Dog food isn't very optimal for dogs...

Most wild dogs would eat almost exclusively fresh raw meat.

Whereas dog food tends to be dried meat with lots of corn as a filler. People wouldn't be able to afford 100% meat dogfood, because dogs eat a lot.

I personally am planning on getting my kid exposure to robotics for fun.. First Lego kits, then some easy components that move, then some LEDs, batteries, tiny servo motors and such. To take it up, or what to do with them is up to him..

I also make it a point to have him with me and help doing handy work around the house, and some of my weekend wood working(very limited as he can’t yet be around the power saws or much of fine saw dust).

I hope to give him as many chances as possible to get his spark. What that would be is a mystery.
Feedback on my language app please? (New updates)
Hey, I made an app to teach languages by talking to an AI in that language. Since posting about this before, I have made these updates (with some of your feedback!):
- Smarter AI
- Bug fixes
- Easier to use
- Better mobile interface
This is _amazong!_ (so amazing that it's caused me to misspell in excitement)

Sister comment I made about roast date. Super important for most snobs, along with dark/light roast etc. etc. there are lots of variations. But the roast date is interesting to me as it affects the "supply chain" aspect of this. You will have to fly/truck (but not sail) the coffee if you are not near where it was roasted.

This applies only to beans. For ground or instant ... doesn't matter. Damage has been done :-)....

It is not the same, but I quit smoking recently. Some things that worked for me:

* Find the reasons why you started this bad habit: I was a lockdown smoker: the best part of the day during the lockdowns for me was when I went out to our balcony with my wife and we had a coke and cigarette. What is the reason why you enjoy drinking? Can you get similar results without drinking? My wife and I started going for a walk whenever we wanted to smoke, this helped us relax, spend time with each other without the negative effects of smoking.

* Recognize the circumstances under which it is extremely difficult to stop: For me, it was hard to stop after an extremely frustrating and unproductive meeting, before and after job interviews, etc... in short, under stress. When do you tend to "fall off the wagon"? Once you recognized this, you can attempt to mitigate. I attended meetings with my running clothes on, and if I felt frustrated after the call, I went for a run.

* Be honest with your loved ones about your struggles. I told my wife and sister that I enjoy smoking, but it makes me feel physically sick and it destroys all my ambitions for the day. They could help you in many ways.

* Do not make the bad habit easy for you: I don't have cigarettes or beer at home, this way when I get the urge, my laziness might save me (who wants to go to buy cigarettes when it is cold outside?)

* Don't beat yourself up over small setbacks: guilt is a negative emotion that usually just triggers more of the bad habit. Recognize that you are human, forgive yourself and move on, feeling guilty will only work against you.

* If you had a small setback, do not make it big: if I badly desired a cigarette and I bought a pack, I smoked one or two, but after my "uncontrollable" desire was satisfied, I threw the other 17 out.

This list worked for me, but it might not work for you. I came up with it, there is no research behind it.
How to create serverless search for OpenJDK Mailing Lists?
These stores are not curated. They can catch the most egregious things, but they also are not really "safe" either. It would totally be worth 30% of my payment for a truly curated app store. However the Apple app store takes a lot of income for providing a negligible quality filter, updates, and taking payments (most payment processors take single digit percentages).

I'm not sure that's completely true. Banks are actually the main issuers of new money. The central banks are actually more of a banking lubricant I'm normal times. Obviously they can substitute from banks and make the credit conditions better. But they cannot really make them worse.

What's happening now is that most central bank have been stimulating the economy by lending at rates under the "natural" rate and they are now stopping.
It’s almost certainly not worth the bother.

I still use last.fm, connected to my Spotify account. Before it was connected to the iTunes with their desktop app. I always loved their listening analysis and charts, matching with other people's taste.
Why does the internal cross bridge between chains always have security holes?
A cross-chain bridge enables the transfer of data, mainly token assets, between blockchains to take advantage of greater liquidity, to build a better user experience in terms of transaction costs and completeness, and reduce main chain congestion by distributing transaction load across a larger ecosystem.
What app are you using for that? I was surprised to see Logic isn't available on iPad.
Same still last year, except now the unit cost nearly doubled. We pay for a handful of VMware licenses instead now, which is 10x cheaper (more expensive per license, but you don't need a literal hundred of them). I'm convinced that the only reason for this is so that Oracle can send invoices to companies using the evaluation license for this ridiculous minimum amount without it seeming worth a challenge in court when one only has four machines and doesn't need a hundred licenses.

maybe I should have added that the parental leave only applies to the mother. Fathers can just take a month off.

