Personally, I like the Apple ones. I’m partially sighted, so I should probably want the stronger visual design, but I don’t.

What I prefer is consistency with the OS. My OS is my main tool for interacting with the digital realm. My life would be easier if the conventions were more evenly applied. Custom scrollbars concern me that my OS defaults are being overriden: will the field scroll at the expected speed; can I flick it and catch it as I’m used to; is the scale expressive of content size?

Custom scrollbars tell me that the developer doesn’t care about me, they care more about their brand manager and their pay check. This suggests the product they represent wont suit me.

Along with intrusive pop-ups, subscription overlays, and “we value your privacy”, it’s a clear sign I should not engage with that provder.
A friend of mine recently tried MDMA after suffering for many years with trauma and other issues and it quite literally changed their life after a single dose. Many things were remembered that had been suppressed and the pain associated with these memories was severely lessened afterwards (not entirely). It was night and day talking through things with them that they couldn’t bring up previously without breaking down.
The funny thing about this case is that it isn't possible for coffee to be over 100C. If it were, then you'd be receiving an empty cup and a cloud of steam.

So the mere fact that the victim didn't receive an empty cup says that the coffee must have been at 99C or below - and that is IMO the temperature that I would expect a coffee to be...

Where do you draw the line then? Caffeine? St Johns Wort?

People take drugs, and they're going to do so whether they're legal or not. People have addictions and control issues with food too, we're not talking about banning MSG or sugar. The majority (not all) of the harm comes from the illegal market they exist in. A controlled environment can only make things safer for people, and provide a basis for supporting people with issues. This works everywhere it's been tried.

It doesn’t, therapy does. When you take it suddenly - within an hour - you find yourself in a very different mindstate where you don’t feel shit, maybe for the first time in your life. This experience can shorten the time you need to process, it can make the therapy shorter. It’s not the drug doing its thing, it’s you and the therapist together doing the thing.

I use windows 10 ltsc on one of my personal laptops, and yesterday I had to use ms teams... you actually have to try hard to make software that bad, it's on the level of itunes on windows, and itunes isn't like that because of incompetence obviously but greed, so ms teams gives you those fake choices of "you can log in if you want" "you can use your login across your windows pc" and it doesn't have yes or no just close and continue/signin.
I obviously will never use edge because of how slimy their tactics to push have been, but it really surprises me how this disrespect of privacy still surprises people, they've been doing it for a long time: telemetry, linkedin reseting its user's privacy settings every other month, can't uninstall edge on windows 11 without scripts, r/windows shills deleting any negative comment, etc. wouldn't surprise me to find out they're training LLMs on private github repos or just copying them for their own apps.

How did the study establish causality? Basically, how did they determine that obese people lose the “gut-brain” reward connection, as opposed to people who lack the connection being the ones who become obese in the first place?

The fact that this connection isn’t regained after weight loss would suggest that it was the genetic lack of this connection that led the participants to become obese, as opposed to obesity causing them to lose this connection.

> understanding language and understanding concepts is the same thing

It most definitely is not. Are you not aware of non-verbal modes of cognition? I can recall and process physical processes, complex emotional experiences, without using language. I'm willing to bet you, and everyone else, can too.

> to think one can understand language and not understand concepts is to not understand language.

This is circular logic. We have material evidence of a system that can competently handle language, while falling short of understanding even basic underlying arithmetic, logic, etc.
Completely agree with your perspective. Life is about making choices, and sometimes breaking out requires sacrificing certain aspects of our lives to gain momentum. When you dare to think and act differently, you become the odd one out, and your community may not accept you. But if you do break out and succeed, you reap the rewards you deserve, such as wealth and a home. However, it's often impossible to go back to the roots you left behind without even realizing it during the breakout. Personal growth happens along the way, even if others fail to see or understand it. Ultimately, it's crucial to trust your instincts and listen to your gut when deciding whether to break out or not. Thank you for this interesting discussion - inspiring.

Wow. Pretty intense story. Did you actually start taking heroin due to suicidal thoughts?
I think what has happened is that because Python is sweet and easy to use for many things, it generated irrational expectations that is perfect for all things. But its just an interpreted language that started as a scripting and gluing oriented language.

Its deployment story is where this gap frequently shows. Desktop apps at best passable, whereas e.g. android apps practically non-existing despite the efforts of projects like kivy.
My point was that a general "no app shall customize scrollbar look and feel" is wrong, as there are certain kinds of apps that do benefit from custom look and feel. Sure, not all games, but also games are not so entirely different from other kinds of apps.

Also, I thought the specific points about CSS and how to achieve custom styling if desired are irrelevant. The arguments I was replying to were about UX, not about details of how that is implemented.
I would like to thank everyone for contributing. There are way too many approaches to try them all, but my further research led me to the following conclusion:

So, Oracle thinks they've changed their culture? I'm not even sure you really can change a culture that's ingrained and core to the company, at least not without sacking 80% of the prior staff that has internalized it.

