Same for you! Interestingly, contrary to you, my wife and I only ever gardened for produce. Didn't turn out that well with poor soil and drainage, but we tried. Wishing we had the space for it again at our current residence. And, of course, I'd actually like to have more space dedicated to native plants and biodiversity. I love bees, butterflies, moths, hummingbirds and other pollinators. Even small areas of 'nature' (if you can call specifically cultivated areas nature) really improve the enjoyment and charm of a living space.

Hmm. It misses the ironic 'thanks to HN advice' point, and more importantly it mixes up suspensions (if I understand correctly): the main ads account was not suspended again *. First the secondary ads account was suspended and only then the main ads account.

* This proves ChatGPT has no world model. If it had one, it would have been aware that undoing a Google suspension is impossible, therefore no account can be suspended twice. /j
Also, just for the record, I'm the sort of person that really dislikes magic command lines, I don't want docs that tell me do fly this or that. I want it to be possible in the web console (almost nothing is) and via the Terraform provider (glad it exists but frankly it's an alpha/WIP) and for parity vs the CLI in docs.

I used it in above comment as a shorthand for the fact that such an API/functionality exists that you can just say to Fly.io (whether via CLI or ~better~ other means) 'hey stick this in a second region too'.

Zig is one of the most highly consistent languages I've ever worked with. Often time I think, I wonder if I can... And then I find out that, yes, it does work that way, and, yes, I can. It just isn't often consistent with the way any given other language does things, and often angrily picks a construct/name from another language and uses it totally differently, but honestly, on reflection I often come to realize that my initial anger is ultimately because that other language has been inconsistent or special casing stuff.

White House sets deadline for purging TikTok from federal devices
At the height of the Smart Contract hype I used to bring arguments like these as an example why automating justice is not something you want to do.

Generation after Generation of fresh "sovereign citizens, 5-year olds and techbros" is surprised that judges are in fact allowed to use life experience and common sense before making a decision.

"Not guilty because of a technicality" is usually reserved for TV.

IMO, we have a choice in whether or not we want to get caught up in hype. Actively choosing to avoid it may mean curating your Twitter feed. It may mean not talking to certain people who can't shut up about it. If you are feeling really genuinely overwhelmed, it might me a good idea to disconnect momentarily and go for a walk. Ground yourself in nature.

I don't think food has gotten that much cheaper in the last 50 years. Don't believe the fake CPI. Just take the average hourly earnings and divide it by something like the big mac index or a basket of food commodities.

Not everyone reads tech news. As long as Amazon uses "buy" rather than "rent" or "subscribe" I don't think most people will notice.

This sounds like something some government somewhere could go after Amazon for, but I very much doubt that it'll happen any time soon.

I think the idea that men can focus on skill development to date in a harder market is a valid one, but also misleading. This is because the dating environment for straight men currently is a
highly unkind learning environment. (Namely the feedback one gets in the environment is hard to learn from)

My understanding is that for a man, getting a move almost right can be worse than not making the move at all, for example attempting to move in for a kiss at almost but not quite the right moment. And errors are currently harshly socially judged. Hence a lot of men, particularly sensitive men who worry about making women uncomfortable, are inexperienced and feel stuck and trapped in that inexperience.

I think this unkindness of environment is a societal issue and one that cannot be levied as a failure of young men. Ultimately it is costly for all, men and women, as both would be better of and happier if the men knew what they were doing, and knew how to appeal to women.
I'm not sure what I don't explore as much new music as I used to many years ago.

I think the last new to me band I started regularly listening to is Sloppy Seconds, and that came about in a very roundabout way. I overheard someone at work say they needed a new ethernet card, someone nearby said they had a spare and tried to hand it to the first guy, and the first guy said "I don't want your sloppy seconds!". Then they realized what "sloppy seconds" mean, and said "Uh oh...am I allowed to say that at work?".

I told them not to worry. If someone complains just tell HR you were talking about the band. For every vulgar or shocking word or phrase there is a band somewhere with that as their name. If HR wants details just tell them you heard them at a small club when you were in college.

