As an adult I recognize now I was hopelessly addicted to computers as a child, and I wasn’t just playing games and talking to friends on AIM or ICQ, I was figuring out how things worked, experimenting with viruses, trying to understand HTML source code, even trying to make my own games.

As a result, I didn’t really develop like a normal child. I developed little to no empathy, and a worldview where I considered almost everyone around me some kind of moron. My estimation of a person’s worth became directly correlated to how much they knew about technology. Most computer laws were written by idiots and had no good reason to exist, etc…

The difference between me and these social media addicted kids today is that my addiction never led me spiralling into a mentally unhealthy depression – it led me head first into an extremely lucrative career that made me incredible amounts of money and reaffirmed my beliefs in myself and the world.

For most of these kids today though, social media will never lead them to fame and riches, they will never look in the mirror and see themselves look better than what they see in filtered photos of their life. They will spend all their life chasing some ideal that can never be reached, and by the time they realize that, they will look back on all the shallow wasted years of their life and become depressed, they will have no choice but to resign themselves to a shittier life than they imagined.
My Beef with Mailing Lists
For a _power failure_, yes! It was actually a pretty wild failure.

They had a litreal Derecho blow through, and it knocked some neighboring power lines down (that weren't attached to the datacenter) against their outdoor switch gear. This caused power that wasn't supposed to be there to be fed into their feeds and blew out some transfer switch gear.

Their main feeds are actually underground, but never did they think other powerlines hitting their equipment would be an issue. They've since encaged all of their switchgear with an approved grounded metal fence.
When used to that level or a level slightly below it.
Oh yes this is hard... When the kid has a strong opinion, raises voice or just tries to lure you into a discussion or fight. That's the moment where the parent is easily tricked.

Staying calm in such a moment can do wonders and de-escalate, but it's hard, especially when I'm tired and need a moment of quiet :)

But 'the market' for housing is completely broken. The completely unattainable housing in wealthy productive places is a policy choice, not some law of nature.

I mean, yeah, they're not going to be the cheapest places ever, but there could be a lot more housing if we allowed it to be built.
It would be if federal budgets were determined by the allocations people indicated on their tax filings. But that would be a mess if unrestricted.

There are millions of type 1 diabetics who meticulously monitor their blood glucose levels that would disagree with this.

There may be some Pavlovian response to artificial sweeteners and insulin secretion (which would be blunted in T1 diabetics) but it's incredibly minor compared to actual carbohydrates.
OSM was probably not a great example on second thought. This all happened over a decade ago and sounds like it’s uncharacteristic of the community. Edits I’ve done recently are fine. I’m probably projecting an ancient anecdote onto an entire community which is not fair.
Of course, young families with kids migrating out of cities (but often not the broader metro area) is a trend that's been happening pretty much forever. Of my cohort of grad school classmates who moved to NYC upon graduation, I'm guessing only a couple were still actually in the city a decade later.

As you say, the increase in some urban populations relative to a couple decades ago was mostly driven by new college grads, many of whom previously did not live in the city after undergrad, in part, because many of the jobs that weren't in finance were out in the suburbs/exurbs.

> Redpanda end-to-end latency of their 1 GB/s benchmark increased by a large amount once the brokers reached their data retention limit and started deleting segment files. Current benchmarks are based on empty drive performance.

This seems really disingenuous to use empty drive performance, since anyone who cares about performance is going to be caring about continuous use.
How many European mountain towns have you visited? All the ones that I know have a shortage of housing for service workers.
My understanding is that it could, but these machines take a really long time to build. Probably a simplification, but it’s likely not unfair to say that by the time they scaled 3nm production, we’d already have moved on to 2nm, etc

Asianometry YouTube channel did a few really good videos on chip fabbing and the unique challenges. Scale is addressed IIRC. Highly recommend.
Agreed - aspartame tastes like corroded metal smells.

I think that the problem is that for some, the obvious Occam's razor is that "smartphone is the cause. obviously" and for some "smartphone is a confounding effect of a deeper cause, obviously".

