I think due to confirmation bias people seem to gravitate to the extremes—the mostly hunter vs mostly gatherer dietary arguments. People seem to miss that our bodies adapted to being able to basically use two forms of energy…glucose or fats and our bodies will try to adapt to run on whichever fuel is most abundant in our environment. It’s one of the reason why our species managed settle in and survive in both the arctic and the kalahari
But even the pursuit of optimality is a value, is it not? Even if you define what's best, could one then not choose to do the opposite? No individual is required to live an optimal life, and many purposely and self-righteously shun one.
Also good for folks to realize base camp is at 17k feet and you typically go up to 4 higher levels of camp over the course of a few days. You aren't climbing 0 to 29k feet in one day--at most it's more like 4-5k feet in one day.

Yes, in commercial form available at online retailers even. In fact, they’ve been available for many years dating back across multiple prior versions of the rPi.
With taskwarrior, could you not implement your 'rituals' as recurring tasks, then just activate/deactive them as the "seasons of life" change. No mention of the web UIs or mobile apps built for taskwarrior either, kinda seems like he skimmed the GitHub readme and didn't explore further.
Breaking: A CEO of a very successful company is a human being
It seems to me that every great tech company needs two things to get off the ground. A product that actually works well and execution on the business side. Few people have the skills to do both of these things well. Apple got started with the two Steves (Jobs and Wozniak). One built the first couple of computer designs. The other was a sales and marketing genius.

If you have a product that is possible to launch in just a couple months, then you might be able to get by as this guy did. If your product is much more complicated and takes several years for a solo developer to build, then you have to pick the CEO or CTO role and go with it.

My own project has been a work in progress for several years now. I can build it, but my sales and marketing talents are quite lacking. It is a new kind of data management system and it can be really tough to raise awareness and get people to try it out.
And not even then. Most VPN providers in the top 10 are actually very shady and their organizational structure is quite opaque.. to say the least. I wouldn't be surprised if at least half of the top providers are actually FBI fronts, like the ANOM chat app.

What is translated as “Calamus” (transliteration: qanû țâbu, or “aromatic cane”) might well be cannabis, particularly if ancient preferences align with modern.

You can look at it this way but it's much more useful to treat them as conceptually non-atomic.
It never mattered outside FOSS circles, in the 8 and 16 bit days every platform was a special snowflake, so the industry grew porting contractors, platform specialized studios and middleware.

If you dive into something like Ogre3D, you will see that actual 3D rendering API is a tiny slice of the whole cake, let alone in something like Unreal.
That might be the "best way" for you, but not for everyone.

Personally I have so many pictures that I really appreciate the "memories" that Apple Photos extracts and shows me from time to time. That would be very hard to implement yourself. It always picks good pictures and not random screenshots you have lying around or blurry pictures.

A directy listning is definitly not a scalable solution if you are not looking to just go through all pictures of a specific date.
I will never buy a vehicle that contains any kind of OTA capability. Presently, I think that means buying an old model ICE vehicle, as it seems current model years have all embraced that bullshit. I am certain that no EV will ever run fully offline. In that regard, true consumer car “ownership” seems to be coming to an abrupt end.
Rationality is a game. Played within a structure of rules (aka assertions, assumptions, axioms).

These rules are not themselves rationally born. They are born from habit, tradition, convention, aesthetics, consensus, utility, authority... Lots of possible sources for rules.

Logical consistency is one good rule. Puts the rational in rationality.

It's just a game. A dream. Ungrounded. That may be obvious, but it's easy to lose yourself in a dream. (Forever even.) That's important to keep in mind.
Firstly I'd suggest you stop using big words you don't fully understand if you want to have a meaningful discourse.

Otherwise it just feels like you are using random words with negative connotations just to sound impressive.

Spoiler: you don't, you sound like Putin when he starts talking of genocide of Russians in Ukraine. Ridiculous at best, disrespectful to victims of real genocides in general.

The whole Windows/IE bundling fracas has to be looked at in the context of Microsoft not only having a lot of unsavory business practices--as did it's welded together at the hip partner Intel--but also it was seen in the eyes of a lot of people as on the way to utterly dominate computing once Unix got pushed out of the way.

Add in the dominance of Office and Microsoft's presumed dominance of mobile once that became ubiquitous and a lot of people were looking for any lever to use against the company. All this activity probably made Microsoft back off a bit in some areas and likely tarnished its aura of inevitability a bit--but it's not entirely clear that it made much difference in the end. (And there were certainly people at the time arguing that the Microsoft winning over all narrative was deeply flawed.

that wouldn't even scratch the surface. ice climbing is always perilous and the mountain is a bigger foe than the altitude. as a mountaineer, every placement could be a fatal mistake, every piece of equipment a potential murder weapon, the layers of ice are constantly tricking you, the weather making its own decisions while the mountain avalanches and ice falls according to its own schedule. meanwhile you are logistically coordinating an impossible set of too many itineraries in many languages on a mostly linear track where simple queueing delay can be fatal for a myriad of reasons.
I really wish one of these supported Windows!

