Yes. On a compounded semaglutide. I can finally control my hunger and a nice unexpected effect has been losing a desire to drink large quantities of alcohol. I don’t drink during the week anyway, but it seems to be the volume that turns me off to drinking. Thus a few cocktails are all I can tolerate. For context, Im 30, male, would be defined as a binge drinker on weekends. Oh, and I’ve given up nicotine entirely. I can’t tell if the drug is helping or it was just a point in my life that I finally decided I accept it makes me feel ill most of the time.
I mean, you're looking at it, but you said it was too much hacker.
You’re growing food in a valley with amazing soil and great weather. Seems pretty smart to divert water to grow crops rather than letting the water just run into the ocean?
There is a lot of middle ground between game industry 80 hour crunch mode and doing “maybe 20% a week of my total”

Honestly, working on a team where people refuse to do anything more than the bare minimum to fool management each week kind of sucks for everyone else. Everyone else eventually leaves for teams that have a healthier work balance. Extremes are bad in both directions.

> I have been through the stress. ESPECIALLY in the games industry where a specific corner/corner collision had me crying and wished I was dead coz it was on me. I solved it, I got nothing.

I get it. You went through an abusive work relationship. That doesn’t mean you now need to become bitter about every job. (Same applies to relationships, FWIW, some people to though an abusive personal relationship and then proceed to sabotage all of their future relationships so they can avoid the feeling of being taken advantage of. It’s not healthy)
Damn it rounded up PI
> shows that human factors such as having clear goals for projects and feeling psychologically safe on a team have a substantial impact on developers' performance

I for one am _shocked_ at this profound revelation.

Sarcasm aside, I sure hope this isn’t a shock to anyone in any sort of position to enact these changes.
To be fair, we really don't know what would have happened if the entire financial system collapsed in 2008.

This was the Faustian bargain we made. For us, I think it would be hard to argue this was a raw deal as opposed to living the last 15 years dealing with a depression or who knows what.

Once on this path we will just keep kicking the can down the road and let the unborn pay of it eventually.
Yeah, they grow.
I have done this before, which is pretty simple because ssh is basically always available:

ssh -R \*:8080:localhost:80 -N root@example.com
Are you at odds with basic addition or something? We are pumping out the aquifers faster than they recharge. Basic math lets you calculate that they will run out in a few decades.

The aquifers are left over from the ice age. Once depleted, the aquifer will take over 6,000 years to replenish naturally through rainfall.
The priorities at that point would probably be stopping any terrorist threat before protecting endangered birds.
Three.js works just fine with functions like `.add`, it sure is ugly though. It kind of blows the mind that javascript has had so many syntactic additions over the years but still has no operator overloading.
The iPhone was released.

BTC isn't even a good comparison in this case. We can talk about its intentions endlessly, but the fact of the matter is that you can buy some actually useful stuff with it at the end of the day (pornography, VPN services, domain names, computer and electrical equipment from NewEgg, etc), pay state taxes with it in Colorado (and taxes in the Swiss canton of Zug), and it has even gained legal tender status in some countries.

Generative AI and stuff like that will be much easier to judge the success or failure of. If we are ripping our hair out when contacting customer support 15 years from now (roughly the amount of time Bitcoin has existed), generative AI (I assume that's what you're talking about) for the purposes of customer support is a failure. Beyond that, sophisticated generative AI is the digital equivalent of discovering nuclear fission: it destroys online human discourse and pollutes the areas it infects with artificial garbage (fallout). I know I'm not the only one who's sick of seeing DALL-E stuff on Instagram and DeviantArt, and seeing stuff obviously written by LLMs in internet comment sections.
Double shot keys?
Yeah, MUCH better now.
(Discuss) Updating status to organ donor, my sincerest advice.
TL;Dr
A friend whome struggled with depression from a young age was injured severly, I helped save him. later in life we ended up as neighbors.. after a falling out due to his mental health and loss of job and domestic situations. He made good on his threats only after sending me a hate-filled text.

Another individual I grew up around moved into the neighborhood as well and was attempting to commit the act even stated you probably don't want to be here for this nothing I could say was going to sway him.. So I called in some persistent friends to intervene successfully..

When the news about our mutual friend and neighbor broke he confided to me that he had encouraged him to take his own life (clearly in a state of disbelief and guilt)

All I could say was man you don't encourage people to commit no matter what factors that lead you to escalate it to fruition.

