No. You are being abusive when you throw out insults to a commenter who argues something you disagree with - please don't try and obfuscate what you were doing, and check the HN guidelines before commenting further, as you are repeating the hostile and condescending tone and should know better.
Heck yeah. I do this too. I honestly like the slightly nerdy frankenstein look.

sticker pocket

Can you recommend a sticker pocket? I looked, and I'm not sure which ones might be suitable for holding a hard drive to a laptop.

What I've always done is: a clear acrylic ~$15 shell for the MacBook. Which is something I do anyway. And then I velcro-tape the drive to that shell.

Agreed, but I expect the HN audience is already far from the norm covered by your "many people".
That’s only for the money you put in the stock market in 2000 though. Usually you continually put new money into stocks, which somewhat flattens out the risk. Nevertheless, you arguably shouldn’t invest unless you’re prepared to hold for 10-15 years.
It’s not personalized at all when I tried it about a year or so back.

I signed on and in my intake explicitly said I wanted new shorts and I live in Texas so don’t need jackets.

They sent me a jacket and some shoes and shirts and no shorts.

If you’re looking to build out a whole new closet it might be okay if you just want whatever the current style is but if you want something specific it didn’t look like a good product.
Sounds I need to stay well away from this game for now haha, I bounced off Factorio several times over the last few years and got wildly addicted to it a couple months ago. I imagine a similar fate could be in store with DF if I let myself peek in.

I've got a decent run on a side project right now, and I've noticed that (no surprise) when I get into a new game, all of a sudden all of my "healthy" hobbies like guitar, weightlifting, and coding go out the window.

Definitely planning to take a run at Dwarf Fortress eventually though.
Or we see a contraction in globalization in general in which all economies shrink.

It's entirely reasonable that we could enter a period of long, slow decline across the board. Especially as we continue to push the limits of natural resources and global supply chains.

For example suppose the US continues to move its push to return chip manufacturing to the US. This might mean both that US chip manufactures have a more healthy future than other more fragile tech companies and that they shrink in size. We could see a return of manufacturing to the US which leads to continued employment in US labor for while also meaning that labor force gets paid much less.

We're already starting to see evidence of this happening.

The concerning thing is that I'm not at all sure that our incredibly debt dependent global economy, which assumes future growth, can really handle a gradual contraction to a more sustainable economic structure.

Either way, assuming up is the only way for the market to go is a very naive assumption, but one nobody is happy questioning.
Letting the wheel slide through your hand like that doesn't apply a torque, so you will get nagged and you will have to jiggle the wheel once in a while. By resting your hand on the corner of the yoke, it has just enough torque to keep the system happy indefinitely.
Yes. Anyone who bought the indices in 1964 lost money before and after taxes for the better part of two decades.

In the past, the stock market has sometimes behaved in ways that in hindsight make no sense to anyone, with valuations staying depressed for much longer than anyone ever expected at the outset. I'd be wary of any predictions of stock market behavior for the next 5, 10, and 20 years.
How do people lose weight?
In the same vein, companies like Amazon should be required to setup recycling and reuse programs for all their packaging that end up in landfills.
Excellence is overrated for anything you don’t really really care about. The price to get to the next level of noticeable quality goes up really fast after a bit above average.
On the other hand, for DF veterans "just replaced the ASCII graphics with sprites and changed some hotkeys" would have been the most charitable thing they could have done. I haven't played the Steam version yet, but my reading of reviews gives me the strong impression that they've changed so much that I will have to approach it as an entirely new game.
The argument that the US stock market always goes up over relatively long periods of time seems somewhat flawed to me. If it were true that it was always best to invest in US stocks, everyone’s (longish term) money would flow to that asset class, thus undervaluing something else in return. So it just seems that it can’t be a dominant strategy or else everyone would be doing it. Wouldn’t that leave assets like bonds, real estate, foreign stocks, etc undervalued?
My intuition is that in the case of audiobook narrators who adopt different voices for different characters, VALL-E would struggle to identify which character is speaking and thus produce the correct voice for a given portion of, say, text in quotation marks. In some bits of prose it can be difficult for a human reader to determine who is speaking, for that matter, but this is a classic weakness with the current crop of AI tools, and stems from a lack of actual understanding of the text.