And since women can choose to go back to work after 1 year or even 2 years (at reduced pay until then) the kids can already go to the nursery although it's not free until they're 2.5 years old. Then kindergarten is free
IOT/SOC/SBCs.

No matter how you turn it. Apple? SOC/SBC. VR? The hardware is agin that. Phones. Laptops. Watches. Game consoles.

I would expect most electronics to move from microcontroller level to some sort of computer. The question is more where it sticks and provides value.

The toolchain is getting better by the day, even for hobby stuff. I am now used to send kicad stuff off for manufacturing. 2 weeks and I get a PCB back. Platformio removed the tool chain madnesses.

My son now wants to build a game console now. I might do that with him, for the joy of it.

I think the future will need peopke who can make physical digital things again. At a way bigger scale.

Btw most libraries (luxon, dayjs) that use Intl api to do timezone manipulation in chrome and nodejs and are excruciatingly slow. So slow that pods would get restarted because they would fail to respond to health check while doing the timezone manipulation, on moderate traffic (50req/s). I still use moment-timezone because it comes with it's own tzdata and it's 100x faster.

I think you can group working programmers (as opposed to hobbyists and dilettantes) into three broad categories:

- Newbies, still learning, don't know what they don't know.

- "Expert beginners," employable but lack curiosity, stuck at a mediocre skill level.

- Programmers you might call great, excellent, 10X. They have significant experience and domain expertise, constantly learn and expand their skills.

I don't have any numbers. Anecdotally in my (40+ years) experience most programmers fall into the "expert beginner" category. A few never seem to get out of the newbie phase -- five years in and can't write FizzBuzz or debug a simple program.

I got the "expert beginner" name from Eric Dietrich here:

I thought someone who's interested in new co-ops in this area would be interested in the history of a prior co-op that operated in this area.

Also, one of the things that the co-op seemed to value was treating workers well, which overlaps with one of my favorite recent stories of people banding together (a little like a co-op), to succeed. And that store is known for better prices than the others, making it more accessible while a certain premium store has been gobbling up other ones, so there's another social justice angle that might be of interest.
They update, look for, and provide documentation. They realize the value of good documentation.

They review their own PRs, with a focus on making them easy to review.

They are vocal on public channels and aren't afraid to ask questions outside their team - making sure that communication that could be relevant for other people isn't sent over DMs.

Yeah. Stable diffusion runs fine on my 8gb Polaris card (rx580) & I've heard of forks that will let you run it in 6 or even 4gb VRAM at a small cost in render time.

Sounds strange I know but without doubt what works best for me is freexrdp. It's good enough to feel native if you do not use 3d acceleration or heavy 2d acceleration. Even videoplayback is okay.

Thanks, that was fantastic. I played it in the 90s but was never much into sports either. I knew it was widely respected, and it was great to learn more.
> Healthcare and housing costs are some of the biggest stifles to innovation in this country.

(Assuming you are referring to the US) France has free healthcare, free education and a high degree of rent control. Do you have any quantitative data about a higher level of innovation coming out of France? I haven't seen any evidence as such.

UK has free healthcare (though not sure about housing costs). Does it have any higher innovate rate than the US?

What about Norway, which has an even better safety net than both France and the UK? I haven't heard much about Norwegian innovation, though happy to be proven wrong.

In general, innovation seems to be correlated to cultural factors and hunger of the population (eg. Singapore or Israel). This link[0] shows venture funding per capita which seems to be a good proxy - US is #4 and has 4x the score of France, Norway is not even in that list. Maybe that is a poor metric, but if you have a better one to support your claim, happy to be proven wrong.

UTM is really good. It’s basically just a nice GUI around QEMU. But their bundled version of QEMU also includes a patch to get SPICE working, the homebrew and Macports versions don’t have SPICE working so clipboard access and auto display resizing doesn’t work. Or at least I couldn’t get them to work.

