My friend figured out for herself, when she was in her 30's, that she's a poor methylator who can't turn the food fortification folic acid into a usable form of Vitamin B-9. She once told me that adding L-Methylfolate to her routine was like flipping a switch from "depressed" to "not-depressed". But the doctors had already decided she was being "stabilized" by the anti-psychotic prescriptions they forced on her, so they just added this vitamin to their cocktail of prescriptions.

Vitamin B-9 has to do with DNA synthesis... My source for physiology told me that even the mutants get enough Vitamin B-9 from an adequate diet, it's just poor methylators who rely on fortified food who are screwed. Deplin is the prescription form of Vitamin B-9. It's approved as an add-on therapy, for when patients don't respond well to the prescriptions that never work.

Usually 'mental health' diagnoses are manifestations of stress: emotional stress is the big one, but malnourishment is often a factor too. Stressed brains use more energy thinking about the stress all the time.

ECT should be retired from use. I heard once that brain damage causes the brain to increase production of the steroid allopregnanolone. The beneficial effect of the SSRI's seem to also be related to increased allopregnanolone, NOT to boosting serotonin levels.

I wonder if my friend's guardian [0] could consent to her getting electrocuted.

Edit: She remembers being depressed for as far back as her memories go. Someone on twitter says food fortification didn't really take off until the 1980's. Before then you had to explicitly buy "wonder bread" to get fortified flour, now you can basically assume white flour is fortified white flour.
A great way to deal with this is to use small sharp gravel, it bothers their paws. If you can imagine a layer about 2 inches thick of this gravel between the normal dirt and the compost, that's about what you want to aim for. We get voles as well, and this works great for all types of burrowers in a way that won't poison your pets and livestock.

Even without gamefication I am guilty of storing up commits on "productive" days because I am conscious I may not have the same output the next day.
On the contrary. This whole episode is a test to see if we're ruled by codified principles or by angry people. While I loathe that site, it's pretty clear that it's an example of legal speech between willing participants. The notion that we can somehow make the world a better place by preventing speech from being heard is a very dangerous (but sadly common) notion.
Product marketing leads to gratuitous differentiation.

Gratuitous differentiation leads to indifference or hate.

Apple almost died when it went down this Yodaean path. Windows laptops went down this path to the Dark Side.

Hopefully Apple will return to the light side.
> temporary impact on your credit score. Applying for multiple credit cards at once will reduce your score for a few months; if you will be applying for a mortgage, car loan, job, apartment, or other situation that requires a check of your credit, it is a good idea to stop all churning activity as far in advance as possible. Most conservative estimates recommend at least 2 years as "hard pulls" from credit card inquiries will fall off your credit report in 2 years.

> your homeowners insurance rate can be impacted by your churning activity, even though your credit score remains high. Your insurer regular does a soft pull on your credit, and they may increase your rate if there are a lot of new credit lines, even though your overall credit score and utilization may remain in good standing.

I think this is the key here: anything that’s crud with layers is the same job. Of course you can be productive within a year if what you are doing is literally the same job.

Sadly this is too common. But what about proper changes of job? Going from embedded to game dev to web to HFT to Ai? Do people not do this kind of switch at all when they say “I just work 1-2 year stints”? That sounds like a pretty dreadful career to swap one crud gig for another, never really knowing a domain deeply.
I believe methane itself doesn’t really have much of a smell. It’s things produced alongside the methane like ammonia and certain other nitrogen compounds, sulfur compounds, and carboxylic acids (particularly short chain fatty-acids like acetic acid and butyric acid).

In the US? I know many US people think their local culture is 'universal', and its corporations are trying to make it so, but have failed thus far. I've never heard a grown-up use 'poop' other than when talking to children. The UK equivalent of 'poop' would be 'poo', but even amongst the most curtain-twitchy suburbanites, I don't think its use between adults would be common.

Honest question, because I don’t remember: does Windows 98?

I know you could edit the theme around to set the UI scheme colours to a darker one, but as a kid I could never make it look nice
Every single highly individualistic society seems to be in population decline (more so if you factor out immigrants from “anti-progressive” Muslim or Catholic countries). Individualism seems to be a self-limiting feature of society: it’s unpleasant to raise children in highly individualistic societies, which makes such societies inherently transitory.[1]

Is societal self-obsolescence how you define “progress?” How successful can your society really be if your people don’t seem to want to raise kids in it and perpetuate it? If you have to import people from collectivist societies just to take care of your elderly?

[1] The inverse is not true—many collectivist societies are also facing population walls—but for quite different reasons.

