I've got two things of that kind right now and they both worked for learning new things. Neither is properly functional, but here goes.

One is 'automation of repetitive conversations'. It is actually another iteration over the problem and can be seen on https://discu.space/. I don't think I can do better presentation in text than in the video on homepage. I just beg anyone interested to hit me via profile instead of registering yet, as everything might explode for now.

It got me cool experience with making web extension as well as horrible experience of trying to get it through google webstore.

Another one is using sounds to maintain focus in changing contexts. There are SO MANY white noise etc. generators (and they are good), but none has low latency feedback mechanism to say 'more intense'/'less intense' beyond 'lower/higher volume'. So you can't for example overload yourself to start doing something and then slightly lower noise when you get to a hard part of w/e you're doing. Enter lacking a proper readme https://github.com/Nowado/NoiseGenerator.

As much as tkinter is a pain to use, it's my first project done with so much copilot. I don't think there are 100 characters in a row in this project that I wrote by hand. Also that operating system doesn't like when unknown Python code demands full access to keyboard.

True, if self-denominated debt there is no risk of bankruptcy. There is only risk of hyperinflation. That being said, default and hyperinflation are two sides of the same coin.
From some comments here I'm inclined to (snarkily) add "It's culling under-performers when they're laying off your co-workers, it's a layoff spree when it's your job."
Two things, plus their combination:

1. Productivity system. I’m trying out different methods of todo lists. When I start a new method I think I’ve finally found the right one, but I end up not sticking with it and starting over with a new approach after a while. My current system is something I started yesterday after coalescing a few different ideas from the last week or so. I have a list of categories in a text file (on my phone) ordered by priority such that at any time I can start at the top of the list and think if there’s anything I should do in that category. If so, I work on that. The order is determined by what would be best to do in SUPPORT of things further down the list. That way you can stay on top of things without waiting until they are urgent, and it seems to align my actions with my overall goals better.

2. Hardware/software. I’ve noticed that software at every layer of the stack is written and changed/updated based on the desires of the creator of that software, not you. This might sound crazy, but if you really want to have control of your software you should write it yourself. Ever since I ran across Forth (jonesforth in particular) and realized you could create your entire software environment (drivers, OS, editor/compiler/debugger, application) from scratch because lets you start with nothing and quickly move up the layers of abstraction focusing only on what us needed for your particular application. (See also: http://collapseos.org/forth.html and https://github.com/nornagon/jonesforth/blob/master/jonesfort... )

The combination of 1+2 would be building a device with a hardware keyboard, simple display, and a microcontroller where I could have a todo list. (I could potentially just use an old PC with a BIOS as well to start with.) I could have it let me have reminders that I could snooze for a desired amount of time for instance, or have recur at specific times until dismissed (daily checklists). If I didn’t want the screen to go into sleep mode, or the OS to force me to update, reboot, or do anything at all that I didn’t want it to (like have unwanted notifications or ads or algorithmically driven distractions or security holes from the network/Internet), it wouldn’t. It would have zero dependencies.

Maybe for a while, but ultimately no - reality will assert itself even if you have stopped believing in it. Made-up valuations of faith-based assets are insubstantial, and anything that is entirely that is completely without substance.

There's no financial principle which says it is not a Ponzi scheme until you notice that it is.
a point for the local environment and activity side, though n=1…

after two years of covid, sedentary life, and existential stress, my t levels were hovering around 290-310, which is borderline “you need an injection or a patch or something” territory.

I got my ass off the couch and started lifting to max, and doubled those numbers in 4 months. my max weight also increased, but that’s beside the point here, since it’s not the absolute value of mass that matters.

Picking up things that are almost but not quite too heavy for your body is a powerful signal to lots of systems in your body, and hormonal regulation is absolutely one of them. It’s also good for bone density and a bunch of other things, so, win win.
To have a global negative population growth rate could only happen in the case of a severe epidemic, something like the Spanish Flu did a 100 years ago (~100s of million died then).

Uses the same folder-list paradigm as ClickUp, which, as a long time JIRA user recently converted to ClickUp, I find to be a plus. The simplicity and responsiveness of the interface appears to be an improvement over ClickUp. However, one thing I love about ClickUp is its ability to quickly configure task statuses (which in JIRA, is the equivalent of programming a VCR). So if this product could add flexible task statuses, and also task tags, it might be a low cost contender to ClickUp.

Edit: also, rather than folders > lists > sections, it might be worthwhile to introduce nested folders, which is a very popular feature request in ClickUp but that team never actually got around to adding it. Another thing: subtasks.