Because it is like that, I would say both of these conclusions is not scientifically acceptable: the fact that some people believe that "obviously it's not the case" is enough to demonstrate that it is in reality not obvious.

It does not mean it is impossible in social science to define causation: it is done in a lot of place, where there is a majority consensus on what is "obvious". The fact that this happened does not mean that you can conclude causation on everything you want.
I find Mainland Chinese cake to be incredibly sweet, way too sweet for me, and I don't think this is just a mainland baker phenomena. Sponge cake with whip cream can hardly be healthy for you.
my mom is 62 and has started taking her ipad to bed every night, it's definitely affecting her sleep and health and she resists any suggestion that it is bad for her. When I was growing up, she didn't even want a TV in the house.
That's harsh. I cringe to think I was ever a teenager.
Wow yeah I think you're really onto something here. No one actually wants the creepiness from Echo or Alexa etc. That's what prevented me from trying any Home Assistant thing before, but I know it could be very useful if actually sensitive to privacy-concerns.

Best of luck with the development! I'll definitely be following closely. Do you sell the pre-built hardware yourself?
Yes, that's right, those large and strong herbivores are a great source of protein.
My understanding is that the overall body of research suggests that artificial sweeteners don't cause additional calorie consumption. Given that is true (and leaving aside the much-studied question of other health risks from artificial sweeteners), it seems impossible that replacing some free sugars with NSS would not be beneficial for someone trying to increase calorie deficit and lose weight.

Think it's one of these things where the expected effect size is small and the measured output is multicausal, so observational studies simply won't be powerful enough to observe any real impact.

“NSS are not essential dietary factors and have no nutritional value. People should reduce the sweetness of the diet altogether, starting early in life, to improve their health.” The classic public health advice: "Be More Virtuous." Correct, but not always maximally practical.
> While that is true of general day-to-day speech or vernacular (vocal), that fails with regards to anything that is reasonably technical, or written, and making a comparison between the two overgeneralizes and is apples to oranges. Both are flawed ways of thought.

You're wrong. Words, even written and technically defined, change meaning over time. Your standard of clear cut and unchanging vocabulary definitions is unrealistic. This change is not corruption, it's natural and inevitable.

If you wanna die on this hill, by all means. You won't change reality and you will create enormous amounts of stress for yourself. Godspeed.
All the really nice places to live are becoming so expensive

Doesn't need to be this way either. We've come up with a number of ways to lower real estate prices on this very board that simply aren't being implemented by local communities. I have to believe that 2024 is going to be a massive turning point for a lot of US cities.
> people who consumed NSS would end-up on their own accord, eating additionally

(Note: this comment is not disagreeing with the parent)

In my opinion, studies like these (and especially the pop "science" articles that package them into clickbait) are flawed because:

1. They summarize and basically take a mean across an entire population (see quote above for an example), which means a wide spectrum of behavior patterns are being reduced to "people do xxxxx" which is obviously not universally true. Some people will do something, and others won't. This study assumes you're not in control enough or smart enough to NOT do that unproductive behavior when trying to lose weight. I know it's a cliché that everyone assumes they're smarter than normal people, but, surely some are, right?

2. The "People will just xxxxxx" line -- that basically crosses right into psychology, which... some people would say is the least objective 'science.'

I mean, people can go right ahead and convince themselves that switching to literal sugar will be a positive effect on the body. I'll just keep drinking diet soda, which has also eliminated tooth decay as a serious concern in my life since I switched.

Bob's personal life comes up because this story was originally spun as representing how bad San Francisco was, where a tech guy could be randomly murdered.

But it turns out that this wasn't the story at all. The guy led a rather dramatic life, and his murder wasn't random at all.

It's unfortunate that this leads to news outlets going out of their way to be salacious. It's not really much of an "apology" for the news outlets to try to correct their previous interpretation of the story. But it's also true that, sadly, many people will keep repeating a version of the story that affirms their preconceptions, and it's not entirely wrong to keep contradicting that.
I agree with Confluent pricing, we had the same experience. We switched to pub/sub and Azure Event hubs.

