> I found a way to live without them all.

I'm not willing to sacrifice my productivity for some ideological purity.

It would take weeks to create a fraction of what AHK already does for me with scripts I have improved every year.

I tried to explain in another thread some of the remappings I have: like how Caps often ends us remapped to Esc (when alone) or Control (in conjunction with another key: act as a modifier) on MacOS, my 2 shifts and 2 alt do their normal modifier function (when used in conjunction with another key) but when used by themselves act as PageUp/PageDown Home/End

Going up 2 pages up in the browser? The left shift pressed twice (Shift Shift) gives me 2 PageUp. Top of the page? Alt gives me Home. Bottom? The other Alt gives me End. Select from the point of edition to the beginning? Shift+Alt does Shift + Home. It's not the homerow, but it's 2 keys easy to reach, and never missing (unlike the actual PageUp which is often Fn + something - no I don't want to turn that into 3 or 4 keys).

Yes, doing Cap s=> Esc or Control is possible on Linux, but the rest will be complicated.

And it's just one of the many things AHK does for me! Here's another example: a partial screenshot into a base64 encoded PNG is just 2 keys away.

It might be possible to do all that on Linux, but last time I tried to get something a fraction as good as mintty (with ligatures, italic, sixels...) the best I could get was a pimped xterm.

For what I do, the tooling is just much better on Windows - and yes, you may not believe it, but even for tty/console things.
> learning without purpose sucks

Learning can be it's own reward. Learning can give you new eyes to appreciate the world.
It's the sugars that get you. Avoid processed foods at all cost. And avoid simple carbs like white bread, white rice, etc.
That viewpoint has a strong attraction for people who's natural weight is low, because they get to see themselves as strong willed and morally superior.
Do you appreciate those 8 lessons from where you were 10? In a way, you'd played guitar for 5 years when you strolled into that Guitar Center and started noodling.
You are of course completely right.

How do you parallelise building a docker image, compilation, uploading to a server and deploying to Kubernetes?

I was trying to remove all round trips from the equation.

I had no idea GLib did that. Their string implementation seems to be the best one to use, too, for those looking for a capacity, length, and data implementation. I'm a bit disappointed to know this now. But good on you for being strictly compatible; I feel like many people would fudge the implementation.

Thanks for sharing this.
It is expensive but so is treating health consequences of obesity

Let's hope this changes and insurance companies cover it
They've studied this, they put people om semaglutide then took them off of it for a year. Looks like every other weight loss intervention.

Nice. I wish all the examples included user/revenue/impact numbers (like Instagram) rather than only investment/valuation information (like Notion, WhatsApp, Kylie Jenner, etc)
> so EVs eliminate idling.

The vehicle, when stopped, has other functions to perform. It has hydraulic lifters and compactors that need quite a bit of power to operate. It's a working platform, not a simple garbage transportation mechanism.

Even to the extent is isn't for transportation, see how far away the dump is from your home. That distance has to be covered twice at least once a day, and possibly as much as 3 times per day.. and during one of those legs the truck is fully loaded with possibly up to as much as 20,000lbs of trash.

Finally, they have to operate in all conditions, in both very low and very high temperatures. The logistics of this aren't as simple as it would be for a standard vehicle.
I'd be sooner to suspect environmental contaminants (changing types of air pollution, microplastics, pesticides on food, stress hormones in factory-farmed meat, et al) as a cause.

Although I suspect there's something to your hypothesis as well. I don't know about a spoonful of oil, but I have gone through phases where food seems less "rewarding" on a physiological level, and as a result I feel more satisfied with less.
Can confirm. Mine has 3 replacement keys from an AliExpress set. It's working as it should.

I'm on my third keyboard already, so this is a godsend.

Love the analogy. For years after school I found myself going into "test mode", a timeboxed intellectual fight to the death. Works great when the work gets distilled to a number and thrown away, not so well when you have to keep working with your results...

$1000/month seems like a decent amount of money for a lot of people. I'm guessing a large number of folks would love to lose weight miraculously. I wonder how long before we get a bootleg analog that can be bought in the non-medical drug market in the same way as testosterone can be bought. Now that the mechanism is known (GLP-1 inhibition) are these the kind of drug, e.g. LSD, valium, or morphine, that is easy to create a facsimile or analog of?
That sounds to me like a false equivalence. The cause of obesity is not that food is plentiful because different rich countries have different obesity rates. There is something else driving this issue and, in my opinion, is the prevalence of processed foods and use of highly processed seed oils.
No it's not, it's an assertion that there is an essential biological or chemical function that occurs in the brain that results in human mental phenomenon. It has nothing to do with a soul. That's ridiculous.

