Drinking is a bit special in the addiction category. I've listened to my partner explain to me her struggles with drinking. I'll do my best to recount what she's said, with some paraphrasing.

Drinking is a cyclical activity, chemical wise. You get anxiety so to escape the anxiety you drink, the first few drinks you feel great - because the anxiety is gone! As you drink, though, the anxiety comes back so you drink more. The next day your anxiety is raging due to a hangover + your normal anxiety + whatever happened the night before. Shame and guilt set in, if you're trying to quit, and then rinse and repeat.

Alcohol is also a dangerously addictive substance for reasons most people don't realize. Withdrawals are lethal, which makes them special on their own, but alcohol is also available, advertised, and accepted everywhere. There's seductive ads on TV and in your grocery store; it's marketed as a lifestyle choice and a luxurious one at that. It's available in gas stations, grocery stores, and convenience stores. At any given party there is a high likelihood of alcohol presence.

I don't have any answers for you; my partner keeps herself busy with hobbies and work. She's got some totems around that remind her why she quit (or that she quit, in general). It's every day work.

My story with alcohol was far more simple. I was depressed and when my depression hit a high I would start to drink. There was no such thing as, "I'll have one beer" in my house. I hit rock bottom and I had one of two choices to make. The path I chose involved eating better, doing physical activity, and studying. My hobbies eventually ate over all the opportunities I had to go out with friends and booze casually. At some point it occurred to me that I hadn't drank in years; these days I can have as many beers as I want and stop when I want, but more generally I just don't drink. It's just not that fun to me anymore now that I know a life without alcohol.

I tell my story separately because I don't really fit the mold of an addict, yet I certainly destroyed a period of my life with alcohol.
Lack of the ability to create app specific window or menu-less tab is a huge negative for me right now.

Yes, except for research projects like MIT RAW there aren't even instructions for cores to send data to each other. Cores only read/write/sync to memory (which is really cache) so data has to flow from a core to cache then to another core.
The original statement was derisive without actually offering any useful criticism, and I called it out by taking it to its logical conclusion. If you want more thoughtful replies, it starts with your own comment.
I would imagine you could use ultra thin rope for heavy loads. I worked at a bungy jump place once and we had members of the Canadian military come to our bridge to test some very thin paracord. The rope they used did not look like it would be able to hold them but it did. But this silk is obviously way stronger then what they had I could only imagine how thin it would be and have the same strength
Glad to hear this. With the exception of a finger of scotch every few months I've given up on drinking. With the change of seasons I've been craving a beer. Looking forward to trying these.
No.

That was easy

For the record, Im about as far from being a central bank apologist as it is possible to be.
Both are direct expansions of the M1 money supply, which generally speaking will increase demand. Although sustainably stimulating the economy requires sustained investment on the supply side of the demand equation.
I saw people a decade older than me still drinking and partying, like ugly wrinkly teenagers. And decided it was time to grow up least I end up like that.
Why isn't there outrage from environmentalists? Because you are incentivized and encouraged to make "green" choices and speak out on unethical fossil fuel consumption. You are disincentived to speak out against the continued funding of arms to Ukraine. Advocate for a diplomatic end to the war and you will be denounced as puppet for Putin.

Which leads one to believe that many of these activists are not actually motivated to protect humanity from an environmental disaster, but because they want to improve their social standing.

100% also recommend the Sinclair Method. It weirds me out that it's not more widely known and is not being prescribed by doctors.

I had to stop taking naltrexone after ~6 months because it was giving me insomnia / I started noticing an irregular heartbeat during the night (don't think this was naltrexone related though). But the effects persisted for a long time. It was like a complete reset with respect to my response to alcohol.

Unfortunately after a year or two of drinking again without it, I was back to binge drinking again. Very similar pattern to OP.

In the end I made the decision that it's not worth the hassle - had my last few parties with family and friends over Xmas & new year and then quit altogether from Jan 1st this year. Difficult at first but non-alcoholic beers have been amazing to trick my brain into thinking I'm having a drink with everyone else when out and about and, honestly, recently I haven't been missing it at all.