I use Apple at home and Windows at work and my one requirement is for a solution that works between it all - I’ve purchased both Things and OmniFocus and they are both great but killed by a lack of windows support for me.

NirvanaHq is the closest I have found - It’s the best thing I’ve found that’s opinionated about GTD and truly multi-platform. Having said this, the second either Things or OmniFocus release a Windows app I’ll immediately jump to that.
Getting products to market cost a lot of money. It’s hard to do organically unless you have your niche well defined.

Do enough people still use consumer Microsoft accounts? Except for myself, it has been a long time since I have encountered a hotmail address or live address or outlook address in the wild.

I've gotten career advice several times to get a GMail instead, because Microsoft was considered out of date and backward (not so much anymore).
Thinking about it, only internal time reporting tools. Both on my current and prior employer they only worked with Chrome or IE.

I think I overestimate the amount of broken sites due to the adblocker messing them up, not Firefox.
Personally, I think Mithril.js is the framework that is easiest to "fully understand" due to the small and logical API. There's no magic or complicated stuff going on if you know JS. The problem with Mithril is that it's not as widely used, so there's not as many resources and a large ecosystem around it.

Svelte.js sort of gives me the same feeling. There's more "magic" in Svelte, but at least its mostly hidden in the compilation step and you're mostly operating in normal HTML/CSS/JS.

Something highly unconspicuous: sinus rinsing. At least once a day; more if you get a cold or if you feel like it.

In abstract, I don't see a lot of downside to compiling down to SQL as an intermediate format. Or vice-versa, for that matter.

In practice:

1) Most attempts to do this historically have missed the point of an RDBMS (e.g. most ORMs).

2) SQL is cumbersome, but it's not quite cumbersome enough I'd want to bother with something else.

As a footnote, I find SQL-grade standards to be incredibly helpful. In 2022, I wish there were a strict standard, but in new domains, standards like this mean:

1) I can read code for virtually any database, with maybe gentle use of search engines, unless I get into really hairy corners. Ultimately, those, I can look up too.

2) If I write code for a new database, I don't need to learn anything; I can understand syntax with a few web searches.

3) For 90+% of SQL, I can write automatic scripts quickly and easily to translate between databases (when migrating, the remaining few percent, someone can do by hand, and it's a very tractable chore).

That's not the case jumping into a graph database or other stuff.

At the same time, they don't over-constrain things. If you want your database to have a BCD type, JavaScript stored routines, or some wonky form of virtual tables, you can.

Now, in 2022, we know enough to standardize all of this stuff, but I'm not sure we did when these tools were coming out.

As a footnote: I'm working in a domain with no standards, and if everyone could just pick JSON (or XML, or just about any one thing), we'd already have 50% of the benefit of a full standard. If people standardized a few nouns and verbs (e.g. 'user' versus 'user_id' versus 'actor' versus 'agent' versus ...), we'd be another 50% of the way there. Systems do different things, and I don't think going 100% of the way makes sense until we understand the domain better, but partial standardization is a huge win. I've been pushing hard for having partial standards, and hard for not having full standards yet.
This is probably not at all intuitive to the regular Windows user, my parents would never understand the implications of this.
It is unclear why the "density of folding" would be associated with "higher intelligence".

It is also unclear what scale is the "high" and "low" being measured on. Is it evolutionary "fitness"? If so, what is the point of comparing primates with whales? Their environments are completely different and they have clearly evolved different means to gather energy and sustain their lives.
and notably, if you actually climb mt everest, you start well above sea level so the total ascension is much less than 8848m. Clearly not a direct comparison
> that if it was rich enough for agriculture, or good for pastoralism, those lifestyles would have won out.

Have you read Guns, Germs and Steel? Agriculture and Colonialism went together, club and hand, not fork and hand. Agriculture didn’t win so much as it conquered the world at spear point.

I’ve even read a few feminist things recently that tie sexism to agriculture, one even claims that the plow is the worst thing to happen to women. That gives a much darker sentiment to “beating swords into plowshares”.
I wish I could read like this. I have such a hard time. I'll read a chapter or two a day of a book I enjoy, every night for days at a time. But I can never keep it going. I'm not sure what it is

Electricity is optionality. Electricity can be generated from a vast number of sources. Coal, wood, natural gas, nuke, hydro, PV, wind, waves, geothermal, hydrogen fuel cell, hydrogen turbine, four mules turning a crank… Even burning diesel or gasoline to charge an EV can be more efficient than burning it in an engine in a vehicle, because the generator can be run at its optimal RPM 100% of the time, and doesn't need a complicated (& lossy) transmission.

Moby Duck literally broke my brain and soul when I read it for the first time last year. I still think about that book about once a week, with some sense of foreboding excitement/dread.
Tibco has pulsar, kafka and jms for mainstream streaming & queueing use cases. And FTL for low latency messaging. Not exactly on TechCrunch, but there is a lot of it out there in enterprises.

