Flip a Coin – A Coin that let you decide for your life
Hey everyone,
life is full of dilemmas that we can't decide which way to go, that's where a coin comes in really handy to do the hard work for you.
Me and my friends always flip a coin to decide what to do so I figured it's a good idea to turn it a web application that is always available.
Also when we don't like what the coin decides at the first flip, we flip more to see and if consider the side that happened more. For example 3 of 5 or 6 out of 10. I also added a counter for this purpose, so you can flip more if the coin is not what you want!

Please let me know if you have some features in mind that might make it better. Any PR's welcome too!
Here's the repo: https://github.com/thevahidal/armins-coin

Have fun flipping!
Unfortunately there are still very limited services for birth outside of hospitals in the US. Providers have a hard time getting regulatory approval and insurance, so they are selective in who they will take as homebirth or out-of-hospital birthing center clients. Basically, only people with very low risk profiles can make it through all the qualifiers for an attended out-of-hospital birth.

I am speaking from personal experience with births in one of the biggest US cities in the last five years. Anecdotally, I think that some less-dense areas have better CNMW practices and more access to midwives due to traditionally less access to hospitals, but it seems very variable.
These type of articles make me wanna quit doing anything in IT.

I really don't get why people in tech love swag so much. Is it because people's esteems are generally so low that they will become walking advertisments because it gives them a sense of pride to show that they work at whatever company?
So there was an actual editorial process before publication, not publication of everything submitted to it by default and subsequent ad-hoc removal of a few things that most offended its customers?

I'll take your word for it that none of your opinions or ideas were controversial enough to upset your publisher, but do you feel the editorial process would have been completely uninterested in removing opinions or other ideas before publication if your draft contained frequent asides praising the Third Reich or suggesting that the practice of software development would be greatly improved by only allowing men to participate in it?
Something to consider: Make it possible to create a nudge without signing up. I would even go as far as making the homepage the interface to setup a notification (with ample explanatory text). I think it's much more likely to catch on that way.

You can include a magic link in the notification so the user can manage it without an account.
I spent the last 15 years in London and I strongly disagree. Not only are foreigners judged (perhaps subconsciously) on how British they can be, where you came from initially matters a great deal as well, which is why I worked on loosing my Eastern European accent.

That being said, over those 15 years, I was only openly discriminated against once.
Last year we all got a £100 gift card that could be used at a number of retailers, plus a choice of two hampers - one containing alcohol, the other not (contained chocolate, popcorn etc. and yes some company branded items too).

Can't really complain, can see how gift cards go unappreciated though. Usually just top up my Amazon account balance and use it on everyday things or gifts for other people.

PostgreSQL Sessions in Vim

My partner and I both grew up in Yorkshire, and she has a strong Yorkshire accent.

She trained to be a doctor in Nottingham, where she was typically undermined by other doctors and patients due to her accent and the percieved professionalism that is lacking with that accent.

We now live in the North East, and she hasn't had a repeated experience from anyone local - just those with a more 'southernly' accent. The respect she's given is night and day in difference.

In conversation with her colleagues, I asked if the inverse was true for them. Did their southern accent cause a barrier with the patients in the North East? None of her colleagues could comprehend the question, let alone could provide a clear answer.
You can think of it as RHEL tracks CentOS and has it's point releases spun out of that. There is no reason to think CentOS stream will break more often than RHEL does, because, if that happens, it's Red Hat shooting its own foot.
So I had a buddy, he was a junior-ish very talented dev in this big retailer where I was working as well.

This retailer obv had massive campaigns for black friday, but also obv very shitty and inflexible systems.

This buddy of mine found that the black friday promotions pricings import failed 5 min before midnight. Meaning that not only would there be no black friday pricing, there would be no pricing at all on the site for 24h until the next pricing run.

He pulled some heroics and managed to fix the import in time and black friday was a success.

So he saved the company 5M GBP in profits, singlehandedly.

As a thanks he got a 25 GBP gift card to the same site.
I would suggest Pascal or a compiled BASIC dialect to learn those things.

The nice thing with these languages is that they are relatively small but still has these concepts, thus perfect for learning.
> Why focus on something that doesn't serve you if you can tune it out.

Because you don't necessarily know if it serves you.

You could wake up stiff because you overdid your workout. That's a pretty valuable signal telling you to take it easy with those particular muscle groups.

You could wake up stiff because you have an injury. (E.g. a torn meniscus). That's a great signal to go see a doctor.