Good luck OP!
This is greatly related to the lack of per-tab sandboxing in Firefox (https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.ht...) it's not only a security issue but a performance issue as well.
These enhancement proposals are often OpenJDK/hotspot specific. I do believe this left to vendors.
I may be mistaken, but I have found the Microsoft Edge to have done considerable catching up. In my Mac and on PC, it beats Chrome anyday in performance and ease of use. I understand that Microsoft have reasons to invest heavily on a modern, nimble browser. But do we have any other reasons - like trying to conquer a new market etc. Behind this?

I am here to remind everyone that the single most important oral hygiene measure is to brush your teeth after each meal. That includes not eating anything between meals.

Then comes using toothpaste.

Then comes visiting your dentist regularly.

Them comes everything else, that includes fluorine..

If you aren't brushing your teeth when needed, the rest is almost wasted.
Yeah.
I could go into VR to just be me. Or I could do that without the $$$ spent.

VR needs to extend the "reality" metaphor to do cool things. But to do so in a way that is intuitive is hard.
Do you feed your dogs kibble?

It is not a natural diet.

Horses likewise are typically eating a very unnatural diet, typically hay.

These are both perfect examples of a analogous diet to modern human diet. The difference being that they are animals and have no ability to correct for poor dietary "choices" with proper maintenance.

I agree, however, with your self assessment.

I starting dating someone who was sober. For the first two years, I never drank around her - only if we were traveling apart. Then I just decided to quit altogether so that she wasn’t cast as the party pooper. It’s been three years since then and the first two were really hard. But in the last year, my addictive attraction has transitioned in to revulsion. I now feel pity for people who drink. I never saw this coming. I drank an unhealthy amount but never considered quitting for “recovery” purposes. I just met this girl and it worked. I quit smoking in 2004 and it took me roughly the same 3 year period for that addiction to subside and turn around to revulsion.

This is very true and the suck of Java today, but fyi you can improve this exact scenario by using a special IntMap etc, which there are many libraries for (LibGDX has some, and Caffeine has off-heap maps).
It works the other way I believe. A post with more comments than upvoted is seen as a flame war thread and demoted on the rankings.
Someone already mentioned Chaco, but I'd like to point you at the Puebloans more widely: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puebloans
Interesting article, but after switching back to the tab the site popped up a fake system message ad (that I assume would try to install malware).
Still needs some more tweaking but if you try searching with ISBN now you should see a significant improvement in your results

And the pendulum will swing back. In a few years MS may go back to its old tricks. Nothing that company does has ever been consistent from one decade to the next. For anything expected to "just work" for more than a handful of years, MS is not a reliable partner.
Seconded!

I'd also add that NA beer also tricks my brain into not feeling awkward when I'm at a bar with friends who're all drinking.

Have also noticed that some NA beers make me feel elements of what I previously attributed to being hungover.
I'm sad at the terrible translation of the "Théorie du Bordel Ambiant" as "Theory of the brothel environment", which is quite meaningless. "Theory of the Ambient Mess" is more like it, though that misses on the purposeful use of a vulgarity ...
If you ask me:

- write the whole stack yourself so you can fix any problem or make any improvement without external dependencies or coordination
- the implementation is never written in stone and it is always possible to move to something better ( which is why you need to control the whole stack )
- no problem is too big to start solving
- implement something basic that works and then improve it ( see all of the above )
- evolve everything in the open
You sound like me. That Hazy Pale Ale at the end of the day is nice. I tend to limit myself to 1 though because I could easily go for more. There was an article posted to HN about "Blue Zones" - areas where it's common to live to 100. Most of those studied drank once a day.
You can search for ISBN numbers as well as titles now, hopefully that will help :)
I've been looking for a tool that lets you markup pdf documents with bounding boxes around text and lets you add metadata (like a section number, paragraph number, page number) you can use for downstream processing and extracting the text from particular areas to process. Kind of like a reverse LaTeX Document Structure

The closest I've come in the past is manually setting xy coordinates to do crops in pdftotext which was pretty time consuming.

I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult (famous last words) to use annotation objects with structure codes or some such but I'm surprised even after all these years that there isn't something that lets you do this more simply.
ISBN search is now live, let me know what you think :)
> Lastly, I've discovered that I have an issue with wheat and/or gluten

I have exactly this problem but only with wheat beer, not other wheat products. It makes me feel awful, kind of lightheaded and I crash 30 minutes later and feel exhausted.

