Long abstinence is the key. I have been able to re-frame my relationship with alcohol successfully---but this is often not the case for long time habitual users. I cut out alcohol, but substituted in non-alcoholic beer (they are VERY good now) and high CBD / low THC cannabis. I felt nearly no "high", but found that it hit the spot that the first beer would. Eventually once the habit was broken I kept drinking the near-beer and stopped the cannabis except for occasionally, and it worked!
This may not be an option for you, but it worked for me.

The thing that I find holds me most accountable is exercise. If I'm preparing for something (a race or a bout) then drinking undoes all the hard training and it's evident in my performance.

The longest I went was about a year. I still enjoy the odd drink and very occasionally might have a bigger night but I feel fairly well moderated.

If you're really going for zero (or close to zero) then it's going to need a bigger habit change (which could be assisted by something like forming a new complementary habit).

As for social settings, it takes a lot of personal discipline but I find most people are quite respectful and encouraging if you assert that you have kicked a habit for good.
Sometimes alcohol overuse is indicative of metabolic problems. Their brain say 'starving, please feed me', but because of insulin resistance sugar can't get into the brain cells. Ethanol has 7 calories/gram. It gets converted into acetate, which is easily used by the brain as fuel. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14085230

Naloxone and naltrexone can be really helpful at reducing the amount of alcohol that you can consume. Naltrexone is FDA-approved for alcohol abuse. My friend's alcohol use was under control for about 2 weeks after her treatment with naloxone. Low dose naltrexone is probably more beneficial than full-dose...

Another friend told me of how, while on naltrexone, she could have a beer, then half of a second beer, but couldn't finish the second beer. She drank to make her emotional problems go away - it was easier to stop the naltrexone than the alcohol.

Can second this, with a 7 week old even the slightest risk of a hangover isn't worth a few hours of fun. My partner not being able to drink definitely helps.

A true environmental activist should be advocating for nuclear war. The resulting explosions should launch enough material into the atmosphere to help cool the planet a bit and hold off climate change a while longer. And once vast regions of the earth are blanketed in nuclear radiation, it would allow for lush greenery and human abandoned landscapes to thrive, where animals can roam free, albeit with some mutations but most of which should calm down after a few generations of breeding and natural selection.
What kind of applications are they? I've had very much the opposite experience.

> Whereas Japan would’ve continued the war and brought it back to the US mainland eventually.

This is simply ahistoric.

Japan was on the brink of loss and everyone knew it (including all of Japan's military and political leaders) -- Japan was already suing for peace long before the bombs were dropped. The main sticking point was the conditions of surrender and the Japanese were deluded (partially by the US, intentionally or not) into thinking Russia could get them more favourable surrender conditions. These delays, combined with the use of the bomb being a foregone conclusion in the minds of the US leadership regardless of Japan's stance and what seems to be at least some wish to show America's might, lead to the bombings.

No reputable historian (nor the statements made by several important military figures at the time) could make a credible argument that in 1945, Japan's loss was not already a foregone conclusion irrespective of the bomb, let alone suggesting that Japan would be able to even attempt to invade the US. If the US had explicitly stated they would not try the royal family for war crimes and keep the 帝 (emperor) alive, Japan would've surrendered (this is literally the only important condition they wanted, and it's what the US was planning on doing anyway).

Mind over matter. The Last drink I had was about 8 months ago.

Same with coffee. I waiting till i got the flu then quit coffee. The idea is if I'm going to feel like shit and need to rest lots i might as well take advantage of it.

I still drink a cup or two of black tea a day but no coffee anymore.

If I'm not in control of my mind then who is? If I cant control what i consume then I'm not in control of my mind...

I didn’t say any and all ideas coming from China are bad, merely that we should be cautious of anything that got adopted with a wildfire speed throughout the Chinese society.

These ideas get so widely adopted for a reason, and that reason is often that a particular idea thrives in, or reinforces, a totalitarian social environment. For example, “everything apps” are a dream come true for any anti-democratic regime.

A single point where all everyday transactions and information flows through, that you can easily monitor and influence to control citizens? And it comes with free network effects that mean you don’t have to spend time eradicating or control competing ecosystems? Very useful.
It also has an "-a" flag that just runs the right compressor based on output file name. "tar -acf archive.tar.gz" and "tar -acf archive.tar.zst" will do the right thing in both cases.
It's been a few days, but I still had the original files in their original locations. So:

root@darkstar:/usr# date -u; time gzip < local-revert.tar > local-revert.tar.gz
Tue Oct 11 02:49:32 UTC 2022

real 24m35.214s
user 23m57.449s
sys 0m27.327s
root@darkstar:/usr#

From the linked article, for convenient reference, making the .tgz file with tar cvzf took about 28.2 minutes. Making an uncompressed .tar file took about 1.2 minutes. Just now, compressing with gzip took 24.6 minutes. It seems, in this situation, about 2.4 minutes might be saved by creating the tar file first and then compressing separately.
Don't think about it as quitting anything. The default is to not partake. Do some introspection to figure out what it's providing for you, and look elsewhere for whatever that is.
Was their point really about rent?