I don't even understand why Confluent should price their offering so high. ITs not like Real time is an exclusive service that other platforms don't have.
Most states have income tax too. CA's is 13%.
I've tried to google the person you replied to, and it they seem to have many social/online media profiles that allow direct contacting. In that case I think publicly reaching out isn't the best way to go and seems out of place, imo.
> but maybe a way to get teenagers not wanting a smartphone is to make it not a instrument of dopamine rush but a bringer of sadness

One doesn't exclude the other.

I was mortified seeing my relatives demonstrate how they track their children's every movement in real time as well as limit their phone usage.

All without much effect because they themselves are glued to their devices.

It's really a question of setting an example and I wouldn't be surprised if part of the reason all those children received phones so early was to make them stop demanding attention so that their parents could look at screens.
So you are saying dieting does not work? Reducing calories is not the path to weight loss?
"give children the ability to see everyone who is smarter than they are, prettier than they are, and so on."

It's not just them seeing it, but everyone else too. I think with the advances in media, everyone is comparing themselves and others to these higher benchmarks. Expectations seem to be incredibly skewed these days. It feels like people expect me to be some expert dev wizard who is rich, witty, has abs, and an 8" done. Sorry, we don't live in a movie...
It’s where they _were_ before the pandemic. All the way out to Leander costs princely sums for cookie cutter suburbs these days.

I doubt Dell have adjusted their pay to accommodate that.
To me, it was a little disconcerting, like "we've stopped receiving these things too much, people got the message, and now we're receiving other things too much, but aren't going to update this to tell you what they are, and are leaving it for posterity."

Maybe there aren't new overdone stories, people see the list and stop. But that seems unlikely to me. In either case, it would be nice if there was a list that was updated, or some statement about things being better.

I see, the objection is specifically levelled at the mystic side of what he's saying. That's fair.
Only the early middle ages were actually the "dark ages" (roughly 500AD to 1000AD, I think). They are called that only because of the relative lack of written material we have from that time.
That tweet doesn't reflect my experience at all actually, in Europe at least. I know it's an anecdote but I know many fit people that drink frequently Diet Coke or Coke Zero. Is this a US thing?

There's a misunderstanding here, you're asking about medical tests from the perspective of a doctor diagnosing their patient in the office. I am talking about doctors/researchers assessing the existence of ADHD through medical test studies, brain scans, and so on. Hopefully in the future as this continues we're able to make this more widely available.
Don't think it's particularly creepy and I did send one like you asked, but my email is in my GitHub anyway and not particularly hard to find.

A crazy number of these items seem like incel fan fics. I wonder how many crazy people send in stories about their fantasies?
> you could simply give your kid a “dumb phone” for emergency use.

I think you got it backwards, the emergency case is just the -excuse- parents use.

In reality, it is about social pressure, not emergency use, all the other kids have phones, why can't I? Real phones, with apps and games and shit.

FFS most parents will shove up an iDevice to their toddlers so they can play angry birds or whatever instead of caring for them more actively.

Caloric scale was invented in the 19th century to measure the energy of fuels in a furnace.

Human body is not a furnace. Human body is a complex chain of cascading chemical reactions. When you eat sugar, an instruction is sent to the liver to produce Insulin in the blood. Insulin is the fat storage hormone, it signals to fat cells that they should absorb sugars from the blood stream.

Mountains of research show that, just as sweeteners trigger a sugar-like chemical reaction in your mouth, they also trigger that same reaction in your liver.
good for them tbh, despite their weird sides they do get some peculiar aspects of life right
You mean Claude bot in general? For me, yes, I use it daily, and comparing to GPT, it answers more quickly, more friendly and in general it is less woke. I use gpt-4 as a fallback, when I need more reasoning capabilities, there GPT-4 is better. To sum it up, if you find GPT-3.5&4 useful, then yes, Claude is useful as well.
Ouch. I think there's still plenty of post-70s punk that's counter-culture (see, for example, Leftover Crack), but I think you're right in that "pop punk" definitely dulled the edge of the genre in general.
The easiest way to find out is to follow the money and find out who (no pun intended) funded the study.