I don't have a problem with wheat or gluten though. My partner runs a bakery and if I had a problem with gluten I'm pretty sure I'd know about it. I have also tried elimination diets in the past to deal with migraines and wheat/gluten never showed up as an issue.

I also don't get this effect from non-wheat beer. So my guess is that some other chemical is created from wheat during the brewing process and I'm sensitive to that.

You can already use EBT on Amazon (although only for non-perishable, warehouse shipped items). I'm skeptical of this "hub" it seems a bit prefatory to me. What's the point of layaway for online shopping?
I don’t think it’s a joke but I think it’s a perspective some people have when becoming a parent guides them to make better choices than they would have otherwise. My upbringing more closely (exactly) resembles what you warn. I’ll never have human children partly because of this experience, but I’m delighted that the experience of having a pup the past three years has brought out the instincts in me that I think a lot of people describe about human parenting in these discussions. I’m a kinder and more forgiving and more generous person because of the bond with my pup. I’m not just more open to joyful experiences, I’m more inclined to seek them out so I can enrich my pup’s life.

But you’re right, this isn’t a substitute for any improvement of any other serious issues in my life. It’s a positive relationship which helps me navigate those serious issues better, but it isn’t a solution. When my mental health is in bad shape, it can deteriorate the relationship the same way it does with my friends.

I agree but don’t want to emphatically agree with your point, because finding actual positive bonds whatever they are is part of how people stop reproducing negative cycles for themselves. It’s not enough, but it’s not always inherently selfish and negative either.
I was actually really impressed by these results. But yes, that skipping rope does look hilarious.
I’ve personally not tried it but the founder is the creator of pebble watch so that does give me a bit of confidence.
I dont get alcoholics, I never drink to get drunk, I only drink craft beer
Very interesting. Currently there are genetically modified silkworms that produce spider silk but it's not quite as good as the real thing. This method basically tries to "up" the silkwork silk to make it better. The metric they use is tensile strength. Curious to see applications.
Grant/deny just leads to people clicking accept, you want something where the user has to choose what kind of device the plugged in and if it doesn't match what the device says it is then you reject the device or something.

On Linux GNOME already has USBGuard support btw.
ISBN searches are now live, shipping cost is included in the price if you're in the US and will be reflected for other regions soon, book condition is included, currently the site only includes physical books but shortly I will add support for ebooks and audiobooks at which point I will include book types. Bundling book purchases will also be coming in the next few weeks.
have a bad hangover. titrate/wean down alcohol dosage over days or weeks. cannabis gummies, cans of flavored carbonated water, habanero salsa. psilocybin for clarity to step away from bad habits. perhaps revisit alcohol occasionally and stop at one or two drinks. be around people who care about you. do other things for fun. eat well.
thank you for this insight.
The government has an interest in educating its citizens. Just like how every other Western country subsidizes education.
Actually government does. It makes sense to nudge people towards acquiring more skills and they routinely do that. Also, the economy is punishing for those who don't have a college degree (it always was, but perhaps not at this level.)

And how did we reach here? Government policies. I am not saying that these policies were bad. But there can be no denying that government is the major reason why more and more people are going to college. And definitely, if college is not free or subsidised, they will be forced to take loans. Again, because economy is punishing for those who don't have a college education.

That's a total non sequitur. Have you read the Supreme Court decision in West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)? It wasn't based on opposition to climate change legislation. The actual issue was a lack of legislation. The EPA clearly exceeded their statutory authority. We need Congress to pass real climate change legislation and stop the administrative state from sneaking things in through the back door.

I still enjoy a tipple every so often, but I found going to the gym really helped me cut my alcohol consumption down to nearly zero. Knowing that my weightlifting will be impacted if I drink is a very strong deterrent.
I wish the Athletic stout were more available in my area. It’s amazing.

Streamer Breaks Back in Two Places After TwitchCon Foam Pit Accident
"I used CleanMyMac to clean my disk thoroughly, but there is not enough space. After analysis, it was found that the development tools and the compilation results left over from many projects took up a lot of disk space. At that time, I wrote a shell script to clean up, and as a result, 30GB of disk space was recovered, and the system was successfully upgraded."

