item = item

That is a no-op

a := b

Declares a new variable a and assigns it. It's sugar for:

var a = b

So read it as:

var item = item

Many languages have scopes and variable shadowing. You can argue this is bad practice or whatever, but it's only confusing if you think := is assignment which is covered in the first page of the Go language tutorial.
>Left to my own devices, I tend to settle into a pattern of 2-4 drinks per night, 5-6 nights a week (I actually tracked this for a while with a spreadsheet).

This is where I would settle as well, except some Saturdays when I'd have a bloody mary in the morning then just nurse gin and sodas from noon until 2am Sunday. Just enough to keep a little happy buzz going, I really don't like getting drunk at all.

My daughter started a practice of not buying alcohol for her home. I started doing that and it's actually working quite well. Still will get a beer or glass of wine with dinner when we're out but I don't burn down handles of rye or gin over the course of a week.
Can't speak for everyone, but after one beer I am done. It's funny the first 20 minutes, then a certain numbness covers my brain.
Bro, I feel you. I used to be in the same space.

For me it was about lifestyle changes, and displacing “fun” and cravings, with things that were more fun and more rewarding. And some hard reflection, and planning.

I think in my path to recovery there were a whole load of little steps and changes.

I found - and meticulously nurtured - passions outside of drinking. This led me to get healthier and fitter, and then I started to take pride in my health - I displaced chippies with vegetables, and guess what, my cravings naturally changed with time. The food tangent is related, I knew alcohol was high in calorific value, but the extent this played on me physically was noticeable. So, health suddenly became a hugely attainable goal for me.

I bought a smart watch and this tracked my heart rate. I saw a significant difference in my rate when drinking, and especially while sleeping with alcohol in my system.

I was partially drawn to alcohol due to stress relief, however seeing the impact this had on me mentally and physically I realised that my net anxiety was actually increased as a result.

Now, on to you. Forgive yourself when you do stuff up. Easier said than done. What you are doing is not easy, but please don’t be hard on yourself. You are self-aware, and you are trying.. that is amazing!

Maybe do schedule a few drinks sometimes. Maybe instead of 12 shit beers that are cheap, treat yourself to two expensive beers that are exquisite. Make this a positive experience, planned and controlled.

Try planning ahead. When do you crack in to 12 beers. Have a week plan. Book stuff in in advance. My approach became booking in to gym classes (because then I have to go - and guess what, after 6 weeks I wanted to go more than anything else… thank the dopamine and fitness level achievements)

Identify your triggers. You are looking at your transgressions after the train wreck of a binge sesh. But triggers that lead you to this moment arise before you even decide to buy a twelve pack of beer. Work out what these triggers are, why they are happening, and how you can improve.

Best of luck on your journey. Please post a couple of updates so we can all know how you are getting along :)
I think it priceless for children growing up at the moment to have a device that remembers all the memories people have on their devices around them, that helps them learn, the memory accumulates and there is improving A.I. to sort it all. And when A.I. and robotics is as easy to use all of that is available from a walking, talking personal assistant that has been with you since prek.

They can absolutely make credit conditions worse, through capital requirement and liquidity requirement. Also if you withdraw QE, it drains banks deposits and their ability to fund new loans.
It might sound terribly old-fashioned, but I think there is something to be said about "moderation". Why does it have to be either binge-drinking and having a hangover the next day or abstaining from alcohol completely? I drink on average about 3-4 bottles of beer and the occasional glass of wine over a week, and I was never "really" drunk (to the point of losing control or forgetting what happened) my whole life. Yes, maybe the alcohol has a negative effect even at relatively small doses, but so do other things that are far less enjoyable (e.g. the fumes from the cars passing by my office window).

EDIT: I realize that when you have a drinking problem where drinking one beer inevitably leads to drinking x more, it's probably easier to stop completely. I guess I was just reacting to the feeling of guilt - I'm not sure hating yourself for not being "strong" enough is helpful in this situation. Of course getting comfortable with what you are currently doing isn't good advice either...
Super lightweight wings for my hydrofoil!
Fair enough, I was comparing them to traditional car companies.
Regarding ropes, for most practical applications I can think fro the top of my head, tensile strength is not actually that much of a limiting factor (especially with dyneema), but more the abrasion resistance and how easy it is to handle a rope.

I mean, you could in theory rappel from something like 2mm dyneema line with very comfortable safety margin on tensile strength alone, but 1. keeping a say 60m long 2mm line untangled is a serious headache, and I would not be comfortable holding my weight on the 2mm rope while letting it scratch against a rock wall .
To be honest, I don't really find this too surprising. Reddit isn't a newspaper, they don't have teams of editors to fact check and verify sources, they don't have teams of lawyers to handle complex legal wranglings around whistleblowers. It's just a super weird place to go to be a whistle blower. They've got a sea of cat gifs, insurrection content and child porn to wade through, it's no surprise to me their default response to literally any request from government is "Yes".

