Thank you for the comment. It's good to hear from someone who has been able to cope without the use of medication. The most advice I've been able to find online is really buy XYZ drug OR buy ABC app. I've been trying to stay away from these sort of things.
Who cares, really?

There are people who believe in god, too.

They're more stable than you think. I've ridden an eboard for around 1500km this year, and although I've taken some hard crashes (always wear protection, I lost the skin on my hands once and never again) they have been down to me overestimating my grip or underestimating the obstacle. Every time I've hit a rock I've just gone over it.

A lot of it is also the different, more forward leaning, stance you assume on an eboard.
Most companies have a swag budget anyway, getting to pick which items you like is an improvement.
A human is social, how we see ourselves is not really separable from how others see us. Read about the psychological concept of labeling: we tend to become who others think we are.

It's not about becoming mad at people around you thinking you're gay, but if you can actually fully ignore community's attitude towards you and not let it subtly change your behavior or weigh on you I'd say it's not typical.
Well for one thing, my OnePlus 7T that was released 3 years ago has not received any updates beyond Android 11. It's honestly a wonderful phone, and hardware wise _more_ powerful than the new Pixel 7. But getting only 3 years of updates is standard in Android..

It has little to do with consumers and more to do with forced obsolescence.
California appears to building the solar equivalent of a 1GW nuke per year with no end in sight. Total electricity currently from solar is 26%. Likely to increase to 40% in five years. Lest one think that's just California being hippy dippy, Texas is on a similar trajectory.
The Superapp developers can fill in the vacuum left behind from the NetEase licensing exit. Indigenous IP should be more interesting than the Diablo franchise. There is so much more depth in the faerytale culture to draw on. And, it will create quality jobs for the arty creationist locals.
If you're coming from the WPF and winforms world IMHO you actually should find and use a framework. Find something that has a bunch of pre built components like cards, dialogs, buttons, etc. already styled and ready to go. You could go for something complex like react and a component library in its world, or go with something that is (mostly) CSS like bootstrap or bulma.

I say this because where you're coming from you're used to plopping down a dialog and throwing components like forms and buttons and such on it. With plain HTML and CSS it is much, much more free form and you can easily be paralyzed by choice or indecision with how to design or even just how to layout components. With a framework like bootstrap you're given layout primitives like a grid and higher level components like a navigation bar, menus, etc. which are much closer to what you're used to from C# and windows.
I’ve also made use of cheap web templates based on bootstrap. For example, Inspinia and Color Admin.

You can go quite far with these, and you don’t even have to strip out all the unused dependencies if you don’t want to.

The included minified bundles will deliver a ton of different swiftly common UI behavior, with super light config, (sometimes just the right html).

As parent said, you can easily add your own custom JS for any given page.

If you want to go deeper into modern JS, such as organizing your code into modules or making use of your own chosen node modules—-forgo toolchains and just use esbuild. It’s great.
Ask HN: Where to buy (DRM-free) ePub books?
So I just purchased my non-kindle e-reader. I would like to buy books for it. Like the shelf books, but to my e-reader.

Do such websites to legally acquire e-pub books even exist? I wasn't able to find one. Happy to pay for those as much as for physical copies.

I am interested in history and politics; my first target is 0199797455, assuming I can find where to buy it.
"Running is better then walking for short distances when optimizing for shorter time"

Yeah, but then the context is optimizing for shorter time. You said context does not matter. But it always does. And depending on the greater context, there would be plenty of examples where running is not adequate, even when optimizing for short time, because maybe you don't want to raise attention, you don't want to be sweaty when you reach the goal, or then your knee would hurt again, etc.

Is this pedantic, well yes, but if you make absolutistic statements then this is what you get.

But again, no one here ever said, it is all the same. It was said that it is always about context, to which I agree.

When you only have a low quality tool avaiable, or your people only trained in that low quality tool(and no time to retrain), than this is still the right tool for the job.
Yes, I think this is an issue of language/context. Perhaps the developer doesn't appreciate the full scale of the meaning of the phrase "objectionable content". Google for some reason thinks this app may be a legal liability, and they won't tell exactly why because it would make their position worse if they admitted they knew something.

