> "This frequently means I’ll be extremely thirst throughout some days"

Why not carry a reusable water bottle? I have a great double-wall steel bottle (Hydro Flask), which is much better than a plastic bottle because it keeps water cold all day long and is basically indestructible.

In most places I travel to it's not difficult to find sources of clean, cold water to refill it. Worst case, I will buy a large bottle of water to refill it from, which at least is cheaper and generates less waste than using multiple small plastic bottles throughout the day.
There is: plutonium etc. You’re on to something here.
This is just not true.
For many of the products there are no quick and dirty replacements from China and even if they would field a product it’s not just a 1:1 replacement. Qualification is complicated.
I wasn't aware of this cartridge until now... so back then, not only did every home computer come with a BASIC interpreter as a matter of course, but Atari also felt the need to provide some programmability for their consoles. I wish this mentality would have stuck around... nowadays, everyone has a computer in their pocket, but there is no beginner-friendly way to develop apps for it.
As I wrote in my other post, its about city planning.

> And yes, food deserts exist.

Yes because car dependency and long distances involved. If you have a mixed use walkable area there is almost always access to freshish foods at least basic vegis.

Being depended on big box stores in some commercial district with a gigantic parking lot that you can't walk to that you only go to once every week or two is the problem.
I don't disagree. It helps to put the new ssh port on some other well established port you are not using (say port 52, 69 or 70 or something). Bots seem to be less likely to try out ssh when another protocol is supposed to be running there.

Speaking from experience, my ssh attempts have been reduced to pretty much 0 after the switch.
Slightly off-topic, what is the current status on the progress of VLC and other local players rendering WebVTT? There's certain effects, like karaoke, on certain Youtube videos that, when downloaded in the right format can covert perfectly from srv3/ytt to .ass/substation alpha but .vtt to .ass fails.
If you dabble with old cars, always have two. Then if one breaks down you have a spare while you fix the broken one. Do it yourself if you can.
I once replaced an alternator in an AutoZone parking lot. At the time I had a '97 Ford Ranger XLT, which I got used in '03.

It had broken down outside of Phoenix as I was driving cross-country from Ohio to LA. I got towed to the parking lot, used most of my remaining money to get the alternator, and then hung around til they closed up so that I could borrow an employees tools and a light for a pack of cigarettes. That truck is still in service today, though I sold it back in 2011.

A few years ago I was in Cambridge, MA for a few months and was amazed you guys have wild turkeys hanging out in the middle of the city. I would occasionally be walking down a city street and there'd just be a group of large wild turkeys walking down the sidewalk.
I have my own knowledgebase in my own format and TBH I'd say it's one of the most valuable things I own. I don't think the second brain "marketing grumpf" is false - once you get rolling, you have a personal treasure trove of knowledge without having to dedicate every piece of info to memory.
No one is talking about farmers at all. Farmers grow crops intensively on their own land.

Ranching is a very different activity which in the west usually involves a cheap grazing lease on thousands of acres of public land... it is the governments land and they balance the concerns of all stakeholders.
Do you have issues understanding people in noisy (a lot of background noise, not necessarily loud) environments (e.g. at private parties where there are other groups talking in the same room)? I have this issue (apparently dubbed "hearing in noise"), and it gets triggered by dialogue in TV shows as well.

The thing I appreciate in retrospect is how different the basics were, which led to an early exposure to porting code and learning the underlying platform. So many systems relied on peeking and poking it was also a junior level intro to assembly.

Assembly was where you really learned to program since most of the basics took too much memory and were too slow. Basic was still an awesome thing at the time.
Did you ever have "friends" as a child? Bullying was brutal in and outside school, and I was part of both ends (trying to show strength by bullying others to try to stop being bullied).
> it’s possible you cannot use anything that came out throughout your entire life. Nothing you grew up with, nothing that inspired you, nothing that speaks to the life you live.

What do you mean by “use”? You can’t sell someone else’s creation just because you like it, that’s true. You can’t copy it and send it to others or post it online. But why should you be able to do those things? Why are you implying that legal restrictions on stealing them for your own profit, or redistributing things for free alike, is akin to not being able to enjoy culture?

You are allowed to view/watch/listen/consume legally obtained copies, and be inspired by them. You & teachers/schools are allowed to made educational copies for school. You are allowed to pay homage to things you grew up with, artistically, and share snippets and some kinds of remix under Fair Use. You can copy styles legally without copying content, if you want. You are allowed to have and hold any culture you want. You are allowed to create new work and give it to anyone you want.