I think people have it in their head that all social media companies are Facebook - hugely profitable behemoths that dominate the web. But in reality, Reddit is like Twitter, a good day is a day where they keep the lights on. Reddit started looking at an IPO in 2021, and filed a draft with the SEC in Dec '21, valuing them at around $15Bn. That was at the peak of the market, comparables have halved since then, which means their likely IPO value is lower than their last private funding round. And once they're public they really need to make some money.

So yeah, I think we need to be realistic what these companies are, they're weak. They have no business model, and yes, anyone big enough is going to bully them - whether that's governments or whether that's other large companies.
Seems like a good service. Will be interesting to see if the 48h turnaround time will be manageable with good quality and at an affordable rate. If yes - that'd be very interesting.
Second the Heineken, definitely recommend trying Guiness's NA stout, I think it's actually quite good.

My favorite kind of web forum engine is the one which keeps discussions threaded, but displays them in a flat list of messages ordered by time, but with quick navigation to parent and responses.
I've been through this. Took ages to turn it around. I still have activities that i used to drink with that i have that compulsion to have 'a couple' which in the past would inevitably turn into lots. Like playing pool, watching football, bbq's and such.
I used to wonder what the point of alcohol free booze was, but its really filling that gap for me. Where by habit (or long term addiction i guess) i want to be drinking whilst doing some activities, now i have alcohol free...have a couple and that ticks that box. Around others who are mega drinking is a bit of an issue, but i try and just escape those situations.
best of luck

VR is perfect for cockpit games. Racing and flying. It's freaking amazing. VR really makes sense in these kind of games.

Simracing really got a thousand times better with VR. Completely eliminates the need to have 3 flatscreens on your rig. Also the immersion when racing other cars in VR is just something else.

The best cockpit VR games are iRacing, Automobilista 2, DCS World and Elite Dangerous.

Using it for anything else makes no sense to me. Especially walking around in some world, I prefer to do it in 3rd person with a controller.
Ask HN: Is there common format to keep repo description in repository itself?
And other metadata like issue labels?

I know that I can define it in proprietary setting in GitHub and on GitLab, Codeberg and so on.

But I would really prefer to just run script that would setup them using API from common metadata.

As I get older I am less and less interested in fighting with changing settings.

Ideally I could change description of "needs a PR" label or tweak its colour and just run script to change it across all my standard repositories. Rather than doing it manually.

> When they go bankrupt economists like to use the term "Hyper Inflation".

That's not what hyperinflation means.

Hyperinflation is not the same thing as inflation, it's not just a monetary phenomenon. It happens when a population rejects a currency. It has historically always involved at least one of: losing a war, regime change or foreign-denominated debt - some kind of exogenous event. [1]

Hyperinflation is the collapse of an economic system in which one of the symptoms is dramatic decrease in purchasing power.

To me, grape juice is divine and wine is, at best, tolerable. Some of us are pretty sensitive to the taste of alcohol. Even in small quantities in mild drinks like wine.

Having an accountability partner helps, maybe your spouse or somebody that you drink with regularly.

Also reaffirm this by telling your friends and family your intention to stop drinking. It helps if they don't keep getting you to drink.

Lastly, what works for me is also realising that I don't need to drink to have a good time out. I can meet friends who drink at bars but they can drink while I sip my fruit juice.

I absolutely cannot fathom why this is better than a normal pressed tin license plate.

In our state, we just update our registration online, no need for stickers etc on the car or it printed on the plate. If a cop needs to check the rego, it comes up on their in-car TARDIS system. I can't see why having to increase the complexity of a license plate is better than that.

It's called violence. Might is right [1] means the world goes along
out of fear, not agreement. Violence need not appear physical, but is
always backed up by physical violence in the end. There's no irony
that so-called "intellectual property" is backed up by thugs with
guns. Whatever noble aims patents began with they are now nothing more
than a form of violent "political language" against the intellectual
classes, designed, as Orwell said, to make lies sound truthful and
murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind

Does someone know how to access all the Google results?
What's happening here?

I mean I'm not capable of searching through a billion results, but I at least want to be able to do it, how else will I find someone's blog without them having a youtube channel or other social media?

At one point when I include the "omitted results", the number of supposed results is less than before, I think it was 1.3 billion but with omitted added it's 1.1 billion, so that number is a pure lie?
I agree with this, my alcohol consumption has really tailed off after I started training for a marathon. It is impossible for me to actually train hungover and the required amount of training just so you can finish is 4-5x a week.