I guess you could have a script keep a long lived ssh deamon and do this

Thank you for the clarification. I always try to assume the best on comments like yours and I'm rarely disappointed.
Yeah, and also not even an insightful joke. I mean, isn't Taylor Swift, notable thin pretty human, a famous Diet Coke fan? That's just the first person who comes to mind. Also half the people I know, as well.
Authoritarianism is the path of least resistance, no how-to manual required. Democracy requires constant care and course correction or it slowly trends towards authoritarianism. Unfortunately "constant care and course correction" equates to people getting out, voting, participating in their state and local governments, etc. Most people don't like to think about that stuff so they just leave it to others.

I'm sure there's some underlying universal principle related to entropy. You see the same with code bases. Unless you are diligent about caring for and correcting things, every large code base will eventually become a steaming pile of tech debt after a few decades.
I think I misunderstood what you’re trying to do, in that case. This is a pattern for how to handle state updates, rather than a framework that happens to not have any code.
They care. That's exactly why they are thinking about the problems that having a smart phone would have. You are just drawing the line differently to others.

There's a whole range of solutions. From no smartphone to letting them have a smart phone but lock it down. All have reasonable points and show strong involvement in their child's lives.
Home Counties accent perhaps.
Good call, I didn't think to do that - thanks
There are a lot of policy issues where it feels like it's difficult to get anything done. Housing is one where ordinary people can make a real difference - and are. So much of this is at a local or state level where a small, dedicated group can really change the conversation.

It's also an issue where the "ideological sorting hat" hasn't lumped it into a partisan category, yet. Montana just passed a bipartisan housing deal that's really good: https://www.sightline.org/2023/05/09/montanas-big-bipartisan...

Groups like https://yimbyaction.org/2021/ and https://welcomingneighbors.us/ are a great way to get involved.
That is part of the problem. That some people believe that getting laid and following through with the consequences is actually an acomplishment. It is not, it is how nature works. Once that is done, the work actually starts, and it starts to become relevant what sort of human you are. How much you know, frankly, how intelligent you are.

Besides, since you seem to love to trigger me with just the "right" sentences:

Would you rather her have not done this for you?

Yes, now that you ask, I would have prefered if she didn't do that. Why that is is a bit too complicated to pack into a single reply. Just dont assume that your way of seeing things works for others.
There was a mirror at https://kidneybone.com/c2/wiki/ without the SPA stuff, but that seems to be 503'd right now. (And even if it wasn't, I don't think it has a root page; you'd need to type in one of the page URLs manually.)
I started with Spacemacs as my intro to Emacs (coming from VS Code, learning both Vim keybinds and getting the power of Emacs was very intriguing), and I think Spacemacs is much better for total beginners. I eventually felt comfortable enough to move to Doom Emacs and start writing my own config additions, which Doom is much better for imo.
> the opposite of using mouthwash, for example, which makes you want to eat nothing more

.. sorry to be stupid for a second. Is this due to the taste? Or is there a known side effect of some types of mouthwash that inhibit hunger?

I've never noticed anything, hence the question. I'd eat right after with no issue basically, but i don't because it's bad for your teeth to my understanding.

On the other hand we have had a bunch of demo prototyping APIs built that ultimately weren't adopted as the client needs changed, and because they were built with Lambdas, it essentially cost nothing to run them. While having servers run for a couple of years before they admitted that priorities had changed and they weren't going to use it but could we built them something else would have had a cost attached to it.

Cloud was cheap in this scenario.

Planning, determining your usecase, workload, and you can usually get a good idea for cost comparison.
Especially if you have PBs of data storage costs, data centres or even having local hosting can slash costs.

People are usually pretty bad with risk/cost management.
This assumes that small towns that have shrinking and aging populations are more desirable to live in than cities for the sole purpose that housing is cheaper. Cities have large advantages like proximity to other jobs should it be lost, services, better schools, better restaurants, more people your age you can hang out with.
I've also then seen the stevia-sweetened products advertised as "No added sugar and no artificial sweeteners", which is infuriating when searching for unsweetened (or under-sweetened) products.