Friend one saved..
Friend two saved..
Friend two encourages friend one successfully to un alive himself..
Friend two live streams his second attempt.. paramedics resuscitate him... should have been an organ donor. Now he is a living breathing burden that can't speak move or eat.
I couldn't help them in end. If both of them had been organ donors they could have helped give multiple people a fighting chance at life albeit at cost. I may need a kidney soon and my sister received a kidney after 13 years waiting in total renal failure.. Tl;Dr life is precious what better gift can you give?】
Republic means not having a monarch. The US is a representative democracy. So is the United Kingdom, but they are a monarchy.
That’s crunching numbers for sure
the genetics of obesity are amazing.
we all have a unique combination of genes, and epigenic features that influece the endocrine and neuronal pathways that drive the desire to eat, these different genotypes affect our behaviour. Ozempic is putting a thumb on the scales of this pathway, but this pathway is balanced differently in all of us.
Think of the most hungry you have ever been, in some people this never stops, in others it's dialed up or down.

there are some great papers on fat labradors that hint at how these different genotypes are linked to our desire to eat and how that shifts our behaiour.
Guide dogs are highly selected for trainability, and positive reinforcement with food reward plays an important role in their training.
I think it was Yeo, found 22% of pet Labradors and 80% of Labrador guide dogs sampled carried a 14 BP deletion in the POMC gene, which forms part of this pathway.

The same effects took place in mobile phones. They removed physical and capacitive buttons then promoted the new looks as sleek minimalism while reducing cost and rasing prices.

The difference that you're hinting at though is called human factors in design. For a mobile phone the all touch model is workable. In cars it ignores the key needs like safety and consistency which are different from phones.
Sorry this was a poorly worded question. Because exchange rate and taxes buying a macbook in Argentina is insanely expensive. I was hoping the community here would share how they've done it (not actually find someone to carry a laptop for me).
A lot to digest there. Awesome stuff. Well done!
Presumably this allows them to change the confidence statistics for logins, so that, e.g., SMS 2F is considered more likely to be an attacker. SMS 2F from a different location to a previous certificate/FIDO2 login might be denied or alerted.

Also, they’re trying to force people into using the Microsoft Authenticator, which is an active telemetry collector, vs e.g. Google Authenticator, which is 100% offline and TOTP only.
How is it for weight loss?
I want to float a rule that I wish more critics could embrace:

When judging art, also ask yourself, “how well did this achieve the goals it set out to achieve?”

Too regularly I see critics set their own bar to measure something with. But a good critic knows that both Gordon Ramsay and Ronald McDonald are great at what they do. Is the Mario Movie a good movie? Well, what was it trying to be? Was it that?
My 2001 is definitely the sweet spot. A double DIN standard radio slot so I can keep up with the latest features in infotainment and GPS, but purely mechanical interactions for literally everything else.
Ask HN: What do you use to track visitors on your blog?
I recently reanimated my blog and I would like to add analytics to it. I don't want to mess with user contents, are there any free alternatives to GA that one can use?
What I did was systematically dig out the dandelions and amend the soil with mulch, digging down a shovel length or more and screening the soil to remove all the rocks (and adding more mulch to make up for the volume lost from removing the stones).

Since then we've gotten compost from the township and raked it over the lawn to fill in low spots, and I'd like to think that allow over two decades of grass clippings to mulch in have helped as well.

I also allow the grass around the edges to grow long and cut it by hand w/ clippers, spreading it for birds to make nests of.

Garden areas are my wife's problem.
You can have this mindset all you want, but if your end goal is to stop the shit in the elevator, it clearly hasn't gotten us anywhere.
Huh? Google Maps predates Google Earth and neither really relate to MS Flight SIM.
So in New York do you have to pay a toll for each and every road, if not then its a good example.
This is perhaps the most interesting aspect of the project--using a code generator to escape the gravitational pull of CUDA. I wonder how well it would generalize to other targets.
This is a wild story, let us know if Telegram reaches out for any updates on this. I used to really like Telegram, but this makes me rethink it.
As an anecdote: at my worst (when I was clearly suicidal, insomniac and emotionally unstable) I was on antidepressants (Prozac) and it helped me a lot. It made me very emotionally stable. I got off Prozac after a couple years to try it out and I felt much better. Over that year, I started feeling similarly terrible due to COVID world. Went back to Prozac. Once again made me very stable. Stopped using Prozac in mid 2022, again to see if I feel good without it. Since then have been feeling much, much better. Of course, mental health is a constant battle, you fight one day at a time, but I consider my depression as close to "cured" as possible because over the last year I felt pretty normal without any drugs.

Things to note are, along the way I stopped drinking alcohol which helped me tons. Before 2020 I was a huge drinker (not alcoholic, but every day heavy drinker). Initially, I started smoking weed. This helped a ton because I stopped drinking completely, but I wasn't getting very high every day and I thought THC helped quite a bit too. Eventually, in late 2022 I stopped using THC too. I'm completely drug free now. I believe that both Prozac and THC helped me significantly to get out of depression. In addition to drugs, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), therapy in general and getting a cat has been extremely helpful as well.