Want to make browser-only webapps without node.js, bundling, building, transpiling and all that stuff?

This experimental view library might interest you:
https://github.com/jehna/longwood

It's usable with plain in-browser Javascript, no other tools needed. You can split your frontend to components and do conditional rendering logic just as with any templating library.
You just have to empty the tarp often enough.

I guess it depends on where you live, but here in Finland it certainly snows often enough in the winter that you don't have to think about it, you just keep it in place all winter.
I think I hear you. I studied intercultural communication in college and think I got so good at adapting to culture and have been asking myself more lately about how much would I like to change culture.

That's one thing I really appreciate about the article, almost saying let's try to (re)create culture to encourage friendship and affection and depth.
I recommend using Micronaut + Thymeleaf, its simple, easy and fast in both performance and developer productivity. Vanilla HTML, CSS and Javascript is fine. The best part by using Micronaut is that the documentation is really really good.

I do also think a single PHP file is maybe the easiest option.
I own an iPhone 13. It’s now one year old. The way it performs is virtually indistinguishable than when I just bought it.

My previous phone lasted me four years before sadly falling in water and was still doing fine with only a battery change.

I don’t know what you do with your phone but they can survive a long time nowadays.
This makes me think that they have some internal rating mechanism (perhaps based on reviews or previous reports or who knows what) which flags some apps for extra "review".
You said app, which means you'll likely need some sort of backend. Express is pretty simple to get started with. These examples work out of the box and give you a simple starting point: https://expressjs.com/en/guide/routing.html

Then you can layer on HTML, frontend JS, and CSS. With modern typescript you can definitely write pure JS and be "fine".

That said, after a while once you grok how it all works, I would try React.

> Do I really need Node?

As an alternative, you could look at using a vercel template with some sort of out-of-the-box cloud database. These are super simple to get started, although they go against your goal of not using frameworks for the most part. https://vercel.com/templates

The platitude "assume positive intent" helps a little bit. Especially at work, there's not a big downside to assuming your coworkers generally have positive intent. For me that saying has been helpful -- although very difficult to keep in my head when stressed.
In Scandinavia the sun is a rare and brief sighting during the winter. The appearance of the sun during winter is a national event and for a very few brief minutes there is hope that the darkness will one day end.

Even thinking about the possibility that one day the sun might be seen makes me emotional.
There is something to be said about the repeated displays of incompetence though. My own experiences working with WITCH employees have mirrored those of the other comments and that of the article. It is not wrong to criticize the methods that they pursue, nor the fact that they do not wish to learn from their mistakes.

Most companies the size of WITCH do not utilize access keys nor add them to source control. While a developer may make a mistake, you would expect there would be guardrails around the development process, either by way of an automated scanner or a more experienced software engineer catching it as part of a code review. The fact that none of this happened is quite concerning, IMO.

You could also perhaps say this is a management problem than an employee problem; and while that is true, such distinctions are rarely made. As an example, I'm sure you've had bad experiences with customer support which you simply summarized as "The support rep at Corp X sucks" when talking to other people; whereas the truth might be somewhere closer to "The support rep was out of luck because they didn't have a process to do A, B and C because management didn't think of it."
>> What separates them is the opportunity

Exactly. In the current system, a candidate requires substantial funding in order to run. Who has that kind of money to spend on politics? Big corporations! What sort of people would these corporations want in government?

The most valuable trait in a politician from the perspective of a big corporate donor is corruptibility (their eagerness to cater to the needs of big financial interests). They are literally put forward on that basis. If the selection process was random, then political candidates would only be as corrupt as the average person; which would not be too bad.
We need “work/life” balance because, at some point, we started separating work from life. It didn’t use to be that way. And we should begin to change it again.

Building companies with friends is the best way I have found to bring these two sides of life together.

And what about those people who say don’t start a company with friends or family? F* them! Sure, friendships might suffer. But hey, so what. That’s life.

And at least you’re surrounded by friends who love you, and you love them. Instead of random assholes who just wanna progress their career.