You're right - the popular stuff doesn't really matter when it comes to subsidies. If CBC has their funding slashed, Hockey Night in Canada will continue there or elsewhere. It's the unpopular stuff that needs support.

They have the community version/premium model. Differentiators of premium (from https://photoprism.app/features):

* higher max res (900MP vs. 150MP)

* non-rate limited reverse geocoding

* higher quality maps

* premium themes

* visual configuration options

* hardware video transcoding

I really have no idea what you're trying to say here. If a system responds to events it's in a state? Is anything not a state machine by this definition?

Anyway, my point was that these are all just conceptual models and another conceptual model that's useful is one with non-atomic transitions.

Guns, Germs, and Steel is thoroughly discredited pop science. And even then you’re misrepresenting its claims.

Look to David Reich and his students for actual evidence based science on human migrations.

And of course there are virtually no impartial contemporary works on the Age of Exploration, because the politics of our day require vilifying those civilizations.

The objective reality is that the colonial period was just one of many human migrations. It wasn’t the worst, it wasn’t the first, it’s not the last, and there will be more, including the largest mass migrations in human history occurring right now.

How often does someone go through your code commit-wise? What is the business value of grooming commits, if the reviewer only looks at the branch diff (as they very well should, lest they miss something in the big picture)?
Unfortunately, nothing quite compares to the rise in elevation like it does in the Himalayas. On the first day of your Everest Base Camp trek, you have to go from Lukla (9,300ft) (airport where you land if you go from Kathmandu, Nepal) to the first camp, which is right below Namche Bazar (11,000ft).

The rise in elevation combined with carrying a 40lb backpack (average), and the difficult terrain leads to levels of tiredness that you can't quite achieve in any other scenario. A lot of it has to do with elevation of course, but the terrain on that EBC trek is absolutely ruthless.

That first day when we got to the first camp, I have never ever in my life been that tired, and even my guide who was with me - advised me not to sleep too much as it will make it worse.

I'm living next to a 1,800ft mountain right now (I'm in Norway) and I can do the roundabout hike in like 2 hours and yeah it stings physically, but it is maybe 1% of what you will feel in the Himalayas.
Here's a video that presents the science behind rotating detonation engines; the article was pretty light on detail. This video is at the other end of the spectrum, clearly intended for other researchers in this domain.
Or, if it's over your head (it was for me, at least while trying to wake up), you can still enjoy the pretty damn cool high speed imaging of the detonation waves in this type of engine.

Is it, though? I’d argue that nano is the most accessible, easily discoverable, and usable editor for simple text editing available on almost any Linux system out there.

It’s no IDE, but it never claimed it was either. It doesn’t require a manual, as even the shortcuts are shown at the bottom of the screen for reference. And it includes syntax highlighting, tab handling, and basic cut/copy/paste handling.

What is it you’re missing from a standard text editor?
No one reads notifications. They just click OK so they can get to the desktop.
A large part from that is due to the abhorrent conditions that most meat is produced in and the fact that (IIRC) livestock amounts to 15 times the biomass of all wild mammals combined right now. If you tally up land used to feed livestock and all the other side effects of the meat industry, it doesn't look very sustainable to me. It's kinda hard to have almost 8 billion people live like hunter gatherers I guess.

I would argue most are built on tradition, which offer the ability to build on the results of our forebears without reinventing the wheel. It's also helpful to have a little humility in the face of multiple complexities. That's why challenging tradition, while it can prove useful at times, does not come without a cost.

What I've noticed is that Russian authors are disproportionately mentioned among anglos, and Dostoevsky is himself disproportionately mentioned among those authors.

My hypothesis is that it's not just the orientalist appeal of the "Russian soul" you mentioned but its combination with Christian themes which means it is still familiar and easy to understand for Westerners. A bit like the equivalent of a rockstar: titillating but not deeply challenging.
And yet they arrived at their dark skin with improbable speed. How strange.

I used to think you’d struggle to replace an actual illustrator/artist because clients always want something specific. But really it isn’t about you giving them what they want it’s about them having to deal with you at all.

Why would I message the illustrator, negotiate rate, have a meeting then have back and forths trying to get what I want when AI can be running from the first moment without interacting with anyone else and it can be spitting out versions of the thing before you have the actual person in a video call.

It can do this all day and all night then someone just had to choose what version of the thing they want or nudge it closer.

It happened to art and I don’t see why devs think they’re immune.

On a long enough timeline, there may only be unfortunately project managers.

Hijacking this thread to comment that Atlanta (while hot and humid during the summer months) is ripe for extreme bike-ablity. It would involve additional expansion of the beltline bike paths, reclaiming roads for dedicated (and protected) bike lines.

There is nothing low effort about grains. They don't simply grow abundantly in nature without other animals eating them. In addition, before manual cultivation, wild, non selectively bred grains were nothing like modern grains.