Rent absolutely will go up regardless the exact mechanism, but rent and the specific mechanism by which rent rates are set, is just a detail and silly to focus on.

It's just a stand-in for a concept. Replace "rent" with "cost of living".

Their stated point was that the money will be re-absorbed by the same people it was meant to combat, by countless mechanisms.

If the money is meant to empower people currently too disadvantaged, it mostly won't, because the entities in control of things that resulted in some people being squeezed too hard, will still be in control of the same things, and the net result will be that the extra money becomes a no-op number shuffle.
I’ve heard this a lot, but my experience is actually very different using Anki to study medicine. While I agree creating cards definitely helps with memory, it’s extremely time consuming. If I need to memorize several chapters of material, I might give up if I had to create flash cards for all that content manually.

For medical students, there’s a fixed number of study resources that create a shared knowledge context for everyone using them. Anki decks are created from these resources and shared. In this case, shared decks are actually useful, high quality, and closely cover the material.

It’s much more efficient to use these premade decks - in the time it would take me to create one card I could have reviewed 5. If you have high quality decks, you can really optimize time spent on active recall by doing flashcards.
One thing that can help is to understand that no one is going to save you. You have to decide not to drink on your own. Once you see that, you can work on setting your life up in a way that makes it easier to make healthier decisions. Also don’t feel guilty when you drink. Just decide you want to be healthy, and that drinking leads you away from that goal. It’s not about quitting drinking. It’s about deciding that health is your priority, and drinking simply isn’t helpful is supporting your priority.

I kicked alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis. Not all at the same time, and not all on my first try. Everyone's usage is different so you have to figure out what works and doesn't work for you.

First thing is you have to really want to quit. If you don't want to do it, it will be a lot harder. Try to really think through the ways your substance use is harming you in the short term or long term, be it physically or mentally or whatever. People get really really strong cigarette cravings when they quit, but if you've started to feel lung pain in your daily life and actively realize the damage you are doing to your body, it's a lot easier to hold off on those cravings.

If your pattern is to go long periods without drinking and then binge a bunch in one weekend, maybe you just need a strategy to get you through the one weekend that you do feel like it. Anything that can delay it- eg say I won't drink until I clean the whole house and go to the gym. and maybe when you do finish cleaning and exercising a few hours later you won't feel like you want it as badly or can say no to your urge.

If going to bars is what tempts you into a drink, and you go to bars more to socialize than anything, try to find some socialization somewhere that people don't drink or where drinking is a detriment, like hiking or sports or Magic the Gathering or what ever floats your boat.

Rather than wallow in self pity, forgive yourself for your mistake and then try again. Don't excuse yourself like well I already had one so I guess I failed... you had one, but one is better than two or ten, so don't give up, start again and keep at it! If you were doing a programming project and your first prototype went a bit poorly you wouldn't give up (hopefully), if you knew you could do it, you'd take what you learned and try again with a new prototype.

#3 is the parlor trick, and nobody seriously into blind tasting will claim that they can do this reliably.

On the other hand, they will be able to taste a wine blind and list out its objective qualities such as acidity, tannins, alcohol level, aromatic markers, etc. These will generally be quite accurate. From these one can deduce varietal, approximate age, quality level, region, etc. Naming the specific vintage or appellation is doable, but requires a lot of knowledge of vintages worldwide and a lot of guesswork. Anything beyond that is probably bullshit as you say.
I wasn't intending to challenge anything of yours. I just saw a lot of "dreambooth" activity on /r/stablediffusion. I haven't kept up on activity in the last week or two and figured you'd know what it was.

No one said otherwise.

This is where you're wrong. You misunderstood these concepts as if they were mutually exclusive. Torrent DHT is absolutely distributed and decentralized [0]. QED.

>It seems the inability to differentiate those two words is a scam worth more than 4 billion.

The scams in crypto are older than modern computers themselves. Ponzi schemes and straight up securities fraud, just wrapped in NewHotThingTM. Has nothing to do with decentralization or distributed systems.

If anyone is thinking of doing this, it is both this easy and way harder.

Yes, this is an approximate workflow. It doesn’t take that much specialized knowledge to get it running.

