CICO isn't about counting calories, all you have to do is to gradually eat less until you start losing or maintaining the weight you want. CICO guarantees that to work, and lots of people have used that strategy to lose weight, it works 100% of the time if you follow it properly.

It wont work for everyone though, since many people can't make themselves eat less without following some rituals, the problem there isn't CICO but that those people can't implement a CICO diet properly. But that doesn't mean that CICO is a useless concept for losing weight, it just means that those people needs more help to keep their psychology in check.

Saying that CICO isn't useful when CICO is the basis for every single weightless diet in existence is just ignorance or a lie. All weightless diets either makes you absorb less calories by some method, or make you burn more calories, so the first thing when looking at a diet is asking how it relates to CICO. Trying to sweep that under the rug as some old school nonsense principle that has proven to not work just proves how much nonsense there is in nutritional "science".
I hear this a lot from people who don't understand how much hard work is involved in the art life, or generalize from notoriously feckless examples.
Seems like a meaningless distinction? The owner knows he’s being an ass - he wrote a whole article about it.
I have no problem with people liking stadia. I'm against cloud gaming because of its own issues. I am against google because of its owm issues.

I'm sure one could be pro stadia/cloud gaming and still be cognizant of the garbage google pulls.

I am glad you are enjoying stadia, and I truly hope it'll be one of the services that survive, maybe it'll improve cloud gaming issues to the point I'd be on board.

But the op was in here touting google rarely closes paid offerings, ignoring they dont have many paid offerings and those are every bit at risk of being 'googled' like all their other services.

Google's own track record is every reason for me to put zero trust in them.
Wow, breaking news! Americans refuse to drive two wheeled vehicles for no particular reason!

Truly, a shocking new development.
there's a screenshot of greentext from one of the *chans where a visual artist describes the physical and mental revulsion of furry art (the artist is revolted), and the fact that no matter what, they pay the most, usually up front. the artist would love to make normal commissions, but there's no money in it.

I've personally been part of about a dozen musical albums, i've never seen a penny or any recognition for it. One thing i managed to upload to the internet got a third of a million hits, but it was happenstance, not music, and i just happened to edit wikipedia very quickly and have a really good sound file host at the time. It was the "re-awakening" of the UVB-76 "buzzer" in ~2010 - and i can't even remember how i recorded it anymore! Wired magazine and a few other outlets approached me to license the recording. If you've heard the "NAIMINA" recording of UVB-76, that was something that was originally put on the internet by me.

I haven't released a "real" song in over a decade.
Another trick I use is to put all of my stuff into .ssh/config.d/ and then run `ssh-compile` and it generates .ssh/config for me.

This lets me pull in new config files and hosts without having to redo everything every time.
You got there in the end ;)
My friend works at an F# consultancy - from what I’ve heard it’s definitely growing in popularity! I used it for some windows profiling in 2020 which was pretty cool too, albeit only really a single script.
My hunch is that the underlying problems are

1. Easy, govt backed loans allow the schools to raise prices without reducing demand

2. Most of this extra revenue is not spent on academics, but rather admin staff, new student housing / amenities, and loss centers like sports

3. Students choosing paths that cannot pay back the debt they take

I think all parties have blame to share, though the schools maybe the most through their exploitive practices

I'm hopeful that new learning paths will emerge so that people can find meaningful, sustaining work without the traditional 4 year degree
> kids need millions of experiences of conflict, getting lost, struggling with something, failing in a low-stakes environment

Does Jonathan Haidt (who is very close to my own age BTW) not get that most of these things can happen with video games too? There might be a lot of other benefits to being outdoors, and drawbacks to video games, but in terms of these specific things that are core to his thesis, the contrast is nowhere near as great as he makes it out to be.
I think the model is only really sustainable at "affordable prices" in high density areas. New York is a good example. You can watch videos following e-bike delivery drivers in these high density areas. They're sometimes retrieving and delivering multiple orders within a 15 minute period. Unfortunately New York isn't the greatest example because the high wages are offset by the extreme housing costs.
It feels incredibly wasteful to send someone driving around to pick up some tacos, but as long as I can get it fairly cheaply, I'll continue to do it.
Yeah you can read someone's personal account on how they are able to clear $20 an hour regularly doing delivery, but they have to employ all kinds of strategies to do so,

So if they have the skills and tenacity to consistently make slightly better than a living wage (probably for only a few hours a day) they probably have what it takes to get and keep a regular job paying notably better?
> I visited the country in January and some restaurants mentioned which items you could and couldn't buy using bitcoin on the menu