I think the Apple Mx generation of Macs first of all fixed a series of issues Apple previously inflicted on the Mac (bad keyboards, insufficient cooling, touchbar, etc.) and did indeed raise the bar FOR MACs. Apple Mx means more power, more battery life, more passive cooling and more compatibility with iOS apps for Macs.

However, Apple Silicon is not likely to influence the rest of the industry, for now, because Qualcomm is shit and doesn't care and everyone else who wants an Arm CPU for a notebook is stuck with Qualcomm. Therefore x86-64 will dominate unchallenged.

Proper nice looking design on a Windows compatible device (since the MacBook brand and MacOS X Tiger with BootCamp) was a much more industry wide influential aspect, especially since the transition to uni-body construction. Previously, iBooks and PowerBooks were nice looking too, but they were rarely cross-shopped. Today, all brands have aluminium notebooks.

Switching to High Density displays by default was an industry wide influential move.

Non-removable batteries were maybe the most influential move. And I kinda hate them for it. Arguably, there are ways to make the battery replaceable even in today's thin devices. But Apple proved to the market that consumers do not care about removable batteries in any kind of device so now phones tablets and laptops have non-removable batteries, often times glued.

Soldering CPU, RAM and WiFi, was also influential, in a bad way, though they are arguably necessary tradeoffs. Thankfully no one copied their proprietary flash storage non-SSD, yet.

Even the TouchBar was copied by Lenovo and Dell, without even learning why it was hated and why it was loved. It was hated because it replaced the Fn-key row even though it was a genuinely awesome HID.

Hopefully no one copies the notched screen, because while on macOS it is not an issue because of the global menu bar, on any other OS it would be major annoyance.

P.S.: I actually still have a P4 era Toshiba Satellite and it still works even if the hinge is a bit weak. It survived admirably better then some other notebooks I have.
She's American. I was asking if this is an oddity of US culture. To my (non-US) ears it just sounds childish, like saying 'yummie' or calling your parents 'mummy/daddy'.
It might be fast enough though. You haven't specified your corpus size. If your corpus is small enough, ripgrep might be instant enough. Another alternative is to look at fzf paired with ripgrep, but I imagine for large enough corpus sizes, it won't be instant.

Otherwise, if you're searching something large and really absolutely need "real time as I type" as a hard requirement, then you'll not really be looking for a grep per se, but for a tool that builds an inverted index and uses that for searches. So things like Russ Cox's 'codesearch', 'qgrep', 'livegrep' and Sourcegraph.

Yikes, yeah I forget some people have that type of workplace that isn't necessarily result driven. If that is the case and does get someone escorted at least there's a chance they'll end up somewhere more engaging.
The first sentence is about the writer; the second about the reader.

If writers aren't learning new words, then readers can't learn from them. When do writers learn new words? From reading! Who writes what the writer reads? Writers.

King seems to be saying "the best way to discover new words is through the labor and chance of picking up the right books and finding some words you had not read before". So all words that can ever be useful have already been written or will be invented by fiction writers, and it is up to you to read a variety of styles and types of fiction rather than the compendium on your shelf. I find this notion silly.

The answer of course is a blend. If someone is leaning on a thesaurus to make bad writing good, there will be a problem, too.
FWIW... None of those are marketing investments into evergreen communities that will keep growing the app. Build channels, not one-offs.

Exceptions exist, like social networks where you can do stunts until it grows itself, or ads when you have the rest figured out or lots of VC $... but good to only do if you have to.
Jacob is smart and has been around the block a couple times, but I find this whole post kind of frustrating. Essentially what he's talking about is reading tea leaves out of peoples' resumes. I think that's a comprehensively flawed way of qualifying candidates.

It's reasonable to be concerned about behavioral patterns in candidates. Some otherwise-qualified people will be behaviorally incompatible with the roles you have. Maybe they're hard to work with, or need too much or too little structure. To the extent you're concerned about stuff like this, you should probably just check references.

Other than that, what are we talking about here? Hiring managers spend too much time looking at resumes already. It's possible to hire without looking at them at all; the last several companies I've worked for have done just that: just ask people to demonstrate that they can do the work the role requires, build a rubric to assess their performance, and hire the people that clear the bar.

It wouldn't even occur to those teams (or my current team, I guess) to look for patterns and indicators like this, because they're just not making any decisions off of resumes to begin with. I've been in this business since 1995, and studiously avoiding resumes since around 2010. I have made more bad hiring decisions by carefully assessing resumes than I ever have by just asking people to demonstrate the work, and then taking the time to build a serious evaluation checklist for the work.