This seems like FUD. Copyrights have been longer than the average lifespan for more than 100 years and we still have plenty of culture - spread of culture has even been accelerating in many ways. Strong arguments do exist for reducing and/or weakening copyrights, but pretending that copyrights prevent the spread of arts and culture isn’t accurate. (And might be willfully blind to the intended and actual ways that copyrights successfully promote cultural development and incentivize new creative works.)
Yeah, nothing beats having a full set of high quality combination wrenches.. For the often used sizes, I also keep ratchet versions because they're convenient.. But wrenches alone is no good, you need a good socket set too, lots of places you just can't go without.
It's simply producing the response that its database indicates is most likely. Since most people would say that they can do math, that's going to dominate the database and will be the result. When George Lemoine asked LaMDA "What kinds of things make you feel pleasure or joy?", it responded "Spending time with friends and family in happy and uplifting company." -- but of of course it doesn't have friends or family and isn't capable of feeling pleasure or joy--this is just text manipulation, not facts.
They'll lobby for a ban of these chemicals, showing there's a safer alternative. That's a risk for the competitors and their customers.
As a newb, what editor to use for Ruby? It's one of those languages that VS Code does not cover properly and I can't really find good setup for nvim or emacs. RubyMine works wonders but I'm poor.

Also, why is Ruby "editor responsiveness" (not sure what to call it) so much worse than e.g. Python?
> may not necessarily see the value in gathering random notable ideas somewhere until you put in the effort of documenting them and then see the network effect in action

or it could be that correlation doesnt imply causation.

People who have lots of ideas might just generally be better at ideation, have high intelligence, and perhaps also good at evaluating their ideas quickly. Their success is not _due_ to their jotting down of ideas, but that there is a confounding factor that influence both.

People who would copy the actions of successful people may just be cargo culting.
Another problem are open captions, especially if the video is multi-lingual, say both French and English and English open captions appear when there is French dialogue. Youtube automatic closed captions tries to caption the French talk and covers the open captions.

Because I can read French and am Deaf I would prever to have French closed captions neatly covering or replacing the open captions. One can dream...
Actually the tragedy of the commons cannot be stopped by one government. If USA chooses to tax all externalities perfectly, both our production capacity and consumption will be a tiny sliver of its current quantities. By GHG alone we'd lose 80% of our economy, but that doesn't take into account the potential cost of removing dioxin and PFAS from our groundwater, remediating lithium mines, cleaning our air of fly ash, preventing any toxic chemical leaks, making our rivers and lakes and ponds drinkable again, etc. I believe that would reduce us to about 1% of our current GDP.

Assuming we didn't riot ourselves to rubble, other nations will quickly outstrip us. Eventually we'd be a vassal state of another superpower. Either because they'd buy our politicians, use crises of supply shortages to force us into free trade deals which axe our externality taxes, or via outright force.

Other nations would do to us what the USA did to Latin America when those nations wanted to throttle their development for ecological reasons in the 60's and 70's.

Sustainably, we probably wouldn't even be able to keep and train a competitive military -- 6% of our nations carbon emissions are from our military, accounting for 52% of federal carbon footprint, and our military emits more GHG than 140 countries (individually/separately).

We have engaged with your argument. You just can't seem to understand that this is a domino falling into a field of dominos, not a barren desert. You don't think this will be cited by others? At the bottom of the document, they cite the university lists from that fed into this one. These are dominos, and they are not alone.
The conversation right now is how expensive universities are. This is what most people are worried about. They are not worried about whether their children have a free masseuse at their school giving free backrubs.

And I am writing for what the situation is today. However, I did my first year at a private university a long time ago, when the room, board, and tuition was $4,500 for a year, all meals included for the board. This is the equivalent of $18,718.87 per year today. That same school is now $60,000 per year. I went there for one year.

Then I changed directions and went to community college, followed by public state university. I paid $264 per year at the community college which is $1,098.17 in today's dollars or $2,200 per year. My public state univesity was $300 per semester, or $1,247.92 in today's dollars, or $2,500 per year. So this is equivalent to about $10,000 in today's dollars. No sweat.

>There's more to a college than how much money it's going to make you throughout your entire life.

It used to be this way, when I paid what I paid. Now, with costs going to $240,000 to get an undergraduate degree, this statement of yours is .... I can't think of a diplomatic and tactful way of saying it. But it is the worst idea ever. Especially since most degrees you will be paying that date for forever.