>Why can't we wait and let that be the first value that's actually meaningful instead of wasting time writing 0's?

Rust lets you do that.

let m: u32; // note: no mut
m = 5;

Even this is totally fine:

let m: u32; // note: no mut
if true {
m = 5
} else {
m = 2
}

>I know rust considers uninitialized memory unsafe but I don't get why

It is wildly unsafe, because the compiler has to be able to rely on the fact that memory slots it emits assembly code for actually use only those bits the compiler knows are in use.

For example, on ARM you have no registers < 32 bit. So the compiler has to use those registers for u8 as well, but it has to be sure that nobody actually sets the high bits, otherwise multiplication (etc) would do completely insane things and not at all what the program should have done.

Similarly, memory slots have a size that is a multiple of 8 bits (because the load/store instructions usually can load/store exactly 8, 16, 32 bits etc) and your type doesn't necessarily have exactly that number of possible inhabitants of the type (it would only be the case if number of possible inhabitants = 2^(8 n) where n is a natural number). Clearly, this is not possible to ensure in general.

Of course you have the compiler be totally defensive about it and issue masking instructions all the time--but that would make the resulting program slow.

Also, think of a bool. It has two possible values, right? But in C, any value that is not equal to 0 is defined to be true.

Now when the compiler emits code for a && b it can't do the obvious which would be

and r0, r1, r2

because that will do bitwise-and and let's say a = 4 and b = 1 then a bitand b = 0 but what you wanted is a && b == 1 since a is true and b is true. Worse if a = 5 and b = 1, it suddenly works.

So that would be a bad idea as well (you'd have to emit extra instructions to check whether a is 0 and so on).

>Why is it important to initialize memory to 0's before we use it?

It's not. It's just C being C.

I'd actually prefer C to have an alloc function with two arguments m and n where it does m * n with overflow checking and then allocates that and then does NOT initialize the memory to 0's.

That said, todays computers are very fast and 0 has no data dependencies. So I wonder how much overhead, if any, in wall time, it adds to always zero out.

Well, I found it straightforward, so you'd have to ask the many people who are saying they found it difficult. The most common issue I've noticed is "how do I pick a server". For that reason, I think 'big name' servers may be necessary for widespread adoption.

My washing machine stopped beeping when it was finished. I realised I could program an ESP32 with an accelerometer which detects when the washing machine was on, then wait a bit before waking up and sending a notification to my phone.

I wrote up my process here but since then I've made some improvements so that logic for the trigger for detecting when the machine is on actually happens on the accelerometer itself. I also rewrote the code for the ESP32 in micropython which has been a lot easier to manage than C.

https://www.instructables.com/Washing-Machine-Notification-S...

The whole process taught me a ton about programming micro-processors, the I2C protocol and even using a logic analyser to debug issues at the line logic level.
> You can debate whether the changes should be of concern to advertisers (to which my opinion is that they obviously are)

This is where we disagree. While our opinion of the company has undoubtedly changed (e.g. I wouldn't want to work there now given the type of pressure Musk puts on his employees) I don't think the internal working of a company is much of a concern for advertisers (except in the case of gross violations)- and I didn't see major changes happening yet in the product.

Advertisers' decision appears preemptive, they are clearly afraid of the possibility of being accused later of not having pulled out before anything happened. But accused by whom, and according to which principle?

You asked for it:

https://hyperscript.org

I hated angular when it first came out and couldn't believe what insanity people were willing to put up with, so long as it came from google. (e.g. GWT) I created https://intercoolerjs.org out of frustration with that, and the lack of progress in HTML/hypermedia in general, so I could build a web application I was working on (https://leaddyno.com, since sold).

When covid hit I took a look back at intercooler and decided that it was really two things: HTML++ and a scripting language, so I split it up into htmx, focused just on the hypermedia angle, and hyperscript, the scripting language I wanted for the web (derived from HyperTalk, and old scripting language from HyperCard on the mac).

I now use them both professionally (email me if you want to use them too.)
Last week I got told by an endocrinologist that the current suggested average testosterone levels are too low and that he recommended almost doubling the average to his healthy patients.

I see it once in a while comments out there on the internet(even here) flat out denying that companies have people employed that serve no purpose for the company. The reasoning goes like that economic incentive they would either never been hired in the first place or kept around when they are not useful anymore. Not realising that there is that most companies don't do weeding out pf personel continously. When ever there is a economic downturn they look what employees they really need... this is what is happening now.

Just a related topic. FMT seems to cure a lot of things.

I had a really really bad body odor. Doctors did not help much.

