix it on your side.

Here is an example from my own experience working with and a bit of working on a library that does expose the "native" controls (LCL, the framework of Lazarus[0]): a couple of years ago or so i implemented MDI support for Win32 (the API was there for years, just never implemented). Spent some time reworking things and refactoring them on both the system agnostic and system specific parts and after a review it was merged. Yesterday i wanted to make a small tool where i thought MDI would fit, however nowadays i'm on Linux as my main OS. Gtk (specifically Gtk2 but in that case it doesn't matter) doesn't have any MDI support at all so of course that wouldn't work there, but fortunately LCL also has Qt backends and Qt does have MDI support - so i changed the LCL backend to Qt5 just for that tool, tried the MDI tool and... MDI for Qt5 support was very buggy. Things that i know worked on the Win32 backend (because i implemented) wouldn't work on the Qt backend.

So now what? Well, i don't feel like fixing the Qt5 backend's MDI support (at least not anytime soon) but Qt itself does support MDI just fine. And thus i made the tool using C++ and Qt6 instead (i had Qt6 Creator installed and decided to go with that since i already had it available).

And of course the tool would work fine under Win32 and probably macOS too because Qt does implement and render its own controls.

Note that this is just one example from my very recent experience. Also it isn't specific to LCL, i had similar experiences with wxWidgets -which also does similar wrapping- at the past.

That is not to say that there are no positives to having native controls, but in my experience the only platform where that works reliably and with little fuss in the long term is Win32, everything else is a PITA, even if you decide to be as conservative as you can (e.g. LCL has its own DPI scaling support but HiDPI scaling in LCL with the Gtk2 backend under KDE/Wayland doesn't work because it seems to lie to the X clients about DPI - it does work fine under KDE/X11 however).

The stockmarket may have been a mistake. It turns fractional ownership into an information game with the price to be borne by those that are not playing that particular game (externalization). This is one of the root causes that is super hard to address.
Same here. Approached by FAANG.

Judging from my perspective as a manager of a large department, I never ever experienced such a thing as an hiring stop. It always translates into tighter processes for approval, that's all.

For example Finance laid off thousands of workers years ago - however they were hiring IT stuff.

After all, great staff is still the most important factor aka resource.
> The skills and character required to be a succesfull developer are totally different than whats needed for C level.

The skills required to be a Lead and/or Principal developer seem to overlap quite a bit with those that an executive needs.

I’m sure there must be some, but I certainly haven’t noticed any extra skills in the executives I’ve met except a larger willingness to compromise and do things that are globally suboptimal (e.g. bad for the company in the long run, but good in the short one).

Where are they sourcing raw materials? How are they processed? What contractors or consultants are used in the manufacturing lifecycle? What third party software is used? Basically, how can entrepreneurs get in on the action?

> Firstly, EV chargers aren't as smart as they seem. For many models of car, they can't know how much energy the car will be wanting to be full, or the charge profile of how fast the car can accept said energy. Without that, it's hard to plan ahead when to do the charging most optimally.

Do you have any evidence that this extra smarts and optimization is actually necessary?

How much of an improvement is it over basic "charge slowly during the night at a random point in the off peak zone and avoid or slow down charging during peak times".

That is a net positive in most ways, so it would need to degrade pretty badly from there to actually be a problem to worry about.

And if it is necessary, the current smart chargers are able to be controlled via apps and have internet connection, which means they're effectively unlimited in potential smartness being applied to when they start/stop/modulate charging.

Great library, however:

> Note: As there's no "official" GUI library for Linux, GTK 3 has been chosen as it is the one that works and can be configured on the most distros. It's also the reason Libadwaita won't be adopted, as it's meant for GNOME and GNOME only by disallowing styling and integration with other DEs.

The never ending unsolvable problems, in-fighting and conflicts that keep plaguing the Linux Desktop has now spread onto aspiring cross-platform GUI libraries to make a compromise to avoid certain integration(s) with other libraries that will limit future functionality if someone decides to use it.

This is a solved issue for macOS and Windows, but never Desktop Linux which is a terrible shame for more than 20+ years.

Agree on the video comments.

This video shows unsynchronized, straight-cut gears and your car has two improvements over that: helical cut gears (much quieter) and synchronizers to aid (significantly) in gear shifting.

Except for reverse, in a street trans design newer than 50 years old, the gears themselves are constantly meshed and there are internal rings which lock and unlock the gears from the shaft they ride on. The synchronizers are softer metal rings that help to guide these rings into meshing as they turn past each other.