Perhaps the union organizers think this but it doesnt really make much sense given that the trains (subway) in NYC are the first thing I would automate and apparently still have drivers. Automating trash pick-up in NYC is probably harder than L5 autonomous driving.
People love DeepL translations for the same reason, that they sound convincing, even though they are often completely wrong. Even before that people were (and still are) trusting the infocards that Google puts in search results based on arbitrary snippets it extracted from the webpage, because those snippets are presented as authoritative even though they're often out of context or completely wrong.

People are used to AI being clunky, unfocused, ungrammatical text, ala markov chain bots from the 2000s. So conversely this kind of verbose, coherent, well-written text appears to be knowledgeable and correct.

I can only hope that deepfakes and such become popular enough that people learn to be less trusting of what they find on the internet.
> Groups of people built them

And they got financed by the governments. Mens shelters didn't, and didn't get built. Men only scholarships would bring protests and calls of sexism, while women-only somehow don't.

Sometimes they even protest against such things:

The problem with that is there are some things you might be treated like a toaster fucker offline but are not that at all.

For example seeking therapy itself, or going to toastmasters being examples of what idiotic mates might laugh at you for doing.

If Google fails to filter out shitty SEO blogs on topic X, how is ChatGPT going to do the same? Changing the results format from a list of links to a paragragh of natural language doesn't alter the content.
This is exactly why I like to use a gaming keyboard with extra programmable function keys off to the left side. All the flexibility without having to override any default functionality that the standard keys might have.

Edit:
Also, dedicated media keys and a volume control wheel/knob are a must!
one of the worst decisions the MBTA has ever made. battery buses are inferior to trolleybuses in pretty much every scenario, but especially winter. the battery buses they're replacing the trolleybuses with have diesel heaters to keep the batteries warm.
Unfortunately I didn't touch the guitar again until picking up that mag, so it was all lost, including my nascent ability to read music.
Kinda, drugs/diet/exercise you can stop. But most people don't undo the gastric bypass surgery. (I don't even know if it's possible)
I work as online support for the US' largest private company, being one of the main direct point of contact their business partners have with the company -- and I can 100% attest for this.

On a daily basis, my team (which consists of 2 people only, on a good day) deals with hundreds of partners facing dozens of different issues. We are only trained to deal with maybe 3% of the issues we receive -- the rest, we must redirect to other dozens of internal departments, or escalate to other teams.

The problem is: I (and my colleague) have zero idea who is the correct team to re-direct to/escalate most of the time. This is not because we don't want to know, but because most of the time even our leaders and their leaders have no idea who is the right person to deal with those problems.

The company is so big (and not properly organized) that some issues their business partners' face go almost 2 months without a solution, with endless email threads of one team pinging the other...

It is bad for the costumer/supplier, and also for the employees, who have been alienated of their job and are left to "none's devices" to do their job.
I LOVE the darkmode toggle. Congrats!
Thank you for grand standing about obesity and your relationship with your body. We all really needed it and it was very helpful.

FDA approves these for use in most people above 30 BMI. Some people may be considered for it at 28 BMI. If you're looking for last mile weight loss, this may not actually be worth it. The side effects, especially getting started, can be really rough.
> I think it would be hard to retrofit such a thing onto the already-built-up parts of the city though.

It would be prohibitively expensive, because there's no master record of which pipes/wires/cables/etc. exist in any given location. It's very expensive to dig in Manhattan[0], because you basically have to dig carefully and see what's actually there, rather than having some knowledge of "the gas pipes are in this spot, so we can dig around them". So much of the infrastructure was installed before detailed record-keeping was standard practice.

As far as trash collection in NYC, the main thing that needs to happen is containerized trash collection. Right now, trash bags are just left on the sidewalks 3-5 times per week for 12 or more hours at a time, creating an absolute buffet for rodents.

[0] This actually applies to most of the city, but Manhattan is a combination of the oldest-built and most-densly-built infrastructure, so it's particularly expensive there.
haha, it is here to grab, works best for the devtool builders like myself
Right. If we're talking about practical usage though, GPG sees more widespread adoption than blockchain auth. Part of it is because it's older, but also because it's simpler and more redundant.

