> What is the proper way to handle a future legislature

by force (ala an invasion), or by not ever dealing with said country again.

A populous wanting to change their mind is not a reason to invalidate a treaty unilaterally - this sort of behaviour should be frowned upon. The process should be to renegotiate a new treaty that all parties to the treaty agree to.
I am completely skeptical of this report.

Occam's razor suggests that when states that are actively at war with their teachers "magically" buck the statistical learning trends from everywhere else, the statistics are more likely to be falsified than the students improved so dramatically.

Especially when I see: "The states have consequences in place if schools don’t teach kids how to read, but also offer help to keep kids on track." The schools WILL pass those statistical measures someway, somehow if it means that the school loses funding or people lose their jobs.
I remember my first difficult project as a consultant. We were missing every deadline due to sprint timetables and stress. The client was basically letting us go while we migrated to Angular but wanted to keep maintaining Ember code while this all happened. I was charged with managing the Ember code and was essentially removed from the sprint cycle. I flourished and have fought to stay out of the sprint cycle ever since. :P
Though a certain amount of lean loss is inevitable with significant weight reduction (usually about 25% of total weight loss), the goal is to increase the body’s overall proportion of lean mass – in other words, to improve body composition.

lean loss does not mean muscle loss

Title: "It's not survivorship bias"

Summary "...why some software projects find an audience and others don’t, with a focus on independent games."

Ok so let's focus on one small area where we've observed a vague semblance of a free market and then extrapolate that to the entire software industry and assume every other area works the same...

That's essentially the definition of survivorship bias.

It's quite ironic to choose the game industry as the proof for this particular conclusion when you consider that it's one of the very few areas of the software industry which doesn't lend itself to total monopolization. People like to play different games, they play for a while, then they want something new; it's difficult to monopolize the market with such novelty-seeking pattern of consumption. Unfortunately, most areas of software have very predictable consumption patterns (especially B2B) with ridiculous lock-in factors.

The only way some of the big software firms would lose their monopolies is if there is total societal collapse.

The KIM-1 was the Raspberry Pi of the late 1970s. I spent a lot of time using them in little automation projects while in college. There was no operating system involved at all; everything from the reset vector on up was my code.
if Vim had the very same problem for US keyboard layouts it would have never become the standard choice for "hackers" (e.g. in a parallel universe where Vim was created by a Japanese for Japanese keyboards), so yeah, in general hackers hate when their tools don't work out of the box, hackers expect the very basics of any tool to work out of the box, changing settings should be a step to accommodate it to your liking, not to fix basic functionality.
With all the recent twists and turns, I am increasingly unsure what the First Amendment is supposed to mean in the US.
You're not wrong about the poor default keybindings. When the effort to fix it on your part is probably less than all the time you've spent complaining about it, chances are you really are not part of the intended user base.
Not the person you're replying to, but what helped me quit was the book "How to stop smoking" by Alan Carr. Highly recommend working through it and taking his point about cold turkey in good faith. Good luck!

> finances are most of the time just a roundabout way of trying to be happy

If you consider not dying a form of happiness, sure. Seems overly reductive to me.
You can certainly criticize a methodology for being difficult or impossible to follow.
I use Cmd+[ on MacOS to "go back" on multiple software like IntelliJ, emacs (I probably configured it) and Firefox, so I would say this is a pretty common combo. It's easy to remember, specially given that the mirror, "go forward", is Cmd+]. As I said, even though my first language is not English, I only write code in an English keyboard layout so I've never even considered that [ is "hard to press".

EDIT: the Dr Racket editor even lets you write Lisp using '[' and ']' because they don't require pressing shift like '(' and ')' so are easier to press.
That's pagination, not indexed page scanning. Both have their place but they're not the same. Pagination is way better to handle updates between page loads and generally more complicated to implement. As you're now doing head tail index cursor tracking. Flat boring offset/limit is amazingly simple for the happy lazy path which is probably fine for most apps.

Inertia, traditionalism, elitism, insider culture, ignorance, "good enough" mentality, blind spots, cargo culting, ...

There's really no mystery here. The reasons are the same as in every other part of society where outdated conventions are maintained despite massive, obvious problems. The phenomenon itself is as predictable as the arguments used by its defenders, mostly variations of "it works for me".