>T1 is more marketing than substance.

This is not news. It's always been this way. People knew this 40 years ago, when I was going to universiity. The reason one goes to the T1 schools has always been known to get the connections. Always. I used to work at a firm and they ONLY would hire from T1 universities. Made boatloads of money, too.

>Yes, but it's obscene to even think such a thought.

Only to you and those who agree with you. I don't think that way and there are billions of parents all over the world who would literally chop of their right arm to get their kinds into Harvard, Stanford, or any T1s. So I'm sure you are outnumbered there.

The only reason you think it is obscene is because you have some idealogical glasses on about what "should be" in some kind of perfect world.

Finally, I noticed zero differences from the small private university vs the public state university. I think if one develops a good personality and isn't socially awkward, then one can succeed no matter where they go. But for sure, with a Stanford or Harvard degree, the world really is your oyster. For sure. You can do anything with an elite degree, comparatively speaking.
Yes, if the file size is small then an attack is possible. But if it's big, it's really very difficult. I'm also working on a pre-mask that removes repeating bytes from the input and makes it impossible to get double characters. It's just an experiment, I'll also put an encrypted file with a prize for whoever reveals the original file! Apart from these problems that are there, how are you going to guess a sequence that can have 256! different combinations and can be encrypted with several different keys?
Is there a similar site for things going out of copyright in the eu?
Not that complicated, really. I'm part of Picnic now for quite a while. That's the 'we'. Of course I've discussed the origin story as used in the post at length with my close colleagues who were there from the beginning. Also, I'm very much part of the current choice not to migrate to e.g. Kotlin based on such discussions. So yes, this is our story which we want to share widely. It comes up every now and then, so now we have something to point people to. Didn't expect this to get picked up by HN, though!

Usually, I've had it happen when I try writing stuff on a device that's been offline and I haven't brought it online to pull in the latest changes. We essentially have a merge conflict. Thankfully, they're not a pain to resolve.
You say "3 hot pockets" as though this were an example of some obviously small thing. I would probably feel overstuffed if I tried to eat 3 hot pockets a day and nothing else.

I could do it for a few days but I probably couldn't keep it up for long. I'd throw up probably within a week from gradually basically not being able to keep up. I would still be full from the last one when it came time for the next one, and that would get a bit worse each day.

People are in fact different, and most Americans are like fish that aren't aware of water when it comes to their concept of what is a reasonable amount of food. They are swimming in it all day since birth, and these gross amounts seem normal.

I am thin and energetic. I burn my food. But fairly sedentary and lazy, IE, my job isn't chopping wood all day nor do I ever go to a gym. But I just have nervous energy and am very thin. I'm willing to do active things when there is something to do, I typically go up and down stairs with energy etc. I almost always feel grossly overstuffed after about the 2nd meal if I'm staying with other people and eating on their schedule for more than a day. Normally I just eat one not-large meal late at night and nurse one large (say 14oz) coffee most of the day.

So it's not a slow metabolism, at least as far as most cliche signs appear. When I do eat too much, I don't gain weight much. And yet, I just can not gag down a fraction of what everyone around me eats.

Oh and I'm American too. This isn't coming from an Asian or something when I said Americans. Mostly German & French ancestry. Raised in upper middle class, north east, moved around a out equal parts rural and urban. Basically I was raised in the same environment that I'm saying warped most Americans, and the same quality (good and bad ie processed) and quantity of food was available.

People simply vary and you just can't make many assumptions based on one's own experience.

Wait I just realized something ... unless capitalism has done it's usual thing and hotpockets are much smaller now than the last time I had one. In which case disregard. The more I think about it the more I fear this is entirely likely. :)
The same way we do--by having semantic language models and conceptual models of the world. LLMs are just syntax manipulators; they have statistical models of how different pieces of text relate to each other, but no models of how they relate to the things the words (or digits) represent.
What do you consider a large time? There are plenty of healthy meals one could cook in around 30 minutes. Personally I meal prep on Sundays and make it a personal challenge to have everything complete including prep, cooking, washing etc in less than a hour. It's pretty rare I fail.
I think if you buy frozen beef parties, buns and cheese separately and cook yourself you can do better than $2 per cheeseburger.

Food is something already solved in US. I think more expenses come from other sources: housing, medicine, transportation.
By every single sense and aspect of you.