If you're worried that people are habitually bad communicators, are disorganized, can't manage scope and are adrift without structure, can't stop talking and just deliver some practical unit of work, won't ask questions or collaborate: you can assess for all of these things!

If you're worried that people are ladder-climbers, or aren't here to do the work, you can set expectations.

And if you're worried that candidates aren't going to be loyal and are going to jump ship when presented with a funner job with higher comp at a more promising company, well, that's life in the Professional Golfer's Association, I guess.
Can you quantify this sharp rise? I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic.
Wow, great suggestion. I will check it.
$100 is barely worth anything in 2106.
… what do you call it in casual adult conversation?
So what are the upsides
IANAL, but I think not.

I think this because there have been a plethora of tools and libraries over the decades (think Tk, WxWidgets, and similar) that emulate the native look-and-feel of the OS and I believe a company has to defend it's IP/copyrights otherwise it implicitly loses the ability to do so in the future.

See: https://www.varnumlaw.com/insights/enforce-your-intellectual...

Consequently, this is why companies will so often be quick to "attack" random side projects people do targeting their IP (even very old IP). It isn't necessarily out of a malicious desire so much as a legal requirement. If they don't then a "serious" company can follow suit and then they have no ability to fight it.

Edit: to be clear, obviously they _can_ sue.
It's a little better, but definitely something I'd expect more from a backend developer than a frontend developer.

Simpler is better, but you still need to do well on the things you keep.

The whitespace on the navbar isn't great, the logo looked stacked on and doesn't fit well, don't use gradient backgrounds on content, the note color doesn't match with the background, the bottom section is too vertically long, you could simplify, or move it to use horizontal space instead, and the black bar for "Previous" looks out of place.

What I like:
- Title is strong and centered
- Date is very easy to find (especially for technical blog posts, they can tell you if it's outdated or not)
- Good choice of fonts
This is not what we should do and of we can avoid it we should, but I agree that this is pragmatically what typically happens, my understanding is that it was what happened as part of Mayor Bloomburg's "clean up" of new york. It didn't solve of get rid of the problems, it just pushed them out if certain areas like Manhatten anf Brooklyn elsewhere to the outer boroughs and Jersey.
I'm reminded of the end of Wings of Honneamise, in which the main character, the first human of his world to travel to space, is so overwhelmed that he stops and prays to God (about whom all he knows he learned from a street preacher girl) for forgiveness for all that he, and humanity in general, had done.
I don't understand how it is possible to lie to myself. It requires you to suspend disbelief and say to yourself that something did or didn't happen, that's something I cannot fathom.
Turns Out Sometimes the Government Can Get Things Right
My point is that it isn’t really reassuring for the user because of invisible negotiations. If anything, I would lean more towards guessing that users are, more often than not, either ignorant or untrusting of URL contents, either because the URLs so frequently look like nonsense (arbitrary content IDs instead of meaningful names) or because they have already proven to be unreliable elsewhere on the web (deep links not as deep as expected when copied or shared).

It's sorta like this with many vc-backed companies. Operate at a loss to get market share in the hope that some customers can be billed later or raise prices.
If someone told me they're striving to achieve 100 days in a row of lying for profit, my first thoughts would be "egocentrism" and "dishonesty". But it's actually just called marketing apparently and it's a job.
TL;DR:

“Here’s the big “why not” when it comes to office-to-housing conversions: Gutting a building and rebuilding the inside as housing is expensive, especially in San Francisco and especially while construction costs are high.

Asking rents for downtown commercial leases have dropped around 15% from pre-pandemic peaks, but haven’t dipped further because of the relatively long lease terms signed by commercial tenants, as well as market optimism that the return to office will continue at a gradual pace.

Essentially, the city and the market aren’t convinced that empty offices downtown are here to stay.

“People would need to believe that office uses are going away,” said Louis Cornejo, president and CEO of Urban Group Real Estate. “You talk to 10 people you get 10 different comments. Are we really going to take a chance on our economy based on: ‘Well, it worked for a year or two?’”
Interesting. Thanks for the info. Ownership of data can be tricky, if you consider things like Google cache and the Internet Archive, then anything you make public on the internet isn't really yours.
A lunch at Chipotle in SF costs $15, a beer cam be $20 with tip, that's about 10-20x the real cost anywhere else. So this tracks, lol.
If I run into an asshole once that’s normal. If I run into assholes all day, I’m the asshole.