This is weird. With CleanMyMac, I can easily scan subfolders and their sizes. If the size is, say > 3 GB, I immediately check it. Certain folders like homebrew or Android Studio cache are safe to be deleted.
I'dl like to know cases where CleanMyMac may fail.
Tom Clancy Speaks at the National Security Agency in 1986
Couple of things which worked for me:
- Start with realistic goals an go incremental, eg not drinking for a week, a month, 2 months, ... and in between it's ok to drink.
- Have something to replace it with, which is widely available. In my case that's soda water
- Share it with everyone that your not drinking for x days, week, ... to make social pressure keep you accountable
Thank you. I don't know how to save comments, hence the spammy comment so that I can come back to it later.
I'm not sure where you got the impression anyone was arguing for a different limited subset of VR interaction rather than a superset to allow it all to happen.

I think that we're going to discover that "scorched earth" techniques which indiscriminately decimate bacterial populations do more to perpetuate the problem than to fix it.

No no no no no. This is not true. Google Workspace is FedRAMP compliant for government customers. It is NOT possible to configure Google Workspace in a FedRAMP compliant way as a regular customer. You can't even get NIST 800-171 on Google Workspace without additional tools.

Not sure why people downvoted, but I am also missing Vagrant. I need to configure multiple VMs for various testing, and having Vagrant to spin up a lot of VMs, and run everything I need, that is something I would want to see with vagrant and virtualbox again.
I'm sure that nvim-lspconfig doesn't take care of installing binaries for LSP servers like this. You either set the path to the binary in your config, or you are using another neovom plugin to make sure LSP server binaries are installed

I have not drank for more than a 1000 days. This was the second attempt to completely stop drinking. For the first attempt, I didn't get past 100 days.

I have someone who holds me accountable. That individual started messaging me daily the count: 1 day without drinking, 2 days without drinking, 3 days ...
Once we hit 100 days, it became 110 days without drink, 120 days without drink ...

What has helped keep the discipline:

1. Non-alcoholic beer. I second the recommendations of SkyPuncher.
2. I avoid situations where alcohol is present.
3. Friends and colleagues who don't pressure me to just have 'one drink'.

I perform stand-up comedy at clubs and bars. There's a culture of getting a free drink if you are not the head-liner and it isn't an open-mic. One way I maintain the discipline is to treat stand-up comedy like work - I need to have a clear mind to do the job and alcohol diminishes my capacity to perform.

All the best in your journey!
I think a good beginning would be figuring out how to help balance the microbiome rather than destroying it routinely.
I want to like Firefox and ditch Chromium just because of this whole MV3 kerfuffle but it's not like Firefox is any better. Besides, Firefox has unilaterally killed off useful features like PWAs in the recent past. It's too flawed a product to be hyped up like this.
Vagrant allows you to configure a script that will create several VMs in the configuration you need. I, for example, use it to create a real Kubernetes cluster with 3 masters and several compute workers.
What is the most significant one line of code that you have seen or written? Ideally something that takes the understanding of the system to a higher level.

I have written a flow function for extending iterated functions from discrete time to fractional or continuous time, known as a flow. One line of Mathematica code that does all the heavy lifting. This provides a foundation for extending tetration and the Ackermann function to the complex numbers.

Flow[f_, t_, x_, L_, order_ : 3] := Module[{s},
H[0] = L;
H[1] = f'[L]^t ;
Do[H[max] = First[r[t] /. RSolve[{r[0] == 0, r[t] == Sum[Derivative[k][f][L] BellY[max, k,Table[H[j] /. t -> t - 1, {j, max}]], {k, 2, max}] + f'[L] r[t - 1]}, r[t], t]],{max, 2, order}];
s = Sum[1/k! H[k] (x - L)^k, {k, 0, order}]

I’m not in what is considered a “rural” area but it might as well be.

I do feel FOMO sometimes but I also think I idealize a lot of what I’m missing out on. I saw no real improvement moving closer or further to people. I think its all about reaching out and making connections. I imagine that’s easier in a tech hub… but online has made it incredibly easy, imo.

The one thing that does seem to suck is that events have gone “online” which… just isn’t exciting to me. Other than that, I’m pretty introverted and love having space/land.