This video shows the parts well: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MXsRfbOiBhE
Is there some tips or example Bash script that you should to cut down power usage? I have an ITX board with mobile i5 that is perfect for this purpose, but the power draw seems a bit high for something that only have to be fast as a Pi, though reliability wise the thing do seem better.
I have another trick. If you don’t know what you want or you want a good and fast answer. Ask someone that have a good knowledge to pick for you.

For instance ask the waiter if he tried the items on the menu and pick the one he likes the best. (And if he didn’t tried most of them because he is new which one is the most popular). If it’s tech go to your best guy about the topic and ask him what you should pick.

It works well if you are good at choosing the right person. And for most not that important things since the person already have more information than you it will be better than flipping a coin.

It’s become the norm for big tech to acquire and kill off beloved products over the objections of passionate communities of users.

For me that first experience was Yahoo acquiring and killing GeoCities, not to mention deleting 10’s of millions of websites from the early web in the process like it never existed paving the way for social media.

I’ve spent the better part of a decade waiting, and in 2020 Yahoo’s trademark for GeoCities was finally cancelled by the USPTO, I filed for it using geocities.eth, in part, and successfully became the new owner of the GeoCities registered trademark.

There is a new era of passionate website builders that are making the Internet fun again and they have inspired me. You can find some of them at the .eth website search engine https://esteroids.eth.limo

If things go as planned, it may just be a matter of time before you’ll have the opportunity to build a geocities website once again, only this time your website(s) won’t be able to be rugged.
How can large companies with high turnover like Google and Facebook afford to stop hiring engineers? Do they downsize teams, shut down projects, or something else?
The other side to this is that businesses tend to follow the leaders of the industry. So if engineer salaries were getting too high, they start a "freeze" which then cascades down to medium then small companies. However, the goal wasn't actually a freeze, it was to lower salaries, increase the pool of candidates and they can then find talent better. In a sense it is manipulation of the labor market and businesses that just follow the trends.

On the labor side, if talent is looking for work right now, they might accept less or even stay around longer during change in fear.

For VCs, this allows some time again for lowering investments, letting others play out and decreasing valuations.

While there is a slowdown and some macro market conditions, those are always exploited for companies looking to contain labor costs and increase availability.

There are some geopolitical elements going into it as well currently but in that case really it would make sense to hire more as the pools have shrunk due to division.

It is just another game really, there is no slow down or "freeze" there is a tightening, and the goal is constraining costs and increasing the pool of talent.

If I was in charge of hiring right now, I'd look at this current market as a huge time to increase hiring if you are set for multiple years. If a round is up soon, you might have to pull back. The "freeze" is a buy low moment of the market.

For $455, you can buy an i3 CPU, motherboard with a 2.5G NIC, 16GB RAM, case and power supply to handle 4 spinning disks and an NVMe M.2. Is it tiny? No. It is, however, good enough to be your primary server for anything not ridiculously compute-intensive, 5-10x faster than the Pi, with 2-4x the RAM and much better bandwidth.

You trade off physical size and electrical power -- but if you want 4 spinning disks, that's going to be the same across builds. In return, you get repairability, upgradability, and probably better cooling.
First thing I have to confess about my total ignorance about the existence of Rumble till now.

I am not a youtube user, the only thing I look for, from time to time, is some tutorial/videos on how to disassemble/repair this or that gadget/engine/mechanism/whatever, + the occasional view of some videos I find linked to on HN.

Today's test:

1) I went to Rumble and found a video about disassembling a Sony Xperia Z

2) the one I found was titled "Sony Xperia Z repair, disassembly manual"

3) then I tried a google search (video) for "Sony Xperia Z repair, disassembly manual", ALL results were on youtube or dailymotion

4) then I tried a google search (video) for "Sony Xperia Z repair, disassembly manual" site:rumble.com, NO results

5) then I tried a duckduckgo search (video) for "Sony Xperia Z repair, disassembly manual", ALL results were on youtube or dailymotion

6) then I tried a duckduckgo search (video) for "Sony Xperia Z repair, disassembly manual" site:rumble.com, NO results

The above tests results should mean something, though I don't know what exactly.

People aren't forcefully resettled. Their livelihoods just evaporate if they try to compete with places with natural advantages. I mean, we don't say agriculture is impossible because we can't feasibly grow bananas in Alaska.

If a place that's a renewable energy ghetto tries to compete with sun-soaked places by using nuclear, it won't go well. When solar is being pumped out at $0.013/kWh in UAE, trying to drive internationally competitive heavy industry with nuclear that's an order of magnitude more expensive just won't work. This is a disconcerting new reality for places that have been competitive in a fossil fuel era. They are competing with the best case renewables in a global market.

I'm going to take a wild guess that none of the "fast" Python variants (Cython, Micropython, RPython etc.) support it.