However step 2/3 (find/download a dataset of interest) is harder. Finding whole genome sequencing data for a cancer that you can download without being part of a research institution is difficult. There are a lot of controls over who can access raw DNA sequences from patients. RNA data are much more readily available as they are less identifiable.

Specifically, here is the type of access you need:

https://gdc.cancer.gov/access-data/obtaining-access-controll...

The reasons for this are good and I’m not trying to say otherwise. Just that from a practical perspective, being able to technically perform the analysis is doable for many non-biomedical people here. However, accessing the raw data is much more difficult.
absolutely. Failing is the fastest way to learn.. I encourage mindful failure.

On the iPad, you don't even need the App Store as a vector to install malware. As long as your iCloud account is syncing iMessage, you're susceptible to the same exploit chains that Pegasus used months ago (and presumably future encoder bugs, despite Apple's sandboxing efforts).

Using malware as an excuse to stop sideloading is a scare tactic. It's this generation's terrorism scare, but malware still grips both systems all the same. Apple can keep their current defaults, but being forced to jump through a bajillion hoops just to install gimped software is a disservice to the iPad as a device. Even Microsoft is willing to let you run Linux on their tablets.

All of this is not to say that Apple will unlock the iPad. It's the right thing to do, but since when has Apple erred on the side of customer freedom?

> Any tips on cutting out something completely and how to get out of just hating yourself when you fail?

Honestly, cutting something cold turkey is the hardest thing and requires hard willpower.

It might work better if you wean yourself off, don't turn down the drink but just zip a bit and leave it. If the foggy head feeling still happens with a zip your body will eventually just reject that idea.
For me, it took internal alignment. A break through for me was understanding how vegans manage their diets. For vegans, their identity is they are vegan. They don't eat meat because that is who they are as a person.

When I decided to stop drinking, I decided my new identity was someone that does not drink. It took about 6mo to fully get ok with not drinking, but I am happy I did it :)
I was comparing to a case where the figure would be much, much higher than it would be for this bakery. But even then, a 30% increase in input prices would only translate into a 10% increase in food prices, or a $4 bagel becomes $4.40. Woe is us!

They’re not. An entitlement is enough.
UBI is just lazy form of government subsidies. The main issue here is that government is lousy at dispersing governmental aid/subsidies. Doing UBI means you save the cost of "civil servants managing subsidies" and give 100% of those subsidies to "people in need" (meaning everyone) blindly without any check and balance. What could go wrong? The entire premise of government involvement is not efficient is just false. Look at Singapore. There able to disperse subsidies extremely efficiently. The issue is USA and majority of governmental admnistrators and leaders. Few are in the long hurl, highly educated, and think long-term (several decades) like the Chinese. You get very low quality and lowly educated bureaucrats elected to high position (Canadian Justin, Zelenskyy and Joe Biden are some glaring examples while Asians have Singaporean Prime Minister able to code Sudoku in C++).

The vast majority of Swift users are developing for iOS.

The article is about macOS and private API. Thus it's only relevant to a small subset of developers who write native Mac software distributed outside the App Store.

If you earn $75,000 privately and pay, say $20,000 in tax and then the government institutes a UBI of $15,000 and increases your taxes to $35,000, the only change you are likely to see is an increase in competition for some types of goods and services.

It's really odd to stand on the pretense that the UBI wouldn't (effectively anyway) be taxed.

Moreover (replying to myself here), compatibility was explicitly stated as a goal. Keeping existing software running got people to upgrade to the new OS (at a time where almost every major OS version had to be bought), and to not abandon the OS line for another incompatible one. Back when there was no "web" as a unifying platform.

So yes, of course that was based on business and likely no other reason. People after all will certainly argue that at lot of the cruft makes things worse, not better; it took a long time to get rid of most of MS-DOS for one thing, and I bet there's still mountains of other ancient remnants that get in the way.

But to say that MS has not put "a huge amount of work [into] compatibility" is just distorting history. For better or for worse, compatibility seemed to have been one of the core principles for quite some time.

Depends where you're coming from. Our (small, but international) company's accounting system is built on Google Sheets, with python scripts to import bank data.

We started with Xero, but it couldn't handle our international books. For instance the NZ IRD mandates particular exchange rates, and weird tax regimes (looking at you, Canada!) were way beyond it.

Sheets means a server can securely update data remotely, and we can instantly share data with our accountants. It's a five minute job to build a sheet that mimics tax reporting forms, and you can do financial what-ifs without having to dump data to Excel.

I'm sure Excel power users will hate Sheets, but Sheets power users will hate Excel just as much. Oh, and let's revisit this after your SSD dies just after you'd perfected the ultimate data analysis formula.