Observability has never been sexy. It's a lot of grunt work and boilerplate.

That being said, New Relic has served us fairly well. Especially if you put in the grunt work for distributed tracing between the client and your servers.
youtube consistently steers everyone who touches it to more and more extreme content with the passage of time. It's not unique, and often times that content tends to be anti-science.

I'm not the OP but youtube is tainted for anything other than entertainment and a few select channels like the ones by PBS e.g Space Time.
The Netherlands has absolutely nowhere approaching the density of NYC. Even Queens has a density twice that of Amsterdam, and Manhattan 7x. If you see NYC on garbage days the streets are lined with mountains of bags. Each corner would have to have a virtual mine shaft to hold 1000s of bags of garbage.

Also contrary to movies, Manhattan has almost no alley ways either. There's no space for anything. Even when it snows in many areas they have to take the snow and dump it in the East River.
Does every artist not learn by first copying/stealing from those that inspired them in the first place? How is it different for an AI if we ignore the speed and scale for a moment? I’m not saying they should quit whining, I truly understand the frustration (being a developer watching ChatGPT do/copy/steal my “art” too). Perhaps Kasparov’s idea of working together with AI should be adopted in the art world too?
Yes thats definitely true. The PSA test i mentioned is one such example of blood test causing over treatment. I think they used to start PSA tests at 40 but now they start much later because it was causing over diagnosis.

No it isn't. Copywriting starts very cheap, and getting a text-generator that doesn't understand your product to finally generate something which looks like it does isn't any less time consuming than writing words (especially short form copy). 200 iterations of generated copy stressing that the advantage of using ChatGPT for copywriting is its team's experience of SEO in slightly different ways are all equally useless to promote ChatGPT, the service which doesn't have a team of experienced writers and doesn't have experience in SEO.

And the really expensive bit of copywriting is the failed conversions. A LLM which when prompted to generate an ad for a particular market is trained to produce something which looks as similar to the competition and as much like an ad as possible isn't likely to generate the highest conversions....

Darn, at some point I started imagining he had a protocol for synchronizing clocks over a distance. assuming the difference was in longitude. (E.g. Symmetric NTP over carrier pidgeon.)
colon cancer rates are rising amongst everyone, even thin people.

Yeah, look at all these super-old people like Alan Greenspan, Warren Buffett, Kissinger, Munger who pretty much have terrible diets, obese, no exercise yet still going strong, productive. Shows the power of genes. "Your BMI is below 23, therefore we will skip the colonoscopy and prostate/PSA exam and blood work," said no doctor ever (unless the doctor wants to get sued, I suppose).
Evolution had no care about the understanding of applied physics when we came up the evolutionary tree. Understanding physics here almost has no effect on our behavior.

Instead look at the evolutionary incentives. If you starve you are going to die and it is going to fucking hurt the entire time you are dying.

With that one line of information you now understand not only humans but the vast majority of animal life on this planet and why almost all animals get fat if you leave a full food dish around. We are optimized to avoid starving at all costs. When winter comes you could die. When the summer drought comes you could die. Your animal brain is yelling at you to pack on the pounds now that the eating is good because the lean times are coming. Our animal brain has no understanding or concept that times are good, we need to slow down. It has never been a primary evolutionary driver.
A family member has had gastric bypass. You can have everything “replumbed” if complications require failing back to something similar to previous state.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27387697/

With that said, I would be interested if new weight loss drugs negate the need for gastric bypass in the first place. Comes across as medieval and barbaric if the hormones/drugs are superior.
I suppose the concern goes something like this. Under certain metabolic conditions, each fat cell (in a region) decides it needs to be size X, and grows / shrinks accordingly. And under other conditions, each fat cell (in the same region) decides it needs to be size X*3.

If there are more fat cells, then and they all decide to increase in size, then that could be a substantial weight gain, beyond what would be expected otherwise.