Also, he was clearly asking about policy related problems in the live chat, that's why that person couldn't answer.
Your comment about foresight… enlightening. I’m often in a position where I’ve mapped out a problem far ahead of my peers, sometimes I have to let them toil with the problem for a while before I break the bad news. Quick wit has never been my strong suit, though.

Many weeds store most of their energy/nutrients in deep roots. You cut down the visible part and shortly after that it regrows like it's nothing.

The city gardening service in my neighbourhood is waging constant war on what appears to be a forest of bushes now, which they unwittingly sow and expand through cutting plants with ripe fruit.

Not only do the parent plants regrow, a new generation is formed each time they do it.

My relative is an agricultural engineer and her recommendation is a drop of Roundup on top of every unwanted specimen.
Plus at -40C, how do you keep up? You are battling everything being cold, including the ground under you.

People in this thread are saying "just heat always..." wha?! Heating an insulated home is crazy expensive at -40C, and you want to heat a driveway from -40C to 10C, and melt all the snow?!

(Heating to 0C is not sufficient to melt and let stuff run off, it will freeze again too fast.)

And beyond that, now the end of your driveway is solid ice. Or it will be, as the drain freezes.

A gas snow blower is better for the environment, 100x better, than that.
Cite please?
> Seems like it should hoe each weed instead of spraying it.

Huh, I actually thought it was using a laser and the 95% chemicals meant through the entire farming process. In that case it's probably much less than 95% chemical use overall, there's still pesticides and fertilizer to consider, not to mention chemicals used in cleaning and packaging.

I wonder what kind of power you'd need to laser weeds at that speed? Now that I think about it, probably like, a lot. And maybe it'd heat up the surrounding plants too much.

Spraying with that much accuracy is still pretty cool though.
Cruise is a robotaxi service and a subsidiary of General Motors.

The service is only available to employees 24 hours a day. Eventually, these expanded operating hours will be available to the public. Nighttime service is available to the public since the beginning of 2022.
98% of its valuation, I guess. Also prices were crazy during early pandemic times..
I think it’s a decrease of receptors or an increase of re-uptake. But yes, there have been results pointing in that direction, but as far as I’m aware this is not as clear as that. Who does it affect? Is it seen with abusers or with users of (generally much lower dosed) meds? How much? How does this compare to the dopamine deficiency we see without treatment? Etc. But if you have a good and recent source, I’d love to read it.
Your comment really, really moved me. And I identify so hard with the press enter anecdote.

Thank you.
If you're a company that is unable to find profitable things for 10k of your employees to do, then you should probably be firing people higher up.

> Use some sort of instruction tuning to get the thing "good enough" that it gives decent results 75% of the time and the other 25% a human has to take over.

How does the model know when a human has to take over?

I think most extrapolations of current "AI" capabilities into future capabilities are fun and useful in some ways, but also doomed to fail. It's very easy to miss a tiny detail which may in practice be a fundamental problem.

> Use the actual usage data as training input.

Given that those bigger state-of-the-art models train on terabytes of data, how would you know how much training data to generate to sufficiently change the output?

My understanding of "AI" is that it's mostly about some very complex models which are capable of solving previously unsolvable problems. However, those problems are always extremely specific. Going the other way of thinking of problems or future possibilities first and then applying "AI" to it is likely to fail.
It's definitely an overkill in terms of recreating a social network, but maybe they'll get there eventually. The @pomochat user in the chatroom seems to be the devs listening to ideas (and people are making proposals).
And when the crypto prices were going up, it was a safe bet with customer funds. Fraud, sure, but safe fraud, call it removal of unneeded regulations. Now, tho, looks like all that stuff between 2020 and now in crypto was, like the tech stocks, a bubble, and the longer term prices are more likely to be around where they are and stabler than previously, making a safe fraud a busted fraud.
Well to be fair, three of the four apps are Apple ecosystem apps (although Craft now expanding to other platforms).

Maybe Roam, Obsidian, Logseq would be better examples of booming apps note-takers jump ship to? But then, I think all of these apps are rather niche compared to Evernote.
I believe that these special meanings for "signs" and "symptoms", which deviate from their prior meanings in the English language, must have been used for the first time in some influential medical handbook from some important US Medical School, like the Harvard Medical School.