What exactly is the thinking there? Was it just a price limit or something more involved?
Line going up is good for people who already own and local tax collectors.
The thing with starving artists is: they're meant to starve.
Put another way, the cost of operating a car that involves any significant amount of mileage over time--especially in areas that don't see a lot of corrosion due to salted road roads in winter--is mostly per-mile costs not time-based. If you drive your car a lot, there's very little free money that you're tapping into.
If you offer high enough margins and volume I guarantee someone will import food or fuel for you in exchange for bitcoin.
How do you limit the queries allowed in the UI aka prevent someone from making a really slow / large query? Do you general not use supabase directly in the UI and write an API that your front end can call instead?
I hope anyone who wants to pursue the arts doesn’t let pessimists like this discourage them from expressing themselves in the ways they love best.

I can say from experience that becoming a self-employed artist is possible, but not easy or quick.

My path was to find a full-time job that used different parts of my brain from my art. I used my limited free time to brainstorm, create, and publish whatever I could make time for to slowly build an audience for about a decade.

Eventually enough folks discovered my work (and found themselves jobs themselves that allowed them more discretionary income) that becoming a self-employed artist became feasible for me.

Over three-quarters of my revenue is direct audience support like tips or Patreon. I make enough for my kid to have opportunities my parents couldn’t afford for me—while determining my own schedule and being more available to her day-to-day than my dad could be either.

I acknowledge it’s a gamble to buy supplies and spend time to make something, publish it, and travel to meet your audience a few times a year. I admit I’m lucky it paid off for me. But it isn’t as near impossible as the author makes it out to be.
Where did I say otherwise?
>a high pressure shock wave that effectively makes the prop not prop-shaped, so it can't move air.

Leading micro eddys can solve this.

If the induction is a straight stream, it will fail - you need to direct micro eddys

If you do this with mechanical means (deflection cowlings) you will hit a limit.

The ideal design is in the funneling of eddys as they traverse in a super spiral between the front eddy and as it spirals to the thrust vector.

however, pre-ionizaton, and then magnetic ion direction can swirl the eddy to the desired output. However, AIR is not the thrust component at this time, its ionized energy which is being "thrust" (thrust is typically thought of as a 'push' - but this is actually a 'pull'

Pickup customers subsidized the cost of delivery. drivers earned money folding boxes, delivering flyers other prep work. and drivers would take upto 4 orders at a time.
It becomes even worse if you run into people who operate on cutting edge knowledge from decades ago and insist on it.

I've seen people organize their data in a cache-pessimal way in order to squeeze out a couple of CPU cycles, for example. It becomes really tiring when you constantly have to whip up a benchmark just to settle debates on things that have been common knowledge for basically forever now.
Sure, in a sense, but I think the point of where exactly it occupies on the hierarchy of needs is worthwhile to keep in mind.
Meanwhile a one way ticket cost US$975 in 1977 or inflation adjusted about 4,700$ today. Which increased faster than inflation so by mid 90’s your talking around 6,000$ which is something like 12,000$ today.

Thus fuel while expensive wasn’t a deal killer over most of it’s history as long as they could keep most seats filled.
Strange to presume all domains are equivalent. Stock-picking and math-savant-esque talent are very distinct from almost every domain where one would value tenured expertise: surgery, aeronautics, civil engineers. Goodness me: consider your blind spots.
Having a state algebra can also help with speculative execution, as when doing FRP-like complex event processing on human input device streams, while preserving responsiveness despite diverse latencies.

Consider doubleclick. After a click, rather than pausing for 30 frames to see if a second click eventually shows up, you can act immediately, and if there's later a second click, retract and rerun with a doubleclick event.

With incremental speech recognition, interpretation of past words can change as a sentence progresses, so "Launch the missiles!" can replay as "Lunch is mussels! In butter!".

Keyboard and ml-based visual tracking have very different latencies. So when combining them (eg, which finger pressed the key, where on the keycap, and what were any other vision-derived key modifiers), you can pursue a guessed-at transition immediately, and then correct if needed when tracking finally coughs up the hand pose.

Edit: Hmm. Well... having "retractable state transitions". "Algebra" has other implications. Edit edit: s/reversible/retractable/ - sorry.
Scrimba has pretty great interactive classes too. They specifically have a free React one: https://scrimba.com/allcourses?topic=react

It's quite high quality and the learning environment is great: you're in a live code editor + hear and see the teacher's code/cursor movements.
That is specifically how it's designed. If you want to create a bunch of identical but differently-named projects, put them in separate directories.