I’ve mentioned the last year of my life on HN where my wife and I decided to get rid of everything we own that wouldn’t fit in four suitcases including our cars and we became “hybrid digital nomads”. We fly to different cities across the US and stay in midrange extended stay hotels and stay in our own “Condotel”[1] the other six months in Florida.

What I haven’t talked about is what got us to this point. I grew up in a small town in southwest GA, moved to metro Atlanta in 1996 and stayed there until last year.

We had a house built in 2016 in the northern burbs and thought we had our “forever home”. All the time from 1996 -2020 I bumped around between 7 jobs as a journeymen “enterprise dev”.

My wife had lived in metro Atlanta all of her life. We got married in 2012 (both on our second marriage).

Everything changed in 2020. Our youngest son (my stepson) graduated from high school, Covid happened (didn’t fatally affect anyone in our inner or outer circle) and I fell into a remote job at BigTech.

When things got back to normal around 2021, we both realized that life is short and we wanted a change. That’s what caused us to blow up our life and we are both happier now that we really can’t acquire “stuff”.

When we left our condo in March to start our six month trip, we put it in the rental pool, it gets professional managed like a hotel room and we get half the rent to cover our mortgage.

We don’t own a car. We take Uber for six months once we hit a city and we have a Sixt subscription and we rent a car by the month when we are at home.

I would agree and yet if you aren’t responding they pollute the space and talk to each other simulating a real discussion and creating an effect that many are agree with them. Naive people unaware of their tactics were literally telling me “ this is what majority think”. So only after my explanation about how it works they were more questioning it. But some people were still arguing: No, no , I’ve heard it from real people the same …. And you can imagine where those ‘other people’ were taking ideas from.

It’s a huge problem and I am still looking for a proper solution.

VictoriaLogs will be easier to setup and operate than qryn and self-hosted Sentry. Single-node VictoriaLogs is a single small self-contained statically linked binary with zero external dependencies. It runs with optimal settings out of the box on any hardware - from Raspberry PI to high-end servers with hundreds CPU cores and terabytes of RAM.

Additionally, VictoriaLogs will provide more user-friendly query language - LogsQL, which is easier to use than SQL at ClickHouse or the query language provided by Grafana Loki.

Alcohol is an acquired taste, and so are low/zero-alcohol beers - if you can slowly get used to the better wheat beers you give yourself a ton of headroom in pubs. I quit the booze with the drinkless technique in which you measure your booze consumption over a period and then set yourself targets. I still love pubs, however, but manage to not drink now.

I kept meeting high performance people who didn't drink - like, all the people I met in a three-month period - and that helped. In the UK, people get a bit angry when you tell them you've quit the booze, which is quite funny, but they'll get over it.

Not sure what mocktails you're drinking, but a virgin bloody mary or pina colada seems fairly innocuous?

It absolutely is. All these rural communities only existed in the past because there was an economic need for them, usually because of the mining or agricultural industries. The mining industries have dried up in many places, leading to "ghost towns" (this was happening back in the 1800s), and agriculture these days doesn't need nearly as much labor, so there just isn't much reason for many of these communities to continue to exist without some new industry to support them. So people are moving away to other places where there's jobs. This isn't a new story; it's been happening for centuries, or even millennia. But now, all of a sudden, people are bemoaning it for some odd reason.

> given previous emergent behavior I wouldn’t rule it out.

I find this an interesting turn of phrase, because "emergent behavior" is often used by those holding a reductionist view to hand wave away complexity that cannot be reduced to the analyzed elements. In a way it makes me think of Greek sophists, who would cogently argue for two opposing view points and making a convincing case for both. It's way easier to make a verbal case about something than to prove it true, or false.

If people in rural areas want the services and conveniences of urban areas, they should move there. It's very simple.

>"I don't like rural areas or the people who live in them. In fact, I hope they all leave or die."

No, my attitude is that rural people live an unsustainable lifestyle that demands subsidization by city dwellers. Why should rural dwellers get this if they're not able to afford the extravagance of rural living on their own? If they want money and jobs, they need to move to where the jobs are. Human societies have been working this way for thousands of years now. This isn't something brand-new.

If rural dwellers like it so much in rural areas, they need to learn to accept and live with the downsides that go with that, such as lack of medical services, instead of complaining.

At some point you might as well just do it yourself cause it’s easier. I’ve gotten to this point more than once with ChatGPT. ChatGPT will get you like 70% of the way initially and if you are lucky you’ll hit 90% with a lot of time invested in “prompt engineering”.

The thing is, none of these are mind readers. And text is a very poor way to define tight specs. The best way for software is to code it yourself. Code is the spec. Same with drawing. The spec is the drawing itself. Only the human can control that.