Then they must have spread in USA, and then in some other countries, like Brazil and Norway, which have been mentioned here.

At least France and Germany seem to be among the countries that have kept the traditional terms "objective symptoms" and "subjective symptoms".

Another poster said that "language changes" and this must be accepted. While there are many people who believe this, I do not agree with it. When language changes in order to speak about new things, that is obviously fine. When language changes because someone thinks that the traditional words are not cool any more and they make arbitrary changes in the meanings of the words, that, in my opinion, is lazy and stupid. Every such change in the meaning of the words makes more difficult both the communication with people from distant places, where the meaning changes have not arrived yet, and the understanding of the older writings accumulated during the last centuries, many of which are much more valuable than it is expected by those who read only what was published last year, thinking that the older publications are obsolete. In fact too many recent research papers reinvent things that are decades old, because their authors have not read the old literature.

This change in terminology has been completely random, one could have equally well chosen to use "signs" instead of "subjective symptoms" and "symptoms" instead of "objective symptoms".

So there is no way for someone who has not studied the recent medical terminology to guess what medical doctors mean when they speak about "signs" and "symptoms".

If the author of this terminology would have invented some new words, e.g. "obsyms" and "subsyms", then at least their use would not have caused confusions. Any listeners would have recognized them as unknown words and would have asked for their meaning.

> getting sick is not worth having a friend

Everyone has their own risk analysis. My analysis is that this is totally out of whack. Covid will be around longer than you’ll be alive. Make a friend it won’t kill you.

What really gets me though I know people with your level of risk aversion* who force their developing kids into lockdown. I think the cohort born ~2014-2018 are really gonna be an odd bunch.

* partial risk aversion. The risk of social isolation is not taken into account and weighed against.

When a company optimises for something so unrelated to the eventual job, it becomes anti-correlated with success.
Most of what passes for crypto isn't. The hard problem is not providing an encrypted channel, it's doing the rest, particularly key exchange. When you can construct an encrypted channel, then you need to look at maintaining the end points secure and ensuring the local data is appropriately secured and encrypted. Then, .... Crypto provides a few tools, but secure systems require careful design, analysis, and knowledge and a fascile command of some arcane mathematics.

> The best video I've seen is SBF basically admitting it was a ponzi scheme: [link omitted]

> Selling something with no value other than the attention it gets on Twitter and the reputation it gets via reputable investors.

But that is clearly not a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme involves an obligation to pay people returns on their fake investment. Here, the pitch was "I don't know why people want these things, but they do. Want one?", and that pitch was honest and accurate. There was no pretense that you'd be getting any special returns.

By your standard, all trading in any commodity or stock is a Ponzi scheme, unless you're planning to consume the stuff yourself. Did you buy 300,000 pork bellies? Ponzi scheme. Do you have a bar of gold? Ponzi scheme. Do you have a share of Tesla? Ponzi scheme.

Compare Charles Ponzi, whose investment thesis was "guaranteed returns of 50% in 45 days", who specified the exact trade he was making (buying American stamps in Italy, where they were cheap, and selling them in America, where they weren't), and who never actually performed that trade. A Ponzi scheme is defined by paying off people who have invested in you with funds from other people who have invested in you.
Gemini made it very clear that the Earn program had exposure to risk and described that risk step-by-step. Low risk, low reward.

Gemini the exchange is supposedly regulated similar to an American bank and as far as I know not directly affected by or responsible for the pausing of Earn withdrawals. My hope is that it's a matter of low liquidity at a moment rather than some1 ran out the back door w/ the loot.
So very true, so few people realize it

I think the main win is flexibility, you don't need as much infrastructure at your "spaceport". The payload is small so the fuel savings from launching closer to the equator would be minimal, especially for higher inclination orbits. Plus it's an easy political win to do the launches locally (the UK's plan calls for spaceport in Scotland, England, and Wales. I suppose that's their equivalent of NASA projects being built in all 50 states to spread the pork around). Plus doing launches in overseas colonies/possessions can be politically fraught. It occasionally has been an issue in France