Why on earth would you want to have lots of different directories that all point to the same instance? That's simply idiotic.
The simple solution would be to make the debt hypothetically discharge-able again and to get the government bubble of money out of the picture of higher education. I suspect the market would mostly regulate itself at that point, but then you get into the whole "not equal opportunity" crap. I hate to say it, but it isn't equal now. You trade proportions of colors of students for everyone has a degree, no one has a job, and everyone is in debt.

Reminds me a little of Star Trek TNG's The Game[1], where the crew becomes addicted to an automated AR/VR game that just sits there autoplaying, directly manipulating the brain's pleasure sensors. Something like this, but one that also slowly transfers the contents of the user's bank account to a corporation, could be the ultimate end-result of our current capitalist-technologist trajectory.

> My point in suggesting metrics is they force you to think about what is important and to look for data to measure it. This helps to mitigate the "I feel bad..." scenario that could simply the be the result of negative press cycles.

Agreed. But, I'm not even sure the "I feel bad" part is outside the realm of examination.

I'll make a point (poorly) that there is some innate "fairness" heuristic that we share with our close relatives[1], especially those that are highly social. Even if we're, on paper, "objectively" better off, if that "fairness" heuristic doesn't agree with reality then we risk social instability - that the heuristic if left unchecks results in unrest, violence, and revolt.

Do we have an responsibility to oblige these instincts even if they are irrational? What if not doing so results in real negative consequences?

Switch teams to a different domain every six months?

In the domains I’ve worked in, it might take six months just to get the basic idea sketched out and working. The current project has a timeline of 8 years to full completion — two years just to get to the first minimal release for a subset of our problem domain and the hardware to run it on.

It sounds like you’ve been doing unchallenging work in unchallenging domains and have acquired a much too inflated opinion of yourself in the process.
Maybe not, but it certainly sounds plausible given the level of hype Mr. Kamen had around the project prior to its announcement. I remember it being a total media circus.

One thing I had completely forgotten is how mediocre the specs were on the first generation Segways. Top speed of 17mph, but realistically more like 12. Range: up to 17 miles. Charge time: 10 hours. MSRP: $4,500.

This is also one of those rare consumer products with dubious distinction of killing its own creator.
The two largest projects that I write documentation for are https://docs.datasette.io/ and https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/ - they're both big projects with multiple contributors, though most of the commits are still from me.

I find the same approach I take to READMEs for smaller projects scales up pretty well: any time I make a change to one of my larger projects I ensure that the documentation is updated as part of that change.

If I accept a PR from someone without documentation I'll follow up by adding the docs for it myself in the next commit. I think that's more reasonable than demanding people add documentation if it's not necessarily their core skill set.

Honestly, I'd love to experience working with a professional technical writer on this kind of thing, but that's not something that's happened at any point in my career to date!
When I checked it was 46MB! Looking at the network tab, it seems to be making a bunch of extra requests for the same assets.

I know that Vercel/Next.js will lazily load in certain JS chunks but there seems to be some mechanism that is loading a ton of stuff up front. Edit: from other comments in this thread, it's the sandbox code, really crazy how much overhead that adds to the page!
Anywhere you have snow is going to have to have deliveries done by car.
Generally when you're having meetings about meetings, you're crossing the line into a meeting-dominated culture. History and common sense tell us that meetings may be where some decisions are made, but they are not where actual IC work gets done.
> So a society as a whole may want to patron some artists, regardless of what they make.

But do we? As in, are there artists who receive money regardless of their production?

Even on Patreon, most artists are paid because they're regularly putting out art, not because they exist as an artist. They're being paid to churn out art on a regular basis for their patrons, not for society as a whole.
> How do they onboard new members to their terrible setup, one might wonder?

I can't speak for the specific companies you listed, but the number of times I've heard someone sing praises about a homegrown UI framework at their place of employment is approximately zero. The sentiment expressed about those is generally hatred and agony.

That's not to say it can't be done well, but most don't. Also, a company being able to hire/onboard engineers does not imply that their onboarding process is smooth, or that their house-made framework is well designed.
I suspect the avg take from an order is at least $10.

Grubhub, for example, will charge you an 18% service fee, a $1 "big/expensive city" fee, a tip (for the driver), and then also a delivery fee on top of that.

That's before the inflated menu prices and price gouging they do to the businesses.