Been through it before, when I used ColdFusion. Not highly regarded these days, but among the options at the time, it was ridiculously fast to build applications in. To this day, even has some features missing in other languages/frameworks. However, things shift in the industry. In CF's case, it was the shift to open source and package managers, IMO. There's no value in casting stones at the use cases that undermine your worldview. (Personally I love Ruby, but if and when the time comes, I'll move on to whatever meets the needs of my employer/client)

Have you compared LZ4 to other compression algorithms, zstd for example? ( https://github.com/phiresky/sqlite-zstd )

Given that LiteFS operates at the filesystem layer via FUSE, have you considered it against designs that use built-in features native to some filesystems? For example, I've considered a similar system design based on a single ZFS primary node that streams ZFS snapshots to reader nodes. With some coordination service (e.g. consul) it could still allow for the whole node promotion process.
> The final piece I learned with any aplomb was Mozart’s Violin Concerto no. 3 in G Major with a Sam Franko cadenza. The cadenza was a little beyond me: the fingering too tricky, my apathy too high. Playing it was like trying to grasp something just out of reach; with the next stretch, my ligaments would tear and bones would pop out of their sockets. This caused my teacher, my mother, and me angst in no small measure.

Mozart 3 is the first Mozart many violin students study, and this is where a lot of my violin mates quit, too. The problem---apart from the general problem with violin education---is that Mozart requires too much maturity in musicality. There's a reason major violin competitions usually require a Mozart piece at certain rounds, despite the relatively low technical difficulty compared with Romantic concertos or show pieces. The transparency of Mozart is a true test on how well a player understand the music, know how to phrase, and express themselves in an interesting but not peculiar way. A technically well-played Mozart can still sound like monotonous misery if the player doesn't have the ability to interpret it. So, it really only works for goal-oriented students (I've gotta win this competition), and is a chore for a lot of other students.

(And I say this as a big fan of Mozart's music)

I wasn't a Suzuki kid, but a thing that I felt really envious about, is that a proper Suzuki method encourages playing with your peers to a degree. A Suzuki teacher is supposed to arrange duets, recitals, etc., and it is just much more fun to play with and for your friends, instead of the guy in the mirror.

I'd like to point out that most of us don't retain every single hobby we attempted as a child. It is a natural outcome of growth, where we understand ourselves better, and learn to achieve happiness in a more strategic manner. I've seen questions by teenagers on violin forums, of such a kind: "I'm entering med school, and I'll be too busy to practice the violin. What should I do?" And just like some wise teachers pointed out, it's easier to be a doctor and an amateur violinist, than the other way around, so focus on your study first, and pick up the violin later when your life is less stressful.

It's fine to give up, for a while, or forever, or replace it with something else. There are many paths towards music, some are much easier or cheaper than others, and even music itself is not the only path to happiness anyway.

We all want to have unlimited time and have mastered all the skills in the world, but we don't have unlimited time, and most of the road to mastery is too long and too hard. It's worth it to sit down with yourself and ask whether this is something you really want, or is it merely the avoidance of cutting a sunken cost.
These drugs are way more difficult to manufacture than testosterone. I'm sure we'll see things branded as a knockoff but I doubt we'll see any true knockoffs.
IMO it's purely a question of perspective. From the point of view of individual health, you need to think like a doctor. The important question is "what can this individual do to improve their health?" From that perspective it's a "lifestyle" problem, as you put it. The individual has a food supply that is unnaturally calorie dense and unhealthy. To lose weight and improve their health the individual must make an effort to shift that; for some it might be impossible. For others it might be possible with a great deal of effort or with drugs.

From the point of view of public healthy, you need to think like a public health expert. From this perspective it makes perfect sense to talk about "natural weights" as something that can change (and has risen) over time. The calorie dense food environment and sedentary lifestyles are things that exist in the background here. Given these background facts, the weights of the great majority of people (who don't have the time, means, willpower, etc to resist) are going to rise to a new higher "natural" point. For some, foods will be so calorie dense and provide so little nutrition or satiety that they experience runaway obesity. These are just predictable downstream effects of the environment, and so the perspective of the public health expert is that individuals aren't to be blamed and you have to fix the environment. Ban soda in public schools, etc etc.
I am thinking of learning guitar/piano at some point for exactly that reason - a little effort, have some fun and get some social recognition!
Sounds to be like it’s you just having an issue with NYC
What does the size of the city have to do with it? When thinking about "greatest city", I don't think "solving problems at scale" is one of my criteria.

I love visiting Manhattan and Brooklyn, but frankly have a hard time imagining living there. And I live in SF, which is far from being an ideal city.
Liposuction isn't a solution for fat loss beyond some localised cosmetic reduction. You can't use it to put a morbidly obese person in normal BMI range.