The Ubuntu ARM image from their “gallery” works perfectly out of the box so is a good starting point.

Perhaps it is because the developers use Macs and thus easiest to release for it first. I would be interest to know whether the products you are referring to are followed by a Linux or a Windows release, if any. Of course, my observation only applies to native apps. Anything using Electron or some cross-platform tooling might have less obstacles to being launched on all major platforms.
I’ve been veggie for 25 years. I accidentally ate some meat a few years and ago and, after vomiting through the night, it took me three days to recover. I actually lost my voice! My body rejected the meat, it felt unnatural to eat it.
I've found it easy to stop a great deal of such behaviors by examining not what they promise to deliver, but what they actually brought. I.e. don't look forward, look backward when making decisions.

Alcohol promises a great time. Alcohol delivers a hangover and regrets.

Junk food promises a great time. Junk food delivers poor health and regrets.

Going to the gym promises hardship and struggle. It delivers health. I've never once regretted it.

Reading a book promises struggling and boredom. It delivers wisdom and inspiration. I've never once regretted it.

If you compare what you think you will happen with what you know will happen from experience, it's very easy to see how often you are misjudging these things.

An O'Neill cylinder would consist of two counter-rotating cylinders. The cylinders would rotate in opposite directions to cancel any gyroscopic effects that would otherwise make it difficult to keep them aimed toward the Sun. Each would be 5 miles (8.0 km) in diameter and 20 miles (32 km) long, connected at each end by a rod via a bearing system. Their rotation would provide artificial gravity.

> Yes, but remember that the UN Security Council has a habit of fabricating evidence

The UN Security Council is not a singular entity, it's composed of permanent and rotating members, so it can hardly have "habits". A member can come with fabricated evidence, which can be accepted by other members for whatever reason, but that's not the UN Security Council fabricating evidence.
MS Word also has great support for mathematical typesetting. And if you restrict yourself to unicode-math for your math symbol font files, for a long time LaTeX packages and TeX compilers for that had bugs whereas MS Word just worked. I'm not too sure about the state of Unicode Math font support today.
I’ve read about 40 short stories over the last 3 weeks. On the one hand, I’m glad to see a thread about them in here — that is awesome! On the other, a lot of my favourite stories have been from lesser known authors and it feels bad thinking of how hard it would be for one of them to get a lot of upvotes like a famous person would

For those who don’t know, indie publishing is extremely arduous, yet a lot of the work is excellent. Some time, go out and pick a short story collection by a group of authors you have never heard of and check it out! You might be surprised by what you find (provided the editor was good).

Note: there are often 10-100 submissions for every one that gets accepted too, so you are already having the less interesting ones filtered out for you, if you ever worry about that

Although it is undeniable how good vBulletin was, UBB (original Ultimate Bulletin Board written in Perl, not the newer UBB.threads) will always have a special place in my heart. I always loved its esthetics, maybe because of the memories of nice communities using UBB I was part of. I even wrote an ASP forum script that mimicked its style.

Back in the day, UBB was the most popular forum script but when vBulletin came out with its extremely comprehensive administration panel and constantly improving features, it started to replace UBB very fast. Then appeared free alternatives like phpBB, which probably became the most popular alternative for a long time and also there was a popular alternative written in ASP: Web Wiz Forums.
>This is probably behind Oracle's move to remove Opus from Virtualbox recordings and revert to Vorbis, as of v.7.

Do you mean Oracle is being defensive and doesn't want to be sued ? Or that Oracle is going to join this patent pool and go after others, and hence won't be able to use Opus themselves without being counter-sued ?
Yes.

Indiscrete Thoughts by Gian-Carlo Rota is full of this sort of thing
[1]. In fact he made me see mathematics as a unique domain that
escapes both empiricism and rationalism. It's real and out there to be
discovered timelessly by each civilisation, and yet we make it all up
as we go along. There's nothing new under the sun - except the next
thing you can imagine.

It's more of an approach that is maintainable and straightforward, and only coincidentally (well, not really...) also straightforward and fast to execute.
That's can be a super hard line to draw as many hardware implementations are just firmware running on hardware with some specialized dsp instructions.