Still, it's a lot more economical for reasonably busy delivery places to just employ their own drivers that can take care of a few deliveries in one shot.
The original is in the Castle of Bois, near Da Vinci tomb AFAIK.
That's a post-modern/materialist/rationalist philosophical take, but I don't think that is the major historical view. Does Beauty have intrinsic value? I suspect that many people go to art museums to see Beauty, but they certainly don't go there to find out how good of a salesman the artists were [a) the original prices are rarely displayed, b) the museum did not usually buy directly from the artist]. Some people might go to see what historical people thought was art-worthy (filtered through the museum's view of what is worth buying/displaying); an art-historian approach. Others in the field might go to explore the craftsmanship. But I think Beauty is a large draw. And the exchange of Beauty for (often) artificial meaning in modern art is why it remains controversial for museum-goers today.
- How is vim + tmux compatibility these days? Particularly with regard to powerline, etc. types of plugins? Is there a good resource that helps one set this up from scratch?

- I find that SSH times out / disconnects if unused but only on my mac, not on my linux machine. I don't have any of the configs described here on either machine, so I'm not sure why one disconnects and one doesn't - is there some out-of-the box macOS default that needs to be changed, or is it some arcane battery optimization macOS feature that's killing the SSH sessions?
> Expecting business to randomly protect people from abuse is just wishful thinking.

Excellent point! Unfortunately, at least to me, it seems like most people who are pro DEI _do_ think that such policies are enacted for moral reasons. Which would be fine, think what you want, but it’s pretty frustrating to be told that my actual problem with it is that I’m just a privileged white guy who’s afraid.
Naw, you're right. Typos are evil.
> Most podcasts being created now will probably still fail

there's somewhere in the ballpark of 5,000,000 serialized podcasts. "Most ... fail" is barely descriptive!
tips weren't that good back in the older days. most people only tipped a $1 if anything and thought the delivery fee went to the driver which in a way it did because they usually got paid hourly plus a small fee.
Under. Way under.

Google Glass's spectacular failure had a chilling effect on the entire industry, but it failed due to (1) lack of killer apps, (2) poor aesthetics, and (3) consumer concern about privacy.

But ML has revolutionized image and video processing, Apple etc. could design a less hideous headset, and nobody cares about privacy anymore.
This type of article is itself the death of democracy for me. I've been trying to put it into words in a way that won't get me utterly downvoted by the same ideologues that consume such content, and I'm not really sure how. Maybe one way to phrase it would be, if you wanted to make the article even more biased, how could you possibly do it? It's written entirely from one point of political view, by someone who has no interest in impartial journalism, and they just spend the entire article pointing out negative things about their political opponents. Of course they conveniently forget to ever mention a single negative thing done by their side, or to list similar ways Google search benefited them unfairly. I couldn't make it more biased if I tried.

The fact that in modern times "democracy" has been made to equal whatever the blue end of the spectrum believes to be true, and if any different belief gets a voice or a vote it's the "end of democracy", "damaging democracy", etc., and needs to be censored and removed from society, is itself the death of democracy.
One thing that interests me about Dall-E and other art-making, is, I wonder if it will eventually lead to individuals making their own high-quality animated feature films and "triple-a" games. Will these tools get to the point that an individual can make a unique triple-a game in their bedroom?
Look at e-jen containers, they're for kimchi normally but I use them for fermenting tons of things. They're great.
It does not make it impossible at all. And it also does not need to. You can talk about how groups are influenced or how they interact without making all the interaction to be result of "merely" just that.

How long until it's possible to make an open source attractive practical touchscreen phone from bits? Not another 24 years, that's for sure.
Hi Ahmed, I want to read your piece, but your opening sentence needs some work:

>Us denizens of the Internet have become familiar with concepts that were foreign more than a decade ago, one of the most that causes the most influence is going viral.

This is largely unintelligible and, as a writer, I think something you should consider making more concrete. Otherwise, you run the risk of leaving your readership confused and, ultimately, not reading your work.

Ask HN: Anyone here switch to Go for building (REST) APIs?
As the title states, did you switch to Go/Golang for developing REST api’s or other kinds of web services? What has been your experience? Would you use Go again in the future? Would you rather use something else?
Of course it does. There are some very skilled musicians who are extremely popular, and also thousands of entirely interchangeable boy-bands and girl-bands and what not that have hits as long as a large PR machine is there to market them, and as long as they focus on milking their celebrity.

Making money in music isn't that much different from making money in tech. This very day there is/was a post on the front page about Adam Neuman(sp?) getting bankrolled yet again. Why? Because he is described as the world's greatest pitch man.

Likewise, crypto. Who's making money? The smartest programmers? or the people who know how to promote their projects?