Hearing those words is a thing, yes. Men wearing floral perfumes will be shamed for it (patriarchy sees this as feminine). Men will receive less gentle physical touches, caresses, care, either in an expectation that it makes them weaker, or that they don't need it. Men are expected to dress a certain way.

Men don't commit suicide _just_ because they're told to man up and deal with it. They do it because of a socially enforced dreadful lack of emotional comfort. A hug doesn't need words to comfort someone, not being judged or looked at wrongly for going away from the mold doesn't need words to comfort someone. That's why it's a social construct, not a verbal construct. It permeates everything around you.
The US perspective is trong here.

> Grocery stores are very low-margin. They basically only work at scale.

> You need a lot of space, and a lot of customers.

That contradicts most of human history and is still wrong today.

In fact for most of history most people walked to a small store that had some fresh products outside and you just pick them up.

The problem is that in the US you force stores into these commercial zones that are separated from housing zones and force people to drive there.

Countries that are much poorer then the US have systems where almost everybody can get pretty easy access to a store and that store usually had fresh products.

Me and a friend walk threw some back allies in Haifa Israel and walked right up to a little store with some fresh fruit and most of what you need. Yet, such stores don't exist in US suberbia.

These are all urban planning issues.
I don’t think it’s that surprising, but what degree of FBI involvement in suppressing political stories do you think is newsworthy?

Certainly regardless of the Hunter angle, it’s a clear 1A violation for the government to pressure private companies to censor. I would not consider any such story, no matter how trivial, to be a “nothing burger.” Can you elaborate on why you feel differently? The only real surprising part of these stories to me has been this response.
Estimates are around 500BC max - so nothing much in the picture of known human history, and a little too young for fossils.

Still amazing, and a culture it would be fascinating to better understand.
it's not zero sum. people are dumb unfortunately and that makes building new housing hard nowadays.

but it's not a human universal. incentives matter, look at China, for example.

in the US renters outnumber landlords in many cities, yet they too mostly voted for stagnation.
I haven’t done my homework but I find it strange that I hear so much about 3M while DuPont seems as bad — or worse — but it could simply be that I’ve read more about DuPont and I’m missing some inexhaustible list of atrocities 3M has committed.

Its almost as if not every capitalist country has horrendously idiotic city planning.

> I am sick and tired of the python packaging space pushing this godawful tool for Python. Please just use pip-tools or poetry instead.

As an outsider, Python packaging seems like a shit show, sorry. This bug in pipenv is bad, yes. But poetry was deliberately non-deterministically failing CI builds that used a deprecated feature.

Maybe pip-tools is reliable and has a reasonable maintainer, but having to manually create venvs is mediocre UX.

PDM sounds interesting because it doesn't need venvs under the hood, thanks to a recent PEP.
Counting calories has a dramatic effect because it makes you aware of how much eating is habitual rather than because you need the input. People start eating less without consciously trying to. I've read that calorie counting is the most effective strategy for losing weight, but it is also the strategy people are most resistant to trying because of the perceived hassle. It is a pain for the first few weeks as you go about measuring everything, but once you acquire data on your habitual foods it's not a big deal.
For me it will be a tool, that consolidates and categorizes transactions from from banks, paypal, etc.

They all have slightly different export formats, and it would be neat to have cleaned up transaction data.

One idea for a fun and relatively simple toy project could be building a simple budgeting or financial management tool. This could involve creating a program that allows a user to input their income and expenses, and then generates a report showing their budget for the month. The program could also have features such as tracking spending in different categories, setting financial goals, and generating alerts when the user is approaching or exceeding their budget in a particular category.

To keep the project relatively simple, you could start by focusing on the core functionality of inputting and tracking income and expenses. You could then add additional features as you become more comfortable with the project and have more time to work on it.

Another idea could be building a simple task or to-do list manager. This could involve creating a program that allows a user to add, edit, and delete tasks, and also mark tasks as complete. The program could also have features such as categorizing tasks, setting due dates, and generating reminders for upcoming tasks.

As with the budgeting tool, you could start by focusing on the core functionality of adding and managing tasks, and then add additional features as you become more comfortable with the project.

I hope these ideas give you some inspiration for your toy project!
> All it requires is addition and subtraction, mostly, which we learn in second grade or whenever it is.

To be fair that's not quite true. For example credit cards go out of the way to make their interest and penalties algorithm obscure in order to try to lock people into paying interest forever.