It seems that during one episode in life my gut biome became really bad (heavy deinking).

Years passed and nothing helped me recover from that. Various health issues also depression due to that.

Latest doctor asked me to try FMT.. I was sceptic but at that point thought to myself - hell why not.

And after few months stuff started to fix by itself.

We dont understand yet how much our health depends on a healthy gut biome..

As an aside, I tell people looking to go into software engineering that the best thing you could bring to an interview is a shipping app. The bar is such that most people ought to be able to push something out to the App Store or wherever.

Second best is a GitHub repo but often those I have seen simply included test apps resulting from a CS course or perhaps worse, code copied from somewhere else.

Regardless, app or code (or both) give the interviewer something else to talk about with the candidate about (and you would expect a good deal of enthusiasm from the candidate in this kind of discussion).
This is some sort of joke right?

you are comparing jellyfin's online demo and its requirement to "login" to show you how it works and how it supports multiple accounts vs plex's inability to use the app if you dont login to servers hosted by Plex?

Once i install jellyfin, the only "login" is to my own server, and this is because by default jellyfin supports multiple users unlike Plex which requires a membership to enable this feature.

nonsense.
Lisp is no harder to edit in notepad than any other language. It is just a text editor and lisp source is just text. And paredit is a misfeature for most people, turn it off. That should have been the real takeaway. It is not part of a ”correctly configured editor” and it isn’t installed or activated by default anyways so is easy to avoid.
I would wager that there are a multitude of factors involved in this.

First, humans are materially wealthier than ever before, and as such “the plague of paradise” becomes an issue. Without struggle, humans go soft. Look at the Mongolian conquerors as the most striking example of this. For all of us today, we don’t struggle in a physical manner to the same extent those before us did.

Second, all incentives in our daily lives push us toward peaceful, sedentary, and “soft” behavior. This reinforces the first.

Third, obesity is a problem. As noted in the OP, as obesity increases testosterone levels decrease. Given how much of the population is overweight, I’m not surprised by the lowering of testosterone.

Fourth, exercise. Many here have noted that earlier generations were far more active. Every doctor with whom I’ve ever spoken has stated that diet and exercise are required for health, and in my experience every part of my life improved by losing 50 lbs and getting moving every day.

Finally… levothyroxine is the second most commonly prescribed medicine in the USA. The thyroid is highly sensitive to radioactivity, heavy metals, PCAs, PBA, PFOAs, pesticides, and herbicides. These can all damage the thyroid or prevent the function of the thyroid and/or thyroid hormones. Thyroid mal/dysfunction has a vast array of effects on the body and can lead to a decrease in the function of many other parts of the body. While I don’t know if it will affect testosterone production, it wouldn’t surprise me at all. These pollutants can also cause autoimmune disorders which can damage the body (including the thyroid). If we already know that hormone production can be impaired by pollution, I don’t find it far fetched to think that this would include testosterone.

After my servers and projects have been raided by some fellow Russian cyberthreats and some idiots from 4/8 chan that were persuaded to "the cause", I've come to realize that the state of cyber security and automated cyber defense solutions is basically a charade and utterly useless.

All major players in the field oversell their own solutions, and nothing of them works. It's always forensics, and too late to actually defend your computers. Every platform and XDR/SOAR solution is made for manual human interactions, for the sake of overworked 24/7 analyst teams sifting through millions of log entries per day.

The signal/noise ratio is just too damn low to be effective.

That's why I decided it's time to disrupt the market with a self-maintaining and self-defending system. After what happened to me ~a year ago, I pivoted from my peer to peer Browser network idea to a peer to peer Cyber Defense+Intelligence system.

Turns out it's a big itch for a lot of customers, too.
That's a very uninformed take.
> “Personally I see the decrease of testosterone levels more as a reaction to our changing environment than reason for concern. The world changes and we change with it.“

I do not find this analysis and conclusion convincing. Basically don’t worry about it is the conclusion. We have rising infertility, both female and male (which people blame on hormone disrupters: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/reproductive-prob... ) and also in developed nations soon to be significant falling populations (already started in China, Japan and South Korea) and just less sex overall ( https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/people-have-been-... ). This likely plays into this in some way. These trends do not lead to a sustainable future - it is like global warming, slow but indicative of bad things coming down the line, but manageable in the immediate.

I am quite disappointed in the author to be so dismissive on a topic she is an “instant expert” on. Only on hacker news does a physicist who spends their days criticizing string theory (and whose expertise there makes sense) make the front page doing an analysis on testosterone.