You could wake up stiff because you have a shitty mattress. That's a good signal to buy a better mattress.

You could wake up stiff because you spent yet another 12 hours sitting in front of the computer - that makes a great signal to both stretch and put a few more breaks into your workday.

Or you might indeed be stiff if it's low-grade systemic inflammation (a.k.a "being old"), and even then it might be a signal that maybe you can fix your nutrition.

Yes, you can just power through most of these, but... why would you? It does serve you. Just in an indirect way, signalling you what is not going well. The key point here is that in many cases, you can reframe the story from "I'm old" to "something is suboptimal, and I can improve it", moving from a passive to an active participant.

No, of course that's not always possible. There are many reasons why we could feel bad and we don't have agency at all - but I'd always suggest at least getting to the root of "why do I feel this way" before ignoring it.
> for example "White trash" in the US compared to "Frat boys".

As someone who grew up in the U.S., those have a pretty large overlap to me
> I think the whole world should be on one timezone all the time. The numbers are artificial anyway we may as well all use the same ones at the same time.

Disagree – there is a certain value to knowing that 12 am universally means midnight and 12 pm roughly is solar noon, and so on.

Abolishing timezones loses that property, while still not absolving you from the need to convert the meaning of time between people living at differing geographical longitudes. (Basically what is said here: https://qntm.org/abolish)

Plus for day-to-day life (and I posit that for the large majority of people, most of their interactions will still happen within the same timezones), the current arrangement also has the useful property that the calendar day changes at a time when most people are asleep or otherwise don't really care about the exact day. Having the calendar day change during the middle of the solar day (which with a single timezone would happen for everybody not living near wherever the meridian ends up) would be rather confusing, e.g. when are holidays (and weekends!) supposed to start and end, how do you write down dates, etc. etc.
here is the thing. this has been discussed on fediverse before and the general consensus is, if a post is deleted by a mod or something, that is "gone". they record a log of "deletion" but not what because it should not exist.....

True, but it doesn't make much sense to use the fallible slice APIs when you know they will never fail (the only way they could fail would be if the code has a bug). It would just complicate not only the code within the function, but also the API to the function, which also becomes a fallible API (and this propagates outward, until it meets a caller which already was fallible for other reasons). And complicating the code unnecessarily increases the chance of logic bugs.
The way I broke out of addiction to the Kittens game is by using save game editors, which I warmly recommend.

Before that, I have spent days with it piggybacking on my brainwaves. But after that, I lost interest, feeling overwhelmed with the complexity of the game.
Maybe they don't need the ability to build a starship?

Maybe over their billion+ year existence they're content with waiting for the occasional asteroid to blow them into space to the moon or mars or some other asteroid or what-have-you?

Or maybe they're content with waiting for meatbags to get intelligent enough to build space ships for them? I know that we are full of bacteria, and wherever we go, there we are. So the bacteria would be there as well.

I just think bacteria have so many methods of getting to extreme environments, and surviving them, that I'm not sure starships are necessary to their continuance.
One thing that legal entities for large organizations are looking for is attestation. I worked for a SOAR company and we implemented a few play books for companies that both pulled data from URLscan as well as enriched it with other data and then presented to the legal department in a packaged format right to their inbox/Slack/other so they didn't have to go somewhere and download it. I'm not sure it's the feature set you're looking for but I feel as though attestation data is generic enough that it's useful in the SOC as well.

The use case for this was take down requests of lookalike / copycat domains. Some of these, we found, were being used (or attempted to be used) in more advanced phishing campaigns.
Try to update your Python environment and also install ALL recommend dependencies for Pandas (and for Geopandas if you use it). I had one old env in Anaconda (Python 3.9.12, Pandas 1.4.2) and then created a new one in Mambaforge (Python 3.10.6 with Pandas 1.5.0). It gives me speed up one of experiment project from ≈30 min to ≈5 min. Use Python code only for glue and leave extensive calculations for C/C++ code. Pandas and Geopandas have the recommended C/C++ dependencies which dramatically speed up calculations and in new versions as I guess they improve integrations with these dependencies.

PS I also recommend to every one to use Mambaforge instead of Anaconda, because it uses Mamba dependency solver written in C++ and it is in orders of magnitude faster.

So is xml. Json is relatively unstructured compared to other formats.

I think json has several advantages though. It’s a relatively lightweight and widely known serialization standard, rich enough for most cases and extensible in others, and it has easy to use parsers in all major programming languages.