It’s perfectly normal to have a few positions with short stints and as long as there’s a decent story it shouldn’t be a big deal. But if there’s a long string of 3-6 month positions and there’s not something clear (specialized consultant) then that’s a warning sign.
I wonder how much of this can be explained by social media? Feels like a feeling of impending doom with climate change could also be a factor.

Also, I'd really like to see this trend in a broader context. How much did these kinds of indicators dip during, say, the great depression?

Why? I've done that and it has been amazing for me. I don't want other people telling me what's good or not. Absolute statements like this is just social malaise and not based in objectivity in the slightest.

The current social bandwagon can be summarized as: “Work is bad. Hard work is toxic. Perseverance is not healthy”.

HN is just reflecting r/antiwork ethics.

Complete and utter social non-sense. People have just stopped thinking for themselves.
Hmm I hadn't considered microwaves, that sounds like it would actually be super doable.
I did notice that ripgrep was noticeably faster than grep, however, I'm looking for a solution that searches through the source code as I type. Something like Fsearch but for searching through source code contents.

I think for something like this even grep would be fast enough.
I scraped through the 10,000 LPs from the Boston Public Library and used them to make this free streaming service: https://www.locserendipity.com/LP.html

I also carefully went through more than 600 long play sonatas and selected 62 that could create a replacement for Pandora, which I had formerly used as music for sleep. The only problem was that sometimes Pandora would throw in a track that was definitely not consistent with sleep. The result is this player: https://www.locserendipity.com/Songs/Sonatas.html

I look forward to adding to this with more music options! The current count exceeds 25,000 tracks.
Please cite some sources for this. I highly doubt it treats all, like whip worm.
You're right about attitude. Internally, the Google SRE attitude is to never say no. Instead, what's drilled into you is "Yes, but have you considered...". Still, that only works when the sre org has the support of management, or that there even is an sre org to be supported. Anyone smaller and organized different doesn't have such luxury.

I think users are (rightfully) distrustful of URLs in the general case, but a URL having a file extension is actually a pretty good indication that it's a simple "does what it says on the tin". (Imgur changing their .jpg URLs to have more complex behaviour caused a pretty big backlash, for example)
This is HN, rather than Reddit, so the replies are basically all serious from what I can see. One of the “dangers” of memeing on here I think

Once the city collapses again housing and real estate will be cheaper. It won’t be very enjoyable though.
In a typical company, raises are budgeted based on a company-wide assessment of how much people "should" get. So even if your manager is sure you're worth 20% more, you simply can't get a 20% raise without some exceptional justification.
There was no dark mode fad in 1998. Different color schemes for visually impaired people existed, but they were most often not very aesthetic.
I think you're wrong. Because otherwise articles like these would be either unlikely to exist, or we have much more spacers than it is known.

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure how it works but on my Github feed I think I get updates from products I star. This is my first open source project and I saw some other popular projects doing it. I'm basically using it to measure interest in the idea/project so that I can decide to pursue working on it publicly or just keep it for myself.
I agree with the sentiment that the more FP-heavy parts of the Scala ecosystem are not suited to hello-world code _at all_. In this particular case, http4s is at its core a low-level library. The author was right to go for Play first.

But it turns out there's an alrernative. Tapir is emerging as that "pure FP, but approachable" HTTP framework. It allows developers to work at a higher level, turning the HTTP backend into an implementation detail. Simply define the application using Tapir, then choose the better backend for the use case.
Saying things doesn't inflict a harm of the same nature as the experiments. The line-drawing is not so impossible or purely subjective that it cannot or should not be undertaken.
Same with the SMC (or an embedded controller by any other name) on laptops.
"I would agree with the parent post that hard lines governing others can be quite dangerous."

This could be logically extended to support the notion we shouldn't have laws or something.
Designing Sound, by Andy Farnell
Counterpoint: The Apple News app. Even of you're a paying($10!) subscriber, the app is full of absolutely awful advertisement.

The current culture of Apple produced this app; it wouldn't surprise me if other properties of Apple start to embed ads.
And the therapeutic dose in this case seems to be roughly 1/2-1/3 of what people do recreationally.
Yikes! That would terrify me. Do the sharks seem bothered by it?

Hey this is really cool - one suggestion - I had a lot of trouble watching the example video I think due to the microphone you've used. I had to close it because i couldn't stand the sound of the saliva in your mouth haha. So perhaps edit the audio, i'm sure there's a way to filter out those sounds.
Simply: most everything got overrun with ads. Also, IP law is stifling innovation.