I then Googled "sloppy seconds band" and indeed there was one. The description said:

> Sloppy Seconds is an American, Ramones-influenced punk band sometimes referred to as a junk rock band from Indianapolis, Indiana, United States, that started in 1984. They gained notoriety in the underground punk scene with gritty and controversial songs like "Come Back, Traci," "I Don't Want to be a Homosexual", "Jani is a Nazi", "I Want 'em Dead" and "So Fucked Up."

> The band's unusual and controversial lyrics encompass pornography, classic horror movies, classic television shows, comic books, alcohol, being fat, and getting drunk.

I like the Ramones, classic TV shows, comic books, and am fat so checked if they were on Spotify. They were. I listed to some tracks and there was some good stuff.

I've occasionally listened to the Billboard Hot 100 playlist on Spotify to see what is currently popular, but haven't really come across anything there made me want to hear more from the same artist.

I recently was in the mood for tragic songs. I was thinking of things along the lines of "Tell Laura I Love Her" or "Dead Man's Curve", and tried to do a search for likely playlists of such songs. One of the results was "Tragic Ballads for Crying" which was around 4 hours of music.

That was pretty good, although it was mostly older folk songs so didn't actually fit what I had been trying to find. By far the most seemed to be old Irish and Scottish songs, with songs about families with members fighting on both sides of the American Civil War being the third most common.
I remembered how awful it is to go viral
And it's worth pointing out that this process doesn't take that long. A few seconds per page, plus you're photographing two pages at once so you're only turning N/2 pages, or ~170 times for your average length novel. You can definitely plow through multiple books in an hour this way.
It's good to see that you're having fun with Haiku. I actually enjoyed programming for Haiku a couple of years back on my Haiku only project (Medo), these days I'm 100% exhausted with my day job (and my previous company went into liquidation and I changed jobs / continents), and it's hard to make the time for passion projects.

Best of luck with your project, I look forward to seeing it released one day.
I find that Go errs way too strongly on the explicit side, but overall it's still better than many other alternatives.

For error handling I tend to write in a style where errors are either asserted out or "folded". If I do several operations in sequence any of them could err, I code in a way where I don't check every single op: instead I make some kind of "error accumulator", or write the code in a style such that if the previous operation failed the next operation will become effectively noop. I then check for errors at the end of the process.

That said, Go is actually right about treating errors as values and not giving special language constructs to throw/catch them.
This was inspired by seeing a job description that said "no job hoppers." I thought "tell me you have employee retention issues without actually saying it."

While, farm consolidation is a growing concern (pun very much intended), the current reality is that large mega-farms are still the minority. Family owned farms still account for 89% of all agricultural product in the US. 47% of production is coming from farms grossing less than $1 million annually.

There's plenty of issues with the 'widely accepted' aspartame safety. There's indeed a lot of research that says aspartame is safe, but not as many if you exclude those that are not financed directly or indirectly by the industry. I will not even get into the circumstances around the Bressler report and the fact that it took a change of FDA leadership to get it approved.

There's a good list here: https://www.efsa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/event/documen...
Yeah, it's pretty laughable that the source they link to for those "possible definitions" right away says this:

> AI is defined in many ways and often in broad terms. The variations stem in part from whether one sees it as a discipline (e.g., a branch of computer science), a concept (e.g., computers performing tasks in ways that simulate human cognition), a set of infrastructures (e.g., the data and computational power needed to train AI systems), or the resulting applications and tools. In
a broader sense, it may depend on who is defining it for whom, and who has the power to do so.

I don't see how they can possibly enforce "if it doesn't have AI, it's false advertising to say it does" when they cannot define AI. "I'll know it when I see it" is truly an irksome thorn.

Deterministic if/then statements simulate a surprising coverage of average human cognition, so who's to say a program comprised of them is neither artificial nor intelligent? (That's hand-waving over the more mathematical fact that even the most advanced AI of today is all just branching logic in the end. It just happens to have been automatically generated through a convoluted process that we call "training" resulting in complicated conditions for each binary decision).

In general I like the other bullet points, but I find it really bizarre they'd run with this one.