This is just an anecdote, every brain is different. Never self medicate, see a doctor and a therapist!
I'd hazard a guess that nicotine is one of the two or three most addictive substances known to humanity. Opiates/heroin is probably worse, world of warcraft is probably third :-)

The drug probably helped.
An app submission is a specific version of an app: 1.0 or 2.0 or whatever number the developer gives it. As I said, "Every update to every app has to be reviewed." There can be 4,422,219 app submission approvals for only 1,783,232 apps in the store because many apps have multiple software updates per year. Some apps seem to update every week...
Who has better data, may I ask?

I'd love to know because I've been looking for several years
Isn’t it? In what way?

I was just about to buy one but I still have my original 15c and thought it would be good to get a new one.
I think it's a little more than that, if you include other staff not in their Cork campus.

Also important: Enterprise Ireland (EI, the ones doing most of the work on turnkey tax-minimization) is a semi-private company, and is graded based on business development, and not tax revenue.
I'm not great at shell scripting tbh. It's not a coincidence that I built a cloud scripting platform
Cool stuff. We all need to escape the oligopoly of Chrome and Safari. Consider making a build for Android and consider inserting a JS polyfill layer that could stub any weird API with an extension, without rebuilding the browser (side effect: it's an ultimate adblock solution).
Sometimes they were also made harder so it couldn't be beaten on a rental encouraging you to buy the game.
Deleting your comment instead of owning your mistake is a bad look
"Today, many organizations aiming to improve developer productivity are finding that a new developer-centric approach focused on developer experience (also known as DevEx) unlocks valuable insights and opportunities."

That reads like the beginning of a pitch on r/Metaverse_Blockchain.

One of the references, "What Happens When Software Developers are (un)Happy"[1] is more useful.

I don't think I'll spend the time to memorize the part for the anchor days, but the observation that March 0, 4/4, 6/6, 8/8, 10/10, 12/12 all land on the same day will definitely come in handy.
Playing the new Gran Turismo on the PSVR2 setup makes me think this isn't as far off as it feels. Surprisingly immersive game.
Well duh, if you discuss the side effects with patients, they won't take the drug and the drug people won't send you hookers.
If they did a 16C, I would definitely buy one.
> To begin with, when n is exactly 2^k-1, I would expect all the functions to show k comparisons, including Skarupke's. In the plot, all the curves overlap at 64, 127 and 255 except Skarupke's which is off by 1.

I'm afraid you misread the plot, although I admit it is hard to see. All the curves overlap at 31, 63, 127, etc, except Skarupke's. This is the raw data: https://gist.github.com/orlp/782369f5c047447bbaa924c13bdc6b3...

The reason Skarupke's method is less efficient is because it does not take into account that the optimal size for binary search is 2^k - 1, so it is comparing at powers of two. This causes it to need an extra comparison, note the final line of the algorithm:

return begin + comp(*begin, value);

None of my methods have this extra comparison at the end. For simplicity, let's analyze n = 7 for Skarupke's method:

size_t step = bit_floor(length); // step = 4

// First comparison.
if (step != length && comp(begin[step], value)) {
// For simplicity, let's assume the comparison fails.
}

// Second comparison.
step /= 2; // step = 2
if (comp(begin[step], value)) begin += step;

// Third comparison.
step /= 2; // step = 1
if (comp(begin[step], value)) begin += step;

step /= 2; // step = 0, break loop

// Four comparison.
return begin + comp(*begin, value);

Oops, that's four comparisons instead of the optimal three.
One thing is that it is pretty easy to get started with transit by running buses. They can use existing roads, which means they are as slow as traffic. They are flexible. They have a bad reputation in US but that is partly from bad service.

Rail is expensive and the US is bad at building it. But it has huge capacity.

The expense with roads comes in the maintenance and growth. Growth farther out means congestion which means adding new lanes. Transit helps with downsizing roads and reducing wear.
In other words, you're extrinsically motivated. Possibly an excess of rewards and punishments in the past has burned you out and destroyed your intrinsic motivation, as extrinsic motivators are known to do. Your final paragraph makes it sound that way.

For knowledge work, though, the best work is done by people who are intrinsically motivated. Rewards (like a life-altering kickback) don't actually elevate performance that much. Instead, they become the new baseline, and performance falls once again. Alfie Kohn talks about a study in his book, "Punished by Rewards," where kindergartners who received a reward for coloring—something they normally intrinsically enjoyed!—spent less time coloring than those who didn't.

I guess what I'm saying is that you sound burned out, and you might be happier if you chased work you loved rather than a fat cheque.