I've been pondering this for a moment and if I were to write an application for such a system I don't think I'd enjoy it. If you want to pass information from the kernel and bubble that all the way to the application to do something with it, I would think you now have to write signal handling in your application.

The same could be said even for interventions like "don't eat surplus calories" and "life weights". Once you stop, you don't get the benefits and you'll regress.

>This means people can live within walking distance to where they work and where they shop, so they do just that: walk through quiet streets, often surrounded with trees.

So they have quiet bars were people quietly get wasted and quietly walk home? Quiet trucks quietly unloading goods for the shops every morning? Quiet dumpster trucks quietly picking up commercial dumpsters and quietly flipping them over every night?

If we had these in the US I'd be fine with mixed zoning too. As of now I don't hear any noise from the two lane arterial street behind my backyard but I used to live in an apartment with a window roughly 500' away from a small bar (just a local watering hole in a strip mall, completely inside, not trendy at all) in a direct line of sight and I had to sleep with a white noise machine because of all the screaming the patrons produced walking out (or in?).
From an actual practicality sense, the whole setup doesn't make that much sense. You could drop the files on a static site host and it would use 0 watts while not in use and a negligible amount while in use.

Another interesting case would be to use an API to get your areas power generation stats and when the wholesale pricing is low due to solar/wind generation peaks, charge your battery off the grid.
You would think that with the incredible advances in chip power efficiency, they could produce an edition that would be able to be run off a solar cell instead of 2 stupid and expensive CR2032 batteries.

and... this person now takes these last-measure pills forever? or here in the real world, do they use the pills to lose weight, and then maintain that normal weight forever with... perhaps a diet trick that works?

people who have to take last-measure medication usually don't stop eating when they are full. i know, it's weird to tell someone who doesn't stop eating when they're full, how to still maintain weight if they... don't stop eating when they're full. i'm a weird guy with ADD and get side-tracked easily. I got an appointment with the florist about that next week, hopefully he can recommend a medication.

yes, a doctor will not tell you diet tricks. if you are asking your doctor for diet tricks, we need to step back a minute. when you're done grocery shopping at jiffy lube, drive home, sit down, and carefully read this link.

this is what a doctor is. a doctor will give you general health guidelines, but knows very little about diets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physician
I tried it with gpt 3.5 but it doesn't seem to know lojban so well. I asked it to translate the following in to Lojban, then separately after deleting that history I asked it to translate that to English. Here's what it did:

Original English: "I heard of the TinyStories research project that unlocked cognitive capabilities in LLMs with fewer parameters. I wonder if something similar would be possible with lojban?"

Lojban round trip English: "We interpret the use of the LLM as a way to confuse the knowledge from TinyStories.gy, which is greater than that from the experimental findings. I find it amusing to use Lojban instead. Does the ability to confuse the experimental findings also mean the ability to confuse Lojban?"
In theory they should be good for several thousand cycles, so -- a long time. As long as you don't overcharge them, drain them too low, or try to charge them in below freezing temperatures.

Also, they say that usually LFPs will last a bit longer if they're installed such that they're under a bit of sideways compression. I don't know why that is.
What changed and when?
Imagine the side effects of food passing through the gut without being broken down.

Reminds me of Olestra, the zero calorie oil substitute that failed because of similar sounding side effects. Olestra wasn't consumed/absorbed in the gut so you'd just shit out oil and your half digested food would glide out with it since it didn't block stomach emptying like real food.
It's even more suspicious to security layers to spoof the UA while keeping a different SSL handshake profile (or a different JA3 hash).
Really cool. Looks like it supports a good mix of emacs and vim bindings.
On the flip side, a lot of exploratory coding is often necessary to learn exactly what needs to be done. "Oh this API sometimes returns garbled garbage results, guess we need to write a sanitizer for its output" isn't something that is going to be known until at least some code is written.
Java is a general-purpose programming language that was created in the mid-1990s by James Gosling and his team at Sun Microsystems.

This can easily happen if you eat the wrong food and train your gut to prefer the wrong types of food.

Brew yourself some Saison.

You’ll get pepper flavors from the most boring grain bill and hop choices you’ve ever seen.

As you get further into brewing, and more expertise, you’ll end up caring more and more about yeast. If you’re chatting with pro brewers, usually if you’re there with a sanitized mason jar when they are harvesting yeast, they’ll give you some of their strain if it’s not something secret. Then end up with way more than they can use.