For fictional substances known to man, I would pick red matter (from Star Trek, a drop could turn a planet or star into a black hole) or Ice9 (from Cat's Cradle, a form of solid water that would turn all water in contact with it into Ice9). A very small mass of them is enough to kill all life in a planet.

I suppose the next one in the scale is grey matter, that with a bit more than a Kg could kill all life in the planet in the right conditions.

Thing is, if by 'they' you mean processed foods, you are basically right.

A little bit of sugar that you add to a coffee or whatever won't kill you. The problem is that just about all the processed food available has been spiked with sugar.
A Web site profiting from thievery, writing articles about effects of that thievery? Will this backfire?

A typical pro-piracy talking point is "these big companies are evil, so you should feel justified taking their product without paying them money", but some of these stories have other explanations.

Especially when it comes to smaller victims, like independent writers and smaller businesses, who typically are already abused by bigger companies, the "pirates" (glamourizing term) can be seen as further abusing from a different direction. And (in cases of DRM and invasive legislation, etc.) the pirates help justify and enable further abuses from the big companies.
Not quite - youtube is not an emergency service, so should not be expected to act like an emergency service. However, the european cookie law says that opting-out should be as simple as opting in, and so the news website should be expected to have a one-click opt-out :P
I actually tried to respond to it but it was flagged before I finished typing. I have several comments in this thread that are critical of them.

I'm not defending their insults, but I take issue with you responding to them in an inflammatory way. It's not okay to stir someone into a temper, and then when they react badly, weaponize that against them.

Someone behaving badly in conversation is not license to treat them badly. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

My suggestion to you would be to flag insulting comments and move on rather than trying to be hurtful to someone who was hurtful to you. As a personal rule I try to respond respectfully or not at all. I don't always succeed at this. When I don't succeed I find I make an fool of myself and end up saying something dumb.

Honestly I think that's pretty much what happened here - your first comment in this thread has insulting undertones, the other commenter took the bait, and they came out not looking so good. You took advantage of their overreaction to further insult them, and in my eyes you look like a jerk and a bully. But I bet you don't treat people that way in general, and that it isn't compatible with how you see yourself and the reputation you'd like to cultivate.
Same, even though a lot of syntax is theoretically unnecessary, they chunk the code into patterns that help navigate the complexity.

Otherwise it's like improving the efficiency of a closet by ripping out the shelves, drawers, dividers, coat hangers, etc... so that it's just one big volume-maximized empty room.

Money is one of the most powerful tools for enabling cooperation ever devised, perhaps only rivaled by spoken and written language.

Like all tools, mass cooperation through money is a double edged sword. It's behind every war, every genocide, every enslavement. It's also behind every medical treatment, every piece of food in the grocery store, every act of emergency aid.

Without money, yes, we wouldn't have large scale devastation and consciously inflicted suffering. But we would also all still be living in huts and caves regularly dying of dysentery and starvation and would be lucky to see 2-3 of our 12 children make it to adulthood.

It's a perfectly reasonable proposal, unless you are living next to where a fourplex is being built, and you're worried about "those people" moving in nearby, where "those people" are either "poor" or "not white," depending on how much honest the NIMBY protestors are being.

There are empty lots around the corner from me, and I hope they build as much housing on them as possible.

President López Obrador made it a personal mission to cancel the Texcoco (NAIM) airport, which was going to cost a billion dollars, but be first-class for a city that urgently needs better airport infrastructure.

López Obrador cancelled with a public poll, sidestepping the INE, the electoral institute in charge of democratic polls, curiously the same institute he's trying to capture this year. The poll was called "Mexico decides", but only 1% of the registered electors voted, and the voting booths were disproportionately installed in territories favorable to López. The airport was cancelled as a result.

The cancellation of the NAIM broke contracts which had to be paid, so it still cost the same as it had been constructed. López immediately switched construction to Santa Lucía (AIFA), a small military base incapable of supporting an international airport, gave profitable contracts to the army and his collaborators, and as of now, we have a toy airport which has cost 2-3 times what the NAIM would.

This restoration project seems aimed to destroy what remains of the NAIM, in case the next president tries to recover it in 2024. I'm sure it will siphon a lot of money, just like the other presidential projects in progress.