There's not much point being part of a resistance when the large majority of your countrymen are opposed to you and your values. Resisting foreign invaders is one thing, and makes sense: the invaders are generally a small fraction of the size of the populace, and are using some type of force to gain control. But resisting the majority of your country's population is something altogether different, and really quite futile.

Pakistanis who flee Pakistan because they don't want to live that way are doing the right thing; most people there like the way things are there, so trying to change their opinions is not likely to go well, and very likely to get you imprisoned or killed.
Be aware that this behave already qualifies to alcoholism according to health professionals. Even if the downsides are not as devastating as some of the stereotypical pictures we all know perhaps you should take into consideration taking an affirmative drastic action or even consult a physician.

My bet is no direct military intervention but a dramatic ramp up in weapon supply to Ukraine, including long range weapons. The other thing that will likely happen is the loss of support from India and China, which are already a lukewarm support. Another consequence I think will be the end of non proliferation. Everyone will want to have nukes if it is now used as an offensive weapon against non nuclear countries. That includes Taiwan.

Which is why I think it is incredibly unlikely. Lots of threats, but they won't do it. Even chemical weapons would be a stretch.
Seems decent, can you publish it on android? I don't have an iPhone or iPad.
I had this exact same feeling for years. There’s a ton of pressure to drink through society and marketing. Drink to celebrate. Drink when you’re commiserating. When you step back you realise that actually it isn’t needed. When you stop a couple of things happen. The first is that you have a bunch more time from not drinking itself but also not having to recover. The second thing is realising quite how dependent society is on alcohol. Can you imagine any event without it? So you go through a phase of adjusting to a society that is dependent. Like you I tried and failed to give up when that was my goal. What worked in the end was taking a break from it with no end and so removing the pressure of giving up. The break in itself is better than no break só celebrate that. If it lasts even better. It’s been more than 10 years since I drank and I can’t imagine going back. I don’t see any of the benefits. It just feels like something we’re indoctrinated into and when you look in from outside you realise how bizarre it is that so much of society is based around it. People are so indoctrinated that they get upset when you don’t drink with them, or think you’re strange because you don’t. Never trust a man that doesn’t drink is something you’ve probably heard. The alcohol industry has a very strong interest in you and everyone else drinking and coercing each other. That’s what all the adverts of happiness around alcohol are about. Reinforcement. Life is so much better without. Dancing when you’re sober is quite hard though.
Good advice, because that's what I did recently, for alcohol at least.

I'm not sure if it is a result of getting older, change in diet and it doesn't really matter. I like a good wine, beer, whiskey or rum, but in the last six months I started notice that I don't sleep very well after drinking. I can have one or two beer or one glass of wine, but not much more. After that it starts to interfer with my sleep, costing me hours of sleep. Given the choice I'd always put a good nights sleep before a cozy evening with wine. I could just have the one drink, but to me at least, it's simply easier to just not drink at all.

If you're in a settings where you're almost expected to have a drink, you can just use my reasoning, that you don't sleep well after drink alcohol, it's honestly something most people seem to understand.

Small note on the: "just hating yourself when you fail" that's not productive. Recognize that you failed, that it's okay to fail, and examine why. Then start over and try to learn from you mistake. E.g. maybe don't have alcohol in the house, replace it with something else, for me its tea and sparkling water. (Having a replacement beverage for the time when I'd just relax and normally have a drink have helped a lot)

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

Hating yourself doesn't help. I find quitting an addiction requires a good self image. Bad days are on the path to getting free. Remember you can pick yourself up when you fall over. It's all part of the process.

"For though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again."

You are doing it. You are on the path to getting free of this. You can do this. Keep going, don't get discouraged.

If you can get help I advise going after it. Someone in your corner will really help. You might not consider yourself an alcoholic, but an alcoholic support group has the tools to help.
Wow that's good. It's way better at chess than me.
At the end of the day, it comes down to whether browser vendors are willing to ship the feature even though it breaks said websites, and they do have visitor data to back those decisions. If the rule was "never break any website ever", you'd be able to block proposals you don't personally like by crafting a website that "gets broken" by that proposal.

At least in the array grouping proposal, they did evaluate amount and popularity of possibly breaking sites, before eventually renaming the method from .groupBy to .group

> There were an awful lot of headlines saying ‘Comics Have Grown Up’... the majority of comics titles were pretty much the same as they’d ever been. It wasn’t comics growing up. I think it was more comics meeting the emotional age of the audience coming the other way.

This resonates. I think during the Golden age, there was a much more optimistic sense of what those in power were doing for the little man. As scandals after scandals appeared in the following generation of politicians, that optimism was lost, and writers had to scramble to meet the attention of a more jaded audience.