You can go down the rabbit hole trying to figure out what the best brewers use, like Trillium brewing. There are rumors but they sure won’t admit it, the yeast is the secret sauce, the hops are on the label.

Really like the idea of a tree-based browsing history. It is more in tune with the graph-traversal nature of browsing the internet, and could be extremely useful for people who conducts extensive reading or research on the internet. Honestly feel like this should be an option for more web browsers as an alternative to the 1D, flat structure of tabs.

> we don't have nearly enough judges, jury members or court capacity to give everyone the speedy trial with a jury of their peers.

Then perhaps we are arresting far too many people for things that don't matter?

If you remove low-level drug offenders from the system, suddenly there is a LOT more capacity.

Or, mentioning my earlier example, why the hell was a federal prosecutor gung ho to go after Aaron Swartz? Apparently there wasn't anything more important to be spending time on. That doesn't look like a very overloaded court system to me.

If the general public had to actually PAY for the justice system, perhaps they'd suddenly discover that they want it a lot smaller.
Vim style keybindings and navigation is massively overhyped as is vim itself.

That is of course more correct :) But the first step is building intuition about what and how you’re eating!
Ha, true! But also interesting, how differently we work. I switch to national keyboard layout only when I have to write an email/chat message with my compatriots or maybe a document that needs those national characters. Otherwise, I just use US layout for everything. Like 99% of time I'm on US layout. It makes much more sense when programming (not just brackets, but also quotes, colons/semicolons, slashes, backticks, etc.), which is my primary use of computers.
I mean... sorta? Yes, it is the point. But, the goal is to make it so that you can do this scale up/down at the VM level. We have been able to do this at a thread or even process level for a long long time, at this point.

Honestly, as a fellow QWERTZ-native, QWERTZ is generally a terrible layout for doing any programming in languages that go beyond round brackets. Instead have all these umlauts you rarely need, even in normal writing, right there - just a bad tradeoff.

One might even argue that it's terrible for some other keyboard shortcuts, as they stop making sense: E.g., when Ctrl+Z is undo and Ctrl+X is redo, that makes perfect sense on QWERTY, but is hard to grasp on QWERTZ. Yet this is seemingly never customized/"translated", even in software that customizes other shortcuts (e.g., in word processing).

So, long story short, do yourselves a favor and don't use QWERTZ for serious computer use ;-)
Obesity is often a chronic medical condition that’s not solely controllable by willpower. There is no difference between taking pills for treating obesity as a chronic condition vs any other chronic condition, like type 1 diabetes. Decades of treating obesity as a personal failing have resulted in worse and unsustainable health outcomes.

And again, you are being far too presumptuous about OP’s interventions. And I certainly don’t know what this business about ADD appointments at the florist or grocery shopping at Jiffy Lube you’re talking about is.
It's a long story. That solar plant was basically a UPS because the neighborhood where I bought a house had terrible power, and yes, they were just for the server. The root cause of the power problem was a 50-year old 4kV "last mile" which was finally upgraded to 16kV a few years before I took down the system. Power there is great right now, but maybe not for much longer because California keeps shutting down power plants. The NG plant less than a mile away will be gone next year. San Onofre is gone now too (https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/story/2022-08-...). I hope to sell the place in CA soon.

I now have another house elsewhere with 4kW of solar on the roof. I would add more, but for two reasons:

1) There might be enough space up on the roof for another 2-3kW, but it's close.

2) The local laws governing grid-tie are such that I can't just add more panels. I can put up another separate system, but with a separate meter. I'm concerned that two separate systems on the same grid point trying to sync to the grid may have problems where they interfere with each other. I have read about such problems.
To pile on other popular theories on smoking guns, there is a widespread decrease in physical activity levels. Physical activity can delay or prevent type 2 diabetes, as well as having widespread benefits on almost every system of the body. Physical activity also improves mental health, which impacts some behaviors around emotional/addiction driven over eating.

Why do comments like this always ignore the obvious solution of using an IDE like code with a vim plugin. And yes that's more efficient.
That’s a good point, but I think python will be much more feasible because of operator overloading:

(x+y)*z/3

vs

x.add(y).mul(z).div(3)

And that’s just a really simple example.

I’m also hopeful that pythons new variadic generic types make progress here in python.