The rise and fall of empires is a way more complex topic than the author paints it to be in this post. Yes distance to the outer reaches is an important factor, but so are a hundred others. Economics, religion, trade, climate, technological progress, and above all leadership – all play an important role in the shaping of civilization.
Thanks for that. I'm in the PNW and I've been looking around for a good tailor. I was ordering some of my stuff pseudo-custom from sonofatilor but it's a bit hamstrung by how bad I am at taking my own measurements. Other than that the shirts are really nice, but the wool is a bit fragile (no afilliation). I also have a bit of an odd shirt size so this is helpful
Logitech Master MX 3. Perfect for anyone with bigger hands that ache after a while of mild mouse usage. Also, long/free and side scroll features are super nice.
They just need to float solar farms on it. Those will cut evaporation. Likewise, the Aral Sea.

But the main problem is stealing water from rivers feeding it. If they don't get a handle on that, nothing else can help much. There is no substitute for sound governance. Unfortunately, Utah is in the grip of a commitment to bad governance as officially advertised policy. I don't know how you get back from that.
Historically farmers (and most people really) have sucked the area dry before getting worried.

US farmers are certainly doing that right now, the incentives encourage it, and they're quick to lobby against changes in incentives.

That's also what you get from a prisoner's dilemma, a farmer switching to conservation will increase their production prices and / or lower their yields (as they'll at least need to invest in new farming methods, probably new hardware, and will have to learn those), and they'll fall behind their neighbours to say nothing of the market as a whole.

From a comment I made before this ruling but which is now decisively confirmed:

The thing is, "not your keys, not your coins" is not just true technically, but true legally. If Coinbase were to become insolvent and decide to use your coins to repay their creditors, you might say, "Hey, you can't do that, that's my money!", and they would-- correctly-- respond, "No, it isn't. Read that user agreement again." They really are not your coins.

Why is "reserve currency" the central issue?

Also, the US stock market, US Dollar and US economy/gdp aren't hard linked to one another these days. The companies listed can be selling to non US markets, employing internationally, founded internationally. They're just listing on the US stock market because well.. that's where the stock market is. The US could, in theory, become more or less popular a stock market regardless of its currency's popularity.

Meanwhile, both the Euro and RMB have similar size markets backing their currency. Neither one is currently trying to displace the USD. I think the importance of owning the international currency is somewhat speculative.

Very fair. haha.
Your point is valid - we shouldn't take single-country risk in investing. Assuming you believe the world as a whole will get more productive and value creating, globally diversifying your stocks is the answer.

As an example that supports your point, the Japan stock market (Nikkei) peaked in 1989 and STILL has not returned to that high.

However, even if you were incredible unlucky and had bought in at the 1989 peak in Japan, if you had an internationally diversified portfolio, you would be OK. E.g. a 30/30/20/20 Jp Stocks/Intl Stocks/Jp Bonds/Intl Bonds portfolio purchased in 1989 at the Nikkei peak would have more than doubled by 2014 (see here: https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=265807 and also https://www.afrugaldoctor.com/home/japans-lost-decades-30-ye...).

Fine. How about New Spain? And the Philippines?
Kind-of.

The basic idea of needing to be able to display both screens with the same tileset during screen transitions does exist.

The game has a common section, and a section that can vary by screen. However most screens just use the common section, with only some screens using the unique section. Between any two unique sections the game will have at least one screen that does not use that section of the tilemap.

On screen transition, if the transitioned to screen needs a unique section, it is loaded, and then the screen starts to scroll. However the game will correctly handle going directly from one screen that uses the unique section to another. The only issue is that the old screen may look weird between when the new section is loaded, and scrolling has finished.

So what is happening with death mountain ascent/descent? Well, the death mountain area actually uses a modified version of the global tileset. (And modified versions of certain global palette entries). Normally it is not possible to go from the rest of the overworld to death mountain or vice versa, except via a cave (and switching from underworld to overworld requires reloading the tilesets), or via flute (where the same occurs).

The game lacks any code to modify the global part of the overworld tileset (and palettes) on a normal screen scroll transition, as that is never supposed to be needed in normal gameplay.