As for me, I'd rather hire people who are intrinsically motivated and pay them fairly. People can tell when their coworkers aren't engaged. It spoils the culture of the whole team.
webauthn can very much be used in a desktop application, you're just losing the phishing resistance factor, as the application can choose what to send as identifier, which includes collecting tokens for other tools/websites.
Currently only a hobbyist but so far I really enjoy using Supabase and have appreciated the generous free tier. Maybe some day, if I'm lucky, I'll prioritize my projects further and pursue monetization. It would be a great personal development if I needed to graduate to the paid tier.

Anyways, thank you. Supabase isn't perfect but it's pretty damn good.
> Also Control/Command C, X, and V are impossible to do with one hand while holding your mouse unless you remap keys or create macros.

Disagree, I do this easily without macros. One important thing is that in Dvorak, I find myself using Right Ctrl much more heavily than QWERTY; I have to use Right Ctrl (using left thumb or index finger) for C and V (using left pinky) for maximum ergonomics. Unfortunately, some laptop and/or mechanical keyboards think it's fashionable to omit keys such as Right Control, and I flat out refuse to buy them because they're so hostile to my typing needs.
Remember where I said, "(Incidentally, I don't spend the majority of my waking hours at work)." Yeah, I was talking about myself, as indicated by the word "I". So I'm not sure why you decided to "examine" my claim from the perspective of what most people do when that wasn't what I said, and then decided to include a bunch of things that aren't work as work.

> I’m not here to say that people absolutely must make friends at work, but implying that it’s somehow unhealthy or bad is just incredibly out of touch with how majority of adults live

And I'm not here to say it's somehow unhealthy or bad. That's a hallucination that you had.
I don’t know which Western European countries you are talking about but I’m French and the country is absolutely nothing like that.
My keyboard has a split spacebar, that I think is intended to let you do two different things with the thumb...

I just don't see it being that beneficial. Is like thinking you could be a better pianist if only the keyboard was arranged in a different way. Almost certainly true at a very technical level. Hard to think that is the actual limiting factor for most people, though. Even on the piano, I found that I am better with certain fingers than others, but that it just doesn't make too much sense to worry about that at the beginning.

I've talked with a few celebs now and then. Never asked for a photo or autograph. But I would make an exception. I just missed meeting Robert Plant at a local restaurant, and if I had met him, I would have debased myself for a picture and autograph.
Touchscreens are okay-ish, almost inevitable for majority of functionality except climate.

It's the capacitive touch buttons that is the biggest wtf.
By "back in the day" I mean 10+ years ago, and you'd have to browse for a few days.

I am not sure why I am being downvoted for something that I and others have observed; must be the Amazon fanboys having a hard time acknowledging they work for a shitty company. Other companies have done this for years too, like airlines. It's also not like you need to search very hard to see all the lawsuits Amazon is involved in, but here is one link describing price changes (which occur due to many things, of course, not just user profiling):

https://talkradionews.com/does-amazon-increase-price-after-v...

Don't forget that Amazon is also the same company that removed 1984 from people's devices. Of all books...
What’s wrong with for loops?
The article mentioned NFS metrics, a hot button issue of mine.

Having worked on systems with intermittent bad nfs performance, the client side logging for NFS in Linux seems very poor since it’s handled in the kernel, client side reboots clear inode caches, and it’s not hard to wedge up clients with a recursive find (or worse recursive grep) commands when directories have tens of thousands of log files or hundreds of GB of files. The raw NFS rpc metrics are tricky to interpret but I am not at all surprised you see huge spikes. If you find a way to correlate those NFS metrics with what’s happening with the actual issuing commands or processes, you’re doing better than I and let me know!!
I'm still hoping for something like that but in a Razr-like body with modern components.
Of course it can. Just extract the qsort implementation to a static library pulled in by the kernel and by libc.
I don't understand why uber couldn't be profitable? Every time anyone uses their app, they bring in x dollars in fees. Seems pretty lucrative to get multiple dollars basically anytime a user opens your app.
A similar thing can be said about those who see certain ideas as dogmatic. They're so resistant to hearing what the categorize as dogmatic thinking, they often can't hear good ideas.

User stories are great, when they make sense and the people reading them and writing them agree on the methodology. Agile is fine for those who like the model but so is (trigger warning: anti patterns being complimented ahead) waterfall. I prefer Kanban but it works well for my team I'm ways agile doesn't. I like it so much, I talk about it. I also like user stories but for a different use case: SLOs. Surprise! I subscribe to the SLOs.

Any of the things I just said could be portrayed as one form of dogma or another. It's only a bad thing when people don't align. When people share or at least agree to a methodology, they're great.