Also jsonlines is a simple addition that make it easy for json to play well with non-json aware older Unix tools.

It has a few shortcomings but I think its advantages outweigh them, and it’s become a pretty widely used standard in a short time.
Yes and no.

A french person of any colour or location is instantly stylish and metropolitan. It doesn't matter if you come from the slums of Paris or Marseille, or some 4 house village in the middle, you, as a french person represent fashion, food, cutting remarks and wine.

Germany: (dont mention the war) represent punctuality, lack of humour, process engineering. Artists are not german.

Italian: hand waving, sun glasses, food.

USA: crassness with a lack of class (which is subtly different from being working class)

Japanese: The person you are speaking to is from a long an famous line of culturally important families.

Now, those are the fun ones. This is where it gets a bit dicey, so please don't think I share these opinions. these are illustrative generalisations

Eastern europeans: Imagine you are a family that has the same name as the villiage you live near. You own an estate, its been in the family for years, and you have labourers that have also been with the family for years. You hold them in high esteem, but they are very much working class. THats how they are viewed. "useful working class"

Anyone from the indian subcontinent(pakistan, india, bangladesh) or looks like they are from there (see Ugandan expulsion) with a non received pronunciation accent, will generally be treated as working class. Its not universal, but its a strong assumption. Think small shop owner, pharmacist, etc etc etc.

North african: Good question not sure

west african: Instantly assume they are from an estate in lAAANDEN.

East african: Also not sure.
Personally, the name always turned me off. I saw the option in photoshop when saving files, but my thinking went "jpg bad, jpg XL is a weird name, must be a minor incremental improvement over jpg".
Agree, something similar happened to me at my old employer.
My first work trip to the UK was my first trip to the UK period.

After clearing customs, I managed to get the rest of the way through the airport, through “the tube”, onto a train to the midlands, a taxi ride, and checked into my hotel with hardly any talking.

The front desk person dutifully told me that the restaurant was closed, but room service available (this is pre door dash, et. al.).

I got to my room and unpacked, with the TV playing in the background, as was my way back then and now. I did some stretching, and then decided to order some dinner.

I picked up the phone, dialed the room service number, and after I was greeted by a pleasant “Room Service?” I immediately felt my body wanting to reply with terribly Monty Python voice of American’s trying to sound British.

I couldn’t stop myself. I could just feel it wanting to happen.

So I hung up.

Confused, and somewhat alarmed because I had 3 days of corporate training to perform and that’s not going to go well if I have an accent trying to break out of me like a teenage boy’s voice breaking uncontrollably, I turned off the TV and tried practicing talking.

Even alone in my room, it took me a few minutes to try and get it under control. I grew up moving quite a bit between places with people from all over, so I don’t, myself, have a particularly stable accent. It was especially true when I was younger.

I finally worked myself up to remake that call to room service, and I managed to force myself speak with a right proper American accent…

Nhost CEO here.

Hasura GraphQL Engine is one of the open source tools we're using for the Nhost stack. But it's "only" one of the open source technologies we're using.

Others are:

- Postgres. Who doesn't love Postgres?

- Hasura Auth: https://github.com/nhost/hasura-auth

- Hasura Storage: http://github.com/nhost/hasura-storage

- Serverless Functions (Node.js)

On top of that we have SKDs in JS/TS/React/Next.js/Vue.

And a CLI for local development and a GitHub integration so you can deploy your backend just like you deploy your frontend with Netlify and Vercel.

Hope that clarifies a bit.
I don't have a much else to add: I open the github codesearch at https://cs.github.com/

and I type there something like `"someMethod(" lang:zig`, then I open several results in a new tab and quickly skim through that and close the ones which are not interesting, and that's pretty much it
Maybe I'm overly sensitive but I get mad whenever I see or hear the water bottle thing. I hate these water bottles and I sure as hell won't carry one with me. And in the office it's the worst. If everyone had the same one how would I not accidentally mix them up? Also who needs more than a low amount of water bottles.

You could imagine I'd be against drinking tap water, no - I've been doing that for years. But I am against lugging bespoke branded water bottles around and I can not get over the fact how people would assume they're even a decent gift.
This and the fact that they have your cc and shipping already on file, which makes things a lot easier. More than once I have found a product on some site and then purchased it from Amazon just because it is so much easier.

"Intentionally killing someone" isn't synonymous with "murder". E.g. intentionally killing someone in self-defence is not necessarily murder.