(There are similar considerations about what enemies can appear on adjacent screens, due to needing to manage sprite tilesets.)
> It takes energy to copy, and misreading it can cause fatal or maladaptive mutations

Can maladaptive mutations really be caused by copying DNA that's not used much (as far as we can tell, like the DNA for endogenous retroviruses in our genome)?
Well, quite obviously the peer reviewers the journal selects can't be from inside the experiment, and are thus frequently less well informed than collaboration members on which bugs in the software to look out for for example.
I live in Germany, and here the houses generally don't have machine ventilation so one has to air manually and regularly. As an example: earlier today I closed the door to my office (ca. 18 m2 / 194 sqft). The window was closed. After 2 hours the CO2 levels rose from 935 ppm to 1966 ppm. Letting air in for 20 minutes reduced the CO2 levels to 869 ppm.

I had multiple air fryer models over the years. The stirring functions (a rotating paddle that stirs the food) is an ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER and a must for me.

Unfortunately those equipped with a stirring function come up as expensive. I would love to see a < $100 air fryer equipped with it.

Somewhat similar, I've used a smart light (Philips Hue), Home Assistant (with a ConBee II zigbee dongle), and a lighting rhythm plugin (https://github.com/claytonjn/hass-circadian_lighting) to adjust brightness and color temperature. Much more expensive, but I get other benefits, like dimming lights nicely in the evening

That's so Orwell.

Orwell's job during WWII was translating news into Basic English, the 1000 word vocabulary, for radio transmission to the colonies. (India, Hong Kong, etc.) He had to take out ambiguity, euphemisms, and verbosity to hammer news into that limited vocabulary. He discovered that this is a political act. Removing ambiguity from political writing changes the meaning. It cannot be done neutrally, because reducing the ambiguous to the concrete requires making a decision.

Hence this essay, and, later, Newspeak.

I never talked about asset allocation, you did, but going 100% equities to 0% equities is not reasonable either.

Yes you probably want some bonds, but you still need some equities.

I already addressed that though. Operating under the hypothetical and assumption that humans could survive in the ocean, humans couldn't develop technology and written history and knowledge in the ocean without having done so on land first, even with our hand dexterity, much less with fins.

Humans existed a long time before proper technology development, and those humans were just as intelligent as modern ones. The ability to create technology is not a requirement for higher intelligence.

Even then, orcas do use tools, what they have access to. Without technology, humans stand no chance against an orca, and that goes for any animal in the ocean, from blue whales to great white sharks.

> I think OGL came from a realization that this sort of thing wasn't good.

What it was created to do, and what Hasbro is leveraging it to do, are two different things. The same thing happened with 4E/the GSL, which everyone's forgotten but was essentially the beta run at Hasbro trying to invalidate the OGL.

The thing is, Hasbro doesn't even need to invalidate the OGL. They recaptured so much of the market with 5E and the OGL-agnostic, IP-friendly Dungeon Master's Guild that they could just stop publishing and supporting OGL-compatible products altogether. As long as One D&D doesn't botch things as badly as 4E, I don't think the current market would care.

Yes, he would have been, or would have escalated to get banned.

Remember, when he had a dispute with someone local to him in England, he came in the front door unnanounced when the house had guests, went to their living room coffee table, pulled his pants down, and proceeded to poop on their coffee table *in front of everyone*.. And then left.

If he were in the Streaming era, this would have been streamed. No doubt. And he would have been summarily banned.
Eh, the problem with this idea is everything appeals to the lowest common denominator eventually. All subs (and even HN) would fall to Sturgeon's law if lead to its logical conclusion.

Smaller forums in the past tend to deal with this by having some groups that were strongly moderated with a strict set of rules and no/low tolerance of them being broke. Then more 'general' discussions where the rules were lessoned.
Yes, of course. My point is that they're screwed either way. The time to fix this was 30 years ago.
NixOS got me into homelabbing. Before nix, the maintenance burden of running a home server felt too high. Now I run lots of things, and the incremental cost of running one more service or app is low enough that I explore lots more.

Here’s what all I’m running:

- NixOS based router. NAT, DNS, DHCP.

- NixOS NAS + app server. ZFS for storage, and I run radarr, sonarr, NZBGet, nginx hosting various websites and reverse proxy to most of the services listed here, homebridge, zigbee2mqtt, Octoprint, grafana, and more.

Let’s encrypt/ACME certs for each virtual host, and it Just Works thanks to the NixOS nginx modules that make it super easy.

I highly recommend NixOS if you want to have a single service running a ton of different apps. It will keep you sane.
